MTL - Capture the Jade-Chapter 38 (two)

Didn't you realize that her body deed was fake? "

Wo Ji looked unhappy: "Speaking of this, it's a fire, the slave family bought five children in one go, Qingzhi is the most inconspicuous one, and there has been no trouble in these years, how can I expect that someone would dare to make money? Forged."

Lin Chengyou sneered: "The accents of Xingyang and Yuezhou are very different. You can fake the body deed, but you can't fake the accent. Have you heard that Qingzhi is not a Xingyang accent?"

Walkie sighed: "At that time, there were so many children bought, how could the slave family pay attention to these? If it wasn't for such an incident, the slave family wouldn't even pay attention to who Qingzhi was. The children learned things quickly, and a large group of people stayed together. I forgot my native dialect within a few days.”

Lin Chengyou: "You have been living in Pingkangfang since you bought Qingzhi? Where did you make a living before Caifenglou opened?"

Wo Ji laughed dryly: "The slave family rented a house in the workshop, and planned to raise a few children to attract customers, but it didn't take long for Nanqu to open several well-known brothels, and the ladies inside were all beautiful. Yi Shuangquan, the sons and grandsons of Chang'an City were all hooked up by them, and they didn't even notice the small workshop in the corner.

"The slave family has no business to do. I heard that Nanqu is going to open the largest Caifeng Building in Chang'an, so I brought the children to defect. When I came, I negotiated with Boss He. He provided accommodation and meals, and the children returned home. He cares, in the future, these children will be successful. No matter how much they earn, the slave family will only take 10%. Moreover, when the slave family was young, their music skills were very good, and it was more than enough to help train actors. Boss He originally refused to agree, but at that time Caifenglou was down. Zizhao couldn't come to teach Leji so much, so he saw that the Nu family volunteered to help teach music, so he agreed. By the way, the same is true for Calyji and the others."

Lin Chengyou closed the lid: "Caifeng Building has been open for more than half a year. You stay in the building day and night, but have you heard of who is from Yuezhou?"

"People from Yuezhou?" Wo Jisser shrank, "Isn't Yao Huang that?"

"No one but her?"

Walkie answered affirmatively: "No."

Lin Chengyou snorted: "The murderer is in the building. If you know something but don't say it, you may be the next unlucky one."

Walkie's voice trembled: "Nujia think about it, think about it."

She twisted her hands together nervously, her knuckles turning white, and finally shook her head helplessly: "The slave family has been dealing with everyone for a long time, I have never heard of anyone from Yuezhou, but Yao Huang mentions Yuezhou from time to time. state, but I haven't seen anyone take over."

Lin Chengyou and Yan Si looked directly at each other, and simply asked in a different way: "Qingzhi often goes out for walks on weekdays, have you heard of any fellow villagers she met outside recently?"

Wo Ji was stunned: "This...Qingzhi only buys food every time he goes out, never heard of meeting fellow villagers-"

Speaking of this, Wo Ji's face suddenly showed a strange color, looked at Lin Chengyou and said: "No, no, no, when it comes to fellow villagers, Qingzhi didn't know what to do that day, and suddenly said that she and the former shopkeeper's concubine were fellow villagers. This happened to the slave family before. I mentioned it to the prince, the prince should still remember-"

Lin Chengyou was silent for a while, of course he remembered that if he hadn't grasped this, he would not have been able to find out that Qingzhi was actually from Yuezhou. If he didn't follow this clue, he might not be able to find out the truth of Qingzhi and Yao Huang. relation.

But the concubine named Rong has been dead for more than a year—

Not only the concubine died, but the Tian family also died one after another.

He just wants to know who else is from Yuezhou in the building, why is Caibohang involved again? The three people who died a year ago have nothing to do with the murders a year later.

Lin Chengyou pressed his doubts patiently: "Okay, then I'll ask again, how did Qingzhi tell you at that time?"

Woji said: "It's not what she said. The slave family learned about it when people complained about Qingzhi. It's not too taboo to say that Qingzhi always speaks crazy, and that she and that dead ghost concubine are fellow countrymen."

Lin Chengyou smiled: "But now it proves that what Qingzhi said is not crazy, she is indeed from Yuezhou. Has Qingzhi seen the Rong family before, why does she know that she and the Rong family are from the same town?"

Walkie looked a little uneasy, as if thinking about something.

Lin Chengyou and Yan Si looked directly at each other, and the doubts in his heart became bigger and bigger.

Lin Chengyou said: "Caibohang has a long-standing reputation here. You have lived in Pingkangfang for all these years. Even if you haven't bought anything in the store, you should have heard of the name of Caibohang. Think about it, Qingzhi. Have you ever mentioned the Rong family?"

Wo Ji said nervously: "This child hasn't mentioned the Rong family, but I think she should have met."

Yan Sizhi was shocked, thinking that Qingzhi's words were for grandstanding, but it turned out that she had really met Rong's.

He hurriedly asked, "When did you meet? Where did you meet?"

Wo Ji put her hand to her forehead: "When Caibohang was still around, the slave family often visited. Caibohang was a big business and hired a lot of people, but the Tian family was used to being stingy, and they liked to do everything by themselves. You have a dignified appearance, and you can speak beautifully. But Qi's eyes are like hidden sharp knives, and you can know how much you weigh by just looking at you. At that time, the slave family was tight, and Qi looked at the slave family every time they asked. Buy more and less, her face is light, and the slave family despised her mean face, and often took Qingzhi and a few to the store to add to the block in her spare time.

"One time when Mrs Qi was ill, Mrs Rong came out to receive the female relatives on her behalf. I remember that Mrs Rong married Boss Tian not long ago. She was beautiful and kind. There were so many people going to the store that day, and Boss Tian was very happy. Yes, but Mrs. Rong only came out to entertain for a short while, Mrs. Qi smashed things behind her, it sounded like she was scolding Mrs. Rong, every sentence was ugly, and Boss Tian didn't dare to defend Mrs. Rong. Urge her to go in and serve the Qi-"

Walkie said and paused: "After I came back, my children also said that Boss Tian's family is rich, why is he so afraid of his wife? Qingzhi was among the children who spoke, and the Nujia guessed that she knew Rong at that time. The family is from Yuezhou. Later, the Nujia met Rong's several times on the street, but she was a lot of haggard. I heard that Qi's often beat and scolded her, and Boss Tian was not in Chang'an. He jumped into a well and died."

Lin Chengyou pondered for a moment: "Qingzhi can definitely hear the Rong family's Yuezhou accent. Did Qingzhi mention the Rong family to you after that? For example, I met the Rong family somewhere, or said something to the Rong family. ."

Walkie thought about it seriously: "I didn't mention it. After Rong Shi died, there were all kinds of rumors in Fanglu. Everyone said that she was killed by Qi Shi, and that Caibo Xing was haunted. The street talk spread to my small workshop, but I didn't see anything special about Qingzhi."

***

After Walkie left, Lin Chengyou stared at the table in a trance.

It seems that Caifenglou has nothing to do with Caibohang, but whenever new clues are found, Caibohang is like a rugged island in the thick fog, and at some inadvertent moment, a corner suddenly appears.

It turned out that Qingzhi had met Rong more than a year ago.

And Rong is from Yuezhou.

Coincidentally, the murderer's sachet also came from the embroidery workshop in Yuezhou.

Could it be that there is really any connection between Caifenglou and Caibohang?

Does the murderer know Rong?

Does he/she kill Sister Yao Huang, will it have something to do with the Rong family?

Lin Chengyou looked at the sachet in his hand, then took out the walnut, put the two in front of him, and rubbed thoughtfully.

"Yan Sizhi, Lin Pingshi." The yamen stuck his head in, "Chaji is here."

After entering the house, Caly Ji bowed her head and bowed her head in a salute, looking up to see that Lin Chengyou's face was still warm, she dared to ask: "Prince, the slave family listened to the master's family, tomorrow we have to move to the Mercy Rehabilitation Center of Dayin Temple, about this matter. Really?"

"What do you want to say, Mrs. Calyx?"

Calyx Ji held her handkerchief and smiled: "The prince's arrangements must be very comprehensive, the slave family just wanted to inquire with the prince about how many days they will be staying, if only for one or two days, that's fine, if they stay for a long time, the slave family will have to tell the children. Bring some more clothes."

Lin Chengyou said unhurriedly, "Aunt Calyx loves to inquire about everything, she should know a lot of people in the building, do you remember who came from Yuezhou?"

Calyx Ji blinked: "The slave family only knows that Yao Huang is from Yuezhou, and others don't know."

Lin Chengyou snorted: "Aunt Calyx has a very good memory, it's best to think about it again."

Good memory...what do you mean by that? Calyx Ji's eyes were flustered for a moment, and she smiled dryly: "Forgive the stupid family, and ask the prince to speak clearly."

Lin Chengyou calmly looked at Calyx. She was also a false mother, Calyx was a few years younger than Woji, and she was more clever and slicker. I heard that He Ming always paid attention to Calyx, and even some of the daily chores of Caifenglou would be handed over to Calyx. Ji takes care. Calyx Ji must know a lot about the people and things in the building.

"There are four false mothers in Caifeng Tower." He said, "Each false mother is only responsible for the discipline of her own 'daughter'. You are not the false mother of Wei Zi and Yao Huang, and logically you are not aware of their personal belongings. , but that night, whether it was Wei Zi's Mole Treasure or Yao Huang's Silver-winged Butterfly Buyao, you recognized it at a glance, you can see that all these trivial matters of the prostitutes can't escape your eyes."

Calyx Ji's face changed a few times: "The slave family didn't intend to inquire about this, it's just that Yao Huang and Wei Zi are no better than others, they are the best known ladies in Caifenglou, not to mention precious rewards, no matter how small a move is, someone will stare at them. , even if the slave family doesn't listen, they will listen to others."

"'Have heard of' and 'can meet' are two different things." Lin Chengyou half-smiled, "You can even tell the ins and outs of those things, and you know that there are quite a few ladies in your hands, if not exceptionally Be careful, how can you remember so firmly."

Calyx Ji opened her mouth to defend herself, Lin Chengyou smiled and said, "What are you anxious about? I'm complimenting Aunt Calyx's memory."

He picked up the sachet on the table and asked, "Have you seen this sachet?"

In just a few short words, Calyx Ji was frightened out of sweat. She subconsciously restrained the self-consciousness of her body, and she took a closer look and recognized that it was the one she found in the lobby in the morning. , was a little stumped: "This, this is not—"

"Yes." Lin Chengyou looked directly at Calyx Ji, his eyes were as dark as lacquer, as if he wanted to see the other person's bones, "This is the thing of the murderer, if you want to find the murderer as soon as possible, this is the most crucial clue, you think about it. Think about it, have you seen anyone use this thing in the past."

"Don't hide it from the prince." Calyx Ji took out the handkerchief and wiped the cold sweat on her forehead. "The slave family has a good memory. The colors on this sachet are so unique. If someone in the building has used it, the slave family must have an impression. But the slave family has a good memory. I'm sure I've never seen this sachet before."

Lin Chengyou reminded her: "Not only the prostitutes in the building, but also the guests and the neighbors."

Calyx Ji thought for a while, then shook her head again: "The slave family has never seen it before. The slave family knows the seriousness.

Lin Chengyou was a little disappointed, Wo Ji said that he had never seen it, and Caly Ji said that he had never seen it. Even if one of them was lying, it would be impossible for both of them to lie.

The sachets are not newly made, and the colors are eye-catching. If you have never seen a fake mother with sharp eyes and attentive eyes, it means that the murderer seldom uses this sachet in front of people.

This is interesting, Caifenglou has been open for more than half a year, prostitutes live next to each other, and even the most cautious people will reveal their flaws. The murderer has been hiding for so long and so deep...

Lin Chengyou paused: "I remember your shopkeeper said that the small Buddha hall in the back garden was built after an expert in Luoyang saw it?

Calyx Ji said honestly: "Yes."

"Do you go to the Small Buddha Hall to burn incense on weekdays?"

Calyx Ji shook her head like a rattle: "Nu's house has never been there, and others rarely go around the small Buddhist hall."

"Why is this?"

Calyx Ji caressed her chest: "It's strange to say, that little Buddhist hall is said to be built to ward off evil, but not to mention the night, even the daytime is cold, even if it is full of incense candles at night, the hall is dark and cold. , as soon as people go in, they feel uncomfortable all over. The ladies dare not walk around the small Buddhist hall, and even our main house is afraid. If you go there occasionally, you will definitely find a dozen temple visitors with you. Over time, everyone will not went."

Lin Chengyou thought to himself that the small Buddha hall was called the Buddha Hall, but in fact it used the Taoist Ruyi Demon Subduing Formation. The cornerstone of the formation below is enough to keep the building safe.

The bad thing is that it smashed the eye of the formation that suppressed the two monsters a hundred years ago, causing a lot of yin to overflow from the eye of the formation, and the nearby ghosts and ghosts felt it, and inevitably came to wander. . And the two monsters absorbed enough evil energy, and broke out of the formation not long after.

This point, it is estimated that the people who set up the formation did not expect it.

"Have you seen that master from Luoyang?"

"I haven't seen it before. When the master came to Chang'an, someone else was in charge of entertaining him. The slave family only knew that he was called Xiaoyao Sanren."

Lin Chengyou hummed: "But I have already sent someone to look for it. There is no expert named Xiaoyao Sanren in Luoyang."

Calyx Ji didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Sir, don't mention this, our host family is about to regret it. After the completion of the Little Buddha Hall, the Caifeng Building was only clean for a while, and soon it started haunting again. The host family had no choice but to go to Luoyang in person. I went to find that Xiaoyao Sanren, but I went there twice in a row, and every time it was empty. The master was so angry that he said that the Taoist priest was a liar, otherwise he would disappear as soon as he received the money."

Yan Sizhi wondered: "Since you suspect that person is a liar, why didn't your master report to the official?"

"The main family has already reported to the official, and they have asked someone to ask the magistrate in the county, saying that the Taoist priest is from Luoyang, but the deception is in Chang'an. Is this matter under the management of Chang'an Wannian County or Luoyang? I didn't wait. The master asked to understand, and the big monster popped out of the back garden, and then the whole building was banned, and this matter was put on hold."

Lin Chengyou pondered silently. Judging from the layout of the small Buddha hall, the Taoist priest is not like a liar. Even if the craftsman accidentally smashed the ground during construction, it is not difficult to come and make some remedies with this person's skills. Not showing up?

Just because Xiaoyao Sanren didn't show up again, no one found that the array eye below was smashed through. The craftsmen didn't dare to tell He Mingsheng when they got into trouble. He Mingsheng didn't know Taoism and couldn't see the clue, so until the two monsters ran out, Caifenglou continued to sing every night.

Little Buddha Hall... Little Buddha Hall... Lin Chengyou calculated in his heart that everyone avoided this gloomy little Buddha hall, but some people used this to perform sorcery in it.

His thoughts were condensed on the seven-mang guide sign found under the incense case in the small Buddha hall.

Qimang leads the road and Yinxie Sect to the extreme. You can only do it at night. You need to be undisturbed during the whole process. The Small Buddha Hall is the best place.

The murderer didn't want people to see what he was doing, and wished that everyone would not dare to go to the small Buddha hall... And in order to be safe, just being "gloomy" is not enough, and logically should do something else.

Lin Chengyou's heart moved: "Has Aunt Caly ever heard someone say that she bumped into a ghost in the small Buddhist hall?"

Calyx Ji nodded nervously: "Yes, yes, there are people who said this a few months ago, and then people bumped into ghosts one after another. It seems that the slave family... seems to have seen it before."

Yan Sizhi said strangely: "If you have seen it, you have seen it. If you haven't seen it, you have never seen it. What does 'seem to have seen'?"

Calyx Ji threw the veil: "Because the slave family can't tell whether that thing is a human or a ghost."

Lin Chengyou asked with great interest, "What does the thing you see look like?"

Calyx Ji swallowed her saliva in fear. It's been a long time since that happened, and she still feels horrified when she thinks about it.

"About two months ago, I remember that it was the fifteenth day. A few well-dressed children who came to take the exam came to the building to drink and fight poems, and asked to listen to music. The slave family saw that they were still gentle, so they called them Juanerli. He went to serve with Baozhu, and he agreed that he would only serve songs and recite poems and wine orders, and not serve anything else. Lang Jun also agreed, but in the middle of the night, there was a Lang Jun Qiang holding a roll pear to beg for joy, and hugged him. Zhu couldn't pull the man away. Seeing that something bad was going to happen, she had to run out to find the slave's house.

"When the slave family rushed over, Juan'erli's clothes were all torn. That dog was drunk and had a big temper. When we pulled it away, he slapped him angrily. Like Shimizu made, the face was swollen at the time.

"The slave family was so angry that their teeth were going to be crushed, and they even drove these dogs out with coaxing and driving, and finally got out, and when they looked back, they couldn't find the juanerli. The slave family knew that this child didn't like to talk on the face. My mind is very heavy, and I feel such a grievance in my heart. I can't tell how uncomfortable it is. I hurriedly and Baozhu went to find her, but Juanerli was not in the room, so I had to go to the garden to look for her.

"The garden is big, and it was late at night. The slave family remembered that there was a well in the back garden. I was afraid that Zhuanerli would find a short-term view and would not care about ghosts or ghosts. As soon as they entered, they separated from Baozhu to find them. There was no one in the garden. The more secluded we went inside, and when we were near the small Buddhist hall, the slave family suddenly saw a shadow jumping out of it—"

When Kazuki said this, her voice trembled violently.

"The slave family saw, the slave family saw a female ghost in red clothes."

"The female ghost in red clothes—" Yan Si straight up became suspicious, "It's so late, are you very close? Why can you even see the color of the clothes."

Calyx Ji stayed for a while, as if she didn't know how to answer.

A mocking smile appeared on Lin Chengyou's mouth: "Didn't Auntie Calyx just say that it was fifteen that night."

Calyx Ji nodded hurriedly: "Yes, yes, the moon was big that night, and the ground seemed to be sprinkled with a layer of silver frost. The slaves forgot to bring the lanterns out, but they also felt that there was a bright light everywhere."

"Do you see what the ghost looks like?"

Calyx Ji's head shook like a rattle: "The slave family didn't dare to stare, the ghost ran fast again, and only felt that the red shadow flashed in front of him, and the ghost disappeared in an instant."

Lin Chengyou: "I didn't see the appearance clearly, I should have some impression of height, shortness, fatness and thinness, do you think it looks familiar or familiar?"

Calyx Ji thought for a while, and said firmly: "If it's an acquaintance, the slave family should have recognized it, and the slave family has lived for all these years, and they have never seen anyone who can fly so fast, that thing can't be a person, only a ghost. ."

"Clothes, hairpin rings, fragrance...is there nothing familiar?"

Calyx Ji said with a bitter face: "It's just a flash of time, the slave family didn't dare to think about it afterward, they knew that the thing was wearing a skirt, and other slave families have long forgotten."

Lin Chengyou looked at Calyx Ji motionless, Calyx Ji resisted Lin Chengyou's gaze, I didn't know how long it took, just as she moved uneasily, Lin Chengyou's beautiful voice sounded: "The story isn't over yet, Baozhu found Zhuan'er. Are there any pears?"

Calyx Ji said happily: "I found it, the slave family was so frightened that they turned around and ran back, and they saw a group of people looking for them. It turned out that Baozhu found Juanerli in the Green Butterfly Pavilion. This child is hiding in the pavilion and crying. , the two came to look for me, and they met Wo Ji and Wei Zi on the way, and they walked together. They saw that I was in a hurry and asked what was wrong. I didn't dare to stay, so I immediately took them back to the house to apply the ointment."

The room fell silent, Lin Chengyou tapped the table with his index finger, and vaguely heard the yamen and prostitutes talking downstairs, accompanied by slightly anxious footsteps.

After a while, he opened his mouth and said, "The Little Buddha Hall is used to ward off ghosts, and it did work for a while at first. If even the Little Buddha Hall starts to haunt, the people in the building will be very surprised. Who is the one who hit the ghost? Aunt Calyx should have some impression."

Calyx Ji wiped the sweat from her forehead: "It's not just the slave family who bumped into ghosts near the small Buddha hall. Even if the slave family heard about it, I really don't know who the first person bumped into."

As she spoke, she looked at Lin Chengyou nervously, thinking that she would be made difficult again, but Lin Chengyou took the initiative to help her: "Is it a rumor, it was half true when I heard it, how can it be so easy to find out the source? It doesn't seem strange."

Calyx Ji squeezed out a smile that was uglier than crying: "The prince really understands people. The slave family hopes that the prince will catch the murderer as soon as possible, and can't wait to tell the prince what he knows."

Lin Chengyou really looked at Calyx Ji: "I can already feel the sincerity of Aunt Calyx. Let's ask this first today. Aunt Calyx will tell the yamen when she goes out, and ask Boss He to come up and talk back."

Calyx Ji was relieved, she just retreated to the door when she heard Lin Chengyou say: "Forgot to tell Aunt Calyx, the 'girl ghost' you saw that night is most likely the murderer, if you think of anything after returning to the room, immediately ask the yamen to give it to me Spread the word."

"Murderer?" Calyx Ji turned her head in shock, "Isn't that a female ghost?"

Lin Chengyou smirked, and didn't mean to answer. Calyx Ji stared at Lin Chengyou for a while, and nodded uncertainly: "You must think about it after returning home."

After Qiji left, Yan Sizhi said while writing: "Chengyou, don't you think this Qiji's speech is full of loopholes? Earlier, I said, 'The slave family can't tell whether that thing is a human or a ghost', but later changed it to 'It's impossible for people to fly like that. Come on, it's definitely a ghost'."

Lin Chengyou said with a sarcastic smile: "Brother Yan, do you think she is telling us this, or is she telling herself?"

Yan Sizhi put down the pen: "Does she have any doubts in her heart, and wants to convince herself with these words?"

Lin Chengyou smiled and said, "I guess she either remembers who the female ghost looks like, but she doesn't want to believe it, so she uses this method to convince herself. Or—"

"She is the murderer herself?" Yan Si went straight to the point, "yes, it's all about this time. Who else would lie except the murderer? Chengyou, why don't you try this calyx girl with Sezuzhu, the murderer can do martial arts, is that true? She'll know after a try."

Lin Chengyou shook his head: "I can't try it. This method can only be used once. The murderer knew that I was deliberately testing her, and he would rather have one eyeball broken without revealing the contents."

Yan Si straightly said: "Then we can only check one by one, but we don't even know what grudges the murderer has with sister Yao Huang, and we don't know how to investigate the motive."

"No matter how well you hide it, there will always be times when it will be revealed." Lin Chengyou looked down at the testimony on the table, "Actually, it's easy to say that Calyx Ji is the murderer, no matter the motive or the origin, it can always be found out. But in case she didn't lie, When she talked about the female ghost, she repeatedly showed a puzzled look, clearly thinking of something."

Yan Sizhi thought about it: "It's about life and safety, so there's no reason to cover up the murderer. Besides, Calyx Ji is a person who is very good at protecting herself. She's lying, and I'd rather believe that she herself is the murderer."

Lin Chengyou thought for a while, and said to the yamen outside the door: "Let Boss He wait downstairs for a while, and call Juan Erli, Wei Zi and Baozhu to ask questions first."

The first one to come was the pear roll.

She seemed to be a little out of spirit, and she didn't say anything after entering the room. She bowed straight to Lin Chengyou and Yan Si, and then silently stepped aside.

Yan Sizhi looked at the curling pear, and felt a pity in his heart, this orchid is surprisingly beautiful, but unfortunately, her demeanor is a little dull, and her appearance has lost a bit of color when she is stunned.

For the first time, Lin Chengyou looked straight at Juanerli and said that Teng Yuyi looked a bit like Juanerli and Gejin, but he didn't see any resemblance.

If you have to compare, the eyes are a bit similar, they are all the same apricot circle and clear, but Teng Yuyi's eyes are full of water light, the long eyelashes blink, the water light seems to be rippling, a frown. A smile is more agile than Juan Erli's eyes, but it's a pity that there are all bad ideas in the water.

He snorted inwardly and picked up the sachet questionnaire: "Have you seen this sachet?"

Juan Erli shook her head gently: "Last night was the first time I saw the slave family."

After questioning Juanerli, Lin Chengyou called Baozhu and Wei Zi in one by one.

Unsurprisingly, none of the three had seen the sachet.

As for what happened on the fifteenth two months ago, Baozhu and Juanerli's statement was consistent with Calyx Ji. Wei Zi was with the guests in the front building that night, and she didn't know that Juanerli had been bullied, but her later experience in the garden was also consistent with Calyx Ji's account.

Lin Chengyou then asked: Have you ever seen anyone haunting the small Buddha hall at night? Who was the first to say that he hit a ghost in the small Buddhist hall?

The three of them said they had never met, but they all remembered that the first time they mentioned that they hit a ghost in the small Buddhist hall, it was Aunt Calyx.

Finally, I inquired about the people of Yuezhou, and everyone like Juan Erli knew nothing. Seeing that there was nothing to ask, Lin Chengyou had to let them go back first.

Yan Si's face was complicated: "After all, the first person to say that she saw a ghost in the small Buddha hall was Caly Ji herself? She is smart, and she has concealed other things, but she is willing to talk about Juanerli. To be honest, it is estimated that she also knows it in her heart, and she will know the truth when she asks it."

Lin Chengyou stroked his chin: "It's not clear for the time being whether it's true or not. Now it can only prove that the four of them had walked together that night, but Caly Ji joined them later. When she was alone, Whether she hit a ghost or went to the small Buddha hall, she is the only one who speaks at the moment."

Yan Sizhi gave a bewildered "Huh": "Chengyou, today you never leave the 'Little Buddha Hall', did you find something in it?"

Lin Chengyou patted his forehead, turned his head and said with a smile: "Forgot to tell Big Brother Yan, last night my two junior brothers found out that someone had performed sorcery in the small Buddhist hall. From the way of setting up the formation, it is very likely that they killed him. Qingzhi's murderer. I suspect that some people deliberately spread rumors that the Little Buddha Hall is haunted, in order to make people afraid to approach the Little Buddha Hall."

Yan Sizhi was stunned: "According to this, isn't Calyx the most suspicious? This is strange, the sachet came from the Taozhi Embroidery Workshop in Yuezhou, but Calyx is a native of Chang'an. When did she go to Yuezhou? , why did you want to kill Sister Yao Huang??"

A thought popped into Lin Chengyou's mind, and he summoned the yamen outside to say, "Go to Chengwang's mansion for me, and tell Commander Chang that there is a bamboo husk under the bed in my room, and ask him to take it out and bring it to me as soon as possible."

As soon as the yamen left, Lin Chengyou also got up, Yan Sizhi didn't know what he meant: "What's wrong?"

"I think we're going wrong. Brother Yan, you should check the rest of the people first, and I'll go to the Little Buddha Hall."

***

It was raining outside, and the spring rain was continuous, as thin as hair, and sprinkled down the head, like a wet light sarong on the face.

Lin Chengyou returned to the Small Buddha Hall in the rain, and from a distance, he saw the lights in the hall glowing brightly. There were two yamen standing at the door. They were looking in through the window. When they looked back and saw Lin Chengyou, they said in unison, "Everyone is inside."

Lin Chengyou nodded and walked quickly into the small Buddha hall.

The hall is full of people, and the four sitting postures on the left are slanted and crooked.

The three sitting figures on the right are slightly better, and they are Jue Sheng, Abandoning Wisdom, and Seeing Joy.

There were still two standing in front of the incense table, one was Cheng Bo with his arms crossed, and the other was Huo Qiu with his arms crossed.

Everyone's eyes fell on the moving figure in the hall. The man was holding a Bi Yingying dagger, stretched his shoulders and stretched his arms, and turned around lightly, making a gesture.

Teng Yuyi learned the tenth move, and gradually felt a little enlightened. The gap between moves became shorter and shorter, and the sword was no longer so clumsy.

When I learned the Kee swordsmanship of Cheng Bo before, the heat in my body always felt stagnant and condensed, but this set of brown swordsmanship is different.

Just as he was practicing hard, he suddenly felt a glance from behind him. Teng Yuyi was already familiar with this look on the back of his head, and he automatically gave birth to an unpleasant feeling. After a glance, he saw a tall figure walking in from outside.

Lin Chengyou was still wearing the hosta green round-neck robe that morning. This color was worn more often by women, and her complexion was always very picky, but wearing it on Lin Chengyou did not reduce the air of Yingmai at all, and the goldfish bag around her waist followed suit. His steps were faintly sound, and the dark black rhinoceros belt tied a good waist.

Teng Yuyi smiled and calculated in her heart, this fellow is rich and proud, and he always looks down on the world on weekdays. If he wears a red peony flower on his hairpin, he will look like a big golden rooster with a vermilion crown in the Cockfighting Square.

Lin Chengyou didn't know that Teng Yuyi had compared him to a cockfighting **** in his heart, but it didn't prevent him from staring at Teng Yuyi with teasing eyes, and he didn't know how the five ways were taught. people.

He laughed in his heart, and was about to brag about Teng Yuyi's nonsense, such as "extraordinary talent", "great birth", "practice like this will become a great weapon" and so on, when Tian suddenly bounced off the ground: "Sir , the nine-day fire ring has been arranged, don't believe it, today is a good luck, I invited the Samadhi True Fire Talisman in an hour, it happened to be raining outside, let's come in to avoid the rain."

After I finished speaking, I felt that something was wrong, and when I saw Lin Chengyou, it was like his **** was blown into a flower.

Lin Chengyou smiled and said, "I might not believe it if it was someone else, but I know the abilities of the five seniors."

Wu Dao loves to listen to others flattering him, and after hearing this, he immediately ironed it again: "Hurry up, hurry up, while the two monsters don't come, the prince comes here to rest for a while."

Lin Chengyou went straight to the incense table: "Young Master Wang, let it go."

Teng Yuyi pretended to notice Lin Chengyou, didn't even turn her head, and avoided it in a flash. The small Buddha hall is so big, and Lin Chengyou didn't go anywhere else to trouble her. In order to catch up with the schedule, she didn't even dare to drink saliva, and quarreling and fighting would only delay her work.

Lin Chengyou didn't expect Teng Yuyi to retreat so quickly, and it felt like a punch on the soft cloth, but this was exactly what he wanted, so there was no need to waste his lips.

He squatted down to examine the felt blanket under the incense case, and there was no trace on the surface. He turned over and couldn't find the imprint at once. Qizhi ran to Lin Chengyou and squatted down, pointing with his fat finger: "Senior brother, here."

Lin Chengyou squinted his eyes, and the pattern of abandoning wisdom was exactly drawn. This is the Qimang Guiding Road Seal. This sorcery is from the same sect as the secret stalking soul technique that undermined Qingzhi, and other sects can't learn it.

It should be the same person, and the cultivation base is not low.

He coughed, and two yamen came in silently, locking their eyes on everyone, secretly paying attention to everyone's every move.

The attention of all the Taoists was all drawn away by the felt blanket, and they did not pay attention to the movement at the door. They swarmed around Lin Chengyou and lowered their heads curiously.

Glancing at the imprint, he said in amazement, "Isn't this the Qimang Guiding Road Seal?"

Although Teng Yuyi ran to the side to practice swordsmanship, her ears kept sticking up. Seeing Tian's call, she asked curiously, "Sir, what is the Qimang Guiding Road Seal?"

"A kind of sorcery, it's not enough for a person to die, and the soul of the deceased must be tortured and humiliated with a ghost weapon.

Seeing the sky, I was excited and disgusted: "I haven't seen this kind of sorcery for many years. Is it the same person who killed Yao Huangqingzhi? Shizi, have you found out who did it?"

Lin Chengyou continued to search the neighborhood: "It's good to find it, this person is very thoughtful, and his life is rare. Take this Seven Lights Guiding Road Seal as an example. When doing this, you need to release seven Fire Seal Lamps at one time. If you lose your mind a little bit, you will drop a spark or a dharma seal, but you have also seen that there is a huge small Buddhist hall, leaving only a small trace."

Jianxi stared at the brand and said suspiciously, "I remember that this sorcery has some rules."

"There are a lot of rules." Lin Chengyou raised his head and looked under the incense case, "The first three are: don't stick to Chun Xuan's soul, don't stick to the soul of a child, don't stick to the soul of a distant place."

Teng Yuyi slowed down her moves. She could understand the first two, which would not harm parents or children. It meant that although the practitioners of sorcery were vicious and had not lost their conscience, she could not understand the third.

Fortunately, in addition to her, there are two people who are just as curious as she is in the small Buddhist hall.

I just heard Jue Sheng ask: "Senior brother, does this 'soul not limited to the far place' refer to the soul that is not limited to too far?"

Seeing Le sneered and laughed: "Silly boy, this means that this formation can't do whatever you want, you can only detain the souls that died in a certain place, for example, if you cast spells in Caifeng Tower, you can only arrest them and die in the building. The soul of the man—"

Teng Yuyi's ear exploded, who died in the building? The two sisters Yao Huang and Qingzhi were killed not long ago, but the brand under the blanket does not seem to have been left recently, indicating that the target of the man's sorcery was not the Yao Huang sisters, it would be strange, the murderer was obviously from Caifenglou Man, why deal with the dead before?

Wu Dao also seemed startled, and looked around blankly: "How many people have died in this place? No, doesn't it mean that the building has always been haunted, and no one has been killed?"

Jianle has heard a lot of rumors about this place recently: "You don't know, this place used to be a home of Cai Silk Store.
