Don't be clouded

Ji Bieyun brought many people with him this time, the post house was almost empty, only four people were left to guard Gu Shanyue.

Dai Fengmao was restless, and before leaving the post house, he approached him and said, "Shouldn't we keep more people here?"

"The people behind the scenes are watching Cai Han closely, maybe there are some clues left by his family, we should be careful." Ji Bieyun replied.

Before Dai Fengmao came to Chongzhou, Ji Bieyun told him about the secret blood book in the Dali Temple Prison, so he naturally knew that Cai Han was framed.

Those people recklessly robbed Cai Han from the prison, probably because they knew that the other party showed signs of letting go in Dali Temple, and wanted to silence him.However, if the story is silenced in prison, it is likely to expose the fact that there are villains in the third department, so it took a lot of trouble to rob Cai Han, and made up a reason for the inappropriate distribution of the spoils to kill him.

Dai Fengmao shook his head, he didn't expect that Yushitai would be so dirty.

Just as Cai Han was about to let go, he was robbed that night, and now there is another incident of concealing the flood in Chongzhou.These people ambushed in the imperial court and used their power for personal gain. They really did harm to the Quartet.

The group of them soon arrived at Cai Han's residence.

Although Cai Han lived in the governor's private house as a coachman for a long time, he also became a family and had his own room outside.But here is a whole city away from the governor's private house, in the residential area opposite the Yuan River.

The nearby houses are not rich, the houses are simple and the alleys are narrow.

It was inconvenient for them to go forward with horses, so they had to leave the horses at the intersection and let the two guard them, while the rest walked in.

Cai Han's residence had also been searched long ago, and a seal was pasted on the door.After they opened it, they found that it was empty inside, which could be described as a barren house.

Ji Bieyun walked to the wall, and there were distinctly colored dividing lines on each wall, the lower wall was whiter, and the upper wall was darker.

He speculated: "There was a lot of furniture in the house, and it should have been moved."

Dai Fengmao heard it, and asked in confusion: "Why do you have to move everything away if you want to clear up the clues?"

"Maybe they don't want people to know the whereabouts of Cai Han's family?" He thought for a while, "Assuming that the murderer in the Miemen case is the power of Yushitai, and they arrest Cai Han for the crime, they will definitely negotiate a good condition with him, and that condition is very It may be the safety and wealth of Cai Han's family. In order to avoid leaving any clues for Cai Han's family, they simply emptied the place."

After Ji Bieyun finished speaking, his brows did not open.

Although this set of arguments made sense, he always felt that something was wrong.

Cai Han's residence is not big, there is only one main room and two side rooms next to it, but there is a large open space behind the main room.There are a lot of trees planted in the open space, but they haven't been taken care of much, it looks dense and messy.

Ji Bieyun walked into the yard alone, and felt familiar footsteps following behind him.

Holding the Buddhist beads, Guanchen looked at the place, and suddenly said: "Since Yushitai is collaborating with the governor of Chongzhou, why did he suddenly kill the governor and his family?"

He turned his head and guessed following the words: "Have you turned against each other?"

"If it's just ordinary enemies, why did Yushitai kill people and silence them?" the monk asked again.

"You mean..." Ji Bieyun paused, "The governor threatened Yushitai! He is very likely to expose Yushitai's bullying, and he still has evidence, so he caused his death!"

Guan Chen nodded and said: "That's exactly what I mean. If it wasn't an urgent matter, even if they turned against each other, Yu Shitai would not choose such a high-profile way to deal with it."

"Then they emptied this place... did they look for something?" The answer came to mind, Ji Bieyun and Guanchen looked at each other, seeing affirmation in each other's eyes.

He paced here, thinking in a low voice: "Cai Han doesn't look stupid. If you want him to take the blame, only a promise is not enough. Therefore, he may have stolen the evidence from the governor and left it to Family members, I want them to have the confidence to negotiate terms with Yu Shitai."

After pausing for a moment, he stroked it again from the beginning, and found that this guess made sense.

The current question is, where did Cai Han's family hide the evidence?If you carry it with you, it is impossible for the people at Yushitai to turn this place upside down.

The evidence must still be in Chongzhou.

"Where will it be..."

Ji Bieyun set his sights on the untouched land.

Want to try it?

He was about to ask someone to dig up the land when he suddenly realized something, stopped and looked at Guanchen.

"How do you know it's Yushitai? Dai Fengmao told you?"

When Dai Fengmao informed him of the clues he had found, although Guan Chen was on the stairs, he was not too far away, so he probably didn't hear him.

The monk replied, "I guess."

Ji Bieyun thought for a while, "We went to Fengyu Tower last night, and you found that there was water in it, so you guessed it then?"

Guan Chen said: "It's just a random guess, so I dare not jump to conclusions, and I'm afraid of disturbing your audiovisual if I tell you. When you asked me about Lingzhou's supervisory censor, I knew you had found a clue."

He couldn't tell whether he was jealous or proud, so he snorted softly, "Smart man."

"You can guess what I'm thinking," the monk smiled, "and I'm also a smart person."

Ji Bieyun walked into the front room and said, "No, I understand you. When you don't speak, there must be something good in your heart."

Guan Chen raised his eyebrows and waved to him, "Come here."

"You don't want to do it, do you?" Even so, he walked over.

Unexpectedly, he was suddenly pulled by the arm by the monk and pulled over.The two were very far away, he was in a trance when he heard the monk lower his voice and said: "There is an ambush, just outside the courtyard wall, the benefactor must protect the poor monk's life."

Is there really an ambush?Why didn't he notice it?

He had spoken casually to Dai Fengmao before, and originally thought that the other party would not be so stupid as to send him to the door, but he did not expect to come.

"How did you find out?" he asked softly.

"The leaves move automatically without wind," Guan Chen said with a smile, "it's naturally suspicious."

Ji Bieyun withdrew his hand that was reaching out to touch the knife, raised his eyes and said, "Lead the snake out of the hole, don't worry, follow me."

There was a joke in the monk's eyes, "Thank you, the benefactor, for protecting the poor monk comprehensively."

He pulled Guanchen forward and murmured: "What kind of poor monk, what kind of benefactor, the title that I finally gave up, here comes again."

Ji Bieyun asked someone to get a few shovels elsewhere, and called everyone to the backyard to dig the ground.

He also went down to the ground with a shovel and worked hard without complaint.Only Master Guan Chen stood aside, looking at them leisurely, very leisurely.

Dai Fengmao leaned over quietly and asked, "What are we digging for?"

Ji Bieyun shoveled down heavily, and the dirt flew up, "It's a good thing that can bite off a piece of Yushitai."

As soon as he said this, Dai Fengmao became more energetic and dug desperately.

A group of people dug from dusk until dark, and a few lanterns hung on nearby tree branches, barely illuminating the land under their feet.

From an unknown direction, there was a sudden cry of surprise: "Dug it!"

Ji Bieyun hurried over, only to see something protruding from a deep pit, and he reached out to touch it, it was a clay pot.He scraped away the soil next to it, pulled out the clay pot, and lifted the lid. There was only a folded letter paper inside.

found it.

He put the lid on the bottle again, raised his head and said, "Go to the door and wait, I'll come out right away."

There are too many people, and it is not easy to shoot the opponent.

Dai Fengmao was the first to object: "What are you doing! It's not suitable to stay here for a long time."

It was inconvenient for Ji Bieyun to speak out, so he just winked, hoping that the other party could understand.

"Don't obey the military order? Get out quickly."

The light was not good, Deputy Captain Dai seemed to be stunned for a moment, Ji Bieyun was not sure that the other party understood, so he could only drive him away.

After everyone left, Ji Bieyun took out the letter paper and walked out of the field, "Guanchen, take a lamp."

The monk stood on the spot from dawn to dusk, and at this moment he finally made a move, walked to the tree and took down the last lamp in his hand.But he didn't leave, instead approached Ji Bieyun.

"Why didn't you tell them in advance?"

In order to avoid being exposed, Ji Bieyun also moved closer and said, "Isn't there you here, give me the light, go out."

However, at this moment, there was a sudden noise on the other side of the wall, the shadow of the tree shook violently, and five people jumped down.They were outflanking, and they couldn't tell whether they were knives or swords, but they all shone coldly.

"It's impossible to go out." Guan Chen said softly.

He glanced at the calm monk, Guan Chen would be in danger if he left at this time.In order to prevent distraction during the fight, he handed out the letter and said softly, "Put it away, and stand still."

Ji Bieyun leaned towards his waist, but the knife was unsheathed little by little.

Haven't had a fight in a long time.

He somewhat missed the feeling when he was holding the ring head knife, so he unconsciously rolled up the knife and stepped forward with his toes.

The two sharp blades collided, and as the body shapes changed, the blades rubbed against each other, making a teeth-stinging sound.Ji Bieyun didn't dare to stay too far away from Guanchen, so he could only use defense as offense and fight one by one.

He kicked one with his long legs, and took advantage of the time to ask, "It's just you guys, there's no one else?"

No one answered him, and several long swords stabbed at him, one towards the head, one towards the abdomen, and another on the back.Ji Bieyun threw the knife up, held it with his backhand, stabbed backwards and sideways avoided the blade that had been cut in front of him.

But the cold knife felt the touch of sinking into the flesh and blood, and he pulled out the knife, bringing out a string of blood beads.

It is impossible to keep everyone alive. These people are desperate, and he can only kill them.

Out of the corner of his eye, the person who was kicked by him got up and rushed straight towards Guanchen. He panicked, and the two people in front of him also rushed over.

The monk was pointed at by the long sword, but he didn't move at all. He only turned to the side when the tip of the sword was about to touch the door, avoiding the sword in good time.

While Ji Bieyun ran to save people, he felt that he was cheated.

He thought this monk was powerless!

Why is it so flexible when hiding a sword, and also predicts the moves?

He pushed aside the man's sword, stabbed him into the abdomen, and kicked him to the ground.

"You obviously know how to fight!" Ji Bieyun yelled angrily, turned around and kicked one person sideways, kicked one person in the back of the neck and then pressed down, directly hitting the person on the ground.

"I won't." Guan Chen's voice became calmer amidst the sounds of fighting.

He looked back, and saw the monk holding a lantern and retreating again and again under the enemy's attack. Although he didn't fight back, he was unscathed in the dense sword shadow.Like a crane, floating and independent in the bloody storm.

Ji Bieyun was angry.

Anger rushed to the top of his head, making him dizzy, and his strikes became more ruthless, knocking everyone else to the ground with a few blows, and he went to Guan Chen with a long knife.

He wanted to stop for a moment, to see if Guan Chen would fight back, but he didn't make up his mind to intervene, and finally made a move.

But this one he didn't use the knife, he just knocked him out.

Ji Bieyun returned the cold knife to the sheath, Xingshi asked the crime: "I said, if you lie to me, I will retaliate tenfold."

The monk's clothes were not stained with dust, and he handed out the well-protected letter paper, "Wait and see."

He reached out to take the fluffy piece of paper, and was about to speak when the lamp suddenly fell to the ground.Without warning, Guan Chen leaned forward and brushed past him.

The saber at his waist was pulled out with its sheath attached, Ji Bieyun turned his head, and saw the monk holding the saber behind his back, raising his hand and slashing the saber, a gray cloud swayed from the wide cuff.

With the scabbard pinned to his neck, the attacker backed up again and again and then fell to the ground. He was pressed firmly to the ground by the scabbard and tried to struggle.

For the first time, Ji Bieyun was stupid in the fight, his feet were moving, but his mind was in chaos.

Guan Chen half-kneeled on the ground, looking back at him, his eyes were full of coldness.

"Come here, make up the knife."

He came back to his senses suddenly, kicked up a long sword by his feet, caught it with his right hand, flew forward and pierced the man's heart fiercely.

The struggle stopped abruptly, and the man was utterly dead.

Ji Bieyun raised his eyes in a daze, and looked at Guan Chen.

Guan Chen made a move to save him, if he had pulled out the Quehan knife just now, Guan Chen would have killed this person.

Fortunately, Guan Chen remained rational.

A suffocating silence spread between the two.

The monk was a little abnormal, staring straight at him, there was no peace in his eyes, and said: "Don't take it lightly when you make a move."

As if someone had strangled his throat, Ji Bieyun just nodded in a daze.

"You..." He opened his mouth but didn't know what to say.

The monk lowered his eyes, and when he raised them to look at him again, those eyes were reflected by the candlelight and returned to calm.

"I'll go out and wait for you."

Guan Chen took a deep look at him, got up and left.
