Outside Lin Mansion, a carriage stops in the roadside. 林府外,一架马车停在路边。 Jiang Yuanchen takes sandal wood pleasant to open the curtain screen of glass, looks at Lin Mansion sky that pure white Qi pillar to size up quite a while together. Afterward said to Lin Zixuan: „Senior Brother, did you feel the suppression of this strength?” 姜元辰拿着一柄檀木如意将车窗的帘子挑开,望着林府上空那一道纯白气柱打量半响。随后才对林子轩道:“师兄,你感受到这股力量的压制了吗？” „A little, but to me still in enduring range.” Lin Zixuan also ponders: „Evidently, that strength is not Chen Nation king Qi.” “有一点,不过对我来说还在忍受范围内。”林子轩也沉思起来:“不过看样子,那股力量并不是陈国王气。” king Qi, gathers country Kingdom fate, but congealing air/Qi special destiny, will bless the royal government officials and royal families is violated by the outlet. However Supreme Emptiness Way Sect peripheral is many small countries stands in great numbers merely, even if country destiny condenses still not necessarily can resist Gold Core Cultivator, at the most is to Jiang Yuanchen and other Shedding Mortality realm some Way Cultivator hindrances. 王气,汇聚一国国运而凝气的特殊气运,也会庇佑朝廷官员以及王族不受外道侵害。不过太虚道宗周边仅仅是诸多小国林立,即便是一国气运凝聚也不见得能够对抗一位金丹修士,顶天就是对姜元辰等蜕凡境界的修道者有些妨碍罢了。 Supreme Emptiness Way Sect enlightens Spirit Province, deliberately split up many small countries, from also has its intention, does not hope that powerful dynasty interferes with Way Sect. 太虚道宗教化灵州,刻意分化了诸多小国,自也有其用意,不希望一个强大的王朝干涉道宗。 Puts down the curtain screen, Jiang Yuanchen turns head saying: „It is not king Qi, but seems like connotation Baleful Qi imposing Righteous Qi, probably also a little Divine Way shadow.” 将帘子放下,姜元辰扭头道:“不是王气,但似乎是一种内涵煞气的凛然正气,其中好像还有一点神道的影子。” Compared with has walked Immortal Way Lin Zixuan, Jiang Yuanchen crammed ferociously during that time to Divine Way in Gold Sand Creek, in addition afterward the influence and nape of the neck of above black jade necklace Mountains and Rivers Seal, he was quite sensitive to the Divine Way strength. 比起一直行走仙道的林子轩,姜元辰在金沙溪那一段时间对神道可是恶补了一番,加上后来山河印的影响以及脖颈上面的墨玉项链,他对神道力量颇为敏感。 „Constable Wang, and delivers my two people paying respects invitation.” “王捕头,且把我二人的拜帖送上去吧。” Constable Wang in out of the door control carriage, listened to the Jiang Yuanchen words, immediately jumps down the carriage to hit paying respects invitation of Chen Monastery Master name to send to Lin Mansion. 王捕头在门外驾驭马车,听了姜元辰的话,立刻跳下马车将打着陈观主名义的拜帖送去林府。 „Righteous Qi? In other words, didn't Junior Brother still think is in Lin Mansion the hand under person?” Lin Zixuan selects the eyebrow: „According to the situation that the government authorities investigate, these dead before one's death once and in Lin Mansion the person had some relations.” “正气？也就是说,师弟仍然不认为是林府中人下的手？”林子轩一挑眉:“根据官府调查的情况,这些死者在生前都和林府中人有一些联系。” Does not wait for Lin Zixuan then to speak, Jiang Yuanchen continued: „Buried alive that antique merchant and Lin Mansion have some transaction communications is not fake, but has not actually detected both's conflicts of interest. By that woman of being drown to death, although has with Lin Second Young Master ** rumor, but Lin Second Young Master always remains pure and incorruptible, as if also merely is the rumor. As for was sheared the matchmaker of tongue, discusses marriage to Miss Lin Mansion by Lin Mansion is rejected, then disseminates Miss Lin Mansion outside recklessly is not, the shame person is pure. Then was broken the arm, but the bludger of death, once stole a Lady Lin jade hairpin......” 不等林子轩接着说话,姜元辰就把话头接过:“被活埋的那一个古董商人和林府有一些交易来往不假,但却没有发觉两者的利益冲突。被淹死的那个妇女虽然和林二公子有一些**传言,但林二公子一向洁身自好,似乎也仅仅是谣言。至于被割了舌头的媒婆,是替人给林府小姐提亲被林府拒绝,然后在外面肆意传播林府小姐的不是,辱人清白。那被断臂而死的混混,曾经偷了林夫人的一支玉簪……” Numerous, digs up to lag behind in Jiang Yuanchen, almost all dead and Lin Mansion had some relations. prefecture office Sir Zhang also sees this situation, will suspect Lin Mansion. But has scruples Old Master Lin is a returning home old minister, does not dare causes difficulties for others without evidence directly. 林林总总,在姜元辰一扒拉下,几乎所有死者都和林府有一些关系了。府衙张大人也正是看到这一种情况,才会怀疑林府。但顾忌林老爷乃是一位还乡老臣,不敢在没有证据的情况下直接拿人。 „But, person who since dies from the beginning in prison. Then from the beginning, Senior Brother Constable Wang and the others the directions were or wrong. You have thought are the revenged kills, how not to have thought that is these person of punishment is deserved?” “但,既然一开始死的人是在大牢中。那么从一开始,师兄或者说王捕头等人的方向就错了。你们一直认为是仇杀,怎么就没想到是这些人罪有应得呢？” „Punishment is deserved? Junior Brother also thinks that the person of murder is the just side is inadequate?” “罪有应得？师弟还认为杀人之人乃是正义一方不成？” „Merely is a guess, but arrives at Lin Mansion time should prove the guess of little brother. The slayer thinks that should be-!” “原本仅仅是一个猜测,但来到林府的时候已经应证了小弟的猜测。那杀人者想必应该是-！” Suddenly, the Lin Mansion front door opens wide, Lin Yuanzhao has family to come out to greet the honored guest. 忽然,林府大门洞开,林远昭带着一家老小出来迎接贵客。 Jiang Yuanchen and Lin Zixuan two people looked at the Lin Mansion coming out person, got down in the carriage and Lin Mansion in abundance the person pays a visit mutually. 姜元辰和林子轩二人看林府出来人了,也纷纷下了马车和林府中人相互拜见。 Lin Mansion one is the person is exuberant, the Lin Yuanzhao only first wife madame, couple two people affection very sincere, breeds two sons and one daughter. The eldest son 30 years old, has found a wife to give birth to continue the incense and candle, is his son also has 7 or 8-year-old big. But the second son and youngest daughter are one pair in old age the child twin, now still sixteen year old girl. 林府一家还算是人丁旺盛,林远昭仅有一个原配夫人,夫妻二人感情甚笃,孕育二子一女。长子已三十岁有余,早已娶妻生子延续香火,就是他的儿子也有七八岁大。但次子和小女儿乃是一对老来得子的双胞胎,如今尚不过二八年华。 After with several people of one after another see, Jiang Yuanchen two people with Lin Yuanzhao went to the hall. 和几人一一见过后,姜元辰二人就跟着林远昭去了大厅。 „Now the lunar new year's season, my two people will present the life of Monastery Master to send sandal wood to be pleasant, is returns Sir Lin this year to looking after of our Supreme Emptiness Way Sect.” Jiang Yuanchen pulled out a sandalwood to be pleasant from the sleeve, gave nearby servant. “如今年节将至,我二人奉观主之命送来一柄檀木如意,也算是回报林大人今年对我们太虚道宗的照拂。”姜元辰从袖中掏出来一柄紫檀木如意,交给了一旁的仆人。 „Where and where, Old Me in the capital city receive Sir Nation Preceptor to direct the technique of long life keeping in good health frequently, is always on good terms with Supreme Emptiness Way Sect lineage/vein. Now resigning on account of age and returning to one's home place naturally must many look after to here Supreme Emptiness Way Monastery is.” Lin Yuanzhao received pleasant from the servant hand, immediately then the freshness flow the whole body, these days worry also dissipation most. “哪里、哪里,在都城的时候老夫就常常受国师大人指点延寿养生之术,和太虚道宗一脉向来交好。如今告老还乡自然也要对这里的太虚道观多加照顾才是。”林远昭从仆人手中接过如意,顿时便有一股清爽感流遍全身,这些天的烦恼随之消散大半。 Lin Yuanzhao worship the Way, sole these past years makes Chen Monastery Master happy to the incense and candle money that Supreme Emptiness Way Monastery puts, if this old master and this homicide case have not related, Chen Monastery Master does not hope oneself were short of such a super client. When Jiang Yuanchen begs his calling card, Chen Monastery Master holds Jiang Yuanchen to send a wooden pleasant thanks Lin Yuanzhao this year looking, also to Jiang Yuanchen and the others by head. 林远昭崇道,单单这一年来对太虚道观投入的香火钱就让陈观主乐得不行,所以如果这位老大人和这一次命案没关系的话,陈观主也不希望自己少了这么一个大客户。在姜元辰讨要他的名帖时,陈观主托姜元辰送来一柄木如意算是答谢林远昭这一年的照拂,也是给姜元辰等人一个由头。 Afterward, Jiang Yuanchen again and again modest, Lin Yuanzhao is also a flattery, two people said the period of time polite speech still had not entered the subject. Instead is north four arts, geography folk customs and other topic day of Southern Sea chatting must. 随后,姜元辰连连谦虚,林远昭也是句句奉承,两人说了一阵子场面话仍然不曾进入正题。反而是就着琴棋书画、地理民俗等话题天南海北的聊得起来。 As for person all around, Lady Lin and Young Lady Lin not good long to keep outside the room, then found an excuse the backyard. Two Young Master forest looked that the words of one's home father Sir discussed the problem to violate, gave a pretext to respond the family property, a excuse returned to the room to study, left this place. The great hall only has Lin Yuanzhao this head of household, as well as Jiang Yuanchen and Lin Zixuan two people, is Constable Wang the disguise groom in front of Lin Mansion is also waiting. 至于周遭的人,林夫人和林小姐到底不好长留外室,便借故回了后院。两位林公子看自家父亲大人的话唠毛病又犯了,一个借口去搭理家业,一个借口回房读书,都离开了此地。大堂只剩下林远昭这位家主,以及姜元辰和林子轩二人,就是王捕头也在林府门前乔装马夫候着。 Training of Supreme Emptiness Way Sect to one's home Outer Sect disciple regards as important, the disciple who teaches very much do not miss compared with these common custom expensive/noble family of high status gates, its knowledge vision is higher than these limits place mortals in country merely. 太虚道宗对自家外门弟子的培养很看重,教出来的弟子也不比那些世俗贵族望门要差,其学识眼界更是高于这些仅仅局限于一国之地的凡人们。 Although Lin Yuanzhao is known as is well-read, when the Chen Nation capital city even Nation King must often consult, is skilled in two provinces, Spirit and Wing local conditions and social customs. But if concerns the books collection and knowledge background, there is where and on Supreme Emptiness Way Sect this Spirit Province overlord? 林远昭虽然号称博览群书,在陈国都城的时候连国主都要时常请教,精通灵、翼二州的风土人情。但若论及书籍珍藏、学识底蕴,又有何处及得上太虚道宗这位灵州霸主？ Lin Yuanzhao gave Jiang Yuanchen to add one cup of tea, Jiang Yuanchen said with a smile: „Said, Scholar Lin here building seems not a Southern Chen department beautiful exquisite, instead has the rough atmosphere of place of Northern Wing. It seems like, does the scholar like Wing Province that side culture very much?” 林远昭又给姜元辰添了一杯茶,姜元辰笑道:“说起来,林居士这边的房屋建筑似乎也不是南陈一系的秀丽小巧,反而有着翼北之地的粗犷大气。看起来,居士很喜欢翼州那边的文化？” „Grandfather once was the person of Wing Province, because that side Wing Province the chaos caused by war, moved to south Spirit Province year to year.” “家祖曾经是翼州之人,不过因为翼州那边常年战乱,才搬到了灵州南部。” „En, that side the Wing Province 16 country situations indeed compared to our Spirit Province to be more chaotic. Besides 16 countries exist forever reluctantly, other small countries are in a precarious state are actually not the places of long occupying.” Jiang Yuanchen is somewhat sigh with emotion. “嗯,翼州十六国那边的情况的确比起我们灵州要混乱多了。除了十六国勉强长存外,其他小国朝不保夕却不是久居之地。”姜元辰有些感慨。 „Many of Dao Priest Jiang to each region local conditions really knowledge.” Lin Yuanzhao at present one bright, two people start the national conditions and Spirit Province in Wing Province 16 countries' contrast mutually. Was saying to be saying, starts to mention former years Supreme Emptiness Way Sect to unite the strength of all nations to attack that war of Wing Province 16 countries'. Only pitifully finally, because a Nation corrupt merit advanced recklessly planning, making Supreme Emptiness Way Sect enlighten the Wing Province goal to be solved. “姜道长对各地风土果然知之甚多。”林远昭眼前一亮,两人又开始就着翼州十六国的国情和灵州相互对比。说着说着,又开始说起昔年太虚道宗联合诸国之力攻伐翼州十六国的那一次大战。只可惜最后,因为一个国家贪功冒进中了算计,让太虚道宗教化翼州的目的就此告破。 After the Lin Mansion servant Jiang Yuanchen added the tea, arrives at Lin Zixuan. However Lin Zixuan the anti- Jiang Yuanchen two people topic, did not wave to make him get down. 林府仆人给姜元辰添了茶水后,又来到林子轩这边。不过林子轩本就不耐姜元辰二人的话题,挥挥手就让他下去了。 In Supreme Emptiness Way Sect Inner Sect many are the Immortal Cultivation ancient book, however saved the secular world books of dozens storehouses in Outer Sect, don't said that Spirit Province and Wing Province, are Central Province and Cloud Province that side situation have the record. From the ancient legend, gets down to the marketplace chat, can seek in the Supreme Emptiness Way Sect book stacks. However Lin Zixuan obviously is that wholeheartedly group of people that cultivate, reads the mixed book the custom to be entirely different from Jiang Yuanchen frequently. 太虚道宗内门中多是修仙典籍,但是在外门中可是存了好几十库的凡间书籍,莫说灵州、翼州、就是中州、云州那边的情况也多有记录。上至古老传说,下到市井杂谈,在太虚道宗的书库中都可以寻到。不过林子轩明显是那种一心修行之辈,和姜元辰经常翻看杂书的习惯大不相同。 Also passed the tea time, Lin Zixuan sees two people also to continue to discuss, coughs lightly: „Two, the modesty stops. Few days ago prefecture office Sir Zhang asked Scholar Lin family to be a guest, does not know how Scholar Lin did see?” 又过了盏茶功夫,林子轩见二人还要继续讨论,就轻咳一声:“二位,客气话到此为止吧。前些日子府衙的张大人请林居士一家老小去做客,不知道林居士怎么看？” Lin Yuanzhao has passed the 60-year old, sways back and forth for dozens years in the mortal world government, from is also a worldly person. Lin Zixuan just opened the topic, in his eye none twinkle, immediately clear two people purpose in coming: „Two do little dao priest also in these homicide cases for the city come?” 林远昭已过花甲之年,在红尘官场打滚数十载,自也是一个人精。林子轩刚刚将话题挑开,他眼中精光闪烁,顿时明白二人的来意:“两位小道长也是为了城中那些命案来的？” On field some awkward silences. 场上有些冷场。 „The fifth homicide case happened, isn't scholar family a guest that side Sir Zhang? Some Sir Zhang testified for the scholar personally, why not did the scholar have feels relieved?” Jiang Yuanchen said with a smile: „Moreover outside the mansion these disguise bailiffs think that is also hard to hide the truth from the eyes of old master? For serveral days, the old master deliberately avoided suspicion restrains the one's home family members not to go out generally, in the heart also understood several points?” “第五起命案发生的时候,居士一家老小不是正在张大人那边做客吗？有张大人亲自为居士作证,居士还有何不放心的？”姜元辰笑道:“而且府外那些乔装捕快想必也难以瞒过老大人的眼睛吧？这些天,老大人刻意避嫌一般约束自家老小不曾外出,想必心中也明白几分吧？” „Zhang Zheng that fellow has scruples Old Me in these disciple personal connections of royal government, has scruples position of Old Me in your majesty mind, therefore can only ask the person of Way Sect to interfere?” Lin Yuanzhao exposes to the sun however said: „Two, this matter does not have with my Lin Mansion relations. clear purified oneself, since Way Sect must check that then also me purely and other.” “张铮那家伙顾忌老夫在朝廷的那些门生人脉,顾忌老夫在陛下心目中的地位,所以只能请道宗之人来干涉了？”林远昭晒然道:“两位,此事跟我林府可谓一点关系也没有。清者自清,既然道宗要来查那便还我等一个清白吧。” „Good, my family's Chen Monastery Master is also this intent. Chen Monastery Master common saying „ scholar and say/way are predestined friends, relates significantly with my Supreme Emptiness Way Sect”. This time asked my fellow brothers two people to investigate thoroughly specially, but also scholar justice. ” “不错,我家陈观主也是此意。陈观主常言“居士与道有缘,和我太虚道宗关系匪浅”。这次特意请我师兄弟二人来查个清楚,还居士一家一个公道。” Lin Yuanzhao sways back and forth in the government, the skill of watching a person's every mood was full. Looks at Jiang Yuanchen and Lin Zixuan appearance manner, was dark also finds out the ideas of these two dao priest. Lin Zixuan and Constable Wang and the others were ordinary, thinks that Lin Mansion has being able to withdraw responsibility, in the foreheads is quite desolate to Lin Yuanzhao. But Jiang Yuanchen does not approve obviously, thinks that Lin Mansion pure, he attitude to Lin Mansion is actually benign many. 林远昭在官场打滚,察言观色的技能可是点满了。看着姜元辰和林子轩的模样神态,暗里也摸清这两位道长的想法了。林子轩和王捕头等人一般,都认为林府这边有着脱不开的干系,眉宇之间对林远昭颇为冷淡。而姜元辰显然不怎么苟同,认为林府这边清清白白,他对林府这边态度却是和颜悦色不少。 Lin Yuanzhao wants, said: „Old Me also sent people to inquire outside these homicide cases, many are the generations of some of my Lin Mansion disputes, therefore Old Me restrained in the family servant the mansion for serveral days, entrance these bailiffs should also know that is.” 林远昭想罢,又道:“老夫也曾经派人打听过外面发生的那些命案,多是和我林府有些纠葛之辈,故而老夫这些天将家眷仆人约束府中,想必门口那些捕快也都应该知道才是。” „Therefore, Constable Wang and the others think that in Lin Mansion has the secretly thought to exist, or is the scholar hires the person to commit murder outside.” Opens out the tea froth, Jiang Yuanchen leisurely and carefree say/way. “所以,王捕头等人认为林府之中有暗道存在,或者说是居士在外雇人行凶。”将茶沫拨开,姜元辰悠闲道。 „Absurd! Simply is the utter nonsense! My Lin Mansion is sets up a government office for several years, where has what secretly thought to exist? Moreover the illicit intercourse secretly thought in the city, how could it not be to have the suspicion of plotting a rebellion? Goes out to hire the person, manpower and resources all sorts of arrangement that 12 cases need, do not have a lot of money, manpower and meticulous care, but cannot become. Is it possible that is a Zhang Zheng that guy problem Old Me plotting a rebellion charge inadequate?” “荒谬！简直是一派胡言！我林府不过是开府数载,哪里有什么暗道存在？而且在城中私通暗道,岂非有谋反之嫌疑？还有外出雇人,就那十二桩案子所需要的人力物力种种布置,没有大量金钱、人力、心血而不可成。莫非张铮那厮还想定老夫一个谋反罪名不成？” 12 homicide cases? The Lin Zixuan eye hides jumps, this fellow does not know that firm that three deliberately do disguise? 十二桩命案？林子轩眼皮子一跳,这家伙不知道牢中那三桩还是刻意假装？ „poor daoist also thinks, not speaking too far, and said that the boss in that antique shop, can in a short time bury alive him, was discovered when did not have a wee bit soils, even being killed is unascertainable now, was not the average person can achieve” sips a tea, Jiang Yuanchen continued saying: „Because this matter strange, in addition the lunar new year's season is near, this matter has also alarmed this Land God division place. However that Land God traces the trail personally, actually also halts in Lin Mansion.” “贫道也是这么想,远的不说,且说那位古董铺的老板,能够在极短的时间内将他活埋,然后被发现之时身上还没有一丁点的泥土,甚至如今连被害现场都不能确定,可不是一般人能够做到呢”抿了口茶,姜元辰继续道:“因为此事怪异非常,加上年节将近,此事也已经惊动本地神司地。不过那位地神亲自追查踪迹,却也止步于林府。” Lin Yuanzhao after all was an once country high-ranking court official, naturally understood the meaning in Jiang Yuanchen words. Since holds that side the god division, then no longer has the leeway that the mortal meddles. 林远昭毕竟是曾经的一国重臣,自然明白姜元辰话里的意思。既然已经捅到了神司那边,那么就已经不再有凡人插手的余地了。 Tea on table knocked down, Lin Yuanzhao hurries saying: „dao priest, under my entire your family place no one cultivation does Way Technique, how possibly therefore alarm Exalted God?” 桌上的茶盏被打落,林远昭慌忙道:“道长,我全府上下没有一人修行道术,怎可能因此而惊动尊神？” „Indeed, saw your families just now, truly inadequate Way cultivation. But my fellow brothers two people obviously felt this place has an inexplicable strength to exist, this hides the truth from any cultivation absolutely the person!” Lin Zixuan sets out, sincere say/way: „Heard Scholar Lin former years once to admire Immortal Way, once went to the Nation Preceptor mansion to seek for advice Immortal technique repeatedly?” Immortal Magic Power fluctuates from Lin Zixuan side sending out, spies on the entire Lin Mansion sound. “的确,适才见了你那些家眷,一个个确实都不成修道。但我师兄弟二人明显感觉到此地有一股莫名力量存在,此绝对瞒不过任何一位修行中人！”林子轩起身,正色道:“听闻林居士昔年曾经思慕仙道,曾经多次去国师府求教仙术？”一股仙家法力波动从林子轩身边散发而出,窥探整个林府的动静。 Waited for a while, could not see that on Lin Yuanzhao has what immortal way method strength to fluctuate, Jiang Yuanchen acts to drink Lin Zixuan. 等了一会儿,看不到林远昭身上有什么仙道法力波动,姜元辰就出面将林子轩喝住。 „Senior Brother, sufficed.” Since Lin Zixuan came out to play the role of the black face, Jiang Yuanchen naturally must match the chorus red painted-face. “师兄,够了。”林子轩既然出来扮了黑脸,姜元辰自然也要配合唱红脸了。 „Scholar, does not know that what unusual circumstance Lin Mansion did have for serveral days, the event of what deceased person or does this place have?” “居士,不知道林府这些天有没有什么异常情况,或者说此地有什么死人的事件没有？” „This......” Lin Yuanzhao recollection for a long time: „My Lin Mansion family tradition is stern, pours also the it's nothing unusual circumstance to appear. Moreover my family's treats the servant, in addition is good, does not have the situation that the servant died.” “这……”林远昭回想许久:“我林府家风森严,倒也没什么异常情况出现。而且我家待下人尚且不错,也没有奴仆身亡的情况。” Lin Yuanzhao thinks many, thinks Jiang Yuanchen is implied their family/home personal character has to owe, therefore some people frame their family/home. 林远昭想得太多,自认为姜元辰是暗指他们家私德有亏故而有人陷害他们家。 Shakes the head, Jiang Yuanchen said: „Ok, opened wide says. poor daoist thinks that this matter impersonal force may, is handles affairs by the ghost, but that ghost and Lin Mansion have the origin greatly, decides however hides in Lin Mansion, does not know whether my two people does collect in Lin Mansion?” 摇摇头,姜元辰说:“算了,敞开说吧。贫道认为此事非人力可为,乃是由鬼怪行事,而那鬼怪和林府大有渊源,定然是潜藏在林府之中,不知道我二人可否在林府搜罗一番？”
