Attack Jade (攻玉) - Chapter 90

[Chapter 60 [One more] Teng Yuyi is bragging…]

Lin Chengyou and Yan Sizhi came out of the prison one after the other.

Yan Sizhi frowned: “I didn’t expect to talk about this, this person still refuses to speak.”

Lin Chengyou is calm, but if you pretend to be a person again, your eyes will always reveal clues. His eyes told him that even if he didn’t make up his mind, at least he was shaken, and he just needed to add more fire.

“I’ll have someone send Zhuang Mu some wine and food later, let him smell it and leave. Take turns, don’t let him idle.”

Yan Sizhi doubted the letter: “This person is as stubborn as a stone, this method works. Is it?”

“It’s always right to try.” Lin Chengyou smiled, “When a person has the idea of death, wine and food can’t impress him, but once he wants to live, and then faces these delicious and fine wines, he can’t stand it for a moment. Yes. I guess it will last until the night, he will definitely let people find me.”

Yan Sizhi was stunned, and Lin Chengyou said again: “By the way, Brother Yan, I have to go out.”

“Go to Rong Anbo Mansion? Wait a minute, I’ll go to the duty room to change clothes.” Yan Sizhi rubbed his face, trying to refresh himself.

Lin Chengyou paused: “Brother Yan was busy all night last night, go back to rest early.”

Yan Sizhi waved his hand: “It’s okay, there are many tricky things in this case, one more person to help check the scene can also help More opportunities to find clues.”

Lin Chengyou didn’t follow up, Yan Sizhi was diligent and honest, it was common for him to stay in the yamen for several days in a row to investigate a case, and it might not work if he refused to let him go, so he smiled: “This case involves Ordinary people may not be able to see the clues of evil spirits and sorcery. I invited the Taoist priest of Dongmingguan to go with me to Chun’an Lane to have a look. Brother Yan doesn’t have to run again. Go to Zheng Pushe.”

“Zheng Pushe?”

“Shu Liniang is a woman raised by Zheng Pushe outside. Others don’t know her date of birth and her past life in her hometown, but Zheng Pushe knows a little bit.” Lin Chengyou said, “After the murderer murdered in Tongzhou, he rushed to the city again. When I went to Chang’an to commit the crime, the first person I started was Shu Liniang, I have to figure out why the murderer chose her.”

Lin Chengyou could do both of these things in person, and outsiders could not intervene if they wanted to help, Yan Sizhi asked with a wry smile. As he spoke, there was a yamen outside looking for him: “Lin Pingshi, two small priests are here.”

Lin Chengyou left the Dali Temple, and if he saw the Qingyun Temple’s chariot in front of the door, Juesheng and Qizhi were standing beside the car. There is also a young gentleman beside him.

“Senior brother.” Jue Sheng Qizhi ran to the front, tiptoed and said a few words in his ear.

Du Shaotang? Lin Chengyou looked at Xiao Langjun opposite in surprise.

Du Shaotang was inevitably a little embarrassed, but remembering Cousin Yu’s instructions, he quietly straightened his spine, cleared his throat, and crossed his hands to salute Lin Chengyou: “Tang, Tang is looking for the prince in an urgent matter, and he also asked the prince to take a step to speak.”

Lin Chengyou knew it. There is a difference: “Then get in the car and talk.”

Unexpectedly, when the curtain was lifted, he saw the food boxes of the small half-car, one box on top of another, and the couch on one side was full.

“What is this?” Lin Chengyou looked back at Juesheng and Jizhi.

Because Qizhi and Juesheng accepted Teng Yuyi’s gift without authorization, their hearts were a little empty, and they smiled embarrassingly: “Miss Teng gave us snacks.”

Qizhi hurriedly added: “Miss Teng liked the Sanqing cake we made. , if you want to return the gift, Jue Sheng and I are too embarrassed to accept it…”

Lin Chengyou looked at the pile of dim sum without saying a word, guessing that it was given by Teng Yuyi, so many return gifts could not have been prepared temporarily in the morning, it is estimated that Knowing that Juesheng and Qizhi love to eat snacks, they have already planned to give them food. I can give so much as soon as I give it away, and I am not afraid of choking on the holy and abandoned wisdom.

Jue Sheng and Qi Zhi were afraid that their senior brothers would scold them, so they were busy saying something to make up for it, but Lin Chengyou put down the curtain and said to Du Shaotang with a smile, “Young Master Tang, come here and talk.”

When they reached a secluded corner, Du Shaotang explained the whole thing one by one.

Lin Chengyou was stunned. The reason why he was sure that Hu Ji was really assassinated was because only sorcery could make people suddenly lose their soul and soul. However, after asking Hu Jizhen’s relatives and friends, they all said that Hu Jizhen was very similar to his father, Hu Dingbao. , temperate and upright, never enmity with others. That is, when inquiring about Hu Jizhen’s recent abnormality, Hu Jizhen’s friends all mentioned Lu Zhaoan.

Several friends said that Hu Jizhen had a high regard for Lu Zhaoan a few days ago, but then I don’t know what happened, and when I saw Lu Zhaoan again, he had a cold eyebrow, and it looked like he had made a grudge with Lu Zhaoan overnight.

It just so happened that he had been investigating Lu Zhaoan about the tree demon, so he followed this clue to investigate. Coincidentally, at the two hours when Hu Jizhen’s accident, Lu Zhaoan had a banquet at the nearby British government, and he was freed from slavery after the incident. It made people secretly inquire, whether it is the servants of the British government or the guests who attended the banquet that day, they are not sure that Lu Zhaoan has been at the table.

Assuming that the person who killed Young Master Hu that day was Lu Zhaoan, who was the other person? Not long after Lu Zhaoan came to Chang’an, he expected that there were not many close friends. Who would someone like him discuss “big things” with… And this matter seems to be invisible. killer.

Lin Chengyou pondered it over and over, and his heart suddenly moved, why don’t you take a look at the list of the guests who attended the banquet in the British government that day?

He quickly made up his mind, looked at Du Shaotang and said, “Thank you, Mr. Tang for coming here to tell you about this. There is something to remind Mr. Tang that Lu Zhaoan is an unfathomable person, so don’t ask him about him in the future. , If you think of something or hear something, you can send someone a message in private.”

Du Shaotang felt a big event in his heart, and he was secretly sighing, after hearing this, he wiped his sweat again, nodded and said yes.

Lin Chengyou turned to look at Juesheng and Qizhi: “Are you two doing nothing to do?”

Jue Sheng Yi sneered: “Actually, I was a little busy. I was going to go to Shanhailou to eat with Mrs. Teng, but she took the post temporarily and went with Mrs. Du to Yuzhen Nuguan to watch flowers, and we started from Teng. The mansion is out, and I plan to send the dim sum back to Guanli to find my brother.”

Lin Chengyou said, “Okay, don’t worry about your dim sum, you should send Mr. Tang home first, and then go to Kuangnu, I’ll tell you. Tell him, let him take you with you today. Put the dim sum in Chengwang’s mansion first, and then send it back to Guanli in the evening.”

After saying this, Lin Chengyou returned to the door and asked to lead the horse.

Jue Sheng followed behind and asked, “Senior brother is going to handle the case?”

Qizhi returned to the car early to get a box of snacks, ran over and handed it to Lin Chengyou: “Senior brother, haven’t you eaten breakfast yet? Take this box, When I go back and feel hungry, I can pamper my stomach.”

“I already had breakfast.” Lin Chengyou got on his horse, “Besides, I don’t like to eat this.”

After saying that, he walked away, not far away, Ma Er After running back, Lin Chengyou reined in the reins and said to Juesheng Qizhi, who was about to get on the car, and said, “Bring it.” Juesheng and Qizhi

looked at each other blankly: “What?”

“Dim sum Ah. The prisoner was tried in the morning, and he seems to be a little hungry again.”

Jue Sheng and Qi Zhi snorted, and Pi Dian Pi Dian got into the car and took a few boxes down.

Lin Chengyou looked at it immediately: “Open it and let me see.”

“This is Yulu Dumpling, this is Touhua glutinous rice cake, this is golden bell roast, this is single-cage golden custard…everything is delicious, Brother, which box do you want to eat?”

“Only these four kinds?” Lin Chengyou looked at the cart, “Nothing else?”

Juesheng and Qizhi were stunned: “No, these four are me and Qizhi. Zhi’s favorite food, Mrs. Teng only made these kinds.”

Sure enough, there were no flower cakes. Lin Chengyou thought about it, no, no, he was just a little curious, that day Teng Yuyi said that the best dessert in Jiangnan was the flower cake she made, whether it was bragging or a fact.

Probably bragging.

“Forget it.” Lin Chengyou, “These snacks are too boring, you can keep them for yourself. The two Taoist priests, Jiantian and Jianxi, are still waiting for senior brothers in Xinghualou. It’s not bad for me to have breakfast there. Go first, you remember to find Kuan slave early.”

Saying that, shaking the reins, one person and one ride quickly disappeared at the end of the alley. Jue Sheng and Qi Zhi held the lacquer box and stayed in the same place dumbfounded. After a while, they didn’t see their senior brother returning, only to realize that the senior brother had really left this time.

Yuzhen Nuguan Guan is located in Fuxing Square, not far from the new sites of Chun’an County Palace and Qingyun Temple.

It is said that the neighboring square is the Qingyun Temple, and behind the west wall is the palace of the prince.

When they arrived at the gate of the Yuzhen Women’s Crown, the sisters opened the window and looked out. They saw fresh cars and horses in front of the gate.

Teng Yuyi raised his hand and knocked on the wall of the car: ” Duanfu.” Duanfu replied

in a low voice, “Madam, don’t worry.”

Beside her, she needs to think of other ways. She knows that no matter how strict the precautions are, it will not be difficult to end the blessing. Reminding Duanfu in advance is nothing more than letting him prepare early with his guards.

There were several female Taoist priests waiting at the door, and seeing the guard beside Teng Yuyi really showed an embarrassed look, although the words were graceful, the meaning of rejection was obvious.

Teng Yuyi smiled and said, “It’s okay, I’ll just tell them to wait outside.”

Then he winked at Duanfu, causing Duanfu to lead the guards back far away.

The female Taoist then led the two sisters into the view.

Teng Yuyi looked around as he walked, and saw only Yaoying and Jinzhu, towering pines and cypresses, lush trees and trees, and the courtyard was full of fresh air.

This place is exactly the same as her memory. She remembered that the first time she came to Yuzhen Nuguan Guan in her previous life was when she was invited to participate in the poetry meeting hosted by the queen. Only when she arrived at Yuzhen Nu Guanguan did she know that the poetry meeting was nominally about fighting poems and admiring flowers. In fact, he chooses relatives for the children of the clan.

It was on that time that she met the Queen and Princess Cheng, and while walking through the garden, she saw Lin Chengyou and the Crown Prince and other clan children.

She picked it out in her heart, and felt that Lin Chengyou was not bad, plus Duan Ningyuan and Duan Ningyuan had not long since resigned from their relationship, so she decided to take this opportunity to choose a marriage of her liking, so she deliberately displayed it at the poetry meeting. Outstanding.

This effort was not in vain, and the Queen and Princess Cheng really took her portrait and asked Lin Chengyou.

She thought she would be sure, but in exchange for Lin Chengyou’s merciless “don’t marry”.

Thinking of this, Teng Yuyi clicked her head and shook her head, making a mistake, it was a mistake. Fortunately, no one in this life knew about it, otherwise it would be disgraced.

If she had known that Lin Chengyou had been caught with that strange poison, she would never have gone to join in the fun that day, no, even if he was not poisoned, with his arrogant temperament, the fairies in the sky may not be able to catch the eye, and that dream is also It just confirmed this speculation that Lin Chengyou did not marry a wife until three years later, indicating that he never found a “fairy” that satisfied him.

Du Tinglan noticed that something was wrong with Teng Yuyi. Seeing her shaking her head and sighing, she couldn’t help but wonder, “What’s wrong with you?”

“Forget it.” Teng Yuyi sighed, “I remember a stupid thing I did before.”

Du Tinglan laughed Get up: “I didn’t know you did something stupid, tell me what’s the matter?”

“Don’t mention it, don’t mention it.” Teng Yuyi waved her hand, “It’s not a good thing, sister, don’t ask.

” When they arrived at the Yunhui Hall in Xiyuan, the two sisters entered the Moon Cave Gate, and they heard laughter in the hall from far away, the female Taoist priest in charge of leading the way smiled and said, “The flowers have been blooming well in the temple these few days. Madam and the little lady came to enjoy the flowers, and today because Erniang Wu presided over the flower viewing, there were especially many little ladies who came.”
