Chapter 176

Bai Zhi was in an even better mood when she saw Shen Changyan eating happily.

After the meal, the two went out to attend the temple fair together.

It was said to be a temple fair, but it was actually a gathering of herbal medicine dealers, doctors, and various drug-making sects from all over the country in the capital.

There are not only all kinds of rare herbal medicines, but also various poisons and famous doctors from all over the world come to see a doctor, exchange medical skills, exchange herbal medicines and so on.

Before going out, Shen Changyan had enough money with him. He knew that Bai Zhi would make a big purchase.

Sure enough, after shopping for a while, Bai Zhi had already bought Tianshan Snow Lotus, Penglai Immortal Grass, Deep Sea Seahorse and other rare herbs that are usually difficult to buy, spending thousands of taels of silver.

"Does your flesh hurt?"

She asked with a sideways smile.

Shen Changyan replied seriously: "If you can buy it, it proves that it has its own value. No matter how much money you spend, it is worth it."

Hearing these words, Bai Zhi was very upset, she winked at him, and said with a smile: "Okay then, let's continue."

Suddenly, Bai Zhi saw a familiar figure, and she immediately pulled Shen Changyan's arm.

Shen Changyan stopped and turned to look at her.

Bai Zhi cooed at that person.

Shen Changyan followed her eyes and saw the figure from behind. He lowered his voice and asked, "Is this old-fashioned guy showing up again?"

Bai Zhi nodded, and then the two of them hid in the crowd. Seeing that Taoist Master Yijiang had bought some herbs that aphrodisiac and nourish the kidneys, both of them had a look of coldness on their faces, knowing that he was planning to go out and harm the girl again.

Now that you have met him, you can no longer let him run away.

Bai Zhi made a quick decision and prepared to have a magic contest with Taoist Master Yijiang at the temple fair.

Unexpectedly, before she can pinpoint the stillness formula.

A woman suddenly rushed to Taoist Yijiang, pointed at him and shouted loudly: "Flower thief, you are the flower thief who took me to the cave and wanted to do something casual."

"Xiao Cui?" Bai Zhi could not help but whisper after seeing the woman clearly.

However, Shen Changyan hurriedly stretched out his hand to cover her mouth, signaling that she should be silent. The two of them continued to hide in the crowd and wait and see what would happen.

Bai Zhi nodded obediently, and then Shen Changyan let go.

Daoist Yijiang was identified as a flower picker by Xiaocui in the street. He was taken aback for a moment, then he looked innocently calm, shook his head and smiled and said, "Wuliang Tianzun, the poor Taoist is a pure cultivator who lives in the mountain gate for a long time. A nasty person? Little girl, I'm afraid I have identified the wrong person. "

As he spoke, he continued to bend down to select herbs.

Xiaocui's pretty little face was red with anger: "You are a fake Taoist priest. I will recognize you even if you turn into ashes. The smell of mummy on your body is disgusting, and..."

As she spoke, she jumped up suddenly, and tore off Daoist Yijiang's obviously oversized Taoist cap that covered her ears.

Director Yijiang subconsciously covered his ears first.

This action makes Bai Zhi conclude that he is the flower picker whose ear was bitten by Xiaocui in the cave.

So she bent down to pick up a small stone from the ground, then pretended to carelessly stroke the broken hair on her forehead, and threw the small stone out.

"Hey..."

Daoist Yijiang only felt a huge pain in the back of his hand, and he immediately waved his hand to check.

In this way his ears were exposed.

Xiao Cui immediately yelled: "You have obvious tooth marks on your ears, which were bitten badly. You are a flower picker."

When the people around heard this, they were in an uproar.

The Taoist priest was a monk, but he was accused of being a flower picker, which really surprised everyone.

Daoist Yijiang knows it's not good, if he doesn't escape now, when will he wait?

So he didn't argue and ran away.

Bai Zhi's quick eyes and quick hands popped out another pebble and hit him on the knee.

Daoist Yijiang was caught off guard, his legs softened in pain, and he knelt down on the ground.

At this time, the officials who were maintaining order at the scene had already rushed over here.

At the temple fair in Beijing, experts in medicine and poison came from all over the country, and the imperial court was also afraid of accidents, so the Jingzhaoyi Mansion sent a large number of soldiers to maintain order at the scene.

Xiaocui reported the case to the official who came over, and found out that the Taoist priest Yijiang was the flower picker.

Director Yijiang denied it in every possible way, but there were bite marks on his ears, which became evidence that he couldn't get rid of.

In this way, Taoist priest Yijiang was arrested, and the official took Xiaocui away to the Yamen for questioning.

Bai Zhi was worried that Xiaocui would be plotted by Daoist Master Yijiang and his people, so she looked at Shen Changyan.

Shen Changyan nodded slightly at her, walked out of the crowd, and stepped forward to ask, "What happened?"

The official quickly saluted and said hello and briefly told what happened.

Shen Changyan said: "I will go to the Yamen with you."

Rao was protected by him and Bai Zhi, but he was still attacked on the way back to Beijing Zhaoyi Mansion.

The masked killers had a clear goal, and they wanted to put Xiaocui to death.

Shen Changyan subdued several masked killers, but before questioning, they all committed suicide by biting their tongues.

When Bai Zhi saw this, she smiled coldly: "You openly snatch people from the hands of officials and assassinate them. It shows that you have a strong backing."

When Daoist Yijiang heard this, he pretended not to hear it, closed his eyes, and acted as if he was staying out of the matter.

Finally returned to Jing Zhaoyi's mansion, Jing Zhaoyi immediately went to court to ask questions.

After Xiaocui told her evidence, she asked other girls who went home after disappearance to come and identify her in court.

Jing Zhaoyi did not refuse, and immediately sent people to find those girls.

But those girls lost their memories, and no one dared to identify Daoist Yijiang.

There is only Xiao Cui's testimony, and there are no witnesses. In addition, Daoist Yijiang refuses to admit it to death, and he becomes a monk and commits suicide.

Jing Zhaoyi was the same, it's not easy to decide, he knew the identity of Daoist Yijiang, he was a Taoist priest who could protect the country, a Taoist priest with profound Taoism, even the emperor respected him three points.

But he couldn't be released in court, after all, Shen Changyan and Bai Zhi were in court to watch.

They were obviously on Xiaocui's side, and they didn't have any words of defense against Daoist Yijiang.

Just when Jing Zhaoyi was in a dilemma, not knowing how to decide whether to release or arrest, the third prince came.

Jing Zhaoyi couldn't help but secretly let out a sigh of relief, he was finally the one to come to the end.

He decided not to care what the third prince had to say, just follow through, and it has nothing to do with him if anything goes wrong in the future.

So he stated the case to the third prince and asked him to make a decision.

The third prince sat on the grand teacher's chair, with a calm face, and asked with a funny smile: "Since when did ordinary people come to control the Taoist sect?"

One sentence made his position clear.

Jing Zhaoyi hurriedly bowed and apologized: "I am confused, please show mercy to Your Highness, I will let the Taoist priest go now."

The third prince snorted and did not respond, but he did not object.

Jing Zhaoyi waved his hand, signaling for Taoist Master Yijiang to be untied.

Shen Changyan spoke from the side: "Your Majesty once said that when the emperor breaks the law, he is guilty of the same crime as the common people, let alone the people in the Taoist sect?"

In a word, Jing Zhaoyi hastily signaled not to let go, and then looked at the third prince in embarrassment.

The third prince smiled slightly, and asked back unhurriedly: "Shizi Shen, do you have any personal grudges with Daoist Yijiang?"

Shen Changyan said seriously: "No, I don't know Daoist Yijiang. I just think that the case of the disappearance of a girl, including the sudden death of a young man in a brothel a few days ago, should be thoroughly investigated. Since this girl identified Daoist Yijiang, And if there is evidence, we should investigate it carefully. The Taoist sect is also on the territory of our dynasty. How can it be above the king's law when it is submitted to His Majesty?"
