"My lord, I found this thing on two people."

A brocade guard walked in and handed Rukawa Kaede a jade pendant engraved with a rose pattern.

"Could it be that this is ......"

Rukawa Kaede said unconvinced, but before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by the excited Ganlin.

"Your Excellency is right, this is it."

Number One suddenly opened his eyes, his heart was extremely excited and impulsive, but years of experience had taught him to control his emotions and stay sane, so he was still expressionless, just staring at the one-inch square rose jade pendant.

"Hey, great monk, you also know this?" Rukawa Kaede keenly caught a trace of his mood fluctuations, and asked coldly.

"Oh, ah, I don't know, I just look weird and beautiful, I can't help but look at it twice, Amitabha, sin and sin." While explaining, No. 1 closed his eyes again and calmed down, making Rukawa Kaede a little unable to see through.

"Let's go and ask those two." Seeing that there was no information available here, Rukawa Kaede changed his mind and said.

In the main hall, the grandfather and grandson knelt on the ground tremblingly, kowtowing and begging for mercy, but the brocade guards standing in front of them were like those mud-born Buddha statues, ignoring them.

Until Rukawa Kaede returned again, he sat on a stool and said to the two, "Get up and speak." ”

"Don't dare, villain don't dare, beg the adults to spare their lives." The old man said in fear, this tall young man like a demon god put no less pressure on him than the man in black that day.

"If you are a good person and have not done a big bad thing that hurts nature and reason, why should I want your life? Why don't you dare to stand and speak? A man has gold under his knees, and he kneels to the heavens and the earth to his parents, how can he kneel to others casually? ”

"Yes, we're good people, we haven't done anything bad."

"Then why don't you dare to stand up, do you have a ghost in your heart?"

"I didn't ...... No, let's get up, don't kill me. ”

After some educational criticism, Rukawa Kaede also saw the faces and dresses of these two people, and knew that they were definitely not rich people, nor masters who knew martial arts, nor were they big names, but they couldn't figure out how this rose jade pendant, which represented the peak of power in the previous dynasty, could be on them?

"Tell me, where did you get this jade pendant?"

"Yes...... It's ......"

"What is it? Say it! A thousand households saw him stumbling for a long time, and couldn't help but threaten him, he knew that he had to use strong means to deal with these people.

"I picked it up." The second dog finally spoke up at this time.

"Where did you pick it up?"

"Picked it up in the graveyard ahead." The second dog replied with a blushing face.

Rukawa Kaede smiled, of course he saw this young man's lie, and said lightly: "Why don't I believe it?" Do you know what it is and what it means? ”

"Isn't this just a good-looking jade pendant, it should be able to exchange it for a few hundred taels of silver."

The old man replied that this time he was telling the truth, he really didn't know the details, these were just what the man in black taught them.

"If you really take it out and sell it, then what awaits you is shackles and shackles, and beheading!" Rukawa Kaede put away his smile and shouted sternly.

"Ahh It's so serious, my lord spares my life, we really don't know, we handed it over to the imperial court. The old man was so frightened again that he knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

"If you don't tell the truth, do you really have to suffer a lot to tell the truth?" Rukawa Kaede coldly threatened.

"Yes, yes, don't hit us, I say, I say." The old man replied.

"Say it quickly, if I find out that you dare to tell lies, a big board will be indispensable for you!"

"This thing was given to me by a big man three months ago, and he said that he would wait until about this time to send this thing to the Ocean Palace, Chang'an, and hand it over to the prince."

"What?!" Rukawa Kaede was shocked and angry, but he still couldn't believe this fact.

"What do you think that big guy looks like? Are you sure he asked you to send this east to the Ocean Palace? Rukawa Kaede asked seriously again.

"He looks quite like you, an adult, but he is a little older, about forty years old, he really said that, I don't dare to deceive adults!" The old man spoke earnestly.

At this time, the ground suddenly shook, but Rukawa Kaede didn't pay attention, he was already very annoyed by this incident.

Murong Feng, who was in the basement, heard the conversation above, and was so angry that he slapped his palm on the wall, causing the pain of internal injuries again.

"Damn, I didn't expect it to be done by that beast with a human face and a beast's heart in the ocean of Liuchuan Yuanyang! I'm going to kill him, kill his son Rukawa Kaede! ”

"Childe, we don't have definite evidence yet, what's more, didn't He Shangshu say that this thing must have been done by the emperor, he shouldn't lie to us, I'm afraid this matter is quite complicated, let's wait a little longer, see if the situation is decided, besides, Liuchuan Feng has a large number of guards around him now, and we can't kill him." Hu Lai came over and said.

"Humph! I don't care, find an opportunity tonight, if you don't want to go, I'll arrange for someone else to do it, you don't care. Murong Feng replied coldly.

"Alas......"

Presiding room.

No. 1 set aside a wisp of his mind to listen to the conversation in the hall next door, and heard the old man chewing his tongue indiscriminately, angry and angry, but he calmed down, and after thinking about it, he found that this old man may have intentionally tried to mislead Rukawa Kaede and let him stop pursuing it, otherwise he would not be able to get along with his father.

Of course, he wouldn't be kind enough to remind him, he wanted to kill him now, kill all the thieves surnamed Liuchuan! If the father and son had a conflict over this, he would applaud with joy.

On the ground, in the main hall.

"No, it can't be! Daddy would never be like that! How could he kill an innocent little girl? No, why did he arrange it that way? If he really did it, isn't he asking for trouble? Why make it so complicated, this must be a frame-up! Rukawa Kaede muttered to himself, unable to calm down for a long time.

No one bothered him, even Gan Lin remained silent, she knew that he needed time to calm down now, after all, this person's evidence and physical evidence were all there, although she didn't want to believe that bold man would do such a thing, but Princess Yaoyao was also her benefactor, and she was closer than her relatives! She won't sit idly by.

"Where did he meet you?" Rukawa Kaede asked again.

"Right here, Gutuo Temple."

"What was the situation? Why are you here? Why did he deliberately hand over the jade pendant to you, and then ask you to go to Chang'an and send it back to him in three months? Rukawa Kaede asked a series of questions.

"It was a dark night, it was very chaotic, there was a war everywhere, corpses were everywhere, and there was a river of blood! I was going to visit relatives in the county seat, but suddenly I heard these noises and came over to take a look. He also seemed to be injured and bleeding, he said, the situation was urgent, and he was not sure not to reveal the secret of the jade pendant at that time, so he handed it over to me to take care of, and asked me to wait for the situation to stabilize before handing it over to him, and he also promised to give me two thousand taels of silver when the time came. ”

The old man replied earnestly word by word, like an endorsement, of course, these were all taught to him by the man in black.

However, hearing that now, Rukawa Kaede's expression has regained his calm, and he is already more than ninety percent sure that this old man is lying!

He knew his father, first of all, his upright personality was not like a person who would do such a thing; Secondly, although he was bold and generous, he didn't have much money because of this, so where would he give him two thousand taels of silver at once? Third, how could this illiterate old man suddenly understand these idioms? He also spoke so accurately and fluently, it was almost like memorizing a text, wouldn't he be nervous in this situation? Perhaps someone taught him to say this; Besides, why did he come here to pray for something by such a coincidence, when I came, and there were no normal people coming to this broken temple? Finally, you, an old man, passed by the "ghost town" in the middle of the night to visit relatives? Are your relatives ghosts?

"You have a pretty good memory, and you don't want to be so small on the surface, but I underestimate you." Rukawa Kaede smiled.

However, his fluttering words frightened the old man, he completely followed the words of the man in black, but he didn't expect to be recognized by this young man, but he was an old man, he still stabilized his mind, and didn't answer, he thought that as long as he bit to death and didn't let go, it wouldn't be a big problem, anyway, you have no evidence to prove that what I said was false.

"Did someone specifically tell you to do this?" Rukawa Kaede asked again, he was also lying to him, because he was not sure, maybe this old man had some secrets?

"No, I promised him that if someone pressed him, he would not say that he had threatened and induced us to do so."

The old man didn't speak, but the two dogs on the side were already frightened and did something that there was no silver for three hundred taels here.

"Who is he?"

"A man in black with a masked face, the kind that can fly."

"Covered face? Looks like this guy is someone I know. Rukawa Kaede said.

This big fool. Everyone laughed in their hearts, and some people laughed out loud, but fortunately, Liuchuan Feng's power was too strong, so they kept calm, and Gan Lin was also relieved, she glanced at Liuchuan Fengfeng with some apologies, and found that he didn't seem to know that he had questioned his father just now.

The old man was so angry that he didn't faint, he wanted to go over and kill this big fool, but was stopped by the brocade guards on the side.

"Lock them up first, stay here for another day today, and see how it goes."

After disposing of these two guys for a while, Rukawa Kaede made a decision, he ordered his subordinates to go around and investigate inside and outside the temple carefully, but there was still no progress, and the time came again into the night.

p s: I wish you all a happy Mid-Autumn Festival on the National Day, Mo Da, love you...
