The book continues from the above, the last book said that Chu Mofeng was awakened by a nightmare, and he never understood what the bloodless woman in the dream meant, and on the second day, Chu Mofeng arranged for Liu Feiyan and Gu Zhen'er to go to Chunhua and Qiuyue to watch the play, and he came to the carriage and horse shop to investigate the case first, after eliminating all suspicions, Chu Mofeng gradually locked his eyes on Chunhua Qiuyue and Yun Mantian, and then Chu Mofeng went to the county government to review the file, hoping to find some clues from it.

On the other hand, Lin Yuanyuan, who was trapped in the dark room, also broke free and began to find ways to save herself, while Gu Zhen'er, who was watching the play in the restaurant, found that Chu Mofeng had never been there, and she couldn't help but feel lost.

Visited Zhao Qiande, the shopkeeper of Xingyun Warehouse, and Sun Guicai, a cloth merchant, respectively, Chu Mofeng drew a conclusion from the accounts of the two, and in order to confirm this conclusion, Chu Mofeng decided to go to Chunhua and Qiuyue to find out, in order to reveal the true face of the murderer.

The big drama in the Spring Flower and Autumn Moon Restaurant is still in full swing at this moment, but Gu Zhen'er was attacked on the way out of Gong, and Liu Feiyan, who was sitting in the lobby watching the play at this time, did not know at all.

After a group of people surrounded the spring flowers and autumn moons, Li Yuanheng, the king of Xu, stood in front of the restaurant, and there was an endless stream of cheers in his ears, and the county commander Lin Youshen behind him led Zhao Qiande and Sun Guicai to stand with their hands tied, and everyone was waiting for the gong sound at the end of the big play.

In the restaurant, Liu Feiyan found that Gu Zhen'er had not returned for a long time, and couldn't help but be vigilant, and immediately got up and walked towards the thatched house in the backyard, came to the door of the thatched house to endure the stench and investigate, and found that there was no Gu Zhen'er's figure.

Liu Feiyan picked up the earrings and took a closer look, and was immediately surprised, these earrings were originally a pair, when they were in Zhangye, they were bought by Chu Mofeng and given to Gu Zhen'er, and Gu Zhen'er regarded them as treasures, and never wore them out, but only wore them when traveling with Chu Mofeng.

Thinking of this, Liu Feiyan stretched out his hand and clasped it on his waist, only to hear the sound of 'Cangchang', a soft sword with a cold light appeared in his hand, Liu Feiyan, who was holding the soft sword, looked around vigilantly, and shouted Gu Zhen'er's name in a low voice while rummaging.

Gu Zhen'er in the dark room woke up faintly at this moment, and immediately looked around, and saw that there seemed to be two figures in the cage not far away, Gu Zhen'er immediately shouted loudly: "Hey, the two opposite, can you hear me?"

Hearing the sound of chains, a figure stood up and lay on the railing and shouted: "Yes, yes, yes, you were also abducted? My hands and feet are bound by chains, can you find a way to untie the ropes on your body?"

Hearing the shouts from the other side, Gu Zhen'er found that her hands and feet were all tied, looking at the very unprofessional binding method in front of her, Gu Zhen'er couldn't help but curl the corners of her mouth, and immediately a carp stood up, and then her feet jumped hard, and when she was in mid-air, she flipped over the hand on her back, and the moment she landed, the whole person did a somersault on the spot, and when she landed again, the dagger that slipped out of her boots was held in her hand.

Immediately, Gu Zhen'er cut the rope three times and divided five by two, and then ran to the cage, seeing that the other party easily lifted the restraints, Lin Yuanyuan in the cage couldn't help but be overjoyed, and immediately ran forward to Gu Zhen'er and said: "This woman, the little woman is the daughter of Lin Youshen, the county commander of Xicheng County, who was taken captive here a few days ago, and originally wanted to save herself from the predicament, but who knew that she was discovered by the wicked man, so she chained me in this cage. ”

After looking at the lock on the cage, Gu Zhen'er pulled off the hairpin on Lin Yuanyuan's head, inserted it into the keyhole and tinkered, only to hear a 'click', the lock was immediately opened, and then Gu Zhen'er hurriedly opened the chain on Lin Yuanyuan's body, glanced at the person lying on the ground and said, "Miss Lin, what's the situation?"

"This person has been lying here since I came, I have tried, and there is still qi, it should be because of the weakness of the body. Looking at the person lying on the ground, Lin Yuanyuan couldn't help but feel a little helpless in her heart, Gu Zhen'er heard the words and told Lin Yuanyuan to take care of this person, while she looked along the wall and groped.

With the sound of gongs in the restaurant, the big drama finally came to an end, at this time the shopkeeper of the restaurant, Cheng Xiaoyun, walked out, smiled at the people who came to listen to the play, and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, today's performance is over, the little woman thanks you for being able to enjoy the spring flowers and autumn moon, and when the next time the clouds return to Xicheng again, the little woman will be cheeky and invite everyone to come to perform again." ”

When everyone heard this, they all thanked Yun Mantian, and then they got up and prepared to leave the restaurant, while Cheng Xiaoyun walked up to Li Yuanheng, the king of Xu, and said with a smile: "The little woman knows that His Royal Highness the King of Shicai is joking, and after listening to this play, the little woman should also clean up and close here, doesn't His Royal Highness want to stay here tonight?"

Originally, I thought that King Yu was too young to stand the ridicule, but who knew that Li Yuanheng took a step forward, looked at Cheng Xiaoyun with a shyly look and said: "Shopkeeper Cheng, it's not that this king doesn't want to leave, but my brother Xianwang has spoken, if he doesn't come, none of you present today want to leave." As soon as the words fell, the accompanying soldiers walked in with long knives and spears, and the people who had heard that they could not leave and were ready to protest immediately lost their temper when they saw the bright blades, and could only sit aside angrily and wait for Li Yuanheng's speech.

Looking at the passionate crowd, Li Yuanheng was also confused, and kept silently thinking in his heart, my brother Xianwang, come quickly, otherwise once the people's resentment and resentment are formed, it will be reported to Your Majesty, and Your Majesty will not be allowed to eat me.

When he was meditating, he saw that the door of the restaurant was slowly pushed open, and Chu Mofeng walked in with a confident look, and when he saw that everyone was sitting here, Chu Mofeng couldn't care about those false courtesies, and immediately shouted: "Everyone, this king has been delayed because of some miscellaneous matters, please forgive me." ”

Seeing Chu Mofeng's arrival, everyone couldn't help but ask out loud, and for a while, the hall was full of people, only to see Chu Mofeng smile slightly, and waved his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, "Everyone, all the people in the hall can leave at this moment, but this king wants to uncover the true face of the kidnapping girl, if you want to see the excitement, you can stay." ”

As the saying goes, people are curious animals, and when they heard that Chu Mofeng was going to point out who was the murderer who kidnapped the girl, everyone couldn't help but be stunned, and they originally got up and were about to leave, but they sat back in their places.

Seeing this, Chu Mofeng nodded at Li Yuanheng, the king of Xu, and then shouted sharply: "The soldiers accompanying His Royal Highness the king of Xu, who were present, listened to the order and surrounded the entire restaurant, and the remaining personnel checked again room by room, but all the objects that could be moved were removed from the place for inspection. ”

As soon as the words fell, Cheng Xiaoyun, the shopkeeper of Chunhua Qiuyue Restaurant, stepped forward quickly, saluted Chu Mofeng and said, "This lord, if you give such an order, how will the small shop be open in the future?"

I saw Chu Mofeng take out a piece of paper from his arms and hand it to Cheng Xiaoyun and said: "First of all, I am not an adult, and secondly, this is the ticket number of the Lingnan Song family's mansion in the capital, and it is 100,000 yuan, and any mansion belonging to the Lingnan Song family under my Tang Dynasty can be cashed." ”

After listening to Chu Mofeng's words, Cheng Xiaoyun immediately lost his temper, and Zhao Qiande and Sun Guicai behind Lin Youshen listened to Chu Mofeng's words, and couldn't help but be shocked.

With Chu Mofeng's order, a group of soldiers began to act one after another, surrounding the building, entering the house to search for it, and for a while, there was a burst of chickens and dogs jumping in the restaurant.

Just when the soldiers were searching, Gu Zhen'er found the place with air circulation in the dark room according to Lin Yuanyuan's instructions, and then Gu Zhen'er pulled out a strand of hair and tried it slightly, only to see the hair swaying slightly, which proved that the air in the dark room was circulating.

Thinking of this, Gu Zhen'er walked back to the cage, the wooden cage was not strong, after Gu Zhen'er's kicking, she finally removed a few wooden sticks from the cage, and then Gu Zhen'er took one and kept chopping with a dagger, and finally cut it into a pointed shape after some busyness, and then Gu Zhen'er took off her coat, dug a small nest in the middle of another wooden stick, and then pulled a handful of thatch on the ground, and said to Lin Yuanyuan, who was shocked on the side, with a solemn face: " Later, when he saw a fire coming out, he put his clothes together and lit them, and threw them in that place. ”

Lin Yuanyuan nodded when she heard this, and then Gu Zhen'er held a sharp wooden stick in both hands, rubbing back and forth in the small nest where the thatch was placed, trying to obtain the fire source by using the primitive method of drilling wood to make fire.

Finding that Chu Mofeng was coming, Liu Feiyan hurriedly reported Gu Zhen'er's disappearance, and then Chu Mofeng nodded, walked straight onto the stage and arched his hand to everyone in the audience and said: "Everyone, today this king will tell you a story, after listening to this story, you will be able to know who the murderer of this kidnapping girl is." ”

Then Chu Mofeng slowly told a somewhat poignant story, saying that ten years ago, that is, in the twelfth year of Sui Daye, there was a smash hit troupe in Xicheng County at that time, given that opera was not very popular, so there were not many people who came to learn opera at that time, after all, no one wanted to let their children learn a craft that was not widely spread.

The old master of the troupe is surnamed Cheng, a native of Xicheng County, and the old master has two apprentices who are the most outstanding, the male is called Zhou Youran, and the female is the daughter of the old class owner.

Later, the Sui Dynasty collapsed, the Tang Dynasty was established, and the new emperor liked opera for some reason, which made the opera that was about to sink see a glimmer of light, and at this time, about five years ago, the old class owner died, leaving his daughter alone, seeing that the opera was gradually flourishing, the female apprentice discussed with Zhou Youran, thinking of relying on the two to support the opera team again, who knew that the male apprentice was determined to go to the capital to learn art, and then the two made a private decision for life.

Zhou Youran promised to marry a female apprentice when he returned from learning, so Zhou Youran went to the capital alone, and the female apprentice surnamed Cheng stayed in Xicheng County and opened a restaurant with her savings over the years.

Then Zhou Youran returned from his studies, and the female apprentice proposed to complete the agreement of the year, which had wanted to be in the capital for a year, Zhou Youran was gradually infected by the atmosphere of the capital, and had already practiced the ability to be in the middle of thousands of flowers, and the leaves did not stick to the body, but the requirements of the female apprentice were strongly prevaricated, but on the other hand, they frowned at the rich ladies who admired themselves, and after a long time, the female apprentice surnamed Cheng gradually saw the clues, and then no longer mentioned the agreement of the year.

Speaking of this, Chu Mofeng turned to look at Zhou Youran, smiled and said, "Mr. Zhou, what this king said is not bad at all, right?"

I saw Zhou Youran looking at Chu Mofeng with a little apprehension and said: "His Royal Highness King Xian is really a good skill, I heard people mention it when the villain was in the capital, the Hou Ye back then, and the current Wang Ye, that can be called the cornerstone of the Tang Dynasty." Whether it is a prison sentence or a battle to kill, you are proficient in everything, it is rumored that in addition to Master Zhiyuan, the abbot of Songshan Shaolin Temple, and the current head of Emei, Qinglian Shitai, your martial arts are already the first in the world, right?"

"Misinformation and misinformation, this king has been busy with government affairs all these years, and his martial arts are not as good as they were back then. Listening to Zhou Youran's words, Chu Mofeng thought to himself, if my six masters heard it, they would have to peel off a layer of my skin, and the young master would not dare to call him the first in the world, you must know that the first person generally dies quickly.

Thinking of this, Chu Mofeng smiled and said to Zhou Youran: "Since what this king said is right, then why doesn't Mr. Zhou invite your junior sister to come out and see him, or do you need this king to use a sword to meet?"

Chu Mofeng was arguing with Zhou Youran here, and Gu Zhen'er finally ignited the fire source in the dark room over there, and then threw the burning clothes there, and he and Lin Yuanyuan carried the person on the ground far away, and then Gu Zhen'er gathered all the thatch on the ground to the fire source and lit it, and after a while, bursts of smoke rose and rushed out along the gaps in the wall.

The soldiers who were inspecting on the second floor suddenly smelled a trace of fireworks in Cheng Xiaoyun's boudoir, and immediately exclaimed in surprise and looked around with their companions, and walked to Cheng Xiaoyun's dresser.

Seeing this, everyone hurriedly moved the dresser away, only to see a hole appear in front of everyone, and then someone quickly went downstairs to report, and Zhou Youran in the lobby was hesitating, Chu Mofeng on the side saw this, sneered and shouted to Cheng Xiaoyun in the audience: "Miss Cheng, you said that if this king kills your senior brother at this moment, what will you do?"

"I'm going to kill you, and then I'm going to kill myself to stay with my brother. I saw Cheng Xiaoyun change his previous gentle state, looked at Chu Mofeng with a hideous face and said, "No matter who wants to approach my senior brother or hurt my senior brother, I will kill them all." I didn't expect to be discovered by you, Your Royal Highness King Xian, you said that you didn't stay in the capital well, what did you do when you ran out?"

Looking at Cheng Xiaoyun in the audience, Zhou Youran sat down on the ground all of a sudden, "Senior sister, why are you doing this today?"

"Senior brother, you don't have to mind, everything is Yun'er's own idea, as long as Senior Brother is well, Yun'er is worth it even if he dies. Cheng Xiaoyun walked quickly to the front of the stage, looking at Zhou Youran with a gentle face, and when the two were complaining to each other, they only heard the shout of a soldier from the second floor: "His Royal Highness King Xian, I found it." ”

Seeing this, Chu Mofeng hurriedly ordered people to rescue all the people in the cave, looking at the people who were helped out one by one, Chu Mofeng only saw three women including Gu Zhen'er, only one person was missing, and the three bitter masters stepped forward to claim it when they saw this, but Sun Yue'er, who disappeared first, was missing.

Seeing this, Chu Mofeng jumped off the stage and grabbed Cheng Xiaoyun and asked sharply, "Where is there another girl?"

I saw Cheng Xiaoyun reach out and brush the hair of his sideburns, and then smiled and said: "His Royal Highness King Xian, this is Xicheng, we have relied on Hanshui to live since childhood, where did you say that fox girl went?" After speaking, he stood on the spot and laughed loudly, "You fox charmers, if you want to get close to my senior brother, let me die, I will not let any woman get close to my senior brother, my senior brother is mine, he said that he wanted to marry me." ”

Listening to Cheng Xiaoyun's words, Sun Guicai immediately howled 'daughter', and then fainted, and Chu Mofeng shouted to Lin Youshen when he saw this: "Lin County order, quickly gather all the officials to arrest quickly, and salvage all the way downstream along the Hanshui outside the city, and be sure to find Miss Sun's body." ”

Seeing that his daughter was recovered, Lin Youshen immediately responded, then turned around and rushed out of the restaurant, only to hear Lin Youshen's shouts from outside the door;

At this time, Zhao Qiande led Zhao Xiaowan, who was supported by his family, and walked over, and made a big salute to Chu Mofeng and said: "Your Highness, the villain has thanked His Highness for his great kindness, if it weren't for His Highness's rescue, it is estimated that the villain's daughter would have died at this moment, and His Highness's kindness and villain could not repay it, and the villain decided to ......."

Who knew that before Zhao Qiande finished speaking, Chu Mofeng immediately waved his hand to stop him, "If the shopkeeper Zhao says that he will marry Ling Yan to this king, it will be exempt, but this is a joke, as for you to thank you with money, please also take it back, this king is just at the request of His Royal Highness King Xu, if you want to thank him, you should still thank His Royal Highness King Xu, it is a blessing for the people of Jinzhou to have such a good official as His Royal Highness King Xu, for now, it is better to take Ling Yan back to recuperate." ”

Seeing that his road was blocked, Zhao Qiande had no choice but to give another salute to Chu Mofeng and Li Yuanheng, and then led Zhao Xiaowan out of here.

At this time, Chu Mofeng arched his hand at Li Yuanheng and said: "His Royal Highness King Xu, since the case has been clarified, then the rest of the matter is the task of you, the parent official, this king will go back to rest for the time being, after all, my subordinates have also been frightened, please forgive His Royal Highness King Xu." After speaking, Chu Mofeng and Liu Feiyan helped Gu Zhen'er to leave the spring flowers and autumn moon, and walked towards the temporary mansion.

After Chu Mofeng left, Li Yuanheng, the king of Xu, coughed lightly and said: "Come on, detain the criminal Cheng Xiaoyun in the prison, and wait for the news from Lin County to be sent back before the trial, in addition, Yun Mantian Zhou Youran has the crime of not reporting it, and he will be brought back for interrogation, before the case is over, Yun Mantian and everyone are temporarily not allowed to leave Xicheng County, and Chunhua Qiuyue will temporarily suspend business." ”

Then Li Yuanheng said to everyone present: "Everyone, it is getting late at this time, you might as well disperse early, otherwise you will be taken away for the crime of conspiracy." ”

Hearing what Lord Assassin Shi said, the people present got up and left the restaurant with a look of surprise, leaving only Li Yuanheng in a mess and stunned.

Then a group of soldiers escorted Zhou Youran and Cheng Xiaoyun, under the leadership of Li Yuanheng, the king of Xu, and walked towards the Xicheng County prison, while on the other side, Lin Youshen took the three classes of officials and catchers, searched all the way along the riverbank, and finally found Sun Yue'er's body on the bank of the river about twenty miles away from Xicheng County at the beginning of the second day, and then Lin Youshen ordered the body to be brought back to the Sun family, and he hurriedly returned to the backyard of the county government.

Looking at the lost and recovered daughter, Lin Youshen couldn't help but burst into tears, because of one of his own negligence, which led to almost being separated from his daughter from heaven and man, thinking of this Lin Youshen regretted it, and Lin Yuanyuan, who was well-versed in affairs, knew that if there were no people like his father, like King Xu, and King Xian, who were contributing to Datang, then Datang would already be in chaos, thinking of this Lin Yuanyuan secretly decided that he would also learn the ability to break out of prison with a criminal name, and he would be able to do his part for Datang in the future.

In the temporary mansion, Gu Zhen'er was lying on the bed looking up in a daze, and she didn't even notice Chu Mofeng walking in, only to see Chu Mofeng sitting aside and whispering: "Zhen'er, thanks to you this time, if you hadn't lit the fire and set off the smoke, it is estimated that everyone would not have been able to find the entrance to the cave, so this time you are the hero." ”

"But I lost the earrings you gave me. Gu Zhen'er sat up when she heard this, looked at Chu Mofeng with teary eyes, and saw Chu Mofeng smile slyly at first, and then took out a shiny thing from her arms and threw it to Gu Zhen'er, Gu Zhen'er saw this and caught it and looked at it, and immediately jumped up happily, seeing that the earrings were lost and recovered, Gu Zhen'er immediately put them on, threw herself into Chu Mofeng's arms and said with a smile: "As long as it is recovered, even if it costs me my life, it is worth it." ”

Who knew that Chu Mofeng pushed Gu Zhen'er away with a little vigilance, looked at her with disgust and said, "Go and go, don't you want to take this opportunity to take advantage of me?"

Who knew that Gu Zhen'er got up and looked at Chu Mofeng, and said coldly: "Do you still need to find a chance to take advantage of you?" Only my stupid cousin will look for an opportunity. After speaking, he pounced on Chu Mofeng again.

Three days later, the Jinzhou Assassin Mansion sentenced Cheng Xiaoyun to beheading, except for Zhou Youran who came to see him off on the day of the execution, the execution ground was empty, and then Zhou Youran used some money to collect Cheng Xiaoyun's body, and then purchased a piece of land outside the city and buried Cheng Xiaoyun carefully.

After another two days, after Gu Zhen'er recovered, Chu Mofeng, Liu Feiyan and Gu Zhen'er said goodbye to Li Yuanheng, the king of Xu, and the people of Xicheng County, turned over and drove towards the capital......

As the saying goes, the soldiers will block, and the water will cover the earth, and watch Chu Mofeng return to Beijing to review the Longcheng army, and then look at Li Shimin's Chang'an City to thoroughly investigate the demon temple, want to know what will happen next, and listen to the next decomposition......
