Knowing that she was speechless, the little girl glanced at Bai Qiurui hesitantly, and then closed her mouth tightly and stopped talking.

Bai Qiurui got the answer she was thinking about, and she didn't continue to talk.

When she was dressed and tidied up, at first glance she was a delicate and graceful young man, handsome and smart.

The fair little face and petite figure are very eye-catching.

The little girl dressed up very well for Bai Qiurui, although Bai Qiurui's figure looked petite, but this dress will definitely not make people suspect that she is a woman dressed as a man, at most she is ridiculing like a little white face.

As soon as Bai Qiurui went out, Gu Yi was the only one standing outside the door, and the other party saw her dressed up, and her eyes lit up.

"White girl, you are dressed like this......"

Gu Yi was halfway through his words, and suddenly laughed: "It really looks like a little white face." ”

Bai Qiurui: "......"

"Gu Gongzi, why are you alone?"

Bai Qiurui didn't see Shen Yuan around, so she asked curiously.

Gu Yi reluctantly stopped the narrow smile on his face, and then explained to her, saying that it was just a matter of the guards who had returned, and Mrs. Zhenbei Hou personally came to the door to ask for something.

"Zhenbei Hou?"

Bai Qiurui asked in surprise when she heard this name, she remembered that she had only read the case about the Qinglong Army this morning, and it mentioned the Hou of Zhenbei.

Gu Yi motioned for Bai Qiurui to follow him, and the two walked towards the lobby of the Criminal Department together.

"Yes, Mrs. Zhenbei Hou came to the door in person, and I don't know what it is."

Gu Yi said as he walked: "However, if you want to come for a while, they should finish talking." ”

Walking to the door of the lobby, Bai Qiurui happened to see a richly dressed woman coming out of the door, seeing that the other party's appearance and skin were well maintained, and there were no traces of time.

There was also a girl beside the woman, dressed in yellow clothes, the master and servant didn't notice Bai Qiurui and Gu Yi, and the two walked straight towards the door.

Looking at the other party's temperament and body rhyme, Bai Qiurui can also see that it must be Mrs. Zhenbei Hou.

watched the other party's figure leave, and when Bai Qiurui came back to his senses, he saw Shen Yuan also come out of the lobby.

Looking at him, his expression was a little unpleasant, Bai Qiurui was just about to speak, but Shen Yuan suddenly looked up at her.

The moment their eyes met, Shen Yuan's eyes paused slightly.

Bai Qiurui changed her clothes, and now she looks at the charm of her original feminine elegance, and her extraordinarily moving face has been dressed up like this, and there is a kind of indisputable beauty.

"What does Lord Shen think?"

Gu Yi looked at Shen Yuan as soon as he was next to him, and naturally he didn't miss the look in his eyes.

originally thought that he could see Shen Yuan's dodging gaze, Gu Yi was waiting to tease him, but the other party withdrew his gaze as usual.

"Let's go."

Shen Yuan opened his mouth lightly and walked towards the gate, Gu Yi saw that he ignored him, and immediately followed reluctantly, chasing Shen Yuan for him to evaluate.

Bai Qiurui felt that she was dressed properly, and when she saw Shen Yuan move, she immediately followed.

"I saw Mrs. Zhenbei Hou coming out of the lobby, her expression seemed to be a little anxious, what happened?"

At this juncture, King Ning is involved in the case, and the Zhenbei Hou Mansion, which has always been good friends with King Ning's Mansion, doesn't know what kind of faction it is.

Shen Yuan didn't answer Bai Qiurui's words immediately, at this moment, the three of them had already walked outside the mansion gate, and a carriage was parked outside.

When the three of them entered the carriage, Shen Yuan knocked on the carriage door.

As the car swayed slightly, the carriage moved slowly.

"The eldest lady of the Hou Mansion in Zhenbei, Wei Yingshu, was missing seven days ago."

Shen Yuan sat in the carriage, and his voice was his usual cold and indifferent appearance.

"Mrs. Zhenbei Hou wants you to help find someone?"

Gu Yi looked at Shen Yuan and said with some surprise: "I heard that Wei Yingshu, the eldest lady of the Beihou Mansion in this town, is one of the best beauties in Kyoto, and she is even more proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting." ”

Bai Qiurui was also a little surprised, she didn't expect the eldest lady of the Zhenbei Hou Mansion to disappear.

There was a flash of thought in her head, Bai Qiurui didn't catch it, she always felt that this matter was a little strange, as if there was something important that she had forgotten.

As Shen Yuan explained the story in detail, Bai Qiurui also roughly knew the whole story.

Zhenbei Hou Mansion and Ning Wangfu have always been good friends, so Wei Yingshu, the eldest lady of Zhenbei Hou Mansion, and the county lord of Ning Wangfu naturally have a good relationship.

The two have been friends since childhood, and they will move around each other from time to time, and it is common for them to stay for a while.

Just seven days ago, Wei Yingshu said that she wanted to go to Ning Wang's Mansion for a walk, and after giving her a farewell, Mrs. Hou Ye went out with her personal maid.

Until that night, Wei Yingshu still didn't come back, and the people in the Hou Mansion thought that she was resting in Ning Wang's Mansion, so they didn't care.

It wasn't until three days later that Ning Wangfu was involved in the case, and the Marquis of Zhenbei wanted his daughter to come back in order to avoid suspicion.

I didn't know that I sent someone to King Ning's mansion, but I learned that Wei Yingshu had never come at all.

When Mrs. Zhenbeihou heard this, she fainted on the spot, and Zhenbeihou immediately sent people to look around.

But I searched for four days in a row, but there was no trace of it.

In the end, in desperation, Mrs. Zhenbei Hou had no choice but to come to the door in person and ask Shen Yuan to help check it.

Gu Yi said: "Could it be that the eldest lady of the Hou Mansion was on the way to Ning Wang's Mansion and suffered an accident?" ”

Shen Yuan shook his head: "The only useful news that the Marquis of Zhenbei found out, Wei Yingshu left the house, so he asked the coachman to change the distance to King Ning's Mansion and went out of the city instead. ”

"Wei Yingshu is out of the city? Didn't she lie to Mrs. Hou in the first place? ”

Shen Yuan nodded and didn't speak, and at an angle that Gu Yi didn't see, he moved his gaze to Bai Qiurui, who had always been silent.

The little woman opposite has been silent since she got into the carriage, her clear eyes are fixed on her feet in a daze, her face is serious and distracted, and her eyebrows are frowning.

I don't know what she's thinking.

Gu Yi had been thinking about Wei Yingshu's possible movements, and he teased: "Could it be, which poor boy did this eldest lady of the Hou Mansion fall in love with, and finally eloped for her lover?" ”

Shen Yuan retracted his gaze and glanced at him: "Out of the city is a barren mountain, except for a few hunters, only the temple remains." ”

His words suddenly made Bai Qiurui, who had been silent, have a flash of inspiration.

"I have a guess."

Bai Qiurui came back to her senses from her daze, and she looked at Shen Yuan: "I guess, the eldest lady of the Zhenbei Hou Mansion may have gone to the temple." ”

Gu Yi suddenly smiled and said meaningfully: "Isn't it the eldest lady, she accidentally burned incense to worship the Buddha, and fell in love with which eminent monk in the temple?" ”

Bai Qiurui didn't answer Gu Yi's guess that sounded very unreliable, she looked at Shen Yuan and asked, "Miss, is she going in the direction of Nanyue Temple in the southern suburbs?" ”

Shen Yuan's dark eyes looked at her, and in the next second, he nodded slowly.

From Shen Yuan's eyes, Bai Qiurui saw that the other party had the same idea as her.

From the moment she got into the carriage and heard Shen Yuan speak, Bai Qiurui was very curious.

She always felt that something flashed in her mind, but she couldn't grasp it when she thought about it, until Shen Yuan mentioned that Wei Yingshu had left the city and gone to the suburbs.

After thinking about it carefully, Bai Qiurui suddenly came back to her senses, didn't Mrs. Hou say seven days ago, wasn't it the day she was invited by Han Muze to go to Nanyue Temple!

Wei Yingshu went out on the pretext that she went to King Ning's Mansion, but after leaving home, she directly changed her route and went to Nanyue Temple.

What are the reasons for this?

Did Wei Yingshu know early on that Princess Ning would also go to Nanyue Temple that day?

Otherwise, how could it be so coincidental to choose the same day and go to Nanyue Temple together.

However, thinking about it carefully, it seems that there is no need for Princess Ning or the county lord to inform Wei Yingshu about going to Nanyue Temple.

Bai Qiurui didn't want to link the two things with the disappearance of Wei Yingshu, the eldest lady of the Hou Mansion in Zhenbei, who went to Nanyue Temple to offer incense at the invitation of Han Muze.

However, her intuition told her that these two things were not a coincidence.

There must be some connection between the two.

Gu Yi raised his eyebrows when he heard this: "Nanyue Temple? Isn't that a coincidence? Let's wait by the way to investigate the case of the eldest lady of the Hou Mansion. ”

"By the way?"

Bai Qiurui opened her mouth suspiciously, and the next second she suddenly came back to her senses: "We are going to Nanyue Temple now?" ”

"yes, yes."

Gu Yi nodded inexplicably, and then suddenly asked, "You won't ...... Don't know where we're going, do you? ”

"I ......"

Bai Qiurui's words were stuck in her throat, and she really couldn't find an excuse for a while.

This was really an accident, she just wanted to follow the case to the Chaning Palace, but she didn't think to ask where she was going.

If it weren't for Gu Yi's reminder, he would have forgotten about this stubble.

Previously, she had been thinking about what kind of fireworks and moon place she should go to after changing into a man's dress.

As a result, I actually came to the temple.

It was probably Shen Yuan who knew that she had been to the temple last time, and she was in some danger. Just to be on the safe side, let her disguise.

Bai Qiurui remembered her extraordinarily outstanding appearance, and she was indeed a little worried that the monks of this temple would recognize her at once.

After thinking about something in her heart, Bai Qiurui suddenly remembered something.

Investigating the case of King Ning's Mansion, why did a temple come to it?

"If you want me to say, it's really a shame that there is something wrong with this temple, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to show up in time to save you last time with Shen Dagongzi."

Gu Yi didn't wait for Shen Yuan to explain, he took the lead and said: "Since that ghost soldier murder suddenly disappeared, Shen Dagongzi took a lot of effort to suddenly find out about this Nanyue Temple. ”

Bai Qiurui was surprised: "Could it be that there is something wrong with this Nanyue Temple?" ”

Gu Yi nodded tightly: "You're right, it has a big problem." ”

As he spoke, he glanced at Shen Yuan. With the permission of the other party, Gu Yi explained to Bai Qiurui what happened to the last time they appeared in Nanyue Temple.

It turned out that since the murderer appeared in Ning Wangfu, the ghost soldiers suddenly disappeared without a trace, and Shen Yuan has not slackened, secretly investigating all available clues.

Eventually, he found out about Nanyue Temple.

The temple was built five years ago in the southern suburbs of Kyoto. Since the day it was built, it has been a cold feeling for pilgrims, and the incense is not prosperous.

It's just surprising that even if the incense is not vigorous, this temple has never been abandoned, and it has always maintained its original appearance, and there are only a lot more monks.

Shen Yuan asked people to squat in Nanyue Temple, and found that the mountain behind their temple seemed to have a cave, so he brought people to check it on that day.

Bai Qiurui knew it, but in her heart she wanted to know what she had found in the back mountain of the temple.

Just as they were about to ask, the three of them had already arrived at the place as they spoke.

When Bai Qiurui got out of the carriage and saw the outrageously long staircase again, she was distressed.

Although she said that as long as she could get rid of the marriage contract of King Ning's mansion, she would climb in front of the Bodhisattva to burn incense.

However, it is not necessary for her to climb again.

Seeing that Shen Yuan and Gu Yi were both standing beside him, Bai Qiurui sighed silently, just climb.

Fortunately, her ankle injury has healed, and now she only feels tired when she climbs the stairs, but her foot does not hurt.

If you want to ask Bai Qiurui what she hates to do when she comes to this world, it must be going to Nanyue Temple to burn incense and climb the stairs.

Shen Yuan took the lead, Bai Qiurui followed in the middle, and behind her was Gu Yi.

Along the way, Bai Qiurui wanted to stop and rest several times.

The last time she climbed the steps, because there were many female dependents, everyone rested a few times along the way.

Now that she is following Shen Yuan and Gu Yi, two big men, even if she wants to mention a word of rest, she is embarrassed to say it.

After all, the current situation was forced by herself.

Shen Yuan's steps have always been steady, even if he climbs the long steps, he still has the same steady pace, and his movements are unhurried.

When Bai Qiurui looked up, he could only see his tall back and his slender legs.

She thought a little angrily in her heart, isn't this man tired, climbing the steps is like strolling in the courtyard, it's just more human than human, and it's infuriating.

It wasn't until she tasted the soreness of her legs and knees for the second time, and her calves couldn't stop trembling, that Bai Qiurui followed Shen Yuan to stand in front of the temple gate of Nanyue Temple for the second time.

At a glance, the two monks from last time were still standing at the entrance of the temple, and the position of the two people had not changed.

These two monks were probably standing at the door and were in charge of guarding the door, and Bai Qiurui followed behind Shen Yuan, lowering her head intentionally or unintentionally, trying not to show her face.

The two monks didn't seem to recognize Bai Qiurui, so they bowed as usual, and then invited them in.

This time, the monk was replaced, and he was younger than the monk above.

"Do the donors burn incense and pray first, or go to the wing room to rest for a while?"

The monk held the Buddha beads in his hand and held the Buddha ceremony in his hand, both in speech and behavior, he was very courteous.

Bai Qiurui looked at it without a trace, but didn't find anything wrong.

If there is something strange about this Nanyue Temple, then these monks should also have some suspicious appearances.

Shen Yuan directly said that he was going to incense after the monk spoke, and then Bai Qiurui and Gu Yi followed the monk to the Daxiong Treasure Hall.

The last time she came over, Bai Qiurui was absent-minded and didn't pay much attention to the environment of the temple, but this time she knew that Nanyue Temple was strange, so she naturally began to observe the surrounding situation.

Unexpectedly, when she looked at it like this, she didn't see any difference, but let her inadvertently see a familiar person.
