Chapter Ninety-Seven: Xuanzang's Death
On the second day after that night, in Chang'an City, a ridiculous law began to circulate, the son of Chen Guangrui, the assassin of Hongzhou, was the monk Xuanzang of Jinguang Temple.
But Chen Guangrui didn't want to recognize Xuanzang, so when Xuanzang came to the door, Xuanzang was expelled from the official post station.
As for why they refuse to recognize each other, no one will come up with a reason. That's how it spreads anyway. Whether it's true or not, who cares?
Bai Chen Guangrui still took Mrs. Chen to Qingyun Restaurant for dinner. However, after Chen Guangrui came, the atmosphere in the restaurant became very strange.
As soon as Chen Guangrui came in, all eyes were focused on Chen Guangrui's body, and then everyone kept pointing at Chen Guangrui. What's more, they have even begun to laugh loudly.
The words of 'tiger poison does not eat children' gradually reached Chen Guangrui's ears
Of course, Chen Guangrui knew what they were discussing, but he didn't make a sound, but in his heart, he had already begun to have some thoughts.
Another day, the rumor spread even more outrageously. Everyone is discussing, it turns out that this Mrs. Chen Guangrui was married later, and Xuanzang is Chen Guangrui's first husband and child.
In order to please her new husband, this Chen Guangrui killed the old lady. However, Xuanzang was smart and escaped, so he was not killed by this Chen Guangrui.
Not only that, in the hands of the monk Xuanzang, there is also evidence that Chen Guangrui killed his wife, and the monk is about to go to the government to report Chen Guangrui.
Anyway, the rumors are getting more and more outrageous, and even some friends of Chen Guangrui's officialdom are asking Chen Guangrui in disguise in the post station.
made Chen Guangrui tireless. In the end, I can only close the door to thank customers.
However, for this rumor, Chen Guangrui didn't want him to continue to circulate in Chang'an City.
This night, Chen Guangrui found his entourage, that is, another dove demon who had been following him, and secretly ordered him.
In the middle of the night, Chen Guangrui's entourage disappeared into the night, and Zheng waited until an hour later before the entourage came back to report the situation to Chen Guangrui.
"My lord, that monk Xuanzang is dead."
Although the entourage reported good things to Chen Guangrui, Chen Guangrui still saw a little panic in the eyes of his entourage.
"Dead? What happened at this hour, let me know in detail! ”
"Yes, sir. That's right, I followed your instructions and found the inn where the monk Xuanzang lived, and then sneaked in, wanting to kill him.
At first, everything was normal, and after entering the monk's room, the monk was lying on the bed.
But when I walked up to the monk, I found that the monk was so quiet that he didn't even make a sound of breathing.
I thought it was strange, so I tested the monk's snort and found that the monk was already dead and not breathing.
At the time, I thought it was strange and wanted to look around. But just as I found a bloodstained wooden hairpin from the monk's hand, there was the sound of footsteps outside.
I knew someone had come in, so I immediately ran out of the window. The man who made the voice immediately chased after him.
Only then did I realize that the person chasing me was a demon slayer, and the Dao aura he exuded alone made my hairs stand on end.
I quickly turned back into my demon form and fled, and it took me half an hour to get rid of that guy. Come back and see you, sir. ”
"Demon slayers?"
"Yes, sir. It's just that it seems that guy's retreat cultivation is average, and he is not my opponent at all. ”
"Don't be too complacent, you won't be followed by demon slayers, will you?!"
"No, my lord. Before I came back, I made several circles around Chang'an City with a concealed aura. After confirming that it is correct, I arrived at the post station. ”
"Very good, then do you see clearly, how did that monk die?!"
"I must have been stabbed to death, and I saw the bulge like the handle of the knife in the futon he was covering.
Also, my lord, this is the wooden hairpin found next to the monk's corpse. You see, there's still blood. ”
The attendant took the jade pendant out of his bosom and watched it carefully in the candlelight. The texture of the wooden hairpin is lubricated, the workmanship is trimmed, and it looks like it is used regularly, and the corners are worn.
And the wooden hairpin is engraved with mandarin ducks, which will definitely not be a monk's thing.
The most important thing is that this jade pendant Chen Guangrui seems to have seen it somewhere.
That's right........ There seemed to be such a wooden hairpin on the head of the jasmine girl in the flower building at that time.
It seems that the death of this monk has something to do with Li Zhiyan's confidante.
"Listen, take this wooden hairpin and go back, and put it back into the hands of the monk's corpse."
"Huh? Why, my lord? ”
"Don't talk nonsense, put it back quickly."
"Yes, sir." The entourage smiled bitterly, re-exited the post station, and flew towards the inn where Xuanzang died.
When I got to the inn, it was still the same as before, and there was no change. The retinue breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that the powerful demon slayer was not coming back.
The entourage hurriedly followed Chen Guangrui's instructions and put the wooden hairpin back.
After putting it back, the entourage didn't look closely, and immediately left the inn. went back and told Chen Guangrui about the situation.
But throughout the night, Chen Guangrui did not sleep, but walked back and forth in the room. Chen Guangrui always felt that there was something strange, but she just couldn't figure it out.
However, before the light, Chen Guangrui finally decided to wake up Mrs. Chen. Then after calling up his entourage and giving a few instructions to his entourage, he asked the entourage to leave the official post station with Mrs. Chen before it was light.
After the second brightness, Li Zhiyan took the officials of Chang'an Lingyamen and knocked on Chen Guangrui's door.
"Master Li? Did something happen? ”
"Someone came to report that the monk Xuanzang of Jinguang Temple died last night in Zheng of Dongfu Inn"
"Huh? Can Master Li catch the murderer? ”
"There are no Sakura yet"
"Then Lord Li came to knock on Chen's door so early, is it because....... Master Li, do you doubt Chen? ”
"No, it's mainly because of the recent rumors in Chang'an City, so I came over to ask Lord Chen. Speaking of those rumors, Lord Chen should have heard them, right? ”
"Yes, but it's all nonsense."
"However, after listening, Lord Chen did lose his child, so he ......."
"Master Li, Chen did lose his son more than ten years ago. But Master Li, Chen's son was lost in Hongzhou, and my son was only a few years old at the time.
But this Jinguang Temple is in Chang'an City, Zheng Chen's child of a few years old, can he go to Chang'an City alone to become a monk after he is lost?
Lord Li, rumors are rumors, how can Lord Li really believe it?! ”
