Princess Jinyang of the Tang Dynasty

Bian Ji was startled, and looked at Li Mingda in a daze, as if this was the first time he had heard of such a statement.

"You're so smart, you don't know what she thinks of you." Li Mingda said.

Bianji wanted to deny it, but after hearing Li Mingda's words, he was silent for a while before he said in a muffled voice: "Probably, but because I didn't make it clear, I'm not sure. I thought I was thinking too much."

"Then what do you do to her?" Li Mingda asked.

The defense machine looked back at Li Mingda, "I'm sorry to ask, the princess asked these details, why?"

"Jiang Lin's murder is very abnormal. We suspect that she was instigated."

"Could it be that the princess suspected that I was the one who instigated it?" Bian Ji continued to ask questions with a very quick response.

Li Mingda shook his head, "Of course it's not you. It's not pleasant to say it, but you don't have the ability."

Bian Ji sneered in embarrassment, although this person was indeed not himself, and he was not wronged, but he was inexplicably unhappy when he heard Princess Jinyang's words.

"Then who does the princess think this instigator is?"

"I don't know, that's why I want to ask you for help, but I don't know if I can help." Li Mingda said uncertainly.

"As a dying person, why should I agree to the princess' proposal?" Bian Ji asked.

"Based on the status of that person in her heart, I'm afraid you may not be able to find out if you ask." Li Mingda pondered thoughtfully.

Bian Ji's expression turned pale, and he faced the ground.

"This person knew Jiang Lin earlier than you. He was the first gentleman in Jiang Lin's life and had a deep influence on her. During the time you were with Jiang Lin, she never told you This person's existence, right?" Li Mingda asked.

Bian Ji nodded uncertainly, "I don't know if this person really exists. If so, she really didn't mention it to me."

"There must be this person, because this person not only instigated Jiang Lin, but also instigated the other two girls who grew up with her. Have you heard about the case of Meihua Temple some time ago?" Li Mingda asked.

Bian Ji nodded, "I heard that several nuns are murderers, could it be—"

"The two masterminds of the Plum Blossom Temple case, Hui Ning and Nun An Ning, are women who grew up with Jiang Lin." Li Mingda said.

Bianji was silent for a while, and then looked at Li Mingda, "Princess wants me to trick this person out of Jiang Lin's mouth? If I ask, is there any benefit for me, can it save me from death?"

"No." Li Mingda said, "What you and Princess Gao Yang committed, it is difficult for anyone to intercede. You are not an ordinary person, you are a monk. The saint will punish you even more severely, intending to convict you and cut you in half. If you really find out the clues of that person from Jiang Lin, I can promise to leave you a whole body here. You should know how important it is to keep a whole body, death is life, and leaving a whole body can still be reincarnated or Go to the Paradise of Bliss. If you cut it in half, you can only be a wild ghost with a broken body."

The defense machine was silent again, and after a while, he raised his head readily and agreed to Li Mingda.

"But I have one more request."

Li Mingda: "Tell me."

The defense machine looked around.

Li Mingda waved his hand and sent them away, leaving only Tian Hanshan by his side.

"Your lord, please help me to send a message to Princess Gao Yang," Bian Ji said, then closed his eyes for a moment, and after thinking for a long time, he said, "We will never see each other again in the next life."

"You are a magnanimous person, but I'm afraid that after passing this sentence to her, she won't realize your good intentions." Li Mingda reminded kindly.

Bianji smiled bitterly, "It doesn't matter."

Li Mingda nodded, and didn't say anything else. He only told him how to chat with Jiang Lin, and the time frame that he needed to focus on asking.

After Bian Ji agreed, he was taken down.

Li Mingda also left shortly thereafter.

……

Der Spiegel Prison.

Bian Ji was locked in the cell adjacent to Jiang Lin.

Jiang Lin kept hugging his legs and huddled in the corner without saying a word.Hearing someone coming, she didn't look up.The Yacha who was waiting to be escorted walked away, and the sound of footsteps gradually disappeared. After a long, long silence, Jiang Lin raised his head.The yacha unexpectedly didn't call her away, what did she come for?Jiang Lin searched around to check the changes around him, and saw a familiar figure facing away from him in the cell on the left.Jiang Lin froze, gradually opened his eyes to the maximum, and then rushed over.She clings to the bars of the cell, trapping almost half of her face between the two bars.

"Is that you?"

Bian Ji's body visibly stiffened, and then he slowly turned his head to look at Jiang Lin.

When Jiang Lin saw Bian Ji's face, his eyes widened to the extreme, "Why did they arrest you?"

"Of course I committed the crime, just like you." Bian Ji's emotions were not as agitated as Jiang Lin's, and his voice even revealed a kind of frosty indifference.

Jiang Lin was stunned for a moment, as if his enthusiasm had been poured with a basin of cold water, it had diminished a lot.She lowered her head and was silent for a while guiltily before slowly opening her mouth to apologize to Bian Ji.

"It's not that I want to confess you, it's that they found out about our house early in the morning and said that I had a relationship with you. But I have made it clear again and again that we are innocent, but those officials don't believe it Me! I'm sorry, I have troubled you. But don't worry, when they interrogate me again later, I will try my best to explain the relationship between us. "

"It's useless, no need to explain." Bian Ji said.

Jiang Lin looked at Bian Ji puzzled.

Only then did Bian Ji turn his eyes to look at Jiang Lin seriously, his eyes were covered with a layer of water, which made his handsome face even more affectionate.

"Even if there is no relationship between us, I will die, so you don't have to worry about it." After Bian Ji said, a wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.His face was extremely sad, and there was a sense of seeing through life and death in his eyes, which made Jiang Lin even more puzzled.

Jiang Lin: "But how could you, what happened?"

"The matter between me and Princess Gao Yang has been exposed." Bian Ji stopped.

Jiang Lin's eyes widened again, "What are you talking about, you and Princess Gaoyang—"

Bianji looked back at Jiang Lin, but Jiang Lin felt a little guilty, scratched his head, and avoided Bianji's gaze.

"Sorry, I really didn't expect that."

"It's okay, I also didn't expect you to kill someone." Bian Ji never took his eyes off Jiang Lin, staring straight at her, wishing to see her through.

Compared with murder, adultery is naturally more powerful than murder.

Surprised, Jiang Lin felt that he still had no face to face Bian Ji, so he covered his face with his hands, only showing a pair of eyes, and glanced at Bian Ji from time to time. "I, I had no other choice. It was really because the brothers and sisters of the Fu family were deceiving people too much. Brother Bianji, you must trust me."

"Well, I know you can't help yourself. We are all suffering, and we have been wronged since we were young." Bianji sighed, turned around and walked to the edge of the straw pile, he slid his hands a few times at will, and lay on it directly, It doesn't matter whether it is dirty or not, it seems to have put all these outside of me.

"Then the matter between you and Princess Gao Yang is also involuntary. I heard that Princess Gao Yang is very arrogant, the most aggressive, and does not allow people to resist. Does she see that you are good-looking, so-" The next words Jiang Lin didn't dare to say it, because she had already seen the obvious disgusted expression on Bian's face.

Bian Ji raised the corners of his mouth and smiled, "Why bother to say these things. Now the princess has left Chang'an, and I am here waiting to die."

Jiang Lin opened his mouth and frowned, watching Bianji feel distressed.She leaned over to the railing again, clutching the railing tightly, wishing she could squeeze her whole body out of the gap and jump into the cell on the other side of the defense machine.

"No matter what, I'm with you now. We can be regarded as brothers and sisters in need. We can't live together but we can die together."

Bian Ji nodded and looked at Jiang Lin with a slight smile, "That's true."

"Brother Bianji." Jiang Lin looked around, seeing no one there, so he stretched out his hand to Bianji.

Bian Ji was stunned for a moment, but finally got up, walked to the place closest to Jiang Lin, sat down, and put his hand on hers.

Jiang Lin immediately held Bianji's hand tightly, and tears fell from his eyes immediately. "It may not be right to say this at a time like this, but it is what I really think in my heart. This is probably the happiest time in my life. Being able to die with you, at least we will not be alone on the road to Huangquan .”

"I don't regret my death. After all, I have violated the precepts and have a relationship with such a person. I can't escape death. But you, at a flowery age, why do you want to kill?" Bian Ji asked.

Jiang Lin pursed his lips and lowered his head, "Saburo Fu coveted my beauty and always wanted to take me by force, but he couldn't refuse after several times, so I killed him in a moment of impatience."

"And what about her sister?"

"Her sister is an accomplice, and she failed to frame me. She also wanted to frame others. This pair of unclean brothers and sisters should have died a long time ago, and shouldn't be left to pollute the world." When Jiang Lin said this, his eyes revealed a completely different look from before. His emotions were ferociously mixed with anger, and the back molars were bitten together so fiercely that the flesh on both cheeks was tense.

"You can leave the Fu family." Bian Ji said, "Don't you have a chance to leave?"

Jiang Lin was stunned for a moment, "But why should I hide, it's not me who made the mistake, it's them!"

Bian Ji looked at Jiang Lin in surprise, and was surprised by her answer.

"Brother Bianji, did I scare you?" Jiang Lin keenly noticed the change in Bianji.

Bian Ji shook his head, "I remember you told me before that you grew up in a cottage and were humiliated and wronged all the time, and then you managed to escape."

"Well, it's not easy." Jiang Lin sighed in agreement.

"That's why I thought your life didn't come easy, but it's really not worth it to pay yourself for killing two scumbags. Poor boy!" Bian Ji clasped his hands together, recited a few sutras, and prayed for Jiang Lin.

Jiang Lin looked at Bianji reluctantly, and smiled, "It's okay, I said it earlier, and now I have brother Bianji die with me, I am already very content."

"It is said that before a person dies, talking about the killing in the past life can dissolve all hostility, go clean, and then reincarnate cleanly. When you are in your next life, you will live a clean life for the rest of your life, and you will never die again. There is such an experience now.

No matter how bad the brothers and sisters of the Fu family treat you, it is always wrong for you to kill people, so you have to defuse your anger.But I don't understand, you just confessed everything to me, and I also recited sutras for you, but why do you still have a lot of hostility? After Bian Ji finished speaking, he sat cross-legged and read to Jiang Lin with his palms folded.

When Jiang Lin heard the word "clean", he nodded nervously and thanked the defense machine.However, I heard that her hostility hadn't dissipated completely. Thinking that she still had something to do, she asked Bian Ji uncertainly, "Do you have to tell all the murders you committed in your life?"

"Of course." Bian Ji opened his eyes and looked at Jiang Lin, "You still have something to say? Just say it well and don't be afraid of anything. You and I are going to die together. Do you care about any secrets? "

Jiang Lin thought about it, and told Bian Ji what she did in the cottage back then.

"At that time, Hui Ning and An Ning, I, and I hated those promiscuous nuns, and we pitied them for falling into such a state. We used a kind of poisonous fruit that grows on Wutou Mountain, ground it into a pulp, and gave it to the mother little by little. They drugged them and wanted them to die early. Brother Bianji, we really did it out of good intentions. When my mother secretly cried with me, she also said that she would rather die if she had enough of being ruined in the mountains. It's all over, but we don't have the courage to die. We three children endured the humiliation and carried the guilt, just to help them get rid of it."

"Who told you that killing them would be a relief for those nuns?" Bian Ji asked.

"No one." Jiang Lin was taken aback before answering.

"Who told you that killing them all is a relief?" Bian Ji asked again in a stern tone.

"There's really no one." Jiang Lin's voice in reply was half a minute lower.

Bian Ji stared at Jiang Lin with a blank face, "I never expected that the people who just said that they shared weal and woe and went to death together turned their heads and refused to tell me the truth. What else do I have?" The idea of ​​giving the other party a salvation and purifying the soul is extremely stupid."

After talking, Bian Ji turned his back, ignored Jiang Lin, and chanted scriptures on his own.

"I said, I know that Brother Bianji is doing it for my own good, but I am wrong. It's just that I don't know who this person is. When the three of us were in Wutou Mountain before, there was a self-reported bravery to become a bandit." In his teens, he looks very handsome, not much older than us, but he speaks like an adult. When he came, he was wearing linen clothes with blood stains on his body, but when he smiled, his teeth were white , very beautiful. He told us that the only mother who raised him was forced by the clan to commit suicide at home. He hated those people and didn’t want to be taken away by his uncle, so he cut off his uncle’s hand with a knife and came to become a bandit. He vowed to avenge his hatred when he grows up. Later, he stayed in the mountains and did some odd jobs for the bandits. He and our three sisters often played and chatted together. He was so powerful that he could speak every word When it comes to our hearts, he knows what the most difficult and painful things are in the hearts of the three of us, and he can always explain us in a few words. The three of us love to talk to him, and we also like to tell him psychological things. Later he told I said, people can’t be too useless, since they feel that the table is covered with dust, why don’t you try to wipe the dust away? He also told us that there is a kind of fruit on Wutou Mountain, and the sheep will die after eating two bites.”

"What's his name?" Bian Ji hurriedly asked.

Jiang Lin: "Jiang Liang, we all call him Ah Liang. He stayed in the cottage for half a year, and then one day, someone came from the cottage and said it was his uncle, who wanted to take him away. In order to thank the cottage for raising him, I also left a few bolts of silk as a reward."

"It seems that you admire him very much, and you have adopted his current surname?" Bian Ji sighed in surprise.

"That's right, I've admired Ah Liang to the bone," Jiang Lin said frankly, "He's very nice, really nice, and considerate of my every thought. When helping me, comfort me. He also taught me a lot of principles of life and life, there is no other person in this world who treats me better than him.”

"Strange, I remember you just said that he was only a boy in his teens at that time, how could he make you feel like a father?" Bian Ji asked doubtfully.

"I can't tell. In short, he feels like the warm sun in March. It's warm. Every look and every smile in his eyes can warm people's hearts. The three of us like to get along with him very much. Later, Hui Ning was the first to kill a nun, vying for credit, and won his praise. An Ning and I were not far behind, and we also made a move. Thinking about that time, I don’t know why, but I just wanted to get from him. I got a compliment in my mouth, but I was willing to do everything, and I was happy easily. I still remember when I took the medicine for the first time, I waited nervously, panicked, and finally heard that the person died. After reacting to all this, my mood instantly became different from before, and I became more and more relaxed, only then did I realize what it means to be alive.

By the way, he also taught us how to read. In just half a year, he taught us ten words every day, all of which are commonly used.He told us that if he left in the future, he would use the words he taught to write to us. The three of us learned it very seriously at that time.Later he went down the mountain, and sure enough, every other day, he would leave letters to us at the agreed place. "Jiang Lin couldn't help smiling when he said this.

"What about now, do you still have contact with Jiang Liangke?" Bian Ji asked hastily.

Jiang Lin shook his head, "It's gone for a long time. After he left, we contacted by letter for a year, and he bid farewell to us because his uncle wanted to take him south."

"So up to now, you have never seen each other again?" Bian Ji asked again.

Jiang Lin nodded, regretfully said: "Yes, I don't know what he has become now, but I want to see him, but I can't."

"A person who instigates you to kill, you actually think he is like a brother, loving like a father..." Bian Ji was astonished, never expecting such a strange thing to happen in the world.

"What 'instigating murder', I told you earlier, those nuns are not clean, they should have been freed long ago, the three of us are just helping, we would rather bear the pain by ourselves, and let them get rid of the pain earlier, and cleanly reunite Start the next life. This is not murder, but true filial piety to them." Jiang Lin was already alert to the fact that Bian Ji's thoughts seemed to be different from his own, and the eyes he looked at Bian Ji became less gentle than before, "I I always thought that besides Ah Liang, you knew me best, but I didn't expect that you, like those ordinary people, also thought I was crazy."

"You are a lunatic, and a disgusting lunatic." Bian Ji made no secret of his disgust for Jiang Lin.

Jiang Lin was stunned, and when he realized it, his face was ferocious, his eyes were bulging, and he glared fiercely at Bian Ji, "I was so kind to you before, but you think of me like that, I'm really blind! Ah, yes, I Why did I forget, you have long been unclean. I thought you were coerced by Princess Gaoyang, and I had no choice but to... think that your heart is clean after all. I never thought that you are also dirty, damn it!"

"Heh." Bian Ji suddenly heard Jiang Lin cursing himself so suddenly, but he was not used to it, but he was prepared.Even death can be faced, so what is there to be afraid of a few curses from a lunatic.

Bian Ji simply lay down on the straw, with his hands on his arms, and said nothing.

Jiang Lin was still cursing, until his voice became hoarse. Seeing that the other party was unmoved, Jiang Lin became anxious. He grabbed the dirt on the ground and hit the defense machine, kicking the cell door frantically.The yamen servants hurriedly beat Jiang Lin with sticks from outside the cell, and Bian Ji was escorted out of the cell.

Li Mingda had already heard all the conversations in the back of the cell, so he turned and went to the main hall.

Not long after, Yachai came to ask Li Mingda if he still wanted to see Bianji.Li Mingda shook his head, and sent someone to send the defense machine back to Jingzhao Mansion.

"Tell him in a low voice, I will definitely bring his words to him." Li Mingda sent Tian Hanshan to explain the matter.

Tian Hanshu agreed and went with the Yamen messenger.

Li Mingda then wrote down all the clues that Jiang Lin revealed about the mysterious boy Jiang Liang, and soon after that, when Fang Yizhi came again, Li Mingda showed them to him.

After Fang Yi looked at it, he frowned and shook his head, "Could it be his real name."

"How do you know?" Li Mingda asked.

"This person took the initiative to go up the mountain, and after staying for half a year, someone took the initiative to lead him away, and also took the silk as a thank you gift. This matter, at first glance, is not wrong." Fang Yizhi analyzed "But at the beginning, the so-called mother was forced to death, he fled to the mountains to become a bandit, and to avenge his uncle. These purposes were not explained later. Moreover, when this young man got along with Jiang Lin and others, he did not mention it. There is nothing about his revenge at all. Why? Because this was just an excuse for him to go up the mountain, and his real purpose is not this.
