Chapter 260: Murder Suspicion

Because of the shouts of the little novice, soon, the monks in the temple and many pilgrims gathered outside Master Ilkong's meditation room.

"Host!" Seeing the fallen master of Yideng, the monk who had helped Yun Qingyan pass the word before was shocked, and hurriedly went to the meditation room, "What the hell is going on?" ”

"Senior Brother Huiming, it's her, it's her who killed the abbot!" Xiao Shami immediately pointed at Yun Qingyan and spoke, and for a while, everyone's eyes converged on Yun Qingyan's body.

And Qiu'er followed everyone to rush over, and when she heard Xiao Shami's words, she instantly turned pale with fright.

"What nonsense are you talking about!"

"I'm not talking nonsense, she was the only one in the room when I came over, right next to the host, who had fallen to the ground with this dagger stuck in her chest."

"I just saw someone sneaking into this meditation room, and when I came in, the real murderer had already jumped out of the window and escaped, I came to check to see if the master of a lamp was still breathing, and I happened to be bumped into by this little master, so I misunderstood." Yun Qingyan explained.

"I didn't see anyone else at all, only you, how can you prove that you are telling the truth." The little novice frowned tightly and spoke.

Yun Qingyan glanced at the back window, "The window is still open, and the murderer jumped out of the window at that time." ”

"This benefactor likes to leave the window open when he is sitting in meditation on weekdays, and this alone does not prove your innocence." Hui Ming looked at Yun Qingyan and frowned.

"I haven't even met Master Yikong, why did I kill him, and I came here today for something, I want to ask him for advice, there is no motive to kill at all."

"That's right, our father-in-law, our young lady came here today for something, I want to consult Master Yikong, and it is a very important matter, it is absolutely impossible to kill someone." Qiu'er walked quickly to Yun Qingyan's side and spoke.

"Even so, she can't get rid of suspicion." Among the pilgrims, one spoke.

"That's right, what a good person Abbot Isakun, now he has been suddenly killed, and the murderer must be caught. Since this girl is suspicious, she can't let it go easily. ”

"That's right, in my opinion, it's better to report to the official, the government will arrest the person and interrogate it carefully, whether it is the murderer or not should be able to know soon."

As soon as these words came out, a group of pilgrims agreed.

"That's right, let's report to the police quickly, and arrest people for interrogation before you know the truth."

Qiu'er was in a hurry and immediately looked at Yun Qingyan.

The princess has a noble status, how can she be arrested and interrogated by the people of the government.

And at this moment, Liu Wushuang's voice suddenly came from among the pilgrims.

"If you want the government to interrogate, you're just afraid that you're wishful thinking."

Liu Wushuang pushed aside the crowd, walked in front of everyone, glanced at the dead abbot, and said with a smile the next moment: "You probably don't know, she is Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, which government dares to interrogate the dignified Her Royal Highness the eldest princess!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the pilgrims who were still talking about it instantly quieted down, and everyone looked at Yun Qingyan in surprise, no one thought that the identity of the other party was actually the eldest princess.

Huiming also looked at Yun Qingyan in surprise, "This donor, you ......"

"This is indeed Her Royal Highness the eldest princess." Qiu'er saw that Liu Wushuang had already spoken, so she naturally no longer hesitated, "The princess is not a murderer at all, if you casually pin the crime on her head, it will be disrespectful!" ”

"Qiu'er." Yun Qingyan shook her head at Qiu'er, looked at the pilgrims, and finally looked at Huiming, "Master Huiming, this princess did follow someone sneaky when she saw it, if you really don't believe it, this princess can cooperate with your investigation, but this princess is definitely not a murderer." ”

Huiming looked hesitant, if the other party was just an ordinary pilgrim, this matter could indeed be reported to the official to deal with, but now the other party turned out to be the eldest princess, such a noble status......

Although it is said that the Son of Heaven is guilty of the same crime as the common people, if it is really the eldest princess who killed the host, then they Puyun Temple will have to seek justice no matter what. But the most troublesome thing now is that there is really no way to prove that the eldest princess is the murderer. If this matter goes too far, and in the end it is found that the murderer is someone else, wouldn't it offend the royal family......

Thinking of this, Hui Ming looked at the little novice again.

"Did you just see the eldest princess killing, or did you just see her next to the host?"

"I, I'm ......," Xiao Shami frowned, "Senior Brother Huiming, I did just see her beside the host, and I didn't see her kill people, but I didn't see anyone else in the room either. ”

"It's because when I pushed the door in, the murderer had already jumped out of the window and fled." Yun Qingyan said.

Huiming hesitated for a while, gritted his teeth and said, "There is indeed no evidence to prove that Her Royal Highness the eldest princess is the murderer, but ...... I still hope that Her Royal Highness the eldest princess can cooperate with the investigation! ”

"It's natural." Yun Qingyan nodded, "This princess came here today, originally because she wanted to ask Master Yikong for advice, but she didn't expect such a thing to happen suddenly. No matter what my identity is, I will definitely cooperate with the investigation in the future, and I also hope to find the murderer as soon as possible, firstly, to completely clear the suspicion on the princess, and secondly, to seek justice for Master Yikong. ”

Yun Qingyan's eyes were open, and his words were very sincere, and the suspicion of Yun Qingyan in the hearts of the pilgrims was reduced a lot.

And Liu Wushuang didn't open his mouth except for making a statement to provoke Yun Qingyan's identity, just standing there with a smile, as if watching the excitement.

Soon, the news of Puyun Temple spread to the imperial city.

Master Yikong is very prestigious among the people, and this matter immediately caused a lot of discussion, and it involved Yun Qingyan, so this case was not the responsibility of the Yamen, but was directly transferred to Dali Temple.

As for who the murderer is, the people are also talking about it. Some people think that Yun Qingyan is indeed innocent, but he just bumped into the murderer, of course, some people think that the murderer is very likely to be Yun Qingyan, and some people even say that even if Yun Qingyan is the murderer, Dali Temple will definitely protect it, after all, she is the eldest princess and has a noble status.

Not only in the imperial city, but also in the imperial palace is also talking about this matter.

However, the focus of attention in the palace is that the crown prince has just had an accident at the celebration, and now the eldest princess is suspected of murder again, does this mean that the status of Queen Chu may also be affected.

In Zhongcui Palace, Queen Chu listened to Hongfeng's report of these rumors in the palace now, and her face was cold.

"It seems that this palace is really too tolerant on weekdays, Hong Feng, you pass on the order of this palace, if anyone in the harem dares to talk about this matter again, it will definitely be severely punished!"
