Chapter Twenty-Nine: He Returns in a Hurry
"Last rest!"
"Yes, Master. ”
"Lead the four donors to the back mountain where the Ten Thousand Bones Tiankeng is located. ”
"A few donors, please come here. The little monk bowed and led the four to the back mountain.
"Gu Jiu, you said that these four will be fine in the past. You see, if it weren't for your warning, we almost had an accident the first two times, and these few of them rushed over and wouldn't have lost their lives there. Mo Jinyan stood not far away and watched the abbot see Yang Butou dead, and couldn't help asking.
"As long as we don't get too close, the 100-meter sinkhole we first saw is located, but we only look at the edge to see it, and there is no danger at most. If it's too close...... It's up to their luck. Gu Mandong replied lightly, not optimistic about these people in his heart.
If the four of them can stop moving forward after seeing the situation from afar, and immediately send someone back to ask for support, maybe they can still be safe, but if these people have any disrespectful behavior, it is hanging.
As it turned out, Gu Mandon's guess was not wrong, and just half an hour later, Yang Butho, who was covered in blood, and the unconscious man was carried back by the warrior monk.
Although Yang Butou looked seriously injured, it was just a flesh wound, and most of the blood on his body was contaminated with others, and he was not worried about his life.
However, the indescribable prudence in Yang Butou's eyes showed that the severity of the situation was unexpected.
"Bother the abbot to take care of the servant, and I need to go back to Jingyang County immediately, this thing is too suspicious, and there are also officials who died because of this, and the sinkhole of ten thousand bones in the back mountain must not let people go, so as not to lose their lives in vain. "Yang Butho is cautious, please ask the abbot of the lonely sky.
"Lao Wei will definitely not let people trespass, Yang Zhutou, please rest assured. ”
With the permission of the abbot of the lonely sky, Yang Butou rode the horse away, and the entire White Horse Temple is now in addition to the monks in the temple, as well as the pilgrims who have been staying overnight, the pilgrims who came to the incense in the past heard that the back mountain is in addition to the murder case, they dare not stay for a long time, and leave early, so as not to cause trouble.
In the dead of night, there was a sound of horses' hooves and footsteps outside the temple gate, and the temple door was opened with the monk in the temple, and indeed the commander of the Jingyang County garrison came with a team of 200 people, including Yang Butou and some officials, not only that, but even Jiang Tianluo, who had just left to go to Jingyang County to do business, also came with him.
It's just that Commander Wang and the others looked for the abbot and went straight to the back mountain, but Jiang Tianluo was worried about Gu Mandong's safety and came on purpose.
When he saw that Gu Mandong was unhindered, he breathed a sigh of relief, after all, when he first heard that the White Horse Temple was shocked by the Ten Thousand Bones Sinkhole, and the two officials who went to check it were unfortunately killed, and when they found that this Ten Thousand Bones Sinkhole was a woman who was staying overnight and a pilgrim, Jiang Tianluo knew that the woman must be Gu Mandong.
It's just because she is the only woman who is staying in the White Horse Temple now, this is the reason why Jiang Tianluo hurried back.
"Mandon, you're fine. The sudden intrusion of Jiang Tianluo startled Gu Mandong, but he felt a slight warmth in his heart.
At least the cold-faced Jiang Tianluo didn't care about her nominal wife at all, otherwise she would not have appeared here at such an hour.
After getting out of bed, Gu Mandong walked up to Jiang Tianluo and poured him a cup of tea to quench his thirst.
"I'm fine. But you must be hungry when you came in a hurry, drink a glass of water first, and I'll ask Yuhuan to borrow a kitchen and get some food for you to eat. ”
"It's out of the way, I ate dry food before I came, and I'm not hungry. It's you, who were frightened today, but fortunately it's okay, otherwise I wouldn't be at ease. When you encounter such a terrible thing, I, as your husband, am not by your side, I ......"
Gu Mandong stretched out his hand and sat down opposite him.
"I'm fine, it's just a pile of dead man's bones, not too scared to frighten me too much. Gu Mandong smiled indifferently, but that indifferent attitude made Jiang Tianluo inexplicably angry, and reaching out to press Gu Mandong's shoulder made her gasp.
The right hand, which had been removed from the bandage to sleep comfortably, would be pressed so hard that it hurt so much that she almost thought she was going to dislocate it again.
"You, you're hurt. Jiang Tianluo immediately withdrew his hand, with a hint of self-blame in his eyes, and frowned slightly.
"It's okay, it's just dislocated. However, the matter of the Ten Thousand Bones Tiankeng in the White Horse Temple is really shocking, you haven't seen that scene, the white bones are innumerable, and it makes people feel chilled when they look at it. Who or what kind of power giant is so cruel that he actually kills so many people and buries their bones here. The man who died in vain may die even in the ground. Husband, will you take over this case and investigate it thoroughly, and return the innocence of those deceased?" Gu Mandong said as he spoke, and couldn't help but ask Jiang Tianluo like this.
It stands to reason that he is so interested in the case of the red coat, and he can investigate the truth without the instructions of Master Jia, and this case is no exception.
Jiang Tianluo was silent for a moment, and finally got up and looked at the dark night sky outside the window.
"This case has its own Jingyang County Order to investigate, if the circumstances are strict, it will also be thoroughly investigated by the Shangfeng Pingnan Mansion of Jingyang County, and it is not my turn to intervene. ”
"Well, you don't meddle in this case, why?" asked Gu Mandong involuntarily.
Since it was the county magistrate of Jingyang County who found Jiang Tianluo and came over, didn't he ask for help with something?
Now that this case is also happening, even if Jiang Tianluo intervenes, it's nothing, but why would he say that he won't meddle in this case?
"What kind of identity do you think I am, and I can arbitrarily meddle in any case? If it weren't for official business and I needed to come to Jingyang County, I would only accompany you to worship your father-in-law and mother-in-law in this White Horse Temple, and then go back directly. That could happen to you. ”
"Then aren't you curious at all?" Gu Mandong was unwilling to give up this case like this, and did not investigate it.
This is completely different from the Jiang Tianluo in her memory who absolutely had to find out clearly as long as it was an unjust case.
How can Jiang Tianluo now be able to leave the case alone?
"Not curious. This case is not under my control, you are just at the right time, tomorrow there will be a servant to talk to you, you directly explain the situation at that time, don't talk too much. Unless there is any accident, we will stay for a maximum of two days before we will have to leave the White Horse Temple. ”
"Where are you going?
"Nope. I don't worry about letting you go back alone with the two women in Yuhuan, so you go to Yujing with me. ”
"Yujing, what happened to you? Why did you come to Jingyang County and suddenly go to the capital?" Gu Mandong couldn't help but ask, this sudden turn of course was too unexpected.
"Don't worry, just take care of the little things and go home. Jiang Tianluo replied lightly, but the cautious look that flashed in his eyes didn't seem like a trivial matter at all.
