The third murder case of Taishi Shuyuan was suppressed by Dali Temple, Yu Shu went to Si Tianjian the next day, and saw that everyone was discussing yesterday's water and land conference in the palace, just like Zhan Xueyuan's death, but a stone fell into the sea, and it couldn't stir up any waves.

Last night, when the young eunuch Ren gave an order, he found a few Yi Shi who were proficient in weather prediction in all corners of the capital.

As soon as Yu Shu entered the conference hall in the morning, he saw several unfamiliar faces present, not wearing official uniforms, some were slightly restrained, and some were generous.

Ren Qiming sat in yesterday's position, his clothes were wrinkled, his face was tired, and it seemed that he didn't go back last night.

When everyone arrived, Ren Qiming briefly introduced those Yi Shi and went straight to the point:

"According to the calculations of several gentlemen, there is a high probability that there will be a rain today, and if it doesn't come down at noon, it will be in the afternoon."

The faces of the people were overjoyed, and as soon as they had discussed two sentences, they heard him overpower the voices of the crowd and continued:

"This official has already asked for a big reminder, and now I want to pick one of you to choose one of you to be in the emergency, and try to ask for rain at the afternoon water and land conference, so as to debunk the tricks of the Dongying Onmyoji, which of you would like to recommend yourself?"

At this moment, everyone was silent again.

Anyone's heart and eyes are not white, this rain is not necessarily, I don't see the sky outside, how can it be raining at all. When the time comes, it is a matter of merit to ask for rain, and if you can't ask for rain, you will become a black pot.

It's small to be embarrassed by yourself, but it means that the entire Da'an Yi Division has lost people, and what will you mix up in the future.

Yu Shu pretended to be dumb like everyone else, but what he was thinking about was the things on the side.

Ren Qiming's face sank. His gaze swept over their heads, landed on one of them, and asked, "Xin Zuoju, who do you think should be responsible for this matter?" ”

Xin Ya blinked, pretended to think for a moment, and asked: "Let's ask the young eunuch, have you calculated exactly what time and hour it will rain today, when you saw that yin and yang warlock yesterday, you will attract rain on the spot, if we only know that it will rain." I don't know the exact time. I'm afraid it's self-defeating. ”

When everyone heard him say this, they were all relieved.

Yu Shu squinted at Xin Ya, thinking that he would be a good person.

Ren Qiming didn't answer him, but turned to Jing Chen on the other side. He asked again, "What does the right order think?" ”

Jing Chen looked at everyone's evasive gaze. "Leave this matter to me." ”

Ren Qiming didn't seem surprised by his answer. He sighed slightly, nodded, and acquiesced.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Thinking about it, it is indeed very suitable to leave this matter to Jingchen to do, if it is successful, it will be done, but it will not be successful, with the emperor's protection and favor, who can blame him.

Solved this matter, there is one more headache.

"As for the resurrection of the dead," Ren Qiming frowned, and said, "Although I haven't seen it with my own eyes, it must be a trick to pretend to be a ghost, and it's not terrible." ”

Last night, the deception of Dongying Onmyoji calling for wind and rain was exposed, and the Yi officials were no longer suspicious and suspicious, and they deeply agreed with Ren Qiming's words.

Someone at the bottom asked, "Do you know how they can perform the art of resurrection in public?" ”

Cao Zuoling, who was on the ground and closed his eyes to recuperate, opened his eyes and said: "Yesterday, the conference was dispersed, and someone from Honghu Temple came to convey the request of the Dongying envoys, and they asked for a death convict and a dog. But what the young eunuch said is right, what does he bring back to life, psychic ghosts and gods, it will not be true, your eyes will be brighter, once you see something greasy, it is best to identify it on the spot, don't be afraid. ”

Hearing this, a group of people responded one after another

After the morning meeting, everyone went to prepare first, especially Jing Chen, who took the Yi Shi who predicted the rain and rain out first, but Yu Shu was stopped by Ren Qiming before going out.

"Lady Princess."

So after everyone left, only Yu Shu and Ren Qiming were left in the hall.

"What did the young eunuch call me?"

"I heard that someone died in Taishi Shuyuan yesterday, and you went to see it with Daozi?" Ren Qiming asked.

Yu Shu nodded hesitantly.

"Tell me carefully."

Yu Shu was not sure that Ren Qiming knew the hidden feelings of the Dao Da'an Misfortune and the life-breaker, so he had to pretend to be stupid and said: "The one who died was a female official of the Taicheng Division who was dismissed before, the young lady of the Jiangxi Fengshui Zhan family, it seems that people were strangled to death first and then thrown into the well, so I don't know who she offended before she was born, so she was so murderous." ”

"Do you throw yourself into the well after death" Ren Qiming muttered to himself, and asked her again: "Last night, the guard said that the arrester of Dali Temple came to ask Daozi to ask about the case, what is going on?" ”

Yu Shu then told him the clue that Jing Chen's missing academician signature was found by the well.

After Ren Qiming heard this, he frowned vigorously, and then said:

"There have been murders one after another in Taishi Shuyuan, and the deceased are more or less related to Daozi, this matter is by no means simple. You and Daozi are old acquaintances, as an official of the imperial court, it is better to be careful, according to the words of this official, before the murderer is caught, you should not go to the library. ”

Yu Shu's eyelids blinked slightly, looked up at Ren Qiming, and nodded slowly.

But in his heart, he can affirm that Ren Qiming is also an "insider". Otherwise, because the two of them have grievances first, and there is the pain of a broken finger before, why would Ren Qiming care about her well.

"Go down and get ready."

"The next official retired."

Yu Shu turned around, his eyes sank, Xue Rui's analysis last night was good, now the emperor cares about her life and death, because Jing Chen's fate is unsolved, but when Da'an Misfortune breaks her life, it doesn't matter whether she is dead or alive.

This can't be done, she has to take action, and she can't just count on Xue Rui to find a way out for her.

Walking out of the conference hall, Yu Shu looked up at the clear sky, his eyes narrowed slightly.

First, she lets them know that she's more than just a life-breaking humanoid prop.

***

In the blink of an eye, it was afternoon, and Si Tianjian led the Yi Shi brigade into the palace.

The Yi Shi who were not in the official did not know that there was already a strategy within the Heavenly Prison of the Daoist Division, but they were humiliated by an envoy of Fanbang yesterday and spent the night away. When I saw the Dongying envoys above the palace again, they all looked at each other coldly.

Several plates of brightly colored melons and fruits were placed on the imperial case, and at first glance they were all things that Fanbang had entered the palace.

Emperor Zhaoqing was playing with a yellow hard fruit in his hand, condescendingly, with a pair of slightly sunken eyes under his thick eyebrows, and a beard on his lips covering the corners of his mouth, so that people could not tell whether he was in a good or bad mood.

He said to the envoys of several countries:

"Originally, I was supposed to wait to see my thaumaturgy from Master Yi today, but with Dongying Onmyoji's technique of resurrecting the dead, I am embarrassed to let them get an axe."

Then he swept around the hall: "Presumably, like me, you want to see the miracle of resurrection." ”

Si Tianjian didn't squeak on his side. The civil and military officials are there. There is no one stupid flattery, everyone knows in their hearts, although the emperor wants to see the trick of resurrection, but he may not want to see Da'an Yishi being compared.

Yu Shu looked at the Dongying envoy with a braided braided head on the other side. Seeing him get up and bow:

"The foreign minister asked Mr. Abe to show His Majesty a unique way to resurrect the dead. Wait for His Majesty to witness the truth. I also ask you to promise that we will exchange two precious Onmyoji masters for that uninhabited island. ”

Emperor Zhaoqing smiled. "I'm true for what I say."

He put the hard fruit in his hand back on the plate and said, "I heard that you asked Honghu Temple yesterday to ask for death criminals and dogs and animals to use for spells, and I asked them to prepare." ”

After speaking, regardless of everyone's faces, they motioned for the eunuch to pass the word out, and in a short time, a guard came up carrying a wooden box and a cage.

In the cage was a dirt dog, with a gray and yellow hair that had been specially washed, and came to an unfamiliar environment, whining and whining uneasily, and whirling around in the cage.

As for the wooden box, it was impossible to see the inside, but from Emperor Zhaoqing's previous words, everyone could guess what was inside.

There was a whisper.

Fortunately, there are no half officials in the palace today, otherwise they would definitely jump out and accuse the emperor of such absurdity.

Several Wenchen frowned and shook their heads secretly, but seeing that Xue Yin and the two Xiangguo were sitting still, they didn't come out to advise them smartly.

This dead criminal was found from the Criminal Department, and Lord Li, the waiter of the Criminal Department, naturally wanted to come out and speak: "According to the request of the Yamada envoy, this is the prisoner who was hanged yesterday, and I personally arranged it, and others did not know about it. ”

Yu Shu looked at the middle-aged man who was talking, and remembered her new house on Baochang Street, not far from this Lord Li's mansion.

Jiro Yamada stepped forward uneasily, opened the box and checked, and the guards did not stop the emperor when he did not see the emperor speak.

When the box was opened, some people subconsciously didn't look over it and didn't look at it.

Jiro Yamada was very bold, not only with his eyes, but also reached out to touch the snort and heartbeat of the death criminal.

"Aoiko, come here." He called out to Abe Aoi in his seat in the Toei language.

Yu Shu saw the fair-skinned and delicate-looking Dongying young man leave the table and stepped forward, with a small face, looking down at the inside of the box, his pale eyes looked a little dull and sluggish.

Yu Shu stared at the young man, feeling that her face was unnatural, and there were still small patches of black green under her eyes, as if she hadn't rested for a few days.

Her every move, I can't say anything, there is a sense of disobedience.

When Abe Aoi confirmed the body of the dead criminal, Jiro Yamada announced to everyone: "Lord Abe told me that the soul of this guilty person has not left the world, so she will cast a spell to summon the soul and bring the dead back to life." ”

Such sensational words made everyone half-believe.

Abe Aoi probably didn't understand what others were saying, so through Jiro Yamada's translation, he asked the guards for a tool - a pair of scissors, cut off a strand of hair from the dead corpse in the box, took out the rune paper that had been drawn a long time ago from his arms, wrapped the strand of dry hair, and lit a white candle and placed it outside the cage where the earth dog was kept.

Then, she half-knelt in front of the cage, holding the paper bag in one hand, and reciting incantations that others could not understand, and her voice was soft.

The strange thing is that the earth dog in the cage slowly quieted down from the initial vigilance and anxiety, and at the end of the day, he saw him lying down obediently, his head hanging on his front paws, as if he was asleep, and he didn't bark at all.

Seeing this, many people unconsciously became nervous.

Abe Aoi wrapped the paper wrapped in the hair of the death row on the candle flame and lit it, burned a handful of ashes, put it in a saucer, bent down, and blew lightly on the earth dog in the cage-

"Whew."

The next moment, the earth dog that had fallen asleep just now stood up as if it had been stepped on by someone, "whoosh" up, turned its head in horror to look around, lowered its head and looked at the four dog legs, and suddenly let out a heart-rending scream-

"Whew!"

That hasty appearance is like a person who finds himself turned into a dog, and he is frightened alive.

East and west, silent.

"What's your name?" Dongying's young man's low voice and the Da'an official language she spoke were actually more standard than the envoys of several other countries, but because the object of her inquiry was a dog, people didn't have time to be surprised by this.

"Wow!"

"Don't be afraid, answer my questions."

"Wang, Wang"

One person and one dog were watched and "chatted" for a while.

Si Tianjian stared at dozens of eyes, and he didn't know how many people remembered to look for flaws.

"Emperor Kai Da'an," Abe Aoi, after communicating with the dog, did not translate through Jiro Yamada, but lowered his head and respectfully told Emperor Zhaoqing: "This sinner who came back from the dead, said that his surname was Sun Ming'er, and he used to be a servant in a large family, and he was sentenced to death because he killed the concubine that the master liked. ”

Emperor Zhaoqing turned his head expressionlessly and looked at the squire of the Criminal Department.

Master Li's face was weak at this time, and he was pulled by the hem of his clothes by the neighbor, and then his lips moved and said:

"Back to the saint, this prisoner is indeed called Sun Er, because he accidentally killed his master's aunt, he will be sentenced to hanging." (To be continued......)
