Attack Jade (攻玉) - Chapter 46

[Chapter 33 (2)]
Since Lin Chengyou is a Dali critic, he should have the right to intervene.
Next to Lin Chengyou was a green-robed official in his 20s or 30s, who was probably the Dali Temple Sizhi. After the two said a few words, Lin Chengyou waved to He Mingsheng: “Call everyone out and wait for questioning in the garden. There is no need to vacate another room, just in the small Buddha hall.”
He Mingsheng dared to dodge, and agreed with a series of voices: “Yes.” The
official looked around for a week, and said: “While I am waiting for the question, no one in the building is allowed to do so without permission. Talking, let alone leave without authorization, if you violate the law, you should be punished by fear of crime and trouble.”
Juesheng and Jizhi rarely did not stick to Lin Chengyou, but stood on the other side far away. The Five Paths of Dongmingguan also came, and they were pulling Juesheng and Qizhi to inquire about something. As soon as these words came out, all the paths were silent.
Teng Yuyi glanced at Cheng Bo, and Cheng Bo nodded secretly.
There were quite a few prostitutes in Caifeng Tower, and there were about one or two hundred people, including the temple guests and servants. Lin Chengyou and the Dali Temple Secretary were each in charge of half, and no matter how fast they were, they had to ask about noon.
Fortunately, Dali Temple soon dispatched officials to help him. For that matter, more than an hour had passed by the time Teng Yuyi was invited to the Small Buddha Hall for questioning.
The door of the Small Buddha Hall was open, and as soon as you approached it, people shivered. Teng Yuyi looked around proudly. The place was still so gloomy and cold. I heard that Lin Chengyou and Wudao slept here last night.
Just as she was about to go in, a person came out. She raised her head in a hurry, and that person met Teng Yuyi’s gaze.
Teng Yuyi was startled, Ge Jin.
Ge Jinxiang had tears in her cheeks, and wiped it with a handkerchief as she walked. Teng Yuyi looked at Ge Jin secretly. No wonder Wudao said that this woman was a little bit like her, and that it was not like anything else, except for her eyes, which were all slender eyelashes and apricot round eyes. If it is like ink, if it contains Yingying tears, it has a kind of moving charm.
Teng Yuyi smiled and cupped her hands: “Ms. Gejin?”
Gejin had never seen the bearded young man in front of him before, so he casually bowed, “Young Master.”
After speaking, he left in a hurry, and Teng Yuyi walked in. There was a banner and a flower incense burner on the bill, but the boy statue behind the bill disappeared. At this time, the official of Dali Temple was standing in front of the bill. Writing a page book, holding a pen in his hand.
Lin Chengyou sat lazily on one side with his arms crossed.
Teng Yuyi bowed respectfully: “I have seen His Royal Highness, I have seen Si Zhi.” The
Dali Temple Si Zhi looked at the strange barbarian, and then looked at Lin Chengyou. The strange thing was that he did not inquire about Teng Yuyi’s life history in detail, but asked directly. What happened last night: “The prince was in the room last night?”
“Don’t dare to wander around.”
“Have you heard anything?”
” Never.” “I
heard that Ling Zun sent two guards to accompany you, you sleep Now, they must not dare to sleep deeply, what did they tell you?”
“Huoqiu bumped into Qingzhi in the corridor last night. He thought Qingzhi was suspicious, so he asked her a few questions.”
Lin Chengyou’s eyes lighted Flickering: “What time did Qingzhi say?”
Teng Yuyi elaborated on what happened last night.
Lin Chengyou glanced at his colleagues: “Young Master Wang can go, call Huoqiu in for questioning.”
Teng Yuyi said goodbye and left.
At noon, Qingzhi’s corpse was taken away, everyone’s foot restraint was lifted, and they were told that they could move around in the building by themselves.
Before Huoqiu returned, Teng Yuyi asked Cheng Bo, “What did you hear in the morning?”
Cheng Bo said, “This well is used for washing clothes in the building. In the morning, the servants and maids came over to draw water and found a bucket by the well. When I saw the corpse, I found Qingzhi inside. The maid was so frightened that she lost her mind. The shouting attracted the prince and others. When the prince inspected the corpse, he seemed to find something wrong. People, Miss will know what happened later.”
Teng Yuyi nodded. As expected of Uncle Cheng, he was able to find out many details in just a short time.
“Cheng Bo, you have good eyesight, can you see what’s wrong with Qingzhi’s body?”
“The old slave tried to look closer. There were no wounds on the corpse, and the clothes were not damaged. It is the moss on the well wall, it should be caused by scratching the well wall after throwing in the well.”
“Scratching the well wall?”
Cheng Bo said, “This old slave has seen people who committed suicide by throwing into the well before, and it’s very similar to Qingzhi’s situation. The well water is very deep. , jumped in head down again, it is estimated that he had thrown into the well and regretted it, but it was too late to save himself. When he was found, he should have died soon, because the fingers had not been soaked. There should be scratches on the clothes on the abdomen, and some wounds on the body, so the old slave guessed that Qingzhi was not murdered, but this is all general, and I am afraid that only the autopsy will know.”
This is Strange, if the cause of Qingzhi’s death was not suspicious, why did Lin Chengyou bother so much?
After a while, Huoqiu came back.
“The prince called the villain over and asked all the details, such as what Qingzhi’s expression was originally, what happened when he was drunk by the villain, what things he was holding in his hand, and the hairpin on his head… the villain’s memory It’s okay, but I can’t help asking this question. I turned it upside down and revealed a little when I remembered it. The prince saw that he really couldn’t ask anything, so he let the villain come back.”
Teng Yuyi nodded: “We know everything we know. Now that we have said it, the next thing will not concern us anymore, the building is mixed with eyes and ears, you and Uncle Cheng don’t have to deliberately ask outside, even if you hear something, ignore it, come back and talk about it in private.
” Shan, Dongming Guan Wudao was discussing the matter in the hall: “I really can’t think of it, last night, there will be other troubles in the future of the corpse evil. I heard that this Qingzhi is the maidservant who was disfigured before, and the master is very good. The maid is looking for a shortcoming.”
Jianmei’s voice lowered: “I checked it out? Is it really suicide?”
“The officials of the Dali Temple openly said that the prince had no objection when he was on the sidelines. It was expected that there was nothing suspicious. Otherwise, why did not a suspect take away?”
Zhongdao breathed a sigh of relief: “That’s good, there were so many in the building last night. People, if the maid was killed by someone, the perpetrator would be too cold-blooded and bold.”
They were talking so loudly that many people in the hall quietly pricked up their ears when they heard that Qingzhi committed suicide by jumping into a well, the prostitutes looked like A little slack.
Seeing Teng Yuyi, Jian Xian greeted him warmly, “Young Master Wang.”
Teng Yuyi looked around, surprised that he didn’t see He Mingsheng.
“Everyone is well.”
“Hey, Wang Gongzi, is your voice better?”
“I’ve had a cold for a few days, and I’ve seen you long ago. I drank a drink last night, and I can talk when I wake up in the morning.” He said with a
smile . : “Last night, the prince spent money, and the old man learned from the mouth of Aunt Caly that a pot of dragon ointment is worth 5,000. I was waiting to pay you a game, but unfortunately I can conquer the corpse evil and gold in less than three days. Young Master Yi, if you want to invite Young Master Wang out for a drink in the future, I’m afraid you won’t have a chance.”
Within three days? Teng Yuyi took a seat and said, “Have you found a way to deal with the corpse evil and the young master in golden clothes?”
Seeing the pleasure of looking into the hall, and seeing all the prostitutes leave their seats, she whispered: “Last night, the prince returned to the small Buddha hall, Let’s concentrate on looking for the bizarre records of Xuanyang Temple a hundred years ago, and the result is coincidental, Wang Gongzi guess what we found?” Before waiting for
Teng Yuyi to ask, he smiled and said: “There was also a Taoist priest named Qingxuzi a hundred years ago, this man I once fought with a Yan Yao during the Maode years, and unfortunately was killed by the Yan Yao. The strange thing is that the Yan Yao has no news since then. The prince suspected that this Yan Yao was the young master in golden clothes, and searched for him in the small Buddhist hall in the middle of the night. Sure enough, it was found that “this monster is transformed by a different bird” was written on Yizhi, and since the year this beautiful monster appeared, the young master in golden clothes has not been recorded, and it will be a few years later when it appears again. ”
Seeing Xianfeng’s eyes narrowed: “Young Master Wang should have guessed that both the Taoist priest and the Young Master Jin Yi were injured. One died at the time, and the other disappeared for several years. The Young Master Jin was busy recovering from his injuries, so he had no chance to make trouble. One thing is even more bizarre. According to Xuanyang Guan Yizhi, the last fight between Qingxuzi and Jinyi Gongzi was near Fanchuan, and the body of the Taoist was also found in Fanchuan.”
“Fan Chuan? Corpse evil . Was the palace where he was imprisoned right in Fanchuan?”
Jian Mei slapped her thigh: “I haven’t figured out how the golden-clothed son and the corpse are related to each other, isn’t this coming? , If there is no trace, if it hadn’t happened to find the record of ‘Yan Yao’, I’m afraid I would never find out the origin of these two monsters in my life.”
“Which year is it written on the Yizhi?”
“Promos 10 One year.”
Teng Yuyi said in surprise: “At that time, Zhexie was still a princess raised in the palace. His name was Feng Abao, and he was only thirteen years old. Just based on the fact that the young master in golden clothes was injured near the palace, I am afraid that the two monsters could not be confirmed. How did you meet?”
“But other than that, there is no connection between the two monsters. Three years later, Feng Abao died, and ten years later, he emerged as a corpse. Young Master Jinyi acted together with him and was suppressed by the despised patriarch.”
“Even if it’s true, what does this have to do with subduing the monster within three days?”
Jianxian lowered his voice and said, “It was just suspicion before, but in reality it’s not the same. There is no evidence. After the encounter last night, I can basically confirm that the two monsters have known each other for a long time. There are not many tricks that can be practiced by corpses and monsters at the same time. Couldn’t we be able to catch him all at once?”
So this is something that hasn’t been seen yet, Teng Yuyi asked curiously, “Last time, that young man in golden clothes seemed to be seriously injured, but I wonder if he was hurt?”
“Vital?” See Meibai He waved his hand, “Where is the key point?”
Teng Yuyi’s heart tensed, and the young master in golden clothes had no key point, so how would she deliver her “deadly knife”?
“The reason why this monster has been able to act strange for a hundred years not only relies on its ever-changing abilities, but also its flying wings. If it really wants to escape, it only needs to flap its wings and it will disappear in a blink of an eye, and the prince shoots back. It’s not easy to hit it a few arrows. It is estimated that it has something to do with the magic-suppressing formation outside the mansion. Because of the injury, the action becomes slow. This time, it is estimated that the vitality will be greatly damaged. It’s even harder to hurt its vitals.”
So there it is. Teng Yuyi took a sip of tea and said, “Young Master Jinyi is very capable. To put it bluntly, he is a bird monster. Since he is made of flesh and blood, how can it not be important?”
Jian Le raised two fingers and poked himself in the face.
Teng Yuyi’s face lit up: “Eyes?”
Jian Le retracted his hand: “Not just bird monsters, but most of the monsters who make trouble in the world can’t do without their eyes. The monster is different, its eyes are not under the corpse’s ability to confuse people, as long as it looks at it, let alone want to stab its eyes, it is not bad not to be eaten by it first, so I know where it is going to harm, but it is not bad. I’m just calling Naihe.”
Teng Yuyi’s scalp tightened when he heard this, Xiaoya, a lousy old man, had no idea what he had done. He thought that Young Master Jinyi’s skills were under the evil of corpses, and it would be easier to make a move, but he didn’t expect such a dangerous situation. . She recalled the sequence of Lin Chengyou’s archery that night, her mind moved, and while rubbing the edge of the lamp, she asked, “Where is the corpse
evil? The last time the prince shot it five arrows, I don’t know what’s the point?”
Life, as long as you don’t get smashed and ashes, no matter how serious your injury is, you can slowly heal yourself.”
Teng Yuyi’s heart was half cold, this thing is so difficult to deal with, strange Tao is the king of evil, otherwise forget it this time, and change it next time A demon with low power?
“But, the corpse evil has a key point. Guess, Wang Gongzi, where is the key point?”
Teng Yuyi came to the spirit and remembered that the monster had picked her, Juan Erli and others. As far as she could see, the three Except for the eyes, there is no similarity, so I made a bold guess: “Eyes?”
Wu Dao shook his head in unison: “No.”
Teng Yuyi remembered the situation when the corpse evil shot, the red mandala-like sharp nails made people palpitate.
“Nails?”
“It’s not right.”
Teng Yuyi wanted to guess the heart pit, but he also knew that the corpse evil had no intention. Besides, Lin Chengyou shot five arrows in a row, but only spared the corpse evil’s heart pit.
The more Teng Yuyi could not guess, the more excited Wudao became.
“The poor man knows that the prince can’t guess.”
“It’s better that the prince guesses three more rounds. If he can’t guess, the prince will invite me to wait for a drink.”
Teng Yuyi sneered secretly, these old men were fighting. Good idea, seeing that she was interested in this stuff and going around trying to cheat her out of wine money.
She pondered for a while, then said with a smile, “What if I guessed right? Can you, Master, promise me one thing?”
After discussing it in a low voice, Zhu Dao whispered, “As you say! But if Wang Gongzi loses, Now, we don’t want the usual food and drink, we need the dragon paste wine from last night.”
Teng Yuyi smiled: “How difficult is this, whoever has a pen and paper, we’ll make a calligraphy as proof.”
The temple visitor in the hall brought it With a set of pen and ink, Teng Yuyi wrote down the matters and handed them over to the Taoists to read them one by one. Then he asked them to press their handprints, and they also signed and stamped them. Then he continued to guess: “throat?”
“No, no.”
“Belly? Seeing Mei was so excited that her beard trembled, as if the black dragon ointment wine was already in front of her eyes: ” Young Master
Wang, don’t blame Pindao for not reminding you, you only have one chance left.”
“I’m afraid I’m going to lose this game.”
At this time, footsteps came from outside the court, but it was Lin Chengyou who came, followed by Juesheng and Qizhi.
Lin Chengyou raised his eyebrows: “Why are you so lively?”
Wudao was in high spirits, and he was busy in the future and said: “Sir, please take a seat. If you are lucky enough to win the wine, Pindao borrows flowers to offer Buddha, and shamelessly expresses his gratitude to the prince.”
Seeing the beauty, he pretended to say: “Fangcai everyone advised Wang Gongzi to be careful . I can’t stop you.”
Teng Yuyi helplessly spread her hands: “Yeah, I can’t stop you.”
Lin Chengyou seemed to be waiting for someone, and looked a little careless, so people brought tea sets and watched them while cooking. Play.
Seeing that Teng Yuyi was slow to speak, all the Taoists kept urging: “Your Highness, please guess.”
“I am willing to admit defeat, and don’t deny it.”
Teng Yuyi put down the tea cup in a hurry, and suddenly smiled: “Yes Teeth?”
Jian Mei and the others’ smiles froze on their faces.
Jue Sheng and Qi Zhi rubbed their hands together happily.
“It doesn’t count.” Jian Xian was the first to stand up, “Young Master Wang is clearly blind.”
“That is, I guessed three times before the bet, and I guessed it three times after the bet, and the whole body is like this. There are many places, it’s just a mistake, it’s not counted.”
Teng Yuyi’s eyes slid from left to right: “What the Taoist priests just said, ‘I am willing to admit defeat and cannot deny it’, you don’t care what I guess, Since you guessed correctly, you have to admit defeat.”
Jianxi smiled and said: “If the prince guessed it himself, Pindao would have no objection, but how can there be such a coincidence in the world, the prince could not guess right before, why suddenly You guessed it right? Win or lose the bet, it’s all up to you, but if someone secretly helps you, it won’t be fair.”
Lin Chengyou raised his eyes.
Teng Yuyi said in surprise: “Jianxi Daoist, do you suspect that someone secretly told the following?”
Jianxi glanced at Juesheng and Jizhi, and meant something: “Pin Dao doesn’t mean this, but you must convince the poor Dao to lose. The prince must be able to say why.”
Jue Sheng and Qi Zhi were about to speak loudly when they were stopped by Lin Chengyou.
He sneered and said: “Today, I’ve learned a lot. The seniors of Dongmingguan used to like to renege on their debts. I don’t care how the prince guessed it, but my two junior brothers have only said one word since they came in, and I want to falsely accuse them of being secretive. Help, have I agreed to it?”
Seeing Tian blinking, it would be bad to offend Lin Chengyou if the trouble goes on, so he quickly said: “Seeing that you are talking nonsense, please don’t take it to heart. Prince, we would like to If you admit defeat, tell me what you want us to do for you.”
Teng Yuyi said lukewarmly, “You suspect me of cheating for no reason, it’s not enough to just agree to my request, if I can tell the reason, you I have to apologize to me and the two little Taoist priests.”
“Okay! As long as the prince can speak the truth, the poor Taoist will surely make amends .
” That
‘s it.”
Teng Yuyi sneered: “That night, the Taoist priests kept provoking the corpse with words in order to make the corpse’s mind float, but it didn’t seem to be really angry until the prince said it was called Feng Abao. When Zi mentioned that it would never recognize his father and mother for the rest of his life, this evil creature was not only mad and angry, but also had two sharp and sharp white fangs drilled out of its mouth. If I remember correctly, even though Shizi shot it with a golden eagle before, It is neither painful nor itchy. After the fangs are exposed, the flesh on its body begins to stink, so I guess its key point is the pair of fangs. , when its murderous power is at its weakest.”
Jianxi was stunned for a moment, then got up and gave a deep bow: “The poor Taoist spoke in vain, and almost slandered the innocence of the prince and the two Taoist priests, knowing that he was rude and deeply I feel ashamed.”
Jian Tian and the others also apologized bitterly: “If you want the poor people to do what, the prince just needs to mention it.”
Teng Yuyi put the receipt in his sleeve and said with a smile, “No busy, this receipt. I’ll keep it for now, and I’ll come back to harass you, Venerable Masters, when I think of it one day.”
He seemed to have no intention of saying: “The fangs of the corpse evil are hidden so deep, will they be wiped out after they are pulled out? I don’t know if it is good to pull them out.”
Lin Chengyou looked at Teng Yuyi, and said coldly, “Why is there such a thing today, Young Master Wang? Interested in inquiring about these things?”
Teng Yuyi’s eyes turned slightly: “I have dealt with it a few times, and I have long hated it. Although I am powerless to deal with this monster, I also want to know what is the key to it.”
Lin Chengyou touched his chin, just as he was about to When she spoke, she only listened to Huan Pei Jingdang, and Caly Ji came with a group of prostitutes in robes and gold hairpins, and
she walked to the front of the hall and stood still. A lady with both beauty and art is here, whoever the prince likes, just tell the slave family.”
When everyone saw it, they all knew that eight people had come at once, all of them with towering clouds and amazing beauty.
Lin Chengyou glanced from left to right, and suddenly smiled: “I’m afraid one is not enough.”
Teng Yuyi almost spit out a sip of tea, and quickly put down the tea cup.
The eyes of the crowd flickered, and they were quite envious.
Jue Sheng and Qi Zhi looked embarrassed, and lowered their heads to stare at their toes.
Calyx Ji was stunned. Although Lin Chengyou had been to Caifeng Tower twice in the past, he had never asked his wife to accompany her. Is this enlightened today?
She hurriedly covered her lips with the white-horned fan in her hand, and said happily, “The prince is young and full of vigour, and it’s time for freshness. Whether one or eight, all rely on the prince.”
Teng Yuyi snorted, and Cheng Bo quietly approached and said. “Young Master, the pot of wine in the room is almost hot.”
Teng Yuyi knew that Uncle Cheng was taking her away from the place. He wanted to watch the excitement for a while, but he felt that it was not right, so he got up and said, “Let’s say goodbye first. “The
five gods don’t keep their homes, so they can’t care to say hello to Teng Yuyi, but Juesheng and Qizhi hurriedly followed Teng Yuyi: “Wang Gongzi, brother, let us follow you.”
Teng Yuyi smiled meaningfully, she was busy looking for fun, and of course she had to spare the two junior brothers.
“Haven’t you eaten yet? It happened that I didn’t eat either, so I asked them to bring lunch to the room.”
“Senior brother bought us something to eat.” Qizhi patted his chest, sure enough.
As they walked out, they heard Qi Ji cheerfully say: “There is a private room on the second floor, which has always been used to entertain guests. Otherwise, the prince will go upstairs with the slave’s house, and the slave’s family will bring wine and food together.”
“Second floor? No need, just find a big room in the backyard, one that can hold eight Dendrobium at the same time.”
Dendrobium? Eight more!
This time, let’s not talk about being sage and abandoning wisdom. Seeing Mei and the others are all blushing. At this moment, He Mingsheng brought two temple guests over. The dendrobium is all ready, the villain is sent to the back garden, I don’t know what to do.”
Lin Chengyou put down the tea cup, and the man said: “The bath is full of water, lead the person to the room where the bath is filled and wait. .”
There were two prostitutes who were more lively and couldn’t help but chuckle. He Mingsheng glared at them and was about to scold them, but Lin Chengyou took out a collar of gold from his arms and put it on the table.
The faces of the prostitutes suddenly turned spring. They are the most outstanding first-class prostitutes in Pingkangfang. They know silk, bamboo and calligraphy. They usually do not come out to see guests. The last one was gold, but who said it was rewarded by the Prince Cheng, and he took out the reward in advance, which shows that he was also very impatient.
Calyx Ji laughed in surprise: “The prince doesn’t have to rush to reward them, it’s not too late to reward them after you have served them.”
He Mingsheng smiled ambiguously: “Can’t you see? The prince doesn’t want to wait.”
Lin Chengyou threw the collar in his hand . Jin, got up and smiled: “Let’s go.”
Suddenly he remembered something, turned his head and said, “Wait a minute, how can I remember more than these people last time, you all know about the rest of the building?”
He Mingsheng tucked the sweat-wiping handkerchief back into his sleeve, and said with a flattering smile, “The prince has a good memory. There are indeed two people who were sick and resting in the room. The villain was afraid that his illness would hit the prince, so he didn’t let them come.”
Lin Chengyou Said: “What are the names of these two people, and when did they get sick?”
“One is Wei Zi and the other is Yao Huang. The prince called them back to recognize paintings, so he should still remember them. Wei Zi has been ill for several days, Yao Huang. Huang only complained of discomfort in the morning, and the villain has already asked the medical worker to take her pulse.” Lin Chengyou
asked, “Are they seriously ill?”
He and Yao Huang are inevitably a little lazy when they are frightened, just drink a few doses of medicine, and it will be fine for a few days.” ”
If it is not serious, then ask them to come out.”
No one in the middle was spared.
The author has something to say: I said once before that the title “Double Evil” has several meanings. In addition to the corpse evil and the golden-clothed son on the bright side, there is also an “evil” in the dark, so the plot of this volume is more complicated. I don’t want to scatter the plot during the deposit period. The following content is concentrated in ten big fat chapters, and the mystery will be revealed soon.
If you don’t want to watch Ada and Ayu’s interaction + cooperation to solve a case, but just want to see the plot of catching Caifenglou Yixie + Double Evil, you can directly read the last chapter of this volume.
