Gospel of Lazy Cancer

The next day, Yao Chen was summoned to court, his face was red and swollen, and a palm print could still be seen.

The magistrate sat behind the case with a "mirror hanging high" above his head, seeing Yao Chen's appearance, he couldn't help but feel a little guilty.

Is Jinyiwei's torture of prisoners so careless?

slap?Still only one side?As a civil servant, he knew several invisible but particularly effective punishments.

There was a commotion among the Jianghu people who were hearing the trial outside the hall.

Scholars can be killed but not humiliated, they put face very important. Although Yao Chen is a suspect, he is also from the Jianghu. He was humiliated at the hands of the government. Although they looked down on Yao Chen's weakness and bullying, they were still unhappy.

Guo Yi stood upright at the position closest to the court, like a solitary pine and a strong bamboo, dressed in commoner clothes but with an astonishing aura.

This niece has always been unwilling to reveal her identity as a woman, just to cover up that Jin Yiwei fan?Since ancient times, how lucky a man is, that man is nowhere to be seen now!

Guo Yi unknowingly released the aura of a top master, and the surrounding crowd retreated three feet away from him.

Even the yamen servants noticed it, and looked at him vigilantly, for fear that he would violently attack on the spot. The servants have also worked very hard during this time, under great pressure, there are people with high martial arts skills everywhere, and they are involved in a major case that the temple pays attention to. , with the heart of selling real estate, but received the salary of selling cabbage.

Yao Chen glanced at Guo Daxia, who stood out from the crowd, and nodded to him, indicating that he was fine. The latter looked at him for a few breaths, and then eased his expression.

Guo Yi sighed.

This niece looks like she's doing something wrong, but she's actually a kind of love, but it's a pity that she's entrusted to someone...

Yao Chen stood on the defendant's stone on the right side of the courtroom, and looked at Xie Xuan on the plaintiff's stone on the left. Because of his fame, he had the privilege of sitting down, but his face was pale and ashamed, as if he had suffered a huge blow. Not much better.

The master held the complaint in his hand and read out the contents one by one. This complaint was written by Xie's family on behalf of the secretary. It clearly explained the reasons and facts of the case.

According to legal procedures, the plaintiff is tried first, and the defendant is tried second.Xie Xuan stated the case from the perspective of the plaintiff, accusing the defendant of raping and murdering his daughter. His detailed description of the process of discovering the body and the scene was consistent with the evidence collected by the government.

Then the defendant was interrogated, and Yao Chen defended himself, saying that he was wronged and was framed.

The magistrate was fair: "You claim to have been stunned, but the yamen guards did not search your room for drugs and other substances. What's your explanation?"

"High-grade mist is colorless and odorless, and there is no trace of embers."

Prefect: You are so knowledgeable about smoke, it makes people feel very comfortable!

"Do you have enemies?"

Yao Chen had no choice but to say, "People are floating in the rivers and lakes, how can they not be stabbed."

This sentence actually aroused a lot of approval.

The magistrate had no choice but to say, "Be quiet."

The magistrate already knew the inside story of the case through Park Jiayan, so he didn't focus on Yao Chen's other companion, but on the suspicious points at the scene.

There are indeed many doubts in this case.

The first is the time of the crime. It takes a certain amount of time to murder, infiltrate and humiliate a woman. At the same time, there is a piece of white wax that fell to the ground in the woman's boudoir. Compared with other white wax, it is a bit shorter. It should be that the candle fell to the ground when the crime happened. Calculate it , the time is about two quarters of an hour.It took less than half a moment for the guards to break into the courtyard and find Yao Chen lying on the ground after hearing the movement.Unless Yao Chen commits the crime first, then fights to attract attention, and finally pretends to be unconscious, but this is very unreasonable.

More importantly, there were indeed traces of a fight at the scene. Apart from Yao Chen, there were at least two other people present. According to the darts left at the scene, one of them was the fugitive leader of the Luoshu League.The other person may be Yao Chen's companion, whose whereabouts are still unknown.

The murder case involved another major case of treason, and everyone looked at Xie's family in a wrong way.

Where did the Xie family offend Luo Shumeng?First, the first culprit fled into the plum garden of the Xie family's other courtyard, and then appeared at the scene of Miss Xie's murder.

The quick-witted and well-mannered man began to mutter: Flies don't bite seamless eggs, the Xie family is probably not clean.

Xie Xuan was under pressure, he seemed to be ten years old all of a sudden, his temples were faintly white, and he lost his former vigor.

In order to draw a clear line with imperial criminals, the Xie family offered a reward of 1 taels of silver for the capture of imperial criminals.

A few days later, the body of the leader of the Luoshu League was discovered somewhere. There was a brocade handkerchief on his body, which was recognized by the servant girl of the Xie family as belonging to the young lady.

The laws of heaven are clear, and the law cannot be falsely accused.

Now that the truth of the case has come to light, Yao Chen was indeed framed by someone, and the real culprit has already died.

Xie Xuan didn't seem to want to get entangled, but just wanted to close the case as soon as possible and settle the matter.

The magistrate can understand his mentality. After all, it was a lady who was humiliated and killed in the boudoir. No one could help but wonder if the Xie family was as powerful as the rumors said, otherwise there would be no little thieves harming women and children.

Although there are still doubts about the case, such as Yao Chen's disappearing companion, who killed the leader of the Luo Shu League, and the relationship between the Luo Shu League and the Xie family...but with the acquiescence of many parties, the case is closed here.

"Allow me to burn incense for Ms. Xie." Yao Chen and Xie Xuan said, disregarding previous suspicions, their elegant demeanor won the favor of many people in the world.

"Please." Xie Xuan's eyes were complicated, a little disheartened, but he didn't stop him.

The winner is the king and the loser is Kou.

It's just that he still doesn't understand who he lost to.

Yao Chen got rid of distracting thoughts and offered incense in front of the girl's mourning hall.Although he is not married, he has made a promise to a famous disciple. The latter is willing to bury her in the ancestral grave to show his sincerity, regardless of the woman's humiliation in front of him. .The Xie family is very grateful, and it is a great gift to return.

Since ancient times, there have been many beautiful women, and all the flowers have fallen behind closed doors.

This young lady is not bad, but what about the dead little maid?It's just a sigh at the unnamed tomb on the unnamed mountain.

The grievances and grievances in the rivers and lakes, the wind and rain in the temple, who would regret these three lives?

Xie Xuan may not have this daughter in his heart, and Yao Chen actually doesn't have them in his heart, he just used this reason to return to Xie's mansion.

Yao Chen and Dongchang are connected to the hidden pile buried in Xie's mansion.

"Those darts were exchanged well, and I will give you a credit."

"Subordinates dare not take credit."

That night, the man in black was only using ordinary darts. After Yao Chen woke up, he observed the scene and found the darts. He made a quick decision and secretly gave the spies a secret command to replace the darts with the hidden weapons commonly used by the leader of the Luoshu League.

The corpse of the leader of the Luoshu League appeared at the back, and it was confirmed to be real, not another corpse pretending to be it. His fatal wound was stabbed in the back, as if he was defenseless against the assailant.Yao Chen guessed that what he did might not be a frame-up, maybe he hit the black hand behind the scenes who plotted against him, and Luo Shumeng might have been considered an outcast by the Xie family.

He thought of cutting off his tail to survive. Luo Shumeng had already been almost wiped out by the imperial court, and it was irreversible. After the death of the first criminal, he was completely finished.

After meeting the spies, Yao Chen went back to his and Pu Jiayan's room to pack his luggage, and a square green brocade box was placed on the table.

He guessed it was Park Jiayan's apology gift, and since he slapped him in the prison for revealing his identity as a Jinyiwei, he has never appeared again.

Yao Chen opened the box, and inside was a cup-sized jade-carved chrysanthemum, which could be made into a hairpin or a waist ornament.The flowers are budding, the outermost layer of petals is like light gold, and the inside is white like suet, and the color is gradual and lifelike.

Yao Chen could see that it was carved out of a whole piece of jade with an orange skin. It looked simple, even plain, but the carving was actually exquisite and ingenious, and it was not easy to find such a good piece of jade.

He was admiring the chrysanthemum - this matter is very pure - thinking about what Jin Yiwei's little wolf dog is doing now, suddenly a servant reported, thanking the old man for his invitation.

He was a little apprehensive, worried that he might be showing his feet, so he gathered his energy and went to meet the legendary Mr. Xie.

The richest man in the south of the Yangtze River was very old and a little rich. Seeing that he was not polite, he just said three words: "Follow me."

Yao Chen was silent, pretending to be calm, even if the other party directly groped somewhere in the bookcase and revealed a secret room, he didn't show much shock, even though his heart was already in a big trough.

What hidden plot did he trigger? !

Yao Chen's heart was beating wildly, he hesitated for a moment, and followed Mr. Xie into the secret room. The inside was twists and turns, and he walked for about two quarters of an hour before stopping.Yao Chen walked in, and saw an old man sitting in the middle of the stone room, and when he came in, he smiled kindly and kindly.

"I didn't expect that in the dying years of my life, I could still see my old friend."

The old man has white hair and a childlike face, with white eyebrows and beards, and his skin is as fair as a child's, without a single wrinkle.The years did not leave traces on his face, but settled in his eyes, looked at by that wise and peaceful gaze, even Yao Chen was rarely at peace, he was in awe of this elder, restraining all kinds of ghosts calculating.

Mr. Xie knelt down in front of the old man respectfully, with all his body thrown to the ground, his eyes full of piety, like a pilgrimage, as if the old man in front of him was the incarnation of the Buddha, the incarnation of light.

"Xiao Xiezi is always so polite, that's all, you go and fetch the scriptures on my desk."

"Here." Mr. Xie was like a loyal and humble servant in front of this old man, bowing out, leaving the two of them alone.

"Your ancestor was the protector of the Dharma. He fought side by side with Marshal Zhu. They were brothers. They lived and died together. Later, they had different ideas. The two parted ways. Your ancestor fled to the Western Regions and vowed never to set foot in the Central Plains." The old man said calmly. , without the meaning of ridicule, just narrating old things.

Yao Chen's heart was beating wildly, isn't the Marshal Zhu that Mingjiao said is my Chaotai/ancestor!Those who dare to call it that are at least equal to Tai/Zu back then!This old man has become a fairy, right? !

"Senior has a long life." Yao Chen said sincerely.

This is definitely a model of relying on age to kill all opponents, a proper winner in life!

"Hahaha!" The old man smiled happily, "Your temper is very different from that of your ancestors!"

"How did senior determine that I am the empress of the Mingjiao Protector Dharma King? Just because of my appearance? There are many people who look similar in the world, maybe it's a coincidence." Didn't the left envoy, Zhengyang, mistake him for his mother? ?

The wise eyes of the old man blinked mischievously: "Lua Shumeng is not only a false name, but the disciple is unworthy, if you are willing to study hard, you can also learn the method of looking at each other."

Yao Chen: "..." Damn!Feudal superstition!

His obvious expression of disbelief was seen by the old man, and the old man was not annoyed. He was like a teacher teaching students, saying: "In ancient times, there was a skill of observing people by observing eyebrows, saying: eyebrows are the canopy of two eyes, and they are actually a dignified appearance. The beauty of the sun and the moon, the distinction between the virtuous and the foolish." He took a sip of tea slowly, and then said: "Your eyebrows are sparse and beautiful, beautiful and long, intelligent, resourceful and resourceful; your eyes are smiling, with double strings up and down , the light is like water, and there are moles at the corners of the eyes, which seems to be sentimental and unlucky; however, the eyes are clear and energetic, the eyes are firm, and the mind belongs to one, so the heart should belong to each other, and the two should be in love. I count the days, the green dragon soars, the white tiger leaps Hey, it will be three days later."

"Cough!" Why did he suddenly become serious...

And talking about green dragons and white tigers, rather than yin and yang intercourse, mandarin ducks playing in the water, etc., have you already seen that you are gay?

Yao Chen is dubious.

"Palm." The old man was there.

"left hand right hand?"

"Both."

What about men left and women right?However, is number zero considered male or female?

Yao Chen stretched out his hands obediently like a little lamb caught in a trap, but this time the old man stopped talking. He held his palm and looked closely, pondering for a long time, watching his eyes change rapidly.

After a long time, he slowly uttered six words:

"If you get it, you can get the world."

"Don't hurt me." Yao Chen's hairs stood on end.

He is not a battleground for military strategists. There are three provinces and three cities in China, such as Xuzhou, Xiangyang and Hanzhong, which are of extremely important strategic significance. If they occupy it, they will be able to compete in the Central Plains and dominate the world.

This is not Mary Sue Jack Suwen, if this is the case, why are there so few number ones around him?In the past 20 years, I have met either straight men or eunuchs!Moreover, the first one to offer his sincerity and kneel down and sing conquest should be the emperor. They grew up together anyway, so they can be regarded as happy enemies, right?

In short, he is just a salted fish. If he was not suddenly sent out to be a spy, he would die of old age on the bed, drunk in the arms of the noble concubine, how could he have anything to do with the world?He is neither a treasure of dragon veins nor a secret book of martial arts, and even the golden finger given by the system is embarrassing...

However, having said that...

"Yu is already dying, why lie to you?"

At your age, you will be dead for many years, right?

Yao Chen slandered, his vigilance had already risen, those six words were too bad, as if he was involved in a big conspiracy to destroy the martial arts world and compete for the world, don't even think about living in peace in this life, if you don't die, you will lose your skin.

The old man seemed to see his thoughts and opened his trouser legs. Yao Chen was shocked. His skin was dark gray after death, his muscles had shrunk, and his bones were even exposed in some places, like dead branches of a sick tree. Swallowing life force, it looks really scary.The old man's body was dying, and it seemed that a special method had been used to slow down the rate of decay.

Yao Chen managed to maintain his composure: "It might be possible to save the dead tissue by amputating it."

"The divine doctor of Chinese medicine has also seen it. Seven or eight of Yu's viscera and six internal organs have died. His lifespan is approaching, and the mayfly is covered with water. Yu has already seen through it. He is holding on to this breath just to see you."

Even though Yao Chen had a heart of stone, he was a little moved at this moment.

"I don't believe your order. My father's surname may be Yao, and my mother's surname may be Jian. I have no father or mother since I was a child. I don't know who my parents are, and there are birthmarks on my body, so I can't be sure. However, I can tell you that my surname is Cao now."

Yao Chen took a deep breath.

"Cao of Dongchang Cao Governor."

Yao Chen also made a lot of determination, so he had the courage to tell the truth.

He is already doubting the old man's intentions. Does he already know his own life experience?

If I am really the Empress of Mingjiao Protector Dharma King...

The old man's calm demeanor finally changed.

When he uttered the fatal six-character comment, he was calm, and when he said that his lifespan was approaching, he was calm and calm, but when Yao Chen revealed his identity, his expression changed.

After a long time, he showed a half-smile expression.

"Man is not as good as God. In this world, the last name is Zhu..."

Yao Chen was a little sad, it was the sadness that came from the bottom of his heart, overflowing uncontrollably, he didn't know where these emotions came from, it seemed that he had passed through the pure time, crossed thousands of miles of borders, from the Mingjiao believers who fought bloody for the common people Going to death generously, fighting against each other from brother to wall, moving westward from Mingjiao in the Central Plains, stepping on a bloody path in the desert with bones...

He unconsciously touched his face, only to realize that his cheeks and chin were wet.

Yao Chen's mind was clear, and he was very clear that those hurtful and heroic emotions did not belong to him, as if they were transmitted to him from a mysterious place through the old man.

Before he recovered from this mysterious and unimaginable situation, he heard the old man tell another secret.

"Back then, when the powers in the church were fighting, I accidentally leaked Yu's order to you. Your mother was pregnant with you at the time. People in the Jianghu mistakenly thought that your mother was pregnant with a treasure, and they became greedy, so they kept chasing and killing you. In the final analysis, it was the remaining harm I lost your mother. If there is peace in the teaching, you can grow up safely, maybe there is hope for the revival of my teaching..." He shook his head and sighed, "Time is also fate. We lost a hundred years ago..."

The old man committed suicide by sitting cross-legged.

His expression was calm, as if he was just asleep.

"To pay for your life, Mingjiao's life is in your hands."

The old man's last words kept echoing in Yao Chen's ears. He even suspected that the old man had given him some secret technique, hypnotism or something like that, to convey his feelings for Mingjiao, longing for the light, and love for the common people to his heart. , so that his cold and indifferent heart soaked and grown in the conspiracy and tricks became warm and clean.

Mr. Xie brought the scriptures to Yao Chen, and he was not surprised to see the old man's body, so he sent Yao Chen away, confessed a few words casually, sealed the secret room, and never came out again.

Yao Chen thought that Xie's family had abandoned Luo Shumeng in order to survive, but in reality it was Mingjiao who had abandoned Xie's family.
