In Zhuangyuan Building, I sit on the railing and watch the wind and rain fall, and see the boundless sky and earth.
Taoist Priest Qingyun and Chen Jianchen were sitting face to face. The corner of his eye occasionally drifted to the back and fell on Ying Ning, who was standing behind Chen Jianchen. Complex emotions passed through his heart.
Vixen!
Although his cultivation was not as good as that of Ying Ning, he could still identify Ying Ning's vixen identity at a glance thanks to the techniques taught by the Laoshan orthodox Taoist sect.
It's been a long time since we last met, but Chen Jianchen actually subdued a vixen as a bookboy, which is a bit incredible.
Originally, Taoist Master Qingyun thought Chen Jianchen didn't know, so he pulled him aside nervously and whispered. But Chen Jianchen didn't hide much and told him openly and honestly.
After hearing this, the Taoist priest was inexplicably surprised - taking demons as his subordinates for servitude is something that some cultivators with great supernatural powers like to do.
The problem is that Chen Jianchen is not a cultivator at all. He can actually let a vixen with a golden elixir cultivation level willingly accompany him. Is it because of his righteousness?
What a weird thing.
However, the Taoist Master was not an ordinary person, and he quickly adjusted his emotions. His eyes when he looked at Chen Jianchen suddenly became a little more meaningful. Looking back at the time when they met, Chen Jianchen was just an ordinary scholar and scholar. Times have changed, and this son
He is already full of righteousness and possesses great power.
"The Taoist priest came to Jiangzhou this time to come specifically to see me?"
Chen Jianchen asked.
Taoist Master Qingyun replied: "That's not true... In fact, the poor Taoist uncle is also in Jiangzhou now."
"Uh, Taoist Priest Guanghan is here too?"
Chen Jianchen was pleasantly surprised. He had a good impression of the Taoist priest who behaved erratically. Last time, the other party even cast a spell and gave him a longevity peach in the name of congratulations.
Taoist priest Qingyun said: "We just entered the city yesterday."
Chen Jianchen thought for a moment and suddenly asked: "Will something happen in Jiangzhou?"
Taoist Master Qingyun hesitated for a moment: "Mr. Chen, there are some things that a poor Taoist can't say directly, so I hope you can forgive me."
Chen Jianchen said: "In this case, it must be private, but I was rash."
Taoist priest Qingyun smiled and said nothing.
"But, why did the Taoist priest come to me?"
"Please sir, write a word."
"Um?"
Chen Jianchen was stunned and looked at him doubtfully.
Taoist Master Qingyun stroked his long beard with his hand and said: "This is the meaning of the poor Taoist uncle. My master's writing is full of righteousness, so I was specially sent to ask you to write a calligraphy."
Before that, both Qingyun and Guanghan were very friendly to Chen Jianchen. In the jargon, it was called "making a good relationship".
Now that the other party came to ask for calligraphy, Chen Jianchen accepted the call without hesitation, so he smiled and said: "How can I refuse the Taoist priest's request?" He then asked, "What are your requirements for this calligraphy?"
Qingyun replied: "There are no requirements. It doesn't matter if you have three or five characters. One character is also acceptable, but you can use it freely according to your wishes."
"Want it now?"
"I want it now."
At that moment, Chen Jianchen no longer hesitated. Later, Yingning even more cleverly took out the four treasures of the study from the scroll - this blood sandalwood scroll, since it came into her hands, she has made the best use of it and fully performed as a magic weapon.
Efficacy. It is like a cave space with its own universe. In addition to the basic four treasures of the study, it also contains many other things.
Taoist Priest Qingyun was a monk, so he felt the fluctuation of magic power coming from the blood sandalwood scroll. He knew that this thing was extraordinary, and he couldn't help but feel a little envious. He thought that Chen Jianchen's possession of this thing must be the result of another chance.
Move an empty table from the side and spread out the pen, ink and paper.
Chen Jianchen pondered for a while, raised his wrist, and scribbled two lines of poetry on the paper, seven words: Where do Taoist priests who grow peach go? The storm has come again after the past.
The fourteen big characters are full and full of righteousness.
Taoist Master Qingyun knew about the uncle's planting of peaches on the streets of the busy city. He understood that Chen Jianchen had something else to say, so he bowed his head and said, "Thank you very much for your words, Mr. Master. When I came here, my uncle had something to say. In the future,
There is another reward.”
Chen Jianchen said with a smile: "Taoist Master, you are too polite. It is a trivial matter. It is not worth mentioning. Why do you need anything in return?"
Taoist Master Qingyun did not delay for long. After chatting for a few more words, he left. When he reached the door, he suddenly looked back and said, "Mr. Chen, I have a few words for you, this poor Taoist."
"Please enlighten me."
"As time goes by, dragons emerge from the water, and the winds and clouds change unpredictably."
After chanting, the bell rang and went downstairs, gradually becoming less audible.
Chen Jianchen was chewing on the two sentences he left, but he didn't know what they meant. Interpreting them from the perspective of the sentence was really too vague and could be interpreted into many meanings.
Looking at Yingning, Yingning smiled and said: "Young master can't understand, and I can't understand it."
Chen Jianchen shrugged: "It's okay, the boat will be straight when it reaches the bridge." Taoist priest Qingyun came to ask him to write, probably because he wanted to use his own righteousness to do something, and it wouldn't be a bad thing anyway.
At that moment, he and Yingning left Zhuangyuan Building and went straight to the academy.
At noon, Wang Fu came to the door after returning from a visit to the prison. He sighed and said that in the prison, Xiao Hanfeng was so heartbroken that he lay like a dead snake. After asking for a long time, there was no response and no valuable information was obtained.
Regarding Xiao Hanfeng's "loveless" state, Chen Jianchen had already been mentally prepared - although Xiao Hanfeng had a cheerful personality, after all, he was just a scholar who had never experienced anything. Suddenly encountering a catastrophe and becoming a death row prisoner, it was simply...
It was like a bolt from the blue, and I was suddenly stunned. My psychology and spirit inevitably collapsed, and I was like a walking zombie, with no hope or meaning of survival at all.
Chen Jianchen can understand this. It does not mean that Xiao Hanfeng's psychological endurance is too poor. How many people can really face the great changes and disasters calmly? Not to mention in this old-fashioned world, let's say in the previous life,
News about students failing the college entrance examination and committing suicide by jumping off buildings also happens from time to time.
It is not as simple as Xiao Hanfeng's fame will be reduced now.
Wang Fu asked: "Liu Xian, is there still hope for Han Feng?"
Chen Jianchen said: "It's not clear yet. Let's do our best. Maybe there will be a turn for the better." Under the current situation, it was impossible for him to speak out and say everything he said.
Wang Fu looked gloomy, but in his heart he was convinced that Xiao Hanfeng was dead. Neither he nor Chen Jianchen had any connections in the government. How could he get Magistrate Xu to re-examine the case? Originally, Wang Fu hoped that Chen Jianchen would go to Gu Xuezheng, but after careful consideration
Think about it, this path is also very slim.
Nothing happened for the day, but the wind and rain continued. Under this heavy rain, which had been rare in decades, not only the Jianjiang River embankment burst, but also some low-lying places in Jiangzhou City were flooded.
Already.
At night, the rat demon Xiaoyi who was responsible for going out to inquire for news came back. It lived up to expectations and brought back an exciting message:
"Sir, Xiaoyi has found out clearly that someone else broke into Bian's house that night."
Chen Jianchen was overjoyed: "How did you find out?"
The rat demon chuckled: "Of course I used my method. As the saying goes, people have their own humanity, and rats have their own ways..." Seeing the unkind expression on the young master's face, he didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore, so he immediately changed to the topic and spoke eloquently -
It turned out that after listening to Chen Jianchen's explanation, the first stop of the investigation was the Bian family's house, where he summoned the dog who was guarding the Bian family's home for questioning.
This rat demon does have some tricks up its sleeve. It knows that its natural talent is not high, its physical qualifications are not good, and it lacks perseverance, so it is difficult to achieve greatness, so it simply develops other interests and specialties and masters some strange tricks——
Animal language is one of them.
People have their own language, and animals have their own animal language. It seems to be a natural instinct of monsters. Ying Ning is also good at it, but he is not as proficient as Xiao Yi.
Xiaoyi's animal language level is quite high, and the technical content is not mentioned. Whether it is tigers, leopards, rabbits, wolves, cats, dogs, chickens and ducks, he can communicate in a chattering manner.
On the night of the murder, the dog guarding the Bian family found the murderer and started barking. To a certain extent, this dog could be regarded as an eyewitness. However, it is difficult for a dog to testify in court, and besides, it did not
Find a way, the murderer has escaped, what can a dog like him do?
Not a dog demon.
It was already a dead end, but fortunately, Xiaoyi was there.
The fact that he had extraordinary soldiers at his disposal was the reason why Chen Jianchen dared to promise to find clues for ten days in front of Magistrate Xu and Gu Xuezheng. Otherwise, he would just talk nonsense and make others laugh. How could Chen Jianchen make such a low-level mistake?
Chen Jianchen was actually a little uneasy when he sent Xiaoyi out to do the first stage of investigation and search work, not knowing whether it was feasible or not. Now it turns out that he was overly worried, and Xiaoyi's work was completed beautifully!
That dog was a female dog with a very vulgar name, "Wangding", but it was named by a member of the Bian family. He had no children and only had a daughter, so he used this name to call the family dog and the "Wangcai"
There are "meanings" that reflect each other.
Through the information provided by Wang Ding, Xiaoyi roughly knew the appearance of the murderer. He was fat and rude, completely inconsistent with Xiao Hanfeng, and easily concluded that the murderer was someone else.
After listening to Xiao Yi's story, Chen Jianchen fell into deep thought: The case has been opened, and the real murderer must be found next.
Unfortunately, ordinary domestic dogs are uncivilized and do not have much intelligence and limited cognition. They can only recognize people based on instinct. Unless they get close to the murderer, they will not be able to recognize them.
However, the murderer had escaped long ago and his physical features were not perfect, so it was a very difficult matter.
Xiao Yi said: "Since it is confirmed that the murderer is someone else, then Mr. Xiao is innocent. Why not ask the government to release him."
Chen Jianchen smiled bitterly: "How can it be so easy?"
It is unbelievable to solve the case through animal language and dog authentication. If you take a dog to the court and let it bark a few times, it will be translated and it will be said that Xiao Hanfeng is innocent and not the murderer... I am afraid that Xu Hanfeng is innocent.
The prefect immediately became furious and ordered the officials to beat Chen Jianchen and the witness Gou Luan with sticks.
Therefore, only by truly finding the murderer can we be confident enough to overturn the case.
