Li Ri knew: "Yu Shujin, how far is it from the road you walked that day!"

Yu Jijin didn't think about it, so he said: "There are still five or six miles to go, and after passing a small temple, it is almost there, but it is not too far!" ”

Li Ri knew: "Then let's go and see the place where you and Zhang Duoyang buried the body that night, I guess there should be no body in that place, and it has already been transferred by Zhang Duoyang or the real murderer!" ”

Ma Wenshang felt uncomfortable again, the thought of seeing his nephew's corpse, of course, he couldn't help but feel uncomfortable, but also the thought that he might not be able to see it, he felt anxious again.

Li Rizhi said again: "However, Zhang Duoyang still has to continue to look for him, I estimate that he may escape to his daughter, but we can't go right now, I think that when I get there at night, a sudden attack, whether it is Zhang Duoyang or his daughter, as long as they suddenly break into his house at night, they will be scared, so it will be much easier to ask again!" ”

Cheng Zizi said: "Then I'll go, it's just that I only know what village that daughter lives in, but I can't find out which one is specific. ”

Chen Yingying suddenly said: "Then I'll go, if I go to inquire, it won't be easy to alarm the Zhang family, and I can also pretend to be a distant relative of his family, maybe I can live in his house!" ”

Fu Guibao smiled: "You are pretending to be a distant relative of his family? His name is Zhang Duoyang, I see your name is Zhang Duoniu, it can be said that Zhang Duoyang is the elder! ”

Chen Yingying glared at him and looked at Li Rizhi, Li Rizhi thought for a while, and said: "As long as you don't reveal your identity, there should be no danger, but you can't really pretend to be a distant relative, there's no need for that!" ”

Chen Yingying hummed, asked Cheng Zizi for the direction and address, went out to get on the horse, and rushed to the direction of Zhang Duoyang's daughter's house.

Yu Shijin led the way in front, and after a short time, he arrived at the place where he and Zhang Duoyang buried their bodies that night, as expected, there was a big pit on the ground, but the pit was empty, and the body had already been transferred and disappeared.

Looking at the big pit, Ma Wenshang said angrily: "I always thought that Zhang Duoyang was a good person, and I was relieved to give him such a large area of orange groves, but I didn't think that he was a wolf-hearted thing, murdering the young owner, and even hiding the corpse, there is no worse person in the world!" ”

Li Rizhi frowned, in fact, what's the use of saying this at this time, no matter how hard he scolds, it won't help.

Fu Guibao said: "Then let's go find Zhang Duoyang's daughter now?" ”

Cheng Zizi also said: "Let's go now, we can almost catch up with Sister Yingying!" ”

Li Rizhi thought about it, but shook his head and said: "No need, if Zhang Duoyang didn't hide at his daughter's house, it would be useless for us to arrive early, if he hid at his daughter's house, then the best time to catch him is at night, even if we rush over now, it's still too early, I think we might as well first take the road that Brother Shaoji walked that day, and then go again, it is best to find out who that beautiful woman is, this is the top priority!" ”

Ma Wenshang listened, he couldn't think of any other good ideas, he has a lot of experience in running a farm, but for tracking down clues and finding the murderer, then he has no way at all, he can only agree to what Li Rizhi says.

Everyone did not waste any time, immediately got on the horse, passed through the orange orchard, and rushed to the field of the Ma family, passing a small hill on the way, Yu Shijin pointed to the small hill and said: "There is a small temple behind the hill, the villain and the young master Shao Ji rested in it that day, and also ate vegetarian fruits, the old monk is very hospitable!" ”

Ma Wenshang glanced over there and said: "I know that there are only two monks in that small temple, and the old monk is really very old, but he has good cooking skills, and he is a monk, but it makes the family lose a chef!" ”

Li Rizhi also looked over there, but he couldn't see any small temples across the hill, and it was not too late to see it when he returned, so he urged Yu to pick up gold and lead the way.

But he didn't go far, when he arrived at a large area of connected fields, Yu Jijin pointed to this large area of crops, and said: "Young Master Shaoji inspected this field that day, he didn't get out of the car, squinted in the car, and then asked me to drive the car back!" ”

When Ma Wenshang heard this, he couldn't help but be furious, and said angrily: "Is this how Shao Ji inspects his own fields? He, how could he be like this! ”

Ma Wenshang thought that Ma Shaoji swore that he would learn how to run the farm from himself, but in a blink of an eye, he learned like this, of course he would be angry in his heart, but he thought that Ma Shaoji was dead, and he couldn't help but feel very sad, the person was dead, and all the mistakes were gone.

Li Rizhi asked, "Did he talk to the tenants here, and who did he talk to?" ”

Yu Jijin shook his head and said: "The young master didn't talk to the tenants here, he thought that the tenants had a smell on their bodies, but in fact, the young master also disliked the villain, saying that the smell of sweat on the villain's body was too smelly!" ”

He bowed his head in shame, he was a servant who worked hard every day, and he did all manual work, and he couldn't bathe often, of course there would be a smell on his body, and everyone who was doing manual work smelled like this, not only him.

Li Rizhi sighed and looked at Ma Wenshang, Ma Wenshang sighed and shook his head, he was deeply ashamed that the Ma family had such a descendant, so he could only say: "Rich for only three generations, it has been like this since ancient times, but it makes Li Xian's nephew see the joke!" ”

Li Rizhi hurriedly said: "Maybe Brother Shao Ji was thinking about things at that time, important things, this ...... Now it is impossible to prove! ”

There is no useful thing to be found here, to put it simply and directly, that is, when Ma Shaoji arrived here, he just let the carriage stop at the edge of the field, and then he slept in the carriage, and in fact they came here for nothing.

Then they had to go back, and after a while, they were back in front of the little hill, and behind the little hill was the little temple they had spoken of earlier.

Li Rizhi asked Yu Zhujindao: "Did your young master meet that beautiful woman before passing through this small temple, or after?" ”

He estimated that after that, if it was before, then Ma Shaoji would not take a beautiful woman into the monk's temple to rest.

Sure enough, he estimated it accurately, and Yu Jijin said: "Back to Li Gongzi's words, yes, I didn't go far out of the small temple, at most it was more than a mile, and I met that beautiful woman, she rode a donkey, and she was in a hurry, as if she was tired, and she happened to sit on the side of the road to rest, and the young master stepped forward to talk, and then they hurried together again." ”

Li Rizhi thought about it, but didn't say anything immediately, just followed behind Ma Wenshang, bypassed the hill, and arrived in front of the small temple.

The small temple behind the hill is really a very small temple, in general, it is a small courtyard surrounded by a courtyard wall more than half a person, looking inside from the front door, there is a big hall, of course, it is said to be a big hall, but in fact, it is similar to the main hall of ordinary people's homes, but there is a Buddha statue inside, for Maitreya Buddha, as well as an incense burner, incense smoke.

On the futon in front of the Buddha statue, there is a monk, because his back is facing the front door, so he can't tell how old he is, but from the figure behind him, he is a very fat monk.

Ma Wenshang knows this fat monk, this fat monk's name is Chengshan, he is very old, I heard that he also served as a soldier in the former dynasty of Dasui, because he was a soldier, so he is missing a leg, he is very good at cooking, and he is a monk who pays special attention to eating and drinking.

Chengshan monk has an apprentice, his legal name is Hui Yong, Hui Yong is very young, but Hui Yong is not often in the temple, so many years Ma Wenshang has come to the small temple many times, but ten times he can only see Hui Yong's side, and I don't know what Hui Yong is doing all day, anyway, he is a monk who is not at ease chanting scriptures.

Ma Wenshang got off the horse and shouted, "Host Chengshan, I'm coming to see you!" ”

The Chengshan presiding officer who was meditating in the hall shook his body, and the old monk turned around with a yawn, it turned out that he was sleeping just now, and he was sleeping while meditating, but he didn't delay.

Chengshan turned his head and saw Ma Wenshang outside the door, and he smiled: "It's Master Ma, come to see the growth of the crops again?" ”

While talking, Chengshan presided over the side and got up, he only had one leg, the trouser tube of the other leg was empty, and there was a cane beside him, Chengshan presided over the crutches and came out to greet Ma Wenshang.

Ma Wenshang entered the small temple and said: "Host Chengshan, your legs and feet are inconvenient, don't come out, I brought a few friends here today, I want to ask you something, and I will leave after asking." ”

This small temple usually doesn't have anyone, Chengshan presides over no one and has no companion, only one apprentice is not at home, so it looks very lonely, and he is actually very happy to have a visitor.

Chengshan said with a smile: "Okay, if there is anything, just ask." Sit in the side hall first, the poor monk will make tea for you, and the freshly made vegetarian fruit, you can taste it, the vegetarian fruit made by the poor monk can not be tasted elsewhere! ”

Ma Wenshang was also a little tired, but he didn't shirk, and took Li Rizhi and others into the side hall, which is actually a wing room, but the temple is small, but the title should also be called according to the name in the regular temple, which is also a kind of respect for the host of Chengshan.

Chengshan presided over the kitchen, and after a short time, he came out, holding a large tray in his hand, full of cups and saucers, he held a cane in one hand, and a large tray in the other, and the big tray was held in his hand, steadily, and not a drop of water was spilled out of the water cup inside!

Cheng Zizai hurriedly stepped forward to help, and he said with a smile: "There is a character in the presiding number, and the surname is Cheng below, and I will help you serve tea below!" ”

Chengshan presided over and said with a smile: "The poor monk and the benefactor are fateful!" He handed the tray in his hand to Cheng Zizi.

Cheng Zizi took the tray and looked at the things inside, there were tea soup, vegetarian fruits, and a lot of things. But the tea soup is just that, the style of the vegetarian fruit, but he has seen it, is almost exactly the same as the vegetarian fruit sold in the city!

Cheng Zizi couldn't help but be stunned, but he didn't say anything, took the plate into the side hall and put it on the table.

Fu Guibao was hungry, he was not polite, and he reached out to take the vegetarian fruit, but when he saw the appearance of the vegetarian fruit, he was also stunned, and asked: "In the world, are all the vegetarian fruits in all temples the same?" ”

Li Rizhi also saw the vegetarian fruit, and he also remembered that the style of this vegetarian fruit was quite special, as if he had only seen it in Dim Sum Xi Shi before, when he came to Zhengzhou before, he had also borrowed the temple and eaten the vegetarian fruit, but it was definitely different from what he was looking at.

Chengshan presided over and sat down, and said with a smile: "This little benefactor said that although the poor monk is simple, but there is one stronger than any other temple, it is the taste and style of this vegetarian fruit, this is the style of the former Sui Imperial Palace, but it is not all the same, after the improvement of the poor monk, the taste is better than before, even if it is the Great Sui Emperor of the year, he has never eaten such a good taste of vegetarian fruit, there is only one of this temple in the world, unique, you can never eat it elsewhere!" ”

When he said this, he was very proud, and it seemed that making this unique vegetarian fruit was something he would be very proud of in his life.

Li Rizhi and Fu Guibao, as well as Cheng Zizai, each picked up a piece of vegetarian fruit, put it in their mouths and ate it, but as soon as they ate it, they all looked at each other, this is exactly the same as the dim sum Xi Shi made vegetarian fruit, the taste is exactly the same, dim sum Xi Shi sells this on the street every day, but the old monk said that this is the only one in the world, and it is a practice that he invented, which is really strange!
