5. Chapter 5

At first glance, this room is not much different from other rooms.

At most, the window paper is thicker, the roof beams are lower than elsewhere, and the light is dim, so candles are lit in the house during the day, which makes people feel a little depressed.

In addition, the furnishings are all-in-one and look very new. Even the gaps on the floor of the counter are not as burrs that have been rubbed over the years.

Cui Bulu glanced at him and said, "It turns out that there are no people living here, right?"

Feng Xiao smiled and said, "The people live in, but they turned out to be the side room where the slaves live. I have someone redesign it and it will be the torture room of Jiejian Mansion for the time being."

Faced with such a naked threat, Cui Bulu said: "What do you mean is to torture me?"

Feng Xiao half-squatted down and looked at him in a straight line: "Look, your reaction is not like an innocent ordinary person at all. How could I not doubt you?"

Cui Buqu said helplessly: "At least you are reasonable. If I shout for justice now, you will let me go? Even if Qin has any connection with Zixia Temple, it is the Zixia Temple in the past. I don't know that woman at all! You must have searched Zixia Temple all over. Have you found anything suspicious?"

Feng Xiao said: "There is Baiyun Temple with more incense in this city. Why don't you go there?"

Cui Buqu: "It's better to be a chicken head than a phoenix tail. Zixia is waiting to be rebuilt. If I support it, I will have the final say in the future. It's better to be free than to live under someone else's roof. There is no need to say more about this principle, right?"

Feng Xiao shook his head: "Unreasonable. Two months ago, Linlang Pavilion just released news that this year's auction will be held in the Liugong City Branch. It's neither early nor late, but you came at this time, which is so coincidental that people are suspicious. The envoy of Khotan died, and the Qin family and the treasures disappeared. Maybe the treasure will be walked around outside and will appear in Liugong City again. Why are you here? Qin family? Or treasures? Where are the things hidden? Zixia Temple, or at the auction of Linlang Pavilion?"

Cui Bulu: "Your Excellency's words make me more and more confused."

Feng Xiao: "It doesn't matter. Think about it carefully here. Let me know when I figure it out."

Cui Bulu said, "My health has never been very good, and I'm afraid I can't stand any severe torture."

Feng Xiao said meaningfully: "Do you think the physical pain is the most difficult thing in this world?"

After he said that, he got up and walked out without waiting for Cui Bu to answer.

Pei Jingzhe glanced at Cui Bu and followed closely behind.

In a moment, the people in the room were removed cleanly.

A few candles were turned off, and as soon as the door was closed, the room immediately became dim.

Immediately, the windows that were laid out outside were pulled down. I don’t know what Feng Xiao ordered, and each window was sealed with a few layers of black veil outside, completely isolating the only light.

At this moment, the house was completely unable to see its fingers. Not to mention the sound of footsteps outside, even the worms and birds could not hear the sounds of the worms and birds.

The quiet night leads to melancholy thoughts, and many literati are worried, but it is the quietness accompanied by the pine wind and bright moon. Once the silence reaches its extreme, it becomes an extremely terrible thing.

The moment Cui Bugu closed the door, his face turned cold, and he no longer had the helplessness and anger he had shown specifically just now.

When he was covered in black outside the window, he even sneered.

Cui didn't know what the other party wanted to do.

If all five senses are lost, people will easily think randomly and become confused when they are extremely quiet and bored.

No one speaks, even if he shouts, he will only hear his own echo. He doesn't know whether it's day or night outside, it's okay for a day or two. On the fourth and fifth days, or even ten days and half a month, he will forget the passage of time, and in the end he will not know whether he is alive or dead, or in the world of the world or hell.

No matter how tough a man is, under such silent torture, he is afraid that he will cry and beg for mercy in the end.

Cui Buqu once saw with his own eyes that a gangster who is good at double swords and famous in the martial arts world in Jiangdong was forced to stay in such a house for half a month. After he came out, he was covered with scars, which were all wounds he cut. He could only feel that he was still a living person through the pain of self-harm.

If you kill people without blood, it is mostly the method of Jiejian Mansion.

Now, such a method has been used on Cui Buqu.

I believe Feng Xiao has already been sure that no matter how strange it is, it is absolutely impossible to stay in such a house for half a month. At that time, he will naturally answer questions and see whether it is true or false.

Cui Bu went to pick up the puff pad, fumbled inside the house, found a pillar, and sat down with his back cross-legged.

He knows martial arts, but he has also learned some health skills in breathing and breathing. He closed his eyes and started practicing repeatedly, his mind was empty, and he abandoned all distracting thoughts.

Although some monks and Taoists can enter into meditation for several days or even more than ten days at any time, they are masters who have been practicing profoundly since childhood. They are incomparable to ordinary monks, let alone ordinary people who roll in the soft red of ten feet.

Even he himself didn't know how long Cui didn't go, but he knew that Feng Xiao would definitely not let him go so easily.

Jie Jian Mansion will not be the only way.

...

"Mr., it's been three days." Pei Jingzhe put down a cup of new tea and said.

"Well, what three days?" Feng Xiao was looking down at the news coming from Qiemo City, and responded casually.

"That Master Cui has been in that room for three days. He knows how to do martial arts. If he continues, something may happen." Pei Jingzhe reminded.

"You have never been killed by your own hands, why did you suddenly feel pity for a Taoist priest?" Feng Xiao looked up and glanced at him.

Pei Jingzhe said unjustly: "Are you afraid of ruining your big deal? Since this person is suspicious, if he dies, wouldn't he have cut off an important clue?"

Feng Xiao did not answer him and handed over the letter in his hand.

Pei Jingzhe took it and read it carefully. He said astonishedly: "It's indeed Tianchi's jade gall! In order to please His Majesty, he sent troops to help him deal with the Turks. King Yutian has spent a lot of money this time!"

Feng Xiao: "When Yuchi Jinwu is dead, King Yutian will send envoys again, but the case must be investigated clearly and the jade gall must be found."

Pei Jingzhe smiled and said, "If this case is solved, I'm afraid you will not be able to avoid the Princess of Xiangguo. Isn't your original intention to leave Beijing now..."

Before he finished speaking, Feng Xiao's eyes gently swept, almost bit his tongue, and quickly restrained his laughter and said seriously: "My subordinates judge that Qin's disappearance is related to the jade gallbladder. If you find her, you should be able to find the jade gallbladder."

Yu Gan disappeared outside the city. The murderer took Yu Gan and could only go to two places, either entering Liugong City or running directly to Qiemo City.

But at the end of the journey to Khotan, this trip is equivalent to walking back. The other party cannot hide in the wild with treasures. The most likely one is to lie down in Liugong City, take advantage of the auction of Linlang Pavilion, and then use a little disguise and transport it across Ming Road.

Pei Jingzhe: "It is now related to the Qin family, there are three clues in total, Yu

Say--this is a gorgeous dividing line---

Say ----This is a gorgeous dividing line-

There is no strange thing found in the Buddhist temple yet. It is likely that it is just used by Qin to confuse the public. In Zixia Temple, the subordinates led people to search it several times, but it is not suspicious. Only the aunt's house where Qin Miaoyu had been staying before was found that her aunt's family moved to Jincheng to live. A fire broke out in Jincheng half a month ago. It was found that the autumn dry things were irritating and the children were playing with fire. Her aunt's family of six people were also killed in this fire. Coincidentally, when their family died, it was probably when Yuchi Jinwu set out from Yutian and came to the Central Plains."

After a pause, he continued, seeing that Feng Xiao did not interrupt, he continued, "So his subordinates suspected that Qin Miaoyu's identity should be fake from beginning to end. She was deliberately trying to win the attention of Yuchi Jinwu, and went to Yutian with him to approach Tianchi Yugan."

Feng Xiao said: "She has been a concubine for Yuchi Jinwu for four or five years. How could she expect that the King of Khotan would definitely send Yuchi Jinwu to the Central Plains this time? "

Pei Jingzhe was stunned, and then realized his mistake in his thinking: "Will it be the real Qin Miaoyu that was replaced after Yuchi confirmed his mission?"

If you want to blame the death of the envoy of Khotan to the Great Sui Dynasty, the best choice is to let the Yuchi Jinwu die in the inn prepared by the Sui Dynasty and steal the jade gall at the same time, so as to maximize the relationship between the Great Sui Dynasty and Khotan.

But in this way, as the most beloved concubine of Yuchi Jinwu, Qin's family inevitably had to go to the city and deal with relatives and friends of Liugong City. Her identity is very likely to be exposed, but the one that is most likely to be exposed is her former close aunt's family, so Qin's aunt must die.

Perhaps the plan changed, which led to the Qin family having to take action outside the city. Perhaps the robbery and killing were not the same as the Qin family. This case was confusing, and even they could not clear away the fog for a while.

Pei Jingzhe said: "As you have asked the magistrate Zhao County to limit the number of people entering and leaving the city gate every day, and personally lead people there to search carefully, so that they will never let them disguise themselves. However, there is some trouble in Linlang Pavilion."

Feng Xiao frowned slightly: "What's the trouble?"

Pei Jingzhe smiled bitterly: "Behind Linlang Pavilion are members of the Li clan of Longxi and Cui clan of Boling, and supported by Princess Leping. Your Majesty has always felt guilty and indulged in Princess Leping. You also know that you are afraid that the murderer will use this to mix his jade gall into this auction and then take it out of the city openly."

Feng Xiao stood up and sneered: "So what about Princess Leping? You have to submit to your father and brother and follow the trend. When will the Linlang Pavilion auction start?"

Pei Jingzhe: "Tomorrow, my subordinates have ordered people to secretly stare at their every move. Once there is any suspicious thing at the auction, they will be detained immediately."

Feng Xiao: "Yuchi Jinwu and his party died outside the city. It is impossible for them to have no hearing about such a major event. They will only be more careful when doing things, you..."

Before he finished speaking, a servant from Jiejian Mansion hurried inside outside.

"Langjun, there is a fight in Ruyi Inn, someone died! Zhao County Magistrate comes over and asks you to come over and take a look first."

In ordinary murder cases, there is no need to disturb Jie Jian Mansion. County Magistrate Zhao will come here, which can only explain that he cannot afford to offend the identities of both parties in the murder case. He wants to invite Feng Xiao, the great Buddha, to take charge.

Feng Xiao nodded: "I'll go there."

Pei Jingzhe hurriedly asked for instructions: "Let's wait, my husband, what should I do if he refuses to give in?"

Feng Xiao said, "Give him some Naihexiang."

Pei Jingzhe showed a look of surprise and hesitation: "If he can't stand it..."

Feng Xiao: "It doesn't matter if you lose someone, just keep a breath."
