Saying that Cao Cao Cao arrived, King Yu strode into the criminal department, saw Chai Baochen tied and twisted to the ground, looked up at Guo Cheng, and asked, "What's going on?" ”

Guo Cheng bowed down to say goodbye, and then replied: "Chai Baochen finally appeared, and the lower officials are afraid that he will run away." Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

"Let him go, he won't run." The king said, not angry and arrogant when he spoke.

"The subordinate obeys." Guo Cheng waved his hand at Bing Yong, and Bing Yong untied the rope on Chai Baochen's body.

Chai Baochen moved his wrist, stood up from the ground, and saluted to King Yu: "Your Highness will meet Your Highness." ”

King Yu pulled Chai Baochen and said, "What's going on on your head?" ”

Chai Baochen still had medicine on his head, and he hadn't had time to wash it off. He smiled bitterly and said, "It's been plotted." ”

"Come with me." King Yu walked in front, and Chai Baochen followed behind.

Guo Cheng, the secretary of the Criminal Department, looked at it with a blank eye, and a sound came out of his throat that even he couldn't hear.

The two of them went out of the palace and came to the palace of the king of Yu, and went into the study and sat down.

The king asked, "What's the matter?" Hurt so badly. ”

Chai Baochen replied: "Your Highness, let's not talk about me first, what I want to ask is whether there has been any progress in the case these days?" ”

"Yes, not much progress. Jinyiwei sent a person, it was Jinyiwei who went out of the city that day, but when he was discovered, he was no longer human. ”

"I know that." Chai Baochen said.

"How do you know?"

"I tracked down to Tanzhe Temple that day, but I was accidentally plotted. All this is most likely instigated by Ma Shun behind the scenes. ”

"Ma Shun? Is he the one behind the murder of Lord Yang? What is the evidence? ”

"I arrived at Tanzhe Temple that day, a middle-aged monk took me to the temple, and saw the Jinyi guard who was mutilated, I just wanted to ask to understand, he plotted, and was rescued by a righteous man after being seriously injured. In retrospect, it was a perilous time. And Jin Yiwei sent this person, obviously immortal, so the case could not be investigated. He wanted to kill two birds with one stone and solve me easily. ”

"If that's the case, it's troublesome. Ma Shun has won the trust of the imperial brother, and without evidence, we have no way to take him. Also, the Empress Dowager is very dissatisfied with your disappearance for so many days, so we must find out the real culprit. King Yu frowned and said.

"King Yu, I have been missing for so many days, I am really helpless, I will do my best. But now that all the clues are broken, I really don't know what to do. Chai Baochen was also very sad.

"In this way, since the direct murderer has been arrested, I can tell the Empress Dowager and close the case. As for the mastermind behind the scenes, we will only have to investigate it later. ”

"Well, that's all there is to it for now. Be more careful in the future. ”

"Yes, we must not let them make waves again!"

Chai Baochen came out of the palace of the king of Yu, his head was still painful, and he exuded a bad smell, he sniffed his body, it really stinks. I spent more than ten days in a cave, and now it's summer again, so I have to hurry home and take a shower. He hired a carriage in the street and drove home as fast as he could.

When he arrived at the door, he jumped down as if he was flying, knocked on the door vigorously, and shouted, "Open the door, open the door." He shouted several times, but no one in the room answered.

What's going on, someone is inside and closed the door, how can no one open it?

"Master, open the door! Lady, open the door! ”

Still no one opened the door! Could it be, burglary? Gangsters bolted the door? Thinking of this, Chai Baochen was in a hurry, jumped over the courtyard wall, and came to the courtyard. First of all, when I came to the gatehouse, the master was not there! The master is not here, could it be that some master came in and captured the master?

His heart jumped suddenly, he ran quickly across the courtyard, came to the main house, pushed open the door of the central hall, and then rolled on the spot, rolled to the wall, jumped up, stepped on a corner, turned around in the air with the help of the rebound, fell to the ground, supported his hands, rolled in the air, leaned against the wall, and tied up his horse. He took advantage of the movements of the rabbits just now to observe the room 360 degrees, and found that there were no robbers in the room!

He hurriedly pushed open Wei Su's door again, no one! came to Liu Wan'er's door again, knocked on the door, and shouted, "Wan'er, are you there?" No one answered, he hurriedly pushed the door open, but there was still no one. What the hell is going on, everyone in the family is here?

He sat down in his chair in a daze, picked up a cup of tea, hot! He calmed down, and when he saw it, there was a note pressed under the teacup: Master, I will go to the temple with Wei Su to offer incense and pray for Chai Baochen, if there is news over there. They came to the temple to find us. In vain.

Thankfully, everyone is okay, that's great. It seems that his own affairs affect the hearts of the family. Master should go out to find himself, and he has been in such a hidden cave these days, and he has suffered Master. Wei Su and Liu Wan'er seem to have gone to incense, that's good, don't worry about it for the time being.

Chai Baochen was tired, he went to the kitchen, boiled some hot water, went to the bathroom he built, and took a hot shower. While whistling, he rubbed the dirt on his body, and the more he washed, the more relaxed he felt, it was so beautiful, and every skin on his body was itchy. I can't help but wonder what I'm going to do after taking a shower. Have a meal, yes, a big meal tonight. And before that, you have to pick up the lady and Wan'er like a gentleman and surprise them. By the way, where to pick them up. The note only said that they went to the temple to pray for blessings, but which temple was it? It is certain that the bigger the temple, the more effective, and the largest and oldest temple near the capital should be Tanzhe Temple. Tanzhe Temple! Wait, Chai Baochen felt that something was wrong. Suddenly, without paying attention, he slipped to the ground and sat on the ground naked. Oh no, Tanzhe Temple, there won't be any danger in that place, right? My wife, my sister, I, I have to hurry over.

Wei Su and Liu Wan'er entered Tanzhe Temple early in the morning to offer incense, and donated a lot of sesame oil money. Originally, the two of them should not be able to show their heads on the street, but Yunlin has not come back in the past few days. Worried about death, they couldn't help but have the idea of going to the temple. Liu Wan'er wore Chai Baochen's clothes, tied up her hair, and pretended to be a man, she was originally tall, plus she had practiced martial arts, she was very handsome after wearing men's clothes, and people who didn't know would really think that it was her handsome son when they saw her.

There was something that Chai Baochen really guessed, they went out to inquire about the largest temple, and then hired a carriage and went to Tanzhe Temple. The journey was smooth, incense was put on, a wish was made, and it was not too early, and they were ready to go home. When I was going down the mountain, I suddenly saw a few children begging pathetically on the side of the mountain road.

Liu Wan'er was suddenly moved, thinking that Brother Baochen didn't know what was going on now, would he also beg in a foreign place, and now he might as well do more good deeds, which can be regarded as accumulating virtue. She grabbed Wei Su, walked over to the kneeling children, and reached into her sleeve to get the silver. Because it was a man's clothes, I couldn't get used to wearing them, so I didn't immediately touch the silver at first. He simply rolled up his cuffs, reached into his inner pocket, and took out a few pieces of broken silver, one for each of the boys. The child prostrates in thanksgiving.

However, most of these children are disabled, either with broken legs, dragging their legs, sitting on wooden boards, with a strap hanging around their necks, and walking with support; Either you are blind and can't see anything; There are also those who are missing an arm and a foot, and there is just one hand left to beg for money from others. Wei Su couldn't bear to look at it, and took out some coins and handed them to them. The children thanked each other in succession, and their heads slammed harder than the other. Wei Su hurriedly said: "Take this silver and go home, and let your parents make a small business with their capital." ”

And these children just made a "whine" sound from their mouths, unable to say anything, and still kowtowing vigorously. Liu Wan'er was shocked, could these children be drugged dumb? Otherwise, why would they not be able to speak? Then their disabilities are also ...... Thinking of this, she was even more worried, squatted down, held a child's hand, and asked, "Can you hear me?" ”

The boy was only seven or eight years old, dirty, and he nodded with his eyes open.

"Why are you begging here? Are your parents unable to support you? Liu Wan'er asked.

As soon as the child's mouth was flattened, tears came out in a hurry, and he pointed to his mouth with the only remaining finger, which turned out to be sewn up by fishing line, leaving only a small mouth to eat, and the lips were suppurated.

Liu Wan'er clenched her pink fist, it was so hateful, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, the capital of the first goodness, there would be such a thing of mutilating children! Just when she was filled with righteous indignation, a middle-aged man noticed her.

The middle-aged man was leaning against the tree in the shade not far away, and he looked at the group of begging children from time to time. When Liu Wan'er and Wei Su gave alms, he saw that this couple was really generous, and even used broken silver as a reward. Although this is the largest temple on the outskirts of the capital, there are many big families who come here to offer incense, but there are really not many who are generous. Most people turn a blind eye to these children.

The middle-aged man noticed Liu Wan'er, a handsome son, and he summoned his pickpockets to follow Liu Wan'er and wait for the opportunity to steal. Suddenly, I saw Liu Wan'er roll up her sleeves, revealing white skin and snow-like wrists, and immediately guessed that this son was likely to be a girl, and there was a beautiful young woman beside her. Looking around, they didn't see any other followers around them. The middle-aged man suddenly became ill-hearted. Such a little lady was sold to "Listening to the Rain Building", at least two hundred taels of silver! Two is four hundred taels, which is enough money to spend and squander for a long time. Nowadays, how can you let go of the fat that is delivered to your mouth! Thinking of this, he spoke to a few strong men around him for a while, and with a wave of his hand, the strong men surrounded Liu Wan'er and Wei Su.
