Lin Fengshi paused for a moment, his eyes became lighter, and he continued: "Jiangzuo is too far away from the capital. It is difficult for the three of us, mother and son, to enter the capital smoothly. We can only seek the protection of an escort. However, the cost of an escort master is too high. Our expenses were not enough, so we had no choice but to ask the escort to send us to Qiongcheng. Then we entered the capital alone. Qiongcheng is adjacent to the capital on the left and right. It can be regarded as the emperor's feet. No gangsters will appear in any case. no?"
It stands to reason that this is indeed the case.
There is only one official road between Qiongcheng and Beijing, and the possibility of causing trouble is extremely low. But Lin Fengshi said so, which means that this road may not be safe.
Yun Chuyao couldn't help but feel her heart sink when she heard Lin Fengshi's vague sarcasm, and she vaguely realized that something was wrong.
"I didn't expect that we actually met."
At this point, Lin Fengshi's mood fluctuated obviously, but he still clenched his fists, suppressed his anger, and continued: "When we set off from Qiongcheng, the sun was bright, like a sunny day, but when we arrived At noon, the sky became cloudy and started to drizzle. I was afraid that my mother and sister would get sick, so I had to put them in a ruined temple and go out to collect firewood. When I came back, my sister had been raped. He was taken away, and my mother’s head was beaten to pieces by them.”
"How old is your sister?"
Yun Chuyao suddenly spoke.
Lin Fengshi's eyelashes trembled slightly, and an unknown emotion flashed through his pale eyes. He whispered, "Twelve years old."
Twelve years old, Jiangzuo accent...
"This is the reason why you are standing guard at the door of Master Lu's house," Yun Chuyao looked at him steadily and asked, but although it was a question, she used a positive tone, obviously guessing Lin Fengshi's thoughts.
"yes."
Lin Fengshi did not deny it and said bluntly: "The amulet that fell from Master Lu's arms when he fell down was exactly the personal belongings of his roommate."
She thought that by seeing the amulet, she would be able to find clues to her sister's disappearance, but she didn't expect God to be merciful. The fall that Master Lu suffered actually broke her head and left her in a coma for several days. When she woke up, her head was broken. The front and back of the house were guarded by guards. It would be impossible for me to get in again.
Lin Fengshi could only squat at the entrance of the alley, waiting for the opportunity.
Then, he met Yun Chuyao.
It was a coincidence that when he was hiding behind the wall, he happened to overhear the conversation between Yun Chuyao and the maid, and he also learned the secret of the Shantang tunnel leading directly to Hanshan outside the city. Naturally, he became suspicious of Hanshan Temple, so he took advantage of the opportunity. On Buddha Bathing Day, I entered the temple and wanted to investigate the truth.
Soon, Lin Fengshi revealed all his intentions, and then he looked at Yun Chuyao steadily and asked her: "I wonder if your highness the princess has any clues?"
Yun Chuyao smiled half-heartedly: "Isn't the fact that we can stand here the biggest clue?"
Lin Fengshi's pupils shrank!
"If I guessed correctly, there must be a secret here," Yun Chuyao raised her chin, pointed at her feet, and said word by word.
"Take me with you."
Lin Fengshi said.
"You?" Yun Chuyao frowned slightly before saying, "If I remember correctly, Mr. Lin seems to have never learned martial arts. Do you know how many monks there are in this temple and how many enemies there are underground? If you dare to follow me, I don’t dare to take you.”
Lin Fengshi's brain is powerful enough, Yun Chuyao also admits this, but he is a weak scholar after all. No matter how strong Yun Chuyao's martial arts is, there is no way to protect him.
What's more, this place is too dangerous. Even Yun Chuyao himself is not sure that he can leave intact.
How dare you bring an oil bottle?
"I don't need anyone's protection. Even when you are in danger, I can protect you from leaving." Lin Fengshi pursed his lips, which turned slightly white. "Your Highness, please take me with you."
Yun Chuyao frowned slightly.
"It's not that I don't trust you," Lin Fengshi said in a hard voice, "but my sister-in-law is too important to me, and I can't..."
I can't put all my hopes on others.
This is not fair to the princess.
It is also irresponsible to my sister.
Yun Chuyao was speechless for a moment.
Mr. Lin's temper is really the same in his past life and this life, and he will never change it at all. Once it is something he has decided to do, no matter what price he has to pay, he will never regret it. She used to be grateful for his persistence, but now she doesn't. I just feel a headache.
"I promise you."
Yun Chuyao said seriously: "But we agreed in advance that if we are really in danger, we must take a long-term approach and cannot risk our lives just because of impulse. It would be best if we can find clues and evidence. It would be more appropriate to report it directly to the official." What do you think?"
Lin Fengshi nodded naturally.
So, the two of them took advantage of the cover of night to search in the temple.
I don’t know if the monks of Hanshan Temple are afraid of the fire in the forest, are prepared for the temple’s redevelopment, or are worried that someone has strayed into the “forbidden area”. In short, they look very nervous and are patrolling back and forth in groups of three or three. Yun Chu Yao and Yao had not walked a few steps when they saw two or three waves of young monks.
Fortunately, Yun Chuyao had been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and his steps were very light. Lin Fengshi beside him was also cautious. He made almost no sound when he took steps, and he managed to avoid the patrols without any risk.
But the clues were never found.
Yun Chuyao moved very quickly. In less than a quarter of an hour, he searched several rooms, including the abbot's residence, but he couldn't find out anything. He couldn't help but frown and his expression became more serious.
It seems that the other party is more dangerous and cautious than they thought.
"Your Highness."
Lin Fengshi opened his thin lips slightly, but did not make a sound. Instead, he used his eyes to signal Yun Chuyao to look forward.
Yun Chuyao looked up.
It is the Buddhist hall of Hanshan Temple.
She had never been to this place, but she expected that it was also a solemn and solemn place. After all, the statue of Buddha was to be enshrined. How could it be so perfunctory?
Logically speaking, a devout Buddhist should not tamper with such a sacred place as the Buddhist temple.
But then she thought about it, if Hanshan Temple was really related to that major case, the monks in the temple might not be very clean. How could they respect and believe in the Buddha?
It’s better to check it out!
After Yun Chuyao made up her mind, she winked at Lin Fengshi and motioned for him to follow her, while she walked forward slowly, like a shadow in the dark night, sneaking into the Buddhist hall step by step.
A statue of Buddha with a golden body was revealed.
Yun Chuyao bowed sincerely.
Then walked into the palace.
In her previous life, she did not believe in gods, Buddhas, or ghosts, but now that she thinks about it, she has been reborn. Do you think there is reincarnation in this world, right? If you have the chance, let's pay homage.
Not asking for blessing, just asking for peace of mind.
