Attack Jade (攻玉) - Chapter 56

[Chapter 38 (1)]

Teng Yu expected that Lin Chengyou would not teach her swordsmanship. Hearing this, he was not surprised at all. He only said coldly, “Masters, if you continue to linger, it will be dark.” , Unless he wants to, no one else can instruct him. Teng Yuyi is not easy to mess with. Just playing tricks will definitely offend the two of them. Based on the temperament of these two people, it is not a good thing to offend anyone. Jianle and Jianxi waved their hands: “Teach, teach.”

Jianle and Jianxi hummed and drew their swords: “Your Highness, the third move is clear!” Jiantian

stayed where he was, hehe smiled at Lin Chengyou “Previously, the yamen said that even we had to be grounded, which shocked the poor, but luckily the prince had other arrangements.”

Lin Chengyou: “I said there were other arrangements, not that the seniors did not have to ground in the room, but another arrangement. I’ll give you a place to stay.”

Wu Dao suddenly exploded: “What do you mean, Shizi? Do you suspect that we are murderers? Don’t forget that we were temporarily arrested by you to catch demons!”

Lin Chengyou touched his ears , It’s so noisy, I always think Jue Sage and Abandoned Wisdom are noisy on weekdays. Compared with these old Taoists, Jue Sage and Abandoned Wisdom can be called a gourd.

He calmly said: “Can you let someone finish the conversation first? Everyone in the building last night was suspicious. The ban is not only to find out the clues as soon as possible, but also to protect the Taoist priests.

Five Dao was dubious: “Protect us? Lin Chengyou glanced at Teng Yuyi, who was not far away: ”

Isn’t Wang Gongzi’s analysis right now? Maybe the murderer will kill people in the building. If everyone in the building is not restricted, the murderer can move around freely in the building. If you don’t stop, no one knows who will be killed next. Wu Dao thought of

Yao Huang’s death, and couldn’t help shuddering: “We have no grievances with the murderer in the past and no enmity in recent days. There must be a reason for killing people. ”

Lin Chengyou stretched his voice: “It’s the two days of foot restraint, and tomorrow evening at the latest, I will send people from Caifenglou to Beitian Rehabilitation Center in Dayin Temple, and Yan Sizhi will specially lead people to take care of them. , then there are only a few of us in Caifeng Building, so we can naturally move around at will, and when the demons are collected here, I will make them move back.”

Juesheng and Qizhi were surprised: “Senior brother, why is this?”

See Tiandao: “I think Caifenglou will be in chaos soon. Once your brothers are busy catching monsters, they can’t be distracted and pay attention to the strange actions of the people in the building. The prostitutes should be sent out first.”

“Then why don’t you send Wang Gongzi and the others away? There are only three preys of Zhexie, but there are hundreds of people in Caifenglou, so just remove all three of them, we just need to go together to protect each other. It’s alright.”

Lin Chengyou raised his head to study the sky: “The Caifeng Tower has been deployed inside and outside, and even the eyes of the two monsters are ready-made. Last night, Juesheng and Qizhi have already cleaned it up, where can I go to find such a thing? A good place to catch monsters? Anyway, General Teng and the Du family are also taking refuge in Dayin Temple, so why not send the prostitutes from Caifenglou there, and the monks from Dayin Temple will take care of them together, so as to save us both from distraction.

” Would you let the prostitutes move in tomorrow evening? Would it be too urgent?”

“If it wasn’t for the fact that the accommodation for hundreds of people was not easy to find for a while, I wish they would move the place tonight.” Lin Chengyou pointed to the sky above his head, ” Seniors, look up at the sky.”

Wu Dao looked up, his face stiffened immediately, Teng Yuyi was curious, and also cast his gaze over, it should be daytime, but at this time there is a lonely star rising in the sky, haze It is thick and stretches for thousands of miles, with no end in sight. Although she did not understand astronomical phenomena, she also felt that the lone star appeared suddenly, and the dark clouds were surrounded by scorching gold borders, inch by inch toward the lone star.

Seeing Xian staring at the sky: “Look at that cloud, doesn’t it look like—”

Lin Chengyou: “That’s right, it’s Jiu San Yao.”

A flustered look flashed across Wudao’s faces: “Nine three lines? This line is a yang line but surrounded by shadows, which is a great omen (note). Oh, Lao Dao understands, where is the Lone Star? It’s clearly a demon, but it’s so good, where is the big demon?”

Lin Chengyou’s face became a little more solemn: “The reason why there was no incident inside and outside Chang’an a few days ago was because the two monsters were in retreat to recover from their injuries, and now they have left the customs. , the celestial phenomena are naturally different, and the two monsters have cultivated in these few days, the demonic energy can go straight to the Xiaohan, it can be seen that the master of the golden clothes has increased a lot.”

Seeing Xian trembled: “No, the corpse evil is immortal and immortal. That’s all, bird monsters don’t have the ability, the last time Young Master Jin Yi was shot by his senior brother’s Jin Ying, he was bleeding profusely, and it stands to reason that even if he saves his life, he will lose his power.”

Jian Xi was distracted and grabbed the handle . Beard: “It means that we didn’t guess wrong before, the two monsters are practicing some kind of secret technique together. The golden-clothed son can borrow the evil power of the corpse, and the corpse also relies on the golden-clothed boy, so after the golden-clothed boy is seriously injured, the demon power Instead of being weak, it has skyrocketed a lot.”

Lin Chengyou glanced left and right: “Seniors now understand? Now I don’t have time to let you drink and have fun. Previously, I was only useless as a gold-clothed son, and I dealt with it when I set up the formation. The corpse is the most important thing, and now it seems that the nine-day demon formation is far from enough, because this formation can overcome the evil but not the demon.”

When the people heard that, they had already left the teaching of Teng Yuyi’s swordsmanship out of the sky, and they were busy surrounding them. Lin Chengyou discussed a way out.

Teng Yuyi didn’t see that she could not learn, so she had to go back to the pavilion and wait patiently. She thought that Lin Chengyou was already winning, but she didn’t know there was a change. She poured herself a glass of wine and waited for the result of the five quarrels, but the more she went. Listen, the heart is more confused. As long as she thinks that the corpse sees her as its prey, she can’t stay out of it.

Wudao has always been unreliable, is it Lin Chengyou? Teng Yuyi admitted that his ability to catch demons is top-notch, but this time he didn’t know why he didn’t speak up. It was her Teng Yuyi.

She silently observed the crowd through the top of the cup rim. Although her mouth was not open, her eyes were shining brightly. At the end, she blinked her long eyelashes, put down the wine cup and said, “I understand now, the current formation can only be Trapped the corpse evil, but couldn’t prevent the golden-clothed son’s pair of flying wings. If so, why not divide it and rule it?”

All the Taoists turned their eyes to each other: “Divided and ruled?”

Teng Yuyi said in a serious tone: “Although the two monsters are in one quarrel, they are harmful to people. The nature does not change, and when they encounter what they want, the two monsters will inevitably be distracted. For example, the corpse evil is bent on gouging out the prey’s heart, and the golden boy is said to have his own hobbies when he hurts people. In this case, why not enter Caifeng with them When you are in the building, use the prey to lead them away first, if you can get rid of one monster first, the other monster will be much easier to deal with.”

Jian Tian thought and nodded: “Although the words are correct, there is a drawback to doing this. , is to divide the manpower into two groups, one to trap the corpse evil, and the other to besiege the golden-clothed son. But once divided into several groups, the Dao strength will be correspondingly insufficient, let alone defeating the two monsters separately, we will only It will die faster.”

Jue Sheng Qizhi hurriedly asked, “Senior brother, can you recruit some more people from other Taoist temples?”

Lin Chengyou said, “I can’t. The monks of the Yin Temple have been patrolling the streets day and night recently, but they only care about the inside of the city, but not outside the city. If more people are dispatched, the city will be even more overwhelmed.”

It seems that this method will not work . Now, Teng Yuyi said again: “I haven’t finished my words yet. If you want to divide and conquer, you don’t necessarily have to divide it into two groups. You forgot that although the corpse evil has boundless evil power, it also has a fatal weakness. Just use this Weakness traps the corpse first, can I free up my hands to concentrate on dealing with the young master in golden clothes?”

Lin Chengyou then raised his eyes to Teng Yuyi.

He smiled and asked, “According to the prince’s opinion, how to trap the corpse evil?”

Teng Yuyi said: “Several Venerable Masters said last time that the corpse evil likes to destroy people and their souls together, and it often makes the prey feel unbearable when it gouges out its heart. When it confuses Juanerli, it pretends to be Juanerli’s deceased father. When dealing with me, it pretended to be my mother again… Now there are three prey, and when it breaks into the Caifeng Tower, it can’t even predict which one it will encounter first, but it will not give up this kind of It’s a torture trick, what do you think it will do?”

Qizhi was stunned: “It will temporarily change its appearance?”

Teng Yuyi slowly shook his head: “Last time, it went to the house to steal my mother’s clothes in order to harm me, you can see that It can’t change its appearance, it only disturbs the mind of the prey. Sometimes, in order to make the prey feel at home, it even needs to make some changes in the clothes. Maybe because of this, it stole several clothes from my mother. Seeing

the joy, his face brightened: “Young Master Wang, I understand what you mean. If the corpse evil is not prepared enough, it will not be able to use the illusion to torture the prey to the point of being distracted, and this is exactly what it can’t bear. So this time it In order to be realistic, I may also bring these stolen clothes.”

Teng Yuyi snorted: “I guess it will be dressed up in order to be able to get a hit, as for who it will kill first, from the corpse. You can tell by what the evil looks like when she shows up. If you dress up as a barbarian, you will most likely kill Juanerli first, and if you dress up as my mother, she will come after me—”

Lin Chengyou listened very seriously, but Teng Yuyi usually doesn’t see him. Had to be willing to come up with ideas enthusiastically, today changed the normal, is it because he was afraid that he would not be able to deal with the two monsters. Oh, is there a monster in this world that he can’t conquer?

Jianxi rubbed his hands excitedly: “Young Master Wang is right, it’s easy to know who it is the first to kill, we have a ‘great blessing’, just let that person wait in the array in advance and put the corpse It is not difficult to introduce the evil into it, and once the corpse evil is trapped, you can concentrate on dealing with the golden-clothed son, and then the battle will be resolved quickly, without giving the two monsters a chance to join forces.”

Qizhi scratched his head: “But this is not right . , how fast the corpse evil moves, even if you can see its dress clearly, you can’t deliver the news in time, and if you take a step later, you won’t be able to bring the first prey to the evil spirits and wait for the corpse evil to take the bait.”

Lin Chengyou took out a few arrow-like objects from his bosom: “The two arrows have different sounds. If there is only one sound, it means that the corpse is wearing the clothes of the barbarians. Don’t delay, bring the curling pear to the yoke immediately. Go to the center of the Xie Dazhu array. If it rings twice, it means Zhexie is wearing Mrs. Teng’s clothes that she stole from the Teng Mansion last time, so you should lead Madam Teng to the Xiexie Dazhu. Just bring Zhexie in. Go, this formation is enough for you to delay for a while, and I will deal with the young master in golden clothes.”

Zhongdao snatched the firecrackers: “Oh, so the prince has a plan for a long time, why didn’t you say it earlier?”

Lin Chengyou said nothing . Ashamed: “Something went wrong last night, and the original plan also changed. Let’s not mention this, there are more than ten golden nets buried inside and outside the wall. In order not to suffer from pain, Xie will definitely avoid the place where the golden net is buried, the only place inside and outside Caifeng Tower where the golden net is not buried is under this tree—”

Lin Chengyou pointed forward, Teng Yuyi followed and looked over, It was the locust tree where Lin Chengyou lay when she practiced the exercises last night. It seems that he sneaked the cat in the tree last night, not just to follow Ge Jin.

Lin Chengyou walked under the tree and looked up, the pale golden spring light fell from the leaves, casting a soft glow on his face: “The corpse evil will definitely break into the Caifeng Tower from here, I will advance in advance. Waiting on the tree, as soon as the evil corpse shows up, the arrow will be released immediately.”

Qizhi has always been careful, seeing that there are only two firecrackers, he couldn’t help saying: “Senior brother, did you miss a firecracker? Lady Gejin, it sounded three times. Is it?” The

stinky boy has grown a bit, and he knows that one is missing. Lin Chengyou touched Qizhi’s head to express his encouragement, and then took out a firecracker from his arms and said to Wudao: “This is what I said about the change. Originally, the three voices were referring to Gejin, but now it can’t work anymore. , if you hear three beeps, don’t move Ge Jin, and bring Juan Erli and Lady Teng together to the Great Blessing of Evil.”

Jue Sheng wondered, “Why is this?”

Lin Chengyou knocked on the head of Jue Sheng: “Think about it, no matter what Ge Jin’s previous demon was, after this incident last night, it was already replaced by the two sisters Yao Huang and Qingzhi who disfigured her. , Zie Xie hasn’t seen Ge Jin for a long time, and he didn’t know this when he came here, but with its ability to spy on people’s hearts, as soon as you meet Ge Jin, you will know that the original illusion will not work, unless it temporarily pretends to be The Yao Huang or Qingzhi that Ge Jin hates the most, but it is easy to miss if you are not well prepared, and it is far easier to change the target directly.”

Seeing Tian frowned: “Then it will attack Mrs. Teng instead, or go to Juanerli. ”

I can’t guess that, just bring the two of them into the formation together.”

Wudao was stunned: “Two together? Zhexie knew we were setting up a plan at first glance, and would not go to the formation at all. I’m gone.”

Lin Chengyou answered very firmly: “No, Ziexie will definitely be fooled.”

Jue Sheng and Qizhi were full of surprises: “Why?

” It likes to play with people’s hearts and control everything. It didn’t expect Ge Jin’s change this time, and it will be very annoyed. As long as it is really angry, it will be difficult to concentrate on using evil power.”

“I understand.” Jianxi turned his head to look at the brothers beside him, “It can’t spy on people’s hearts when the evil power is low, when the time comes, Lady Teng and Juan’erli pretend to be panic and run into the battle, the corpse evil can’t see the real or fake. If we can be fooled, we start the formation while its evil power has not recovered, are we afraid that it will escape?”

The frustration on everyone’s face was swept away: “This is considered to be a cure for its own way.

” , Wu Dao was completely convinced by this arrogant young man in front of him, and unconsciously formed a tight circle with Lin Chengyou as the center.

Teng Yuyi pouted secretly, Lin Chengyou didn’t bother to say a word before, why did he suddenly stop talking?

But she had to admit that after listening to this arrangement, she felt a lot more at ease. Although Lin Chengyou always had a face of “I’m number one in the world”, an inadvertent moment would make people feel that he could lift the sky The illusion of a sea.

Seeing the sky was happy for a while, and then suddenly said: “Sir, after talking for a long time, I only talked about how to draw the corpse away from the golden-clothed prince, so what about the golden-clothed prince?”

Lin Chengyou smiled when he heard the words: “It? Don’t worry too much, you just need to roast this bird.”

“Roasted?!”

“A bird monster is metal, and fire is better than gold. Its wings are not afraid of anything else, but the most afraid of fire.

Seeing the sky, I suddenly realized: “Prince, is this going to burn the golden-clothed son with a nine-day ignition ring? ”

Jianxi and the others looked at each other in dismay. The nine-day fire ring is not a formation, but a samadhi to invite the God of Fire to invite the true fire talisman of Samadhi. When setting up the altar, it requires the cooperation of Taoist priests with profound mana. One hour is enough, bad luck, let’s say seven or eight hours.

No wonder Lin Chengyou said that he would be banned in another place. He originally meant the garden. The two people who set up the altar must stay here all the time.

Wu Dao was stunned for a while, and suddenly remembered the matter of teaching Teng Yuyi swordsmanship. He removed two of them at once. Wouldn’t the remaining three be exhausted? ”

Young Master Wang, that, look…”

Teng Yuyi turned his finger . Counted: “After two left, there are only three masters left to teach me swordsmanship, sigh, this is even more difficult, I only learned two moves, and there are still thirty-four moves left to learn, I drank the fire jade spirit Gentang was not afraid of fatigue, but he was afraid that the three Taoist priests would not be able to endure it. Speaking of

this, Wu Dao couldn’t hold back a word, because the heat and shame were in his throat, and they blocked their texts.

They were all good in martial arts, but Teng Yuyi didn’t learn kung fu for a day. , they can take turns to rest, but Teng Yuyi needs to learn from the beginning to the end alone. Even Teng Yuyi is not tired, but they quit because they are too tired. Do they admit that they are incompetent, or admit that they go back on their word?

Seeing that Tian was the senior brother among the five, he took the lead in showing his face: “What are you talking about, Young Master Wang? Isn’t it just a set of brown sword techniques, let’s watch, don’t say three people are here to teach you, even if only Even one person can teach you.”

Teng Yuyi smiled and nodded, that’s about the same.

She glanced at Lin Chengyou and found that he was looking at her with a smirk. She looked back at Lin Chengyou inquiringly for a while, making sure that he didn’t want to intervene before relaxing.

“See the joy, see the joy, you go to set up the ceremony.” Seeing the sky draws the sword out of the scabbard, “Wang Gongzi, there is no time to teach the rest of the tricks slowly, you need to learn it once, the old way first two tricks, Wang Gongzi watch carefully Hey!”

Teng Yuyi answered in a loud voice, but just after learning half a trick, two yamen came over, didn’t speak after they came, just stood far away.

Cheng Bo walked up to chat with a smile, and returned after a while: “It was said that he was ordered by the prince to protect the people in the garden.”

Seeing the joy, he said, “You see? Did you see it? Lin Chengyou, this stinky boy, said he wanted to protect We still have doubts in our hearts, it’s making us look like murderers!”

Jian Tian waved his hand: “Actually, I can’t blame him, and I’m also suspicious. The day Qingzhi’s body was found, there were clearly some surrounding areas around the well. It’s not right, if Qingzhi was killed by someone’s sorcery, who knows how to do it besides us in this building?”

***

Lin Chengyou didn’t go back to the front building directly, but went to Yiyuxuan and Hong first. Xiangyuan turned around, seeing that the prostitutes and fake mothers in the two places were closing their doors, and there were also two yamen guards in the corridor, so they went straight to Qingzhi’s room.

Qingzhi lived in a row of inconspicuous ear rooms on the west side of Yiyuxuan. There were four maids in one room. After Qingzhi’s accident, the other three moved elsewhere.

Lin Chengyou asked Juesheng and Qizhi to wait outside the door, and entered the room by himself. In fact, he had come to search for several rounds before, and now he can tell the furnishings in the room with his eyes closed.

Apart from the four Hu beds, there are no other decent furnishings in the room. Qingzhi’s bed was on the farthest south side, and the bed was separated by a thick gray cloth curtain. Because there was no window, the corner was a little dark.

Lin Chengyou squatted down and groped under the bed board. After fumbling for a while, he lit the fire switch and looked at the bed board by the firelight.

Jue Sheng looked curiously outside: “Senior brother, the last time you suddenly used Dendrobium to test the actors in the building because you saw that Qingzhi was killed by sorcery? What did the puppet do?”

Lin Chengyou’s gaze moved under the bed, “I thought so, but the actors in the building have tried it all over, and no one has any sign of being afflicted by evil. Second, it can be seen from Yao Huang’s death. , Qingzhi was deliberately killed by someone. This matter has nothing to do with the corpse evil, the murderer is clearly a living person who understands sorcery.”

Jue Sheng and Qi Zhi had chills on their backs.

Jue Sheng said with a white face, “Chizhi and I are willing to believe that the corpse evil manipulated the puppet to do it, and we do not want to believe that the murderer is someone from the Caifeng Building. Brother, we have lived here for some time now. The prostitutes and the temple guests are all friendly, just from the way they get along on weekdays, it is really impossible to connect them with the murderers.”

Lin Chengyou snorted: “Will the bad guys write on their faces? There are still few people with good hearts and evil intentions? Kindness and kindness are used in the wrong place, beware of mistaking others and yourself. Last night, I asked you to clean up the eyes of the array, but what did you find?”

Qizhi sighed: “Every corner is full of Sweeping through, the array eye should have been carefully selected by the ancestor of Dongmingguan a hundred years ago, and even two niches have been dug underneath. Unfortunately, the only one of the Nile Building was also destroyed by the golden-clothed son last time. Now there are no traces in the eyes of the formation, and I don’t know how Daoist Dongyangzi finally got the two monsters into the eyes of the formation.”

Lin Chengyou said: “I know all this, I let you clean the eyes of the formation carefully, not only Under the ground, the statue of the Lotus Pure Child and the surrounding beams and pillars can’t fall, and after sweeping it all night, I can’t find anything else?”

Jue Sheng and Qi Zhi hurriedly said: “I was about to tell my brother, first, The vicinity of the statue and the incense table is unusually clean, and it should be often cleaned by someone—”

Lin Chengyou’s heart moved: “How clean is it?”

“There is not even a layer of ash.”

Lin Chengyou hesitated for a while. Judging from the pools in the garden, the servants in charge of cleaning were not diligent, otherwise the water would not be full. Remnants of fallen leaves. The outside is so perfunctory, and the secluded small Buddhist hall is not cleaned frequently,

but Caifeng Building often has sneaky things, and people in the building spontaneously go to clean it out of awe of the gods, which makes sense.

“In addition, we also found a mark on a floor tile under the incense table. This mark is very shallow and is hidden behind the incense table. Not to mention brothers and sisters, you can’t find it on weekdays. Even if we lie on the ground, we can’t see it. When I came out of my eyes, I accidentally arched a corner of the felt blanket, maybe I missed it.”

“What kind of mark?”

Jue Sheng took out a piece of talisman paper from his arms: “The size of a pea, the shape can’t be said, it’s a bit like Xingmang is a bit like the beaded flowers that women wear.”

Lin Chengyou took it in his hand and looked at it, suddenly stood up.

Jue Sheng and Qi Zhi looked at each other in surprise.

Lin Chengyou looked strange: “No wonder you don’t know it, it’s called the Seven Lights Guiding Road Seal, it’s a very partial spiritualism, it detains people’s souls, in addition to asking about the ghosts, there are often abuses. Destroying Yin virtue has always been despised by the righteous celebrities.”

Qizhi was shocked: “Everyone is dead, even if there is a huge hatred, it should be eliminated, why still torture ghosts?”

Jue Sheng “ah” One voice: “I heard that this building has always been haunted since the death of the Tian couple from Caibohang. No, it has not been peaceful since Tian Yunde’s concubine was forced to death by Qi. That person knew that the building was sneaky. Aren’t you afraid of attracting a Specter? The Specter has been abused so ruthlessly that it’s very easy to backfire on the caster.”

“Dare to use such a sorcery, of course you’re sure that you won’t go wrong.” Lin Chengyou sneered twice, ” You found it under the blanket?” The

two nodded.

“It is estimated that it was accidentally burnt out during the practice, and there was no time to replace the floor tiles. Unfortunately, Taoist priest Dongmingguan and I were living in the small Buddha hall, and that person would not dare to act rashly.” Lin Chengyou sneered twice.

It’s getting more and more interesting. It turns out that people in Caifenglou were making waves long before the two murders.

Jue Sheng suddenly had a thought: “Senior brother, Qingzhi was also killed by sorcery. Could she be killed because she discovered something?”

Lin Chengyou didn’t answer, he bury his head and looked under the bed carefully, but found nothing. I had to clap the ash on my hands and get up.

After coming out, he still did not go to the front building, but turned to Hongxiang Garden. In front of Yao Huang’s gate, there was a yamen guarding the door, Lin Chengyou nodded at the man, bypassing the yamen and entering the room.

Yao Huang’s room has the same layout as Ge Jin’s room, but the furnishings are slightly different. There is a six-curved landscape screen in front of the couch, and on the lower table is a flat-topped eight buckets of gold and silver-plated bottles. Not much.

There used to be a makeup box in front of the mirror, but it was taken to Dali Temple this morning.

The box, the bookshelf, the foot of the bed… all the hidden compartments that can hide things have been turned over, and I didn’t expect to find new tricks, but what Lin Chengyou looked at was not what was on the bright side, but the traces in the dark.

Any use of sorcery in the room will inevitably leave something, or nail marks, or branding, or nicks made by daggers. It is strange that Yao Huang and Qingzhi’s rooms are clean. Yao Huang is okay to say, after all, she was poisoned by rotten heart grass and died, but Qingzhi began to have nightmares seven or eight days before her death. If someone used magic to deal with her, where would they do it.

Lin Chengyou turned around in his heart, turned his head to look at the moon hole window beside Hu’s bed, saw the sparkling light outside the window, and his heart suddenly moved.

Opposite is Yiyuxuan where Ge Jin and others live, and between the two rows of houses is a green pond.

The sun began to move westward, and the orange light fell on the water, reflecting thousands of tiny shimmers of light. The surrounding light was astonishingly dazzling, and the brilliance was like a huge golden mirror, not to mention the knife marks, even the thickness of the dust. see you.

Lin Chengyou’s eyes moved upstream along the grid, and there was nothing unusual inside or outside the window. He clinged to the edge of the window with both arms, leaned out half of his body to look up, touched the top of the window drawer, and found not even a single strand of hair. .

Lin Chengyou had no choice but to retract his body, his arm accidentally touched the edge of the window on the right, making a very slight “click” sound. , as if the vermilion paint had faded and was repainted.

He leaned over to take a closer look, the place seemed to be integrated with the edge of the window, but the color changed slightly. If it was night or cloudy, he might not be able to detect it. It was no wonder that several groups of people searched last night and this morning did not find anything wrong with this place. .

The corner of Lin Chengyou’s mouth revealed a bit of ridicule: “It’s hidden deep enough.” When he touched it with his hand, the wooden board could be pushed up and down. He took off the dagger on the jade belt and pried it. With a click, the wooden board fell on the windowsill.

There is a small dark niche hidden behind it. In the dark niche, there is a small colored basket. The surface is covered with wooden boards, and no one can find any clues.

Lin Chengyou took out the colored basket and saw a few pieces of gold and some jewels and jade toys inside.

I heard that the prostitutes in Pingkangfang are quite controlled, and no matter what rewards they get on weekdays, they must be handed over to the masters like false mother and He Mingsheng. When making plans in the future, you must do something that goes against the grain.

It can be seen from this hidden niche that Yao Huang has known for the past few years that he has a lot of experience in the area of private storage.

The toys in the colorful baskets are much more rare than those in the room, such as jade ruyi, coral strings, moon-beaded cups, and even numb love poems… everything.

Among the piles of jeweled objects, there is only one small brown object that is extremely inconspicuous.

Looking at the dazzling sunlight from the window, it is a walnut ornament, the size of which is only the size of a fist. From the back, it is an ordinary walnut shell. When turned over, it is different. The walnut shell has been cut in half, and there is a boat inside. The sides of the ship, window rails, and masts are all available, the sashes can be pushed open, and the long scull can be shaken, like a real ship shrunk.

On the shaft of the boat sat two young girls, one was slightly larger and the other was slightly smaller. The two wore identical clothes and leaned close together. Judging from their appearance and demeanor, they were like a pair of sisters.

Lin Chengyou stared at the villain’s demeanor. Although he couldn’t see his appearance clearly, his intimacy was alive and well.

It seems that not only Qingzhi misses her sister, Yao Huang also misses her own sister, and she doesn’t know where she got the half walnut.

Lin Chengyou looked upside down and found a line of characters engraved at the bottom of the walnut.

I saw the words on it: Yuezhou, Ding Younian, Taozhi Ferry.

Lin Chengyou was startled, Yuezhou is the hometown of Yao Huang and Qingzhi, is this Taozhi Ferry also in Yuezhou?

While thinking about it, there was a yamen outside looking for it in a hurry: “Lin Pingshi, Yan Sizhi is back, saying that he has something to look for and asking where you are.”

“Got it.” Lin Chengyou put the walnut in his sleeve and walked out. Room.

When I got to the lobby, I saw that Yan Sizhi was drinking tea with great gulps. This person is usually polite and decent, and when he rarely drinks cows, he seems to be very tired in the afternoon.

“Yan Sizhi.”

Yan Wangchun put down the tea cup and took a breath: “Sir, you are right, the proper lady in the palace is indeed a goddess.”

Lin Chengyou coughed, signaling Yan Sizhi to keep quiet, and then said loudly “Let’s talk outside.”

Yan Wangchun calmed down, got up and followed Lin Chengyou outside the court, found a quieter corner, and spoke again: “Tuoniang saw the murderer’s sachet and said it was Zhiniang from Yuezhou. Craftsmanship.”

Lin Chengyou smiled.

It’s Yuezhou again.

Is the murderer also related to Yuezhou?

“Can Tuo Niang recognize which embroidery workshop in Yuezhou is from?”

Yan Wangchun: “Tuo Niang said that Yuezhou produces mulberries, and there are many embroidered girls with excellent needles, but the embroidery method on the sachet is called Liuyun Gun Embroidery method, and the petals and leaves embroidered by this method are like flowing water waves. , the needle method can be said to be unique. However, this is not a unique skill. There are hundreds of embroiderers who are good at this method in

Yuezhou . With this sachet alone, Tuo Niang can’t tell which embroidery workshop is from.” Which embroidery workshops are there, this mother should know.”

Yan Wangchun took out a roll of paper from his sleeve: “I wrote it down, there are no less than twenty embroidery workshops in Yuezhou, large and small, and there are three most famous ones. One is called Xiaoshan Cui Embroidery Workshop, the second is Peach Branch Embroidery Workshop, and the third one is Lingberry Embroidery Workshop—”

Lin Chengyou was taken aback: “Wait, what is the second one called?”

“Peach Branch Embroidery Workshop.”

Lin Chengyou quickly He took out the piece of paper in Yan Sizhi’s hand, compared it with the “Peach Branch Ferry” on the walnut, and raised his eyes suddenly: “Do you know where this second embroidery workshop is located in Yuezhou?”

Yan Wangchun was stunned: ” Well Mother didn’t tell me about it, and I forgot to ask just now.”

“This is what I found in Yao Huang’s room just now, look at this line of words.”

Yan Wangchun took the walnut and squinted, and sighed in surprise. .

“It’s too coincidental – both of them are Yuezhou, and both have the word ‘peach branch’.”

Lin Chengyou said coldly: “What coincidence? How can there be such a coincidence in the world. One is the murderer’s sachet, and the other is seven. The objects from years ago, but the two sisters died in the hands of another person.”

Yan Wangchun’s brows tightened: “Could the murderer have known the sisters seven years ago? The murderer risked his life to hide this incense last night. Sang, are you afraid that we will find out that he/she is related to Yuezhou? No, Yao Huang was ten years old seven years ago, so he should have some impression of the murderer. My sister died suddenly, Yao Huang should have thought of something.”

Lin Chengyou is meaningful . Said : “What’s going on, you can find out by looking up.” As

he said that, he went to the hall.

Yan Sizhi was startled, and hurriedly pulled up his robe to keep up.

Lin Chengyou went to the hall and said to the yamen, “Tell He Mingsheng to immediately bring everyone’s deeds of prostitution in the building. There are also fake mothers and other temple visitors. Let them come over and I have something to ask.” The

yamen hurriedly responded . Now, this little prince always looks like he doesn’t care when the sky is falling. It’s rare for him to be serious.

Not long after, He Mingsheng and others came one after another.

He Mingsheng was also ordered to be grounded, so he had to do everything by himself. In the past, he used to call and embrace wherever he went, but now he is holding the dragon sandalwood box himself. , with sweat all over his head.

Calyx, Voji, and the others probably just got up from the bed, tidying up their clothes as they walked.

These people did not dare to speak when they entered the hall, and their eyes peeped at Lin Chengyou anxiously.

Lin Chengyou sat down behind the table and looked at He Mingsheng first, He Mingsheng twitched his lips, smiled and offered the box: “Everyone’s deeds and deeds are here, there are a total of 107 people, and Please take a look at the prince.”

Lin Chengyou smiled and nodded: “Okay, Yan Sizhi and I will take a look and return it to Boss He.” He

Mingsheng dared to provoke Lin Chengyou: “Look at the prince, something like this happened in Caifeng Tower, He Mou I also hope that the prince and Yan Sizhi will find the murderer as soon as possible.”

Lin Chengyou took over the conversation logically: “Then ask Boss He to help us arrange a wing room on the second floor, Yan Sizhi and I want to inquire about a few things, just- -”

He casually pointed to Wo Ji in the crowd: “Let’s start with Aunt Wo, the rest of the people will wait in the hall for a while, and after asking Aunt Wo, it will be your turn.”

“There are private rooms on the second floor.” He Mingsheng turned his head and waved at Wo Ji, “Wo Ji, take your son and Yan Sizhi upstairs.”

Yan Wangchun ordered the two yamen to stay and watch over everyone, and went upstairs with Lin Chengyou.

Walkie led the two to the front of a room, and after entering, they stood beside them.

Lin Chengyou and Yan Sizhi put Wo Ji aside, looking for everyone’s betrayal deeds on their own, Wo Ji waited for a while and became more anxious, swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said, “The slave family is risking death to ask, I don’t know if the prince wants to inquire with the slave family. What.”

Lin Chengyou was indifferent, and quickly turned over the last contract of prostitution, and then averted his eyes from the table. Except for Yao Huang and Qingzhi, no one is from Yuezhou, but this is not surprising. Qingzhi’s deed of sale also reads “Xingyang people”, I think it was made up when Ren Yazi brought Qingzhi to Chang’an to sell .

Qingzhi’s body deed can be faked, and other people’s can also be faked.

“When you bought Qingzhi,
