Chapter 178: The Hidden Tower in the Lake
At night, the catchers of the Anling County Government were constantly patrolling, and although the night was dark and scary, they could still see the fire of the lanterns in their hands, swaying in the night.
At this time, an ordinary family in the alley on the side had just put a seven-year-old to sleep, and the husband and wife were ready to rest.
"Cui'er, I have to go to bed early tonight, tomorrow morning, I have to rush to Jintai to collect the accounts!" A man said as he wore a wide coat.
"yes, got it." His wife, Cui'er, took off the only wooden hairpin on her head and put it on the table: "It just so happens that tomorrow is the time for the children to worship the master, and after worshipping the master, they will be able to study in a few days." ”
As soon as the husband and wife fell asleep, two or three men in black broke in directly with knives, and without saying a word, they slashed the children in the room next to them with a knife, hitting the vital point and immediately losing their breath.
Hearing the movement, the husband and wife immediately got up, and ran towards the child's house without even having time to put on their clothes.
When her husband Liu Erniu saw his seven-year-old son lying in a pool of blood, he was not half angry.
Seeing this, he directly picked up the scissors on the table and stabbed them at them.
But a few black-clothed people didn't seem to want to hurt him, so they just tied him up with the scissors in Liu Erniu's hand.
And his wife, Cui'er, who rushed to hear the sound, saw that her son was dying and her husband was also tied up, so she picked up the bench next to them and hit them.
The blacks dodged and slashed at Cui'er, and Cui'er fell to the ground.
early morning
The neighbors reported to the official, and the officials came to see the circle and summoned the servants to inspect and collect the corpses.
After a busy time of incense, the room was sealed, and only a murder and disappearance case was committed, and the whereabouts of the murderer were unknown, so there was no follow-up.
At this time, Jiang Yue walked out of the crowd, and when he saw this scene, he couldn't help but feel a pain in his heart, and recalled in his mind what the tribe said to him all the time: The emperor has no way, and the people are miserable!
Oh, yes!
If his biological father, Prince Jian'an, had not been killed, it would be a different situation now.
Perhaps, these people will not be as miserable as they are now.
In the Luoying Garden, the second prince Mo Xuanhua was worried about these things today.
After walking back and forth in the room several times, he still couldn't think of any good way to solve this matter.
For him, this hunt on behalf of the heavens is of great significance, among the many princes, his father, the emperor, who is now the saint, chose him.
Over the past few days, more than a dozen people have disappeared one after another, and no less than 100 people have been killed or wounded, and those who have survived have basically not seen clearly what the murderer looks like, and the confessions and clues provided have not been of any use at all.
At this time, Yin Yunqi walked in with Xiao Chuyun, saluted him respectfully, and stood aside silently.
Mo Xuanhua glanced at the two of them, picked up the file on the table casually, handed it to Yin Yunqi, and said very anxiously: "Recently, people have been missing frequently in the city, just last night, a child was killed by insects, and both parents disappeared, and there is still no clue. ”
Yin Yunqi put it in his hand and glanced at it roughly, and saw that Xiao Chuyunye was very interested, so he asked, "Madame, do you have any opinions?" ”
After hearing this, Xiao Chuyun took a closer look at the dossier, and then asked, "Dare to ask the second prince, are these people who have disappeared recently all young and strong men and women?" Are there elderly people and babbling children? ”
Seeing that Mo Xuanhua's brows were tightly knit and he nodded worriedly, Xiao Chuyun thought for a moment in his heart: "Then how many days have you been checking the population entering and leaving the city?" ”
Yin Yunqi stood aside with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, and watched all this silently, as if it was the past
It is intended to let Xiao Chuyun be in the limelight.
This scene fell into the eyes of the second prince Mo Xuanhua, and he looked at Yin Yunqi for a moment, only to see Yin Yunqi take the file in Xiao Chuyun's hand, and looked at her very dotingly: "Madame, go out and wait for me, and the husband will come later!" ”
Xiao Chuyun silently turned around and closed the door, looked at Chunfang and Bing'er, who were a little sleepy and napping outside the door, and chuckled: "What did you do last night?" So sleepy? ”
Shi Chunfang yawned, rubbed her eyes, and said sleepily: "Say it again!" Bing'er muttered all night, so that I didn't fall asleep. ”
Bing'er said on the side: "Young lady, the slave knows that ...... wrong?"
Xiao Chuyun took their arms and said with a smile without any blame: "What are you blaming for?" Everyone has a little bit on their minds, but I'm curious, Bing'er, what are you bothering about? ”
Bing'er lowered her head, blushing a little shyly, Shi Chunfang tilted her head and grinned: "Nothing else, just a few words for one night: go?" Or not go! Say? Or don't say? Alas......"
Shi Chunfang learned well, and learned Bing'er's sadness and shyness very well, and she wanted to find a crack in the ground to get into.
"Alright, you two go back to sleep! Seeing that you two are sleepy, your eyes are fighting, and you are still here with me, go back quickly! "Xiao Chuyun Dao.
"Nope! We're not leaving! Shi Chunfang and Bing'er shook their heads again and again.
"What is the matter with me not working?" Xiao Chuyun was really distressed when he saw their sleepy appearance: "Xiaoli is outside, Yin Yunqi is inside, there are these two door gods, you two can rest assured!" ”
Xiao Chuyun saw the two of them leave here step by step, and one of them felt bored and walked around the yard a few times.
Seeing that Yin Yunqi never came out, he thought about going out for a stroll and walked to the gate of the courtyard, but Xiao Li just glanced at her, did not stop her, and did not follow.
This scene was expected by her for a long time, this Xiaoli has always looked at her like an enemy and an enemy, and to put it bluntly, it is like owing eight hangs.
While thinking about it, she wandered around, and before she knew it, she came to a small lake, which was about the size of five or six football fields, and there was a three-story building on top of the small lake.
Looking around, I only saw that the door plaque of the small building read: The word "hidden building".
"So this is the Hidden Building?" Looking at this elegant and beautiful small building, I couldn't help but say: "Such a beautiful lake, it really deserves such a building, it's really rich!" ”
At this time, He Miaoxing hid in the dark, watching Xiao Chuyun walking along the edge of the pond, he took out the gravel that had been prepared to take away the moss, and just as he was about to pass, he saw that Yin Chenxing had already walked over.
"Sister-in-law Yaxing, how did you get here?" Yin Chenxing was wearing a blue elegant robe, wearing a mask and standing beside Xiao Chuyun very gently: "What about my brother? Why didn't you accompany your sister-in-law? ”
Xiao Chuyun turned his head and saw Yin Chenxing, who was like a handsome son, and remembered that he had a bad behavior yesterday, so he said with some apologies: "He is talking to the second prince inside, and I will wait for him here." ”
"My brother wants to take over the business of the family's money bank, and second, he wants to entertain His Royal Highness, which is really busy, so sister-in-law should not be angry." Yin Chen Xingdao.
Xiao Chuyun smiled awkwardly but politely, turned to look at the lake, and couldn't help frowning, thinking that Yin Yunqi didn't look like a busy person!
I accompany her when I have nothing to do for a day, for fear that she will lose half a step, especially in the month before getting married, and even more so if you don't go out.
Busy? It's more laid-back than anyone else!
"I have long heard that my sister-in-law is a lay disciple of a Buddhist temple, and she must be proficient in Buddhism?" Yin Chen Xingdao.
"Well, I've been a little nun for a few years, but if I'm proficient, I don't dare to be it, at most, I can only do it
Just read it. Xiao Chuyun looked at the lake and said.
Yin Chenxing looked at Xiao Chuyun's thoughtful appearance, lowered his eyebrows and thought for a moment, and then asked: "Bodhi has no tree, and the mirror is not a platform, there is nothing originally, where is the dust." I have never understood the meaning of these poems of the six ancestors Huineng, does my sister-in-law have any opinions? ”
Xiao Chuyun turned his head slightly and glanced at Yin Chenxing, sighed, and then looked at the calm lake without the slightest waves, but there was no moment of peace in his heart.
After thinking for a moment, he said in a slightly sad tone: "But Buddhism also has a saying: Don't say it." Everyone has a different perspective on this poem when it reads. ”
After a pause, he bowed his head slightly and said: "People say that the heart is like a mirror, and the mirror is the heart, so in my opinion, there are some things that already exist, if you don't touch it, it is in response to the Buddhist saying: emptiness is color, color is emptiness." ”
He Miaoxing couldn't wait to hide in the dark, because if he waited, Yin Yunqi Ke would come out, and then there would be no chance.
Thinking of this, He Miaoxing pretended to be stupid again, anyway, no one would care about her every move of a madman now, walked around the lake, and deliberately walked towards Xiao Chuyun.
"Hee-hee~ The flowers are so good-looking, do you want them?" He Miaoxing looked stupid at the withered flower branches, and said to Xiao Chuyun with a stupid smile: "I'll tell you, this flowering is beautiful, this is a baby, hehehe~"
Xiao Chuyun saw He Miaoxing like this, no matter how big the resentment against her was, it was also embarrassing when she was such a proud girl that day, and she was trapped by someone like this.
"Ahh He Miaoxing suddenly shouted, pointing behind Xiao Chuyun and shouting in horror: "Ghost! The ghost is coming! Ahh
Yin Yunqi walked to Xiao Chuyun's side with very fast steps, looked at He Miaoxing who ran away, glanced at Yin Chenxing with a sinking face, and then turned to look at Xiao Chuyun, his cold face was also full of vinegar and anger.
"Why isn't Madame waiting for me inside, do you feel bored when you walk here alone?" Yin Yunqi took her hand and said coldly: "Or is there anything to see here, which makes Madame want to stop?" ”
"Uh......" Xiao Chuyun looked at his face, and knew that this guy was jealous again, and what was even more scared was that he had just said not to talk to Yin Chenxing too much, but today he was chatting very happily, miserable! It's miserable! Thinking of this, he tugged at Yin Yunqi's sleeve, frowned delicately, and said coquettishly: "That...... You don't know, there was a pair of butterflies just now that were beautiful, and I didn't pay attention...... That's it, hehehe~"
"What about butterflies? Or is it something else? Yin Yunqi said with a dark face.
"Brother, don't blame your sister-in-law, sister-in-law is innocent," Yin Chenxing apologized on the side: "It's my younger brother who doesn't know the etiquette and abruptly abrupt his sister-in-law." ”
Yin Yunqi took advantage of the situation to pull Xiao Chuyun behind him at this time, looked at Yin Chenxing and said extremely unhappily: "Is it? I really don't know? ”
Xiao Chuyun pulled Yin Yunqi's sleeve and begged: "Yin Yunqi, he is really not good, he just said a few more words to me, dissipate his anger!" ”
When Yin Yunqi heard this, the vinegar and anger in his heart were like adding fuel to the fire, and he shook her hand immediately, and the mossy stones on the ground were just stepped on by Xiao Chuyun.
Xiao Chuyun saw that it was useless to be coquettish, so he pouted and pretended to be angry, snorted coldly and turned around and left along the lake.
