Capture the Jade:

There were only two of them in the court, and Teng Yuyi said with a smile: “I have many names. Outsiders call me ‘Wang Gongzi’, but at home I have a small character ‘Ayu’, and when I catch monsters, I have another Taoist name, ‘畯‌ for The word ‘is given by my brother.”

Lin Chengyou smiled and said: “Your senior brother is a wonderful person. Do it, do it, ‘Tao is always inaction, but if you don’t do it, everything will be self-transformed’, I just gave you this name, just to help you so much The little Taoist priest who has suffered a lot of disasters. If the senior brother is like this, it means that the Taoist priest is not bad, right?”

“So-so, there is still one thing that is far inferior to my senior brother.”

“Oh? Let’s talk about it.”

“Shameless. I’ve never seen a brother who likes to praise himself more than my brother. Speaking of thick-skinned, he is the best in the world.”

Lin Chengyou clicked his tongue: “I’m so useless, I can teach you a child. It’s good to know that you still have shortcomings. Are you going to go out with your senior brother today and learn your skills?”

“Everything is ready, I’m here to invite senior brother.” While speaking, he had already walked under the red plum tree, and looked at Lin Chengyou with a smile and lowered eyebrows.

“It would be good if I took you out to gain insight.” Lin Chengyou drew his voice, “It’s just that the snow on the ground has not yet cleared, and I walk easily slippery. Later, I will always have someone to support me.”

Only Lin Chengyou can say such thick-skinned words. Teng Yuyi looked around, the servants of Chengwang’s mansion knew the rules very well, probably knew that the young master didn’t like to be disturbed, so he had already avoided it far away.

In such a large courtyard, only the soft sound of the breeze sweeping the branches of red plums can be heard for a while.

Teng Yuyi helped Lin Chengyou to get up, and it was necessary to help, but after all, the two were not yet married, if they were to help Lin Chengyou to walk around like this, it would be inappropriate.

While hesitating, Teng Yuyi looked at Lin Chengyou’s sleeve, and thought suddenly: “Then I will borrow something from my brother.”

Lin Chengyou shook out the Soul Locker from his sleeve: “This?”

Teng Yuyi broke Lin Chengyou’s hand and let him hold the silver chain tightly, while she held the other end firmly, and then told Chang Chong: “Take care of yourself, don’t let go of your master casually.”

Chang Chong was very reluctant to listen to Teng Yuyi’s arrangement, but he still entangled Lin Chengyou’s hand slowly.

Teng Yuyi inspected it to make sure it was stable enough, and then led Lin Chengyou forward: “I am here, and I will never let my brother bump into it.”

Lin Chengyou’s smile was as bright as spring, and he followed Teng Yuyi just like that.

The long silver chain, one end is in Teng Yuyi’s hand, the other end is in Lin Chengyou’s hand.

Every time you walk past a flower tree, the petals will fall on the heads and bodies of the two people in disorder, like spring rain, and the color is like a rainbow. The petals swirl with the wind, chasing the figures of the two lively and vigorously. Looking at it from a distance, it looks like a gorgeous painting of curls.

Walking and walking, someone in the painting smiled and said, “What do you always look back at me for?”

Although Lin Chengyou couldn’t see, he could hear the shaking of Teng Yuyi’s temple jewelry when he turned his head.

Teng Yuyi was confirming the silver chain in Lin Chengyou’s hand with his eyes. That time when she was taken into the underground palace by Naizhong, Lin Chengyou led her out of the underground palace with the soul lock like her.

“If you think about what it was like to watch me and you in the underground palace that time in Yuzhen Nuguan, you will know why I am like this.”

Lin Chengyou said slowly: “I just remember that you were afraid that I would lose you, so you bullied Suo Hun Zhi in order to get tighter and yelled. Teng Yuyi, have you been so overbearing since you were young? “

Teng Yuyi snorted: “I can’t remember anything else, just think about how you treated me back then in the underground palace.”

Lin Chengyou smiled and stopped talking.

Teng Yuyi was silent for a moment, and couldn’t help but glance back at him again. This time he looked at him with emotion, his eyes were astringent, but they were extremely soft. At that time, Lin Chengyou was like her now, every time he walked After a few steps, he turned his head to make sure that she was still behind him.

From the day they met, he either kept saying he hated her, or went out of his way to fight her, but his heart had long been tied to her.

Her heart is sour and sweet. Lin Chengyou said with a smile: “Be careful of your feet, don’t let me fall, you fell first.”

But I saw the nurse in charge next to Princess Cheng.

Seeing the scene of the two of them, I was surprised, and then laughed again.

Blind in the past few months, Da Lang has never put a smile on his face, let alone let anyone help him.

The situation today makes people want to laugh from the bottom of their hearts.

Thanks to these two kids for coming up with this idea.

Lin Chengyou listened carefully, smiled and said to Teng Yuyi: “This is by my mother’s side.”

Teng Yuyi hurriedly bowed his head respectfully.

Looking at Teng Yuyi carefully, he smiled from ear to ear: “Princess asked if you are going out? Breakfast is prepared in the flower hall, and I tell you to eat it before leaving.”

Teng Yuyi was in a hurry to find Lin Chengyou this morning, but he really didn’t have time to have breakfast.

Lin Chengyou said: “Hey, I suddenly want to eat some snacks, how about red plum cake?”

Astonished, Shizi has never liked snacks, but she still smiled and said: “‌‌‌.”

Lin Chengyou said again: “Tell Ayu and Aniang for me, today we are going out to investigate the case, and we probably won’t be back at noon. The mansion doesn’t have to wait for us to eat.”

When we arrived at the flower hall, the room was full of children, and the two of them sat down and had a lively breakfast.

After the meal, Teng Yuyi went to Azhi’s room and changed into a Taoist robe. Azhi walked around Teng Yuyi, touching the disguise mask on Teng Yuyi’s face for a while, and seeing her attire for a while. He found it novel and interesting, pestered his elder brother, and clamored to go out with them to handle the case. In the end, Princess Cheng asked people to take Azhi to the upper room in the name of checking her daughter’s new sword skills. .

Magpie Alley was much more noisy than the night before, and the residents in the alley felt terrified, and gathered in twos and threes to discuss the new murder that happened last night.

The servants were busy dispersing the crowd.

The name of the person killed last night was Wang Dachun. He was not a resident of Magpie Lane, but a watchman. He was killed around the fourth watch. The first person to find Chen Dachun’s body was a patrol nearby of Wuhou.

Wang Dachun’s death is the same as that of Liu Weng who was murdered last time.

Coincidentally, Wang Dachun’s body lay outside Liu Weng’s house.

The yamen servants searched a large circle but failed to find Wang Dachun’s body, and said straight to Chen Si: “Wang Dachun is sixty-five years old this year, and he is also a widower. He was originally working in Yiningfang, but he was transferred to it a few days ago. Tongfangfang. The neighbors didn’t hear the shouts when it happened. It should be a fatal blow. It seems that the murderer sneaked into Liu Weng’s house last night. It happened that Wang Dachun ran into the murderer when he came here to watch the watch. The murderer killed him in order to silence him.”

Chen Sizhi was about to answer the conversation, when he suddenly heard someone over there say: “Wrong. Wang Dachun didn’t just pass by by chance, but came prepared.”

Everyone turned their heads in surprise. At some point there were two more people. Lin Chengyou squatted halfway at the place where the blood was sprayed, gently rubbing something with his fingers. Beside him, squatted a little Taoist priest with a face. While carefully inspecting the ground, the little Taoist described the shape and scope of the bloodstain to Lin Chengyou.

Chen Sizhi and others rushed to greet him: “Lin Ping‌.”

Lin Chengyou said with a smile: “Liu Weng’s case already has a lot of strange things. I heard that there was another homicide case this morning, so I came here for a while. Chen Sizhi, is Wang Dachun’s wound as neat as Liu Weng’s?” ?”

Everyone cautiously glanced at the ground, they didn’t notice that Lin Chengyou’s feet didn’t touch any blood, they were taken aback for a moment, and then realized that the little Taoist around Lin Chengyou had played a role, and when they looked at Teng Yuyi again, their faces became more serious Curious, I have never seen this little Taoist priest beside Lin Chengyou before, and I don’t know where it came from.

“Chen Sizhi?”

“Oh.” Chen Sizhi came back to his senses, “That’s right, and Wang Dachun’s head has not yet been found. Lin Ping‌, why do you say that Wang Dachun came prepared?”

Lin Chengyou drew a large circle in front of him with his hands, and said unhurriedly: “It was the fourth watch day, and someone in this house was murdered not long ago. According to common sense, Wang Dachun finished the watch. He will leave in a hurry, but after careful comparison, there is a string of clean footprints inside the gate, the size and shape of which are consistent with Wang Dachun’s. The strange thing is that they are not stained with blood. It can be seen that Wang Dachun left footprints before he was killed. But this house is not only locked every night, but also sealed with the Dali Temple. If you don’t go over the wall, it is impossible to leave footprints inside. This shows that Wang Dachun sneaked into the house last night, and happened to bump into the murderer On the first day, he was defeated by the murderer, so he jumped over the wall and escaped, and was killed by the murderer after running a few steps.”

Following these words, Chen Sizhi inspected the inside and outside of the house, and sure enough they all matched, those contempt and impatience expressions were finally put away completely, and he piled up a smile and said: “Lin Ping’s judgment is like a god. I never imagined that a watchman could be so tricky.”

Teng Yuyi looked at the Dali Temple official behind Lin Chengyou. When she looked at people, she didn’t look at the surface, but looked at the bones of people. She was in her thirties, and she looked gentle on the surface, but she had nothing on her body. ‌Yan Sizhi’s patience in handling the case is far less than Yan Sizhi’s integrity.

Such a comparison highlights the value of Yan Sizhi even more.

Teng Yuyi sighed with regret, life is normal, Lin Chengyou lost not only a pair of eyes, but also the most admired colleague and partner, she can imagine how sad Lin Chengyou was when he knew Yan Sizhi was killed.

“In my opinion, the three of them may have known each other in the past.” Lin Chengyou said, “Wang Dachun originally worked in Yiningfang, but managed to be transferred here not long ago. Maybe he came here for Liu Weng. It also coincides with the intention of the murderer. The three of them were fighting among themselves or robbing the same thing. The murderer not only committed the crime, but also took away the heads of the two of them. Most of this is to prevent us from passing through the mouth of wronged souls. Ask who he is. The head is cut off, which means that the tongue, throat, and spirit are gone. Even if you are a ghost, you can’t say who killed you. In addition, the murderer should not only kill There was a person, I came here last night, and found a wandering spirit in the alley, if the murderer was watching nearby, it means that he has a serious murder, no matter where he goes, there are ghosts following him.”

Chen Sizhi said puzzledly: “According to Lin Ping, what exactly are the murderer and Wang Dachun looking for? Liu Weng was only a charcoal seller during his lifetime, so he has no valuables.”

“Is something worthless? You have to find it and see it.” Lin Chengyou said, “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? Not to mention neatly, Liu Weng and Wang Dachun didn’t even have time to call for help before they were killed, this method reminds me of a familiar hidden weapon.”

Teng Yuyi’s heart skipped a beat, and the silver silk weapon suddenly appeared in his mind.

Although it is already known that the master behind the scenes is Chun’an County King, Chun’an County King only said that this silver silk weapon was bought by Haoyue Sanren with a lot of money. They think it is light and easy to use, and can kill people in shape. As for where the Haoyue Sanren got it in the first place, it has always been a mystery.

I remember that time when discussing the method of dealing with corpse evil in Caifeng Tower, it was mentioned that the soldiers of Jiannan Road once encountered the corpse king in Nanzhao Kingdom, and it was like using a string in the barracks The weapon saw off the fangs of the corpse king to successfully exorcise the evil spirits.

Could it be that this kind of hidden murder weapon was first passed from the Nanzhao Kingdom to the Central Plains?

“By the way, Chen Sizhi, when I came yesterday afternoon, I asked Dong Yamen to go to Chang’an County to ask for Liu Weng’s household registration. Can I get it back now?”

Chen Sizhi said, “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 Kingdom and Jiannan Road. , It is said that they make a living by selling goods, as for what kind of goods they sell, I am not sure.”

Teng Yuyi was startled, could it really be related to Nanzhao Kingdom.

“Why don’t we check out Wang Dachun’s background along the way.” Lin Chengyou raised his eyebrows, “Before he came to Chang’an to be a watchman, he might have stayed in Jiannan Road and Nanzhao Kingdom. Last year, there was a secret popular This expensive silver silk weapon probably came from the voodoo land of Nanzhao Kingdom, if both Liu Weng and Wang Dachun were killed by this kind of hidden weapon, I can roughly guess what the murderer’s purpose is.”

I remember that when investigating the case of Uncle Huang and Haoyue Sanren, he once inquired about the price of this kind of silver silk weapon sold in the market. Taking Zhuang Mu as an example, the silver thread in his hand was priced at tens of thousands of dollars. The owner of Fenglou, Peng Yugui, has millions of dollars and only bought one for self-defense.

I heard that people in the Jianghu 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 came out one after another.

It seems that once the rumors have passed, this group of people is ready to move again.

I also heard that there is a remote witchcraft land in Nanzhao State. The local people have always been isolated from the world and have always been pure in nature. In order to obtain food and clothing, the people often sell some local rare things to the Central Plains at low prices. people and barbarians.

This kind of hidden silver weapon may have originated from a mine in a deep valley somewhere in Nanzhao Kingdom. If a person masters the unique secrets of making this hidden silver weapon, he only needs to sell it quietly for two or three years. Can be a rich party.

Chen Sizhi also heard about the previous years’ cases, thought about it and said: “Based on this, Liu Weng, the murderer, and Wang Dachun probably made a living selling silver silk weapons together. But somehow, the three They broke up. The murderer and Wang Dachun thought that Liu Weng had hidden the rest of the goods, so one of them killed Liu Weng and rummaged around, and the other went to Magpie Lane to make a special trip. The murderer even risked being discovered. Danger sneaked back into Liu’s house again.”

In this way, the case, which was originally full of fog, suddenly became very clear.

An old yamen servant said with admiration: “I didn’t have any clues at first, but after Lin Pingzhi’s hands, it seems to become less complicated.”

Chen Sizhi sneered: “After all, it’s all for the benefit of the word. The case is not complicated, and the murderer left many loopholes because he was eager to get something. For Lin Ping , Of course it’s not difficult, he’s solved many complicated and confusing cases.”

Teng Yuyi glanced at Chen Sizhi indifferently. Before, he thought Lin Chengyou was in the way, so he stared at Lin Chengyou’s feet as soon as he came, lest Lin Chengyou would destroy the scene.

But it turns out that even if Lin Chengyou is blind, his mind is quicker than theirs.

“Yes.” Lin Chengyou said.

“Yes.” Teng Yuyi raised his head and said, “Brother, what do you want me to do?”

“That thing is probably still in Liu Weng’s house, let’s go in and look for it while the sun is good.”

“Okay.” Teng Yuyi led Lin Chengyou into the house, and every few steps, he would tell Lin Chengyou what he saw.

Chen Sizhi hurriedly led the servants to search inside.

While walking, Lin Chengyou gave Teng Yuyi instructions on how to search for evidence, and Teng Yuyi did as she said.

Maybe it’s a different mood, or maybe it’s because Teng Yuyi’s defensive appearance is really cute, Lin Chengyou is no longer depressed like last night, but smiled instead.

When Chen Sizhi and the others were busy and out of breath, Lin Chengyou and Teng Yuyi sat down in the outer courtyard.

Lin Chengyou asked Teng Yuyi: “If you were Liu Weng, would you hide such an important item in your house?”

Teng Yuyi helped Lin Chengyou re-fasten the cloth strips on his eyes, sat back and held his chin and thought for a while: “If no one comes to **** it, I will keep it by my side. If I know someone is coveting, I will You have to find a better place to hide it.”

Lin Chengyou was half leaning on the porch pillar behind him, turning a piece of dead grass in his hand: “A charcoal seller… how to hide things from people’s eyes and ears…”

After a moment of silence, the two said in unison: “Sell charcoal!”

Teng Yuyi’s tone was so excited that Lin Chengyou could almost see Teng Yuyi’s bright eyes, he couldn’t help laughing and said: “It’s so ineffective, let Yan Sizhi–“

It was only after he finished speaking that he realized that he had made a mistake, and the smile froze on his face.

Teng Yuyi hurriedly said to Chen Sizhi inside: “Chen Sizhi, my brother probably knows where that thing is hidden. It’s not too late, we have to get there before the murderer—”

Come out from Magpie Alley, and while inquiring along the road, he followed Liu Weng’s usual route of selling charcoal to the West Market. When it was almost evening, he found an empty house on the way.

This alley is two blocks away from Magpie Alley. There are only two families living in the alley. The house at the far end is vacant all year round, but Liu Weng comes here almost every day to sell charcoal.

People from Dali Temple searched inside and found a lacquer box in a dark hole in the upper room.

When the yamen servants took out the things carefully, Teng Yuyi’s eyes lit up instantly. This was the first time she helped Lin Chengyou solve the case.

Lin Chengyou chanted a mantra to make Suohunzhi confirm that there were no hidden weapons and poisons in the lacquer box, and then ordered the yamen servant to open the lacquer box.

Sure enough, there are secret books and keys inside. I opened the secret book and looked at it. It recorded the specific mountain top where the mine was hidden, and the secret method of how to refine and make this hidden weapon. As for the key, it could open the entrance to the mine.

Lin Chengyou weighed the key in his palm, took off the goldfish bag on his waist, and handed it to the yamen servant beside him: “Send a letter to the palace, saying that the gang of big fish who sold silver weapons in the workshop last year were caught, and let the Beiya faction Hundreds of Jinwu Guards came here, and in the next few days, they will have to lie dormant nearby day and night, besides this, the elder brothers present here will not be able to leave the court’s surveillance recently.”

Chen Sizhi and the yamen servants knew that the matter was of great importance, so they hurriedly responded.

Looking at the lacquer box, Teng Yuyi said to Lin Chengyou, “There are still a few books inside.”

The yamen guards carefully took out a look, but they were some secret books recording the techniques of witchcraft in Nanzhao Kingdom. I heard that a hundred years ago in Nanzhao Kingdom, there was a very famous witch queen who was the best at using Gu insects to harm people. These remnants are believed to have been collected by Liu Weng and others inadvertently when they were selling goods in Nanzhao Kingdom, and most of them are dilapidated because they were buried in the past.

The yamen servants were about to put it back as it was, when Teng Yuyi glanced at it and suddenly said: “Absolutely Gu?”

Lin Chengyou was stunned. Although Jueyin Gu was created by Daoism, it has always been called “Gu”. The Gu worm of the Nanzhao State Witch Empress.

Buzheng Sanren passed away many years ago, and the Nanzhao State Witch Empress has already turned into a pile of dry bones. The master has been begging for many years, but he has not been able to find a way to break it.

Teng Yuyi also thought of this, and hurriedly took out the ashes on the title page to pat the ashes on the title page. It was a handwritten copy by later generations. Although the surface was torn, the writing inside was clear.

Turn to the first page, and there is an article: Unable to start, fresh to end. The word  confuses people’s hearts and souls, and those who are emotional are blind.

Piercing his heart, destroying his eyes, making him blind.

Crazy, with a cold hatred in his words.

Teng Yuyi frowned, and took advantage of the situation to read this sentence out.

Lin Chengyou thought for a while, and hurriedly said: “Chen Sizhi, I may take this book back and use it. Please read it first, and then register it in the evidence book.”

***

On the way back, Teng Yuyi was stuttering in the car to read the secret book for Lin Chengyou. It contained too many terms such as Gu art, which was too esoteric for her.

Seeing that Du Che was about to arrive at Cheng Wang’s mansion, she only finished reading the whole secret book.

“How?” She put down the book and looked at Lin Chengyou nervously.

Lin Chengyou’s face is very ugly. This book should be left behind by the Nanzhao State Witch Empress when she was refining the supernatural Gu. Central Plains Taoist.

It is very clear in the book that if there is no miracle medicine to counteract it, the Gu worm will always be attached to the man’s body, no wonder he still can’t recover his eyesight after kissing Teng Yuyi. Buzheng Sanren just put a Taoist shell on the outside, and the Taoist mentality of yin and yang can’t be overcome at all, and getting married may not work.

In the book, it is written clearly what the miracle medicine is, but this thing was kept by the Queen of the Witch at first, and it has long been lost in the world.

If he can’t find that miracle medicine, it means that he will never be able to recover his eyesight…

In order to comfort Teng Yuyi, he smiled and said: “It’s written on it how to understand Gu. As long as I take a miracle medicine, my eyesight will be restored.”

Teng Yuyi completely understood now, they were all played by Buzheng Sanren, and they had to take medicine to make it happen after a long time of trouble, she stagnated, endured the bad breath in her heart, and said: “It’s what the superiors said’ Li Genyao’? What is that?”

Lin Chengyou: “Nanzhao Guoyu. It means the rare treasure of Nanzhao Kingdom, the red whiskers.”

“Red beard wings?” Teng Yuyi has seen many rare treasures since she was a child, but she has never heard of this kind of treasure.

“It is a crystallization of insects in Nanzhao Kingdom. It is about tens of thousands of years old. It can be illuminated at night, and it can be worn on the neck for the effect of rejuvenating and beautifying skin. It is said that the royal family of Nanzhao Kingdom has hidden it. One, but it has been lost many years ago. Hey, don’t be discouraged, as long as I want to search, 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. It’s not so easy to find a treasure that has been lost for a long time.

When the day is found, he and Ayu may both be in their thirties or forties, and the whole ten years will be spent in darkness.

Thinking like this in my heart, I quickly cheered up: “It’s too late, go back to the mansion for dinner first, and then go to Qingyun Temple to show this book to Master—”

But Teng Yuyi said abruptly: “Wait, I know where this baby is.”

Lin Chengyou wondered: “Where?”

Teng Yuyi smiled, and opened the curtain to let the coachman change the way: “Please go to Jinggongfang, Huayang Lane.”

***

An exquisite mansion in Huayang Lane.

Lin Chengyou spread his arms and lay silently between the rear window and the eaves.

Teng Yuyi lay on his back.

This posture has been persisted for a long time. For ordinary people, it is different from torture, but for Lin Chengyou, it is as easy as eating and sleeping. He could clearly hear 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 Xinchang Wang.

On the way here just now, Teng Yuyi assured him that as soon as she opened her mouth, Wu Yingying would obediently hand over this worldly treasure to her. He also told him not to show his face, and let her do it alone. Once he shows up, this matter will involve the court and diplomacy. At that time, he laughed and asked why, but now he knows the reason.

Gu Xian is in the room with his aunt Wu Yingying.

Speaking of which, how did the little villain Teng Yuyi know that Chi Xuyi was in Wu Yingying’s room?

In order to blackmail Wu Yingying, Teng Yuyi made a special trip to stare at Wu Yingying for two months. When the time was almost ripe, she asked Cheng Bo and others to arrange around the house, and she herself used the method he taught her to hold her breath 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.

At that time, he happened to be beating Peng Zhen on Huaixi Road, how could he have expected that Teng Yuyi would not be idle even in Chang’an.

The sound is still ringing in the room.

It’s been almost an hour, and the two of them haven’t stopped.

On the bed, in front of the table, behind the screen, in the clean room…

It was also the first time for him to know that there are so many tricks in this kind of trick.

His heart was beating like a drum, and his body was sweating layer after layer. This feeling was more tiring than fighting a few fights on weekdays.

Is it over?

If it goes on like this, he will hardly be able to hold on anymore.

Teng Yuyi lay on Lin Chengyou’s body, not much better than Lin Chengyou.

The face was burning hot, and the heartbeat was deafening. Who would have thought that Gu Xian would run into Wu Yingying as soon as he arrived tonight.

Perhaps because they are about to leave for Nanzhao Kingdom, they are afraid that there will be no chance to have an affair in the future.

Although Lin Chengyou has been as still as a mountain, he looks even more uncomfortable than her. Except for the scarlet cloth strip, his face is covered with sweat.

Beads of sweat are slowly dripping down his temples.
