"Uncle, what's the matter?" It was the bolder child who walked over, and the other children stood there and watched.

"What's your name?"

Wang Heng squatted down and asked kindly.

"My name is Wang Songlin."

"Oh, Uncle is also surnamed Wang, we are a family."

Xu Yan saw that her husband wanted to shorten the distance between her husband and the child, so she directly leaned over and took out a handful of pine nut candy from Wang Qi's purse and distributed it to the children.

These children are from poor families in the neighborhood, and they only maintain basic food and accommodation in this monastery, and they rarely see snacks, and they are very happy with candy, so they involuntarily gather around.

Spiegel said on the side: "Children's words, you can't believe them, they just talk casually." ”

"Mage, Tong Yan is unscrupulous." Xu Yan said on the side.

Wang Yu originally hated his mother's annoyance, but he would watch his mother's actions come down with thoughtfulness in his eyes.

Wang Qi was generous, took off the small bag he was carrying, and took out more candy to distribute to these children.

Wang Heng asked: "Tell me, what's going on with that arithmetic gentleman?" ”

That Wang Songlin secretly glanced at the mirror, and Xu Yan smiled and said: "Master, I haven't seen you for more than ten years, and our temple has changed a lot, so why don't you take our mother and son around, there is Master Lao Mingjing." ”

Spiegel had no choice but to lead them forward.

"Wang Songlin, tell your uncle."

"Is Uncle a big official?"

"Yes, Uncle is an official, if the temple is embarrassed by this matter. Uncle will send you to the official school in the city, and Uncle will pay for it, okay? ”

Several children saw that this uncle was accompanied by the master of the prison and looked very remarkable, so they pulled Wang Heng's sleeve and said, "Uncle, let's go over there and talk." ”

It turned out that Mr. Qi was a showman, he was good at arithmetic, and his family was very poor, so he went to the school in this temple to teach arithmetic to earn some money.

"Seeing that Mr. Qi likes Bai Wenbin very much, he often asks him to go to the room to read books alone. We were all envious. But a few days ago, Bai Wenbin secretly cried when he came back. He didn't say anything when asked, and we muttered in private that Mr. Qi must have beaten him secretly. ”

Wang Songlin said this, and the other children also nodded on the side: "Yes, yes, Mr. Qi also gave Bai Wenbin snowflake candy to eat." ”

"Then where is Bai Wenbin now?"

"He said yesterday that it hurts. The abbot sent him home. ”

Master Abbot! Isn't that the clear sky?

Wang Heng nodded and said, "Then who said that Mr. Qi drank too much and fell into the water?" Is the government a messenger? ”

"It was the abbot master who told us when he sent Bai Wenbin home this morning. He said that Mr. Qi must have lost his footing and fallen into the water because of the smell of alcohol. He also talked about many of the disadvantages of drinking. ”

After Wang Heng asked about the situation, he took a few steps to catch up with his wife and children, and he said directly to Mingjing: "Please take me to see Master Mingkong." ”

Spiegel hesitated. Wang Heng's eyes were sharp and asked, "What, is there any difficulty?" Or does Master Mingkong not want to see me, or does he not dare? ”

Wang Heng has led the troops for many years, and he has a decisive attitude to kill, and the aura of the whole person is strong. Mingjing hurriedly smiled and said, "Of course not, Master Hou is here, please." ”

Mingkong actually lived in the courtyard of the original Yuanzhi. At this time, he was sitting in the bamboo forest and cooking tea.

Seeing Wang Heng and his entourage approaching, he got up and said, "The two of them haven't seen each other for more than ten years, and now they are all full of branches, and they are really destined people, which is gratifying." ”

Xu Yan looked carefully, time is really good for Mingkong, he has not changed much compared with more than ten years ago, but he is a little more stable between his eyebrows, and he is no longer the extreme monk value in the past.

"Master Mingkong, I heard that there is a school in the temple, and the master also provides food, lodging and clothing to the students who are studying, which is really a good deed." Wang Heng greeted.

"God has the virtue of a good life, our Mingguang Temple is larger, and we should do more things. Please sit down, I just made tea, naturally it is not as good as the nobleman's house, if you are not too ugly, sit down. ”

"Madam, take the children to the temple for a walk, I have something to discuss with the master."

When Xu Yan heard this, she was very unhappy, Wang Heng clearly had something, and she actually wanted to send herself to take the child around, you must know that for her, you are the most annoying thing to be mysterious and secretive but don't tell others what is going on, Xu Yan's gossip heart.

"I took my sister around, and when my father and mother met the deceased, they naturally had to talk more."

Wang Yu took the initiative to stand up and help Xu Yan.

Xu Yan was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth, but Wang Yu took advantage of the unpreparedness to pull her head down and said in her ear: "Don't be embarrassed, your eyes are full of curiosity now, it's really a bastard." ”

Xu Yan's face froze, and her son had already taken his daughter's hand and walked out. Spiegel looked at the situation and chased after him a few steps and said, "I'll take the two of you around." ”

Ming Spiegel was a slippery head, he saw that Wang Heng seemed to be a little weird, so he hid out first.

Now that only Wang Heng and his wife are left in the bamboo forest, Mingkong is too lazy to pretend to be any longer, and said directly: "The two people who came are not good, what is the matter?" ”

"I heard that a master arithmetic died in the temple school."

"Yes, when the body was scooped up, it smelled of alcohol, presumably because he drank too much and stumbled."

"But the students said that the man had already sworn not to drink again."

"If it works, everything in this world will be simple."

Mingkong had a smile on his face: "Hou Ye's expression now is exactly the same as that of the queen mother at the beginning." It's a pity that nothing happens in this temple and doesn't bother the marquis. ”

"Where is that student named Bai Wenbin?"

"He's sick, and the little monk has sent someone to send him home."

"Mr. Qi's matter, can you report it to the government?"

"Naturally, it was reported, and the official mission is probably still searching in the mountains." Mingkong smiled: "Master Hou's suspicion is too heavy. ”

No matter how cynical Mingkong was, Wang Heng still met the official in charge of this matter.

The man was a middle-aged man with a sad face, called Qi Catcher.

"The head catcher is also surnamed Qi?" Wang Heng glanced at the corpse lying in an empty room and asked.

"Yes, the little surname is Qi, and this Qi Fang is a brother who has not come out of the five suits, and his home is also near here. Alas, Qi Fang is greedy, I warned him earlier, but I didn't expect it to be ......" Qi Zhutou sighed again and again.

"What are the results of the autopsy?"

"The small one has been seen, there are no scars, and the wine on the body is very strong when it is fished up, and it has been put all morning, and there is no taste anymore."

Wang Heng untied the deceased's clothes and examined carefully, the deceased was a young man in his twenties, with a strong body and indeed no injuries on his body, Wang Heng suddenly pinched the deceased's mouth open, stepped forward and sniffed it. Qi Zhutou almost gagged when he looked at it, he couldn't imagine that the Hou Ye from the capital would be so bold and careful.

"Strange, why doesn't there smell of alcohol in your mouth? Can you drink alcohol with your head catcher? ”

"Occasionally, I have a drink."

"We all drink alcohol, and we should know what this hangover tastes in our mouths, and the deceased doesn't have that smell in his mouth at all." Wang Heng thought for a while and said, "Find me a longer steel needle, the longer the better." There are no steel needles, just slender iron things. ”

The little novice took the order and went a little later, bringing a slender awl and asking, "My lord, is this all right?" ”

Mingkong has been standing in the courtyard and watching all this coldly.

Wang Heng took the awl and stabbed it into the stomach of the deceased.

Qi Zhutou was startled and shouted, "My lord, no! ”

It was already late, Wang Heng pulled out the steel needle, looked at the head catcher and said, "Since you fell into the water after drinking, why is there no wine in this stomach?" ”

Qi Zhutou was stunned: "Maybe it's all spread to the blood all over the body?" ”

"You can't be sure yourself, can you?" Wang Heng turned to Mingkong, who was standing on the side, and said with a smile: "Master Mingkong, where did this Mr. Qi drink?" There will be no alcohol in the temple. ”

"A drunkard, that's naturally outside the temple." Mingkong clasped his hands together: "He has been freed from the sea of suffering, why does Master Hou have to let him not rest." ”

"Okay, I want to meet Bai Wenbin." (To be continued.) )
