Chapter 75: The Corpse of a Monk and a Woman in Clothes (Part I)
"My lord," when Xu Zun finished asking, Zhao Yu asked in a timid whisper behind Xu Zun, "Do you have eyebrows?" If not, we will be embarrassed today! ”
"What's the hurry?" Xu Zun said, "I haven't finished asking yet!" I just asked someone......"
"Huh?" Zhao Yu's cheeks were sweating, "Do you have to ask the Venerable Master later?" Do you even want to ask the Marquise? ”
"That's right," Xu Zun said, "Now it seems that Miss Houfu's disappearance case is getting more and more wrong, just ask these subordinates how to do it?" ”
"Huh?" Zhao Yu was surprised again, "What's wrong with the disappearance case?" ”
"Before...... Xu Zun said his analysis, "the reason why I insisted on going to the Hou Mansion to investigate, and threw out such a sentence, was nothing more than wanting to test it."
"If we are finally put out of the door, it means that the Hou Mansion may have received news from the kidnappers and is ready to secretly trade with the kidnappers.
"But I didn't expect them to let us in...... That's ......"
"Then it's not a kidnapping?" Zhao Yu was also curious, "Since it's not kidnapping, it's not for money, it's not for money, so what else can it be?" Revenge, feelings?
"Oh......" he guessed Xu Zun's thoughts, "Are you suspicious that Miss Lu was taken away because of emotional reasons?" ”
"Not necessarily," Xu Zun said, "In addition to these two speculations, there are several possibilities, but those are the last things we want to see!" ”
"Huh? What else is possible? Zhao Yu asked.
"Political struggle, and ......," Xu Zun said, "...... perverted killer"
Who knows, as if it was fulfilled, as soon as Xu Zun finished saying this, a person hurriedly ran in outside.
"Two adults, Mr. Wei invited the two of you to the front hall to speak," it was the previous steward who spoke, but seeing that he looked flustered and his body trembled, "The situation is urgent, please hurry up and ......."
Worst!
Xu Zun suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart.
The two immediately followed the steward through the garden to the antechamber of the Hou Mansion.
But seeing the chaos in the front hall, the maids and servants were cleaning up the broken cups, all of them were like wax paper, silent like cicadas, and there was a sad solemnity in the air.
"You guys go take care of Madame!" But seeing that Wei Beihui was instructing the servant, "Call the doctor to come over, don't be stunned!" ”
"Yes......" Several servants immediately bowed their heads and quickly retreated.
"Wei Tianshi," Zhao Yu hurriedly stepped forward to ask, "What's going on?" Why are you so nervous? ”
"Two," Wei Beihui said with a solemn face, "Someone just came to report that a female corpse was found in the Huguo Temple, wearing a robe, and her death was extremely terrifying, and it depends on her age...... Alas......"
"Huh!?"
Xu Zun and Zhao Yu were shocked, they didn't expect the situation to be so sudden.
"When Madame fainted when she heard the news, she blamed me for not letting the reporter avoid it, alas!"
Wei Bei twisted back the floating dust, with a look of frustration and regret.
"Heavenly Master, don't worry," Xu Zun's heart fluctuated, but he still persuaded calmly, "Now I can't be sure that the female corpse must be Miss Lu, hearing is false, seeing is believing!" ”
"I also understand," Wei Beihui said hurriedly, "I have ordered someone to prepare a fast horse, two of you, let's go and have a look together!?" ”
"Well, it's inevitable! But ......" Xu Zun paused and reminded, "Heavenly Master should not be too anxious, if the female corpse is really a young lady, it means that the villain may be coming for the Hou Mansion, so ......"
"Oh......" Wei Beihui shuddered and suddenly realized, "Lord Xu reminded me right!" Since this is the case, then I can't leave the Hou Mansion easily, don't fall for the tricks of the villains again! ”
"Heavenly Master," Xu Zun said with his fists clenched, "the two of us will go to find out the situation first, and once there is news, we will send someone back to report it." ”
"It's okay, it's okay," Wei Bei nodded back and said to his men, "A few of you will go with the two adults, and send back as soon as there is news!" ”
"Yes!"
Immediately, there were four guards who promised to make a promise, and seeing that their eyes were like lightning, and their skills were agile, they must all be masters.
Xu Zun understood that this Wei Beihui was really experienced, and he sent four of his subordinates to follow, obviously he couldn't trust Xu Zun and the others.
After all, they just came to the government with an official document to investigate, who can guarantee that the two of them are genuine?
……
Drive......
Xu Zun hadn't ridden a horse much before, but because of the host's own skills, he was riding very slippery now.
Especially after leaving the city, they hurried and galloped all the way to the west.
"My lord," one of the guards introduced to Xu Zun on his horse, "this Huguo Temple has been abandoned for decades!" In the plum blossom forest in the western suburbs of the city, there used to be bad omen, so the residents of the city rarely went to that place......"
"A bad omen?" Xu Zun asked, "What bad omen?" ”
"Actually, we don't know," said the guard, "I guess it's all rumors, right?" To put it bluntly, it is just a gimmick for the dispute between Buddhism and Taoism! ”
Da Xuan Chongdao, Tangzhou Yang Buddha.
Therefore, when there is a conflict between the two, there will be a lot of belittling and false rumors of philistines.
In those small places in Xinye County, the habits of the past are still maintained, but in the developed city of Shangyuan City, they have gradually been naturalized by the imperial court.
Therefore, there are more and more Taoist temples in Shangyuan City, but there are only a handful of temples.
"Oh my God, how can we catch up with anything?" Zhao Yu on the other side still looked bitter and hateful, "A female corpse in a robe? We have just experienced the Taoist priest lying in the iron coffin from Xinye County, alas, God bless, God bless, but don't be Miss Lu......"
In less than half an hour, Xu Zun and others had already arrived at the plum blossom forest.
However, most of the plum trees have died, and there is no scene of plum blossoms in full bloom, but they are even more desolate and dilapidated.
"Appeal ......"
Soon after they rushed into Merlin, they saw a large group of people appear in front of them!
Among them were officials dressed in official offices, officers and soldiers in armor, as well as catchers, government officials, and other people.
Seeing Xu Zun and the others, a group of soldiers immediately stepped forward to stop them.
However, before the soldiers could speak, someone in the crowd already recognized the guards of the Hou Mansion.
After a report from both sides and their intentions, the soldiers put Xu Zun and the others in.
In front of me, the bricks and tiles are broken, and the walls are ruined, and it is indeed an abandoned temple.
The monastery is so dilapidated that there are hardly any intact buildings except for a few stupas.
When Xu Zun and the others entered, another group of people came from the depths of the temple.
This time, Xu Zun finally saw acquaintances, including Li Yan, the assassin of Tangzhou, Shou Taimin of Shangyuan County, and the third son of the Shen family, Shen Xinglian, the captain of Jingwu......
However, none of these high-ranking officials were in the C position, and in the position where the stars were holding the moon was a middle-aged man wearing an indigo blue robe and a jade and silver crown on his head.
Needless to say, this person must be that Changping Marquis Lu Jinlong!
With just one glance, Xu Zun captured a major discovery, but when he saw that this Hou Ye had just come out of the temple, there was no sadness on his face, but he was still frowning and his expression was solemn.
Oh?
Xu Zun breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, it seems that the female corpse inside is not Miss Lu?
