At this time, the abbot of Yuanshu has explained the meaning of the Empress Wu as the emperor in accordance with the "Great Cloud Sutra", and after an incense case in the side compartment, he suddenly stood up and shouted hoarsely: "The queen of heaven is the emperor, it is the trend of the times, the heart of heaven is in line with the will of the people!" If you agree with the queen of heaven to be the emperor, please come here to sign, sign your name, and you can go back with a liter of rice! ”

After this man finished speaking, two shirtless men behind him carried a rice bucket, put it next to the incense case, looked at the people under the stairs with their hands on their waists, and a few big men carried bags of rice on their shoulders, and poured it into it in front of the rice bucket, and after a while, the white rice was sharp.

When the people saw it, they rushed forward, and some people were so anxious that they shouted: "What should I do if I don't know how to read?" I also want to sign, and I also want to agree with the queen of heaven to be the emperor! ”

The man was overjoyed, grabbed the blank booklet with one hand, grabbed the inkstone with the other, and shouted: "If you don't know how to sign and press your handprint, come quickly, you can get rice after pressing your handprint!" ”

Di Renjie's brows furrowed again, and he said in surprise: "Serving the Imperial Shi Fu Youyi? ”

Yang Fan was beside Di Renjie, and when he heard him point out the identity of this person, he couldn't help but glance at that person attentively.

If he had chosen to seek his position by "persuasion", then he should have been the one standing there at this time demagogic to the people, right?

This Fu Youyi is not very old, only in his early thirties, wearing a round-necked and large-sleeved robe, wearing a soft-footed head, dressed as a literati, with good facial features, but he has a good face, he shouted loudly, and his face turned red with excitement.

After all, there are still few ordinary people who don't save for five buckets of rice. It doesn't matter who is the emperor, there will be a liter of rice according to a handprint, and this kind of thing is not done by fools. The people all rushed forward, some of whom had not heard the news beforehand, and the believers who had indeed come to the temple today to offer incense were also glad that they had encountered such a good thing, and rushed up to make a handprint, and then took a liter of rice in their pockets. Leave happily.

Di Renjie glanced at Fu Youyi with disdain, and said to Yang Fan: "Let's go!" ”

The group left the Dharma platform and went around from the side of the Daxiong Treasure Hall to the front of the second main hall. Then he continued on his way.

Di Renjie walked all the way, looking at the environment all the way, and Yang Fan was by his side. Be at ease.

He also heard that when Di Renjie was in charge of Dali Temple, he dealt with thousands of unsolved and backlogged cases a year, and no one appealed to complain, knowing that Di Renjie was a master of criminal prison, but as long as he was not a god who could pass through yin and yang, and could capture the soul of Miao Shenke and ask him clearly, Yang Fan was confident that he would not find out about himself.

Even Di Renjie was suspicious of himself, and he had the ability to eliminate the obstacles from Xue Huaiyi, find out his experience in Luoyang, and be sure that he was the murderer. He didn't have any credentials, unless he continued to investigate and sent someone to Jiaozhi to find out his origins and confirm that there was no such person as Yang Fan there.

But how difficult it is to do this, Di Renjie is a member of the imperial court. At the critical moment when the queen is about to ascend the throne, will he focus on investigating this criminal case? Not to mention anything else, just rescuing that black-toothed Changzhi would involve most of Di Renjie's energy, how could this old man have that leisure.

Di Renjie walked all the way back and walked near the Scripture Pavilion. After looking around, he pointed to the high temple wall on the left and said: "This Tiangong Temple is full of incense, people come and go, such a high wall, if you want to climb over the past without being noticed, then this is the most likely path for him." ”

Yang Fan looked around, nodded and agreed: "Yes, if someone really forced Miao Shenke to commit suicide, and this person appeared during the day, then this place is the most likely!" He pointed to the gap between the Tibetan Pavilion and the temple wall, and said, "Although there are fewer and fewer tourists here, there is no one left. If I were the murderer, I would pretend to be relieved and choose to climb through the crack. ”…,

Di Renjie nodded, stroked his beard and pondered for a moment, then glanced at Yang Fan and said, "You said that if this person appears during the day, then this is the most likely, that is, there is still the possibility of appearing at night?" ”

Yang Fan said: "Although Luojing has a curfew and is not allowed to go to the street at night, this ban is difficult for those thieves and snitches who can fly the eaves and walk the wall. ”

Di Renjie's gray eyebrows wrinkled slightly, and he said slowly: "If that person sneaked into Miao's house at night, it would be even more nowhere to be found." But ......"

He turned his head, looked at the temple wall that was nearly three feet high, smiled slightly, and said firmly: "If there really is such a person, he must have sneaked in during the day!" ”

Yang Fan was shocked in his heart, and hurriedly pretended to be puzzled and said, "How can my uncle make such a judgment?" ”

Di Renjie's eyes narrowed slightly, stroked his beard and said: "Because, Miao Shenke hanged himself in the afternoon, if someone sneaked in in the middle of the night, the time should be the first night, if Miao Shenke moved the idea of suicide because of this, it is impossible for his family to be free of abnormalities when he gets up in the morning, and he will not leave a will for his family with a few words." ”

Di Renjie pondered: "The old man once asked his disciple Du Xian, and that day Miao Shenke was completely normal, teaching him to practice calligraphy as usual, and he also wanted to taste a cup of tea, which is even less like a person who wants to die." Therefore, that person should have sneaked in in the afternoon, and when Du Xian left to make tea for Miao Shenke, he saw Miao Shenke. ”

Yang Fan walked over calmly, stretched out his hand and patted the sturdy high wall, looked up at the wall more than three feet high, and said, "What Di Gong said makes a lot of sense!" ”

Di Renjie said: "After Miao Shenke's death, the news was reported to the palace, and the Queen of Heaven had sent Chen Zuo to carefully examine his body, and there was not even a single scratch or bruise on his body, there was no trace of a twist, and he had never been drugged to cause him to die or fall into a coma, so this 'self-hanging' is likely to be his own noose." With just a few words, someone can make him take the initiative to die......"

Di Renjie took a long breath, put his hands behind his back, and slowly paced under the high wall.

After a visit to Miao's house, Di Renjie also believed that Miao Shenke definitely did not take the initiative to hang himself, it stands to reason that it was the queen of heaven who issued a secret edict and forced him to commit suicide, which is the most reasonable explanation, but the queen of heaven has already admitted it. She didn't kill people! Empress Wu has no reason to hide this.

Then, this case is not easy to handle, because there is no useful evidence at the scene, and it can only be judged from the situation at the scene, the murderer knows more about the Miao family's house and is agile. The experienced Mischief had already examined Miao Shenke's body, judging from the scars. It wasn't that he faked the scene of the hanging after he was strangled, he was indeed hanged alive.

can make Miao Shenke die willingly, and the murderer either knows Miao Shenke's current situation. Forcing him to commit suicide by the edict of the Queen of Heaven is either enough reason for Miao Shenke to believe that he is here. Then Miao Shenke will definitely die if he doesn't want to commit suicide.

But this time, the scope is infinite.

Trying to figure out the holy will and cater to the murderer, this may be there; If you have a personal vendetta with Miao Shenke, this may also be the case.

If it is a personal vendetta, it is even more difficult to investigate, Miao Shenke has been a confidant of the Empress Wu for so many years, and many ulterior secrets are planned and executed through him. Without knowing these secrets, there is no way to lock down the suspect. If you want to know these secrets, you have to ask Empress Wu herself.

He, can he ask how many people the Empress Wu has secretly treated over the years? Could Empress Wu have told him these things? I'm afraid that even she has forgotten how many people the Empress Wu has killed. Miao Shenke died. The one who cares most about why he died is probably after today, but to find out the case, the biggest obstacle is also from the queen of heaven.........

Di Renjie secretly smiled bitterly and said to Yang Fan: "Virtuous nephew, you leave two people here." After the abbot of Tiangong Temple finished speaking, ask him if there are any unusual characters in and out of Tiangong Temple recently, especially on the day when Miao Shenke hanged himself, whether anyone has seen any unusual characters appear near the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, although there is little hope, it is better to ask. ”

Yang Fan hurriedly agreed, turned to Zhang Xitong and said, "Brother Zhang, you ......"

Zhang Xitong didn't wait for him to finish, and said, "I understand, I understand." Zhang Qi, Tian Yan, the two of you stay, and when the abbot of Tiangong Temple finishes speaking the scriptures, you will have a good life to interrogate! ”

The two sturdy sergeants said yes and stepped aside.

Di Renjie glanced around again and walked out.

Yang Fan accompanied Di Renjie out, and after leaving the noisy Tiangong Temple, he glanced at his back, walked two steps quickly, caught up and asked, "Uncle, what should I do about this case?" ”

Di Renjie raised his hand, looked at Miyagi, squinted his eyes and said, "Virtuous nephew, what do you think?" ”

Yang Fan said: "This case is full of suspicions, and there must be something strange. ”

Di Renjie said: "Yes, but there are thousands of clues in this case, and there is no clue about it." If you want to peel off the cocoon, you have to go back to the source, and this source is ......, difficult! Difficult! It's hard."

Di Renjie shook his head, and the group silently crossed the Tianjin Bridge and returned to the front of the palace, Di Renjie said: "Hei Tooth Changzhi was escorted back to Beijing, at this moment he is either in Luoyang Mansion or in the Criminal Department, the virtuous nephew sent a fast brother to Luoyang Mansion to investigate, let's go directly to the Criminal Department to see where he is now placed, the old man wants to see him." ”

As soon as Yang Fan turned around, Zhang Xitong said with a smile: "I understand, I understand, Yue Zitian, you go to Luoyang Mansion, we will accompany Di Shilang to the Criminal Department, if the black tooth Changzhi is imprisoned in Luoyang Mansion, come back early to report!" ”

Yue Zitian agreed and rushed to the direction of Luoyang Mansion, while the rest of the people followed Di Renjie to the Criminal Department.

Yang Fan said in a low voice: "Uncle, the secretary of the Criminal Department is now Zhou Xing, this person is ......, is it appropriate for you to meddle in his case?" ”

Di Renjie said: "The old man doesn't know that it is more appropriate to ask the queen of heaven first, but if he doesn't know what crime the black tooth Chang is arrested and what evidence there is, even if the old man asks the queen of heaven, the queen of heaven will not allow the old man to interfere at all." It is not appropriate to go to meet the black tooth Changzhi first, but the queen of heaven will not be suspicious of the old man because of this. ”

Yang Fan hesitated: "Uncle, the little nephew is saying, Zhou Shangshu is ...... there"

"Oh......"

Di Renjie smiled and said, "You said Zhou Xing, Zhou Xing has a kind temperament and is very good at talking." What's more, when the old man was in charge of Dali Temple, he also worked as a copywriter under the old man, and he will definitely give this face. ”

Zhou Xing, who is ranked among the four cool officials of the Tang Dynasty and whose murderous name can make children stop crying, is actually kind and easy to speak? Yang Fan could hardly believe his ears.

Di Renjie squeezed his eyes at him, and smiled narrowly: "You haven't dealt with Zhou Xing, have you?" If you don't believe the old man's words, you might as well see it with your own eyes later. Hehe, as long as you haven't committed it to him, he will be polite to you! ”
