Attack Jade (攻玉) - Chapter 123

[Chapter 90: Isn’t it just to make Teng Yuyi feel good about me…]

Daming Palace, Shicui Hall.

The palace was full of joy, for this family banquet, the Empress monk food bureau prepared for several days in advance, considering that the long teeth of qingxuezi Dao were not as good as those of young people, and the table was almost full of soft and light vegetarian food.

The seats were set up in the outer hall, with the saints and empresses sitting on the top, the Qingxuzi Daoist sitting in the first place on the east side, and the prince, Lin Chengyou, Chun’an Junwang, Changyi, Azhi and other juniors, sitting in the order of the eldest and youngest.

There were no outsiders at this family banquet, not even the palace people who were waiting, and there was no restraint during the banquet, and the meal was enjoyable and harmonious.

After the meal, the palace was still steaming, and ChangYi and Ah Zhi gathered around Qing Xuanzi, while pulling at his old man’s beard, while inquiring about the master and telling stories.

Qing Xuanzi has always been serious, but he likes children very much, and he smiles at the faces of several children.

The prince even regarded Qing Xuanzi as a flesh and blood relative, and after personally serving a cup of tea, he sat down next to Qing Xuanzi Dao Chief, and asked long and short questions vigorously.

Because the emperor remembered the case of Haoyue’s scattered people, after the meal, he summoned Lin Chengyou alone to the inner sleeping hall for questioning.

Lin Chengyou said all the clues he had so far.

“Before Song Jian died, he said that he had once met Haoyue Sanren entertaining guests in the room, but before he could enter the door, the man had already left, and these days his colleagues at the Dali Temple searched down at the Yuzhen Female Guanguan, and it turned out that Haoyue Sanren, pretending to be The Master of Jing Chen, had secretly dug a secret passage leading to the outside of the workshop in his bedroom for more than ten years, and if the person Song Jian said was the master of Haoyue San’s behind-the-scenes family, it can be seen that this person entered the temple through this secret path every time to plot things.”

The Emperor nodded, “What do you have to say about the identity of the master family behind this curtain?”

Lin Chengyou: “There are three clues that are known now. That night, in order to rob the soul of Haoyue Sanren, the gang of black people lost thirty-three lives, which shows that the main family behind the scenes and Haoyue Sanren have some friendship, and the nephew guesses that Wen Qingshan is still alive, he and Haoyue Sanren are not only brothers and sisters, but also have a common desire for revenge, maybe Wen Qingshan is the real behind-the-scenes master’s family, or at least another right-hand man next to the main family behind the scenes. Of course, there is also a diametrically opposed speculation: that is, this matter has nothing to do with Wen Qingsan people, and the main family behind the scenes itself has a friendship with haoyue scattered people, if this speculation is true, then Wen Qingsan may also serve under another master family.

In addition to these two major clues, Haoyue Sanren also left an important flaw, that is, the false mother Calyx Of cai feng lou. According to the nephew’s point of view, Haoyue San and Wen QingShan people learned most of the skills of Qiankun Sanren, but their skills were not yet at home, so they repeatedly made mistakes when driving away the great evil things. For example, on the day of the reappearance of The True Woman, this matter should not even be expected by haoyue sanren himself, on that day, a black man sneaked into the guan, thinking that he was rushing to inform Haoyue sanren to deal with it early. Speaking

of this, Lin Chengyou suddenly remembered that Teng Yuyi had also dreamed that a black person would be unfavorable to her, and it would not be too coincidental.

After a moment’s hesitation, he added, “Not only is it resistant to weight, but Haoyue is obviously unable to drive away the double evil when he disperses people.” The appearance of the double evil may have been earlier than they expected, and the nephew had suspected that the person who helped to cover up the demon qi in the building was Peng Yugui, but through the nephew’s investigation, Peng Yugui did not even know that there was a great evil in the backyard, otherwise he would not have run to the eye of the array to torture the ghosts of the Tian couple with the Seven Man Guide Seals, and thus left a fatal clue to solve the case.

“The false mother Calyx Ji in Cai Feng Lou is different, she is an old man in Pingkang Fang, in order to wash away her suspicions, she took the initiative to say that the craftsman had broken the foundation, that night we fought double evil in the front building, she also ran to the front floor for a reason, on the face to help us, knowing that she was not secretly taking care of the corpse evil and the gold-clad prince. Later, the gold-clad boy was defeated, and she was afraid that it would say who the person who helped them out was, and she revealed her flaws in a hurry. Unfortunately, the nephew sent someone to monitor these days, and this Ji still did not show his horse’s feet. I think she should be an important chess piece buried in PingkangFang by Haoyue Sanren’s gang, and it will never be used until the critical moment. The

emperor looked at his nephew approvingly, and in a short sentence, he clearly connected several major cases, he thought about it, and suddenly said, “What about Zhuang Mu in that prison?” He is short in stature, and he is also a key witness in this case, is it possible that he is Wen Qingshan, but in order to confuse our eyes, he deliberately made this round with Haoyue Sanren? Lin Chengyou said: “Nephew

thought about this possibility, but Zhuang Mu is a Hu person, the nephew has carefully looked at his eyeballs, it is light brown, no, even close to gold, a person will be transfigured, there is no way to change the color of the eyeballs, Wen Qingshan is a standard Central Plains person, this alone can show that Zhuang Mu is not Wen Qingshan, but about Zhuang Mu’s mastermind behind the scenes, the nephew is almost a little cluey, but now he has not mastered the key clues, Everything is just speculation. Emperor

: “No problem, tell me your guess and let your uncle listen.”

Lin Chengyou sighed for a moment and smiled, “Nephew guess at will, don’t be surprised if you say it wrong uncle.” Let’s talk about these murders and abortion cases, several victims seem to have no connection, but it is interesting that several key figures who have something to do with the victims in the case are all serving in important departments.

Song Jian, the husband of the victim Xiao Jiang, served in the Beiya Forbidden Army (Note 1).

Shu Wenliang, the cousin of the victim Shu Liniang, was serving in Jingzhao Province.

“Shu Liniang is also another housewife raised by Zheng Shuzhao, and Zheng Shuzhao is the prime minister of the dynasty.”

The emperor’s face became solemn, and the Northern Gate forbidden army Jingzhao Fu Zaizhi corresponded to the palace guard Gyeonggi’s important court.

Wouldn’t that be too coincidental.

Lin Chengyou then said, “Nephew first said Song Jian.”

“Song Jian and Jiang Zhenniang’s door is very different, when the uncle and the old lady strongly opposed this affair, it happened that Huaixi Jiedu made Peng Zhen’s wife go to Beijing with her husband, and specially visited the uncle and his wife for this matter, saying that Jiang Zhenniang’s mother had saved her that year, and Jiang Zhenniang was her niece, and it was precisely because of Lady Peng’s guarantee that the uncle and the lady agreed to look at Jiang Zhenniang, and at a glance, they finally agreed to this family affair, so it can be seen that Song Jian can marry Jiang Zhenniang. Mrs. Peng’s great deeds. There is no trace of this matter on the surface, but just for this matchmaker’s friendship, in the future, the Peng family will have something to find Song Jian to help, and the nephew guesses that Song Jian will never shirk it.

“Speaking of Shu Wenliang, after this person lost the election of the imperial court system, he ran to Huaixi Province to serve as an aide under General Peng, and not long after returning to Beijing, Shu Wenliang entered the Jingzhao Mansion under the recommendation of General Peng, and not long after, he sent his beautiful niece Shu Liniang from his hometown to Zheng Shuzhao…” Lin Chengyou shunshi “met” Zheng Shuliang on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Things said.

“As a result, the Forbidden Army of the Northern Ya, the Jingzhao Mansion, and even the prime minister in the court were all associated with the Peng family.”

The emperor was stunned for half a moment, and slowly sat down on the bed of the golden lacquer: “Good boy, go on.” “In addition to these three people in the court, Zhuang Mu’s

role in this case is also very crucial, he deliberately peddled the kind of silver wire weapons used by the Black Dragon people in the West Market, the original intention was to attract the master of the black people behind the scenes, but he did not expect to arouse the vigilance of the Haoyue Scattered People.”

Haoyue first planted the stolen Zhuang Mu, and then framed Shu Wenliang as Wen Qingshan, the purpose of this is nothing more than to deal with the main family behind these two people, from Shu Wenliang’s resume and a series of actions after he returned to Chang’an, if there is really a main family behind him, it is most likely general Peng, and if Zhuang Mu and Shu Wenliang are people on the same line, then Zhuang Mu’s master family behind the scenes is also very good to guess, the two of them, one was installed in Jingzhao Province, One is housed in the liveliest west market. The emperor was

extremely shocked, these facts were too hidden, if it were not for the Xiao Jiang case, someone happened to break into the scene, even if the Peng family installed more people in chang’an yamen and fang city, it would be difficult to arouse the vigilance of the imperial court in a short period of time.

Is it possible that someone framed Peng Zhen? Immediately he denied it in his heart, and if he didn’t say anything else, he helped Song Jian say that he was close to this matter, but it was personally handled by Lady Peng, Shu Wenliang had served as a staff member in Huaixi Province for many years, and he could not enter Jingzhao Mansion with his qualifications, and the reason why he could enter the office as soon as he returned to Beijing was definitely inseparable from Peng Zhen’s secret promotion.

“The nephew will put it in later.”The case file compiled by Yan Jizhi was sent to the palace for you to see. Lin Chengyou said, “Up to now, the city government of the master family behind haoyue sanren is really unexpected by his nephew.” The Emperor was

a little moved: “Oh, you have to elaborate. “This

person pushed Zhuang Mu and Shu Wenliang in front of the Dali Temple, just to let us look down.” If it is found that Peng Zhen is really antipathetic, the actions of the imperial court will definitely not be able to conceal the Peng family, and if the imperial court moves, the Peng family will also make a counterattack.

“If Peng Zhen had no objections, the imperial court would undoubtedly succeed in provoking a gap between the Peng family and the imperial court by making such an overt and covert visit.” Therefore, no matter what the imperial court does next, this matter will lay the foundation for the future. The nephew had handled so many cases at the Dali Temple, and for the first time he had seen someone with such meticulous mental skills. The

emperor was silent for a long time, and said, “So after you successfully used Zhuang Mu’s ‘prison escape’ to lure Out Song Jian, you kept Zhuang Mu’s chess piece in prison and didn’t move, because you knew that one move was equivalent to hitting the other party’s trap?”

“Yes.” Lin Chengyou said, “The nephew can use Zhuang Mu to make a game, and he can also ensure that this bureau will force the Peng family to show its feet, but don’t expect what the master family behind Haoyue’s scattered people will do.” Next, whether the Peng family rebelled with the trend or secretly made other measures, it would only cause a situation in which the imperial court and the Peng family played a game with each other, and the Haoyue scattered people’s faction could sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight effortlessly, and the nephew felt that instead of rushing to force the Peng family to show their feet, it was better to first find out who the person behind the Haoyue scattered people really was.

The emperor couldn’t resist getting up and pacing, slowly clearing the thoughts in his mind thoroughly, and then he said in a deep voice: “Good boy, it is difficult for you to think so thoroughly.” If this matter is really related to the Peng family, the reason for this is not difficult to guess, these years the imperial court has repeatedly suppressed the Zhen Dynasty, the Peng father and son should not be willing to return the military power to the imperial court, so there is a reaction, Huaixi Province now has more than 100,000 troops, and with ShannanDongDao, Ziqing and other mutual assistance, if they also secretly planted people and horses in Chang’an, anti-flag, the imperial court said that it would take two or three years to put down the rebellion.

“And since the other master behind the scenes is anxious to force the Peng family to rebel, it shows that this person also has a bad intention, once the imperial court starts a war with Huaixi Province, this person may take advantage of the situation to rebel, and when the troops in Beijing are empty, this person’s chances of winning will be greatly increased, so your concerns are not unreasonable, rather than rushing to deal with the Peng family on the surface, it is better to first pull out another person in the shadows, but there is a point, if Zhuang Mu is really a pawn of the Peng family, Let this chess piece stay in the prison of Dali Temple for a long time, the Peng family will certainly be uneasy day and night, and the uncle feels that even if zhuang Mu is not used to make a game, he must quickly find an excuse to release this chess piece from prison.

Lin Chengyou said, “That’s exactly what my nephew thinks—”

By the way, he said his plan to “release” Zhuang Mu in a logical way.

The two nephews carefully discussed the next measures, and when the matter was almost agreed, they heard the giggles of Changyi and Azhi coming from outside, and the emperor remembered that Master still had something to say to himself, and Wen Sheng said to Lin Chengyou: “Let’s talk about this first, let’s go out and look for your master.” After

a while, he found Qing Xuanzi by the fish pond outside, and the emperor went over to support his master’s arm: “Do you have something to say to Ah Han in your old man’s house?”

Qing Xuanzi looked sideways at Lin Chengyou over there: “Go inside and say go.”

Lin Chengyou touched his chin, Shi Gong should not tell his uncle about him, and overheard the queen in the pavilion over there: “Ah Da, come here, your aunt has something to ask you.” Here,

the emperor helped Qing Xuanzi into the inner hall, and waved his hand to retreat from the palace again: “Do you want to talk about You’er?” Yesterday you sent people to say that this child has a happy little lady, I listened to it for half the night, but this morning I went to guanli to take a look, and the mark on the back of this child’s neck has not disappeared.

Qing Xuanzi looked solemn: “So this matter is strange, I don’t know if you remember, a hundred years ago, the evil way of making this absolutely cruel cult is called the Immortals.”

Ah Han nodded, “This name is probably taken from ‘indisputable virtue’.” Qing

Xuanzi snorted coldly: “The name is ‘no dispute’, but what he does is all dirty things that betray morality and harm people.” Most of the stinky abilities of the Qiankun Scattered People of wujimen were inherited from the line of not fighting for the scattered people. This thief Dao because of a woman can not ask for and can not come up with such a spell trick, written into a secret book is to let posterity as he is tortured by love words, You’er since the middle of the cheat, once a year headache attack, but to the age of the matter, or the little lady moved, I know that this child likes Teng Niangzi, these days are mixed, happy is that even the most powerful trick can not suppress a person’s mind, worried that this worm is still in his body, the worm is not removed for a day, it is impossible to predict the variables. This year is the year of this child’s love affair, alas-”

Ah Han: “Are you worried that this child will suffer a lot?”

Qing Xuanzi: “Not to fight for the lack of morality is extreme, for the teacher is afraid that this poison is not so simple.”

Ah Han thought for a moment and said optimistically: “I think that your old man does not have to worry too much, don’t you have to calculate the gua for You’er, this child has a smooth life, even if he planted a few heels in the middle, the end will also be fierce, originally we were worried that he could not be emotional for a lifetime, and now he has a favorite little lady, the biggest worry is gone, the worms can’t get rid of it, maybe it’s only a headache once a year, you are worried about it.” It is better to relax your mind first, maybe this child will have some opportunities in the future, and take a step to see. During the conversation, the children’s

cheerful laughter drifted from the outer hall, this laughter was extremely contagious, even with the look of Qing Xuanzi was also relaxed a few points, he was silent and half-dazed, and sighed a long time: “Then look at it first, I heard that Lady Teng’s name is also in the list of students of Xiangxiang Academy?” Give me the child’s birthday, and I’ll take a look at it for her.

Ah Han looked at the change in Master’s look, and his heart was also loose, and he helped Master get up: “Good.” ***

The

empress smiled and squinted and asked Lin Chengyou, “Look at Lady Teng?” Lin Chengyou’s face was

thick and thick, and he was still a little embarrassed to be asked by the elders like this, fortunately, there was no one else in the pavilion, and even the Azhi sisters were playing with the prince and the emperor outside.

“Yes.” Lin Chengyou nodded and smiled, pouring himself tea as he spoke.

Liu Bingyu waited for his nephew to admit it himself, and when he heard the words, he was overjoyed and gladly clapped his hands: “This is a great joy!” Do you want to ask your aunt to marry? Don’t worry, your aunt will immediately marry you and Lady Teng.

Lin Chengyou just raised the tea cup to his lips, heard this and took a sip of tea almost squirted out, hurriedly put down the tea cup, cleared his throat, and said: “Wait, wait, aunt, don’t be anxious, the nephew is looking at her, but she has not yet looked at me.”

Liu Bingyu was stunned, and only then did she find that Lin Chengyou’s face was red, her smile deepened, and she nodded with a smile: “Auntie understands, now only you are the child’s wishful thinking?”

Even if Lin Chengyou didn’t want to admit it anymore, he had to nod his head to admit it, and when he nodded his head and looked up, he found that his aunt seemed to be smiling, and he was embarrassed: “Auntie, don’t patronize the joke nephew, you know the little lady’s mind best, the nephew entered the palace today, just want to ask the aunt, what is the way to make Lady Teng like the nephew.”

Liu Bingyu asked with great interest, “Does Lady Teng have a crush now?”

Lin Chengyou subconsciously looked outside the pavilion, by the fish pond, the emperor was patiently helping Ah Zhi pick flowers, that night Teng Yuyi was bent on sending the purple jade saddle to his hand, the purple jade saddle had not yet been sent out, and how could he meet the emperor in the Zhixu Pavilion, so that scene at that time was just a coincidence.

“She—she should have no sweetheart.”

Liu Bingyu did not seem to be satisfied with this answer, and asked: “Is there or not?”

Lin Chengyou secretly wondered, Teng Yuyi was so unlucky, just taking refuge was enough for her to be busy, during this time he was saving her and teaching her self-defense skills, she didn’t even look at him, and it was impossible to look at others.

“No, absolutely not.” This time there was a tone of affirmation.

Liu Bingyu couldn’t help but laugh in her heart again, but her face was very serious: “You first have to confirm whether she has a crush, Teng Niangzi is only able to reach out, this young lady likes a certain Lang Jun, nothing more than talent and appearance make her fall in love——”

Speaking between gestures to look at the nephew, it is difficult to have a little lady who looks down on this child’s appearance, talent and ability, not to mention, so it did not make Teng Niangzi moved, it should not be this child’s temperament is not right teng Niangzi’s appetite.

It seems that the child’s crux of the problem lies in the temperament, she thought about it, and said euphemistically: “Lady Teng did not fall in love with you at first sight, indicating that she is more concerned about the man’s temperament than the skin bag and talent.” If you want to make Lady Teng move your heart, you must first show sincerity, when your aunt liked your uncle, she felt that your uncle was reliable. Listen, first, you have to be extra patient in front of Lady Teng.

Lin Chengyou’s eyes lit up, last night Ren he wanted to break his head, and he couldn’t figure out why Teng Yuyi didn’t look at him, the original answer was here.

He used to seem to be impatient with her.

He pondered for a moment and said, “Nephew understands.” Be patient with her.

“The second one.” Liu Bingyu added, “You have to let her know that you care about her.” Oh

, this is also simple, let her know that the red flame horse he gave her, this is enough to prove that he already cares about her.

Lin Chengyou nodded seriously: “Understood.”

“Third, you have to learn to accommodate her.”

Sigh, this is simpler, isn’t it not to fight back and scold not to return the mouth, Teng Yuyi has not lost his temper in front of him before, as long as she is not too excessive, horizontal and vertical he is good to cling to her.

“Understood.”

At the end, Liu Bingyu summed it up: “If you do the above three points, your aunt believes that Lady Teng will change her mind about you.”

Lin Chengyou said confidently, “Nephew understands.”

Liu Bingyu looked at his nephew suspiciously: “Really understand? “Got

it.”

It used to be that he was careless, and it turned out to be so simple.

How hard is that.

He was sure that within ten days Teng Yuyi would fall in love with him.

Liu Bingyu was still not at ease: “It is not enough for you to understand in your heart, you have to make sure that every one of them can be done.” “Yes

.” Extremely determined tone.

Liu Bingyu hesitated slightly, this child has been smart since childhood, and he really understands it, so he added a layer of joy to his face: “You and Lady Teng usually have no chance to meet, but don’t worry, your aunt has her own method.” It just so happens that your uncle asked your aunt to arrange for the girls of Xiangxiang Academy to go to Lishan To play, and then the sons of each family will also go, don’t blame your aunt for not reminding you, you think about what to do when the time comes.

Lin Chengyou thought about it in his head and said with a smile, “Nephew knows what to do.” ***

The next night, Dali Temple, in prison.

Lin Chengyou untied the chains on Zhuang Mu’s body one by one, and opened the baggage in his hand: “Everything you want is here.” In addition to the two hundred gold and the house you want, even the fast horse is ready for you. The

baggage was full of huang Chengcheng’s gold nuggets, and Zhuang Mu pulled the corners of his mouth: “Your excellency is a heavy promise.” Lin Chengyou stretched

a long tone: “If you can help catch Haoyue Scattered People, you can also be regarded as a contribution, since you said it in advance, after the matter is completed, it is natural to do it according to the agreement.”

Zhuang Mu did not move: “You don’t wonder who is the main family behind me?”

Lin Chengyou smiled and raised his hand to write two words on the ground.

Zhuang Mu’s face was indifferent, but his eyes trembled very delicately.

This fleeting change was immediately captured by Lin Chengyou, who said in his heart, sure enough, it was Peng Zhen, who raised his eyebrows: “Among these conditions that you and I agreed in advance, there is no such thing as ‘saying the master behind the scenes’, before I change my mind, hurry up.” Zhuang Mu was silent: “The

reason why I promised to help you with the game was only to avenge the arrow, and now that the Jing Dust Master who framed me is too dead, then I can also be regarded as a wish-”

His voice did not fall, his face suddenly stained with a layer of dark black, and Yan Jizhi and the servants next to him were shocked when they saw it.

Lin Chengyou did not stop it, but only quietly watched Zhuang Mu poison fall to the ground.

“This, how is this good—” Yan Jizhi and the others stomped their feet heavily, “in the end he was told to bite poison and die, and how did this make a game to lead out the people behind him.”

Lin Chengyou looked at Zhuang Mu’s corpse, but in his mind he thought of the mastermind behind Haoyue’s scattered people: Didn’t your excellency just want to use the hand of Dali Temple to force Peng Zhen to rebel in advance, I’m sorry, your wishful thinking has failed. Zhuang Mu’s death, Peng Zhen’s side can be relieved, and then dali temple will free up its hands to concentrate on dealing with you, don’t worry, sooner or later tear off your mask.

***

The next day, Zhang Tingrui, the secretary of the Dali Temple, once again reported the latest findings in front of the imperial court.

With the suicide of Jing Chenshitai and Zhuang Mu, the case of caesarean section that shocked Chang’an finally came to an end.

In order to celebrate this matter, the emperor decreed on the same day that the recent Lishan Flower Ming Jingxiu was a good day to enjoy the spring, and the ministers of the DPRK, the female relatives and children of the ministers, the children of foreign officials, and the female students of the Xiangxiang Academy accompanied them to Lishan to play.

***

On this day, Teng Yuyi and Du Tinglan shared a car to Lishan Mountain, and along the way they encountered calves from various provinces, and when the calves walked side by side, the little ladies in the car would smile and lift the curtains to each other.

Teng Yuyi chatted with Sister A while enjoying the scenery through the drapery hat.

Seeing that it was about to enter the mountain, the beauty of the green leaves covered the sky, the murmur of the spring water came from a high place, and the noble children riding horses passed by the calves from time to time, Teng Yuyi inadvertently glanced back when admiring the scenery, not paying attention to a pair of dark and heavy eyes, this person was about eighteen or nineteen years old, wearing a royal blue shirt.

Someone next to him called the man, “Grand Duke Wu.” It seems

that it is a certain prince of Wu Rujun in the imperial history, the brother of Wu Ji and Wu Qi.

Wu Gongzi was also looking at Teng Yuyi, his eyes were burning, as if he could see people’s hearts at a glance, Teng Yuyi was cold in his heart, and was about to lower the window curtain, but he heard the little lady of the calf car next door whisper shyly, and when he looked down, he saw Lin Chengyou and the King of Chun’an County, walking side by side, and behind them were the prince and Gu Xian, the prince of the Nanzhao state, and several people laughed and crossed the horse, attracting the attention of the ladies and ladies in the calves of the provinces along the way.

The most outstanding of the group was Lin Chengyou, who wore a crimson tuanbao flower shirt and rode a horseIn the spring breeze, how eye-catching it is.

Teng Yuyi saw the purple jade saddle at a glance, and Lin Chengyou, as if he was afraid that others would not see it, deliberately chose a horse that was whiter than the previous thousand-mile colt.

Lin Chengyou said with a smile and galloped over the horse, although he had already seen Teng Fu’s calf car, but he did not squint, and the three he was already familiar with: wait for her to be patient, tell Teng Yuyi that the little red horse was sent by him, and accommodate Teng Yuyi everywhere.

How simple three, he bet that when he came down from Lishan Mountain, Teng Yuyi would like him so much.
