All of Yuancheng's rhetoric is based on the "fact" that Ling Yi is a demon.

And the proof of the existence of this "fact" is that the fire that should have burned down the Guanyin Temple burned to Ling Mansion inexplicably, so this non-human phenomenon made Yuan Yi insist that Ling Yi was a demon.

Not only that, but somehow this word spread outside, and the people would have believed it, but when they saw the "facts" in front of them, they believed it seven or eight points no matter how much they didn't believe it.

The so-called public opinion is so terrible, Ling Mansion is not an ordinary family, every move falls in the eyes of others, and the storm caused by nature is even more violent.

In just one day, and even before the night was over, the story of the demon in the Ling Mansion spread all over the streets and alleys, and it was expected that there would be "well-wishers" who would report this matter to Emperor Qinglong tomorrow.

Ling Yi knew the consequences, Gong Xiru and Zhu Mo also knew the consequences, although the two of them had not heard about the destruction of the Ling Mansion from Ling Yi, but with Gong Xiru's understanding of Gong Chengyan, he would definitely not let go of this opportunity to hit the Ling Mansion.

Ling Wen pushed away the people who came at him with one palm, and took the time to shout, "How long do you guys have to go?" I can't hold it anymore. ”

Gong Xiru looked back at his situation, and by the way, he overturned the people who were rushing forward with a sword, and said to Zhu Mo: "Leave the rest here to me, you go and help him." ”

Although Zhu Mo was not serious on weekdays, he was quite cooperative at the critical moment, and immediately withdrew to help Ling Wen.

It's hot outside, but it's quiet inside, and those who don't know think there's no one inside.

Ling Yi squatted on the ground, and on the left and right were weaving fans and feathers. Each of them held two candles and shone their light on the floor of the threshold.

"Miss, what are you looking for?" The weaving fan is puzzled. They've been squatting like this for two quarters of an hour. Her legs are so numb now, but she doesn't dare to get up.

Ling Yi stared intently at the barely visible gap in the ground, and pondered, "I can't figure out why people outside say that we are on fire inside, but what we see is that there is fire outside. But as it turned out, there was no fire inside or out. So where does this fire come from? ”

Zhi Yu thought for a while and said: "This is the usual trick used by people in the rivers and lakes, but the maid really can't think of it. What kind of method can make the shadow of the fire reflected on the doors and windows? ”

"No—it's not a phantom." Ling Yi shook his head and said, "Although the fire didn't run in, we did feel a burning heat when we stood at the door. And—" She sniffed. "That faint smell of matches."

Both the fan and the feather smelled, and it did smell.

"Then it's even more strange, it's clear that something is burning, but there's no trace—"

Before he could finish speaking, he heard a bang, something hit the door, and then he heard the screams of people.

"Miss, let's step back a bit. In case this door is broken and it falls on us. You can raise it for half a month. Weaving Fan worriedly persuaded.

Ling Yi suddenly stared at the door intently, and asked, "It was clear that someone hit the door just now." ”

The weaving fan and the weaving feather looked at each other, and they all nodded.

"Then why-" Ling Yi patted the door panel and continued, "Why is there no reaction on the door?" We just heard the sound and didn't see anyone banging on the door, why is that? ”

The weaving fan said with some uncertainty: "Xu This door is too strong?" ”

"No matter how strong the door is, it can't be unresponsive." Ori Ha denied.

"No—no." Ling Yi could vaguely see Ling Wen standing at the door through the crack in the door, struggling to resist.

Ori Yu hesitated for a moment and asked, "Miss, did you find anything?" ”

Ling Yi nodded, shook his head again, and then nodded again, completely immersed in his own thoughts.

I don't know how long it took, but the two maids who had been observing her only felt that they saw the eldest lady's eyes light up, and their whole body was full of joy, as if they had found something.

The corners of Ling Yi's eyes and mouth were full of smiles, and he clapped his hands in surprise and said, "I understand." ”

Outside, Gong Xiru and the three of them had just eliminated all the killers.

Ling Hui looked at the thirty people on the ground in horror, and in less than half an hour, these people had all become wasters.

Zhu Mo snorted disdainfully: "I see that you are fierce and evil, it turns out that you have found such a waste, it is really a waste of my time, I advise you to leave early, don't be embarrassed here, as long as I am here, you don't want to do anything bad to Ling Yatou." ”

Ling Hui's red eyes clenched her teeth tightly, and her angry and vicious eyes seemed to burn everyone.

"Useless waste." She aimed at the person closest to her and kicked it hard, knowing that she could no longer do anything to Ling Yi, she could only throw her sleeves and leave.

The employers are gone, and those killers still have a reason to stay, one by one, they endured severe pain all over their bodies, and jumped over the wall to escape.

It was quiet again outside, and Ling Yi asked, "Are you all right?" ”

Zhu Mo took the lead and walked over, and smiled: "Ling Yatou is worried about me, even if I take a hundred knives on my body, it is worth it." ”

Ling Yi was stunned for a moment before he smiled: "I believe in your skills, not to take a hundred knives, but to give others a hundred knives." ”

Zhu Mo smiled even more, "You still understand me." After speaking, he squeezed his eyes at Gong Xiru, looking a little provocative.

Gong Xiru's face was gloomy, and she sat down on the top steps silently.

The night was as dark as ink, the cold winter wind was blowing, and the coats of the three were used to extinguish the fire and were scrapped, and at this time they could all feel a biting cold wind sweeping in.

Zhu Mo sighed, but he saw that Gong Xiru was sitting straight without changing his face, and he didn't admit defeat more seriously, cleared his throat and said: "Oh, it's really cool this day, and I wear thicker clothes when I go out today." ”

Ling Wen's internal strength was not as good as the two of them, he shivered with cold, and he wanted to lock up into a ball, "I wish Gongzi is really well, the villain is already cold, I still go to the house to sit." Miss Ling, I'm sorry. He turned back and arched his hand at Ling Yi.

The weaving fan in the room laughed, "Miss, these three people are really strange. ”

Ling Yi also felt funny, how old the three of them were, what are they doing so seriously, so she persuaded: "You all go into the house, it should stop in the second half of the night, you are also tired of me all night, don't stay here, go to the guest hall to rest and rest." ”

Zhu Mo really wanted to applaud in his heart, and was about to be, but when he turned his head and saw that Gong Xiru was motionless, he immediately dispelled the idea of going back to the house, and only said to Ling Wen: "You go back first, I'm in good health, this little cold can't help-"

Before he finished speaking, he saw Gong Xiru standing up.

Zhu Mo was stunned, and watched him walk to the guest hall, the smile on his face became proud, and he sniffed, and then he hugged his arms and trembled.

"Girl, I went to change my clothes, I was sweating just now, this smell is really uncomfortable."

Ling Yi smiled and walked back to his seat, in the middle of the night, he was finally going to be clean.

said that after Gong Xiru returned to the guest hall, Gong Sheng was waiting for him at the door.

"Master Hou-" Gong Sheng was a little surprised, Gong Xiru's coat was gone, his clothes were messy, and he looked like he had just experienced a fierce battle, "Could it be Miss Ling Er?" ”

He followed Ling Shandao and knew that Ling Hui had gone up the mountain.

Gong Xiru didn't answer, but asked, "How is the situation in the Ling Mansion?" ”

"The fire has been extinguished, but fortunately, only two courtyards have been burned, and the lady and the child have turned the corner, but—" Gong Sheng hesitated a little.

"Say."

"Yes-" Gong Sheng waited for Gong Xiru to enter the room before he said in a deep voice: "It's just that the monk made a kick from it-"

He told Gong Xiru everything that happened, and finally worried: "This matter has alarmed many people, and Bi Hetang also knows about it, I'm afraid there will be a lot of excitement in the court tomorrow."

Also, Master Hou forgot that you are now Princess Haining's "person", you are so reckless to protect Miss Ling, if Princess Haining finds out, then everything you did before will be wasted. ”

Gong Xiru didn't seem to care, and asked, "Can they be ready at any time without wind and shadow?" ”

"Keep an eye on it at any time, just wait for your order, Master Hou, and our people will go to the thieves' den of the people of Ningguo."

Gong Xiru nodded slowly and reminded: "Those four old men are not fuel-efficient lamps, find a way to separate them, as long as they are separated, they will be sure to win if there is no wind." ”

Gong Sheng should be again, "The little one knows." ”

"In addition, call Master Yuan over, I suspect that there is a hidden mechanism in the Guanyin Temple, he is the best mechanism master in Northern Qin, and there are few tricks in this world that he can't understand." Gong Xiru commanded.

Gong Sheng pondered for a moment and wondered: "Master Hou suspects that Guanyin Temple is not an ordinary temple?" ”

"It's not a suspicion, it's an affirmation, you just go and bring Master Yuan over quickly."

Gong Sheng arched his hand: "The little one will go." ”

When I went out, I hadn't seen Zhu Mo and Ling Wen come back.

Gong Sheng sighed twice in his heart, how could Zhu Mo's little caution be hidden from him.

He glanced back at Gong Xiru, who was deep in thought, sighed and muttered to himself: "Master Hou, it's not a small heart, it's really wishing the little boy to be handsome and graceful, and he will please the girls the most, and the little one is really worried about the future of you and Miss Ling." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he felt two cold rays of light coming from behind him, Gong Sheng trembled unconsciously, patted his mouth in annoyance, quickly quickened his pace, and did not forget to mutter: "This mouth, I really can't control it, why do you always have to tell the truth." ”

In the corner of Bailan Temple, behind the rockery, which was originally quiet and could hear the wind, there was a deliberately suppressed sound of dialogue.

"Fourth master, the palace has sent people to deliver news many times, and seeing that the New Year is approaching, I said that you must go back to the palace."

"Hmph, I know what my father means, he wants me to marry that mother-in-law, so I won't go back.

You quickly send what I said into the palace now, the one surnamed Gong, last time I found someone to kidnap Ling Yatou, I haven't settled accounts with him yet, tomorrow as long as he dares to tell his father right and wrong in front of his father, let Fuquan tell his father how he bullied me. ”

In the dark, Zhu Mo's wanton face became clearer and clearer, he looked in the direction of Guanyin Temple, and said with a smile: "Ling girl, don't worry, this time, I will protect you." (To be continued.) )
