Chapter 55: Antecedents and Consequences

"Master, this is your porridge!" Dan Lian came to Baiyun Dao Chief's room with breakfast. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

"Put it down, by the way, Danlian, when will you go back to Jingzhou?"

"Don't worry, brother said that the murderer has been found!"

"Didn't the murderer catch him?"

"That's a delaying tactic, my brother said that Jia Yidao won't go too far!"

"Actually, I also think that not all people are looking forward to the moon kill!"

"Master, twenty-five years ago, was there anyone special who visited Guanli?"

"I know what you mean, I've already thought about it after listening to Miao Qianzhu's words during the day. Twenty-five years ago, there was indeed a seriously injured man who fled to Baiyun Temple, I saw that he was full of knife wounds, I thought he had met a Jin soldier or a Mongolian soldier, so I saved him, but I didn't expect that the next day he lost too much blood and died!"

"Where did he die?"

"It's on the bed in the guest room!"

"Who else have been in this temple for more than 25 years?"

"I'm afraid I'm the only one, and even your uncle is only twenty years old. ā€

ā€œ......ā€

Dan Lian went back and told Yang An, because she was going with a mission.

"Brother, it doesn't seem to have any useful information!"

"How come, at least we know that what Miao Qianzhu said is right! It's just why that person died, all this doesn't make sense!"

"What doesn't make sense!" Song Ci walked in.

"I used to think that the thief who stole the edict didn't die, it was he who killed Zhao Cong and Jia Gongzi, the king of Ji, but now it seems that this assumption is not true!"

"Is it really not true?" Song Ci asked rhetorically.

"Master, what do you mean?"

"I mean, there are a lot of possibilities!"

"Master, do you already know who the murderer is?"

"Haha, to put it bluntly, I'm just a pretence, the investigation of the case doesn't belong to me, you can think for yourself!" Song Ci walked out again after speaking.

Yang An is really puzzled, if the murderer is someone else, then the only motive should be those thieves who helped King Ji rebel but were slaughtered in the end, but they are already dead, yes, I said that it was them, then it is possible that there may be a few thieves, and he hurriedly asked: "You just said that only Baiyun Dao Chang has been here for twenty-five years, and your uncle has only been for twenty years?"

"That's right!"

"All the problems can be explained!"

"Do you know who the killer is?"

"I just guessed, I have to find a way to get him to admit it!"

As soon as Yang An finished speaking, Zhang Qianzhong ran in and said breathlessly: "Oh no, Brother Yang, Jia Rudao sent someone to surround him again!"

"Let's go, go out and have a look!"

When they went out, Bai Yun Daochang and Miao Qianzhu had already theorized with Jia Yidao, and said: "The surname is Jia, you are also a prime minister, how can you go back on your word?"

"Why did the original appearance go back on its word?"

"You didn't retreat when you said you were going to retire, it seems that you are not worthy of fighting crickets!" Zhang Qianzhong said.

"Who said I don't deserve to fight crickets, that's right, Benxiang said that he retired from the army, and he also retired, but Benxiang didn't say that I can't make a comeback!"

"It seems that you are the number one traitor in the Great Song Dynasty, which is really true!" Miao Qianzhu scolded.

"You are exalting him too much, he is at most second, and the first is Qin Hui!" Zhang Qianzhong also scolded.

Yang An asked, "Prime Minister, what do you want?"

"It's very simple, two ways, the first one is to hand over the murderer, I will only kill the murderer, and the second one, I will kill all of you, and I would rather kill the wrong one!"

"Didn't the murderer of your son find it, it's your number one killer, Zhan Wangyue! Could it be that the prime minister forgot it so quickly?" Dan Lian actually didn't want to be able to get by, she just wanted to say it and be angry with him.

"Don't think I don't know your tricks, the prime minister is here today to admit that Zhao Hui was killed by me, what can you do?"

"Oh, Prime Minister, this is a terrible crime! This is a big crime of the Zhujiu clan, you can't admit it indiscriminately! Didn't you say it very well yesterday, it has nothing to do with you, it's better like this, your son won't live long if he doesn't die anyway, I think it's okay, don't admit this crime, otherwise your glory and wealth will be burned to the ground! You better withdraw with the army!" Song Ci could make Jia Yidao angry half to death every time he spoke.

"Song Ci, don't give me a sloppy look, if you can't hand over the murderer, you have to die!"

"Prime Minister, I'm asking, if the murderer is caught, can everyone in the Taoist Temple be released?" Yang An wanted to confirm again.

"That's right, as long as it's the real murderer, Benxiang will keep his promise, if you still find someone casually like last time, then it's no wonder that Benxiang!"

"Okay! Today, I will definitely convince the minister. First of all, the minister has admitted that he sent Zhan Zhan Yue to kill Zhao Hui, but there is one thing I lied about before, that is, Zhan Zhan Yue did not admit to killing Zhao Cong, and Zhan Zhan Yue did not betray the prime minister, so he has no reason to kill the prime minister's son. First of all, I want to ask Miao Qianzhu, why did you come to Baiyun Temple?"

"For more than 20 years, I have been inquiring about the whereabouts of the edict, but unfortunately there is no news, until not long ago, I finally found out that Nie Xiaoding, who stole the edict, fled here with the edict and finally died!" Miao Qianzhu replied honestly.

"When you received this news, did you ever wonder why you suddenly got this news after more than 20 years of no news?"

"Do you mean that this news is fake and that someone deliberately released it?" Miao Qianzhu couldn't believe it.

"Half right, half wrong, right is that someone deliberately released it, and what is wrong is that the news is true, absolutely true!"

"That's right, someone did get injured here twenty-five years ago, but died the next day!" said Bai Yun Dao Chief.

"And what happened twenty-five years ago is only known to the Baiyun Dao Chief!" Yang An said with certainty.

"Nephew Yang Xian, are you saying that I spread this news?"

Yang An did not answer, and said: "The murderer and his cleverness used the most concise killing methods, and the time chosen was late at night, which made everyone suspicious, but he ignored a very important point, that is, whether it is to use straw to carry the corpse, or to put the corpse behind the Buddha statue, it is only possible for people who are very familiar with the Taoist temple, and generally people who are not familiar with the behavior and habits of Taoist priests dare not do this, because they are afraid of being discovered. ā€

"Brother, what are you talking about, how can the master kill someone?"

Yang An also ignored Dan Lian's words, and said: "When I killed Zhao Hui, I found that in addition to me, Zhao Hui, Miao Qianzhu, and Zhan Wangyue, there was a man in black who had been monitoring us, and that person had extremely high martial arts, and I only found him when he left at the end." ā€

"That person is the real murderer of Zhao Cong?"

"That's right. Yang An said affirmatively.

"That person's martial arts can only be done by five people in the Taoist temple, Zhan Zhanyue and Miao Qianzhu were both by my side at the time, Sakura is a little girl, and her figure does not match, then the only ones left are Bai Yun Dao Chang and Pan Dao Chang!"

"Daoist Pan lent you his night clothes, so it's really Baiyun Daochang!" Youqu said.

"That's right, Daochang Pan did lend me a set of night clothes, but I don't wear it properly, so it's better for Daochang Pan to wear it yourself and show us. Yang An said and took out his night clothes and handed them to Pan Daochang.

"What kind of night clothes do you wear in public, I think it's better to forget it, if you think it's not appropriate, I'll ask someone to change it for you!"

"Since Daoist Pan is unwilling, then he has to let Daoist Baiyun suffer!" said and handed the night clothes to Daoist Baiyun, and everyone didn't know what medicine was sold in his gourd.

"Just wear it!" said Bai Yundao Chief, who wore it very simply.

"Have you seen a situation that you can't understand? Pan Daochang is thin and small, and Bai Yun Dao Chang is tall, why is the night clothes that Pan Daochang lent me suitable for Bai Yun Daochang! At the beginning, I also thought it was a little big, I originally thought that everyone was different, and I didn't care, but one day I suddenly thought that Pan Daochang's figure was about the same as mine, and there was no reason why the clothes were so much bigger on me, and I remembered that Dan Lian said that Bai Yun Dao Chang lost his night clothes, and Pan Dao Chang also said a strange thing to Dan Lian, and the truth is about to come out here!

"Yes, you're right, then do you know why I killed them!"

"Because you were one of the thieves back then!"

"That's right, my name is Pan Ren, and I was one of the three brothers who assisted King Ji in his rebellion, and our three brothers wanted to do their best to assist King Ji to win the world, but I didn't expect that he actually denounced us, more than 10,000 people were slaughtered, and only a dozen people ran out. ā€

"I'm afraid, you didn't tell the whole truth, maybe the other thieves really wanted to help King Ji, but you weren't!"

"How do you know?"

"If my guess is correct, the fire was not set by Shi Miyuan, but by you, and you sent someone to steal the edict, your purpose is to make the edict disappear with the people who can compete with the emperor for the throne, if you really just want revenge, you can go directly to Huzhou and kill the two Ji kings, or put another fire, there is no need to deliberately release the wind to attract the two Ji kings. I guess the thing is like this, the imperial army that exterminated the anti-thieves deliberately let you go, and when you came back, you found that Nie Xiaoding, who was originally sent by you to steal the edict, peeked at the content of the edict, knew your intentions, betrayed you, and fled with the edict, you sent people all the way to chase and kill him into the Baiyun Temple, you didn't dare to rush in, and then I learned that he was dead, and I sneaked into the Taoist Temple several times to find the edict without harvest, and then you simply became a Taoist priest and continued to look for it, and I looked for it for 20 years, not long ago you just found it, you felt that the time was ripe, so you used this as a bait to lure the two Ji kings out and take the opportunity to kill them, originally you also wanted to kill Zhao Hui that day, I didn't expect to be the first to board!"

"That's right, you're right!" said Pan Daochang, who did not deny it.

"Brother Yang, why did Daochang Pan do this?"

"Because he has another master!"

"Who is it?"

"I once suspected that it was Shi Miyuan, but Shi Miyuan has been dead for so many years, and there is no reason for him to still insist, so I thought of the current emperor!"

"You said that the emperor killed King Ji and them, this doesn't make sense, didn't the emperor and King Ji want to join forces to deal with Shi Miyuan?"

Maybe Zhao Yun, who didn't sit on the throne, did think so, but everything changed when he became the emperor, he was afraid that his throne would be taken away, so he arranged for Pan Ren to instigate Zhao Hong to rebel, and wanted to kill him justifiably, Zhao Hong disagreed, Pan Ren privately arranged for someone to prepare a rebellion, and emphasized that it was the intention of King Ji, but he didn't expect that Zhao Hong, the king of Ji, found out and ran to the capital to sue himself, and the emperor had no reason to kill him. The emperor was restless, for fear that after Shi Miyuan's death, the emperor would come to him with an edict to ask for the throne, so he arranged for Pan Ren to set fire to King Ji, and there was an accident, the edict that he thought was in the bag did not arrive, and King Ji still has two sons who are not dead, so you have been helping him carry out the task until today. ā€

"That's right, I'm a little suspicious that the emperor told you!" Pan Ren said.

"I don't care if you kill them, but why do you want to kill my son?"

"Jia Xiang, you and I are both the emperor's people, how can you give me a mission to the emperor if you kill me?"

"Don't worry, I'll say that you died in the line of duty!" Jia Rudao waved his hand after speaking, and countless bows and arrows swooped down like a torrential rain.
