When Boyi heard this, he felt as if someone poured a basin of ice water on his head. It was freezing to the bone, but he also woke up completely.
Sure enough, only Aru could think of the most fundamental problem.
It should be an accident that they met Yayin in Lingyun Pavilion.
At that time, he was curious about what Yuliguan was doing and wanted to know more about Yuqiansi, the rumored Jade Rakshasa, so he agreed to the princess to go. However, Aru, who was originally unwilling to go with him, changed his mind temporarily because Ling Yun was drunk.
Got an idea.
However, he only focused on the matter of Lingyun Pavilion that day and ignored the real important point.
Meeting Yayin outside the museum the day before was not an accident.
If the princess had not disturbed the situation, perhaps the saint would have met Yayin that day.
Did someone do this on purpose?
Thinking of this, he ran out of ideas again, but what was the purpose of this person doing this?
"If someone deliberately guides..., does that purpose lie with you or with the saint?"
Yu Qiansi shook her head, her brows furrowed with a layer of confusion, but then turned into a sharp cold-edged ice knife.
She never believed that coincidences in this world would be coincidences one after another. If she had any doubts, it would be clear to her once she walked around.
These words also made Boyi feel uneasy.
If someone is really scheming, wouldn't it mean that they fell into someone else's scheme in the first place?
Although they still don’t know who is behind the scenes and why this is happening...but once they think of someone who has been guiding them to investigate the case so long ago, they still feel an unignorable fear rising in their hearts.
It's like seeing the unknown in front of the enemy after the horn blows on the battlefield. But this fear will not make a soldier weak and shrink, but will further arouse his desire to win the war.
urgent.
And Aru is all the reasons for him to win.
He was full of ambition and entered the Qingxian Pavilion first, only to be told that Yayin had been invited to the outskirts of Beijing by a benefactor early this morning.
It was the turtle slave who delivered a message for Yu Qiansi last time. He naturally recognized Yu Qiansi, so he could only talk non-stop, hoping that the Jade Rakshasa would not vent his anger on him.
"That benefactor was very generous. He specially brought a carriage and servants, and prepared the hard-earned money for the entourage in the hotel in advance, but he did not let us follow. Miss Yayin was a little hesitant at first, but she didn't know what she saw.
, turned around and agreed."
Yu Qiansi's breath stagnated and she quickly interrupted him: "Where on the outskirts of Beijing?"
The turtle slave was suddenly interrupted, his mouth half-opened, as if he hadn't come back to his senses yet.
Yu Qiansi asked again: "Let me ask you, where did Yayin go to the suburbs of Beijing?"
"This... I don't even know about this. They won't let me follow..."
Yu Qian scolded: "Don't do this to me! If it's a new customer, you won't let Yayin leave after taking the money. If she takes the opportunity to escape or encounters danger, you can't afford it."
Since the owner of Qingxian Pavilion is confident that no one will follow him, that means he must be a regular customer.
Yu Qian pressed forward and asked: "Quickly tell me where that person is!"
The turtle slave was startled, took two steps back, and then said hesitantly: "I heard from Xiaodie and the others that the official has a villa near Lize, I will tell you...
..."
Lize is located at the foot of the mountain near Junyuan Temple on the outskirts of Beijing. Although the soup pool there is not as good as that of Junyuan Temple, it is a good place to go because of its terrain, which is warm in winter and cool in summer.
In addition, because the gentry respected Buddhism, many wealthy families in the capital built villas in Lize. It was convenient for them to visit Junyuan Temple when they came to hold religious ceremonies, and it was also convenient for them to take a break during the summer and winter.
It's still autumn now, so there shouldn't be many people visiting Lize.
Thinking of this, the two of them immediately turned around and went out, found their fast horses, and took advantage of the dusk to go towards Lize.
Along the way, the sound of wind filled my sleeves and my horse's hooves were heard.
No one said anything, but both of them felt a little worried.
The regular patrons of the Qingxian Pavilion... now seem to be getting closer to their guesses. How many clues did the people behind the scenes have to spend a lot of money to wait for them in the Actors Pavilion?
When approaching Lize, both of them tightened their reins and slowed down.
Boyi looked at her dull look, raised his eyebrows deliberately, and said, "Are you afraid?"
Yu Qiansi glared at him angrily: "I'm just worried that you are involved too much. Anyway, this case belongs to my Yuli Pavilion. If you are afraid, you might as well just wait here like those turtle slaves. I'll leave as soon as possible."
Return."
Seeing that she was in such a situation and her thoughts and words were better than mine, I felt relieved.
She raised her chin slightly, just like when she caught herself for the first time.
He couldn't help but say: "You look better when you are so energetic, instead of frowning all the time."
Yu Qiansi paused slightly and withdrew his gaze. But his heart felt much more relaxed.
Is he deliberately irritating himself to stop worrying...
Boyi clamped his feet on the horse's belly and went ahead of Yu Qiansi: "Don't worry, I will clear the way for Master Yu. We will walk together and we will definitely kill all the demons!"
When the two arrived at Lize, it was indeed dark with no candlelight.
The two of them walked to the door of a villa, and after making sure that no one was around, they climbed over the wall and entered, landing in a dark courtyard where only the shadows of the trees could be seen.
"Isn't it possible that I was..." Boyi was a little nervous.
Yu Qiansi shook his head, and after confirming that no one was there, he strode towards the corner door.
Boyi followed closely behind.
"Look here, there are fresh impact marks."
He made some gestures, as if someone accidentally hit the door while moving a large object.
It was at a slightly lower angle than the hands hanging down, and with such a deep impact mark, there must be something heavy in the box.
They both thought at the same time that the box might contain people.
Boyi suddenly realized: "Yes, although there are few people around here recently, if you are doing such a shameful thing, you will naturally not enter or exit through the front door."
She took out the small dagger she carried with her and made another scratch above the impact mark, comparing the old and new color of the wood: "It's a new mark today."
The two of them turned around again and groped forward along the traces in the yard.
"Be careful of fraud," Boyi walked up to Yu Qiansi and opened the way for her.
The two of them followed the traces towards the inner courtyard. When they approached the back hall, they saw the light of a candle, which was particularly conspicuous in the dark night.
Boyi hid behind the tree and looked over. When he saw the situation in the hall clearly, he was a little stunned.
"what is this."
On the ground in the middle of the inner hall, Yayin lay unconscious on her back.
Yu Qiansi also came over to take a look, with a stern look on his face.
"She was fixed there!"
The two of them just wanted to get closer, but they didn't know what they bumped into. They just heard a "swish" sound, as if a thread was broken.
Immediately afterwards, the beams in the inner hall made a terrifying sound, and a huge stone tied with many iron chains hung down from the beams carrying countless dust. Amidst the two people's uncontrollable exclamations, they hung down.
In mid-air, the distance from Yayin lying on her back below was only one person's height.
Yu Qiansi's heart seemed to be hanging in the air, and she didn't dare to get closer at will, so she stood there and observed.
The iron chain went around the roof beam and fell to the ground. The landing point was pressed under the floor, but if you listened carefully, you could hear a slight friction sound.
Looking back at the boulder swinging in mid-air, her heart sank.
"This end of the chain is an hourglass. If time runs out, the stone will fall..."
