Capture the Jade:

The son is used to being filial, no matter how embarrassed he is, he can only listen respectfully.

It's strange, even if some people see each other every day, they don't necessarily pay attention to it. He only saw Du Tinglan three times, but every time he left a deep shadow in the house, now listening to A Niang Talking about marriage, that slender figure couldn't stop swaying gently in his room, this strange throbbing bothered him, on the one hand it made his brows and eyes more gentle, on the other hand it made him feel at a loss ①, while the maid was delivering tea to A Niang, he turned his face and gave Lin Chengyou a wink.

Lin Chengyou was listening to the queen's teaching seriously, and pretended to be more serious than his son, as if he had noticed his eyes. Secretly said: Auntie is most keen on giving people a kiss. Since Jingyi came out last year, it has been a long time since she made a big show of strength. This is just the beginning, let's bear with it.

Fortunately, the palace people came over. The lunch at Yixia Xuan was ready, and the wives of several ministers had already taken their seats. Liu Bingyu let the two brothers go on their horses only after waiting for the queen to arrive.

***

The next day, the emperor and the ministers set off for Houshan.

At dawn the next day, the court's decree was announced.

Xiangxiang Academy is finally scheduled to start school on the 25th. At the same time, the decree also announced the names of the academy's principals, female officials, and the first batch of 80 students enrolled. It is worth a lot of money from the officials of the DPRK and China and the Jiedu envoys from other places.

At that time, Mrs. Lu Guogong served as the first post of Yunyin Academy. Now Mrs. Lu Guogong is too old to distract herself from the complicated affairs of the academy, so this time Xiangxiang Academy starts, I can only choose another candidate .

At the end of the discussion, the two courtiers were decided.

The queen is in the palace, and she is in charge of the academy.

The vice president is the wife of Liu Wenchang who offered sacrifices to the Guozijian.

Ms. Liu is the wife of the second grade imperial order. She was also a well-known female talent in Chang'an in her early years.

In addition, the academy also set up four female officials, Si Lu, Si De, Si Du, and Si Xing.

Among the ten female officials, three are descendants of the An Yiying family, and the other is the only daughter of Jian Wenqing, a great Confucian in Luoyang. A talented woman who does not marry.

The palace servant who delivered the decree said again that the students must prepare their luggage and pens and ink at home. You also need to pay Shuxiu on the spot. Of course, the quota for this Shuxiu is only three bolts of silk per person, which is almost a symbolic fee.

The decree spread to Teng Mansion, and the people in the Mansion became very busy.

Earlier, Uncle Cheng had inquired about the affairs of the academy. He knew that the academy was strictly managed and that the lady would only come back once every month after entering school. He was afraid that the little master would have a bad time in the academy, so he ran to the pool himself. Yue Lai directed Chunrong and others to prepare for the luggage.

This whole day, Tan Shangyue was full of noise, and the descendants came in and out, busy packing Teng Yuyi's suitcases.

Teng Yuyi didn't stay idle, she ran to the chef and asked the cook to take out the mold, and kneaded the dough herself after cleaning her hands. After entering the academy, the flower cake can't be made, so I made it today and sent it to Qingyun temple just before school starts.

The little master got started, and the people in the kitchen did not dare to neglect at all, they either helped pass the stone honey or cut the petals. The petals of roses brought from Mount Li were far from enough, most of the flowers were temporarily cut by Biluo and the little maids in the mansion.

Teng Yuyi first kneaded the dough into light pink with rose juice, then mixed the petals and stone honey together, and at the same time mixed sweet and soft preserved fruits into the filling, and tasted the filling at the end. Both Zhi and her like sweet food, but Lin Chengyou likes light food, so one filling is sweeter and the other is lighter.

Then she carefully kneaded the dough into the shapes of roses.

This is an extremely delicate job, and it lasted until noon. Finally, eight drawers of dough were made. Put the dough on the kitchen rack and steam it tomorrow morning.

On the second day, before this point was sent away, the post from Qingyun Temple was sent.

The post was written by Juesheng and Qizhi. They have something important to discuss with Teng Yuyi, please go to Mingyue Tower in Dongshi immediately to discuss it.

Cheng Bo was a little puzzled: "Mingyuelou is a restaurant that specializes in Jiangnan cuisine. It has always only catered to rich gentry and wealthy businessmen. The price of the dishes can be said to be high. The two little people said this is—"

The implication is that it is absolutely impossible for Teng Yuyi to ask Teng Yuyi to meet in that kind of place with the style of utter sage and abandonment of wisdom.

Teng Yuyi was so bored that he used a small silver spoon to scoop up the fresh cherry cheese in the bowl. This post is not written by a sage or wise man. "The small road is stingy, but it treats people very considerately. It's rare to ask a good friend like me out. Why don't you be generous again? Before it's too late, help me prepare the horse."

Cheng Bo was still a bit puzzled, but Teng Yuyi was busy asking Chunrong to find the man's brocade robe and toe, and after dressing up, he asked Duanfu to change his appearance.

When the master and servant changed their looks, they handed over the boxes of flower cakes to Duanfu to hold them, and the passers-by swaggered to Dongshi.

When we arrived at the gate of Mingyue Tower, we could see at a glance why Cheng Bo didn't believe that Jue Sheng and Qi Zhi would meet here. It is not more sophisticated than others.

It's strange that there are almost no customers outside the big restaurant. Teng Yuyi entered the restaurant to inquire about the little Taoist priest. The store owner seemed to be waiting for a while, but he came out to greet him personally: "Is it the prince? Come upstairs with the villain."

However, when we reached the elegant room on the second floor, we did not see Juesheng and Qizhi.

The shopkeeper warmly served tea and gave some food: "Young Master Wang, wait here, the two roadsters are still on their way."

Teng Yuyi had no choice but to sit down first.

***

Lin Chengyou is busy at Daji Temple.

Dayin Temple and various Taoist temples received the news of Chikuo's appearance that day, and immediately patrolled around the city. After patrolling, they found no sign of Chikuo. It seems that Chikuo has not sneaked into the city yet. Things came and went without a trace, and all the monks and Taoists still set up formations outside the city overnight. After Qingxuzi came up the mountain, he rushed to the outside of the city to sit in the town and direct the matter.

Compared to the busyness of monks and Taoists, Dahei Temple has been extremely leisurely these few days.

I don't know if it's a coincidence, but since Haoyue Sanren subjugated the law, the states and counties have not submitted any cases for several days, and the colleagues only have some backlogged cases in their hands. It's more leisurely.

⑩Later in Lishan this night, Lin Chengyou first helped the master to announce the formation, and the next morning he asked Juesheng and Qizhi to post to Teng Yuyi. Without any doubts, he rode his horse to the Great Temple.

Every time Yan Sizhi arrives first, and today is no exception. When Lin Chengyou entered the office, Yan Sizhi was sitting upright in front of the window, busy sorting out the filings of several old cases.

Lin Chengyou has long been familiar with Yan Sizhi's diligence, and said with a smile, "Brother Yan."

Yan Sizhi put aside his pen: "It's just in time, I have something to discuss with Lin Pingshi."

He hurriedly pushed the notebook he wrote himself to Lin Chengyou: "I sorted out these cases in the morning, and nothing else is good, except for Hu Ji's case, which was submitted for some reason. Write it down. So far, there are no witnesses, no murder weapon, no clear motive for the murder, and even a few words from the victim's mouth. Based on this alone, there is insufficient evidence to suspect that Lu Zhaoan is related to this matter, but if you want to find more evidence, there is no trace on the whole matter, and there is nowhere to go."

After sitting down, Lin Chengyou flipped through the transcript, and he was very familiar with every record on it. A few days ago, he dispatched a lot of people to investigate Lu Zhaoan, but because of the case of Haoyue Sanren, he put it on hold. In his free time, he and Yan Sizhi resumed investigating the case.

"Since there are so many ambiguities, it's better to start with the clear ones first." Lin Chengyou clicked on a certain place in the record book, "The method of the murder is clear. Hu Ji was slapped It took a lot of soul and soul to become what it is now, this is a kind of sorcery to get the soul."

Yan Sizhi nodded, and wrote the last line according to Lin Chengyou's train of thought.

Lin Chengyou said again: "The time of the murder—Ming. Hu Jizhen happened on the 20th day of last month. To be exact, he was killed after returning from the Temple of Mercy with his friends. In the end, the two friends broke up, and it was already Shen Shimo when they returned to Hu's mansion, and they became ill as soon as they returned to the mansion, so the murderer could only do it within two hours of Wei Shimo - Shen Shimo."

Yan Sizhi nodded again.

"The location of the murder—Ming." Lin Chengyou said, "Hu Jiyi broke up with his friends on Deshan Street in Liquanfang, which is only a few streets away from Yiningfang where Hu's mansion is located. Hu Ji Yu was only taken out of his soul, and for the first half an hour there was no clue. The murderer must have been following Hu Jiyu, so he was able to control Hu Jiyu to ride home on horseback, but the assailant The location will not be far from Hu's mansion, because if it is delayed for a long time, Hu Ji will show more and more clues. From this, it can be seen that the place where the murder was committed was near Deshan Street and Yiningfang in Liquanfang, or even in the middle of the road. within an hour's footstep."

The third article after written directly by Yan Si.

Paused, he frowned and said: "Then... what is the most important motive for the murder? Hu Jixian is studying in the Imperial College. He is only ten years old this year. Although his temperament is straightforward, his heart is very soft. The descendants of the mansion were reluctant to scold him. His father, Hu Dingbao, served as a servant in the Ministry of War, and he was also a man from the outer circle and the inner circle. If Lu Zhaoan had the motive to harm Hu Jilin... Yes, the night the corpse broke into Chengwang's mansion, Lu Zhaoan just ran for his own life and shut Hu Jiyan out, but not many people knew about it. Even if Hu Jiyan spread it everywhere, Lu Zhaoan could still say that this was Hu Jiyan's negative words. If it hurts people, it will be very risky, and we haven't found any traces of Lu Zhaoan's sorcery."

Lin Chengyou pulled out the identity record at the bottom: "Is it clear if you add this? Hu Jiyu's classmate and friend Du Shaotang went to visit Hu's mansion that day, and it turned out that Hu Jiyu seemed to be locked up by his friend. His actions triggered a memory, and after being frightened, he actually spit out a sentence: 'Don't come over, I didn't see anything'. That sentence was the only articulate sentence since he fell ill. If it wasn't nonsense, then It was probably his strongest thought before he was killed."

Yan Si looked straight at the place: "Could it be that Hu Ji was killed because a small car crashed into something? Now, the motive is a little clearer."

Lin Chengyou: "In order to avoid being traced by the imperial court, the sorcerers have even used soul-taking techniques to harm people. It was necessary to use this method to deal with Hu Jilin that day. If you kill Hu Jilin directly, you will definitely die. Alarming the Dalai Temple and the imperial court, it is safe to use this kind of soul-taking technique to harm people. The victim's face is similar to phlegm obsession, and even ordinary monks can't imagine that something is wrong. When I was in a hurry and went to the doctor's office, I came to visit him, and no one would know that Hu Ji was deliberately murdered."

Yan Sizhi thought: "But that day when Hu Ji was about to walk to the door of his house, what kind of murder could he encounter? It was not dark at that time, and the street was full of people."

After thinking about it quietly, Lin Chengyou found a scroll of bamboo slips and drew on it: "() He drove his horse to Deshan Street to look. He planned to go home directly, but for some reason he changed his mind. There are no shops nearby, and it doesn't seem like you need to go shopping temporarily. Usually, in this situation, it's usually—"

Yan Si was stunned: "I bumped into an acquaintance on the way? Or was someone stopped me?"

Lin Chengyou thought for a while: "Being blocked by someone for no reason, Hu Jiyu must not be willing to step back. The two sides have disputes, which cannot attract the attention of others, but no one had a dispute at these two intersections that day. The wine shop also proves that Hu Jiyu did not enter the store to drink with anyone that day, so it is very likely that someone or something caught his attention. Hu Jiyu either drove his horse quietly to follow that person, or He was invited to his home by that person, and after that, Hu Jilin bumped into something he shouldn't have seen, and got killed because of it."

Yan Sizhi looked at the bamboo slips on the table, on which Lin Chengyou drew a human horse representing Hu Jiyu and his mount, and the road section that this human horse traveled.

Lin Chengyou then drew two houses in the northwest corner and northeast corner of the villain, the first one is Puning Square, and the other one is Xiuxiang Square.

He first pointed to Puningfang: "Lu Zhaoan lives in Puningfang now, which happens to be at the northwest corner of Deshan Street."

Pointing to Xiuxiangfang in the northeast corner: "That day he went to a banquet at the British government's residence in Xiuxiangfang, which happened to be not far away. If he came out at the banquet with an excuse, he might have a relationship with Hu Ji. met."

Yan Sizhi: "So Lin Pingshi still suspects that this matter has something to do with Lu Zhaoan?"

"Hu Ji has never had any enmity with anyone in the past, and the only one who has had a quarrel recently seems to be Lu Zhaoan. Hu Jiyuan originally admired Lu Zhaoan very much. Lu Zhaoan took the initiative to hand over the talisman to Lu Zhaoan for safekeeping. How could he know that at the moment of life and death, Lu Zhaoan revealed his nature. Afterwards, Hu Jiyu would definitely be disappointed to the point of chills. Brother Yan, if you are Hu Jiyu, you will be angry because of this matter. Yu Huai, one day you suddenly saw Lu Zhaoan on the street, what would you do?"

Yan Sizhi thought about it: "Mr. Hu is only ten years old, and he is upright. Even if it's not good to go directly to Lu Zhaoan's residence to ask his teacher about the crime, he may not be able to bear it when he bumps into him in private... After being angry, he will probably face to face Ask Lu Zhaoan why this is the case."

At this point, Yan Si was stunned: "What are you, Hu Ji was going home that day, but unexpectedly bumped into Lu Zhaoan on the street? But there is no way to prove that Lu Zhaoan is related to this matter."

Lin Chengyou nodded: "Just like what Brother Yan said, if Hu Jizhen just drove his horse casually on the street, how could he bump into something fatal? In my opinion, this is very likely to happen In the dark, with Hu Ji's upright personality, it is absolutely impossible to follow strangers casually. When he meets Lu Zhao'an, he will be in trouble. When Hu Ji thinks about what happened that night, he gets angry and can't bear to go up to find trouble. By chance, I bumped into something extraordinary, maybe at Lu Zhaoan's home, or in a remote alley. Hu Jiyu also realized that he had bumped into something he shouldn't have seen, so he came up with the sentence " Don't come over, I didn't see anything'."

Yan Sizhi still finds it unbelievable: "Lu Zhaoan wants to become an official from the beginning. During these days, there is a knife hanging on his head all the time. No matter how hypocritical he is, he must be cautious in his words and deeds. I don't understand Hu As long as Ji Yu ran into Lu Zhaoan's scandal, as long as he didn't commit any crimes, it wouldn't cause much trouble. Lu Zhaoan couldn't bribe Hu Jiyu with money, or beg Hu Jiyu not to publicize it? How can it be better than taking risks to harm people."

Lin Chengyou: "Don't forget that Hu Jiyu is the son of the Minister of the Ministry of War. If something happened, Lu Zhaoan and others would be involved. The murderer thought that Hu Jiyu must become stupid and crazy. I feel that I have been merciful since I handed over."

Yan Si was dumbfounded.

Lin Chengyou smiled: "It's all just guesswork. However, based on the article about taking the soul, this case cannot be simple. This matter may not only arise from personal grievances, but involve a wider matter. So we not only have to investigate this case to the end, but also put it at the top of the list of recent important cases."

Yan Sizhi's expression became more and more serious, and he picked up his pen and wrote down the inference just now behind the "motive for the murder".

He said again: "By the way, Lu Zhaoan attended a banquet at the British government that day. Can anyone prove that he left the banquet halfway? Also, they found evidence that Lu Zhaoan knew sorcery."

"That day Lu Zhaoan's talented scholars went to the garden to fight poems, and they were absent for two hours. The descendants of the British government can testify to this. It's not just a person, the one who used magic to harm people may be Lu Zhaoan's accomplice, but at present we only have one suspicious person, so we can only start with Lu Zhaoan."

This point can only be traced in the stack of letters Lu Zhaoan wrote to Du Tinglan.

Lin Chengyou took a quick glance earlier and found that these letters were written when he was in Yangzhou last year.

After reading it, Lin Chengyou had to admit that even in Chang'an, where there are many masters and scholars, Lu Zhaoan is one of the most outstanding ones, and it is not surprising that he will attract the favor of Mrs. Du and the daughter of the Zheng family.

It's just that this matter is related to Mrs. Du's reputation after all. Even if the clues are glimpsed in the letter, other methods must be used to prove that Lu Zhaoan knows magic.

Yan Sizhi has been working on the case. Seeing that Lin Chengyou has completely cleared up the case, he confidently put down his pen: "I only conducted cross-examination at Deshan Street in Yiningfang before. I asked about it near the rented house of Lu Zhaoan in Puningfang. Lin Pingshi, you and I will go together."

Lin Chengyou said with a smile: "I have something to do today, I'm afraid I can't go, Yan Sizhi will go a few times first, and then go to Puningfang after I come back in the afternoon."

Yan Si was stunned. Lin Chengyou is indeed a noble man, but as long as there is a case to be investigated, he is often more desperate than him. Looking at it abruptly, Lin Chengyou is still looking at the case on the table, but there seems to be something wrong in his eyes. Smile.

Yan Sizhi remembered Lin Chengyou's weird questions in those days, and a thought popped up from the bottom of his head. Could it be that he guessed right, Lin Pingshi has a beloved little lady.

After he decided to test it out: "Is there any other case for Lin Pingshi to investigate?"

Lin Chengyou thought to himself, today is an exception, who asked Teng Yuyi to wait for him in Mingyue Tower,

He helped Teng Yuyi prepare a nest of ghosts, but Juesheng and Qizhi were unreliable, so he decided to take her to get rid of the ghosts himself.

Thinking about the future, when Teng Yuyi enters the academy, it will only be at night if I want to see her face to face, and the night will not delay the investigation during the day, but Yan Sizhi must say hello here, because it is impossible to hide the number of times If you can get over it, it's better to go straight to yourself and have some personal matters, so as not to make temporary excuses.

After he let go, Zhu Jian wanted to answer the conversation, at this moment, a yamen servant outside said: "There is a case."

When I got outside, I saw two yamen servants carrying a corpse covered in white cloth through the vestibule.

Several young officials shook their heads secretly. After two days of idleness, there was another case.

A Si Zhi surnamed Wang asked casually: "Where did you send it?"

The yamen servant hurriedly returned: "It was sent from Yiningfang in the north of the city. The dead girl was a young lady. She disappeared suddenly when she went to play near Chuguo Temple with her girlfriends yesterday. The companions searched for a long time. It turned out that the little lady had died in a nearby well, and she was only thirteen years old, which seemed pitiful."

His face was shaking, and his face was carrying the corpse to the back.

Everyone was stunned. It sounded like he died by accidentally falling into a well. This kind of accident happens several times a year. Even if the murder is disguised as an accident, it should be interrogated by the law enforcement officer of An County. Submitted it, how could it be sent directly to Dahei Temple.

Doubts are doubts. After all, no one has been assigned to investigate this case. Even Lin Chengyou felt that the case was nothing unusual, so he didn't ask.

How do you know that not long after, Wu Zuo suddenly asked someone to come over and say: "Lin Pingshi, Chen Yuzuo, please go over and have a look at that corpse."

Lin Chengyou was in a hurry to go to Mingyue Tower, and he was already outside the door, so he had to turn back when he heard the words.

Yan Sizhi also followed Lin Chengyou to the morgue.

When Lin Chengyou went inside, he understood that only the whites of the eyes could be seen in the sockets of the woman's eyes, and not even the blackness of the eyes could be seen. This was a sign that the soul had been infested.

Wu Zuo was full of astonishment: "Fa Cao from Chang'an County, when the body was salvaged in Chuguo Temple yesterday, my companions said that something was wrong with this lady before she disappeared. A person who was originally very lively suddenly became stupid. Silly, the companions didn't keep an eye on her for a while, and the little lady disappeared. When she found the body floating in the well, she picked up the body and looked at it. The death was not normal. Facao heard that there were monsters haunting her recently, and she was afraid If you delay in catching the monster, you will send this corpse over."

"What is the cause of death?"

Chen Yu wrote: "On the surface, it seems that he died of drowning, because apart from the scratches of falling into the well, there are no other scars left by external forces on the surface of the body. The lungs are full of water, and he was still alive when he fell into the water."

Lin Chengyou walked around the corpse for a long time, something was wrong, for those who died in vain, the soul would be reluctant to leave before the first seven days, this girl just drowned yesterday, it seems that the soul is around.

He shook out a talisman from his sleeve, and secretly cast a soul-calling spell, but it failed, and there was no evil spirit around the corpse.

Yan Sizhi and Chen Yuzuo saw that Lin Chengyou's expression was wrong, and hurriedly said: "How? What's wrong?"

Lin Chengyou squatted back and looked at the bottom of the girl's feet: "This girl's soul is incomplete. If she guessed correctly, her soul had already been taken away before she died, and she was already insane before she died, so naturally she can't bear any resentment."

Yan Sizhi turned pale with shock: "Isn't this related to——"

Yes, it's the same as the way Hu Ji'en was murdered, except that Hu Ji'en was controlled by the murderer to return home, and the little lady fell into the well and died because she lost her mind.

Lin Chengyou got up and asked Wu Zuo: "Was the body found in Yiningfang?"

"That's right, this little lady lives in Yiningfang, and her name is Li Ying'er."

Yan Sizhi and Lin Chengyou looked at each other, and it was Yiningfang again.

Hu Jiyu also lives in Yiningfang, and at the same time his soul was drawn out, which is a coincidence.

Could it be that someone specializes in collecting souls? Still, this Li Yinger also ran into something before she was killed.

Yan Sizhi consulted Lin Chengyou: "If these two cases are related, I am afraid they cannot be handed over to other colleagues."

Looking at the dead body, Lin Chengyou thought, Li Yinger's case is new, if he doesn't want to miss the key clue, he must immediately go to the Chuguo Temple where the accident happened. Yan Sizhi had to go to the vicinity of Lu Zhaoan's residence to check, but he couldn't go to Chuguo Temple first, and he didn't let it go to others, because he might miss important evidence.

But Teng Yuyi was still waiting for him in Yueming Tower. He managed to hold back Juesheng and Qizhi before he went out. Five yamen servants went to Chuguo Temple to guard the place where the incident happened, and no one is allowed to enter or leave today, and I will come in two hours."

However, God seems to be against him. As soon as this matter was arranged, another colleague came to look for him: "Lin Pingshi, some Taoists from Dongming Temple are waiting for you outside the yamen."

When we got outside, besides Jiantian and Jianxian, there were also Jianmei and Jianle who hadn't seen each other for a long time.

Lin Chengyou looked left and right, and said with a surprised smile: "I don't know what urgent matter some masters have come to find me in Dalai Temple."

Jiantian hastily said: "My lord, look at this."

It was a black talisman, all of which were spells drawn with blood. The blood had dried up, but the hatred penetrated through the back of the paper.

"Seven spells?"

"Yesterday, General Li asked the old Daoist to come to get rid of the troubles. His wife and daughter seemed to be in trouble. Two days ago, he suddenly started vomiting and diarrhea. , Seeing that everyone in the Li family seemed to be seriously ill, Jianmei remembered a spell that was very similar to this one. After carefully inspecting the bottom of the steps at the gate, I discovered that someone had cast this spell on the Li family. If it hadn’t been discovered In time, Mrs. Li's mother and daughter will die within seven days."

Jianmei said solemnly: "My lord, the seven mantras and the soul-inducing technique are the specialty of the Wuji Sect. I haven't seen this group of thieves for many years. The poor Taoists think it's very important." , I had no choice but to rush to report to the son. I heard that this General Li is a hot upstart in the court, and he will be promoted to the military governor in the near future. Could it be that General Li offended someone, so someone secretly Use this method to harm them?"

Lin Chengyou looked at the talisman thoughtfully.

Jianxian also said: "This kind of matter is related to the court, so it is not easy for me to intervene. I came here today to transfer this matter to the prince. It is clear that the murderer is going to kill the Li family. This time, there will be another time, while the curse seal at the door of Li's house is still there, why don't you go and see it yourself?"

***

Yueming Building.

Teng Yuyi sat in front of the window, looking behind the building from time to time. The silk and bamboo are pleasant to the ears, and the musicians are playing music behind the curtain, and some of them are presented like flowing water. Each piece is as transparent as ice jade, only the size of a thumb, and it does not feel sweet after eating continuously. I don’t know what the wine is used for The tune is comparable to the incense and mist of the fairy cave.

Teng Yuyi is very satisfied with the food in front of her, but she has been here for almost an hour, and she has neither seen Lin Chengyou, nor Juesheng and Qizhi. Lin Chengyou was afraid that the ghosts would scare other customers in the store, so he moved ahead of time. After booking today's Mingyue Tower, a huge restaurant, she is the only customer.

In the blink of an eye, it was early summer, and the sun was hotter than before. Teng Yuyi sat in front of the window for a while, and her face was gradually warmed by the sun. It turned out that it was already noon. Although the specific time was not stated on the post, since I have an appointment, how can I not show up for such a night.

Since Duan Fu came in, he stood upright by the side of the bed like a log, and seeing that Teng Yuyi was a little anxious, he said, "Should I ask Li Geng to go to Qingyun Temple to inquire about it?"

"Wait a little longer."

Before the words fell, he heard the noise coming from the back of the building. Looking back, he just saw a tall figure coming in from the aisle, and then there were footsteps on the stairs, and the host came up with Pidiandian.

Not long after the maidservants opened the door, it was indeed Lin Chengyou.

He seems to have arrived on a temporary basis. He hasn't even changed his official uniform. He wears a green shirt with his head on his head and soap boots on his feet. When he walks around, the side of his shirt reveals his ocher red trousers. Free and easy, if it weren't for the goldfish bag hanging around his waist, he would be no different from a young official in every way.

It's a pity that there are still clues in the collar, probably due to the hot weather, he is actually wearing a palace-made snow-white gauze gown under his heavy official uniform.

Lin Chengyou waved his hand to tell the master and the musicians to go back. He sat down on the opposite table with his robes lifted, and said with a smile, "Your Majesty has been waiting for a long time."

Teng Yuyi hurriedly dared not, seeing sweat on his forehead, asked curiously: "Is Dalu Temple very busy today?"

Lin Chengyou poured himself a glass of wine, smiled and said, "I'm a little busy."

Nearly missed the appointment in time.

While drinking, I couldn't help looking over the top of the tea cup to look at Teng Yuyi. She pulled back her beard and her face was as beautiful as a lotus flower. According to the photos, the black ones are darker and brighter than grapes.

Lin Chengyou withdrew his gaze, turned his head and looked at the door: "I asked them to serve the food? I just happened to be hungry too, and this Jiangnan cuisine is not bad."

Teng Yuyi was stunned: "Don't wait for the trail to open."

What are they waiting for? I wish they didn't come, he brought them back after eating this dish, at worst, he would add some more dishes to them later, Lin Chengyou thought about it, but said: "The dishes in this restaurant are better than those served elsewhere. Be slow, I will not be able to make it in a short while, I have important things to do, and I can't wait."

Teng Yuyi thought for a while, Lin Chengyou should be in a hurry to finish his work and leave, she pointed to her own wrist, and whispered: "I have already washed Xuanyinling, the prince can release the ghost."

"Oh, no."

"?" The academy will start tomorrow.

"I've been busy these two days, so I don't have time to catch ghosts." Lin Chengyou said, "However, there is a Zhuangzi in the repair workshop in the north of the city that is haunted by ghosts. According to people's description, it looks like a ghost that **** human ghosts. Handle the case in the past, if Prince Wang is free, how about I take you to get rid of it?"

Teng Yuyi was overjoyed, ghosts are considered evil ghosts, and their mana is not very high, she can get rid of them with just Xiaoya sword, so she can not only test Xuanyinling's spiritual power , You can also get rid of evil spirits and accumulate some merit.

She was overjoyed: "I just want to try the sword technique Duanfu taught me. If the prince doesn't want to do it himself, I can deal with it alone when we get to the haunted Zhuangzi."

Lin Chengyou lowered his eyes and took a sip of wine. The person who borrowed his life could only get rid of the disaster by slaying demons and demons. That nest of fierce ghosts was enough for Teng Yuyi to accumulate a lot of merit.

He said solemnly: "It's okay. It's just that I have several pending cases on hand, and it happens that the location is in Yiningfang, which is behind the bottom of Xiufang. Is Wang Gongzi going with me, or here?" Waiting for me? If you find it troublesome, I will come back to pick up the prince after I get the certificate."

No wonder Lin Chengyou was so busy, it was already noon, and Yiningfang was half a city away from Dongshi. When he came back from the case, he didn't know when it would be. Teng Yuyi pondered, how about another day? But she will bring Xuan Yinling to the academy tomorrow...

Lin Chengyou suddenly said again: "The victim of one of the cases seems to be known to you, and it is Hu Jilin. The other party did not report the case, so it can only be regarded as a door-to-door visit. Juesheng and Qizhi are not here today. If Prince Wang is not free, I will have to find someone to help."

Teng Yu was taken aback.

Since she knew that Hu Ji'an's matter might be related to Lu Zhaoan, she had been looking forward to using this incident to find out Lu Zhaoan's handle. It is rare to have the opportunity to inquire about the case today, even if she can only wait outside, she is willing. Immediately changed his mind: "I'll talk to Shizi. If I'm not enough alone, Duanfu can help."

Lin Chengyou smiled slightly, and nodded reluctantly: "If you want to go, it's not enough to just put on a beard, your appearance needs to be changed, and your clothes also need to be changed. It's best to change into a Taoist robe."

Teng Yuyi: "Isn't it enough to put on a beard? Is it possible that the family the prince wants to get rid of knows me?"

"You'll know when the time comes."

 High-fived, the maids filed in, and brought up trays of delicious food and wine.

When the two of them were eating, they didn't even hear the sound of the cups and chopsticks. Lin Chengyou occasionally raised his eyes to look at Teng Yuyi. He saw it, and his own appetite was surprisingly good.

After the meal, Teng Yuyi asked Duanfu to help her get a set of Taoist robes worn by little Taoist priests, and dressed up the back building, and she turned into a face-to-face little Taoist priest.

Lin Chengyou sized up Teng Yuyi after coming up, and nodded with a smile: "I give you the Taoist name Wuwei, and when you arrive at the Li Mansion and call you 'Wuwei', you must remember to agree."

Teng Yuyi smiled and lowered her eyes: "The poor Taoist knows."

Suddenly there came the call of Juesheng and Qizhi: "Senior brother."

Turning around and looking, it is the calf cart of Qingyun Temple. When they arrived in front of the building, Juesheng and Qizhi jumped on the cart and said, "Senior brother, you are going to finish eating soon? Where is the prince?"

Lin Chengyou sighed inwardly, after being chased by these two little guys, he got on his horse and said, "Get in the car."

Teng Yuyi took the opportunity to get on the calf cart of Qingyun Temple, and then leaned out of the window: "The small road."

Juesheng Qizhi heard the voice familiar, so he got into the car quickly, took a closer look after sitting, and said pleasantly: "Ms. Teng? Why are you dressed like this, I can't recognize it at all!"

Teng Yuyi handed the lacquer box to the two of them: "I have to try Xuanyinling's spiritual power. It just so happens that your brother is going to get rid of the ghost later, so take me there and let me dress up as a little Taoist priest." , It’s because this place is relatively unsightly, are you hungry? The vegetarian dishes and vegetarian dishes that your brother asked the store to make are your favorites, so eat them while they are hot.”

Juesheng and Qizhi took the lacquer box cheerfully: "We are not hungry, senior brother gave us money to buy delicious food, this is for dinner. Madam Teng——"

"Shh, you have to call me Wuwei, the Taoist name your brother gave me just now."

Qizhi smiled and changed his words: "Okay, brother Wuwei, where are you going to take us now?"

"It's to get rid of evil spirits. According to the family name of that family is Li."

Juesheng and Qizhi are both fresh and exciting. Although they have eliminated demons and subdued demons together in the past, it is the first time that several people go to a certain house together.

On this road, laughter came from Qingyunguan's calf car from time to time, Lin Chengyou listened outside the car, and the three of them didn't know what was going on, and the twittering never stopped.

At the door of that house, Teng Yuyi got out of the car and looked, Li's? When did Li Huaigu's family suffer from evil spirits?

Li Guangyuan and the young masters of the Li family were not at home. Mrs. Li got the news, dragged her still weak body, and personally led the people in the house to welcome them to the middle hall. Evil."

When he spoke, his face was anxious, and he was obviously worried about something.

Teng Yuyi came back to the Li family's mansion in Chang'an for the first time, and looked around calmly.

Lin Chengyou crossed his hands and bowed with a smile: "Mrs. Li is here. Entrusted by the five seniors of Dongmingguan, she came to help get rid of the evil spirits. Apart from the black talisman I found yesterday, I don't know if there are any other strange things in the house." where?"

Madam Li bowed deeply, and said in a anxious voice: "After the five priests came to the door, we have already met, but the little girl is still unconscious."
