Xuanyuan Jue

Chapter 200: The Godly Front Holds the Victory (1)
The cool night listens to the bleakness, and the waning moon reflects the solitary lamp.The pearl sinks to the sand, and the sorrow is heartbroken.The owl mourns the wood, and the jackdaw pecks at the cold moss.Yulan is still there today, and you can see the soul in the water.

When the lanterns come on, they are dotted with gleams, hanging under the corridors of various halls, like stars shining brightly.On the other hand, all the palaces on the South China Sea Island were dimly lit and deserted.

The long causeway stone bridge leading to the island, reflected by the pool water, emits a faint blue light, just like a gloomy way of death.

As soon as he stepped onto the bridge, Feng Shen couldn't help shivering.Unlike the Yiluan Hall, which is as warm as spring, everything here seems to be cold.

For some reason, Feng Shen suddenly felt uneasy, took a few deep breaths, and quickened his pace.At the end of the bridge embankment, the gate is called Renyao. Behind the gate, the brick platform folds the road, which stretches obliquely and high, and reaches the seven couplets of Guangge. It is Xiangluan Xiangfeng.

Fang Zhi Xiangluan, four guards with knives suddenly surrounded by secret sentries on both sides. "Stop! What are you doing?"

Feng Shen hurriedly said: "My servant, Feng Shen, come here to find someone."

"Presumptuous!" the guard yelled, "You have the guts of a bear and a leopard, dare to come here to find someone?"

Hearing the guard's rude words, Feng Shen was secretly angry. "I have the Dai Tianxun Hunting card, I wonder if some of you can make it easier?"

"On behalf of Tianxun Hunting Card?" The guards were stunned, and then said, "It turns out that you were the one who entered the palace to investigate the case!"

Feng Shen said: "Exactly, if you know it, let's get out of the way!"

Unexpectedly, the guards didn't move, they all sneered and said, "Hmph, I'm so sorry, your brand can be used anywhere else, hehe, but it doesn't work well here. !"

Feng Shenqi asked: "Why?"

"What are you talking about?" The guards pulled out their waist knives and threatened Feng Shen together, "Come on, don't make fun of yourself!"

Seeing that the guards were secretive, Feng Shen became more and more suspicious.He pretended to be obedient, and bowed to the four guards. "You don't need to get angry, I don't dare to disturb you, just leave now."

"That's about the same! Hurry up!" The guards sheathed their knives and turned around to send back their whistle.

Feng Shen was caught off guard, and suddenly rushed behind the two people on the left, squeezed their hands together, and knocked their heads together.After the collision, the two fainted immediately.

Before the two people on the right could react, Feng Shen threw his fist and kicked again, hitting each other's ribs and kicking this one's kidney eye.While he was bending over to cover his belly, Fu Shi quickly slashed two palms on the back of their necks.

In the blink of an eye, the four guards all collapsed on the ground, and they don't know what happened.Feng Shen didn't do anything else, pulled off their belts, bound their bodies, gagged, and dragged them to a secret place to hide.

After hiding the four of them, Feng Shen brushed off the dust on his clothes. "Offended, there is only one day left for Feng to investigate the case, it is really a last resort!"

After dismissing the guards, Feng Shen jumped into the pavilion.Looking down from the Baoyue Tower earlier, Feng Shen thought that the defense must be tight when he saw that there were many buildings here.Unexpectedly, after watching for a while, he realized that everything was quiet, like an empty courtyard.

Even so, Feng Shen didn't dare to barge in. He just leaned against the wall and extended the building, and slowly probed inside.

After Xiangluan Pavilion, there is a main palace and auxiliary hall built on the slope, with long corridors surrounded by arches and many towers.As far as the eye can see, the main hall and side halls are all pitch-black, only a faint candlelight can be seen in the side rooms at the corners of the hall.

Feng Shen didn't know anything about this place, but he didn't have time to think about it, so he groped towards the light again.Coming under the window, Feng Shen held his breath, wet his fingertips, and gently poked a small hole in the window paper.

Through the hole, Feng Shen found that there was only one prison guard in the room, so he calmed down and knocked on the door.

Hearing someone knock on the door, there was a "huh" in the room, and then a high-pitched voice came out: "Is it Sister Ye?"

"She is indeed here!" Feng Shen secretly pleased, but did not answer.

After a while, the door opened, and the little eunuch showed his head.Seeing a strange man standing outside, the little eunuch couldn't stop talking. "You... who are you? There are guards outside, you... how did you get in?"

Feng Shen said with a smile: "I have a token issued by the Queen Mother, and the guards will naturally let me go."

The little eunuch breathed a sigh of relief, "That's right, there is only one way to go to the island, and idlers can't pass the guards... Eh? My lord, you haven't said who you are yet..."

Feng Shen pretended to be mysterious, "Why, don't you recognize me?"

The little eunuch was taken aback for a moment, and said: "My lord, please forgive me for my clumsy eyes..."

"Forget it," Feng Shen waved his hand, "You don't know me, you know Ye He, right?"

"I recognize it," the little eunuch nodded quickly, "I heard the knock on the door just now, and I thought it was her."

Feng Shen said: "Then where is she now?"

The little eunuch said: "According to this schedule, I should go back to Shufangrun and rest."

"Shu Fangrun?" Feng Shen asked, "How about Shu Fangrun?"

The little eunuch pointed and said: "Go south from here, pass Qisi Tower and go west, pass Changchun Bookstore, and you will be Shufangrun where Sister Ye lives."

Feng Shen nodded, and blurted out: "By the way, who is the owner of these Hanyuan halls? How can they be so quiet?"

The little eunuch suddenly became alert, "Who is the master here...don't your lord know?"

Feng Shen knew that he had made a slip of the tongue and forced himself to remain calm. "Joke, how could I not know?"

The little eunuch rolled his eyes and said with a sly smile: "Yes, your lord knows about this empress's other courtyard."

Feng Shen repeatedly said yes, but thought to himself: "It turns out that this is another courtyard, no wonder it's so deserted. But it's also good, so that you don't have to wait and see!"

The little eunuch said again: "Hey, it's time to watch the night. Your Excellency, do as you please. I'll go to the front for a walk first!"

Before Feng Shen could respond, the little eunuch ran away.With sharp eyes and quick hands, Feng Shen jumped with all his strength and knocked him to the ground.These few strokes were like rabbits rising and falling, before the little eunuch could say "there is an assassin", he felt his eyes darkened and was knocked unconscious by Feng Shen.

According to the method of dealing with the guards in front of the pavilion, Feng Shen did the same to the little eunuch, dragged him back to the house, and blew out the candles on the table.It's just that Feng Shen couldn't figure it out, where did he show his flaws, which made the little eunuch suspicious?
However, he was in a dangerous place, so it was inconvenient to think carefully, following the direction pointed out by the little eunuch, Feng Shen found the Shu Fangrun room without much trouble.

As soon as she stepped up the steps, Shu Fangrun's door opened with a "squeak", and a person walked out, it was the court lady Ye He that Feng Shen was looking for.

Ye He was taken aback by the fact that someone was outside. "Ah! Feng...Feng Zhangjing? Why... are you here?"

Feng Shen folded his hands and said coldly, "It's so late, where is Miss Ye going?"

Ye He hesitated for a while, and said falteringly: "I...I want to go to Shuqing Court again...Feng Zhangjing, I thought about it, I must find that golden hairpin..."

Feng Shen snorted, "Right now I can't see my fingers, Miss Ye is going to Shuqing Court alone, isn't she afraid that the ghost of Concubine Zhenxi will come out again?"

Ye He Lili said: "Of course I'm afraid...but I'm even more afraid that what happened to Mr. Zhang...Feng Zhangjing will make me an accomplice..."

"Accomplice? Hahaha... How can I designate Miss Ye as an accomplice?" Feng Shen looked up to the sky and smiled, his eyes narrowed. "Miss Ye, you... are clearly the real murderer!"

"Ah?" Ye He trembled all over, and staggered back two steps. "Feng...Feng Zhangjing, what did you say? I...I am the real murderer? Feng Zhangjing, did Mr. Zhang bribe you with money...you want to use me as a scapegoat..."

"Miss Ye!" Feng Shen shouted, "I advise you, don't pretend to be so cute and pitiful! You have confused me many times before, don't you just want me to transfer my suspicion to Xiao Dezhang? But you also Seriously, using a few half-truths and half-false words, avoiding the important and neglecting the trivial, has attracted me to waste a whole day's time limit!"

Ye He cried: "Feng Zhangjing, you have wronged me... It is because you are afraid that you will not be able to solve the case within the time limit, so you want to arrest me for a job... Anyway, I am a foolish girl, I can't fight against you villains!"

"Hmph!" Feng Shen sneered, "At this point, Miss Ye still has to act! If my guess is true, it is true that Xiao Dezhang gave you the golden hairpin. But that golden hairpin was not lost at all. When we met for the first time, you knew that I came to investigate the case, but you pretended to be sneaky, and lied to Xiao Dezhang that you left the hairpin in Shuqing Court. At that time, you seemed to avoid it intentionally, but there were a few key words Son, but you specifically raised your voice, the reason you did this is nothing more than to arouse my vigilance."

Ye He said: "If I'm the real murderer, it's too late to hide from you, how could I deliberately attract your attention?"

"This is Miss Ye's brilliance!" Feng Shen said, "If you play an idiot in front of Xiao De Zhang, he will naturally not expect anything from you except to scold you. But Xiao De Zhang has always been cautious, Afraid that it would really implicate me, so I took advantage of the night to find the 'lost' golden hairpin. Because of Miss Ye's previous 'reminder', I will inevitably go to Shuqing courtyard to guard, so First, if you happen to bump into Xiao Dezhang, then his suspicion will be even heavier."

Ye He said anxiously: "Feng Zhangjing, you also said that these are all your own guesses! Besides, when I first met you, I thought you were the new father-in-law, so how could..."

"Forget it!" Feng Shen waved his hand and said, "Miss Ye, that's exactly where you're self-defeating! At first, I didn't pay attention to it, but after someone reminded me, I realized there was a big problem!"

Ye He said: "This is in the palace, and it is impossible for men from outside to come and go. I will recognize you as an eunuch, so what's the problem?"
