"What happens after that, will all of you climb the tower?" He Fang continued.
"Sir, it won't happen. Only the host will take the three senior brothers to the pagoda to place the Buddha treasures. Then the host will come down to attend the banquet, and the three senior brothers will not come down with the Buddha treasures until after the banquet. And we
A few of them have been guarding the door," the monk replied.
"Those three who climbed the tower, please stand up," He Fang said.
"Sir, the three senior brothers... they... are not here..."
"Not there? Didn't I ask everyone who was here yesterday to come over? Are they blatantly disobeying the third princess's order?" He Fang said angrily.
"No, sir, the three senior brothers can't come..."
"can not come?"
"Yes, because they were all frightened crazy yesterday..."
"crazy?!"
Hearing the news, He Fang was immediately shocked, wondering if the clues were just cut off?
"Tell me the story of how you discovered those three people were crazy, word for word. Remember, it's word for word."
"Yes, sir..."
The monk continued: "...When the monster first appeared last night, although we were all scared, no one escaped and we stayed here the whole time."
"Later, after the monster disappeared, a loud roar suddenly came from the tower, so all of us rushed into the tower immediately. When we climbed to the upper level, we found that the three senior brothers had been frightened crazy. Buddha treasure
Gone too."
"Well, what happens next?" He Fang said.
"Then? It's gone..."
"No more? Then where are the three of them now?"
"The abbot was afraid that they would run around, so he locked them up in the monk's dormitory."
So, He Fang and Di Erya came to the monk's house again and saw the three monks.
At this time, their eyes were crooked, their mouths were crooked, and they were drooling. They were singing and dancing, and the other young monks couldn't hold them back.
He Fang was dumbfounded and asked again: "Have you seen a doctor?"
"Sir, I went to see the doctor, but the doctor said... alas..."
The little monk shook his head.
Damn it, no way, this clue is really cut off like this, it seems that we have to find a way to cure their madness first.
For some reason, He Fang suddenly thought of Yu Jihong again, and her skillful way of treating his head injury. It was really unforgettable, but it was a pity that he had to wait a year to see her again.
"Master, I would like to ask you to do a favor," He Fang said to Di Erya.
"Whatever you say, as long as it is related to solving a case, I will accept it."
"Thank you, Master. I want the imperial doctor from the palace to come and check on these three people."
Di Erya glanced at the three crazy monks and understood what He Fang meant, so she immediately sent people back to the palace to ask the imperial doctor Sai Huatuo.
After about an hour, Sai Hua Tuo brought a young apprentice who was very fair and tender to Foguang Temple.
"Your Majesty, Sai Hua Tuo, pays your respects to the third princess." Sai Hua Tuo brought his young apprentice to salute Di Erya.
"Excuse me, Mr. Sai. Please see if these three monks can be cured of their madness. If you can cure them, I will be richly rewarded," Diriyah said.
"I obey, Third Princess, I understand."
Sai Huatuo took his young apprentice to treat three monks, but He Fang's eyes never left the young apprentice he brought. Maybe others couldn't see it, but they couldn't escape He Fang's countless wise eyes.
, he could tell at a glance that this young apprentice was actually a woman disguised as a man, and her appearance was definitely extraordinary, but the clothes she wore were very loose, and it was not clear what her figure was for the moment.
Is it very popular for women to disguise themselves as men in Dai Viet? There was the empress Di Yanjun before, and now there is this little apprentice of the imperial doctor. But no matter what, He Fang knows that he has another target.
Saihua Tuo asked the three crazy monks to check his pulse and open his eyelids to check his eyeballs. After struggling for a long time, he finally came over and reported to Di Erya:
"Third Princess, the situation of these three people is not optimistic."
"Not optimistic? Can you cure them?" Diriyah replied.
"Xiaoguan can only say that he will do his best, but he said that he will cure them, but he dare not make such a guarantee."
Hearing Saihua Tuo's words, Di Erya and He Fang felt a chill in their hearts. They both knew what it meant.
"By the way, Third Princess, I also discovered something," Sai Huatuo said.
"What's up?"
"Princess, when I just checked these three people, I found that they were not crazy because of fear, but because they were poisoned. However, I still couldn't figure out what kind of poison they were poisoned."
"Poisoned——!?"
He Fang was very surprised. It seemed that this matter was really not simple.
"Okay, Lord Sai, I'll leave them to you. If there is any progress, remember to report it to me in time," Diriya said helplessly.
"I obey my orders."
Di Erya and He Fang saw that there was nothing to check here for the time being, so they prepared to return to the palace first.
When he was about to leave, the soldier who asked before suddenly came over again and said to He Fang:
"Sir, I just suddenly thought of a small thing, but I don't know if it has anything to do with this case."
"What's the matter, tell me," He Fang said.
"Sir, the little one's nose has been sharper than the average person since he was a child. When the accident happened yesterday, we all rushed to the pagoda, and then the little one smelled a smell like burned cloth or something."
"Why does it smell like burned cloth? You can't smell it wrong, right?"
"My lord, I can't. Moreover, I felt something strange in my heart at that time, so I paid more attention and looked around, but I really didn't find anything burned."
On the way back, both Diriyah and He Fang had sad expressions on their faces.
Today's investigation did not actually yield anything, but there seemed to be no connection between these suspicious points. More importantly, the most important witnesses were all crazy, and the case seemed to have reached a deadlock.
He Fang had a headache thinking about it. Although Di Erya was confused from beginning to end, she saw He Fang's depressed expression and understood that there was almost no progress in the matter, so she also looked depressed.
When they returned to the palace, it was already dark. Diriya had a few mouthfuls of food, and then went to play with the jade lion in order to relax.
He Fang didn't have much appetite. He returned to his room and lay on the bed, thinking about the suspicious places he found during the day.
"Burned pieces of paper, strings tied to the windows, food residues under the stairs, the smell of burned cloth, and three monks who were drugged and went crazy..."
