Attack Jade (攻玉) - Chapter 57

[Chapter 38 (2)]

Didn’t you realize that her body deed was fake? ”

Woji looked unlucky: “Speaking of this, it’s fire. Nujia bought five children in one go, Qingzhi is the most inconspicuous one, and there has been no trouble in these years, how can I expect someone to make money Dare to fake it.

Lin Chengyou sneered: “The accents of Xingyang and Yuezhou are very different, the body deed can be faked, but the accent can’t be faked, so you can’t tell that Qingzhi is not a Xingyang accent ? ”

Woji sighed: “I bought a lot of children at that time, how could the slave family pay attention to these?” If it weren’t for such a thing, the slave family wouldn’t even notice who Qingzhi was. The children learn quickly, and a large group of people stay in one place, forgetting their native dialect within a few days. Lin Chengyou: ”

Have you been living in Pingkangfang since you bought Qingzhi?” Where did you make a living before Caifenglou opened? ”

Woji laughed dryly: “The slave family rented a house in the fangli, and planned to raise a few children to attract customers, but it didn’t take long for Nanqu to open several famous brothels, and the ladies in them all Both the beauty and the art, the sons and grandsons of Chang’an City were all hooked up by them, and they didn’t even notice the small workshop in the corner.

“The slave family has no business to do. I heard that Nanqu is going to open the largest Caifeng Building in Chang’an, so I brought the children to defect. When I came, I negotiated with Boss He. He provided accommodation and meals, and the children returned home. He cares, in the future these children will have a good future, no matter how much they earn, the slave family will only take 10%. Moreover, when the slave family was young, they were very good at performing arts, and they were more than enough to help train actors. Boss He originally refused to agree, but at that time Caifenglou was down. Zizhao couldn’t come to teach Xi Leji so much, so he saw that the Nu family volunteered to help teach music, so he agreed. By the way, the same is true for Caly Ji and the others.”

Lin Chengyou closed the lid of the box: “Caifenglou has been opened for more than half a year. You stay in the building day and night, but have you heard of who is from Yuezhou?”

“Yuezhou?” Vojiser flinched, “Isn’t that Yao Huang?”

“There’s no one else except her?”

Voji replied Pretty sure: “No.”

Lin Chengyou snorted: “The murderer is in the building, if you know something but don’t say it, the next unlucky person might be you.”

Wo Ji’s voice trembled: “Nujia think about it, think about it.”

She twisted her hands together nervously, her knuckles turning white, and finally shook her head helplessly: “The slave family has been dealing with everyone for a long time, I have never heard of anyone from Yuezhou, but Yao Huang mentions Yuezhou from time to time. State, but I haven’t seen anyone take over.” Lin Chengyou and Yan Si looked at each other directly, and simply asked another way: “Qingzhi often goes out for walks on weekdays, have you heard what fellow villagers

she met outside recently?”

Startled: “This…Qingzhi only buys food every time I go out, and I have never heard of meeting fellow villagers–”

Speaking of which, Wo Ji’s face suddenly appeared strange, and looked at Lin Chengyou and said, “No, no, no, when it comes to fellow villagers. , Qingzhi didn’t know what happened that day, and suddenly said that he and the former owner’s concubine were from the same hometown. The slave family also mentioned this to the prince before, the prince should still remember-”

Lin Chengyou was silent, of course he remembered, if he hadn’t caught this At one point, he couldn’t find out that Qingzhi was actually from Yuezhou. If he didn’t follow this clue, he might not be able to find out the true relationship between Qingzhi and Yao Huang.

But the concubine Rong had been dead for more than a year –

not only the concubine but also the Tian couple died one after another.

He just wants to know who else is from Yuezhou in the building, why is Caibohang involved again? The three people who died a year ago have nothing to do with the murders a year later.

Lin Chengyou pressed his doubts patiently: “Okay, then I’ll ask again, how did Qingzhi tell you at that time?”

Wo Ji said: “It wasn’t she who said it herself, the slave family learned about it when someone complained about Qingzhi, saying Qingzhi always speaks crazy things, and she openly says that she and that dead concubine are fellow countrymen, and it is not too taboo.”

Lin Chengyou smiled: “But now it is proved that what Qingzhi said is not crazy, she is indeed from Yuezhou. Qingzhi has met Rong before. Why does she know that she and the Rong family are from the same town?”

Walkie looked a little uneasy, as if thinking about something.

Lin Chengyou and Yan Si looked directly at each other, and the doubts in his heart became bigger and bigger.

Lin Chengyou said: “Caibohang has a long-standing reputation here. You have lived in Pingkangfang for all these years. Even if you haven’t bought anything in the store, you should have heard of the name of Caibohang. Think about it, Qingzhi. Has the Rong family been mentioned before?”

Wo Ji said anxiously: “This child has never mentioned the Rong family, but I think she should have seen it.”

Yan Sizhi was shocked, thinking that Qingzhi’s words were for grandstanding, but it turned out that she really I have seen Jung.

He hurriedly asked: “When did you meet? Where did you meet?”

Wo Ji put her hand on her forehead: “When Caibohang was still there, slaves often visited, Caibohang was a big business and hired a lot of people. , but the Tian and his wife are used to being stingy, and they like to do everything by themselves. Boss Tian is handsome and speaks beautifully. But Qi’s eyes are like hiding sharp knives, just by looking at you, you can know how much you weigh A few taels, at that time, the Nujia was very tight, and when Mrs. Qi saw that the Nujia asked to buy more and buy less, her face was light. ”

One time when Qi’s family was ill, Rong’s family came out to receive the female relatives on her behalf. I remember that it was not long after Mr. Rong married Boss Tian. He was beautiful in appearance and kind. There were so many people going to the store that day. Boss Tian was very happy. He smashed things from the back, it sounded like he was scolding Rong, every sentence was ugly, and Boss Tian didn’t dare to defend Rong, so he whispered a few words of comfort to her, and urged her to go in and serve Qi–”

Walkie said and paused. : “After I came back, my children also said that Boss Tian’s family is rich, why is he so afraid of his wife? Among the children who spoke was Qingzhi, and the Nujia guessed that she knew that the Rong family was from Yuezhou at that time. Later, the Nujia met Rong’s family several times on the street, but she was a lot of haggard. I heard that Qi’s often beat and scolded her, and Boss Tian was not in Chang’an. Not long after that, Rong jumped into a well and died. ”

Lin Chengyou pondered for a moment: “Qingzhi can definitely hear the Rong family’s Yuezhou accent. Did Qingzhi mention the Rong family to you after that? For example, I met the Rong family somewhere, or said something to the Rong family. ”

Woji thought about it seriously: “I didn’t mention it. After Rong Shi died, there were all kinds of rumors in Fanglu. Everyone said that she was killed by Qi Shi, and that Caibo Xing was haunted. .These street talk and talk have been passed on to my small workshop, and I haven’t seen anything special about Qingzhi.” After

***

Woji left, Lin Chengyou looked at the table in a trance.

Caifenglou seems to have nothing to do with Caibohang, but whenever new clues are found, Caibohang is like a rugged island in the thick fog, and at some inadvertent moment, a corner suddenly appears.

It turned out that Qingzhi had met Rong more than a year ago.

And Rong is from Yuezhou.

Coincidentally, the murderer’s sachet also came from the embroidery workshop in Yuezhou.

Could it be that there is really any connection between Caifenglou and Caibohang?

Does the murderer know Rong?

Does he/she kill Sister Yao Huang, will it have something to do with the Rong family?

Lin Chengyou looked at the sachet in his hand, then took out the walnut, put the two in front of him, and rubbed thoughtfully.

“Yan Sizhi, Lin Pingshi.” The yamen stuck his head in, “Qi Ji is here.”

After entering the house, Qia Ji bowed her head and bowed her head, looking up to see that Lin Chengyou’s face was still warm, she dared to ask: “Sir, the slave family. I heard from the host that tomorrow we have to move to the Mercy Rehabilitation Center in Dayin Temple, can this be serious?”

“What do you want to say about Mrs. Calyx?”

Calyx Ji clutched her veil and laughed: “The arrangement of the prince must be comprehensive. Extremely, the slave family just wants to ask the prince about how many days they will stay, if they only stay for one or two days, that’s all, if they stay for a long time, the slave family has to tell the children to bring more clothes.”

Lin Chengyou said calmly: “Aunt Calyx loves to inquire about everything, she should know a lot of people in the building, do you remember who came from Yuezhou?”

Calyx Ji blinked: “The slave family only knows about Yao Huang It’s from Yuezhou, so others won’t know.”

Lin Chengyou snorted: “Aunt Calyx has a very good memory, it’s best to think about it again.

” Calyx Ji’s eyes were flustered for a moment, and she smiled dryly: “Forgive the stupid family, please ask the prince to speak clearly.”

Lin Chengyou calmly looked at Calyx, who is also a fake mother, Calyx is a few years younger than Woji, and she is more clever and smooth. , I heard that He Ming paid great attention to Calyx Ji in his life, and even some of the daily chores in Caifenglou would be taken care of by Calyx. Calyx Ji must know a lot about the people and things in the building.

“There are four false mothers in Caifeng Tower.” He said, “Each false mother is only responsible for the discipline of her own ‘daughter’. You are not the false mother of Wei Zi and Yao Huang, and logically you are not aware of their personal belongings. , but that night, whether it was Wei Zi’s Mole Treasure or Yao Huang’s Silver-winged Butterfly Buyao, you recognized it at a glance, you can see that all these trivial matters of the prostitutes can’t escape your eyes.

” It changed a few times: “The slave family didn’t intend to inquire about this, it’s just that Yao Huang and Wei Zi are no better than others, they are the best known ladies in Caifenglou, not to mention precious rewards, no matter how small they are, people will stare at them. If the slaves don’t listen, they will listen to others.”

“‘Have heard of’ and ‘can meet’ are two different things.” Lin Chengyou half-smiled, “You can even tell the ins and outs of those things, you You know that there are quite a few ladies on hand, if you hadn’t been extra careful, how could you remember it so firmly.”

Calyx Ji opened her mouth to defend herself, Lin Chengyou smiled and said, “What are you anxious about?

He picked up the sachet on the table and asked, “Have you seen this sachet before?”

In just a few words, Calyx Ji was frightened out of sweat, and she subconsciously restrained her self-consciousness. When I got up, I took a closer look and recognized it was the one I found in the lobby in the morning. I was a little stumped: “This, this is not-”

“Yes.” Lin Chengyou looked directly at Calyx Ji, his eyes were as dark as lacquer, as if he wanted to see the other person’s bones, “This is the thing of the murderer, if you want to find the murderer as soon as possible, this is the most crucial clue, you think about it. Thinking about it, have you seen anyone use this in the past.”

“Tell the prince.” Calyx Ji took out a handkerchief and wiped the cold sweat on her forehead, “The slave’s memory is not bad, the colors on this sachet are so unique, If someone in the building has used it, the slave family must have an impression. But the slave family is sure that they have never seen this sachet before.”

Lin Chengyou reminded her: “Not only the prostitutes in the building, but also the guests and neighbors.

” After thinking about it, he shook his head again: “The slave family has never seen it before. The slave family knows the seriousness. It’s all this time, so I don’t dare to lie to you.”

Lin Chengyou was a little disappointed. However, even if one of them is lying, it is unlikely that both are lying.

The sachets are not newly made, and the colors are eye-catching. If you have never seen a fake mother with sharp eyes and attentive eyes, it means that the murderer seldom uses this sachet in front of people.

This is interesting, Caifeng Tower has been open for more than half a year, prostitutes live next to each other, and even the most cautious people will reveal their flaws, but the murderer has hidden for so long and so deeply…

Lin Chengyou paused: “I remember you all. The owner said that the small Buddhist hall in the back garden was built after an expert in Luoyang saw it

? ”

“Do you usually go to the small Buddhist hall to burn incense?”

Calyx Ji shook her head like a rattle: “Nu’s house has never been there, and others rarely go around the small Buddhist hall . ”

“Why is that?” Calyx Ji caressed her chest: ”

It’s strange to say that the small Buddha hall was built to ward off evil spirits, but not to mention the night, even the daytime is cold. Even if it is full of incense candles at night, the hall is still dark. It is cold, people feel uncomfortable as soon as they go in, the ladies dare not walk around the small Buddha hall, and even our main house is afraid. Occasionally, if we go there, we are bound to find a dozen temple visitors to accompany us. Over time, everyone did not go. ”

Lin Chengyou thought to himself that the small Buddha hall was called the Buddha Hall, but in fact it used the Taoist Ruyi Demon Subduing Formation. The cornerstone of the formation below is enough to keep the building safe.

The bad thing is that it smashed the eye of the formation that suppressed the two monsters a hundred years ago, causing a lot of yin to overflow from the eye of the formation, and the nearby ghosts and ghosts felt it, and they inevitably came to wander. . And the two monsters absorbed enough evil energy, and broke out of the formation not long after.

This point, it is estimated that the people who set up the formation did not expect it.

“Have you seen the master from Luoyang?”

“No. When the master came to Chang’an, someone else was in charge of entertaining him. The slave family only knew that he was called Xiaoyao Sanren.”

Lin Chengyou sneered: “But I have already sent someone . After looking for it, there is no master named Xiaoyao Sanren in Luoyang.”

Caly Ji couldn’t help laughing and crying: “Sir, don’t mention this matter, our main family is about to regret it. After the completion of the small Buddha hall, the Caifeng Tower was only clean for a while. , and soon began to be haunted again. The main family had no choice but to go to Luoyang to find the Xiaoyao Sanren in person. As a result, they went twice in a row, and they were all empty. After receiving the money, no one will be seen.”

Yan Sizhi said curiously, “Since you suspect that person is a liar, why didn’t you report to the official?

” That Taoist priest is from Luoyang, but the deception is in Chang’an. Does this matter belong to Wannian County, Chang’an, or Luoyang? Now, this matter will be put on hold.”

Lin Chengyou pondered, from the layout of the small Buddha hall, the Taoist priest is not like a liar, even if the craftsman accidentally smashed through the ground during construction, he came here on the basis of his skills. It’s not difficult to make some remedies, why don’t you even show your face?

Just because Xiaoyao Sanren didn’t show up again, no one found that the array eye below was smashed through. The craftsmen did not dare to tell He Mingsheng when they got into trouble. He Mingsheng didn’t know Taoism and couldn’t see the clue, so until the two monsters ran out, Caifenglou continued to sing every night.

Little Buddha Hall… Little Buddha Hall… Lin Chengyou calculated in his heart that everyone avoided this gloomy little Buddha hall, but some people used this to perform sorcery in it.

His thoughts were condensed on the seven-mang guide sign found under the incense case in the small Buddha hall.

Qimang leads the way to the Yin Evil Gate to the extreme. It can only be done at night. No one needs to be disturbed during the whole process. The Small Buddha Hall is the best place.

The murderer didn’t want people to see what he was doing, and wished that no one dared to go to the small Buddha hall… And in order to be safe, just being “gloomy” is not enough, the reasoning should do something else.

Lin Chengyou’s heart moved: “Aunt Calyx, has anyone ever heard someone say that she bumped into a ghost in the small Buddhist hall?”

Calyx Ji nodded nervously: “Yes, yes, someone said this a few months ago, and then people bumped into ghosts one after another. , The slave family seems to… I seem to have seen it.” Yan Sizhi said strangely

: “I have seen it before, if I haven’t seen it, I haven’t seen it, what is ‘seem to have seen’?”

The slave family can’t figure out whether that thing is a human or a ghost.” Lin Chengyou

asked with great interest: “What does the thing you see look like?”

I still feel terrified when I think about it.

“About two months ago, I remember that it was the fifteenth day. A few well-dressed children who came to take the test from other places came to the building to drink and fight poems, and asked to listen to music. The slave family saw that they were still gentle, so they called them Juanerli. He went to serve with Baozhu, and he agreed that he would only serve songs and poems and drink orders, and not serve anything else. The gentlemen also agreed, but in the middle of the night, there was a person in the middle of the banquet who was holding a pear and begging for joy. Zhu couldn’t pull the man away. Seeing that

something bad was going to happen, she had to run out to find the slave family. “When the slave family rushed over, the clothes were all torn off, and the dog was drunk and had a big temper. Angrily, she slapped the curler pear a few times, and the skin and flesh of the curler pear was as tender as water, and her face was swollen.

“The slave family was so angry that their teeth were going to be crushed, and they even drove these dogs out with coaxing and driving, and finally got out, and when they looked back, they couldn’t find the juanerli. The slave family knew that this child didn’t like to talk on the face. My mind is very heavy, and I have suffered such a grievance, and I can’t tell how uncomfortable I am. I hurriedly and Baozhu went to find her, but Juanerli was not in the room, so I had to go to the garden again.

“The garden is big, and it’s late at night . , The slave family remembered that there was a well in the backyard, lest Juanerli would find a short-term view, and would not care about whether it was a ghost or a ghost, so as soon as they entered, they separated from Baozhu to look for it. There was no one in the garden, and the more we walked in, the more secluded it became. When we were near the small Buddha hall, the slave family suddenly saw a shadow jumping out of it—”

When Qi Ji said this, her voice trembled suddenly.

” Nujia saw, Nujia saw a female ghost in red clothes. ”

The female ghost in the red dress—” Yan Si was puzzled, “It’s so late, are you very close?” Why can’t even see the color of the clothes. ”

Qi Ji was stunned for a while, as if she didn’t know how to answer.

Lin Chengyou showed a mocking smile: “Didn’t Aunt Qiao just say that it was fifteen that night. Calyx Ji nodded hurriedly: ”

Yes, yes, the moon was big that night, and the ground seemed to be sprinkled with a layer of silver frost. The slaves forgot to bring the lanterns out, but they also felt that there was a bright light everywhere.” ”

“Have you seen the ghost’s appearance?” Calyx Ji’s head shook like a rattle: ”

The slave family didn’t dare to stare, the ghost ran fast again, only to feel that the red shadow flashed in front of him, and the ghost disappeared in an instant. ”

Lin Chengyou: “I didn’t see the appearance clearly, I should have some impression of height, short, fat and thin, do you think it is familiar or familiar?”

Calyx Ji thought for a while, and said with certainty, “If it’s an acquaintance, the slave family should have recognized it long ago. Besides, the slave family has lived for all these years, and they have never seen anyone who can fly so fast. That thing can’t be a person, it can only be a ghost. ”

“Clothes, hairpin rings, fragrance…is there nothing familiar?” ”

Calyx Ji said with a bitter face: “It’s just a flash of time, the slave family didn’t dare to think about it afterwards, they knew that it was wearing a ru skirt, and other slave families have long forgotten.” Withstanding Lin Chengyou’s gaze, she didn’t know how long it took. Just as she moved uneasily, Lin Chengyou’s beautiful voice sounded: “The story is not over yet, did Baozhu find Zhuanerli?

” Now, the slave family was so frightened that they turned around and ran back. They saw a group of people looking for them. It turned out that Baozhu found Juanerli in the Green Butterfly Pavilion. The child was hiding in the pavilion and crying. The two came to look for me. I met Wo Ji and Wei Zi on the way, and they walked together. They looked at me and asked what was wrong. The slave family saw that Juan Erli’s face was badly injured, and they only said that they had hit a ghost, and they didn’t dare to stay. Immediately take them back to the room to apply the ointment.” The

room fell silent, Lin Chengyou tapped the table with his index finger, and vaguely heard the yamen and prostitutes talking downstairs, accompanied by slightly anxious footsteps.

After a while, he opened his mouth and said, “The Little Buddha Hall is used to ward off ghosts, and it did work for a while at first. If even the Little Buddha Hall starts to haunt, the people in the building will be very surprised. Who is the person who hit the ghost? Aunt Caly should have some impression.”

Caly Ji wiped the sweat from her forehead: “There is more than one slave who hit the ghost near the small Buddha hall. Even if the slave has heard of it, it is really unclear. Who is the person I bumped into.”

She looked at Lin Chengyou nervously as she spoke, thinking that she would be made trouble again, but Lin Chengyou took the initiative to help her: “Is it a rumor, it was half true when I heard it, I want to find out the source. It’s so easy, it’s not surprising that Aunt Cadden can’t remember it.”

Calyx Ji squeezed out a smile that was uglier than crying: “The prince really understands people, and the slave family hopes that the prince will catch the murderer as soon as possible, and can’t wait to tell the prince what he knows.”

Lin Chengyou looked at Calyx Ji sincerely: “I already feel the sincerity of Aunt Calyx. Let’s ask this first today. Aunt Calyx tells the yamen when she goes out, and asks Boss He to come up and talk back.”

Calyx Ji was relieved, she just retreated to the door when she heard Lin Chengyou say: “Forgot to tell Aunt Calyx, the ‘girl ghost’ you saw that night is most likely the murderer, if you think of anything after returning to the room, immediately ask the yamen to give it to me Spread the word.”

“Murderer?” Calyx Ji turned her head in shock, “Isn’t that a female ghost?”

Lin Chengyou smirked, but did not intend to answer, Calyx stared at Lin Chengyou for a while, and nodded uncertainly: “Nujia Be sure to think about it when you go back to the house.”

After Qiji left, Yan Sizhi said while writing: “Chengyou, don’t you think this Qiji’s speech is full of loopholes? It was said earlier that ‘the slave family can’t tell whether that thing is a human or a ghost’. , later changed

his words, ‘people can’t fly so fast, they are definitely ghosts’.” Lin Chengyou sneered: “Brother Yan, do you think she is telling us or herself?”

Yan Sizhi Putting down the pen: “Does she have any doubts in her heart and wants to use this to convince herself?”

Lin Chengyou smiled: “I guess she either remembers who the female ghost looks like, but she doesn’t want to believe it in her heart, so she uses this method to persuade herself . herself. Or—”

“She’s the murderer herself?” Yan Si went straight to the point, “yes, it’s all at this point, who else would lie except the murderer? Chengyou, why don’t you try this calyx girl with Se Sezhu, the murderer? She knows martial arts, whether it is her or not, you will know after a try.”

Lin Chengyou shook his head: “I can’t try it, this method can only be used once, the murderer knew that I was deliberately testing her, and he would rather be hit with a broken eye without revealing the filling. ”

Yan Si straightly said: “Then we can only check one by one, but we don’t even know what grudges the murderer has with sister Yao Huang, and we don’t know how to investigate the motive

.” Lin Chengyou looked down at the testimony on the table, “Actually, it’s easy to say that Calyx is the murderer, whether the motive or the origin can be found out. But in case she didn’t lie, she often expressed doubts when she talked about the female ghost. The look clearly reminded me of something.”

Yan Sizhi thought about it: “It’s about life and safety, so there’s no reason to cover up the murderer. Besides, Calyx Ji is a person who is very good at protecting herself. She’s lying. I’d rather believe that she herself is the murderer.

” Said: “Let Boss He wait downstairs for a while, and call Juan Erli, Wei Zi, and Baozhu to ask questions first.”

The first one came was Juan Erli.

She seemed to be a little out of spirit, and she didn’t say anything after entering the room. She bowed straight to Lin Chengyou and Yan Si, and then silently stepped aside.

Yan Sizhi looked at the curling pear, and felt a pity in his heart, this orchid is surprisingly beautiful, but unfortunately, her demeanor is a little dull, and her appearance has lost a bit of color when she is stunned.

For the first time, Lin Chengyou looked straight at Juanerli and said that Teng Yuyi looked a bit like Juanerli and Gejin, but he didn’t see any resemblance.

If you have to compare, the eyes are a bit similar, they are all the same apricot circle and clear, but Teng Yuyi’s eyes are full of water light, the long eyelashes blink, the water light seems to be rippling, a frown. A smile is more agile than Juan Erli’s eyes, but it’s a pity that there are all bad ideas in the water.

He snorted inwardly, and picked up the sachet questionnaire: “Have you seen this sachet before?”

Juan Erli shook his head gently: “It was the first time I saw you last night.” After

asking Juan Erli, Lin Chengyou again Call Baozhu and Wei Zi in one by one.

Unsurprisingly, none of the three had seen the sachet.

As for what happened on the fifteenth day two months ago, Baozhu and Juanerli’s statement was the same as that of Calyx Ji. Wei Zi was with the guests in the front building that night, and she didn’t know that Juanerli had been bullied, but her later experience in the garden was also consistent with Calyx Ji’s account.

Lin Chengyou then asked: Have you ever seen anyone haunting the small Buddha hall at night? Who was the first to say that he hit a ghost in the small Buddhist hall?

The three of them said they had never met, but they all remembered that the first time they mentioned that they hit a ghost in the small Buddhist hall, it was Aunt Calyx.

Finally, I inquired about the people of Yuezhou, and everyone like Juan Erli knew nothing. Seeing that there was nothing to ask, Lin Chengyou had to let them go back first.

Yan Si’s face was complicated: “After all, the first person to say that she saw a ghost in the small Buddha hall was Caly Ji herself? She is smart, and she has concealed other things, but she is willing to talk about Juanerli. To be honest, I guess she knows it in her heart, as soon as she asks this kind of thing, she will know whether it is true or false.”

Lin Chengyou stroked his chin: “It is not yet conclusive for the time being. Now it can only prove that the four of them had been together that night. But yes, Qi Ji joined them at the back. When she was alone, whether she hit a ghost or went to the small Buddha hall, she is the only one who speaks.”

Yan Sizhi said confusedly, “Huh?” He said, “Chengyou, today you don’t leave the ‘Little Buddha Hall’, did you find something in it?”

Lin Chengyou patted his forehead, turned his head and smiled, “Forgot to tell Big Brother Yan, last night I two The younger brother discovered that someone had performed sorcery in the small Buddhist hall. Judging from the way of setting up the formation, it is very likely that the murderer killed Qingzhi. I suspect that some people deliberately spread rumors that the small Buddhist hall is haunted. Dare to approach the small Buddha hall.”

Yan Sizhi was stunned: “According to this, isn’t Calyx the most suspicious? This is strange, the sachets came from the Taozhi Embroidery Workshop in Yuezhou, but Calyx was born and raised in Chang’an. When did she go to Yuezhou, and why did she want to kill sisters Yao Huang??”

A thought popped into Lin Chengyou’s mind, and he summoned the yamen outside and said, “Go to Prince Cheng’s mansion for me and tell Commander Chang that Hu is under the bed in my room. There is a bamboo scorpion, ask him to take it out and bring it to me as soon as possible.” As soon as the

yamen left, Lin Chengyou also got up, Yan Sizhi didn’t know what to say: “What’s wrong?”

“I think we are thinking wrong, Yan Brother, you check the rest first, and I’ll go to the small Buddha hall.”

***

It was raining outside, the spring rain was as thin as hair, and it fell down from the head, like a wet sarong on the face. .

Lin Chengyou returned to the Small Buddha Hall in the rain. From a distance, he saw the hall was brightly lit. There were two yamen standing at the door. While nodding, he quickly entered the small Buddha hall.

The hall is full of people, and the four sitting postures on the left are slanted and crooked.

The three sitting figures on the right are slightly better, and they are Jue Sheng, Abandoning Wisdom, and Seeing Joy.

There were still two standing in front of the incense table, one was Cheng Bo with his arms crossed, and the other was Huo Qiu with his arms crossed.

Everyone’s eyes fell on the moving figure in the hall. The man was holding a Bi Yingying dagger, stretched his shoulders and stretched his arms, and turned around lightly, making a gesture.

Teng Yuyi learned the tenth move, and gradually felt a little enlightened. The gap between moves became shorter and shorter, and the sword was no longer so clumsy.

When I learned the Kee swordsmanship of Cheng Bo before, the heat in my body always felt stagnant and condensed, but this set of brown swordsmanship is different.

Just as he was practicing hard, he suddenly felt a glance from behind him. Teng Yuyi was already familiar with this look on the back of his head, and he automatically felt an unpleasant feeling. Glancing from the corner of his eye, he saw a tall figure walking in from outside.

Lin Chengyou was still wearing the hosta green round-neck robe that morning. This color was worn more often by women, and her skin color was always very picky, but wearing it on Lin Chengyou did not reduce the air of Yingmai at all, and the goldfish bag around her waist followed suit. His steps were faintly sound, and the dark black rhinoceros belt tied a good waist.

Teng Yuyi smiled and calculated in his heart, this fellow is rich and proud, and he always looks down on the world on weekdays. If he wears a red peony flower on his hairpin, it will be like a golden rooster with a vermilion crown in the Cockfighting Square.

Lin Chengyou didn’t know that Teng Yuyi had compared him to a cockfighting cock in his heart, but it didn’t prevent him from staring at Teng Yuyi with teasing eyes, and he didn’t know how the five ways were taught. people.

He laughed in his heart, and was about to brag about Teng Yuyi’s nonsense, such as “extraordinary talent”, “great birth”, “practice like this will become a great weapon” and so on, when Tian suddenly bounced off the ground: “Sir , the nine-day fire ring has been arranged, don’t believe it, today is a good luck, I invited the Samadhi True Fire Talisman in an hour, it happened to be raining outside, let’s come in to avoid the rain.”

After that, I felt something was wrong, He As for seeing Lin Chengyou, it was like his butt was blown into a flower.

Lin Chengyou smiled and said, “I might not believe it if it was someone else, but I know what the five seniors are capable of.”

Wu Dao likes to listen to others flattering himself, and after hearing this, he immediately re-pressed: “Hurry up, take advantage of it. Now the two monsters haven’t come, the prince is here to rest for a while.”

Lin Chengyou went straight to the incense table: “Wang Gongzi, let it go.”

Teng Yuyi pretended to notice Lin Chengyou, without even turning his head, he avoided Open, the small Buddha hall is so big, Lin Chengyou doesn’t go anywhere else to find trouble with her, most of them are deliberately provoking things, don’t let her be fooled, she dare not drink saliva in order to catch up with the progress, quarrels and fights will only delay her effort.

Lin Chengyou didn’t expect Teng Yuyi to retreat so quickly, and it felt like a punch on the soft cloth, but this was exactly what he wanted, so there was no need to waste his lips.

He squatted down to examine the felt blanket under the incense case, and there was no trace on the surface. He turned over and couldn’t find the imprint at once. Qizhi ran to Lin Chengyou and squatted down, pointing with his fat finger: “Senior brother, Here.”

Lin Chengyou squinted his eyes, and the pattern of abandoning wisdom is exactly the same, this is Qimang Guiding Road Yin, this sorcery is from the same sect as the secret stalking soul technique that undermines Qingzhi, and other sects want to learn it. not come out.

It should be the same person, and the cultivation base is not low.

He coughed, and two yamen came in silently, locking their eyes on everyone, secretly paying attention to everyone’s every move.

The attention of all the Taoists was all drawn away by the felt blanket, and they did not pay attention to the movement at the door. They swarmed around Lin Chengyou and lowered their heads curiously.

Glancing at the imprint, she said in amazement, “Isn’t this the Seven Lights Guiding Road Seal?”

Although Teng Yuyi ran to the side to practice swordsmanship, her ears kept sticking up. Seeing Tian’s call, she asked curiously, “Master Dao, what is seven Mang leads Lu Yin?”

“A kind of sorcery, it’s not enough for people to die, but also to detain the soul of the deceased to torture and humiliate the deceased

. : “I haven’t seen this kind of sorcery for many years. Is it the same person who killed Yao Huang Qingzhi? Shizi, have you found out who did it?”

Lin Chengyou continued to search nearby: “If you find it, just Well, this person is very thoughtful and rarely seen in his life. Take this Seven Lights Guiding Road Seal as an example. When doing this, you need to release seven Fire Seal Lamps at one time. , but you have also seen that there is a huge small Buddhist hall, leaving only a small trace.”

Jianxi stared at the brand and said suspiciously: “I remember that this sorcery has a lot of rules.”

“There are a lot of rules.” Lin Chengyou raised his head and looked under the incense case, “The first three are: don’t care about Chunxuan’s soul, don’t care about the soul of a young child, don’t care about the soul of a distant place.”

Teng Yuyi’s moves slowed down, and she could understand the first two, not hurting her parents or hurting her parents. Young child, explain that although people who study sorcery are vicious and have not lost their conscience, she can’t understand the third rule.

Fortunately, in addition to her, there are two people who are just as curious as she is in the small Buddhist hall.

He only heard Jue Sheng ask: “Senior brother, does this ‘soul from far away’ refer to a soul that is not too far away?”

Seeing Le sneered, he laughed: “Silly boy, this means that this formation cannot be used. Do whatever you want, you can only detain the souls of people who died in a certain place. For example, when you cast spells in Caifeng Tower, you can only detain the souls of people who died in the building—”

Teng Yuyi’s ear exploded, the people who died in the building? The two sisters Yao Huang and Qingzhi were killed not long ago, but the brand under the blanket does not seem to have been left recently, indicating that the target of the man’s sorcery was not the Yao Huang sisters, it would be strange, the murderer was obviously from Caifenglou Man, why deal with the dead before?

Wu Dao also seemed to be startled, and looked around blankly: “How many people have died in this place? No, it’s not that the building has always been haunted, and there have been no deaths.”

Jian Le has heard a lot of rumors about this place recently: “Don’t you know, this place used to be a house of colorful silk and silk, the owner and his wife
