Attack Jade (攻玉) - Chapter 80

[Chapter 51: Where did Shizi go last night?]

Teng Yuyi ordered the maids to retreat, leaving only Cheng Bo and Duan Fu at the door.

“Shizi, tonight that powerful ghost came uninvited, and I wondered if there would be any other reason.”

Lin Chengyou: “What do you think?” “The

Dryad that time I heard the Saint Trail Chief say that the Tree Demon was obsessed with the skin bag of the beauty, and was extremely picky before starting to use it, in addition to selecting the woman’s appearance, she would also pay attention to whether the woman’s skin was damaged, but before Sister A entered the bamboo forest that time, she accidentally cut through the palm of the embroidery because of the ribbon cutting.”

Du Tinglan spread his palms, “This is the wound I was on at that time, and I asked Shizi to look over.” Teng Yuyi added

: “This wound is not shallow, Sister A did not completely stop bleeding when she entered the woods, the sense of smell of the monster is very sensitive, you can smell the smell of blood from a long distance, the theory is that it is not in line with Sister A’s skin bag, but it ambushed the cousin, and according to the cousin’s hindsight, the tree demon should have been lurking in the forest for a long time, and the action was not covetous of her skin bag, just to take her life.” This is strange, whether sister in Yangzhou or Chang’an, has never had a vendetta against anyone, and the only one who can be counted as having a festival is Lu Zhaoan.
Lin Chengyou already knew
these things, he would make people stalk Lu Zhaoan, in addition to the fact that this person may be harmful to people’s hearts, he was also curious about how Lu Zhaoan manipulated the Tree Demon.

Unfortunately, after staring at it for almost a month, Lu Zhaoan did not show his horse’s feet, until a while ago, Hu Jizhen suddenly lost a soul, and things took a turn.

“Shizi should have been aware of it a long time ago, these days I also sent someone to spy on Lu Zhaoan, and the day before yesterday I heard that a Hu Gongzi suddenly fell ill, and I was even more suspicious of Lu Zhaoan.”

Teng Yuyi told lu zhao’an about the situation that night when he only cared about his own life.

Lin Chengyou raised his eyebrows, as it turned out, he had already guessed whether Hu Ji really knew lu Zhao’an’s secrets, and even chengyou thought that there was still this public case.

“You already knew about this?”

Teng Yuyi nodded, “Hu Gongzi almost lost his life on the spot, I thought he would definitely publicize this matter everywhere, but even if he was silent, the parties themselves did not expose Lu Zhaoan’s true face, and I was not good at crossing the line.” Then not long after, I heard that Hu Gongzi had a strange illness, Shizi, don’t you think that the timing of Hu Gongzi’s illness is too coincidental?

“So you suspect that Lu Zhao’an caused it?”

Teng Yuyi: “The imperial court will soon hold a system, and Lu Zhaoan’s affair with the Zheng family is undecided, just at these two points, it is not surprising that Lu Zhaoan will take risks.” Now Hu Jizhen is sick, and there is another person who knows Lu Zhaoan’s bottom line, that is, my sister, tonight the female ghost inexplicably found the Teng Mansion, it happened that Sister Ah lived in the house, I have reason to suspect that this female ghost was brought by Lu Zhaoan. This

last sentence is a bit far-fetched, but in this way, why she has hit ghosts one after another can also be explained.

Lin Chengyou laughed, Teng Yuyi seemed to be afraid of carrying the reputation of “unlucky ghost”, but she did not forget why the corpse evil suddenly targeted her, it is still a mystery.

However, when she said this, she could barely say it, borrowing the ghost to get rid of the people who wanted to get rid of it, and the murderer could retreat with his whole body.

Teng Yuyi saw the smile in Lin Chengyou’s black eyes, and knew that he still had some doubts in his heart, but even if he did not fully accept this statement, he could not deny that there was such a possibility.

“You’ve removed your men.” He looked at her for a moment and said, “Lu Zhaoan is very vigilant, too many people staring at him will hit the grass and startle the snake.”

Teng Yuyi said busily, “Well, I’ll let them stop following tomorrow.”

Lin Chengyou gave a meal and promised to be so happy, he was actually a little uncomfortable. Except for the time when they jointly dealt with the corpse evil, it was rare to see Teng Yuyi willing to obediently cooperate with himself.

“In addition, I would also like to ask Lady Du to hand over to me the letter that Lu Zhao’an wrote to you at that time, and if Lu Zhao’an had used something like a cinnabar charm, there would have been some traces left on the letter, and I have to determine whether he would be occult in the end.”

Du Tinglan and Teng Yuyi glanced at each other, although Lin Chengyou never flaunted his own conduct, sometimes even a little stingy, but the last time Grandpa went to QingyunGuan to inform Lin Chengyou of the truth, Chang’an did not spread a rumor that was not half unfavorable to the Du family, it can be seen that Lin Chengyou must do what he says, saying that if he does not leak it, he will never leak it.

“Well, tomorrow I’ll give it to Shizi.” Du Tinglan’s tone was full of gratitude.

Teng Yuyi took the opportunity to say: “I don’t trust Sister A to go back to the house to live, but I don’t understand Taoism, even if there is Xiao Ya Sword to protect, I am still tired of dealing with the powerful ghosts who meet the Dao Xinggao, last time the two Small Dao Chiefs gave me a lot of charms, but it seems to be of no use, I am afraid that in a few days there will be some people who will lure the ghosts to the Teng Mansion ——”

She said, naturally pointing to the bell on the wrist: “Xuan Yin bell still can’t be taken down, I am worried that it will alarm Shizi again, with the formation to resist, it will not disturb people’s dreams late at night.”

Lin Chengyou had guessed that she had bothered to entertain him for this, but her words were exactly what he wanted, because he was also annoyed with the bell.

In addition, he was also curious about whether Teng Yuyi’s small courtyard would be strange, it was not easy to manipulate such a powerful ghost, and even the most cautious people would leave traces nearby, Teng Yuyi said so, he looked out of the window with the trend: “Bu Fa Fa, it is not difficult, but I still have one thing to understand, Lady Teng called out the people in the palace, I want to take a good look.”

Before Teng Yuyi could be happy, his mind buzzed a little, and Lin Chengyou suspected that there were thieves in Teng Mansion.

Fortunately, Lin Chengyou finished checking the people in the house, and did not find anything wrong, the next step was to arrange the formation, and it took a lot of work, and when Lin Chengyou was busy, the sky was exposed to the white belly of the fish.

Teng Yuyi was busy ordering Cheng Bo to carefully prepare breakfast, and the people under Teng Mansion were surprisingly fast, and in the blink of an eye, they presented a table of good things.

Lin Chengyou was going to leave, and when he saw this battle, Teng Yuyi seemed to be eager to take out a hundred times his heart to entertain, and there were soup noodles in both the north and south of the table.

So many things Teng Yuyi and Du Tinglan could not finish eating, what a pity to waste, he shook his head darkly, and had to reluctantly stay for breakfast.

Breakfast was set up in the flower hall, and a screen was set up in the hall, Lin Chengyou sat outside the screen, and Teng Yuyi and Du Tinglan sat in the screen.

Lin Chengyou thought when he lifted the basket, it seemed that he had not eaten such a grand breakfast for a long time.

In the past six months, the grandmother and the second brother were not in Chang’an, and the little sister was reading with her in the palace, and there was a large chengwang palace, often only him, sometimes busy with eliminating the secret or investigating the case, simply buying a piece of hu cake in the fang market to fill the hunger. Even if you have breakfast in the Chengwang Mansion, you can eat very casually.

Teng Yuyi and Du Tinglan were extremely polite when eating, and the half-bowl in the screen did not hear the sound of the bowl, and overheard Du Tinglan whispering: “This eating is good for your body, don’t pick it out.”

Lin Chengyou secretly thought, Teng Yuyi sometimes really has a childlike mentality, and voila, they are so old and picky eaters.

He quickly ran out of it, and before leaving, he glanced at the screen: “This array of fa is only located around Tengfu, I can’t guarantee anything when the formation is out, these days and nights you and your sister had better not walk around.”

Teng Yuyi stood behind the screen and congratulated her grandfather: “You walk slowly.” Rest assured, we will never run around at night.

Lin Chengyou walked to the door, and saw the rising sun, and the light sky was shining a bright orange, which was simply cute.

When he went down the steps, his pace unconsciously lightened a few points, it was strange to say, he had been busy for half a night, he didn’t feel tired at all, and he thought about it for a while, it was estimated that it was because of the fire jade ling root soup he drank last time and the residual medicinal effect.

Arriving at the gate of Teng Mansion, Cheng Bo had already prepared the horse.

Lin Chengyou saidWith a word of thanks, he drove his horse to the Chengwang Mansion.

Chang Tong and Kuan Nu were busy inquiring about the whereabouts of the little master, and when they saw Lin Chengyou return, they were overjoyed.

“Where did Shizi go last night?” Kuan Nu complained, “The little man went to the Eastern Ming Temple to find the five Dao Chiefs, and when he returned, he was gone.” Commander

Chang also sighed, “When Shizi left, he actually said hello to the little people.”

Lin Chengyou threw the reins to the servants waiting at the door, smiled and said, “Sorry, there was another place where it was haunted last night, I was in too much of a hurry to tell you.” By the way, how was the five lanes over there last night? “There

are currently three Daoist chiefs recuperating from their wounds in the temple, and they are the little people received by the two Daoist chiefs, Miki and Miten, who have received the gold of the shizi and gone to the nunnery with their eyebrows open and smiling.”

Chang Commander looked at Lin Chengyou’s look, Xiao Shizi’s long eyebrows stretched, and he caught the ghost for half a night, and his appearance was surprisingly good.

“Is It okay for Setsuko to eat too early?”

Lin Chengyou said nonchalantly, “It has been used.” So

early?

Lin Chengyou glanced at Chang Rong and Kuan Nu and stepped into the mansion with one foot: “Hu Cake Shop casually bought a piece of Hu Cake.” ”

There is a mustache shop that opens so early? Chang Tong looked at the little master’s back, did not ask any more questions, only secretly planned to let the chef make some more dumplings, and suddenly remembered a serious thing: “By the way, Dali Temple just now there are servants to come to Shizi, saying please Shizi to go to Dali Temple quickly.”

“What?”

“He said he sent a strange female corpse.”

Lin Chengyou was stunned, striding back to the backyard, making people prepare a bath, changing into official clothes after bathing, and driving the horse to Dali Temple.

It was still early, there were not many carriages in front of the Dali Temple, Lin Chengyou went straight through the middle hall and went inside, and Yan Wanchun, who was in charge of the duty last night, greeted him.

Yan Ji looked much paler than usual, and he didn’t know if he was too tired or frightened.

“Lin Comment, quickly follow Yan to the morgue.”

Lin Chengyou had never seen Yan Jizhi lose his mind like this, and couldn’t help but wonder, “What kind of corpse?” Something’s wrong?

Yan Ji wiped his cold sweat: “I know at a glance, Shizi only inquired last night,”

When he arrived at the door of the morgue, Lin Chengyou smelled a thick breath before he entered, which was the unique breath of a powerful ghost, pushed the door open and entered, he saw a corpse on the corpse bed, the corpse was covered with a white cloth, and from the shape, it should be a female corpse.

Lin Chengyou walked to the corpse bed, raised his hand and lifted the white cloth, although he was prepared in his heart, he was still surprised, and what came into his eyes was a familiar face, which was the female ghost who broke into the Teng Mansion last night.

He quickly moved his gaze downwards, and sure enough, he saw the wound on the woman’s abdomen.

Yan Sizhi did not hold back, turned his head and vomited, knowing that he was out of shape, and tried his best to restrain himself: “When Shizi inquired about the case in Tongzhou yesterday, Yan Mou did not think so, and only after seeing the woman’s corpse did he know how cruel the murderer was.” Such a small fetus can not survive stealing out, why did the murderer do this?

Lin Chengyou’s face was not very good,000, but he knew that the more such a murderous case, the more he had to carefully examine the corpse, and when he looked closely, he found that the woman’s wounds were messy and disorderly, not as if they had been cut by a sharp blade, but like they had been torn apart by someone’s bare hands.

“This is a corpse sent from the same state?”

Yan Wanchun was embarrassed: “No, this woman is a Chang’an person, named Shu Liniang, who is only twenty years old this year, and lives in Chun’an Lane in Chonghuafang——”

Before he finished speaking, there was a noise outside, and the servants shouted outside: “Yan Sizhi, last night was your duty, fa cao of the same prefecture government personally sent the case, and the victim’s body is now in the hall.” It’s a couple, hey, come out and see, the death is too tragic. Lin Chengyou glanced

at Yan Wanchun and walked quickly to the door.

Ya Gong coldly saw Lin Chengyou and was stunned: “Did Shizi rest in the Yamen last night, or did he come early in the morning?”

Lin Chengyou was idle: “What is sent is a couple?” How did he die? Ya

Gong fought a cold war: “That wife was cut alive and died.”

Lin Chengyou froze for a moment, and Yan Wanchun was also shocked: “It turns out that the story of Shizi is actually true.” Is this the same person doing this…”

Lin Chengyou went straight around the servant and went outside: “I didn’t see Tongzhou hand over the file two days ago, so why did you directly transport the corpse?” Ya

Gong also tended to keep up with Lin Chengyou: “Listening to Fa Cao, the local state government was originally trying to track down the murderer, but there was a sudden ghost in the Yamen, and everyone who had seen the ghost said that it was the wronged soul of the couple, and the state government was afraid that this case was not simple, so it had to ask Fa Cao to send the couple’s corpse to Chang’an.” ”
