Volume 3: Evil Ghosts Eat People Chapter 156 Supervisor

Two days later.
The case is still being handled intensively.
Over the past two days, Xu Zun and others have interrogated all the relevant personnel captured this time, but the gains are not very great .
The captured nuns knew very little. According to their accounts, the entire secret activities of Qinglan Temple were arranged by the temple master and several of her close disciples.
Especially when it comes to the training of the girls and the chanting of those mantras, it is basically done by Taoist Qinglan’s close disciples!
After the incident, those close disciples and the temple master disappeared together.
The Taoist nuns also knew that the activities carried out in the underground palace were all illegal, but they were similar to the bandits in Chongtian Temple and were recruited by the master of Qinglan Temple from all over the country.
They were either women who had committed crimes, beggars begging on the streets, or refugees from remote areas. Qinglan Temple took them in, so none of them dared to disobey orders.
Moreover, they said that the rules of Qinglan Temple were very strict and the punishments were quite severe, so no one dared to escape.
Xu Zun asked them if they had seen any suspicious persons appearing in Qinglan Temple, especially Changping Hou Lu Jinlong himself?
The Taoist nuns replied that they had never seen the Marquis in the Taoist temple. If there was any suspicious person, it was only Luo Yu whom they had occasionally seen.
Judging from this statement, Luo Yu was indeed a relatively important person, but it was a pity that he was already dead.
Next, Xu Zun asked about Timur Ani and Lu Xiaofeng. The Taoist nuns unanimously denied it and said that they had never seen any Yuanzhou women in the underground palace.
However, the nuns knew about Lu Xiaofeng. Just as what Hong Gu said was true, Lu Xiaofeng only stayed there for a few months before he became insane and crazy, and was finally taken away by Luo Yu!
It is conceivable that Lu Xiaofeng was taken to Chongtian Temple by Luo Yu. So it is possible that Annie went to Chongtian Temple at that time!
If you look at it this way, maybe didn't do anything to these two women?
Finally, Xu Zun asked about the secrets of Xuanmen.
But these Taoist nuns all claimed that they knew nothing about it. They only knew that the abbot of Qinglan Temple and those close disciples could recite the incantations, and those brainwashed girls could also recite them.
But they didn't understand what was being chanted specifically, and they didn't dare to ask, let alone know what Xuanmen was!
The Taoist nuns were like this, and the servants in the Changping Marquis's mansion cried out for injustice.
No matter how the jailers interrogated them, these people always claimed that they were innocent.
According to a detailed investigation, it was discovered that the number of people Zhao Yu counted that night was incorrect, and several guards of the Marquis' Mansion were missing that night.
It was said that these guards were all Wei Beihui's direct disciples, and they were most likely escorting the Marquis of Changping and his family out of the city...
After investigating the case to this point, Xu Zun felt uneasy again!
Needless to say, both the Marquis of Changping himself and these disciples of Wei Beihui have probably now regarded themselves as sworn enemies, right?
The happy life of Marquis Changping and the life of Taoist Wei were ruthlessly taken away by himself!
but……
Go to hell with you, you bastard. As the saying goes, you reap what you sow. This bunch of people clearly brought this upon themselves. If you want to live a happy life, why don’t you stop conspiring like this?
cut……
Looking at the external situation, Tangzhou Chief Secretary Dong Wanxing was very capable. He not only united the barracks of counties and prefectures in Tangzhou to issue a state-wide wanted notice for Changping Hou and others, but also cooperated with Shen Xinglian to send soldiers of the garrison army to all corners of Shangyuan City to gather information.
Although no news has been received so far, it is certain that it will not be easy for Changping Hou and others to escape from Tangzhou safely.
In addition to dealing with these tedious investigations, Xu Zun also took time to deal with some personal matters.
He took advantage of his power and had Zhao Yu slash Wei Beihui's body with a knife, one cut on the neck, creating the illusion that Wei Beihui had died from the knife.
Xu Zun did this just in case, as he didn't want too many people to know about Ku Niang's affairs.
On that day, besides Xu Zun and others, there were two other people who knew that Ku Niang had pulled out Wei Beihui's trachea. One was Timur Ani, and the other was the county magistrate Taimin.
However, Taimin was dying and unconscious at the time and had no idea what exactly had happened.
Therefore, the only thing Xu Zun has to deal with now is that Annie.
He had to think of a way to prevent Ani from telling anyone about Ku Niang's affairs.
Even though Ani is now determined to die and refuses to say anything, the internal guards will come sooner or later. When the internal guards come to interrogate her, I'm afraid Ani will not be able to withstand it!
Once Ani tells Neiwei about Ku Niang’s affairs, she might be in trouble.
So... we have to think of a way...
Unexpectedly, before Xu Zun could think of a good solution, someone came from above!
When Xu Zun returned to Shangyuan County Government Office, he found that there were two luxurious carriages in front of the government office and many more officials inside the government office.
After he entered the inner hall, he saw the governor Li Yan and Taimin with a bandage on his shoulder, warmly welcoming the two men.
One of them Xu Zun recognized, he was the Chief Censor of the Ministry of Justice - Chen Taiji!
However, the person who came with Chen Taiji this time was not Cai Kun, the leader of the Inner Guard Pavilion, but a middle-aged man wearing a black official robe and a goatee.
"Jiying," Chen Taiji greeted Xu Zun as soon as he saw him, "I didn't expect we would meet again so soon!"
"Master Chen!" Xu Zun hurried forward and bowed, praising him, "That's great! Now that you're here, we have a backbone!"
"Haha, I heard that you, the newly appointed Tangzhou Chief Justice, have solved several major cases right after arriving in Shangyuan City," Chen Taiji praised. "At this rate, I think you and I will soon become colleagues!"
"snort……"
Unexpectedly, after Chen Taiji finished speaking, the man in black robe next to him snorted coldly, with contempt in his eyes.
"Oh, Xu Zun, let me introduce you," Chen Taiji pointed at the man in black robe and introduced him, "This is Lord Li Jinlou, the Supervisor of the Dali Temple. He was appointed by the emperor to personally supervise this case!"
"Greetings, Lord Li!" Xu Zun bowed again.
"Hmm." However, Lord Li was very arrogant. He just said "hmm" in response, and even put his hands behind his back.
Depend on!
Xu Zun cursed inwardly, what a powerful official!
The Inspector of the Dali Temple, as the name suggests, is here to supervise how Xu Zun and others handle cases. To put it bluntly, he is here to find fault.
However, this troublemaker is really not easy to deal with. The Dali Temple is at the head of the three judicial courts and is equivalent to the Supreme Court.
If this person reports me, it will be a disaster!
"Sir Li," Li Yan was afraid that Li Jinlou didn't know Xu Zun's origins, so he immediately introduced him, "Xu Zun's father is Xu Changlin, Xu Siqing!"
"Yes, I know!" Li Jinlou snorted again, "But now the chief judge of the Dali Temple is surnamed Liu, not Xu!"
this……
Li Jinlou's words were clearly provocative, making the atmosphere on the scene instantly awkward.
"Well... hehe..." Finally, it was Chen Taiji who resolved the awkwardness and said, "Come on, let's get down to business first!
"My Lords, the Saint has sent a message, ordering Lord Li and I to come to Shangyuan City to investigate the Qinglan Temple and Changping Marquis Mansion's illegal plot. Now, tell us what's going on!"
"Master Chen," Xu Zun asked on the spot, "Tell me first, what is the situation in the palace now? Are those killer girls really in the palace?"
