Chapter 13: Temple Blessing Confession
The quiet night made Di Renjie rest very well, and as soon as the sky was bright, Di Renjie and Li Yuanfang had already gotten up!
Just after the hour, the officials of the county government brought breakfast to Di Renjie and Li Yuanfang!
"Mr. Huai, the master said that you should follow him to the prisoner after breakfast!" The official said while laying out the food!
"Oh! The grandfather said it yesterday, but he wants to interrogate Mo Qingfeng from the temple of Emperor Guan? Di Renjie asked!
"Hmmm! Who else but him, sir, you eat slowly, it's not yet time to ascend to the hall, I'll invite you again in a while! After saying that, the official took the tray and withdrew!
"Sir, sir, what are you thinking?" Li Yuanfang was a little stunned when he saw Di Renjie picking up the bowl but not moving his chopsticks, and asked again and again!
"Huh? Oh, nothing, let's eat first, and after eating, we'll go to the hall to have a look! Di Renjie came back to his senses and began to eat!
Soon, Di Renjie and Li Yuanfang finished eating, and a government official came to invite, and the two followed the government officer to the second hall of the county government, and the county commander Lin Yongtai was already waiting!
"The grass people have seen the master!" Di Renjie and Li Yuanfang saluted!
"Mr. Huai, I'm tired!" Lin Yongtai, the county magistrate, said respectfully!
"You're so polite!" Di Renjie replied!
"Today's arraignment temple wishes Mo Qingfeng, but it is inconvenient for Mr. to go to the court, please ask Mr. and Gao Tu to be wronged behind this screen for a while!" Lin Xianling said apologetically!
"The master doesn't have to be formal, the master just goes to the court to ask about the case, and my master and apprentice are in the back to listen!" Di Renjie Shili said!
Lin Xian Ling didn't say anything more, straightened up, and stepped into the lobby!
Di Renjie sat down behind the screen, and together with Li Yuanfang, quietly listened to the voices in the hall!
"Wei ...... Wu ......"
Syllable! A crisp startle made the public hall quiet instantly!
"Who is kneeling in the hall? Get your name in! Lin Xian Ling shouted!
"The villain Baishi Mountain Guandi Temple wishes Mo Qingfeng to knock on the Qingtian Lord!" There was Mo Daochang's voice in the hall!
"Bold Daoist! Are you guilty? Lin County Ling reprimanded!
"The grass people are guilty!" Mo Daochang's voice was a little empty!
Hearing Miao Zhu say that they were guilty, Di Renjie and Li Yuanfang couldn't help but feel a little nervous in their hearts, and they straightened up unconsciously!
"If you know your sin, you don't bring it from the truth!" Lin County Ling said!
"Yes! Back to the eldest master, the murder in the Guandi Temple was committed by a villain! Willing to be punished by the great master! Mo Daochang said tremblingly!
Hearing Miao Zhu's words, Di Renjie and Li Yuanfanggu were shocked, Li Yuanfang looked at Di Renjie in surprise, and just wanted to speak, but was stopped by Di Renjie, signaling him to continue listening quietly!
"Oh? Since it was you who did it, then you should tell the story before and after! Lin County Ling said!
"Yes! That day, the drunkard broke into the temple, blasphemed the gods for no reason, and repeatedly spoke disrespectfully to the villain, the villain was really angry, so he tricked him to a secluded place in the backyard, first attacked him with a green brick, and knocked him down, I was worried that he would not die, so I beat him a few times, and later, I saw that he was not breathing before stopping, I couldn't think of what to do with the body for a while, and I was worried that someone would recognize him and go to the official, so I smashed his head with a big stone, knowing that he was smashed beyond recognition, and at night, I dragged him to the top of the main hall, and then pry down the statue of Guan Gong, and hypothetical that the gods were manifested......" After Mo Daochang finished speaking, he collapsed to the ground as if deflated!
"What a vicious Taoist! Where are the bricks and stones you said you used, and where is the crowbar that pries the idol? Lin County Ling asked!
"The bricks and stones were thrown into the well by the villain, and the crowbar was placed by the villain in the firewood room in the temple!" Mo Daochang replied!
"Someone! Hurry up and go to the Guandi Temple to get the evidence! "Lin County ordered it!
Soon, the messenger rushed to the Guandi Temple, and sure enough, he found a crowbar in the firewood room and presented it to the book case of Lin County Order.
"Bold Daoist, as a temple blessing, you should have compassion in your heart, how can you do such a cruel thing, it is really unreasonable! Come on, let him sign the confession! Put the criminal Mo Qingfeng in prison and wait for his fate! Retire! ”
Lin County ordered a big shout and retreated, and the official pulled up Mo Qingfeng, who was paralyzed on the ground, and escorted him back to the cell!
From the beginning of the copywriting of the Linxian Lingshengtang, Di Renjie fell into contemplation, and he still didn't come back to his senses until he retreated!
"Sir! Mr! Withdrawn! Li Yuanfang reminded on the side!
"Oh!" After a while, Di Renjie came back to his senses!
As soon as Di Renjie got up, the county commander Lin Yongtai came over!
"Mr. hard work, the official thought that this Mo Qingfeng would be clever in the hall, but I didn't expect him to talk to him, and the bad gentleman is sitting here, I'm really sorry!" Lin Xian Ling said very politely!
"It doesn't matter! Anyway! The master is aware of everything, and he is not leaking when he is promoted to the court, and he admires it! Di Renjie replied!
"Sir, praise falsely!" Lin County ordered back!
"My grandfather is busy, so it's inconvenient for me to wait! Now that the murder of this Guandi Temple has been completed, the two of us still need to continue to hurry, and after a while, we will pack up and our master and apprentice will be on the road! Di Renjie said with a smile on his chin!
"Oh, why didn't you stay longer, sir? I hate to see my husband late, and I want to drink with my husband this afternoon, and Mr. Wanwang appreciates the light? "Lin County ordered to choke!
"Thank you for your kindness, the two of us have been delayed here for a few days, I am afraid that we will miss the trip, he has a fate, we will meet again!" Di Renjie said!
"In that case, the official will not keep Mr. If Mr. Wan Wang comes here again in the future, Mr. Wan Wang will definitely come here for a while! Lin County Ling said very reluctantly!
"Definitely! Certain! I'll take my leave! After speaking, Di Renjie and Li Yuanfang saluted the Lin County Order, turned around and left the second hall!
"Sir, we're just leaving?" Li Yuanfang asked while packing up his things!
Di Renjie was looking out the window intently, his eyes were focused, as if he was distracted, but he heard Li Yuanfang's words very clearly!
"Hmm!" Di Renjie said calmly!
"Sir, do you think that Mo Daochang is the real murderer?" Li Yuanfang asked!
"It's hard to say! Yuanfang, what do you think? Di Renjie asked!
"I don't think it's like how a person who has lived in the mountains for decades can kill a killer because of a stranger's drunken gaffe? And one lives far away in the mountains, the other is in the imperial city, and there is no intersection, I really can't figure it out! Li Yuanfang shook his head and said!
"Hmmm! You have a point! But now the man has confessed! How can this be explained? Di Renjie asked!
"This is also what I have always been puzzled about, how could this Mo Dao Chang suddenly confess?" Li Yuanfang said with a puzzled face!
"I always feel that there is something wrong, is it all wrong that we have inferred before?" Di Renjie said meaningfully!
"Alas! If this temple blessing is wronged, but it has suffered in vain! Li Yuanfang sighed again and again!
After packing up, Di Renjie and Li Yuanfang were just about to go out, when they ran into Lin County Ling and Master Fan Qing!
"Mr. Huai, thank you Mr. Huai for your help this time, I wanted to stay with Mr. for a few more days, but Mr. was in a hurry, the county prepared some dry food and rice, and left it with Mr. on the road to eat!" As he spoke, Lin Xian Ling waved his hand, and Master Fan Qing understood and handed over the package!
"The master is too polite, and we didn't help much! It's a shame to bother adults for a few days! Ashamed! Di Renjie said and took the package and handed it to Li Yuanfang!
"I wonder where Mr. Huai is going?" Lin Xian Ling asked as he walked!
"My master and apprentice have been out for more than half a year, and this trip is back to their hometown in Bingzhou!" Di Renjie smiled!
"Mr. is wandering away, he must be homesick, then I wish Mr. a safe journey!" Lin Xian Ling said gently!
"Thank you, sir! We are saying goodbye, if he sees him in the future, he will raise a glass with the grandfather! Di Renjie laughed and said!
As he was talking, several people had already come to the outside of the county yamen, and the four of them saluted each other and said goodbye!
Lin Xianling looked at the backs of Di Renjie and Li Yuanfang in the distance, and a sense of unfinished business arose, Master Fan raised his eyes and looked at Lin Xianling, and a trace of unnatural expression appeared on his face!
