Attack Jade (攻玉) - Chapter 105

[Chapter 74: Catching Worms The Man Behind the Curtain]

Lin Chengyou pulled the two younger sisters to the empress, performed the ceremony, sat down in his robe, and smiled: “The nephew is not unwilling to help pick, the nephew is afraid of picking badly.” The

empress picked up a few coral beads and leaned over Changyi and Azhi’s heads and compared: “This is all the way the Weaving and Dyeing Department 1 only played this year, looking at a few outstanding, it is difficult enough to say that these skilled craftsmen, no matter how clever the mind is, it is impossible to innovate every year.” You are an older brother, you happen to come, just help your sister pick a few things, they will be very happy, the rest of these, aunt plans to take to reward this year’s group of meritorious family members.

Ah Zhi pointed to a chain of Jing Zhen treasure chains in front of him and said to Lin Chengyou, “Oh, Sister Ah chose this.” Then

he held up a crystal clear jasper crown: “I picked this, brother, you help me put it on.”

Lin Chengyou patiently helped Ah Zhi to fasten the crown on her head.

Ah Zhi tilted her head and asked, “Is it all right?”

Lin Chengyou tilted his head back a few inches slightly, looked at it seriously, and then pinched Ah Zhi’s fat face, and smiled: “We Ah Zhi wear this is really beautiful.”

Ah Zhi giggled, feeling very happy, and Chang Yi asked with concern, “Big Brother Ah, have you been busy with cases these past few days?” Why is there always so many cases to be solved at Dali Temple? The

queen nodded affectionately at her daughter’s face: “Silly child, what is this called, there are always cases happening, because there are always people in this world who commit adultery for the sake of profit.”

Lin Chengyou helped the two sisters pick a few things, couldn’t help but stare at the pearl on the table, the light in the tunnel was dim yesterday, but the second floor underground palace was still quite bright, if he remembered correctly, Teng Yuyi was hanging a pair of pearls on the side of the side, so she lost the step shake?

Yesterday she was anxious to find Jing Chenshi to inquire about this matter, she should have attached great importance to this thing, but unfortunately he was a little far away at that time, Teng Yuyi’s voice was low, he only vaguely heard the two words “Ah Niang”, and he did not understand any other words.

Thinking like this, he picked up the step shake, turned it around casually on his fingertips, and casually asked, “Auntie, is this pearl step shake very uncommon?”

Empress Liu Bingyu was frightened, and she moved her gaze to Lin Chengyou, looked at her several times without moving, and asked with patience and joy: “Why do you inquire about this?”

Lin Chengyou sighed: “In a recent case, a witness lost such a step shake, and I heard that it was very valuable, so my nephew wanted to ask how much it was worth.”

Liu Bingyu looked at him as usual, full of surprise and turned into a faint disappointment: “Whether it is expensive or cheap, mainly depends on the appearance of the beads, if it is similar to the pair on the table, a pair of about tens of thousands of dollars.”

Lin Chengyou thought back for a moment, Teng Yuyi’s pair of beads on the step shake is not so big, it can be seen that the price will not be very expensive, even if the color is similar to this, Teng Yuyi is only used to appreciate the pear and the glass beads holding the beads are tens of thousands of dollars, and will put a pair of ordinary jewelry in the eyes.

She would be so distressed by this step, would it be because it was a relic of Ah Niang? He remembered the tears on her eyelashes last night, and felt that it was possible, if it was really a relic left to her by Ah Niang, it would be a pity to lose it in the underground palace.

Unfortunately, at that time, they only cared about fleeing for their lives, and afterwards Teng Yuyi was busy avoiding disasters and did not have the opportunity to go back to find it, moreover, the pattern of the underground palace was ever-changing, and even the Jing Dust Master himself might not be able to find it.

However, no matter how difficult this matter is, it may not be difficult to overthrow him, seeing that Teng Yuyi has been worried about him all day, or will he help her go back to the underground palace to find it?

Liu Bingyu took the two children to pick things on her face, but in fact, she had been secretly paying attention to Lin Chengyou, as long as the child asked her for this pair of step shakes, or quietly tucked the step shakes into her arms, she immediately asked Fei Nu to send a message to Qin Yao and Lin Xiao.

But Lin Chengyou just took the pearl in his hand and looked at it several times, and then put it back into the jewelry box, Liu Bingyu choked, and suddenly showed a headache look.

According to the calculation of the old man’s family, the difficulty in this child’s life was about to arrive, and as a result, his old man was chanting “Not broken, not standing, this child’s own robbery, let this child go to his own”, while packing up his baggage and running away without a shadow.

Qin Yao and Lin Xiao seemed to have also received the instructions of the Qing Xuanzi Daoist Commander, and had not yet appeared in Chang’an City, what was the so-called “love robbery”, everyone had no bottom in their hearts, it was “robbery”, this child would not be moved by this broken bone, the saint was worried about this matter all day, making her also suspenseful.

Reasoning that this child’s “love robbery” should have come to Chang’an long time ago, why did this child not move at all? The Dao Elder was old, so he should not have miscalculated when he was old and dim.0

Overheard the palace people: “The saint has come.” The

emperor strode in, and as he walked, he asked, “Have there been any progress in those murders and fetal removal cases?”

Lin Chengyou stood up: “The nephew is here for this.”

Liu Bingyu took the two children in his hands: “Grandpa and Big Brother are in a hurry to solve the case, let’s not argue here, they say theirs, you and Ah Niang go outside to pick flowers.” When

the emperor sat down and took a sip of tea, Lin Chengyou told all the clues he had found in the past few days, as well as his own speculations.

The emperor listened quietly: “So now you suspect that the murderer may be a relative and friend of Shu Liniang?”

Lin Chengyou said, “Nephew went to ‘Jinyun Waterfall’ today to inquire, and it turned out that the seventeen murderers of last month might have targeted Shu Liniang.” Even so, the murderer obtained the first child in Tongzhou on the fifth day of March, and he could immediately take the second child, but he did not kill Shu Liniang until March 25. Before starting to stalk, but also stalked for so long, it can be seen that he has always wanted to find an opportunity to get the fetus outside, which is also the more strange part of the case, Shu Liniang’s residence is more secluded than obviously outside, why doesn’t the murderer take the fetus in her home? Combined with the shape of this person, I guess he is afraid of being bumped into by Shu Liniang’s neighbors when he moves, so it can be seen that Shu Liniang’s neighbors have seen this person in the past. The

emperor sighed, “So now you suspect that Shu Wenliang is the murderer, afraid that he will abscond in fear of crime, so you asked someone to seal the city?”

Lin Chengyou bowed his head: “He and Shu Liniang are cousins, and they have also come to Chun’an Lane in the past, and their figure is similar to the murderers seen by witnesses, if they are bumped into by Shu Liniang’s neighbors on the night of the incident, it is very easy to think of him.” But if it is really him, there are still several doubts to be understood.

“First, he is Shu Liniang’s cousin, even if he knows the bad things that Shu Liniang has done, how can he know that Xiao Jiang is an evil person? Killing people and taking tires is extremely harmful to their own cultivation, and it is impossible to do it accurately just by relying on some gossip and rumors, but this person has laid out such a bureau before killing Xiao Jiang,Indicating that after careful consideration and daring to do something, he must be sure that he will not kill the wrong person. Second, this person can awaken the endurance, indicating that he is extremely knowledgeable about evil arts, and his nephew currently only knows that this person has been a jinshi fifteen years ago, and has been serving under Peng Zhen in Huaixi Province since then, when he came into contact with Daoism, and when he fell into the cult party, all this is still unclear, only after the arrest of this person and then interrogated in detail. “Patience–” The

emperor pondered, “Last time it was corpse evil, this time it was endeavor, so it seems that several cases are involved in evil arts…”

Lin Chengyou said: “I heard that fifteen years ago, my uncle gave orders to vigorously clean up the evil cult party, and these things that have happened in the past few days are the same as the evil arts of that year, and the nephew suspects that it is related to the remnants of the residue left behind in that year.” So I wanted to ask my uncle what was going on. The emperor’s eyes grew solemn, “The

cause of this incident must start from a massacre in Chang’an City fifteen years ago.” At that time, there was a Daoist sect called Wujimen, and there was a Daoist monk named Qiankun Sanren, who was proud of his Daoist methods, and from a young age, he carefully studied various evil arts, and over the years, he not only searched the ancient books of Daoist evil arts in the world, but also wrote a “Soul Sutra” based on this. One year, in order to fight with another Daoist, Qiankun Sanren used the magic in the Soul Sutra to suck away the soul of the An Yifang family, causing the family to die.

“Qiankun Sanren didn’t know the family, and according to his own words, he chose them as targets only because he lived close to casting spellsIt’s more comfortable.

“When your uncle and your aunt heard about this, they were shocked to the extreme.” The dignity of the Tao, the nobility of virtue’. The ‘Tao’ is a vein that always needs to be associated with ‘virtue’. Cultivators do not regard respecting The Noble Virtue as their own thoughts, but this person has clearly regarded Daoist techniques as a toy for the sake of fighting the Fa, and if such evil demons are not greatly suppressed, in the future, I don’t know how many Daoist disciples will go astray, and the Daoists will also become filthy because of the bad practice of these scum.

“The uncle then issued an edict on the spot: Qiankun Sanren and his disciples will be immediately handed over to the Dali Temple for trial, and all those who use cruel Daoist methods to kill people will be hanged, and the rest of the disciples will also have to abolish martial arts on the spot, or exile or migrate, and will not be forgiven for life, and they will also confiscate the relevant secret books of evil arts hidden by Qiankun Sanren and his henchmen, thus shocking the world.”

Speaking of this, the emperor looked at Lin Chengyou and said, “You should remember the secret books of the magic that your master hid in the temple: the Soul Sutra, the Curse… Including the book “Absolute Love” that you mistakenly practiced when you were a child, they were all the secret books that were copied when you swept away the forbidden books fifteen years ago, and your master did not burn these secret books in those years, because he was afraid that there would be a remnant party coming back in the future, and if you kept these fragments, you could also figure out in time how these evil ways were chaotic and harmful. Lin Chengyou’s

jaw dropped, he had read the Soul Sutra a few years ago, and the last time he would recognize in time that Peng Yugui tortured the ghosts of the Tian couple was the famous Qimang Guiding Seal.

The emperor continued, “In addition, my uncle was afraid that Qiankun would leave behind remnants, and he ordered that your master and father-in-law would lead people to conduct a detailed investigation in chang’an’s streets and alleys, and all the major prefectures and counties, and all those who were involved in the world with evil arts without exception needed to be punished, and those who used evil arts as adulterers must be severely punished, and once they were clearly verified, they should all be thrown into prison; If you are only practicing magic out of curiosity, you need to abolish the relevant internal forces immediately. This investigation took four or five years before and after, but it was precisely because of the vigorous suppression of the imperial court that for more than ten years, the magic was almost extinct in Chang’an and various prefectures and counties. After

Lin Chengyou heard these words, he remembered his doubts for several days.

“Does Uncle remember that Dryad?”

“Why do you ask that?”

Lin Chengyou: “This demon appeared in the bamboo forest next to the Ziyun Tower on the night of the Shangwei Festival, and in previous years, every Time the Shangwei Festival, my uncle would lead the courtiers to the Ziyun Tower to see the Big Pick, and the Moon Lantern Pavilion next to it would also gather the newly selected talents of the imperial court on the night of the Shangwei Festival because of the banquet for the soldiers. This tree demon had recently been turned into a demon by people, and if someone had deliberately lured it that night, with its ability, it would have been enough to kill a bunch of korean ministers, and if it succeeded, the imperial court would inevitably have a catastrophe.

“Now that my nephew thinks about it, the Dryad appeared so coincidentally that night, perhaps not just to get the beauty skin bag, but its real target may be the uncle and the minister of the Korean humerus.” Unfortunately, this strange luck was not good, first by the Teng Niangzi who happened to pass by with a claw with the Excalibur, causing a serious damage to the mana, and then being beaten back to the prototype by the nephew on the spot, this conspiracy was eliminated before it was officially launched. The emperor’s

face gradually became solemn.

“As for the two monsters of caifeng lou, they broke the line tomorrow morning, but because someone covered it up by heart, this month has not spilled half a trace of demon qi, and the people behind the scenes have been so carefully maintained, they just want to wait for the power of the two monsters to recover almost, with the help of the power of the two monsters, Chang’an will be bloody, if it can hurt the uncle and the courtiers, maybe it is more in line with the hearts of the people behind the scenes, but unfortunately, this carefully designed bureau is still stirred up by the nephew.

“At this time, the endurance is even more extraordinary, as long as it is fully restored, neither the imperial court nor the people of Chang’an can escape the disaster.” The nephew thought about these cases several times, and he always felt that the people behind the scenes carefully arranged these big situations, in addition to wanting to stir up the world and disturb Chang’an, there was also an inexplicable hatred.

“Hate?” The emperor froze, looked down, and gradually understood a little.

Lin Chengyou said, “Hatred for my uncle and the imperial court.” Thinking back to these evil disasters, except for the tree demon’s slightly lower mana, the remaining evil things are all big things that are not tolerated by heaven and earth, this person’s evil arts are strong, when manipulating these evil things in the shadows, he will also face the risk of being swallowed by the other party at any time, but this person still takes the risk of doing so, which makes the nephew feel… I think this person holds a kind of jade burning obsession, as if he will not hesitate to take his own life to achieve his goal, plus the people behind the scenes are so skilled in evil arts——”The

emperor said clearly: “Do you suspect that the people behind the scenes are because the imperial court swept away the evil cult party fifteen years ago, and then they have hatred for the imperial court and uncle?”

Lin Chengyou sighed, “So my nephew would like to ask my uncle, fifteen years ago, that cult, especially the initiator Qiankun Sanren, did any relatives remain in the world, or did a disciple escape the pursuit of the imperial court?” The

emperor frowned and pondered for a long time, and suddenly remembered something.

“Uncle remembers that Qiankun Sanren is extremely good at winning people’s hearts, and there are many disciples under the door, and they are dead to him one by one, and in order to carry forward the evil arts of this sect, especially for several senior disciples, they are extremely trustworthy, after the incident, Qiankun Sanren deliberately saved the vein of WujiMen, and sent away the eldest disciples that night, and the imperial court went to various states and counties afterwards to hunt them down, but only a part of them were arrested, and two disciples have not been heard from since then. The Dao numbers of these two people are also very easy to remember, one is called Haoyue Sanren, and the other is called Wenqing Sanren.

Lin Chengyou said, “Does Uncle remember the appearance and age of these two male disciples?”

“Male disciple?” The emperor waved his hand, “Wen Qingsan is a male disciple, but Haoyue Sanren is a female disciple.”

“Female disciple?” Lin Chengyou looked thoughtful.

“When my uncle found someone to paint their portraits, it is estimated that they are still in the Serious Case Department of your Dali Temple, but after all, fifteen years have passed since this case, and it may take some effort to find it.”

Lin Chengyou sighed for a moment, smiled and nodded, “I think I already have a clue about this case, but before returning to Dali Temple, my nephew still has a few things he wants to ask his uncle.”

“And you said come and listen.”

“Speaking of the recent case of fetal removal, the first two cases are not to be said, the third victim, Xiao Jiang, seems to have too many coincidences when the accident occurred. For example, on the day of her murder, she went to the spice shop on a whim to buy something, and when she was tired, she decided to go downstairs to the ashram to rest as usual… On that day, whenever there is a change in one link, the murderer’s elaborate bureau will be invalid.

“But Xiao Jiang’s every step is hooked according to the murderer’s plan, and it is precisely because of this series of coincidences that the murderer will be provided with the opportunity to kill and layout.” Therefore, the nephew always felt that this case was different from the previous two cases, in addition to the murderer’s elaborate design, there must be someone secretly helping to promote… Moreover, this person also had to be extremely trusted by Xiao Jiang. Of course, all this is just suspicion, and the nephew can’t find any evidence of this person’s involvement in the crime for the time being, so he wants to ask his uncle, if a man really loves his wife, will he be willing to let gossip hurt her? The

emperor was stunned for a moment, and smiled: “You only need to look at your grandfather, will your grandfather be willing to let your aunt be slandered?” When a man has a beloved woman, he will take all her affairs to heart and will never be willing to let her suffer even a little grievance.
When
Lin Chengyou heard the previous sentence, his eyes lit up, but when he heard the latter sentence, a person suddenly appeared in his head out of place.

He was secretly puzzled, shook the god to shake the figure away from his mind, smiled and stood up: “Nephew understands.” ”
