Chapter 169 The truth comes out (1)

   The emperor's summoning was exactly as Chu Xiaoyun expected, and he was asked to settle the case of Gu Qingyun's replacement, and then he and Wei Jinghan dug out the dark organization of the barbarians lurking in Dacheng, completely blocking Dacheng's leakage channel. In order to facilitate Chu Xiaoyun's handling of the case, the emperor also gave him a token, and the arrest of those involved in the case is not restricted by official positions.

Early the next morning, Chu Xiaoyun hurried back to Jing County with a simple salute and the token bestowed by the emperor. When you reach the Pingjiang River Basin, you will change the waterway and move forward.

When the passenger ship passed Fangchuan County, and the guests went ashore for a rest, Chu Xiaoyun heard the diners next door talking about a temple called Zhenling Temple near Lichuan Cliff on the outskirts of the county. A wall of the side room of the main hall where the worshipers were worshiped collapsed, exposing a bone. At that time, the pilgrims who were worshiping in the temple panicked in fright, and the abbot of the temple failed to control the situation.

The news of the bones buried under the main hall of Zhenling Temple spread throughout Fangchuan County in an instant.

After learning about the situation, the county government arrested the house and rushed to Zhenling Temple. During the process of excavating the bones, it was discovered that not just a bone was buried under the collapsed temple, but a corpse pit at all. There were many bones inside, and it was very infiltrating, and all the monks in the temple were immediately controlled. Because there were too many bones, the prison and mortuary in Fangchuan County were too busy, so they asked nearby counties for help. Today's Zhenling Temple can be said to be a collection of arresting houses and mortuaries from all counties.

Hearing diners mention that a corpse pit was found under the temple near Lichuan Cliff, Chu Xiaoyun immediately remembered what Gu Qingyun said before leaving, that the dead bodies of the guards of the Gu family should be buried near Lichuan Cliff. His heart moved, he went up to the chattering diners and cupped his hands, "I wonder if someone came from the arrest house in Hejing County?" The

diners looked at him inexplicably, but they saw that someone was interested in the topic he was talking about. , someone still answered him: "Hejing County is so close to Fangchuan, and the arrest house is famous, so it is natural to come. But I heard that the person who came is not a head arrester, but a gang leader."

As the team leader, Yu He should be right. Only Yu He can make Wei Jinghan so relieved. Chu Xiaoyun thanked several diners, and then returned to the passenger ship to bid farewell to the owner of the passenger ship. Explain that I have something to do, and I will no longer accompany the ship for the next itinerary.

The owner of the passenger ship frowned and said, "The fare is non-refundable. When you boarded the ship, you said you were going to Hejing County, and you took a seat with me."

Chu Xiaoyun said, "No refund." After saluting, he got off the boat, hired a carriage at the pier, and went straight to Zhenling Temple.

When Chu Xiaoyun rushed to Zhenling Temple, Zhenling Temple was already surrounded by the government, and the old scene of incense burning was no longer seen. The policeman from Fangchuan County outside the temple had met him before, and when he saw him, he asked strangely: "Captain Chu, didn't you say that you are out on business, so you won't be here this time?"

Chu Xiaoyun prevaricated: " I'm done with business over there, so come over and have a look."

"Ah, that's a good feeling. If you come to Fangchuan, we must speed up the progress of solving this case." A guard flattered.

Chu Xiaoyun smiled: "Do you know where the people from Hejing County are?"

"This meeting should be at the main hall." The guard said.

"Okay, I'll go over and have a look." Chu Xiaoyun said goodbye to the guards and headed for the main hall.

As expected, Yu He was indeed the one who led the team to Fangchuan County.

"Xiaoyun?" Seeing Chu Xiaoyun, Yu He was also stunned, "Why are you here? You're back?"

Chu Xiaoyun nodded, and looked into the excavated corpse pit: "Here is a What's the situation? How did these people die before, have you figured out the number of bones?"

Yu Hedao: "Currently it can be determined that the fatal cause of death was slashing with a sword. Whether it was a one-sided massacre or a vendetta still needs to be examined carefully. After three days of excavation, a total of 23 bones were unearthed. The last bone was unearthed last night. We have been busy for a long time today, and we haven't found any new bones, and we don't know if we've finished digging."

Chu Xiaoyun recalled the conversation with Gu Qingyun, when half of the guards were sent away to Qingzhou to pick up Zhou Ying, the rest accompanied him. There are 24 people in total. Previously, it was recorded in the yamen file that when "Gu Qingyun" was attacked, apart from Gu Qingyun, there was only one guard who was blind and lost one arm among the survivors. Exactly 23 people died. In comparison, the number of bones was just in line with the number of Gu Qingyun's dead followers. It seems that the one buried by His Royal Highness Zhenling Temple should be Gu Qingyun's accompanying guard. Among them should be Deng Xing, who was assassinated in the trail, and was also brought here to be buried together.

Although the speculation is reasonable and reasonable, in the end, all of this is just speculation and needs to be confirmed by physical evidence. Cases cannot be decided by reasoning alone.

Seeing that Chu Xiaoyun didn't answer for a long time, Yu He said again: "These people died in miserable conditions. Unfortunately, their identities cannot be confirmed yet, and they don't know why they died. But looking at the condition of the bones, one can imagine the situation at the time. Xiaoyun, what do you think?"

Chu Xiaoyun remembered that Gu Qingyun's guards were all uniformly dressed, so he asked: "The remaining clothing materials can't determine the identity of the deceased?"

Yu He shook his head: "It's strange to say, we are dead There was no trace of clothing or personal belongings left in the pit. I don't know if the corpses were looted before they were buried. However, these people have been dead for at least four or five years, and it's normal that all the clothes and fabrics have rotted away. It's just a few accessories No, it's a bit strange."

"Didn't you find any belongings?" Chu Xiaoyun asked. It is difficult to determine the specific identity.

Yu He thought for a while: "You can't say that, only a jade ring was found in the hand bone of one corpse. The corpse was buried farther than the other corpses, and the scars on the corpse were heavier. He The jade ring in the hand bone, I think it was left by him holding it tightly in his hand. When we did the autopsy, his hand bone was still tightly held. But it should have been broken before he was alive. One, we found that jade ring and took it from the broken hand bone."

Chu Xiaoyun said: "Where is that jade ring? Show it to me."

Yu He said: "It is found so The large corpse pit has long shocked the nearby counties. The prefect of Gyeongju has come to Fangchuan to sit in the prefecture. The jade ring can be said to be the only thing that can prove the identity of these people. Naturally, the arresters of Gyeongju prefecture took it away Got it."

Knowing Yuhuan's whereabouts. The first thing Chu Xiaoyun thought of was to get Yuhuan and return to Hejing County to confirm the identity of these bones.

Chu Xiaoyun already had a judgment on the corpse pit victim in his heart, and his reaction was much calmer than usual. However, Yu He and Chu Xiaoyun have been partners for too long, and he has long been familiar with Chu Xiaoyun's reaction, and the abnormal reaction still caught Yu He's attention.

"Xiaoyun, why do you talk so little today? Don't you have any opinion on this case?" Yu He looked at Chu Xiaoyun suspiciously.

Chu Xiaoyun looked around, and whispered to Yu He: "Find a safe place, let's go there and talk."

Yu He was confused, but still did as he did, and took Chu Xiaoyun to a safe place. place.

Chu Xiaoyun told Yu He about his implementation in the capital city and meeting the real Gu Qingyun, and then said: "I can't stay here for long, and when I get Yuhuan, I have to rush back to Hejing County immediately, lest the counterfeit run away .Here you pay more attention."

Knowing about Chu Xiaoyun's experience in the capital, Yu He's shock can be imagined. But after all, he has partnered with Chu Xiaoyun for so long, so he can be considered a battle-tested person. He quickly calmed down: "Okay, you go, I'm watching here, don't worry."

Chu Xiaoyun left Zhenling Temple and rushed all the way to Fangchuan County without stopping, looking for the arresting house of Qingzhou Prefecture to get the jade ring. He was ridiculed by the police of Gyeongju Prefecture, laughing at him for being overwhelmed.

"Master Zhifu sits here, how can you, a small arrester of the county government, get the evidence?" the arrester of Qingzhou Prefecture sneered.

When it came time to arrest Mr. Sun from Qingzhou Prefecture, because he was the one who admitted Chu Xiaoyun to the arrest house in Hejing County in the past, and because Chu Xiaoyun was famous for handling cases like a god, he also remembered him and felt that Chu Xiaoyun is not something in the pool.

Mr. Sun caught the head and saw that his subordinates were so rude to Chu Xiaoyun, so he stepped forward to stop the conversation and greeted Chu Xiaoyun.

After Chu Xiaoyun greeted Mr. Sun, he cupped his hands and said, "I wonder if Mr. Sun can introduce you to the magistrate?"

Seeing Mr. Sun's embarrassment, he said, "If there is any blame, Chu will fully bear it." "

Afraid Mr. Sun would not believe his ability, he lowered his voice and said, "Chu just came back from the capital."

Sure enough, Mr. Sun looked at him in surprise, and after thinking for a moment, he said: "Chu Head, please follow me."

This is the second time I met He Yuqi, the prefect of Gyeongju, and after Chu Xiaoyun saluted, he faintly felt that He Yuqi seemed a little different from the last time he read about Gu Qingyun's wife-killing case.

Knowing Chu Xiaoyun's intentions, He Yuqi was naturally surprised. He looked at Chu Xiaoyun in disbelief: "Are you asking for evidence from this government? This is under the jurisdiction of Qingzhou Prefecture. Could it be that Chu Butou has gained some fame and forgot who he is?"

Chu Xiaoyun thought for a while, and took out the gold medal bestowed by the emperor from his bosom: "Here is the gold medal bestowed by the emperor, seeing this token is like seeing the emperor!

" . After he was astonished, he immediately knelt down on the ground: "My minister, He Yuqi, sees the emperor. Long live the emperor, long live the emperor!"

Mr. Sun, who was on the side, also knelt down in astonishment.

Previously, Chu Xiaoyun said that he could persuade He Yuqi to hand over Yuhuan, but Mr. Sun did not believe it, but because of the seriousness of the case, he had no clue. Chu Xiaoyun was also famous for investigating the case. In order to solve the case, he weighed it up before biting the bullet. Introduction. Unexpectedly, Chu Xiaoyun really had the ability to persuade He Yuqi.

It's just that Chu Xiaoyun, a small head of the county government, has been clinging to the emperor since when? Boss Sun knelt down while being surprised, and couldn't help but look at Chu Xiaoyun frequently, trying to get some clues from Chu Xiaoyun's calm face. He didn't expect that Bai Ding, who he didn't follow Yang Yuankai to suppress back then, would now come in and out of the emperor's side.

Thinking about the past, Mr. Sun was not only full of emotions when he arrested the head. It is true that the waves of the Yangtze River push forward the waves of the past. With my own ability, it is already beyond the reach of such young people.

Chu Xiaoyun used the emperor's prestige to get the only belongings of the deceased in the corpse pit from He Yuqi, and then rushed back to Hejing County. Before leaving, he suddenly remembered why the corpse pit where the Gu family guards were buried was hidden in Zhenling Under the main hall of the temple, did no one find the body when it was buried? Or is Zhenling Temple itself a clue? With so many corpses, movement and movement are absolutely insignificant. It is not easy to hide the truth. If this reason is not established, it is only possible that the monks of Lingyin Temple also participated in this massacre. Could Lingyin Temple be an important stronghold for the Hu people?

He immediately turned back to Zhenling Temple, and found Chen Butou, who was supervising the work at Zhenling Temple, to investigate the matter.

"Chen Butou, did the monks of Lingyin Temple report to the officials to hear any noise five years ago?" Chu Xiaoyun asked.

"What noise did you hear five years ago?" Catcher Chen thought Chu Xiaoyun's question was a bit funny, "Who knows what happened five years ago, I hadn't even been appointed as Catcher in Fangchuan County at that time." Since

Fangchuan The county arrester had never been involved in the massacre of the Gu family's guards, so it was pointless to ask. Chu Xiaoyun changed the direction and asked: "I don't know if Chen Butou knows the origin of the Zhenling Temple? Who donated it?" "Who donated the

Zhenling Temple?" Chen Butou was puzzled, "This defense Everyone in Chuan County knows that this land belongs to the Gu family, and it was donated to Buddhism for construction." "

The Gu family?" Chu Xiaoyun asked in surprise.

"What's wrong?" Chen Butou asked back.

"That's not true..." Knowing that Zhenling Temple was donated by the Gu family, Chu Xiaoyun already had a judgment in his heart, but this cannot be discussed with Chen Butou. When Chen Butou asked Chu Xiaoyun back, he seemed to think of something,

"You mean the construction of the Zhenling Temple is related to...Chu Butou, you really awakened the dreamer with one word." Chen Butou slapped the table, "The writers said that these bones have been dead for about five or six years. This Zhenling Temple was only built five years ago. Could it be..."

Chu Xiaoyun stopped him and said, "The truth of the matter depends on Chen Butou Please do your best to help. Please Chen Butou investigate the construction of this Zhenling Temple and the case five years ago." "

The case happened in our Fangchuan County, Chen is obliged to do so." Chen Butou said.

"I'm currently on official business, and I need to return to Hejing County immediately. If Chief Chen finds out the relevant information, and if I haven't rushed back to Fangchuan, please inform Hejing County team leader Yu Yuzuo." Chu Xiaoyun said, "It doesn't matter. The monks of Lingyin Temple must keep an eye on how this matter is investigated, and their role in this case must be very important." "

It's natural, Chu Butou doesn't say anything, Chen also did the same." Chen Butou Patted his chest and said.

"Well, Chu has something important to do, so I'm leaving."
