Chapter 46: Spell Man
Shen Sitang ate the food in the bowl absentmindedly, and Chen Yuean also looked at her absentmindedly.
Suddenly, he sighed, and said with some complaints: "Wouldn't it be okay to go to Huamanlou with me for dinner earlier, you see that you taste the same as chewing wax, why bother?" ”
Shen Sitang glanced at him and sighed.
Chen Yue'an didn't know why: "Why do I think you are disgusting me when you look at me just now?" ”
Shen Sitang put down his chopsticks: "No, how could it be?" Brother Chen use it slowly, I'm full. ”
"That's full? You haven't even eaten it! Chen Yue'an glanced at the barely touched food in her bowl and hurriedly chased it out.
Shen Sitang entered the tea room of Tianji Hall with a heavy heart, and Chen Yue'an followed in and sat opposite her.
"Qianning, do you have something on your mind?"
Shen Sitang was very moved, and said in his heart: You finally saw it!
Chen Yue'an thought for a while and asked curiously, "Did you see anything at the gate of Prince Gong's mansion just now?" ”
Shen Sitang was relieved, approached him and said, "Brother Chen, I have always felt that you are a great hero with justice in his heart, courage and resourcefulness. ”
When Chen Yue'an heard this, he subconsciously sat up straight and straightened his waist: "Of course, I entered the Inspectorate to support justice!" ”
Shen Sitang nodded heavily: "You have done it, but you are still a little far away from the big hero." ”
"How?"
"Have you ever done something earth-shattering in the Inspectorate, that is, the kind of righteous thing that you know you can't do but want to do it."
"This..."Chen Yue'an thought carefully: "It doesn't seem to be there, it's all what the Governor asks us to do, and we will do it!" ”
Shen Sitang approached him again and whispered, "Brother Chen, now there is an opportunity to become a big hero in front of you, do you dare to do it!" ”
Chen Yuean did not hesitate: "What is there to dare to do?" ”
"Do you really dare? In all likelihood, heavy fines will be imposed. ”
Chen Yuean said indifferently: "It's a big deal to punish me for another year, let's say, what chance?" ”
"Brother Chen, do you remember the little Taoist priest we saw in Jingyuan Temple?"
Chen Yue'an nodded: "Remember, he said that he was a personal disciple of Qingfeng Guan Chongde Zhenren, what are you doing in the capital?" Oh I remember, ransom huh? Seems to be talking about his sister..."
Speaking of this, Chen Yue'an's eyes widened suddenly!
Shen Sitang nodded in his shocked eyes: "He is a personal disciple of Qingfeng Guan Chongde Zhenren, it is not unusual for him to sneak into Prince Gong's mansion quietly, he came to redeem his own sister, but he went to Jingyuan Temple to ask for help from the abbot of Yuanming, because the family said that there was no such person as his sister, Brother Chen, in fact, I saw him on the day of the Lantern Festival, he was wearing a black dress and bumped into me, I smelled blood on him, and the Lord of Poria was killed that night." ”
Chen Yue'an swallowed a mouthful of saliva and asked her hesitantly, "You saw him at the gate of Prince Gong's mansion?" ”
"It's... No, I vaguely saw the Taoist uniform he was wearing, but by the time I looked over, he had disappeared, and it wasn't necessarily my delusion. ”
"Nope! Not a delusion! Chen Yue'an took a deep breath: "You have always been sensitive, how could you be wrong!" ”
Shen Sitang stared at him for a while, and finally said her intentions: "So... Do you dare to help me! ”
"You're going to help him? How can it help? ”
Shen Sitang smiled and said as a matter of course: "Naturally, I will help him regain his sister's body, and then help him leave the capital." ”
"Are you crazy?" Chen Yue'an's eyes widened: "He is the murderer of the county lord of Poria!" ”
Shen Sitang disagreed: "Shouldn't the Lord of Poria be killed?" After a pause, she said, "And Brother Chen, can you not stare at the beads at every turn, as soon as you stare at me, you will automatically sing a song in my mind." ”
Chen Yuean subconsciously asked, "What song?" ”
"His eyes are as wide as brass bells..."
"I haven't heard this song, what about the next one?"
"I won't be in the next sentence, anyway, don't you keep staring, don't you know that your eyes are big?"
Chen Yuean was dissatisfied: "What do you know, big eyes are good-looking!" ”
"Yes, yes, it's good-looking, so do you want to help me?"
Chen Yue'an gritted his teeth: "Help!" Sacrifice your life to accompany the gentleman! ”
——
The night was like splashing ink, and the two figures approached Prince Gong's mansion one after the other.
Chen Yue'an lay on the roof and looked at Shen Sitang on the side: "Qianning, are you sure he will do it tonight?" ”
Shen Sitang stared at the patrol guards of the palace, and said softly: "Today's exploration of the palace is tantamount to startling a snake for him, he is afraid that the people of the palace will destroy his sister's body, and he will definitely take action." ”
"Prince Gong is probably waiting for him to fall into the net!"
Shen Sitang lowered his voice: "Brother Chen, have you noticed that the guards of the palace are all wearing armor tonight. ”
Chen Yue'an suddenly said: "Yes, I haven't worn it during the day." ”
"You're right, Prince Gong is waiting for him." Shen Sitang narrowed his eyes and continued: "In other words, in order to force him to show up, Prince Gong will definitely dig up the body tonight." ”
"So what are we going to do?"
Shen Sitang pondered for a moment: "Brother Chen, how many people have you arranged outside the palace?" ”
Previously, Shen Sitang asked him to send someone to keep an eye on Prince Gong's every move, and there must be someone from the Inspectorate nearby at this moment.
Chen Yue'an said: "There are ten people in total, all of whom are prefecture-level martial artists. ”
Shen Sitang shook his head: "Not enough!" She looked at Chen Yue'an with a solemn face: "Brother Chen, we are too passive, I don't know how many masters Prince Gong has arranged, and I don't know where the little Taoist priest is hiding now, his strength will not be very strong, otherwise I am afraid that he would have broken into the palace and robbed the corpse, you have to go back and call more people, as long as they do it, the Inspectorate will have the right to control the situation." ”
"No way!" Chen Yue'an refused without thinking: "I can't leave you here alone, you go back and call someone, I'll watch." ”
"I'm not from the Inspectorate, how can I order them? Brother Chen, you go and come back quickly. ”
"What if something happens? How about I let off an arrow? ”
The arrow is a unique tool for transmitting signals in the Inspectorate, which is similar to the signal flare.
Chen Yue'an touched it in his arms as he spoke, and Shen Sitang hurriedly pressed his hand: "No, that will alarm everyone, Brother Chen, don't delay, go quickly!" ”
"But you..."Chen Yue'an's face was full of worry, and he finally turned around and left, but soon he came back again, lying next to Shen Sitang and asked: "Qianning, if the Inspectorate comes forward, then wouldn't we be able to help the little Taoist escape?" ”
Shen Sitang said confidently: "Don't worry, I have a way." ”
Chen Yue'an trusted Shen Sitang very much, and when he heard her say this, he didn't think much about it, and told her not to act without permission and quickly disappeared into the night.
Shen Sitang stared at Prince Gong's every move, and suddenly she saw Prince Gong leading people into the backyard, and the two masters followed Prince Gong left and right, and several of the guards were still holding shovels and hoes.
Realizing what they were going to do, Shen Sitang cautiously bent his waist and followed.
Prince Gong went straight to the courtyard of the Lord of Poria, the two maids of the Lord of Poria were already waiting, under the angry reprimand of Prince Gong, he pointed to a vacant lot tremblingly, Prince Gong waved his hand, and the guards with shovels and hoes stepped forward to dig up the corpse, the body was not buried deeply, and it was quickly dug up.
It was a palace maid wearing plain clothes, but unfortunately the clothes were already dirty, and the original color could hardly be seen.
At the same time as the body was dug up, a young man in a black nightcoat fell from the wall, holding a handful of charms in his hand, throwing them all, and to his surprise, the charms turned into humans and threw themselves at the corpses on the ground.
