Don't be clouded

The person hiding in Fengyu Tower is not Liu Fengmian.

The girl was brought back to the post house, and was interrogated under more than a dozen pairs of eyes. The first sentence she spoke was: "My name is Gu Shanyue."

Followed by another sentence: "I killed someone, you escort me to Chenjing."

Ji Bieyun was not there.

He hid in his room, and when he heard Dai Fengmao's report outside the door, his body suddenly lightened, but the next moment, he felt a greater sense of powerlessness pressing on him.

It wasn't Liu Fengmian, it was another little girl.

What kind of child would hide in the ruins of a crumbling brothel, with a hill of broken bones beside him, playing a dilapidated qin?

How many people were involved in the Chongzhou extermination case?

Ji Bieyun was leaning against the corner, holding the Quehan knife, his whole body was in a defensive posture.

He was brought back by Guan Chen last night, and he was in a trance when he came back.

In Fengyu Tower, the monk quickly covered everything in front of him, saving him from the chaos of memory and reality.The sound of "making a picture" is still lingering in his mind at this moment, as if forgiving his gaffe.

He believed that Guan Chen must have heard those three words, but he never asked him a word from the beginning to the end.

Aren't you curious?

Even if he wasn't curious, Guanchen cared so much about him in the past, why didn't he mention anything this time?

The door was tapped.

Dai Fengmao didn't leave. Although he was not good at observing people's hearts, he could also feel that something was wrong with Ji Bieyun.

When he came back last night, he was absent-minded, and in a daze he gave an order for them to surround Fengyulou, and then hid in the room.It was almost dawn at this moment, what Tang Sipan said there, whether the two families that were exterminated should go to investigate, and how to deal with the girl who was captured, all were still waiting for Ji Bieyun's decision.

"Boss..." Dai Fengmao tried his best to think about how to speak, "Are you startled, why don't you find a doctor to take a look?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the door was suddenly opened, and Ji Bieyun's tired face appeared in front of him, which shocked him.Even in the few days in Dali Temple, I have never seen the boss so tired. What's the matter?Should he go to Guan Chen and ask, if they are bewitched, how can they do business?

Ji Bieyun seemed to know what he was thinking, and glanced at him casually, "I'm not surprised, let's find a doctor to see the child first."

Finally got down to business, Dai Fengmao secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "The little girl surnamed Gu is really strange, she looks crazy, but she speaks in an orderly manner. She insists on letting the most official here, go to her I just opened my mouth."

The boy rubbed his face and became more energetic.

"Come on, take me to meet her."

Half of the room where the forage was originally stored in the post house was vacated, and Gu Shanyue was tied to a pillar standing up, and the hemp rope was tied around her neck to her ankles.

Ji Bieyun finally got a clear view of her face, a face with a remnant of childishness, clean and pure, but there was inextricable hatred in her eyes.I don't know who to hate.

After being tied up and forced to stand for half the night, the girl was obviously tired.Ji Bieyun asked someone to untie her, but it was only half loose, allowing her to slide down to the ground and sit.

Then he poured himself a glass of water and handed it over.

Gu Shanyue stared at the glass of water for a while, her arms were tied, she leaned over and took a few sips of his hands, choking because she was too anxious.

Ji Bieyun stepped back and asked, "How old are you?"

The girl answered after coughing, "Sixteen."

Dai Fengmao, who stood aside and endured for a while, finally found a chance to speak, and said sharply, "Do you think we are blind?"

Gu Shanyue pursed her lips, "Fourteen, I didn't lie to you."

Ji Bieyun didn't speak for a moment.

14 years old, if Liu Fengmian is alive, he should be the same age as Gu Shanyue.

He looked at the red dress on Gu Shanyue's body, it was still dazzlingly bright even with dust on it, as if it was deliberately trying to remind everyone of blood.

Ji Bieyun finally waved his hand for Dai Fengmao to interrogate, and he stepped back to listen.

Only he, Dai Fengmao, and Gu Shanyue were left in the room.

Standing in front of Gu Shanyue, Dai Fengmao could shock many people with his strong figure, but the little girl showed no fear in her eyes.

"What happened to the bones in Fengyu Tower?" Deputy Captain Dai asked.

Gu Shanyue's eyes darkened, "They are all older sisters in the building, I brought them back."

"How did those people die?"

The girl's sneer made people shudder, "Starved to death? Frightened to death? Sick to death?"

"Answer well, I'm not joking with you here." Dai Fengmao was a little annoyed, but he changed the question, "Why did you go to Fengyu Tower to pretend to be a ghost?"

"Because you are here." The girl glanced at them, "I killed someone, I don't want to hide anymore, I want to throw myself into a trap."

"Who did you kill?"

Gu Shanyue looked innocent, "Inspector and Chang Shi, I am an accomplice, and I set those two fires. How prosperous the fire is, I have never seen such a big fire, and they all burned to the sky. "

Dai Fengmao's face was tense, and he asked patiently: "Then do you know the prisoner who was taken to Chenjing? His name is Zhang Han."

The girl nodded, "Of course."

Deputy Captain Dai's violent temper has been endured to the extreme, and he said coldly: "His name is Cai Han, not Zhang Han."

Gu Shanyue froze.

Ji Bieyun could see clearly from the side, exchanged a glance with Dai Fengmao who turned his head, and raised his chin towards the door.

After the two went out, Ji Bieyun said in a low voice: "She wants to get herself involved."

Dai Fengmao frowned and thought, "Why? She is just a child, how could she want to be involved in the Miemen case."

"Has the person who went to investigate Gu Shanyue's background come back?" he asked.

Deputy Captain Dai nodded and shook his head again, "I searched by Gu Shanyue's name. There is no such person in Chongzhou, so it must be a fake name."

Ji Bieyun remembered that Gu Shanyue called the woman in Fengyulou "sister", and said: "Go and check Fengyulou, maybe she is the one who survived from there."

The two looked at each other, and Dai Fengmao said at odds: "I'll send someone to gather up those bones and bury them?"

He raised his eyebrows, he didn't expect Dai Fengmao to bring this up, it seems that this person not only has a big and a rough side.He thought for a while, and replied, "Just restrain yourself, and ask Gu Shanyue after the investigation is clear, and bury her according to her wishes."

Dai Fengmao nodded, ready to go to work right away.

Ji Bieyun called people to stop, and said again: "Go to a few shops near Fengyulou, and find out those people who are hiding in their shells. In addition to asking about Fengyulou, you also have to ask Yuanhe Over the flood. If those people refuse to speak up, everyone along the Yuan River will be interrogated."

While talking, someone came to report, and Tang Sipan came to the door.

After Tang Xing came in, he didn't even have to be polite, and hurriedly said: "I heard that the general has been to Fengyu Tower? But did you see ghosts and ghosts?"

Deputy Captain Dai took two steps back with insight, and stared at Tang Xing, a mediocre official, meaningfully.

Ji Bieyun took two steps forward, and said with a sneer: "Tang Siping, you can still pretend to be a fool with me right now, but after the matter is found out, you can only pretend to be innocent."

Tang Xing's smile was too flattering, but he almost couldn't laugh after hearing this.Rolling his eyes, he said in a low voice, "I really don't know the truth. Some documents were destroyed when I took office half a year ago. As a person in the officialdom, the general should understand that the higher-ups don't want you to know. It’s best not to inquire about things, pretending to be stupid is something you have to learn.”

"According to what Tang Siping said, you don't know that there was a flood in Chongzhou City?" Ji Bieyun asked quietly.

A trace of confusion appeared on Tang Xing's face, as if he really didn't know.

"Flood? When?"

He groaned, and asked without answering, "When was the Fengyu Building abandoned?"

Tang Xing became more confused and spoke faster: "I really don't know. When I first came to Chongzhou, the building was already like that. I don't know why it was neither demolished nor repaired. I have secretly inquired about it. It is said that the building is haunted by ghosts, I have seen it with the master, I can't move it, and the resentment will spread if I move it, the whole Chongzhou will suffer."

"Resentment." Ji Bieyun smiled, "What kind of resentment is it?"

This time Tang Xing couldn't answer smoothly, and his eyes turned back and forth between him and Dai Fengmao. He seemed to be racking his brains for an answer, and after a while, he replied without confidence: "The brothel girl... naturally has a lot of resentment." .”

Ji Bieyun completely lost interest in this person, took two steps back and walked upstairs, and said loudly: "Seeing off the guests."

"Yes!" Dai Fengmao couldn't wait to answer, and then pulled Tang Sipan out.

Ji Bieyun stayed up all night after rushing, his head was groggy, his eyes blurred when he went up the stairs, and he quickly grabbed the handrail.After a while, he slowed down and headed straight for Guanchen's room.

Time to do the next thing.

Ji Bieyun put away his coldness when facing Tang Xing, took a deep breath before knocking on the door and asked, "Master Guanchen, are you inside?"

No one should.

He continued to knock on the door, and it was empty after a while. Guan Chen opened the door from the inside and looked over with a puzzled expression.

"Is there anything urgent for Master Ji?"

He pulled out a smile that couldn't reach his eyes, "Didn't Master Guanchen say that he wanted to repair the temple? I have half a day to spare, and I just happened to accompany the master there."

Guan Chen withdrew his puzzled expression, stared at him for a moment, and walked out from the door.

"Alright."

Good, haven't asked him yet.

Ji Bieyun was a little anxious.I was like that when I was in Fengyulou, why Guanchen is still calm, does he not want to ask, or is he not ready to ask?

This time Ji Bieyun followed behind, letting Guan Chen lead the way.

The monk said that the temple to be repaired was outside the city of Chongzhou, and they rode there to save time.

Ji Bieyun's body doesn't matter, he just feels a little uncomfortable in his head, he is obviously very tired, and he still needs to see how many times this monk will go around this area.

On the third lap, he finally couldn't bear it anymore, and asked angrily, "Master, are you playing with me?"

Guan Chen slowed down, frowned and looked at him, "The poor monk seems to have lost his way."

He was unmoved, "Continue to pretend."

The monk showed a helpless expression for the first time, and patiently explained: "The poor monk only knew the general location before he came, and he never really came."

"Is there really a temple?" he blurted out.

Didn't Guanchen just make up an excuse and come to Chongzhou?

"It's true, the benefactor rests for a while, and I'll look for it after the poor monk." Guan Chen gave him a reassuring look, and turned his horse to look for it.

Ji Bieyun held the rein in thought, is this monk so thorough in his work?On the day before he left Chenjing, he actually found a temple in Chongzhou, and persuaded the people from Xuanqing Temple to go there alone.

After a while, Guan Chen came back scrambling in his sleeves, saying that he had found it.

When Ji Bieyun followed him, he laughed so hard that he almost fell off his horse.

"It's just such a piece of land with broken walls and ruins," he pointed to the dilapidated temple that didn't even have a Buddha statue. "How does the master plan to repair it?"
