Chapter 22: A Thunderbolt Strikes on a Sunny Day

Whoever keeps his word will be willing to gamble and lose.

The real murderer was brought to justice, and Chen Chen had to admit defeat.

Cuiying was acquitted, and Dalin was imprisoned.

It wasn't until Cha Yiqing revealed her identity that Chen Chen was truly convinced.

The county jail was dark and damp.

In the huge prison, the lights were dim.

A faint light shone into the cell, on a man's face.

The man was disheveled and haggard.

His hands were firmly tied with hemp rope, and the whole person was hanging.

An expressionless face is already the same as Da Lin when he pretended to be sick.

"Thief! Are you recruiting or not! ”

The jailer glared at Dalin and slapped him hard.

Blood oozed from the corners of Dalin's mouth, but he still sneered proudly.

"Haha, you want me to confess? Wish for the moon! ”

The jailer snorted coldly, raised the soldering iron, and shook it in front of Dalin's eyes.

The soldering iron had been burned red, and it was constantly sizzling.

"Humph! I'd like to see if it's my soldering iron or your mouth is hard! ”

The jailer smiled as he spoke, and jerked up the reddened iron.

Dalin ignored the soldering iron and still sneered.

"Hahaha, even if you beat Lao Tzu to death, you don't want me to confess!"

The jailer's soldering iron was already on his chest, ready to fall at any moment.

"Stop!"

Suddenly, there was a loud shout, and the soldering iron in the jailer's hand stopped in mid-air.

The jailer who was as fierce as a wolf just now is as docile as a sheep at the moment, just because he can't afford to provoke someone, and he can't even afford to provoke the county order.

Xiao ...... Lord Xiao, this thief's mouth is too hard......"

"Well, I know."

Cha Yiqing waved her hand at the jailer as she spoke, and the jailer retreated in a playful manner.

When Dalin saw Cha Yiqing, he became more and more arrogant, and sneered a few times.

"Haha, Xiao Yan! Lao Tzu just doesn't recruit, why can't you bear me! ”

"Da Lin, how much benefit did your master give you, and you actually repaid you with death?"

"You don't care about this, I won't betray my master anyway!"

"Would you rather die than confess?"

"Haha, I am the only boss in my life, and I have no regrets!"

"Who the hell is your boss!"

"You really want to know? Then bring your ears closer. ”

Cha Yiqing shook her head with a smile and looked at him with some sarcasm.

"Are you a fool for me? I don't want to miss an ear! ”

"Hahaha, ears? One ear is nothing! I'm going to crush you to pieces! ”

"There are many people who want to crush me to pieces, but their bones are piled up like a mountain!"

At this moment, footsteps suddenly sounded in the prison.

The voice is made by a person, a master of light skills.

Cha Yiqing heard the footsteps, and her face softened.

"Xiao Jiu, why are you here?"

"Brother Cha, hasn't this thief confessed yet?"

"Yes, his mouth is hard and tight!"

Feng Jiutian laughed when he heard this, and laughed very happily.

Dalin had no fear of all kinds of torture tools, but his body trembled slightly at this moment.

The most terrifying thing in the world is never the open gun, but the unknown hidden arrow.

Three days, very short and long.

For those who haven't made a drop of water, it's definitely a limit.

At this moment, Dalin was obviously thin, and there was no life in his eyes.

People are iron and steel, and no matter how strong a person is, it is unbearable.

But what made him most unbearable was the strong smell wafting from outside the cell door.

This aroma is not medicine, not flowers, and not fat powder.

It's a scent that shouldn't belong here – meat!

"Goo, goo, goo......"

At some point, a pot for cooking meat was erected outside the cell.

At this moment, the aroma is constantly emerging from the pot.

This fragrance will be coveted even by those with a full stomach, let alone those who are dying of hunger?

"Oh, the meat is really delicious!"

Feng Jiutian smiled and lifted the lid of the pot and sniffed the fragrance vigorously.

He looked very happy, like a good chef.

He put a large piece of meat in a bowl, scooped up some soup, and slowly walked to Da Lin.

But he was not in a hurry to speak, but stared at the piece of meat like a starving ghost.

He slowly picked up a small piece with chopsticks, put it in his mouth and chewed it slowly.

Feng Jiutian's actions made Da Lin go crazy, and his spirit almost collapsed.

It has always been the bottom of the attack, and the heart is the top.

Is there a better way to deal with the hungry?

"Feng Jiutian! You shameless! ”

Da Lin roared angrily, his heart seemed to burst, if he hadn't been locked up in prison and starved for three days, he would have to fight with Feng Jiutian at this time.

Feng Jiutian was not annoyed, he only smiled at him, and his voice was very kind.

"Da Lin, are you hungry, do you want to eat some too?"

"I ...... I...... I ......"

Dalin was so hungry that his eyes rolled upwards and he almost fainted.

"Alas, why do you want to let yourself suffer for the sake of the boss?"

"You scoundrel, you want me to betray the boss? Except...... Unless ......"

Anyone thought he was going to say something big, but it turned out to be unexpected.

He said five words word by word - give me a piece of meat!

Feng Jiutian smiled, laughing very happily.

"Haha, that's right, those who know the times are masters"

He felt a sense of accomplishment at the moment, and his heart was extremely satisfied.

Even Cha Yiqing couldn't make him speak, but he did.

"Hahaha, how good it should have been for you to do this earlier, why should you suffer?"

Feng Jiutian said as he handed him the bowl and scooped him another spoonful of broth.

Dalin took the bowl and ate it quickly, even drinking the soup cleanly.

"Alright, the meat has been eaten, it's time to answer the question."

"You...... You ask. ”

"First of all, what's your name?"

"It doesn't matter what my name is."

"And who's your boss?"

"I don't know."

"Don't know? Are you going to go back on your word? ”

"I really don't know."

"Then do you know what the weeping blood plum represents?"

"Weeping blood plum represents the reverse scale, and it also represents death."

"Reverse scales? Is it the name of an organization? ”

"Yes, a killer organization, a mysterious killer organization!"

"Who are the people in the organization?"

"There is the boss above, and there are four evils below, and each of the four evils is in charge of 100 people."

"Four evils? What are their names? ”

The four mysterious black-clothed people appeared in Feng Jiutian's mind, and the martial arts of these four people were only a handful, and they must be the so-called four evils.

"Shura, leaving worries, breaking dreams, breaking souls."

"What are their real names?"

"If you are in the scales, you are no longer human, so why bother with your name?"

"Who were they before they joined the Scales?"

"It's the four kings of the Nine Ghost Realm, and I'm the Broken Soul."

"Nine ghost realms? Four kings? Don't you ......?"

"Yes, the Nine Ghost Realms did not die, but turned into reverse scales."

"Ah Nose is ......"

"Yes, it was taken away by our boss."

"He also set aside Liao Chusheng and took you away in advance?"

"That's right, otherwise you think you'll be alive today?"

Feng Jiutian's whole body shook when he heard this, and a thunderclap sounded in his head.

He was stunned for a moment, and he was a little overwhelmed.

Suddenly, a voice came from behind him, extremely familiar, Feng Jiutian didn't look back, and knew that it was Cha Yiqing and Jasmine who came.

"Xiao Jiu, did he speak?"

"He ......"

Feng Jiutian was about to answer, but was interrupted by the sound of a broken porcelain bowl.

He looked and saw that Dalin had broken the porcelain bowl and picked up a fragment.

"What are you going to do! Put it down! ”

Feng Jiutian shouted to open the prison door, but it was too late after all.

Dalin actually used a broken porcelain piece to cut his throat.

Seeing this, Feng Jiutian looked puzzled and depressed.

He looked at the two of them with some displeasure, and his tone was a little unhappy.

"Brother Cha, if you come a little later, everything will fall into place!"

"Alas, why did he commit suicide when he saw me, this is really ......"

Cha Yiqing's face was not very good-looking, and there was a faint confusion in her self-blame.

"Feng Shaoxia, we can't blame Xiao Lang for this, how do we know ......?"

"It doesn't matter who blames you anymore, the key is what to do next?"

"What did he just say?"

"I was talking about the killer organization, but you interrupted me."

Feng Jiutian was very displeased, but Jasmine looked at Cha Yiqing in contemplation.

"Xiao Lang, he was tortured, and he couldn't tell a lie......"

Hearing this, Cha Yiqing bowed slightly, and then fell into deeper thought......

One month later, Jinling.

At this moment, it is still a fiery summer day, but the whole country is miserable.

Because the Empress of the Southern Tang Dynasty passed away, she bid farewell to the chaotic world forever.

Emperor Li Yu's already weak body has become more and more weak.

The whole country mourned, the prince was funeral, and the courtiers wept.

The long-awaited Obon Festival also came to an abrupt end with the departure of the queen.

Cha Yiqing, who was far away in Luling, also rushed back to Jinling to mourn.

Cha Yiqing has always regarded the queen as her mother and has deep feelings.

Not being able to see the last side of the queen mother is a regret in Cha Yiqing's life.

At this moment, he shed tears on the queen's mausoleum, he was in pain, but the mission could not stay for a long time, he finished worshipping, and went out of the cemetery.

Feng Jiutian hurried over, his tone was rare and soft.

"Brother Tea, the deceased is gone, don't mourn."

"Xiao Jiu, don't worry. I...... cough cough cough ......"

Cha Yiqing suddenly coughed while speaking, and spit out a few mouthfuls of blood.

Jasmine hurriedly supported him and called for him with great worry.

"Xiao Lang, your mood must not fluctuate too much, otherwise you will ......"

"It doesn't matter! For the sake of my father-in-law and master, why should I be afraid of death? ”

"You're so selfish!"

"Am I selfish?"

"Yes, have you thought about Feng Shaoxia and me?"

"You ......"

Feng Jiutian looked at Jasmine and opened his mouth categorically.

"That's right, if you die, I don't want to live!"

Cha Yiqing's eyes were red when she heard this, but she didn't say a word, but looked to the south, to Tianyou Temple not far away.

Tianyou Temple, magnificent**.

The hall that has just been completed is even more magnificent.

Three days later, Li Yu was going to come here, and his defense was naturally very thorough.

"Three, Tianyou Temple is a royal temple, please do not visit!"

As soon as the three of Cha Yiqing arrived at the temple gate, they were stopped by the guards at the door.

"This official is Xiao Yan, and he will inspect as usual, please make it convenient."

"Are you Detective Xiao? Also the King of Luling? ”

"That's right, it's this official!"

"Later, the villain will go to report to the commander!"

The guards became very polite when they heard this, and then walked quickly into the temple.

The three of them waited for a short time, and someone greeted them.

The person who came was a general, wearing heavy armor and majestic.

Feng Jiutian has been in the palace for three years, and although he has no deep friendship with him, it is also common.

"The last general has seen King Luling and Feng Shaoxia!"

When the commander saw Cha Yiqing and Feng Jiutian, he hurriedly stepped forward to give a salute.

"Commander Zhao doesn't need to be polite, hurry up."

"Thank you, Lord Xiao, it's just that you are here to ......"

"Although I am only a righteous son, I should also share the worries of Your Majesty."

"Worry? Why is Your Majesty worried? ”

"Although there is no need to worry about it for the time being, it is difficult to guarantee that it will never be worry-free."

"Lord Xiao, don't you believe the last general Zhao Yuan?"

"No, Commander Zhao is righteous and his father believes it, how dare I question it?"

"Question it or not, if you want to enter the temple, you need to come up with a holy decree."

"This official came in a hurry, and he did not ask for the holy decree, but also asked for one or two."

"The last general is not unkind, but the stakes are very high, Lord Xiao, please go back!"

"My father-in-law will be here in three days, but I'm afraid of ......"

Zhao Zhen didn't wait for Cha Yiqing to finish speaking, bowed to the three of them, and made a gesture of please.

Feng Jiutian was a little displeased, but Cha Yiqing had already smiled and walked towards the mansion.

Late at night, Xiao Mansion.

Feng Jiutian lay on the big stone by the lotus pond and drank sullen wine alone.

He is not a courtier of the Southern Tang Dynasty, so he can naturally drink, although wine cannot solve his troubles, but he can forget it for a while.

He really didn't know how to face his uncle, whether to take revenge or forgive.

Of course, he didn't know if his uncle would think of parenting and spare himself.

If that day's dream becomes a reality, what will I do?

Wine is not drunk, everyone is drunk.

Feng Jiutian was drunk at the moment, drunk.

He looked at the Flowing Cloud Sword, smiled, and shed tears.

Laughter and tears should not have appeared at the same time, but they did.

I am afraid that very few people in the world can understand this kind of mood, and few are as few as stars.

And those who understand must be equally pitiful, and they are also the heartbreakers of the world.

"Uncle, is it true that only one of us can live?"

Feng Jiutian's expression was extremely bitter, and his smile was very sarcastic.

Once like father and son, dependent on each other, but now you want to live and die, is there anything more sad and hurtful in the world than this?

Feng Jiutian held on to the stone and wanted to stand up.

But he drank so much that he could no longer exert his strength, and he staggered and fell into the pool.

He is not water-sensitive, which is undoubtedly one of the biggest weaknesses of his life.

Even though he can still talk and laugh in the face of thousands of masters, he has become extremely flustered at this moment.

"Tea ...... Tea brother, save ...... Help ......"

Feng Jiutian kept fluttering with his hands, and poured a lot of water into his mouth.

He had never shouted for help in his life, but he was shouting hard.

The pond water is like a case, and there is a hidden murder in the ordinary, which makes people powerless to extricate themselves.

There are only two paths in this case, and there is no choice.

One uses external forces to jump out of the abyss and look down on all beings.

The other is to fend for itself, sink into it, and die without a place to bury!

Feng Jiutian's life has always been good.

So he waited for the first one.

Cha Yiqing really heard his shout and rushed over.

"Xiao Jiu, don't panic! Give it to me! ”

Cha Yiqing shouted loudly and stretched out her hand towards Feng Jiutian.

A drowning person can not be said to be a strong hand, even a straw can save a life.

Feng Jiutian also stretched out his hand and grabbed his wrist tightly.

Cha Yiqing pulled him up and looked at him worriedly.

"Xiao Jiu, how do you feel? Does it matter? ”

Cha Yiqing said and slapped him on the back, until he spit out a few mouthfuls.

"Tea ...... Brother Tea, if you come a little later, I'll ......"

"I know, you don't want to drink like this in the future."

"Alas, but my uncle ......"

"I'm an outsider and still believe in Senior Feng, do you doubt him?"

"But Dalin's words, how can I not believe them?"

"If his words are to be believed, why kill himself?"

"This ...... I do not know. ”

"Maybe he's lying, deliberately deceiving you, but he's afraid I'll hear it."

"It's a possibility, but why didn't he say it in the first place?"

"If he had said it at the beginning, would you still believe it?"

Although Cha Yiqing's words were extremely positive, there was a faint worry on her face.

He knew he wasn't telling a lie, but it wasn't necessarily the truth.

Things in the world are not true or false, and how much more do people always seek self-comfort?

The next day, the sky was white.

Cha Yiqing stood under the corridor with her hands in her hands, looking into the distance.

He had stayed up all night, and his cheeks were getting thinner.

The queen's death hit him hard, and a few strands of white hair grew on his forehead.

His parents died when he was a child, and he didn't feel motherly love until he met the queen. But he worked outside the country all the year round, and the time he spent with the queen was very short.

He didn't care about this, he always felt that the future was long. Until the bad news came, he didn't even see the last side of the queen.

The tree wants to be quiet but the wind does not stop, the child wants to raise but does not wait, how much bitterness and helplessness are there......

He thought about his thoughts and inadvertently walked towards the lotus pond.

It was still early in the morning, and there were very few people walking around the courtyard.

On weekdays, there is no one here at this time, but today is an exception.

Before he could get near the edge of the pool, he saw a beautiful woman in the distance, who was bent over, as if she was carefully looking for something.

"Lil, why did you wake up so early today?"

Jasmine was suddenly stopped by him, and her whole body trembled slightly subconsciously, and then she slowly straightened up and smiled at Cha Yiqing.

"Haha, yes...... It's Xiao Lang, you scared me. ”

"What are you doing, so focused?"

"Nothing, just found something strange."

As she spoke, she picked up a pinch of black powder on the ground and handed it to Cha Yiqing.

Cha Yiqing took the powder, put it under her nose and sniffed it, her face changed abruptly.

"It's ...... This is**! But why is there a ** here? ”

"What! Xiao Lang, what did you say? ”

"Ancestor Chen is proficient in the way of alchemy, but you don't know **?"

"It's not that I don't know, it's just that I'm a little puzzled."

"yes, I'm thinking, too, there's something strange ...... this."

Cha Yiqing stared at a pinch of ** in her palm in a daze, not knowing what she thought.

Seeing that he was silent for a long time, Jasmine didn't dare to disturb, so she had to leave temporarily.

After a while, Cha Yiqing came back to her senses.

He looked around carefully and found that ** was mainly scattered around the rockery.

There are many holes in the upper part of the rockery, and Cha Yiqing stepped on his feet to look in.

Even if there are many holes in ordinary rockery, it will never be completely hollow, and these stones are not only hollow, but also have a residual taste.

Cha Yiqing was shocked in his heart, he seemed to suddenly understand something.

He was about to check again to see if there were any more clues, when there was a very light footstep behind him.

"Brother Cha, have you seen my sword?"

Feng Jiutian's voice interrupted Cha Yiqing's thoughts.

Cha Yiqing slowly turned around and shook her head gently at him.

"I don't know, isn't it in your room?"

"No, I did."

"Wouldn't that ......?"

Cha Yiqing was still trying to help him remember, but Feng Jiutian suddenly interrupted him.

"I remember, I must have fallen into the pond last night!"

"Fell into the lotus pond?"

"Yes, you can send someone to help me get the sword out!"

"Okay, I'll send someone!"

Cha Yiqing called the old housekeeper and asked him to find Ah Yan, who has the best water in the house.

The old butler was a calm man, but his face was very flustered at the moment.

"My lord, Ah Yan...... It seems that something has happened. ”

"What's wrong?"

"Ah Yan is gone, he disappeared two months ago."

"Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"You haven't been idle since you came back from Fujian, who dares to disturb you?"

"Alas, I am so focused on state affairs that I neglect family affairs."

Cha Yiqing let out a long sigh, and then looked at the old butler suspiciously.

"Where did he say he was going before he disappeared?"

"If so, is it still missing?"

"Did he behave in any unusual ways or actions?"

"There is only one, I don't know if it counts."

"What?"

"He often goes to the lotus pond to watch the pond repairers work, but he is always scolded by those people."

"Scolded? Why was he reprimanded? ”

"They were sent by the emperor, and they have always had no one in their eyes."

"Who did the father-in-law send to oversee the work?"

"It's the subordinate of Zhao Zhen, the commander of the forbidden army!"

"What time do they start each day?"

"At first, it was from the time of the hour to the time of unitary, and then it was changed to the time of ugliness, and finally it was changed back to the original time."

"It's so illogical unless ......"

"Do you think there's something hidden in it?"

"That's right, it's not easy!"

Cha Yiqing looked in the direction of the lotus pond and waved her hand at the old housekeeper.

The old butler nodded immediately, and hurried down to order.

"Brother Cha, what do you think is wrong here?"

Feng Jiutian looked at Cha Yiqing puzzled, and his tone was confused.

Cha Yiqing did not answer, but let a few employees in the house go down to the lotus pond.

"My lord, what are you looking for when you let us go down to the lotus pond?"

"A sword, a precious sword."

Although everyone did not understand the reason, they all acted according to their words.

Most of the people in the south of the Yangtze River are very water-based.

Don't say that it is a lotus pond that is one person high, even if you cross the river, it is like walking on dry land.

One moment they dive to the bottom of the pool, the other they put their heads out of the water.

Soon someone stood up in the water and raised their hands high.

"My lord, this is the sword you are talking about, right?"

In the hand of the servant, he held up a sword engraved with white embossed moire.

When Feng Jiutian saw the sword, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and stretched out his hand to take it.

Ali smiled and opened his mouth with some complaints.

"My lord, how could the cultivators sent by His Majesty cut corners like this?"

"Cutting corners?"

Feng Jiutian was stunned when he heard this, and repeated very curiously.

"Yes, this lotus pond has only been repaired for two months, and the wall of the pond has sunken inward!"

"Ah Yan and the workers had a quarrel, the people suddenly disappeared, and the pool wall was sunken inward......"

Cha Yiqing suddenly felt that things were not so simple, even more complicated than she imagined, so she waved her hand into the water.

Everyone present was even more puzzled when they saw this, and they all looked at him with wide eyes.

The old butler really couldn't understand his actions, and opened his mouth very curiously.

"My lord, didn't you just say you were looking for a sword?"

"That's right."

"The sword has been found, what else are you asking us to find?"

"Dig up the depression and find Ah Yan's body."

"Do you think Ah Yan ......?"

"Ah Yan must be dead, and it's the hands of this gang!"

Cha Yiqing's words were categorical, and the old housekeeper was completely stunned.

If someone else says this, it will be regarded as a big joke.

But it was Cha Yiqing who spoke out at this moment, and it became undoubted.

Everyone's faces changed, as if there was a water ghost hiding in the lotus pond.

Feng Jiutian looked at Cha Yiqing's face, and stopped talking.

Cha Yiqing's eyes are like torches, and she can always capture the subtle changes in everyone's expressions.

"Xiao Jiu, what do you want to say?"

Feng Jiutian shook his head, and only after a long time did he speak word by word.

"Brother Cha, I have an ominous premonition, which is getting stronger and stronger."

Cha Yiqing didn't smile, but nodded thoughtfully.

Although his expression was still calm, he could not hide the worry in his eyes......

"My lord, do you want to dig it up?"

Ah Li was very curious, and asked Cha Yiqing loudly for instructions.

Cha Yiqing thought for a moment and nodded lightly.

Seeing Cha Yiqing nodding, everyone hurriedly stepped forward to help.

Although they are not martial arts practitioners, they are all good at work.

Soon the edge of the pond was dug up, and the excavated earth was piled up beside it.

Suddenly, Ali exclaimed.

His voice was terrified, as if he had seen a ghost in the day.

"My lord! My lord! Ah Yan's corpse ......"

Everyone was taken aback, and their eyes were full of horror.

Only Cha Yiqing's expression was still calm, as if she had expected it.

"Ali, carry the body out and continue excavating."

"Yes...... Yes, sir. ”

Soon Ah Yan's body was fished out and placed on the ground.

Everyone looked at Cha Yiqing's gaze, except for surprise and admiration.

He didn't pay attention to the gaze of others, just calmly shook the folding fan, and only those who really knew him knew the anxiety in his heart.

**, Lotus Pond, Ah Yan, what is the relationship between these three?

Cha Yiqing thought and thought in her heart, but there was still no answer.

He had to get close and crouch down to examine the body.

Although the corpse was eroded by moisture, the wounds between the necks were clear.

"The murder weapon is obviously a saber for the forbidden army."

Although Cha Yiqing muttered to herself, her tone was extremely affirmative.

"Brother Cha, no matter how arrogant the forbidden army is, they don't dare to kill people casually, right?"

"They're not killing people randomly."

"Didn't you kill it casually? Did he see something? ”

"It must be, at least he saw the workers transporting **."

"Shipping**? Why ship**? ”

"It must be something to blow up, I don't know the specifics."

After a moment, Cha Yiqing's eyes suddenly lit up, as if she thought of something.

He walked briskly towards the courtyard wall in the northeast corner and beckoned to the family.

"Come here, dig further northeast from here!"

"Yes, sir!"

Although everyone did not know why, they did not dare to disobey their will.

When they got up to the flat road, their hands became sharper, and they soon found that there were also traces of excavation in the ground here.

Thinking that something would be discovered soon, everyone was very excited, even Cha Yiqing thought so.

But it turned out that they were wrong, and they were busy until the sun went down to no avail.

Feng Jiutian looked at the mountains of dirt in a daze.

Cha Yiqing also sighed a little helplessly.

"Brother Cha, do you think who's digging a hole here?"

"It's not a person who goes against the scales, or it's Boyu's person."

"So what exactly are they trying to do?"

"From here to the northeast, not far away are the rows of shops, then the ......"

"Tianyou Temple!"

Feng Jiutian and Cha Yiqing looked at each other and said in unison.

Cha Yiqing seemed to wear everything in an instant.

Even if he was usually calm, cold sweat broke out on his forehead at this moment.

"Brother Cha, have you seen through the conspiracy?"

Feng Jiutian's expression was a little excited, and his voice was also very eager.

Cha Yiqing was a little dazed, and she didn't hear his words.

After a while, he came back to his senses and opened his mouth leisurely.

"This is an incomparably ingenious and vicious plan!"

"Tell me about it!"

"The murderer used the pond repair period to transport a large number of **, and used the rockery as a cover."

"I already know that."

"Then do you know where ** is now?"

"Is it under the foundation of Tianyou Temple?"

"This backfilled tunnel is the closest to Tianyou Temple."

"The murderer wants to kill my uncle with **?"

"Not only Your Majesty, but also civil and military officials."

"What means will the murderer use to detonate **?"

"I don't know, for today's plan, I can only explore Tianyou Temple!"

"So what are you waiting for? Now let's go and ask for the Holy Decree! ”

"The tunnel entrance is set up in my house, but I am afraid that I will be called a thief to catch a thief!"

"Are we going to break in?"

"If you break through and have no solid evidence, you will be considered a rebellion."

"This doesn't work, that doesn't work, what are you going to do?"

Cha Yiqing smiled lightly and pointed to the tunnel being excavated.

Feng Jiutian was busy looking for it, and then he smiled heartily.

Two days later, the tunnel was finally dug through.

At this time, it was only one night before Li Yu came to Xingtianyou Temple.

There is no moonlight tonight, dark clouds are everywhere, and heavy rain is coming.

Cha Yiqing's face seemed to be a little cloudy and sunny tonight.

The old housekeeper looked very respectful and stood in front of Cha Yiqing with his hands down.

"Xiao Ji, I want to entrust you with a very important matter."

"My lord, even if you command, I will do my best to live up to your trust."

"You must deliver this letter to your father within half an hour."

"This letter is ......"

"You don't need to know, but this letter is a matter of life and death."

As she spoke, Cha Yiqing took out a letter from her bosom and handed it to the old housekeeper Xiao Ji.

He handed over not only the letter, but also his own life.

"I've been to the palace a few times, and I can't make a mistake!"

The old butler swore solemnly, his eyes showing a solemnity that had not been seen for a long time.

After he finished speaking, he bowed to Cha Yiqing, and then turned around and went straight to the palace.

Before Xiao Ji had gone far, Feng Jiutian came.

When Cha Yiqing saw Feng Jiutian, she pointed to the tunnel and admonished.

"Xiao Jiu, don't be reckless after going down the tunnel, look at my eyes and act."

"Brother Cha, don't worry, I won't kill people casually."

"Haha, I don't think it's strange what happened to your temper!"

"It's important to get down to business, so don't make fun of me."

Cha Yiqing nodded and waved her hand lightly towards Feng Jiutian.

The two of them immediately went down the tunnel and groped their way inside.

I don't know how long it took, a very strong ** smell came, choking people a little out of breath, and the two knew that they had reached the bottom of the foundation at this time.

Feng Jiutian saw that there were several wooden boxes around, so he carefully opened one, and the moment the wooden boxes were opened, the ** smell suddenly became stronger.

Feng Jiutian gritted his teeth and opened his mouth with some hatred.

"What kind of person is so vicious?"

"Yes, the murderer is really mad!"

Cha Yiqing whispered as she gently pushed the wooden plank above her head.

"Squeak!"

The plank was pushed away, and the two carefully climbed out.

Fortunately, the sky was beautiful, and the wind, rain and thunder muffled the slight sound they made.

Cha Yiqing shook the fire and slowly walked in front of the Buddha statue.

Although he escorted the Golden Buddha all the way, it was the first time he had taken a closer look.

This is an incomparably delicate statue of Guanyin, where every detail is lifelike.

"Brother Cha, is there anything special about this Buddha statue besides being precious?"

"The jade bottle in the bodhisattva's hand can be turned, and the willow branches drip nectar."

"It's so amazing, I really want to see it!"

Feng Jiutian said as he jumped and was about to reach out to turn the jade bottle.

He suddenly found that the palm of the Golden Buddha was much darker than the Buddha's body.

So he reached out and touched it, put it under his nose and sniffed it.

"Brother Tea! Oh no, I see! ”

"Xiao Jiu, what do you want to say, incoherent."

"There is phosphorus powder on the jade bottle, and the bodhisattva's hands are coated with sulfur."

"The murderer is really vicious!"

"The flame produced in this way is extremely weak, and I am afraid it is useless."

"The Buddha statue must contain a large number of ** in its body, so that no one will survive in the hall."

"Brother Cha, you escorted all the way, didn't you notice anything unusual?"

"There is nothing unusual on the way, it must have been dropped by someone after the Golden Buddha returned to Beijing!"

Feng Jiutian suddenly remembered the scene in Lianfu, and hurriedly looked at the lower part of the Buddha statue.

"Sure enough, the small pit on the Buddha statue is gone!"

"I see! The Golden Buddha was forged by the dead goldsmiths in Luling. ”

"These murderers are really ruthless and crazy!"

Feng Jiutian was shocked, and his voice involuntarily became louder.

Cha Yiqing was about to remind him when footsteps suddenly appeared at the door.

"My lord, we said we would not see each other again, you ......"

Zhao Zhen, the commander of the forbidden army, said as he cautiously entered the house.

Cha Yiqing knew that it was too late to dodge, so she had to meet it.

"Zhao Zhen! Are you a traitor convicted? ”

"Xiao Yan, it's actually you!"

"That's right, it's this official! I didn't expect it! ”

"What is the reason why you trespassed into Tianyou Temple and framed the general!"

"Haha, you don't know it's dying yet!"

"Am I dying? Ask for advice! ”

"You colluded with bandits, tried to rebel, and killed good people, don't you deserve to die!"

"Lord Xiao, you have to have evidence for what you say!"

"The ** under the foundation, the golden Buddha that was transferred, and the corpse in the pool wall are all evidence!"

"What do these things have to do with Ben?"

"Shall I ask you a few questions?"

"Just ask!"

"First of all, without your support, how can the ** under the foundation be buried?"

"They did it secretly at night, how would Ben know?"

"Hahaha, at night? The last few days, but during the day! ”

"This ...... At best, this shows that I am derelict in my duties! ”

"No, instead of dereliction of duty, you are conscientious!"

"Lord Xiao, what do you mean by this?"

"Without your help, how could thousands of pounds of Buddha statues be transferred?"

"I don't know!"

"Do such a big thing in front of your eyes, and you don't know it? What a self-deception! ”

"According to you, Ben only needs to act in the temple, so why dig tunnels?"

"Because you want to blame the official, I'm right, right?"

"Then why did I kill your family?"

"Because he found out that the craftsmen were transporting **, so you killed people and killed people!"

"Are you sure Ah Yan was killed?"

"Don't admit yourself? You're so stupid! ”

"Xiao Yan, you and I have no grievances in the past, and no enemies in the near future, why meddle!"

"As a minister, you want to murder Your Majesty, how can I turn a deaf ear!"

"Hahaha, since you have to be a loyal minister, don't blame Ben for being ruthless!"

Zhao Zhen laughed a few times, pulled out his saber, and stared at the two of them.

Cha Yiqing smiled and pointed at him with a fan, looking extremely calm and confident.

"If we die, how will you explain to Your Majesty?"

"Let's just say that you trespassed into the forbidden land, and unfortunately you were killed by mistake!"

"It's a good excuse, but it's a pity."

"What a pity?"

Zhao Zhen clenched the saber in his hand and sneered fearlessly.

Feng Jiutian, who had not spoken, opened his mouth coldly at this moment.

"It's a pity that your opponent is Feng Jiutian!"

Feng Jiutian's words were cold, and his sword light was even colder.

He showed no mercy to his enemies.

The duel between good and evil is all in the shadow of swords and swords.

The Liuyun Sword is as light as the wind, smooth as water, and brilliant as a star.

Such a sword move may not be perfect, but it is absolutely deadly.

The saber in Zhao Zhen's hand is also as heavy as a mountain, as strong as fire, and as dazzling as the sun.

Zhao Zhen's martial arts are by no means unparalleled in the world, but they are enough to shock the martial arts.

"When! While! While! ”

The sound of metal resonating is constant, crisp but piercing.

Such a sound, even if there is rain and thunder, can never be concealed.

"Xiao Jiu, fight quickly!"

Cha Yiqing snorted lightly and stepped forward with a fan.

Competitions and duels in the rivers and lakes should naturally be fair and reasonable.

But the arrest of criminals must not be confined to this.

The former is nothing more than the honor and disgrace of one person, but the latter is related to the survival of a country.

Zhao Zhen was surrounded by the two, and fell into decline in an instant.

But he didn't panic, instead shouting outside.

"Someone! There are assassins who break into the temple at night! ”

With his shout, the closed door of the temple was smashed open in an instant, and countless soldiers with bows and guns surrounded the door.

If they shoot arrows randomly, I am afraid that no matter how strong the master is, he will die!

"Brother Tea! Do we want to fight hard? ”

Feng Jiutian's face became solemn, and his hands did not stop at all.

Cha Yiqing's expression was still calm, as if she regarded everyone as nothing.

Zhao Zhen slammed backwards for a few feet, and his mouth and feet sneered.

"Hahaha, Lord Xiao! I can't help but admire you! ”

"What do you admire me?"

"Of course I admire you for seeing death as home!"

"Death as home? You are the one who died! ”

Cha Yiqing's expression was extremely calm, and her voice was extremely affirmative.

His demeanor is by no means pretended, but absolutely in his chest.

Mo said that Zhao Zhen was puzzled, and even Feng Jiutian was puzzled.

No matter how calm a person is facing life and death, there will always be a trace of waves.

can be so unfazed, unless he has a follow-up move!

"Your Majesty has arrived!"

The shrill voice of the Ouchi chief pierced the silent night sky.

With his voice, countless officers and soldiers appeared outside the temple, and in the middle of the officers and soldiers was a Nine Dragons Yellow Silk shoulder.

Only one person can take such a shoulder in Nantang, and one person dares to take it.

That must be the emperor Li Yu of Wenzhi and martial arts!

"The traitor Zhao Zhen, dare to make a mistake in front of me?"

Li Yu shouted, and the person had reached Zhao Zhen's side in an instant, and this light skill, looking at the entire rivers and lakes, was absolutely second to none.

Zhao Zhen seemed unwilling to admit defeat, and actually slammed Li Yu's face door with a knife.

This knife was slashed out, as fast as lightning, and there was a faint sound of wind and thunder.

This move is undoubtedly Zhao Zhen's trick, and he will win or lose under one knife!

"Dang!"

Zhao Yu's knife actually fell to the ground, making a mournful roar, and Li Yu's five fingers had already tightly clasped his veins.

When and how Li Yu made the move, almost no one can see clearly.

The real tricks are never used to see, but to decide the outcome of the battle.

Zhao Zhen is indeed a very strong master, so strong that the whole country was shocked, but it is a pity that his opponent is Li Yu, Li Yu who has never tasted defeat in his life!

"Someone! Tie up the traitors! ”

Li Yu slowly turned sideways and ordered the officers and soldiers behind him.

Several elite soldiers got the order, and hurriedly stepped forward and tied up Zhao Zhen. Zhao Zhen was bound, and his subordinates hurriedly abandoned their weapons and were bound.

Li Yu glared at these forbidden soldiers angrily and waved his hand angrily.

"Pull these traitors down to me and behead them all!"

The officers and soldiers were stunned when they heard this, and became a little hesitant.

Seeing this, Cha Yiqing hurriedly took a few steps forward and knelt in front of Li Yu.

"Father, please remember the past merits and forgive them!"

"Qing'er, they wanted to kill you, but you let me spare them?"

"That's right, please give me the order!"

"But they want me to die without a place to bury!"

"Father-in-law, the mastermind is Zhao Zhen, and he has nothing to do with others."

"This ...... That's it! One person beats fifty with a cane, and he will never be hired! ”

Cha Yiqing was about to persuade again, but Li Yu's face was extremely resolute, he had to keep his mouth shut, but sighed silently for them in his heart.

"Qing'er, Zhao Zhen is betting on your Dali Temple!"

Li Yu coughed lightly as he spoke, looking a little tired.

Cha Yiqing thought for a moment, and then opened her mouth firmly.

"Father-in-law, Zhao Zhen must not be detained in Dali Temple."

"Why?"

Cha Yiqing did not answer, but asked rhetorically.

"Father, why are you here today?"

"You write a letter asking for help, can I come?"

"Who is under the jurisdiction of Dali Temple?"

"Of course it's you."

"Everything is done by the sons, and I am afraid that people will criticize it!"

"Well, what you say is reasonable, then put it in prison."

Li Yu was already a little impatient, turned around and went straight to his shoulder, and the group quickly disappeared into the vast night.

Cha Yiqing bowed three times in the direction of the palace.

Then he slowly straightened up and looked at Feng Jiutian.

Feng Jiutian was a little stunned at the moment, as if he was thinking about something.

"Xiao Jiu, what are you thinking?"

"I'm thinking about the gap between myself and my uncle."

"Status gap?"

"No, the martial arts gap!"

"The martial arts of the father-in-law are superb, but they are not out of reach."

"That's right, I'll be stronger than him sooner or later!"

"When we think about these things, we still have business."

"I understand, I'm afraid the road will not be smooth."

The two looked at each other, and their hearts were silent.

Cha Yiqing is also a human being, and it is inevitable that she will make mistakes if she is a human being.

He thought that there would be someone on the road to intercept and kill, and there would definitely be a big battle.

But until Zhao Zhen was put in prison, everything went surprisingly smoothly.

After the two finished their errands, they returned to the mansion, and the sky was white again.

They did only one thing that night, but it was of great significance.

Maybe the secret of the reverse scale and the death of Yun Songqing will be revealed......
