MTL - Capture the Jade-Chapter 129
There were only the two of them in the court, Teng Yuyi said with a smile: "There are many names under me. Outsiders are called 'Wang Gongzi', and at home there is a small character 'Ayu', and when catching monsters, there is another name, and the word 'Wuwei' is me It was given by my brother."
Lin Chengyou smiled and nodded: "Wuwei, Wuwei, 'The Tao is always inactive and nothing is not done, all things will be self-transforming', with this Taoist name, just to help you put a little pressure on this troubled little Taoist. , Daoist Wuwei won't be bad, right?"
"So-so, there is still one thing that is far worse than my brother."
"Come and listen."
"Skinned. I have never met someone who likes to praise himself more than my senior brother. Speaking of thick-skinned, he is number one in the world."
Lin Chengyou snorted: "I'm so inaction, I can teach you. It's good to know that I still have shortcomings. Are you planning to go out with my senior brother today to be good at it?"
"Everything is ready, I'm here to invite Senior Brother." As he spoke, he walked under the red plum tree and looked at Lin Chengyou with a smile and low eyebrows.
"It's okay for me to take you out for a long time." Lin Chengyou refused to move. "It's just that the snow on the ground hasn't cleared, and I'm going to be slippery. I'll have to be supported by someone later."
Lin Chengyou could say such cheeky words. Teng Yuyi looked around and saw that the servants of Prince Cheng's mansion knew the rules very well. He probably knew that the little master didn't like to be disturbed, so he avoided it a long time ago.
In a huge courtyard, all I could hear was the soft sound of the breeze blowing across the branches of red plums.
Teng Yuyi helped Lin Chengyou get up, and it was necessary to help, but after all, the two were not married yet, it would be somewhat inappropriate to help Lin Chengyou walk around like this.
After hesitating, Teng Yuyi looked at Lin Chengyou's sleeve, and his mind suddenly moved: "Then I have to borrow something from my senior brother."
Lin Chengyou shook out the lock soul from his sleeve: "This?"
Teng Yuyi broke Lin Chengyou's hand and let him hold the silver chain tightly, while he held the other end firmly, and then told Changchong: "You are fine, don't let go of your master casually."
Chang Woong was very reluctant to be dispatched by Teng Yuyi, but he still slowly entangled Lin Chengyou's hand.
Teng Yuyi checked to make sure it was stable enough, and then led Lin Chengyou forward: "With me, I will never let you bump into it."
Lin Chengyou's smile deepened, and he followed Teng Yuyi unhurriedly.
The long silver chains, with one end in Teng Yuyi's hand and the other in Lin Chengyou's hand, were not too close, but they kept walking.
Every time I walk through a flower tree, petals will fall on the heads and bodies of the two people in a random manner. The shape is like a spring rain, and the color is like a rainbow. If you go further, there will be apricot flowers blooming. The petals swirl with the wind, lively and splashing. They chased the two figures away, looking like a gorgeous painting from a distance.
While walking, someone in the painting said with a smile, "What do I do when I look back?"
Although Lin Chengyou couldn't see it, he could hear the sound of Teng Yuyi's temple jewelry shaking when he turned back.
Teng Yuyi was using her eyes to carefully confirm whether there were stones under Lin Chengyou's feet. That time when she was taken to the underground palace by Nai Chong, Lin Chengyou used the lock soul to lead her out of the underground palace.
"If you think about what it was like to watch me and you in the underground palace in the jade crown, you will know why I am like this."
Lin Chengyou said slowly: "I just remember that you were afraid that I would lose you, and you bullied the Suohunzhi to the point of screaming. Teng Yuyi, were you domineering when you were young?"
Teng Yuyi snorted: "No, think about it again, how did you treat me in the underground palace."
Lin Chengyou smiled and stopped talking.
Teng Yuyi was silent for a while, and couldn't help but look back at him again. This time, she looked emotional and emotional, her eyes were astringent, but it was extremely soft. At that time, Lin Chengyou was like she is now, and every few steps she would look back to confirm whether she was right or not. still behind him.
From the day they met, he either kept saying that she was annoying, or made a special trip to fight against her, but his heart was already tied to her.
Her heart is sour and sweet. Lin Chengyou reminded her with a smile: "Be careful of your feet, don't fall if I didn't fall, you fell first."
But I saw that the steward's maid, Caiping, who was beside Princess Cheng, came to find her.
Cai Ping was surprised when she saw the two of them, and then she smiled again.
In the past few months, Dalang has never had a smile on his face, let alone let anyone help him.
Today's scene makes people want to laugh from the heart.
Thanks to these two kids for coming up with this idea.
Lin Chengyou listened carefully, and said to Teng Yu, "This is Sister Caiping next to A-Niang."
Teng Yuyi was busy and respectful.
Cai Ping looked at Teng Yuyi carefully, smiling until she couldn't close her mouth: "The princess asked Dalang and Mrs. Teng if they wanted to go out. Breakfast is prepared in the flower hall, and I told you to leave after breakfast."
Teng Yuyi came to Lin Chengyou in a hurry this morning, but she really didn't have time to have breakfast.
Lin Chengyou said, "Suddenly I want to eat dim sum, is there any red plum cake?"
Cai Ping was stunned, Shi Zi Ke never liked snacks, but she still smiled and said, "There are some."
Lin Chengyou said again: "Tell A-Yu and A-Niang for me, we are going out to investigate the case today, and we probably won't be back at noon, so we don't have to wait for us to eat in the house."
When they arrived at the flower hall, the house was full of children, and the two sat down and had a lively breakfast with everyone.
After dinner, Teng Yuyi went to Azhi's room to change into a robe, Azhi walked around Teng Yuyi, touched the disguise mask on Teng Yuyi's face for a while, and looked at her attire for a while. His brother was arguing that he wanted to go out with them to handle the case. In the end, Princess Cheng asked Azhi to be taken to the upper room in the name of checking her daughter's newly learned swordsmanship.
The Magpie Alley was much more noisy than the night before, and the residents in the alley were still frightened. They gathered in twos and threes to discuss the new murder case that happened last night.
The yamen were busy dispersing the crowd.
The person killed last night was named Wang Dachun. He was not a resident of Magpie Lane, but a watchman who was a watchman. He was killed at about four watchdog days. The first person to discover Chen Dachun's body was Wuhou, who was patrolling nearby.
Wang Dachun's death is the same as that of Liu Weng, who was murdered last time.
Coincidentally, Wang Dachun's body was lying outside Liu Weng's house.
The officers searched for Wang Dachun's corpse and said to Chen Si straight: "Wang Dachun is sixty-five this year, and he is also a widow. The neighbors didn't hear the shouting when it was sent. It should be a fatal blow. It seems that the murderer sneaked into Liu Weng's house last night. It happened that Wang Dachun came here to play the watch and ran into the murderer. The murderer killed him in order to silence him. ."
Chen Sizhi was about to answer when suddenly someone said, "Wrong. Wang Dachun didn't happen to pass by, but came prepared."
Everyone turned their heads in surprise. I don't know when there were two more people. Lin Chengyou squatted halfway where the blood was sprayed, rubbing something with his fingers. Beside him, there was a little Taoist priest squatting. The little Taoist priest looked at the ground carefully and described the shape and scope of the blood to Lin Chengyou.
Chen Sizhi and others rushed up to meet them: "Lin Pingshi."
Lin Chengyou said with a smile: "Liu Weng's case has a lot of oddities. I heard that there was another murder case this morning, so I came to have a look. Chen Sizhi, is Wang Dachun's wound as neat as Liu Weng's?"
Everyone looked at the ground cautiously, unaware that Lin Chengyou did not touch the residual blood under his feet. They were stunned for a moment, and then they realized that the little Taoist priest beside Lin Chengyou had played a role. When they looked at Teng Yuyi, their faces became more curious.
"Chen Sizhi?"
"Oh." Chen Sizhi came back to his senses, "That's right, and Wang Dachun's head hasn't been found yet. Lin Pingshi, why do you say that Wang Dachun came prepared?"
Lin Chengyou made a virtual circle in front of him with his hand: "It was the fourth watch at the time, and someone was killed in this house not long ago. According to common sense, Wang Dachun would leave in a hurry after the watch, but after careful comparison , there is a series of clean footprints inside the gate, the size and shape are exactly the same as Wang Dachun, the blame is that it is not stained with blood, it can be seen that it was left before Wang Dachun was killed. But this house is not only locked every night, but also posted on the Dali Temple If you don't climb over the wall and go in, it is impossible to leave footprints inside. This means that Wang Dachun sneaked into the house last night, and happened to collide with the murderer. Wang Dachun was no match for the murderer. The murderer took his life in a few steps."
Chen Sizhi followed these words to check inside and outside the house, and sure enough, everything was right. The previous contempt and impatient expressions were finally completely put away, and he hurriedly put on a smile and said: "Lin Jue decides the case like a god. Chen Wan Wan never imagined that a watchman could have so many tricks."
Teng Yuyi looked at the Dali Temple official behind Lin Chengyou. When she looked at people, she didn't look at the skin, she looked at people's bones. Chen Sizhi was in his thirties, and he looked gentle on the face, but he didn't have Yan Sizhi in him. The patience in handling the case is far less than that of Yan Sizhi.
Such a comparison further highlights the value of Yan Sizhi.
Teng Yuyi sighed regretfully, things are right and wrong, Lin Chengyou lost more than a pair of eyes, but also lost his most trusted colleague and partner. She could imagine how sad Lin Chengyou was when she learned of Yan Sizhi's death.
"In my opinion, the three of them may have known each other in the past." Lin Chengyou said, "Wang Dachun was originally working in Yining Square, but he managed to transfer here not long ago. Maybe he came for Liu Weng, which is also related to the murderer. Their intentions coincided. The three were fighting infighting, or robbing the same thing. The murderer not only committed the murder, but also took the heads of the two away after the incident, mostly because we were afraid that we would ask who he was through the mouths of the ghosts. The head was cut off, which means that the spiritual orifices of the tongue and throat are gone. Even if you turn into a ghost, you can't tell who killed you. Besides, the murderer should have killed more than one person in the past. I came here last night. , I found that there were wandering spirits in the alley, if the murderer was watching nearby at that time, it means that his murder was heavy, and no matter where he went, there were evil spirits following him."
Chen Sizhi said suspiciously: "According to Lin's comments, what exactly are the murderer and Wang Dachun looking for? Liu Weng was only a charcoal seller during his lifetime, and logically he has no valuable furniture."
"Whether something is worth it, you have to find it out and look at it." Lin Chengyou said thoughtfully, "The biggest doubt in these two cases is the murder weapon. What kind of sharp weapon can cut off a person's head so quickly, with neat edges. Not to mention, Liu Weng and Wang Dachun didn't even have time to call for help before they were killed, but this technique reminded me of a familiar hidden weapon."
Teng Yuyi's heart skipped a beat, and the silver wire hidden weapon suddenly appeared in her mind.
Although it has been known that the master behind the scenes is the Prince of Chun'an County, the Prince of Chun'an County only said that the silver wire weapon was bought by Haoyue Sanren with a lot of money. They figured it was light and easy to use, and could kill people invisibly. As for where Haoyue Sanren originally came from, it has always been a mystery.
I remember that when everyone was discussing ways to deal with corpses in Caifeng Tower, they mentioned that the sergeants of Jiannan Road met the corpse king in Nanzhao Kingdom, and they sawed it down with a string-like weapon in the military camp. The fangs of the Corpse King were able to exorcise evil spirits.
Could it be that this murder weapon was originally passed down from Nanzhao to the Central Plains.
"By the way, Chen Sizhi, when I came yesterday afternoon, I asked Dong Yali to go to Chang'an County to ask for Liu Weng's household registration. Can I get it back now?"
Chen Sizhi snorted: "I found it. It turns out that Liu Weng is not from Chang'an. He moved to Chang'an from Jiannan Road more than ten years ago. He used to make a special trip between Nanzhao and Jiannan Road. Selling goods for a living, as for what goods are sold, it is not clear."
Teng Yuyi was shocked, could it be related to Nanzhao Kingdom.
"It's better to check Wang Dachun's origins along the way." Lin Chengyou said, "Before he came to Chang'an as a watchman, he might have also stayed in Jiannan Road and Nanzhao Kingdom. Last year, an expensive silver wire was secretly popular in the market. The weapons probably came from the witch land of Nanzhao Kingdom, if Liu Weng and Wang Dachun were both killed by such hidden weapons, I can roughly guess what the murderer's purpose was."
I remember when investigating the case of Uncle Huang and Haoyue Sanren, he once inquired about the price of this kind of silver wire weapon in the market. Take Zhuang Mu as an example. The price of a piece of silver wire in this person’s hand is 10,000 yuan. The owner of Caifeng Building, Peng Yugui The family has a huge amount of money, and only bought one for self-defense.
I heard that there are many people in the world who want to get this kind of weapon, but because of the suppression of the imperial court, they dare not trade it blatantly.
It's a pity that Peng Zhen and Uncle Huang happened one after another.
It seems that as soon as the wind has passed, these people are ready to move again.
I have also heard that there is a remote witch-guzzling place in Nanzhao. The local people have always been isolated from the world for many years, and they have always had a pure temperament. people.
This silver wire hidden weapon may originate from a mining pool in a deep valley somewhere in Nanzhao country. If one masters the unique secret of making this silver wire hidden weapon, he only needs to secretly sell it for two or three years to become rich. .
Chen Sizhi also heard about the cases in the past year, and said after thinking: "According to this, Liu Weng, the murderer, and Wang Dachun are likely to work together to sell silver wire hidden weapons. But for some reason, the three broke up. The murderer and Wang Dachun thought that Liu Weng had hidden the remaining goods, so one of them killed Liu Weng and searched everywhere, and the other went to Magpie Lane to make a special trip. The murderer even risked being discovered and sneaked back to Liu's house again. "
With such a stroke, the originally foggy case suddenly became a lot clearer.
An old yamen officer said with admiration: "It was originally unremarkable, but once Lin judges things, it seems to become less complicated."
Chen Sizhi laughed: "It's all for the sake of a good word. The case is not complicated, and the murderer left a lot of flaws because he was eager to get things. For Lin Pingshi, of course, it is not difficult to handle. He has solved countless complicated and complicated cases."
Teng Yuyi glanced at Chen Sizhi lightly, he had previously thought that Lin Chengyou was in the way.
What if you are blind, your heart is brighter than them.
"Inaction." Lin Chengyou said.
"Yes." Teng Yuyi raised her head and said, "Brother, what are your orders?"
"Most of that thing is still in Liu Weng's house. Let's go in and look for it while the sun is shining."
"Okay." Teng Yuyi led Lin Chengyou into the house, and took the initiative to tell Lin Chengyou everything she saw while walking.
Chen Sizhi also hurriedly led the yamen inside to search.
Lin Chengyou instructed Teng Yuyi how to search for evidence while walking, and Teng Yuyi did as she said. She was more protective than Die Sage and Abandoned Wisdom. After entering, her eyes basically stayed at Lin Chengyou's feet, protecting this and that, lest those colleagues would think that Lin Chengyou was in the way.
Maybe it's because of a different mood, or maybe it's because Teng Yuyi's look is really cute, Lin Chengyou not only no longer sullen like last night, but he laughs at the end.
When Chen Sizhi was out of breath, Lin Chengyou and Teng Yuyi went to the outer courtyard to sit down.
Lin Chengyou asked Teng Yuyi, "If you were Liu Weng, would you hide such an important object in your house?"
Teng Yuyi helped Lin Chengyou to tie the cloth around her eyes again, and sat back in her place to rest her cheeks and think: "If no one comes to grab it, I will keep it by my side, if I know someone is coveting it, I have to find a more appropriate one. place to hide."
Lin Chengyou leaned on the pillar behind him, turning a piece of dry grass in his hand: "A charcoal seller... How to hide things from people's eyes..."
After a while of silence, the two of them said in unison, "Sell the charcoal!"
Teng Yuyi's tone was so excited that Lin Chengyou could almost see Teng Yuyi's bright eyes, he couldn't help but smile: "Let Yan Sizhi—"
After he finished speaking, he realized that he was wrong, and the smile on his face lingered.
Teng Yuyi hurriedly said to Chen Sizhi who was in the room: "Chen Sizhi, my senior brother probably knows where the thing is hidden. It's not too late, we have to rush over before the murderer."
When they came out of Magpie Alley, everyone mounted their horses separately. While asking the neighbors along the road, they walked to the West Market along the route that Liu Weng used to sell charcoal on weekdays. When it was almost evening, they found an empty house on the way.
This alley is two squares away from Magpie Alley. There are only two families living in the alley, which is extremely deserted. The innermost house is still vacant all year round, but Liu Weng comes here almost every day to sell charcoal.
People from Dali Temple searched inside, and as expected, they soon found a lacquer box in a dark hole behind the bed in the bedroom.
Teng Yuyi's face lit up when the yamen held out the things carefully. This was the first time she helped Lin Chengyou solve a case.
The yamen was about to clean the lacquer box, but Lin Chengyou said, "Slow—"
Suohunzhi climbed onto the round table and confirmed that there were no hidden weapons and poisons hidden in the lacquer box. Only then did Lin Chengyou order the yamen to open the lacquer box.
Inside, there were secrets and keys. I opened the secret book and looked at it. It recorded the specific hills where the mine was hidden, and the secret method of how to extract and make this hidden weapon. As for the key, it must be able to open the key to the mine.
Lin Chengyou weighed the key in the palm of his hand, took off the goldfish bag around his waist and handed it to the yamen: "Send a letter to the palace, saying that the big fish who sold silver wire weapons in the market last year were caught, and the Beiya government sent a hundred Jinwu guards. Coming here, for the next few days, you will have to dormant day and night in the vicinity, in addition to this, the eldest brothers here are not allowed to leave the surveillance of the imperial court recently.”
Chen Sizhi and the yamen knew that the matter was of great importance, and they were busy responding.
Teng Yuyi looked at the lacquer box and said to Lin Chengyou, "There are still a few books in it."
The yamen carefully took them out, but they were some secret recipes that recorded the witchcraft of Nanzhao. I heard that there was a famous witch queen from Nanzhao Kingdom a hundred years ago, who made the best use of Gu insects to harm people. Few people can decipher the Gu that the witch queen casts. The remnants in the box were thought to have been collected by Liu Weng and others inadvertently when they were selling goods in Nanzhao, because most of them were old and worn out.
The yamen were about to put it back as it was, when Teng Yuyi glanced at it and suddenly said, "Unfeeling Gu?"
Lin Chengyou was stunned. Although the Heartless Gu came from the Taoist Daoist hand, it has always been called "Gu". The reason is that although the Undisputed Sanren used the Five Elements Yin-Yang Technique, the introduction and carrier were the witch queen of Nanzhao Kingdom. 's Gu worm.
It's a pity that Buzheng Sanren has passed away for many years, and the Queen of Nanzhao has long since become a pile of dead bones. Therefore, the master has been struggling for many years, but he has not been able to find a way to solve it.
Teng Yuyi also thought of this, and hurriedly took out the old book and patted the ashes on the title page. It was a manuscript of later generations. Although the face was broken, the handwriting inside was clear.
Turning to the first page, it was written: [Excessiveness has no beginning, and freshness has an end. Love is a word that disturbs people's hearts and souls. Those who are emotional are blind in their hearts and eyes. Smash their hearts, destroy their eyes, and go blind. 】
Crazy, with a cold hatred.
Teng Yuyi frowned and read this sentence out.
Lin Chengyou pondered for a while, and said hurriedly, "Chen Sizhi, I may have to take this book back and use it. Please read it first and make sure it is correct, then please register it in the evidence book."
***
On the way back, Teng Yuyi stammered in the car to read the secret book for Lin Chengyou. There were too many terms such as Gushu, so she could only count it as a rough passage, and it was inevitable that she would find it esoteric to read.
Duche was about to arrive at the Chengwang Mansion, so she barely managed to finish reading the entire book.
"How?" Teng Yuyi put down the book and looked at Lin Chengyou nervously.
Lin Chengyou's face was ugly. This book should have been left behind when the witch queen of Nanzhao was refining the Heartless Gu, and the person who recorded it was probably a Taoist from the Central Plains who had accidentally entered the land of witches in Nanzhao.
It was written very clearly in the book that if there was no cure for it, the Gu worm would always be attached to the man's body, no wonder he still couldn't regain his sight after kissing Teng Yuyi. Not contending for loose people just put a Taoist shell on the worm, and the Taoist mentality of yin and yang can't be overcome at all, and getting married may not work.
The book actually states what the miracle medicine is. This thing has a name and a surname. It was originally kept by the witch queen, but as far as he knows, this thing has long been lost.
If he can't find that strange medicine, it means that he will never be able to regain his sight...
In order to comfort Teng Yuyi, he smiled and said: "The way to understand Gu is written on it, as long as I take a miracle medicine, my eyes will be restored."
Teng Yuyi was stagnant, and after a long time of trouble, she had to take medicine, which means that the undisputed scattered people played all of them, she endured the bad breath in her heart: "Is it the 'Ligenyao' mentioned above? That is What?"
Lin Chengyou: "Nanzhao national language. It means the rare treasure of the Nanzhao country, the red beard wings."
"Red Beard Wings?" Teng Yuyi had seen many rare treasures in the world since he was a child, but he had never heard of this kind of treasure.
"It is the crystallization of a local insect in Nanzhao. It is about tens of thousands of years old. It can be illuminated at night, and it can be worn on the neck to maintain the beauty of the skin. It is said that the royal family of Nanzhao kept one, but It was lost many years ago. Hey, don't be discouraged, as long as I want to search for it, there is nothing in this world that I can't find."
But Lin Chengyou knew in his heart that these words were just to comfort Teng Yuyi. How could a long-lost treasure be so easy to find.
By the time they were found, he and Ayu might both be in their thirties and forties, and they would spend ten years in the dark.
Thinking like this in my heart, I quickly regained my spirits: "It's too late, let's go back to the mansion for dinner first, and then go to Qingyun Temple to show this book to the master-"
Teng Yuyi said coldly, "Wait, I know where this baby is."
Lin Chengyou asked curiously, "Where?"
Teng Yuyi smiled and lifted the curtain to let the driver change his way: "Please go to Huayang Lane in Jinggongfang."
***
An exquisite mansion in Huayang Lane.
Lin Chengyou opened his arms, lying between the back window and the eaves like a handsome falcon.
Teng Yuyi was lying on his back.
Holding this position for a long time is tantamount to torture to ordinary people, but to Lin Chengyou, it is as easy as eating and sleeping, but there are still beads of sweat on his forehead, not for anything else, but for the clarity of his ears Chu heard the movement in the room.
It turned out that the red beard wing was not lost, but was hidden in the hands of Wu Yingying, the widow of King Xinchang.
On the way here, Teng Yu assured him that as long as she spoke, Wu Yingying would obediently hand over the world's precious treasure to her. He also told him not to show his face at that time, and let her do it alone. Once he comes forward, this matter will involve the court and diplomacy of the two countries. At the time, he laughed and asked why, but now he knows the reason.
This fellow Gu Xian is going through the storm with his aunt Wu Yingying.
In order to coerce Wu Yingying, Teng Yuyi made a special trip to stare at Wu Yingying for two months. She wanted to catch Wu Yingying's other reasons, but unexpectedly found out that Wu Yingying and Gu Xian had an affair. Cheng Bo and others arranged around the house, and she herself used the mental method he taught her to hold her breath and put the cat behind the closet.
In other words, when Gu Xian and Wu Yingying had an affair that night, Teng Yuyi stayed in the room the whole time.
It just so happened that he beat Peng Zhen on Huaixi Road, how could he expect that Teng Yuyi was not idle in Chang'an. He had known for a long time that Teng Yuyi was not following the rules, but he didn't expect this little villain to be able to do such a thing...
Lin Chengyou thought about it in a mess, and when he regained his senses, the room was still ringing.
It's been almost an hour, and Gu Xian and Wu Yingying still haven't stopped.
He also learned tonight that there are so many tricks in this kind of thing.
Lin Chengyou's heart was beating like a drum, and the sweat on his body was pouring out layer after layer. This feeling was more tiring than fighting a few fights on weekdays.
Is it over yet?
If it went on like this, he couldn't hold it any longer.
Teng Yuyi was lying on Lin Chengyou's body, no better than Lin Chengyou.
His face was burning like charcoal, and his heartbeat was deafening. Who would have thought that Gu Xian would come to Wu Yingying as soon as he arrived tonight.
It was probably about to leave for Nanzhao for fear of not having the chance to cheat in the future. Gu Xian and Wu Yingying struggled a lot longer this time than last time.
Although Lin Chengyou never said a word, he looked even more uncomfortable than her, except for the scarlet cloth, his face was covered in sweat.
Sweat was dripping down his temples slowly.
The author has something to say: Lin Chengyou: I never thought that on the eve of the bridal chamber, I would have a live observation experience with my wife?
