Chapter 41: The Orphan Child's Death Is Strange
It was another sultry afternoon, and Yang Ermu was complaining about this ghost weather in his heart, so he walked to the window and stretched out his hand to open the window. At the moment when he pushed it out violently, he obviously felt that the window door had collided with something - however, when he stretched out his head to peek, Yang Ermu didn't see anything!
"What a ghost!" Yang Ermu couldn't help cursing rudely, returned to the table and continued to look at the secret letter he had just received.
The secret letter was sent by his brother in a carrier pigeon, and it said some terrible things that made Yang Ermu's heart tremble......
At the same time, what Yang Ermu never expected was that Shen Gong, who had performed the stealth technique, was standing straight outside the window at this time, and he, with excellent eyesight, had already seen the secret documents spread out on the table by Yang Ermu clearly!
So more objectively, the person who is beating even more in horror at this moment is not the impostor Yang Ermu, but Shen Gong, who accidentally snooped on the most secret things. So, will Shen Gong choose to shout loudly at this time? No, because it would wear out his invisibility.
So, Shen Gong, who has already seized a great opportunity, how will he choose to deal with this matter? Grab the little tail of this imposter Yang Ermu and slowly blackmail him - this is a good way to be top-level and clever!
After repeated observation for a while, Shen Gong felt that Hu Sandao's water was not ordinarily deep, so he didn't dare or did not dare to do it hastily. If you want to get detailed information about Ni Ying from the mouth of this character, the only way to do it is undoubtedly to borrow flowers and offer Buddha!
Because Hu Sandao is particularly greedy for money, this "flower" certainly refers to the kind of white flowers or yellow and clear things. And how can this kind of "flower" be obtained for Shen Gong, who is alone outside?
After being hit hard by the window door just now, Shen Gong's thinking suddenly became clear! Of course, those "flowers" must fall on Yang Ermu, who thinks he can hide from the world and pretend to be smart!
After figuring out these joints, the "transparent man" Shen Gong almost grinned. For a while, he unconsciously thought of another one - between the two of them, a wonderful plan to thread the needle and lead the way and build bridges and ladders!
The question is, will the two old foxes, who have become spirits, be deceived? However, for the sake of today's plan, there is really no way to control so much - another voice sounded in Shen Gong's heart.
That's right, Shen Gong had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and he had a good idea!
……
So, what has happened to Heba Gumu's elder brother, that is, the brother of this imposter Yang Yicheng, and the abbot of Yuanjue Temple in the suburbs of Beijing, "Master Araki", recently? Of course, it is a powerful influencing factor that will affect his life and hinder the execution of his mission!
So, if we think about it in such a direction, it's not hard to get a definite answer. All at once, all the points fell on a dangerous title - the clothier!
So far, no one in the rivers and lakes has been able to accurately estimate the true level of Lingyike's martial arts, and this extremely dangerous figure is the mortal enemy of Heba Yuanmu for many years! His appearance in the suburbs of Beijing was indeed a sign that made Heba Yuanmu panic.
Due to the fact that the rivals who have been avoided for many years have frequently appeared in the suburbs of Yongwei City, such a danger signal almost made Heba Yuanmu panic to the point of collapse! The first person he immediately thought of was, of course, his closest relative, his younger brother Heba Gumu, so he hurriedly flew a pigeon and sent a secret letter to "Yang Yicheng".
As soon as He Ba Gumu received the secret letter, he was also shocked in his heart! However, after all, he was more calm and good at thinking, and after thinking for a while, Yang Ermu replied to his brother with a letter unhurried and calmly.
That night, Master Araki, who was nearly 100 miles away, received a handwritten reply from his younger brother before he went to sleep. There were only a dozen words in the reply - big brother, do you know that the opponent has already come to the neighborhood? Is this news so accurate?
Seeing this reply from his younger brother, Heba Yuanmu, who has always had a violent temperament, almost crooked his nose in anger! He slammed the slap on the wooden table, shaking the tea bowl, the oil lamp, and the letter to the ground.
After trying to calm down for a while, He Bayuan couldn't help but feel a little suspicious, and began to filter the ins and outs of the matter again in his mind - to see if it was because he was too suspicious......
One early morning five or six days ago, a disciple hurriedly came to report: Oh no, there was a murder by the moat last night! He also said that the person who died by the river for no reason was actually very familiar to Araki - he was Xiao Liang'er, who often came to the temple to listen to the chanting.
An hour later, the messenger of the Yongwei County Government also came and made routine inquiries to everyone in the temple. At noon, Yongwei County Ling Ye Zheng led a large group of officials to come to the temple to settle down, and by the way, Xiao Liang'er who was rolled in a straw mat was temporarily stored in the Luohan Hall.
The county commander Ye Zheng also did this out of helplessness, because according to the local Li Zheng report, the deceased Xiao Liang'er was a foreign orphan with no relatives and no support, and no ancestral hall with a surname in the vicinity was willing to accept him. As the abbot of Yuanjue Temple, "Master Araki" immediately arranged for a group of monks to go to the Luohan Hall to chant sutras for the deceased.
Then, he diligently invited Ye Xian Ling and moved to the meditation room to taste tea. After the guests and hosts sat down and exchanged a few words of greetings, the county commander Ye said with a sad face: "Why does this orphan child suffer alone on the riverside at night? It's a very strange matter. ”
Master Araki asked hypocritically, "Lord Prefectural, Xiao Liang'er is an orphan, and there are also people who wander in the countryside at night. The poor monk just felt ...... Who could have done such a cruel thing to a homeless child? ”
His words reminded Ye Zheng, his eyes immediately widened, and his voice trembled slightly: "That's right! Isn't it a ghost or something? ”
Seeing that Ye Zheng fell into the eagle in response, a trace of pride passed through Master Araki's heart, and he hurriedly struck while the iron was hot: "This is not completely impossible. If this is the case, the county lord should not worry, and the poor monk can share the worries of the adult. ”
"Oh? How should the master do it? Ye Zheng looked at this Buddhist man with a somewhat hideous face, and hesitated in his heart.
"Just tonight, the poor monk can recite the "Pushan Reincarnation Sutra" for the victim, and he can know the cause of his death in the dark."
"How miraculous is there?" When Ye Zheng heard this, his eyebrows immediately fluttered, and he gave a thumbs up and praised him again and again.
A bizarre murder mystery is so lightly attributed to ghosts, and it is necessary to use the "boundless power" of the monk and mage to investigate the cause of the victim's death? I really don't know, Ye Zheng, a parent official at the feet of the Son of Heaven, how did he get mixed up in the first place?
