Chapter 351: Not harmful, insulting and breaking defense
Noon on the fourth day.
Cui Yingong put down the evidence and took up a pen to write down the case file skillfully.
As I was writing, the words in front of me suddenly overlapped, and my temples jumped.
He covered his eyebrows and pressed it.
I didn't sleep for three days and three nights.
Shaking his head hard, Cui Yingong looked at the seven or eight stacks of Buddhist scriptures left beside him and encouraged himself. According to this progress, he can indeed finish his work today and tomorrow.
He breathed a sigh of relief, feeling like he saw hope, but suddenly realized something was wrong: "If we deal with Li Yuanfang today, we won't have to work tomorrow! Why am I so relieved? It's all because of this inner guard! Sooner or later, I will
Destroy this inner guard!!"
After secretly swearing an oath, Cui Yingong looked outside again.
Outside the house, a figure was coming and going, the sword was cold and the wind was howling.
After Li Yuanfang worked for an hour, she went out to practice Qigong.
The inner guard was not surprised. Cui Yingong's eyes almost bulged out when he saw it at first.
This guy doesn't sleep at night and is very energetic during the day, but he can still practice martial arts?
Hearing is false and seeing is believing. After following Li Yuanfang personally for four days, no matter how proud he was, he had to admit that people are not the same as each other.
This guy that Yang Zaiwei admires very much is indeed a little bit more talented than him. No wonder he has gained such a great reputation at such a young age...
Li Yuanfang works double the time while others sleep. Is this okay?
A strong jealousy arose in Cui Yingong's heart, and murderous intent burst out in his eyes: "Practice, practice, Sanshen Powder is a slow poison. The faster your energy and blood circulate now, the faster the poison will attack. I won't do it then."
With just a little effort, I can get rid of this amazing detective like you!"
At this moment, An Shen's concerned voice came from the side: "Cui Sicheng, you'd better go and rest, your face looks so wrong."
Cui Yingong's face stiffened, and he quickly calmed down his fierce look: "Thank you An Wuwei for your concern. I am indeed a little tired, but it doesn't matter. Let's endure it a little longer and finish the work."
An Shengan gently patted his shoulder and praised sincerely: "Cui Sicheng should have transferred to our inner guard long ago. He worked so hard!"
Cui Yingong smiled and agreed a few times.
After An Shengan went back to sort out the letters, he knew that he could no longer pretend anymore, and secretly clenched his fists: "It's really the right time to start today. If it takes until tomorrow, I'm afraid I won't be able to lift the knife..."
"Hold on! Hold on! As soon as Li Yuanfang discovered something was wrong, I used their trust to induce the internal guards to suspect that it was a Shaolin monk who poisoned me. During the chaos, I came to Li Yuanfang and looked for an opportunity to strike.
The knife falls!"
"Afterwards, the blame was put on Zhi En. Zhenfa did not tell the young monk about me. He exposed the young monk's life experience and led to the scandal in Buddhism. When the water becomes muddy, who will doubt me?
Where is Hong Lusi Cheng of Jinyeye?"
Cui Yingong thought about the beauty and almost laughed out loud. He reluctantly cheered up, forced his eyelids open, and continued to read the Buddhist scriptures.
This time, I saw the sun setting again.
The work remains the same.
The inner guard held a few thick candles and lit them in front. Cui Yingong stared at the flames jumping, his eyes seemed to be crazy.
I don't know how much time passed, but when he saw that he was about to fall asleep while sitting, someone called out: "Cui Sicheng! Cui Sicheng!! Li Jiyi asked you to come over."
"Oh...okay! Okay!"
Cui Yingong stood up, staggered and almost fell over.
It's not pretending this time.
He stabilized his body and came outside the courtyard. He saw Li Yan standing with his hands behind his hands, admiring the bright moon in the sky: "Yin Gong, have you been up the mountain for almost four days?"
Cui Yingong nodded, trying to force out a smile, but couldn't, so he could only say: "Yes..."
Li Yan said: "In less than four days, I have worked for more than forty hours. It is really hard. Thanks to you doing three or four of them, the progress of our investigation has been much faster!"
Cui Yingong said modestly: "No, I rested the first night, and Li Jiyi also stayed awake. After fighting for so many days, he also went out to look for friends. It was even harder than us!"
Li Yan snorted and explained: "Actually, I didn't sleep all day long. After I went out to look for someone, I slept in the wing room. No matter how strong my martial arts is, I can't bear to stay up all day long. There's no need..."
Cui Yingong suddenly froze, his energy and blood flowed backwards, and his face quickly turned red.
This sentence was not harmful, but it was insulting and made him break his guard.
I worked overtime and stayed up all night for your internal guards. Li Yuanfang, you actually hid yourself and slept secretly??
Li Yan continued: "But just because I had enough sleep, I also saw the ins and outs of the case clearly."
Cui Yingong's facial features were distorted, and he couldn't even act respectful in his rage, so he asked directly: "I want to ask you, what is the ins and outs of Li Jiyi's revelation?"
Li Yandao: "The key to this case is actually the change in the murderer's motivation. This person's purpose in killing Shaolin San Gang was actually different."
"To be more precise, the murderer's mentality and motivations when he killed Huiyi during the day were different from those when he killed Huizang and Zhenfa at night."
Cui Yingong's pupils suddenly shrank, fear surged in his heart, and he said in a trembling voice: "Yes...is it?"
Li Yan glanced at him with a smile: "Let me make a guess. Listen to it and see if it's right."
"The murderer once studied in the Shaolin Temple and became a disciple of a very high-status monk. The monk also knew many of the murderer's secrets."
"Later, the murderer left the temple and returned to secular life. He joined a more powerful thief and took on a new disguised identity. However, he was still involved with the Shaolin Temple."
"When I took the internal guards and Baiqi up the mountain, the murderer noticed it one step ahead. Feeling guilty, he wanted to kill the insider to silence him. However, due to some unforeseen circumstances, he failed..."
Cui Yingong...well, there's no need to pretend now, it's Ashina Huan's heart that sinks.
He first worshiped Zhenfa as his teacher, and later he worshiped "Zuoming" as his teacher. Under the arrangement of "Zuoming", he had the identity of Cui Yingong, and he was free between the court and the world. Naturally, he was unwilling to give up this huge advantage.
He and Zhenfa had actually had conflicts for a long time. They were surrounded and killed by hundreds of riders in the Guannai village before. When they saw Cheng Wuzhong and others going to Shaolin this time, they couldn't keep Zhenfa. At the same time, they wanted to kill this old man who had a son.
Zhi En was also removed.
Unexpectedly, Fa Ming asked Zhi En to deliver the message. This stupid monk who always stayed in his courtyard and was reluctant to go out was not there, and his plan to kill people and silence them was aborted.
Thinking of this, Ashina Huan took a deep breath, still holding on to luck: "Then what Li Jiyi thought, why did the murderer kill Hui Yi?"
Li Yandao: "Because Huiyi is the most likely to let me stay to investigate the case."
"It can also be seen from the relics they left behind that among the three monks, Zhenfa is old and Huizang is rebellious. Only Huiyi has the most public-mindedness and the least selfishness. He constantly contacts all parties to seek opportunities and wants to
We need to expand the reputation of Shaolin and make this temple stronger."
"If the other two were killed first, after weighing the pros and cons, Hui Yi would not necessarily cover the situation directly, but would choose the method that would cause the least harm to Shaolin."
"On the contrary, by killing Huiyi, Zhenfa and Huizang, without the abbot to check and balance them, became even more selfish and out of control."
Ashina Huan's expression changed.
Indeed, he knew Zhenfa and Huizang very well. After knowing the character of these two monks, he decided to kill Hui Yi.
After all, Shaolin Temple is a place of Buddhism, and there are edicts issued by Emperor Taizong in it. Considering the extent of the spread of Buddhism in the Tang Dynasty, Li Yuanfang would not have forced his way into the temple unless he had proven evidence early on.
In comparison, his apparent identity is Cui Yingong, the prime minister of Honglu Temple, and he is more qualified to investigate the case.
This was a last resort and expedient measure, and it definitely had loopholes, but it was indeed the best way to deal with it at the time.
At this time, Li Yan turned around, looked at Mingyue again, and said leisurely: "The murderer at that time did want to silence him, but when he got rid of Huizang and Zhenfa at night, his motives were different."
"Perhaps this person secretly observed and discovered that I was staying in Songyang County at the foot of the mountain with my inner guards and Baiqi. Perhaps he had some other encounters. Anyway, the murderer's mind had changed when he killed the other two gangs."
"In just one day, all the three gangsters of Shaolin were killed. The nature of the case was so bad. It was not an attitude to hide the truth at all. It was contrary to what we had done before."
"What is the purpose?"
"Either we let this case hold us back and we have no time to take care of the Jiangnan rebellion."
"But as I said before, there are many capable ministers and generals in the imperial court. Even if we are held back, as long as the news is leaked, others will naturally go to suppress the rebellion. It is impossible for the rebellion in the south of the Yangtze River to succeed, so there is not much need to do so."
"Either it's to lure me back into the temple!"
"The murderer's purpose is no longer the case, but me."
Ashina Huan stared at Li Yan's back, his eyes flashed with fierceness, and he roared in his heart: "Yes, I will kill you! I am the Turkic royal family, the noble wolf, the eagle of the grassland, the god Teng
Why is Gerry's protector running away in a hurry with you chasing after him?"
At that time, he set up an ambush to capture his senior brother Yang Zaiwei, and his confidence was greatly improved. He thought that instead of being watched by Li Yuanfang from behind and his true identity was exposed at some point, he might as well strike first and get rid of this Tang Dynasty detective!
At this moment, he was ready to take action directly, even though he was exhausted, but fortunately, the other party was also poisoned.
There is no doubt that poisoning is more serious than not sleeping. Li Yuanfang looks energetic on the surface without any signs of it, but once he starts exercising, his fatigue will definitely show!
Thinking of the other party's disbelief as he vomited blood, Ashina Huan laughed out loud.
Then I heard Li Yan say: "Shaolin Temple is a relatively closed environment. If you want to get rid of someone in a place like this, force is not the first resort. Poisoning food is actually more effective."
Ashina Huan's smile solidified.
Li Yan turned around and looked at him again: "It is impossible to poison all the meals, because it is impossible to control who eats and who does not eat. If the monk shows symptoms first, he will be exposed. The safest way is water."
"It happens that there is spring water in the back mountain of Shaolin. It is clear, sweet and has an excellent taste. It has always been the top quality for Shaolin guests. Zhixing also recommended it to me before, poisoning it. If the poison can be close to colorless and odorless, it is indeed
A very clever method."
"Of course, I'm not completely sure, so I asked Baiqi to escort the prisoners down the mountain. Zhixing took the monks who were willing to go down the mountain and stopped in Songyang County to reduce the number of people on the mountain so that if there was any emergency, it would be easier to treat them."
"Ashnahuan, what do you think of this way of handling it?"
After hearing the last word, Ashinahuan's face changed drastically, and he laughed dryly and said: "Li Jiyi, what are you talking about? I am Yin Gong, what Ashinahuan, isn't that the name of a Turkic person?"
Li Yandao: "I wasn't sure who you were originally, I just knew there was something wrong with you."
"Because the first morning you came, I went to check the water source nearby."
"As for poisons, there is no absolute tastelessness. At most, they are close to tastelessness, which deceives those with underdeveloped taste buds."
"As for my first five consciousnesses, only the tongue consciousness has not yet been opened. If it is really poisoned, I cannot guarantee that it will be safe, so I still have to be careful and guard against it."
"So, by the spring in the back mountain, I smelled the smell, and it was exactly the smell of you."
"It's normal for Shaolin Temple monks to go there to fetch water. As the chief of Honglu Temple, after receiving the case, why didn't you quickly go to the temple gate and secretly go to the spring in the back mountain?"
"Later I asked you about the land in the south of the Yangtze River. From what you said, I found out that you were not an accomplice. It was Yang Zaiwei's junior brother Ashina Huan, who was also the murderer of Shaolin San Gang. I didn't expect that your appearance was similar to that of a Han man like me.
They are so similar, with black hair and black eyes, no wonder they dare to appear in front of me openly..."
When Ashina Huan heard this, he couldn't stand it anymore and was extremely puzzled: "On the first day I came here, you knew there was something wrong with me, why did you still do these things?"
Li Yan was also puzzled: "If these evidences are not sorted out now, they will still be handed over to the internal guards later. Since you are willing to do it, why should I stop you? Besides, I can get words out of you without interrogation.
The secrets of the Jiangnan land have been revealed..."
At this time, the internal guards headed by An Shengan had appeared and formed an encirclement in the distance.
When they heard Li Yan reveal the identity of the murderer, they were in disbelief at first, and then showed indescribable complex expressions.
The murderer helped them share the work and worked extra hard, and finally became the best employee...
This is so weird!
Li Yan didn't think anything of it. He also hoped that there would be as many murderers as possible. He held the hilt of the chain knife in his hand and showed respect: "Ash Na Huan, don't you want to kill me? I'll give you a chance now, you can do it!"
"
Ashina Huan's body trembled.
He didn't sleep for four days and three nights...
And then faced with Li Yuanfang, who was not poisoned, had recharged his energy, and had really become the only consciousness?
he
He didn't even have the courage to take action anymore.
Li Yan looked at him, frowned, and was quite disappointed: "Why are you weaker than the other?"
"Among the fellow disciples, Yang Zaiwei has all five senses, so it is natural that he is better than you, but Jin Zhizhao is as victorious as you, right?"
"She can at least compete with me for twenty or thirty years, but you have to endure it like this in just four days? Your talent is too poor!"
This sentence is too lethal.
"Li Yuanfang!! You, you, you... are bullying others too much!!"
Ashina Huan's energy and blood surged up completely, his face turned red, a mouthful of blood spurted out, and then he fell backwards.
The moment he fell down, the corners of Ashina Huan's mouth subconsciously raised.
Anyway, I finally got some sleep.
Then he was forcefully woken up by the guards.
Li Yuanfang's devilish voice came into his ears: "This person doesn't need to be judged by the gods, drag it on, don't let him sleep, it won't take long, everything will be explained."
