Attack Jade (攻玉) - Chapter 89

[Chapter 59]
Teng Yuyi smiled in surprise: “For me? Opening the
lacquer box, a hot white gas rose in front of it, the box was full of it, filled with round and rolling dim sum, the dim sum seemed to be mixed with grass juice, the dough was faintly twisted, but unfortunately the shape of the dumplings was a little messy, either too cramped or too drummed.
Ren Zhi was a little embarrassed: “This is the Sanqing cake in our temple, I got up early in the morning to make it, the dough was not kneaded well enough, but the taste was very good.” Du Niangzi, this box is for you. “Me
too?” Du Tinglan smiled and took it.
The Absolute Saint was full of pride: “The formula of these three cakes was handed down by Shi Gong’s Shi Gong, and a few flavors of spirit herbs were added to it, which is beneficial to the effect of strengthening the qi, and every spring and summer, Shi Gong will instruct Guan Li to make a few spares, and eat them very effectively.” We also mixed a lot of Lingsha in the filling, but it was sweet and sweet, and Lady Teng and Lady Du were frightened these days, and they wouldn’t have nightmares after eating this night.
Teng Yuyi looked at the dim sum without speaking, and through the sweet heat, it was as if he saw the two hot hearts of the Absolute Saint and the Renunciation Of Wisdom.
She closed her eyes and sniffed, sighing, “Just smelling the taste will tell how delicious it is.” Spring velvet, quickly take these food boxes to the flower hall, I will not eat anything else for breakfast, I will eat the snacks made by our trail chief.
Absolute Saint and Ren zhi were very happy, they didn’t expect Teng Niangzi to like it so much, it seemed that the idea of sending snacks was really correct.
In fact, until last night before going to bed, they did not think about what gifts to bring to Teng Mansion tomorrow, Teng Niangzi specially invited them to eat delicious food, they are always good at empty-handed door, the two lay on the bed in the house to discuss, one will say to draw some charms to Teng Niangzi, one will explain that the day is now to buy some rouge gouache, who knows at this time, the master brother suddenly returned to Guanli, perhaps heard what they said, he passed by the corridor and said casually: “The rouge gouache you bought, Do people dare to use it? Isn’t she very fond of snacks, and it is not always troublesome to make some three cakes. The
Absolute Saint and the Renunciation Ran Out of the House, the Master and Brother had already left, the lights in the prayer hall were still on, but the door was locked. There were hidden records of different zhi and various Taoist texts, and usually whenever the master and brother encountered difficult things, they would go to them to seek answers.
The master brother looked back late at night to look through the hidden scrolls in the temple, and it seemed that he had encountered a difficult problem in the process of investigating and handling Zhuang Mu.
The two men opened the door and went in, and sure enough, there was one of the thickest alien records missing from the shelf.
When he got up early in the morning to make sanqing cakes, the master brother did not see Huiguanli, and he did not know whether he slept in the yamen last night, or returned to the Chengwang Mansion after completing the case.
The group went to the flower hall, and on the way, Teng Yuyi asked Chunrong: “Can Grandpa have an early meal?”
Chun Rong smiled and said, “The old man snoozes like a lady, and before dawn he leaves with an early meal.”
Teng Yuyi secretly wondered, Grandpa should be resting in these days, he was so busy early in the morning, it must have been last night’s conversation that played a role, so it couldn’t be better, Grandpa is a fierce person, make plans earlier, father and daughter will not be as secretly calculated as in the past life.
During breakfast, Teng Yuyi had a very good appetite and ate a number of Sanqing cakes in one go.
Du Tinglan also praised this snack.
Absolute Saint and Renunciation Wisdom were exaggerated and embarrassed, scratching their heads and asking, “There were no more evil spirits in the palace last night to disturb each other.”
“No, my sister and I slept soundly last night.” Teng Yuyi smiled, thought about it and then stepped back, “Did you see your brother in the morning, Zhuang Muke said why he was led to the back alley of the spice shop?” Absolute
Saint shook his head, “I didn’t see Master Brother in the morning, but Last night Master Brother came back for a trip, but he only took a copy of the Alien Zhi Record in guan li and left, and he didn’t even drink tea.” It should not have been very smooth in the trial, otherwise the master brother would have gone to catch the real murderer last night, and would not have run back to GuanLi so late.
Teng Yuyi: “Zhuang Mu still won’t say?”
Ren Zhi held his cheeks: “If I am Zhuang Mu, I know that I have been planted by the real murderer, and when I was caught yesterday, I told everything I knew, why did I keep my mouth shut?”
Du Tinglan interjected, “This person must have some concerns.” The
absolute saint was puzzled: “He has been caught by the Dali Temple, and if he refuses to confess, he will definitely be sentenced heavily, and the horizontal and vertical are all dead, so why bear the notoriety of a murderer for others?”
Teng Yu said thoughtfully, “Zhuang Muben is an outlaw, and a word ‘death’ may not be enough for him to be afraid of, but what if there is a greater calamity for him than ‘death’?” All
three at the table were stunned.
At this time, Cheng Bo led the cook’s subordinates in, each holding a lacquer box filled with various snacks, adding up to twenty boxes.
“Here’s the yogoku dough that’s the chief of the trail, and here are the other pastries that were newly made in the spring.” The kitchen lady smiled, and opened one box after another for Teng Yuyi to see, “Niangzi looks at it and sees that it is still satisfactory.”
Teng Yuyi carefully examined it and nodded with satisfaction: “Add a few more boxes of transparent flower fins, last time the trail chief came to the house did not do it, this time just invite them to taste the fresh.” The
Absolute Saint and the Fat Face of the Renunciation Couldn’t help but blush: “It’s all for us?” This is also too much, we can’t finish it. Lady Teng, you are too bothered. Teng Yuyi said that he would send the lacquer box to the calf cart of Qingyun Temple: “The
weather is still cool, the snacks can be saved, you take it back and put it away, eat slowly without fear of being bad.”
Abandoning Wisdom and Absolute Saint Zhao thanked him, and under the movement, a tube of purple milli was dropped from the sleeve of Abandoning Wisdom, and the body of the pipe was painted with glaze and bright, and at a glance, he knew that it was a superior product.
Teng Yuyi was surprised, and bent down to help Abandon Zhi pick up the pipe pen: “This is the birthday gift that you bought for your brother in Mozhai yesterday, right?”
Such a high-grade Zi Hao, let alone ten taels of money, the two little guys slammed the door on themselves, and they really cared about the matter of the master and brother.
“No, something like that happened yesterday, and we didn’t have time to choose a gift.” This is what Lady Li sent us.
Teng Yuyi and Du Tinglan glanced at each other: “Li Huaigu? The
Absolute Saint said at the side: “Yesterday those little ladies and little princes were not frightened, it was not early at that time, we sent them back to their respective homes by the way, this Li Third Lady lived the farthest, all the way down, there was only her left on the car, Li Third Lady chatted with us, saying that since hitting a ghost in the Misu River, sleeping restlessly at night, asking if we had any good methods, I and Abandoned Zhi gave her all the charms on my body.” Li San niangzi was very grateful, saying that she knew that the runes in our temple were very valuable, and she did not dare to collect the runes in vain, so she took out two tubes of pens bought in Mozhai and insisted on giving them to us.
Speaking of this, the Absolute Saint smiled: “Master Gong and his old man have always been very picky, and they have set rules very early, and all the incense money given by the donor on his own initiative must not be rejected.” We see that Li Niangzi is very good, and it is not a particularly valuable thing, so we will receive it. But in the morning, Renzhi consulted with me, saying that this money can not be taken to incense, unauthorized acceptance is always bad, take advantage of today’s outing, it is better to simply return it. If Lady Li Sanniang felt that she had received the charms in the temple, she would have gone too far, and she would have come to offer incense herself on another day.
Du Tinglan: “That’s the way it is.
Teng Yuyi lowered his eyelashes and took a sip of tea lightly.
At this time, Cheng Bo entered the flower hall: “Niangzi, the second lady of the martial family let people send posts.” ”
Wu Qi?”
Cheng Bo had a total of two gold posts in his hand, one for Teng Yuyi and one for Du Tinglan.
The sisters unfolded a look, it turned out that a few days ago, the peach blossoms of the Jade True Female Crown View had bloomed, and Wu Qi invited them to go to the guanli today to enjoy the flowers.
Cheng Bo said: “Yesterday the lady just left, this post was sent, originally the old slave was going to give it to the mother last night, and it was put aside to see the lady and the old man talking in the study.”
Teng Yuyi hesitated a little, it was nothing to go out to enjoy a flower during the day, but she promised to take Absolute Saint and Renzhi to Shanhai Lou for dinner today.
Cheng Bowensheng reminded: “Niangzi, Wu Erniang’s father Wu Ruyun was promoted to Yushi Zhongcheng (御史中丞), and Tongzhongshu Menxia Pingzhangshi (同中書門下平章事).
Teng Yuyi understood Cheng Bo’s meaning, Wu Rujun official worshiped the prime minister, Grandpa was a strong man on the side of Wei Zhen, in order not to arouse the suspicion of the imperial court, Teng Wu and the two families had no deep friendship, but it was always harmless for the two children to move around.
Du Tinglan also said: “After returning to Chang’an, you didn’t have a good time to relax, take this opportunity for our sisters to go out and play, it’s a big deal to come back early.” Teng Yu
looked at the Absolute Saint and Renunciation of Wisdom, and his heart was still struggling.
Absolute Saint and Renzhi also understood at this time, and said to Teng Yuyi, “Lady Teng, you go out to relax, just today we are going to stalk Lu Zhaoan, and we will eat together tomorrow.”
Teng Yuyi had no choice but to say, “Then tomorrow morning I will go directly to Qingyun Temple to pick you up?”
Absolute Saint and Renunciation Zhile said, “Good.
Teng Yuyi handed the post to Cheng Bo: “Say back that we are going to the appointment.”
As soon as
Cheng Bo left, the maid under the corridor said, “The Grand Duke has come.” Before the
words could be heard, Du Shaotang stepped into the flower hall with one foot.
When he was eleven years old, when he was growing tall, Du Shaotang was thin and thin, wearing a spring water green round neck shirt, which looked like a thin willow from a distance, and it was good to wear a head, otherwise he would have been mistaken for a little lady.
Du Shaotang looked at the Absolute Saint and Renunciation Wisdom in the Flower Hall and showed a surprised look: “Xiao Dao Chief?
Du Tinglanqi said, “Why did you come here early in the morning, and today Guozijian can’t go to school?” “The
master takes ten days off, so he doesn’t have to go to class for two days.” Du Shaotang met with absolute saints and abandoned wisdom, and as soon as he sat down, he said, “Jade cousin, yesterday I-”
looked at absolute saints and abandoned wisdom, and hesitated whether to say it.
Teng Yuyi said busily, “The two trail chiefs are not outsiders, so if you have anything to say, just say it.”
Du Shaotang spoke: “Yesterday I was at home, so I bought some things to visit Ji Zhen in Hu Province, and when I left, I took Big Brother Huoqiu with me, and I also brought this one that my jade cousin gave me-”
He took out the bald pen of Dongmingguan and showed it to everyone.
“Hu Fu saw me coming alone, but this time he allowed me to enter the inner courtyard to visit Ji Zhen, but he still didn’t let me into the back room, only saying that Ji Zhen’s appearance was too frightening, afraid of scaring me.” I sat in the outhouse for a while, secretly thinking that ji was really sick in bed for a while, and I must have looked forward to my friends from the same window to visit him, knowing that I was coming, maybe I was very happy. I said outside the curtain, ‘Ji Zhen, I’m Shao Tang, I’ve come to see you, are you better?’ Then I heard—”
Du Shaotang’s voice trembled: “I heard a strange voice shouting in the back room: ‘Don’t come here, I haven’t seen anything.'” The voice was sharp and hoarse, and I almost didn’t hear ji Zhen’s voice. After a while, Old Master Hu and Lady Hu came out, and Mrs. Hu’s face was full of tears, and Old Master Hu’s face was also very ugly, and he came out and said to me: ‘There is no disease in the dog, and please du Gongzi Haihan.’ I dared to stay any longer, and I was busy saying goodbye. The
more the Absolute Saint and renunciation of wisdom listened, the more surprised they became, and when the master brother talked to them about Hu Jizhen yesterday, he only said that Hu Jizhen had become a fool because he had lost a soul, and the master brother went to the Hu Mansion several times in a row, but he could not hear only a few words from Hu Jizhen’s mouth. Unexpectedly, Du Gongzi went, and Hu Jizhen actually had such a big reaction.
However, if you think about it, Hu Jizhen is not familiar with his brother, but Du Gongzi is a good friend of Hu Jizhen, hearing the voice of the former window, Hu Gongzi’s remaining soul has been sensed, and it is not strange that a little vague memory is ticked out.
“‘Don’t come here, I haven’t seen anything’-” Zhi Zhi chewed this sentence in his mouth, “Hu Gongzi shouted like this?”
Du Shaotang nodded with some trepidation.
Teng Yuyi was shocked and suspicious, she already knew that Hu Ji’s illness was strange, according to this situation, Hu Ji really seemed to have broken something before being assassinated.
Although there are only two short sentences, it may prove that Hu Gongzi knew the danger before the accident, he knew that the other party would not let him go, and he could only say such words to protect himself in a hurry, but it was obvious that the other party did not have a soft heart.
“Haven’t you brothers been investigating this?” Teng Yuyi turned to Absolute Saint Renunciation, “Where Hu Jizhen went before the accident and who he saw, you will know if you check it.” When Master Brother talked about Hu Ji’s
real strange illness yesterday, he mentioned that Lady Teng had been investigating Lu Zhao’an, but as long as they kept an eye on Lu Zhao’an, Master Brother did not say that they wanted them to keep their mouths shut in front of Lady Teng.
Today, Du Gongzi has made a new discovery, so there is no need to hide from Lady Teng.
They told everything about Hu Jizhen’s itinerary on the day of the accident.
“For two hours on that day, Hu Gongzi’s whereabouts were unknown, and it happened that Lu Zhaoan was attending a banquet at the British government, but there was no way to prove that Hu Gongzi had gone to lu Zhaoan before the accident.”
Teng Yuyi glanced at Du Tinglan, Lu Zhaoan was too cautious, obviously he had found his head, but he still couldn’t catch the real handle.
Du Shaotang interjected, “Even if Ji Zhen breaks something, he won’t be killed like this, is there a greater crime than killing people?”
“Presumably it’s a deadly handle.” Teng Yu thought with a straight face, “Once the wind leaks, the murderer himself will encounter a catastrophe, but the killing is too obvious, it is better to turn Hu Jizhen into a fool, this disease is similar to the phlegm obsession, for a moment and a half will not be able to find anything, if it were not for Lin Chengyou who had secretly stalked Lu Zhaoan long ago, and thus became suspicious of Hu Ji’s real illness, this matter may not have followed.”
Du Shaotang froze for a moment, and then said indignantly: “I still can’t figure it out, Hu Jizhen is not a person with many mouths and many tongues, even if he sees something, he may not be able to publicize it everywhere, why should that person hurt the killer.” “What
if he bumps into Lu Zhao’an and kills someone?” Teng Yuyi said coldly, “Will Hu Gongzi also be stuffy in his stomach and not say?” The
crowd was horrified.
Du Tinglan thought for a while and said with trepidation: “Hu Gongzi said ‘you’, if this is the last sentence he shouted before the accident, will Hu Gongzi see more than one person at that time?” The
Absolute Saint returned to God: “Oh yes, otherwise I wouldn’t have said ‘you’, assuming one of them is Lu Zhao’an, and who is the other?”
Teng Yu looked at the jasmine petals in the cup, interesting, Lu Zhaoan’s trip to the water seems to be deeper than he expected, the death of his sister in the past life, the strange illness of Hu Gongzi in this life, innumerable wisps, the fog is heavy, the more you look down, the more people are shocked. If Hu Gongzi was really harmed by Lu Zhao’an, who was the person who was with him at that time? It can make people kill on the spot, and the thing that Hu Gongzi saw was absolutely not trivial.
“You have to tell your brother about this quickly.” Teng Yuyi put down the tea cup and said, “Shao Tang, you also go, this matter is very important, you told Lin Chengyou what you saw and heard in Hu Mansion yesterday.” ”
Zhi hesitated: “But Master Brother is busy investigating the cases of pregnant women today, and we may not be able to see him.”
“Then wait outside the Dali Temple.” Teng Yu was worried that he would never let Lu Zhaoan know that Shao Tang was investigating him, so he said to Du Shaotang, “I will first let Cheng Bo give you a change of appearance, and Huo Qiu will not fall.”
Without further ado, the three brothers and sisters returned to the inner courtyard, and Cheng Bo took out a few pairs of fake beards from the storeroom to help Du Shaotang change his appearance, he was a good hand in this regard, but the work of a cup of tea made Du Shaotang’s face change its appearance.
After getting it right, Teng Yuyi and Du Tinglan paced around Du Shaotang, their mouths were amazed, and Du Shaotang himself was stunned. Cheng Bo’s technique was simply untraceable, and this time even If Ah Niang was present, she would not recognize him.
Huo Qiu knew the art of transfiguration, and when Teng Yuyi and the three of them came out, they had already dressed up on their own.
They went to the flower hall to join the Absolute Saint and the Renunciation of Wisdom, and together they went outside the palace.
On the way, Teng Yuyi told Du Shaotang: “People only say that their surname is Tang in front of them.”
Du Shaotang nodded, the first time he participated in such a “big event”, he couldn’t say whether he was excited or scared, because he was walking too fast under his feet and almost stumbled.
Absolute Saint and Ren zhi hurriedly hugged Du Shaotang: “Du – Tang Gongzi.” Teng Yuyi
dragged Du Shaotang aside and whispered, “It’s just a trip to Dali Temple, why panic like this?” Remember, you are a man, no matter what happens outside, you must be stable.
Du Shaotang looked at the Absolute Saint and Renunciation Wisdom not far away, these two little Daoists were a few years younger than him, but they were already able to stand alone.
Not to mention jade cousin.
He hurriedly helped the head of the hand, “Jade cousin rest assured, I know how to do it.”
Teng Yuyi looked at him with a strained face before nodding.
Before going out, Du Tinglan told her brother a few words, and Teng Yuyi watched the people carry the boxes of snacks she prepared to the Qingyun Temple’s calf car, making sure that there was no leakage, which made her heart relaxed.
Du Shaotang walked with absolute saint renunciation, and Teng Yuyi and Du Tinglan took another car.
When passing by a mansion on the way, Teng Yuyi heard some noise outside, and when he looked out through the window curtain, he saw a column of WuHou knocking on the door of the mansion, and the Wuhou who was the leader said to the next person who opened the door: “Is there a woman pregnant in the palace?” Regardless of the lord’s house, the servants at the bottom must also report it. The stakes are high, and those who dare to conceal the government will be severely punished! The
man was startled and said, “My wife is not pregnant.” Please also ask the officials to wait, and the little man will go in and ask if there is a steward who is pregnant. Teng Yuyi
was surprised: “This is to find out the existing pregnant women in Chang’an?”
Du Tinglan was stunned: “Are you afraid that the murderers will make trouble again, so you want to take precautions in advance?” Last time Grandpa said that Chang’an is now in peace and security, let alone a million people, so they go door to door to check, and they don’t know when they will be found.
Teng Yu thought about it, in other words, others may not be able to check it, it is Lin Chengyou’s idea that it is a different matter, Lin Chengyou went straight to heaven to listen, the county orders of Chang’an and Wannian counties for their own future, absolutely did not dare to refuse his instructions, Chang’an population is large, but the number of households is limited, as long as the mobilization of manpower can be mobilized to check the city, it will be clear in a few days.
She was a little puzzled, the other party in order to frame Zhuang Mu can be described as painstaking, Zhuang Mu is now arrested, Lin Chengyou why not calculate it?
***
Dali Temple.
Yan Jizhi came out of the morgue and said to Lin Chengyou as he walked: “The skirt horns of Shu Liniang and Bai Clan are not missing, so it can be seen that the murderer did not think of wrapping the fetus with their skirt horns at that time, but as soon as he arrived at Rong An Bo Shizi’s wife Xiao Jiang, he did so, and it was clear that he wanted to marry Zhuang Mu.” Lin commented, even so, why not claim to the outside world that the real culprit has been caught? The murderer heard that we were ‘in the middle’, and maybe they could show the horse’s feet earlier.
Lin Chengyou looked thoughtfully at the pine cypress in front of the court, and only after a moment did he reply: “Last night I looked for the evil spirits and demon laws of taking the fetus in several avenues, if it is really for the sake of refining the Yue Shuo Tong Jun, the murderer will never give up only taking three children, once the crime is committed again, the murderer’s move to marry Zhuang Mu is meaningless, how can such a seasoned murderer do something meaningless?” I wondered if the murderer had dug so many traps for Zhuang Mu just to clear his suspicions, would there be any other deep meaning?
Yan Ji was stunned: “What else can you do except plant stolen goods?”
“Shock? Warn? Lin Chengyou thought about pacing down the steps.
Yan Jizhi was even more confused: “Zhuang Mu has been caught, who can this so-called ‘shock’ and ‘warning’ be shown to?” “What if there is
someone behind Zhuang Mu…” Lin Chengyou said, “The murderer does not mean Zhuang Mu, but the person behind Zhuang Mu’s curtain.” I asked Azan, the lord of Yumigui, that Zhuang Mu only had five hundred dollars a month for his work. But Zhuang Muping went to the liquor store every day to drink, not to mention, but also from time to time to go to the gambling house to gamble money, just five hundred dollars, how can he spend such a cost? Before he suddenly left Chang’an in January, where did the cost of the journey come from? Obviously, the blacksmith was only his superficial profession, and there must be some other lord behind his back.
“I’ve long suspected this.” Yan Ji was stunned for a moment, “By the way, Lin Comment has already checked that Zhuang Mu was not in Chang’an a month before?”
Lin Chengyou: “After the prince said this yesterday, I asked people to check it out, Zhuang Mu indeed left Chang’an on the first day of March, and as soon as he left the city, he hired a horse at the post station outside the city, it seems that he is going to go out of the far gate, Tongzhou and Chang’an are not far away, if Zhuang Mu drives his horse to rush to The first five days of March, it is too late to get to Tongzhou in time, but whether he is going to commit a crime or do something else, then I don’t know, he is a person like him, forgery’ It’s not a difficult thing to do. It happened that the next two cases, Zhuang Mu was also at the scene, from the existing indications, the murderer was deliberately leading Zhuang Mu to the place of the incident, but if you look at it from another angle, will Zhuang Mu be investigating the real murderer, so he followed the murderer to the scene of the incident again and again.
Yan Ji opened his mouth in surprise, “You mean Zhuang Mu is tracking the real murderer?”
Lin Chengyou stroked his chin: “I’ll try to guess first.” The real murderer is to kill people and get the fetus, and Zhuang Mu is to investigate the real murderer, and the real murderer detects Zhuang Mu’s actions, simply calculates the plan, and throws the crime on Zhuang Mu’s head. ”
Wait a minute… Wait…” Yan Jizhi tried to clarify his train of thought, “Let’s not talk about how the real murderer set a trap, Zhuang Mu is just a pimp in Xishi City, how can you know in advance that the real murderer will commit a crime?”
“I don’t know.” Lin Chengyou hesitated, “First of all, he may not know the true appearance of the real murderer, and secondly, he may not know what the real murderer is doing.” He may have been instructed to investigate, or he might have gone looking for something… And he may have been investigating before the same state murder. “Since
the real murderer found out that Zhuang Mu was investigating himself, why didn’t he just kill him?” Setting such a trap, wouldn’t zhuang Mu be afraid of telling Dali Temple what he had tracked down these days?
Lin Chengyou thought for a moment, “The real murderer dared to do this, but he was sure that he did not have the handle in Zhuang Mu’s hands.” But as long as Zhuang Mu is caught, we will find out from Zhuang Mu to the people behind the scenes, so that the real murderer can borrow the hands of Dali Temple and pull out the people behind Zhuang Mu without spending a single soldier. “What Lin commented
on is…”
Lin Chengyou smiled, “The real murderer is also very curious about Zhuang.”Who was the man behind Mu.
Yan Ji froze for a moment, saw Lin Chengyou walk forward, and hurried to follow: “I understand, this case involves two groups of people. One group is the real murderer, and the other is Zhuang Mu and the people behind the scenes. Zhuang Mu was arrested on the spot yesterday, but he could not say the whereabouts of the fetus, and Dali Temple would continue to investigate in order to get complete evidence of the crime, until the bottom line of Zhuang Mu was clarified… This strategy of killing people with a knife is easy to use. “It’s
a good enough calculation.” Lin Chengyou sighed, “It’s just that the real murderer didn’t expect that the prince would break into the ashram yesterday, he lurked in the room for a while before escaping, he should have hesitated to attack the prince, if he stayed to attack the prince, there would not be enough time to marry Zhuang Mu, weighing it again and again, he could only hurry away, at that time the room was dark, the real murderer was very sure of his appearance and dress, he bet that the prince could not see the difference between himself and Zhuang Mu’s appearance, but he never expected that the prince smelled a rare one on the spot because he had studied spices. Tianshui released the logic’, and because his heart was as delicate as his hair, he found that a hole in his clothes had been scratched. With this flaw, we know that Zhuang Mu is not the real murderer.
Yan Jizhi nodded his head in a trance, “No wonder Lin Zhishi came back last night to let people investigate the pregnant women in the city, several cases have spread all over the city, those pregnant women are all in danger, the official government can not only appease the people’s hearts, but also tell the real murderer Dali Temple that he has not been fooled.” The murderer learns that the trap he has painstakingly designed has been discovered, and the subsequent plan will be disrupted, and if it is chaotic, it is easy to make mistakes.
Lin Chengyou smiled, yes, he was sincerely adding chaos to the real murderer.
When the people behind Zhuang Mu learned that Zhuang Mu had been arrested, they could quickly understand that it was a trap set by the real murderer, and this person could drive a master like Zhuang Mu and could not fight back. This person is in the dark, the real murderer is in the light, the real murderer must not only guard against the pursuit of the official government, but also pay attention to the people behind Zhuang Mu to deal with himself, and at the same time, he has to bother to collect The Yueshuo Tongjun, which is busy enough. As soon as people are busy, it is easy to show flaws. They just have to wait and see.
“Elder Brother Yan, let’s go and interrogate Zhuang Mu first.” Lin Chengyou stepped towards the great prison.
Yan Ji sighed, “Last night I was busy investigating the affairs of pregnant women in the city, and I didn’t have time to interrogate Zhuang Mu, I thought that he had been hanging out all night, and he must have a lot to say, but in the morning I went to interrogate him, this person is like a piece of hard iron, still open.” In
the dungeon, Zhuang Mu sat in the cage with his eyes closed.
The cage was heavily shackled, and the dark iron bars glowed with a rocky hard luster. This is a special iron cage specially used by Dali Temple to detain serious criminals, and each piece of the machine is painstakingly built by hundreds of craftsmen, and people are locked in cages, even if they have a thousand strange powers, they don’t want to escape.
Zhuang Mu’s body was tied with flowers, and there was a cloth strip stuffed in his mouth, except for a pair of eyes, he was still free, and there was no place on his body that could move.
In addition, there were four servants outside the iron cage.
The servants were busy chatting, occasionally looking at Zhuang Mu in the iron cage, so strictly waiting, not because they were afraid that Zhuang Mu would escape, but to prevent him from committing suicide with all kinds of strange methods.
I overheard footsteps approaching outside the door, and as soon as the door opened, a fragrance drifted into the room, and when the servants looked around, they saw Lin Chengyou and Yan Jizhi coming in with an old servant.
The old servant carried a tray with five large bowls of steaming wontons, as well as meat-stuffed bread dumplings, prison balls and other food, each plate was full of aroma. The old servant warmly greeted the servants: “Let’s come over for breakfast, hey, don’t thank me, today’s meal is lin commenter please.” The
servants thundered and rushed to sit down at the table, not forgetting to say in their mouths: “Lin Comment, Yan Jizhi, you don’t eat?”
Yan Ji smiled and shook his head, walked over to the special article to record the confession of the offender, and sat down in his robe.
Lin Chengyou went straight to the iron prison and crouched down to look at Zhuang Mu: “Hungry?” The aroma drilled into people’s noses one after another, and everyone would salivate, a person’s
willpower is often the most fragile when hungry, but Zhuang Mu has obviously undergone thousands of hammers and tribulations, just like the old monk who has settled down and has no reaction to Lin Chengyou’s words.
“I haven’t eaten in a day, so I can’t bear it.” Lin Chengyou smiled, “Otherwise, I will leave you a breakfast, and when we are finished talking, I will bring you the food.” Zhuang Mu
slowly opened his eyes, and there was both mockery and disdain in his eyes.
Lin Chengyou sighed, “I see.” You are not afraid of hunger, and you are not afraid of death.
Without waiting for Zhuang Mu to react, he laughed lowly: “First I was confused to carry the black cauldron for people, and then I was confused and starved to death in prison, you don’t feel the nest, I will nest for you, if I were you, even if I died, I would first find out who framed me.” These
words were so low that only two people could hear them, and Zhuang Mu’s expression froze, and the thick irony in his eyes was suddenly replaced by surprise.
“Yes, I know you were framed.” Lin Chengyou smiled unabatedly in his eyes, “Now except for me, no one can help you clear your name.” Zhuang Mu’s
eyes rippled with tiny ripples, as if he were hesitating, and as if he were thinking, then he seemed to remember something and closed his eyes again.
Lin Chengyou was not in a hurry, turned his gaze, and looked at Zhuang Mu’s hands that still had blood stains: “Let me guess, yesterday you ran to the back alley of the spice shop, probably looking for something, but the thing was not found, but the murderer had already dug a trap for you.” Before you ran to the same state capital, you were also hired to run errands, but you didn’t know that at that time, the real murderer was already planning to deal with you.
Zhuang Mu opened his eyes suddenly, compared to the half-believed look just now, this time the look in his eyes was much more complicated, looking at Lin Chengyou in shock, it seemed that he began to re-examine the young man in front of him.
“Praying mantises catch cicadas, yellow finches are behind.” Lin Chengyou said with a heavy heart, “You are being played around by the other party, and you still have to carry the charge of murder for him, Zhuang Mu, you can’t swallow this evil breath, right?” The real murderer is so hateful, do you want to consider cooperating with me again? Zhuang Mu’s
eyes flickered, but he only lost his concentration for a moment, and the hesitation in his eyes was replaced by a thick color of defense.
Lin Chengyou looked at Zhuang Mu for a moment, saw the situation and smiled, “Yes, I am very interested in the secrets of your body.” But more than that, I now want to catch the real culprit as soon as possible. You want revenge, I want to arrest people, and we each take what we need. How, do you want to work with me to make a round, the real murderer tricked Dali Temple and you Zhuang Mu, how about we play him again? ”
