Chapter 59: The heart of a thief does not die
Xingtian brought people in for interrogation, while Bu Tong and Tang Xuanlin stood at the door and listened.
Xing Tian went in and looked at him impatiently, "What is there to say?" I'll hear if you're honest or not. ”
The killer grimaced, "Your Excellency wants to know who we assigned?" ”
Xingtian casually said "um" and pulled out the dagger, Bu Tong looked at the killer and trembled unconsciously after hearing the sound of the dagger unsheathed, and opened his mouth nervously,
"Adult ......"
Xingtian really played with one hand and grasped the key points.
"Who sent you?" Xing Tian raised his voice, "I'm a person who doesn't have much patience, just say it if you want to, don't say that we still have a few hours to play together." ”
"Say, say," the killer's last insistence was also defeated, "We are, the dead soldiers under the former military department Sun Daren, who was impeached for framing Lie Zhanhu, so we turned to listen to the orders of the Six Princes' Mansion. ”
Mu Hequan!
Butong's eyes instantly enlarged, sure enough, it's you!
Xing Tian walked around him in a circle, "Have you seen the Sixth Highness?" ”
The killer quickly replied, "I haven't seen it, I have always been the steward of the Six Princes, Lord Jia Chenjia contacted us to do things." ”
"Then Sun Qingshan is the person in the door of the Sixth Highness?" Xing Tian asked an obvious question.
Bu Tong approached Tang Xuanlin and whispered, "What's going on with Xingtian?" Asking such a stupid question doesn't it make the killer think that we are ignorant and can be deceived at will? ”
Tang Xuanlin lowered his head and chuckled, "The true and the false are confusing the public for protection." ”
Bu Tong instantly became clear, after all, we can't guarantee that we will fully know what this killer is hiding, and it is better to pretend to be confused than to show that everything is clear.
Xingtian is indeed a smart man.
The killer responded, "Yes, Lord Sun has fallen, Jia Chen will come to contact us, we also know who Lord Sun's backer is in the past, so, so ......"
"Why did you slaughter the people of Lingyin Temple?" Xingtian asked an important question.
The killer said, "The villain really doesn't know, the orders are all handed down from above, we only know how to kill people with the bow and arrow given by Jia Chen as instructed." ”
"Really?" Xingtian stopped, "You are the one who killed people at my doorstep?" ”
The killer responded, "Yes, they all do what they are told, and please give me a good time." ”
Xingtian cut off one of his tendons with a knife, and the blood fell on the iron plate in large pieces and made a muffled sound, and in the killer's muffled snort, Xingtian continued to walk around him, "You treat me as stupid!" That Wu Thirteen is the person who spread the pox plague in Dongyi City, you killed him? Could it be that the Sixth Highness instructed the difficulties of Dongyi City? ”
The killer's voice was hoarse, "The villain really doesn't know, Jia Chen only needs us to do these two things, we really don't know why." ”
Xingtian snorted, "Then what are you rummaging in the apse?" If you can't find it, you still have to set it on fire? The two punches you punched me hurt so much, we didn't settle this account! ”
The killer hurriedly explained, "My lord, it's a small one with no long eyes, you don't have to blame, it's Jia Chen who asked us to find a gilded jade plaque in the temple, if not, he will burn down the Lingyin Temple." ”
Gilt jade?
Bu Tong and Tang Xuanlin glanced at each other, and sure enough, there was a token.
Seeing that the question was almost the same, Xing Tian immediately ordered, "Put him down." ”
The man was finally placed on the ground, and a few brocade guards quietly removed the wooden barrel and iron plate in the corner of the house, which opened the blindfolded black cloth for the killer, Bu Tong and Tang Xuanlin quietly hid in the corner, and heard Xingtian inside continue to speak,
"Those who know the times are Junjie, Wu Thirteen is like this, now you are serving with delicious food and drink, you don't want to ......"
Before the words fell, there was chaos inside, and after a while, Xingtian came out, frowning,
"Lord Overseer, the killer killed himself by crashing into the wall."
Tang Xuanlin nodded,
"That's it, I've asked almost everything I should ask, how can such a domestic dead soldier be willing to go back with us to be a witness, just ask for a good time."
Bu Tong turned his head, "That piece of gilded jade pendant!" ”
Tang Xuanlin beckoned to a few people in front of him, "Gather everyone, dig three feet into the ground, and turn things out of this Lingyin Temple for me!" ”
……
Bu Tong went back to the house to rest for a while, and when he woke up again, it was already dawn, and Chun Tao brought water to wipe Bu Tong's face, "Miss woke up?" Hurry up and wipe your face, Your Highness said, you will be on the road later. ”
Butong got up, "What's going on outside?" ”
Chun Tao pouted and twisted the handkerchief, "Lord Tang took the Jinyi Guard to turn the Lingyin Temple upside down overnight, and even the green bricks and wooden planks under the hall were opened to see, but nothing was found, and now it is being combined with the Four Highnesses, will it have been destroyed." ”
Butong always felt that everyone was missing something, got up and dressed,
"Let's go, Chun Tao, come with me to the back hall and have a look."
Chang'an was holding a food box at the door, and looked at Bu Tong in some surprise, "Miss, where are you going?" Meals ......"
Butong waved his hand,
"You can use it first, and just go back and put it on the carriage for us."
Chun Tao followed behind Bu Tong, reluctantly looking at the food box in Chang'an's hand, "Brother Chang'an, don't eat up the chicken legs......"
Compared to last night's messiness in the back hall, now I can't recognize the whole picture, things have been moved to the porch, and the house is full of dirt, so it can be seen that Chun Tao said, "Even the green bricks and wooden planks under the hall have been opened to see" is not a lie, but even this has not been found?
It doesn't make sense.
Bu Tong walked to the side room, which seemed to be the place where the little novices sat and lived, Bu Tong looked at the pillows and bedding stacked together at the door, and suddenly his mind flashed, and he called out to the two brocade guards,
"Help take the count."
After a while, there were Jinyi guards back and forth, "Little sir, there are 18 pillows, 18 mattresses, and 17 quilts. ”
Bu Tong "um" for a moment, "How many corpses were there when the remains of the temple were buried yesterday?" ”
Jin Yiwei continued to answer, "There are 18 in total. ”
Bu Tong's eyes lit up, looking at the brocade guard who bowed his head and saluted,
"Go and give these back to your overseer."
Jinyi Wei had to order to leave, and Chun Tao looked at the pile of things puzzled, "Is there anything wrong with Miss?" 18 sets of bedding and 18 corpses are right. ”
Bu Tong looked up at the position of the sun, guessing that it was almost nine o'clock now.
"Spring Peach, this is where the little novices live."
Chun Tao nodded, "That's right." ”
Seeing that she still didn't understand, Bu Tong got up and patted the dust on her skirt, "The abbot doesn't live here. ”
Chun Tao suddenly realized, "Yes, plus the host, there should be 19 talents, right, that is, there is a little novice who is not dead?" ”
Bu Tong nodded, "That's right, maybe find him, and all the problems will be solved." ”
Chun Tao was instantly deflated, "Miss, look at this cold winter wax moon, in the deep mountains and barren forests, that little monk is afraid that he has already been frozen to death." ”
Bu Tong looked at the pile of bedding, "Not really. ”
……
Before everyone set off, Mu Hesheng walked over and gently knocked on the window of Xia Butong, "Ah Tong, thanks to you on this trip, I will definitely give Miss the first credit when I return to Kyoto." ”
Bu Tong lifted the curtain, saw that Tang Xuanlin was also following behind Mu Hesheng and smiled lightly, and then saluted the two of them.
"Your Highness is polite, since the courtiers are out of Kyoto City, they are working for His Highness, and these are naturally their duties."
Mu Hesheng left after a few greetings, Bu Tong heard Shi Qing instructing everyone to pay attention to the traces of the surviving little novice along the way, and watched Tang Xuanlin get up and get on the horse, remembering what he had said, and he didn't know how to make up for it.
Chang'an approached and handed in a food box, "Miss hasn't eaten, and it's quite a long way back, so let's take some with you." ”
Chun Tao got up and took it, Chang An glanced at Tang Xuanlin and looked back at Butong, and said in a low voice, "Miss is still cautious in her words and deeds, the villain can see that he is so stupid, if he is discovered by an adult......"
As soon as these words came out, Bu Tong was relieved, it seemed that Chang'an would not "betray" himself, Bu Tong had no worries, and looked at Chang'an leisurely,
"What will happen to my father?"
Chang'an regained his arrogant appearance and snorted, "Your Excellency will definitely unite with the Duke of Beiguo to make this nouveau riche disappear from the side of the county lord Niangniang unconsciously." ”
This is not a good thing to say, but Bu Tong believes that Bu Tingyun may really do it.
Along the way, Bu Tong looked at the spring peaches that gnawed one chicken leg after another, and his thoughts were cloudy.
"How many legs does a chicken have? It's going to be eaten by you. ”
Chun Tao's mouth was full of oil, and she looked at Bu Tong with a smile, "Miss, don't you eat it?" It's fragrant, Brother Chang'an left us a lot. ”
Butong gnawed on the apple,
"It's mostly reserved for you, I don't like to eat these, you can eat it."
Chun Tao happily picked up a chicken leg and sent it to his mouth, the carriage suddenly shook violently, Chun Tao's hand shook a little, and hurriedly held his chicken leg with both hands.
"What's going on?" Bu Tong close to the window.
Chang'an replied outside, "Miss stay in the car and don't move, there are killers besieging you." ”
Killer?
Siege!
Chang'an's voice was tense, and it seemed that there were not a few people coming.
Butong stuffed Chun Tao behind him,
"Spring peach don't move."
Although it was still calm outside, there was a sudden sound of swords clashing, and there was a muffled sound of being injured and falling to the ground, Chun Tao was trembling behind Bu Tong, but he struggled forward, "Miss, no, you quickly hide behind me." ”
Bu Tong's eyes were full of the firelight of the previous life, and the sound of Chun Tao slowly falling down, almost gritting his teeth,
"Don't move, you stay behind me honestly!"
The driver of the car fell to the ground with a few sharp sounds of arrows cutting through the silence of the winter day.
Bu Tong's heart was not good, and sure enough, several white feather red iron arrows shot straight into the carriage and nailed to the board at Bu Tong's feet.
Chun Tao screamed, and Bu Tong heard someone landing on the roof of the carriage, and the sound of arrows being intercepted and falling was all around.
The horses were frightened and kept moving, and Bu Tong hugged Chun Tao tightly, for fear that if the horses rushed out, the two would be thrown out of the carriage.
Until I don't know how long it took, the sound of the fighting outside quieted down, the noise sounded, everyone beckoned to treat the wounded, asked about the injury, Bu Tong's nervous ear acupoints received a sentence from Suzaku, "Adult, hurry down and let the villain bandage you." ”
Bu Tong's head exploded with a "bang", and no longer caring about the situation outside, he lifted the curtain, but Tang Xuanlin took the first step to open it, crashing into a pair of nervous and panicked phoenix eyes, Tang Xuanlin looked at the feather arrow behind Bu Tong, and finally breathed a sigh of relief,
"It's fine if you're okay."
Bu Tong looked up and down, his eyes fell on his left arm, there was a cut in the fabric by a sharp blade, Tang Xuanlin was wearing dark clothes every day, Bu Tong could only see the wet appearance of the cloth, guessing how his wound was.
"Hurt? Show me. Bu Tong stepped forward and pulled Tang Xuanlin's clothes, shook the Suzaku who was about to reach out to help, and decisively withdrew his hand and turned to the side.
Tang Xuanlin smiled absently,
"It's okay, skin trauma, just apply some medicine."
Bu Tong gently pulled away the clothes to reveal a hideous wound, the military arrows, in order to increase the lethality, the arrows were made into a sharp shape, once stained, it must be tearing flesh and skin, hurting muscles and bones, distressed and secretly gritting teeth,
"Mu Hequan, a thief with an immortal heart, I spared him!"
