Chapter 175: Peeling Back the Cocoon

In the evening, Yan Yingzhou took Ruan Si quietly to Linquan Prison.

Su Yaji was already waiting there.

"Master Su, who did you meet when you came?"

"No, I've been very careful along the way." Su Yaji shook his head and said, "Yanxin pretended to be me and stayed in the room." ”

Although he deliberately dressed up as an entourage, his temperament was outstanding, and it was difficult to hide his bookish spirit.

Ruan Si couldn't help but glance at him.

Yan Yingzhou pressed his wife's curious little head back behind him.

"Okay, Master Su, please come here."

He held a lantern in one hand and Ruan Si in the other, and led Su Yaji to the secret prison where the intestines were closed.

Ruan Si opened the mechanism as he did last time.

A narrow hole was revealed in the corner, so dark that nothing could be seen clearly.

Su Yaji stared at the entrance of the cave in amazement, and said suspiciously: "It's so narrow, I'm afraid that adult males can't pass through." ”

"Well," Yan Yingzhou said, "only petite women or children can pass." ”

If the hole is too large, the surrounding floor tiles will be destroyed a lot, and the moving stone slabs will be easily noticed.

Su Yaji narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "It was the man who was locked up in this prison before, right?" ”

He had met the so-called "Broken Intestine Man".

Although the Broken Intestine Man was small, the skeleton of an adult man was larger than that of a woman, and even he was reluctant to drill this hole.

Yan Yingzhou saw what he was thinking.

"This is the man, but he is different from ordinary people."

Su Yaji and Ruan Siqi looked at him together, and he said slowly: "That person can shrink his bones." ”

"Bone shrinking?" Su Yaji is unheard of.

Ruan Si explained: "It is a long-lost mastery of the Jianghu people, and the cultivators can control their body shape......

She found that she couldn't speak, so she had to say vaguely: "Anyway, it's as soft as a snake, and even the narrowest places can pass through." ”

Yan Yingzhou added: "Most of the thieves on the rivers and lakes are good at this. ”

"You mean," Su Yaji pondered, "the one who is locked up here is a thief?" ”

He's not really a heartbreaker?

The calluses on the man's fingers, the bone shrinking skills that have not yet been completely abandoned, and the details of the past are not clear......

Yan Yingzhou told Su Yaji about the process of his temptation of the Broken Intestine Man one by one.

"Also, I have reviewed the files for nearly a decade and found that there is a thief who has committed several major crimes and has not yet been brought to justice."

"And he disappeared silently, and the head catcher who was in charge of chasing him recalled that the man was proficient in bone shrinking skills, and the last place where he appeared was ......"

Yan Yingzhou paused and glanced at Ruan Si with some concern.

Ruan Si urged: "What kind of place is it?" Husband, don't sell it. ”

"Pei family."

Ruan Si seemed to hear a slight "click" in his head, as if some joint was buckled.

She remembered the scent of osmanthus she had smelled before she fell unconscious......

Su Yaji asked, "Old Master Pei's mansion?" ”

"Exactly," Yan Yingzhou knocked on the wall, "Actually, the Yamen Prison and the Pei family seem to be separated by several streets. ”

"Actually, it's because the gates on both sides open in different directions, and it naturally feels far away when you walk to the other side."

Su Yaji muttered: "I have seen the layout of the city, it seems that the Pei family and the prison are only separated by one street. ”

The street was not wide, and it was entirely possible that the two places could be connected by a tunnel.

He stared at the dark tunnel entrance and hesitated, "Can you send someone down to investigate?" ”

Ruan Sidao: "The last time I went down, there was still a light burning below, and it can be seen that the ventilation in the tunnel is smooth, but this time it ......."

The lights are dark.

Either it was blown out, or the tunnel was completely sealed.

In either case, sending people down will only be fruitless.

Su Yaji seemed to be a little unwilling.

"Yan Sijiao, there is no basis for what I say, I have to see conclusive evidence to make a decision."

Yan Yingzhou motioned to Ruan Si to tell her what she had seen and heard in the Buddhist hall.

Su Yaji frowned at first, and when he heard the "heavy pupils and slight beards", he suddenly opened his eyes wide and stared at Ruan Si.

"Is that true?"

Ruan Si pouted and said, "What am I bluffing you for?" ”

Double pupils?

Rebel against the king first!

He only knew that he had rebelled against the king first, and he was regarded as the appearance of the overlord, but then he died unexpectedly, and the rumors of the overlord were self-defeating.

Ruan Sidao: "I have been away from the capital since I was a child, I don't know who that person is, and I have never heard of anyone who gave birth to heavy pupils. ”

Yan Yingzhou said: "Lord Su, seeing is believing, you might as well go to the Buddha Hall to find out the truth in person." ”

This matter is full of suspicions, and Su Yaji really can't believe it.

He just came down to secretly investigate the corruption case, but he didn't expect to be involved in the "Don't Leave Buddha" organization left by the first rebel king.

"It's a big deal," he said slowly, "What's more, Old Master Pei is an old minister of the Three Dynasties, how can he come to the door to disturb without evidence?" ”

Yan Yingzhou seemed to have calculated that he would say this.

"Master Su, don't forget, I asked Jiang Junshou for a search warrant."

The blank search warrant was stamped with the official seal of the yamen, which was enough to mobilize a group of officials in the yamen to arrest them.

"But to deal with people who don't keep Buddha, it's not enough to be close to a hundred officials."

Yan Yingzhou looked at Su Yaji meaningfully, "Master Su, what do you think?" ”

Su Yaji was speechless for a while.

After returning home, Ruan Si asked Yan Yingzhou, "Can you tell me now, what are you investigating?" ”

She only knew that the truth that Yan Yingzhou was tracking was related to not leaving the Buddha.

For the rest, she wanted to hear what Yan Yingzhou said.

"During the reign of the first emperor, he was called the 'Buddha Emperor' because of his compassionate appearance, and the government and the opposition praised the first emperor as the reincarnation of the Buddha."

Yan Yingzhou sighed and said: "The three words 'no Buddha' are clearly revealed. ”

The first rebel king's right eye was born with a heavy pupil, and there was an example of the overlord of Chu with a double pupil first, he was afraid that he also wanted to learn from the overlord of Chu.

As a result, the first emperor and the first rebel king died on the same day, leaving no Buddhist organization exposed, and the members fled in all directions, suspected of falling apart.

"I didn't expect to see the Buddha's head print in this place."

Ruan Si was in a trance, remembering that Yan Yingzhou was named "Dingbo Hou" in his previous life.

At that time, it was precisely because he killed the evil Jiao and set the storm that he got this title.

No, where did the traitor come from?

Ruan Si suddenly couldn't figure it out, didn't he rebel against the king already go to the ground?

The traitorous king that Yan Yingzhou later killed in the capital was......

She couldn't remember at all.

Yan Yingzhou saw that her face was pale, thinking that she was worried, and comforted her with kind words: "Qiaoqiao, don't be afraid, everything has me." ”

"Husband!" She suddenly remembered something, and grabbed his sleeve, "Is the Pei family too?" ”

If the Pei family is also related to not staying in the Buddha, Rao is with the old lady Pei, and the Pei family will not be able to get rid of it.

Her heart tightened, and she thought of Pei Zhiyang and Hong Aya falling in love......

Yan Yingzhou said frankly: "I don't know. ”

He was more anxious than anyone else to know the truth.

Ruan Si didn't speak, and couldn't help but worry about the future of Hong Aya and Pei Zhiyang.

Today, Mrs. Jiang has ordered a tailor to tailor Hong Aya and prepare to make a new wedding dress for her.

In the early part of next month, Jiang Cong will marry that concubine.

According to Mrs. Jiang's arrangement, before winter, Jiang Cong will take Hong Aya as a concubine.

Aunt Hong had nothing to do, but Hong Aya was uncharacteristically and stayed quietly, like a little quail.

Tomorrow, she will go to Beijing with Pei Zhiyang......
