Shen Haolin, Shen Cha and Bai Meng stayed in Xuanyuan's courtyard that night, Xuanyuan Liang and Yutai Pingchuan had already arranged a house for them, prepared everything, and when they settled down, the two old men went back to their yard to rest.

After the three of them finished washing, it was already the second half of the night, although it was very late, but there was no sleepiness at all, these few unsolved cases that had been sealed for a long time aroused their curiosity, and they got together and carefully studied the files of these unsolved cases.

"These cases span 20 years, although the methods are different, and the victims' deaths are also different, but the styles are similar, without exception, the victims are the elders of the family." Shen Cha yawned, put the file in his hand on the small table in front of him, hugged a pillow, and said with half-squinted eyes, "These can show that these cases are from the same person, at least they have a mastermind." ”

"The eldest of the family?" Shen Haolin reached out and picked up one of the files, "Why is the mastermind so obsessed with attacking the elder?" As far as I know, Chi Ge is always the head of the Chi family, and it stands to reason that the most feared thing in their hearts should not be the concubine of the family? ”

"Then I don't know." Bai Meng shook his head lightly, touched his chin, and looked at Shen Haolin, "I found out that we actually don't know much about Chi Ge Lao, right?" There is almost no intersection between us and him, even if we meet, we say hello, casually say hello, shh ”

"After leaving Xijing, there were almost no opportunities to deal with each other." Shen Haolin agreed with Bai Meng's statement, "Even if you go back to Beijing, it is not a particularly important palace banquet, and it is rare to see the old Chi Pavilion come out and walk around." ”

"You two wait a minute." Shen Cha stretched out his hand and patted Shen Haolin's arm, "I remember you said before that Elder Chi Ge used to give lectures in the East Palace, and Brother Xiao Jue studied with him when he was still the prince. The two of you are Xiao Jue's brother's companions, how can there be no intersection? ”

"Well, it's a long story." Bai Meng glanced at Shen Haolin, and the two of them glanced at each other, revealing an embarrassed smile, "He is indeed lecturing in the East Palace, but it is only for a day or two." ”

"It's true that it's not a long time, but ......" Shen Cha looked at them curiously, "Why did you two react like this?" ”

"Because, in the day or two that Elder Chi Ge lectured in the East Palace, he and His Majesty didn't listen at all, and slept from beginning to end, from day to evening." Shen Haolin snorted lightly, "Uncle finally invited Elder Chi Ge to give a lecture, but the two of them reacted like this, and they were almost angry." ”

"It's really unusual." Shen Cha nodded and looked at Bai Meng with disapproval, "However, it's also your style, what about later?" ”

The old man was so angry that he broke his crutches, and no matter how much his uncle persuaded him, he refused to come to the East Palace again. Uncle had no choice, and he was worried that the old man would be half angry, so he had to give up. However, he didn't spare these two guys, punished them to kneel in the small Buddha hall in the palace, copied the Buddhist scriptures for three days, and gave them a meal and a pot of water every day, in order to let the two of them remember it for a long time. ”

"It's okay not to mention this, but when I mention this, I'm really angry. The first emperor gave us a meal, a pot of water, and punished us for copying scriptures and meditating, and we all admitted it, but the old man in the pond actually fell into the well, thinking that we were too stubborn and should be punished more heavily. ”

Bai Meng also followed Shen Cha's example, found a pillow to hug, put his chin on the pillow, and grinded his teeth viciously.

"Yo, grinding your teeth? How much hatred does this have to be? Shen Cha looked at Bai Meng curiously, "What did he do?" ”

"I suggest that my uncle remove the brazier from the small Buddha hall, so that they can experience what it means to be hungry and cold."

"So ......" Shen Cha was dumbfounded, "Is it so ruthless?" ”

"The most coincidental thing is that it snowed heavily on the night we were locked up in the Buddhist hall, and although Grandpa Guo secretly stuffed us with thick fur coats and hand stoves, it was still very cold. In the small Buddha hall, even if you burn ten braziers, you don't feel warm, not to mention that you don't have a brazier. The two of us fought for three days, and finally the two of us were so cold that we didn't feel anything. ”

"I don't feel anything anymore." Shen Haolin sighed softly, "It was my uncle who personally took the two of them out of the small Buddha hall, and the two of them were already unconscious, and they were lying on the bed for the next half a month." ”

"It's so serious?" Shen Cha looked Bai Meng up and down, "It's really a deep hatred." ”

"Not really!" Shen Haolin sighed, "The high fever does not go away, and the medicine can't be fed, how much you feed and how much you vomit, which makes your uncle, the queen mother, and the old man Bai crazy." In the end, Master Huilan was invited to come out, and the two people were dragged back from the ghost gate in time. Fortunately, they have a thick foundation, and this time they got sick and didn't move their muscles and bones. Otherwise, my uncle would not spare the old Chige. ”

"If you make them seriously ill, you can't let him go!"

"I didn't let him go." Shen Haolin nodded, "Grounded for one month, paid for half a year." ”

"This punishment is still light." Shen Cha was a little unhappy, "It's no wonder that Uncle Shi and Uncle Daiwang don't look down on him, this method is ...... It's really not bright enough, and it's a bit of a villain. ”

"It's really a very small person." Shen Haolin nodded approvingly, "Since then, the two of them have never been to the Little Buddha Hall, and they don't even want to pass there." Even if you have to walk a few extra steps, you will never come close. ”

"It's left a deep imprint on my heart." Shen Cha sighed, "At that time, how old were you?" How old is Ikekaku? ”

"Old ...... Pond Pavilion Not young, also fifty or sixty? As for us, well, we're about four or five years old! Bai Meng's chin rubbed twice on the pillow, "It's the age when people don't want to see dogs, and then when they grow up by two years, they don't toss much." Seeing Shen Haolin squinting at himself, he changed his words again, "I don't toss in the palace anymore, but wander around in Xijing City." ”

"Isn't it more of a headache?" Shen Cha looked at Bai Meng with a smile, "You two are really the Demon Kings of the Mixed World." ”

"Don't get involved with me!" Bai Meng hurriedly waved his hand, "I'm not, I'm forced." However......" he looked at Shen Cha, "since that time, we have basically not seen Chi Ge Lao much, except for the two palace banquets during the Chinese New Year, it is difficult to see him again at other times." ”

"It stands to reason that it shouldn't be, isn't he the dean of Taixue? Don't you usually have to study too much? Shen Cha frowned slightly, "When you are on patrol, you can more or less meet you on the street." ”

"It was only in the last year or two that he moved out of Taixue, and he had been living there before, so it was normal not to touch him."

"I see." Shen Cha nodded, "So, you don't know very well, who he usually has dealings with." ”

"Since he became a minister, the people who have been with him are also his former protégés." Bai Meng spread his hands, "So, he planned these cases, it's really unexpected." What's more......" he stretched out his hand and clicked on the files, "There are still two or three cases that happened when he lived in Taixue, if there were any suspicious people in Taixue at that time, the forbidden army and the patrol battalion would have received the news a long time ago, and it is impossible to delay it until this time to be discovered." Moreover, after the incident, we tried our best to find clues to the murderer, but we found nothing. He looked at the file on the table and sneered, "I didn't expect that this guy's methods are getting higher and higher as he gets older." ”

"The first case was ten years ago in the summer, right?" Shen Cha looked at Shen Haolin, and then at Bai Meng, "Tomorrow I will ask Mr. Qian if Mrs. Teng has ever sent someone or personally come to Xijing in the summer of ten years ago." ”

"You mean ......"

"Hmm!" Shen Cha nodded, "My intuition tells me that Elder Chi Ge is not as he said, and he is completely ignorant of Chi Hong's affairs. ”
