Yan Jie lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then slapped the startled wood again, and said slowly: "It's okay." In this case, the right to take Shen cuttlefish into custody first, and then call the monk of Kongxuan, and then ascend to the hall for inquiry. Left and right, escort him down, and retreat!" With that, he took his belt and walked quickly into the back hall.

The officials on both sides still had some scruples, thinking that Shen cuttlefish had easily hit eight brothers in front of the yamen, and they all had palpitations and did not dare to step forward. It can be seen that Shen cuttlefish is depressed, stunned, motionless, and doesn't know what to do. Instead, Pei Jingnian walked down the hall and said to the left and right: "Didn't you hear the words of the adults clearly? ”

"Yes!" The officials saw that Pei Jingnian was protecting him, and he was definitely fine, but they didn't dare to forcibly detain Shen Cuttlefish, so they had to invite him into a cell. Shen Cuttlefish is also quite cooperative, he knows that he has a clear conscience, he has a bottom in his heart, he is not afraid of being framed and wronged, and he also believes that justice is in the hearts of the people. Until the door of the cell was closed, he was still in a trance.

While sitting on the messy cold straw, Shen Cuttlefish didn't expect that he would be locked in a cell one day. Across the door, Pei Jingnian said to him earnestly: "Shen Gongzi, you can stay here for a while, I believe that my lord will find out about this matter." ”

"Hmph. Pei Zhutou, I never expected that this Anhuai Mansion would be such a place. The dignified lord of the mansion Yin indiscriminately branded the plaintiff as a defendant and framed him, I advise you, or take off the plaque hanging by the mirror as soon as possible, so as not to lose the face of the court. Shen Cuttlefish sneered.

Pei Jingnian was speechless for a while, and had nothing to say, so he could only prevaricate: "I will ask the adults to intercede for you...... I have already explained to the brothers in prison, Shen Gongzi, don't worry, they won't embarrass you. ”

Shen Cuttlefish still didn't know what the purpose of this Pei Jingnian was, and whether it was a good deal with that Yan Festival, so he didn't dare to trust her completely, so he had to sigh and said: "So far, thank you Pei Zhutou for bothering." ”

After Pei Jingnian left, Shen Cuttlefish sat cross-legged in the prison alone, looking at the extremely high window, quite a feeling of being locked up in the practice room of the Shen Mansion, familiar and calm. Shen Cuttlefish didn't know that at this time, he had completely opened up another meridian acupoint, so that even if he made a mistake, he could play the first form of the frost and snow flying sword finger at will.

Hurriedly took out the snow scroll, but before he opened it, he remembered his father, mother, relatives, and a family of seventy-one people who all died because of this book, and couldn't help but feel sad, his body trembled, his fists clenched, and he resolutely put away the snow scroll properly, knelt up, and kowtowed three times in the direction of the Shen Mansion.

When I looked up again, I was already in tears. Shen cuttlefish gritted his teeth and said word by word: "Dad, mother! the child doesn't know what to do...... The child is wrong...... The child will never look at this snow scroll in this life, and he will never practice this snow scroll again...... Ask my father and mother to protect the child in the spirit of heaven, get out of prison as soon as possible, find the enemy, and avenge my father and mother......"

At this time, Pei Jingnian, who was in the back hall, was talking to Yan Jie about the Shen cuttlefish. Pei Jingnian was puzzled and asked: "Why is your Excellency so reckless in the public court today, this case is extremely strange, and there are still doubtful points, why did you hastily convict that Shen cuttlefish? Besides, he was originally a bitter master, since ancient times, how could he have made the bitter master a defendant? If it is really a combination of him inside and outside, what is the motive? And why did he come to report the case?"

Yan Jie glared at her coldly, and Pei Jingnian realized that he had lost his words, and hurriedly bowed down and hugged his fists and said: "The subordinates have lost their words, please condemn the adult." ”

"In the year of the mirror, you are a woman, and according to the law of this dynasty, you are not allowed to serve in the government. But this mansion reads that you are dedicated to the country, and your martial arts are strong, and you are a material that can be made, so I will open up to you. You have been in the government for many years. But the government left you by your side to listen to it, because you never discounted your mission, and you didn't come to ask you to talk back to me, and the government has its own arrangements for this matter, so you don't need to say more. Yan Jie turned his back to Pei Jingnian and said with his head tilted.

Pei Jingnian wanted to speak and stopped, so he had to sigh lightly, and then arched his hand slightly: "Yes." Subordinates obeyed. It's just that I should go to the White Horse Temple and summon the abbot of the empty Xuan to come and testify?"

Yan Jie waved his hand and said, "No need. After a while, Benfu will go to the prison and have a good talk with the Shen cuttlefish, and I think I will be able to ask something. In the Year of the Mirror, you go to prepare first, and later, you accompany the mansion together. "Yes. After that, Pei Jingnian walked out of the inner hall quickly with a knife.

Pei Jingnian just walked out of the house and closed the door tightly. A black shadow fell from the beam. The wide black robe enveloped the entire body, and it was impossible to see what the shape was, and under the pitch-black hood was half a pure white mask, on which a lifelike, blood-red swallow was depicted. This person's hidden aura stayed on the beam of the house for a long time, and Pei Jingnian didn't even notice it.

Yan Jie was not surprised when he saw this person, but he was also a little dissatisfied: "Why are you still here, if others find out and publicize this matter, can I, the seat of the Yin of Anhuai Mansion, still sit safely?"

"I just want to see if Lord Yan has broken his promise. Now it seems that Lord Yan is really a good hand at framing and buttoning his hat indiscriminately. The voice of the man in black was extremely rough and deep, but it did not look like a human voice, and between the words, there seemed to be some beast's low roar.

"Chiyan Valley is thousands of miles away from here, why did you come all the way to Anhuai Mansion to spy on me?" Yan Jie sneered, although he didn't know martial arts, he was also a smart person, and he knew that at this moment, this Chiyan Valley Valley Lord would never do it lightly to himself, and the two were still in a cooperative relationship after all.

The valley lord of Chiyan Valley then said, "It's not that I don't distrust Lord Yan. It's just that the stakes are high. I didn't come from Chiyan Valley, but I have been hiding outside Anhuai Mansion. I originally sent the Zilin Twin Thieves here, but I have not been relieved. As I expected, these two bastards not only let Dao Xueke go, but also presented me with a fake snow scroll. Do I really not know?"

"Why, you killed them?" asked Yan Jie, squinting his eyes.

"The two of them took the Red Blood Glass, and they didn't complete the task I ordered, so they should have been poisoned to death. I took the lives of both of them, and it was not a merit to alleviate their suffering. The Red Swallow Valley Valley Lord replied with a smile.

Yan Jie snorted coldly and leaned back on the chair: "What a ruthless Chiyan Valley Valley. What are you going to do now?"

"I monitored the Shen family all night last night, and now I am even more convinced that Shen cuttlefish is the descendant of Dao Xueke, and the scroll in the snow must be on him. Although I don't know where the men in black came from last night, they are good at martial arts, and they must have come for the snow remnants. I had to get it before them, otherwise, my plans would be in vain. The valley lord of Chiyan Valley said.

Yan Jie got up and paced, stroked his beard and said: "I really don't understand what you Jianghu people are fighting and killing all day long, making trouble all over the city for a broken book, and even risking your own life. ”

"Everyone has their own ambitions, and Lord Yan doesn't need to say much. Just force the Shen cuttlefish to hand over the snow scroll. Pay with one hand, deliver with the other. Lord Yan raised his hand, and with just one book, he could get 10,000 taels of silver at his fingertips, which was much better than working hard to save that meager fortune. You and I have all got what we want, so why not? At that time, the world's antiques, calligraphy and paintings, Lord Yan is still afraid that he will not be able to get his hands on them?"

Hearing the words of the valley lord of Chiyan Valley, Yan Jie also became more and more determined, so he nodded and said: "If it weren't for your ten thousand taels of silver, how could this mansion ignore my brother's old relationship and put my virtuous nephew on death row? ”

"In that case, I'm waiting for good news. With that, the black shadow flashed and disappeared into the roof, and Yan Jie looked up, and several tiles were closed again, and with a chuckle, he pushed open the door of the back hall and walked towards the cell.

"Virtuous nephew, are you still used to staying in this cell?" Yan Jie changed back to the kind and kind elder face before, as if he had a dual personality and switched freely. Hearing the disgusting voice, Shen Cuttlefish turned his head angrily and sneered and said, "What crime does Lord Yan want to impose on me?"

Yan Jie said with a smile: "What did the virtuous nephew say, just above the public court, official affairs, how can you take care of your personal feelings? ”

"Zen Master Kongxuan can prove my innocence, and I have nothing to say to you until he comes to testify. Shen Cuttlefish didn't want to deal with Yan Jie, but sat cross-legged with his face facing the wall, his eyes closed.

"The government has already sent people to the White Horse Temple, but Master Kongxuan is unwilling to come to testify. Zen Master Kongxuan is a monk who has attained the Tao, has no intention of the world, and does not want to involve these grievances in the rivers and lakes, and the government is helpless. He is neither greedy nor corrupted, so he can't be detained strongly, right?"

Yan Jie said regretfully, and sighed with a sigh. When Pei Jingnian behind him heard this, his face changed slightly, and he stopped talking, so he had to keep silent and hang his head.

Shen Cuttlefish turned his head in surprise when he heard this, glared at Na Yanjie, and hurriedly said: "Impossible! This is impossible! He rescued me to the White Horse Temple, how could he not be willing to testify for me?!" After that, he cast a pleading gaze to Pei Jingnian for help: "Pei Zhutou, you tell me, is this true!"

Pei Jingnian just wanted to speak, but was stopped by Yan Jie's eyes looking back at her, Yan Jie said slowly with an expressionless face: "Jingnian, tell Shen Gongzi the truth." Pei Jingnian was helpless, hesitated, gritted his teeth, and had to say: "Yes, I took someone to invite Zen Master Kongxuan in person, but Zen Master shirked and did not want to come to testify." ”

"Impossible, impossible......" Shen Cuttlefish was ownerless, and kept shaking his head.
