Chapter 138: Reason

Either he's lying, or he's doing something and ignoring the voices outside.

It is not enough to just suspect, and it is not clear how he killed Master Jingtian, until Linnaeus mentioned the sheepskin raft Tang Ningnan again.

Perhaps Zhi Nai didn't use any method to hang the abbot of Jingtian on such a high beam at all, but directly stood up and hung it.

The sheepskin raft and the petals of the acacia flowers falling from the ashram are the key, the ashram is in the shape of a long strip, the walls around it are very strong and painted with paint, it is very waterproof, as long as you close the door of the ashram and use the loose planks outside the skylight to bring in the water from the cliff outside, the water rises and the sheepskin raft is high, you can reach the beams, and then go out through the skylight, put the planks back in place, and in the corridor behind the ashram, smash the planks below with an axe, and the water can be drained.

The fact that so much water gushing out together proves how such a large hole came from and why there are only a few pieces of wood in the hallway.

The abbot of Jingtian was hung on a high beam, and such a large hole was made in the wall, just to imitate the legend of the nine-headed eagle and hide people's eyes.

The two of them sorted out their thoughts together, and restored all the methods of Zhi Nai to kill the abbot of Jingtian. But the two of them still don't understand what this incident has to do with the same case that happened two years ago, and with the dozen or so young women who have disappeared in the past month.

For now, we can only wait for the results of Chu Han's interrogation, to see if it is the same as they deduced, and to see if we can find out what the purpose of Zhi Nai to arrest these women is.

The two of them fell into deep thought again, only the sea breeze with a wet and salty smell was blowing gently in their ears, Tang Ningnan simply lay down and looked at the sky.

Looking up, I saw a man carrying a lantern from the cliff, walking towards them from a distance.

The person who came was Li Lanshi, and he came to deliver the content of Chu Han's interrogation.

"So fast?" Tang Ningnan was a little surprised, it wasn't long before Chu Han took Zhi Na Ming away.

But in fact, it has not been long ago, and the Sandan Temple is nearly an hour away from the dragon boat by horse-drawn carriage, but it is enough to reach the county government in less than half an hour.

Chu Han didn't leave from time to time, at this time, the moon was in the sky, it was already the hour, Tang Ningnan fell asleep, and he didn't feel that time had passed for a long time.

"That Zhina looks arrogant, but in fact, once he is tortured, he recruits everything, and he can't help but beat something." Li Lanshi replied.

"Don't let him get too upset." Feng Feihan slowly floated out a sentence.

Tang Ningnan didn't say anything, he just wanted to listen carefully to what Zhi Nai had to say.

It all started two years ago, when Abbot Jingtian's mother was seriously ill, and a fortune teller told him that his mother's life had arrived, and that if he wanted his mother to continue to live, he had to find a woman with the same birthday as his mother to kill and renew her mother's life.

Jing Tian is obviously a monk, but the funny thing is that he actually believes it, and he is grateful to the master, and he really plans to find a woman whose birthday is the same as his mother's.

But where to find it? At this time, Zhina appeared, it turned out that this kind of saying was widely spread behind the scenes, and there were special people who relied on this method to make money.

Zhina is the person who introduced the woman to him, but the woman herself did not know that she would be murdered, was deceived into going to the temple to pray for blessings, and then was killed by the abbot of Jingtian.

After that, the mother of the abbot of Jingtian really got better, but it was just a flash in the pan, how could there be such a miraculous thing in the world.

I thought this matter would end here, but half a year ago, Zhi Nai came to the door again, the old man who told the fortune had died, leaving Zhi Nai a book, which recorded that the young beauty was put into the cage drawer, and the steamed water vapor was condensed into a small bottle and collected, and the health pills could prolong life and keep youth forever, and the rouge gouache could make the face glow and the skin delicate and smooth......

Tang Ningnan frowned, how could anyone believe this kind of mysterious statement.

But Zhinai really believed it, and the incident two years ago threatened the abbot Jingtian, saying that if he didn't cooperate with him to do these things, he would make the matter of his killing of that woman public, and after a hundred years, he would not only not be admired by the world as a high-ranking monk, but would also be spurned by them.

Abbot Jingtian would agree, not only because of that little fame, but more importantly because of the huge profit to be made!

These pills and rouge gouache are very popular among the rich and noble, and one can buy hundreds of taels of silver, which is not something that the good men and women in the temple can catch up with with the little incense money they put in.

Driven by huge profits, the abbot and Zhi Nai took the risk and chose to catch the woman from the city, which was originally only one for ten days and half a month, but recently the demand has increased a lot for some reason, and the price has doubled, and the action of the two has gradually increased.

"But with such a big move, the government really doesn't know about it?" Tang Ningnan questioned.

"It seems to be ...... Some high-ranking officials still have something to do with it. Li Lanshi said tentatively, he was afraid that Feng Feihan would be angry.

But how fast and slow it is, the facts are there, and it is impossible for Feng Feihan not to be angry.

"Ridiculous! There were court officials who believed such outrageous things. Feng Feihan's hand tightly grasped the sand and gravel, "Find Pingliang from Penglai Mansion Yin and ask him to investigate this matter thoroughly, and anyone who is implicated will be investigated clearly!" Tomorrow I will return to the county government and personally supervise. ”

"Yes, the last general understands, and then he will be commanded." Li Lanshi bowed and finished saluting, then turned around and went back to the temple.

Without looking at his face, Tang Ningnan knew that Feng Feihan was holding back anger in his heart.

"It's ridiculous." Tang Ningnan's voice sounded slowly.

Feng Feihan turned his head and looked at her incredulously, as if it had said something unreasonable.

"Jingtian is a monk who should be compassionate, and he cares so much about his reputation after death, but he does what a beast does, which is ridiculous point one, and it is ridiculous that he actually killed other women for his mother's sake, and it is ridiculous point two to believe in the mess recorded in the book, this is ridiculous point three."

Yes, Feng Feihan agreed with Tang Ningnan's opinion in his heart, Jingtian and Zhinai are indeed ridiculous, but in addition to these, the people who protect them behind their backs, the people who buy these pills and rouge gouache don't know what kind of turmoil will be involved.

All the way south, through Huishuo, Shuishui, Pingliang, everywhere he went, there was nothing that did not encounter things, Feng Feihan began to feel that the peaceful and prosperous era presented by Liang Guo under his own governance was just an illusion, in fact, there were moths in the background.

"It is inevitable that there will be a dark place in the peaceful and prosperous world, after all, it is not an ideal country like 'the road is also a trip to the world, the world is for the public', people will always run for interests, and there will be a dark side if there are interests, do you know Donglang?"

Tang Ningnan turned his head, looked at Feng Feihan seriously, and continued to speak: "This incident happened because of ignorance, Zhi Nai and Jingtian are ignorant and ignorant, and they believe in such ridiculous things, and those who buy pills from them are even more ignorant, I really think that there are good things in the world that will keep their youth forever."

So it's not the fault of the system, and it's not Donglang's fault, Donglang shouldn't take all the responsibility on himself, okay? Donglang works day and night, and it is already very good to be able to manage the huge girders to this point. ”

From just now, Tang Ningnan noticed that Feng Feihan's mood was wrong, her emperor, always took the world as his own responsibility, and when he encountered so many things along the way, he naturally felt that he had not governed the country well.

Tang Ningnan said this, on the one hand, to comfort Feng Feihan and not let him blame himself too much, and on the other hand, it was also to take the opportunity to say his views on the imperial examination system again.

"So Donglang, the most important thing is to get the people out of ignorance and ignorance, the Shantan Temple incident is only a part of the ignorance, the territory of the Liang State is so large, in some corners that we can't see, there may be people who believe in what legends, do this kind of thing, this is not a system can be changed."

"And what do you think?"

Liang Guo did not allow the harem concubines to discuss politics, and Tang Ningnan never let everyone discuss these things, and called Feng Feihan to the beach, only the two of them were there, so they didn't have to worry about being discussed by people with ulterior motives.

"I think that ignorance and ignorance come from a lack of knowledge, when people can't solve a thing, they will seek gods or demons to make sense of it, the more remote the country, the more strange things there are, but in fact, these things don't exist at all, Donglang still remembers the Chunhui Hall built in Meixian?

I said that children are hope, and I thought that after the education of Mr. Teacher, children will be able to understand that those things are real and will be able to distinguish between right and wrong, so the reform of the imperial examination system proposed by He Donglang before may be able to play a role in this regard. ”

In this regard, if the concubines next to him mentioned it, he would inevitably be angry, except for Tang Ningnan. Feng Feihan was willing to listen to her opinion, if it was why.

These days, he has been touring the south and has experienced so many things, and the wisdom and bravery shown by Tang Ningnan in dealing with these things are unmatched by other concubines.

Under the moonlight, Tang Ningnan talked about her thoughts and suggestions, and her face showed a confident and longing look, as if a beautiful country had been shown in front of her, Feng Feihan liked her expression, as if she could see her own shadow from her body, and she could always get motivation here when she was confused and wandering.

"Ning'er wins my heart the most." Feng Feihan took Tang Ningnan's hand, put it in his hand, looked at her eyes and said very seriously.

"It's not too early, let's go back to the temple!" Downing smiled warmly back.

Feng Feihan nodded, and pulled Tang Ningnan towards the temple on the cliff.

The shallow smile on his face froze at the moment when Tang Ningnan fell suddenly, and turned into panic.

"Ning, Ning'er?"

Feng Feihan picked up Tang Ningnan at a loss, his mind was blank, and he only used all his strength to carry Tang Ningnan back to the temple as quickly as possible.
