Peng Ji was slightly stunned, he didn't expect Li Rizhi to answer like this, in his thoughts, Li Rizhi should be like a student when asked by the teacher, the kind of rules and regulations, even if he can't think of any reason, the editor has to make up a reason, this is the correct attitude!

What does it mean to guess?

Quan Shufang was even more surprised, he originally admired Li Rizhi very much, and thought that he was inferior, but Li Rizhi actually replied like this, he didn't understand this, he couldn't bear it, he said: "Brother Li, how can you say that you guessed, are you joking?" ”

Li Rizhi shook his head and said to Peng Ji: "The little nephew is not joking, he really guessed, the little nephew has an intuition, this corpse is floated out of the Jidou view, but how can a corpse float out, the little nephew has not been investigated, everything is imaginary, so it can only be said to be guessed!" ”

As soon as he answered, Peng Ji was immediately satisfied, Li Rizhi was telling the truth, isn't it just guessing out of thin air, Li Rizhi is telling the truth, this is called honesty, of course he is satisfied.

And for the officials in charge, the most annoying person is the kind of person who thinks nonsense and then talks nonsense, this kind of person is easy to delay things, Peng Ji hates this kind of person the most.

Quan Shu sighed and thought, "Can you still answer like that?" This is different from what my husband taught me when I was in school! ”

Quan Shu Fang is studying in a private school, and when the teacher asks the student, he can accept the wrong answer, but he must not accept the answer of "I don't know", "I guess yes", that is definitely to hit the palm of his hand, so Quan Shu Fang has been since he was a child, whether he really knows it or not, he must make up a reason that seems to be what he really knows!

He has always been like this, but today he has found a new way to answer, guessing is guessing, to tell the truth, he can be loved by others even more, look at Peng Ji's attitude of nodding again and again, you know that he is very satisfied with Li Rizhi.

Quan Shufang made up his mind in his heart, when he went to the investment bank paper again, if someone asked him a question, if he didn't know, then he had to answer truthfully and say that he didn't know, or think of an answer first, and then say that he guessed, so that he might be appreciated by others, and he didn't know!

Li Rizhi didn't know what Quan Shufang thought, if he knew, then he must dissuade him, he dared to guess, it was because he knew Peng Ji, the nephew of the world was screaming, and Peng Ji also knew that he would solve the case, and indeed he had the ability to do so, so it didn't matter if he answered like this, but if he changed to someone he didn't know, Li Rizhi wouldn't answer like this.

It's not okay for Quan Shufang to learn Li Rizhi indiscriminately, it will make his investment bank paper even more unsuccessful!

At this time, the officials had already salvaged the corpse and placed it flat on the ground, and the corpse had been soaked in water for too long, and it was already unrecognizable, and it was really impossible to judge the original face from the appearance alone.

Rong Shuxiang has been waiting beside him, he is very nervous, he and his brother Rong Shuzhi have a deep brotherhood, he is afraid that this corpse is his brother, and the corpse is placed on the shore, so he walks over.

Peng Ji asked: "Rong Shuxiang, there has only been such a case of the disappearance of an adult man in recent days, you go up and identify the body, see if this body is your brother, recognize it carefully." ”

The corpse soaked in the river was quite terrifying, but Sora Shuzhi looked at it very carefully, but looking at his expression, he couldn't recognize whether the corpse was his brother or not, he picked up a branch from the ground, pulled the corpse's hand away, he went to see the corpse's right hand, only glanced at it, then sat down and cried.

As soon as Rong Shuxiang cried like this, Peng Ji and Li Rizhi both knew that this corpse belonged to Rong Shuzhi!

Peng Ji knew to Li Ri: "Nephew Li Xian, it seems that you guessed right, Rong Shuxiang's brother is called Rong Shuzhi, and he went to the Jidouguan a few days ago, and then disappeared, so Rong Shuxiang came to report to the official." However, it's also strange, it's just a Taoist temple, how can it kill people? ”

Peng Ji, as the county magistrate of Chang'an County, of course knew that there was such a Taoist temple in the jurisdiction, and he also knew that the practitioners in the temple were all female Taoist priests, after all, there were very few such Taoist temples, but he had never been there, so he didn't know what the situation in the Jidou Temple was like.

Li Rizhi frowned and said, "The little nephew didn't see it with his own eyes, but there is a back garden in that Taoist temple, which is very abnormal, it seems that there are not only Taoist aunts, but also some lay people, both men and women." ”

As soon as he said this, Peng Ji understood, and there was nothing difficult to understand!

Peng Ji was horrified in his heart, there was such an existence in Chang'an County, how could it never be reported, he had been kept in the dark, if it wasn't for the case of the corpse in the river today, I'm afraid he would have been kept hidden.

Li Rizhi said to Rong Shu, who was crying bitterly: "This brother, this corpse is your brother?" How did you conclude that he was your brother? ”

Rong Shuxiang wiped his tears and said: "My brother was born with six fingers on his right hand, and he had six fingers on his right hand, and he didn't feel anything when he was a child, but when my brother was fifteen years old, he was engaged to the current sister-in-law, and was laughed at by his sister-in-law's relatives, saying that he had six fingers on his right hand, and my brother was so angry that he cut off six fingers with a kitchen knife......

When he said this, Li Rizhi and Peng Ji frowned at the same time, and when they were laughed at, they had to chop off their fingers, even if they were six fingers, they couldn't chop them with a kitchen knife, this person's personality was a little impatient.

Rong Shuxiang said again: "But my brother's hand was unsteady at the time, and he chopped it down with a kitchen knife, not only chopped off the six fingers, but also chopped off most of the good fingers, and the wound was oblique, and the cut was very large, which is very different from ordinary people, even if the corpse was swollen by the river, this feature would not disappear, so the villain could recognize him!" ”

I see, that means that he will not recognize the wrong person, and Rong Shuzhi originally disappeared in Jidouguan.

Li Rizhi asked: "You said that your brother disappeared in Jidouguan, so did you go to the temple to look for it?" ”

Rong Shu said: "I've been there, but I haven't even entered the gate." After my sister-in-law came home, she said that she didn't see my brother and wouldn't let me look for it, but I still went, but I didn't go to the gate, and the Taoist aunt inside only said that there was no such person as my brother in the temple, so she closed the door, and the villain couldn't get in at all! ”

Li Rizhi had already guessed six or seven points in his heart, but he still asked, "What is the relationship between your brother and sister-in-law, and what is going on with them?" ”

Rong Shuxiang wiped his tears, hesitated, and then made up his mind, and said: "Originally, this is a family ugly, the villain doesn't want to say it, but the elder brother is gone, if it is just like that, wouldn't he be wronged under Jiuquan, the villain decided to tell the truth!" ”

Li Rizhi glanced around, and saw that among the lively people, the officials did not talk about it, there were many scholars, and a few monks, but the monks of the Taoist Academy obviously did not like to be troubled, and those monks stood far away, belonging to the kind where you call me if you have something, and I don't go to you to make do with it.

Li Rizhi said to Peng Ji: "Peng Shibo, if you can't ensure that one hit will be hit, then you must avoid startling the snake!" ”

There must be a problem with that Jidou view, if you go to arrest people with great fanfare at this time, maybe you can't catch people, in addition to Daogu, those laymen and women may not be in the view at the same time, so check the Jidou view, it is possible to catch people incompletely, or even simply can't catch people, if only some Daogu, they can not admit it at all, if there is only Daogu in the view, isn't this a normal thing, what is there to doubt!

Peng Ji immediately understood what he meant, nodded and said, "Yes, at this stage of this case, it really shouldn't attract too many people's attention." ”

He beckoned to the officials and instructed: "Let the scholars go back to the temple, if they want to enter the city, they should enter the city as soon as possible, and the monks are not allowed to walk around, if someone comes to inquire, you will say that something happened to the scholars who are staying in the temple, especially if there is a female Taoist priest from Jidouguan who comes to inquire, and you must reply vaguely, so that they think that it has nothing to do with Jidouguan!" ”

The officials immediately agreed, they are all very sensible, if there is really a problem with Jidouguan, it must be a big problem, their little officials can't get involved, and then they said that the aunts didn't give them benefits, they don't need to help them, of course, even if they give benefits, they don't dare to help at this moment, if they anger the county commander, their errand will be gone, then it means nothing.

Peng Ji took Rong Shuxiang to enter the Dedao Courtyard, found a side room, and after entering, asked Li Rizhi to close the door, there were only Peng Ji, Li Rizhi and Rong Shuxiang in the house.

Peng Ji said: "Since you say that it is a family ugly, then the fewer people who know, the better, now there are only three people, you can say it!" ”

After this short period of time, Rong Shuxiang's mood has stabilized, and he said: "County Zun, the villain and his brother's family live outside the city, in fact, it is not too far from this Taoist courtyard and that Jidouguan, but it is seven or eight miles, and you can reach it in half a day by riding a donkey. ”

Peng Ji nodded and said, "If it weren't close, your sister-in-law wouldn't be able to go back and forth from Jidouguan alone!" ”

Rong Shuxiang said again: "The villain and his brother's family life is quite passable, although it is not a rich and noble family, but the life is quite well-off, and there is no worry about food and clothing." My brother continued two years ago and married a young and beautiful wife, who is my current sister-in-law, but I don't know that my sister-in-law is romantic, uneasy in the room, and unable to have children, so that my brother has no children until now. ”

Li Rizhi thought to himself: "Seeing that you are not young, your brother must be older than you, he still has no son, it is only related to him and his deceased wife, and I am afraid it has nothing to do with this newly married woman!" ”

In this era, if a husband and wife can't have children, they will generally blame the woman and not the man, so Rong Shuxiang said this, although it is unfair, but it is in line with the reality at this time.

Rong Shuxiang said: "Later, my sister-in-law went around begging for a son to worship God, went to a lot of monasteries, but after going to Jidouguan, she never went anywhere else, and almost every few days, at first my brother did not pay attention, but then found that my sister-in-law often has money to buy new clothes, he was very surprised, because my sister-in-law was born poor, there is no dowry, how can there be extra money, so my brother asked her, she said that she helped the Taoist aunts of Jidouguan to recite scriptures, and the Taoist aunts rewarded her with some money. ”

Li Rizhi and Peng Ji glanced at each other, this reason is nonsense, as a Taoist priest who practices in Taoism, whether it is a male Taoist priest or a female Taoist priest, reciting scriptures is a basic homework, they are right to read to others, how can it be someone else to read to them, this reason is too far-fetched to be believed.

But Rong Shuxiang said: "My brother believes it is true......

Li Rizhi and Peng Ji sighed at the same time, poor people, there must be something unintelligent!

Rong Shuxiang also felt embarrassed, but still said: "My brother originally trusted my sister-in-law very much, but she went to Jidouguan several times more and more often, and often stayed overnight in Jidouguan, and every time she went, she had to dress up, not only that, but she also began to have a lot of gold and silver jewelry, all of which were given by the Taoist aunts, and my brother couldn't believe it anymore, and finally became suspicious." ”

Li Ri knew: "Did your brother catch the handle of your sister-in-law, what evidence is there?" ”

Rong Shu hesitated to Weiyi, and finally decided to say, he said: "Sister-in-law seems to know a noble person, and she uses the things of the heavenly family!" ”
