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

The next morning, Wang Yugui rushed to the county government office early. Yesterday, Mr. Hai said that Master Nianshan would be interrogated today, so he had to arrive early and not miss it.

In the lobby of the county government, County Magistrate Hai went to court to hear the case.

Nun Nianshan was brought to the hall. Compared with last time, she seemed calmer and more composed: "Amitabha, this poor nun greets the magistrate!"

"Nianshan, the case of Mr. Zhang San has been tried in this county, but this county has not yet released you back to Shuijing Temple. Do you know why?" County Magistrate Hai was also very calm.

After hearing this, Nianshan looked at County Magistrate Hai and said, "Amitabha, I don't know!"

"That's exactly what I wanted to ask you, sir. Why are you asking me instead?"

"Well, okay, then I'll tell you that I discovered an underground secret room in the west wing of Shuijing Temple yesterday."

"Many human bones were found in the secret room. The county has detained all the nuns in the nunnery."

"We have already arrested Nianzhen, Jing, Jingfan and others. They have all confessed to the crime." After County Magistrate Hai revealed his trump card, he looked coldly at Nianshan.

After hearing this, Master Nianshan's face turned gloomy. The calmness she had just shown was gone, and there seemed to be tears glistening in her eyes.

Oh, Master Nianshan must have been very frightened. She didn't expect the truth to be revealed, Wang Yugui sighed inwardly.

"Master Nianshan, don't you have anything to say to this county?" County Magistrate Hai suddenly asked in a cold voice.

Nianshan looked at County Magistrate Hai with a sad look on her face: "Amitabha, sir, of course I have something to say!"

"Oh, go ahead!" County Magistrate Hai nodded, somewhat surprised by Master Nianshan's reaction.

Wang Yugui was also a little surprised. He thought that Nianshan would rush to explain.

Unexpectedly, this teacher was so calm and composed. As expected of a nun, she does have some skills.

Nun Nianshan gently wiped the tears from her eyes and sighed, "Amitabha, now that things have come to this, I have nothing to hide anymore!"

"No wonder the Lord suddenly sealed off my Shuijing Temple. I was suspicious before, but I didn't expect it to be true."

As he spoke, he looked up at County Magistrate Hai and said, "Sir, those bones in the secret room of the west wing belong to the robbers and thieves."

"They are all rapists and robbers who climbed over the wall into my nunnery in the middle of the night. They all deserve to be put to death!"

"These thieves were captured by me. I had no choice but to do so in order to protect the disciples and property in the nunnery."

"So, when you catch those thieves, you kill them all?" County Magistrate Hai asked loudly.

Nian Shan nodded: "Yes, sir, what else? Should we put them all back?"

"If we let these thieves go, my little nunnery will be in danger of being wiped out, so I will never let these thieves go back to the mountains!"

"Hey, Master Nianshan, since you have caught the thief, why don't you report it to the police?" County Magistrate Hai sighed and asked the same soul-searching question as he did to Nianzhen.

Nian Shan smiled bitterly: "Sir, will it be useful to report to the police?"

"You think we didn't report it to the authorities?"

"Oh, have you reported it to the authorities?" County Magistrate Hai was surprised.

Nianshan nodded and said slowly: "In fact, thieves disturbing nunneries happen from time to time."

"Because the nunnery is full of weak women and has some wealth, and it is located in the suburbs, those rapists and robbers will inevitably be interested in it."

"When my master was alive, there was an incident where a rapist broke into the nunnery in the middle of the night, raped the nuns, and robbed their belongings."

"My master reported the incident to the authorities immediately. But what did the authorities do?"

"They didn't catch the thief, but instead captured the sisters in our nunnery who were raped and interrogated them for a long time."

"The sister who was humiliated in my nunnery hanged herself after returning!"

"This is not over yet. People from the government office keep harassing the nunnery under the pretext of investigating a case."

"Each time they would take something away before they would stop, and in the end, no thief was ever caught!"

"My master was so angry that he fell ill. After he recovered, he vowed never to report to the authorities again!"

Nun Nianshan recalled the sad and angry past, tears streaming down her face. She wiped her tears and continued, "My master said that since the government can't protect us, then we should protect ourselves!"

"For this reason, the master specially selected the strongest disciples in the nunnery to form a team to be responsible for night watch."

"At the beginning, we used gongs and drums to scare away rapists and robbers. We just wanted to scare them away."

"Alas, what a pity. This method worked at first, but after a while, those persistent rapists who came a few times were no longer afraid."

"If one or two rapists jump into the nunnery, we can handle them, but we are afraid of the kind of gangs of six, seven, or even dozens of people. We will definitely not be able to defeat them."

"So, the master had to think of a lot of ways. The sacred trees and sacred flowers were planted to protect against those rapists and robbers!"

Nianshan sighed again when she said this: "Well, of course, relying solely on the sacred tree and sacred flower is not enough."

"Master, do you have some more effective and reliable methods that can ensure that the thieves fall before they start to harm the disciples in the nunnery?"

"Oh, what's the method?" County Magistrate Hai asked hurriedly.

Nianshan looked at County Magistrate Hai and said slowly, "Amitabha, sir, this is the secret recipe of my small nunnery. I'm sorry I can't tell you!"

"Your Excellency only needs to know that we have ways to deal with those rapists and robbers who broke into the nunnery."

When Wang Yugui heard this, he realized that Master Nianshan wanted to keep it a secret. This must be the method of casting a net and using fumigation incense that Li Qing mentioned?

"Okay, if the nun doesn't want to say it, I won't force her." County Magistrate Hai smiled.

Wang Yugui was a little surprised. Lord Hai didn't even bang the gavel during the trial today. He was quite friendly!

"So, since your master's time, you have started to kill all the thieves you catch in the secret room?" County Magistrate Hai asked again.

Nun Nianshan sighed again: "Sir, in fact, at the beginning, the master did not start a killing spree!"

"When we first caught the thieves, we just threw them off the mountain."

"But it's hard to change the nature of a thief!"

"These people are very evil. They were thrown out once, but they refused to believe it and came back a second time."

"Not only did he come here by himself, he also summoned more thieves to come with him!"

"There is no other way. The master can only start killing people to eliminate the harm to the people."

"So, the bones in the secret room of the west wing have been there since your master was here?" County Magistrate Hai frowned.

Nianshan nodded: "Some yes, most of them came later"

"The most were six years ago. Later, as Xiaoan's reputation as a place that is not easy to mess with spread, fewer thieves dared to come and cause trouble."

Nianshan looked up at County Magistrate Hai and said, "Especially in the past two years, since you came to Wangtian County, you have gotten much better."

"Only occasionally do some thieves from other places who don't know their own limits dare to come here, so Xiao'an doesn't kill many people!"

"So, who killed those people?" County Magistrate Hai asked again.

After hearing this, Nianshan smiled slightly and said, "Sir, does it matter who started it?"
