Late at night, Bu Tong tossed and turned for a long time, and suddenly rolled down from the couch, "No! ”

Chun Tao was frightened, "What? What's wrong Miss? ”

Butong got up and put on his clothes carelessly,

"No, Chun Tao, hurry up and call Xuanlin, why did the killer run away, but he stayed to rummage through the apse where the temple lived, and finally burned it?"

Chun Tao slept a little dazed, so naturally she didn't understand.

Butong put on a cloak,

"There must be something in the apse that can identify the man who instructed the abbot to lie."

Chun Tao knew that it was a big matter, and he just put on his clothes and went out, Bu Tong thought about it, and simply carried the lantern and walked to the backyard, and the Jinyi guards searched it during the day, and there would be no problem, there must be some important clues, the killer was not found, so he could only set fire to everything, and now the treacherous plan has not been completed, I am afraid that the thief will soon make a comeback.

The apse is much simpler than the front hall, but now the ground is full of mess, even the prayer flags hanging on the wall have been torn off and scattered all over the ground, Butong walked in, thinking about the warm and lively appearance of the abbot with a group of small novices a few days ago, I can't help but sigh and sigh,

"Abbot, who wants you to deceive us about the real situation of Dongyi City? Perhaps, did he give you any letters or orders? ”

"If there is, I'm afraid it has already been destroyed," Mu Hesheng's voice came from behind him, Bu Tong turned around, Mu Hesheng was coming from the side with a lantern, reaching out to pick up the prayer flags at his feet and putting them on the stone screen on the side, "Ah Tong can't sleep too?" ”

Bu Tong bowed slightly, "Your Royal Highness, the courtiers just suddenly thought that there might be clues here that the killer didn't find." ”

Mu Hesheng nodded, "I think so too, it's just that in order to keep these novices alive, the abbot will definitely not leave a handle in the temple, and he must have destroyed it." ”

"What His Royal Highness said is that the abbot has gone through a lifetime of ups and downs, and he went against his heart for the survival of the temple, and he will not continue to keep any clues after being discovered by Tong'er a few days ago." Tang Xuanlin walked in from outside the door, cold and wanted to stay outside for a long time.

Bu Tong stepped forward, "It's cold and cold at night, why are you wearing so thin?" ”

Tang Xuanlin smiled slightly,

"I'm not cold, and I took the brothers of Jinyiwei to search the entire Lingyin Temple overnight, but they didn't find any clues."

Mu Hesheng sighed softly, "It seems that our opponent is smarter than we imagined. ”

Butong bowed his head slightly and saluted,

"Your Highness, don't burn your body, it's late at night, so let's rest."

Mu Hesheng nodded and turned to leave, Bu Tong looked at the cold air on the corners of Tang Xuanlin's eyes and eyebrows, and felt a little distressed,

"But you've been out there until now?"

Tang Xuanlin stretched out his hand and covered his face,

"No, it's humid at night on the mountain, and that's it for a while."

Bu Tong nodded, "Do you want to go back to work now?" ”

Tang Xuanlin shook his head, "It's been dealt with, Tong'er will go back to rest." ”

Butong looked up at the bright moonlight, and only felt that tomorrow would be a good day,

"Some can't sleep, I don't know what happened to Xingtian? Let's go and see. ”

A trace of doubt flashed on Tang Xuanlin's face, "Punishment interrogations have always been unbearable, why should Tong'er go to see those bloody scenes, it's better to go back and rest, and wait for the result tomorrow." ”

Bu Tong smiled,

"It's okay, I'm a bold person, what's more, thinking of this innocent victim, I really can't sleep well, so I just went to see Xingtian's ability."

When Tang Xuanlin heard this, he knew that he couldn't resist Butong, so he had to take Butong to the depths of the back hall.

"There are several shacks where grain and grass are stored in the mountain behind Lingyin Temple, and Xing Tian chose a secluded house where he interrogated the killer."

Bu Tong nodded and didn't answer, his feet slipped on the pebbles of falling snow, and sure enough, Tang Xuanlin reached out to catch him, and Bu Tong complained silently in his heart, this plot of accidentally falling down is really very high.

I had to make a shy look and bow my head, "Thank you." ”

Tang Xuanlin's face was close at hand, and he could feel it almost breathing, Bu Tong looked at the thin lips next to the tip of his nose, and only felt that the plot was not bloody enough, why was it so different?

Do you want to pull this man down a little bit?

This is a problem, but when Bu Tong hesitated, Tang Xuanlin got up, took her up, and said in a deep voice,

"Be careful, there are too many stones on this road, and it is difficult to walk in the snow."

Bu Tong looked at the lantern that had been extinguished on the side of the kung fu for a while, and sighed,

"I still think that the moonlight is bright, and it is really difficult to go here and cover the moonlight."

"Tong'er," Tang Xuanlin suddenly spoke, "I've always had something to puzzle about. ”

Bu Tong carried her skirt and walked slowly and carefully step by step, "What's the matter?" ”

Tang Xuanlin was silent for half a minute before he spoke,

"Tong'er, when I first met you, I was fortunate to have a good heart, Xuanlin doesn't know, what makes Tong'er treat each other like this?"

I heard the meaning in Butong's ears very clearly, that is, why did you fall in love with me when I saw you for the first time? Want to know why?

Bu Tong bit his lip and struggled in the dark night, I can't say, because I was reborn, and I was touched by your affection before I died in my last life, so when I was reborn in this life, I want to live with you for nothing?

Of course not.

Bu Tong smiled,

"Xuanlin, don't be careful, I just saw you on the day I didn't realize the first meeting, I just felt that it was a farewell meeting, as if I missed your kindness in the previous life, so I came to repay the kindness."

Tang Xuanlin suddenly lowered and muttered,

"It turned out that it was just to repay the favor."

Bu Tong saw that he was silent for a long time, and the two walked out of the long backyard path, until they were almost close to the firewood house, they turned back, and finally saw Tang Xuanlin's lost face under the moonlight, and they knew that they were speechless,

"Xuanlin, I didn't mean that, you ......"

Tang Xuanlin suddenly raised his head, smiling slightly and with a soft face, as if it was Butong's illusion just now,

"That is the fate of the previous life, Xuanlin must cherish it."

Bu Tong was a little embarrassed, nodded hastily and arrived at the door, Xing Tian with a few brocade guards was lighting a bonfire not far from the side of the house to roast a fat chicken, Bu Tong's eyes slowly widened and walked over,

"What is this doing? Didn't you interrogate that person? ”

Xingtian wiped the oil on his mouth, "Hehe" laughed quietly, "Little gentleman, rest assured, I'm on trial." ”

Tilting his head and seeing Tang Xuanlin coming behind Bu Tong, Tie Qing's face seemed to be displeased, and he hurriedly patted the dust on his hands and got up.

"Lord Overseer."

Bu Tong is curious,

"Take us to see it."

Xingtian made a "please" action, Bu Tong looked at the smile on his lips, and naturally put his heart at ease, the house had been cleaned up, only an empty room remained, the killer's eyes were covered with black cloth, and his hands were tied and hung on the beams, and he was covered with wounds, but most of them had coagulated, and there was a huge iron plate under his feet, with some coagulated blood stains on it, which looked very ordinary.

But there was a strange thing that there was a wooden bucket placed in each corner of the house, and water was dripping on the iron plate below.

After reading it silently, several people exited and closed the door.

"Good strategy," Tang Xuanlin nodded in praise.

Bu Tong seems to have some ideas and a little puzzled,

"Tell me, what kind of strategy are you?"

Xingtian triumphantly thanked Tang Xuanlin, and turned to Butong,

"Little sir, most of people's fears come from their hearts, I told the people inside, if they don't say anything, I will go in every quarter of an hour to cut open two parts of his flesh, the first hour, I open a wooden barrel, the second hour, open the second one, and hear my own blood dripping out, my body slowly becomes numb, that kind of fear, is much better than shouting a few people to beat him."

Bu Tong nodded, "Awesome." ”

The theory of condemning the heart is actually a big plan, but it is ......

"Why is the body numb? Obviously, I didn't lose a lot of blood, but is this also a psychological effect? Bu Tong rubbed his hands and asked, if he didn't understand.

A brocade guard next to him smiled and said, "Hang the girl up, and now your hands and feet will be numb if you can't hold on." ”

I see.

Tang Xuanlin glanced over, and those people hurriedly lowered their heads and didn't dare to say anything more.

Butong walked to the bonfire and roasted cold little hands,

"How many hours is it now?"

Xing Tian came over and added some firewood and spoke, "It's been more than two hours and a quarter." ”

Bu Tong nodded, almost unable to hold on......

His eyes turned and suddenly froze, "What are you burning?" ”

Xing Tian sat next to him and pulled a few times with a wooden stick, "The wood in the firewood room, in order to vacate the room and have an echo effect, we have all moved out, and it is very hard to scrap it, don't look at the only old monk in this temple with a group of small monks, and there are a lot of hoards in this barren mountain." ”

Xing Tian stretched out his hand and pointed to the open space behind the firewood room, and sure enough, a lot of dry firewood was piled up, with thick branches and deep textures, which were no different from those that were burning.

"But this is ......"

Bu Tong walked over and took out a few and looked at them, "It's a northern pine tree, this is for military use." ”

Tang Xuanlin and Xingtian followed, "Is there something wrong?" ”

Bu Tong showed them the firewood,

"This is a firewood made of pine branches that only exist in the north, because we don't grow much in our territory, this kind of tree burns for a long time and is very easy to ignite, because the number is small, most of them are cultivated as military grain and grass, and they are rarely used by the people and even in the palace, why do so many appear in the firewood room of Lingyin Temple now?

Tang Xuanlin took it and looked at it,

"Maybe there's a problem with military procurement? I'll go back to Kyoto City and investigate. ”

Bu Tong thought carefully,

"I'm afraid not, this kind of thing, like the white feather red iron arrow, is too obvious, I think, I'm afraid that it was the same Dongshan who assassinated Wu Thirteen, and it was a person all the way."

Tang Xuanlin asked,

"Are you trying to hide your identity and frame the military?"

Butong nodded,

"The materials in the army, if you say that the characteristics are distinct, are also true, but it is not difficult for people with intentions to get their hands on things, it is nothing more than something that confuses the public. As for the clues, it still depends on whether Xingtian's method can make the killer speak. ”

Xing Tian looked at Bu Tong with admiration, "Mr. Xiao is thoughtful and strategic, he is really a strange woman, rest assured, within two quarters of an hour, he will definitely speak." ”

Butong nodded,

"The quiet house is full of the sound of my own blood dripping, and if I too will be crushed by the fear in my heart."

Sure enough, within a quarter of an hour, the killer's weak voice came from inside, "I said, I said...... Take away the iron plates! ”
