Liu Changyuan won the Jinshi, but he didn't have much advantage in arranging the position, but with Liu Mu, Liu Changyuan mixed up with the official position of the household department from the fifth grade.

It will take two months to take office.

The Liu family had a relaxed and comfortable life, although Liu Mu did not accept the emperor to see him, but at least he handled official affairs properly, and he never caused trouble on weekdays, but he was very peaceful.

Since talking to Jing Yuan once, he hasn't come to Ji Yanning again.

It's just that Ji Yanning's body has become weaker and weaker in the past two days.

Her body is too difficult to control.

It's as if you've put your life in the hands of someone else.

Last time, she asked Mao Yun to investigate this matter, but now there are still no clues, Ji Yanning naturally knows that such a thing is not easy to investigate, but she can't arrest the people from Qingyanguan for interrogation.

So Ji Yanning planned to go to Huguo Temple again.

She thought that the abbot of the Pure Heart in the Huguo Temple should know about it.

Now that the emperor is biased towards Taoism and is closer to Qingyanguan, he doesn't care so much about Huguo Temple, and now Ji Yanning has passed, and he doesn't think about it.

So she and Yuan Jiaojiao went to Huguo Temple together, always looking for some clues.

There is no snow today, the weather is a little warmer, the sky is good when you go out, all the way to the outside of the city, to the foot of the Huguosi Mountain, the sun is very warm, reflecting the coachman who is in a hurry to feel warm.

Yuan Jiaojiao lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked outside, this road is not easy to walk, probably because there were many horses passing by after the snow just melted some time ago, but it made this road a little potholed.

But fortunately, the carriage used by Ji Yanning is more luxurious than ordinary carriages, and even if he walks on such a road, he will not feel too bumpy.

"It's such a difficult road, I wish I had known to come before the snow melts. Yuan Jiaojiao said to Ji Yanning.

Ji Yanning said: "We are not immortals, how do we know that this road will be like this these days? But there are no festivals recently, and there are more people on weekdays except for the fifteenth day of the new year, so it shouldn't be like this." ”

Yuan Jiaojiao thought for a while: "Yes, ordinary people come to pray for blessings, but they all come by driving carriages, looking at the marks on this road, it is true that there are many horseshoe prints, and the ruts seem to be a little less." ”

Ji Yanning listened to Yuan Jiaojiao's words, her eyes became dark, and her brows furrowed.

Yuan Jiaojiao looked at her solemn appearance and couldn't help asking, "What's wrong?"

Ji Yanning pondered for a moment and shook his head again: "Maybe I'm thinking too much." ”

"What do you think too much?" Yuan Jiao said coquettishly, "You can't say half of the words, but not everyone can guess the meaning of your words, and it's not fun to play dumb riddles." ”

Seeing Yuan Jiaojiao's appearance, Ji Yanning came back to her senses, but she didn't hide it from her: "I think something may have happened to Huguo Temple." ”

Yuan Jiaojiao saw that her face didn't seem to be fake, her eyes lit up, and she leaned out again, looking at the marks on the road.

The corners of her mouth curled up with a stiff arc: "Maybe we thought wrong." ”

These horseshoe prints are not shallow, and they look like they were left over from these two days, and the snow just melted on the first two days, and it was not a festival day, and most of the people in the temple went down the mountain by horse-drawn carts.

This road only leads to Huguo Temple, so these people are heading for Huguo Temple.

"So it's just speculation. Ji Yanning said.

Yuan Jiaojiao really convinced Ji Yanning, just from this potholed road, she was able to guess some things.

She was a little worried, looked at Ji Yanning and asked, "Since that's the case, then we won't get involved in these things, let's turn around?"

Ji Yanning said: "It's okay, let's go and see first, if something really happens, there can't be no news in Chang'an City." ”

Yuan Jiaojiao thought about it, Huguo Temple is the first temple in Chang'an, although it is outside the city, but it is not too far from the city, if there is really something, it should also be passed back.

The carriage did not stop and continued on its way to the Gokokuji Temple.

As soon as I arrived at the foot of the mountain, I heard the sound of chanting from the Huguo Temple, which sounded worse than before, and the smell of those incense seemed to be a little stronger.

Ji Yanning and Yuan Jiaojiao got out of the carriage and stood in front of Huguo Temple, glancing at each other.

Seeing that someone was coming, a little monk stepped forward.

Ji Yanning said to the little monk: "This little master, what are the rituals in the temple? I made an appointment with my friends to come over to pray for blessings, I wonder if it is convenient?"

The little monk clasped his hands together and saluted Ji Yanning and said, "The two female donors, I'm really sorry, it's not convenient for our temple to entertain pilgrims today." ”

"Why is this?" Yuan Jiaojiao couldn't help but ask the doubts in her heart.

The little monk lowered his head and said, "Amitabha, it's because our pure-hearted abbot has passed away. ”

Hearing this news, Ji Yanning's pupils widened slightly, and he didn't believe it.

She remembered that the abbot of the pure heart, who didn't look very old and was still in good health, how could he die so quickly?

She just wanted to come over to visit today, isn't it pure-hearted?

Seeing that Ji Yanning and Yuan Jiaojiao didn't speak, the little monk said again: "The two donors should come again on another day, but I'm afraid that our temple will not receive ordinary pilgrims within a month." ”

Ji Yanning bowed his head slightly and said, "Thank you little master for telling me to mourn the past." ”

The little monk bowed his head and immediately turned around and entered the temple.

Yuan Jiaojiao leaned towards Ji Yanning and asked in a low voice in her ear, "Is there something wrong?" Do you want me to investigate?"

Ji Yanning grabbed her wrist and said, "Don't act rashly, don't wade into this troubled water, it has nothing to do with us." ”

Yuan Jiaojiao was a little puzzled, and before she could continue to say anything, she was held by Ji Yanning by the wrist and got into the carriage.

This Huguo Temple is so strange, she just wants to find out the truth.

The carriage had just arrived at Huguo Temple, and it began to turn around and walk back again.

It was already a little far away from the Huguo Temple, and Yuan Jiaojiao asked, "Didn't you come to find the abbot of Qingxin today?

Ji Yanning said: "I'm afraid that if you are curious, you will be caught." ”

Hearing Ji Yanning say this, Yuan Jiaojiao's face changed slightly, and she believed her words.

"Then just let it go?" Yuan Jiaojiao was a little frustrated.

Ji Yanning said: "If the abbot of Qingxin died by mistake, then why didn't Huguo Temple report the case? If it is reported, it should be taken over by Dali Temple or the Criminal Department, but have you heard of this case?"

Duan Wuflaw is the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, she said yesterday that she would go to Huguo Temple with Ji Yanning to offer incense, and Duan Wuflaw also asked her to be careful not to run around.

But there is no mention of the death of the abbot of Huguo Temple.

In other words, Dali Temple didn't know about this matter at all, and if there was a case on the side of the Criminal Department, there would not be no rumors.

In this way, the people of Huguo Temple really didn't report the crime!

Yuan Jiaojiao thought about it carefully and patted her thigh: "Could it be that they did it themselves, and then they want to hide it?

Ji Yanning glanced at her and did not speak.

Yuan Jiaojiao looked at Ji Yanning's eyes and knew that she might have guessed wrong.

She sneered, "Otherwise, who else can shut up their Huguo Temple?"

After she said this, Ji Yanning looked at her embarrassedly.

"Who else can shut up Huguo Temple......" Yuan Jiaojiao whispered this sentence again, and suddenly her eyes widened, as if she had thought of something, and said, "It's the emperor!"

Ji Yanning stretched out his finger to her lips and said, "Although no one else can hear you in the carriage now, don't be so surprised." ”

Yuan Jiaojiao felt a little embarrassed.

She just said it casually, but if you think about it carefully, except for the emperor, who can shut up the entire Huguo Temple?

Could it be that Huguo Temple is still thinking about going to the emperor's troubles?

I heard that the emperor sometimes comes to Huguo Temple, but I didn't expect that this time after he favored Qingyanguan, he would actually attack the abbot of Qingxin.

Ji Yanning frowned slightly, still feeling that there were a lot of doubts.

"I always feel that things are not so simple, so let's ask the emperor if he left the palace yesterday. Ji Yanning said.

Even if the emperor is out of the palace, his whereabouts are very secret, and even the three princes may not be able to find his traces.

Yuan Jiaojiao said again: "Looking at the horse's hoof marks on the road, it doesn't look like a carriage passing by, I don't think he will come in person." ”

Ji Yanning said: "It's because he didn't come in person, so this matter was unexpected, maybe it wasn't the emperor's people who did it." ”

Yuan Jiaojiao didn't understand, but asked: "But the people of Huguo Temple are not stupid, if it wasn't done by the emperor's people, it would be murder, shouldn't the murder be reported to the official? Not to mention that the person who died was still their abbot, and he was not an ordinary little monk." ”

Ji Yanning's eyes moved slightly, and he said, "The people of Huguo Temple are not stupid, what if someone pretends to be the emperor?"

Yuan Jiaojiao said: "Where is the emperor's person so easy to pretend?"

"I'm just speculating. Ji Yanning said, "After all, we don't know anything now. ”

Yuan Jiaojiao listened to Ji Yanning's words, and slandered in her heart, can this be called ignorance?

This is almost the case to be deduced.

She said, "But originally you couldn't see the abbot of Qingxin. ”

A trace of loss flashed in Ji Yanning's eyes, and he said, "It's okay, there are some things that you really can't ask for." ”

If she had come earlier, she might have been able to meet Abbot Pure Heart.

But the abbot of Qingxin may also be the emperor's person, how can he help himself, maybe he will expose himself if he is sent to the door.

There are gains and losses, in fact, she is not absolutely sure in this matter, she just wants to break through the current state of no clues in the bones, she is too anxious.

But she didn't feel like she wanted to wait any longer.

When she made up her mind, she didn't expect the abbot of Qingxin to die, and she didn't know if it was a coincidence, but she felt very strange.

Is there someone you don't know about who keeps watching you secretly?
