Tianyi

Chapter 27 Brown Clothes (14)

The strange thing is that the man in gray robe still sat on the ground with his head lowered and remained silent.

Xue Yi asked softly: "Senior, is the guess I just made right?"

After a long moment, the man in gray robe nodded.

Xueyi asked again: "My master never owed you anything, but you mistrusted my master. You need to abide by the rules of my Tianyi Sect. To answer my question, do you admit it or not?"

After a long time, the man in gray robe nodded again.

Xue Yi asked seriously: "Senior, what reason did you use to trick my master into saving you 20 years ago?"

long silence.

Suddenly, the man in gray robe raised his head, and an extremely hoarse and rough voice sounded in the yard, saying: "Good girl, if you can ask this question, the strange saying is that I am the proof. Okay, this question is enough to prove that your master It’s true that I haven’t told you about the past between me and her.”

"Let me answer you honestly, 20 years ago, my own father hated me so much that on the day of delivery, he didn't even invite a midwife, but he waited for both my mother and my son to die. The one who came all the way to save me was your master. . She also served me during my confinement period and persuaded my mother to take care of me. Except for my biological father, my family was slowly persuaded by your master and gradually accepted our mother and son. On the day of the full moon, my biological father actually came to my room. I visited my grandson, and your master saw that he was fine, so he left."

"Unexpectedly, news of the death of the hungry ghost came that night. My own father beat my child to death right in front of me. I ran away from home and swore a blood oath to kill this prince. Pay for my son’s life.”

"Your master once taught me a life-saving trap, but I didn't use it to guard against my biological father. Instead, I used it to kill my enemy. However, I was still afraid that I couldn't kill him, so I sent a letter to your master. , just saying that my biological father wanted to kill me and begged her to save me. Your master came in a hurry and met him and I fighting. The situation was chaotic, and she was able to recognize a live mole at a glance and saw through my lies. She did not hesitate to hurt both sides of her body to resolve the deadlock between me and him. Later, I promised your master that as long as she is still the head of the Tianyi Sect, I will not seek revenge on this prince."

"This... what kind of proof is this?" The old man was dizzy after hearing this, and said: "Sect Master, what you guessed before has been confirmed by her, so what kind of proof do you need? How can the answer she gave you? Prove what?"

Xueyi said: "Grandpa, this senior understands that the so-called time comparison I said before is a lie. Her giving birth to a child is a shame to the family. There are indeed rumors that her father kidnapped his grandson after learning about the death. , but where can I get the accurate time?”

"I just guessed that because your grandson was lost on the night of the full moon, her child also died on the full moon, and it was also the day when grandpa killed the hungry ghost. Is it really a guess? Is it possible? If she is right, she needs to say it herself to prove it. And if I guess right, the relationship between my master and her will be revealed. The question I asked her does not violate my master's promise to keep her secret. No, but if she is willing to answer me truthfully, she will have to tell the story of her acquaintance with my master."

Xueyi looked at the old man and explained: "It's just like before, I asked my grandfather about the strangeness of the hidden weapon after he told me to follow the traces to detect hidden ghosts. Just because the master also made a promise, I can't Asking about old things openly. This senior has recognized the rules of my Tianyi Sect and is willing to answer my question honestly. My previous guess has been confirmed."

"Master told me that someone would throw a doll. I guess it must be because this senior once told my master that when she seeks revenge on you in the future, she will retaliate. I speculate that this senior and grandpa Her grievances were caused by the loss of her son, so the reason why she deceived my master to rescue her must also be related to this. She was willing to answer me honestly how she deceived my master, which meant that she took the initiative to tell the truth about her relationship with my master. The details of my past events can be perfectly matched." Xueyi paused and then said: "But just now, I said that she herself is the evidence. It's not just about grandpa's case, it's my calculation that's accurate. Proof that the brown-clothed sister is in the courtyard of your in-laws’ mansion.” Xue Yi’s explanation was very detailed, obviously not just for the elderly.

"Sister, I wanted to ask as soon as I came back, how did you know that Sister Brown Yi was at that old squire's house?" Zi Yi rushed to ask, looking a little dizzy.

"Grandpa Mole has not been out of the world for a long time. He never thought of looking for my Tianyi Sect in the first place, so he would not take the initiative to mention it. His in-laws, the old squire, is not a member of the world, but he wants his son to send a message to him. There is a perfect answer, but these words have already made me suspicious." Xueyi said, "Before the brown-clothed sister entered my Tianyi family, she was a little girl who burned the stove in the squire's house. I once heard her say that that family He treated her well, and the uncle squire was especially kind, but when Brown Yi went back to look for her later, the old squire had moved with his family, and he didn't know where he went."

"I have already guessed that the doll that grandpa lost must be in the courtyard of the in-laws' mansion. I also guessed that the dark ghost must be hiding in the courtyard, otherwise it would be difficult to threaten the whole family and only hide it from grandpa. So, then, When my father-in-law said the words "perfect clothes", I immediately thought that someone from the Tianyi Sect might have given me some advice, so who could it be?"

"It's not difficult to find evidence. I have already guessed that when grandpa comes back to ask for answers, someone may take the opportunity to kill grandpa. As long as we catch this person and smell her hair, we can get the old squire's home , that person from the Tianyi Sect has proved it."

"The smell in your hair?" Qing Yi was suddenly confused. He walked over and got close to the gray-robed man's hair. After a slight sniff, he said, "The eldest sister is right. Only the brown-robed sister in the world can prepare such a spicy pepper fragrance. If you eat the rice cooked by Sister Brown every day, you will have such a subtle pepper fragrance in your hair."

"That's it." Zi Yi sighed: "The eldest sister's thoughts are really meticulous. The old squire's daughter is still breastfeeding, so she must have more food. Sister Brown Yi is a master in the kitchen, and she will do everything. A senior is hiding there, I think he must be eating with the old squire's daughter to feel at ease. I'm used to the smell of pepper, so the senior himself didn't even notice it, right?"

The man in gray robe raised his hand to stroke his hair and was speechless for a long time.

"Then why do we need to send all three people away? We have clearly calculated that today is dangerous, but we have sent out all the ones we can. Just now Qing Yi used his sword, and I broke out in a cold sweat. What if I miss this? What if I miss it? Let her rush in, what should you do if you make a mistake?" Lao Che suddenly muttered loudly, facing the courtyard door without looking at anyone.

Qing Yi and Zi Yi immediately shut up, one looked to the left and the other to the right.

Xue Yi had no choice but to answer the question himself: "Lao Che, no matter how accurate my calculations are, I still need to be prepared on both sides, right? If this senior doesn't come today, he must still be in the old squire's house. I can't go out to give orders. To be on the safe side, I need to send out all the sisters who can fight. Brown Yi can act as an internal response there. If a fight really breaks out in the old squire's house, Blue Yi, Zi Yi and Red Yi will definitely be able to restrain this senior by joining forces. .”

"As for Tianyi Courtyard, as long as this senior shows up, you and Qingyi will act according to my instructions. You don't need to be able to fight her. You can just lead her to the redbud vines. Qingyi can do this... Lao Che, please relax, I have a sense of discretion."

The courtyard fell silent for a while, and no one spoke for a long time.
