Unexpectedly, Jiang Wei was furious: "Do it yourself? I'm avenging Linglong, I'm not wrong! ”

Xiling Yue had already stepped on the wheel, but when she heard this, she stopped her movements and turned her head to look at him: "Linglong's death was an accident, you know if you blame the prince." But you, how much affection do you have for Linglong? Will you help her get out of slavery and admit her to the beginning? ”

Jiang Wei's expression froze.

The laws of this dynasty clearly stipulate that "good and low do not marry", that is, good and low families cannot intermarry, and even concubines have requirements, and can only accept women who are one level lower than themselves. He Jiang Wei took the career of an official, and he was an "official" in the good register, and his household registration was the highest; And Linglong is a Qinglou woman, belonging to the low-class "happy household", they

There are at least several levels of "beloved", "partial" and "customer" between them.

Mo said that if he married Linglong, it was impossible to take her as a concubine. "Taking Lehu as a concubine" is a crime against the law, which not only requires deprivation of official positions, but also exile for several years. Even if he has the heart to get rid of Linglong's nationality and be good, at most let her be a pet maid by her side, which can be regarded as a room, and she will not even be given the status of a concubine.

And their Jiang family has always paid attention to reputation, and he is in the promotion period, I am afraid that his parents will not let Linglong enter the mansion easily. In terms of Linglong's fierceness, he will definitely not follow him nameless for the rest of his life. Therefore, even if Linglong is still alive in this world, the biggest possibility between them is that the affection between them fades, gradually drifts apart, and finally forgets each other......

It was only because Linglong died in the best years, when the relationship between the two was the strongest and hottest, that he was so difficult to let go, and he had been resentful of Li Chengxuan for many years.

Thinking of this, Jiang Wei pursed his lips and couldn't answer a word.

Seeing this, Xiling Yue sneered: "At least King Fu once thought about Na Linglong entering the mansion." And you? You have been holding him hostage with this for several years, and you are still at peace? Also, you obviously promised to cooperate with us in this case, and we also promised to put the credit on you alone, but you fabricated a lie at a critical moment, and stepped on King Fu after investigating the case, is this treachery? Take 10,000 steps back, your Jiangfu official family is a loyal and patriotic way, but you deceive the Son of Heaven and slander the clan because of personal grievances, this is your loyalty? Jiang Wei, you are not worthy of being an official at all! ”

Xi Lingyue's last sentence stabbed Jiang Wei's heart hard, causing his thin cheeks to lose the last trace of blood.

After scolding Jiang Wei, Xilingyue boarded the carriage and went straight to Anguo Temple to meet Zen Master Guangxuan, wanting to find new clues. After inquiry, she learned that the dozens of boxes of relics of Venerable An Cheng were still stored in the west wing of the Eastern Zen Temple, so she decided to rummage through them again.

She was actually a person who believed in her instincts, and for example, she concluded that the reason why Master An Cheng swallowed the key must have been to protect a certain box in the West Wing.

Accompanied by Zen Master Guangxuan, she came to the West Wing again, and a strange smell came to her nose. Xiling Yue couldn't help frowning: "Zen Master, do you smell anything?" ”

Zen Master Guangxuan sniffed his nose vigorously: "It seems to have a little smell, could it be that the Venerable Master's relics are moldy?" ”

Xi Lingyue shook her head: "It's not like mold, it's like the taste of vegetable oil." She had a natural sense of smell and could smell smells that were imperceptible to ordinary people, so she hurried into the room and searched for the source of the smell.

Sure enough, she found that someone had spilled vegetable oil on the four corners of the West Wing. As the weather became colder and colder, the vegetable oil had condensed into a rǔ white paste, and the smell was much lighter.

Xilingyue remembered that the last time I came to the West Wing to check, there was no smell of vegetable oil here, and it was certain that it had been spilled here recently. She thought for a moment and said to Zen Master Guangxuan: "I want to see the contents of the box, please find the key." ”

Zen Master Guangxuan immediately responded. She took advantage of this leisure moment, and went to the corridor to observe the murals, and after looking at them for a long time, she still couldn't understand what Venerable An Cheng was trying to imply.

Not long after, Zen Master Guangxuan hurried back

, said in a panic: "County Lord, the Master's key...... It's gone! ”

"Dozens of boxes, two large bunches of keys missing?" Xiling Yue asked in surprise.

Zen Master Guangxuan nodded hurriedly: "Yes, this ...... How can this be good, the poor monk originally planned to wait for the next Tang envoy to come to the court and transfer these relics to Master Kukai. ”

Xiling Yue thought for a moment, and reassured him with a smile: "Don't worry, mage, there are many ways to open the box, and you can open it without a key." She looked up at the sky, "It's getting late, I'll bring someone to open the box tomorrow." ”

Zen Master Guangxuan was busy.

Xiling Yue cautiously advised: "Please also ask the mage to send more people tonight, be sure to take care of this wing, in case someone sets it on fire." ”

"Arson?" Zen Master Guangxuan was amazed.

Xilingyue pointed to the vegetable oil in the corner, and the Zen master suddenly realized.

When she returned home that night, Xilingyue talked to Acui and Adan once. Since the Queen Mother's accident, she has not asked the two sisters a word, but she does not know their role in this matter.

Now that she wants to train her henchmen to help her investigate the case, she naturally has to ask the wishes of the twin sisters to see if they are willing to return to the Fuwang Mansion or return to the Queen Mother.

The two sisters expressed their willingness to stay by her side to atone for their crimes, and Xilingyue decided not to blame the past, and the matter was revealed.

Early the next morning, Xiling Yue took Adan to Anguo Temple. The reason why I took her alone was because she was almost broken by a monk named Mo Yan when she visited Anguo Temple at night last time, and she escaped because Atsui and Adan were twin sisters. In order not to be a goof, Xilingyue only brought Adan alone, and deliberately

Falsely claiming that she is Atsui.

As soon as the master and servant arrived at Anguo Temple, they went to the west wing to pick the lock, and every time Adan opened a box, Xiling Yue had to look through the objects in it, and after reading it, he focused on checking the monk's records. But she didn't expect that she would see Mo Yan in the list of the head monks in the stove room, the monk who almost broke Adan!

Xilingyue remembered that this Master Mo Yan was the nephew of Pei Yan, a member of the Zhongshu Society, and he became a monk in anger because he repeatedly failed in the imperial examination. With such a background, there was no reason to be arranged to be on duty in the room, so she asked Zen Master Guangxuan about the situation.

Only then did she learn that since Mo Yan came to Anguo Temple, he was always looking for opportunities to cling to the powerful and bring about the atmosphere in the temple. At the beginning, Zen Master Guangxuan still saw that his uncle was Pei Yan's face and did not hold him accountable, and only transferred him to an insignificant position, but he still didn't know how to restrain himself.

Even after An Cheng's death, Li Chengxuan and Jiang Wei came to investigate the case, and he had to find a way to show his face and come forward to ask a few questions. Zen Master Guangxuan was suffering from a headache because of this bloody case, and the anger that he had been holding back for a long time was vented on Mo Yan's head and he was transferred to the room.

"Thinking that Pei She has a noble character and a clean breeze on his sleeves, it really ruins his reputation to have such a son and nephew who tends to be inflammatory." Zen Master Guangxuan sighed helplessly.

Xiling Yue didn't say anything after hearing this, after all, she was not interested in Pei Yan's family affairs. Seeing that all the clues that should be investigated were investigated, but there was no clue about the case, she began to ponder the two murals in the East Zen Temple again.
