Chapter 83 Chongfo Temple
Wei Ru and Ji Heng received an order from the empress, only saying that Jin Xuansi would also secretly help investigate the case thoroughly.
In the end, traces of liquor and oil were found near Yangliu Pavilion and the residence of the Nata watchman, and if there was such an accelerant, the fire must be unstoppable. However, in addition to knife wounds, those corpses also had stick wounds. The usual killer doesn't use sticks often, perhaps this person likes to use sticks a lot.
I went with Sun Er to the vicinity of the broken arm of Yangliu Pavilion, and took a closer look, in the end, the hard work paid off, and found a string of jade Buddha beads on the blackened traces of a window, and the jade beads on it were engraved with the words of Chongfo Temple. Yangliu Pavilion is an ordinary Golan Tile House, how can a monk easily break the ring to go to this kind of fireworks place. Sun Er and I glanced at each other and brought the jade Buddha bead back to Jinxuansi. Thinking about the stick wounds on those corpses, I naturally think of the Chongfo Temple on the outskirts of the city.
However, this Chongfo Temple has always been a place to worship Buddha, not as martial as Shaolin Temple, there are many monks, and there are many believers, I am afraid that it is not easy to find clues from it. And there are many pilgrims in this Chongfo Temple, and the pilgrims who usually enter the incense have come from all over the world, and there are also many monks who bring their hair to practice.
I went to Li Chongrui's military camp, he always stayed in the military camp on the outskirts of the city, because the Chongfo Temple was also on the outskirts of the city, I went over, and the people in the army naturally knew that I and Li Chongrui already had a marriage contract, but they had not yet married, and they could not be called a princess, and they were just shouting a sister-in-law.
There was a burst of embarrassment on my face, and Sun Er coaxed: "Our Lord Siqing hasn't passed the door yet, you rough men in the military camp don't have a sister-in-law, and you actually take advantage of our Lord Siqing." After saying that, he laughed.
Li Chongrui was dressed in armor, not his usual luxurious robe, and he only smiled and watched me walk towards him.
In the tent, he only asked me softly: "You usually don't like to come to my barracks, why did you come today, or do you have nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace." ”
I only looked into his eyes: "Then you accompany me to disguise yourself and go to Chongfo Temple, you stay in the barracks these days, naturally you don't know what happened in Chang'an City, Yangliu Pavilion thirteen lives, plus a few lives of the watchman, a few lives at the feet of the Son of Heaven, and now the empress is angry, but she has found some incriminating evidence, it's a long story, I'll talk to you carefully on the road." ”
He brought a set of regular clothes, without much fancy ornamentation, and I am in my usual attire today, looking like a bunch of ordinary couples. We rode our horses in the direction of Chongfo Temple.
I told him about Yuanqing and everything else. He only frowned: "Then Liu Changyuan dares to send someone to stare at you?" Why didn't you tell me early, that Liu Guogong relied on the fame accumulated by his ancestors to install many people in the family into the court, although I didn't pay attention, but this famous family in Chang'an City, the Liu family also bore the brunt, not to mention that there was a third princess. Is Liu so eager? ”
I replied: "Liu Changyuan also went to Yangliu Pavilion to check on Pol before, and I think he followed him from my house. I didn't expect that I, Jinxuansi, was looking for information for His Majesty everywhere, but I was targeted. ”
He only said in a deep voice: "If Liu Changyuan still wants to send someone to keep an eye on you, then he, General Jin Wuwei, can be regarded as the end." Although I don't often stir up trouble in the court, I still have some hands in the end, and I will always have some control over Liu Changyuan's affairs. ”
I shook my head: "Liu Changyuan still has to sit in the position of General Jin Wuwei now, this case can't be done without him." Don't worry about me, now that I am the favorite of the empress, I will become the princess of His Royal Highness King Yin in the future, who will easily touch me? Rest assured, I have a claim in my heart. ”
Sun Er specially packed a lot of sandalwood for me to act like Chongrui, I got off the horse, carrying a basket, and Li Chongrui led me up the high steps, and the pilgrims who came and went to worship the Buddha.
The host clasped his hands together: "The donor is a face." ”
I also folded my hands and said: "My husband and I have only recently moved to Chang'an, I heard that the Chongfo Temple on the outskirts of the city has a good reputation, and I only came here today, I only hope that the Buddha can favor me, so that my husband and I can live in peace." ”
Li Chongrui also said: "My wife and I have a very simple wish, and we just hope that we will live in peace and harmony." ”
Only then did the host fold his hands together and said: "Donor, please, this Chongfo Temple is very large, and you can also visit it by yourself." ”
Li Chongrui and I are in the hall today, the lights in the hall are brilliant, the Buddha and the Bodhisattva are all made of gold, although it is golden and bright, but in the end it is still solemn. The little monk led me to the incense spotting, lit the sandalwood in the basket, and inserted it into the incense jar. He knelt on the futon with Li Chongrui, clasped his hands together, and silently recited his wish in his heart.
Although I came to Chongfo Temple to investigate, but in the end I still hope that the gods and Buddhas in the sky can be blessed, Li Chongrui and I have not been easy to go all the way, just looking forward to a lifetime and a couple, he has been healthy and happy.
He opened his eyes and helped me up, and only said, "Guess what I wished." ”
I chuckled softly: "How do I know." ”
Only then did he say again: "I only wish to be a couple with Shangguan Wan, and Shangguan Wan can be safe and sound for the rest of my life." ”
I was disgusted and said, "If you say your wish, it won't work." You'll have to do it again in the future. ”
Chongfo Temple is located on the mountain, the Buddha hall is particularly exquisite, and there are several additional halls, there are many pilgrims, I and Li Chongrui walked around for a long time, only to see some people who wear hair and practice, and there are jade Buddha beads in their hands.
Seeing this, I only stepped forward and asked, "Will this layman, who practices in Chongfo Temple, have this string of jade Buddha beads?" ”
The man nodded: "Chongfo Temple has always had a lot of pilgrims, and there is a lot of sesame oil money, and these Buddha beads are crystal clear, but not all laymen will have them, they all donate enough sesame oil money or stay for a certain number of years, and then they will have jade Buddha beads." ”
I replied, "Thank you." ”
Li Chongrui and I got acquainted with each other, and only walked to a secluded place behind the hall: "The remnants of Yangliu Pavilion have picked up the same string of jade Buddha beads, as well as the name of Chongfo Temple. That's why I came to Chongfo Temple to find it. If this is the case, then the killer may be the layman who practices on behalf of this Buddha temple. ”
Li Chongrui and I were about to leave and go to the place where the sesame oil money was donated, but I only asked the little master: "I see that many lay people have jade Buddha bead bracelets in their hands, I don't know the little master, there are them here?" ”
The little master only replied: "Generally, if you donate more than 200 taels of sesame oil money, or if you wear your hair and practice for two years, you can get a string of jade Buddha beads." ”
I put fifty taels of silver, put on Li Wan's pseudonym, and left with Li Chongrui.
