After time travel, I ate glutinous rice bran in ancient times

"Oh, how many donors are there who ask questions like this? Who are they? Do you remember them, Master?" County Magistrate Hai asked hurriedly.

Nianshan said: "Most pilgrims would stop and leave immediately after hearing that the Bodhisattva would blame them."

"The only people who ask questions are some big donors. They occasionally ask out of curiosity!"

At this point, Nianshan suddenly frowned and said, "For example, the third young lady of Mr. Zhang's mansion once asked me..."

"Oh, the wife of the third young master of the Zhang family also knows that the magic flower is poisonous?" County Magistrate Hai frowned and asked hurriedly.

Wang Yugui was also surprised. It turned out that the Third Young Master’s wife also knew that the magical flower was poisonous!

Nianshan nodded: "Yes, the Third Young Master's wife often brings the women of the Zhang family to the nunnery to burn incense and worship Buddha."

"She saw the beautiful sacred flowers in the nunnery and told me that she wanted to pick a few branches."

"I first told her that the Bodhisattva would blame me, but I didn't expect that the Third Young Master's wife would laugh after hearing it."

"It's just picking a few flowers, why did you use the Bodhisattva to scare her?"

"She also said that if someone else picked these flowers for the Bodhisattva, they might blame her. But the Zhang family has paid a lot of money to the Bodhisattva. How could the Bodhisattva blame her if she picked a few flowers?"

Nianshan sighed as she spoke: "Alas, I saw that the Third Young Master's wife had a very stubborn temper, and I was afraid that she would really steal the flowers and cause trouble, so I had no choice but to tell her that the sacred flower was poisonous."

"I see." Magistrate Hai nodded and asked, "Did the Third Young Master's wife ever pick the divine flower?"

"I don't think so. After I said that, she nodded and said she wouldn't pick it!" said Nianshan.

County Magistrate Hai frowned and said, "Could it be that the Third Young Master's wife stole some more later, and you didn't see it, Master?"

"This shouldn't happen." Nian Shan smiled slightly and said, "Your Excellency may not know that this sacred flower is poisonous, so I am very careful."

"I have specially assigned two disciples, Jingchen and Jingxin, to guard the gate and take turns."

"When pilgrims enter the nunnery, they will be especially careful and will not let anyone get close to the walls!"

"If they find someone stealing the sacred flower, they will report it to me. I have never heard them say anything about the Third Young Master's wife stealing the flower."

After Nianshan finished speaking, she looked at County Magistrate Hai and said, "Sir, I have made it very clear. Not only did I not poison Mr. Zhang San to death,

"I can guarantee that even my young disciple Jingyin would not do such a vicious thing!"

"As for the donor Ji who sent us the tea, it shouldn't be possible for her to poison the tea, right?"

"Donor Ji has no grudge against us, and she particularly likes Jingyin. It's impossible for her to poison us in the tea leaves."

"Besides, she didn't know that the sacred flower in the small nunnery was poisonous, and she never stole the sacred flower!"

"So, there must be someone else who poisoned Mr. Zhang San's tea. I hope you can see clearly and let us return to the nunnery as soon as possible!"

Alas, after listening to this, Wang Yugui sighed secretly. What Master Nianshan said before was all very good.

The subsequent inference about Donor Ji refuted this statement. Haha, the old procuress not only had a previous relationship with Jingyin, but also knew that the magic flower was poisonous!

It can be seen that Jingyin did not report the matter of the brothel owner stealing flowers to Master Nianshan.

Therefore, Master Nianshan may not know all the things going on in the nunnery.

"Master Nianshan, you have explained very well today. The county will make its own decision. You don't need to say more," County Magistrate Hai said loudly.

He added: "Once the real culprit is found in this county, we will naturally let you and your disciple return to the nunnery!"

"I have another question for this county. I heard that Nianshan likes to drink tea very much. I wonder what kind of good tea your nunnery has. Are all those tea leaves given to Jingyin for safekeeping?"

"Well, I like to drink tea, but I only drink the tea sent by big donors."

"Most of them are from Xu's in the city, and occasionally there are other teas like the one sent by Donor Ji!"

"Because Jingyin was a well-behaved and lovable girl, she often followed me to greet the donors, so the tea leaves I collected were all given to her for safekeeping," replied Nianshan.

After hearing this, County Magistrate Hai nodded and said, "Very good! I will stop here for now."

"If you think of anything, please let me know at any time!"

He said loudly, "Come on, please ask Nianshan to go down for the time being."

County Magistrate Hai was still very polite to Master Nianshan and even used the word "please".

Master Nianshan chanted a Buddhist chant, signed her name and sealed her name, then left the hall.

County Magistrate Hai looked at Captain Liu and said, "Captain Liu, please go to Shuijing Temple and tell the two young masters Jingchen and Jingxin to come and teach them."

"Take this tea paper bag to Xu's for identification!"

"Yes, sir, I will do it right away," Captain Liu agreed, turned around and strode out of the court.

"Bang!" Magistrate Hai slammed the gavel and said, "Adjourn the court!"

When they arrived at the back hall, County Magistrate Hai invited Wang Yugui to sit down and have a cup of tea: "Little Painter Wang, you must be tired from listening to the trial. Come, sit down and have a cup of tea with me!"

Just as he finished speaking, a yamen runner came over to report: "Sir, it's already 3 p.m. and you haven't had lunch yet. Your wife is getting anxious!"

County Magistrate Hai heard this and laughed: "Oh, no wonder I feel hungry."

"Master Painter Xiao Wang, you must be hungry too. Come, come, have a meal with me!"

"Sir, you are so obsessed with sleep that you forget to eat." Wang Yugui also laughed and said, "Students are fine. They can hide in there and secretly eat a few snacks to fill their stomachs."

Wang Yugui had attended trials several times and had some experience. He knew that when Haida judges tried cases, they often worked overtime.

So, he brought a bag of snacks with him.

The yamen runners quickly brought two meals over. County Magistrate Hai and Wang Yugui ate and chatted: "Little Painter Wang, what do you think of the trial today?"

"Sir, judging from today's interrogation, I think that both the madam Ji Meiyun and Nian Shan can be cleared of suspicion."

"The most suspicious person at the moment is Jingyin. In addition, the third young master's wife of the Zhang family is also suspicious," Wang Yugui said

Hai County Magistrate laughed and said, "I think so too. These two people have motives to kill."

"Jingyin and the Third Young Master's wife both seem simple-minded, but are actually cunning people."

"In a murder case like this, it would be difficult for them to confess the truth if there is no solid evidence. Let's wait until we have interrogated Jingchen and Jingxin tomorrow before we speak!"

"Oh, sir, do you think they both have a motive to kill?" Wang Yugui was shocked and asked hurriedly.

County Magistrate Hai smiled slightly and looked at Wang Yugui: "Master Painter Wang, don't you think so?"

"Well, I have thought about this, but I don't have any evidence, so I dare not say anything," Wang Yugui said hurriedly.

County Magistrate Hai laughed: "Then let's not talk about it for now. After the interrogation, everything will be revealed. Ah, haha!"

……

When Wang Yugui finished his quick meal at the county government office and returned home, the sun had already set.

As soon as I got home, I heard the chirping of chickens and the laughter of my older sisters coming from the backyard.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out that Wang had bought ten chicks from the market today.

The eldest sister and the second sister were chatting and laughing around the ten fluffy little yellow chickens!
