Chapter Fourteen

Watching Xu Shujing leave, Wu Qi shook his head secretly.

This man was eyeing him for some reason.

From Pu'an to Shu County, Xu Shujing insisted that he was a good arrester who had entered the Taoist sect and wanted to transfer himself to be his deputy...

"It seems you didn't have a good deal?"

Elder Yan hugged a big bucket, which contained the washed clothes and bed sheets.

There are no chores in Fuyun Temple, and you have to do your own food, clothing, housing and transportation. Now that people are getting more and more busy, Elder Yan not only has to take care of himself, but also has to deal with all kinds of cumbersome debris in Fuyun Tower.

He shook the sheets, Wu Qi went over to help, and the two of them hung the washed sheets, clothes, mattresses, curtains and covers on the ropes.

"Mr. Xu wants me to help him solve the case."

"Solve the case?"

Elder Yan wiped his face with a handkerchief: "Is it the case that Wang Meng was stabbed?"

"Yes."

A major case has recently occurred in Shu County. Wang Meng, the boss of the horse gang in Xicheng City, was stabbed to death by a beggar in the alley. The beggar was crazy and suspected of being ordered to commit murder. The biggest beneficiary was Wang Meng's brother Tietou, who was also the second largest figure in the horse gang.

This incident caused a lot of controversy, and due to rumors outside, Tietou and Wang Meng's wife Lin had a long-term secret meeting. The inappropriate and sexual intercourse were involved in the murder of the gang, which made the people of Shu County even talk about it even more.

The government is concerned about this case. In addition to the extremely bad crimes committed in the street, it also considers the stability of the county and surrounding neighboring counties.

The horse gang is away and often deals with all the religions and is very brave. If Wang Meng dies, if the case cannot be solved as soon as possible, it may turn into a fierce battle between the gang for the position of boss, and more trouble will be caused by the time.

Xu Shujing was quickly transferred from Pu'an, and his first mission was to solve the Wang Meng case in a limited time. Then he hurried to Fuyun Temple to visit Wu Qi, hoping that he would come out to help.

In order to persuade Wu Qi, Xu Shujing also promised to recommend Wu Qi as the clerk of Jianyouwei.

The Sheren was an official position in ancient Han Dynasty, namely the guests of each palace. Now the Tang Dynasty set up a special position in the Sheren for monks of the three religions, namely the cultivators specially hired by the court to work for the governments of various departments.

All the Jianyouwei departments have sects and are well-fed. Although they are not as good as the major Buddhist sects, they are much better than third-rate sects like Fuyun Temple.

Wu Qi declined on the spot.

He is a Taoist monk, and it takes time and effort to investigate cases, which hinders the path of practice.

Furthermore, if you work for the court with full-time jobs, it is difficult to be free to act. If you have a picture of impermanence, this secret cannot be revealed. Joining the Jianyouwei means you feel that you are living too comfortable.

"It's not necessarily a bad thing if you don't go."

Elder Yan picked up the pottery teapot and sipped: "When I was young, some fellow Taoists who I knew became members of the imperial court. Although the treatment of the servants was good, they were very busy. There were many business trips through mountains and rivers. Many servants finally jumped out and would rather join some small sects..."

Wu Qi took the opportunity to ask: "Elder, you are the same. Will you join Fuyun Temple in the end?"

He has always been very curious about this fat elder.

Elder Yan beat him up: "It's all old past events... If you are interested, you can ask him when the audience comes out of seclusion."

He brought the teapot and walked slowly into the Fuyun Tower.

Wu Qi glanced at the top floor, where the viewer Wu Daoji was in seclusion.

I don’t know how long it takes for my grandfather to come out of seclusion.

After leaving the palace, I saw that there were only five Qi Refining disciples left in the Taoist temple, and I didn’t know what he should think.

Will Fuyun Temple be completely disbanded?

Wu Qi shook his head, this was not something he should consider.

In the afternoon, he went to Dong Temple to meditate and practice Qi as usual. The incense guest did not appear, but the cultivation level given by the Three Pure Land statues for several days was better than nothing.

The sky was getting darker and Wu Qi was about to leave, but Chen Gao came.

"Junior brother, you are indeed here."

Chen Gao was exhausted and wiped his sleeves against his face and sweated: "Junior brother, come with me to Jianzhou. There is a job that you must do."

"Senior brother, don't be anxious, please speak slowly."

Wu Qi handed him the water bag.

Chen Gao drank half of his stomach water and his breathing gradually stabilized. Then he talked about his experience.

A while ago, the demon cultivator in Jianzhou caused trouble, and the merchants were in panic and looked for Taoist monks to do the tricks.

Businessmen value luck and signs.

It is better to believe that it exists than to believe that it does not exist.

Chen Gao did two rituals, but the employers were all small merchants and their rewards were thin.

At this time, the Jianzhou government posted an announcement saying that the demon cultivator had been arrested by the Jianyouwei and that there was no need to worry about pacifying the people of this state, and that all matters would remain the same.

Chen Gao knew there was no chance and was about to return, but he accidentally found something.

Zhang Yi, a county magistrate of Zitong County, Jianzhou, had a strange thing at home and was seeking help from monks of several major Buddhist sects.

The closest to Zitong County is Qingcheng Mountain Changdao Temple and Emei Mountain Puxian Temple. The journey is not short, and one round trip is even more time-consuming and labor-intensive.

So Chen Gao recommended himself and visited Zhang County Wei with a certificate of tribute, and carried out the title of Yujian Pavilion in Shushan.

The name of Fuyun Temple is unknown, but Yujian Pavilion was once famous in Yizhou, leaving behind some stories and rumors.

Zhang Yi told Chen Gao about what happened to him.

He was from Hedong and was transferred to Jianzhou by the court to serve as a county magistrate for many years. After his wife died early, Zhang Yi never reunited. He had two daughters under his knees. The eldest daughter Yue Niang died of illness a few years ago, the remaining young girl Wan Niang and another nephew Wang Fang.

Wang Fang originally lived in Laizhou, but because of his family's destruction, he joined his uncle Zhang Yi. He studied hard in Zitong County only to pass the imperial examination.

Zhang Yi admired his nephew very smart and wise. He once told Wang Fang that when you get to the exam, you will marry Wan Niang to you as your wife.

In a few years, Wang Fang failed the exam many times, and Wan Niang grew up day by day, and Zhang Yi began to reconsider his daughter's marriage.

At this time, Xue Jian, the director of the army, brought his nephew Ma Ji to propose marriage. When Zhang Yi saw that Ma Ji was elegant and elegant, he agreed to the marriage.

In a fit of anger, Wang Fang left Shu and went to Beijing, leaving a letter.

The letter reads: "...Thirty years from Hedong, thirty years from Hexi, don't bully the young man's poor!"

Shortly after Wang Fang left, Wanniang fell into a coma. After being cared for by a famous doctor for a year, she slowly recovered.

Four years later, Wang Fang returned to Jianzhou to visit his uncle Zhang Yi.

Although he has not yet passed the Jinshi exam, he already has a wife. What's more bizarre is that Wang Fang's wife looks exactly the same as Wanniang and claims that she is Wanniang.

Zhang Yi was shocked.

Wanniang clearly lives with Ma Ji. After four years, the couple is in love and respect each other. How could another Wanniang appear?

There is no doubt that one of the two Wan Niangs is lying, and the fake Wan Niang must be transformed by a demon.

Zhang Yi wanted to invite a master to break up the strange case of this family.

Chen Gao was okay in doing ordinary rituals, but he had no experience in fighting wits and courage with demons. Wu Qi was calm and decisive when dealing with the soul car and the Trojan horse. Even Xu Shujing praised Youjia, so Chen Gao came back to bring reinforcements to find his junior brother.

"Two exactly the same Wanniang?" Wu Qi asked, "Are they all living people?"

"no."

Chen Gao shook his head: "The one who follows Wang Fang is a ghost, and the one who stays in Jianzhou is a living person."

Wu Qi frowned: "Life and soul?"

"It looks like that. But if the one who walked with Wang Fang was Zhen Wanniang, the one in Jianzhou didn't look like a evil spirit, and there was no strange sign, which was no different from a normal person."

"Han Xiangjing responded to both Wan Niangs, which means that they were all demons, but if they were not the real Wan Niang, then where was Wan Niang..."

Chen Gao scratched his head: "I really can't figure it out, so I can only ask you, Junior Brother."

"Also, this county magistrate Zhang is very generous. He said that if he could tell the difference between real and fake, he would be willing to pay ten taels of silver as a reward! Junior brother, that would be ten taels of silver! Ordinary people can save so much for two years without eating or drinking."

He made nine gestures: "You, my brothers and sisters will be 19 points, you, you, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I?"

"One word is determined."

Wu Qi responded.

Compared to the Jianyouwei Sheren, it is more suitable for you to be a bounty Taoist.
