Chapter 218: Clues
Zhuangyuan Building, sit by the railing, watch the wind and rain drift away, see the vastness of the world.
Daoist Qingyun and Chen Jianchen sat face to face, the corner of his eyes occasionally drifted to the back, and fell on Ying Ning, who was standing behind Chen Jianchen, and there were complicated emotions in his heart.
Coquette!
Although his cultivation is not as good as that of Ying Ning, with the teaching techniques of the orthodox Daomen of Laoshan, he still knows the identity of Ying Ning's fox spirit at a glance.
I haven't seen him for a long time, and Chen Jianchen actually accepted a fox spirit as a scholar, which is a bit incredible.
Originally, Daoist Qingyun thought that Chen Jianchen didn't know, so he nervously pulled him aside and whispered. But Chen Jianchen didn't hide much, and told him openly and honestly.
After hearing this, the Taoist chief was surprised inexplicably—accepting demons as subordinates and serving as envoys was something that some cultivators who had mastered great magical powers liked to do.
The problem is that Chen Jianchen is not a cultivator at all. He was able to let a fox who cultivated as a golden pill carefully and willingly accompany him, could it be that he relied on righteousness?
The end is an aggressive thing.
However, Dao Chang is not an ordinary person, he quickly adjusted his emotions back, and looked at Chen Jianchen's eyes, which suddenly became a little more meaningful. Thinking back to the time when they met, Chen Jianchen at that time was just an ordinary scholar and talent. Time has passed, and this son has been righteous and has great power.
"The Taoist came to Jiangzhou this time, did he come to me on a special trip?"
Chen Jianchen asked.
Daoist Qingyun replied, "That's not it...... In fact, Uncle Poor Dao is also in Jiangzhou now. ”
"Uh, the chief of Guanghan is here too?"
Chen Jianchen was pleasantly surprised, and he had a good impression of the Taoist priest who behaved perversely. Last time, the other party also cast a spell and gave him a longevity peach in the name of congratulations.
Qingyun Dao said: "We only entered the city yesterday. ”
Chen Jianchen pondered for a moment, and suddenly asked, "Is there something going to happen in Jiangzhou?"
Daoist Qingyun hesitated for a moment: "Young Master Chen, there are some words that are poor but it is not easy to tell them directly, I hope you will forgive me." ”
Chen Jianchen said: "In this case, it must involve privacy, but I am reckless." ”
Daoist Qingyun smiled silently.
"It's just, what did the Taoist chief come to me for?"
"Ask Childe to write a picture. ”
"Huh?"
Chen Jianchen was stunned and looked at him suspiciously.
Qingyun Dao Chang stroked his long beard with his hand and said: "This is the meaning of Uncle Poor Dao, the son has righteousness in his pen, so he specially sent me to ask you to write a word." ”
Before that, whether it was Qingyun or Guanghan, they were very friendly to Chen Jianchen, and in jargon, it was called "forming a good fate".
Now that the other party came to ask for words, Chen Jianchen did not allow it, so he smiled and said: "How can there be a reason to refuse the invitation of the Taoist chief?" and asked: "What are the requirements for this character?"
Qingyun replied: "There are no requirements, three or five words are fine, and one word is fine, but according to the son's wishes, he is free to play." ”
"Now?"
"Right now. ”
At that moment, Chen Jianchen no longer hesitated, and Ying Ning in the back took out the four treasures of the study from the book - this blood sandalwood book, since it was in her hands, it can be said that it has been used to the fullest, and it has completely exerted its effect as a magic weapon. It's like a unique cave space, in addition to the basic four treasures of the study, there are also a lot of other things.
Qingyun Dao Chang is a monk, and he feels the mana fluctuations from the blood sandalwood book, and he knows that this thing is extraordinary, and he can't help but feel a little envious in his heart. I thought that Chen Jianchen had this thing, it must be the result of another opportunity.
Move an empty table from the side and spread out the pen, ink and paper.
Chen Jianchen pondered for a while, raised his wrist, and wrote two lines of poetry on the paper, seven words: Where is the Taoist priest who planted peaches?
Fourteen big characters, full of words, which are full of righteousness.
Regarding the matter of Uncle Shi planting peaches on the streets of the city, Daoist Qingyun knew about it, and understood that Chen Jianchen had something else to refer to, so he took a look at it and said: "Thank you for the words of the son, when the poor road came, Uncle Shi had a word, and he would have something to return in the future." ”
Chen Jianchen said with a smile: "The Taoist is polite, some small things, not enough to worry about, why do you need anything in return?"
Qingyun Daoist didn't delay for long, and after saying two more gossips, he took his leave, and when he walked to the door, he suddenly looked back and said, "Chen Gongzi, Poor Dao has a word to give." ”
"Please advise. ”
"The dragon comes out of the water for thousands of years, and the wind and clouds are unpredictable. ”
After groaning, the bell rang and he went downstairs, gradually becoming inaudible. ...,
Chen Jianchen chewed on the two sentences he left in his mouth, but he didn't know what they meant.
Looking at Ying Ning, Ying Ning said with a smile: "Childe can't understand, and I can't do it anymore." ”
Chen Jianchen shrugged: "Okay, the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge." "Daoist Qingyun came to ask him to write, he should want to use his righteousness to do something, anyway, it won't be a bad thing.
At that moment, he and Ying Ning left the Zhuangyuan Building and went straight to the academy.
At noon, Wang Fu, who had returned from visiting the prison, came to the door, sighed, and said that in prison, Xiao Hanfeng was so sad that he was lying inside like a dead snake, and he didn't respond for a long time, and he didn't ask for any valuable news.
Regarding Xiao Hanfeng's state of "no love", Chen Jianchen has already been a little psychologically prepared - although Xiao Hanfeng has a cheerful personality, after all, he is just a scholar who has never experienced any scenes, and he suddenly encountered a catastrophe and became a death row prisoner, which was like a bolt from the blue, and he was stunned all of a sudden, and his psychology and spirit inevitably collapsed, like a walking corpse, and he had no hope and meaning of survival at all.
Chen Jianchen can understand this, it is not that Xiao Hanfeng's psychological endurance is too bad, people face great changes and difficulties, how many people can really face it calmly? Not to mention in this old-fashioned world, let's just say that in the previous life, the news that students jumped off the building and committed suicide after failing the college entrance examination also happened from time to time.
Xiao Hanfeng is not as simple as his fame being cut now.
Wang Fu asked, "Liuxian, is there any hope for Han Feng?"
Chen Jianchen said: "It's not clear yet, let's do our best, maybe there will be a turnaround." "With the current situation, it is impossible for him to let it out and say it to the fullest.
Wang Fu's expression was gloomy, but in his heart he believed that Xiao Hanfeng was dead. Neither he nor Chen Jianchen had any way in the government, so how could the prefect Xu be allowed to retry the case? Originally, Wang Fu still hoped that Chen Jianchen would beg Gu Xuezheng, but if he thought about it carefully, this path was also very slim.
There was nothing to do for a day, but the wind and rain did not stop. Under this torrential rain, which is rare in decades, not to mention the bursting of the embankment of the Jianjiang River, even some low-lying places in the city of Jiangzhou were flooded.
At night, the rat demon Xiaoyi, who was responsible for going out to find out the news, came back, and it really lived up to expectations and brought back an exciting piece of news:
"Childe, Xiaoyi has already found out that there was indeed someone else who broke into the Bian family that night. ”
Chen Jianchen was overjoyed: "How did you find out?"
The rat demon smiled: "Of course it's my method, as the so-called human beings are humane, rats have rat ways...... Seeing that the child's face was not good, he didn't dare to talk nonsense, so he immediately turned to the topic and talked eloquently-
It turned out that after listening to Chen Jianchen's explanation, the first stop of the investigation was to Bian's house, and summoned the dog in the Bian's family's nursing home for questioning.
This rat demon is a bit famous, it knows that its talent is not high, its ontological qualifications are not good, and it lacks perseverance, so it is difficult to become a great way, so it simply carries forward other interests and specialties, and has mastered some strange tricks-
Beast language is one of them.
Man has words, and beasts have beast words. Speaking of which, it is a natural instinct of demons, and Ying Ning is also good at it, but it is not as proficient as Xiaoyi.
Xiaoyi's level of beast language is quite high, and the technical content is not said, whether it is tigers, leopards, rabbits, wolves, cats, dogs, chickens and ducks, they can communicate with each other.
On the night of the murder, the dog in the Bian family's nursing home found the murderer and barked wildly. To some extent, this dog is an eyewitness. However, it is difficult for a dog to testify in court, and besides, it has no way to go up, the murderer has escaped, what can a dog like it do?
It's not a dog demon.
It was already a dead end, but fortunately, there was a small righteousness.
There are strange soldiers available under his command, which is exactly where Chen Jianchen dares to promise ten days to find clues in front of Xu Zhifu and Gu Xuezheng, otherwise he will talk empty words and provoke others to laugh and be generous, where would Chen Jianchen make such a low-level mistake?
Sending Xiaoyi out to do the first phase of reconnaissance and search work, in fact, Chen Jianchen was still a little apprehensive, and he didn't know if it was feasible or not. Now it turns out that he has been overthinking, and Xiaoyi's work has been done beautifully!
That dog was a female dog, with a very vulgar name, called "Wangding", but it was given by the Bian family. He has no children under his knees, and only has a daughter, so he uses this name to call the family dog, and the "prosperous wealth" has a "meaning" that reflects each other.
Through the information provided by Wangding, Xiaoyi probably knew the murderer's physical appearance, fat and rude, which was completely inconsistent with Xiao Hanfeng, and it was easy to conclude that the murderer was someone else.
After listening to Xiaoyi's narration, Chen Jianchen fell into deep thought: the opening of this case has been opened, and the next step is to find the real murderer.
It's a pity that ordinary domestic dogs are uncivilized, don't have much wisdom, have limited cognition, and can only recognize people by instinct, unless they get along with the murderer in close proximity, otherwise it is impossible to recognize.
It's just that the murderer escaped early, and his physical characteristics are not perfect, which is a very tricky thing.
Xiaoyi said: "Since it is determined that the murderer is someone else, then Xiao Gongzi is innocent, it is better to ask the government to release him." ”
Chen Jianchen smiled wryly: "Where is it so easy?"
If you lead a dog to the court, let it bark a few times, and translate it, it will say that Xiao Hanfeng is innocent, and he is not the murderer...... I was afraid that Governor Xu would be angry immediately, and immediately ordered the officials to beat Chen Jianchen and the dog who testified with a stick.
Therefore, only when the murderer is really found, can there be enough certainty to overturn the case.
