Mingyi looked at Su Wanqiu and smiled faintly: "It's just that I heard that the incense of Jining Temple is effective, so I want to come to the incense to pray for blessings and ask for peace." ”

Regarding Mingyi's words, Su Wanqiu didn't believe half a word, and she didn't pierce it, but smiled softly: "Then is Gongzi Li ready to leave now?" ”

The corners of Mingyi's lips hooked, and he said with a smile: "Even if I want to leave now, there is no way to leave." ”

He obviously had something to say, Su Wanqiu was stunned, raised her eyebrows in confusion, and looked at Mingyi.

At this moment, the guards beside Su Jin rushed in from the outside in a hurry, Su Jin originally ordered him to wait outside Jining Temple, but he ran in anxiously, something must have happened.

"The eldest prince, the prefect has already led people to surround Jining Temple, and everyone is only allowed to enter but not leave."

"What?!" Su Jin couldn't believe it, and asked again, "The prefect sent someone to surround Jining Temple?" ”

There are a lot of pilgrims coming and going in Jining Temple, and there are many people from the powerful families of Linchuan, even if there is really any major case, the prefect may not dare to do this, but today something is abnormal.

"Yes." The guard nodded, "Now the prefect is in the main hall of Jining Temple, and the officials have completely blocked Jining Temple. ”

When Su Wanqiu heard this, she looked at Ming Yi thoughtfully, and only after a while did she ask: "Li Gongzi is so expected......

Mingyi smiled leisurely: "The third lady has won the award, instead of speculating here, why don't we go to the main hall now to see why the prefect is here?" ”

"Let's go, let's take a look." Su Jin also said.

The three of them went to the main hall together, and at this time the hall was already overcrowded, and countless pilgrims were clamoring for the prefect to let them go.

The prefect was standing in the center of the government, wearing an official robe, with a delicate face and clear eyes, but he was frowning at the moment, his eyes swept around the people in front of him, and he looked very distressed.

"My lord, my subordinates have found it, next to the well in the backyard of Jining Temple." The guards beside the prefect said solemnly.

The prefect's face was overjoyed, and he was about to go: "Let's go, then hurry up and have a look." ”

I don't want the pilgrims in the hall to block the way of the prefect.

"Prefect, please let us go!"

"Please let us go!"

"Why did the prefect imprison us in the temple for no reason? There has to be a reason, right? ”

The people in the temple shouted one after another, they just came to offer incense and pray for blessings, but they were inexplicably blocked by the officials, and they didn't even have a reason, so how could they be convinced.

A compassionate abbot folded his hands and sighed: "Please don't be impatient, the prefect naturally has something important to do." ”

"You do your business, we have to go home!"

The so-called law does not blame the public, and there were a lot of pilgrims present, so the prefect was bold, and the prefect glared at him and said: "There is a death in Jining Temple, if I let you go, wouldn't I let the murderer go?" ”

Su Wanqiu and the three of them had already arrived at the main hall at this time, and when she heard this, her heart was slightly cold, and she looked sideways at Ming Yi.

Mingyi also glanced at Su Wanqiu and smiled faintly: "I just got the news yesterday that Zhu Fuzi has a cousin who became a monk more than ten years ago, and now he is one of the abbots of Jining Temple. ”

When Su Jin heard this, his sword eyebrows furrowed, first Zhu Fuzi in the academy and several teachers who worked with Zhu Fuzi died inexplicably, and now there is another murder in Jining Temple, although I don't know who it is, but listening to Mingyi's words, the deceased person should be Zhu Fuzi's cousin who became a monk.

"Will the murderer still be in the temple?" Su Wanqiu asked, if this matter was instructed by Ming Rong, it would not be the turn of the prefect to come and block Jining Temple with his servants, but he was afraid that he would have already fled.

"Not necessarily." Mingyi said lightly.

The prefect took people to the backyard of Jining Temple in a hurry, and when the three of them saw this, they also followed.

The backyard of Jining Temple is very quiet and elegant, only a gravel path leads to here, and the courtyard is rich in grass and greenery, and the trees are verdant.

It's just that the color of blood in this courtyard adds a bit of evil qi out of thin air, which makes people's hearts palpitate.

Looking along the bloodstains on the ground, an abbot dressed in monk's robe could be seen lying on the ground, with a hideous and terrible wound on his smooth head, like a monster that chooses people to eat.

Su Wanqiu turned her head sideways, carefully looked at the layout of the entire backyard, and looked at the blood-colored traces on the ground, thinking back to the murderer's actions at that time.

The man should have killed the abbot first, and then prepared to drag the abbot's body into the well, leaving a trail of blood, but at this time, he was suddenly discovered, so he had to abandon the body of the abbot and leave quickly.

The smell of blood in the air was extremely strong, Su Jin gently shook Su Wanqiu's hand and said, "Let's go outside first." ”

Su Wanqiu's originally frowning brows stretched slightly, and she said softly, "I'm fine, big brother." ”

Ming Yi shook his head slightly, that day he held Su Wanqiu hostage, she was still quiet and calm, not to mention that now she was just looking at a non-threatening corpse.

He stepped forward to check the abbot's body, but after a moment, he replied loudly: "My lord, this person's head was cut by a sharp weapon, and he also had a knife wound in his heart, and the time of death should be today." ”

The prefect was stunned: "Today's time?" ”

Mingyi's eyes condensed slightly: "Yin Shi? ”

"My lord, this person died in Yinshi, and now it's all time, the murderer must have left a long time ago, there is no need to block Jining Temple." The guard whispered, "These pilgrims are clamoring to leave now, and the officials who block the temple can't hurt them, so it's very difficult to do. ”

The prefect's face changed back and forth a few times, and then he nodded and said, "Okay, let them go first." ”

The prefect lifted the blockade of Jining Temple, and the pilgrims left happily, but there were also those who were very curious who stayed to see the murder.

Seeing this, Su Wanqiu couldn't help but say: "Master Li, please find someone to register the identities of these departed people one by one." ”

Originally, she should have said this to the prefect, but the prefect might not listen to her, not to mention that now these pilgrims have begun to leave Jining Temple one after another, and the time to explain the situation to the prefect is only afraid that most of these people have already dispersed.

Mingyi didn't ask much, his eyes were full of emotion, and he turned his head and ordered.

"Master Yuankong, may I ask what is the name of this abbot who has passed away?" The prefect asked the abbot who had been standing by the beginning at the beginning.

"Amitabha." Abbot Yuankong let out a long sigh, full of compassion, and said, "His Dharma name is Yuanji, and he is the junior disciple of the poor monk. ”
