Chapter 42: Master Mingzhen
In the front yard, in the meditation room.
The thirteen-year-old little novice Nesu was curled up in the corner, her petite body still trembling.
According to Venerable De Rong, Nie Su was ordained at Lingbao Monastery at the beginning of the year.
She is not yet an official monk, so she does not have a Dharma name. On weekdays, she cleans the temple and the temple.
This status, I'm afraid that even the pyrotechnics can't compare.
When Di Renjie came over, Yang Yizhi had already finished asking.
"She cleans the temple every morning, but she got up early today, so she ......"
Di Renjie nodded, walked up to Nie Su, and squatted down.
"Little Master, you just said that you got up early today?"
His smile was gentle.
Coupled with his dignified appearance, Nie Su suddenly felt a lot more stable when he saw him, so he nodded lightly.
Di Renjie said: "Then can you tell me why you got up early today?" ”
"Last night, there was a cat barking in the backyard all the time."
"Cat meow?"
"Well, it's loud, and it's been a long time.
I live next to the kitchen, so I hear it very clearly, and I'm annoyed. ”
"So, you got up early in the morning?"
"Yes."
Di Renjie stretched out his hand, rubbed her head, and stood up.
"How's the site going?"
"Fortunately, there are already some ideas.
However, the body has not yet been examined, so I am not sure. ”
"I'm afraid it's not that easy to examine the body."
"Also, she was a beauty in front of the first emperor, and she needs to have Zongzheng Temple to speak, right?"
Yang Yizhi nodded, smiling a little helplessly.
When it comes to the royal family, there will be a lot of trouble. Even if the case will eventually fall on the head of Chang'an County, many institutions will be involved. Not to mention anything else, if ordinary people die, it's good to send a servant to examine the corpse. But Master Minghui is a beauty who was originally a four-grade woman. Only this identity, an ordinary work, has no qualifications to examine the corpse at all.
"Then put it away first, and wait for Zongzheng Temple's reply."
"That's all there is to it."
Di Renjie and Yang Yizhi were talking and walked outside the house.
Suddenly, he stopped again, turned his head to look at Nie Su and said, "Little Master, there is one more thing, have you ever seen a black cat next to Master Mingkong?" ”
Nie Su was stunned for a moment, and then shook his head.
"I haven't seen it."
"Poor Ni has seen it."
Before Nie Su could finish speaking, a voice came from outside the house.
Di Renjie looked back and saw a monk and nun standing at the door of the meditation room.
"This is Master Mingzhen."
"Oh, I've seen the mage."
"What are you going to do with Mingkong?"
"What do you mean by mage?"
"Mingkong is not a murderer, she must have been wronged."
"Oh? What do you mean by that? ”
"Mingkong is a kind person, has wisdom roots, and is the most attentive to the practice of Buddhism on weekdays.
There are many mages in the temple, but she is the only one who works hard. Such a person is a murderer? The poor nun does not believe, absolutely does not believe. ”
Yang Yizhi nodded, "Then in the opinion of the mage, who will be the murderer?" ”
"The poor nun doesn't know."
"Then can the mage tell me what is the relationship between mage Mingkong and mage Minghui on weekdays?"
"Normally...... Venerable Minghui is not a Buddha with a high nature, nor does she have any wisdom roots, and she does not abide by the rules, so it is rare to see her attending meditation and worshiping the Buddha and reviewing her homework. Mingkong had said that she had spoken twice, once he saw her eating and drinking, and asked the abbot to punish her.
After that time, Master Minghui relented a lot.
But the relationship between the two also deteriorated, and even if they met on weekdays, they would not speak.
In fact, the relationship between Master Mingkong and most of the mages is not very good, so he lives alone in the back. ”
"I see."
Yang Yizhi took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Then I will be clear."
The identity of the Mingkong mage, I think the mage is also clear. Now, she is the biggest suspect, so she has to be held in Chang'an Prison and wait for the fate of Zongzheng Temple. Until then, she will always be in Chang'an Prison, and no one will come to embarrass her. ”
"That's good, poor ni believes that she is innocent."
"Hehe, I hope so."
Yang Yizhi and Di Renjie said goodbye to Master Mingzhen and walked out of the meditation room.
"Lang Jun, why don't you send it?"
Di Renjie was slightly stunned, and then said: "Oh, I suddenly remembered something, so I was distracted." ”
"What, what do you see?"
"Not yet, but I also believe what Master Mingzhen said, Master Mingkong is not a murderer."
As he spoke, he glanced at the meditation room out of the corner of his eye.
Inside the door of the meditation room, there seemed to be a figure shaking for a while, and there was no movement.
"Di went to meet the county gentleman and implored him to take over the case.
I don't believe it, how can such a good person as a mage kill someone? I was at the scene just now, and I also found some clues, and when I went back, I went back to the team leader to explain it in detail. ”
"That's good."
Yang Yizhi nodded again and again, "In that case, let's go first." ”
"Good!"
Di Renjie and Yang Yizhi took the people away.
Master Minghui's corpse was also retracted.
As for how to deal with it, it must wait for the meaning of Soshoji Temple. If Zongzheng Temple says that Chang'an County is responsible for the case, then the body will be sent to Chang'an County. However, the post-mortem will be carried out by selecting someone from the palace to take over.
In short, it's complicated.
"Yang Bantou, thank you this time."
"Lang Jun laughed, maybe it won't be long before you take care of it."
"Haha, then I'll go back first, and we'll see you later."
"See you later!"
The two broke up on Cross Street, and Yang Yizhi left Chongdefang with people and returned to the county office.
And Di Renjie returned to Jidu Lane and told Liu Niangzi what he saw and heard.
"Lang Jun, according to what you said, the mage is not a murderer?"
"Absolutely not."
"And who is that?"
Di Renjie was silent.
After a long time, he smiled bitterly and said, "Big lady, you can't stump me."
I don't think the mage is the murderer, but the problem is, I don't have proof. And judging from the current situation, the evidence is not in favor of the mage. Moreover, the mage was born in the palace and was once a top five talent in the first emperor's body. As for the deceased, it is a four-grade beauty...... This involves anyone who needs to go through Zongshoji Temple. What's more, murder is now involved.
I plan to go to the county government office in a while to find out the tone of the county gentleman.
Don't worry, if this case ends up in Chang'an County, I will ask the county gentleman to take over the case. ”
Hong Liang listened to it, and his face suddenly changed greatly.
And Liu Niangzi breathed a sigh of relief and said softly: "But in this way, wouldn't it be difficult to delay your schoolwork again?" ”
"Hehe, don't be embarrassed!"
Di Renjie's answer was categorical.
Liu Niangzi's face also softened, and she suddenly slapped on the table.
The black cat, which was originally shrunk into a ball and sleeping beside Liu Niangzi, was suddenly awakened and opened its eyes.
"Damn Ami, it's useless when it comes to a critical moment.
For a pair of crossbows, there was no news. If he's here, he might be able to help you out. ”
Di Renjie said: "The eldest lady is going to be angry, and Ami is now being sent by Danyang County, which is also a blessing." If you can't say that you can soar in the future, you don't have to be too angry. Besides, it's hard to say who this case will end up on. ”
"How can I not be angry? If it hadn't been for the help of the teacher, my mother and I would have died a long time ago.
Hateful, hateful, hateful! ”
Liu Niangzi said three hateful in a row, but I don't know whether to say that Su Dawei is hateful, or that the murderer is hateful.
She thought for a while and said, "If it falls on Lang Jun's head at this time, although Ami is not at home, Lang Jun can ask Zhou Liang for help."
Erlang and Ami are friends in the general corner, and there are many doors in Chang'an City, so they will definitely be able to help. ”
Di Renjie heard this and laughed.
"Even if the eldest lady doesn't say it, I'll go find Erlang."
The day is already bright.
The sky is clear and cloudless.
Chang'an City, as noisy and lively as usual.
The streets are full of pedestrians, giving it the look of an international city.
"Lang Jun, do you really want to care about this?"
Di Renjie and Hong Liang walked on the street, and Hong Liang couldn't help muttering: "It's not easy to get the understanding of the doctors, if you miss class again, it will definitely make the doctors even more dissatisfied." Also, this matter has nothing to do with us. You don't know the mage either, so you can't get involved just because she helped the eldest lady, it won't do you any good. ”
"Nonsense, the eldest husband has something to do and something not to do, is it possible for me to watch the mage being framed?"
"Are you so sure she's innocent?"
"Of course I'm sure."
Loud, suddenly stopped.
Di Renjie looked at him suspiciously, and said, "Why don't you leave?" ”
"Lang Jun, you're not normal."
"You're not normal!"
When Di Renjie heard this, he was furious.
Hong Liang frowned, looked Di Renjie up and down, and looked Di Renjie's heart with bursts of hair.
"What are you looking at?"
"Lang Jun, you have peach blossoms on your face, and the red luan stars move ......"
"Bah, you idiot, when did you learn to read faces? Sling the bull. ”
Hong Liang's expression was solemn, and his tone was extremely serious, "I didn't talk nonsense, Lang Jun, you are not ......"
"Shut up!"
Di Renjie's face changed, and he scolded sharply.
Hong Liang took a deep breath and said with a wry smile: "Sure enough, I know!" ”
"What do you know?"
"You're always in a daze in front of the window when you're fine, and you can walk from the main street every day, but you have to take a detour to the back door.
Lang Jun, you are dying! That's the person in front of the first emperor, don't say it's you, even the current saint doesn't dare to offend. There are many good women in the world, how can you ...... Don't be stupid, it's a crime to kill your head. ”
Di Renjie trembled in his heart.
However, he still made a casual expression and said forcefully: "Hong Liang, I don't understand what you are talking nonsense at all." ”
"Lang Jun, you understand, you know better than anyone else."
Di Renjie was silent.
After a moment, he said softly, "Hong Liang, I do understand very well.
That's why I can't sit idly by and watch the mage being framed...... Am I not better than you who she is? Well, I'll admit, I'm a bit ...... But I also know that it can't be. But I'm willing to look at her from afar and admire her. When she's happy, I'm happy; When she's sad, I'm sad; She's in trouble, and I'm willing to help her. This has nothing to do with male and female love, I even know that in this life, neither I nor her can possibly.
But, I do! ”
Speaking of this, Di Renjie sighed.
Suddenly, he smiled bitterly: "I don't know why, anyway, from the first time I saw her, I was willing." ”
"Hong Liang, you go back to Taiyuan.
This matter has nothing to do with you, and I don't know what the outcome will be in the end.
A beauty, a talent...... To say that this is a simple homicide? Hehe, I won't believe it even if I die. But the more this happens, the more it shows that mages are dangerous now. I will take care of this matter alone, and you should not ask about it again. ”
Hong Liang's face also changed.
He was very excited, and grabbed Di Renjie's arm with one hand.
"Lang Jun, what do you mean by this?
Hong Liang is useless, but he knows how to write the word loyalty.
I have been with you since I was a child. When you were in Taiyuan, I didn't accompany you to be beaten in that accident? Isn't it dangerous this time? Since you have made your decision, then I will accompany you. If you are not afraid of death, am I afraid of death? ”
Di Renjie's cheeks twitched slightly.
He was very moved in his heart, but he shouted in a low voice: "Hong Liang, let go, what kind of system." ”
Hong Liang let go of his hand and looked around.
I saw that many people stopped and pointed at the two of them.
"Hurry up, go quickly, talk next time you speak, Hugh is so close, it's just out of place."
Di Renjie glared at Hong Liang fiercely and strode away.
Hong Liang was stunned for a moment, hurriedly followed, and said as he walked: "Lang Jun go slowly, wait for me." ”
It's good that he doesn't shout, this shout...... Hehe, but Di Renjie sped up his pace and trotted all the way straight to the county office.
