Ning Zhuo stared at Yang Weida's body and was silent for a while.
Yang Weida's face was calm, but it just gave people the feeling of being asleep.
He couldn't help but recall his relationship with Yang Weida.
At first, when I saw him on the boat, he looked straightforward and rough, but in fact he was shrewd and bold, and asked Qing Yan for a reward and proposed a bone-piercing crocodile stomach, but Qing Yan refused without hesitation.
However, in Ning Zhuo's view, this is nothing more than a set of bargaining techniques that start with a high price at the beginning.
Therefore, in the end, Qing Yan still gave six magic weapon-level soul crossing wicks.
After that, Yang Weida was taken away by Wen Nephrine.
Later, in Zangyang Beppu, Yang Weida sold his aphrodisiac ointment to the male cultivators around him, which was very popular.
Then to the aphrodisiac hospital, he actively practiced and worked hard.
Finally, after Jin Yancha had a new owner, he decisively surrendered and attached a large amount of money.
said that it was all his net worth, but there was no proof, and Ning Zhuo maintained a certain degree of skepticism. Even so, this amount of money that Yang Weida took the initiative to offer was definitely a huge amount of money for most foundation building monks.
To be honest, Ning Zhuo appreciates Yang Weida more.
This monk is not talented, but he has always worked very hard, is not stingy with sacrifice, and has a spirit of adventure. Even if he suffers repeated setbacks, he does not change his fighting spirit and can make flexible adjustments according to the actual situation.
Ning Zhuo promised him to arrange a future for him in the White Paper Immortal City, not only valuing his surrender attitude, but also optimistic about him as a person.
However...
He died.
All the efforts, the bitterness of the past, dissipated with the wind, and no one even cared.
Because this time, there were really too many male concubines who died, almost all of the people in the aphrodisiac hospital, and Yang Weida was just one of them.
Ning Zhuo's mood was complicated.
The White Paper Immortal City was like a huge whirlpool, and the number of people who died in it was countless from the past to the present.
The brutal battle made the monk's life like a mustard.
Yang Weida once told Ning Zhuo about his bitterness, saying that what he had worked so hard to pursue but could not get was placed on Ning Zhuo, but he didn't care.
Ning Zhuo and his joys and sorrows are not in common, but at the same time, they are sympathetic to each other.
Yang Weida's death touched Ning Zhuo's heart.
"What is the difference between me and Yang Weida?"
"To the lord of the White Paper Immortal City, to the lord of Wangchuan, I am just an ant.'
"In such a turbulent whirlpool, if I am not careful, I will die."
And Wen Nephrite, who came to the Aphrodisiac Hospital, was flushed, and his face was full of anger.
"This damn traitor! Who is he?!"
Wen Nephora can't wait to fight with the traitor now.
Before, he thought that he would do his best to monitor so that the traitors would no longer have a chance.
As a result, it seems that the traitor just didn't make a move, or he was preparing a means of plotting and was ready to go.
Wen Nephrite clenched her fists tightly, and blue veins burst out on the back of her fists.
He couldn't imagine how far the news of the almost complete destruction of the Aphrodisiac Institute would ferment this time, and how huge the blow would be to the morale of the entire city of the White Paper Immortal City.
Every time he guessed about this aspect, Wen Nephrite felt a chill from the bottom of his heart.
Ning Zhuo said on the side: "Once the traitor is not found out, people will inevitably panic."
"Even myself, at this moment, I feel that this traitor is simply powerful!"
Wen Nephrite nodded, and his voice became hoarse: "We must do our best to investigate, we must find out the identity of the traitor and give an explanation to the Immortal City, otherwise the White Paper Immortal City is likely to collapse!"
This time, the traitor's move directly put the White Paper Immortal City in a rather dangerous situation.
And Ning Zhuo and Wen Neiyu, who have been in charge of this matter, are even more burdened with huge responsibilities.
The relevant monks quickly came over to report.
"Are you saying that these male concubines all died of poisoning?" Wen Nephrite frowned.
Ning Zhuo was not surprised.
The male concubines did not have any wounds on their bodies, just their faces were in pain. Poisoning is the most likely cause of death.
"What kind of poison is it, and what are the clues now?" Wen Nephrine continued to ask.
"A poison comes from ——— a certain spiritual food." The monk immediately replied.
"Where does spiritual food come from?" Wen Nephrine continued to ask.
The monk replied with a name, which made Ning Zhuo's eyes widen instantly.
Wen Nephrite also felt incredible: "From his hand? Are you sure that's right?! This is impossible! It can't be his."
Wen Nephrite was actually the first to defend the suspect.
Because of this, this person is the old man of the White Paper Immortal City, the senior spiritual chef of the Dark Cuisine faction, and the old man who took the initiative to give it to Ning Zhuo Spiritual Chef inheritance.
Soon, the old man of the spirit kitchen was brought to Wen Nephrite and Ning Zhuo.
"It's ridiculous!" The old man of the spirit kitchen was tied up by five flowers, denied it, and was very emotional.
"Chef Lao, you are a little safe, with me, I will not wrongfully accuse you." Wen Nephrite took the lead in speaking to guarantee.
The old man of the spirit chef was very angry: "If you doubt others, you shouldn't doubt me!!"
"Yes, yes." Wen Nephrite nodded and bent over, sweat oozing from her forehead.
Although the old man Spirit Chef firmly denied it, in a short period of time, there was only one suspect like him.
Wen Nephrite was good at talking, so he persuaded the old man of the spirit kitchen not to worry for the time being, to temporarily detain him pending trial, and suggested that he come up with evidence against himself.
Ning Zhuo also persuaded a word or two.
Only Wen Nephron and Ning Zhuo were left, and the former raised his forehead and said: "Things are getting more and more complicated, I am almost certain that this is a traitor framing the chef."
"Although this trick is naïve, it is too disgusting!"
"This traitor wants to mess up our mentality, don't get too excited."
Ning Zhuo shook his head slightly and folded his arms: "First of all, I have the same judgment as you. This is obviously a frame-up, but."
"But what?" Wen Nephrite asked, "You have been thinking since just now."
"I know that you have received the favor of the chef and accepted a part of his spiritual chef inheritance. But just after negotiating, you only said a few words."
"If you look at it from an outsider's point of view, I'm afraid you will think that I am the one who received the inheritance of the chef's gift."
Wen Nejade is a Confucian cultivator after all, and he is so subtle in criticizing others.
Ning Zhuo continued to shake his head and looked at Wen Nepheunyu expressionlessly: "You misunderstood me, I just think it's a little weird."
Wen Nephrite was immediately interested: "Oh? What's weird?"
Wen Nejade recognized and valued Ning Zhuo very much, and the latter thought it was strange, so there was probably a problem.
But Ning Zhuo shrugged his shoulders at the next moment and smiled bitterly: "This is just an inexplicable emotion of mine, I always feel that something seems to be wrong, but I can't get the point when I dig deeper for a while!"
"That's right—"
Wen Nephrite sighed in disappointment, "If you think about it, you must notify me first."
"Hmm." Ning Zhuo nodded, "Before that, I should go to prison first, explain it in person, and let the prison head take good care of the chef."
Wen Nephora shook her head: "The traitor is so rampant and cruel, it's better not to expose your identity as the deputy city lord. Let me come, if you are not at ease, why don't you go with me."
"Then forget it." Ning Zhuo frowned, shook his head and refused, "As long as you take good care of the chef, the most critical issue at the moment is to investigate the traitors."
"I want to search the scene myself."
"Hmm." Wen Nephrite nodded, "I'll accompany you."
The two joined forces to inspect the entire aphrodisiac hospital together, but they gained nothing.
"I only remember that it was weirder" Ning Zhuo watched the corpses being collected by the monks one by one, but they didn't get the point.
Wen Nephrite: "Alas! Think about it, I'll mobilize manpower first and think about how to deal with this mess."
Since the death of Mourning Youling, his pressure has increased a lot.
Now that such a big thing has happened, his pressure has skyrocketed.
The next day.
Ning Zhuo received a flying letter from Wen Nephrite.
The content in the flying letter made Ning Zhuo change color on the spot, and he was surprised, and after being shocked, he felt even more incredible.
He hurriedly came to the prison and met Wen Nephrat and the old man Spirit Kitchen here.
The old man of the spirit kitchen had many wounds on his body, was tied up by five flowers, and his breath was dying.
Wen Nejab stood in front of him, glanced at Ning Zhuo, and then turned to look at the old man: "Are you really tricky? This is not a joke!"
The old man of the spirit kitchen sneered: "I made it! It was I who killed these male concubines, and I was one of the traitors.

"The White Paper City Lord wants to use the Golden Swallow Fork to return to his old appearance and regain control of the center, which is impossible!"
"Hehehe.
"The Sun family is too happy, and you monks who secretly take care of Sun Tiesheng are too naïve and shallow. I went in and out several times, as if I were in a no-man's land."
"You held a celebration banquet and asked me to make spiritual food, in my opinion, what is the difference between taking the initiative to die?" 」
"Hahaha, this is a god-given opportunity, and it is also a destiny for the White Paper Immortal City!"
The old man of the spirit kitchen actually confessed to the crime.
His attitude has changed dramatically from before.
No matter what Wen Neptune and Ning Zhuo said, he insisted on this crime without changing his words.
There was no way, so the two had to arrange to settle the old man in the spirit kitchen well, and the two of them came out to discuss first.
"Do you think he's a traitor?" Ning Zhuo asked first, and then replied himself, "I don't think so."
Ning Zhuo still remembers the scene where the old man made spiritual food for himself on the spot and took the initiative to give the spiritual food inheritance.
It makes no sense that a mole would do such a thing.
"But if he's not, why admit he did it?" Wen Nephrite frowned, "And he has such a resolute attitude, he must know that what awaits him is to be convicted and executed!"
Ning Zhuo stared at Wen Neptune: "Actually, the old man's confession like this is good for you and me, isn't it?"
After all, they had been ordered to investigate before, but there was no result.
This time, the traitor made a move, killing almost all the male concubines in the Aphrodisiac Institute, and the heavy responsibility borne by these two people was huge, and Ning Zhuo, as the only few ordinary male concubines, also had huge suspicions.
If you really want to go with the flow, then Ning Zhuo and Wen Nephrite will at least be under pressure for now.
Wen Nephrite looked at Ning Zhuo without hesitation: "Why do you and I try each other? I know your disposition, and you should also know my aspirations and ambitions. I am a Confucian cultivator, and I can't do unjust, false and wrong cases for my own selfish interests!"
Wen Nephiyu was decisive and looked firm.
Ning Zhuo nodded: "Did you let him be tortured?"
Wen Nephrite shook her head again: "Absolutely not. I left with you last night and never came back. And a strict order was issued, no third person except you and me should approach the cell, and violators would be executed immediately!"
Ning Zhuo nodded again: "Okay, since it's not you, who else can give this order? Who else can come to the prison quietly?"
Wen Nephrite's face was as heavy as water, and she lowered her head and stared at the floor tiles under her feet, falling into a dead silence.
After a long time, he said in a hoarse voice: "I know what you want to say.
"The contemporary city lord did have a life-saving grace to the old man—"
This simple sentence, when Wen Nephrite said it, she felt very painful, it was literally a thousand words.
Ning Zhuo no longer stared at Wen Neptune, but turned his gaze and looked in the direction of the city lord's mansion.
He asked meaningfully: "How long has it been since you saw the city lord?"
After a pause, L Zhuo added: "I mean, her body."
Wen Nejab was startled, and also looked at the city lord's mansion: "It's been a long time, it's really ——— a long time."
Wen Nephrite is the right-hand man of the city lord of the White Paper Greedy City, especially in the sacrifice of the funeral and Youling, in the huge white paper greedy city, the real backbone is only Wen Nephrite and Tie Guzheng.
And Erzhao is the position of deputy city lord.
Nomaru surpassed the two of them, quietly came to the prison, and the only person who changed the attitude of the old spirit chef was probably the city lord.
Why did she do this?
To this question, L Zhuo himself answered one by one, "For the sake of white paper greedy for the city."
The matter of the Aphrodisiac Hospital has made too much trouble, the entire Greedy City is panicked, and the morale has suffered an extremely huge blow.
The performance of the City Lord's Mansion has repeatedly disappointed, can we really resist this ghost tide under its leadership?
And this time the ghost tide is not only the ghost tide, but also the army from the underworld!
In this case, the white paper city lord chose to sacrifice a soil repairer, indicating that he quickly verified and found one of the traitors, which was undoubtedly the fastest way to solve the crisis.
It must be fast!
Otherwise, if public opinion spreads again, it will profoundly affect the entire Greedy City, leading to a complete rout, and it will be almost irreversible.
L My heart is mixed.
"I understand the city lord, everything is for the sake of the overall situation, and forbearance is needed. And many times, such sacrifices are necessary and worth it."
Forbearance· Just like L Zhuo once spent more than ten years in the fire persimmon city.
Erzhao frowned, feeling very uncomfortable.
If he had been in the Fire Persimmon Greedy City, he would swallow all kinds of complex emotions, lower his head and grit his teeth, and endure it silently.
But he had traveled to many places, and he had changed, but at this moment, a voice sounded from the bottom of his heart, and this voice became louder and louder: "If I were the lord of the city on a blank paper, I wouldn't do this! Even if someone wants to die for me!"
There are such people in Wubian.
He had no doubt that Sun Lingtong would make sacrifices for himself.
He had no doubt about himself, and he would willingly do such an action for Sun Lingtong.
This has been verified by facts in the Fire Persimmon Greedy City, when fighting against Qi Bai.
"The White Paper City Lord gave me the Four Treasures of Soul Cultivation, gave me the position of Deputy City Lord, and vigorously supported the Qingjiao Army in the future.
But my savior, in her heart, what is the existence?"
He subconsciously looked in the direction of the south of the city, where there was the paper man colossus left by his mother.
Meng Yaoyin was once a savior, in order to save this greedy city, he did not hesitate to waste his own yangshou, and now only a paper man colossus remains.
"The city lord of the white paper arranged the old spirit chef in this way, and once arranged for my mother."
"What about me?"
"How will she arrange for me?"
"Savior—"
Just at this incident, the sound of ghosts crying wolf heroes came from outside the city.
Immediately, the war drums were beaten one after another, and the battle flags were waving.
The ghost tide came again, and the scale was far greater than before.
The city defense battle broke out again.
The iron bone was as heavy as water, and when he looked at it, he saw the Yin army mighty and appeared on the edge of the sky.
Referring to the military information collected, Iron Bone Zheng Yu immediately judged: This growing Yin army is going out this time!
The traitor almost destroyed the entire Aphrodisiac Courtyard, and at a time when the whole city was panicking, sending troops at this moment was indeed the best fighter.
White paper greedy city, dangerous!
