The moment Qi Bingyu heard Moyin say that Chun Yuanlian was following from a distance, she knew that she had accidentally stepped into Moyin's trap.

If she admitted now that she had been to the Plum Garden, then the Wannian Ginseng incident would be settled, so she could not admit that she had been to the Plum Garden no matter what, otherwise even Jin Wei Nan would not be able to protect her.

The so-called strict punishment for those who confess and life imprisonment, leniency for those who resist, this is what it means to go home for the New Year.

She had observed carefully before and found that there were no surveillance cameras around when she was communicating with the children in Plum Garden, so Moyin could not produce any evidence at all.

In this way, as long as she refuses to admit it, she will still have a chance of survival. This is her only choice.

"Of course I don't have any video that can be used as evidence. After all, you were very cautious and chose a place to talk that was away from surveillance cameras."

Mo Yin spoke up.

"So this is all your conjecture, teacher. I can't accept such a ridiculous accusation."

Qi Bingyu answered decisively.

"Well, since you insist that you are innocent, let's talk about a few other questions."

Mo Yin said indifferently.

Qi Bingyu frowned. Instinctively, she didn't want to answer any of Moyin's questions, but Moyin was carrying the Xuanlong Order, and she was under great pressure from Moyin, so she had no choice but to answer.

"Tell me, teacher, what do you want to know?"

Qi Bingyu answered with a reluctant expression.

"What were you doing at five o'clock?"

Moyin's question made Qi Bingyu's heart skip a beat.

She immediately guessed what Moyin was going to ask next.

It was obvious that if she didn't make up a perfect lie, Jin Weinan would immediately realize that something was wrong with her. But a perfect lie was not so easy to make up, not to mention that Moyin was trying every means to make things difficult for her.

"Why, is this a hard question to answer? I'm just asking what you were doing at five o'clock, right?"

Moyin asked kindly.

"I'm on vacation today and I'm not working. I should have been sleeping in the dormitory at that time. I can't remember exactly how long I slept. Sorry, teacher. I was just trying to recall how long I slept."

Qi Bingyu's answer was vague and unclear.

Only by making everything vague would she be able to fish in troubled waters. She knew that it was impossible to make up a perfect lie in a short period of time, so she simply did not take Moyin's move head-on, but chose this seemingly retreating escape plan.

"So, what time did you go to bed? Did you leave your dormitory and go back during this time?"

Moyin asked, pressing on.

"I was hungry around six o'clock, so I went out to eat something and then went back to the dormitory."

Qi Bingyu answered reluctantly.

At six o'clock, she did take off her makeup and returned to the dormitory. Other Xuanlongmen students saw her at that time, so in order to prove the fact that she had gone out, she had to make up a reasonable reason.

"So where did you have dinner? What kind of dinner was it? What time did you have it?"

Mo Yin continued to ask.

After hearing these questions, Qi Bingyu's face suddenly turned pale.

When she checked what she ate and where she ate with her boss, she naturally found that the time she told him did not match. But she had no choice. After all, if she had no problem with these questions, she could easily answer them.

The fact that she lied about these issues was proof that something was wrong with her.

Moyin's move was a clear-cut open conspiracy, and an open conspiracy, unlike a secret conspiracy, cannot be cracked by taking shortcuts.

Overt conspiracy can only be cracked with equal power and conditions, so facing Moyin's questioning, she could only walk towards her slow death step by step.

Qi Bingyu's hesitation naturally made Jin Weinan realize that something was wrong.

"Hey, Qi Bingyu, you are not really related to the smuggling of ginseng?!"

Jin Weinan shouted sternly, if this matter was really an internal embezzlement by the Xuanlong Sect and it was used to discredit the Xuanwu Chamber of Commerce, then the impact would be very bad. Once the matter spread, the reputation accumulated by the Xuanlong Sect over the years would be destroyed, which was something she could not tolerate.

"I'm not, I didn't, how could I be related to the Wannian Ginseng incident?"

Qi Bingyu nervously defended herself.

"Then answer the teacher's questions quickly! To prove your innocence!"

Jin Weinan immediately urged. She was more anxious than Qi Bingyu about this matter. After all, this was related to the reputation of Xuanlongmen!

1747 Even if the king of heaven comes today, he can't save her!

"I ate tofu and pig intestines at Long Xiaoxia's Pig's Hoof Shop at around five o'clock. I don't usually check the clock before eating, so I can't remember the exact time."

Qi Bingyu gritted her teeth and answered calmly.

She has no way back now. The only way is to go to death. If there is a problem that Moyin can no longer investigate, then she will have a chance of survival.

If she changed her story now, she would have no way to escape from the lies she had told before, so she could not admit that she had lied before.

"Is that so? Qi Bingyu, are all the things you said before true? Please answer this question for me."

Moyin asked.

Qi Bingyu suddenly felt a headache.

Instead of asking this question, Moyin might as well continue asking her about what happened next, that way at least she could get away with it.

But now this issue is equivalent to a showdown with her, and she didn't want to dwell too much on this topic.

After all, she had only had contact with the students of Plum Garden between five and six o'clock. If she could get through this period of time, she wouldn't need to tell too many lies to get through the subsequent problems.

But Moyin now clearly wanted to fight her to the death on this issue.

But now that it has come to this, she can no longer admit that she lied before.

Helpless, Qi Bingyu had to nod.

"What I said is real."

This time, Moyin did not continue to question Qi Bingyu, but turned to Jin Weinan.

"Jinwei Nan, you heard everything, she said everything she said was true, right?"

Moyin looked at Jinwei Nan and confirmed.

"Yeah, I heard it, and I can testify that she did say that."

Konoe Nan nodded.

"That's great, then we can just go to Long Xiaoxia's Hoof Flower Shop."

Moyin stood up and said.

He did not ask Jin Weinan to make any promises about this. Rather, he just wanted to take this opportunity to see Jin Weinan's reaction to this matter.

If after confirming that Qi Bingyu was involved in the smuggling of thousand-year-old ginseng, Jin Weinan still intended to protect her, then the task of clearing out the Xuanlong Sect would probably have to start with the second-in-command.

Although this will cause great trouble to Long Hua Feisaki, it is undoubtedly a necessary sacrifice.

It's like necrotic flesh growing on the body. If left alone, it will cause infection and eventually take people's lives.

However, if the rotten flesh is cut off and the wound is treated properly, there is still a possibility that the person can survive.

The current Xuanlongmen is equivalent to a dying person with a large number of necrotic parts, and Longhua Feisaki is the immune system in this body that turns the tide.

If one day Long Hua Feisaki's successor fails to exert the same oppressive power as her, the Shanhaijing Academy will decline from then on.

Therefore, if it is confirmed that Konoe Nan is also the one who has been corrupted, then a drastic decision must be made.

"Okay, I'll take you there."

Qi Bingyu said this proactively. Seeing Qi Bingyu so proactive, Jin Weinan immediately felt relieved.

If Qi Bingyu was really lying, how could she dare to take me there! As expected, all the previous worries were worthless.

"Teacher, I told you that you are too suspicious. You even have to ask about trivial matters like eating. If you have this free time, you might as well hide outside and visit people. Maybe you can find out something related to the criminal."

Jinwei Nan said very proudly.

"Don't worry, everything will be clear when we get to Long Xiaoxia's Hoof Flower Shop. There's no need to rush for so long."

Moyin replied calmly.

The moments of panic when Qi Bingyu was answering him had already made him certain that Qi Bingyu had told a lot of lies.

Jin Weinan couldn't tell that Qi Bingyu was lying, but he could see through it.

It can only be said that Qi Bingyu's mental quality is really strong. Even when he is about to die, he can still lead people to his coffin without changing his expression, then open the lid and lie down in it.

So it's not without reason that Jinwei Nan would deceive her.

It would be better to say that even Ya Liu, who was following him, was deceived by Qi Bingyu's perfect acting skills.

But anyway, everything would be clear when they got to Long Xiaoxia's Hoof Flower Shop, so he was not in a hurry to expose Qi Bingyu's lies.

…………

Half an hour later, the group arrived at the door of Long Xiaoxia's Hoof Flower Shop.

When Qi Bingyu was about to push the door and walk into the store, Moyin suddenly grabbed her shoulders.

"Just wait here, Jin Weinan, go in and ask Qi Bingyu if he had eaten here at five or six o'clock today, and if so, what dish did he order."

Moyin opened his mouth and gave the order.

If the shop owner is an acquaintance of Qi Bingyu, he might cooperate with her in perjury, which would then be a big trouble. After all, proving perjury is a difficult task in itself, so he didn't intend to let Qi Bingyu speak at all.

"I see. I'll go in and ask."

Jin Weinan was not vague and immediately walked into Long Xiaoxia's flower shop.

five minutes later.

With a livid face and an expression of confusion and a hint of anger, Jin Weinan walked out of Long Xiaoxia's flower shop.

"Qi Bingyu, what on earth are you doing?!!! The store manager said you didn't even come here to eat today! Are you treating us like idiots??!!!!"
