Chapter 219 The Burned Clue
The tea room and the West Guest House are not places that ordinary monks can get close to.

At the beginning of the establishment of Donglin Temple, dignitaries and dignitaries often practiced meditation here with the masters, for as long as half a month and as short as three or two days.Because most of these people settled down in Xikeshe, the yard of Xikeshe became bigger and bigger, and there were more and more furnishings and rooms inside.

Afterwards, Donglin Temple opened a new teahouse in a secluded place in the south of the temple, specially for those noble people who went up to the mountain to discuss Buddhism, but did not stay overnight.

These places do not look more magnificent than other places, and even look more simple, but there are many artifacts left by the nobles so that they can be used at any time when they come here, and they all have some powerful origins.

For example, in the Jianxi Dynasty, a young novice who was cleaning the West Guest House accidentally broke a clay cup that looked ugly while working.Taking advantage of going down the mountain the next day, the little novice found a pottery cup that looked similar in the market, and reassembled it.But not long after, when the nobleman came, he saw at a glance that his cup had been changed, and immediately lost his temper.

According to the nobleman, he bought the cup after many twists and turns, and it was a sacred object used by the eminent monk Jianzhen four to five hundred years ago when he was traveling and preaching.Only then did everyone realize what was important.

Since then, the young novice monks in the temple have not been allowed to do such chores any more, but because many nobles like these young and innocent children, the temple arranged for them to chant sutras in the morning.

Now that there is a fire in the temple, the morning recitations of the young monks have been cancelled, and there is no one around the tea room, only the monks who occasionally pass by with burned stones and wooden stakes. Zeng Jiuyan walked in front and led his companions behind avoided.

"Look." Zhang Jingzhen's eyes were sharp, and he pointed his finger not far away, "It's the imperial guards in the palace."

Zeng Jiuyan looked up and saw on a high platform not far away, two imperial guards were guarding the door of the teahouse courtyard, pacing back and forth, watching out for movements in this side—as expected they were here!
"How about it, am I right—" Zeng Jiuyan turned his head and was about to speak to Shizi, but found that there was no one behind him.

"Eh?" Zeng Jiuyan grabbed Zhang Jingzhen who was still looking towards the tea room on tiptoe, "Where is Chen Yicong?"

"Didn't he just follow—"

Zhang Jingzhen turned around, only to realize that only he and Zeng Jiuyan were left here, and the son disappeared at some point.

The two of them thumped in their hearts.

Now something big is going on...

The son is lost!

……

In the West Guest House, Bai Ling and Bai Yi watched from afar the two crying children lying on their bodies in the courtyard of the West Guest House.

Bo Ling was about to go up to talk to him, but suddenly Bai Yi grabbed his arm.

"Shh." Bai Yi looked ahead vigilantly, leading Bo Ling back into the shadows.

Almost at the next moment, a Jin Yiwei in a flying fish suit leaned over from behind the ruined brick wall of the West Guest House, "Master Han, we have already seen everything here."

"Um."

Outside the field of vision, a deep and cold voice came, and the moment he heard it, Bo Ling opened his eyes wide-the voice was too recognizable.

Although there was only one sound, there was no doubt that this person was Han Chong.

These brocade guards have been guarding the courtyard, but they didn't make a sound.

"We found a total of eleven fire points." Another Jin Yiwei replied, "So this can't be an accident, it must be arson."

"Show me." Han Chong replied.

Jin Yiwei led Han Chong, and first pointed out several wedge-shaped smoke marks outside the courtyard.

"When we are looking for a fire, we will first look at the traces of smoke, like here." The voice of Jin Yiwei was low and fast, and he pointed to the wedge-shaped fire trace, "When the fire is burning, the flame will first Rush upwards, and then spread to both sides until it reaches the eaves—" The Jin Yiwei pointed to the almost non-existent roof, "and then expand horizontally."

"En." Han Chong listened to him, his eyes closely following the movements of his subordinates.

"So generally the lowest point of a wedge-shaped fire mark like this can be preliminarily judged as a fire point." Jin Yiwei said solemnly, "And there are some ashes of firewood here, basically there is nothing wrong with it. A place like this , A total of five outhouses of the West Guest House were found."

"What about in the house?" Han Chong asked in a low voice.

"There are still several pot-shaped carbonized areas in the house, and there are even traces of arson on the beams." Jin Yiwei replied, "With such dense fire points inside and outside the house, the arsonists must have planned to destroy them in the shortest possible time. Drop everything in here - and he did, as a matter of fact."

"No other leads?"

Jin Yiwei shook his head, "Everything in the room was burnt to charcoal, and we can only guess what it is based on the outline."

Han Chong raised his chin, signaling his subordinates to lead the way, and he wanted to go in and have a look.

The man was a little bit troubled, "Master Han, you better not go in, this room may collapse at any time."

Han Chong was unmoved, but said with deep eyes, "Lead the way."

After Han Chong and his party bent down and got into the house from under the half-folded beam, Bai Ling, who had been standing in the shadow, could see clearly that there were only three Jinyiwei who came.

——No wonder there is no one guarding the side door here, and it is empty everywhere, not at all like Jin Yiwei's usual style.Thinking of this, Bo Ling suddenly realized that Han Chong probably didn't get a formal transfer order this time, but he came here himself out of curiosity.

She couldn't help narrowing her eyes. This time, the news that Fourteen didn't come with her, she didn't mention it to anyone.

So, did Han Chong come here for the fire, or for the fourteenth?She glanced in the direction of the two little novice monks with some concern—she still wanted to go up to the two children and ask them who they were crying for.

"This person is a bit troublesome." Bo Ling sighed softly.

"When you meet Jin Yiwei, there is no trouble." Bai Yi noticed Bai Ling's gaze and thought for a while, "Do you want to talk to those two children alone?"

"Yeah." Bo Ling nodded.

"how long?"

"It's time for a cup of tea..." Bai Ling thought for a while before answering, but as soon as the words came out, she couldn't help but tugged on Bai Yi's sleeve, "What do you want to do? Shisi is not here today, don't do it Thing to risk yourself."

"Don't worry, I have a way to chat with this person for a while." Bai Yi gently opened Bai Ling's hand, looking confident, "You control the time yourself, and I won't come back here after talking to him in a while. , you go back to the tea room directly, if the eunuchs and guards have discovered that we sneaked out, we will say that the clouds in the back mountain are beautiful, so we sneaked out to play while they were not paying attention, and ended up wasting time."
