Hongzhi came to the north hall and saw that the three masons were working hard, trying to restore the temple eaves to their old appearance, and the skills of the craftsmen were also good, and the abbot Hongzhi was very satisfied. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

After looking at it for a while, Abbot Hongzhi went back to the meditation room. On the table in the meditation room is a Buddha box, and the string of precious white pearls is placed in the box. Hongzhi opened the box, and there was a ball of light, and it was a glittering pearl. This string of pearls is so precious that Hongzhi usually doesn't take it out and wear it. After looking at it for a while, Abbot Hongzhi put the string of pearls back into the box and closed the lid.

Purun returned to Ci'en Temple from Jingzhao Mansion, Hongzhi asked about Purun's situation, and Purun honestly told the abbot what happened. Hongzhi knew Purun's personality, comforted him and let him rest, after all, this is not a glorious thing.

The three masons had already repaired the broken parts of the temple eaves in advance, and Hongzhi had inspected the temple eaves, so he calculated the wages for them, and the three masons left happily.

As soon as the three masons stepped out of the temple gate, the abbot Hongzhi returned to the meditation room and found that the pearl strings in the meditation room were missing. The white pearl was given by Emperor Zetian, and its loss was also a major event, and everyone could not leave the temple for the time being, and the three masons were recovered to the temple for this reason.

Every monk in the temple knows that there is a string of white pearls in the abbot's meditation room, which is already an open secret, and the white pearls have been in the Temple of Mercy and Grace for several years, and they have nothing to do, why did they suddenly disappear?

When Zhang Baoer and Zhou Xian came to Ci'en Temple, Ci'en Temple was already in a mess.

Zhang Bao'er shook her head and said: "Just out of the Purun murder, who would have thought that the beads would be lost again, what happened to this Temple of Mercy and Grace?" ”

Because the temple eaves have been repaired these days, all pilgrims have been refused, and the entry and exit of personnel is not complicated. Therefore, whoever steals the beads will now be in the monastery.

After Zhang Baoer had a preliminary understanding of the situation, she decided to put the matter of Purun aside and investigate the case of the loss of the pearl string first.

There were three masons, the thin one called himself Ma Bin, the one with a beard on his face called himself Zhu Shi, and the other tall man called himself Hu Hai. After checking the mason's bag, except for an abacus from Ma Bin, it was nothing more than tools such as masons! There's nothing else, and it doesn't seem to have anything to do with them!

Zhang Baoer saw that the abacus that Ma Bin was carrying on his waist was very eye-catching, so he asked: "Masons also bring abacus when they go to work?" ”

Hu Hai sneered: "He is just pretending to be wealthy, Ma Bin was originally a guy in a big warehouse shop, and he was used to fiddling with abacus, but now he is left to do hard work, and he is reluctant to throw it away." ”

"Oh!" Zhang Bao'er nodded and instructed the three of them: "Before this case is investigated, the three of you are not allowed to leave, do you understand?" ”

The three of them hurriedly agreed.

Zhang Bao'er asked people to investigate the monks in the temple, and except for the abbot Hongzhi, no one else had the opportunity to touch the string of pearls.

Could it be that Hongzhi is presiding over the guard and stealing?

Unlikely, if he really wanted to do this, he wouldn't have to wait years.

Zhou Xian sighed on the side: "I heard about the pearls back then, it is said that Princess Taiping also wanted those beads, and asked the Emperor Zetian for a long time, but the Emperor Zetian did not agree, and finally gave it to the Temple of Mercy and Grace, which shows that the Temple of Mercy and Grace is really a favor!" ”

Zhang Bao'er didn't speak, and Zhou Xian continued to complain: "Actually, these beads are really not suitable for being used as Buddhist beads, making them into necklaces, even if they are made into abacus beads, they are more suitable than making Buddhist beads." If that were the case, there wouldn't be today's case! ”

Zhou Xian's words made Zhang Bao'er have a flash of inspiration, and he immediately interrogated the three masons again.

As soon as the three of them arrived, Zhang Baoer ordered Ma Bin to quickly snatch the abacus he was carrying on his waist.

This abacus beads are all ink-colored, Zhang Baoer held it in his hand, and after fiddling with the abacus up and down, he ordered to bring a basin of hot alkaline water, and soak the abacus in the basin in public. It's a good one to steal beams and change columns. Ma Bin was paralyzed in fright!

When arresting Ma Bin, he unfortunately took off Ma Bin's hood. It turns out that Ma Bin was born bald, and all he wears on his head is a wig!

Ma Bin's pearl theft case also revealed that he was the murderer of Hu Mengfang.

The pearl Buddha twist of the Temple of Mercy and Grace was given by the Emperor Zetian, and the preciousness is naturally not a problem. Ma Bin has long wanted to steal the pearls, but he has no chance, and this time he is just in time for Purun to invite the mason to the Temple of Mercy and Grace, so he must steal it.

The three of them followed Purun up the mountain, and Ma Bin walked behind, seeing Purun secretly discarding a paper ball on the road. Ma Bin hid it casually and discovered the secret on the note. He secretly observed Pu Run, and felt that he would not go to Hu Mengfang's appointment, because he was a bald head. At that moment, I wanted to take the name of Purun and do that bad thing. He took off the hood, the black light was blind, how could the prodigal girl Hu Mengfang think that it was fake Purun when she touched his bald head?

That night, Ma Bin quietly went down from the temple, and after going to Hu's house, he boldly entered Hu Mengfang's half-hidden door, and after entering, Hu Mengfang was not allowed to light the lamp, and the two hurriedly finished the reluctance to do the trick.

After presumably because Ma Bin was tired, Hu Mengfang had to get up and light the lamp, and when he saw that the man on the bed was not Purun, Hu Mengfang slapped him over, and woke Ma Bin up, Hu Mengfang was not easy to mess with, and fought with Ma Bin, Ma Bin was afraid that he would not be able to get out, so he looked at a pair of scissors at the corner of the table, and simply stabbed Hu Mengfang to death.

Ma Bin sneaked back to the monastery that night, and no one knew that he was going to commit the murder.

Zhou Xian went to the temple to arrest people, he trembled with fear on the eaves of the temple, but fortunately he captured Purun. I will be relieved and bolder. He found that the string of white pearls was hidden in the abbot's meditation room, and the pearl hiding place was not a secret, and it also created the conditions for him to easily get his hands on it. After stealing the string of white pearls, cut them off one by one, put them in the ink line groove box for the masons with special point lines, apply the ink to each bead, and then dip them in water glue, and then discard the wooden beads on the abacus, and the blackened pearls were worn and embellished on the twelve thin copper rods of the original abacus, and the wooden frame was solidified, and they were carried with them.

……

On the tenth day of the first month of this month, it was the day of the Great Dynasty, and Zhang Baoer couldn't dodge, so she had to go to the court.

This time, Li Xian mentioned the matter of Yaxian again, and all the courtiers were surprisingly unanimous and agreed that Empress Wei was the candidate for Yaxian, and the matter was finally settled.

Then the court discussed some other affairs, and seeing that the court meeting was about to end, Li Xian was about to announce the dissolution of the court, but saw a person come out: "Your Majesty, Weichen has something important to do!" ”

It was the Imperial Shi Qian Song, the servant of the Imperial Historical Observatory from the Sixth Grade, who spoke.
