When Su Yizhao arrived, a hall had already been raised outside the Discipline Pavilion.
Li Tuiguan sat high up at the head, Jie Hui sat at the lower head on the left, and there were several monks standing next to them. With their muscular appearance, one could tell at a glance that they were warrior monks.
Kneeling under the hall was not only Yang Shan, but also his own servant Fang.
Su Yizhao's heart sank, "This matter is said to be related to Shi Fang, but at present Shi Fang is not strictly considered a major suspect.
Ultimately, it was because of his status as a servant, a personal servant, and his master's status was also very ordinary.
When the waiter saw Su Yizhao coming, he immediately shouted anxiously, "Master!"
Su Yizhao nodded towards him to express comfort.
"Jiangcai has inquired with the monks in the temple. As far as they know, the last person Jingshu saw was your attendant."
"But he just told the villain that the temple was going to be closed. He stayed for less than half a quarter of an hour and then left..."
The waiter was so anxious that he quickly explained that he really didn't look at the almanac when he went out, and this matter really had nothing to do with him!
As he spoke, Li Tuiguan opened the confession paper in his hand and carefully looked at the confession just made by the attendant.
"You have been in the temple since Chen Shizheng and opened a wing. After you went to burn incense in the morning, you stayed in the wing until the evening when the little master Jingshu came to remind you. You never left the door even at noon.
All meals are served in the room. I want to ask you, why did you come to Fayuan Temple?"
Li Tuiguan's eyes were so sharp that the waiter was so frightened that his heart and courage trembled.
"Also, all the guests in that wing have left long ago, and you are the only one left. This is indeed suspicious." Mr. Li frowned.
"Sir! Please allow the student to explain something to the waiter." Su Yizhao said quickly.
Seeing that Su Yizhao had intervened, Li Tuiguan was willing to give him some mercy.
"Say it!" Li Tuiguan's expression immediately softened and he said gently.
"The attendant was called to the temple by a student. My mother was slightly ill, and as a human being, she was very worried. I heard that today there was a senior monk in Fayuan Temple who was going to give lectures and recite Dharma, and would also select lucky people to give talismans, so the student wanted to try it.
Give it a try."
After Su Yizhao finished speaking, he stood beside Shi Fang with a firm attitude.
"You do have a filial piety, but why haven't I seen you all day?" Li Tuiguan asked doubtfully.
"A few days ago, I heard that there is muzi grass growing in the mountains, which can relieve headaches. However, this grass grows in the deep mountains and is very rare. It is not sold in the market for a while, so the student wanted to try his luck. That's it.
Because of this, I was delayed for some time, but unfortunately I couldn't find it in the end."
It's not that Su Yizhao was just making up lies at this time, Tang's family did have a headache, and Mu Zicao was also a real thing.
Su Yizhao also paid attention to muzicao after going to the mountains, but unfortunately he did not find it.
"Not found?" Li Tuiguan glanced at Su Yizhao suspiciously, "Is there any evidence?"
"Yes! The student called for an ox cart, and the old man squatted at the foot of the wall outside the imperial city every day. You only need to ask who has been to Chushan this morning."
Su Yizhao paused and then said: "I also met Prince Nanyang and his party in the mountains. They went up to the mountains to hunt, and they also encountered a pack of wolves."
Li Tuiguan's eyes immediately widened. Isn't Prince Nanyang a sick man? Why did he still go hunting in the mountains? He thought for a moment and planned to ask questions later.
"Did the waiter hear anything in the wing? Two people were killed outside your courtyard. You should have heard something, right?" Li Tuiguan continued to ask.
The waiter shook his head in confusion, "I really didn't hear any sound. In fact, I fell asleep while waiting for the young master for a long time. When Master Jingshu came to remind me, I woke up not long ago."
"Why didn't you tell me earlier? But even so, you can't escape suspicion now."
Li Tuiguan snorted coldly. He didn't talk about such an important thing until now.
Su Yizhao didn't know whether to laugh or cry when he heard this. This waiter is really good at delaying things.
"If that's the case, it's understandable that I didn't hear any movement."
Su Yizhao sighed, but she suddenly remembered that there was a small courtyard on the right side of the wing where the servant was. The well was on the servant's side, but there was a small courtyard in the middle with a door on the wall.
Because the tree fell to the left, everyone focused on the courtyard where the servant was.
"Master Jie Ai, isn't there a small courtyard on the right side of the well? It should be convenient to get to the well from there, right?" Su Yizhao asked Xiang Jie Ai.
Jie shook his head angrily, "The courtyard has been abandoned. No one lives in it. The big lock on the courtyard door has never been opened and is already rusty."
"Is there such a place in the temple? If so, it's hard to tell if someone is hiding in the courtyard."
Everyone here understood what Su Yizhao meant, but Jiehe said firmly: "The poor monk has looked at the lock, but it has not been touched. We have strict rules in this courtyard, and no one is allowed to enter!"
It seems that Fayuan Temple also has secrets! Su Yizhao cursed in his heart.
"Just because the door lock is not unlocked, it doesn't mean that no one came out! Send someone to the yard to check and you will know." Su Yizhao still felt that Jingshu and Feng Cuicui had something to do with that yard.
The well was actually not far from the courtyard where Shi Fang was, so it was impossible for Shi Fang not to hear any movement.
Jie Ai's face suddenly turned evil, "No one is allowed to enter the courtyard. This is the rule of the temple. There are people guarding the outside of the courtyard, how can others enter?"
Su Yizhao was surprised by Ji's angry attitude. Human life is at stake. Rules are dead but people are alive! Unless there is some ulterior secret there.
"Hey! We'll talk about this later. It's better to find the murderer first. No one can enter the yard anyway. Although the well is outside the yard, it is surrounded by fences. The murderer must have entered from the side room when he committed the crime."
Seeing that the two of them were about to argue, Li Tuiguan quickly changed the subject.
The well is said to be outside the courtyard, but it is actually in the right corner of the wing courtyard.
There was a gap in the corner on that side and it was surrounded by a fence. Jie Hui explained that this was done for the safety of pilgrims.
Some pilgrims brought their children over. The well was originally shared by several courtyards, but later there were always children who were curious and wanted to play there, so the temple built a fence around it.
Only the fence on the side of the wing is not enclosed, which is to facilitate the temple to get water.
"The waiter was the only one in the wing at that time, so the waiter was really suspicious." Li Guan thought for a moment and said.
Shi Fang suddenly turned pale. He and Jingshu just met each other and only exchanged a few words. How could he become a murderer?
Yang Shan listened for a long time. These people only talked about the dead monk. What about his wife?
"Where is the wife of the grass-roots people? How did she die? Could it be that he killed her too? He was the only one there at the time, and he must have seen my wife's beauty, so he had thoughts that he shouldn't have. If my wife didn't obey, he would kill her.
kill."
Yang Shan felt more and more suspicious of Shi Fang. There was no need for the monks in the temple to kill people. The lady was still dead outside Shi Fang's yard. Who else could he be if he wasn't Shi Fang?
After saying that, he turned around and grabbed Shi Fang's neck, "Tell me! Did you kill my wife? Was it you?"
They were shocked when they arrived. Yang Shan's scarlet eyes made them stunned.
The waiter struggled hard and his face turned red. Although he was strong, he was too young, so how could he compare to the strong butcher?
"It must be you! Look at how young you are, but I didn't expect that you would dare to miss my wife with all your bad intentions!"
