The wife of the power minister's family

The moment Master Xuanyin's eyes met Xu Jing's, Xu Jing's heart seemed to be tightly grasped by an invisible hand. There seemed to be a sinister wind blowing behind her, and all her thoughts were in this moment. The absurd feeling that there is nothing to hide from anyone.

Her heart lifted slightly involuntarily. When she was looking at Master Xuanyin, Yao Shaoyin came over, coughed lightly and said, "When my wife and my daughter-in-law came here to pay homage, I came to pick them up. I met Master Xuanyin, but to my surprise, Master Xuanyin still remembers me, almost two years ago. I am truly worthy of Master Xuanyin, she has such a good memory.

I simply told Master Xuanyin that I was here to investigate the case. "

The implication of his words was that he originally thought that he and Master Xuanyin had only met once, and it happened a long time ago. Master Xuanyin must have forgotten him.

Unexpectedly, people still remember him well. He was probably recognized by Master Xuanyin not long after he entered Jingyuan Nunnery.

Now that their identity has been exposed, there is no point in hiding it anymore. They simply stated the purpose of their coming. Master Xuanyin was able to immediately recognize her as Madam Xu, who has recently become famous in Xijing. It is probably because Yao Shaoyin and She said it.

It was difficult for Yao Shaoyin to change into casual clothes in order not to reveal his identity.

Xu Jing's eyes flashed slightly and she said with a smile: "So that's it. Yao Shaoyin and I wanted to come in first to check out the situation. After all, this is a place where Buddhism is pure cultivation. To start a war all of a sudden would be disrespectful to the Buddha."

Master Xuanyin followed closely behind Yao Shaoyin and walked over. She smiled faintly and said, "Yao Shaoyin has an extraordinary bearing. I will never forget it. Yao Shaoyin just said that he came to our Jingyuan Nunnery to check on Jiang Sanniang and Sister-in-law Wu." Regarding the case, Jiang Sanniang and Sister-in-law Wu... also came to our nunnery to pay homage to the Buddha before. Knowing that they had an accident, the poor nun felt very uncomfortable."

After saying that, he performed a Buddhist salute and recited Amitabha.

Xu Jing looked at her coldly.

Master Xuanyin is tall but very thin, and her cheeks are even slightly sunken. If she hadn't moved freely and looked very good, Xu Jing might have suspected that she was suffering from some disease.

Not only did she look good, she looked very energetic for an elderly person, and her eyes were clearer and sharper than many young women.

Jingyuan Temple is not a small temple. Apart from Famen Temple, the most famous temple around Xijing is Jingyuan Temple. It can be said that there are many noble people who come here. Master Xuanyin can only remember one side. Maybe it was because of her good memory that she met Yao Shaoyin, but as soon as she saw Yao Shaoyin, she took the initiative to say hello to him, which was a bit weird.

If Master Xuanyin had to take the initiative to say hello and chat with every noble person who came here, she would probably not be able to finish the greeting.

What's more, she and Yao Shaoyin had only met once, so they couldn't be said to be very familiar with each other. Her act of taking the initiative to talk was even more intriguing.

Xu Jing watched Master Xuanyin in front of her finish reciting Amitabha, and then said softly: "I came to Jingyuan Nunnery just three days before Jiang Sanniang's death, and spent time alone with Master Xuanyin. Now Jiang Sanniang is gone. , Master Xuanyin seems to be quite calm."

Yao Shaoyin was startled and looked at Xu Jing in surprise.

Not long after he came in, he met Master Xuanyin, and he didn’t even have time to check anything!

Master Xuanyin had actually met Jiang Sanniang alone before? !

Moreover, Madam Xu suddenly attacked Master Xuanyin like this. Could it be that Madam Xu felt that Master Xuanyin was suspected of committing a crime?

Master Xuanyin looked at Xu Jing quietly, sighed softly, and said as if tolerating an unreasonable child: "When the poor nun has grown up to this age, he has seen too many life and death separations and human tragedies, let alone someone who has gone. , in the eyes of us monks, they just experienced a cycle of life and death and returned to where they should go." "Just experienced a cycle of life and death?"

Xu Jing couldn't help but sneer and said: "Then I dare to ask Master Tai, if a person dies with his eyes open and holds all the injustice, how can he enter the next reincarnation without any worries? In front of a murder case where human life is at stake, Master Tai's words are also That's too cold-blooded. Or, in Master's opinion, both Sister-in-law Wu and Jiang Sanniang deserve to be killed?"

Xu Jing rarely spoke like this with a gun and a stick. Yao Shaoyin couldn't help but look at Xu Jing in a daze, and Jiang Erlang's eyes darkened slightly when he looked at Xu Jing.

Only Master Xuanyin still looked at Xu Jing indifferently. Suddenly, she raised the corner of her mouth and smiled, but the smile showed a bit of coldness for no reason, "Mrs. Xu has been quite hostile to the poor nun since just now. I dare to ask, but why did the poor nun offend Madam Xu?"

Xu Jing couldn't help but sneer secretly.

This guy is clearly pretending to be confused!

From the moment she and Yao Shaoyin walked out of the main hall together, she felt a hint of provocation from the look in her eyes.

She guessed right, she approached Yao Shaoyin on purpose and revealed that Yao Shaoyin was here to investigate the case!

And she knew exactly what case they were here to investigate!

But she obviously looked confident, as if to say, just come and check, let's see what you can find out.

Xu Jing has seen many criminals, but it is rare for criminals with such good psychological qualities to be like this.

She simply said directly: "Sister-in-law Wu fell to her death from the Xinyi Inn in the east of Xijing City around the 20th of December. May I ask where Master Xuanyin was at that time?"

Master Xuanyin raised her eyebrows slightly, but still said calmly: "Mrs. Xu, are you doubting the nun? But the nun was translating a scripture a few days ago. The sutra is mysterious and complex. To translate the sutra, the nun needs to understand the mysterious meaning of the book first. , can it be translated into the most suitable text. These days, in order to comprehend the scriptures, the poor nun often holds a lamp and reads them at night, and often comprehends them until dawn.

On December 20th, if the nun remembered correctly, the nun spent the whole night meditating on the scriptures. Jinglian who was waiting outside the door at that time can testify to this. "

The past of Master Xuanyin can be described as inspirational. She became a monk at a very young age, read many scriptures, and taught herself Sanskrit. She was one of the few monks in Chu who could translate scriptures.

It was precisely because of this qualification that she became the host of Jingyuan Temple.

Xu Jing frowned slightly after hearing her words.

On the day Sister-in-law Wu had an accident, she happened to stay up all night translating scriptures? What a coincidence!

She still stared closely at Master Xuanyin in front of her and said, "So where was Master Xuanyin in the early morning of December 28th?"

Seeing that her face was still calm, Master Xuanyin didn't seem to be disturbed by the alibi she threw out. Her eyes couldn't help but reveal a bit of amusement, and she said meaningfully: "It's a coincidence that the poor nun also stayed up all night that day. After studying the scriptures, the person standing guard outside the nun’s door that day was Miao Lian, another young disciple of the nun.

If Madam Xu doesn’t believe the nun, the nun can call Jinglian and Miaolian over and ask Madam Xu and Yao Shaoyin to question them. "
