Detective in the Red Chamber

Hearing this, Monk Jie Nian became impatient, subconsciously stepped forward and said, "Is there any evidence for this, my lord? According to what the benefactor said, my junior brother was clearly killed by that demon, how could... "

"Master be careful!"

Sun Shaozong sternly snapped, and said sternly, "I have always judged cases based on the imperial court's law. Among the laws of my Great Zhou Dynasty, there is no such thing as not finding out the truth and the murderer after a major murder occurred, but blaming it on the demons." The reasoning on the head!"

Jie Nian was robbed by him, and immediately fell silent.

No matter how sure the Taishanghuang was about the demons, he would definitely not convict Sun Shaozong of any crime because he insisted on 'maintaining the king's law'; nor would he issue a clear order to order Sun Shaozong to stop investigating the case.

That is to say, no matter what happens to the child, this case is settled by Sun Shaozong!

After figuring this out, Monk Jie Nian's bald head suddenly looked like a purple eggplant.

And when he saw Jie Nian's face with all kinds of emotions and six desires, not to mention Sun Shaozong, who was keen to observe, even Chu Liang who was beside him had already guessed that he must have some secret reasons to be involved in Jie Xian's case.

"Abstinence Master."

So Chu Liang suddenly said, "Do you think this yard is also infected by evil spirits, do you want to do some rituals to avoid future troubles?"

What he said was obviously to take the opportunity to instigate trouble, so as to sweep away Sun Shaozong's face.

And the precept did as he wished, he looked around pretendingly, nodded and said, "After what my lord said, the poor monk discovered that this place is indeed full of evil spirits. If it is allowed to spread, it may lead to a big disaster." disaster!"

As he spoke, he clasped his palms together and said, "Amitabha, this poor monk has limited magic power. For the sake of the common people nearby, I'm afraid I have no choice but to burn this house to the ground."

Chu Liang didn't expect that Jie Nian would release such a ruthless move, and he was overjoyed at once, secretly thinking that if he could sweep Sun Shaozong's face, he would definitely be able to please the governor after he went back.

Therefore, without waiting for Sun Shaozong to open his mouth, he rushed to order, "Come here, quickly prepare something to light the fire, and just wait for the master to give an order, and burn this evil-infested yard to ashes!"

With this order, most of the people in Nanzhen Fusi immediately dispersed.

And it was only at this time that Chu Liang seemed to think of Sun Shaozong as the "shangguan", and he hurriedly bowed and said, "I'm rude to you, but this is also for the sake of protecting the people in the capital. Mr. Sun is known as the blue sky. If you want to come here You shouldn't mind the subordinate's overreaching, right?"

He said it was impolite, but his eyes were full of provocation.

Unexpectedly, the monk Jie Nian also had his own plans, and before Sun Shaozong could respond, he preemptively said, "The poor monk has limited magic power, so he can only make this bad plan, but if Master Sun is willing to show his noble hand and let Junior Brother Jie Chen and others come out, we will wait." With the joint efforts of the brothers and sisters, we will definitely be able to..."

"Listen to the meaning of the master."

Sun Shaozong interrupted his speech again, and said with a sneer, "Could it be that I want this official to bend the law for personal gain?"

In fact, Sun Shaozong really didn't care if the yard was burning or not. Anyway, with his adaptability, he would definitely not let Fusi Nanzhen gain the upper hand.

Therefore, Jie Nian wants to use this matter as a bargaining chip, it is pure wishful thinking.

But after hitting a snag, Jie Nian's face became gloomy again, he gritted his teeth and urged, "In that case, please ask Mr. Sun to lead the way, and lead the poor monk to see the evildoer who came into being."

It seemed that the child could not escape this disaster after all.

Knowing that this matter must never be rejected, Sun Shaozong sighed inwardly, and had no choice but to lead Jie Nian, Chu Liang and a dozen or so dragon guards back to the courtyard.

Seeing that he was getting closer and closer to the cell that lacked the iron gate, Sun Shaozong's footsteps were getting heavier and heavier - if an adult was wronged, he wouldn't be in such a difficult situation, but who would provoke a newborn baby? who?

"Ah~!"

At this moment, he suddenly heard a scream coming from the cell, and after hearing clearly that it was Miaoyu's voice, Sun Shaozong's expression changed drastically, and he rushed into the cell in a few steps!

When he got to the house, he saw Miao Yuzheng staggering back with a discolored face, and almost ran into Sun Shaozong's arms.

And on the opposite bed, the naughty nun Zhishan was holding up the ashen-faced child, laughing silently and ferociously, and at the same time spurting out streams of blood mixed with minced flesh from his mouth!

When ordinary people see this, they will definitely step forward to check on the condition of Zhishan and the child.

However, Sun Shaozong didn't say a word, before Jie Nian, Chu Liang and others chased in, he grabbed Miaoyu's little hand and quickly glanced at it.

When he saw many fresh wear marks on her hands, and even a few small wounds that had not been closed, Sun Shaozong hurriedly asked in a low voice, "Have you sent it out?!"

During the questioning, Sun Shaozong was full of anticipation, but when he saw Miaoyu shaking his head, his heart suddenly turned cold!

This is really the worst possible situation!

But it turned out that Sun Shaozong's original plan was to let Miaoyu go to the morgue in the backyard of the government office, get a baby's corpse and steal it back. An abandoned baby who was smothered to death.

Although it can be basically concluded that no one will come to claim the baby's body, according to the rules, it still has to be placed in the morgue for seven days before being buried.

If it was the previous summer, the baby's body would have already been covered with scars, and it had even begun to rot.

But last winter, in order to slow down the decay of the corpse so as not to miss any evidence, Sun Shaozong deliberately had a lot of ice cubes frozen and stored in the newly dug cellar of the morgue.

After being refrigerated, in just two days, there shouldn't be any obvious traces.

Combined with the various teeth collected by Lao Xu, and the isingas glue used to glue the broken bones of the corpse, it is not difficult to forge a baby corpse with teeth.

And with old Xu Su's cold-hearted and hot-hearted personality, and the most contemptuous character of ghosts and gods, as long as he tells the truth, even if he refuses to help, he will pretend to be deaf and dumb and let Miaoyu do things - after all, no one at that time Who would have thought that this matter would be so serious that it would alarm the Supreme Emperor!

After finding a way to replace the real baby with the corpse, Sun Shaozong will deal with this copycat version of the 'monster' in front of the common people and the monks of Fayuan Temple, and the whole plan will be considered complete.

The most difficult part of this plan is to face the horrible situation in the morgue.

That's why Sun Shaozong asked her if she dared to take the risk herself.

But now it seems...

In order to save the baby, this Miaoyu was too courageous!

Looking at the marks on her hands, it was obvious that she had just climbed over the wall and replaced the live baby with a dead baby—and the live baby hadn't had time to be sent outside yet!

What's even more unfortunate is that just because of a mistake, I didn't object to Jie Nian and Chu Liang's idea of ​​setting fire to the yard. Now that I want to go back on my word, wouldn't there be no silver 300 taels here? !

And after the fire started, no matter where the child was hidden, there were only two endings

One, was burned alive!

Second, because of crying in the fire, or because of Miaoyu's unbearable exposure, and then being killed by the monks!

And once the second situation occurs, it will also implicate the crime of deceiving the emperor!

If it really comes to this point, Sun Shaozong may only be able to activate the emergency record-throwing Miaoyu out as a scapegoat, and slandering Wei Ruolan by the way!

Anyway, all the criminal officials can testify that Sun Shaozong has always been honest with Miaoyu, but Wei Ruolan often goes out with her.

The first person who stood up to defend Miaoyu and the baby just now was officially Wei Ruolan; and Sun Shaozong did not clearly express his intention to defend the baby from the beginning to the end.

Comparing the two, even if Miaoyu's words are convincing, saying that she acted under Sun Shaozong's instructions, it is not difficult for Sun Shaozong to argue that she deliberately framed herself in order to protect her lover.

This is also the reason why Sun Shaozong dared to entrust this plan to Miaoyu.

but……

This emergency filing is indeed a bit shameless. If he hadn't been forced into a corner, Sun Shaozong would never have wanted to use it.

Chapter 434 Good and Strong

Sun Shaozong made up his mind, and immediately kept a distance from Miaoyu calmly.

Almost at the same time, Chu Liang led his subordinates to rush in like a swarm, and they were taken aback when they saw the sinister laughing appearance of the naughty nun Zhishan.

"Go and see!"

Chu Liang raised his hand, and immediately grabbed two subordinates from the left and right, and waited to step forward to check the situation of the mother and son.

But before they got close, Zhishan collapsed on the bedside, the wild laughter on his face gradually froze, and the baby in his hand fell to the ground.

Seeing this, the two dragon guards rushed up to test the breath and pulse of the mother and son respectively, then turned around at the same time and shook their heads at Chu Liang.

Obviously, the mother and son were both silent.

Chu Liang frowned slightly, his eyes fell on Miaoyu again, and he asked in a deep voice, "Who are you? How could this nun and mother be like this?"

Miaoyu pinched the corner of her clothes, shook her head in a panic and said, "Poor nun Miaoyu, I... I don't know what happened, I wanted to see how the child was doing, but when I entered the door, I saw Zhishan holding the child and sitting On the bed, it looks like a mud-bodied wood plastic."

"I was just about to ask her what happened, when she suddenly laughed and chewed her tongue and killed herself!"

This is somewhat different from Sun Shaozong's original plot - he didn't expect Zhishan to kill himself by chewing his tongue in order to protect the "Huanxi Bodhisattva" in his heart!

However, Sun Shaozong still followed the original plan, stepped forward with a calm face, made a fake observation, and then sighed, "Although this Zhishan was originally crazy, who would have thought that she would accidentally smother her own flesh and blood to death?" gone."

After saying that, he turned around and spread his hands at Chu Liang, saying, "The corpses of the mother and son are all here, and Chu Baihu can decide what to do with them."

Chu Liang did not doubt that Sun Shaozong would use the civet cat in exchange for the prince, and besides, the main purpose of his trip was not to slay demons.

So he asked a few words about Zhishan's usual situation, looked at the monk Jie Nian, and asked, "Master Jie Nian, do you think these two corpses are going to be burned together with the courtyard, or..."

"Amitabha."

The monk Jie Nian proclaimed the Buddha's name, and Baoxiang solemnly said, "Since a monster born at the right time, how could he be so easily filled with evil?"

Sun Shaozong's heart tightened, thinking that the monk had seen some flaws, but the monk pointed at Jiexian's corpse, and said firmly, "It must be that after Jiexian was assassinated by this monster, he still upholds the principle of killing demons and eliminating demons." I will not hesitate to lose my soul and never be reborn, and choose to perish with this demon!"

As he said that, he couldn't help but looked up to the sky and sighed, "It's good to be a sage, and it's good to be a sage!"

"When the poor monk returns to his mission, he will definitely ask the Supreme Emperor to bestow honor on Jiexian in recognition of his achievements in eliminating demons and defending Taoism."

it is good……

What a shameless bald ass!

Threats and lures failed, but they came up with such an idea of ​​drawing salary from the bottom of the pot again!

If the Supreme Emperor listened to his nonsense and really gave Jiexian some name or something, then this matter would be considered a final conclusion—whoever digs out the secrets behind Jiexian is tantamount to following The emperor can't make it through!

Not to mention Sun Shaozong, even Chu Liang, who was in the same camp, couldn't help but secretly scolded the monk for being shameless.

But after scolding, he still followed Jie Nian's words and said with a sneer, "I heard that the Shuntian Mansion deliberately shielded the demon mother and child. During the stalemate, Master Jiexian was unfortunately plotted against. Dare I ask Lord Qianhu if this matter is okay?" true?"

Sun Shaozong frowned, and asked back, "Is this what the Supreme Emperor wants to ask?"

Seeing him frowning, Chu Liang's attitude became even more aggressive, "Although the Supreme Emperor didn't ask the question, the lower officials will definitely report the answer of Lord Qianhu truthfully!"

"Ok."

Sun Shaozong sighed, and said 'helplessly', "I didn't intend to protect the mother and son from the top and bottom of the Shuntian Mansion, but Wei Ruolan and Wei Tongju didn't know why, but they insisted on stopping the masters from eliminating demons and defending the way - and this official is here After Master Jiexian passed away, he took over the case in accordance with court rules."

"If Chu Baihu doesn't believe it, he can call the jailer Zhou Da and the prisoner in the house arrest to interrogate him carefully."

Chu Liang was suddenly dumbfounded. He had heard that Xu's claim that it was Sun Shaozong who detained Monk Jiechen and others, so he thought that it was Sun Shaozong who stopped the monks from "dispelling demons and defending Taoism".

Therefore, he couldn't wait, and wanted to give Sun Shaozong the label of covering up evildoers and causing the death of eminent monks.

Whoever wants to stop the monks is someone else!

And if it's someone else, it's fine, the left and right are the subordinates of the Criminal Department, and Sun Shaozong is at least jointly responsible.

But this person is Wei Ruolan...

Who doesn't know that Wei Ruolan is the brother-in-law of the King of Beijing, and the King of Beijing is the most beloved grandson of the Supreme Emperor?

Who doesn't know that the Wei family and the Sun family are in the same situation?

If you really want to report the truth, wouldn't you offend the King of Beijing, and let this man surnamed Sun take advantage of it for nothing? !

After being dazed for a long while, Chu Liang forced a smile and said, "I'm afraid there may be some misunderstanding in this."

"Of course there was a misunderstanding."

Sun Shaozong grinned, and went to Monk Jiexian again, untied his monk robe, fiddled with the red gourd and asked, "I don't know Master Jiexian, but can you recognize this thing?"

When Jie Nian saw the gourd, the original expression of Zhizhu in his hand suddenly collapsed, the muscles on his face twitched slightly, and he forced himself to calm down and said, "How does the poor monk know about the personal things of Junior Brother Jie Nian?"

"That's quite a coincidence."

Sun Shaozong looked back and pointed to Zhishan on the bed, and said, "I didn't know what it was at first, but Zhishan, an obscene nun, recognized this thing - this thing is called 'Chant Women's Yin', it is said that even chaste women who take this thing, It is also inevitable that the heart will be shaken and the mind will not be able to hold on."

After speaking, he sneered at Jie Nian again, "I don't know why an eminent monk who wants to kill a prostitute's mother and child would carry this thing with him?"

Jie Nian was speechless when asked, but how could he answer?

He could only secretly scold Jiexian in his heart for being licentious and immoral, and when he came out to do serious errands, he still didn't forget to bring these things with him, ruining his plan for nothing.

"Master Baihu."

At this moment, someone came to the door again, bowed down and reported, "I waited to find a pile of dry firewood nearby, and now it has been piled up outside the courtyard. May I ask when the fire will be lit..."

"dot dot dot!"

Before Chu Liang could respond, Jie Nian flicked his sleeves angrily, and said loudly, "Light the fire quickly, and burn this yard and the mother and child to a clean slate!"

"Burning the yard?"

Hearing this, Miaoyu, who had been standing with her head bowed, suddenly raised her head, her eyes widened, and she blurted out, "No, this yard cannot be burned!"

With one sentence, everyone's eyes were attracted, and there was some suspicion and scrutiny in their eyes.

It seems that we still need to use the emergency record!

Sun Shaozong sighed inwardly, and was about to come forward at any time to clear up the relationship, but unexpectedly, someone in the courtyard shouted, "Miss Miaoyu, since her mother and son were born in Buddhism, I don't think there is anything wrong with burying her with fire. "
