Chapter Three: The Case of the Three Holy Niangniang (1)
When the young man saw Dong Daxing being so arrogant, he felt irritable. But calm down immediately, don't mess with yourself, now the panicked should be the real murderer, it's better to give him another one to win by fraud!
The young man had an idea and sneered: "Hmph! What a domineering Dong Daxing, do you think what you do is seamless? Miss by a mile. You should have thrown the corpse to leave, but you drew a snake to add to it, not only did you not leave after throwing the corpse, but deliberately faked the hanging scene with the belt of the deceased, just ask, even if the person is not dead, which person with four broken fingers still has the ability to hang himself? "
Dong Daxing's words completely angered Dong Daxing, he hit the top beam with fire, and his face was red: "Hugh is talking nonsense, I just knocked him out that day and threw him into the suburbs, and there was no other behavior............"
When he was halfway through his words, he suddenly felt that he had been provoked by the other party, and he was speechless on the spot.
All the people in the lobby were shocked when they heard it!
It turned out that a man from Chang'an sold his righteous daughter to Chunyi Garden to become a female artist, and was fell in love with Zhang Xiucai. But Yizhihua asked Zhang Xiucai to cut off his little finger to show his true feelings.
When the two were in love, Dong Daxing, the richest man in the county, passed by. Dong Daxing also fell in love with this female artist, so he went up to tease and entangle. Seeing this, Zhang Xiucai beat Dong Gongzi angrily, and the two have been married ever since.
A few days later, Zhang Xiucai came to Huang Ji Pharmacy and asked the shopkeeper Huang to cut off a little finger for him to express his loyalty to the female artist. At this time, he happened to be seen by Dong Daxing, who had been following him all the way, out of revenge. He grabbed the medicine pestle and slammed Zhang Xiucai's head from behind. I didn't want to, I stunned Zhang Xiucai all of a sudden. And the shopkeeper Huang was in a panic and cut off the four fingers of Zhang Xiucai's left hand with a knife.
Under the coercion and temptation of Dong Daxing, and in order to cover up his crime, he threw his body in the wilderness overnight, and gave Huang Shopkeeper ten ingots of horseshoe gold as a hush money.
In the throwing of the body, Zhang Xiucai's body was scratched by thorns in many places, and the ring he was wearing fell to the ground and was picked up by a playing monkey.
In front of the evidence, Dong Daxing confessed to his murder, and the people watching the excitement at the door were in an uproar for a while.
When Dong Daxing and Huang shopkeeper arrived, they were escorted away by several officials with an embarrassed face, and the county commander saw that the little hero in the hall was really wise, and hurriedly greeted him, "The lower official dares to ask, who is this young man's surname?" β
"Don't dare, don't dare, Xiao Ke is the dog who trusts and stabs the history of the state---- Di Renjie."
This case has become a good story in the four counties and 16 counties of the whole state.
In the coming year, Di Renjie was promoted in the examination, laying a solid foundation for Di Renjie's career in the future.
Years laterγγγγγγγγγγγ
There were some pedestrians on the official road, and in the distance came a gray-white donkey, a young man sitting on the back of a donkey, no more than his early twenties, dressed as a scholar, with a delicate face, although he was riding a donkey, his walking speed was not slower than that of a horse. In front of the donkey, a small boy was leading the way with the reins, and it seemed to be the scholar's boy on the donkey's back, the child was no more than fifteen or sixteen years old, less than six feet tall, smart and clever, and his appearance was a little immature.
It was Di Renjie who was sitting on the back of a donkey thinking about his thoughts, he was so worried that he left home to wander the world like this, and he couldn't run around like a headless fly. Fortunately, the news that the Hedong Festival was in Bian
The state recruited the inner government to raise the criminal officer, and the master and servant planned to go to Bianzhou to apply for this errand.
The two of them were walking in a dashing manner, and suddenly a villager in front of them crawled over, and shouted vaguely: "Dead, Niangniang sent a demon out, and the demon came out to eat people again." β
The man shouted, and fell to the ground, and Di Renjie on the back of the donkey was broken by the hysterical shouting, what mother? Are there still youkai? I wonder what the hell it might be.
"Shuqi, go over there and see what's going on." Di Renjie pointed to the place where the villagers were on the back of a donkey.
The scholar named Shuqi frowned and said, "Young Master, let's leave this kind of thing alone, let's leave quickly." β
Di Renjie looked at it at a glance, as if he was giving an order, Shuqi didn't dare to say more, and hurried over.
The villagers looked at the young man opposite, with a pair of shining eyes, which revealed a heroic spirit, sighed and pointed ahead: "It's right there." β
Di Renjie stood up and beckoned Shuqi to go over.
A few hundred meters further, there was indeed a person lying on the official road, his face was blue, and there was a strange smile on the corner of his mouth.
This is strange, what is so funny about people when they are dying, is it very comfortable and cool to die? Di Renjie became interested in this matter, and there must be something strange in it.
Looking at this person's clothes well, it seems that he should be from a wealthy family and in his forties.
Behind him, Shuqi tugged at Di Renjie's clothes: "Young master, let's go, this person's death is too weird, it's better to have more than one thing!" β
Di Renjie's face was gloomy, his eyes looked at Shu Qi and sighed: "The people of the world are in charge of the affairs of the world, not to mention that you and I also have to vote for the government and serve the country." But.... β
"Young master, but what?"
Di Renjie was silent, but sighed inwardly: "I don't have much experience in hating myself for an autopsy, I can only see that this person's death is not simple, and the others have no clue." β
So Di Renjie turned around and said: "I said Shuqi, you are so bold, how can you walk with me in troubled times, and don't follow me if you chirp crookedly." β
Shu Qi was stunned for a moment, nodded and said, "I know, young master." β
Di Renjie nodded with satisfaction, and at this time, there were already many people around who were watching the excitement, and they began to discuss this matter. Di Renjie rubbed in front of him, only to hear one person say: "You said that this Master Li died so strangely, could it be that the Three Holy Niangniang was angry." β
Another person chimed in: "Eighty percent yes, if you want me to say hurry up and go home and burn pillar incense, so as not to cause death!" β
After finishing speaking, the surrounding villagers scattered away, and a few bold ones just looked into the distance. Di Renjie didn't chase them far away, just thinking about it in the same place, what kind of holy lady is this three saints?
In front of it is Xiushui County, which is also the county government in charge of the murder case, Di Renjie rushed to the county seat with Shuqi and found a more decent inn.
Shu Qi became more and more unable to understand his master, and said that he wanted to investigate the murder, but now he was sitting there eating unhurriedly.
"That, young master, should we go to the local county office and ask."
Di Renjie shook his head, looking unfathomable.
"Young master, we can't investigate this case yet."
Di Renjie turned his head and said, "Of course I have to check." β
"Young Master, since we want to investigate the case, why are you sitting here?"
Di Renjie looked at him with the eyes of a fool and said, "Shuqi, do you say that people have to eat, if we all starve to death, how can we investigate the case." β
When Shuqi heard it, he instantly felt that he was really stupid, but he felt that something was wrong. Was he tricked by the young master just now?
After a while, the guy came over to greet the two, and after ordering three dishes and one soup, Di Renjie paid attention to the movements around him.
Sure enough, the matter of the homicide case has spread, and the people in the restaurant get together in twos and threes, and the topics they talk about are all away from the homicide case.
The guy came over to serve the food, Di Renjie took his arm and said, "Little second brother, I want to ask you something." β
The man turned his head and saw that a young man was dressed in brocade clothes, looking heroic and spirited, and he didn't look like an idle person, so he smiled and said, "What is the matter, son, tell me." β
"In this morning's homicide, who is the person who died outside Li Yuanwai? Who is the Three Holy Niang? β
When the guy heard this, his face changed, and he lowered his voice and said: "Guest officer, you don't know something, it's a mountain outside our Xiushui County, called the Three Holy Mountains, and it is said that the Three Sages of the West practiced in this mountain back then. There is a naturally formed hole in the mountain, and the three saints are enshrined in it.
I heard that this Three Holy Niangniang is a female disciple taught by the Three Holy Places in the West, and she is very spiritual and evil, and we villagers usually do not dare to blaspheme easily, and the incense is prepared on the first and fifteenth days of the new year. However, some time ago, it was rumored that Master Li and the other two squires were going to demolish the Three Holy Niangniang Temple on the Three Holy Mountains, and then rebuild a bigger and better temple.
Originally, we all felt that this thing was unreliable, the Three Saints Niangniang Temple has existed in our Xiushui County for nearly a hundred years, and they will burn themselves by doing so. It's not like this happened today, everyone said that it was the Three Holy Niangniang who was angry. β
