MTL - Capture the Jade-Chapter 51 Where did the prince go last night?

Teng Yuyi ordered the maids to step back, leaving only Cheng Bo and Duanfu at the door.

"Prince, that Specter came uninvited tonight, I wonder if there is another reason."

Lin Chengyou: "What do you think?"

"The time when the tree demon was told by the sage priest, the tree demon is obsessed with the skin of beautiful women, and is extremely picky before doing it. In addition to choosing a woman's appearance, she will also pay attention to whether the woman's skin is damaged, but when my sister entered the bamboo forest that time Before, the embroidery scissors accidentally cut the palm of the hand because of the ribbon-cutting victory.

Du Tinglan spread out his palm: "This is my wound at that time, and I asked the prince to take a look."

Teng Yuyi added: "This wound is not shallow. When my sister entered the woods, the bleeding had not been completely stopped. The monster's sense of smell is very sensitive, and you can smell blood from a long distance. , but it ambushed the cousin, and according to the cousin's retrospect, the tree demon should have been dormant in the forest a long time ago, not to covet her skin, but to take her life. This is strange, whether my sister is in Yangzhou or Chang'an , has never had a grudge against anyone, and the only one who can be considered a festival is only one Lu Zhaoan."

Lin Chengyou already knew about these things, he would make people follow Lu Zhaoan, not only because this person might be harmful to others, he was also curious about how Lu Zhaoan controlled the tree demon.

It's a pity that after staring at him for almost a month, Lu Zhaoan has not shown his intentions. It was not until Hu Jizhen suddenly lost his soul a while ago that things took a turn.

"The prince should have noticed it long ago. I also sent people to follow Lu Zhaoan these days. I heard that a young master Hu suddenly suffered from a strange disease the day before yesterday, and I became even more suspicious of Lu Zhaoan."

Teng Yuyi said that Lu Zhaoan only cared about his escape that night.

Lin Chengyou raised his eyebrows, so it turned out that he had guessed that Hu Ji really knew what Lu Zhaoan's secret was, and he thought that there was still this koan case.

"You already knew about this?"

Teng Yuyi nodded: "Young Master Hu almost lost his life on the spot, I thought he would definitely spread the matter everywhere, but he kept his mouth shut, and the client himself would not expose Lu Zhaoan's true face, so I wouldn't be able to do it for me. After a while, I listened to Saying that Mr. Hu has a strange disease, Shizi, don't you think the timing of Mr. Hu's illness is too coincidental?"

"So you suspect that Lu Zhaoan did it?"

Teng Yuyi: "The imperial court will hold an election soon, and the marriage between Lu Zhaoan and the Zheng family is still pending, so it is not surprising that Lu Zhaoan will take risks. Now Hu Jizhen is ill, and there is another person who knows the details of Lu Zhaoan. My sister, tonight the female ghost somehow found the Teng mansion, and it happened that my sister lived in the mansion, so I have reason to suspect that the ghost was attracted by Lu Zhaoan."

The last sentence is a bit far-fetched, but in this way, it makes sense why she hits ghosts one after another.

Lin Chengyou laughed, Teng Yuyi seemed to be afraid of the reputation of "unlucky ghost", but she should not forget why the corpse evil suddenly stared at her is still a mystery.

But when she said this, she was barely able to make sense. By using the ghost to get rid of the people who wanted to get rid of, the murderer can get away with his whole body.

Teng Yuyi glanced at the smile in Lin Chengyou's black eyes, and knew that he still had some doubts in his heart, but even if he did not fully accept this statement, he could not deny the possibility.

"You get rid of your people." He looked at her for a while, and said, "Lu Zhaoan is very vigilant. Too many people staring at him will startle the snake."

Teng Yuyi hurriedly said: "Okay, I'll tell them not to follow tomorrow."

Lin Chengyou paused, agreeing so happily, he was actually a little uncomfortable. Except for the time when we dealt with the corpse evil together, it was rare to see Teng Yuyi willing to cooperate with her obediently.

"In addition, please ask Mrs. Du to give me the letter that Lu Zhaoan wrote to you at that time. If Lu Zhaoan used something like cinnabar talismans, there will be some traces left on the letter. I have to be sure whether he can know mysticism. "

Du Tinglan and Teng Yuyi looked at each other. Although Lin Chengyou never advertised his character, and sometimes he was a little bit stingy, but after the grandfather went to Qingyun Temple to tell Lin Chengyou the truth last time, it was true that there was no rumor from Changan that it was not good for the Du family. It can be seen that Lin Chengyou will do what he says, and will never leak if he says it will not be leaked.

"Okay, tomorrow will be handed over to the prince." Du Tinglan's tone was full of gratitude.

Teng Yuyi took the opportunity to say, "I don't worry about my sister going back to the mansion, but I don't know Taoism. Even if I have Xiaoyajian to protect me, I am still too tired to deal with the ghosts who are high in Taoism. Last time, the two little Taoists gave me There are a lot of talismans, but they don't seem to be of any use, I'm afraid that in a few days, someone will lure ghosts to Teng Mansion—"

As she said, she pointed to the bell on her wrist logically: "The Xuanyin bell still can't be taken off. I'm very worried that it will disturb the prince again. With the formation of defense, it won't disturb people's dreams in the middle of the night."

Lin Chengyou had long guessed that she was bothering to entertain him because of this, but what she said was exactly what he wanted, because he also annoyed the bell to death.

In addition, he was also curious about whether Teng Yuyi's small courtyard would be anything strange. It is not easy to manipulate such a ghost, and even the most cautious person will leave traces nearby. After Teng Yuyi said this, he took advantage of the situation and looked out the window. Look: "The formation method, it's not difficult, but I still have one thing to figure out. I'd like to trouble Mrs. Teng to call out all the servants in the house. I want to take a good look."

Before Teng Yuyi could be happy, there was a buzz in his head, Lin Chengyou suspected that there were thieves in the Teng Mansion.

Fortunately, after Lin Chengyou checked the servants in the mansion, he didn't find anything wrong. The next step was to arrange the formation, which took a lot of work. When Lin Chengyou was finished, the sky turned white.

Teng Yuyi hurriedly ordered Cheng Bo to carefully prepare breakfast. The people in Teng's house were so fast that they presented a table of good things in a blink of an eye.

Lin Chengyou was about to leave, but when he saw this frowning, Teng Yuyi seemed to want to give a hundred times more energy to entertain, and there were both soup and noodles on the table.

Teng Yuyi and Du Tinglan couldn't finish so many things, what a pity it was wasted, he shook his head secretly, and had to reluctantly stay for breakfast.

The breakfast was set in the flower hall, and there was a screen in the hall. Lin Chengyou sat outside the screen, while Teng Yuyi and Du Tinglan sat inside the screen.

Lin Chengyou thought when he was raising the chopsticks, it seemed that he hadn't had such a grand breakfast for a long time.

In the past six months, the grandfather and the second brother are not in Chang'an, and the younger sister is in the palace. hunger. Even if you have breakfast in the Chengwang Mansion, you can eat it casually.

Teng Yuyi and Du Tinglan were very disciplined when they dined. They didn't hear the sound of bowls and chopsticks in the screen. Suddenly, Du Tinglan said in a low voice, "This one is good for your body, so don't pick it out."

Lin Chengyou thought to himself, Teng Yuyi is really a little childish sometimes, look, he is a picky eater even when he is so old.

He ran out of it quickly, and glanced at the screen before leaving: "This formation is only set up around the Teng Mansion, I can't guarantee anything if the formation is out, you and your elder sister are the best for these few nights. Don't wander off."

Teng Yuyi stood behind the screen and greeted her benefactor: "You walk slowly. Don't worry, we will never run around at night."

Lin Chengyou walked to the door, and saw the rising sun on the front, and the light sky showed a bright orange, which was so cute.

When going down the steps, he unconsciously stepped a little faster. It was strange to say that after working all night, he didn't feel tired at all. After thinking about it, it was estimated that the Huoyu Linggen Tang he drank last time still had some residual medicinal effects. for the sake of.

When he arrived at the gate of Teng Mansion, Cheng Bo had already prepared his horse.

Lin Chengyou thanked him and drove his horse to Prince Cheng's mansion.

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

"Where did the prince go last night?" Kuan Nu complained, "The villain went to Dongming Temple to find the five priests, and when he came back, the prince disappeared."

Commander Chang also sighed: "The prince said hello to the little people when he left."

Lin Chengyou threw the reins to the servants waiting at the door, and said with a smile, "I'm sorry, there was another haunted place last night. I walked too quickly and forgot to tell you. By the way, last night How's the Five Paths?"

"There are three Taoist priests in the Guanli who are recovering from their injuries. They are the villains received by the two Taoist priests, Jianxi and Jiantian. They took the ingot of the prince and went to the nunnery to remove the trouble."

Commander Chang looked at Lin Chengyou's expression, the little prince's long eyebrows stretched out, and after catching the ghost for a long time, his complexion was surprisingly good.

"Have you had breakfast for the prince?"

Lin Chengyou said casually, "I have used it."

So early?

Lin Chengyou glanced at Chang Rong and Kuan Nu, and stepped into the mansion: "Hu Bing Shop just bought a piece of Hu Bing."

Is there a Hu Bishou restaurant that opens so early? Commander Chang looked at the back of the little master and didn't ask any more questions, he only secretly planned to ask the chef to make some more houto, and suddenly remembered a serious matter: "By the way, the yamen in Dali Temple just came to look for the prince and said that the prince should go to Dali as soon as possible. A visit to the temple."

"What's up?"

"It is said that a strange female corpse was sent."

Lin Chengyou was stunned for a moment, then strode back to the backyard, making people prepare bath soup, put on official clothes after bathing, and drove his horse to Dali Temple.

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

Yan Sizhi's expression was much paler than usual, whether he was too tired or frightened.

"Lin Pingshi, follow Yan to the morgue."

Lin Chengyou had never seen Yan Sizhi so rude, and couldn't help but wonder, "What kind of corpse? Is it wrong?"

Yan Sizhi wiped away his cold sweat: "I know it at a glance, the prince only inquired about it last night,"

Arriving at the door of the morgue, Lin Chengyou smelled a strong suffocating aura before entering, which is the unique breath of Li Gui. Pushing the door open, he saw a corpse on the corpse bed. The top of the corpse was covered with a white cloth. It appears to be a female corpse.

Lin Chengyou walked to the corpse bed, raised his hand and lifted the white cloth. Although he was prepared, he was still surprised. What caught his eye was a familiar face, the female ghost who broke into Teng's residence last night. .

His eyes moved down quickly, and sure enough, he saw the wound on the woman's abdomen.

Yan Sizhi couldn't hold back, turned his head and vomited, knowing that he had lost his way, and tried his best to restrain himself: "Yesterday when the prince inquired about the case in Tongzhou, Yan didn't take it seriously, and only after seeing the woman's corpse did he know how many murderers there were. Cruel. Such a small fetus can't survive even if it is stolen, why would the murderer do this?"

Lin Chengyou's face was not very good-looking, but he knew that the more brutal the case was, the more careful the corpse had to be. After a closer look, he found that the woman's wounds were messy and disorderly, not like being cut by a sharp blade. Torn apart by hand.

"Is this a corpse sent from the same state?"

Yan Wanchun was stunned: "No, this woman is from Chang'an, her name is Shu Liniang, she is only twenty years old this year, and lives in Chun'an Lane in Chonghua Fang—"

Before the words were finished, there was a commotion outside, and the yamen shouted from outside: "Yan Sizhi, you were on duty last night, the judge from the Tongzhou government brought the case in person, and the body of the victim is now in the hall. A couple, oh, come out and take a look, the death is too bad."

Lin Chengyou and Yan Wanchun looked at each other and walked quickly to the door.

The yamen suddenly saw Lin Chengyou, and said stunned: "Did the prince rest in the yamen last night, or did he come early in the morning?"

Lin Chengyou couldn't care less about gossiping: "Is a couple sent here? How did they die?"

The yamen fought a cold war: "The wife was killed by Caesarean section."

Lin Chengyou was stunned for a while, and Yan Wanchun was also shocked: "So the story of the prince is actually true. This, is this what the same person did..."

Lin Chengyou went straight around the yamen and walked out: "I haven't seen Tongzhou submit a file two days ago, why did you just bring the corpse here?"

The yamen followed Lin Chengyou step by step: "I heard from the law officer that the local prefecture was trying to track down the murderer, but the yamen suddenly became haunted by ghosts. Anyone who has seen ghosts said that the ghost of the couple is at work, and the prefecture is afraid of it. The case is not easy, so I had to order Fa Cao to bring the couple's corpse to Chang'an."
