Shuanghu County is located near the main road of Gyeonggi. Although the population of hundreds of thousands is not too large, the degree of wealth is beyond doubt. After three, the prince would have to consider if she wanted to abolish her.
"Princess! You go home to give away your spirits, Changdiji will go with me..."
Zhao Guanren yelled while riding on the horse. Changdiji immediately jumped out of the carriage and jumped on a white horse to run alongside him. At this time, they had entered the town of Shuanghu County. The same goes for villages and towns.
"Big head! Lead the way to the east of the city..."
Zhao Guanren led only fifty dragoons, and the rest were stationed outside the city. Although the sun had not yet set at this time, but few people were seen on the main road, the common people were afraid of getting into trouble and hiding at home. Watch them gallop.
"I have circled a few suspicious locations, Minister Qiu and they should still be searching..."
Lv Datou is familiar with the road, and the city is not too big for hundreds of thousands of people. It is only a district of a small city. You can see the gate at the other end after running for more than ten minutes, but Qiu Ning was very careful, and specially arranged for dragoons to meet on the side of the road.
"Your Highness! Minister Qiu and the others are in the west, please come with me..."
Two cavalrymen led them to the west, and soon came outside a temple. A large number of officers and soldiers were conducting a carpet search. From a distance, they could see Qiu Ning standing outside the temple gate and Yuan Laosan leaning close to her. Keeping talking and laughing, Qiu Ning frowned impatiently.
"Master! You are here..."
Qiu Ning suddenly jumped off the steps with a smile, rushed to the side of the road and held Zhao Guanren's horse, Zhao Guanren jumped down and laughed: "Autumn beauty seems to be very popular!"
"It's disgusting to me, Yuan Laosan follows me like a fly..."
Qiu Ning said disdainfully: "At first, he paid a lot of money and tempted him. Seeing that I was unmoved, he started to threaten him. He said that he would exchange me with ten beautiful concubines for one night. The sixth prince and Er Nan were both doing business. Doing nothing, as if it has nothing to do with his family!"
"Isn't this a good thing, how happy it is to do things with idiots..."
Zhao Guanren smiled and walked towards Yuan Lao San, and said: "Lao San! Don't copy your hands and smirk. It will delay your dad's important affairs. Be careful that he takes your skin off, but you have to be a hostess after the event is over. , Your father will definitely reward you for such a big credit!"
"Ah? What credit..."
Laosan Yuan looked at him with a bewildered face, Zhao Guanren quickly looked around, and said in surprise, "You are not a decoration, you don't know such an important thing. Let the principal come here." See me!"
"Wang Ye Zhao! What can I say to the next official..."
A middle-aged civil official walked over to salute, but Yuan Laosan kicked him away and said angrily: "Is there a place for you to speak? Come and interrupt everything, this place is Sanye and I am in charge. Don't let me see you again, or military law will deal with it!"
"Yo~ Little Sanye is so majestic, I really have grown..."
Ye Jier walked over with a smile, and the dismissive attitude made Yuan Lao San even more irritated. He quickly pulled Zhao Guanren aside and said anxiously: "Brother Zhao Xian! I came out in a hurry and didn't tell my father. Come on, you can tell me again!"
"Don't mess it up, it's not a trivial matter..."
Zhao Guanren pretended to hesitate for a moment, and then whispered in the ear for a while, only to see Yuan Lao San nodded in shock, and said in a low voice: "Don't worry, I never dare to be sloppy in serious matters. After the incident is over, I will return to Beijing and I will do an affair, my good brother-in-law!"
"Brother Uncle! Be sure to keep a low profile, and call him Ma Ye in front of outsiders..."
Zhao Guanren patted him on the shoulder and walked towards
Walking in the temple, Yuan Laosan immediately called the guards and ran away. Zhao Guanren chuckled at Qiu Ning and said, "Look, how happy it is to have fun with a fool, it's a pity that there is a big fool here, otherwise I can Just overturn the clouds and rain!"
"Hehe~ Ning'er has been taught again..."
Qiu Ning smiled and followed him into the temple. Who knew this was actually a nun's nunnery. More than 20 nuns gathered in the temple, closed their eyes and concentrated on meditating and chanting. The officers and soldiers were scraping the ground three feet. After searching, even the bluestone slabs were pried open.
"Poor in front of the temple, rich in the back of the temple, widows emerge from the left and right of the temple, let's go and take a look at the back..."
Zhao Guanren turned around, but found nothing unusual, but just wanted to enter the Buddhist hall to have a look, he suddenly asked: "Qiu Ning! Where did Ji Xiaoshou go?"
"Pluto Ma!"
Ji Xiaoshou suddenly walked in from the door and said angrily: "How come the poor monk is gay, which one of your eyes sees that I like men?"
"Oh, it turns out that the monk likes women, it's Amitabha, kindness, kindness..."
Zhao Guanren stood up with a single palm with an exaggerated face, the angry Ji Xiaoshou blushed, and waved his hand: "Nothing! The poor monk told you that he is asking for hardship, but the poor monk disagrees with Minister Qiu’s point of view. This is a place where Buddhism is pure, so how can it hide death and harm others!"
"The master just came to know something, this is not a clean place..."
Ye Jier came with the Sixth Prince. The Sixth Prince said: "Many people reported that there was a glamorous nun who secretly traded skin and flesh under the guise of consecration. It is said that the prince's nephew Zhang Shugui, friends with the surname Zhou have also appeared here many times!"
"Can there be evidence? Your Highness can't listen to the wind but the rain..."
Ki Xiaoshou opened his hand a little angrily, and the Sixth Prince said: "If this kind of thing is not caught, it will naturally resist the denial, but since there are many people reporting to the official, it means that it is not a rumors and slander, and the two deceased All of the book boys said that after they enter the temple, they will go straight to the back hall!"
"Let me see!"
Zhao Guanren strode to the front of the Buddhist hall and looked at more than 20 female nuns with peach blossom eyes. Although some female nuns are no longer virgins, it is not surprising. There are many nuns who have become monks halfway through, and at most they are just one. Three-time experience.
"Which is the hostess, please come out and tell..."
Zhao Guanren stood politely outside the door, arching her hands, and an old nun stood up from the futon and walked out to salute in sorrow.
"Master! Are all the nuns here? Are there any laymen..."
Zhao Guanren stared at her carefully, while the old nun shook her head and said: "As the so-called widow’s door is a lot of right and wrong, our nunnery is the same in the city. In order to avoid gossip, we never leave outsiders to stay overnight here. Let's pray to the Buddha together, no one will do that dirty thing!"
"You can see! All the teachers and wives are true Buddhist disciples, don't worry about gossip..."
Zhao Guanren bowed respectfully and asked: "Are there any nuns who have fled privately recently? Benhoutang, can you have this?"
"It's true! But it's not going straight to the back hall, but the vegetable garden..."
The old nun said: "There is a niece in Zhang’s mansion. Because her father is seriously ill, she is here to practice spiritual practice. I think she is beautiful and clean, but it is not easy to refuse Mrs. Zhang, so she is allowed to stay in the vegetable garden. Living alone, the two little boys often come to visit her, the rumors may be because of her!"
"Where is this woman? What's her name..."
Zhao Guanren hurriedly stepped forward, and the old nun replied: "Zhou Xiaolin! She finished her practice more than two months ago. I heard that she was suffering.
The female tuberculosis died! "
"From the Zhang family, where is Zhou Xiaolin..."
Zhao Guanren strode to the entrance of the temple, and a steward ran over and said, "If you go back to the adults, Zhou Xiaolin is my grandfather and niece. She suffered from tuberculosis during her practice here and was buried in the middle of last month!" /
"Take me to Zhou Xiaolin's grave, and all the epidemic prevention brigade will be launched..."
Zhao Guanren pulled him up and ran out. Ye Jier and the others looked at each other in surprise, and hurriedly chased him out and got on the horse together.
Who knew that Zhou Xiaolin's tomb was outside the city. It took more than half an hour to reach the bottom of a mountain. The entire mountain was the cemetery of the Zhang family, and there were special guards outside the cemetery.
"Boss! It can't be here..."
Lv Datou jumped off his horse and said, "We have been riding horses for more than half an hour, and we have to walk for at least an hour. But the two little dead ghosts are both on foot, and the city gate will be locked at night. Someone has to open the gate to get out!"
"Look first at what I'm talking about..."
Zhao Guanren followed Guan Shi to the mountain. The Zhang family was buried in the best location in Feng Shui. The big family for hundreds of years has buried countless people, but the relatives can only be buried on both sides. Zhou Xiaolin’s tomb is here. Next to an inconspicuous bamboo forest.
"It's not this! Go into the woods and have a look..."
Zhao Guanren walked into the bamboo forest with Lv's head, but it was almost dark and found nothing, but when he walked out, he found that Zhou Xiaolin's tomb had not been worshipped for a long time, and grass had grown on the tomb.
"Didn't Zhou Xiaolin have a good relationship with your son, why don't you come to worship if you die..."
Zhao Guanren looked at the manager of Zhang's house, and the manager shook his head to indicate that he didn't know, so Zhao Guanren went around the graveyard again, and suddenly found a rabbit hole behind the grave. He took out a flashlight and took a look inside. Arrived at the broken coffin board.
"The epidemic prevention brigade comes up, dig up the grave for me..."
Zhao Guanren extinguished the flashlight and yelled, but the words shocked everyone, and the steward exclaimed: "My lord! Don't do it, how can you open the coffin without the permission of Clan Chief Zhou, Zhou If the family learns that something big has happened!"
"I'm not digging their family's ancestral grave, I will be responsible for something..."
Zhao Guanren pushed him away carelessly. Naturally, the epidemic prevention brigade was unambiguous, holding a shovel and other tools to go up the mountain to dig the grave.
Ye Jier asked suspiciously: "Could it be that Zhou Xiaolin cheated on the corpse in the tomb, and the death sent out just made the two boys smell it?"
"I surprise you guys, don't go away..."
Zhao Guanren pushed a few steps away and took the oil lamp. A dozen people quickly dug up the grave bag, revealing a new dark coffin, but something had already dug a hole in the side, and everyone suddenly exclaimed. With a sound, a brood of bamboo rats got out of the coffin.
"Catch it! This is game..."
Zhao Guanren hurriedly stepped on a big fat rat, and the others looked at him like a madman, and even Lu Datou disgusted: "How disgusting a rat eating a corpse is, you let it go!"
"Open the coffin! Let them look at the corpse..."
Zhao Guanren grabbed the bamboo rat and waved his hand. The steward rushed to plug in a few sandalwood. Ji Xiaoshou stepped forward and chanted the curse himself. The anti-epidemic team members often dealt with the corpse and put on masks and gloves. After that, the lid of the coffin was pried open in a few strokes.
"Boom~"
The lid of the coffin suddenly fell to the side. Everyone's eyes burst together. There were no bones in the empty coffin, not even a buried object or clothing. Ye Jier stepped forward and said in shock: "What is it? Empty coffin, where's the corpse?"
