Chapter 21: A Wave Rises (2)
Berry sat cross-legged, stretched out her right hand, gently bit her index finger, and used it as a pen to draw a totem on the palm of her other hand. Then, from the luck in the dantian, he came out of the palm of his hand, wrapped the blood-colored totem, flipped his wrist, and aimed his palm at the center of the deceased's eyebrows. The totem rises into the air and slowly injects into the center of the eyebrows.
After a while, blood continued to fly from the center of the eyebrows, floating on the forehead, gradually condensing into a flying butterfly, fluttering its wings, circling the deceased three times, and then flying away. The blood butterfly walked towards the main seat of the hall, dancing on Li Yan's head, and suddenly the butterfly body shattered into dots and scattered around him.
Nanyue's Gu search technique is to use the blood of the royal family as a guide, and use the blood array as an opportunity to pull the Gu poison qi on the host's body and return to the Gu person's body, when the Gu poison qi returns smoothly, the blood array will be automatically destroyed.
Bai Lishan was shocked, as if because she didn't control her breath, a fishy sweetness instantly gushed out of her throat, but in order not to let everyone find out about her abnormality, she endured the discomfort of her body, swallowed it in one gulp, and secretly adjusted her luck.
"Ah, the Gu giver guided by this blood butterfly is the city lord." Bai Lishu looked like he didn't think it was a big deal to see the excitement, and he raised his voice to say, and the words fell, and there was a lot of discussion in the hall.
"Is it really the Gu under the city lord? If so, why would he do it. ”
"I heard that at the lake tour some time ago, the city lord was poisoned, and all the people who participated in the banquet were poisoned."
"So, could it be that the murder of the former city lord has something to do with the current city lord?"
Seeing that the situation was suddenly developing in a direction that was unfavorable to him, Li Yan suddenly frowned into a Sichuan character, and his face was furious, "You are talking nonsense!" ”
Chang Yi, who was standing aside, also immediately spoke out to defend Li Yan: "The former city lord and the city lord have always had a very good relationship, and they are a mother and brother, how could the city lord murder his own brother, you have to talk nonsense!" ”
No, Chang Yi's words not only did not make everyone stop talking about Li Yan, but they discussed it more fiercely.
"Speaking of Deputy Envoy Chen, who was convicted before, that is the good relationship between Zhenzhen and the former city lord, and I have heard that there are often conflicts between the former city lord and the current city lord."
"It's very likely that because the two disagreed, they had the intention of killing."
The scene became uncontrollable for a while, although Li Yan was still sitting, his expression was not kind, his fists were clenched, as if he was about to explode in the next second.
Chang Yi frowned slightly, and was planning countermeasures in his heart, when suddenly he had a flash of inspiration and whispered in Li Yan's ear: "Lord City Lord, the people are too angry at this time, it is not appropriate to fight hard, you might as well commit yourself to the inspection first, or give an explanation to the people, and then I will turn around from it, and now I will pass this pass first." ”
After speaking, Li Yan pondered, and seemed to be unable to find a better way, nodded, and agreed with Chang Yi's statement.
"Since you have doubts about Li, I am not an unreasonable lord, and I am willing to be investigated these days. But Yancheng can't be left without an owner for a day, and before the truth is revealed, all the big and small affairs in the city will be handled by Changyi. Li Yan stood up solemnly and spoke in a stern voice.
Li Yan stepped down from power, and he would not let others take advantage of the loopholes, so he immediately announced that he would let Chang Yi, who he trusted the most, act as the city lord, so that when he returned one day, he could take back his authority. But in fact, people's hearts are separated from their stomachs, and in the face of interests, not everyone can abide by their duties, Li Yan put all the bets on Chang Yi, who can know whether it is right or wrong.
"The lord of the city is really a reasonable and wonderful person, and this son admires it." Bailishu shook the folding fan, as if he unintentionally glanced at Chang Yi standing in the hall, and then pursed his lips and smiled, "It seems that the city lord still has something to deal with, and this world has also seen the excitement, so I will go first." ”
After speaking, Bai Lishu put away the folding fan, slowly walked out, and when he passed by Bai Lishan's side, he paused and said with a smile: "Shan'er has to make up for her body in the near future, and the consumption of this Gu search is not something that can be raised in ten days and half a month." If you hurt your roots, the national teacher will not let you go. ”
"Don't bother with the world." Bai Lishan pulled out a sneer and said lightly. Without waiting for Bailishu to respond, he turned and walked away. Bai Lishu's meaning was well understood, and it was because of this that she didn't want to communicate with him too much.
"Don't say cousin, I didn't remind you, it's not a joke to consume essence blood twice in a month." After speaking, Bailishu glanced at Lin Xiao, who had been standing on one side without saying a word, lightly hooked his lips and smiled, no longer staying long, and left directly.
On the other hand, in the hall, under the command of Chang Yi, two guards left through the side door with Li Yan, while he himself walked to the bottom of the hall, facing the women and people who had redressed their grievances, and said loudly: "This matter will definitely give you a suitable explanation, and the real mastermind behind the scenes will never be allowed to go unpunished." ”
However, as soon as this statement came out, not only the women in the hall, but even the people did not believe Chang Yiyan. The city lord has just been arrested and put on trial, and at this time, a hairy boy who has never heard of a name has emerged, who can believe that a young boy who has not dried up can support the overall situation and administer justice for them.
Seeing the scattered appearance of everyone, Chang Yi also expected it, and after adjusting his emotions, he spoke again: "Chang Yi's family was ruined when he was young, and he was sold to human traffickers at the age of five, wandering around, living a life without food, and even the only sister who took care of me was sold elsewhere soon after. If I hadn't met Eungong when I was ten years old, I would have been afraid that I would have to end up with frozen bones on the side of the road.
You know what it all does? It was a traitor who killed my parents and slaughtered my whole family! What was supposed to be the most carefree day of my life became the last thing I wanted to remember. ”
Chang Yi walked up to the woman at the head, his expression seemed to be a little sad, and he looked at her and continued: "You should also live a smooth life and live happily with your husband and children, but you never thought that your husband was poisoned, his bones were not cold, his knees were waiting to be fed, and there were elders in the family who needed to serve, but as a woman, you had to resist the burden of the whole family!"
Others may not understand you, but I know that since I am now ordered to investigate this matter, I will do my best to help you get justice! It's the fulfillment of my unfulfilled wish back then......"
After hearing this, all the women knelt down in unison, looked at Chang Yi's sincere eyes, and couldn't help but believe that this young man, who was only fourteen or fifteen years old, could administer justice for them, "The women have thanked the adults. "Regardless of the outcome, it's good that someone is genuinely willing to step up.
The original scene of the riot was slowly brought under control. Lin Xiao raised her eyebrows slightly, looked at the young man standing in the center of the hall with interest, and under the denunciation, she knew how to invite with emotion and prescribe the right medicine. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, who would have been able to associate him with the timid little guy he had just seen a few days ago.
After a while, the women were taken down to settle down, and the onlookers saw that the excitement was gone, and they also dispersed in a hurry. In the huge main hall, only Chang Yi and Lin Xiao were left.
"Chang Gongzi is really a good method, but in an instant, he has become the person in charge of this Yan City." Lin Xiao said lightly.
"Second Prince Lin praised it falsely, but he just listened to someone's orders." As if seeing that there were no outsiders around, Chang Yi quickly put away the grief and indignation that he had just shown when he gave an emotional speech, and the fox's tail was suddenly revealed, how could there be a little innocence that a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy should have.
"It seems that the man in black that day was sent by you."
On the night when Chang Yi identified the city lord in person, Li Yan came out of the room with a bloody sword, and today he showed a look of always defending Li Yan and winning his trust. flattered Li Yan on the surface, and stabbed him behind his back.
In addition, the situation in the city lord's room analyzed before - the murder weapon that killed the city lord is not the same as the blood sword that Chang Yi said was brought out by Li Yan. It can be launched, not to mention who did it, but it must not be Li Yan who really killed the previous city lord.
From this point of view, it is this Chang Yi and Chen Ping, who are consistent with Chang Yi's confession. Except that he didn't expect that person to be Chang Yi, Lin Xiao was not surprised by other things.
Chen Ping pretended to take refuge before, wanting to get rid of Li Yan with his own hand, and when he received the list handed over by Chen Ping, Lin Xiao was aware of it. The characters of Nanyue and Dongqi are not the same, and the writing style is also very different, although Chen Ping's words have tried their best to hide the differences, but the taste of Nanyue brought out from the bones can not be dissipated by concealment.
Chang Yi didn't respond, just lowered his eyes and smiled.
"It's just that I don't understand one thing, how did you gain Li Yan's trust and act for the tiger under his nose?" Li Yan has always been suspicious, but looking at today's appearance, Chang Yi has won his trust, and even did not hesitate to put his life in his hands.
"The time, the place, the people, and the harmony." Chang Yi looked at Lin Xiao with a smile on his face and slowly spit out six words.
Lin Xiao suddenly smiled, didn't say anything, and turned to leave.
When Lin Xiao returned to the master bedroom of the Lin Mansion, he saw Yu Zijin lying on the soft collapse in the small courtyard, wearing a water-blue skirt and a pure white big-sleeved shirt, with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, his eyes half-narrowed, leisurely enjoying the warm sunshine.
Two yellow saucers happened to dance around Yu Zijin, a few dead leaves fluttered down to the treetops, and a small finch fluttered up from the forest.
Different from the heroic spirit of the jacket and men's shirt when I first saw him, Yu Zijin in front of him exuded a soft atmosphere, as if he was integrated with the surrounding flowers and grasses, the breeze and the warm sun. For a while, Lin Xiao couldn't bear to destroy this harmonious picture, and stood in place.
"Master!" Shi Rong hurried over, not noticing the haze that flashed on his master's face after being interrupted by him.
"What's the matter?" Lin Xiao's voice was faint, slightly displeased. glanced at Yu Zijin, who was awakened from the "painting" due to Shi Yi's arrival, frowned slightly, and when he saw her happily greeting him, he stretched his brows and hooked his lips and smiled.
