Chapter 844 I am also a Buddhist
As soon as Xie Yuan brought Mrs. Ah Shui into the big tent, he saw Shen Liuzhen holding a few cakes in his hands, and the two two- and three-year-old children surrounded him, eating and laughing, leaving crumbs everywhere. Even the eight or nine-year-old eldest son looked at him with a smile and pinched a piece in his hand.

As soon as Mrs. Ah Shui entered the door, seeing the children so unaware of their distress, she had mixed feelings for a while, and cried again.

Seeing their mother, the two children ran over quickly, handed the leftover cakes to her on tiptoe, and said:
"Mum, this is very delicious, it was given by my pretty brother."

When Mrs. Ah Shui heard this, she was both relieved and uneasy. She glanced at Shen Liuzhen timidly, and said softly:
"Don't bark, call your nobleman."

The two children felt the tension of their mother, and lost the joy they had just now. With the pastry in their hands, they didn't know what to do.

Xie Yuan walked to Shen Liuzhen and sat down, and asked curiously:
"Where did you get this pastry?"

Shen Liuzhen said with a smile: "I brought it, where else could it come from? I was afraid that you would not eat well, so I wanted to give it to you, but you left without saying a word. It just so happened that these children were sent here. I asked Big Brother Liu to carry it over and coax the child."

Seeing Shen Liuzhen's extremely beautiful appearance and gorgeous robes, Mrs. Ah Shui felt timid and stood at the door without daring to move. After hearing what he said, she quickly directed her eldest son to kneel down with her and said:

"I'm sorry, the child made a fuss, caused trouble to the nobleman, and even ate General Xie's snacks."

Shen Liuzhen had a gentle smile on his face, holding the pastry with his hands on his knees, and said with a sideways smile:
"What's that called? Anyway, we, A Yuan, don't like to eat. She was picky when she was a child. Since she entered the barracks, she has become a livestock."

Xie Yuan frowned and gave Shen Liuzhen a white look, and the atmosphere became much lighter for a while.

Mrs. Ah Shui saw that Shen Liuzhen's words were funny and he was very easy-going. The timidity and wariness just now disappeared a lot. She spoke cautiously:
"I know this. I heard from the story that General Xie liked to eat persimmons when she was a child. Later, someone tried to poison her with persimmons. Her little rabbit ate them and died. She never ate them again. .”

Shen Liuzhen laughed out loud upon hearing this, while Xie Yuan was shocked.

This version of the story seems familiar when taken apart, but she doesn't recognize it together.

Xie Yuan was both surprised and puzzled, looked at Shen Liuzhen and questioned:

"How did you arrange all this?! Why don't I remember that my rabbit was poisoned to death by persimmon seeds, it was obviously Kesande who roasted it for me!"

Shen Liuzhen smiled happily, put the pastry in his hand into his mouth and chewed it slowly, and then said:
"This is not a story I wrote. It is estimated that someone adapted it based on some minor information."

Xie Yuan was dubious and didn't say anything.

At this time, Wu Zuo seized the gap, holding the two pieces of washed gold in his hand, and reported to Shen Liuzhen:

"Shen Shizhong, this is the physical evidence taken from the stomach of the deceased."

Hearing this, Shen Liuzhen took out the handkerchief from his arms, picked up a piece of gold from the white cloth that Wu Zuo was holding, and looked at it in front of his eyes.

When he held up the piece of gold to look at it, everyone in the room fell silent, looking at him with his head slightly raised, his wide robe sleeves raised, his appearance was beautiful, like a treasure like an appreciator, carefully turning over the piece of gold A cast of gold ingots.

After a while, he put the gold back, took out another piece, squinted slightly to look at the bottom of the gold and said:
"The two pieces of gold were poured from the same grinding tool. Perhaps, through the same texture, other clues can be found."

As he spoke, he put the piece of gold back into Wu Zuo's hand and asked him to put it away.Putting the handkerchief in his hand on the table next to him, he said to Aunt Ah Shui:
"Sister-in-law, these two pieces of gold should be kept as evidence to find out why your husband committed suicide. I will give you the same amount and give you another two pieces, and I will return it to you."

Aunt Ah Shui heard that, her eyes were shining with fear, she hesitated for a while looking at the two pieces of gold, and then quickly nodded in agreement:
"Good good..."

The source of those two pieces of gold was unknown, and she knew that her husband would never get it through normal means, and maybe it didn't belong to them at all.

But, she wanted it too much.Now that she has no husband and three children, those two pieces of gold mean that they can live well.

Shen Liuzhen smiled slightly, satisfied with Mrs. Ah Shui's reaction, and said:
"Where do you live now? I didn't bring it with me at this time, and I will send someone to your house later."

The woman said: "Our family lives on the side of the city wall of the West City, in the innermost alley..." She didn't know what to say, so she added, "It's not far from Guanyin Temple."

When they heard the words "Guanyin Temple", Shen Liuzhen and Xie Yuan looked at each other, and they both saw some kind of speculation in each other's eyes.

Shen Liuzhen turned to ask gently:

"Do sister-in-law's family believe in Buddhism?"

Mrs. Ah Shui nodded, and said: "Ever since Sha Wei became the head of the guard in the military town and was always bullied and scolded by the school captain, he has believed in Buddhism. It's the same here, let us go there when we have time." Let’s worship in Guanyin Temple.”

Shen Liuzhen asked again:
"You guys also recognize Monk Fajing from Guanyin Temple? How is your relationship?"

Mrs. Ah Shui felt a little strange. She didn't know why Shen Liuzhen suddenly wanted to ask the temple, but she still answered honestly:
"It's pretty good... Sha Wei doesn't like to tell me or the children if he has any difficulties in his heart. He just keeps it in his heart. When he was in Huai'an Army Town, he would just find a monk Chat and listen to monks explaining Buddhism.

After arriving here, he specially went to Guanyin Temple to donate a lot of money, and even recognized Master Fa Jing as his master, and he was regarded as Master Fa Jing's lay disciple. "

After Mrs. Ah Shui said this, she suddenly remembered something, her expression was gloomy, she wiped her tears and said:
"He also said before that if he dies in the future, let me ask Master Fa Jing to do a ritual ceremony for him."

Shen Liuzhen heard this, nodded, thought for a while, and then said:
"Well, it's not convenient to send someone to find your residence, so you follow me home to get the gold.

And I am also a Buddhist believer. Although I have never met Sha Wei before I was alive, but after hearing what you said today, he must be a good person.

We are predestined, I will take care of Sha Wei's funeral, and I will invite Monk Fajing, it will be done well, so that he can go on the road with peace of mind. "

Mrs. Ah Shui was terrified and pleasantly surprised when she heard that, she cried and said:
"This is so troublesome to you. I... I don't know what to do. I didn't expect to meet such a good person like you. General Xie is as good as the story said. This gentleman is also so good. It would have been great if Sha Wei had met you guys earlier... woo woo woo woo woo..."
