Section 220 Trickery
On the seventh day, in the lobby of Jingzhao Mansion.
Xu Yazhi presided over the meeting, and the two young Yin and the seven divisions of the army and other large and small officials gathered together to hold a regular hall meeting.
All the officials of all sizes reported their work one by one, and it was Su Ziang and Chutian's turn to report very quickly.
"Your Excellency. Su Ziang saluted first and said, "The soul gathering beads in the bodies of the two girls in Taishang Village have been taken out. As he spoke, a square and simple jade box appeared in his hand.
The jade box is pure white and transparent like mutton fat, and the surface of the box is carved with mysterious patterns, and the spiritual power between the lines is overflowing, revealing a sense of evil, sealing the two cyan beads in the box.
The surface of the two green beads is full of black gas, and the black gas is changing, transforming into a cute girl for a while, smiling skillfully, and struggling and howling for a while, but under the confinement of the spiritual power of the crest, it is difficult to get rid of it.
The officials didn't know why, and they stared at each other for a while.
"Captain Chu. Shao Yin Zhu Jiuzhi looked at it for a moment and said with a smile: "You are so far away from this jade box, can Lord Xu see it clearly?"
"Don't get too close. Su Ziang looked solemn, and then explained: "Your lords don't know, the soul gathering beads in the jade box are the most powerful things fed by countless resentful souls, and they are the best at absorbing the essence and blood of the living, so you should stay away from your lords." ”
He stretched out his hand and pointed to the jade box, and said, "This box is the Taihua Sect's Strange Treasure Soul Locking Pattern Forbidden, and the Treasure Pattern Spell outside the box is infused by the Heavenly God Monarch of this sect himself, which can lock all resentful soul yin things." ”
"The immortal art of Taihua Mountain is so mysterious. Zhu Jiuzhi praised it, stepped out, took a closer look at the Soul Lock Seal Pattern Forbidden, and said with a smile: "This jade box looks like a fairy treasure, most of it is a fairy treasure, how much silver can it be worth, can it be sold to the official to play with one or two?"
"I wish you all the best if you come back, come back quickly. Shaoyin Liu Xichu smiled and shouted: "It's that Su Qiwei really sold the Soul Locking Pattern to you, do you know how to chant spells and cast spells?"
"Cough, cough," Xu Yazhi coughed lightly and asked: "Captain Su, just now you said that the soul gathering bead has been taken out from the girl's body, what is the current situation of these two girls?" Xu Yazhi coughed lightly, and the officials in the hall suddenly tightened their faces, and the hall suddenly fell silent.
"Returning to Lord Xu, the older girl can already speak simply, and the lower official is going to take her to identify Uncle Fist Gang Middle Finger later. Su Ziang glanced at the officials in the hall and said: "If this little girl knows Uncle Middle Finger, it means that in a series of cases such as the Butterfly Garden Girl's Bone Case and the Luojia Carriage and Horse Shop, the murderers behind it are all Fist Gang Hu people." ”
"Makes sense. Xu Yazhi praised and said: "The fist gang is very fierce, everything must be done carefully, and you must not lose your witness." ”
He arched his hand to the sky and said: "In the future, above the court, this government cannot speak in the vernacular, without evidence. ”
Su Chu and the others bowed down to receive the order, and said, "No, please rest assured that Lord Xu, the witness must be safe." ”
"Stand down. Xu Yazhi nodded and smiled, and began to deal with the next case.
After the church was dispersed, Su Ziang and Chu Tian left Jingzhao Mansion and stepped onto the cross street in a few steps, and when there was no one around, Chu Tian asked with a smile: "Senior Brother Su, you bluff and knock on the mountain and shock the tiger, can the people in the fist gang be fooled?"
"If you have dates or not, try to knock on the two poles first. Su Ziang looked back at Jingzhao Mansion and said with a smile: "Is it useful, and there is no harm in cheating." ”
When the two of them quickly passed by the Miaoyue Medical Hall, Su Ziang pouted and said, "The people in the Fist Gang would never have thought that we would suspect the Miaoyue Medical Hall, Qing Yao and Senior Sister Jin will have been keeping an eye on Su Miaoyue's every move these days. ”
"When did you start suspecting Su Miaoyue?"
"The Buddha has always been good at giving small favors to confuse people's hearts, giving free rice to the common people in Pingyuan County, and free pills in the Miaoyue Medical Center. Su Ziang smiled and said: "After being reminded by Senior Sister Jin, think about Su Miaoyue's appearance is also high nose and deep eyes, and she is very similar to Hu Ren." ”
"Haha, Su Miaoyue's facial contour is really very different from that of the women of this dynasty. Halfway through Chu Tian's words, a surprise suddenly appeared on his face, and Su Ziang took the opportunity to look at it.
More than a dozen luxurious carriages were parked outside the butterfly garden, each of which was a satin canopy with two carriages, and the first few were four horse-drawn carriages, and a group of slaves stood next to each carriage, each holding a different gift box in his hand.
According to the practice of the ancient Xia Dynasty, officials were particular about the horses used to pull carts, with more than six horses for the Son of Heaven, four horses for princes, three horses for doctors, and two horses for ordinary officials.
In the people, as long as the emperor does not use six horse-drawn carriages, it is not a violation, but most of the gentry mansions have a maximum of two carriages, and most of the four-horse carriages can only be used by powerful and powerful houses.
"Senior Brother Su, what are these carriage marquis doing outside the butterfly garden?"
"Senior Brother Chu, guess?"
"I can't guess below. ”
"It's definitely not here to see us, it's to find beauty. Su Ziang smiled, raised his hand and pointed to the entrance of the butterfly garden, only to see a group of young people standing at the gate of the garden, all dressed gorgeously, with jade pendants hanging from their waists, holding incense fans and looking at the butterfly garden.
One of the people, Su Ziang and Chu Tian, knew each other, it was Tian Wangwang and the other Luodu Sanshao, and the other group was five young men, one of whom was a green-robed young man with a sword eyebrow and a very familiar face.
"Lord Su, Lord Chu, congratulations to the two of you for your promotion. Tian Wangwang bowed his hand and smiled like a kiss, without the arrogance of the son of Shangshu of the Criminal Department.
Su Chu and the others returned the salute and asked with a smile: "Did the gust of wind blow Tian Gongzi to the gate of the butterfly garden?"
"The wind didn't blow, I came down by myself, and recently Luodu said by word of mouth that four fairies came to the butterfly garden, riding white horses and wearing red ......clothes," Tian Wangwang smiled: "I want to invite four fairies to gather at the orchid restaurant for a drink." ”
He smiled more on his face and said, "The hour, of course, must be determined by the fairies." ”
"Hmph, Tian Wangwang, you get out of the way, it's not your turn to speak here. The green-robed young man looked cold and evil, looked down at Su Chu and the others with his eyes, and said in a low voice: "What are the names of the two of you, and you haven't come to give this son a salute." ”
Su Ziang and Chu Tian were stunned for a moment, but they heard Xu Bairong the orchid and scolded: "Zhuo Ruiyun, you are that green onion, why do we dodge it, and I told you to get out of the way." ”
"Go, go, Xu Bairong, you are full of scorch, you can't drink, and you can't even let go of men, don't stand with this son. Zhuo Ruiyun looked disdainful, took two steps, and shouted to Su Ziang from afar: "We are a family, and my father is from the Taihua faction." ”
As he spoke, the young man pinched slightly, the red light flashed on his fingertips, and six flame shadows appeared, and with a flick of his fingers, the fire ball flew in front of Xu Bairong with a "whew", and the frightened Xu Bairong screamed and hid.
"What do you mean?" Tian Wangwang rolled up his sleeves, stepped forward and shouted: "The surname Zhuo, with your three-legged cat kung fu, do you want to do it, come on?"
The two groups of people quickly stood up in two groups and confronted each other, and a group of young men in the distance surrounded them with a "hoop", standing in two factions respectively, shouting and cheering for their own people.
Su Ziang suddenly remembered that Zhuo Ruiyun was the young man he had seen in the teahouse, and remembered that he threw the kettle and smashed Tian Wangwang, but was pushed back by a "Chi Ling Shield" from the other party, that is to say, there was an eighth-order warrior in Tian Wangwang's group, and it seemed that this person was none other than Zhu Gongzi.
Zhu Gongzi stood silently at the end, looking at Zhuo Ruiyun and his group as if watching a farce, although Zhuo Ruiyun and his group were numerous, they did not dare to step forward to make a move, obviously the two sides had repeated conflicts before, and they knew each other.
"Squeak".
Wu Liuqi poked his head out of the butterfly garden and shouted: "This faction has an order, and everyone outside the garden can make noise, not fight." ”
Zhuo Duanyun immediately borrowed the slope to get off the donkey and shouted: "Uncle Xia has an order, you want to be noisy, don't fight, Tian Wangwang, you get away." ”
"You're going to get away. Tian Wangwang immediately replied.
"Senior Brother Chu, go quickly. Su Ziang saw that there were a group of idle swingers on both sides, and he couldn't explain it clearly, and when he pulled Chutian, he used the Nine Palace Escape Technique under his feet, and he turned and floated, and he had bypassed the two groups of sons and brothers and entered the butterfly garden.
Zhuo Ruiyun shouted through the door: "In Xia Zhuo Ruiyun, I want to see Uncle Shui Zhenren, please open the door to welcome guests......"
"Is the courtyard gate a fellow door?" Wu Liuqi pointed to the door and asked Su Ziang, Su Ziang pulled Wu Liuqi with one hand and Chu Tian with the other hand and walked towards the garden, and said with a smile: "These sons and brothers have a lot of time, endlessly, let's pretend to be deaf and dumb." ”
In the autumn wind, pieces of residual leaves fall from the branches from time to time, the sun is bright and dazzling, and there is a bleak smell floating.
Xu Yazhi sent four elderly maidservants to direct several male servants in and out of the outer courtyard, and there were many people, and the garden was suddenly angry.
Shui Luanzi sat in Cuizhuxuan reading an ancient book, Li Mingjuan was serving tea on the side, and Zhuo Yiyan was playing with Lingling and Xiuxiu, two girls.
"See Master. ”
"See Uncle Shui. ”
"No courtesy. Shui Luanzi put down the book, swept her beautiful eyes, and asked, "Qing Yao and Yihui will go out for a few hours, will it be fine?"
"Master rest assured, Senior Sister Qing Yao and Senior Sister Jin are secretly investigating this time, even if Su Miaoyue is indeed a member of the Fist Gang, they are defenseless, and they don't know Senior Sister and Senior Sister, and besides, Bai Riluo is still very safe. Su Ziang hurriedly explained.
"I'm not worried about the Riot Gang, but about the red-clothed flower thief hiding in the shadows. ”
"Master Zun Xiu has to worry, the flower thief wants to bully ordinary women rampantly, if he meets Senior Sister Qingyao and Senior Sister Jin, it must be the biggest misfortune in his life. Su Ziang said with a smile: "Before, Senior Sister Qingyao and Senior Sister Jin divorced the marriage of Zhang Laohan's daughter in Erlangshan County, and beat the subordinates of the Five Dao Sect of Xufu. ”
"Hehe......" Shui Luanzi probably remembered the scene of his two disciples at that time, and couldn't help but smile, and said: "Among the four of them, Mingjuan is the most worry-free. ”
Li Mingjuan raised her head and smiled, and hurriedly refilled Shui Luanzi with a sip of tea, she never left Shui Luanzi's side and waited for her wholeheartedly.
"Is Zhuo Dingfeng's son here outside the garden?" asked Shui Luanzi.
"There is a green-robed boy who claims to be a disciple of the Taihua faction, and the disciple doesn't know the authenticity. Su Ziang thought for a while and said, "Most likely it's him, he is practicing the Flame Peak Dao Method, and he is close to the Ning Yuan Realm." ”
"I originally wanted to come quietly, and then go quietly, but now the four girls are making trouble in Luodu, and now they will inevitably have to talk to Senior Brother Zhuo again. Shui Luanzi said lightly.
