Hua Yitang put on such a pretentious pose and spoke such pretentious lines. Lin Sui'an thought that his next sentence would be the final word and provide decisive evidence. Unexpectedly, she heard -
"You are traveling between the two houses through a secret passage!"
Lin Sui'an almost ducked: What the hell? !
This guy actually said that the flaw in Jiang Dongyi's alibi was a secret passage. If this was placed in the original reasoning, the reader would send a razor blade.
"Hahahahaha!" Jiang Dongyi's laughter caused the blood pool on the ground to tremble and ripple, reflecting his distorted facial features, "Did everyone hear it? He actually said that I dug a secret tunnel?! This is what I heard. The funniest joke! Hanashiro, are you crazy?! How can the majestic Eastern Capital, the capital of the country, be able to dig holes like a mouse?"
Bai Xiang hugged his head and ducked under the table, Su Yiyun sat slumped next to the pillar, Bai Ruyi huddled in the curtain, wrapped like a silkworm chrysalis, with only a pair of eyes exposed, and the remaining several aristocratic family members hugged each other, because Hua Yitang Then, the extremely frightened expression was filled with extremely absurd colors, which looked quite funny.
Even Ling Zhiyan stared at him with a shocked look like "Hanashiro, do you know what you are talking about?"
Lin Sui'an didn't know what his expression was now, but judging from the twitching feeling on his forehead, he probably didn't look good.
"It would be impossible for an ordinary person, but for someone from the Jiang family in Taiyuan, it would be easy." Hua Yitang said.
"Oh? How do I open this secret tunnel? When do I start digging? How many days does it take to dig? Where is the excavated soil transported? From where to dig? It is to dig through the wall of Fan Baniang's house. Are we going to dig into the Qiuyuan guesthouse again?"
"Of course not. You started from outside the back wall of Qiuyuan Guest House, walked along the main street through Yongtai Fang, Nanshi Fang Gate, Hongqiao Fang Neiqu Gate, and finally returned to Fan Bajia."
Ling Zhiyan became anxious and lowered her voice: "Huashiro, what are you talking about? How could there be such a secret passage?!"
Hua Yitang: "Of course!"
Su Yiyun shook his legs and stood up, "That's nonsense. If it's such a secret passage, wouldn't it mean that we have to dig through the entire Hongqiaofang and half of Yongtaifang?! Hua Yitang, in order to frame the Jiang family, , so confusing right and wrong, and spitting blood, it is simply ridiculous!"
A group of students from aristocratic families also agreed, but because Lin Sui'an was still intimidating from the battle just now, they only dared to beep quietly.
Lin Sui'an noticed that when everyone was retorting, the smile on Jiang Dongyi's face quietly changed, from the look of a clown just now to one with murderous intent.
"When did I say that the secret passage must be underground?" Hua Yitang shook his fan, "Jiang Dongyi's secret passage was built above the ground!"
Bai Xiang stuck his head out and yelled: "What nonsense are you talking about? Is that a secret passage on the ground? Isn't that just fair and square -"
"That's right, it's an open and honest secret passage!"
Lin Sui'an heard a "ding" in her head, and she suddenly understood. Ling Zhiyan's eyes flashed, and she had obviously thought of it too.
Yes, the seemingly well-defended inner-city curfew system in Dongdu actually has an upright or blatant "secret passage". Lin Sui'an and the others came from the imperial city Dali Temple through this "secret passage" unimpeded. Here we are.
Hua Yitang: "You lied that you left the banquet drunkenly at the time of Youzheng. The gate of the square was not closed at that time. You changed your clothes and disguised yourself to enter Yongtai Square without being noticed. During this period, you only had to bribe a few prostitutes to pay for your services." You cover up and say that you are resting in Mrs. Fan Ba's house - no, maybe you don't need to do this at all. All the people stationed inside and outside Fan Ba's family are Jiang's Jinyu Guards. Fan Ba's family has long been your territory, and even if It doesn’t matter if someone sees you leaving, what matters is how you come back.”
"You came to Yongtaifang, went around the back wall of Qiuyuan Guest House, climbed over the wall and entered the guest house, knocked on Shan Yuanming's door, and after extorting a confession and finding nothing, you killed him and took away Shan Yuan. Ming's property, disguised as a robber, broke into the house and killed people. At this time, it was already past Xu, and the door was closed. You deliberately made noise in the house to let the people in the guest house discover the body. When there was chaos inside and outside the guest house, you took advantage of it. He blended into the crowd, and returned to Fan Ba's house from Yongtai Fang through this open and honest secret passage without any hindrance. He took off his disguise, changed his clothes, and appeared in front of everyone."
"In this way, everyone will think that you have been at Fan Ba's house. Everyone, including me, has become your alibi witness." Hua Yitang said, "Speaking of this, everyone must have guessed that this is an honest and fair way. What’s the secret passage?”
Everyone looked at each other, but they didn't dare to say a word.
Hua Yitang sneered and said loudly: "It's the "night order"!"
"It's simply wild speculation and nonsense!" Su Yiyun shouted, "The night order is related to the public security of the Eastern Capital. All officials who need the night order must be reported by the Yamen where the officials are located in accordance with the laws and regulations. After verification and approval one by one, they can be distributed by each government department. How can it be obtained casually?!"
"Dang!" A blood-stained purple silk handkerchief was thrown into the center of the main hall, and inside the handkerchief happened to be a night order.
There was a sudden silence in the hall.
"It is indeed the Jingzhao Mansion that is responsible for reviewing the list of personnel assigned to the night marching orders, but it is the Jinwu Guards who are responsible for customizing the night marching orders." Jin Ruo kicked the Jinyu Guards who were blocking the way with his baggage and stepped into the hall. His feet were a little lame, his forehead was bruised, and there was a cut on his cheekbone. It was obvious that he had just fought with someone. "This night order was found in Fan Baniang's house."
Ling Zhiyan suddenly said: "Jiang Hongguang, the newly appointed right general of the Jinwu Guard a month and a half ago, is a descendant of the Taiyuan Jiang family."
Jin Ruo: "For Jin Wuwei, making an extra night order is easier than farting."
"Jiang Dongyi is right about one thing," Hua Yitang said solemnly, "The ones who dig holes in the majestic Eastern Capital, the capital of the country, are the great rats of the country like you!"
Lin Sui'an saw that Su Yiyun, who had just retorted with indignation, turned pale, and couldn't help but sneer in his heart: This is the so-called "people's thinking" that limits imagination. For ordinary people - even for people like the Su family who have declined. For an aristocratic family, it is difficult to get a piece of "Xiao Xing Ling", but for a high-ranking and privileged family like the Taiyuan Jiang family, it is just a matter of moving their fingers. Perhaps, they are too lazy to even move their fingers. With just a look, the person below who wants to flatter you has already arranged everything.
Jiang Dongyi smiled, "This is something from Lady Fan Bashi's room, what does it have to do with me?"
When he said this, Fan Baniang, who was huddled among the prostitutes, suddenly trembled.
Hua Yitang picked up the purple handkerchief that wrapped the Xiaoxing Order and shook it, "What about this?"
Bai Ruyi said "Ah!" and suddenly looked at Bai Xiang. Bai Xiang was frightened and shook his head repeatedly, "No, that's impossible!"
Hua Yitang twisted the silk handkerchief, "This is made of Qingzhou's unique silk. The embroidery on it is also the most popular pattern in Guangdu. It is much larger than the handkerchiefs used by women. It is obviously a men's thing——"
"I remembered!" Bai Xiang screamed, "This handkerchief is the residual wine I used to wipe my body. No, no, it was a prostitute who knocked over my wine and snatched my handkerchief. I wiped it for me, but then said it was dirty and wanted to throw it away for me!"
Hua Yitang: "Which prostitute? Can you still recognize her?"
"Of course!" Bai Xiang staggered to his feet, glanced at the crowd of prostitutes, and immediately spotted a prostitute, "That's her!"
The prostitute was trembling with fear, tears rolling down her face, "I don't know! I don't know anything!"
"Don't, don't embarrass her," Fan Baniang knelt down and moved out. The delicate makeup on her face had been washed away by sweat into a strange ravine shape. She tried her best to control her trembling voice, "This veil is, I think the pattern is good-looking, I put it away on purpose, and the night order is also mine!"
Hua Yitang: "Yours?"
Fan Baniang nodded fiercely, "Sirang Huajia must also know that Fan Bazhi's business is mostly at night, so it is naturally more convenient to have night orders."
"Where's the blood on it?"
"This, this..."
Hua Yitang's expression darkened, "Fan Baniang, have you thought clearly?"
Fan Baniang kowtowed hard: "It is indeed——"
An inexplicable light flashed in Hua Yitang's eyes, and he stretched out the handkerchief with both hands to interrupt Fan Baniang's words, "It's a pity, a very good handkerchief has become threadbare."
As soon as these words came out, everyone except Lin Sui'an and others were stunned.
Fang Ke floated over like a shadow and glanced at it, "The silk of this veil is the same as the remaining silk found in Shan Yuanming's body. It should be the piece that the murderer stuffed into Shan Yuanming's mouth."
Fan Baniang raised her eyes suddenly, and her eyes were bloodshot.
Hua Yitang's voice suddenly became sharp: "Does the Fan Ba family's business also include killing people?!"
"No, no, no, no! No!" Fan Baniang burst into tears and kowtowed to the ground.
"Fan Baniang, Dongdu is the capital of the Tang Dynasty. Under the feet of the saint, no matter who he is or what his family background is, anyone who violates the laws of the Tang Dynasty will be punished according to the law!" Although Ling Zhiyan seemed to be talking to Fan Baniang, his eyes were fixed on Jiang Dongyi, "The murderer , you should be killed according to the law!"
"These are not my things!" Fan Baniang screamed.
Hua Yitang: "Whose thing is that?!"
"I don't know! I don't know!" Fan Baniang's forehead hit the ground with a thud, but after a few hits, blood was already oozing out.
"Since it's not yours, then someone left it in your room," Lin Sui'an said, "If I remember correctly, only one person has entered Mrs. Fan Ba's boudoir tonight."
"That's right," Hua Yitang said, "Brother Jiang also praised Mrs. Fan Ba's bed for being fragrant and soft!"
Jiang Dongyi shook his neck carelessly, picked up a bowl of wine, drank it, gargled it in his mouth, and spat it out, "This prostitute's words are inconsistent with the words at the beginning and the end. It is not credible at all, not to mention that this veil is too common. It's not unusual to have silk threads. It's too reluctant to use this as evidence."
Lin Sui'an calmly took half a step forward and quietly warned Ling Zhiyan and Jin Ruo to be careful. Jiang Dongyi's muscles were tense and his murderous intent was overwhelming. He was probably planning to do it himself. Jin Yuwei is already so difficult to deal with, and he himself must be even more difficult to deal with.
It seems that the second half is the real tough battle!
"What about this?!" Jin Ruo threw the cloth bag in his hand, and the contents spilled all over the floor. There were several pieces of burnt black cloth, "I snatched it from two of your subordinates. , it should have been burned long ago, but it’s a pity that those two people were just drinking and having fun, and didn’t pay attention to whether the bloody clothes had been burned clean.”
"Ah," Hua Yitang squatted down and used a fan to pick up a piece of black cloth with burnt edges. "There seems to be blood on it. Could it be that this is what Brother Jiang was wearing when he killed Shan Yuanming?" He picked up another piece of black cloth. A piece of thicker black cloth, "Ah, is this the cloak that Brother Jiang put on to cover his bloody clothes? Oh, here are half-burned boots, and the soles are also stained with blood."
Jiang Dongyi sneered: "How can a few rags be used as evidence when they are burned like this?!"
"Ah, ah, ah, what is this?" Hua Yitang pulled out a bulging purse from the burnt rags. Listening to the sound, it was filled with copper coins.
Jin Ruo: "The person responsible for burning the clothes hid it secretly."
Hua Yitang stood up with the purse in hand, and took out the small purse found under Shan Yuanming's floor and put it together, "What a coincidence, these two purses are exactly the same style and color. You might as well guess, Hua Yitang Where did the purse in someone’s hand come from?”
Everyone lowered their heads, not even daring to look. Only Bai Xiang suddenly jumped up and shouted, "I have seen that big purse. Shan Yuanming was wearing this purse when he went to the banquet!"
Bai Ruyi tugged at his sleeve frantically, "Bai Sanlang, be careful what you say! Be careful what you say!"
Bai Xiang shook it off, "Be careful with your nonsense! He stole my handkerchief and wanted to put the murder charge on me, so he wanted to force me to die! No matter what, it's death, and I have to let him go first." die!"
Hua Yitang glanced at Bai Xiang in surprise, then turned to Jiang Dongyi, "Jiang Dongyi, how do you explain that Shan Yuanming's lost property is here?"
Jiang Dongyi laughed twice, untied his robe and threw it on the ground, tightening his wrist guards, "I have no grudges with Shan Yuanming. We have never even met. Why should I kill him?"
"Probably because of this." Hua Yitang took out the copper key from his sleeve and said.
When Hua Yitang made a move to retrieve something, Jiang Dongyi's pupils shrank sharply, but when he saw what was in Hua Yitang's hand, his pupils returned to normal and he smiled, "For a key?"
"The important thing is not the key, but what is locked by the key -" Hua Yitang said, "It is something that can drive you crazy!"
"Oh? What is it? You might as well take it out and ask everyone to look at it in detail."
Jiang Dongyi's smile grew bigger. He had already discovered that Hua Yitang only found the key, but not the thing hidden by the key. This thing will become an eternal secret and will be buried under a pool of blood forever with Shan Yuanming's death.
This Hua Yitang is just a bluff!
Suddenly, Jiang Dongyi's smile stopped.
Because Hua Yitang laughed, and what was even weirder was that Lin Sui'an beside him also laughed. The two looked at each other and said "ha, ha, ha" three times, and shouted in unison: "It's a scroll book!"
There was a buzz in Jiang Dongyi's head, as if a bucket of ice water was poured over his head, making his whole body feel cold.
Hua Yitang: "The title of the book is quite interesting. It is a poem: When flowers bloom, they must be broken."
Jiang Dongyi's ears buzzed: "Shut up!"
"The bright red binding rope is four inches long, and the cover is made of green silk." Lin Sui'an recalled all the details in Golden Finger. "There is a seal under the title of the book that says Feng——"
"Shut up! Shut up!!" Jiang Dongyi interrupted Lin Sui'an with a sharp shout. Lin Sui'an smiled and shut her mouth - in fact, she didn't read the words in the seal clearly at all.
"This scroll book is in that box," Hua Yitang pointed to the big wooden box at Fang Ke's feet, "How about just like Brother Jiang said, how about taking it out and reviewing it with everyone in detail?"
As soon as these words came out, Ling Zhiyan and Jin Ruo were both shocked and looked at Fang Ke. Fang Ke probably had facial muscles atrophied due to his lack of expression for many years. He only glanced at Hua Yitang to express surprise. However, at this time How could Jiang Dongyi and his ilk understand the hidden look in his eyes? The strange blood-clothed man's eyes were extremely cold and sinister, as if he was hiding the most terrifying curse in the world.
The straw that broke the camel's back!
"He deserves to die! Shan Yuanming deserves to die! You deserve to die too! Everyone who knows the scroll book deserves to die! All of you will die here today! I will kill you all! Just like Shan Yuanming, one by one I'll break all of your fingers! I'll make you die with your eyes open!" Jiang Dongyi's eyes burst out, and bright red spider webs were instantly filled with white eyeballs. He kicked the table over with a bang, jumped into the air, and struck hard at Hua Yitang with his big fist. Smashed it hard.
Everyone changed their colors in shock. Even if they wanted to run away, their legs were already weak from fear, and they could only scream at the top of their lungs: "Ahhhhhh! Help, ahhhhhhh!!"
Lin Sui'an grabbed Hua Yitang's neck collar and swung it back, "Get out of the way!" Qian Jing suddenly unsheathed her sheath and swept towards Jiang Dongyi's fist. Unexpectedly, at this moment, Ling Zhiyan suddenly shouted, " Madam Lin, show mercy!"
As soon as she drank, Lin Sui'an suddenly realized something was wrong. Although Jiang Dongyi had shocking murderous intent, his speed was not as fast as she expected. Could it be that——
In the midst of the lightning and flint, Lin Sui'an suddenly changed his moves, raised his wrist half an inch, and the wind of the knife brushed Jiang Dongyi's scalp. He spun around in the air and kicked Jiang Dongyi hard on the butt. Jiang Dongyi didn't even hum. With a sound, it fell straight to the ground without any movement.
Lin Sui'an kept his flying legs and was completely confused.
Where is the Taiyuan County tiger that was promised?
Where is the fifth-ranked master in the world? !
Why is he such a weakling? !
"Jingzhao Mansion is investigating the case! Get out of here!"
"Dali Temple is investigating the case! All other people should stay out of the way!"
Wan Lin led a group of government officials from Jingzhao Mansion and rushed into the courtyard. Along with him, there were also government officials from Dali Temple. The leader was a young official in a red robe.
There were about thirty people in the two teams. They were all dumbfounded when they saw the tragic scenes inside and outside the main hall.
Lin Sui'an quickly retracted his legs and stood up, trying his best to reduce his presence.
"Ling Sizhi, this is -" the red-robed official walked quickly to Ling Zhiyan's side and lowered his voice, "Have you caught the murderer?"
Ling Zhiyan was stunned for a moment, then clasped her fists and said, "Return to Zhang Shaoqing, yes."
Hua Yitang unfolded his fan with a snap, "Jiang Dongyi personally admitted that he killed Shan Yuanming, and everyone here is a witness!"
Zhang Shaoqing took a breath and glanced at Ling Zhiyan again, who nodded.
Suddenly, Bai Xiang screamed, "Ms. Lin won! Mrs. Lin defeated Jiang Dongyi with only one move! Only one move!"
Zhang Shaoqing: "Eh?!"
"I'm saved! I'm saved!" Bai Ruyi pulled her sleeves and wiped away her tears.
Everyone burst into tears, the students hugged each other and cried, and the prostitutes burst into tears. The cries came and went in a variety of ways, which was comparable to the sound of drums and harps, and was more lively than the music played at the previous banquet.
Hua Yitang's eyes moved slightly, and he cupped his fists and saluted Lin Sui'an: "Jiang Dongyi is crazy and wants to kill us and silence us. We almost died here. Thank you Madam Lin for saving your life!"
This sentence was like a signal. The second person to stand up was Bai Ruyi, the third was Fan Baniang, and the fourth was Bai Xiang. Then, more and more people stood up and bowed to Lin Sui'an. Big gift:
"Thank you so much, Ms. Lin, for saving my life!"
Lin Sui'an was so worshiped that his scalp went numb, and he clasped his fists and shouted loudly, "I can't do it! I can't do it! It's just a small effort, ahem, no, what I mean is - ahem, I deserve such a great gift from you all!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes filled with tears, whether they were moved or shocked.
Hua Yitang came over and quickly shook his small fan towards Lin Sui'an, "Congratulations."
"Congratulations for what?" Lin Sui'an was confused.
Hua Yitang smiled as brightly as a spring flower, "Guess.":,,
