Dayong Nu sentenced to death

Chapter 131 Must wait for a verification!
The answer to this question remains to be explored.

They had to admit that after Shanglin County, the black hand behind the scenes was ahead of them every step of the way. This difference of one step led to their failure!

"I will order the Falcon Department to confirm this matter again."

Fake Mu Tianfeng's life and death can be known at a glance.

"It's the only way it can go now."

Su Rao suppressed the complicated thoughts in her mind, and focused her attention on her eyes, "Let's look for clues about the outer room first."

"it is good."

The two checked separately in the house.

Not long after, Yan Yun found a few packs of herbs in the corner, opened them, looked at them, and said, "Fangfeng, Ephedra, Angelica dahurica, Perilla... It seems that these are the medicines sent by the abbot to treat wind and cold."

"So he entered the house at the time, but when he saw something, he put down the medicine bag in shock, turned around and ran outside, and was finally pierced through the back by a sword."

Su Rao looked out through the wide-open door, Master Hui Ding was still standing in front of the pile of blood, chanting sutras and chanting Buddha, her eyes were dim, and she said softly: "There is an oval mark near the wound on the abbot's back, which should be the hilt of a sword. caused by a strong impact.”

"With such strength and lacerations, the murderer's internal strength must not be weak."

She spoke in a calm voice, paused, and continued: "The abbot has no fighting injuries on his body, that is to say, he fled immediately after entering the house, so what will he see when he looks inside..."

"Murder."

Yan Yun spoke indifferently.

At that time, the outer room must be killed, the murderer is still there, and Master Huishan was killed because he broke in accidentally...

"But what about the corpse in the outer room?"

"The deep mountains and old forests are the best places to throw corpses. There is a steep slope in front of the bamboo house. If you look down, you can always find it..."

"Then go back and wait."

After the two made up their minds, they left the bamboo house and waited quietly for Master Huiding to finish his chanting and return to the temple. At this time, there was not enough manpower, so they summoned the monks in the temple to look for it.

The murderer had a limited distance to throw the corpse, which greatly reduced the scope.

Even so, when the monks sent to report the incident rushed back with the officers and soldiers, there was no news from the back mountain.

"There is no blood on the ground outside the house. If he really killed someone and threw the body away, it shouldn't be like this, so I suspect that the one outside the house died earlier..."

"The specific situation can only be judged after seeing the corpse."

Su Rao propped her chin with one hand, rubbed her earlobe lightly with her fingers, and thought: "The murderer killed someone at least two days ago, and not many people in the temple knew about the existence of the outer room, so it would not cause a commotion, but Master Huishan is different, Once something happens to him, the entire ancient Buddhist temple will be shaken."

"In this way, it is bound to alarm us."

"The enemy is dark and we are clear. He always has the upper hand. Even if we realize it, it will be too late. Then why does he bother to hide the news of the abbot's death and delay the time, unless..."

Yan Yun's indifferent eyes condensed slightly, and his voice was jade-like: "Unless he didn't get what he wanted, but he has a clue."

……

"Sutra Pavilion!"

Su Rao categorically said these three words, no one in the temple knew the concubine, only Master Huizhi of the Sutra Pavilion said that she occasionally came to help sort out the scriptures, which shows that this place is the most suspicious.

Several days had passed since the two abbots died, and the Zangshu Pavilion was so big, if the murderer wanted to search for it, he would probably have succeeded.

"I'll go take a look."

Su Rao got up and said.

"Let Zhu Yan and the others find it."

Yan Yun reminded: "The person sent to the back mountain may come back at any time, so you should wait here."

"Too."

After a few days, the mountain is no better than a meditation room, and the corpses in the outer room may be seriously rotted, so it is not good to park them for a long time.

Must check it out as soon as possible.

Thinking of this, Su Rao sat down again.

The secret guards were ordered to investigate the news of Mu Tianfeng's death and search the Zangshu Pavilion, and they left to do it, while the two waited in the Zen room, preparing to meet the magistrate of Qing County who came here to handle the case.

Master Huiding got the news in advance and went to greet him in front of the temple gate.

Not long after, a rush of footsteps came from outside.

"My lord, the two distinguished guests of Dali Temple are inside, please hurry up!"

"There is Master Lao."

Two figures came in, one in front and one in the back. The leader was Master Hui Ding, and behind him was a tall, thin old man in official robes. He had gray beard and gray hair, but his eyes were hale and sharp.

When he got close, he bowed his hands slightly first, and examined the two of them, especially when it fell on Su Rao, his brows were visible to the naked eye.

Soon it was back to normal.

He looked at Yan Yun, and said neither humble nor overbearing: "I heard that your Excellency holds the token of Dali Temple, I wonder if I can let the official check it out."

From what he said, the county magistrate of Qing County obviously had doubts about their identities.

"Please."

Yan Yun stood up and nodded, took out the warrant and handed it over.

The old county magistrate took the token and looked it over and over again, and after confirming it again and again, he finally had a bright look on his face, and returned the token with both hands: "Qingxian county magistrate Zhou Jifeng pays his respects to Lord Yan."

"Master Zhou is free."

Yan Yun gave him a hand, and said calmly, "You're going to climb the mountain all night, why don't you sit down and have a cup of tea first, and take a breather."

"The subordinate dare not."

Zhou Jifeng was sweating profusely and still shook his head stubbornly, "There has been such a tragic case of killing monks in Qingxian County. As a parent official, I am ashamed of being cultivated by the court. I really feel ashamed to sit down."

This old man is interesting.

It was far from those flattering people she had seen in the past, she didn't know whether she was wearing a coat or whether it was the same inside and out, Su Rao thought about it, and the smile on the corner of her mouth deepened a little.

Words turned a blind eye to her pondering eyes, looked straight at the old county magistrate and said: "The deal is done, it's useless to think too much, sit down!"

His tone was light but with an undeniable coldness.

The old county magistrate glanced at him, recalling all the rumors about the young man in front of him, his stubborn heart was finally shaken, he cupped his hands and sat down gently.

Only sat on the edge of the chair.

"Master Huiding only talked about Mr. Yan's investigation of the case, but I don't know how far the case has progressed?"

"Since it was a murder case, the lower official also brought the servants from the yamen, so he is waiting outside and can be summoned at any time."

"I don't know where the deceased is now?"

After asking several questions in a row, he didn't even have time to drink the tea at hand. It could be seen that the county magistrate was very concerned about the case.

Yan Yun replied: "There are two dead in this case. The body of the abbot has been tested. There is also a woman who died in the back mountain. The body is still being searched."

"Two people..."

The old county magistrate blinked his shriveled eyelids, and asked doubtfully, "Have you been tested? Did your lord bring a coworker with you on this trip?"

He didn't ask why the prince, who is an imperial envoy, suddenly appeared in the ancient Buddhist temple. This is not what he, a small county magistrate, should know.

For him, the most important thing is to find out the murder case and catch the murderer.

The eldest son of the Yan family is in charge of the prison of Dali Temple, so it is not surprising that there are experts in autopsy around him, but this time he is ordered to announce the edict, how could Hao Duanduan bring a coroner by his side?
Isn't it strange!
