This kind of summer rain, as soon as it comes, is a torrential downpour, and within half an hour, everything around is almost a country. At this time, it was completely late, and in the three broken halls, there were fires, and everyone began to prepare dinner, naturally, the fragrance on Ye Chang's side was the strongest.

The strong fragrance reached the main hall, and the person who looked like a small official smiled flatteringly at the official: "County Cheng, it seems that there is a cook outside, why don't you call him to cook supper for County Cheng?" ”

"Nonsense." The officer glared at him.

Although the official's clothing was not of high grade, the official suddenly shook and stopped making a sound.

Hearing that the rain outside was gradually subduing, the face of the official known as "County Cheng" finally relaxed: it seemed that the rain would stop the next day, so that his trip would not be delayed. He was in a hurry to get back to Chang'an, and the more delays he made on the road, the more likely he was to make mistakes.

In the west hall, Ye Chang's variant version of the eight-treasure porridge was finally ripe.

Shi Shanzhi was wandering outside, a bowl was still carried, Ye Chang gave him half of the cooked porridge, and the two of them ate the bowl very sweetly.

"I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it, you can cook porridge like this, Eleven Lang, you must be the reincarnation of Tianchu Xing."

After licking the last grain of rice, Shi Shan's straightforwardness was still unfinished, and he said to Ye Chang with a smile, that look clearly had a bit of flattery in it.

"Since you think it's delicious, you should do something about it, go wash the dishes." Of course, Ye Chang will not let go of this opportunity, cooking in person is his favorite food, but in fact, he is still a lazy person.

The monk ran to wash the dishes, and when he saw his actions, Ye Chang regretted it a little, he was clumsy, should he not break his bowl. But let Ye Chang wash the dishes by himself, he was not happy, he didn't want to wash the dishes at home, this little girl's hands became rougher and rougher, as for whether the hands of the monk Shanzhi would be calloused, and he had nothing to do with a Kaiyuan Tongbao.

Just then, he heard a soft voice outside.

"Ye Langjun, can the slave come in?"

Ye Chang originally sat without a shape, but when he heard the voice, he straightened up a little: "Naturally, what's the matter, Aunt Gongsun wants to cook food below?" ”

"How dare you work Langjun again, although the slave is a willful character, the eldest mother will not be so ignorant." The beautiful woman entered, and her eyes looked unusually bright in the firelight. Looking at her by the river during the day, except for being a little bold and spicy, Ye Chang didn't have any deeper impressions. But at this moment, under the lamp, the shortcomings of her slightly darker skin have been made up, but a pair of autumn-like eyes, reflecting the firelight, are even more amorous.

In addition, just like the beauty of the Tang Dynasty at this time, her figure is slightly plump, and her neckline is lowered, which makes people want to send their eyes to the bottom.

The rain outside was already light, so she was not completely wet, but there were a few places where it was wet, and the clothes she was wearing were slightly wet and slightly transparent, and she could vaguely see the complexion inside, which was even more moving.

Ye Chang had seen all kinds of beauties, so his expression was still very calm, and he didn't get up, and arched his hand on the spot: "The lady is visiting in the rain at night, what is the matter?" ”

"No, I just think that Lang Jun's poems are extraordinary, which makes people's hearts break, so I came to chat with Lang Jun, which can be regarded as a relief from boredom on a rainy night." The young woman smiled slightly: "The slave husband's family name is Chen, and Lang Jun can call the slave Chen Niangzi." ”

Her voice is soft, there is no wind and fire in the daytime, and her bright eyes flow when she smiles, which is intoxicating. However, Ye Chang hadn't spoken yet, but Shi Shanzhi, who had gone out to wash the bowl, had already walked in: "Duh, you pink skeleton, don't go away quickly!" ”

One drink destroyed the ambiguous atmosphere that had just arisen in the broken house. Ye Chang looked at Monk Mang a little helplessly, he thought so in his heart, he shouldn't be so straightforward, the result would inevitably be a quarrel, and Mrs. Chen was afraid that she would turn around and leave in shame.

I must admit that Ye Chang is also looking forward to talking to a beautiful woman who looks good and talks generously.

In this era, there is too little entertainment, and an uninhibited character like Li Bai can only pull a group of friends to drink.

"If the monk is disrespectful, he should be the palm of his mouth!" Chen Niangzi glanced at Shi Shanzhi, but she was not angry: "If there is no pink skeleton, where is the monk?" ”

In her words, she regarded herself as a monk's mother, but this kind of twists and turns monks did not understand, and the monk just grinned and said: "There is a Buddha and there are naturally monks, but you are a lady who speaks well, not that timidly character, but the poor monk likes it." ”

If others say this, there must be a meaning of laughing at the young woman, but Shi Shanzhi said it very calmly, it was Mrs. Chen, her pink cheeks were slightly red and she gave the monk a fierce white eye, but she didn't hold on to him.

"Ye Langjun is less than twenty this year, right?" She asked Ye Changdao again.

"Wu Na lady, what are you doing here, could it be that you see that Ye Shizhu is young and talented, and she wants to marry him? It's a pity that it can't be done, you are old, Ye Shizhu ......"

"Okay monk, if you don't speak, no one will be dumb for you, this is Mrs. Chen." Ye Changdao.

"Oh, it turns out that she is already married, so she is a matchmaker for her sister, it is not easy, Ye Shizhu is reincarnated in the stars, and he is good at cooking, and he can also write poems - how can ordinary people marry! The difference is that he looks ugly, and if he is as strong as a poor monk, he will really be a lover in his dreams. ”

Ye Chang really had no way to take the talkative monk, he was full of nonsense and chatter, and Chen Niangzi was not annoyed, and talked to him with a smile without a word. The two of them talked a lot, but Ye Chang interjected less, and after a while, Mrs. Chen got up to say goodbye. When he left, he glanced at Ye Chang, and seemed to have a little regret.

"This mother-in-law can't be touched." After she left, Shi Shanzhi said suddenly.

"Huh?"

"Don't look at her as a girl, but three or five Ye Langjun, waiting for leisure is not her opponent." Shi Shan stroked his bald head: "The eldest lady next to her is even more powerful, even a monk, and she may not be able to please her in her hands." ”

Of course, Ye Chang knew that Aunt Gongsun of Lu Dao was very interested, although her "sword weapon" was just a dance, but she could dance this thrilling stunt, and there was no real kung fu that could hurt and kill people under her hands, which was strange.

But the monk only said that he might not be able to get a favor in her hands, which proved that the monk was quite confident in his own combat effectiveness.

"Don't worry, I won't provoke them, the purpose of my trip is to welcome back my brother's remains, how can I have time to provoke such a powerful woman." Ye Changdao.

The night was quiet, but the next morning, a scream shattered the silence. Ye Chang slept in this environment, he didn't sleep very deeply, and Shanzhi's reaction was even more alert, and he rushed to the courtyard with a ring knife.

The screams came from the main hall, and then the exclamations continued, and when Ye Chang and the others arrived at the door, they heard that the door was kicked open, and then, several soldiers rushed out with the escort of the official.

Then the gang of merchants and strangers also came out in panic.

Only the official who drove Ye Chang and the others to the west hall did not come out. Ye Chang frowned, it seemed that he was in trouble.

Sure enough, the official shouted: "No one is allowed to move, and no one is allowed to leave, and whoever moves is a murderer!" ”

The people who were already frightened and panicked were stunned for a moment.

The official reacted quickly, Ye Chang glanced at him, and just as he swept over with a cold and suspicious gaze, the two looked at each other, and the corners of the official's mouth bent downward.

Bent into two arcs, it seems that the person is quite mean and sharp. And his gaze is extremely unkind, with suspicion, anger, intimidation and a lot of negative emotions, Ye Chang rarely sees anyone whose gaze can contain negative emotions to such a complicated point.

With just this kind of gaze, Ye Chang judged that this official was by no means a good person!

The official stared deeply, and spat out another sentence between his thin lips: "You are not allowed to leave!" ”

These words were said to Ye Chang and Shi Shanzhi, Ye Chang knew that trouble was coming, and he couldn't help but sigh when he looked at the seven or eight soldiers beside the official.

"Don't move around!" The official drank again, then turned his hands behind his back and walked around the courtyard of the abandoned temple, and then turned his face again and stared coldly at Ye Chang and Shi Shanzhi.

Shanzhi touched his bare head, a little inexplicable.

"Catch this bald donkey, he's the murderer!" The official shouted.

Shanzhi was furious, and he was about to protrude with a horizontal knife in his hand, but he was held down by Ye Chang. Ye Chang believes that Shanzhi is not a murderer, but if he really resists, unless he kills all the people present, he will really become a wanted criminal in the imperial court!

Ye Chang didn't want to become a fellow party of a court prisoner for some reason, so he held down the monk, and then bowed: "This official, I don't know why I said that the monk is a murderer?" ”

"Last night, there was a torrential rain, which washed away all the footprints we had entered the temple, and then it was only a light rain, so there are still footprints on the ground after the rainstorm. After the rainstorm, there are only two rows of footprints, see for yourself. The official pointed to the ground: "See?" ”

Ye Chang looked to the ground when he heard this, and sure enough, he saw two rows of footprints connecting the main hall and the west hall, one row of toes facing the main hall, and the other row of toes facing the west hall - this is clearly someone going back and forth between the main hall and the west hall at night!

"My subordinate was cut off with a sharp blade, and the wound was smooth, proving that the man was of great strength and the blade was exceedingly sharp. This bald donkey is powerful, and at first sight he is a person who does not abide by the rules and precepts, and besides, the horizontal knife at his waist is well-made, which is made by a famous craftsman, and he can easily cut off a person's head. When the official said these words, there was no emotional fluctuation in his expression, but only in this way, his accusation was even more powerful!

"Nonsense, poor monks ...... overnight"

"Monk, quarrels don't solve the problem, listen to me first." Ye Chang stopped Shanzhi again.

The official's speculation is not completely unreasonable, but there are still several flaws.

"Official, why did the monk kill Gui Peng? Since the monk thought of killing people at night, why didn't he dispose of the footprints and leave such a flaw? Ye Chang raised his suspicions, and at this moment, he heard the voice on the east side of the chamber, and Aunt Gongsun and the lady Chen walked out. Ye Chang glanced at them, and then said, "What's more, if the monk killed someone last night and didn't leave overnight and stayed here for one night, wouldn't he put himself under suspicion?" ”

The corners of the official's mouth bent down again, and the nasolabial folds on the side of his mouth deepened because of this action, and the contempt and disdain came to his face with this action.

"What I, Giwen, say, is true." He said coldly: "As for the monk's intentions...... I'm sure he'll recruit him soon after I go to the yamen. ”

"Huh?" Ye Chang didn't expect that this Ji Wen would be so conceited that he would arrest Shi Shanzhi directly. The so-called show talent meets the soldiers, it is unreasonable, and the common people meet arrogant officials, it is even more unreasonable. He was stunned for a moment, and his mind turned quickly: "Ji Gong is worried about state affairs, and wants to find the real murderer quickly, this situation and this heart, a certain person also agrees, but if the monk is arrested like this, in case the real murderer is gone......"

"I said he was the real murderer, and he was the real murderer." Ji Wen rudely interrupted Ye Chang: "I look at you, you also seem to be an accomplice, you go with him!" ”

"Does Ji Gong really want to get a reputation for not distinguishing between right and wrong, and let the real murderer get away with it?" Ye Chang was also a little anxious at this time, he knew that in this era, he didn't have any strength to rely on, if he really left with this Jiwen, and when he arrived in the court, Sanmu Qishi would not be guilty, but he was afraid that he would also be guilty.

Ye Chang didn't pay enough attention to the details of history, and he didn't know that this Ji Wen was one of the best cool officials in the Xuanzong Dynasty, and he was a first-class figure in Lai Junchen and Zhou Xing. But he could sense that Gwen's was not good, and his brow furrowed.

He had to think of a way out in the shortest possible time, either to be able to find the real murderer, or to make the Jiwen in front of him dare not do it.

"Ridiculous!" Ji Wen smiled coldly: "It seems that you want to resist arrest - resist arrest, shoot and kill, on!" ”

At his urging, the soldiers around him drew their swords and were about to press forward.

Ye Chang's gaze turned on the ground again, the main evidence supporting Ji Wen's suspicion was the footprints on the ground, and Ye Chang was sure that the footprints on the ground were not his, and they could not be straightforward.

These are the footprints of two rows of men, and the footing is not light.

"Wait, these footprints are not right!"

"There's nothing wrong, even if there's anything wrong, you can go to the court and talk about it, and take down this thief and his comrades!"

With Ji Wen's loud shout, the soldiers hugged up, and Shanzhi also broke away from Ye Chang, and the horizontal knife in his waist came out of its sheath with a piercing sound.

Just as the two sides touched their hair, Aunt Gongsun over there suddenly spoke.

"The slave's surname is Gongsun, and everyone calls the slave Gongsun Auntie." She said slowly: "The slave and the left prime minister Li Gong have met, and they have also sacrificed their skills in front of His Majesty. Ji Gong, this monk is a warrior monk of Shaolin Temple, and with the several military masters brought by Ji Gong, I am afraid that he is not his opponent. ”

As soon as she said that she was Aunt Gongsun, Ji Wen's expression suddenly changed!
