Capture the Jade:
Not only that, the circles of her eyes were still a little red, maybe it was because she had just met A Niang.
"What do you want to ask?" Du Tinglan bit the bullet and asked, she was obviously not used to facing Wu Qi like this.
Wu Qi said indifferently: "Even if I think about it, I can still figure out where I have exposed my flaws. I came to you today just to ask if you were in the room last night. Have you done your feet beforehand?"
Lin Chengyou looked sideways at Teng Yuyi, and the meaning of his gaze was very clear. If you want to answer, answer it, and if you don't want to answer, don't bother.
Teng Yu didn't want to answer the conversation, but quietly looked at Wu Qi.
She moved slowly and carefully.
In the past, she saw Wu Qi's external appearance, but this time, she wanted to get to the bottom of this person.
It is hard to trace the facts of the previous life forever, but if the murderer is the same person, and the results of the same thing must be the same, then some questions need to be asked face to face Just ask and you'll understand. After looking at Wu Qi for a long time, she slowly opened her mouth: "I can answer this question for you, but before that, I have to ask you two questions first, as long as you answer truthfully, you will know the answer immediately."
Wu Qi squeaked at first, why should one answer be exchanged for two answers, but she also knew that if something went wrong that night, Lin Chengyou might not be able to catch Wang in time, so even if she was found later On the head, there is no way to produce iron evidence against her.
Her plans fell into the night, so she must know the truth.
The answer is right in front of you, and it's hard to give up if you don't ask. After a while of confrontation, she compromised: "You say."
"Supposing the crown prince fell in love with a certain lady, the emperor also thought that this little lady was the ideal candidate for the crown princess. The idea of marrying her later, if you know this, will someone murder this girl?"
The room was silent for a moment, this question was so complicated, Du Tinglan was confused, and Lin Chengyou was also surprised.
But it may be related to the prince, Wu Qi thought for a moment, and she answered decisively: "If I practice magic, this question must have another answer, but since I came into contact with this kind of bad nature My temper is becoming more and more extreme day by day. If I can achieve my wish, I am willing to try no matter what. If the prince's mind can't be changed...how can we not get rid of that girl? Is it my turn to be the princess? Even if I can't make a decision in a while, Mrs. Jingchen will encourage me to come out."
Teng Yuyi clenched her fingers tightly, enough is enough.
It was no longer just a guess from the bottom of my heart, but finally heard from the murderer's mouth the motive for murdering her in the previous life.
Her heart felt chilly, but her teeth were clenched.
Thinking about the tragedy of her drowning in the icy water in her previous life, and looking at Wu Qi's inhuman appearance, the phrase "Heaven will pay off" almost blurted out.
She was full of storms in her heart, but she didn't expect her gaffe to fall into the eyes of others. She caught Lin Chengyou's gaze from the corner of her eye and hurriedly stabilized her mind.
Wu Qi was taken aback by herself, and it took a while before she laughed at herself: "Up to now, I have nothing to excuse, but before I formally deal with Mrs. Jingchen, I But it has never been harmful to others. In order to win me over, my teacher treated me like my own daughter, taught me self-defense skills, and took care of me everywhere. I was young at the time, and I didn't know that she had hidden evil intentions, so I mistakenly took her as a good teacher and helpful friend , I often confide my troubles to her. Sometimes my parents are obviously unfair, and the teacher will tell me that my parents just love my sister more. In addition, the sorcery she taught is extremely destructive, and after a long time After a long time, I will naturally become more and more extreme. Besides—"
The corners of her mouth drooped: "In order to pinch me, they at least secretly encouraged me to do something bad. The idea of murdering my sister in the first place was the idea of Mrs. Wang, but in the end, I was just a self-righteous Yes, it’s just a puppet exploited by them.”
Teng Yuyi's eyes are as sharp as a sharp sword, and Peng Yugui said similar words before he died in Caifenglou. The imperial court is very aware of the various harms of practicing sorcery, so it is determined to wipe out the Wuji sect.
But how exactly Wu Qi was lured into going astray, and what does it have to do with her? She didn't know that she died tragically among these people in her previous life.
It's a pity that time is not enough and there is another question to ask for proof. She let go of her clenched fist, pretending to be calm and continued to ask: "I was having a banquet at Cheng Wang's mansion that night, did you want to steal my sachet?"
Wu Qi looked puzzled: "Steal the sachet?"
Teng Yuyi and Lin Chengyou looked at each other in surprise, couldn't it be Wu Qi.
"I stole your sachet once." Wu Qi said lightly, "I've decided whether to deal with you or not, so how could I scare the snake? You underestimated me too much. Last night I I rushed to Prince Cheng's mansion just to find a chance to meet the prince."
Teng Yu nodded thoughtfully.
"Where is the answer I want?" Wu Qi raised her eyes and looked at Teng Yuyi.
Teng Yuyi raised her eyebrows slightly, and asked back: "Isn't the answer in my last question?"
Wu Qi made a vague realization: "Is it because you are worried that the thief will come out again, and you have left some kind of mark in the room every night since then?"
Teng Yuyi smiled sarcastically: "In the end, I was able to catch that little thief, but I caught you, a big thief. This is called Skynet Recovery."
Wu Qi's chest fluctuated, she got up suddenly, then fell back slumped, and said dejectedly: "Forget it, if you have Teng Yuyi, you will show your feet elsewhere sooner or later. You will know from the fact that Mrs. Wang has hidden so many things about me. , even if I escape this time, I won’t be able to escape their shackles in the future.”
"Okay." Lin Chengyou expressionless, "It's your turn to answer the question."
Wu Qi pulled the corner of her mouth: "I remember the law stipulates that if an accomplice provides clues, the sentence can be reduced as appropriate?"
Lin Chengyou: "How to do it depends on what clues you provide."
Wu Qi was silent for a long time: "That time, there was a big monster in the temple of the jade female crown, and I was also frightened. Hey, the teacher came back from the outside, seemed to be in a good mood, drank a lot of wine for the first time, and said to me mysteriously, there will be a catastrophe in Chang'an in a few months, but what is the cause of this catastrophe? She didn't understand for a while. I asked her what the disaster was, and she realized that she had lost her temper after drinking, so she refused to talk about it."
Catastrophe? Teng Yuyi and Lin Chengyou frowned at the same time.
If it refers to Nai Chong's reappearance, the disaster is clearly imminent, why do you say "a few months later", and since the teacher knows that there will be a big disaster, how can she not understand the origin of the disaster.
After saying this, Wu Qi looked cold: "Is this clue important enough?"
Lin Chengyou was noncommittal, turned around and took Teng Yuyi and Du Tinglan to leave the prison.
"Wait a minute!" Wu Qi hurriedly climbed to the front of the iron cage, "I'm not done talking—I told my mother just now that my sister's remnant soul was not thrown into the water last night !”
The three of them stopped, and Lin Chengyou seemed to be in disbelief: "Where is the remnant soul?"
Wu Qi said: "It's hidden under the bed in my academy. Mrs. Wang said that there are many people around the Qinglong Temple. If Huo Songlin escapes in time, he may be caught by the police. Sister's remnant soul is awakened in time, and it is bound to tell who set up to harm her last night. Once my side is exposed, the whole game will fail, so Huo Songlin's wine urn must be Li Ying His remnant soul, my sister’s remnant soul was hidden by him under a bridge pier near Qinglong Temple. The next day I retrieved it and put it in the academy. Today is the seventh day before the Buddha Bathing Festival , if it is done in time, it will definitely be saved!"
Lin Chengyou's expression turned serious: "."
Teng Yuyi hastily followed Lin Chengyou's pace, but when she looked back, she realized that Wu Qi was still clinging to the cage tightly, obviously unwilling to get a word from Lin Chengyou.
Teng Yuyi said to Lin Chengyou: "Wait a minute, I'll just say a few words to her."
Quickly went back to the cage and said in a low voice: "I haven't seen you say this for two whole days in the prison, why are you willing to say it today?"
Wu Qiyi expected that Teng Yuyi would return, so she looked at Teng Yuyi probingly: "You seem to be very curious about my body, but it's okay to tell you, the reason why I killed my elder sister in the first place was because I wanted to be the princess , I got into a dead end for a while, and was taken advantage of by the wicked. Now that I have suffered a complete defeat, why bother to hurt my sister? Besides—"
Teng Yuyi wanted to add for Wu Qi, if he didn't do this, how could he make his mother-in-law soft-hearted and plead for her in front of the emperor.
This is Wu Qi, maybe she was so bad in the first place, but if something like sorcery gets involved, there is no way back. evil.
Want to use this to get rid of the crime?
"I advise you to give up your heart." Teng Yuyi smiled coldly, "What about Zhongcheng's daughter? I heard that the prince also begged the sage to punish the case in front of the emperor. There is a desire to kill the king. Now the whole court knows that these cases involve treason. Not bad. Besides, you know your heart better than anyone else. If you don’t get caught this time, you don’t know how many young ladies will be poisoned by you in the future. It’s not too much to hang you. Stay in the prison of Dali Temple, it is said that it is at least 10 years old."
Wu Qi's complexion changed in an instant, she didn't know whether it was because she heard that the crown prince also demanded heavy punishment, or because she heard that she would be exonerated in no time.
She looked at Teng Yuyi's back in embarrassment, leaned forward, grabbed the cage and said, "Teng Yuyi, why do you hate me so much? I can hurt you!"
This time, Teng Yuyi's footsteps did not stop at all.
In the cell, there was Wu Qi's shout echoing in the stone wall, even though she scratched her knuckles until they turned white, what answered her was only the sound of her own gasping breathing.
***
Lin Chengyou ordered Teng Yuyi and Du Tinglan to be sent home, while he galloped to Qingyun Temple to invite his master.
When Teng Yuyi returned home, on the one hand, he made people always pay attention to the news of the Wu family, and on the other hand, he secretly wondered what the "big disaster" that Mrs. Jingchen meant.
The next time I heard that Wu Xiang woke up, but people are much more stupid than before. Taoist Qing Xuzi said that the soul has been away from the body for too long, and the spiritual roots are somewhat damaged. Once recognized, at least two or three months.
When Du Tinglan heard the news, she asked Teng Yuyi to visit Wu Xiang at Wu's house the next day.
Wu Xiang's room was already full of classmates, and everyone was talking softly with Wu Xiang.
Wu Xiang sat on the bed like a wooden stake, facing the concern of her classmates, she showed a blank smile, but her eyes were dull, and she couldn't even say a classmate's name.
When everyone talked to her, she was either in a daze, or turned her head to look for it in confusion.
Deng Weili and Liu Siniang asked Wu Xiang softly: "What are you looking for? Do you want to eat?"
Wu Xiang opened his mouth and said with difficulty: "Ah, what about Ah Qi."
The students looked at each other and fell silent.
In the silence, Deng Weili pursed his lips bitterly, and forced a smile: "You've been bored at home for a long time? Do you want to go out to relax? Later, my grandfather celebrated his birthday and came to our house to play Okay."
Wu Xiang smiled foolishly: "Oh."
The students laughed along, and the atmosphere in the room warmed up again.
After a while, Deng Weili pulled Teng Yuyi out of the house and said, "You only came back to Chang'an this year, and you had a good time with us last year. I told everyone that this time you are the guest of honor, and you will be the guest of honor later. I have a banquet at my house, so come to my house early."
Teng Yuyi slanted Deng Weili: "Are you trying to be lazy? Have you forgotten that I am lazy than you? Drinking, I am good at it, you can find someone else for drinking orders and arrangements."
The classmate next to him couldn't help laughing, and Deng Weili pinched Teng Yuyi's cheek: "Look, this is the only one who dares to say that he is lazy. It's okay for you to be lazy on weekdays, but you have to help me tonight Do me a favor, or I will trouble you. Anyway, I told you, you have to come and say hello to me earlier."
Two days later, Teng Yuyi tidied things up beautifully at home, and when it was getting late, he invited his elder sister to Deng's mansion for a banquet.
The maidservants enthusiastically led the two sisters to the inner courtyard to look for Deng Weili, only to find out that the two of them were the first to arrive. Deng Weili was still dressing in the room, and when he heard that they were overjoyed to come, he ran down the porch to meet them himself.
The atmosphere in Deng's mansion is the same as that of Deng Shizhong, full of turmoil and quick talk.
At night, Deng's house was full of guests, and the garden was full of beautiful figures in neon clothes. Surrounded by her classmates, Teng Yuyi was busy sending out "Shuanglu", when she suddenly felt that Xiao Yajian was a little hot, and then she went to Xuan The sound of the bell was silent, she was full of doubts, so she pretended to go to clean the room and left the flower hall.
After coming out, Teng Yuyi raised her head and looked around, seeing that Duanfu was following far behind, she felt a little relieved, and went straight to a very quiet rockery in the garden, and wanted to let Xiaoya come out, but unexpectedly, there was a scar on her wrist The Xuanyin bell rang suddenly, and Teng Yuyi hurriedly drew his sword, when suddenly a figure jumped down from the tree and said in a low voice, "Come here."
"Shizi?"
The two cats went to the rockery.
Teng Yuyi raised his head and glanced at Lin Chengyou. He was wearing a royal blue brocade robe with silver flower patterns, his eyes were brighter than the light above his head, and he was full of energy, even beautiful.
"Take back the sword." Lin Chengyou listened attentively to the movements around him, and whispered to Teng Yuyi.
Teng Yuyi did as he said, and whispered: "My lord, was there something evil nearby just now?"
"Some people passed by Disha, but I have already collected them." Lin Chengyou said, "By the way, since you and I met here, I don't need another person to go to Teng Mansion to notify you, tomorrow." I'm going to catch Chikuo outside the city, do you want to follow?"
"Go." Teng Yuyi's eyes lit up, "Hey, is there a ghost in the city?"
Lin Chengyou said: "Where are there so many ghosts? Last time, I finally recruited a few , and was killed by you."
After finishing his speech, he secretly thought that something was wrong. Didn't these words clearly say that he arranged the bunch of ghosts last time?
"I mean——" Lin Chengyou complained quietly, "I like to gather the evil things into a pile to fight, because it's more enjoyable to fight. I happened to be tired last time, and the sword of Jueshengqizhi was killed If you make a mess, you can't find anyone for a while, so you will be beaten once."
Teng Yuyi turned her face to one side, and said oh to the rose bushes over there.
Lin Chengyou glanced at her, and said in a condescending way: "It just so happens that I am short of people too."
Teng Yuyi nodded.
Lin Chengyou had nothing to say, so he said, "I have other arrangements tomorrow, so you can come out earlier."
"OK."
"I'm sorry, do you have anything else to ask?"
Teng Yuyi shook her head.
Lin Chengyou touched his chin, why did Teng Yu feel strange.
Teng Yuyi turned her head and touched him: "Does your son have any other instructions?"
"That's it." Lin Chengyou looked away, "I took you this time because Juesheng and Qizhiming have other work to do, so don't think too much about it."
Teng Yuyi nodded again.
Lin Chengyou is suspicious, why is Teng Yuyi acting a little different tonight than usual, maybe he can see that he likes her.
"What are you thinking?"
"I'm listening to the crown prince, right?"
Lin Chengyou simply pointed to himself, the phrase "Do I seem to like you?" side.
