Chapter 42: Homicide Tragic Arguments
readx;
As the largest temple in Chang'an, Hongfu Temple covers an extremely vast area, and its predecessor was the residence of Yang Su, a powerful minister of the Sui Dynasty. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Yang Su is a powerful minister of the Sui Dynasty, an outstanding military commander is a genius who can write and martial arts, with the southern expedition to the north and the north, invincible, and the merit is high, deeply suspicious of Emperor Wen of Sui.
Yang Su himself is not easy to follow, he is an ambitious guy, conspired with Yang Guang to help Yang Guang achieve the throne, and he is extremely noble. His mansion was more luxurious and magnificent than the princely mansion. However, after Yang Su's death, the Yang family was no longer beautiful.
Yang Xuangan, the son of Yang Su, led the crowd to oppose Sui, and after being destroyed, Yang's mansion suffered the doom of raiding the house.
At that time, Yang Guang doted on Xiao Yu's sister Empress Xiao, so he rewarded the Yang Mansion to the Xiao family. Although the Xiao family was a local nobleman, most of them were incorruptible scribes. The Yang Mansion has been raided, and the luxurious courtyard has long been dilapidated, and it will take countless money to repair it.
The Xiao family accepted the good intentions, but did not have the idea of renovating them.
After the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, Xiao Yu was highly valued by Emperor Gaozu Li Yuan, which coincided with Li Yuan's re-planning of Chang'an and the need to demolish Hongfu Temple. Xiao Yu believed in Buddhism, so he donated the original Yang Mansion and built Hongfu Temple on the original address.
Through this insider, Hongfukuji Temple has the scale it has today. Because Yang Su was more expensive than the princes back then, the mansion was three points larger than the ordinary prince's mansion, and the same was true for Hongfu Temple.
Today's Hongfukuji Temple has been continuously renovated and is divided into six areas, which can be described as distinct.
The front yard is a piece, here is the place where the people gather to buy incense candles, Buddha statues, Buddha beads and other things, the middle is a piece, there are more than 30 rooms, the largest of which the center of the main hall sits a statue of Shakyamuni Buddha, and the other rooms are placed with various Buddha statues for people to worship.
These two places are places where people can walk freely and pray for the Buddha.
The backyard began to be closed to the people.
There are four areas in the backyard, one of which is a courtyard for monks to cultivate, most of these courtyards have a quiet environment and charming scenery, which is an excellent place for cultivation. The other block is where the abbot and some stewards in the temple live, the environment is not very good, but it can be used as a gorgeous word. The remaining two are shabby, one is the dormitory where the monks live in the monastery, and the other is a place for cooking, stacking firewood, and eating.
It's in the monks' dormitory.
The three officials sat on the grass chatting and farting, scolding again and again.
"Fuck the prince, fuck the fucking Doctor Ziguanglu, one by one, nostrils to the sky, what are you proud of, bastard things." The official sitting on the left kept scolding, and his eyes were full of unwillingness and indignation.
The one in the middle was a little timid, glanced at the left and right vigilantly, and saw that there was no one else, so he hurriedly shouted in a low voice: "Old Wei, you are crazy, dare to scold His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Lord Xiao like this, how many heads do you have?" ”
"Good scolding!" The official on the right also said with an indignant face: "What kind of bullshit prince, what kind of thing, what do you think of human life...... If God lends me a guts, I will sue his mother......"
From left to right, they are Wei Qiang, Sun Fan, and Wang Xing, all of whom are officials under the command of Governor Shi and are responsible for handling criminal cases in Chang'an.
Early this morning, they received a report from the novice of Hongfu Temple, saying that there was a murder in the backyard of Hongfu Temple, and the deceased was a mute monk named Jiekong.
Criminal homicide is one of the most serious cases in Datang. Although it is not enough to be qualified for Dali Temple to take over, in their state capital, it needs to be taken very seriously.
For the sake of prudence, the governor of the state sent three highly qualified experts to Hongfu Temple to investigate the murder, that is, Wei Qiang, Sun Fan, and Wang Xing.
The three of them came to Hongfu Temple, routine investigation, after years of experience analysis, the three agreed that foreign invasion kills only 30%, the monks in the temple kill as high as 70%, it is necessary to interrogate all the monks in Hongfu Temple one by one, to find out the real culprit.
They had the right to do this as judges, but when they were executing, they unexpectedly got a summons from Li Chengqian. Li Chengqian asked them to stop judging the case for the time being, and to give priority to the Dharma meeting.
It's's request.
A puja can be held at any time, but human life is at stake.
Some murderers with low psychological quality will have a period of fear after the killing, and experienced officials can interrogate them in a timely manner, and they can judge who the real murderer is from the suspect's expression and casual movements. But as long as they are given a period of psychological preparation, if they want to use this method to find out the real culprit behind the scenes, it will be extremely difficult.
Wei Qiang is a strong person, which immediately explains everything.
But the world is big, and the power is the greatest.
Li Chengqian's extreme uncooperation and his tough attitude ordered them to wait until the end of the puja to investigate the case.
Although the three of them were dissatisfied, they were powerless to turn the sky upside down, so they could only obey orders.
They were powerless to resist Li Chengqian, but their hearts were full of indignation at this contempt for life.
Therefore, he complained more than once, and even directly scolded Li Chengqian for being a bullshit prince and a bastard.
"If Brother Duan knew about this, he would definitely scold us for being a cob......" Wang Xing suddenly sighed, his face ashamed.
Sun Fan also said: "What we lack is Brother Duan's fearless courage, if he is here, he will definitely dare to argue with the prince." ”
Wei Qiang said: "You said that Brother Duan caught that rapist, did you ......?"
Sun Fan replied: "With Brother Duan's skills, catching a rapist should be easy to catch......
The three of them unconsciously talked about a person surnamed Duan, and they all seemed to have a lot of respect for this person called "Brother Duan".
Chang'an East Gate!
Duan Ganzhi escorted a pale prisoner with bruises on his face and entered Chang'an City.
Duan Ganzhi was dressed in yellow, not tall, and his hands and arms were as long as apes, just like the legendary gibbons, and his fingers almost reached his knees. He was Zhou Zhenwei's third apprentice, originally a hunter in the Lingnan Mountains, and was later accepted as an apprentice by Zhou Zhenwei and learned a martial art.
After Zhou Zhenwei was imprisoned in Chang'an Prison, Duan Ganzhi stayed in Chang'an to take care of his master. It's just that Zhou Zhenwei had a special identity at that time, and no one was allowed to meet him. If you want to meet, you can only ask Du He for help and let Du He arrange it.
Duan Ganzhi had nothing to do in Chang'an, so he simply joined the state government and became a fast arrester, so that while taking care of Zhou Zhenwei, he contributed to Datang and reduced Zhou Zhenwei's detention time.
Because he was born as an Orion, Duan Ganzhi's tracking skills were unparalleled in the world, and the prisoner he fancied had not been able to escape from his Five Finger Mountain so far.
However, after more than a year, he has made many meritorious deeds and has become one of the officials of the Chang'an City Prefecture Government. He has strong martial arts, extremely strong tracking ability, and his ability to solve cases is not bad, and more importantly, he can't change his temperament, he is not afraid of heaven and earth, as long as he commits a crime, he doesn't care about the minister, the son of a famous minister, he will be arrested when he is caught, and he will not talk about any feelings, and he will soon be recognized by other officials, and respect him as the eldest brother.
Some time ago, there was a rape case in the suburbs of Chang'an, and the murderer was a man with light skills.
Duan Ganzhi ordered him to be arrested. It took him thirteen days to finally arrest him in a tavern and escort him back to Beijing.
When he came to the state capital, Duan Ganzhi returned to the governor of the state.
In other cities, there are officials such as taishou and county lieutenants who handle criminal cases, but Chang'an is the capital of the country and is different, and there is no taishou. And Dali Temple is responsible for all major cases, some trivial cases, and it is impossible to dispatch Dali Temple, a criminal giant.
Other dynasties had Jingzhao Yin, who was the administrator of the Jingshi region and dealt with some cases of the Jingshi, but the Jingzhao Mansion was unexpectedly not established in the early Tang Dynasty. The administrative body where the capital is located is the Yongzhou Mansion, and the highly-qualified princes serve as the Yongzhou pastor, but these princes are mainly in name and do not do practical things, and it is the governor Shi who is really in charge of Yongzhou affairs.
Duan Ganzhi imprisoned the captured prostitute in a prison and returned to the governor Shi.
The governor of the state is honest and fair, and even Duan Ganzhi is very convinced, and respectfully reports the arrest of the criminals.
Governor Shi was very pleased that he had such a capable subordinate, and said with a smile: "Fortunately, I'm tired all the way, go down and rest first." If nothing happens, go to Hongfuji Temple to take a look, where a murder has occurred. I have sent Wei Qiang, Sun Fan, and Wang Xing to investigate, but I have not received any information about the specific situation for the time being, and it seems that it is a little tricky. ”
Duan Ganzhi replied and said, "No need, I've rested in the post house on the way." I'm going to go to Hongfuji Temple to have a look...... Let's see if we can catch a hand......"
The debate machine watched Du He and Changle leave, his heart was full of reluctance, looking at Changle's charming back, sighing again and again, and secretly screaming pity.
"Ahh The debate machine suddenly felt a burst of urgency, he had been enduring it before, but now he naturally had no reason to continue to endure it, and hurried to the thatched house.
He looked left and right comfortably, and scratched his left hand inadvertently, the more he scratched, the more he scratched, the more he scratched, the more he scratched, the more he scratched,
What's going on?
He didn't know that the problem was in his hands, and his hands were itching to the ground.
The more he scratched, the more itchy he became, and if he didn't scratch, he would be like an ant crawling again, and he couldn't stand it, "What's going on, what's going on!" ”
He cried profusely, and a terrible thought came to his mind, could it be that the Buddha was punishing me?
"Master of Debate...... The puja is about to begin, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is about to leave, so don't let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wait. ”
The debate machine listened to the great urgency, this first meeting, can not leave a bad impression on the prince, everything is focused on the overall situation, endure the itch, and walk step by step.
