Chapter 92: Magpies
Without waiting for her to think about it, Jiang Wenzhuo pointed the finger at Chu Kun again: "Lord Changshi still doesn't plan to hand over the jade seal?" ”
Liu Ruyan pursed her lips, only Chu Kun knew the whereabouts of the jade seal, but how could she pry his mouth open?
Qi Heng's face changed, he never thought that the ancestral treasures of the Qi family would attract many covetousness: "I still hope that Lord Chu will hand over the treasures, otherwise it will ......"
Chu Kun turned his face sideways and looked at the Qi family master disapplauded.
Qi Heng gritted his teeth: "Otherwise, I'm afraid my lord won't be able to leave Qi's other garden!" ”
Chu Kun's face was gloomy: "You dare to put this official under house arrest?" ”
"Why not?" Qi Heng bowed his hand slightly in the direction of the palace, "You wait for the rebellious ministers and thieves, the lower officials are just doing this to share the worries of the saints." ”
As his words fell, Shen Yanchu waved his sleeves lightly, and a strange wind suddenly set off in the hall, and all the doors and windows closed in response, and Chu Kun was shocked.
"It seems that Lord Chu still can't recognize the situation clearly, Xiaodao might as well mention it a little more." Liu Ruyan opened his mouth quietly
She spoke easily, but Chu Kun was very angry.
He has been in the country for many years, and he has never been so scorned by a little Taoist boy, Chu Kun smiled coldly: "Chu can tell the whereabouts of the jade seal, but whether you can find it or not, you can only rely on your own ability!" ”
"Where's the jade seal?" Jiang Wenzhuo asked urgently.
"Hidden in the forest outside the church."
When Jiang Wenzhuo walked out of Han Moxuan and saw a large area of dense woods, he was dumbfounded, the hundred-year-old trees were lush and green, and the sound of birds and birds came and went.
"Which tree exactly?"
Chu Kun raised his head disappreciably and looked up at the sky above the woods: "It's too dark at night, and this official can't remember it clearly." ”
"You!" Jiang Wenzhuo couldn't wait to split this old fox.
Liu Ruyan walked slowly from behind, took out a pair of slingshots, picked up stones, put on a rubber band, aimed at the flock of birds flying with wings overhead, stretched his arms, and opened the bow.
Everyone else was dumbfounded.
It was only because the stones that shot out were so inaccurate that the birds scattered in all directions, and not even a single feather was shot.
Shen Yanchu stared at her, knowing that she should have a countermeasure.
Sure enough, Liu Ruyan was not in a hurry, and fired his bow at the other birds one after another, and for a while, the birds above the woods were furious, and the chirping sound resounded throughout the sky.
At this time, among the branches, two magpies, a female and a male, poked their heads out, and their vigilant little eyes fell on Liu Ruyan, the initiator, and Chu Kun, who was standing beside her.
In the next moment, the magpie let out a high-pitched chirp, flapped its wings violently, and swooped downward.
She reminded everyone in a timely manner: "If you want to die, stay away from Chu Kun quickly." ”
Chu Kun stood in place with a confused expression, and heard her shout again: "Squat down quickly and protect your head!" ”
Bai Zhi squatted under the tree as she said, covering her head with her hands.
Chu Kun reacted, he was about to make a move, but he saw the magpie gliding rapidly in the sky as if crazy, sprinting, pounced on Chu Kun, the sharp beak kept smashing down, and blood flowed from his face and the back of his hand at first glance.
Liu Ruyan glanced at the female bird in the magpie's nest, and then made a military gesture to Bai Zhi, Bai Zhi understood and secretly went around the tree.
Chu Kun was attacked by a magpie, he hugged his head and ran away, screaming again and again, and the male magpie flapped his wings and chased him relentlessly.
Immediately afterwards, the male magpie raised his head to the sky and let out a series of piercing chirps, and hundreds of birds suddenly chirped in unison over the woods, and countless jackdaw magpies circled from the branches to the sky, and the black pressed one, like a violent storm, swooped down.
Jiang Wenzhuo and Qi Heng had never seen such a formation, and they were at a loss for a while.
Shen Yanchu was unmoved, and when the birds flew closer, he suddenly threw out the silver thread in the ring, and he secretly urged the internal force to disturb the airflow in the air at the right time.
Birds and finches rely on agitating air currents to fly, and when the air currents around them are chaotic, they are all chaotic.
Jiang Wenzhuo and the others took the opportunity to run out of the forest, while Chu Kun, who was surrounded by a flock of birds, was even more embarrassed, he was pecked by the birds, and he gritted his teeth in pain.
Liu Ruyan hurriedly picked up a piece of firewood and quickly lit it, and handed the torch to Chu Kun while expelling the birds.
She came to pursue the jade seal, and how Chu Kun behaved was dealt with by someone else.
Chu Kun hurriedly took the torch, raised it high above his head, waved it back and forth above his head, and stumbled all the way to Jiang Wenzhuo's side.
Jiang Wenzhuo was also shocked, and he blamed with a complaining face: "If it weren't for Lord Chu's private hiding of the jade seal, why would it affect everyone, it's really self-inflicted!" ”
Chu Kun snorted coldly: "Fifty steps and a hundred steps of laughter, each other." ”
In the forest, Liu Ruyan saw Bai Zhi coming down from the tree, and she greeted her quietly: "Did you find it?" ”
Bai Zhi's expression was solemn: "There is no jade seal in the magpie's nest. ”
Liu Ruyan was unexpected.
Bai Zhi continued: "It may have been taken away, but there is also a faint fragrance of resin in the nest, and I seem to have smelled this smell somewhere. ”
Liu Ruyan said in a deep voice: "It seems that I underestimated my opponent." ”
It wasn't until the end that Chu Kun finally relented and told his treasure place, but when Jiang Wenzhuo climbed up the treetops, he found that there was an empty nest left, and the jade seal disappeared again.
Several people had their own thoughts and returned to Han Mo Xuan.
"It's him, it's definitely him!" Chu Kun suddenly said, "That person killed two court officials, and waited for the opportunity to steal the treasure, such a villain, there is no royal law in my capital!" ”
Jiang Wenzhuo remembered that there was another murderer at large, he glanced at Chu Kun and asked, "Lord Chu really didn't see the murderer clearly?" ”
Chu Kun grimaced and twisted to the side.
"I wonder what the real person thinks?" Qi Heng originally wanted to ask Ming Juezi who the murderer was, but his eyes involuntarily fell on Dao Tong.
Liu Ruyan soaked in the well all night, her body had just improved, she rubbed her brows and sat down, and said in a tired voice: "Chuan Lingxiang and the Xu family came over, and the truth can be distinguished." ”
In less than a moment, a maid and a mother-in-law walked in.
As soon as Xu Shi stepped into Han Moxuan, she saw the waterwheel in the hall, her old face turned white, and she pleaded: "The old slave was derelict in his duty and accidentally lost the waterwheel, and I hope that the master of the family will spare this time for the sake of the old slave who is diligent and diligent." ”
Opposite Xu, Liu Ruyan asked in a deep voice: "You don't know what mistakes you made?" ”
The woman raised her head and was slightly stunned: "When the old slave returned to the hospital, he found that the waterwheel was lost for no reason, isn't it for this matter?" ”
She asked again, "Do you know who else is in the car?" ”
Xu didn't understand what she meant.
Chu Kun flicked his sleeves coldly: "Bold poisonous woman, hiding this official in the car with bad intentions, you are not small!" ”
"The old slave doesn't dare." Xu was frightened, she hurriedly appealed to the head of the family, "The old slave and the adult have no grievances, how dare you do something rebellious, please be clear." ”
Although the Xu family is just a handyman in the West Courtyard, Qi Heng is taught by the words and deeds of the old lady, and he will never do anything in vain for people's lives.
He asked Xiang Liu Ruyan: "Could it be something wrong?" ”
Liu Ruyan replied: "That night, Lingxiang passed by Xu's room and saw Xu's sitting at the table and taking shoes. ”
Lingxiang was suddenly startled and hurriedly responded.
"Since the doors of the house are hidden, how do you know she's taking shoes?"
Ling Xiang recalled the meeting seriously, and Fang said: "There is a shadow on the window. ”
Liu Ruyan nodded: "Xu's room, Xiaodao also passed by, and there is a warped head case in the house, with candlesticks, scissors, needles and threads and other things. ”
She raised her eyes and asked Xiang Lingxiang, "Is the Xu family left-handed or right-handed?" ”
Ling Xiang replied without hesitation: "It's the right hand." ”
"That's right." Liu Ruyan smiled suddenly, "That night, the Xu family sat behind the desk, the candlestick was in front, and the needle and thread were on the right, so it stands to reason that the shadow cast by the firelight should also be on the wall behind the Xu family." Unless, Xu has the intention to let others see the shadow and mistakenly think that she is in the house. ”
