Chapter 75: The Corpse of the Woman in Monk Clothes (1)
"Sir," Zhao Yu asked in a low voice behind Xu Zun after he asked, "Do you have any flaws? If not, we will be embarrassed today!"
"What's the rush?" Xu Zun said, "I haven't finished asking yet! I just asked the servant..."
"Ah?" Zhao Yu's cheeks were sweating, "You will ask Master later if you want to ask him? Even the Marquises, do you want to ask?"
"Yes," said Xu Zun, "Now it seems that the disappearance of Miss Hou Mansion is getting worse and worse. Just ask these servants how can they do it?"
"Ah?" Zhao Yu said in surprise again, "What else is wrong in the missing case?"
"Before..." Xu Zun said his analysis, "The reason why I insisted on going to the Marquis' Mansion to investigate and put forward a sentence is nothing more than trying to test it.
"If we are finally left out, it means that the Marquis' Mansion may have received news of the kidnappers and are preparing to deal with the kidnappers secretly.
"But unexpectedly, they asked us to come in...this is..."
"That's not kidnapping?" Zhao Yu was also curious, "Since it's not kidnapping, it's not for money, not for money, what else can it be? Revenge, feelings?
"Oh..." He guessed Xu Zun's thoughts, "Are you suspecting that Miss Lu was kidnapped because of emotional reasons?"
"Not necessarily," said Xu Zun, "besides these two guesses, there are several possibilities, but those are the ones we least want to see!"
"Ah? What else is possible?" Zhao Yu asked.
"Political struggle, and..." Xu Zun said, "a perverted killer..."
Unexpectedly, it seemed as if it had come true. As soon as Xu Zun finished speaking, a person hurried in from outside.
"Two sirs, Mr. Wei asked you to speak in the front hall," the person who spoke was the previous manager, but when he saw him panic and his body trembled, "The situation is urgent, please hurry up..."
Oops!
Xu Zun suddenly felt an ominous premonition in his heart.
The two immediately followed the manager through the garden and came to the front hall of the Marquis' Mansion.
But I saw a chaos in the front hall, and the maids and servants were packing up the broken cups, their faces were like wax paper, silent as if they were cicadas, and there was a sad and solemnity in the air.
"You guys go and take care of your wife!" But seeing Wei Beihui being instructed to the servant, "Call the doctor over here, don't be stunned!"
"Yes..." Several servants immediately lowered their heads and quickly retreated.
"Master Wei Tian," Zhao Yu hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "What's wrong? Why are you so nervous?"
"Two," Wei Beihui said with a serious expression, "I just came to report that a female corpse was found in Huguo Temple, wearing a cassock, and her death was extremely terrifying, and it depends on her age...ah..."
"ah!?"
Xu Zun and Zhao Yu were shocked, and they did not expect that the situation would be so sudden.
"Mrs. I'm all blamed me when she heard the news. She didn't let the person who reported the incident avoid it, alas!"
Wei Beihui twisted the floating Chen with a look of depression and regret.
"Don't be anxious at the Heavenly Master," Xu Zun's heart was ups and downs, but he still tried to persuade him calmly, "It's not certain that the female corpse must be Miss Lu. It's true that the ears are false and the eyes are true!"
"I understand, too," Wei Beihui said hurriedly, "I have ordered people to prepare fast horses. Let's go and have a look together!"
"Okay, this is inevitable! But..." Xu Zun paused and reminded, "Tianshi Master, don't be too impatient. If the female corpse is really a lady, it means that the bad guy may have come to the Marquis' Mansion, so..."
"Oh..." Wei Beihui trembled all over and suddenly realized, "Mr. Xu is right to remind him! Since this is the case, I can't leave the Marquis' Mansion easily. Don't be trapped in the villain again!"
"Tianshi," Xu Zun said with his fist, "We both go to find out the situation first. Once there is any news, we will send someone back to report it."
"Okay, okay," Wei Bei nodded as he said to his subordinates, "You guys follow the two adults and send back as soon as there is news!"
"yes!"
Four guards Ying Nuo immediately saw them all look like lightning and their agile skills, so they must be masters.
Xu Zun understood that Wei Beihui was indeed an experienced Taoist. He sent four subordinates to follow him, and obviously he could not trust Xu Zun and the other two.
After all, they just came to the house to investigate with a document. Who can guarantee that the two of them are real people?
...
drive……
Xu Zun had never ridden a horse before, but now he is riding very smoothly because of the host's own skills.
Especially after leaving the city, they rushed and rushed westward.
"Sir," one of the guards immediately introduced to Xu Zun, "This Huguo Temple has been abandoned for decades! Just in the plum blossom forest in the western suburbs outside the city, there were always ominous signs coming out, so residents in the city rarely go to that place..."
"An ominous sign?" Xu Zun asked, "What an ominous sign?"
"Actually we don't know," said the guard, "it probably is all rumor? It's said that anyone who goes there will be bad luck. To put it bluntly, it's just a gimmick of the dispute between Buddhism and Taoism!"
Daxuan respects the Tao, Tangzhou admires Buddha.
Therefore, when the two conflict, there will be many belittlements and rumors of philosophies.
In the small places in Xinye County, they still maintain their past habits, but in the developed city of Shangyuan City, it has gradually been naturalized by the imperial court.
Therefore, there are more and more Taoist temples in Shangyuan City, but there are only a handful of temples.
"Oh my God, how can we catch up with anything?" Zhao Yu on the other side still looked bitter and revengeful. "The female corpse in a cassock? We have just experienced a Taoist priest lying in an iron coffin from Xinye County. Alas, God bless you, God bless you, but you must not be Miss Lu..."
In less than half an hour, Xu Zun and others rushed to the plum blossom forest.
However, most of the plum trees have died, and there is no scene of plum blossoms in full bloom, but it looks even more desolate and dilapidated.
“Well…”
Shortly after they rushed into Meilin, they saw a large group of people appearing in front of them!
Among them were officials wearing government offices, officers and soldiers wearing armor, as well as constables, yamen runners and other people of all kinds.
When he saw Xu Zun and others, a team of soldiers immediately stepped forward to stop him.
However, before the soldiers spoke, some people in the crowd recognized the guards of the Marquis' Mansion.
After the two sides reported and expressed their intention, the soldiers put Xu Zun and others in.
The broken bricks and tiles and broken walls in front of me are indeed an abandoned temple.
This temple is really dilapidated, with almost no complete building except for a few pagodas.
When Xu Zun and others entered, another group of people came towards us from the depths of the temple.
This time, Xu Zun finally saw an acquaintance, including Li Yan, the governor of Tangzhou, Taimin, the governor of Shangyuan County, and the third son of the Shen family, and Shen Xinglian, the captain of Jingwu...
However, these senior officials were not in position C. In the position where the stars were holding the moon, there was a middle-aged man wearing an indigo blue robe and a jade-inlaid silver crown.
Needless to say, this person must be the Changping Hou Lu Jinlong!
With just one glance, Xu Zun caught a major discovery, but when he saw the marquis who had just walked out of the temple, there was no sadness on his face, but he still had his eyebrows tightly and his expression was solemn.
oh?
Xu Zun felt a little relieved. It seemed that the female corpse inside was not Miss Lu?
