The villain heroine just wants to grab the country at the beginning

Chapter 17 find
Xiao Yan pointed to Jing Chunming's location.

"Twice, the little beggar saw the monk near Jingchunming. Xiaoshuixiang is very close to Jingchunming, and it is the alley with the most complicated environment. The place they agreed on should be Xiaoshuixiang."

"But we quickly organized people to search around Xiaoshui Lane, and found no suspicious persons." Zhao Du said.

He stared at the map, wishing he could directly spot a murderer from the map and arrest him on the spot.

"Besides, there is another question. The little beggar sent a letter saying that he saw the great monk, but when we came over, it was grandma. Why did he change his face halfway? Where did he change his face? If he has time, why not immediately Escape? Does it mean that the person he wants to meet happens to be in our encirclement.

He disguised himself to meet people. He would rather take the risk of being caught than to meet his accomplices. What interests attracted him to take such a big risk? "

Zhao Du was puzzled.

Xiao Yan's eyes carefully checked back and forth along Xiaoshui Lane on the map, and suddenly the tip of the pen stained with cinnabar paused, and Xiao Yan clicked on the location on the map.

Zhao Du leaned over to look, "Qingyuan Temple?"

Xiao Yandao: "The main entrance of Qingyuan Temple is at the end of Liushu Lane opposite Xiaoshui Lane, and the back gate just connects to the residential area in the West City."

As Xiao Yan spoke, the red cinnabar circled Qingyuan Temple, and he followed Langhaohubi. At the front gate of Qingyuan Temple, he followed Liushu Lane, arrived at Xiaoshui Lane, and reached Gulou Street all the way. When he came out of Xiaoshui Lane, it was diagonally opposite Startled spring tea.

And go out the back door of Qingyuan Temple, and arrive at the fixed residence registered by the grandmother. The distance is not far, and the road also has an alley with many turns.

This kind of road is most suitable for those who are familiar with the terrain to escape.

Connecting back and forth, Xiao Yan put the Hu pen on the pen holder next to him, turned his head and said to Thirteen: "Order to go down and search for Qingyuan Temple!"

Thirteen took the order to leave, Xiao Yan said to Zhao Du: "Have you gone to check this grandma's house?"

Zhao Du responded, "I've already gone to investigate, and there should be results soon."

As soon as Zhao Du finished speaking, the door of the private room in the teahouse was pushed open from the outside, and another official from the Ministry of Punishment came in.

"My lord, I have found out that the courtyard where the grandmother lives, the owner of the land title registered by the household department is Wang Fulai, in his 40s, with two daughters who are widowed.

I went to investigate around the house. Half a year ago, Wang Fulai and his two daughters were still living in the house, and the neighbors could often see them.

Later, when Wang Fulai's old mother came, I didn't see Wang Fulai and his two daughters very much. "

Zhao Du raised his eyebrows, "Mother?"

The official from the Ministry of Punishment smiled wryly, "It's that grandma. No accident, Wang Fulai and his two daughters should be gone. The monk pretended to be grandma and occupied that yard, and sent people to search the yard."

Zhao Du scolded angrily, "What a beast!"

Xiao Yan's face turned blue.

It turned out that Jingchunming was not the first case.

It's just that Jingchunming's position is special, and Jingchunming's boss is still alive, and his wife and daughter were killed before being called out, and the government didn't know.

And the owner of this house, father and daughter all died, and a person who claimed to be an old lady lived in the house, and the neighbors didn't even know that she was dead.

With a gloomy face, Xiao Yan stood up and looked out the window.

People from the Ministry of Criminal Justice and the Jingwei Camp outside were still searching, and their footsteps were in a hurry.

In broad daylight, I don't know how many such hidden cases there are.

The deceased could not even express a word of injustice.

bang.

The door of the private room was suddenly knocked open.

An official from the Criminal Department stumbled in.

Unsteady on his feet, he staggered, but it was too late to stand still, "My lord, Shisan just sent back the news that the Great Monk was found in Qingyuan Temple!"

As soon as Xiao Yan's breath changed, he raised his foot and walked out.

Zhao Du followed with a serious face.

Qingyuan Temple.

Thirteen looked around anxiously, "Where's the person?"

Standing next to him was a yamen servant from the Ministry of Criminal Justice, "The one who saw him fleeing here with his own eyes just now must be still there. We surrounded Qingyuan Temple completely! He can't escape!"

Thirteen gritted his teeth, "I have to dig three feet to find it!"

The officials of the Ministry of Punishment relentlessly searched the monastery almost inch by inch.

The five remaining monks in the monastery were all gathered in the front yard.

Xiao Yan hasn't come yet, Shisan is interrogating temporarily.

The oldest monk looked about 50 years old, his face was very kind, and his tone was calm, he said: "The official is clear, I am guarding the Qingyuan Temple with four disciples, the temple is compassionate, every day Taking in people who have no place to live, we will not inquire about each other's privacy with them.

It really wasn't a deliberate harboring of a culprit. "

Thirteen had a fierce face, with one foot on the stool.

"Stop talking nonsense. On the list posted by the government, the portrait of this great monk ranks first. All the children in the streets and alleys know that this monk is a murderer. You keep him here, don't you know?"

The old monk didn't move his brows and eyes, and his face drooped with a compassionate expression.

"The old man and the four apprentices usually stay at home, and next month is the annual Buddha Festival. Before the Buddha Festival, we will clean up the temple. Although the temple looks small, it is There are only five of us, and we have to do a lot of work every day. We really didn't notice the wanted portraits from the government.

If they knew, they would never dare to stay with him overnight.

Don't say that it is a crime not to report the knowledge, and it is not safe for other people who are staying in the monastery. "

The old monk insisted that he knew nothing.

Thirteen didn't believe a word, and said through grinding his teeth, "Old bald donkey, don't come here, I think you won't cry when you see the coffin, come on, let's go to punishment!"

The monk immediately panicked and said: "My lord, according to the regulations of this dynasty, monks can be exempted from punishment. If you can't know the law and break the law, I'm innocent!"

The four young monks next to them were also panicked, and they simply sat cross-legged on the ground and began to chant sutras.

The vague words spit out from their mouths in unison, Shisan was upset when he heard it, and kicked the stool over.

"That's an exemption from punishment for true compassion, and you are exempt from the fart of a fake donkey! Put me on the torture tools, and these little ones will be tried separately!"

Even if there are officials from the Ministry of Punishments, they will be taken away separately.

The youngest one was the one who was sweeping the yard with a blank face and no expression. He watched helplessly as the yamen servant of the Ministry of Punishments held the torture tool in his hand. The torture tool stick was as long as two chopsticks. , with edges and corners, if you pinch your fingers into it.
His scalp was numb, and even before the instrument of torture was put on, he was so frightened that his legs went limp, and he slumped there, grunting in horror.

"In the Great Hall of the Great Hero."

He said sadly in a low trembling voice, and the old monk immediately cast a sharp murderous look at him, "Shut up!"

Thirteen kicked the old monk's buttocks, the old monk's center of gravity was unstable, and he fell down.

"Dog, get him to death!"

Gritting his teeth and leaving an order, Shisan led the people to the Daxiong Palace.

It happened that Xiao Yan rushed over with someone.
