Song Ruilong called Liu Tianxiong and Wei Bixi over and instructed: "Master, Bixiao, you go to the Mengzhen Temple in this Immortal Mountain to inquire and see if there were any monks last night and did not return to the temple." ”

After Liu Tianxiong and Wei Bixi got the task, they immediately rushed to the Immortal Mountain. Song Ruilong called Tie Chong and Shen Jing over again and instructed: "The two of you take off this monk's pants and put them in a black sack, and go to Fanjiazhuang to inquire and see if anyone knows the dress." ”

After Tie Chong and Shen Jing took the order, Song Ruilong took off the monk's shirt, put it into a black burlap bag, and said to Su Xianrong: "Let's go, let's go to Chenjiazhuang and ask whose clothes it is." ”

Song Ruilong instructed the officials to carry the monk's body back to the county government's morgue for further examination. Song Ruilong and Su Xianrong, under the leadership of Chen Xin'an, soon came to Chenjiazhuang. Song Ruilong is dressed as a ranger, so after many villagers saw him, they did not panic, but only regarded him as a tolerance in the yamen and asked about the situation here. Chen Xin'an took Song Ruilong and Su Xianrong to ask most of the village, but no one knew the dress.

When asked about Chen San, the fourth room of the fifth group in the west of the village, Chen San's eyes widened and said, "This dress seems to be from the fifth group of old Chen." The waist of his clothes, when he was roasting at my house last year, accidentally burned a hole by the fire, and this is the hole. I persuaded him to take off his clothes and make another one, but the old man didn't do it and kept wearing it. But how could this garment be stained with so much blood? Could it be that Lao Chen Tou committed an accident? ”

Song Ruilong put away his clothes and said, "You don't have to worry about it." ”

After Chen Xinan knocked on the door of Lao Chen's head, the door was opened by a man in his forties, his eyes were small, his stature was not tall, and his body was thin, about more than 100 catties.

After the man saw Song Ruilong and Su Xianrong, he said with some surprise: "What's the matter?" ”

Su Xianrong stepped forward and asked, "Have you lost a piece of clothing recently?" ”

The man shook his hand and said, "No." Who's going to steal my clothes? Besides, my clothes are all in tatters, and no one wants them when they are thrown on the street, so who will steal them? Unless he's a fool. ”

After the man had said that, he tried to close the door. Song Ruilong pushed the door with his hand and said, "You can't close the door." ”

The man glared and said, "Who are you?" I haven't broken the law, so why can't I close the door? ”

After Su Xianrong showed the waist card for handling the case, he said: "I believe you also know that in order to improve the efficiency of handling the case, our county magistrate allows us errand boys to take prisoners to the court for interrogation. If you don't commit a crime, I hope you can cooperate with our investigation and get things to light. If you don't want to, then we have to ask you to speak in the county court. ”

Chen Xin'an said to the man: "Chen Changmao, this is our magistrate, why don't you hurry up and kowtow?" ”

Chen Xinan didn't believe in Song Ruilong, but he believed in Chen Xin'an, so he immediately knelt down for Song Ruilong and said, "Xiaomin Chen Changmao has seen Lord Zhixian. ”

Song Ruilong said: "Get up!" Let's go, go to your house and say. ”

Chen Xin'an felt that he couldn't help much there, so he said goodbye and went home. After Song Ruilong walked into Chen Changmao's house, he looked around in the courtyard of Chen Changmao's house, but they didn't find anything suspicious.

Song Ruilong also felt that if Chen Changmao wanted to kill someone, he was afraid that his figure would not be enough, and it would not be easy to carry a monk of more than 150 catties to the dry well under the Immortal Mountain.

Song Ruilong walked into Chen Changmao's upper room and saw that the furnishings in his home were very simple, and there was not even a decent table and chair. The chair that Song Ruilong was sitting on by himself still had one leg dangling there.

Chen Changmao was about to pour tea, and Su Xianrong said, "Uncle Chen, there is no need for tea." We came here to find out, how could this dress be on the body of a monk? ”

When Chen Changmao heard that he was about to ask, he immediately knelt down for Song Ruilong. Song Ruilong covered his shoulder with a fan and said, "Chen Changmao, you don't have to be polite. Just sit and talk. ”

Chen Changmao broke out in a cold sweat, he sat on a very low stool, and said, "My lord, this is all the trouble caused by the small people's greed and cheapness." ”

Song Ruilong was puzzled and said, "So when you go from the first watch to the third watch today, have you seen that monk?" ”

Chen Changmao nodded and said, "Exactly." It was on the third watch, and suddenly, someone outside the door knocked vigorously on the door of the small people's house. Xiaomin hurriedly put on his clothes and opened the door. After Xiaomin opened the door, he saw a tall girl with big feet at the door and said, Uncle, the little woman is tired from walking at night, can you let the little woman drink saliva at your house? At that time, Xiaomin felt that there was something wrong with the woman. First of all, among this woman, there is an eight-foot figure, and Xiaomin has not seen it. Second, this woman is big-footed, which is even rarer. Third, it is rare for this woman's voice to be like a man's. Although Xiaomin thought he was suspicious, he also felt that she was very pitiful, she had no shoes on her feet, gold bracelets on her hands, gold necklaces around her neck, and gold bracelets on her ankles. He also wore silver hairpins in his hair. ”

Su Xianrong suddenly looked at Chen Changmao and said, "Did you think that the monk was hacked to death with a kitchen knife, took the gold and silver jewelry on his body, and then carried him to the foot of the Immortal Mountain and threw him into a dry well?" ”

Chen Changmao trembled in fright and said, "No, no, absolutely not." Although Xiaomin is also a person who loves money, Xiaomin also knows the truth that a gentleman loves money in a proper way. At that time, Xiaomin wanted to let the woman into the house, let him drink water, and leave immediately. But who knew that when the woman walked to the kitchen, it happened that Xiaomin's daughter Chen Cuiling also came out of her room with her clothes on. When Xiaomin's daughter saw the woman, she shouted in fright, "Dad, why did you bring a man dressed as a woman into the house?" Xiao Min took a closer look, he was really a man. The little man grabbed his head with his hand, and his wig actually fell off. ”

Xiaomin picked up the long stick in the courtyard and hit him with a dozen sticks. The monk begged for mercy and said that after sleeping in the box in a daze, when he woke up, he was wearing a woman's clothes, and his monk's clothes could not be found. Please spare your life. I saw that the monk was also kind, and beat him with more than a dozen sticks, but he didn't fight back, so I spared him. In the end, the monk drank water in Xiaomin's house, and left us with the silver hairpin and earrings on his head, saying that he had disturbed us at night, which was regarded as reparation. After saying those words, he was leaving. Xiaomin also felt that he was a monk running around in women's clothes, and he really didn't look good, so he gave him his own set of rotten clothes. So the monk took the clothes of the little people and went out. ”
