Chapter 76: The Corpse of a Woman in a Monk's Clothes (Part II)
"It's you!? Xu paralyzed...... Hmmm......"
Shen Xinglian saw Xu Zun coming towards him, and just wanted to insult him, but he remembered the scene in front of Zhaoye Temple that day, and quickly stopped his mouth.
"Jiying, why are you here?" Li Yan was also a little surprised when he saw Xu Zun, and hurriedly stepped forward to ask.
"Xu Zun pays a visit to Lord Thorn Shi, Lord County Shou." Xu Zun hurriedly replied, "I heard that something happened here halfway, so I came as soon as possible." ”
"You came just in time," Li Yan immediately introduced to the Venerable in the indigo robe, "Master Hou, this is Xu Zun, who broke the iron coffin case in Xinye County, and now he has been rewarded by the Holy Lord and promoted to Tangzhou for punishment, and the last official specially sent him to assist in this case!" ”
"Huh?"
Hearing that Xu Zun had already been sentenced by Tangzhou, Shen Xinglian was taken aback. He, the Jingwu lieutenant, is also a seventh-rank official, just at the same level as Xu Zun.
"Xu Zun meets the Marquis of Changping!" Xu Zun bowed respectfully, "I have heard the reputation of the Hou Ye for a long time, and I can see it today, and I am fortunate to have three lives!" ”
"Oh......" Lu Jinlong, Marquis of Changping, nodded slightly, and said abruptly, "I remember celebrating the birthday of my emperor during the Guizong period, and I was fortunate to meet Xu Siqing at that time.
Xu Siqing judged the case like a god, which made Ben Hou deeply admired. Now Xu Gongzi has solved a strange case again, and he is really a tiger father without a dog! ”
"Hou Ye praised." Xu Zun thanked him.
"Xu Tixing, the little girl's matter, I hope I have to worry a lot!" The Marquis of Changping is approachable, has a modest demeanor, and does not have a bit of aristocratic arrogance.
No wonder, in the Changping Marquis Mansion, whether it was Wei Beihui or the person in charge, they all behaved modestly and politely.
"The villain will do his best to live up to the Hou Ye!" Xu Zun clenched his fists again.
At this time, the guards of the Hou Mansion who followed Xu Zun also let down their guard after seeing that Xu Zun was indeed sentenced to Tangzhou.
"Master Hou," Li Yan said to Lu Jinlong, "Today's incident has frightened Lord Hou, you better go back and rest for a while, and leave the rest to the last official!" ”
"Okay," Lu Jinlong arched his hand at the people present, "In this way, it will bother you!" ”
"It should be, it should be...... the officials hurriedly returned the salute.
The more Hou Ye was so polite, the more panicked the officials became.
After speaking, Lu Jinlong said goodbye to the officials and left the Huguo Temple under the escort of his own family.
With the departure of the prince, a large number of people were immediately withdrawn from the temple, and only the officials and soldiers remained.
"Ji Ying!" Only then did Li Yan introduce other officials to Xu Zun, and first gestured to an officer with a rich beard and a slightly obese body, "This is Yuan Xingtai, the left captain of the Shangyuan garrison!" ”
"Hello Captain Yuan!" Xu Zun greeted.
Yuan Xingtai looked a little fierce, but he was more polite to Xu Zun, and immediately returned the salute respectfully.
"This ......"
Li Yan originally wanted to introduce Shen Xinglian to Xu Zun, but soon realized that he and Xu Zun knew each other, so he automatically skipped Shen Xinglian and introduced a middle-aged man dressed in white who looked like a swordsman to Xu Zun.
"This is Ju Ran, the god of Shangyuan City."
"Ju Shen catches, long admiration of the daimyo!" He shouted that he admired the name for a long time, but in fact, he had never heard of this person at all.
"I don't dare to catch a god, it's just a quick catch. But Xu Tixing's name is like thunder, and he has admired it for a long time! ”
Ju Ran politely returned the salute, and he also didn't know what he thought in his heart.
"Lord Li, Lord Tai, Lord Xu," After the introduction, Captain Zuo Yuan Xingtai stepped forward and said to everyone, "Military affairs are in the body, and it is inconvenient for the last general to stay here for a long time, so it is important to look for Miss Lu, so ......"
"Oh...... Captain Yuan is hard! Li Yan understood what Yuan Xingtai meant, and hurriedly said, "The case here will be handed over to Taijun Shou to deal with!" ”
"Farewell!"
"Farewell!"
Yuan Xingtai and Shen Xinglian clasped their fists at everyone, and also left the temple with their own soldiers.
Before leaving, Shen Xinglian glanced at Xu Zun again, his eyes were extremely complicated......
Xu Zun is best at observing words and feelings, and the meeting just now seems to be a harmonious atmosphere, but it is obvious that everyone knows what is going on and has their own ideas.
Moreover, among all the people, Ju Shangyuan County Shou Taemin and that god hunting Ju Ran are the most obvious.
The faces of the two men were unusually ugly, and it was obvious that they were worried and uneasy.
After all, Miss Hou Fu disappeared from Shangyuan City, and now that such a female corpse has emerged, their pressure is undoubtedly the greatest.
"Master Li," Xu Zun asked, pointing to the depths of the temple, "...... that corpse?"
"Oh...... Fortunately, fortunately," Li Yan said happily, "This corpse is not Miss Lu, I really sweated just now!" ”
"My lord," Taemin said, "since the deceased is not Miss Lu, then leave it to Ju Ran and them!" For now, it's important for us to look for Miss Lu! ”
"Hmm......" Li Yan nodded and said to Xu Zun, "Ji Ying, this case is really too tricky, so I sent you over as soon as you took office, and now this case will be handed over to you to handle!" ”
"Oh......" Xu Zun sighed, but seemed to be thinking about something else.
"Ju Ranna," Taimin said on the side, "you have to cooperate well with Captain Xu, oh no...... Look at my mouth, it's a good cooperation with Xu Ti's punishment!
"I have seen with my own eyes Xu Tixing's ability to handle cases, so no matter what requirements and assignments Xu Tixing has, you must fully support and cooperate unconditionally, understand?"
"Yes!" Ju Ran promised.
"Then ......" Li Yan pointed outside and said, "Ji Ying, now we will go back to the mansion, I will do your official documents, and then let them report the situation of Miss Lu's disappearance to you!" ”
As he spoke, Li Yan was about to go out.
"Wait a minute," Xu Zun waved his hand and said, "Master Li, I haven't seen the corpse inside yet!" ”
"Huh?" Tai Min hurriedly took over the conversation, "Xu Tixing, although the body inside is a woman, it is not Miss Lu, it is just an ordinary homicide case." ”
"Yes," Li Yan echoed, "We don't need to be distracted, this kind of case can be handed over to them for local arrest!" ”
"Master Li," Xu Zun smiled faintly and asked rhetorically, "How can you be so sure that the female corpse inside has nothing to do with the disappearance of the young lady?" ”
"This ......"
Upon hearing this, Taemin's face became even more ugly.
"My lord," Xu Zun said again, "You won't forget it so quickly, we didn't think that You Dalang's murder had anything to do with the iron coffin case at first, right?" ”
"This ......" Li Yan pondered, nodded and said, "Okay, Ji Ying is right, it's not normal for this kind of case to occur at this time, then let's take a look!"
"But......" Li Yan looked embarrassed, "The official is old, I can't see this kind of tragic scene, let's let Ju Zhutou take you to see it!" ”
Oh?
Seeing Li Yan so embarrassed, Xu Zun was already mentally prepared.
"Well...... this"
Taemin and Ju Ran exchanged colors, and Ju Ran stretched out his hand and signaled, "Xu Tixing, please come with me!" I'll show you the live ......"
So, under the leadership of Ju Ran, Xu Zun and Zhao Yu walked into the backyard of Huguo Temple.
In fact, they are all ruins, where is there any backyard? It's just that I walked around the broken stupa and came to a ruined place.
At this moment, there are catchers on both sides of the ruins, and a circle of canvas has been set up to cover them.
Seeing Ju Ran's arrival, he hurriedly lifted the canvas.
Melting snow drips down the broken walls, making the ruins extremely wet.
Xu Zun followed Ju Ran into the scene, but saw a person sitting cross-legged on a stone platform!
Even though the man's back was rushing out, only one back could be seen.
But Xu Zun only glanced at it, and still felt that his hairs stood on end, and the atmosphere was extremely weird......
