Chapter 542: Being courteous for nothing is either adultery or theft

"Oh, why do you think that the donor Ji wanted to frame you? Does the donor Ji have a grudge against you?" County Magistrate Hai frowned slightly after hearing this.

Jingyin said: "Sir, on the surface, that donor Ji not only has no grudge against me, but is also very kind to me."

"In recent years, she has often come to our nunnery to fast and stay overnight, and she brings me gifts every time she comes."

"If that's the case, why do you think she would frame you?" Upon hearing this, County Magistrate Hai frowned again.

Jingyin looked up at County Magistrate Hai and said, "Sir, there is a saying that you must have heard before!"

"To show your courtesy for nothing is to be either an adulterer or a thief!"

"I wonder what benefit I, a little nun, can bring to her? Why is she so enthusiastic about me?"

Jingyin snorted as she spoke: "She also said that I look like her daughter who died young. Humph, I don't believe her lies!"

"I don't look like her at all, so how could I possibly look like her deceased daughter?"

"Besides, she often talks to me about some crazy things outside. Why would she, who comes to the nunnery to fast, say those crazy things to a little nun like me?"

“So, I always feel that she has no good intentions towards me.”

"Besides, the tea leaves that got into trouble were also sent by her!"

Having said this, Jingyin paused for a moment and added: "Besides, I once heard her curse Madam Dongmei!"

"Oh, she cursed Madam Dongmei? Why?" County Magistrate Hai was shocked and asked hurriedly.

Jingyin said: "Yes, sir."

"Once, she came to talk to me, and when she mentioned that the women from Mr. Zhang's house often came to our nunnery to burn incense, she mentioned Madam Dongmei."

"Donor Ji, she said a lot of nasty things!"

Having said this, Jingyin stopped talking.

"Jingyin, what did the benefactor Ji say?" Lord Hai had no choice but to ask again.

Jingyin hesitated for a moment and said, "Donor Ji, she called Mr. Zhang San's wife Dongmei a shameless vixen."

"The daughter of the cook, the concubine pretending to be a lady, putting on airs! This vixen seduced Master Zhang to stick to her all day long, and he never went out to have fun."

Wang Yugui laughed when he heard this. Was this old procuress crazy? Why did she say this to the little nun Jingyin?

Because Ruan Dongmei was having an affair with Mr. Zhang San at home, Mr. Zhang San had no time to go to Yihonglou for fun, which delayed the madam's ability to make money, so the madam hated Ruan Dongmei?

Jingyin's face turned red as she spoke, and she added: "After scolding, Donor Ji said, "Ah, but to be a woman you have to be as coquettish as Madam Dongmei, in order to seduce a man."

"She also lamented that it was a pity for Madam Dongmei to marry into the Zhang family. If she had gone to a romantic place, she would have charmed a lot of men!"

"Sir, listen to her crazy words. I feel like she loves and hates Madam Dongmei. I wonder what the grudge is between them!"

After Jingyin finished speaking, she quickly chanted the Buddha's name: "Amitabha, I am so sorry, I shouldn't have said these things!"

After hearing this, Wang Yugui felt angry and amused at the same time. This old procuress really can't change her nature!

She hasn't forgotten her old profession even in the nunnery, and is talking nonsense to the little nuns.

But, for this, she had to poison Ruan Dongmei? It seemed like that wasn't enough motivation, was it?

If Master Zhang San is no longer going to Yihong Tower, there are other young masters who can go there. Why would they want to poison someone to death for this?

Jingyin suddenly said, "Sir, every time the donor Ji comes, she will come to my room and sit with me for a long time. Sometimes when I am not at home, she will come into my room and wait for me to talk."

"So, if she wants to do something in my room, she must have a chance!"

"Also, she also asked me about the sacred flower in my nunnery. I told her that the sacred flower is poisonous, so she also knows that the sacred flower is poisonous."

"So, I think the person who framed me can only be her!"

Wang Yugui frowned after hearing this. He had suspected that the brothel owner had a story, but he had never suspected that she had killed someone.

Could it be the madam who did it? Did the madam originally want to poison Ruan Dongmei? Put the blame on Jingyin? Did she accidentally poison Master Zhang?

That's not right. The madam sent several packets of tea to Shuijing Temple. Only the one given to Ruan Dongmei was poisonous. The other packets of tea were not poisonous.

How did she know which pack of tea Jingyin would give to Ruan Dongmei?

"Jingyin, when you gave tea leaves to Madam Dongmei, was Donor Ji in your room?" County Magistrate Hai smiled and asked.

Jingyin replied: "No, she stayed in the nunnery the night before and left early in the morning!"

"Then how does she know which bag of tea you want to give to Madam Dongmei?" County Magistrate Hai asked again

Obviously, County Magistrate Hai also discovered this logical loophole.

Jingyin was stunned after hearing this: "I haven't thought about this before"

Then he looked up at County Magistrate Hai and said, "Sir, why don't you go ask Donor Ji directly?"

"I don't know what's going on. Could it be that Benefactor Ji wanted to poison me or my master? Or the sisters in our nunnery?"

Jingyin said this while chanting the Buddha's name: "That's too terrible. Amitabha, good, good!"

Jingyin looked at County Magistrate Hai in confusion, her mind a little bewildered.

Wang Yugui laughed secretly, this little nun Jingyin is still too young!

He was self-righteous and spoke very reasonably at the beginning, but he couldn't hold back later and even shamelessly said that Mr. Hai was confused.

"Okay, Jingyin, I will clarify Mr. Ji's question." County Magistrate Hai looked at Jingyin and said, "You should clarify your question first!"

"Sir, what's my problem?" Jingyin said now, no longer as arrogant as before.

County Magistrate Hai asked, "When you took the tea leaves that day, was there anyone else around?"

"No, Senior Sister Jingchen came to tell me that Master asked me to take a bag of good tea that Donor Ji just sent over."

"After that, she left. I took a bag of tea from the cupboard and gave it to Master and gave it to Madam Dongmei," Jingyin said.

County Magistrate Hai asked again, "Did you hand it over to Madam Dongmei directly?"

"Yes, my master was talking to the Third Young Master's wife at the time, so he asked me to hand it over directly to Madam Dongmei," Jingyin replied.

County Magistrate Hai asked again, "Jingyin, does anyone usually pick the sacred flowers in your nunnery?"

"Sir, that magical flower is for guarding the courtyard. It is poisonous. Normally, Master does not allow anyone to get close to it, and no one picks it," Jingyin replied.

County Magistrate Hai nodded and asked, "So, have you ever seen pilgrims picking them?"

"Oh, I saw Donor Ji picking flowers once. She didn't know the sacred flowers were poisonous at the time. Later, I told her and she didn't pick them anymore." Jingyin said this and thought for a while.

He then said, "Anyone else? Oh, by the way, the painter Xiao Wang who came to our nunnery to paint a portrait a few days ago seemed to be very interested in our sacred flower as well."

"One day, after he finished work, he ran to the wall and stared at our magical flowers for a long time, but he didn't pick them!"

When Wang Yugui heard this, he was shocked. This little nun Jingyin, she discovered my flowers? How come I didn’t know about it!
