Volume 2: Female Corpse in Monk's Clothes Chapter 119 Who are you?
The next morning.
Chongtian Temple.
A thick fog suddenly appeared, enveloping the entire Taoist temple in thick fog.
The officials who arrived from Shangyuan County have arrived and are being directed by Ju Ran to conduct a comprehensive search of the Taoist temple.
The governor has issued an order to notify all the prefectures to set up defenses along the way and conduct focused inspections. At the same time, portraits of the escaped Taoists are being created, and a wanted notice will be issued immediately after the portraits are created.
In addition, the governor Li Yan also issued a special arrest warrant, ordering Xu Zun and others to immediately arrest the Xingchuan County magistrate and conduct a thorough investigation.
Even though the Xingchuan County Magistrate was not involved in the incident at the Chongtian Temple's training room, he had already been convicted of accepting bribes and shielding criminals, so he could not escape the law.
Perhaps, we can learn more about the inside story from the county magistrate.
An hour later, Jingwu Captain Shen Xinglian led a team of Shangyuan garrison troops to assist and took control of the entire Ligu Town.
The people in the Marquis' Mansion did not have the power to enforce the law, so after a simple handover, Wei Beihui led a group of Marquis' Mansion guards back.
In the battle of Chongtian Temple, the guards of the Marquis' Mansion were also injured. Wei Beihui brought their bodies back to the Marquis' Mansion for disposal, and the Marquis of Changping would naturally provide them with compensation.
At the same time, because Lu Mingyue and Lu Xiaofeng had a deep friendship, with Xu Zun's special approval, Lu Mingyue was allowed to take Lu Xiaofeng back to the Marquis' Mansion for treatment and recuperation first.
However, Xu Zun did not let the beautiful girl in blue gauze take her away, but gave her to Huo Anu to take good care of.
After all, these two are important witnesses and once they wake up, they may be able to provide important clues.
"Mingyue," Xu Zun said to Lu Mingyue in the thick fog, "If Xiaofeng wakes up and tells her story, you..."
"I understand, Brother Xu," Lu Mingyue said first, "I will send someone to relay her original words to you as soon as possible."
"Okay, you should be careful too!"
"Brother Xu," Lu Mingyue tidied her hair, came to Xu Zun and said softly, "I finally realized how naive I was before! I could only shout slogans, but they were useless at the critical moment. Instead, I became a burden to you..."
"What are you talking about!" Xu Zun advised, "Without your persistence, there would be no result today! Moreover, at the critical moment, I saw that you were brave and fearless, and you were righteous. How could you be a burden?"
"Brother," Lu Mingyue pouted and said, "You are really resourceful. If you hadn't been prepared, I'm afraid we would have died in this Taoist temple last night. I don't understand, how did you know we would be in danger?"
"I don't know," Xu Zunyan said, "but it's better to be prepared!"
"Thank you for your advice!" Lu Mingyue said with admiration in her eyes, pouting her lips, "From now on, I will definitely study martial arts well, and I will be able to protect you if I encounter the same situation again!"
"You're such a jinx," Xu Zun said with a smile, "Don't let the same thing happen again. If you say something unlucky like this, you'll have to drink three glasses of wine as punishment! Big brother, remember this for you. When , drink three glasses of wine as punishment first!"
"Hehehe..." Lu Mingyue was also amused, "I think you are just trying to pressure me into treating you to a meal! Don't worry, I'm already an adult, and I will accompany you to the end, until we're drunk!"
"Good, great!" Xu Zun gave a thumbs up.
Unexpectedly, Lu Mingyue also raised her thumb and hooked it with Xu Zun.
Xu Zun had only seen people hooking their little fingers, but had never seen people hooking their thumbs, so he immediately suspected that Miss Lu was taking advantage of him.
"Brother Xu really kept his promise and helped me find Xiaofeng. I admire you! But..." Lu Mingyue suddenly put away her fingers and said with a dim look in her eyes, "Brother, please look for Xiaofeng's family! Xiaofeng...there is nothing left now!"
"Well, I know, at least she still has good sisters like you!"
As they spoke, their eyes met, and their gazes dimmed unconsciously, because they had already understood each other tacitly:
I'm afraid it will be difficult to find Lu Xiaofeng's family...
…
After the first round of searching, the detectives found a large amount of treasures in Chongtian Temple, such as antiques, calligraphy and paintings, gold, silver and jade articles, house deeds, etc. Among them, there were more than a dozen pure gold Buddha statues...
From this we can see that this is indeed a den of thieves!
When the detectives saw these stolen goods, they were all shocked. No one could have imagined that such an evil and lawless place existed in the great Xuan Dynasty, and it was so close to them!
It is conceivable that since this matter involves the state religion Xuandao, it will inevitably cause an uproar.
Therefore, no one, whether constables or soldiers, dared to be negligent, and all of them entered into the intensive search and arrest work.
Xu Zun also expressed deep sympathy for the governor Li Yan. Major cases followed one after another, and each one was earth-shattering.
I heard that Governor Li has been ill recently. After he learned about the Chongtian Temple incident , I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to recover from this illness?
After all, the Xingchuan County Magistrate is not a minor official, and Xu Zun needs to step in personally to be influential.
Moreover, after all, this was someone else's land, and the other party was under the jurisdiction of Wude County, while the people he brought with him were from Shangyuan County Government, so no one could be sure whether the arrest would be successful?
However, things are unpredictable.
Just when Xu Zun was planning to make a plan to ensure the arrest was foolproof, the county magistrate of Xingchuan County actually came to the Chongtian Temple on his own initiative!
It turned out that after receiving the report from his subordinates, he rushed to Chongtian Temple to check the situation as soon as possible.
This time it was really effortless. The Xingchuan County Magistrate was tied up by the soldiers who came to meet him before he even stepped into the temple gate.
None of the county magistrate's followers were spared and were all arrested on the spot.
After the arrest, Xu Zun took the arrest warrant written by Li Yan and prepared to have a good talk with the county magistrate who had come to him on his own initiative.
And at this moment, Huo Anu suddenly sent someone to report that the beautiful girl in blue gauze had woken up!
this……
Xu Zun weighed the matter for a few seconds and immediately decided to leave the interrogation of the county magistrate to Ju Ran and Zhao Yu, while he would go to question the beautiful girl.
The reason for making this decision was not because the beautiful girl was pretty, but because Xu Zun believed that the information obtained from the beautiful girl should be more important than that from the county magistrate, and it might even be possible to find the whereabouts of Lu Xiaofeng's family.
So Xu Zun went straight to Yu Yangzi's residence. The girl in blue gauze had been moved out of the secret room and placed on another bed.
When Xu Zun arrived, the girl in blue gauze was drinking water. She looked pale and weak.
But no matter from which angle you look at it, it is still so beautiful and so charming.
"Girl," Huo Anu saw Xu Zun coming and introduced him to the blue-veiled girl, "This is our Tangzhou Chief Justice Xu. He saved you. If you have anything to say, just tell him!"
"Your servant greets you, sir. Thank you for saving !"
As soon as the girl in blue gauze opened her mouth, it was clear that she was not an ordinary girl.
"Girl," Xu Zun asked, "where are you from? What's your name? Why are you here?"
"Your Excellency," the blue-veiled girl put down the cup and said slowly, "My name is Timur Ani, and I am the personal maid of Aiyu, the Naiman princess of Haimier County in Yuanzhou."
"Oh..." Xu Zun nodded first, and then he asked in surprise as if his reaction time was a beat slower, "What!? Who!? Can you say it again?"
…
