Don't be clouded

Chapter 47

When Guan Chen left, the people waiting outside just rushed in.

Dai Fengmao called "Master", but Guanchen ignored him abnormally. He drew his sword and rushed in in a daze, only to see that the battle was over.Ji Bieyun held the sword in his right hand and the ring head knife in his left, standing there as if his soul had come out of his body.

When I got closer, I saw blood spots all over my body.

"Boss..." Dai Fengmao glanced at it, and felt that there was no need for their help.

Ji Bieyun finally had a reaction, raised his finger and pointed to the distance, "The man passed out, take him back to the post."

When they got the order, they hurried over to lift the man up and tied him up.

Dai Fengmao glanced back, what he saw almost made him jump on the spot.

The young man was holding the sword, and was stabbing the corpses on the ground one by one, with a blank expression on his face.Every time he came to a corpse, he stabbed a sword in the heart, and then kicked him with his feet after the stabbing, but he stopped when he saw no response at all.

Ji Bieyun seemed to sense his gaze, turned his head to look over, and asked nonchalantly, "What's wrong?"

Dai Fengmao felt that the boy's appearance was a bit scary, although he had no killing intent, he was neurotic.After hesitating for a moment, he said, "It looks like they're all dead, so there's no need to do it again."

The young man drew out his sword and replied absent-mindedly, "Well, you can't take it lightly."

After finishing speaking, he walked outside, seeing that they didn't follow for a while, he turned around and urged.

Deputy Captain Dai and his brothers looked at each other and made a mouth shape - "Weird".

So weird.

These two people seem to have experienced something.

A group of people rode back to the post house again.

Before reaching the door, Geng Xiang ran over in a hurry, and hurriedly said: "General...something happened!"

Ji Bieyun dismounted unhurriedly, "Is someone here to silence you?"

He was not excited, but some people couldn't sit still. Dai Fengmao rushed in without caring about the others.

"Are any of our people injured?" Ji Bieyun took the rein and patted the horse's head.

Geng Xiang shook his head, "According to the general's order, no one was injured, it's just..."

"It's just that you didn't catch someone alive?" Ji Bieyun added the second half of the sentence.

"Yes, that man committed suicide."

Ji Bieyun didn't say anything, just walked straight into the post house.After walking a few steps, he ran into Dai Fengmao who ran out in a hurry.

"Did you guess that someone would attack Gu Shanyue early in the morning? That's why you transferred all the people, leaving only a few, so that the other party will come to your door?" Deputy Captain Dai yelled loudly before he came to the front , "And let our people pretend to be her, where did you hide Gu Shanyue?"

"Stay upstairs." Ji Bieyun was physically and mentally exhausted, and he didn't have the strength to speak, but he still patted Dai Fengmao's shoulder to express his comfort.

The surrounding torches made the night darker, and Ji Bieyun had a double image on everyone.

He knew that he hadn't rested for too long and couldn't hold on for too long, so he took out the paper hidden in his sleeve and said softly, "Bring the torch closer."

In an instant, several fires came together, illuminating the extremely scribbled handwriting on the paper.

Ji Bieyun's face darkened when he saw it for the first time.It is impossible for this to be the handwriting of a certain official in Yushitai, but any high-ranking Korean and Chinese official, not to mention being rich and talented, at least practiced calligraphy and reading since childhood.And the writing of this letter is obvious at first glance, and the person who wrote it probably has never practiced it.

Dai Fengmao was less euphemistic than he, and said directly: "Hey, this dog's word is almost catching up with me."

"It should have been copied by Cai Han in a hurry." Ji Bieyun read the general content to confirm this idea even more.

The letter was written by Yushitai. It probably said that the new emperor had just ascended to the great treasure, and the situation in the court had changed, so the governor should prepare early and act in a low-key manner.

After thinking about it, he folded the letter and put it away carefully.

"Although it can't be used as conclusive evidence, it can also prove some things." If it is shown to Emperor Yuanhui, even if the letter is copied instead of the original, the emperor will be suspicious of Yushitai, right?

Dai Fengmao nodded, "Then you go up to sleep? I feel like you're about to fall."

Ji Bieyun was almost speechless, his eyelids were as heavy as two stones, but before he left, he still ordered: "You have enough experience, you should interrogate the person you brought back first, and watch carefully tonight. Come on, don't let anything happen."

After he finished speaking, he walked towards the stairs. When he raised his foot, he had no strength and almost fell forward. He grabbed the handrail in a hurry.Almost at the same time, the other hand firmly supported him.

You don't have to look up to know it's the monk Guanchen.

The two stepped up the stairs together, Guan Chen also walked slowly in order to take care of him.

Ji Bieyun said in a daze, "I have blood on my body, don't get it on."

"No problem." Guan Chen replied.

He blinked, stared at the stairs under his feet and said: "Don't worry, I won't reveal what happened tonight. After returning to Chenjing, you will still be the dust-observing master who doesn't cause dust."

"Are you referring to the fact that I helped you kill someone?" The monk seemed not to shy away from this, and he said it so smoothly and calmly, "I am already in the world of mortals, how can I not be stained by dust."

Ji Bieyun remembered the four lines of gatha that children can recite, and whispered it out.

"Bodhi does not have a tree, and a bright mirror is not a stand." He read slowly, as if recalling the next sentence, and then said after a pause, "There is nothing in the first place, so where is the dust?"

He stepped up another step slowly, and smiled, "You Zen ancestors have already said so, why do you still go against him, wouldn't it be better not to stir up dust?"

Guan Chen's hand was firmly supporting his forearm all the time, and after a moment of silence, he replied: "That's too much attachment, attachment to being, or attachment to nothing, isn't it all obsession? , No form is the body, and no abiding is the foundation, only then can enlightenment become a Buddha."

When Ji Bieyun heard the teachings of Buddhism, Ji Bieyun's already confused mind felt even more dull, he waved his hand to signal Guan Chen to stop.

"Okay master, don't you feel that you are very contradictory?" He turned his head and glanced at the monk, "In front of everyone, he is an eminent monk who practiced hard, but in front of me he has turned into a person rolling in the world of mortals."

Realizing that the hand holding him was grasping tightly, he softened his tone to coax people: "I mean, don't pretend to be enlightened and become a Buddha in front of me from now on. I don’t want to become a Buddha. Just be a person of flesh and blood, and I’ll keep it from you.”

The two stepped on the last step, and Ji Bieyun pulled his arm out.

"I'll just go back to my room, see you tomorrow."

Guanchen stared at him fixedly, his face was half-bright and half-dark in the lamplight.

"See you tomorrow." The monk added, "Have a good rest."

Ji Bieyun bid farewell to Guan Chen in a daze, returned to his room, fell headlong on the bed as if he had been drained of energy, and then fell into a coma and fell into a coma.

There was no dream all night, and when he woke up again, it was already bright outside.

Most of the tiredness on his body dissipated, and his mind became much clearer. Ji Bieyun stared blankly at the direction of the window, and recounted what happened in the past two days from beginning to end.

In the end, everything fell into the words Yushitai.

The task entrusted to him by Emperor Yuan Hui has already been realized, and now he only needs to find more powerful evidence.

Cai Han is still in a coma, life and death are uncertain; the letter was transcribed and not direct enough; Gu Shanyue refused to speak, and it is not known how much she knows about the inside story.

More clues are needed, something that can kill Yushitai with one blow.

Ji Bieyun got up and opened the window, looking around, there were still few people in the streets of Chongzhou.

The people here are undoubtedly the clearest about what the government is doing, but they are all hiding in their houses now, unwilling to come out, and unwilling to cooperate with them.

He thought about it, but he couldn't blame these people.The common people are unwilling to stand up for justice, simply because they dare not in the current environment, and most of the reason they dare not come out is because they will be targeted if they come out.

The governor of Chongzhou was able to hide the flood, but the rest of the country did so much evil.

Ji Bieyun had a headache, how could he gain the trust of the people in just a few days?It is not easy to rebuild the hearts of the people who have been destroyed by the Chongzhou government for several years.

When he went downstairs, he ran into Dai Fengmao who was going up to look for him.

"Boss, here is your letter."

Ji Bieyun had a bad feeling.This letter should be sent by Xu Yang. If there is a good thing, just wait for him to tell him face to face after he returns to Beijing. Only bad things can be sent from thousands of miles away.

He took it, opened it and took a quick glance.

Dai Fengmao couldn't hold back, and asked, "Is it related to the Chongzhou case?"

Ji Bieyun took out the fire notebook and burned the note.

"Yes, Cai Han didn't make it through, he died."

Let go of your hand, and the paper floated downstairs with sparks, and when it hit the ground, it had already turned into a mass of ashes.

The atmosphere was a bit heavy, Ji Bieyun turned to ask: "How is the interrogation going?"

"Dead man, you don't want to recruit anything." Dai Fengmao went downstairs with him, "Why don't you go to the place where the crime happened?"

Ji Bieyun hadn't been to the two houses that were exterminated, so he simply agreed.Before leaving, he glanced back at the second floor and saw that the door of the monk's room was closed, so he didn't bother.

A group of people hurried to the governor's private house, and they could see the scorched wall from a distance.

The houses and halls inside were all burnt down, only some pillars were still standing, and the rest became ruins.

"Have the corpses been moved? Will there still be pressure under the ruins?" Ji Bieyun asked.

Dai Fengmao shook his head, "I've checked, no, and the number of dead bodies matches. Don't go in, just look at the door, anyway, there are no clues inside."

They stood beside the screen wall, and the morning light came from the right, making the place even more lifeless.

The smell was not pleasant, and Ji Bieyun felt a tightness in his chest after only staying for a while.

Unwilling to give up, he asked again: "Has Chang Shi's mansion also been searched carefully?"

"I have searched, but the result is still the same. Once Yushitai takes action, all traces will be wiped out. They know how to find clues best, so they are also good at avoiding people's eyes and ears." Dai Fengmao resisted the lost tone, and turned Turning his neck, there was a cracking sound of joints.

Ji Bieyun thought about whether to ask the people by the Yuan River himself, but even if he did, it would probably be useless.

Gu Shanyue is so persistent... A little girl who didn't really commit a crime and has a miserable life experience, he can't do things like torture.

Do you really want to go back and report back with the specious evidence in your hand?

Will Emperor Yuanhui wantonly investigate Yushitai because of these evidences?

Ji Bieyun thought for a long time, then suddenly turned and walked out the door.

Dai Fengmao chased after him and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Go back to the posthouse," he said, "write the notice."

The author says:

"Never mind is the principle, no form is the body, and no abiding is the foundation" is quoted from the "Six Patriarchs' Altar Sutra". The four sentences "Bodhi has no tree" above quoted Master Huineng's gatha.Because it is not original, so mark and quote it here, there is no other bad meaning, dog head saves life
