"Bei Gongchen has never done a bad thing in the first place, so why worry about it?"

Qin Shi said indifferently, "Only ghosts live in people's hearts. No matter where the body goes, the eyes will see layers of fear nourishing the growth of ghosts without exception, and they even need to talk about themselves often bluffing, so that So eager to hide the true self, lest others find out that it is abnormal.”

"Oh? That's really a pity. My heart has always been open and open like the sun shining brightly. It's not as filthy as you think. Even if there is only one lonely ghost, it is impossible to live well here. You have to scream and turn into ashes." Yue Qiong laughed disdainfully.

Qin Shi said: "For the first time, I knew that lying to myself can also become an instinctive reaction, and you have played it like fire and innocently. When the flood licks your feet, you say you don't care. When the flood floods your waist, you can't say it. , When the flood fills the gaps in the ends of your hair, you will no longer have the chance to speak, Yueqiong, you are a smart person, you should be able to understand the meaning of what I just said without me going into details, if you are willing to turn your back on the shore at this time It's not too late."

Yueqiong laughed so hard that her whole body trembled. She covered her forehead and raised her eyes. In her eyes, there was a viper sticking out its forked tongue and screaming menacingly. Its slender, slippery and disgusting body could be erected at any time. Two shots of venom shot out from the pointed teeth can send a family of five to lie in a coffin together.

"In Yueqiong's dictionary, there is no turning back and righting the shore, only the four words of invincibility. If there is a god in this world who will punish and reward, then it is only me! The incompetent way to persuade people to do good and accumulate virtue is to save money Forget it, I don’t want to do that, if you have the skill, why don’t you help Bei Gongchen think about how to write her father-killing epitaph so that it will last forever.”

Putting aside her dismissive words, she turned around arrogantly and walked away without looking back. Her steps were not light or heavy, but no one knew that her palms were very cold just now, and it was not because she was watching a fierce and abnormal scene. For the sake of the melee, it would only make her eyes glisten with honey.

She didn't stop until she reached a corner where Qin Shi and Zhao Yuan couldn't see, and checked to see if there was anyone around. After confirming that there was no one, she lifted her sleeve and sniffed the smell. There was a strong smell of cheap incense in her nose. , only such cheap quality can be fragrant in a short period of time, and expensive incense needs to work slowly.

Very well, she put down her sleeves, the corners of her mouth curled up in satisfaction, there was no longer a lingering worry in her heart, and she could finally go back to her room with peace of mind to get a good night's sleep. She was looking forward to the next meeting with Qin Shi With Zhao Yuan's big fight, I can't wait to see the wonderful scene of the moment when her own long-running plan will come true.

-

The green ginkgo leaves are spread over the top of the head in pieces, and the scenery here is picturesque, but it is not a good place to talk about important topics. There is no big difference between Qin Shi and Zhao Yuan in this feeling.

They wanted to leave, but the abbot suddenly stopped them. He not only called them into the room, but also took out a set of valuable classical tea sets and put them on the table. He smiled kindly and invited Qin Shi and Zhao Yuan into his room to sit down. , Slowly sip tea together as a thank you for the previous rescue.

The attitude is good, and the words and sentences can't be faulted, but if you believe [-]% that his impeccable polite words are sincere, then it is really stupid to be admired, and you want them to refuse to rush out of his yard. Going in and out is the real situation.

Just imagine that there is a jade-faced holy doctor who uses poison on the left, and a former demon cult leader who cultivates immortals on the right. The abbot feels that he, an old mortal who has passed through the years, is caught in the middle, and he is about to have a heart attack, but he can't just catch up with him. They left. Fortunately, Zhao Yuan and Qin Shi were not greedy for the tea at all. They said a few good words and left the small courtyard without even taking a step to the door of the room, which made him breathe a sigh of relief.

... Sigh, when will this matter end? He sat down and poured himself a cup of hot tea, steaming around in the porcelain cup, reflecting his absent-minded old face.

Today is the penultimate day of the seven days, and tomorrow is the deadline. No matter what, there will be no delays, right?

Even though I thought about it, I couldn't help recalling what Zhao Yuan said to Bei Gongchen during the scuffle - the princess, Qin Shi and I were not in the Shaolin Temple yesterday because we ran to find evidence to expose Yueqiong's perjury Yes, and we have successfully found that Fusheng can actually be saved...

Did they really find evidence?Or, this is actually just a consolation to tell Bei Gongchen not to get too emotional?The more he thought about it, the more he felt that the process was too complicated. He shook his head, thinking that he should not think too much, no matter whether it is round, flat, wide or long, tomorrow, no matter how reluctant he is, everything will eventually come to an end. The end of change.

Under the sycamore tree, Zhao Yuan had already walked back to the yard outside their room, and the backlog of emotions finally broke out. In the midst of his anger, no one could advise him to calm down and pretend nothing happened at this moment.

The original white and flawless clothes turned gray, and even the corners of the clothes touched a few brown mud, no matter what, people couldn't resist the urge to stare at it, but he is not in the mood now because of his severe cleanliness Focus on the little things.

"After doing so many evil things, Yueqiong dares to speak so brazenly! Where's her face? Was it thrown into the sea and slapped to the end of the world along the waves? It really pissed me off, oh my god, I don't know How can I live without being pissed off by her series of cheeky manipulations?" Zhao Yuan scratched his hair angrily, which made Qin Shi very worried about him. He always does this in order to vent his emotions. Go bald all day?

Qin Shi said: "Things will not go so smoothly. She has planted a bad cause, and it won't take long to reap the bitter fruit she planted herself."

"That being said." Zhao Yuan frowned, "But I still don't worry, her sharp teeth and sharp mouth are not just pretending, maybe her mouth can be sewn up with a needle and her teeth smashed with a hammer, but as long as her heart is still alive Without destruction, no one can defeat her extraordinary contempt."

Qin Shi raised his eyebrows, "Your evaluation of her seems to be completely different from before, unexpectedly it remains high."

"That's because I didn't know her deeply enough before. After yesterday, I deeply realized that the closer a person climbs to the sun, the more darkness will be firmly occupied under his feet. Darkness will not kill Dying her will only make her stronger." Zhao Yuan sighed softly, his tone gradually lacking strength to support him.

He doesn't live as transparently as Qin Shi. He is entangled with too many interests, one ring after another. If one ring is broken, it will be a huge impact of landslides. Bei Gongchen can't afford to lose, and he also He couldn't afford to lose, so he couldn't defeat Yueqiong, and he always had too many scruples. Maybe that's why Qin Shi could act unruly, but he could only envy him.

Qin Shi patted him on the shoulder lightly, the warmth was conveyed softly through the fabric, and his eyes were firm.

"But darkness is not omnipotent. A hurricane can break her body, and a flood can overturn her whole world. She only holds extraordinary contempt for others, and indulges her own desires. One day she will Will devour herself with dissatisfaction, and now is the day."

The words echoed in his ears, and Zhao Yuan suddenly felt an inflated self-confidence growing in his heart, which was as incomparable as the gentle warmth on his shoulders, like a sun, he could gain infinite power just by looking up, if he touched it with his hands , that is the best gift.

He nodded slowly, and then asked, "By the way, Qin Shi, what exactly are you going to do with the method you mentioned earlier that was specially used to deal with Yueqiong? Now there are only the two of us here, and no one else is squatting in the corner and pricking up our ears." Those who eavesdrop, can you tell me? Also, what do you need? What should I lend you?"

Qin Shi chuckled, and waved to him as if he didn't want others to hear it. Although there were really only the two of them left here, this fact still didn't change his thoughts at this time, which seemed extraordinarily mysterious. Unpredictable.

"..." Zhao Yuan approached suspiciously.

Two small brown sparrows are jumping back and forth on the thin branches, their heads are tilted, their bright yellow beaks are not moving, and the black eyes are the wormholes of different sizes on the swaying sycamore tree leaves , the two tall figures, one black and one white, couldn't attract their attention.

They lowered their heads and smoothed their brown feathers, raised their heads, lazily enjoying the warm sunshine falling on them, and only heard a few whispers under the plane tree, "I want you to lend me..."

Zhao Yuan immediately raised his head, his face was full of disbelief, his eyes stared like copper bells, and he lost his composure, "Are you serious? So it can still be like this!"

Qin Shi teased, "Why, do you feel distressed?"

"What are you talking about? I'm not so poor. Take as much as you want. I won't say a word. I'm just worried..." Zhao Yuan frowned.

"Yueqiong is just an ordinary person. I don't think she will be suspicious. I'm just worried that the other martial arts masters present will see the flaws in your plan. If they disturb you halfway, the plan will fall short, and we will lose everything. ah."

Qin Shi said indifferently: "In that case, let them become blind."

"...!" Breathing suddenly choked, Zhao Yuan couldn't help coughing violently, beating his chest with his hands, the strength was so great that the sparrows in mid-air spread their wings and flew away from the branches.

Qin Shi had no choice but to pat him on the back to help him calm down, and finally regained his composure. He took a deep breath as if he was about to swallow the last air in his life, and stared closely at the person in front of him, vigilant and nervous like an eagle.

"Qin Shi, could it be that you want to..."

Realizing what was going on in his head, Qin Shi shook his head, couldn't help but teased and said, "What a terrible thing to think, I don't want to blind those people's eyes, but to use the surrounding It’s just a small change in the environment.”

"Small changes in the surrounding environment?" Zhao Yuan looked dubious, but Qin Shi mysteriously stopped talking, okay, okay, he shrugged his shoulders helplessly, it seems that he still has to wait, just Hopefully, the end result won't be gut-wrenching but rather amusing.

-

The moon is very round, rounder than the moon on any other night. What time is it at this moment?No one can remember the exact time, because they are all yawning from sleepiness, arms crossed just trying to fall asleep.

Surrounded by deep and silent darkness, only a few torches were slowly burning, the light was too dim, and seemed to be extinguished at any time under the blowing of the wind, and everyone couldn't open their drooping eyes, as if a The hands, feet and heads of a puppeteer are restrained by extremely thin lines. If the puppeteer does not lift them up, they can only lie on the ground and remain motionless.

If it wasn't for the knocking on the door, the pajamas were still on and the boots hadn't been put on, and I opened the door anxiously, it turned out that Qin Shi and the abbot had agreed to start the trial of the murder case at midnight. His uncle!Don't rush at noon and don't rush at night. You have to wake them up from the gentle town when they are sleeping soundly. Isn't this deliberately disturbing their dreams?

Although they were cursing, they had to be cowardly. Whoever dared to go to the former Demon Cult leader to protest how inhumane this behavior was was doing it on purpose. They had no choice but to tidy themselves up and act as extras.

So it appeared that in the Shaolin Temple in the middle of the night, all the martial arts knights from all walks of life gathered in one place, old and young, standing in groups in this empty courtyard, if no one yawned, no Passers-by who knew it would think it was a group sleepwalking.

It was already painful enough to struggle in drowsiness, but the protagonists didn't show up quickly. Could it be that they fell into the latrine halfway and couldn't get up anyway?They were full of resentment and complained in their hearts. Although there are not many human rights in general, this is too much. Do you know that poor sleep will affect life expectancy?

I really couldn't wait any longer, and one of them couldn't help complaining: "...I really don't understand why the trial of the murder case was chosen in the middle of the night when the ghost knocked on the door? At first, I was able to comfort myself, but when I went out, I didn't know why. There is a moon overhead, and now even the moon has run away, standing here with the dark clouds blowing the northwest wind is simply suffering!"

"Who says no, we are almost catching up with the owls, and when we are hungry, we can catch a few mice to satisfy our hunger. Everyone can braise, steam, fry, or boil one at will, and we are still a little excited. Huh .” Some people also complained together, not to mention how mocking.

Another person shook his head, "Stop yelling, both of you, the ghost knows how sleepy I am now... When will this trial start? If no one can say for sure, I won't accompany you."

"That's right, there's no such thing as a prank. Whoever wants to wait can just wait. It's easy to be beheaded by that former Demon Cult leader. Anyway, I don't play anymore." A bad-tempered person said angrily.

"Did I hear just now that there is a person who wants to beg my help to chop off his head, huh?" Qin Shi slowly stepped forward from a certain deep darkness, with white hair fluttering, brows and eyes indifferent, and the corners of his mouth curled up unexpectedly It seems to be in a good mood, but in the eyes of others, it is scary, "Is there such a thing?"

The grumpy man trembled in shock, quickly waved his hands and refused to admit that it was what he said, and smiled awkwardly trying to live. "No, no! You must have misheard just now. How could there be such a ridiculous thing? I have never heard such an unreasonable request in my life. The guy who said this is out of his mind, hahaha."

"That's right, that's really regrettable." Qin Shi was rarely mean-spirited, and he sighed and expressed his displeasure, making everyone around him consciously abide by the principle of being ten meters away from the former leader of the Demon Cult and living a healthy and happy life. Aphorisms.

Soon, Yue Qiong came with an arrogant face, Zhao Yuan, Bei Gongchen and Fu Sheng also arrived shortly after, the abbot was the last one to arrive, the protagonists stood in the middle, and the martial arts warriors spread out as a melon-eating crowd Around.

In the empty yard, a few torches were shaking the burning flames, and everyone could only vaguely see half of the other party beside them, like an unpredictable sneak in the cemetery. Compared with the sunny day, the atmosphere seemed to be tied by a rope Tight as hell.

The abbot was also not feeling well. He stretched out the sleeve of his left hand and wiped the cold sweat that came out of his forehead. He had never felt such pressure as today. He thought back then that he thought this matter was really simple, and Fusheng escorted him here , according to the order of the imperial court, it is fine to punish him. I did not expect so many difficult people to appear in the Shaolin Temple at the same time.

Legend has it that the former leader of the Demon Sect who had just left the customs 100 years ago, the jade-faced holy doctor who can save people even if his kidneys are missing, the young knight who is unknown in the world but married the princess, and the powerful leader. The Princess Beigong, who is guarded by a group of sword guards, and the young but cunning Mrs. Beigong, these guys all gather together to entangle each other. I hope it will be as difficult as going to heaven if they don't fight each other!

And if it really happened, let alone him, even if other people went up together, it wouldn't be able to stop it at all!The abbot burst into tears in his heart, what evil did this old man do in his previous life, why did he fall into such a terrifying Shura field...

Before the trial officially started, he could only swallow two black pills to lower blood pressure for himself, in case he, an old man over fifty years old, died today without writing his suicide note... Sigh, Being a human being is tiring, why is being a monk so tiring.

Qin Shi said calmly, "Abbot, it's time to start."

"Then I announce now that the trial of Prince Beigong and Fusheng will begin for the third time."

The abbot held the firm attitude of seeing death as home, thinking that as long as he survived tonight and tomorrow, he would never accept such exhausting drudgery in his life!I repeated the cause and effect of this case as the previous few times.

"The plaintiff, Yue Qiong, sued Fu Sheng, and the husband who killed her is also the victim of this case—the Prince of Beigong."

"According to the investigation, the prince was stabbed to death in his bedroom half a month ago, and the murder weapon was found under the concubine's bed. Only one person claimed to have seen the concubine holding the murder weapon and running out of the prince's bedroom in the middle of the night. The only witness was The princess’s stepmother——Yueqiong.”

"In this regard, does the plaintiff admit to his own testimony?"

Yueqiong said straightforwardly: "I admit it, and every word I said is true, and the evidence Qin Shi and Zhao Yuan refuted me earlier is useless, which further proves that the murderer who killed the prince is Fusheng! And the princess is an accomplice!"

Qin Shi said lightly: "Yueqiong, you are so hasty to draw conclusions... It's because you dug out the beehive not long ago, and you're afraid that the ants will chase after you and bite you?"

Yueqiong sneered: "There are a few mice stealing things without knowing what to do. I am very annoying to see them, so I just tell them to go back to their hometown quickly."

"That's really embarrassing. The group of mice you mentioned seems to have discovered a treasure that has been buried for a long time. It happened to be used to pick off the human skin disguised by an old fox."

Hearing what Qin Shi said, Yueqiong's pupils shrank instantly and she even forgot to refute, her face became extremely abnormal as if she understood his digression, she hurriedly covered half of her face with a handkerchief to cover up her subconscious The panic revealed, when Ling Qingshan came out to testify, he was never out of control like he is now.

It's obvious that Qin Shi's metaphor just hit the panic she was most afraid of being known by others, that's why she made it so obvious that she couldn't even hide her erratic gaze. Qin Shi could see that she was flustered, He pursued the victory and took out a notebook in front of everyone.

"Yesterday, Zhao Yuan and I went to a place, and someone handed us this book, saying it was Yueqiong's diary, which recorded her daily experience. I didn't want to know what was written in it. But one of the messages stuck in it made me have to read it."

Qin Shi opened the pages of the book, and everyone heard him reading the words on it. The firelight shone on the pages, and a few lines were faintly revealed under the swaying.

"...The prince of Beigong really likes me. It's not in vain that I spent so much money pretending to sell myself to bury my mother. Soon I will be able to marry into the palace of Beigong. The glory and wealth are not easy to get. I will spend it on the prince's food in the future." Chronic poison. When the drug is released, even the legacy of the Beigong family will be mine..."

"Shut up!" Yue Qiong suddenly and viciously interrupted Qin Shi's unfinished sentence, "Holding something you don't need, pretending to slander someone! That's not my diary, this so-called diary is all about you Forged!"

Qin Shi raised the diary, "No? But the handwriting on it is exactly the same as what you usually write."

Yueqiong forcibly calmed down, and said in a very disdainful tone: "The same handwriting is mine? There are many liars in this world who can forge handwriting. What can they prove?"

"And I never feel wronged when I write a diary on this kind of rough and inferior paper, each piece is expensive white paper that is not easy to fade, and the outside is sewn with crocodile skin, and the corners of each white paper Embroider my last name with black thread, even if you want to slander me, you should do some homework anyway, take a broken notebook and talk nonsense, the dignified former leader of the Demon Cult actually did such a stupid thing, ouch, what a gesture It's really pretty."

Yue Qiong smiled, the irony smeared on Qin Shi's face like dung, and he didn't even bother to modify his sentences. After suffering such a great humiliation, anyone would have been trembling with anger, but Qin Shi didn't.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, he took out another thing slowly, a diary sewn with crocodile skin, revealing the white paper inside which was slightly yellowed due to time, and faintly black characters in the corners. Joan raised his eyebrows.

"Is this what you said?"

The smile on Yueqiong's face stagnated, she stared straight at the diary in Qin Shi's hand, opened her mouth, her face suddenly became extremely pale, and her hands trembled uncontrollably.

Qin Shi smiled and said: "I'm sorry, I just misremembered it, the one just now was just Zhao Yuan's medical notes, and the current one is the one I got yesterday from your husband who has not ended the relationship with you. diary written."

Everyone shouted in confusion, "What! Yueqiong actually has a husband?"

Yueqiong began to tremble all over.

Qin Shi continued: "At the same time, I would also like to thank you for your cooperation in helping us determine the authenticity of this diary. You also have many crimes that can be found in the diary: fraudulent money, attempted murder, bigamy, eating alive Fetus wait."

"There are many cases and none of the words in your mouth is true. There are so many lies. It seems that the testimony you provided before seeing Fusheng as a murderer is beyond count. If you still have doubts about this, I believe the Ministry of Criminal Justice There are many masters here who can help identify the writing on it."

The faces of the people present have completely changed, shock can no longer describe their feelings at this moment, "Fraud money, attempted murder, bigamy, live fetus... oh my god... is it true? This is too inhumane! "

"...you're lying...you're lying! I didn't do this at all!" Yueqiong suddenly went mad, her eyes were red, and she glared at Qin Shi viciously, as if she wanted to scratch him to pieces and bleed out his intestines Furious all over the place.

She suddenly threw the torch next to her and smashed it on the torch on the other side. The two torches fell to the ground, and the yard was completely dark.

In the darkness, Bei Gongchen immediately shouted angrily, "Hurry up and grab Yueqiong, she must be trying to escape in the chaos!"

Everyone was in a mess, no one knew who they were facing, and where Yue Qiong was. Suddenly, a flame burst out, and Qin Shi was holding an oil lamp.

With her hands behind her back, Yueqiong was captured by Zhao Yuan, but even so, she was still swearing obscenities, and her face was distorted so horrible that she didn't look like a girl.

Zhao Yuan said coldly: "I knew you would be dishonest, keep your mouth clean, Yueqiong, don't force me to take off one of your arms right now."

Qin Shi turned around, looked at the abbot and the others who couldn't react to this development at all, and said calmly, "I think the trial can be over."
