Speaking of which, her impression of Jiang Wei is not bad, although this person lacks etiquette, but he is neither humble nor arrogant, taciturn, but like an iron-faced and selfless upright person, very suitable for errands in Dali Temple.

Several people walked all the way to the gate of the East Zen Courtyard, Jiang Wei stopped and said to Xilingyue: "The body of the deceased has been sent for an autopsy, I'm afraid the county lord can't see it." ”

Xilingyue didn't think much about it, and replied to him: "It's okay, just look at the place where the crime happened." ”

Jiang Wei led her into the arch of the East Zen Courtyard and pointed to the corridor in the northwest: "That's where the deceased was killed." ”

Xilingyue followed Jiang Wei's point, walked quickly to the bottom of the corridor, and saw at a glance that there were two more bloody handprints on the stone wall in the northwest direction, leaving a shocking bloody color on the mural of the Tianlong Babu painted by Wu Daozi. There was also a long trail of blood on the floor tiles of the corridor, winding all the way, as if someone had dragged the injured Venerable An Cheng here.

Seeing this, Atsui and Adan turned pale with a pale face.

Xiling Yue saw that the two of them had a bad face, so she said, "If you can't bear to see it, go and wait for me outside the hospital." ”

When he came to Anguo Temple to secretly check the cage that day, Adan had never seen the face of Master An Cheng from beginning to end, so he didn't have any sadness, nodded his head, and left the East Zen Temple to wait outside.

After all, Acui accompanied Li Chengxuan and An Chengren to talk all night, and they could be regarded as having a one-sided relationship, and the sadness on her face was stronger, so she forcibly stayed uncomfortably.

Xi Lingyue stood in front of the mural, looked up at the two bloody handprints, and asked Jiang Wei, "Is this handprint left by Master An Cheng?" Or the murderer? ”

"Preliminary verification, it is the handprint of the deceased." Jiang Wei replied honestly.

Xilingyue frowned when she heard this, and walked out of the corridor following the blood marks on the floor tiles. As soon as he walked out of the corridor, the blood stain disappeared, replaced by a little blood stain, the amount of blood was sparse, but a few drops could be seen every once in a while, all the way to the main house where the Venerable Master An Cheng lived.

Xilingyue lifted her skirt and walked in, and saw a mess on the desk under the window, with a pen holder scattered, an inkstone cracked, and a crooked paperweight. The futon of the floor tiles was also mottled with blood, and the plain cloth had been cut by a sharp blade.

She took a few more steps closer and found that there was an unfinished letter on the desk, the paper was red with blood, but the handwriting was still legible. When she looked closely, she realized that the letter had been written by Master Yasunari to his teacher, Master Kukai, in order to ask Master Kukai to find out a calligraphy of the "Preface to the Pavilion of King Teng" from the Kyoto Zen Temple, and to bring it to Chang'an by the envoys of the coming dynasty.

Before Venerable An Cheng was killed, he was actually looking for the uncut "Preface to the Pavilion of King Teng", so was his death related to this matter?

Could it be that the "Highness" and the "Pavilion Master" did a good thing again? In order to prevent the original "Preface to King Teng's Pavilion" from circulating?

But the Tang envoy is not the only one who can be sent to become a master, if you want to stop it, do you have to kill all the Fusang people?

Xiling Yue was shocked in her heart.

She slowly turned her head to look out the window, and from the direction where she stood, she could clearly see the two bloody handprints under the corridor, and combined with what she saw along the way, she was almost sure that Venerable An Cheng was assassinated in front of this table, and had some resistance, dodged, and ran out of here with injuries, trying to escape from the Eastern Zen Temple.

However, as soon as he ran to the vicinity of the corridor, he was caught by the murderer again, and I don't know what kind of abuse he suffered, he was dragged under the corridor, and the murderer killed him in front of the mural.

Before he died, Master An Cheng must have gone through a painful struggle to leave two horrific bloody handprints on the wall. Xi Lingyue speculated on the scene of the murder at that time, and couldn't help but feel a sour nose, and shed two tears in shock.

Atsui also lowered her head and burst into tears.

Seeing that the two of them were so sad, Jiang Wei still had no expression, and only said: "If the county lord Guo finishes reading it, please go back, don't delay my Dali Temple to handle the case." ”

Xilingyue sniffed and asked, "Dare to ask Jiang Sicheng, is there a clue to this case now?" ”

Jiang Wei's expression was cold: "This doesn't seem to be the county lord's concern." ”

Xilingyue bit her lower lip: "It is true that I have overpassed, but I am afraid that the death of the Venerable Master has another inside story, and it may involve some secret news...... I'd appreciate it if you could tell us the lead. ”

Hearing this, Jiang Wei actually pulled out a sarcastic smile: "What, County Lord Guo still wants to meddle in this case?" ”

Xi Lingyue was surprised by his sharpness, but she did have this in mind, so she confessed: "Yes, I am willing to do my best to comfort the Venerable Master's soul in heaven. ”

"I have long heard that the county lord of Xichuan is very intelligent and judges the case like a god, it seems that this is true." Although Jiang Wei said so, he did not mean half of the compliment, but was full of sarcasm.

How could Xiling Yue not hear it, but it was extremely strange in her heart. She asked herself if she had offended Jiang Wei, but her attitude was clearly very opinionated about herself.

Could it be because he went through the back door to find Wu Yuanheng, and Wu Yuanheng put pressure on him, which caused his dissatisfaction?

Xiling Yue could only apologize and said again: "It's really helpless to ask Jing Zhaoyin for help, I definitely didn't mean to look down on Jiang Sicheng, and I ask for your forgiveness." ”

This time Jiang Wei was silent, Xilingyue waited for a long time and didn't see any reaction from him, it seemed that he was really angry. She was about to say some more words to make amends, when she heard him suddenly speak and say something inexplicable: "I was originally a person in the army, and since my grandfather was killed, I asked to be transferred to Dali Temple, and swore to end the world's grievances...... He just arrived earlier this month. ”

Ay? It turned out to be a newbie. Although Xilingyue didn't know what he meant by this, she also gave birth to three points of admiration: "Jiang Sicheng pushes himself and others, and helps the world, which is admirable." ”

As soon as these words came out, the sarcasm on Jiang Wei's face became even thicker, and he said coldly: "My ancestor was killed two months ago, and my father returned to his hometown last month. ”

No wonder Jiang Wei had a cold face and a stiff tone, it turned out that his family had just suffered an accident. Xilingyue felt deeply understanding, her expression was soft, and she politely replied: "Please also ask Jiang Sicheng to mourn." ”

Jiang Wei's face became even darker when he heard this, and he squinted at her. The other officials of Dali Temple all looked at each other when they saw this, and they didn't know what Jiang Wei meant, and some people even reminded in a low voice: "Sicheng, this is the newly sealed Xichuan County Lord of the Holy Shang, you ......"

However, Jiang Wei was unmoved, his eyes were as cold as two sharp swords, as if he was about to shoot through Xilingyue.

The two looked at each other face to face for a long time, and Xi Lingyue suddenly reacted, and her face gradually turned white.

Jiang Wei saw that she had finally woken up, so he slowly opened his mouth and spit out a few words: "Dali Temple has decided the case, don't dare to bother the county lord, please go back." ”

When Xiling Yue returned to the eldest princess's mansion, she was just in time for lunch, obviously losing her appetite and eating very little.

Also lacking in appetite was the eldest princess, who couldn't stop beating the drum in her heart all morning: Isn't it a bad omen that she should have seen her husband for her daughter today, but she encountered such an unfortunate thing? Could it be that her daughter's love road is bumpy?

Xiling Yue saw that the eldest princess was worried, so she couldn't help but comfort her a few words, but what she was thinking about was the death of Venerable An Cheng. Ten days ago, she and Li Chengxuan had just found An Cheng and wanted to find Wang Bo's original "Preface to the Pavilion of King Teng", but unfortunately before the words were finished that day, her father-in-law Xiao Zhiwu went to Chang'an to solve the mystery of her life experience.

After that, she moved away from the Fuwang Mansion, recognized her ancestors and returned to her ancestors, canonized the county lord, and entered the palace to live...... After a series of major events in just ten days, he never had the opportunity to meet An Cheng again, and he did not expect that to meet him that day would be the last time.
