Tang Dynasty detective

Chapter 358

Li Canghai chuckled and said, "I just want to see if you really have the potential to be a detective. Now it seems that you are really not bad."

Di Qing rolled his eyes at him, and then carefully compared the lists. After a while, she gasped in surprise: "Cang Hai, why is there a name missing from the official list?"

Li Canghai said: "This is because that person is no longer in the world. A monk can be exempted from taxes and corvees with a monk's certificate. Therefore, after his death, the imperial court will revoke his name to prevent it from being used by criminals. However, most monasteries will keep their names for worship."

Di Qing suddenly realized and nodded. She looked at the list and said, "So that's the case, but how do you know that this Xuanzhen is someone who is closely related to the murderer? After all, she is no longer alive!"

Li Canghai glanced at the two brothers of the Lu family who were obviously emotionally fluctuating, and said deeply: "It is because of this that I am sure. If the woman was alive, the murderer would not have become like this."

Lu Mengtong clenched his fists tightly. He seemed to have thought of something, and there was a rare tenderness in his eyes.

But Lu Jitong shook his head and sighed.

"So, you followed Xuanzhen's clue and found out the murderer's identity?" Di Qing pondered.

Li Canghai nodded, and said indifferently: "Xuanzhen escaped into Buddhism 13 years ago, and died of illness in Guanyin Nunnery the following year. What's interesting is that before she escaped into Buddhism, she was the concubine of the head of the Lu family."

Everyone was amazed, Tao Youran was also stunned, but he nodded immediately and said: "I have heard about this matter. It is said that Brother Lu's concubine did something shameful, but Brother Lu And he was reluctant to divorce her, so he forced her to escape into Buddhism."

"But what does this have to do with him?" Di Qing wrinkled her nose, pointed at Lu Mengtong, and asked doubtfully.

Li Canghai took a deep look at Lu Mengtong, and said in a deep voice, "Because that shady matter has something to do with him."

Lu Mengtong's veins throbbed suddenly, his eyes flickered with crazy anger, and he roared in a low voice: "Shut up! Shut up!"

Lu Mengtong struggled vigorously, but the iron chain on his body was wrapped six times!

In addition, Di Qing sealed the vital points all over his body, no matter how much he struggled, it was all in vain.

Everyone held their breath and concentrated, feeling suspicious in their hearts. Could it be that the county magistrate even knew about the scandal of the Lu family more than ten years ago?This is too amazing!

Tao Youran frowned. He has been in Zhengyang City for so many years, and he has a close relationship with the Lu family. He has never known what the Lu family's scandal is. How long has it been since the county magistrate came to Zhengyang County? , It's incredible that even these can be found out.

"Twenty years ago, Yang, the wife of the head of the Lu family, gave birth to twin sons. The eldest son was disabled when he was born. The head of the Lu family was displeased, so he wanted to abandon him. Thanks to my concubine Xuanzhen's plea, Lu The head of the family sent him to Nanhua Temple, because although the eldest son has a name and surname, it is difficult to be orthodox, and the Lu family even declared that there is only one son."

"How can there be such a cruel father in the world? He doesn't even want his own son?"

"That's right, it's just that there are some disabilities, and it's not a monstrous evildoer, this old man Lu is too cruel."

After hearing Li Canghai finished speaking, everyone began to curse among themselves.

"Shh, be quiet, listen to the adults."

Li Canghai sighed, and continued: "Lv Mengtong grew up in Nanhua Temple since he was a child, but occasionally he would return to Lu's house. The young Lu Mengtong didn't know that he was an abandoned child, but felt left out. Fortunately, whenever he When he returns to Lu's house, Xuanzhen will always be with him. It makes him feel that there are still people in this world who care about him, but..."

Speaking of this, Li Canghai paused, shook his head, and sighed: "However, when he was seven years old, he accidentally saw Xuanzhen's body, and that touch of his bellyband changed his life."

"Shut up! You are not allowed to insult Xuanzhen!" Lu Mengtong yelled at Li Canghai with his eyes wide open.

Li Canghai took a deep look at him, and sneered unceremoniously: "I let the official tell the secret hidden in my heart, are you panicked? If you don't let the official say it, I will tell it." !"

"Since then, you have been full of curiosity about women's bodies, and Xuanzhen is a cardamom youth, and he also likes you very much, so you have done something that goes against the rules and ethics! Is it right?" Li Canghai raised his eyebrows. Pick, the voice rose suddenly, and shouted sharply.

Everyone was taken aback and whispered to each other.

"A seven-year-old child and a woman? This...how is this possible?"

"That's right, besides, in terms of seniority, that concubine is also his stepmother, how could she do such a scandal?
"That concubine even seduces a seven-year-old child, she must be a vixen, if it were me, I would drive her out of the house too!"

The voices of everyone's discussion came to Lu Mengtong's ears, but it seemed as if his scales had been exposed, and he became furious immediately.

"Shut up! You are not allowed to insult Xuanzhen! Otherwise, I will kill you!" Lu Mengtong roared with an almost hideous expression.

Li Canghai frowned and stared at Lu Mengtong closely. Knowing that the fire was almost ready, he only needed to add another fire. After a while, the head of the Lu family discovered the infidelity between you. In a fit of anger, he hurt your lifeblood, and Xuanzhen was forced to escape into Buddhism. You witnessed Xuanzhen's hair shaved into a nun, But you didn't expect that in less than a year, Xuanzhen's soul would return to the sky, and the strands of long hair that fell would become your memory of her, didn't you?"

"No, no! I'll say it again, you are not allowed to insult Xuanzhen!" Lu Mengtong's forehead was throbbing with veins, and he roared angrily, like a ferocious beast, wishing to tear Li Canghai to pieces on the spot.

Li Canghai snorted coldly, and shouted sharply: "In your heart, you always want to get Xuanzhen, but at the same time you are afraid. So even though Xuanzhen has long since died, this obsession has always lingered on you, making you gradually become Your mind is distorted! You started to plunder girls, vent your animal nature on them, and you collected their hair, just to satisfy your perverted psychology!"

"You nonsense! I'm going to kill you, kill you!" Lu Mengtong roared crazily as if he had lost his reason.

"Am I talking nonsense? Where did I say it wrong?" Li Canghai said coldly: "Speaking of which, Xuanzhen is also your stepmother, but you have unreasonable thoughts about her, and you are simply inferior to a beast!"

"I...I didn't!" Lu Mengtong suddenly roared, and he roared with a grim face: "All this is the fault of that old man! He threw me into the Taoist temple. I don't blame him, but he shouldn't be like that Treat Xuanzhen!"

"How does he treat Xuanzhen?" Knowing that the time is right, Li Canghai asked sharply.
