Jiang Tenghe rushed to Lushan specially. Because of the strict order of Dongji Pavilion, he could not meet Zhao Ran and could only stay at Huang Bingyue's place in Leixiao Pavilion.
Yunshuitang looks after the spirit demons raised by this group of general guards. They are also the main guardians, so the town spirit official can see Zhao Ran, but he dare not communicate internally and externally. He can tell Zhao Ran the news about Jiang Tenghe's arrival in Lushan.
, has already exhausted all benevolence and righteousness.
Two days later, the formal review process began. The person responsible for questioning Zhao Ran was Zhao Songyang, the real person sitting in Dongji Pavilion. Facing this real person sitting in the hall who always asked him questions with a straight face, Zhao Ran responded with a calm attitude.
, what to say, the only question that cannot be explained clearly is the body of the Queen Mother, for which Zhao Ran can only cover it up by saying "unable to answer".
Of course, in Zhao Songyang's view, Zhao Ran's meaning may be that he doesn't know, so he can't continue on this point and can only skip it.
From beginning to end, the transcript was made three times, more than dozens of pages, and the whole process was very detailed. There were more than ten relevant witnesses involved, all of which needed further verification. After the inquiry was completed, Zhao Ran was asked to sign, and Zhao Songyang looked at it coldly.
Looking at Zhao Ran, he suddenly asked: "What's going on with your and Zhou Yumo's child?"
Zhao Ran replied: "I haven't met the child yet, and I haven't talked to Yumo about the child's situation, so I can't answer."
Zhao Songyang asked: "What do you mean, you don't know? The child is not yours?"
Zhao Ran said: "I really don't know the details, whether it's mine or not. I need to ask Yumo if you allow me to meet her."
Zhao Songyang said coldly: "You don't plan to recognize this child?"
Zhao Ran replied: "In fact, I hope this child is mine. But I cannot rule out the possibility that the child is adopted by Yumo?"
Zhao Songyang said: "We will verify this issue."
Zhao Ran asked back: "Whose child is this? This question is also included in the case?"
Zhao Songyang said: "In the photo that Zhu Qigu sent you, there is this child who looks very similar to you. Of course he is under investigation."
Zhao Ran said: "Thank you so much, Master. If there is any result, it would be best to inform me as the person involved as soon as possible."
Zhao Songyang said: "As a Taoist master, do you think this is very honorable? Do you know that this kind of thing can destroy you! Senior Brother Xu thinks so highly of you, but what about you? If you stumble on something like this, you are not worthy of Senior Brother Xu's respect.
What?"
Zhao Ran was silent for a moment and replied: "I have a clear conscience about this matter."
The investigation was still going on, and Jiang Tenghe was not idle outside. He took the initiative to visit several real masters in the Zhenshi Hall to inquire about everyone's attitude.
Zhou Zhenren met with Jiang Tenghe in Jiuzhou Pavilion. Her attitude towards this case was very clear. She believed that Zhao Ran killed the Queen Mother to protect himself. Since even Emperor Jiajing had entered spiritual practice, it would not be wrong for Xiaokang, the Queen Mother, to also enter spiritual practice.
What a strange thing. In Zhou Zhenren's view, although Zhu Xianjian was not killed by Zhao Ran himself, he died because of Zhao Ran. The Queen Mother had the idea of avenging her own son, which is justified both emotionally and rationally.
foot.
Jiang Tenghe just breathed a sigh of relief, but then he was scolded by Zhou Zhenren for a long time. Zhenren Zhou was extremely dissatisfied with Zhao Ran's "personal life style". Jiang Tenghe explained, "Judging from the age of the child,
, before getting married" could not calm her anger, but instead made a comment that "the character is even worse".
In addition to Zhou Zhenren, Jiang Tenghe also visited Dongfang Ming. Everyone is from Sichuan Province. In the past ten years or so, Zongsheng Hall and Yuhuang Pavilion have been closely related to each other to the point where they are almost indistinguishable from each other, so visiting Dongfang Ming is inevitable.
.It’s just that the matter this time is very complicated, equivalent to internal strife among the monks in Sichuan Province. Jiang Tenghe estimates that Dongfang Minghui will be in trouble.
It was really difficult for Dongfang Ming. He asked Jiang Tenghe: "If Junior Brother Jiang were in my position, what should I do?"
Jiang Tenghe was speechless.
Jiang Tenghe went to see Yang Zhenren of Qifu Pavilion again, but unfortunately he was blocked by Yang Zhenren. The Taoist deacon of Qifu Pavilion said that Yang Zhenren believed that this was a sensitive period and as Zhao Zhiran's in-laws, it was not appropriate to meet Jiang Tenghe.
Jiang Tenghe didn't give up and went to Chunyang Pavilion to find his real in-laws, Duanmu Changzhen, hoping that the Duanmu family could come forward and save Zhao Zhiran first. But he was also rejected by the Duanmu family, and Duanmu Changzhen didn't even give a reason.
Just say no.
Although he was deeply frustrated, he still put down his old face and continued to work for his disciples. He successively visited the three true masters Guo Hongjing, Du Yanghong, Wang Jingyun, Song Yangshi, Wu Yangzhong, Du, Wang and Song.
Among them, only Wu Yangzhong expressed clear support, while Guo Hongjing showed more obvious kindness, which made Jiang Tenghe extremely grateful.
Huang Bingyue explained to Jiang Tenghe: "What is the truth? In fact, everyone is like a mirror. Zhao Zhiran has no such motive at all to take the initiative to kill the Queen Mother, so the possibility of self-protection is extremely high. But in the past two years, Zhiran has mastered
Jiangnan's political affairs are too smooth, and he is young and has too much limelight, so he is easily jealous. Although it may seem like an obvious case, in fact, some people are using it as an excuse to make a mountain out of a molehill."
Seeing that Jiang Tenghe was worried, Huang Bingyue comforted him: "I judge that Zhiran may suffer some setbacks this time. But Master Jiang, please rest assured that Zhiran will not be in danger in terms of personal safety."
Jiang Tenghe sighed: "I understand what you mean. As long as I can escape unscathed, I will be satisfied."
Huang Bingyue further advised: "Uncle Jiang, there is no need to rush around too much. Lou Guan has risen very strongly in recent years, and some people are eager to fall into the trap of Uncle Jiang."
Jiang Tenghe said: "After Zhiran became a teacher, everything was his own hard work. To be honest, as a teacher, I did not fulfill my responsibility as a teacher. Instead, he kept supporting the teacher.
Zhi Ran should be the main contributor to Lou Guan's success today. Today Zhi Ran suffered misfortune. If I, as a teacher, still have any shame, my life at this age will be in vain."
Jiang Tenghe continued to run around, but Zhang Yunyi and Wang Changyu, the two leading true masters, could not get in. After much thought, he finally left the Golden Rooster Peak Cave and rushed to Jianji Temple to see Zhang Yuanji.
After waiting outside Zhang Yuanji's hospital for a long time, the deacon Taoist priest came out and said, "Master Jiang, please come back. My Heavenly Master is meeting with Master Chu to discuss important matters. We cannot be free today."
Jiang Tenghe asked: "When will Master Yuanji be free?"
The Taoist deacon shook his head: "I don't know this."
Jiang Tenghe said: "Can you please tell me and help Pindao make an appointment?"
The Taoist deacon looked troubled: "Master Jiang, it's better to go back, don't make it difficult for the trail."
