Zhumen Hangui

Chapter 85 The Case in the Temple 8
When Su Yizhao arrived, the outer hall of the Discipline Pavilion had already been raised.

Li Tuiguan sits at the top, Jie Chen sits at the bottom on the left, and there are several monks standing beside him.With his muscular appearance, one could tell it was a monk.

Kneeling in this hall is not only Yang Shan, but also his servant Fang.

Su Yizhao's heart sank. This matter is related to the servant, but strictly speaking, the servant is not considered a major suspect.

In the final analysis, it was because of the identity of the servant, a personal servant, and the identity of his master was also very ordinary.

Seeing Su Yizhao coming, the waiter immediately shouted anxiously, "Master!"

Su Yizhao nodded towards him to show comfort.

"General Cai asked the monks in the monastery. As far as they know, the last person Jing Shu saw was your attendant."

"But he just told the villain that the temple was going to be closed, and he stayed for less than half a quarter of an hour before leaving."

The waiter hurriedly explained that he really didn't read the almanac when he went out, and this matter really has nothing to do with him!
As Li Tuiguan said, he turned over the paper in his hand, and carefully looked at the confession just made by the attendant.

"You have been in the temple since Chen Shizheng, and you opened a side room. After you went to offer incense in the morning, you stayed in the side room until the little master Jingshu reminded you in the evening, and you never left the door. Even at noon Meals are served in the room. I ask you, what are you doing in Fayuan Temple?"

Li Tuiguan's sharp eyes frightened the waiter until his heart trembled.

"Also, the guests in that wing room have already left, but you are the only one left, which is really suspicious." Li Tuiguan frowned.

"My lord! Please allow the students to explain a thing or two to the waiter." Su Yizhao said hastily.

Seeing that it was Su Yizhao who intervened, Li Tuiguan was also willing to give some favors.

"Say it!" Li Tuiguan's expression softened immediately, and he said gently.

"The waiter was called to the temple by a student. My mother was in a slight condition. As a son of man, I was worried. I heard that today there are eminent monks in Fayuan Temple who are going to teach scriptures and recite the Dharma, and they will also choose people who are destined to give them talismans. The students wanted to try it. Last try."

After Su Yizhao finished speaking, he stood beside the waiter with a firm attitude.

"You are filial, but why haven't I seen you for a day?" Li Tuiguan asked doubtfully.

"A few days ago, I heard that there is a kind of Muzi grass on the mountain, which can relieve head wind. However, this grass grows in the deep mountains, and it is very rare. It is not sold in the market for a while, so the students want to try their luck. It is. Because of this matter, it was delayed for some time, but it is a pity that it was not found in the end."

At this time, it was not Su Yizhao who made up lies casually, Tang shi did have a headache, and this Mu Zicao was also true.

Su Yizhao also paid attention to Mu Zicao after he went to the deep mountains, but unfortunately he didn't find it.

"Not found?" Li Tuiguan looked at Su Yizhao suspiciously, "Is there any evidence?"

"Yes! The student called an ox cart to go, and the old man squats at the foot of the wall outside the imperial city every day. You just need to ask who has been to Chushan in the morning."

Su Yizhao paused, and then said: "I also met Nanyang Wang Shizi and his party in the mountains. They went hunting in the mountains and met wolves."

Li Tuiguan's eyes widened immediately, isn't Prince Nanyang a sick child?Why are you still hunting in the mountains?He thought for a moment, planning to ask later.

"Did the waiter hear any movement in the wing room? Two people were killed outside your courtyard. You should be able to hear something?" Li Tuiguan continued to ask.

The waiter shook his head blankly, "I really didn't hear anything. In fact, the villain waited for the young master for a long time and fell asleep halfway. When Master Jingshu came to remind him, the villain woke up not long ago."

"Why didn't you say this earlier? But even so, you can't get rid of the suspicion now."

Li Tuiguan snorted coldly, such an important matter has not been said until now.

Su Yizhao couldn't laugh or cry when he heard the words, this servant will really delay things.

"If that's the case, it's understandable that I didn't hear anything."

Su Yizhao sighed, but she suddenly remembered that there was a small courtyard on the right side of the side room where the servant was. It was true that the well was on the servant's side, but there was a small courtyard in the middle with a door on the wall.

Because the place where Jing Shu fell was on the left, everyone focused their attention on the outside of the courtyard where the waiter was.

"Master Jie'an, isn't there a small yard on the right side of the well? It should be convenient to go to the well from there?" Su Yizhao asked Jie'an.

Jie Chen shook his head, "The courtyard is deserted, no one lives in it on weekdays, and the big lock on the courtyard door has never been opened, and it is already rusty."

"Is there such a place in the temple? If so, if there is someone hiding in the courtyard, it will be hard to tell."

Everyone here understands what Su Yizhao means, but Jie Chen said with certainty: "The poor monk went to see the lock, but it has not been touched. Our temple has strict regulations in this courtyard, no one is allowed to enter!"

It seems that this Fayuan Temple also has a secret!Su Yizhao cursed in his heart.

"The door lock hasn't been moved, but it doesn't mean no one came out from it! Send someone to check in the yard." Su Yizhao still felt that Jing Shu and Feng Cuicui had something to do with that yard.

The well is actually not far from the courtyard where the waiter is, so it is impossible for the waiter not to hear any movement.

Jie Chen's face suddenly became unfriendly, "No one is allowed to enter the courtyard, this is the rule of the temple. There are guards outside the courtyard, how can others enter?"

Su Yizhao was surprised by the attitude of refraining from anger, human life is at stake, rules are dead, but people are alive!Unless there are some ulterior secrets in there.

"Hey! We'll talk about this later. It's better to find the murderer first. Anyway, no one can enter the courtyard. Although the well is outside the courtyard, the surrounding area has been fenced off. The murderer must have entered from the side room."

Li Tuiguan saw that the two were about to argue, so he quickly changed the subject.

The well is said to be outside the courtyard, but it is actually in the corner on the right side of the courtyard.

There was a gap in the corner on that side, surrounded by a fence.Jiechen explained that doing so was also for the safety of the pilgrims.

Some pilgrims brought their children here. The well was originally shared by several courtyards, but later some children were curious and wanted to play there, so the temple built a fence around it.

Only the fence in the direction of the side room is not enclosed, which is convenient for water fetching in the temple.

"There was only one waiter in the wing room at the time, so the waiter was indeed very suspicious." Li Tuiguan thought for a moment and said.

The waiter's face turned pale immediately, he and Jing Shu just met each other once, and they only said a few words, how could they become a murderer?
After Yang Shan listened for a long time, these people only talked about the dead monk, but what about his wife?

"Where is Cao Min's wife? How did she die? Did he also kill her? He was the only one who was there at the time, and he must have seen my wife's beauty, which made him think something that shouldn't have happened. My wife refused, so he killed her. kill."

Yang Shan felt that the servant was more and more suspicious. The monks in this temple didn't need to kill people, and the lady died outside the servant's yard. Who is it but the servant?

As he spoke, he turned around and grabbed the waiter's neck, "Say! Did you kill my wife? You were the one, right?"

After being present, they were startled, and Yang Shan's scarlet eyes made them stunned.

The waiter struggled hard, his face flushed red.Although he is strong, but he is too young, how can he compare to a strong butcher?

"It must be you! Seeing how young you are, you never thought that you would dare to miss my wife when you have a bad stomach!"
