Luo Zhutou walked into the county office, his steps were hurried, and he immediately summoned his subordinates to arrest the army, which completely closed the case, but happened to meet Liu Zhixian, who was full of red face.

Liu Zhi County, as Yi Du Zhi County, is logically a county magistrate, but Yi is the seat of Yizhou governance, and the local administration of Dayan is basically a three-level system of states, counties and counties, and the level of the state is still very large, about equal to the province, so almost all the adults in the state and county are here.

Some time ago, the thieves in the retreat were really rampant, picking out the treasures in the nobles' mansions, Liu Zhixian secretly guessed, I am afraid that in addition to gold, silver and jade, antiques, calligraphy and paintings and rare medicinal materials, but also stolen some objects that adults do not want to be obtained by outsiders.

He was under a lot of pressure.

Recently, the big case was solved, although Luo Zhutou handled the case effectively, and also had the credit of him, the magistrate, who withstood the pressure and strongly supported him behind the scenes, and the nobles in the city also praised him again and again. Looking at that posture, if the matter of the stolen goods is handled more properly, it will not be difficult to move high.

Liu Zhixian is proud of the spring breeze.

Seeing Luo Zhutou in such a hurry now, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Mingyuan, what's going on?" Why is it in such a hurry? ”

"Back to my lord, the case of the escape thief has not been fully investigated, and my subordinates have to go to Tai'an Temple again."

"Mingyuan, Mingyuan, this official knows that you are upright and eager to solve the case, but now that the thief has been caught, you don't have to work so hard anymore, it's better to go home and rest for two days, and the rest of the scarves are handed over to his subordinates to check slowly." Liu Zhixian persuaded, "You stayed up all night some time ago, and if you don't rest now, even your iron body won't be able to withstand such a toss." ”

"The adults don't know, but the subordinates already have eyebrows, so the case will be completely solved." Luo Zhutou said in a very anxious tone, "My lord is busy, wait for my subordinates to sort out all the facts of the case, and then come back and tell the adults what is interesting." ”

"What's interesting?"

"It's more fun than adults think."

"Then you should be busy!"

"Yes!"

Luo Zhutou immediately commanded his subordinates to divide into two groups, one group went to Tai'an Temple first to find out the situation in a hurry, and took the other into the county government prison.

Sure enough, when he arrived in prison, he proposed the poor scholar who had learned the method of escaping. This scholar has been beaten all over the body, but Luo Zhutou is very particular about inviting him to sit down, pouring him a cup of tea, and reprimanding a few words of the official who tortured him, only then did he inform him of the wonderful things that happened in Tai'an Temple at noon today, and hinted that he already knew about him and Master Guanghong, and advised him to confess and be lenient.

The scholar was shocked and immediately confessed.

A few years ago, the scholar went to Tai'an Temple to ask for fame, and met Master Guanghong, and the two talked to each other, but Master Guanghong said that he had nothing to do with fame in this life, but he was a good seedling of cultivating the method of Qimen.

Since then, the two have been on the line.

The scholar is really a good seedling, and in just two years, his achievements in the art of retreat have surpassed that of Master Guanghong. Then he went around stealing under the guidance of Master Guanghong. Among them, the stolen gold, silver and jewelry will all belong to him, and half of the antique calligraphy and painting will be selected by Master Guanghong first, and as for the rare medicinal materials, they will all belong to Master Guanghong, saying that they are used for alchemy.

In addition, sometimes he would steal some ledgers and the like for Master Guanghong.

Luo Zhutou was secretly frightened when he heard this.

Tai'an Temple, as the temple with the most incense in the city, although its status in the religious circles of Yizhou is not as good as that of the thousand-year-old Taoist temple outside the city, it can occupy a favorable location, and Master Guanghong is also the guest of many nobles in the city.

Luo Zhutou felt that he should solve the case as soon as possible.

So he rushed to Tai'an Temple in a hurry.

The best of his men had been sent here earlier, and they had already investigated the matter, and now the bystanders were still here. It's not that the subordinates won't let them go, but the gossip psychology is troublesome, and they all spontaneously surround here, full of red light, waiting to see the excitement.

As soon as Luo Zhutou came, everyone was gossiping.

The words are inseparable from a beautiful young man.

Some people said that they saw the young man with the cat into the Wuguan Hall, there was no seat, and after he asked politely, he sat next to Master Guanghong, looking casual, like a coincidence.

Some people said that they saw the young man and Master Guanghong walking along the winding corridor to the Ten Thousand Buddhas Treasure Hall, talking in a low voice, all very polite, as if they knew each other, but also as if they didn't know.

Some people said that they heard Master Guanghong ask the young man what he wanted.

Some people say that the young man must be a demon who murdered Master Guanghong with demon fire. Some people also said that Master Guanghong had a ghost in his heart, so he spontaneously burned in front of the Buddha and confessed his sin.

Some people say that the fire has no temperature, others say that it feels hot from afar, some say it is yellow, some say it is red, but the clothes that fall to the ground unscathed cannot be faked.

Everyone described the scene vividly.

Luo Zhutou was shocked when he heard it.

After taking over the position of head catcher for many years, he has seen many cases involving demons and ghosts, but he has rarely dealt with this kind of case involving gods and Buddhas.

I'm afraid his father hasn't seen it a few times.

Still, he remained calm.

First, he led people to search Master Guanghong's residence.

In addition to this demon monk in this Tai'an Temple, there seems to be no other person who has Taoism. But then again, they have a public office, even if Master Guanghong is still there, as long as they are involved in the case, the only way to stop them is through the nobles in the city to exert pressure.

Therefore, no one dared to stand in the way.

Sure enough, with years of experience, the group of trappers quickly found the stolen goods hidden by Master Guanghong.

A bunch of unused medicinal herbs, some antiques, calligraphy and paintings, as for those books, whether it was Buddhist scriptures or anything else, Luo Zhutou didn't look at them, just put them away in a box and brought them back to the yamen.

……

An hour later, Yidu Yamen.

It was already dark.

There was a wooden box in the middle of the public hall, and candles were lit on the side, swaying to show the figures of several people.

Liu Zhixian was short in stature and stood in the middle of the court, in front of the box. Behind him was a master, Luo Zhutou and the two catchers stood respectfully on the side.

Although it is a liuguan system, as the chief official of a county, he and the officials below naturally have a high and low difference, but the chief official also has to see the cooperation of the officials below, coupled with the attention to doing things, so in their daily relationship, Luo Zhutou has always been respectful to Liu Zhixian, and Liu Zhixian is also polite to him, which is their cooperation model.

Luo Zhutou has no details, starting from seeing Mr. Song's courtyard wall damaged at work this morning, to visiting Mr. Song again in the afternoon, the conversation between the two, and then to Tai'an Temple, and even his own relevant speculations were clearly reported to Liu Zhixian.

After listening, Liu Zhixian was silent for a long time.

After a while, the staff member whispered behind him: "My lord, let's deal with the lost things of the nobles first......

"Hmm."

Liu Zhixian came back to his senses at this time, looked at the box for the first time, and then looked at Luo Zhutou: "Have you counted the items in this?" ”

"My lord, my subordinates didn't look at it."

Liu Zhixian turned around and looked at his staff.

The staff nodded at him.

"Mingyuan, you have always been particular about doing things, I am assured, I will ask the adults to recognize these objects." Liu Zhixian said at this time, but after a pause, he still couldn't help it, and asked again, "Did the gentleman from Sweet Water Lane really only say a few words to Master Guanghong, and then let Master Guanghong burn himself to death?" ”

"My lord, there were many pilgrims in Tai'an Temple at that time, and everyone said so."

"Tut-tut......"

Liu Zhixian was shocked in his heart, only to feel like a fairy method.

"The damage to the courtyard wall that you talked about......"

"Although my subordinates haven't heard from Mr. Song what kind of monster it was, I heard the thief in prison say that Master Guanghong has three green-faced yakshas, more than a foot tall, as big as an ox, and he can look at the people on the second floor when he stands on the ground, so he thinks it was this monster who did it."

"Then you said that there was no sign of a fight in the courtyard......"

"Not only is there no trace of a fight, but when my subordinates went to ask in the afternoon, I saw that Mr. Song didn't care about it, I'm afraid that this Yaksha ghost was subdued in an instant."

“……”

When Liu Zhixian heard this, he turned around and glanced at the staff, and then sighed: "Such a master, usually only in the mountains to cultivate, when did I also come to Yidu City to ......"

Luo Zhutou heard what he meant.

The magistrate had the intention of getting acquainted before, and now I am afraid that he has the heart to visit.

"My subordinates heard that Mr. Song had traveled here, so he rested for the time being, and he used to cultivate in the mountains. Even when I go to the city, I live alone, only with the raccoon slave as my companion, I like to be pure, and I go in and out alone every day, I am afraid that I will go to see the red dust. Luo Zhutou reminded vaguely.

"It's a pity ......"

Liu Zhixian shook his head.

Even so, I don't dare to bother, but the Lord Zhizhou in the city has been yearning for this way for a long time, and after the case of Master Guanghong spreads, most of them will come to inquire, and they can talk to him in detail.

As for Master Guanghong......

Obviously, he violated the precepts and did bad things, so he was burned in front of the Buddha's temple by karmic fire.

……

Luo Zhutou repaired the courtyard wall for Song You.

Song You didn't refuse-

He plotted against Luo Zhutou, and he received the money, so he has already cleared it twice, and it is also appropriate to bear the risk of being retaliated by the person behind the thief, which is all in the twenty taels of silver. But he later helped Luo Zhutou completely solve the case, and Luo Zhutou deserved to repair the courtyard wall for himself.

In Song You's heart, this is still the case.

It's just that Luo Zhutou doesn't seem to think so.

He felt that he had not finished Song You's help, and he often sent some things, but they were all very real meat, vegetables and fruits.

Song You sometimes collects it, sometimes it doesn't.

It's still the same sentence -

Sometimes accepting the kindness of others appropriately is actually a manifestation of generosity.

Sometimes accepting it is to make Luo Zhutou feel good. Sometimes it is not accepted, it is to grasp a scale, so as not to cause too much involvement.

In this way, day by day, the days pass quickly.

There is extraordinary fun hidden in the ordinary.

The self-immolation of Master Guanghong in front of the Buddha hall quickly spread, and it became a matter that the common people of Yidu talked about after tea and dinner, and it spread more widely in the Jianghu circle, and the more it spread, the more mysterious it became.

That's probably the way it goes.

In addition to listening to books, Song You was also obsessed with listening to the piano.

Songlu in Beicheng was the residence of Yang Gong. Yang Gong is famous for being good at stroking the qin, often inviting three or five friends to play the piano at home, many nobles in the city will visit, and he strokes the piano every evening, so some vocal music lovers will go to Songlu at this time, order a cup of tea under the tea shed, and get drunk with the sound of the piano.

Songlu is not far away, and Song You often passes by and will stop for a while.

The weather is getting cooler.
