Chapter 70: The Temple Seeking a Child

Enter the second hall again.

Chen Chaoyan asked two sentences about the middle-aged man's case, and after learning that it was still being investigated, he asked Wen Kui to invite someone to go.

This time Wen Kui came in with a young man of twenty-seven or eighteen years old.

The young man was followed by a timid little boy.

The little boy tried to grab the young man's hand several times, but without exception, the young man shook him off in disgust.

As in the two cases in the morning, the young man knelt down when he walked to the center of the hall and pleaded with Xie Xuan and Chen Chaoyan to call the shots. In the process, the little boy also snuggled up to him and knelt down, but he pushed him out.

Compared with Yuejian's angry eyebrows, Chen Chaoyan noticed that Wen Kui wanted to scold the young man several times, but every time the words came to his lips, he was transformed into a helpless sigh.

After helping the little boy with tears in his eyes up, Wen Kui waved his hand to Xie Xuan and Chen Chaoyan and saluted each other, and was about to tell the case. The young man interrupted him mercilessly, saying that he wanted to tell the story himself.

A little boy is the child of a young man.

Wrong.

Not his children.

It was the child that his wife 'begged' from the temple.

The young man is from Xiyi Town.

There is a Huaxing Mountain outside Xiyi Town, and there is a Huaxing Temple on Huaxing Mountain.

The temple is so large that it occupies almost the entire mountain.

In addition, Huaxing Mountain is located in the center of the five towns of Xiyi Town, Qinglin Town, Da'an Town, Zhengwu Town, and Luodong Town, and the fields around Huaxing Temple belong to Huaxing Temple, so the monks in Huaxing Temple are extremely rich.

But that's not the reason why the incense is booming.

The reason why the incense of Huaxing Temple is strong is that whoever comes here to ask for a son, he will seek nine out of ten.

When the young man said this, he looked at the little boy with a little disgust.

Yuejian couldn't see it, and said indignantly: "Isn't it good to ask for nine out of ten?" ”

"Okay?" The young man laughed miserably and continued.

Directly east of Huaxing Temple, there is a descendant hall. All the women who go to the temple to ask for children must live in it ten days in advance, and then eat fasting and recite the Buddha for nine days, and then after the temple doctors and monks check their bodies and make sure that there is no disease and no disaster, they will go to the room to ask for children alone for one night.

After this night, many women will conceive their children as they wish.

Even if you can't get pregnant, you can get pregnant if you go two more times.

The young man and his wife have been married for several years, but after not being pregnant for a long time, they also got the idea of going to Xinghua Temple to ask for a child. The young man's wife was lucky enough to get pregnant after only one visit.

It would have been a joy.

But after the young man's wife confirmed that she was pregnant, she was like a demon, and she went to Xinghua Temple to stay for one night every other day, saying that she wanted to thank the Buddha for giving her a child.

The young man didn't think much of it at first and actively supported it.

Only once, after the young man's wife returned from the temple, while bathing and changing clothes, the young man happened to come back from the ground and saw some finger-like bruises on his wife's body.

He didn't think much of it at the time.

It's just that after the child was born, his wife still took the child to Xinghua Temple every now and then, and there were more and more finger-like bruises on his body. At first, his wife would explain a few words to him. But as time went on, his wife became impatient, and every time he asked, she would lash out and scold him for being useless.

So far, he still didn't think much about it, just worked harder, hoping to make her mother's life better and better.

Until three months ago, his wife went to Xinghua Temple alone without even taking the child, and when he took the child to work in the field, the people in the same village joked with him that his wife went to Xinghua Temple so diligently, could it be in the name of going to Xinghua Temple, but actually went out to steal men. Later, he looked at the little boy in a joking tone and said that he didn't look like him at all, but like those monks in the temple.

These words seemed to hit the young man's sore spot at once, causing him to scream and beat the man who spoke.

But when I got home, I saw the little boy's very different appearance from him, and then thought of the finger-like bruises on his wife's body every time he came back from Xinghua Temple.

The young man is silent, he wants to catch this adulterer and adulteress!

So, he began to secretly follow his wife.

But after following him a few times, he didn't find anything, but let his wife find him. His wife began to make a big noise, and he was angry for a moment and voiced his suspicions. thought that after saying it, his wife must be scared, but it turned out to be the opposite, his wife not only made a big noise at home, but also cried and scolded him in the village for not having the ability to support them, and wanted to pour dirty water on her, ruin her reputation, so that she could divorce her and marry someone else!

When Li Zheng and the elder heard the news, they also came to the door many times to reprimand.

The young man was young and vigorous, and simply reported to the official.

When Wen Kui heard the report, he sent Yan Shiliang to Xinghua Temple to investigate secretly. After getting the news of nine out of ten, I also felt incredible.

What's incredible?

Worshipping the Buddha and asking for a son has always been to pray for blessings, how can there be a reason to go to the temple to live for ten days and eight days?

But no matter how he investigated openly and secretly, he could never find out the reason. The young man's wife was summoned to the county government for questioning, and instead of saying anything, she was looking for death and life. After coming and going, Wen Kui didn't want to ask too much.

This delay was dragged until Chen Chaoyan came to Beilu County.

He felt that the opportunity could not be missed, so last night he sent the official to find the young man and ask him to come and visit him today.

Tsukimi was confused.

There are a few mausoleums that are not clear.

After hearing this, Chen Chaoyan couldn't help but laugh.

Facing Xie Xuan's inquiring eyes, Chen Chaoyan hurriedly picked up the teacup and suppressed the smile by drinking tea.

She didn't find the case funny, but ...... She didn't expect that the usual hobbies that only existed on TV, novels, or to pass the time when she was bored would one day appear in front of her.

Raising his eyes to look at the little boy who still wanted to be close to the young man despite being disgusted, Chen Chaoyan faintly crossed a trace of pity in his eyes, but the adult's evil did not want him to bear the consequences. But which is right and wrong, she really has to take it seriously, and she doesn't know what to say. Restraining her emotions, she looked at Wen Kui, and arranged them according to the development in TV and novels.

After listening to her arrangement, Wen Kui did not hesitate to say wonderful!

Xie Xuan also looked at her a few more times.

By the time the young man and boy had left, it was already getting dark. After dealing with two more cases, when it was really dark, Chen Chaoyan followed Xie Xuan back to Jinhuatang and ended today's work.

In between waiting for meals.

Xie Xuan leaned lazily on the basis and asked casually, "Miss Chen has ever solved a similar child-seeking case?" ”

"Not really." Chen Chaoyan held the teacup and looked at him, "It's just that I've heard about similar cases." ”

"What's the end?" Xie Xuan asked.

Chen Chaoyan told him truthfully.

After speaking, he said: "Master Wen is soft-hearted, and after the monks in Xinghua Temple are arrested, the prince remembers to remind one or two, don't let those monks also make trouble." ”

"Soft-hearted?" Xie Xuan seemed to smile, "Didn't Miss Chen forget, what is the cause of your tiring day?" ”

It was he who coerced public opinion to force her to take over the investigation. Chen Chaoyan was silent for a moment, and then said: "The people of Beilu County are also the people of Great Wei, regardless of whether Lord Wen is soft-hearted or not, please remind the prince appropriately." ”

After all, this case is not suitable for openness and honesty, and the 'nine out of ten' gives those monks a ...... in the hearts of the people At least the status in the hearts of the people of the five towns is far from being comparable to the government. If you really want to let those monks instigate chaos, it is definitely not something that Wen Kui can suppress.

Xie Xuan glanced at her and said casually, "Miss Chen seems to appreciate Master Wen very much?" ”

Chen Chaoyan suppressed a smile under his eyes, "No, I only appreciate the prince." ”

Xie Xuan sneered.

Chen Chaoyan put down the teacup and got up, "Only people who are good enough are worthy of appreciation." Obviously, when I troubled the prince to remind Lord Wen, in my heart, he was not so good enough. ”

When the words fell, he didn't wait for him to refute, he waved his hand and left.

Xie Xuan looked at her back as she disappeared into the moonlight, and the corners of her mouth hooked almost imperceptibly.

Chen Chaoyan has been busy all day, and he is tired enough. After a simple wash, I threw myself into bed and fell asleep.

The second day was the same.

When I woke up on the morning of the third day, the news of the detection of various cases came like snowflakes.

After solving the last few cases of losing chickens and ducks, the case of the middle-aged man's theater losing three times on the first day and the case of Xinghua Temple seeking a son and nine out of ten spirits have also been solved.

Wen Kui respectfully handed over the two cases to Chen Chaoyan, and when she looked at it, she sighed and said, "Miss Chen is really like a god in solving the case!" ”

Ling You said proudly: "Miss Chen is like a god in judging cases!" ”

Such a 'dispute', Yuejian has heard it in the past two days, and his ears have been calloused. Seeing that the two were about to compete again, he hurriedly urged: "Hurry up and tell me, what's going on!" ”

Chen Chaoyan also said: "Say it." ”

Wen Kui immediately waved his hand and said yes, and talked about the middle-aged man's money loss case.

After Chen Chaoyan gave his hand to the wrapped cloth with three copper coins in his pocket, Wen Kui immediately asked the official to take the middle-aged man to the shop where he bought the cloth. The shopkeeper looked at the wrapping cloth, checked the account books, and determined that the middle-aged man had bought it in their store, and then checked the records of what he had sold later.

After that, five pieces of cloth were sold.

Coincidentally, one of the pieces of cloth was bought back by Mrs. Qin on the morning of the day when the businessman surnamed Qin invited the middle-aged man to watch the play.

It's just that when the officials went to arrest the businessman surnamed Qin, the neighbors said that they would go back to Mrs. Qin's mother's house early in the morning.

The officials did not dare to delay, and immediately came back to clarify Wen Kui. Wen Kui immediately asked them to chase after Madame Qin's maiden house.

Mrs. Qin's maiden home is in a small ravine in Qinglin Town.

When the officials chased after them, they heard the wind from nowhere and took refuge in the mountains. The servants searched the mountains for a day and a night, and only yesterday when it was almost dark they found them in a cave. Later, after bringing them back to the county government with the stolen goods, there was almost no interrogation, and the two confessed the process of committing the crime with the intention of seeing money.

It turned out that the merchant surnamed Qin was not a real businessman, he was just a tooth who matched buyers and sellers to reach a deal and thus draw commissions. When the middle-aged man found him and expressed his desire to do a scalping business, he hardly tried it, and the middle-aged man opened the three-run money he was holding and showed him.

Seeing that the middle-aged man was so unvigilant, the businessman surnamed Qin instantly became greedy. After deliberately taking the middle-aged man to Beilu County for two days and gaining his trust a little, the businessman surnamed Qin instructed his wife to buy an identical wrapped cloth, and then loaded it with rubble of equal weight, and when he led the middle-aged man to the theater to watch the play, he asked his wife to quietly adjust the bag while it was dark and the light was dark and there were many people.

The businessman surnamed Qin thought that he had been by the middle-aged man's side all the time, and he was empty-handed, so he couldn't suspect him, so he hid it. Unexpectedly, Chen Chaoyan would start directly from the wrapping cloth and see through his trick in one fell swoop.

As for the case of Xinghua Temple......
