Liaozhai: I just want salted fish with invincible magical powers

Chapter 94 Swift
In Yuyan Temple, Hu Qian continued: "Everyone should still remember Huang's death—the whole body was bruised and purple, and the eyeballs fell off.

At that time, the students were wondering what kind of means could lead to this.

Although there may be violent beatings, Huang's face was obviously only slapped a few times on Thursday, and Wu Zuo also confirmed that she had no other injuries on her body.

The student thought about it, and suddenly thought of a dish eaten in Yumanlou - stewed swiftlets in clear water. "

Bai Yufeng's expression changed, and he suddenly thought of something.

Hu Qian continued: "The students were not sure at the moment, so yesterday they ordered another stewed swiftlet with Mr. Bai, and only then did they know what kind of method they used to hurt Mrs. Huang like that."

Bai Yufeng finally couldn't bear it and said, "You mean that Swift is also bruised all over and has lost her eyeballs?
Why didn't I notice..."

Hu Qian said: "The student asked the servant Hu Jiu to ask the waiter how the swift was caught.

The waiter in the shop said that there are many swifts in the suburbs of the city. You only need to set up a copper pot and sprinkle some bait such as grains.

As long as it takes a short while, the swifts in the pot will be shocked to death!
That death is exactly the same as Huang's! "

Xing Ziming said: "Even if the death is the same, it may be accidental."

Hu Qian shook his head and said, "This student has also been asked by the servant, Hu Jiu, you come and explain to the adults."

Hu Jiu walked out from the crowd and bowed to several adults, "The villain asked the waiter in the shop, and he said that because this dish is game, even if the price is high, many people order it, so he often goes out to catch it.

Sometimes when I'm free, even shopkeeper Zhou and Mrs. Huang come to catch him.

Every time Swift was taken out from under the copper pot, it always looked like that. "

Bai Yufeng took over the conversation and said: "So you can infer from this that Mrs. Huang should also be detained under something like a cauldron, and was beaten to death by someone."

Hu Qian nodded, "That's right.

So what is this thing like a cauldron that can be knocked without breaking, and that can hide people without attracting attention?

It is the big clock! "

Everyone suddenly realized, Master Ye and Xing Ziming nodded their heads.

Bai Yufeng said: "So although you didn't go out, you asked Hu Jiu to inquire about the nearby temples and Taoist temples to see where there is such a big bell, and then found it here, because only one person, Zhengxing, can move the big bell. So it was determined that he committed the crime."

Hu Qian said: "It's basically true, but I didn't go to Hu Jiu to look around."

Facing the crowd, he said: "Since this person was able to take away Mrs. Huang at night, kill him and send him back, he must not be far away from this monastery, otherwise he would not be able to make it in time.

Although Liangjing is a big city, there must be only a few temples that are very close to Yumanlou.

In addition, this person can carry people on his back, so his figure must be strong and powerful, which just fits the fallen shoe.

In the nearby temple, there is a big bell that can hide people, and a powerful monk named Kong Wu.

If these conditions are added together, isn't it easy to find?
That's why I said that one day is enough to find the murderer. "

Master Ye was aroused when he heard it, and he stood up and cheered: "You really deserve to be the one who was bestowed by the emperor with the unicorn suit! You really are amazing!"

A group of students also praised it repeatedly.

Xing Ziming curled his lips and was about to speak, when he saw Bai Yufeng was also full of admiration, he couldn't help being a little surprised.

Hu Qian said: "It's just that the students thought that Zheng Xing deliberately killed Huang Shi, but who knew it was negligent."

Monk Zhengxing said: "Young monk, I never expected such a coincidence to encounter running water, which attracted Zhenghai to ring the big bell."

Hu Qian's heart moved, and he asked suddenly: "Why did you suddenly go into the water?"

The host said: "It's a strange thing to say.

When the temple was built, it was named Swift Temple because there were too many swifts nearby, and it was later renamed Yuyan Temple.

There are often swifts breaking into the meditation room in the temple, so everyone doesn't care too much.

But the night before yesterday, a swift suddenly rushed into the meditation room, grabbed the candle and threw it on the bookshelf, and immediately caught fire, so I asked Zheng Hai to ring the bell to let everyone put out the fire. "

Hu Qian asked again: "Has your temple walked through water before?"

"Have."

"Did you also ring the bell to remind?"

"Yes."

"Are you in a hurry?"

"Naturally fast and urgent."

"So...those swifts know...if they go out of water...someone will ring the bell, right?"

When everyone heard this, their faces changed drastically.

When I looked up, I saw swifts hovering in the sky, as if they were watching the people below.

……

After that, monk Zhengxing was sentenced to autumn for adultery and manslaughter; Cui Sanzhang was beaten one hundred times and exiled for three thousand miles;

Three days later, Yumanlou returned to calm, but since then, there has been no such dish as stewed swiftlets here.

After this case, Hu Qian became famous all over Liangjing. Not only did the students in Yumanlou admire him, but Bai Yufeng also ran over here from time to time, asking about the details of the student's suicide case and the money and silver demon case.

Hu Qian was annoyed by him, and a servant just happened to come over and said that his master invited Hu Qian to swim in the lake.

"Go here!"

Hu Qian shook off Bai Yufeng, went out with the boy, and took a carriage to Heming Lake in Liangjing City. He saw a man in brocade clothes standing by the lake, but it was Mr. Ye, the servant of the Ministry of Rites.

"Master Ye!"

Hu Qian walked up to him quickly and bowed to salute.

Darren Ye said: "I still think you might not come."

After talking a little bit about the scene, the two rowed to the center of the lake.

"Hu Qian, do you know why I invited you here?"

Hu Qian looked straight at him.

According to Bai Yufeng, the right servant of the Ministry of Rites is named Ye Qiuhen, and he is a fellow student of Master Fu, Minister of Rites.

Hu Qian admits that he has nothing to do with him.

If you want to say that it has something to do with it, you can only say that Ma Hong, who is married to the daughter of his immediate boss, Master Fu, is the elder brother of Rong Ning'er, Hu Qian's concubine.

But such a twisted relationship is actually no longer a relationship.

Hu Qian smiled and said, "My lord, the students don't know."

"Can I call you by your name?"

"That's the honor of the students."

"Respectfully, I would like to ask, how is your supernatural power?"

"What do you mean, sir?"

"It's the official who was abrupt, but this is also a helpless move."

"My lord seems to have something to hide."

"I heard from Kong Zongbing and Master Ruan before that your supernatural powers are quite extraordinary."

"A few adults are too modest, they are just superficial tips."

Ye Qiuhen shook his head, "Even if it is abrupt, I have to ask directly.

Based on your knowledge, if the people around you change their appearance one by one, what is the reason? "

"This so-called change of appearance, is it a change in appearance, or..."

"It's not your appearance, it's your heart. It suddenly becomes very strange, like you don't know me at all. Sometimes, you will come to your bedside in the middle of the night and laugh at you..."
