Monk Zhaoli did not leave, returned to the tree and sat cross-legged, waiting for Ding Feixiong.

Being able to listen to the scriptures together, Monk Zhaoli felt that he had a special relationship with this monk who had killed him, and he was a little envious and curious, and wanted to see when the monk woke up.

"Master Abbot, I am here to take care of, quickly send someone to the government to withdraw the complaint!"

"Yes, disciple understood!"

After the abbot Guangji bowed to the tree, he hurried back the way he came, and when he arrived outside the courtyard, the pilgrims there were even more excited than before.

"Master Abbot, what's going on inside?"

"Master Abbot, those two are the monks in the temple?" "Master Abbot."

"Donors, the old man has nothing to say for the time being, please don't make a noise, please stand back!"

The abbot walked away quickly under the support of several monks, and soon found the monk who had been sent to report to the official a few days ago, and asked him to withdraw the complaint quickly.

——

In the county seat of Sanxiang County, a monk in a hurry rushed here and came to the county yamen.

If ordinary people do not have major grievances or very important matters, they cannot beat the drum casually, otherwise they will be tortured first.

The complaint handed over by the Xiangshan Zen Monastery is actually ambiguous, who the so-called murderer was, where he killed it, and the time and time are not clearly written, only a suspicious wandering monk, and the missing pilgrims in the temple are also mentioned.

This kind of complaint is handed over by ordinary people, and the county government may not be able to connect it, but the monks of Xiangshan Zen Monastery will give some face.

According to the provisions of the criminal law system of the Dayong County Government, if it is taken but classified as a suspicious case, it is necessary for the official of the county government express class to go to verify it first, and then resubmit it to the county or directly hand it over to the county order.

The complaint that was sent that afternoon, with the usual office speed of the county yamen, is now approaching the end of the year, the county government has a lot of things, and the process of suspicion has most likely not started, at least the temple has not seen anyone sent by the county government.

The monk arrived at the county government to explain his intention to the officer, and soon the official was brought to the internal government office, and the county official of Sanxiang County was sitting inside.

"Lord Xiancheng, this master of Xiangshan Zen Monastery wants to come and withdraw the complaint."

The county official was slightly surprised when he heard this, and looked up at the door, where a monk was saluting with his hands folded.

"I've seen Lord Xiancheng!"

"This master doesn't need to be polite!"

After saying a word, the county man beckoned to a clerk next to him, who immediately walked over.

"Is there a complaint in Xiangshan Zen Temple?"

"Well, it seems to be, but it's suspicious, and I haven't had time to take a look."

"Find out and I'll see."

"Yes!"

The clerk went out to another room, and after a while, he took out the paper from a pile of documents on the public case on one side, brought it back and handed it to the county officer, who looked at it for a while and found that it might even be involved in the murder, and couldn't help frowning.

There is no doubt that many of the points in the complaint that should be clearly explained are ambiguous, but one thing is clearly written, that is, the sudden disappearance of more than a dozen guests in the monastery.

After the people disappeared, the monk could not find the guests who were familiar with these people, and the luggage in the guest houses of these people was not taken away.

After browsing it, the county man looked at the monk waiting there, and the other party looked slightly uneasy when he touched his eyes.

"This master, confirm that you want to withdraw the lawsuit?"

"Yes, yes, Lord Cheng of Laofu County withdrew the lawsuit for my temple, it is all a misunderstanding, it is a misunderstanding!"

"Oh, did Master Guangji ask the master to come, or did the master himself come? The master is a monk who knows the guest? ”

The monk hurriedly replied.

"The poor monk is a monk who knows the guest of the Zen Academy, and he came to withdraw the lawsuit on the order of the abbot master, and asked the county lord to make it convenient, and we will pray for the adults in front of my Buddha!"

The county man smiled and said with relief.

"No need, since it is a misunderstanding, there is no obstacle to withdrawing, by the way, since the master is a monk who knows the guest, the missing dozen or so foreign pilgrims, but they have been found?"

The monk was stunned for a moment, he couldn't speak for a while, the monks didn't speak, and half of the guest house of the dozen or so people was already occupied by others, but the luggage of those people was stored in the Zen monastery.

But if you say that you haven't come back now, wouldn't it be suspicious?

But the monk's tangled, hesitant and even somewhat panicked expression at the moment was already more suspicious than any answer.

The county man's expression also changed slightly, and even the official next to him noticed that something was wrong.

"This master, but he was coerced?"

The monk was struggling in his heart to say anything, and when he heard this, he woke up from a dream and hurriedly denied it.

"No, no, no, I wasn't coerced, it's just, it's just, it's really just that the abbot ordered me to come and withdraw the lawsuit."

"I see, don't be impatient, there is no record of the file, just withdraw it for you."

The county Cheng annotated the words "withdrawal of the complaint" with a pen on the complaint, and then walked out of the public case and handed it back to the monk in person.

"Master, please put it away!"

In this cold season, the monk was so anxious that cold sweat came out, and he was greatly relieved to take the complaint at this moment.

"Call me Buddha mercy, thank you Lord County! Then the poor monk took his leave! ”

"The master is gracious! Send this master for me! ”

The county replied, and then looked at the official next to him.

"Yes!"

The monk saluted again and went out with the servants.

As soon as the monk and the official left, the county official's face changed, and he immediately looked at the officials on the side.

"Hurry up and inform the head catcher of the fast class, and ask him to bring some good hands to meet me!"

"It's my lord!"

Not to mention the county, the officials have a big problem here, so they ran out quickly after receiving the order.

Because the county was anxious, it didn't take long for the head catcher of Sanxiang County to hurry to the county official office with four arresters.

After they came, the county didn't talk nonsense, and immediately concisely reported the Xiangshan Zen Monastery to the official and withdrew the lawsuit, and the suspicious points were roughly explained, and then issued an order.

"Quickly go to Xiangshan Zen Temple to investigate, see what the situation is, and pay attention to some minds!"

The head catcher listened carefully to the words of the county and nodded frequently.

"Your subordinates must be careful! Brethren, go! ”

After receiving the order, the head catcher hurried out with several subordinates, and as soon as he arrived outside the door, he gave another order.

"Liu Er, go and call the other brothers who are fine, let's go follow the monk who came to withdraw the lawsuit first!"

"Yes!"

The five of them acted separately, and according to the information they heard, the situation could be good or bad, and if it was really bad, the five of them still seemed a little weak.

——

The monk who withdrew the letter was in a very relaxed mood when he went back, and he felt that he had completed the task assigned by the abbot.

But where did the dozen or so missing pilgrims go?

The monk didn't think much about it anymore, and hurried back to Xiangshan Zen Temple, but what he didn't know was that Sanxiang County Yake had a ticket to go back with him.

Along the way, the monk did not show any other abnormalities except for his fast walking speed, and when he arrived at the monastery, it was already afternoon.

Outside the abbot's meditation room, the monk showed him the paper as soon as he returned.

"Abbot, the complaint has been withdrawn! Check it out! ”

After the abbot took the paper and read it, a big stone fell to the ground in his heart.

"That's good, that's good!"

"Uh, abbot, what about the dozen or so missing guests?"

The abbot also frowned when he heard this, to be honest, it was probably related to the wandering monk, but he didn't know what to do in this situation at the moment.

"I can only wait for Master Zhaoli and the monk to wake up before making a decision, I believe that the Bodhisattva will bless them! My Buddha is compassionate! ”

The monk didn't say anything, and also clasped his hands together and whispered, "My Buddha is merciful!" ”

Outside the Xiangshan Zen Temple, the catcher of Sanxiang County has already come here under the leadership of the catcher, but looking at the endless stream of pilgrims outside the temple, there seems to be nothing abnormal.

Several people quickly found a few pilgrims who came out of the temple and asked, but the answers they got were that the temple was very normal, and it was frequently mentioned that there were high monks who participated in Zen, which was very strange.

After a while, a group of catchers gathered on the side of the temple, sharing information from pilgrims.

"It seems like everything is really normal!" "Li Zhutou, let's go in and have a look?"

"Or change your clothes and go in?"

The head catcher frowned and thought for a moment, feeling a little unwilling in his heart.

"If it's really nothing, it's fine, if there's something, you can't let it go, now that the court has promulgated a new law, if such a big case is handled, we will also have a chance to be promoted!"

"The head is right, even if there is no homicide, the motive for the disappearance of the dozen or so people is unknown, and it is very suspicious!"

"That's a good point! A few of you, change your clothes and go in to take a look, be careful not to startle the snake, and also see what the situation is like when the so-called high monks go to meditation. ”

"Yes!"

The headcatcher looked at the rest of the people.

"You guys, follow me around the temple to see the situation first, since it is missing, unless you die in the temple, you will not leave through the door, there has been no rain and snow recently, the snow around remains, if more than a dozen people go out, they will definitely leave footprints!"

"Yes!" "Reasonable!"

The group quickly divided into two groups, a few entered the monastery, and most of the others began to carefully search around the outer walls of the monastery on both sides.

The people who entered the temple were not mentioned for the time being, but those who searched along the courtyard wall soon discovered that when they reached a section of the wall near the back mountain, someone immediately saw a large number of footprints.

"Head, there are a lot of footprints over there!"

"Let's take a look!"

Before the group reached the starting point of chasing and fleeing into the mountain, it was obvious from the footprints that a group of people had turned over and jumped out of the temple.

There are a lot of footprints and they are very messy, and they bring out a long trail of footprints on the snow, and as they chase the footprints up the mountain, many people notice that something is wrong.

Except for the headcatcher, all the catchers began to find it difficult to walk, because the snow began to get deeper and deeper, but the footprints of the previous footprints on the snow were not too deep.

Now that the weather is cold and the snow is not melting, and no new snow is falling, the snow trail will hardly change for a few days.

"These people all have martial arts, and their skills are not weak!"

"Head, something is wrong!" "Let's take a look!"

"Hmm!"

After a long time, the group of arresters finally found the real "crime scene".

As soon as they found this place, the heartbeat of the group of fast catchers, which had been accelerated by climbing the snowy mountain, couldn't help but become faster.

There were still seven or eight corpses left, almost all of them frozen hard, many of them showing signs of being eaten by wild beasts, and there were also traces of corpses being dragged and the footprints of wild beasts on the snow.

But the most obvious traces are the traces of the fight!

The headhunter walked over to one of the corpses, and on the tree on the side of the corpse, the bark was cut out of a track, and a large hole was pierced in the chest of the corpse.

"What a terrible weapon this is?" Head, everybody died horribly."

"All died at the hands of martial arts masters!"

Not to mention other catches, even Li Zhutou's scalp will be numb.
