Chapter Seventy-Two: Di Renjie

In the White Horse Temple, the little novices are very busy, carrying incense materials, entertaining everyone who comes to the temple to put incense on the tablet, and the boxes where the temple stores the sesame oil money are replaced and dismantled.

Qin Mu and his party came to the temple, and along the way, Qin Mu observed the layout of the entire temple everywhere, his eyes fluttering, as if he was looking for something.

"Brother Qin! This way! Why can't you give up today! Xiaoqing shouted.

"I'm thinking about how to incense my ancestors so they can receive it."

It stands to reason that they haven't been born yet, and they are now ancestors, so could it be that they incense themselves?

"Qin Mu, don't you have someone to pay tribute to?" Ruoqin asked.

"Yes and no."

Qin Mu can only be said to be very cold about family affection, because since he was a child, he has been wandering in and out of relatives' houses, and he has suffered a lot of white eyes, and his parents return home once a year, and his feelings have long faded.

After graduating, he was self-sufficient, and his family was busy giving him a blind date, and Qin Mu had to go and see it before.

Who knows, the blind date turned out to be so boring, although he is not talkative, but he can talk to anyone for a few words, but when the other party hears that he has no car or house, and the salary of 3000 is gone.

So much so that he would not go again at all, and on the way to grow up, his parents were not accompanied, and there was no shouting and warmth, and he was completely like a stranger.

"Ruoqin, do you have one?"

Ruoqin nodded, "I want to put incense on the pillar." ”

The three of them came to the table where the little novice was selling incense.

"Give me a handful."

The little novice asked, "A handful?" How many are they? ”

Qin Mu looked at him questioningly, "What, you charge money for incense here?" ”

"Yes, donor."

"Okay, bring me thirty." Qin Mu took out a tael of silver from his arms.

"Thirty taels in total."

"So expensive! Grab the money, you guys! ”

Xiao Shami looked at him with contempt, "If you want to be free, you can do it for free, as long as there is a tablet for worship in this Buddha hall, we will send you ten pillars of incense." ”

"Nope."

"Then there is no way, here is just a stick of incense and a tael, it is the rule set by Her Royal Highness the Queen Mother, if you can't afford it, leave quickly!"

Qin Mu looked at the people behind him and found that none of them came in with incense.

"Can't you take out incense here?"

"That's definitely not going to work, in case you anger the Buddha, can you bear it?"

Qin Mu picked up a stick of incense and took a look, it was no different from what he bought outside, and it was even rougher.

Unexpectedly, Xue Huaiyi even made this money, and the people who came here today made more money selling incense than he made by selling Yelan Rumors for a month!

"Okay, thirty taels, I'll buy it."

Xiao Shami smiled proudly, grabbed a handful casually and handed it to Qin Mu.

Ruoqin and Xiaoqing saw this phenomenon and talked about it in the back, but they didn't say anything when they saw Qin Mu being soft.

"Let's go."

Coming to the Buddha Hall, Qin Mu looked around, the huge Buddha statue was resplendent and brilliant, and a strong sense of oppression came to his face.

It was surprisingly quiet inside, Qin Mu never believed in these, and this was the first time he had entered the temple.

Qin Mu was walking around the Big Buddha, looking around.

"Hey, what are you doing!" A little novice pointed at Qin Mu and shouted.

Qin Mu turned around and pointed at himself, "It's nothing, I'll take a look." ”

"Buddhism is important, don't look around."

"What? I don't even want to see it, I'll see what you can do to me! ”

As soon as Xiao Shami saw that Qin Mu was here to make trouble, he immediately called a few companions and wanted to drag Qin Mu out.

"Ao, senior brother, I know him, he is Qin Mu from the Li Mansion who beat us last time!"

"Don't talk nonsense." One of the little novices looked at the people around him and was afraid that it would not affect him, so he walked to Qin Mu's side with a pleasant face, "Donor, please come here, you want to see the Buddha, there is a bigger one over there than this." ”

Qin Mu didn't pay attention to him, but walked around behind the Buddha statue.

Xiao Shami gave his companions a look, and several people directly grabbed Qin Mu and held him out.

"Hit someone! The monk of the White Horse Temple is beating people! ”

Xiaoqing and Ruoqin put down the incense and followed.

"What are you doing! Let him go! ”

"Brother Qin, are you okay?"

At this time, all the people who put incense on the temple came out to see the excitement.

Qin Mu sat paralyzed on the ground like a woman arguing, her hands kept fluttering, "Oh, it's unreasonable!" This group of monks is bullying people and bullying me, a newcomer! The Buddha is destined for people, and I have a fate with the Buddha! Why don't you cross me! ”

Saying that, Qin Mu Qin Mu took out a few glittering round stones from his arms, "Look! This is my ancestor left after the death, today to come to this White Horse Temple is to offer treasure! ”

"Relic!"

"Oh, young man, where did you come from?"

The little novice was instantly dumbfounded, this relic was even better than the quality of their Buddhist hall.

"Go! Go to the Relic Hall! ”

Qin Mu dragged the relics in his hand, "This is what my ancestors did good deeds in exchange for accumulating virtue!" ”

Everyone worshiped the relics, and for a time the people of the temple gathered in the courtyard.

Qin Mu glanced at the Buddha hall that had just come out.

A few minutes later, only shouting could be heard from somewhere.

"Let's go to the water! Let's go to the water! ”

The little novices were instantly drawn over.

After a while, a puff of smoke rose into the sky.

The little novices fought the fire bucket by bucket of water, but to no avail, there were too many things in the Buddhist hall, and the fire was too strong.

The rich people who had just come out of worship scolded their mothers one by one in disregard of their images, accusing the temple of being unfavorable in fighting fires.

Xue Huaiyi, who was sleeping in the inner courtyard room, immediately arranged for people to ban the entire temple after learning the news.

He thought about it carefully, and it was clear that someone deliberately set the fire, and Qin Mu came today, so he must be killed this time.

"Inspector, those down there..."

Xue Huaiyi slapped him, "You stupid, you!" Stones can burn!

Go outside the temple and quickly transfer them, just find a place to slaughter and sell them. ”

"No!"

"By the way, hurry up and report to the official, just say that someone deliberately set fire!"

As soon as Xue Huaiyi gave the order, the gate of the temple was immediately closed, and everyone was driven into the courtyard.

Xue Huaiyi came to the Chinese people with a compassionate appearance and explained: "Someone set fire to it today, and the poor monk has reported it to the county government. ”

Xue Huaiyi's gaze swept over the crowd and saw Qin Mu waving at him, he glared at him and turned away without hesitation.

As the sun grew brighter and brighter near noon, many people began to complain, and a group of people hid under the trees in the temple to take advantage of the shade.

Qin Mu and the three of them came to a small tree to take a dip.

Xiaoqing was sweating profusely, "It's hot to death, why haven't the people in this yamen come yet!" ”

"Qin Mu, what did you come out of just now?"

"You'll find out later." Qin Mu was full of smug smiles.

A moment later, a team of people arrived at the White Horse Temple.

Chen Xiancheng, the leader, led by a team of people, was wearing a dark scarlet official uniform behind him, and the middle-aged man in a dark scarlet official uniform behind him was very conspicuous, he had a long beard, although he was in a side position, but his aura suppressed Chen Xiancheng.

Someone in the crowd recognized the man and shouted.

"Master Di! That's Master Di! ”

"It's amazing, this Master Di is here, and the case will be solved soon."

"Master Di, where are you on an errand now?"

"Master Di, when are you going back to Luoyang!"

Chen Xiancheng waved his hand and shouted: "Silence! Quiet! The arson case of the White Horse Temple alarmed Her Royal Highness the Queen Mother, and today this case will be tried by Lord Di in person, and everyone will cooperate! ”

"Master Di, please."

Di Renjie smiled, "The arson case is really bad, and Di Mou will definitely live up to your trust." ”

Xiaoqing looked at Di Renjie and asked, "Who is he?" ”

"Di Renjie, didn't you grow up in Chang'an? Didn't your brother tell you about his deeds? ”

Xiaoqing shook her head, "No, he doesn't tell me these things." ”

Ruoqin introduced at this time, "During the Yifeng period, Lord Di served as the Dali Temple, and he judged a large backlog of cases within a year, involving 17,000 people, but none of them were wronged. ”

"That's amazing!" Xiaoqing exclaimed.

"That's it, Detective Di Renjie, but this time I want to see how he solves the case."

Di Renjie was upright all his life, knew people well, and recommended good ministers with both ability and political integrity for the Tang Dynasty, known as the Oriental Sherlock Holmes.

Qin Mu wanted to challenge how godly Di Renjie was.

Di Renjie briefly understood what happened, and Xue Huaiyi added oil and vinegar to the side, almost explicitly focusing on Qin Mu's troubles.

"Qin Mu! Come here! Chen Xiancheng shouted angrily.

Qin Mu slowly walked over and saluted Di Renjie alone, "See Master Di." ”

Di Renjie looked at Qin Mu carefully and asked kindly, "Why are you making trouble at the door of the burning Buddha Hall today?" ”

Di Renjie's first reaction was that Qin Mu was covering for another person.

"The monk of his White Horse Temple looks down on people, I just walked a few steps in the Buddhist hall and was about to blast me out, but I spent thirty taels to buy incense, this is how you White Horse Temple treats customers?" Qin Mu said sneeringly.

"Temple supervisor, it's obvious that he is unreasonable and disturbing order, we are just maintaining order!" The little novice beside Xue Huaiyi explained.

Di Renjie stroked his beard and teased with a smile: "Qin Mu, do you need to buy thirty taels of incense so much?" This is burning incense, which is enough for a month to burn the fire and cook, right? ”

"That's, one or two, and these thirty taels are only thirty."

Di Renjie was shocked, he didn't expect him to leave Luoyang for such a short time, and this Xue Huaiyi became even more rampant.

Xue Huaiyi hurriedly diverted the topic and said, "I once had a conflict with Qin Mu, and I suspect that he came for revenge. ”

"Xue Huaiyi, don't spew blood, I was surrounded by your people at the time, and everyone can testify that I don't have time to set fire to it, and why should I burn your temple? Am I living enough? Funny! ”

Di Renjie was in trouble for a while, Qin Mu's move directly got rid of the suspicion, it stands to reason that it is not so easy for the Buddha Hall to catch fire for a while.

The Buddha hall is fragrant, and the corresponding fire-fighting process is no worse than the professional fire-fighting Wuhou shop.

"If you can't move your hands, it doesn't mean that the people you bring can't move your hands!" Xue Huaiyi reminded.

"Supervisor Xue is really smart, and he knows that I brought someone."

Xiaoqing and Ruoqin walked over.

"Introduction, this is the bookkeeper of my house, this is the head of the Tianxian Building and now it is my person, do you think they will set it on fire?"

Di Renjie smiled softly and looked at Xue Huaiyi again, "Let's go to the burned Buddha hall and have a look." ”
