When Zhao Ran saw this last letter, he was very surprised. According to what the letter said, Wan Niang turned out to be Meng Yanzhen's concubine, and Meng Yanzhen died at the hands of Wang Ruoyu and his gang. Forget it, in Song Dynasty last year
The time when Fan met these people roughly matched, so this matter is very likely to be true!
The evidence that was also searched included a pair of embroidered shoes worn by Wan Niang. These shoes were hidden by the maid because they were embroidered with four pearls and were kept as a means of transportation when the maid planned to escape.
The case has become clearer now. Zhao Ran is flying Fu Dongfang Li and is waiting for his arrival. The capital is mobilizing people overnight to arrest the owner of Jinjiang Villa - if he tries to silence him, the owner of the Villa will not be able to escape.
relationship.
By the time Dongfang Li arrived, Bieye's owner had already confessed, and Wanniang had indeed been silenced. Dongfang Li and Zhao Ran personally led the team to dig, and found Bieye's house on a barren mountain by the river more than three miles away.
The owner pointed to a pine and cypress tree and said, "The bones are buried under the tree. They are just burned to ashes. I'm afraid they cannot be identified."
One of the patrolmen gave him a slap on the back of the head, knocking him to the ground and knocking him to the ground. Along with the two helpers and his confidants, they all knelt next to them with their heads in their hands. The others began to dig a hole. Not long after digging, they saw a touch of green underneath.
, but it is the sleeve corner of a green satin.
Dongfang Li stopped everyone, flicked his fingers, and a whirlwind was generated in the pit, blowing away the soil covering it layer by layer...
There were piles of silk and satin worn by women, jewelry boxes, shoes, socks, sweat towels and other sundries in the pit. There was even a pipa at the bottom of the pit, but Wan Niang's burned skeleton was not seen.
The owner of Bieye looked straight at everything in the pit and screamed: "Ghosts! There are ghosts! I obviously looked at the burned ones, and they were burned to ashes...Ghosts!" While shouting, he was peeing.
He crawled out, but was kicked and kicked by several patrolmen and forced him back. The two servants were so frightened that they collapsed on the ground, and the smell of urine came from their crotches.
Dongfang Li and Zhao Ran looked at each other and felt strange. Judging from the behavior of the merchant and the two servants, they should not be pretending to be crazy or acting stupid. This also means that there is something wrong with Wan Niang, or there may be something wrong with Wan Niang's death.
Weird.
Dongfang Li asked these secular patrols to retreat, and went out with Zhang Wei Dao Talisman. The Wei Dao Talisman sent out bursts of spiritual power fluctuations, spreading in all directions, but did not find anything strange.
After pondering for a moment, Dongfang Li played three defensive talismans to form a detection talisman array, and expanded the search width to dozens of feet around, but still found no trace of the use of spiritual power.
Looking up at Zhao Ran, Zhao Ran also shook his head. He had just opened his heavenly eyes and was looking for abnormalities in the flow of qi in the nearby heaven and earth, but he also found nothing.
The two of them walked around the area carefully, but still found nothing unusual, so they gave up the search with suspicion.
The disappearance of Wan Niang's skeleton and the fact that the relics that were supposed to be burned remained intact are a huge mystery. What happened in the middle may be difficult to find out unless Wan Niang appears again.
The purpose of Sanqing Pavilion's search for Wanniang was to trace the clues to the Shangsan Palace. Although Wanniang, the main party involved, was suspected of being dead, it did not hinder the achievement of the goal - because Wang Shouyu and others were already involved in the case.
Therefore, after communicating with Zhuo Yunfeng Feifu, Dongfang Li decided to suppress this mysterious incident for the time being and arrest Ye Yunxuan first.
In order to prevent unforeseen twists and turns, several patrols began to use methods against the master of Ye Ye and his two servants to ensure that they all gave a unified confession: Wan Niang's body was scattered into the Jinjiang River.
At this point, the evidence is sufficient to arrest Ye Yunxuan.
At that time, the troops were divided into two groups. Dongfang Li summoned Dongfang Jing and others who were familiar with Meng Yanzhen to go to Yangshan Academy. Zhao Ran returned to Jingshou Palace and joined Du Tenghui, Lu Tengen and Bai Tengming who were waiting here.
After briefly explaining the excavation situation, several people were immediately excited. At that moment, Bai Tengming retreated to Long'an Mansion to wait for news. Lu Tengen sent men to surround Ye Yunxuan's residence at the foot of Qingcheng Mountain. Du Tenghui and Zhao Ran went up the mountain to arrest people.
There was a long queue at the entrance of Xuanyuan Temple early in the morning. Just like in the past, male and female believers received the incense and waited to go in to pray for blessings or to pay their respects and return their wishes.
In the reception area of the guest hall, dozens of Taoist priests and officials had already sent greeting cards, waiting for the summons of the Taoists inside.
No one knows that today is a big day.
Xue Tengqian had been waiting in the living room early and said to Zhao Ran: "The Yunlou Supervisor is waiting in the study. Ye Yunxuan has not left. He is discussing matters with Yue Tengzhong. I am looking for someone to watch. I can't run away. Yesterday, his family brother went up the mountain and was captured by me.
, locked in the square hall."
Zhao Ran nodded and asked, "What did the Yunlou Prison say?"
Xue Tengqian said: "I was very surprised, or a little surprised, but I didn't say anything more. I just waited for you to report the case."
Zhao Yunlou was already waiting impatiently. He had been waiting at the moon gate of the prison building, looking at the path going down the mountain, waiting for Zhao Ran and others to appear. After meeting Zhao Ran and Du Tenghui, he let them into the room.
, regardless of the pleasantries, let them get straight to the point.
Zhao Ran said: "Yunlou Prison, this case was originally a case of Shangguan Sanqing Pavilion. Dongfang Li, the master of the West Hall of Sanqing Pavilion, was ordered to go to Sichuan to investigate. Logically speaking, he should be the one to talk to the prison today, but because the matter involves Yang
Meng Yanzhen, a casual cultivator from Shan Academy, Dongfang Li has already rushed over, so he asked me to come and report to the prison."
The meaning of these words is to tell Zhao Yunlou that it is not him, Zhao Ran, who makes the decision to investigate and handle the case without authorization, but the Sanqing Pavilion's explanation. He, Zhao Ran, is not only the governor of Tianhe Palace, but also the Taoist leader of Zongsheng Hall, so he obeys the order.
Handling cases is also one's own responsibility, not just making small moves in private.
Zhao Yunlou understood, expressed his understanding, and then motioned for Zhao Ran to continue.
Zhao Ran said: "The case was originally posted in Songfan and Long'an to search for Wanniang in the portrait. This was tantamount to finding a needle in a haystack. Therefore, Du Jianyuan and Abbot Bai made great efforts to assist Sanqing Pavilion to find Wanniang.
With the great help of the two of them, we finally got a clue. Ye Dou said that he had a concubine last year, and an insider revealed that she looked very similar to Wan Niang in the portrait."
Hearing this, Zhao Yunlou sighed softly: "This is Ye Yunxuan's problem."
Zhao Ran nodded and continued, "But this is just hearsay. There are many people with similar looks, so Du Supervisor and I did not dare to draw conclusions, so we came to the capital and asked Lu Supervisor for help. Lu Supervisor
Based on the clues we provided, the prison finally confirmed that Wanniang was the person in the portrait. While looking for the person, they found that Wanniang had been silenced, the relics had been found, the bones had been thrown into Jinjiang, the murderer had been brought to justice, and the confession was confirmed.
, it can be said to be irrefutable, and now all the evidence points to Ye Du."
Hearing this, Zhao Yunlou slapped the table and said angrily: "He actually killed someone? Was this Ye Yunxuan ordered by him? Or did Master Ye make the decision without permission?"
Zhao Ran said: "The master of Ye Ye said that it was Ye Yunxuan's order. He and Wan Niang have never met each other, so we think the confession is credible."
Zhao Yunlou asked again: "What case was Wan Niang involved in? Why was she murdered and silenced?"
Zhao Ran shook his head: "We have no way of knowing why. We are just investigating according to the requirements of Sanqing Pavilion. Now there is sufficient evidence to show that Ye Dujiao is a major suspect and needs his cooperation in the investigation. He is a provincial observer.
Gao Dao is not something we can investigate at will, so we immediately reported it to Xue Zhike and asked him to help arrange a time to report to you."
