Shangyuan City, Xiliu Hutong.

Chen Youjia, a servant, has already set up a mourning shed, hung a white flag, and prepared a coffin.

However, the coffin is still empty.

"My lord," Chen You begged Xu Zunyang in the side hall hut, "Can you be accommodating and let us bring Xiaoying's body back!"

"Our family holds funerals according to the number of Xuandao rites, if it exceeds the period of soul induction, it will miss the reincarnation period of my family Xiaoying!"

"Don't worry," Xu Zun said, "Only when the murderer is caught, Mrs. Zun will not regret leaving, and it will be more convenient for her to be reincarnated." ”

"This ......" Chen You had never heard of this kind of statement, and was immediately speechless.

"Let me ask you something," Xu Zun asked, "Your family, have you ever heard of the names Ran Lin and Lian Yushu?" ”

"Hmm......" Chen You thought for a moment and shook his head.

At this moment, in addition to Xu Zun, he was followed by Lu Mingyue, Huo Anu and the extremely helpless Wei Beihui Daoist.

"Lian Yushu is the daughter of the company." Xu Zun added.

"Outside the company?" Chen You nodded slightly, "Isn't it a member of the company in the east of the city?" Heard, heard...... His family is rich, and some people say that he is the richest man in Shangyuan!

"What do you ask him to do, sir? How could I, a small servant, know such a prominent person? ”

"Okay, I still have a few questions I want to ask," Xu Zun said again, "Have you ever liked something like sandalwood?" ”

"Sandalwood? This ......," Chen Youzhi pointed to the mourning hall, "our family believes in Xuandao and often lights incense, not often, but every day." ”

But seeing that there was indeed sandalwood in the mourning hall, it was not the kind of taste that Xu Zun wanted.

"No......" Xu Zun shook his head and said, "In addition to these commonly used ones, will your wife order some special sandalwood?" Or...... Incense or something? ”

"This ...... Hasn't that ever happened? ”

Chen You couldn't be sure, so he called the maid at home to inquire in detail.

The maidservant said that Xiaoying never lit incense.

"Brother Xu," Lu Mingyue asked Xu Zun in a low voice from behind, "What are you asking what this sandalwood incense is for?" ”

"There is a special aroma on the body of the deceased," Xu Zun said, "I want to know about it." ”

"That's good," Lu Mingyue said, "I know something about these, go back, you can let me smell it too!" See if I can smell which scent?

"Also," she added, "there is a sunny day in our academy, and her family runs an aromatherapy shop, and the incense burner I use now was given to me by her, and if I can't smell it, then she will definitely be able to smell it!" ”

"Okay," Xu Zun sighed sincerely, "This is really ...... If you have more friends, it's easy to walk! ”

Next, Xu Zun asked Chen You and Xiaoying's maidservants some regular questions.

After the maidservant left, Xu Zun finally explained the ultimate purpose of his trip and asked Chen You:

"Chen Yu, I heard that you used to be a jailer, right?"

"Lord Hui, yes," Chen You said unabashedly, "It was the Xianyuan period, and he served in the South Prison of Shangyuan City, and after only one year, he was transferred to the granary......

"Oh......" Xu Zun nodded, and asked again, "Then at that time, did you ever see that famous monk of mercy?" ”

"Huh?" Chen You swallowed, nodded and said, "Yes, once a colleague was sick, I even brought him food!" ”

"Really?" Xu Zun asked, "Have you talked to him?" ”

"I didn't ...... No! Chen You hurriedly said, "That evil monk is a serious murderer, I don't dare to talk to him." I remember when I brought him food, he was lying on his desk writing his scriptures! ”

"Then ......," Xu Zun asked again, "At that time, did you hear any secrets about that monk?" Are there any other jailers who are particularly interested in the mercy? ”

"This ......," Chen You replied, "Of course there are secrets and the like, and there are quite a few!" With such a big case, naturally someone will make up some stories.

"But I can't remember what I made up now!

"As for those who are interested in the monk, when I left the South Prison Prison, the monk had only been locked up for a few months, as if it was ...... There is no such person as you say, but ......"

Oh?

Hearing this "but", Xu Zun instantly refreshed.

"I remember when I was in Nanjian," Chen You recalled, "there was one person who went to Nanjian to visit the monk almost every week, except for the abbot of the temple. ”

"What?" Xu Zun and the others were surprised, and asked together, "Who is it?" ”

"Then I don't know!" Chen You replied, "I only know that that person's identity is very noble, and there are many followers every time."

"I asked those colleagues, and they didn't know who that person was, only that every time he went to visit him, he would stay for a long time."

"How strange!" Lu Mingyue whispered behind Xu Zun, "If you can go in and see that prisoner, it must be a big deal, right?" ”

"Yes, yes," Chen You added, "It must be a big deal, and without the relationship between the county guards, it is absolutely impossible to get in!" ”

Oh......

Xu Zun already knew in his heart, if he wanted to know who this mysterious visitor was, he only had to find Taemin and ask.

"Alas......" At this time, Chen You thought of his wife, and suddenly sighed, "I really can't imagine that ten years later, it will be on my head!"

"Your Excellency...... My Xiaoying is wearing a monk's robe, and there are legends outside that the monk's robe killer has been resurrected again!

"Can you tell me if that's true?"

Gee......

It was not the first time Xu Zun had heard this kind of statement today, and it seemed that the rumors about the monk robe killer could not be stopped.

"Don't be excited," Xu Zun had no choice but to persuade, "Don't believe the rumors, don't worry, we will definitely find out the case as soon as possible!"

"By the way," Xu Zun remembered something, and said, "Finally, if you want to trouble Chen Yu, please give me Mrs. Zun's birthday......"

……

On the way back to the county office, Lu Mingyue naturally couldn't idle her little mouth.

"It was horrible," she said, clenching her fists, "and I was a child then!" Even though he was a child, he could still remember this terrible case.

"It seems that some people say that the monk clothes killer is a kind of flying demon who eats girls, and we are so scared that we don't even dare to sleep......

"Lord Xu," Suddenly, Wei Beihui, who had been dumb for a long time, suddenly mixed into the discussion, and asked Xu Zun, "From what you see, is it true that the catchers of the county government really caught the wrong person in the first place?" ”

"I've read the file," Xu Zun said, "Monk Liankong confessed to his crimes, and the details of his confession are not different from the scene. ”

"Then ......" Wei Bei shook his hand back and said meaningfully, "Poor Dao doesn't understand, if he really caught the wrong person back then, why did the murderer come out to commit the crime now?" ”

"So," Xu Zun said, "we need to find out who that mysterious visitor is as soon as possible!" ”

"Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable," Wei Beihui suddenly stopped, recited the Dharma name, and said to Xu Zun, "You are very wrong to speculate so arbitrarily!" Poor Dao can tell you who that mysterious visitor is right now! ”

"Oh?" Xu Zun and others were surprised.

"That person," Wei Bei replied with his hand twisted into the dust, "it is the ...... of the Marquis of Changping"
