Attack Jade (攻玉) - Chapter 59

[Chapter 39 (1)]

Teng Yuyi’s heart suddenly jumped into his throat, if he hadn’t been unable to act rashly, he would have rushed to Juesheng to find out.

Lin Chengyou stared closely at Juesheng: “Who is it talking about?”

Juesheng was very anxious, Tian Yunde lost his hands, and the gesture with a broken wrist was too large.

He poked a certain name in a hurry: “Boss Tian, are you talking about this person?”

Tian Yunde shook his head desperately, shaking his broken wrist forward, and at this moment, Qi’s ghost suddenly looked like a piece of paper Generally, he shook violently, and regardless of the red rope tied to his waist, he screamed and wanted to jump out.

Lin Chengyou didn’t watch out for Qi’s sudden attack. He steadied the red rope with his right hand and flew out a talisman with the other hand, but before he could restrain Qi’s, the seven oil lamps went out with a puff.

The small Buddha hall was suddenly pitch black, Lin Chengyou knew something was wrong, Fei Fu lit the candles on the incense table behind him, the flames trembled, and the eyes opened up again.

The rope fell silently on the ground, and the ghosts of the Tian family had long since escaped.

Lin Chengyou tore off the red rope on his finger, got up and stepped out: “Who did Tian Yunde just say?” Juesheng

drew a circle on the roster: “The broken wrist is about the part of the finger.”

Lin Chengyou stared at the circle. There are a total of six people’s names, Wo Ji, Caly Ji, Ge Jin, He Mingsheng, Baozhu, and Juanerli.

It was only one step away from knowing who it was. Lin Chengyou snorted coldly: “It’s okay, it’s a big deal, do it again.”

He turned around to restart the formation, and the crowd rushed over to stop it: “Hey, I can’t, this is a sorcerer, the prince beware of breaking your cultivation.”

Lin Chengyou squatted down and nodded. Oil Lamp: “There are still a lot of things I haven’t figured out right now. Now that I know that the murderer has something to do with the Tian family, I can just figure it out at once.” Jiantian

shook his head: “You and I are practicing the right way, so I shouldn’t be infected with sorcery. It doesn’t matter if you investigate the case once, there is absolutely no reason to start the battle again and again.”

When Lin Chengyou heard the word “tainted”, he was suddenly shocked, what happened to him? Knowing that there is a huge harm, but insisting on starting the battle, just now he was full of thoughts on how to find out the name of the murderer, and others couldn’t stop him. Master Wei Dao said, “Anything that goes against the sky and goes against the truth has hidden dangers.”

Lin Chengyou calmed down, blew out the candle in his hand, stood up, and smiled: “Senior reminded me right, I was just confused.”

Jue Sheng and Qi Zhi were relieved, Teng Yuyi didn’t understand why he couldn’t start the battle again. Seeing that the Taoists were so nervous, she thought it had something to do with the taboos in Taoism. She looked down at the names on the register and said, “Twelve paintings—there is only one person whose surname is twelve paintings.”

Qizhi said excitedly. : “I’ll take a look.”

Suddenly dumbfounded: “Hey. Aunt Calyx?” Jue

Sheng also couldn’t believe it: “How could it be her?”

Xi, she is so ruthless behind her back, looking at her usual words and deeds, you can’t really tell that she possesses unique skills.”

Jian Le put his shoulder on his head: “Xi Xi, what you said is wrong, the more powerful a person is, the more powerful he is. The more she knows how to hide. I just wonder how she became feud with the Tian family and why did she kill the Yao and Huang sisters?”

“Don’t forget that Calyx is a qualified private prostitute in Pingkangfang, and Caibohang is still there. She will live here at that time.” Seeing Xian Yue said, her eyes brightened, “It’s all right to say that, Caly Ji knew both the Tian family and her husband, and she was also the false mother of Caifenglou. She has something to do with her!”

Teng Yuyi coughed twice: “But as far as I know, prostitutes often use pseudonyms, and it is estimated that false mothers are no exception.”

Lin Chengyou was studying the broken red rope, and after hearing this, he thought After thinking about it, Teng Yuyi knows a lot. He has grown up so big, and he has hardly stepped foot in Pingkangfang except investigating cases and catching monsters. , It seems that they know a lot about the twists and turns of the prostitutes.

But what she said was right. Calyx Ji may not be called Calyx. What is her real name? You have to look at the body deed.

He picked up the silver nails scattered on the ground. Although the formation was defeated in the middle, the harvest was not small.

Juesheng and Qizhi: “Senior brother, do you want to go back to the front building?”

“I’m going to find out what immoral things the Tian family did during their lifetime. You two put away everything on the ground. Don’t lose it to me.” Although the

two yamen hadn’t looked back before, they were still quite frightened, Lin Chengyou walked up to the two of them, took out the tranquilizer pill from his arms and gave them to them, smiling: “There is no need here. Take care of it, you guys go down and have a good rest.” The

yamen was shocked, nodded and left.

Teng Yuyi was full of “practicing swords”, and it took more than half an hour to set up the formation. In other words, practicing swords was enough for her to learn one move and a half. Lin Chengyou just walked away, and she drew the sword with her back: “Masters, Let’s practice a few tricks while the wine and food are still in the future.”

Zhongdao wanted to take a break, but seeing Teng Yuyi’s bright eyes and knowing that the rest could not be done, they pouted in dissatisfaction and walked slowly to the table.

Teng Yuyi was agitated, and she could endure an old Taoist pouting, and the five old Taoists pouted together, which was simply a miracle.

Fortunately, she could turn around under the guise of practicing the sword, instead of being forced to watch this scene.

Lin Chengyou just walked to the door, when a yamen came to him: “Sir, there is a prostitute who wants to see you.”

“Who?”

“A lady named Baozhu.”

Her? Lin Chengyou nodded: “Let her bring her here.”

After a while, she held the beads and entered the Buddhist hall under the guidance of the yamen. She seemed to be deliberately dressed up tonight, with a light rouge on her cheeks and white lips. The sun was even fresher. She looked down at the corners of her skirt, and every step she took was very charming. When she came in, she suddenly found that the room was full of people. She was so scared that she stopped her steps. When she saw Teng Yuyi, her expression became even more uncomfortable.

She panicked and said, “I have seen His Royal Highness.”

Teng Yuyi glanced at Baozhu strangely. She probably thought that Lin Chengyou was here alone.

“What are you going to tell?”

Baozhu bit her lip and let it go, her lips instantly became rosy and full.

Lin Chengyou frowned impatiently: “Is something wrong?”

Baozhu shrank, but still didn’t speak.

“It looks like it’s alright.” Lin Chengyou nodded with a smile, and said with a sullen face, “Come here, send this actor to Dali Temple, and disturb the official handling of the case for no reason. According to the law, you can fight for twenty, but first hit her twice. Ten boards, if you are not honest, you will be punished separately.”

Baozhu paled in shock, and knelt on the ground with her knees low: “The slave family and the slave family do have something important to report. .”

She kowtowed vigorously as she spoke, obviously frightened, Wu Dao couldn’t bear to hear the sound of “dong dong dong”, this little beauty dressed up specially, most of them had other thoughts, but So what? It’s so beautiful, it doesn’t hurt to use some crooked brains. Lin Chengyou, this stinky boy, has a good skin and doesn’t know how to pity fragrance and jade at all.

Lin Chengyou lowered his eyes and looked at Baozhu: “You’d better be acquainted with each other, if you dare to talk about it again.”

“The slave family will never dare to talk nonsense.” Nianxiang, now completely scared, “In the afternoon, the prince asked a few of the slaves to ask questions. After returning to the room, the slaves remembered a very strange thing. The prince asked Xiaofotang and the Xiaoyao Sanren today. Yue has seen Xiaoyao Sanren before, I wonder if Juanerli has mentioned this to the prince.”

Lin Chengyou’s eyes twitched, last month? Xiaoyao Sanren didn’t show up again half a year ago, and it turned out that he had returned to Chang’an on the way.

“Where did she see Xiaoyao Sanren?”

Baozhu didn’t dare to look up and said one by one.

That day was the eighth day of the first lunar month. Calyx Ji allowed Baozhu and Juanerli to go to the Bodhi Temple to offer incense. Unfortunately, Baozhu’s body was uneasy, so Juanerli had to go out with the other little ladies. When she came back, she whispered to Baozhu: “The master sent people to Luoyang to arrest Xiaoyao Sanren every day, but who knew that Taoist priest was hiding in Chang’an.”

Baozhu hurriedly asked what was wrong.

Juan Erli said: “The sisters came out of the temple after burning incense, and stopped by the restaurant to buy green ant wine to drink. I went to the store opposite to buy peaches for you. When I came out, I saw a Taoist priest hurriedly walking past, and I was heartbroken. I don’t think this is the Xiaoyao Sanren.”

Baozhu was startled when she heard this, she had seen Xiaoyao Sanren when she came to Caifeng Tower, with a red face and beard, with a long sword hanging from her waist, not like an ordinary Taoist priest, but a bit of a ranger. To be fair, his appearance was so unusual that it was no wonder that Juan Erli could recognize him at a glance.

“Isn’t this person a liar, what is he doing?”

Juan Erli said: “He seems to be tracking someone, but unfortunately the street is crowded with people, and he passed by in a flash.”

Baozhu hurriedly said: “Master’s house Don’t you hate this Daoist priest to death, tell the master about this matter.”

Juan Erli said hesitantly, “This Daoist priest doesn’t look like a bad person, maybe he’s just wandering around, not trying to deceive people for money, he really wants to be killed by the master. If the family is caught, it will inevitably be a prison disaster, or let it go.” The

two were discussing, Qingzhi happily passed by the door, and many actors went out to hang out today, and Qingzhi was no exception. She still hugged her in her arms. With a big bag of food, it seems that I have gained a lot. She seemed to have heard the conversation between Baozhu and Juanerli, but didn’t come in to ask.

As soon as Qingzhi left, Calyx Ji came in. Juan’erli whispered to Baozhu, “I wonder if they heard what we said.”

Baozhu said, “If Aunt Calyx heard us, she would definitely ask us face to face. Qingzhi may not be the case. I guess she heard a few words. The girl’s mouth was broken, and she was sure that she would go to the master’s family.

As a result, after several days, there was no movement from He Mingsheng, and Baozhu and Juanerli guessed that either Qingzhi I didn’t pay attention to what they were saying that day, or Qingzhi didn’t have time to tell the master.”

After Baozhu said these words, she raised her head and glanced at Lin Chengyou timidly.

Lin Chengyou frowned and thought, this clue is very important, why did Juanerli never mention it.

Baozhu seemed to have guessed what Lin Chengyou was thinking, and said with trepidation: “To tell you the truth, since Juan Erli was kidnapped by that male demon, his spirits have deteriorated a lot. She is always in a daze, and the slave family sometimes chats with her. She often can’t even remember our affairs. The slave family guesses that she did not hide it on purpose, but really forgot it. Blame her.”

When Teng Yuyi heard it, she couldn’t help but be startled, strangely, Juanerli has always been stunned recently, it turned out to be frightened by the young master in golden clothes, which is not surprising, who is not afraid of encountering such a big monster, change it For those who are more timid, it is possible to freak out on the spot.

Qizhi was soft-hearted, and couldn’t help but interject: “Miss, don’t worry, Juanerli’s soul was disturbed first, and secondly, she had strayed into an illusion, and she had to meditate, but unfortunately, there have been frequent accidents recently. Yu Nursing, we will give her some talisman soup to soothe the nerves and nourish the qi later, and it will be good for a few more days.”

Baozhu was grateful: “Thank you, the little Taoist priest.”

Lin Chengyou looked at Baozhu: “Is there anyone after that day? Did you mention this in front of you?”

“No.” Baozhu shook his head, “If Shizi hadn’t inquired about Xiaoyao Sanren in the afternoon, the slave family might not have remembered it, thinking that it might have something to do with catching the murderer, but I was worried that Juanerli would have forgotten, so I had to I dared to come and report.”

Lin Chengyou pondered for a moment, and then asked, “Besides Juanerli, has anyone else seen the Xiaoyao Sanren in Chang’an?”

“No.” Baozhu added, “At least we didn’t listen to it. I said it.” After

Baozhu

left, Lin Chengyou also went to the front building.

Teng Yuyi learned a few tricks, and gradually felt that the robe on her body was greasy and heavy, and she was sweating too much. She had to go back to the room to change clothes, so she told Wudao to leave and planned to take Cheng Bo and Huoqiu back. Relying on Cui Xuan.

Jue Sheng and Qi Zhi chased after them: “Young Master Wang, we’ll accompany you.”

Teng Yuyi knew that they were worried about the corpse evil breaking in, so he walked forward and said with a smile, “I still have some snacks there, just for you to eat. The

two nodded happily, and Juesheng counted with his fingers: “Jizhi, has Wang Gongzi learned a total of twelve moves?”

“Thirteen moves.” Qizhi sighed calmly, “There are two left. Thirteen moves can be practiced.”

Teng Yuyi smiled and glanced at them, but she didn’t expect them to be very interested in her learning martial arts, according to her current progress, she is expected to finish the practice before dark tomorrow, just hope that she will not stop halfway. Something went wrong, or she would suffer for nothing.

Soon after arriving at Yicuixuan, it was quiet all around. There were two yamen patrolling in the corridor, and the prostitutes and fake mothers were trapped in their respective rooms.

Cheng Bo waited in the next room, while Teng Yuyi went straight back to the room to change clothes. She simply groomed and found a few packs of Jue Sage and Ji Zhi’s favorite vegetarian food. Fish vinegar and other meat dishes are also placed on the tray.

After cleaning up, he looked around and found that there was still a plate of preserved cherries on the case. Teng Yuyi was stunned. This thing was put out when Baozhu and Juanerli came that day. .

She walked across the room and opened the door, but she always felt something was wrong. Cheng Bo and others heard the movement. Teng Yuyi said to Huoqiu absent-mindedly, “Take these food to the small Buddha hall.

” Zhi took the lead in rushing into the room: “Don’t bother Big Brother Huo, let’s come.” Huo

Qiu has a straightforward temperament, he smiled and was about to speak when he accidentally saw Teng Yuyi’s face, and said in surprise, “Master, what’s wrong with you?”

Teng Yuyi After a pause, he turned his head and walked to the other side of the corridor: “I have to go to the front building.”

Cheng Bo looked at each other and quickly followed in surprise.

As soon as Teng Yuyi arrived at the front building, she looked left and right: “Where’s Lin Chengyou?”

The yamen did not know Teng Yuyi’s identity, but thought this little man was a little weird.

“Lin Pingshi is on the second floor, what’s the matter with this gentleman?”

“My surname is Wang, please send me a message, saying that Wang has something important to tell him.

” After Si Zhi brought back several files from Dali Temple, he ordered them to wait downstairs for the Wannian County Fa Cao to join the army, while he stayed on the second floor to check things. .

“Lin Pingshi may not be willing to see you.” The yamen said, “Wait here, I’ll go up and ask.”

***

Lin Chengyou stood with his back against the moon window, but his eyes were on the portrait in his hand, congratulations Although Mingsheng was born in a businessman, his painting skills are not bad. The description of Xiaoyao Sanren in this painting is almost the same as that of Baozhu. He is tall and strong, with thick eyebrows and beards.

He Mingsheng painted a total of four paintings, one of which was in the hands of Jin Wuwei and Yu Qi at the moment, and the other two were sent to two city gates respectively. will be arrested immediately.

“I don’t know if I don’t check.” Yan Sizhi smiled bitterly at the desk under the lamp, “It turns out that three of the six people’s surnames are ‘Twelve Paintings’. Ge Jin’s real name is Dong.”

Lin Chengyou took over the conversation: “And Baozhu, she was an orphan when she was picked up, and she had no surname until she was bought.”

Yan Sizhi added Baozhu’s name seriously, He wanted to cross out He Mingsheng’s name: “It seems that this matter has nothing to do with Boss He.”

Lin Chengyou said, “Slow.”

Yan Sizhi was shocked: “What’s wrong? Could it be that He Mingsheng is also using a pseudonym?”

Lin Chengyou frowned: “I have asked someone to go to Luoyang to check his details earlier, his grandfather is a Luoyang giant, and his identity background is no problem. But after all, he is the owner of this building, whether it is a long-term arrangement in the small Buddha hall. It’s more convenient for him to do things than other people in the building.”

Yan Sizhi pointed at Ge Jin’s name: “Ge Jin always recuperates in the room after being disfigured, and there is no possibility of murder.

Lin Chengyou thought about this: “But she has a motive to kill.”

“Motivation?” Yan Sizhi asked in surprise, “She doesn’t even know that she was harmed by Qingzhi and Yao Huang, how-” Suddenly , she was

secretly surprised, This is only one side of Ge Jin’s remarks. Maybe she already knew who hurt her, but she deliberately made such a scene in public that night. It is not impossible. After all, no one in Caifenglou hates Yao more than her. Sister Huang.

Yan Sizhi was surprised: “Then… it seems that only Juanerli and Baozhu are the least suspect.”

Lin Chengyou said, “Don’t you think that Juanerli is too demented?”

“Do you suspect that she is pretending? “Yan Si glanced over the portrait of Xiaoyao Sanren,” Yes, Baozhu’s words tonight also proved that Juanerli has been concealing important clues, but she is a Hu person, how can she have a relationship with the Taozhi Embroidery Workshop in Yuezhou ?”

Lin Chengyou thought for a while, then walked to the low couch and lay down on his back. He hadn’t closed his eyes for two nights. He was really tired and panicked: “I don’t think about it for now. Before joining the army, I will squint for a while.

” Look, someone knocked on the door outside.

Lin Chengyou didn’t open his eyes: “What’s the matter?”

“Someone asked to see Lin’s comment, and said that there was something important to report.”

Lin Chengyou thought of Baozhu, and felt tired for a while, something important? Where do so many important things come from.

“No, let her get out.”

“The man said his surname was Wang, and he seemed to be in a hurry.”

Lin Chengyou rolled over and stayed on the bed: “Bring her up.”

The yamen took the order, and returned after a while: “Lin Pingshi, someone is here.”

Lin Chengyou opened the door and went out, only to see Teng Yuyi waiting in the corridor. He was wearing his head, his forehead was full of crystal beads of sweat, but the strange smell was very fragrant.

He didn’t smell what the scent was, so he gave her a sideways look: “What’s the matter with me?” Teng Yuyi

decided to make a long story short: “I don’t think holding the beads is quite right.”

“Oh?

I once asked her and Juanerli to sing in my room. I was curious about the cause of Qingzhi’s death, so I asked them about Qingzhi. At that time, there was a plate of preserved cherries in my room. Candi, her expression changed all of a sudden. I asked her what was wrong, and she said she saw one thing when she saw candied cherries. I asked her what happened, and she said she had caught Qingzhi hiding jewelry in candied cherries.

“That’s reasonable, I didn’t have any doubts. After Baozhu left, Juesheng Qizhi and I went to the small Buddhist hall to find Wudao, and when the prince came back, Wudao asked you about the case. I think what Baozhu said was an important clue, so I just I deliberately mentioned it in front of you, and the prince didn’t seem surprised at all, so you already knew about it. Dare to ask His Royal Highness, when did Baozhu talk about this in front of you? Lin Chengyou vaguely guessed what

Teng Yuyi was wondering about. As soon as he found out that Qingzhi’s corpse was not right, he and Yan Sizhen called the people in the building one by one for questioning. That’s when he heard the cherry preserved from Baozhu’s mouth.

He said: “She told me the morning when Qingzhi’s body was found . Teng Yuyi said, ”

That’s what I’m curious about. She told you about it in the morning, why did she lose her temper when she saw the plate of preserved cherries in the afternoon.” ” It’s

kind of interesting. Lin Chengyou pondered for a while: “She not only told me this morning, but also described it in great detail. It’s reasonable to see a plate of preserved cherries again, so I won’t be surprised, unless…”

“Unless it was something else that made her lose her temper.” Teng Yu knew clearly, “She deliberately used preserved cherries and Qingzhi as a cover to cover up the real reason for her gaffe.”

Lin Chengyou became interested: “So Baozhu was in What are you doing in your room? Is there anyone else in the room?”

“Besides me, it’s just the two trail masters. When the preserved cherry was presented, the words were almost finished, so I asked Kuan Erli and Baozhu to give them to me. Played a song “Lotus Picking Song”, but when Juanerli just started, holding Zhuzhu seemed to be a ghost. That is to say, I was asked again and again, and then I came up with the latter words. To be honest, these words are flawless. , if I didn’t happen to know that she had talked about Qingzhi in detail before, I wouldn’t be suspicious at all.”

“Lotus Picking Song”… Lin Chengyou pondered, this song was played by Teng Yuyi, and Baozhu started to play it. The gaffe should not be for this.

“What about outside the corridor?” He asked again, “Did anyone happen to pass by, or speak loudly?”

Teng Yuyi shook her head: “I don’t remember exactly. The two priests were there at the time, or I’ll go back and ask again. Ask them?

After speaking, he stopped talking.

Lin Chengyou waited for a while, and seeing that Teng Yuyi did not continue, he said, “Is it gone? ”

Teng Yuyi smiled and said, “No. ”

But she didn’t mean to leave, Lin Chengyou laughed secretly, and knew that Teng Yuyi would go to the Three Treasures Hall without incident.

He pretended not to know, and turned around to push the door: “Okay, I know about it, please come back, Young Master Wang. ”

As soon as his hand touched the door frame, he heard Teng Yuyi say with a smile, “Sir, please stay.

Lin Chengyou pretended to be surprised and turned around: “What else is there to do, Young Master Wang ? ”

“The prince saw it too. “Teng Yuyi’s face was pleasant. “I have had a lot of dealings with fake mothers and prostitutes in the building. They may not be willing to tell you some things, but they will tell me frankly.” Take Juanerli and Baozhu, for example, I know how many scars they have. Sometimes a word they don’t care about is often an important clue. ”

Lin Chengyou pretended to listen carefully: “Go on.”

“I have also listened to a lot of small talk for the past few days, but for some reason, some words are clearly in front of me, but I just can’t remember them. I don’t have a bad memory for reasoning. In this way, after thinking about it, it can only be because of the Huoyu Linggen Soup, the real qi is running around in the body, and the brain is messing around.”

“It makes sense.” Lin Chengyou nodded solemnly, “Then what is the prince going to do? ”

If the prince has a prescription for Kehua, please tell me as soon as possible.” He didn’t want to tell her that he was going to go to the palace to get Yuyandan

, so he deliberately said: “The prescription?

I have dealt with all of the people who are most suspected of Linggen Decoction’s prescription. If I can transform Huoyu Linggen Decoction earlier, I can think of important clues earlier.”

Lin Chengyou said with a low smile: ” Teng Yuyi, it really belongs to you, it’s hard for you to go around such a big detour, so it’s for this.”

Teng Yuyi smiled brightly: “This is good for you and me, the murderer is very cunning, the prostitutes have their own ghosts, the prince has been investigating for a long time. , I still have no clue. If an outsider thinks of some key clues, maybe the truth will surface. I just remembered something wrong with Baozhu, which is one of them.”

Lin Chengyou’s forehead jumped.

Check for a long time? Still clueless?

What does Teng Yuyi mean by these words, did she write “contempt” on her face.

What a joke, why should she underestimate him? The clues have already been sorted out. The truth is near Chi Chi, and he will find out the murderer tomorrow morning at the latest.

“I already told you the method of Kehua.” He stammered, “Believe it or not. Instead of thinking a little bit, Mrs. Teng might as well count how many hours are left. It doesn’t matter if you practice or not, you get hot sores. But it’s not good.”

Speaking of this, he turned around and opened the door, then turned to look at her and said, “Wang Gongzi still not leaving?”

Teng Yuyi’s teeth were sore for a while, and she turned around and went down the stairs.

In the past few days, everyone has been eager to find the murderer, and she also participated in it. She originally wanted to move it with love and reason, but Lin Chengyou was stubborn.

In fact, she didn’t have to take shortcuts, but worried that the two monsters would break in at any time. She always suspected that Lin Chengyou had a better way to restrain herself and kept it hidden, so she asked this question. If there is a medicinal soup, there is no need to worry about not being able to practice it.

This time, I’m completely giving up, and it seems that I can only practice hard without sleep.

She smiled coldly in her heart: This revenge is not a gentleman, Lin Chengyou, we will see.

As soon as Lin Chengyou returned to the room, he went straight to the desk, opened a certain volume, and flipped through it.

Yan Sizhi said warmly: “Chengyou, didn’t you just say you would take

a break?” “Don’t stop.” Lin Chengyou looked attentively, and picked up the next after turning over one volume.

Yan Sizhi was a little puzzled, why did he suddenly refuse to rest?

He glanced at the door curiously: “Why did the prince come to you just now?”

Lin Chengyou was about to open his mouth as if nothing had happened, when the yamen outside rushed up and knocked on the door: “Lin Pingshi, I have caught those Hu merchants who are selling rotten grass.

Lin Chengyou was stunned, dropped the things and opened the door: “Did you bring it?” ”

They are all held at Dali Temple for the time being.” The yamen wiped his sweat, “There are other cases on these people, Si Qing said that he was afraid of the road.” There will be trouble, and they will not be escorted to Caifenglou, but Siqing has already interrogated several Hu merchants on behalf of Lin Ju. Just half a month ago, someone in Caifenglou did buy rotten grass from Hu merchants, but at that time Hu The merchant’s hand was short of powdered medicine, and the deal failed in the end.” Lin

Chengyou stunned: “Who?”

“Ms. Gejin was already disfigured at that time, and she didn’t show up herself. She only asked a poppy named Tuoer from Kangfang to help lead the line. Tuoer didn’t buy the powder, and asked someone to send a message to Madam Gejin. Madam Gejin only said she knew, but didn’t say she would buy it again.”

Yan Sizhi was stunned for a long time, then nodded slowly: “Okay, we were all played by this Gejin. Chengyou, as you said, No one wants to kill sister Yao Huang more than Ge Jin. She deliberately misunderstood Wei Zi in order to clear her suspicions in public. Now that she has been found to have intentionally bought rotten grass, can we arrest people? Are you done?”

Lin Chengyou took two steps thoughtfully, what he said was right, but with the murderer’s city government, would he buy rotten grass with great fanfare? Moreover, even if Ge Jin had the motive to kill the Yao and Huang sisters, what happened to the Tian couple?

Compared with the Yao Huang sisters, the Tian family is the beginning of the murderer’s evildoing. Only by understanding the relationship between the murderer and the Tian family can we explain the extremely evil Qimang leading the way.

He touched his chin, thinking about opening his mouth, and another yamen came upstairs: “Hong Canjun is here.”

Lin Chengyou’s eyes lit up: “Please come up quickly.”

Hong Canjun is in charge of prison and trial in Wannian County. Law Cao participated in the military (Note), and the county’s large and small cases must first pass through his hands, and if there are cases that cannot be stopped in the county, he will then report it to the next level. Although the official position is not high, but it is quite famous in the community.

Hong Canjun was born with a big shoulder and a round waist. He walked like a tiger with a fierce wind. His beard was like an upturned iron hook, but his teeth were white and shining.

After he entered the room, he smiled and saluted: “The cases of the Tian family and the Rong family were all under the responsibility of investigation. This is the record at that time, one belongs to the Rong family, the other belongs to the Tian family, Lin Pingshi and Yan Which one do you want to hear first?”

Lin Chengyou asked him to sit down: “Let’s start with Mr. Rong.”

Hong Canjun pulled up his robe and sat down: “Mrs. Rong died on the night of the second day of the first month of October last year. No one reported the case that night. Only the next morning did Mrs. Qi send someone to inform Lizheng. I have long heard that Mrs. Qi often beat up Mrs. Rong, and looked suspicious. Her death was related to her, but after checking around, the man and the neighbors said that they did not hear Rong’s call for help that night. After an autopsy, it was found that the cause of Rong’s death was drowning. In the days before Shi’s death, he always cried alone to the corner, as if he had long been determined to die.

“I can’t tell whether Mr. Rong committed suicide or was killed, so he had to report the matter to Dong Mingfu, who said that Qi’s family was not suspected. , Tian Yunde has no intention to pursue it, and since the Rong family has no relatives in Yuezhou, it is meaningless to investigate. The humble office had to close the case. ”

Yan Sizhi said in surprise:” Tian Yunde didn’t pursue it? The concubine suddenly disappeared. Did this person not even react at all? Where was Rong Shi when he died? Hong Canjun said: ”

Tian Yunde went to Yuezhou, and when he came back, he heard the news of Rong’s death. He fell ill that night. Perhaps he was too ill, and he never pursued Rong’s death. Later, Qi took some money. , ordered the man to bring back the corpse of the Rong family and bury it. ” Yuezhou—

” Lin Chengyou and Yan Sizhi were shocked.

Hong Canjun was stunned: “What’s wrong?”

Lin Chengyou held his breath and asked, “What is Tian Yunde going to do in Yuezhou ? ”

“Go and buy Liao Ling.” I heard that he was poor in his early years and started by selling colored tinsel. Although the business has grown bigger and bigger in recent years, he still goes to Yuezhou to choose fabrics in person every year. ”

It turns out that Tian Yunde has always been in contact with Yuezhou!

“Tian Yunde has always had a headwind. After he fell ill, the medical workers said that it was caused by excessive sadness, and some medical workers said that it was frightening. Hong Canjun recalled slowly, “I don’t know what Tian Yunde was afraid of. He had nightmares day and night. According to the shop assistant, Tian Yunde was confused once, and suddenly opened his eyes and said that there were ghosts lingering in the yard. Is it the Rong family? Since then, the story of the haunting of Caiboxing has spread.

Lin Chengyou’s expression changed slightly: “Wait a minute, the haunting thing came out after Tian Yunde fell ill? ” ”

“Yeah, because Tian Yunde always said there were ghosts in the yard during his illness, Mrs. Qi ran to the well and scolded several times, saying, ‘Being fascinated and harming others in life, and dare to make waves after death’. Shi was also frightened, and one day he went to the nearby Qingguo Temple to ask for a talisman to stick in the yard.”

Lin Chengyou seemed to be stunned, staring at the case on the table without moving, thinking that a ghost was there First, after Tian Yunde fell ill, it seems that everything was reversed.

Since the rumor of being haunted didn’t spread until Tian Yunde came back, then everything had to be done all over again.

First, Tian Yunde went to Yuezhou, and when he came back, he fell ill. He happened to catch up with the accident of his concubine. Everyone thought that he was too sad, but Tian Yunde had no intention to investigate the cause of Rong’s death, and even Rong’s burial was buried. Ignored.

Could it be that they all thought wrong, Tian Yunde’s serious illness had nothing to do with Rong’s at all, but was related to the trip across the state.

“How long did Tian Yunde stay in Yuezhou before he came back?”

Hong Shenjun was stunned, as if he did not expect Lin Chengyou to ask such a question. He quickly flipped through the records with his stubby fingers, but luckily he had verified Tian Yunde’s whereabouts.

“Oh, he left on the 27th of August and came back on the 7th of October.”

Lin Chengyou lowered his eyes and said, “It’s only forty days. From Chang’an to Yuezhou, it takes less than twenty days. Since Tian Yunde has to Buying Liaoling, why did he return as soon as he arrived in Yuezhou? How long did it take him to go to Yuezhou in previous years, has Hong Canjun checked it?”

“This…” Hong Canjun’s broad face showed a hint of embarrassment, ” I’m humble and stupid, I didn’t ask Tian Yunde’s visit to Yuezhou in previous years.”

“But…” He thought for a while, “When I went to the store for questioning, I heard a guy in the store say, ‘Rong died like this in this way. The backyard is really scaring people to death. Fortunately, the main family came back early, otherwise the business in the store would not have been able to do.’ It can be seen that Tian Yunde came back earlier than in previous years.”

Lin Chengyou knocked on the table casually. Mrs. Rong died on the second day of the first year, and Tian Yunde came back on the seventh day. The news of the death could not reach Tian Yunde’s ears so quickly. He could only return early for other reasons.

Could it be that Tian Yunde encountered something in Yuezhou, or someone? This accident not only stopped him from buying fabrics, but also made him sick after returning to Chang’an.

To make a middle-aged man panic to such a degree, that event/that person must be no trivial matter.

Hong Canjun added: “Tian Yunde died after being ill for two months. The cause of his death was aggravation of the head wind. Before that, two well-known medical workers took turns to diagnose him, and both of them could testify. After the autopsy, the county also said that The cause of Tian Yunde’s death is not suspicious.”

“Where’s Qi’s family?”

“She hanged herself at night on the third day after Tian Yunde’s death.” Hong Shenjun looked slightly different, “Before hanging herself, she wrote a strange letter. ”

Where is the letter?”

Hong Canjun hurriedly took out a piece of paper from underneath.

Yan Si moved the candle in front of him, and at a glance, he felt the chills on the back of his neck stand up. The paper was densely packed with words, and every line was the same thing: I am a dog, not worthy to live; I am a dog, not worthy to live…

Lin Chengyou stared He read the words on the letter: “Have you checked the handwriting?”

“Have checked, it is indeed Qi’s handwriting.”

Lin Chengyou turned over to read the back of the letter again, thinking of Qi’s as a person, she wanted to wake her up and write such a message. A letter, I am afraid it is more difficult than going to the sky.

But if one can do sorcery, that’s another story.

Lin Chengyou raised his eyes: “Hong Canjun kept this letter.
