The county magistrate has no time to save the world

Chapter 97 Inextricably linked

Zheng Nian sat on the futon of Master Longyin's couch.

The furnishings in the room are very simple, only some simple daily necessities and some clothes.

There are teacups on the table.

"Master Long Yin died an hour ago." Chen Xuan'er said.

There were only the two of them left in the room, Wu Siyan had already gone to the main entrance to deal with Jin Yiwei, and the investigation was left to them.

This was the first time Chen Xuan'er accompanied Zheng Nian to investigate the case, her expression was very dignified, not only she wrote down many investigation results from Dali Temple, but also obediently stayed by Zheng Nian's side, not disturbing him.

"Yes." Zheng Nian never took his eyes off the table in front of him.

"Is there... anything on the table?" Chen Xuan'er looked at Zheng Nian suspiciously.

"There are two cups of tea." Zheng Nian said.

"You mean... Master Long Yin met with a guest before he died." Chen Xuan'er said immediately.

"Smart." Zheng Nian said, "Can you see anything else?"

"It can also be seen that this person must have known Master Longyin, or has a very good relationship. There are not many people who can enter the Master's Zen Temple in Daxiangguo Temple." Chen Xuan'er murmured.

"Your idea is correct, but not detailed enough." Zheng Nian pointed to the table and said, "Look over there."

Chen Xuan'er walked to the side where the sundries were placed, "There are still two teacups here."

"Master Long Yin has received two groups of guests." Zheng Nian said, "Then the question now comes, who are these two groups of guests?"

"How can you guess this?" Chen Xuan'er was discouraged, "Could it be possible to guess who is coming based on a teacup?"

Zheng Nian smiled and said, "At least I can get some clues, such as the two cups beside you, one of which has rouge on it. There are only a handful of people who can visit the abbot of Daxiangguo Temple. Those who are personally received by the Patriarch of Daxiangguo Temple have a more detached status."

"I guess it's the princess and son-in-law of Dali Kingdom!" Chen Xuan'er walked up to Zheng Nian and sat down.

Zheng Nian laughed uncontrollably, "Yes! And the second person who came here was the one who killed Master Long Yin."

Chen Xuan'er looked at the table in front of her, "Then based on this cup, what can you deduce?"

"The second person should not speculate from the cup, but from the dead." Zheng Nian said.

"Dead people?" Chen Xuan'er was taken aback, "There are dead people outside the door."

"Since there are dead people outside the door, why is there a head on the statue of the Heavenly King?"

"Didn't they die at the same time?" Chen Xuan'er asked.

"Of course not. The owner of the head on the Tianwang statue was in the pile of corpses outside the house, but he didn't die at the same time as Master Long Yin. Instead, he was put into the pile of corpses after he died." Zheng Zheng Nian walked to the table and played with the cup in his hand, "I'm afraid the secret here is the secret that must be beheaded, that is to say, this person's head has been planted with Gu."

"Princess Dali and her son-in-law left after killing the person who planted the Gu, and then another person came and killed everyone here, including Master Long Yin?" Chen Xuan'er was puzzled, "Why do you want to do this?"

"The line of writing on the courtyard wall may be the reason." Zheng Nian said.

"'Skynet is not missing?' Why don't you write that good and evil will be rewarded in the end?" Chen Xuaner asked.

"I'm afraid it's not revenge." Zheng Nian raised his head suddenly, "I don't understand either, why don't we... let's ask."

"Ask who?" Chen Xuan'er quickly followed Zheng Nian to the outside, "No, who are you going to ask? Wait a moment."

Zheng Nian turned around and grabbed Chen Xuan'er's hand, "The people who killed this place are those who came later. It must be because these people saw his face. Anyone who sees his face will die."

"Then who are you going to ask?" Chen Xuan'er tapped her head.

"Ask the person who saw him but didn't die." Zheng Nian said loudly.

Trot all the way, ran back to the temple from the top of the mountain.

The disciples guarding the mountain didn't know where they went, so the two of them just wandered into the temple, but at this moment they found that a large number of disciples had gathered in the front hall.

"Brother, look over there!" Chen Xuan'er asked.

"It has nothing to do with us."

Zheng Nian knew that it was Wu Siyan who was helping him to buy time, so he quickened his pace and walked towards the side hall next to the Palace of Heavenly Kings with the door tightly closed.

There are three people in the room.

Sitting in the hall, Princess Dali and her son-in-law are motionless like two statues of gods, while Master Huihai, who is chanting sutras on the futon below, is even more like a log.

Three pieces of wood.

"You shouldn't have come." Master Hui Hai didn't look back, and said in a helpless tone, "You could have a wonderful life, but you chose to give it up. People really don't cherish things that are readily available."

"Hey, master, you have a set of chicken soup." Zheng Nian rubbed his nose, took Chen Xuan'er's hand into the house, and said to the two people sitting in the hall, "The magistrate of Chang'an County in the capital, see the princess Your Highness, see Prince Consort."

The princess's complexion was not very good-looking, she was dull and pale. Hearing Zheng Nian's words, she just nodded blankly.

The son-in-law looked gloomy and looked at Zheng Nian coldly, "Magistrate of Chang'an County? Can a ninth-rank official trespass on Daxiangguo Temple?"

Zheng Nian ignored him at all, but looked at Master Hui Hai sitting on the futon.

At this moment, Master Hui Hai held the rosary beads with both hands, closed his eyes and inhaled, "What a wonderful lady, it's a pity that I won't see you in the future."

"Yo, master, are you going blind?" Zheng Nian was taken aback.

"Zheng Nian, the poor monk will give you a ride."

As soon as the words fell, Zheng Nian immediately threw Chen Xuan'er behind him, and immediately greeted her with his left hand.

Master Hui Hai's palm was abruptly blocked by Zheng Nian, and then Zheng Nian took three steps back, "If your strength is really on the stage, you won't call someone to kill Master Long Yin."

"You...you forced me." Master Huihai's eyes gradually turned cold, and he pinched out a strange formula with his left hand, and a centipede with short and long fingers slowly appeared in his hand.

"You are wrong. You should not have let this person kill Master Longyin. His palm is poisonous, and it is a very unique poison." Zheng Nian continued, "It must be that Xinghualou killed that prostitute in front of Prince Qing that day. The person, also he."

Hui Hai threw the centipede out with his left hand. The target was not Zheng Nian, but the air.

"You know too much!" Master Hui Hai grabbed Void with his hand, and the centipede exploded in the air.

"Gu descend!"

Hui Hai roared angrily.

But nothing happened.

Zheng Nian yawned and looked at Hui Hai, "I said before, Gu is useless."

Hui Hai stared at Chen Xuan'er in disbelief, "You...how could it be!"

"Brother, he asked you!" Chen Xuan'er poked Zheng Nian's waist, "What's going on?"

"Hmm... It's also very complicated to explain. I'm too lazy to explain to you. I just want to ask one thing. You probably don't have time to deal with the second head on the king's statue that day. I thought about it and thought of someone, right? Abbot, where is Master Huiming?"

Zheng Nian looked at Hui Hai.

"It's ridiculous, Senior Brother Huiming is outside the house, if it's his head, how could it be...you...what are you doing!"

Hui Hai only spoke half of what he said.

Zheng Nian jumped up, held Chen Xuan'er's saber, and went straight to Princess Dali in the hall, piercing her chest with a sword.
