Chapter 42 Monks are not allowed to lie
Meng Tianchu shook his head and said: "This matter is not appropriate, in fact, what the abbot master said just now also has some truth, the so-called abbot master is related to the pregnant woman who used to hang herself in the pine forest behind the temple, Mrs. Qin broke through the abbot's secret and was killed, it is indeed just my assumption, there is no evidence to corroborate, so the abbot master is only a suspect with a motive and time to commit the crime." Let's continue to investigate. ”
When Qin Yiyun heard Meng Tianchu say this, he also felt that there was some truth, and nodded: "Do you really want everyone to check it out?" ”
Meng Tianchu said: "Case detection is like this, people who may have committed crimes must be eliminated one by one, and no one can be exempted. ”
Feiyan pursed her lips, and whispered to Xia Fengyi: "Brag!" ”
Xia Fengyi looked at Meng Tianchu and shook her head slightly: "I can't say that, the night before we left the capital, I heard my father say that he had helped Lord Di, the magistrate of Shuntian Mansion, solve a difficult case that day, and returned the innocence of a stable woman." I couldn't believe it at the time. ”
Feiyan obviously has a deep prejudice against Meng Tianchu: "Think about the things he did before, you know that he doesn't have this ability, the master said this, it is simply to relax your heart, let you live with him with peace of mind, and deliberately make it up to coax you!" ”
A trace of confusion appeared in Xia Fengyi's eyes: "I don't know what's going on." ”
"Hey! Anyway, whether he can really solve the case or brag, it doesn't matter to Miss, anyway, we'll leave him in a year, whatever! ”
Xia Fengyi sighed softly: "That's right, I hope he really has the ability to solve the case, has this skill, doesn't worry about food and clothing, and can also get another daughter-in-law, really start a family, and we will be at ease when we leave in the future." ”
While their master and servant were muttering quietly on the side, Meng Tianchu was continuing to investigate the case.
Meng Tianchu then asked the little monk Xusong: "Little Master, where are you in the past half an hour?" ”
"Me? I just said I'm sleeping......" Xusong's eyes flickered slightly.
Meng Tianchu glanced him up and down: "Isn't it?" Where did you sleep? ”
"In ...... In my meditation room...... "Xusong is young in the end, and he is a monk, and the monks don't speak, but when he lies, his face suddenly turns red, and he stammers when he speaks."
"Oh?" Meng Tianchu smiled, "Where is the little master's meditation room?" ”
Xusong pointed to a meditation room on the side of the Daxiong Treasure Hall: "There, next to my master's meditation room......"
Meng Tianchu walked over, pushed open the door and looked inside, and sneered: "Hehe, the quilt on the little master's bed is still neatly folded, doesn't the little master never cover the quilt when he sleeps?" ”
Xu Song's face suddenly turned pale, and he said, "I...... This ......"
Meng Tianchu turned around abruptly, stared at Xusong and said coldly, "Anyway, how did you kill Madam Qin?" ”
"No, no...... Not me......! The little monk is a monk, how can he kill! ”
"A monk?" Meng Tianchu sneered, "Will a monk do something to other people's women? Will you meet with other women in the pine forest? ”
Xusong's forehead was sweating, and he lowered his head and trembled: "That's a little monk...... The little monk was in a daze for a while, and he was already awakened by my master......"
"That's good!" Meng Tianchu stepped forward, grabbed Xusong's arm, forcibly pulled him to the statue of Shakyamuni Buddha in the Daxiong Treasure Hall, and said loudly: "Since you claim that you have been awakened and are still a disciple of Buddhism, then you can't lie, now you tell me in front of the Buddha, where have you run for half an hour?" - Remind you that lying will lead to hell in the future! ”
Xusong knelt on the futon, secretly raised his eyes to look at the solemn treasure of the Buddha, couldn't help but shudder, and hurriedly lowered his head.
"Okay, you say, where were you at the time?"
Abbot Xuanyin Xuansheng Buddha said: "Xusong, tell the truth, don't hide it!" ”
Xu Song said: "Yes, I didn't sleep in the meditation room, I went out." ”
"Where did you go?" Meng Tianchu asked.
"Go...... Go walk around the yard! ”
"You're lying!" Meng Tianchu said coldly, "You have been a monk in this ancient temple since you were a child, and you have to clean the temple thoroughly every five days, you are clear about every brick and tile here, and tonight is not the fifteenth Mid-Autumn Festival or the moon and stars, looking at you like this, there is nothing elegant to look at, seeing that it is about to rain this day, at this time you run to the yard for a walk, isn't it a head disease?" ”
"I ...... I really went for a walk in the yard. ”
"Hehe, it's right to take a walk, but it's not to see the scenery, but to have another intention, right?"
"I ...... I didn't...... I really don't......"
"And where have you been? What do you see? Who is there to bear witness? ”
"I ...... I see...... I ......" Under Meng Tianchu's pressing questioning step by step, the back of the loose back was already in a cold sweat, and he trembled and didn't know how to answer.
"Humph! You obviously went to spy on Mrs. Qin, and saw Mrs. Qin going to the toilet alone, trying to do that kind of thing with Mrs. Qin, but Mrs. Qin just deliberately teased and teased you, and did not really want to have an affair with you, you saw that adultery was hopeless, and you were afraid that Mrs. Qin would denounce you, so you strangled her with poison, and then hung the body on the beam of the toilet room, disguised as hanging herself, and in order to further confuse the public, she deliberately said that the female ghost asked for her life. That's the truth! Right? ”
"No...... I didn't kill Mrs. Qin...... I really didn't kill her! I'm just ...... In her back window thought...... Looking for a chance to talk to her......"
"Isn't it?" Meng Tianchu sneered, "You weren't actually woken up by your master, you were still thinking about the appointment between Madam Qin and your pine forest, so you went to her back window and wanted to ask her out." Right? ”
"I ...... I...... I was confused for a while...... "Xusong is not good at lying, and after being told what he thinks, he panicked for a while, and he didn't know how to quibble, and he didn't even think of quibbling."
In the past, when Mrs. Qin was still alive, Qin Yiyun had no temper, but now that Mrs. Qin is dead, he is also bold, and after hearing Xusong's words, he couldn't bear it anymore, Tie Qing stepped forward with a blue face, and kicked Xusong kneeling on the futon with a fierce kick: "You bald donkey!" Dare to beat my mother's idea, or what kind of monk, it's really better than a pig and a dog! ”
The foot was in the middle of the nose, the lips were broken, and the blood suddenly flowed out, and he sat crookedly next to the futon, unable to speak.
