Chapter 241: The Sacrificial Ceremony
Zhou Xiaolin took out a shining gold ingot, "This is the reward fee, I hope you can listen to what my cousin said, and let us talk to this person alone." ”
When the guards saw the gold, they immediately opened their mouths wide and stared at the gold with their greedy eyes, "I'm afraid it's not right!" ”
They didn't dare to accept this gift for a while, after all, this was the princess bribing, and if there was a problem at that time, it would definitely be just their problem, so they didn't dare to move over there and looked at each other.
"Hurry up and take it, if you don't take it, then I'll take it back, and let you stay here without anything." Zhou Xiaolin made a move to take it back.
When the guard who took the lead saw this scene, he immediately relented, ready to gamble, it's okay to join, this gold is developed by several people, and if there is something, he can only say that he is not blessed.
He made up his mind, took the gold, and left the prison with the other guards.
After those guards left, Zhou Xiaolin immediately pushed open the door of the cell and walked in first, "I said cousin, why do you have to pay that silver tael and let the guards leave, didn't you say that we came here to say a few words and left?" ”
She walked into the cell and saw the damp, dark, and dirty ground around her, and her brows furrowed, "This prison is really not for people. ”
Li Huaiyun sat there, "You just knew!" Princess. ”
Zhou Xiaolin pointed at Li Huaiyun with the pen in his hand, "Na! The ingot of gold just now is up to you! Remember to pay me back! ”
"Me? Why? Li Huaiyun looked dazed, "I didn't take out these silver taels." ”
"It's us who came to see you, and it costs money? Of course, you have to ask us, and besides, to get you out, I'm afraid it won't be as simple as spending some money! If you can't do it yet, do something for us. ”
Li Huaiyun tilted his head and looked at Zhou Xiaolin helplessly, "County Lord, do you really have a way to get me out?" ”
"Of course it's not me," Zhou Xiaolin pointed to the wooden kite beside her, "This is my cousin's territory, she should be able to do it." ”
Li Huaiyun immediately got up, looked at the wooden kite, and saluted with fists, "I don't know the princess, is there any way to let me go out and avoid being punished?" ”
Mu Kite glanced back at the county lord with indifferent eyes, "Don't listen to your cousin's nonsense, how can you be responsible for this crime?" Unless...! ”
"Unless what?"
"Make up for it, for example, you investigated my mother's case before,"
"Isn't this the same as my investigation of the water prison case! The merits and demerits are offset, could it be that there has been another case in the palace recently? ”
The wooden kite shook his head, "Not yet!" ”
Li Huaiyun covered his forehead and waved his hand vigorously, "Then what do you say!" Let's go! Let's go! I'll find a way to pay back the ingot of gold. ”
"Just because you don't have it now doesn't mean you won't have it in the future."
Li Huaiyun heard the words in Mu Kite's words, "In the future? Isn't the princess also divinerable? When will something big happen? ”
"Don't count, the sacrificial ceremony will start soon!" Wooden Kite said.
"Sacrifice ceremony?" Li Huaiyun asked, "What's going on?" ”
Mu Kite explained, "It's not these recent days, the Great Zhou is not very peaceful!" Therefore, for the sake of the peace and security of the country, the father came to the sacrificial ceremony a few months in advance. ”
"There are two parts to this battle, first out of the palace, and then to the small temple of Qixing Lake to pay tribute to the ancestors, and three days later, the father will go to the Tianfeng altar outside Kyoto, perform sacrifices, and pray for the Great Zhou Taiping,"
Li Huaiyun hurriedly asked, "How did you know that there would be a problem with the sacrificial ceremony?" ”
Mu Kite explained, "After you went to the Linwang Mansion to make a fuss, I began to monitor every move in the Linwang Mansion with my cousin. ”
Zhou Xiaolin raised the brush and quickly praised me, "The things I painted are vivid, hiding in the trees in the yard, they can't notice at all, I am monitoring the Linwang Mansion, this is quite easy, and I got some news from the mouths of the people in the mansion." ”
Li Huaiyun stretched out his thumb to Zhou Xiaolin, "The county lord is really good, it's really amazing!" ”
Zhou Xiaolin's chin raised Lao Gao, with a smug expression, "That's!" ”
However, Li Huaiyun still had doubts about this, and he grabbed his chin hard and paced back and forth in the cell.
"What's wrong with you? I've told you everything, why are you still worried! Zhou Xiaolin asked.
Li Huaiyun didn't answer, still with a sad face.
The wooden kite on the side said, "He is really worried about how he will get out, if King Lin forcibly asks to dispose of him in the past few days, I am afraid it will be difficult to live to the sacrificial ceremony,"
Zhou Xiaolin said, "He has committed a serious crime now, how can he go out casually." ”
"So if we have to find a way, seeing him like that, he must be worried about something, and we also know that King Lin will take action in the sacrificial ceremony."
Li Huaiyun paced for a long time, then turned his back to them, and looked sharply at the small window on the wall, "I'm not just worried about this, but I'm worried that if I can't stop it in time, it may cause quite serious consequences." ”
"Referring to the last time I investigated the case in the palace, those people collected explosives in order to blow up the sewer pile, fortunately I found out the truth, which stopped their actions, otherwise, the consequences will be quite serious, and they will not give up easily,"
"And this time it's a sacrificial ceremony, quite an important formation, and I'm afraid they will make a bigger move."
"Not to mention that I'm in prison now, even if I get out, I can't necessarily guess what they want to do, so I can't completely sabotage their plans."
After listening to this, Zhou Xiaolin also looked depressed at the moment, she turned her head sideways and looked at the wooden kite, "Cousin, why don't you ask the uncle, can you let this guy come out first!" ”
"Of course not, if it is released, King Lin will definitely know that there is something missing in his plan, and when the time comes, he will definitely check everything."
"But what now? It can't be the same as this guy said, you really have to wait for something to happen before you can make a move, wouldn't that be too passive. ”
"So, we still need to think about it in the long run!" ”
"There's no time to think about it in the long run," Li Huaiyun sighed deeply, "We have to grasp the time now and find out the clues, otherwise we will only have more clueless." ”
"I believe that Si Zheng will come to me soon, and when the time comes, the evidence recorded by that Uncle Liu should know a little bit about it, which can also bring us closer to the truth!"
Li Huaiyun said to the two women, "You have continued to monitor this Linwang Mansion recently, and if there is a situation, let someone send some letterheads to deliver the news, and you don't have to say it in person, so as not to arouse suspicion." ”
"Okay! Wrap it up on me! Zhou Xiaolin patted her erect chest hard.
"When the time comes, I will go to the palace to meet my father, hoping that he will be extrajudicial and gracious." ”
After Li Huaiyun heard that Mu Kite was not in a mouthful, he felt that this father and daughter should release their suspicions, and he finally did a good thing.
"It's difficult to estimate, even if the emperor is willing, King Lin will not agree! After all, I am trespassing on the palace and killing people! And if I let me out, it will not be good, and it will surely arouse the suspicion of the king. ”
"You don't have to worry too much, as long as I am in the prison, I will live well, and if you really want to kill me, I will naturally have a way to escape, and no one can stop me."
Li Huaiyun instructed, "You can do your own thing." ”
"Hmm!"
"That's right! I still have something to ask for," Li Huaiyun clasped his fists at the wooden kite and saluted, "I hope the princess can help me!" ”
"What's the matter?"
Li Huaiyun whispered a few words when he walked to the side of the wooden kite, and Zhou Xiaolin, who was watching it, glared angrily.
"Hey! I'm out there, so I'm sorry...! ”
"Don't talk like that, the county lord, I'm here for safety! The princess will tell you then. ”
The wooden kite looked a little hesitant with a heavy face, "Do you really want to do this?" I'm afraid of my father...! ”
"Just when your father thinks that the medical saint is dead, in fact, your imperial brother has been dead for so many years, I really don't blame the medical saint, the emperor has been holding on to him, and there must be some hidden secrets in it, now that this medical saint is old, he has been in the prison for so many years, and he has been tortured for a long time, and he should find a reason to let him out."
"It's just your one-sided words!"
"Yes, but we should also think about this problem, people come here, in fact, they also want to cure this child, the problem is that he is already seriously ill, and he wants to die a little, my plan can be regarded as fulfilling him, even if the emperor knows, I am afraid he will understand."
The wooden kite glanced around, then nodded slightly.
At this time, the shouts of the guards came from outside the prison, reminding the princess not to stay in the prison for too long, for a princess like the golden branches, the environment is really bad.
Li Huaiyun said goodbye to the princess and the county lord, and then hid in the corner again, "You must remember it, you must not forget it!" ”
After this parting, after a day or two, he was worried again, after all, Si Zheng still hadn't come to him, strange, hadn't he connected the astrological chart and the human skin chess game with each other?
When he was bored, he began to practice his own exercises again.
Now he has finished practicing the inner strength and heart method taught by the old monk, and the essence of his dantian is also greatly improved.
As for the synaesthesia, it needs to be replenished with yin qi, but this place is a big prison, and there are factors such as patrolling, so it is impossible to practice, and the more you get to the back, the more you need a stronger female ghost as the object of cultivation.
Both Shaolin and Luohan Changquan need to fight against strongmen to improve quickly.
The Supreme Fist has reached the realm of perfection, and other changes need to be added, the place is too small to be suitable, and if the prison collapses, it is very likely to be recognized as a threat, and it needs to be low-key.
Hard Qigong has reached the highest level, but when facing a strong enemy, it is still not enough, and it is still necessary to find a more advanced exercise!
I don't know if those monks in Jueming Temple have golden bell hoods and iron cloth shirts in their hands, these relatively strong exercises, or more profound exercises such as vajra body protection!
One of his strongest methods now is the Dharma of the Extreme Eye Vajra, no one is his opponent for the time being, and the biggest feature of this exercise is that it has strong ability and a large killing range.
However, although this Fa is very strong, it can't be cultivated, because I don't know how to cultivate at all, what is the place of Jueming Temple?
Li Huaiyun became more and more curious about this place, and he couldn't wait to go there immediately to find out the truth about himself.
"What are you thinking?" The voice of the priest came from outside the cell.
Li Huaiyun came back to his senses and immediately got up from the ground, and he saw Qin Gang standing outside the cell, pushing the door to the door.
"It's finally here!"
"Are you waiting for me?"
Li Huaiyun said, "Of course, Si Zheng, the astrological chart and the human skin chess game have come to an end!" ”
"There it is!" Qin Gang said, "I searched for a long time before I found one that could calculate this hexagram, and I also told you what you found." ”
"How!"
