Second minister and thief

"You...you...you!!! Chu Linqiu, you will suffer retribution if you go against the law..."

"Retribution? Master Lu, tell me, why are you defending a killer like this? Could it be... you also have a share?"

"Shut up! You! You! You don't want to squirt blood!!!" Master Lu was really angry this time, and he backed up a few steps in a hurry. stature.

"Hehe. It's up to God to decide which is right and which is wrong. Why do the two adults have to fight for this? I'm dreaming after arguing."

That voice came from the prison cell that was ignored by everyone, like a thunderbolt, it immediately cleared the spirit platform and made people tremble all over.

Hearing this, Chu Linqiu also opened his eyes, bent his finger and tapped on the armrest twice, and said, "Sir, don't go to sleep, you haven't explained clearly yet."

"Oh? What else is the old man doing?" Yu Younian pretended to be stupid.

"Naturally, it's the relationship with the Taoist priest, and...the list."

"What list?" Yu Younian said with a low chuckle, "I thought Mrs. Chu wanted to ask about the letter, and I had already figured out what to say, but when I didn't want to, another list appeared. This, this made me never How did you start?"

"Hey, you old man, don't toast and refuse to eat fine wine! Tell the whole plan between you and that thief as soon as possible, so as to save yourself from suffering in the future."

"Sijin, don't be rude to the old man." Chu Linqiu closed his eyes again at some point, he was really tired, and he missed the beauty couch at home, and... the distraught Xiao Cen .

"Yes, my lord."

"Hahaha!"

"What are you laughing at?" The young man was about to take two steps back when he heard a piercing laughter, and a hint of anger appeared on his face.

"It's really funny to laugh at you little brother. If the old man really colluded with the thieves, how could he use himself as bait to help you catch the killer? Master Chu must be aware of this point."

"..."

"How about this, you can make a copy of this list and send it to me, if you can see anything, it should be regarded as a congratulatory gift from the old man."

"..." Chu Linqiu twitched his eyebrows and raised the corners of his mouth when he heard this. He put his legs down unhurriedly, and after a while, he suddenly ordered, "Bring the list and the collection of poems to me." he."

"My lord! This is our important physical evidence!"

"Go get it."

If Yu Younian hadn't taken the initiative to remind him, Chu Linqiu would have almost forgotten that he had made great achievements in cipher text in the early years, and it is unknown if he could really crack the secret that he could not break.

The punishment over there is still going on, but the one holding the whip has been replaced by a burly man.The man in black could still grit his teeth and keep silent, but he didn't even have the strength to open his mouth to speak, so he could only "stare" at Chu Linqiu's direction with half-open eyes.Although his eyes were slack, everyone could feel the anger in his heart.

Chu Linqiu didn't care about this, because in his eyes, this guy could only be regarded as a dead person.

The oil lamp on the table was burned out several times, but Yu Younian made no progress. This made everyone in Xuanwuwei suspect that this was their strategy of delay.

"My lord, Mr. Yu, isn't he playing tricks on us? Can he really decipher the code?"

As soon as the words were finished, a large mouse jumped out of the cell and rushed towards Chu Linqiu's face.

Chu Linqiu hastily turned his head to avoid it, and raised his sleeves, seemingly casually but as if he was holding something in his hands.

He frowned in disgust, opened his palm and looked down, only to find that it was a weed tied with a strip of paper.

The slightly yellowed paper was obviously torn from his poetry collection, and there was only one sentence on it, "The desert is poor and the autumn is full of grass."

Seeing this, Chu Linqiu's face changed, and he didn't know what he thought of. He suddenly got up from the wooden chair, and strode into the cell.

"What does that mean?"

"I do not know."

"You don't know? You don't know, what is this?" Chu Linqiu squatted down next to Yu Younian, staring at his calm face, trying to see a trace of panic.

After a long while, Yu Younian finally let out a long breath of relief, and slowly uttered a few words that seemed unrelated but inexplicably connected into one sentence, all of which came from this song called "Yan Ge Xing" poetry.

"Setting sun, white blade, killing the king. Master Chu, someone is going to assassinate you at the auspicious time of your wedding."

"Sir, are you so sure that this 'jun' is Chu? Just because there is the word 'autumn' in the poem?"

"No! No! Everything in the poem has a reference, and there is a deep meaning in it. I think Lord Chu will understand after reading it a few times. Old man... that's all I said."

"..." Chu Linqiu stopped talking. He looked down at this old collection of poems, and Xiao Cen's stupid words after being drunk suddenly sounded in his mind that day.

"The first half of the warrior army is dead and alive, and the beauties are still singing and dancing under the tent."

Why is it this poem? Who is "warrior"? Who is the "beauty"?If what is said here is the original meaning of the poem, then the person behind the scenes must be very dissatisfied with the court, and he may attribute the injustice suffered to himself, a courtier.

He is in the army!

So... what Chu Linqiu is more concerned about now is, does Xiao Cen know about this?Or, have you heard of it?Was his nonsense that day a coincidence, or did he really mean something?

"Master Chu, I don't believe that you never noticed this poem. You were just... distracted by something at the time. Is the old man right?"

"..." Chu Linqiu still didn't answer. When he left with his collection of poems, he said the last sentence, "I hope that my husband will not mention anything about what happened today."

"Hehehe." Yu Younian responded with a meaningful smile.

When Chu Linqiu left with his entourage holding a lantern, the killer on the pillar was already unconscious and dying.He was thinking about something, and went straight out without even saying hello to Lord Lu and the others, but when he backed up in front of the carriage, he remembered to send someone in to tell him that no one should be allowed to die in prison.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the order was given, a scream full of fear and despair was heard from inside.

Everyone's face changed, and they looked at each other.

Chu Linqiu glanced back, then flicked his sleeves and strode towards the place, his face was so heavy that water dripped out, the rest of the people did not dare to breathe, but followed behind tremblingly.

A group of people came to the place where the kidnapper was kidnapped one after another, and saw that the killer was still maintaining the previous posture, with his eyes closed and his head tilted to one side. Blood.

The state of death was exactly the same as that of the previous deceased.
