Chapter 11: The Mystery of Luzhou

--- in Luzhou, Huainan Province---

With the ups and downs of the tune of a Jiaowei piano, Di Huaiying at this time was resting by the window in the scattered snow scene outside, and saw the faint Tieguanyin in the palm of his hand with mist around the mouth of the cup, and the gentle blowing was like green silk melting outside the window.

It was as if the lonely sigh of the men's clothes caused an inexplicable commotion among the four surrounding guests.

"This son, this is already your fourth pot of tea, and the shopkeeper sees that you are kind, and specially adds a small dish for you to taste. ”

Looking at the graceful white-clothed boy at the window, Xiao Er, who stopped on one side, had to bow with a dry smile under the urging of the shopkeeper, and then handed over a plate of fragrant beans, but Di Huaiying stretched out his hand at this moment and placed a broken silver on the corner of the table.

"Childe, I just said it, this is a ...... from my shopkeeper"

"Then help me hand it to the gentleman who plays the piano, because his music reminds me of some important things from the past. ”

Xiao Er retreated and walked to the old gentleman of Fuqin, and after clarifying the source, he saw the old man nodding with a smile in the direction of Di Huaiying.

Then another song of clear strings accompanied by Di Huaiying's tea fragrance wafted to the street outside the window.

Unexpectedly, just after half a pillar of incense, Di Huaiying was broken by a figure who rushed to the bamboo building......

"What's the matter, you look like you're thinking about a girl from Dali Temple again?"

The person who came was Li Yuanfang, who was dressed in a Dali Temple uniform, since the first step into the house with cold eyebrows, the strong formation on his body that was incomparably close to the living, which caused the private conversation of the visitors in the building to quickly subside, and then inadvertently quietly evacuated the bamboo building.

"Hehe, maybe I have some connection with someone who abandoned me in the Metropolitan Protectorate. ”

"Master Di is biased when he says this, at that time, Ah Pu and the generals at the head of the city were by your side, and Miss Mo was empty, who do you think I should try to stop?"

"Or, Master Di feels that Li Yuanfang finally chose to save Miss Mo, so he has always felt a little unbalanced in his heart......"

A familiar chain knife was placed on the table, and when Li Yuanfang sat next to Di Huaiying, he didn't expect the latter to frown slightly, and leaned against the window again.

"How's it going to look at the ruins?"

"Master Di is not going, and I don't understand what you want, so I can only make some superficial inquiries. ”

"That's because the Taishou of Luzhou said that Huaiying's natal life is wood, and it is easy to rekindle the ashes 'fire', so he insisted that I was not allowed to go in to investigate for half a minute. ”

Speaking of which, Di Huaiying also felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, after all, when encountering this kind of old stubbornness that believed in orders, no one could change their views on things.

"Well, I'll tell you what I've seen first. ”

After arriving at the Luzhou prison, Yuan Fang took the lead in investigating the rumored ignition point, according to the layout of the scene, there was no forage and other burning things around, and there were no fire candles and enough ventilation to provide the conditions for lighting the fire. ”

"In another place, there were even traces of fire oil pouring on the charred wood, so it was certain that the arson of the prison was committed by outsiders. ”

"The second point is that the prison guards and prisoners who were burned to death at the scene are still being counted, but there is one cell that stands out from the rest, and you can see the lineup and materials that can only be found in the top masters. ”

It's just that on the iron lock that seals the limbs and the eight veins, Yuan Fang can clearly see the traces of slashing with a knife and axe. ”

"So Yuan Fang asked Taishou for the man's case book, and guess what?"

At this point, Li Yuanfang reached out and picked up two fragrant beans in his mouth, and then tilted his head and drank up half a pot of Tieguanyin that Di Huaiying was reluctant to taste.

"Alas... It's not documented at all, is it......"

"Hehe, I can't hide anything from you......"

"As you just said, after Taishou learned of this, he questioned the surviving cell leaders on the spot, but learned that the people held in this cell were special prisoners escorted from Chang'an City, and their secrecy did not allow for the slightest record. ”

"So, now that Taishou is so scared that he doesn't even have the heart to eat, and he always thinks about when to give him Bai Aya so as not to connect the nine clans. ”

As if mocking, Li Yuanfang stretched out his hand again to call Xiao Er to bring some dishes, and then Di Huaiying had a voice.

"According to the previous rumors of the ghost sedan chair, it can be basically determined that it has something to do with the person defeated by Shaoqing seven years ago. ”

"The person that Shaoqing defeated seven years ago? I heard a little about it when I was a child, I heard that it was the one who could make enemies within a radius of ten zhang fall into an illusion?"

Di Huaiying nodded after hearing this, but Li Yuanfang was not too surprised when she heard this.

"No wonder, Dali Temple was quite scheming about this case back then, to know that whenever there are strange people in the rivers and lakes, it will not be obscure, and it will set off another bloody storm. ”

"If there is a chance, Yuan Fang also wants to be a person with infinite strength, so it is not a problem to crush Tibes at that time. ”

Ignoring the lust of the people around him, Di Huaiying sighed deeply and continued to ponder.

"It's just that how could such a secret detention leak the news and cause the secret assassin to show up and burn the prison?"

"Well, I have inquired about this, and only the Taishou and the cell boss know about the process of taking this prisoner into custody, and the rest of the people have not heard of this matter. ”

"If that is the case, the person who leaked the news is between the two of them......"

Di Huaiying pondered, but suddenly saw a familiar figure on Qingshi Street passing by from the window, and then summoned Li Yuanfang on the side to step forward, only to learn the answer.

"This Taishou said, the prison was originally a place with a very bad spirit, and now it has been burned, and it is necessary to find someone who is a master of the Tao to help him do things on the spot, otherwise he will only be afraid of ...... in the future."

Li Yuanfang scratched his head, and said to Di Huaiying that he didn't know how to describe that word, but he didn't know that the latter looked at the end of the bluestone road, turned around and waved to the side shopkeeper.

"Are there any Taoist temples or temples in that direction?"

"Yo! Childe, this is trying to burn incense and worship the Buddha! Not to mention, that direction is the direction of Daqin Temple in Luzhou, and the incense continues to burn every year, and it is said that it works very well!"

Hearing this, Di Huaiying turned his head towards Li Yuanfang on his side, and the corners of his mouth curled slightly.

"Daqin Temple was originally a branch of Christianity in the Roman Empire, which was founded by Aroben who came to find Emperor Taizong decades ago, and believed in the all-inclusive gods. ”

"So does this have anything to do with our case?"

Li Yuanfang was a little surprised, but she didn't know that Di Huaiying picked up the cup and drank the last sip of tea, then shook her robe and stood up.

"Let's go, by the way, listen to what Luzhou Taishou has to say to the missionaries......"
