Chapter 4 The Legend of Cats and Ghosts (60) - Entrustment

ā˜†ā˜†ā˜†

Jian Yanxin said: I learned a few words from Mr. Wei that those dead soldiers said. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info was confused at the time, and I didn't remember clearly, but a few sounds popped up, but Mr. Wei said a complete word. I heard the word because the two men had repeated it several times. I quickly asked what it was, and Mr. Wei said that this word meant "fierce fire oil", and that the dead soldiers were speaking a kind of Qiang language, and they were a Qiang tribe operating on the border between the Great Song Dynasty and Western Xia.

Jian Yan secretly admired this Mr. Wei, and felt that he was really a strange person in the world, blind and didn't speak, besides, he had never been to the northwest at all, how could he speak the language of the Qiang people there, Jian Yan was really puzzled.

Chris listened secretly and felt that things seemed to be going in a direction that was beyond his imagination and became much more complicated. Once it involves Western Xia, this matter has been upgraded from an "arson case" to a "national defense matter", no wonder Yin Shenyu of Kaifeng Mansion temporarily suppressed the matter, I am afraid that I don't want the people of Kaifeng to fall into panic, this was originally a war on the border, but now it has burned to the capital, which is the 'terrorism' of the Great Song Dynasty at all!

A cold glint flashed in Jian Yan's eyes, and he said coldly: "Brother Chu can understand? The matter of fierce fire oil has been mixed with Mingjiao, no matter the cause, Mingjiao is inseparable from it at the moment! In the end, Mingjiao is very likely to be labeled as a foreign collaborator and a bad plot!"

In the prosperous Tang Dynasty, Chang'an, a prosperous place, there are still Manichaean temples that can be worshiped publicly, but now the congregation can only steal a corner of the south, act in secret, and worship secretly. If it is again implicated in the "enemy country", the Ming Sect will face a catastrophe of exterminating the sect and slaughtering the people.

Chu Hui was originally reluctant to let Jian Yan be involved in the affairs of Mingjiao, but now it was Jian Yan who was trying to find a way to remind himself and save Mingjiao, this friendship touched him a lot, but at the same time, he was worried about the future of Mingjiao. He stood upright, bowed to his sword, and said solemnly: "As the left envoy of the Ming Sect, I have never heard of anyone in the sect colluding with the Western Xia! We only have different beliefs, but we are the same people of the Great Song Dynasty! This matter is of great importance, and it has a bearing on the lives of tens of millions of people in the Ming Sect. For the Brotherhood to return to Mingjiao immediately, this matter must be thoroughly investigated!"

Jian Shi was not humble, and said in a cold tone: "I naturally have to continue to investigate, how the final investigation is, the result will be reported to the imperial court after all, and I can't wait for you to ...... indefinitely."

Chu Yi said: "I hope my brother will give me some time, and it will be limited to one month for my brother, no matter what the result is, I will give you an explanation!"

"Okay! for a month, I'll wait for your news then!"

Jian Yan looked up at the moonlight, the time was not early, and he and Huangfu Wuya also had something to discuss, so he got up and said, "Their wine is almost finished, I'll go back!"

He glanced at the grass where Chris was hiding, and said, "What should be said has been said, what should be heard, you still have unfinished business with him, right?

A helpless smile appeared at the corner of Chu Xuan's mouth, and he said, "Looking forward to seeing you next time!"

Hearing this, the figure that had just taken half a step paused for a moment, but did not look back, and left the dense forest with a long sigh.

The sword went like a blast, and Chris listened to their conversation, full of concern, and did not respond for a long time.

Chu Zhen narrowed his eyes, waited for a while, cleared his throat and asked, "Brother Yuanxiao, aren't you going to come out to say goodbye to Brother Wei?"

She thought about it, and suddenly remembered that Chu Yu was about to leave the capital and go back to investigate the involvement of Mingjiao and fierce fire oil.

She walked out slowly from behind the tree where she was hiding.

Chu Yi looked at the thin figure for a moment with those deep eyes, and said in his heart: Tonight is the third time he has seen his virtuous brother. The first time I thought he was wonderful, and the second time was that he saved his life from the sea of fire, and I Chu Yi have never owed others such a great kindness. The third time I saw him, I was about to leave, and I felt a little reluctant.

He beckoned and said softly, "Come here!"

Chris approached the campfire, her slightly sad face reflected in the light of the fire. When she came to her, she pursed her lips and asked, "Brother Chu, how is your injury?"

A thousand words, but I asked this sentence. It seems that Brother Xian is most concerned about his own injury, although he feels warm in his heart, but he feels that he is being looked down upon. The Qiao family's mansion burned down completely, and there will be no more institutions in the world that specifically restrain themselves. No one can easily hurt your big brother Chu. He thought this in his heart, but he didn't say it, just smiled slightly, and said, "After these few days of pranayama, it's no longer a problem!"

Maybe because the conversation just now was too heavy, Chris felt that the atmosphere was a little depressing at the moment, Jian Xi and Chu Yi had actually thought about what to do, and it was not their turn to point fingers. But without saying anything, she felt uncomfortable, so she said: "I was drinking with Jian Yan, but I didn't expect to meet Brother Chu." You are about to leave, and the two holy books I promised you have not brought with you today......"

Speaking of this, Chris suddenly thought that one of those two boards actually belonged to Qin Yujiu, if he knew that he had given this thing to the Mingjiao person he hated the most, I am afraid it would be very inappropriate! But she thought about it, Qin Yujiu's obsession was not on that board, but on why this board would harm his father and brother, and what he wanted to find out was the truth behind this matter. And I am also a little obsessed, that is, I want to unlock the mechanism on the holy book. After thinking about it, she discussed with Chu Zhen: "I am going to return these two pieces of holy books to you, but there is one condition, I don't know if you will agree?"

According to Chu Zhen's temperament, someone dares to preface the "conditions" in front of him, and this person's situation is almost buried in the yellow sand to his neck. Although the time spent with Lan Yuanxiao didn't add up to half a day, Chu Zhen felt that he was a trustworthy person. Not only did they not resent him for putting forward conditions, but they were somewhat looking forward to what these "conditions" were.

Chu Yi motioned with his eyes for him to continue.

"No, it's not one condition, it's two!" Chris raised his finger and said, "First, you have to promise me to find out the real culprit behind the theft of the holy book!"

The face that was smiling a little just now immediately turned cold.

Chris didn't pay attention to Chu Zhen's face, and continued: "The person who spent money to invite the Flying Thieves Club to steal the holy book back then was the one who started everything, and the Flying Thieves Club was just used by someone and implicated in it for no reason!"

"Unprovoked involvement?"

Chu Zhen snorted, and Chris felt a strong wind blowing on his face.

Chris knew that Chu Zhen's kung fu was on this voice, and at this time, a powerful aura emanated from Chu Zhen's body, and he immediately understood that he must be angry. Chris instinctively took a few steps back, as if pushed by a pair of hands.

Chu Zhen approached Chris and said, "If it weren't for the thieves of the Flying Thieves Society, how could the holy book be stolen? They weren't involved for no reason, even if someone asked them to steal the book, it was just because they couldn't resist the temptation, they were insatiable, and they took the blame on themselves!"

Chu Zhen's last few sentences, one sentence was more ruthless than the other, and the momentum was fierce in front of him.

The conversation came to an abrupt end, and Chris closed his eyes in fright.

Chris said in a low voice: "It's their mistake to steal the holy book first, but not all the flying thieves are involved, why should Brother Chu kill them all......"

Chu Yi said ruthlessly, "The Flying Thieves Society's gang of rat thieves are innocent, you don't need to sympathize." If the holy book is not recovered, I will see one and kill the other, and destroy the other when I meet a pair!"

I'm afraid that if the holy books are recovered, you can't spare the people of the Flying Thieves Society!" Chris thought to himself.

"Brother Xian is so maintained, but who knows the Flying Pirate Society?"

Chris opened his eyes in surprise, only to see Chu Zhen's cold face appear in front of him. The cold hairs behind Chu Xuan's words stood up, and she suddenly felt that Chu Xuan in front of her was so terrifying.

"No, no......" Chris exclaimed: Just like Qin Yujiu who was full of hatred, Chu Yi hated the Flying Thieves Club so much that he was afraid that he would not be able to persuade him to say a word or two. In short, I can't let them know that I have something to do with the other party's big enemy! Fortunately, I met them in different capacities, and if we met, I should not know them. As for the case if they run into each other and want to kill you to the death, that's your business, it's a big deal that I don't help anyone!

Chu Zhen stared at it for a while, then suddenly shook his head and sighed: "Brother Xian's heart is too kind, how do you know that the rivers and lakes are sinister!"

Chris secretly said in his heart that it was dangerous, and he knew that persuasion was useless, but he still had to say: "Anyway, my first condition is to find out the real murderer! Very few people in the world know that the holy book is just a few wooden boards, and how can outsiders know the value of this wooden board for such a private matter? Then it is very likely that this person is a member of your Ming Sect at all! You yourself just told Jian Shi that the big house is secretly set up by the Ming Sect and the crossbow, and most of your Ming Sect people are playing ghosts! Obviously, the clues are in front of you, and you don't go to check the ghosts inside, what are you doing staring at a group of thieves?"

After speaking, she closed her eyes again, uneasy that she was going to annoy Chu Yi again.

Chu Yi was stunned for a moment, and then was silent for a long time.

A gust of wind blew, and the bonfire was flickering in the wind. With his eyes closed, Chris could only hear the crackling of firewood echoing through the woods. was anxious, but when he heard laughter, Chu Zhen said loudly: "Brother Xian is not only sharp-toothed, but also amazing!"

Chris opened one eye slightly, and seeing that he was not annoyed, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Brother promised you that I will thoroughly investigate this matter, and if you don't find out the person behind the scenes, you will not give up!" Chu Yi said solemnly: "However, there is one more thing, I want to ask clearly! How can there be two pieces of holy books in the hands of the virtuous brother, and where did you know about many of the secret things?"

After all, he couldn't escape this question, Chris noticed that Chu Zhen's gaze began to become sharp again, and he hurriedly said: "Brother Chu, let me ask you first, is the person who made the holy book called Bi Sheng?"

"Exact......ly! How do you know?" Chu Zhen's eyes widened.

Looking at Chu Zhen's surprised look, Chris said a little proudly: "Hehe, the father of a friend of mine happens to be Bi Sheng's confidant!"

The palm scripture made Bi Sheng Chu Hui fall into deep thought.

Before joining Mingjiao, Bi Sheng had been working as an apprentice in a printing workshop in Hangzhou. Later, because Mingjiao also wanted to publish scriptures, he also opened a printing workshop in Hangzhou, and let Bi Sheng be in charge of it. Bi Sheng took over the printing work during the day, and also took the apprentices by the way, and it was late at night that he began to print the scriptures of Mingjiao. Bi Sheng has been in charge of the scriptures for more than 40 years, and has won the trust of the old sect leader.

Chris saw that Chu Zhen was fascinated by his thoughts, and continued: "My friend's father is also fond of skillful things, and often wanders around the market in micro-clothes, looking for skilled craftsmen. Later, when I met Bi Sheng, I was very interested in his printing technology, and the two went back and forth, and they became inseparable friends. They confessed their identities to each other and have been dating in secret. ā€

She stopped, glanced at Chu Xuan, and said, "It's like you and Jian Shi are like this......"

"I've never heard of Bi Sheng having any dealings with court officials. Chu Yi said slowly, "However, since he deliberately concealed it, I don't know that this relationship is normal." ā€

Chris nodded, and then told the story of the holy book he bought from Qingzhou, but he bought two pieces at a time instead. She explained that she was ordered by the Queen Mother to print Buddhist scriptures for the Great Xiangguo Temple, so she paid attention to the purchase of printing objects on weekdays, but she actually bought these two boards in an antique store.

"I didn't know it was a holy book, I just thought I had bought a printed movable type. When I returned to Beijing, I asked a friend who was familiar with printing to come and examine the two plates. My friend came to see it and was surprised. And he told me the story of the book. Chris raised his eyes to look at Chu Zhen, and said, "Brother Chu, that friend of mine is Lord Shen Kuoshen!"

Chris spoke eloquently, and Chu Zhen listened attentively. She is eloquent, and most of what she says is true, but she has changed a little bit of the details, and it sounds naturally watertight.

Since Chu Jian came to the capital to carry out activities, he has paid great attention to collecting information from all aspects, and has a lot to know about the officials in the imperial court. Of course he knew Shen Kuo, so when Chris said that the friend was Shen Kuo, he was already convinced of Chris's words. Listening to Jian Xian, the water dragon used to save them from the sea of fire that day was made by Shen Kuo and Yuan Xiaoxian's brother together, thinking that this Shen Kuo must also be a person who loves and is good at organs, so his father's relationship with Bi Sheng is of course very reasonable. Besides, Hangzhou is the territory of Mingjiao, this kind of thing, with a little inquiry, you can know that it is impossible for Yuan Xiaoxian to cheat.

At this time, Chu Zhen felt very relieved, and said secretly: I'm afraid that it was the thief who stole these two boards in the first place, and found that this was indeed a wooden board that was meaningless to him, so he sold it to an antique store. I've been tracking down the whereabouts of the holy book on the rivers and lakes, and I'm not going to go into any antique shops at all. If it weren't for the fact that Brother Xian likes these things on weekdays, I'm afraid I won't be able to find these two pieces of holy books in my life! Brother Xian really should be the lucky star of my Ming Sect! Fortunately, thanks to the old sect master's spiritual protection in heaven, although the holy book was lost among the people, it was not covered with dust in the end.
