MTL - Capture the Jade-Chapter 33 (two)
Since Lin Chengyou is a Dali critic, he should have the right to intervene.
Next to Lin Chengyou was a green-robed official in his 20s or 30s, who was probably the Dali Temple Sizhi. After the two said a few words, Lin Chengyou waved to He Mingsheng: "Call everyone out and wait for questioning in the garden. There is no need to make another room, just in the small Buddha hall."
He Mingsheng didn't dare to dodge, and agreed with a series of voices: "Yes."
The official looked around for a week and said, "While I'm waiting for the questioning, everyone in the building is not allowed to talk privately, let alone leave without authorization. If anyone violates the law, they should be punished for fear of crime and trouble."
Jue Sheng and Ji Zhi rarely did not stick to Lin Chengyou, but stood far away from the other side. The Five Paths of Dongmingguan also came, and they were pulling Juesheng and Qizhi to inquire about something. As soon as these words came out, all the paths were silent.
Teng Yuyi glanced at Cheng Bo, and Cheng Bo nodded secretly.
There were quite a few prostitutes in Caifeng Tower, and there were about one or two hundred people, including the temple guests and servants. Lin Chengyou and the Dali Temple Director were each in charge of half.
Fortunately, Dali Temple soon dispatched officials to help him. For that matter, more than an hour had passed by the time Teng Yuyi was invited to the Small Buddha Hall for questioning.
The door of the Small Buddha Hall was open, and as soon as you approached it, people shivered. Teng Yuyi looked around proudly. The place was still so gloomy and cold. I heard that Lin Chengyou and Wudao slept here last night.
Just as she was about to go in, a person came out. She raised her head in a hurry, and that person met Teng Yuyi's gaze.
Teng Yuyi was startled, Ge Jin.
Ge Jinxiang had tears in her cheeks, and wiped it with a handkerchief as she walked. Teng Yuyi looked at Ge Jin secretly. No wonder Wudao said that this woman was a little bit like her, and that it was not like anything else, except for her eyes, which were all slender eyelashes and apricot round eyes. If it is like ink, if it contains Yingying tears, it has a kind of moving charm.
Teng Yuyi smiled and cupped her hands: "Miss Gejin?"
Ge Jin had never seen the bearded young Hu man in front of him, and bowed at will: "Young Master."
After speaking, he left in a hurry, and Teng Yuyi walked in. There was a banner and a flower incense burner on the table, but the boy statue behind the case disappeared. At this time, the official of Dali Temple was standing in front of the table. Writing a page book, holding a pen in his hand.
Lin Chengyou sat lazily on one side with his arms crossed.
Teng Yuyi bowed respectfully: "I have seen His Royal Highness, I have seen Si Zhi."
The director of Dali Temple looked at this strange barbarian, and then looked at Lin Chengyou. The strange thing was that he did not inquire about Teng Yuyi's life history in detail, but directly asked what happened last night: "The prince was in the room last night?"
"Don't dare to wander around."
"Hear what?"
"Never."
"I heard that Ling Zun sent two guards to accompany you. You fell asleep. They must not dare to sleep deeply. What did they tell you?"
"Huo Qiu bumped into Qingzhi in the corridor last night. He thought Qingzhi was suspicious, so he asked her a few questions."
Lin Chengyou's eyes moved slightly: "What time did Qingzhi say?"
Teng Yuyi talked about what happened last night in detail.
Lin Chengyou and his colleagues looked at each other: "Young Master Wang can go, and call Huoqiu in for questioning."
Teng Yuyi said goodbye and left.
At noon, Qingzhi's corpse was taken away, everyone's foot restraint was lifted, and they were told that they could move around in the building by themselves.
Before Huoqiu returned, Teng Yuyi asked Cheng Bo, "What did you hear this morning?"
Cheng Bo said: "This well is used in the building to wash clothes. In the morning, the servant girl came over to draw water and found a bucket on the side of the well. When she looked inside, she found Qingzhi inside. The servant girl was so frightened that she lost her mind and shouted. The sound attracted the prince and others, and when the prince inspected the corpse, he seemed to have found something wrong, so he stayed by the well to guard, and asked people to go to Dali Temple to find someone, and the young lady will know what happened later."
Teng Yuyi nodded. As expected of Uncle Cheng, he was able to find out many details in just a short time.
"Cheng Bo, you have good eyesight, can you see what's wrong with Qingzhi?"
"The old slave tried to look closer, there was no wound on the corpse, and the clothes were not damaged. There was some silt in the fingernails, which was slightly bluish. It was estimated that the moss on the wall of the well was caused by scratching the wall of the well after being thrown into the well. "
"Scratching the well wall?"
Cheng Bo said: "Old slave has seen people who committed suicide by throwing themselves in a well before, and it's very similar to Qingzhi's situation. The well water is very deep, and he jumped head-first into the well. It is estimated that he had thrown into the well and regretted it, but it was too late to save himself. When he was discovered It should be out of breath soon, because the fingers have not been soaked. If someone is forcibly pushed from behind, the clothes on the chest and abdomen should be scratched when struggling, and there will be some wounds on the body, so the old servant guessed that Qingzhi was not being Murder, but this is a general statement, I am afraid that only the autopsy will know what it is."
This is strange, if the cause of Qingzhi's death is not suspicious, why does Lin Chengyou bother so much?
After a while, Huoqiu came back.
"The prince called the villain over and asked all the details, such as what Qingzhi's expression was originally, what happened when he was drunk by the villain, what things he was holding in his hand, and the hairpin on his head... the villain's memory counts. Okay, but I can't help but ask this question, I turned it upside down, and I confided a little when I remembered it. The prince saw that he really couldn't ask anything, so he let the villain come back."
Teng Yuyi nodded: "We have told everything we know, and the next thing will not concern us. There is confusion in the building, you and Uncle Cheng don't have to ask about it outside, even if you hear something, don't pay attention, come back privately say below."
After talking about going to the front building for dinner, Dongmingguan Wudao was discussing the matter in the hall: "I really can't think of it, last night, there will be other troubles in the future of the corpse. I heard that this Qingzhi is known to the disfigured former. Handmaiden, the master is good-natured, but the handmaiden is looking for a shortcoming."
Seeing Mei's voice is low: "I checked it out? Is it really suicide?"
"The officials of Dali Temple openly said that the prince had no objection when he was in the audience, and it was expected that there was nothing suspicious. Otherwise, why did not a single suspect be taken away?"
Zhongdao breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good, there were so many people in the building last night, if the maid was killed by someone, the perpetrator would be too cold-blooded and bold."
They were talking eloquently in this room, and many people in the hall quietly pricked up their ears. They heard that Qingzhi committed suicide by jumping into a well, and the prostitutes looked a little more relaxed.
Seeing Teng Yuyi, Jian Xian greeted him warmly, "Young Master Wang."
Teng Yuyi looked left and right, and was surprised that he didn't see He Mingsheng. He originally wanted to order him to arrange a meal, but he had to give up first.
"Everyone are well."
"Hey, Young Master Wang, is your voice better?"
"I've had a cold for a few days, and I've seen you long ago. I drank a drink last night, and I can talk when I wake up in the morning."
Seeing the sky, he smiled and said: "Last night, I spent money on the prince, and the old man learned from the mouth of Aunt Caly that a pot of dragon ointment wine is worth five thousand. I was waiting to pay you a game, but unfortunately I can surrender within three days. Zie Xie and Young Master Jinyi, if you want to invite Young Master Wang out for a drink in the future, I'm afraid there won't be a chance."
In three days? Teng Yuyi took a seat: "Have you found a way to deal with the corpse evil and the golden-clothed son?"
Looking at the hall, watching all the prostitutes leave their seats, he said in a low voice: "Last night, the prince returned to the small Buddha hall, let us concentrate on looking for the strange record of Xuanyang Temple a hundred years ago, and it happened, Wang Master, guess what we found?"
Without waiting for Teng Yuyi to ask, he smiled and said, "A hundred years ago there was also a Taoist priest named Qingxuzi, who once fought against a Yan Yao during the Maode years, and was unfortunately harmed by the Yan Yao. The strange thing is that the Yan Yao has since then There is no news. The prince suspected that this flamboyant monster was the young master in golden clothes. After searching in the small Buddha hall in the middle of the night, he found that the phantom had written 'This monster is transformed by a different bird', and it was from the year that this flamboyant monster appeared. Since then, the young master in golden clothes has disappeared from the records, and when it reappears, it will be a few years later."
Seeing Xianfeng's eyes narrowed: "Young Master Wang should have guessed that both the Taoist priest of the previous dynasty and the young master in golden clothes were both injured, one died at the time, and the other disappeared for several years. One thing is even more bizarre, according to Xuanyang Guan Yizhi, the last fight between Qingxuzi and Jinyi Gongzi was near Fanchuan, and the body of the Taoist was also found in Fanchuan."
"Fan Chuan? Was the palace where Zhe Xie was imprisoned right in Fan Chuan?"
Jian Mei slapped her thigh: "I haven't figured out how the golden-clothed son and the corpse are related. Isn't this what happened? There are thousands of threads and no traces, if I hadn't stumbled upon the 'Yan Yao' Records, I am afraid that the origin of these two monsters will never be found in a lifetime."
"Which year is it written in the foreign journal?"
"Eleven years of Promos."
Teng Yuyi said in surprise: "At that time, Shi Xie was still a princess raised in the palace. His name was Feng Abao, and he was only thirteen years old. Just based on the fact that Young Master Jinyi was injured near the palace, I'm afraid it is impossible to confirm how the two monsters met. Bar."
"But other than that, the connection between the two monsters can no longer be found. After three years, Feng Abao died, and ten years later, he emerged as a corpse. , and was suppressed by the contemptuous patriarch."
"Even if it's true, what does this have to do with subjugating monsters within three days?"
Jian Xian lowered his voice and said: "It was just suspicion before, but there is no evidence. After the encounter last night, it can basically be confirmed that the two monsters have known each other. There are not many tricks that can be practiced by corpses and monsters at the same time. If you find relevant records within three days, and then take advantage of the situation to crack the important gate, won't you be able to catch it all in one go?"
So this is something that hasn't been seen yet. Teng Yuyi asked curiously, "Last time, the young man in golden clothes seemed to be seriously injured. I don't know if he was hurting a vital point?"
"The key point?" Jianmei waved her hand, "Where is the key point?"
Teng Yuyi's heart tensed, and the young master in golden clothes had no vital points, so how would she deliver her "deadly knife"?
"The reason why this monster has been able to act strange for a hundred years not only relies on its ever-changing abilities, but also its flying wings. If it really wants to escape, it only needs to flap its wings and it will disappear in a blink of an eye, and the prince shoots back. It's not easy to hit it a few arrows. It is estimated that it has something to do with the magic-suppressing formation outside the mansion. Because of the injury, the action becomes slow. This time, it is estimated that the vitality will be greatly damaged. It's even harder to hurt its vitals."
So there is still. Teng Yuyi took a sip of tea and said, "Young Master Jinyi is very capable. To put it bluntly, he is a bird monster. Since he is made of flesh and blood, how can it not be important?"
Jian Le raised **** and poked himself in the face.
Teng Yuyi's face lit up: "Eyes?"
Jian Le withdrew his hand: "It's not just a bird monster, most of the monsters who make trouble in the world can't do without their eyes. However, according to the "Yao Jing", the golden-clothed son is different from the monsters next to him, his eyes confuse people's hearts Its ability is not under the corpse evil, as long as it looks at it, let alone wants to stab its eyes, it is not bad not to be eaten by it first, so I know where it is going to harm, but I can't help it."
Teng Yuyi's scalp tightened when he heard this. Xiaoya, a lousy old man, had come out of nowhere. He thought that Young Master Jinyi's abilities would be under the corpse evil, so it would be easier to make a move, but he didn't expect it to be so dangerous.
She recalled the sequence of Lin Chengyou's archery that night, her mind moved, and while rubbing the edge of the lamp, she asked, "Where is the corpse evil? The last time the prince shot it five arrows, what's the point?"
"The corpse is born with the evil spirit of heaven and earth. As long as it is not smashed into ashes, no matter how serious the injury is, it can slowly heal itself."
Teng Yuyi's heart was half cold. This thing is so difficult to deal with. Wei Dao is the king of evil. Why don't you forget it this time, and change to another evil thing with low demon power next time?
"However, the corpse evil has a vital point. Guess the prince, where is its vital point?"
Teng Yuyi came to her senses, remembering that the monster had picked her, Juan Erli and others. As far as she could see, the three of them had no similarities except for their eyes, so she made a bold guess: "Eyes?"
All five shook their heads in unison: "No."
Teng Yuyi remembered the situation when the corpse evil shot, the red mandala-like sharp nails made people palpitate.
"nail?"
"Nor."
Teng Yuyi wanted to guess the heart's nest, but also knew that the corpse evil had no heart, and Lin Chengyou shot five arrows in a row, but only spared the corpse evil's heart nest.
The more Teng Yuyi could not guess, the more excited Wudao became.
"Poor Daoist knows that Young Master Wang can't guess."
"It's better than this. The prince will guess three more rounds. If you can't guess, the prince will invite me to wait for a drink."
Teng Yuyi sneered secretly, these old men had a good idea, and seeing that she was interested in this thing, they went around trying to deceive her for the wine money.
She pondered for a while, then said with a smile, "What if you guessed right? Can you, Master, promise me one thing?"
Zhu Dao discussed in a low voice, and patted his palms: "As you said! But if Wang Gongzi loses, we don't want ordinary wine and food, we need last night's dragon cream wine."
Teng Yuyi smiled and said, "How difficult is this? Whoever has a pen and paper, we will set up the words as proof."
The temple visitor in the hall sent a set of pen and ink. Teng Yuyi wrote down the matters and handed them over to the Taoists to read them one by one. Then they pressed their handprints and signed them themselves. Then he continued to guess: "Throat?"
"No, no."
"Belly?"
Seeing Mei was so excited that her beard trembled, as if the black dragon plaster wine was already in front of her: "Young Master Wang, don't blame Pindao for not reminding you, you only have one chance left."
Teng Yuyi frowned and sighed: "I'm afraid I'm going to lose this game."
At this time, there were footsteps outside the court, but it was Lin Chengyou, with Juesheng and Qizhi following behind.
Lin Chengyou raised his eyebrows: "Why are you so lively?"
Wudao was in high spirits, and he was busy in the future and said: "Shizi, please take a seat. If you are lucky enough to win the wine, Pindao borrows flowers to offer Buddha, and shamelessly thank you for a game."
Seeing the beauty, he pretended to say: "Fang Cai, everyone advised Wang Gongzi to be careful, but he couldn't stop him."
Teng Yuyi helplessly spread her hands: "Yeah, I can't stop it."
Lin Chengyou seemed to be waiting for someone, and looked a little careless, so he brought tea utensils and watched them play while cooking.
Seeing that Teng Yuyi was slow to speak, all the Taoists kept urging: "Young Master Wang, make a quick guess."
"Be willing to admit defeat, don't deny it."
Teng Yuyi put down the tea cup unhurriedly, and suddenly smiled: "I have. Teeth?"
The smiles of Jian Mei and others froze on their faces.
Jue Sheng and Qi Zhi rubbed their hands together happily.
"It doesn't count." Jian Xian stood up first, "Young Master Wang is clearly blind."
"That is, I have guessed three times before the bet, and I guessed three times after the bet. There are so many places on the body of the corpse.
Teng Yuyi's eyes slid from left to right: "What the Taoist priests just said, 'I am willing to admit defeat, but not deny it', you don't care how I guess, since I guess right, I have to admit defeat."
Seeing Xi smiled and said: "If Wang Gongzi guessed it himself, Pindao would have no objection, but how can there be such a coincidence in the world, Wang Gongzi couldn't guess it right before, why did he suddenly guess it? No matter whether you win or lose the bet, it is all right. It's up to you, but if someone secretly helps you, it won't be fair."
Lin Chengyou raised his eyes.
Teng Yuyi said in surprise, "Seeing Daoist Xi, do you suspect that someone secretly told me?"
Seeing Xi Miao Miao Jue Sage and Abandoning Wisdom, he meant something: "Pin Dao doesn't mean this, but to convince the poor Dao to lose, Wang Gongzi must be able to say why."
Jue Sheng and Qi Zhi were about to speak loudly when they were stopped by Lin Chengyou.
He sneered and said: "Today, I've learned a lot. The seniors of Dongmingguan used to like to renege on their debts. I don't care how the prince guessed it, but my two junior brothers have only said one word since they came in, and I want to falsely accuse them of being secretive. Help, with my consent?"
Seeing the sky and blinking his eyes, it would be bad to offend Lin Chengyou if he continued to make trouble. He quickly said: "Seeing Xi's nonsense, the prince should not take it to heart. Wang Gongzi, we are willing to admit defeat, let's talk about it. What do we do for you?"
Teng Yuyi said lukewarmly, "You all suspect me of cheating for no reason. It's not enough to just agree to my request. If I can tell you the reason, you have to apologize to me and the two little priests."
"Okay! As long as the prince can speak the truth, the poor man will surely make amends."
"Hey, I'm afraid the prince won't be able to tell."
"That's right, I could have said it long ago."
Teng Yuyi sneered: "That night, in order to make the corpse's evil mind float, the Taoists kept provoking it with words, but it didn't seem to be really angry until the prince said it was called Feng Abao. When I couldn't recognize my father and mother, this evil thing was not only frantic and angry, but also had two sharp and sharp white fangs drilled out of its mouth. If I remember correctly, even though Shizi shot it with a golden sword, it didn't hurt. Itchy, after the fangs are exposed, the flesh on the body begins to stink, so I guess the key point of it is the pair of fangs. when the power is at its weakest."
Seeing Xi was stunned for a moment, then got up and gave a deep bow: "The poor Taoist spoke in vain, and almost slandered the innocence of the prince and the two Taoist priests. He knew that he was rude, and was deeply ashamed."
Seeing Tian and others, they also apologized angrily: "If you want the poor people to do something, the prince just needs to mention it."
Teng Yuyi put the receipt in his sleeve, and said with a smile, "I'm not busy, I'll keep this receipt first, and I'll come back to harass the Masters when I think of it some day."
It seemed unintentional again: "The fangs of the corpse evil are hidden so deeply, can they be wiped out after they are pulled out? I don't know if it is good to pull them out."
Lin Chengyou looked at Teng Yuyi, and said coldly, "Why are you so interested in asking about these things today?"
Teng Yuyi's eyes turned slightly: "I have dealt with it a few times, and I have long hated it in my heart. Although I am powerless to deal with this monster, I also want to know what the key points are."
Lin Chengyou touched his chin and was about to speak, when he heard Huan Pei Jingle, Caly Ji came with a group of prostitutes in robes and golden hairpins.
When she walked to the front of the hall and stood still, Qi Ji smiled and said, "The slave family knows that ordinary looks can't catch the eyes of the prince, so they deliberately picked a few ladies with good looks and skills to come over. Whoever the prince likes, just tell the slave family."
When everyone saw it, they all knew that there were eight people, all of them with towering clouds and amazing beauty.
Lin Chengyou glanced from left to right, and suddenly smiled: "I'm afraid one is not enough."
Teng Yuyi almost spit out a sip of tea, and hurriedly put down the tea cup.
The eyes of the crowd flickered, and they were quite envious.
Jue Sheng and Qi Zhi looked embarrassed, and lowered their heads and stared at their toes.
Calyx Ji was stunned. Although Lin Chengyou had been to Caifeng Tower twice in the past, he had never asked his wife to accompany her. Is this enlightened today?
She hurriedly covered her lips with the white-horned fan in her hand, and said happily, "The prince is young and full of vigour, and it is the time when he is greedy for freshness. No matter one or eight, they all depend on the prince."
Teng Yuyi groaned in his heart, and Cheng Bo quietly approached and said, "Sir, the pot of wine in the room is almost hot."
Teng Yuyi knew that Cheng Bo was taking her away from here. She wanted to watch the excitement for a while, but thought it was inappropriate, so she got up and said, "I'll take my leave first."
The five gods don't keep their homes, so they can't care to say hello to Teng Yuyi, but Juesheng and Qizhi hurriedly followed Teng Yuyi: "Wang Gongzi, brother, let us follow you."
Teng Yuyi smiled meaningfully, she was busy looking for fun, and of course she had to spare the two junior brothers.
"Haven't you eaten yet? I just didn't eat either. I asked them to bring lunch to the room."
"Senior brother bought us something to eat." Qizhi patted his chest, sure enough he was bulging.
As they walked out, they heard Caly Ji happily say: "There is a private room on the second floor, which has always been used to entertain guests.
"Second floor? No need, just find a big room in the backyard, the kind that can hold eight Dendrobium at the same time."
Dendrobium? Eight more!
This time, don't talk about being sage and abandoning wisdom. Seeing Mei and the others all blushed, at this moment, He Mingsheng came over with two temple guests. Dendrobium is ready, the villain is sent to the back garden, I don't know what to do."
Lin Chengyou put down the tea cup and said, "The Dendrobium bath is full of water, lead the person to the room where the Dendrobium Dendrobium is installed and wait."
There were two prostitutes who were more lively and could not help but chuckle. He Mingsheng glared at them and was about to scold them, but Lin Chengyou took out a piece of gold from his arms and put it on the table.
The faces of all the prostitutes suddenly turned bright. They were the most outstanding first-class prostitutes in Pingkangfang. They knew silk, bamboo, and calligraphy. The last one was gold, but who said it was rewarded by the Prince Cheng, and he took out the reward in advance, which shows that he was also very impatient.
Calyx Ji laughed in surprise: "The prince doesn't have to rush to reward them, it's not too late to reward them after they have been served."
He Mingsheng smiled ambiguously: "Can't you see it? The prince doesn't want to wait."
Lin Chengyou threw the gold in his hand, got up and smiled: "Let's go."
Suddenly remembering something, he turned his head and said, "Wait a minute, how can I remember that there were more than these people last time, you know everything else in the building?"
He Mingsheng tucked the sweat-wiping handkerchief back into his sleeve, and said with a flattering smile: "The prince has a good memory. There are indeed two people who were sick and resting in the room. The villain was afraid that his illness would hit the prince, so he didn't let them come."
Lin Chengyou said, "What are the names of these two people and when did they get sick?"
"One is called Wei Zi and the other is called Yao Huang. The eldest son called them back to recognize the paintings, so he should still remember them. Wei Zi has been ill for several days, and Yao Huang only complained of discomfort in the morning. She's seen the pulse."
Lin Chengyou asked, "Are they seriously ill?"
"It's not too serious. There have been a lot of weird things happening in the building recently. Wei Zi and Yao Huang are inevitably a little lazy when they are frightened. They only need to drink a few doses of medicine and recuperate for a few days."
"It's not too heavy, then call them out."
Teng Yuyi stomped at his feet, and this gentleman even spared the sick.
The author has something to say: I said once before that the title "Double Evil" has several meanings. In addition to the corpse evil and the golden-clothed son on the bright side, there is also an "evil" in the dark, so the plot of this volume is more complicated. I don’t want to scatter the plot during the deposit period. The following content is concentrated in ten big fat chapters, and the mystery will be revealed soon.
If you don't want to watch Ada and Ayu's interaction + cooperation to solve a case, and just want to see the plot of catching Caifenglou Yixie + Double Evil, you can directly read the last chapter of this volume.
