There are many monks in the Great Bright Temple, but because they focus on Buddhism and do not set foot in the rivers and lakes, there are not many monks who practice martial arts in the Great Bright Temple. There are not many who have practiced what kind of flying flower palms. Of course, it is necessary to exclude the situation that someone is deeply hidden. However, the emperor personally ordered that the matter to be investigated should not be afraid of the master mobilizing the people, and all the monks pulled down the square in front of the main hall to check one by one. Have you ever practiced martial arts, how tall you are, whether you have any injuries on your body, all suspicious ones will be deducted first.

Master Nianyuan was a little helpless to let the guards finish the inspection, looked at Xiao Qianye and He Wenli who were not far away and commanded everyone to check carefully, looked at Wei Junmo and Nangong Mo next to him and asked: Do you really think that you can find the murderer in this way?

Wei Junmo asked calmly: What other ways do you have?

Nian Yuan was silent for a long time, and sighed: No.

What was Flawless thinking? Wei Junmo looked down at Nangong Mo, who was leaning on it thoughtfully, and asked. Nangong Mo frowned and said: You say... Why did the murderer kill that warrior monk and Master Kongming?

Nian Yuandao: Killing Du Hong should be to extinguish the mouth, as for the nephew of the empty master... It was probably an accident. But since this is the case, the murderer is naturally someone who Kong Ming knows.

Nangong Mo asked: Is Master Nianyuan familiar with the disciples in the temple?

Nian Yuan shook his head and said: The little monk has been practicing with his family teacher since he was a child, and after his family teacher passed away, he lived in the mountain behind the Great Light Temple. The disciples in the temple are only familiar with one uncle and a few brothers and nephews. Nianyuan's seniority in the Great Guangming Temple is too high, and even the current abbot Master Kongru is two generations behind him, and the juniors below naturally have no intersection.

Could it be that the other party has already escaped? Nangong Mo turned around and asked Wei Junmo. Wei Junmo shook his head and said: No, there are heavy guards in the Great Light Temple and the entire vicinity of Ziyun Mountain. It's still possible at night, but it's not easy to escape in broad daylight. The guards brought out by the palace are not wine bags and rice bags, and there are few people in this world who can run out from under their noses when they want to run out from under their noses.

Nangong Mo nodded, and glanced at the people who were still busy not far away: I'll go and see Xi'er.

Wei Junmo nodded and followed Nangong Mo to the guest house. Not only the monks in the temple, but also the pilgrims in the guest courtyard were also the objects of their suspicion.

Nian Yuan watched the two leave, looked at the monks who were still being inspected in front of him and the solemn and solemn square, which no longer had the quiet and peaceful Buddha Gate in the past, and sighed.

Amitabha.

When Nangong Mo arrived at the guest house, Qin Xi was sitting at the window in a daze, because of this sudden change, although he was not panicked, Qin Xi's spirit also seemed a little not good. Seeing Nangong Mo come in, he showed a shallow smile and said, "Mo'er, why are you here?"

Nangong Mo said with a smile: Come over with Jun Mo to do something, and come to see you by the way. Are you okay?

Qin Xi shook his head and said with a smile: With the medicine you gave me, I feel much more comfortable these days. Nangong Modao: You still have to take good care of it, I see that your face is not very good. Qin Xi sighed a little helplessly and said: Someone suddenly came to search the yard in the middle of the night last night, and he didn't sleep well.

The little girl who came in with tea said with an unhappy face: But isn't it, these monks of Daguang Temple are really rude. Big night, our young lady......

Shut up. Qin Xi said in a deep voice, I heard that something extremely important had been lost in the temple, and it was inevitable that they would be anxious.

The little girl muttered: Even if you are in a hurry, you can't do this, can our Qin family steal anything from them? It's really a dog's eye......

Maybe it's really important. Qin Xi waved her hand to let the little girl step back, raised her head and smiled bitterly at Nangong Mo: This girl is not sensible... Big brother didn't pick me up this morning, and I guessed it... Something really happened in the temple, right? Nangong Mo nodded slightly and said: The Buddhist scriptures enshrined in the Great Guangming Temple have been stolen.

Sutra? Is it the Buddhist scripture copied by the first queen? Qin Xi asked.

You know that too? Nangong Mo raised his eyebrows.

Qin Xi smiled: I still saw it at noon yesterday?

Nangong Mo raised his eyebrows, and Qin Xi said: Yesterday at noon, my eldest brother accompanied me to the temple to offer incense. When Master Kongru heard that I was not in good health, he took out the Buddhist scriptures enshrined in front of the Buddha and gave me a lecture. Although I couldn't contact it in person, I saw that there was a phoenix-patterned gold flower note for the royal family on the cover, and the name of the former queen was inscribed below, so I asked a few words out of curiosity. Sure enough, the relics of the queen's mother were lost, no wonder......

Was there anything weird about last night? Nangong Mo asked.

Qin Xi shook his head and said: The guest house is not close to the Daxiong Treasure Palace, even if there is any sound, we can't hear it here. There are not many pilgrims on the mountain now, and I didn't hear any movement next door in the courtyard last night.

Nangong Mo nodded, but he was not disappointed. The chances of stealing things in the guest house are not very large, after all, most of the people who can live here are dignitaries with some status. If you are an outsider, it is easy to be suspicious. If the pilgrims who live in the temple are expelled, then only the monks in the temple or the thieves who come from outside the temple will be discharged. Judging from the current situation, it is possible that the people in the temple are guarding and stealing by themselves.

After comforting Qin Xi for a few words, Nangong Mo got up and said goodbye. Walking out of the courtyard, Wei Junmo was already waiting at the door. Looking at Wei Junmo's expression, he also knew that he didn't get anything like her. Nangong Mo sighed for me and said: Go back and see what news there is.

Before returning to the main hall, Xiao Qianye and He Wenli still didn't find anyone with a wound on their arms. But after investigation, it was found that there was one less monk called Duxu in the temple. So all the guards and the servants brought by He Wenli began to search for the missing people everywhere in the temple, inside and outside Ziyun Mountain. At the same time, Xiao Qianye and Wei Junmo received the emperor's decree and ordered the two to return to the palace immediately, so the two had to leave He Wenli alone to continue investigating the case and return to Jinling City. Nangong Mo also took the initiative to stay and help, Wei Junmo thought for a moment and agreed to Nangong Mo's request, and got a grateful glance from He Wenli. He still has a bit of a sense of trembling now, and he is too secure to have a strong princess.

In the palace

Chen Wei Jun Mo knocked to see His Majesty.

The grandson knocked on the emperor's grandfather in a thousand nights.

Wei Junmo and Xiao Qianye knelt down in unison. The emperor waved his hand and said: Get up, have the thieves caught it?

Xiao Qianye stepped forward and told him what happened in the Great Guangming Temple in the afternoon, and the emperor's face suddenly changed, and he said angrily: So... You didn't find anything! And let the murderer kill someone, kill someone, and slip away from you?! Xiao Qianye hurriedly lowered his head, his grandson was incompetent.

Wei Junmo lowered his eyes and was silent.

The emperor snorted lightly, looked at Wei Junmo, who looked like usual, with a hint of excitement flashing in his eyes, and asked, "Jun Mo, what do you say?" Wei Junmo said: The murderer is still in the temple, but... Probably dead.

He's dead? The emperor raised his eyebrows and said: So, there is another murderer behind the scenes? In that case, do you dare to leave Nangong girl in the temple? Aren't you afraid that she will be in danger?

This is just the minister's speculation. Even if the murderer is in the temple, he will not provoke the flawless unless he has to. Wei Junmo said indifferently, there are not many people who can beat Flawless, and most people with higher martial arts than Flawless will be able to manage to leave after succeeding. The other party has made so much trouble, obviously because of its lack of strength.

The emperor snorted coldly: "I don't care if you guess or it's true, in short, you must catch the people related to this matter and retrieve the queen's scriptures intact.

Wei Junmo frowned, looked at the emperor and didn't speak. The emperor said angrily: If you have something to say, you can say it directly.

Wei Junmo said: The scriptures of the first queen did not cause the master to steal, let alone such a painstaking practice.

Licentious! The emperor is displeased, you mean that the empress's things are worthless.

Wei Junmo said lightly: Weichen doesn't dare. But the tone and expression are more like saying: That's what I mean.

The emperor was silent for a long time before he sighed and said, "Okay... It doesn't hurt to sue you. That scripture was not only copied by the empress herself, but also contained a very important secret of the royal family and the Great Xia Dynasty. I originally planned to bring it to the Imperial Tomb, but after a hundred years, no one would know, who would know...... Grandfather, does anyone know this secret? Xiao Qianye asked, looking at Wei Junmo with a somewhat complicated expression. On the one hand, I admired him for daring to talk to my grandfather like this, and on the other hand, I was a little jealous. The emperor said: What kind of secret is it for people to know? But...... It cannot be ruled out that some people with ill intentions discovered this secret in advance. After all... Jun Mo is right, if it is just a scripture, not many people will be interested in it. Even if you are interested, you will not risk the crime of killing your head to steal. To put it this way... First of all, there was a problem in the palace, and the scriptures and books have been enshrined in the Great Light Temple for so long, but there has never been a problem. Wei Junmo silently looked at the emperor who was talking to himself: he felt that it was a problem for such an important thing to be enshrined in the Great Guangming Temple. A thousand nights, Jun Mo. The emperor said in a deep voice. At. At. Check it out for me immediately, and check everyone in the palace! Those who dare to eat inside and outside will be killed! The emperor's words were full of iron-blooded murderous aura, which made people's hearts shock. The Son of Heaven was furious, and the blood flowed and drifted. His Majesty the Emperor has never been a person who does not dare to kill. Xiao Qianye's heart moved, and he said loudly: Grandson obeys the order. Obey the order.

In a vacant meditation room in the Great Bright Temple, He Wenli was quickly flipping through the files and pamphlets in front of him that could almost bury most of his body. Nangong Mo sat leisurely and watched his busy appearance, although Lord He didn't look very reliable, but when he sat down to browse the file, he finally looked like a scholar. After a while, He Wenli finally raised his head and glanced at her leisurely appearance, and couldn't help but jump violently. wiped his face and said: Princess, are you bored? OK? Nangong Mo hesitated.

He Wenli lamented, would you rather sit there in a daze than come over and help me look at these things? In that case, why do you want to stay here and not go back with Wei Shizi? Nangong Mo shrugged and said: How difficult is it to come out, why are you going back so early? Let alone... Aren't you afraid? The lord of this county will stay and protect you. Who?! Who said I was scared?! He Wenli couldn't help but swallow his saliva and shouted loudly.

Nangong Mo raised his eyes, raised his hand and rubbed his ears, his voice did not mean that he was justified, and he was careful to summon the murderer.

The look on He Wenli's face froze, and he opened his mouth several times without speaking. I had to sit down silently, touch my nose and say: Actually... I'm not usually such a timid person. Yes, I understand. Don't you often brush shoulders with murderers?

I didn't feel comforted at all. County Lord, you say, is the murderer really still in the temple? He Wenli was a little worried, if the murderer really ran away with the scriptures, they would be in big trouble.

Nangong Mo asked: Do you mean the person who stole the scriptures or the person who killed Master Kongming?

He Wenli said: Is there any difference?

Nangong Modao: The person who steals the scriptures is not necessarily the one who kills the empty Ming, and the one who kills the empty Ming is not necessarily the one who steals the scriptures. Moreover, the scriptures were stolen last night, although as soon as the scriptures were found to be stolen, the whole temple was under martial law, but... Who knows how long it was before the book was stolen and discovered? Other than that... Who really knows when the books were stolen?

He Wenli hissed and gasped, and said, "Does the county lord suspect that the scriptures were stolen long ago?" What happened last night was just a suspicion?

Nangong Mo shook his head and said, "No, at least the scriptures were indeed still in the main hall before yesterday afternoon." That... Arrest and interrogate all those who had entered the Mahavira Hall yesterday afternoon. The Daxiong Treasure Hall is not something that anyone can enter, right? He Wenli said in a deep voice. Nangong Mo shrugged, disappreciated, and said, "You can try it."

He Wenli thought about it, shook his head and said: It's better to find this place first... What is it? Find him... There's always some clue to be asked. Belch... It's not like it's going to run away, is it? Lord He, are you doubting the strength of the Ouchi Guards? …… The county lord of Qiyu, Lord He, found a corpse behind the temple. Outside the door, someone hurriedly came in and said.

Nangong Mo and He Wenli glanced at each other, got up and walked outside.

It was already dark outside, and by the time the two of them arrived at the place where the body was found, the guards had already fenced it off. The only people present at the Great Light Temple were the empty abbot and the two little novices. The corpse lying on the ground was a young monk in his twenties, and at a glance he could see a large blood-stained mark on his arm. Only by this time the blood had dried up and was brown in the firelight. Is this a degree of emptiness? He Wenli asked.

The abbot recited the Buddha's name and said in a low voice: It is the degree of emptiness. How was it discovered? This place is the place where firewood is piled up behind the kitchen where the disciples in the temple cook. They had also checked before and found no body.

The two little novices beside him turned pale with fright, and said tremblingly: If you reply to the donor's words, it is... It was when we were dragging firewood, and suddenly... Fell from above. The firewood from the demolition of the house was piled high and almost touched the roof, and if there was a person hiding in it, it was indeed not easy to find. But again, this is not something that can be hidden if you want to, it is obviously prepared by someone in advance. It's just that when he was dragged out from below by two little novices who came to fetch firewood, he accidentally dragged a piece of it and fell off.

The work brought by He Wenli was conducting an autopsy, and he raised his head and said to the two of them: Lord He, the county lord, was poisoned to death. Do you know what poison it is? He Wenli asked.

Arsenic. Arsenic?

He nodded, it was arsenic sold in ordinary pharmacies. Check it out. Jinling or nearby places have to be checked. No matter which pharmacy sells arsenic, there must be a record. He Wenli waved his hand. Be.

Nangong Mo squatted beside the corpse and observed carefully. Seeing her like this, He Wenli simply squatted down and asked: Did you find anything?

Nangong Mo said in a low voice: It's been about two and a half hours since I died, most of the arsenic sold in the pharmacy is used for medicine or poison rats or something, the toxicity is very general, unless you take it in large doses, it should take at least two hours to eat and use the poison to the onset of poison and death. He had been dead for at least an hour and a half. But you met him two hours ago, which means that he died soon after leaving. Therefore... The reason why he didn't kill you may not be because he was afraid that someone would come, but because he was already poisoned at the time and had no ability to kill you. Suicide or poisoning? He Wenli was a little disappointed. glanced at Nangong Mo and asked quietly: County Lord, how do you know so much?

Nangong Mo raised his eyebrows and said sympathetically: First, I have studied medicine. Second, people who are too curious do not live long.

He Wenli shrunk his neck and rolled to the side roundly.

Nangong Mo clapped his hands and stood up, ready to turn around and leave. He Wenli hurriedly chased after him and said, "County Lord, where are you going?" Nangong Mo said in surprise: Go and rest. Didn't the man find it? Although already dead. But what now?

Nangong Mo blinked, isn't this your business? You are Ying Tianfu Yin, how would I know?

Lord He, who watched the county lord of Xingcheng leave, couldn't help but raise his hand and slap it his head, my brain.

The county lord of Star City, who was walking in the direction of the guest house, looked at the bright moon hanging high in the sky, and whispered in a low voice: Speaking of which, he didn't come to get involved in such a big thing, no wonder I think something is missing. Could it be that he was angry with Wei Junmo and injured himself?

Early in the morning, Nangong Mo opened his eyes and saw Wei Junmo sitting on the edge of the bed, looking at him gently. couldn't help but smile lightly, she was really used to and trusted this person, and she didn't even notice when he appeared in her room.

Why so early? Glancing out the window, the sky outside the window was just white, and it was said that the city gate had not yet been opened. Wei Junmo raised his hand and shook a gold medal in his hand and said: "Your Majesty is given, you can enter and exit the city gate at any time." Nangong Mo raised his eyebrows and said: It seems that His Majesty really attaches great importance to this matter.

Wei Junmo nodded and told Nangong Mo the emperor's words. After hearing this, Nangong Mo's eyes widened in shock, and he even forgot to sit on the bed directly when he was going to get up: What contains royal secrets is placed in the Great Light Temple? How did His Majesty's brain circuitry grow?

Although he didn't understand what the brain circuit was, Wei Junmo could also understand what Nangong Mo meant. glanced at her disapprovingly, and did not comment on her majesty indiscriminately. Nangong Mo rolled his eyes, of course he just said this in front of you. Don't pretend that you are filial and loyal to the emperor.

So, you didn't come back to the Great Bright Temple last night, just tossed in the palace? Nangong Mo asked.

Wei Junmo corrected seriously: It is the king of Yuejun who is tossing, and I am handling the case.

Nangong Mo raised his eyebrows, and Wei Junmo said: From yesterday afternoon to evening, a total of seven or eight hundred people in the palace were put in prison. Thereinto... Including one noble concubine and three low-level concubines. Today, at least half of them will be on the ground.

Nangong Mo knew that eighty percent of these people were spies planted in the palace by various forces, and the killing of these people was equivalent to cutting off the eyes and ears of all parties in the palace. It's an offending errand. So... The meaning of the emperor's majesty should be that you accompany Xiao Qianye to top the cylinder, right? Is it really okay that you just ran away? Although His Majesty the Emperor was uneasy and kind, how did that sentence come about: The king wants the minister to die, and the minister has to die. What's more, it's just to help the emperor's eldest grandson top a cylinder? In the eyes of the royal family, I am afraid that I still feel: I use you to look up to you, trust you, and you should be grateful to Dade. It's a pity that Wei Shizi is obviously the kind of human being who wants the king to die, but the minister is not dead, and the emperor's wishful thinking can't work.

Wei Shizi said that although this son doesn't like to talk, he is a matter of Xiao Qianye's minutes.

Wei Shizi didn't think so, it was King Yue Jun who asked me to go out of the city, and he felt that he could solve it alone.

So, he's still checking? Nangong Mo's eyes widened. Wei Shizi nodded, he felt that he should be able to find more things if he followed the investigation. Of course, this check has a certain direction. For example, the Eguo Mansion, the Chu Mansion, the Zhu family, the princess's mother's house, etc., can be let go gently. For example, several other princesses such as Chengjun can be investigated ruthlessly. Of course, there are also the Qin family, the Xie family, and so on......

Nangong Mo nodded with admiration and said: It is indeed a great gain, I don't know if it is a mine or a bomb. I really hope that His Majesty the Emperor has not been angry and vomited blood. King Yuejun really deserves to be a man who wants to become the emperor, and he is extraordinary as soon as he makes a move. Even the emperor had to think twice if he wanted to deal with the family, he actually dared to run to poke the hornet's nest alone, and drove away Wei Junmo, who could have pulled hatred for him. Where did His Royal Highness the King of Yuejun inherit the same IQ? Obviously, His Majesty the Emperor and the Crown Princess look quite normal. What do you think? Seeing her hugging the quilt in a daze, Wei Junmo raised his eyebrows and said. Nangong Mo shook his head and said, "It's nothing." Let's go see Lord He, he probably had a busy night last night. Wei Junmo stood up and walked outside, saying: I'll go after breakfast.

When the two of them went to find He Wenli after breakfast, He Wenli was really still in the room yesterday. It's just that compared to Lord He, who was radiant yesterday, now his eyes are black, his face is pale, and his eyes are bloodshot and dull. Looking directly at the couple who came hand in hand, it was obviously a sign that their minds were dull and their minds were about to stop.

Ho, have you had breakfast? Nangong Mo shook the few hot vegetarian buns he was carrying in his hand and asked cautiously, what should I do if the voice is loud and scares Lord He?

Yes? Oh...... He Wenli took the bun in a daze and stuffed it into his mouth, reached out with his other hand and threw a file on the table to the two of them, and said in an emotionless voice: That Du Xu, Du Hong and Ming Kong have all checked. There is nothing suspicious in Mingkong, Du Xuan and Du Hong came out of the same place, and they entered the Great Light Temple at the same time three years ago. I don't have any relatives at home, but... The original identity may be fake, and it will take time to verify. The arsenic was bought by Duxu himself, and it was sold in a pharmacy in a small town not far from Ziyun Mountain, saying that there were rats in the temple. The dossiers of all the warrior monks who take turns guarding the Buddhist scriptures are here, and there are five suspicious ones, and this one also needs time to be checked. And all the pilgrims who visited the Great Light Temple yesterday, among them... One hundred and thirty-two people were the people of the neighborhood, twenty-one were students from other places, and forty-eight were the magnates of Jinling and their servants. Now there are eight families living in the guest house, a total of eighty-three people, and these are their identities and confessions. Among them, there are seven people who have contradictions, one is judged to be unnoticed so the memory is vague, three are unsightly things in private, but it has nothing to do with this case, and there are three... Someone was sent to investigate. Belch... And also... And that's all there seems to be.

Nangong Mo was amazed, and took the initiative to pour a glass of cold boiled water and stuffed it into his hand, so as not to choke himself to death with dull eyes. It is possible to sort out so many files and such complex character relationships in one night, and to sort out the irrationality and falsehood from it and judge it. Lord He is decisively a strong man, and he is clearly not as mediocre as he was yesterday, no wonder he was able to become Ying Tianfu Yin at a young age.

But looking at this stupid wooden appearance, Nangong Mo finally remembered that this person was Lin Changfeng's good friend, and he still had to save some face. Nodding, the county lord of Star City said softly: We know, Lord He, it's hard work. You can rest.

Rest? He Wenli blinked his eyes with difficulty, and then fell straight down under the gaze of Nangong Mo and the others, with half a bun in his mouth.

There was silence in the room, and after a while, Nangong Mo shrugged his shoulders and looked at Wei Shizi and said, "I'm asleep."

Wei Shizi nodded, picked up the file on the table and stood up, and said: The body of the scholar is too weak. Even Wei Shizi had to admit that He Wenli was indeed a very promising person, if he was from the rivers and lakes, Wei Shizi couldn't help but want to take him into Zixiao Palace. Pity... Scholars are waste, but after staying up all night, it becomes like this. Sometimes the killer is out of sight for days and nights on a mission, and he still does something like him?

Miss Nangong really wants to tell Sù Wei Shizi that mental work is not the same as physical labor. As long as you are in good health and have undergone high-intensity exercise, it is not a problem for the average person not to sleep for a day or two. But if you don't sleep all day and your brain is running at high speed, that's not necessarily the case. Lord He's results told them how hard he had worked this day and night. Of course... Lord He's physical fitness is indeed a bit of a waste material. If you are in better health, you can at least hold on a little longer... Right?
