Chapter 1078 Chapter 1078
Mrs. Mei saw that Song Guanzhou was still able to walk on his own, so she helped Gu down the stairs and called out to Song Guanzhou, "Are you scared? Are you feeling unwell anywhere? Is your leg okay?"
A series of greetings warmed Song Guanzhou's heart.
Looking at the sisters-in-law who followed Mrs. Mei and gathered around, they all laughed heartily. Seeing this, Qi Yueniang could no longer bear the anxiety and pretended to be angry and slapped Song Guanzhou's arm, "Ancestor, you scared me and us to death, you are so good——"
I want to tell you to stop running around, but I can't bear to blame you.
Song Guanzhou took her hand and said softly, "Sister-in-law, please don't mind that my hands are dirty. Fortunately, I was not with the others, otherwise the thief would have been so angry that he would have killed people indiscriminately. We are all weak girls, how could we have escaped? Fortunately, Silang came in time, and Linshan Honeysuckle Lotus Zhuanggu risked her life to save me, so I can be considered to have saved my life."
"Thank God, I was not hurt, otherwise..."
Qi Yue Niang was in tears and could no longer speak. The other girls also came forward to greet Song Guanzhou.
Song Guanzhou was quite patient and said it was okay.
But when it came to the thief, she avoided the question or said she would leave it to Pei An to deal with, because they had to wait for the government officials to arrive. At this moment, everyone sat down, and Master Huijue asked the kitchen to light the fire again and prepare vegetarian food.
Before we could have our vegetarian meal, officials arrived.
Unexpectedly, the person leading the group was He Wenhan, a subordinate of Jingzhao Yin. He was dressed in tight clothes and looked very capable, and he was followed by many runners and servants.
When they arrived at the temple, the abbot Huijue, a group of monks, as well as Pei An and Pei Chen, had been standing under the eaves waiting for a long time.
He dismounted and bowed.
"Master, Prince, Ji Zhang, sorry for the long wait."
Pei An frowned, "How did you alarm Lord He? Logically speaking, shouldn't this be the newly appointed county magistrate?"
"Sir Li, he is not available today. I am also working in the county government office. I might as well report it to my superiors. Since it is a murder case and it is in the capital, it will sooner or later alert the Jingzhao Yin. Why don't we intervene early?"
"Alright!"
Pei An gave up after hearing the explanation, and everyone was polite to each other and went in.
"Is my sister-in-law okay?"
In addition to the martial monks from Longen Temple, Pei Chen and Pei Hua also arranged for Liu Er from the government office to go with them to report to the county government. They told him roughly what had happened, and He Wenhan asked where the thief's body was placed.
"Your Excellency, nothing has been moved. The abandoned Buddhist temple is now guarded, and we are waiting for you to go and check it out."
"it is good."
Along the way, He Wenhan asked a lot of seemingly casual questions, but got unexpected answers.
"From what Master Ru and Ji Zhang said, this thief is targeting my sister-in-law. I wonder if my sister-in-law has any old enemies?"
Pei An pondered for a moment and shook his head.
"My wife was raised by my father-in-law since she was young. She lived in seclusion for a long time. She married into my family when she was less than sixteen years old. If there is any grudge, it is my wife and I who quarrel the most."
"Are there any dirty words between the master and the servant?"
When asked this question, Pei An pondered for a moment, "At the beginning of the year, the maids around my wife were not helpful, so they were all sent away."
"That's right."
He Wenhan muttered three words and said no more. He went straight into the small Buddhist temple with Pei An, the abbot and a few brave ones.
As soon as they pushed open the door, the smell of blood and dust hit them in the face. He Wenhan and the officers and coroners he brought with him remained calm, but Pei An and Master Huijue still paused.
Pei Chen, who was following behind, saw this and immediately turned around and said, "I won't go in to take a look either."
In order to avoid having a nightmare, he accidentally glanced at the miserable state of Jinzhu when she was fished out of the well last time and was almost scared to death.
After more than a month, all he could see was Jinzhu's cold corpse whenever he opened his eyes or closed them.
Pei An saw this and said, "Second brother, stay outside or go back to Second Aunt's place. I'll be here."
But he was unwilling to let Pei Chen leave.
To be honest, now that he came to his senses, what he was most curious about was how the two thieves died. Fighting alone against three thieves in the mountain was too brave.
After all, it is an assassination, and the key is to attack the enemy unexpectedly and catch them off guard.
He hesitated outside the door, and the voice of Master Huijue came out, "Amitabha, Lord He, I have already sent the monks, and never touched the bodies of these two people."
"it is good."
Pei Chen pricked up his ears. He couldn't see anything, but he could hear clearly.
Soon, the coroner beside He Wenhan said, "Sir, the long-faced man died from a sharp wound in the neck. The square-faced man had two knife wounds, the most fatal of which was on the chest, which injured his lungs and killed him."
This is just a preliminary review.
He Wenhan looked at the pool of blood on the ground and nodded in agreement. "This outfit looks like he was going to do something evil, but I didn't expect him to die here. The mask and short boots are the attire of a martial artist who likes to walk and move. Master——"
He stood up and looked at Master Huijue, "I wonder if anyone in the temple has seen these two people?"
Master Huijue held the Buddhist beads in his hand and thought for a moment. "There are 472 monks in the temple, and 257 servants. There are also pilgrims who stay for a long time and scholars who stay overnight. It is a large number of people. I have to interrogate the monks before I can answer your question."
"In that case, I will send someone to the master and let you arrange for the interrogation as soon as possible."
As for Pei An, he took a look and shook his head to deny it.
"Never."
He Wenhan understood, "A business of killing and robbing people will not look for a familiar face." He turned his head to look at the coroner, whispered some matters, and then stepped over the blood and walked to Pei An, "Ji Zhang, I still need to meet with my brother and sister-in-law, as well as today's guards, maids and servants one by one."
"Of course, that's why I asked my wife to hold on a little longer."
"Ok?"
persist in?
"Are you feeling unwell? Are you scared?" Since he was not injured, the only thing that could come to mind was that he had encountered such a thing and was so scared that he walked around outside.
Can understand.
"No."
Pei An walked out with He Wenhan and said truthfully, "My wife's body is covered with the dirty blood of these two thieves. She likes cleanliness and wanted to go back and wash it clean, but she also knows that this murder case is important, so she is waiting for you now."
"it is good!"
He Wenhan suddenly became full of energy, "My sister-in-law remained calm in the face of danger. She was covered in blood and must have been frightened. We should go and come back quickly."
At this moment, all the women in the mansion had gone to eat vegetarian food, and the maids and servants were serving vegetarian meals to their hungry masters.
Song Guanzhou's appetite was whetted.
Because the government had given enough money for incense and oil, and because of the bad things that had happened today, the monks in the kitchen, following the abbot's instructions, used all their vegetarian skills and served up plate after plate of delicacies.
Although it is a vegetarian dish, it is delicious and tasty.
He Wenhan stood at the door and looked over. At a glance, he could see the fourth young lady of the mansion, who was wearing a blood-stained shirt and skirt, feasting on a meal.
