Just now we learned that people from the county government had arrived at the foot of the mountain. Taoist priest Tan Hua didn't know what to expect and sensed something was wrong, so he deliberately left more than ten direct disciples in the temple to take care of the matters he had told him.
It's been such a long time, it's almost time to think about it.
With this idea in mind, Taoist Master Tan Hua stood up and said with confidence, "What should you do if you can't find any evidence in the temple?"
"As you wish."
Chu Nanzhi replied decisively.
Seeing that she was so sure, Taoist Priest Tan Hua smiled sinisterly and waved his hand, signaling the Taoist priests to get out of the way: "Okay, let them go in and search. I want to see what they can find out today."
After saying that, he scanned the crowd again and said angrily: "If I can't find a reason today, I will personally go to Jingling City and let His Majesty punish you for your crimes."
Hearing this, Hu Maoxi muttered behind Chu Nanzhi in fear: "Ms. Chu, are you absolutely sure?"
"Sir, it's too late to say anything at this time."
Chu Nanzhi tilted her head and reminded in a low voice: "Your Majesty was so powerful and domineering just now. The women of the country were all in awe when they looked at you. If no evidence can be found, I'm afraid the eldest princess will have to invite you to kneel down and drink tea in the temple.
"
Hu Maoxi was stunned when he heard that. Thinking of his words and deeds just now, his chest was turbulent and ups and downs. He secretly stroked his chest, and then calmly called out to the officials behind him again: "Enter the meditation."
Then he personally led dozens of people and hurriedly rushed towards the temple.
Lin Luochu and Taoist Master Tan Hua followed closely behind with their disciples from the temple and several groups of soldiers.
A group of people had their own thoughts and went straight to the back garden of the Golden Palace hoping to get lucky.
When we got there, we saw a group of little Taoist priests holding hoes and sickles, hurriedly trying to destroy the blooming Gelsemium flowers.
Taoist Master Tan Hua was furious. He didn't expect that it would take so long for these losers to start working on what he had told them to do. He clenched his fists and yelled at the little Taoist priests: "What are you doing?"
Hearing the roar, a little Taoist priest rubbed the back of his head in confusion and replied: "Master, didn't you ask us to hoe away the miscellaneous flowers in this garden?"
Another young Taoist priest also had a sad face, and then said: "Just now, a disciple bullied two young ladies in the garden. The disciples were so angry that they started fighting with the disciple. But later, the disciple
The disciples came with accomplices, and finally let them escape."
After speaking, the little Taoist priests looked around and saw Chu Nanzhi and Xiaofen in the crowd. They all shouted in surprise: "Hey, aren't these two young ladies who were bullied just now? Why are you back again?"
?”
Upon hearing this, Taoist Master Tan Hua immediately made a long face and glared at Chu Nanzhi angrily: "How did you get in?"
"No need to ask, Taoist Priest, how I came in."
Chu Nanzhi walked to the group of little Taoist priests, picked up a few Gelsemium plants that they had cut, and brought them to Hu Maoxi along with the vines. She said with a meaningful smile: "How can you hoe such beautiful flowers in full bloom?"
What a pity.”
The little Taoist priests who were weeding didn't understand why, but someone with knowledge stood up and sighed carelessly:
"My lady, I don't know. Although this flower is rare, it is also highly poisonous. I heard from Master that someone died after mistakenly taking this flower for honeysuckle and accidentally ate it. That's why we asked us to remove this flower to prevent it from happening again."
Someone was harmed."
"Oh I got it."
Chu Nanzhi pretended to be suddenly enlightened and nodded, looking at the angry Taoist Tan Hua and his group of stupid disciples with a smile, thinking: Your master didn't tell you the true intention of getting rid of the poisonous flowers.
Her eyes turned back to Hu Maoxi, and she said solemnly: "Sir, please take a look and see if this thing is consistent with the poisonous flowers seen in the county government office?"
Hu Maoxi and Sun Wucai each took a Gelsemium flower and looked at it carefully. After a while, they both agreed: "It is indeed true. It looks quite like honeysuckle."
Chu Nanzhi added: "The civilian woman has inquired carefully. The poisonous flowers in Shen Yang's tea bag were picked by the mother of the Shen family that day and put in."
After hearing this, Xiaofen quickly agreed: "I don't dare to lie to you. It's exactly what my sister said."
Hu Maoxi suddenly understood, but he still had some doubts in his heart. He stared at the Gelsemium flower in his hand with a heavy gaze: "But since it was the Han family, why did the eldest princess and Taoist Tan Hua bother to stop us from entering to search for evidence?" ?”
"That's a good question, sir."
Chu Nanzhi brought the Gelsemium flower to Taoist Priest Tanhua and asked casually: "The Nu family would also like to hear Taoist Priest's explanation as to why he encouraged the eldest princess to prevent government officials from entering the temple, and it was such an unlucky coincidence. Are you planning to hoe these poisonous flowers before I enter the temple?"
"You woman, don't even think about slandering the poor."
Taoist priest Tan Hua sneered coldly: "What does this matter about the mistress of the Shen family have to do with Pindao?"
"I didn't want to make false accusations against the Taoist priest."
Chu Nanzhi raised her eyebrows and calmly changed the subject: "But since the Taoist Priest made such an ardent request and insisted on forcibly involving himself and the Shen family's mistress, I dare not dissatisfy the Taoist Priest's request. It’s a request, but I’m afraid I’ll have to trouble the Taoist priest to confront her on the spot.”
Since they are motivated by profit, they will inevitably bite each other in the face of great difficulties.
Looking at Taoist Tan Hua, whose face gradually darkened and fell into silence, Chu Nanzhi continued: "The Nu family has always had a doubt before, and was deeply confused by this doubt. Now that the evidence is conclusive, I am afraid it will be difficult for the Han family. Escape from the law, as for the Taoist priest, after much thought, the Nu family realized that it was nothing more than using people's money to eliminate disasters for others, and this was made clear after the confrontation in court."
At the beginning of the case, although she had doubts about Han, she had been struggling to guess the motive of her murder and neglected to find evidence.
Later, after being inspired by the case in Zhao Taigong's house, I realized that it was not impossible to find evidence first and then find the motive for the murder.
Quietly looking at Lin Luochu who was helpless, she couldn't help but sneer at the corner of her mouth: "How about it, eldest princess, do you want to continue to protect your highly respected master?"
Listening to these questions, Lin Luochu's face became more and more embarrassed.
But after pondering for a long time, her face suddenly tightened, her eyes revealed a fierce light, she glared at Hu Maoxi, and her words and behavior became extremely crazy: "So what if this matter has something to do with my master, let alone a mere businessman. , Hu Maoxi, even if you die today, I will still not be afraid. This Nanhua Temple cannot tolerate young people like you running wild here."
Hu Maoxi was so frightened that his heart trembled, and he quickly explained with a stiff face and a cry: "Eldest Princess, I am lowering my rank."
Before he could say anything, he was blocked by Lin Luochu: "Since this case is the fault of the Shen family's mistress, just let her be brought to justice. Why bother talking nonsense about my master again? I, the princess, will not hold you accountable for trespassing." You should not be too presumptuous about the crime of looking at the palace."
"this"
Hu Maoxi seemed very embarrassed.
Chu Nanzhi did not expect that the eldest princess would be so overbearing and domineering.
In her memory, ordinary people still have some love for the king who is currently in court, and he should be a benevolent and righteous king. She never thought that there is such a figure thousands of miles away from the court.
It’s just that the law is ungrateful and those who do evil deeds should be punished.
She pursed her lips tightly and moved closer to Lin Luochu step by step in full view of everyone. Her expression suddenly became serious:
"The Dahe Empire has been in existence for more than six hundred years. The kings of all dynasties have always governed the country with laws and the world with benevolence and righteousness. The eldest princess just said these words. It is unkind to treat human life like a piece of grass. It is unjust to disrespect the imperial officials. I know that you
Master is involved in crimes but has partiality in his mind to blaspheme the law. All rules and regulations are in vain to take into account the laws of the country and the foundation of the country. I wonder how the eldest princess can convince the people of the imperial court in the future?"
"You don't have to be so glib."
Lin Luochu didn't bother to listen to her theory. He grabbed a sword from the side and held it in his hand. He pointed at her and shouted loudly: "Where did you come from, a village woman who doesn't know how high the sky is? If you dare to take another step forward, I will be the first to behead you."
It's you, don't think that you can confuse people with your clever words. Killing you today is like killing an ant. Let me see who dares to cry out for your injustice."
There was no fear on Chu Nanzhi's face, and she pressed forward step by step.
Hu Maoxi was so frightened that cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He quickly walked up and whispered: "Ms. Chu, don't come by force. We are outnumbered."
"The county magistrate is aware of current affairs."
Taoist priest Tan Hua snorted disdainfully and waved his hand impatiently towards Chu Nanzhi: "Get out of here quickly. If a woman, a Taoist, can't take care of her husband and raise her children at home, why would she cause trouble by being in the public eye all day long? I'm a poor Taoist.
How can a cultivator have anything to do with the secular world?"
