Chapter 4: The murder case in Meiyuan is cold and the moon breaks the murderer

Luochen recited a Buddha name, got up and left his seat, the emperor looked angry, Leng Yue knew that he was angry that someone disturbed him to listen to the Fa, not a life was killed.

A mighty group of people came to Merlin, and there was a palace maid lying in the place where Leng Yue danced yesterday, and the palace maid's face was shocked, but her eyes were wide open but there was no silhouette of the murderer. There is a hosta on the chest, a green lotus hairpin. Leng Yue subconsciously touched her head, and sure enough, the hosta she wore on her bun when she left the palace was gone, and it was inserted into the chest of the palace maid at the moment.

"Which palace maid is this?" The emperor is close to rage.

A small voice came: "It's the miscellaneous servant of Huiyue Palace, Wan'er." ”

Leng Yue quickly looked for the source of the sound, and when she saw it, she smiled, but also a little disappointed, it was not "her".

The emperor set his eyes on Leng Yue, Leng Yue stepped forward with a calm face, knelt down and said, "It's from the concubine's palace." ”

"Oh? How could she die here? Seeing that it was Leng Yue, the emperor's face eased a lot.

How did Leng Yue know why Wan'er died here, she replied truthfully: "The concubine doesn't know." ”

An Guiren took a few steps forward and knelt down and said: "Back to the emperor, Cai'er, the concubine's maid, once saw Concubine Yue Niangniang taking people into the plum garden. ”

"Tell me clearly." The emperor's eyes were panning, and his anger was completely gone, exuding the domineering spirit of a king.

Cai'er behind An Guiren hurriedly squeezed out of the crowd, knelt down and said: "The day before yesterday, the slave maid saw Concubine Yue Niangniang taking Wan'er into the plum garden, and then walked out alone, as for what happened in the plum garden, the slave maid didn't know. ”

Leng Yue glanced at Cai'er, and the small voice just now was made by her. She smiled coldly and said, "Do you see clearly? Bengong took Wan'er into the plum garden, and then came out alone? So did you see anyone else entering the plum garden before the main palace came out? Besides, why is the palace maid next to you, a nobleman, looking at the whereabouts of this palace? ”

Cai'er was frightened by the cold air emanating from Leng Yue's body, and stammered, "Slave maid...... The slave and maid saw it by chance...... saw Concubine Yue enter with Wan'er...... Entrance to the Plum Garden...... Then Concubine Yue Niangniang came out alone...... No one came out before...... Nobody went in......"

"You're lying!" Leng Yue drank loudly, got up and looked at her condescendingly. "The palace went in with Ah Jiu, and the two little monks guarding the door can testify. During this period, Master Luochen also went in and explained the Dharma to the main palace. After the dust master came out, the main palace only came out when it was dark, and it was two hours long during this period. You are a little maid who does not serve the master, but looks at the palace at the gate of the plum garden, what do you want? ”

Cai'er was speechless when asked, An Guiren suddenly became angry, shook his hand and slapped Cai'er, and scolded: "Slut, don't talk nonsense if you don't see it clearly." ”

Leng Yue smiled faintly and said, "An Guiren, how can the Buddha Gate Pure Land not choose what to say?" ”

An Guiren was frightened by the cold moon's cold eyes, and after reciting the Buddha's name, Master Luochen said: "The poor monk did see the moon concubine Niangniang at sunset, and said the Dharma, and when he left, there were only the moon concubine Niangniang and the red-clothed benefactor in the plum garden. ”

The two little monks guarding the door stepped forward, and one of them said: "Yesterday, the little monk and his junior brother guarded the door, and indeed they only saw the moon concubine Niangniang and the red-clothed benefactor go in, and they came out after sunset. I didn't see anyone else enter until the shift change this morning, and it was Mo Yan and Mo Yu who changed shifts with the little monk. ”

As soon as his voice fell, the other two little monks stepped forward, and Mo Yan said: "It was the little monk and Mo Yu who came to change shifts, and we also inspected the plum garden when we changed shifts, and there was no one in it at all, and no one was seen in afterwards." ”

Luochen's eyes were calm, and he asked calmly, "Have you ever left?" ”

Mo Yan saluted Luochen and said, "The disciple and Mo Yan left for a stick of incense at lunchtime. This is a rule in the temple, and the gatekeeper must return within the time of a stick of incense when eating. After returning, the disciple was lazy and did not enter the plum garden to inspect, and then the junior disciple was not at ease, so he went in to check it out, and found out that ...... The benefactor died in the plum garden. ”

Leng Yue rolled her eyes inwardly, she was a criminal policeman in her previous life, what case had she never seen? Look at the hairpin, three and a half inches long, two inches without a chest, the jade is not sharp enough, and it must be a man who can have such strength. They have to push it on themselves, but they can make the case more precise, such holes are full of holes, and they have taken their lives in vain. No...... At this moment and now, I'm afraid it's not just a human life......

The accompanying guards stepped forward to inspect the corpse, and then took off the hosta and held it with a cloth and presented it to the emperor. The emperor glanced at it, his brows furrowed, the queen naturally refused to miss the opportunity, and pretended to be surprised and said, "Isn't this the palace rewarded the sister of the concubine Yue?" ”

The emperor looked up at Leng Yue, as if asking, Leng Yue replied without humility or arrogance: "That's right, this hosta belongs to the concubine, but the concubine didn't wear it today." ”

"Oh?" The emperor looked at Leng Yue's bun, which was still as plain as before, but today he wore a simple agarwood hairpin.

"Hmm...... Then this hosta is a concubine after all, how could it be inserted in her body? "The emperor believes that Leng Yue is not a murderer, but only he believes that it can't be done, there must be an explanation to convince the public.

Leng Yue replied lightly: "The concubine's jewelry is all taken care of by the concubine herself, and the concubine wanted to go to the main hall early this morning to listen to Master Luochen's explanation of Buddhism, so it was only slightly modified, and the pure land of Buddhism was not suitable for dressing up too ostentatious." ”

The emperor nodded, glanced at the other concubines, they, including the queen, were all full of hairpins, and they were all dressed in "golden splendor", they couldn't help frowning, and those concubines also lowered their heads in shame. In fact, they can't be blamed, who doesn't want to show their most beautiful side to the emperor?

The emperor thought for a moment and said, "Don't talk about this, what does Concubine Ai think about Wan'er's death?" He looked directly at Leng Yue, hoping that she would make a defense.

Leng Yue took a closer look at the scene and said: "Wan'er is neatly dressed, and the footprints on the snow are not messy, it seems that the murderer is someone she knows, and he is of the same level, if it is the master, then the footprints should be one after the other, you see, the footprints in this place are side by side." The murderer came here with her, and then the murderer took the killer by surprise, so Wan'er had that shocked expression on her face. After speaking, Leng Yue carefully checked the footprints again, and then said: "The murderer is about six feet tall, and he ...... It's a man! ”

The emperor smiled slightly, stretched out his hand to hold Leng Yue in his arms, and suddenly thought that this place was a temple, so he withdrew his hand and asked, "How did Concubine Ai know the height of the murderer?" ”
