After the prince enters the play

Chapter 104 Chapter 104: Su Shizi is an honest man

When Su Xinyi left the teahouse, the more she thought about it, the more frustrated she felt, as if everything was different, how could there be such a big gap?
She had never heard of the trial drug murder case.

In the last life, without her involvement, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince solved the case, but in this life she missed it because of her meddling, so she couldn't just sit idly by and ignore this matter.

Since there is a loophole, she must make it up, but how to tell His Highness the Crown Prince, this is the most difficult part.

Do you want to revisit the murder case again?
Wu Shun has been released and the case must be closed.In case if it is found out again, will Wushun have to spend another time in prison?
After thinking about it, Su Xinyi had no better way, so he could only investigate the case by himself to see if he could find any clues.

Thinking of this, and thinking that she didn't ask Shang Junyan about the specific case, she didn't even know where the murder case was.

After all, she is inexperienced and has never done this kind of thing before.

So she immediately turned around and chased after Shang Junyan, but unfortunately she was a step too late and failed to catch up.

It runs pretty fast!
Su Xinyi felt that what he did today was not going well. He couldn't find out what Qin Guogong was tricked by Ma Rude, and he couldn't ask about the location of the drug trial case.

Su Xinyi was not a person who gave up easily. He found a simple tea stand by the side of the road and ordered a big bowl of tea. He sat on the dilapidated bench and listened to the other customers of the tea stand.

Most of the people who drink big bowls of tea on the side of the road are the surrounding people, which is convenient for her to find out what Taoist temples are around the capital. Since it is alchemy, it must be in the Taoist temple. You must choose a place with few pilgrims, so that they can do things conveniently.

Su Xinyi drank a stomachful of tea before she found out what she wanted.

There is a Wuji temple in the capital. This Taoist temple was very popular in the early years, but after the old temple master ascended to heaven, the Taoist temple gradually declined.

The key is where is this view of infinity built?
South of the city!

Ma Rude's private storehouse of private salt is also in the south of the city!
Such a coincidence?
Su Xinyi felt that it was definitely not a coincidence.

She decided to go to the south of the city again.

It was a bit slow for Su Xinyi to go to the south of the city by car, so he sent the driver back home, and sent a message to his mother to go back later.

Then Su Xinyi went to the mule and horse shop to rent a horse, so he didn't need to change his clothes, so he went directly to the south of the city.

With the last step, Su Xinyi had a good idea of ​​the general layout of the south of the city, and went directly in the direction of Wuji Temple.

In two quarters of an hour, she entered the boundary of the southern city. After going around in circles, she finally saw the Temple of Infinity not far from the base of the city wall.

At the first glance, I felt that this Taoist temple was very small, which was different from the tall and majestic Taoist temple she imagined.

The door of the Wuji Temple was closed tightly, and it was impossible to see if there was anyone in the temple from the outside. She found a shaded place to tie up the horse, and walked along the dirt road by herself.

Nancheng is not as good as the imperial city. The central roads are paved with bluestones, and here are all loess roads, which are muddy on sunny days and muddy on rainy days.

Su Xinyi turned around and saw no one on the street. After thinking about it, he knocked on the door of a nearby house, but it turned out that the door was closed and could not be opened.

One or two is fine, she knocked several times in a row but didn't knock on the door, which is very strange.

Su Xinyi thought for a while and went straight to knock on the door of the Taoist temple. The temple looked very dilapidated, the paint on the door was peeling off, and weeds grew in the gaps on the steps in front of the door. She reached out to knock on the door, afraid that she would leave. With great strength, the door of the Taoist temple was smashed down.

In such a place, it is really difficult to see that it will be a place to test drugs and kill people. Could it be that I guessed wrong?
After knocking for a long time, no one came to open the door. She couldn't climb over the wall to enter in broad daylight. After thinking about it, she simply went back and led the horse back. After walking two alleys, there were pedestrians on the street visible to the naked eye. contacts.

Su Xinyi took a look around, stepped forward to stop an old woman with gray hair, folded her hands and said with a smile: "Ma'am, I want to ask you how to get to Wuji Temple?"

The old woman looked up at the person in front of her, squinted her eyes and said, "Where did you come from, little brother?"

Today, Su Xinyi saw that Shang Junyan was wearing a Hu suit for the convenience of going out, and his hair was tied up. He looked like a tomboy, so it was not wrong to be recognized as a little brother.

"I came from outside the city. I heard people say that the old master of Wuji Temple is very effective. I wanted to come here to burn incense sticks, but I couldn't find a place here, so I stopped my aunt to ask for directions." Su Xinyi said with a smile .

"Yo, you are here for the old temple master, so you are not well-informed about the news. The old temple master left two years ago. Once the old temple master left, his great apprentice is useless, and the incense will not work. This year, I can't even fill my stomach. All the little Taoist priests in the temple have run away, leaving only the disciple of the old temple master to guard him. However, he is not there during the day and has to go out to make a living. It's just that he is not capable, so he can only go out of the city to the countryside The land boundary sets up a dojo for people, and you won’t be able to see him during the daytime.”

Su Xinyi heard that there was a lot of information, so she didn't see anyone during the day and only came back at night.

There is a curfew at night, and no one comes out to walk, so it is convenient for the Taoist Temple to get something. If you hear it like this, you feel that the Wuji Temple is very suspicious.

Su Xinyi made a disappointed look, "So that's how it is. Thank you, aunt. It's really unlucky. I thought I could invite the old temple master this time. It's a pity that the old temple master's apprentice is not successful. It would be great if he could have the skills of the old temple master. Auntie, you said that the current temple master is the old temple master's big apprentice, then he has been with the old temple master for many years, why didn't he learn the skills of the old temple master? What a pity."

The old woman was delighted when she heard it, "Don't be troubled, you are a young man. There are smart people and stupid people. How can everyone be talented. Although the old master's apprentice is not good at learning, but fortunately he is a good person. Honest, willing to endure hardships, you can see that he can make a living even if he goes to the countryside every day to do a dojo for others."

"What you said is that I was too anxious. Something happened at home, and I slipped my words because I was so anxious." Su Xinyi said with a long sigh. "Hearing what you said, it's not unreasonable for the temple master to serve as a dojo for others. Can I ask him to go back?"

"That depends on what's going on. He can do the small dojo, but the big one can't. The little Taoist priests in the temple are all gone, and he can't set it up himself."

Su Xinyi: ...

"Then can you tell me when the temple master will come back? I'll wait for him and ask him personally." Su Xinyi talked for a long time before getting to the point.

"It can't be said for sure. If you get closer, you will come back on the same day. If you go farther, there are also two, three, three or four days."

The viewing time is uncertain, and all the little Taoist priests in the Taoist temple have been dispersed. No matter how you look at it, it doesn't seem to be a problem.

Su Xinyi said gratefully: "Auntie, thank you so much, I came here for nothing, and I don't know how to explain it when I get home." She took out a piece of broken silver and stuffed it into the aunt's hand, "I'll buy you a bowl Drink tea, thank you for your advice."

The aunt looked down, ouch, how much silver does this cost, and she said a few words, how can it be worth so much money, and was about to call people to stop, when she saw that the young men got on their horses and ran away.

The aunt stopped barking, and she thought happily that she would be lucky if she went out today, so lucky.

Su Xinyi did not return to the Wuji Temple. According to the old lady, she knocked on the door for a long time but no one came out to answer the door, and she was not sure when the Lord of the Wuji Temple would come back. It would be meaningless for her to spend time here.

Sure enough, there must be talents in hand. If there are useful people, they can be watched.

Su Xinyi thought about it, but he had to go to his elder brother for this matter, there must be someone for his elder brother.

This time Su Xinyi learned to be smart, she didn't go to the prince's mansion to find someone, but went back to the mansion and waited.

After going back, I changed my clothes first, and then went to say hello to my mother.

The fourth lady was reconciling accounts, and when she saw her, she waved to her, "Run out of the sky, thankfully your grandma and grandpa let you go, if you change it to someone else's house, you will suffer. Go out and do it again today." what?"

Su Xinyi hurriedly responded, "I'll be more careful in the future, and don't run out a few times."

The fourth lady was happy, closed the account books, looked at her daughter and said: "Go out if you like, just don't cause trouble."

Su Xinyi thought, this kind of thing is hard to say, sometimes she doesn't cause trouble, but things always come to her, and she can't help it.

"Mom, have you ever heard of the Temple of Infinity?" Su Xinyi felt that the Temple of Infinity was once very famous, maybe her mother knew about it.

"Why do you ask this, Wuji Temple, I know. In the early days when the old temple master was there, the incense was very prosperous, but after the old temple master left, it fell down. It's very good, why do you ask this?" Fourth Mrs. Su looked at Daughter, she always felt that her daughter must have something to hide from her.

"Then have you been there?" Su Xinyi asked again.

"I believe in Buddhism, but I have never been to a Taoist temple." Mrs. Su is a pious person, unlike other people who also worship gods and Buddhas, and the real king also believes in it. How can this be possible. "Do you have something to hide from your mother?"

Su Xinyi: ...

"No, I'm just a little curious when I heard someone talk about Wuji Temple today, so I'll ask you about it. I heard that the old temple master is very powerful, so I wonder why his big apprentice can't get on the wall so much." Su Xinyi Of course, you can't talk about the drug trial case. If her mother knows about it, she will definitely worry about her.

"It's the same reason you said that. The old Taoist master chose an inheritor, which is too useless. Once the person leaves, the Taoist temple will collapse." Mrs. Su said with some sighs, "Although I I have never been there, but I also know that when the temple of Wuji is flourishing, there are huge crowds of people every time the temple is opened, and there are many believers, but it is a pity that the descendants are not useful, and the reputation accumulated by the old temple master is gone. "

"I also heard that the current temple master has dismissed even the little Taoist priests in the temple. The old temple master has only been away for two years, and he is not so depressed. I always feel weird." Su Xinyi said.

"It's strange for you to say that." Mrs. Su looked at her daughter, "A Taoist temple like Wuji Temple, which was once very prosperous, must have a rich family background, and it is indeed impossible to lose everything in a year or two. "

"Tell me carefully, I don't really understand this." Su Xinyi felt that the question was indeed correct.

Mrs. Su was happy, "Of course you little girls don't understand these things. The income from both Taoist temples and Buddhist temples is very considerable. For example, our family spends a lot of money on Buddhist temples every year, not to mention the donations to Buddhist temples." , There is also money for sesame oil and money for burning incense. If you invite the great monk in the temple to recite scriptures, you will be given separately. In addition, if you light the ever-burning lanterns in the temple, it is another money. Our house has a few thousand taels a year. "

Su Xinyi: ...

Seeing her daughter's expression, the fourth lady found it even more interesting, and said with a smile: "So relatively speaking, the income of the Taoist temple is not too bad, especially when the old temple master was there, the incense was very prosperous, so it fell down in two years. There may be other reasons for this.”

Su Xinyi knew vaguely what was wrong at first, but she couldn't tell what was wrong. Now that she heard what her mother said, she understood that there was a problem with income and expenditure.

As my mother said, when the old Taoist master was here, he was sure that the income of the Taoist temple was extremely rich, and it was absolutely impossible for it to collapse like this within two years.

So, where did the money go?
Why does the current temple master give people the illusion of defeat, so is the drug trial case really related to him?

If because of alchemy, he was afraid that the young Taoist priests would be expelled from the Taoist temple by the wind, and he was afraid that the incense would be too hot to expose his deeds, so he made an illusion of decline, if he thought about it this way, things would make sense.

But whether her guess is right or not, she will not know until after verification.

Su Xinyi had some clues, and her mood improved. Looking at her mother, she said, "Listening to what you said really enlightened me. I understood it all at once. My mother is really amazing."

Mrs. Su was coaxed to smile, "What are these things? When you get married in the future and take over these things in the family, you will slowly get started."

After coaxing her mother, Su Xinyi had dinner with her before returning to her yard.

After she came back, she asked Lian Qiao to ask the young master if she was back. Lian Qiao went to the young lady's side for a while, and said to the girl when she came back: "The young lady said that the young master hasn't come back yet. The young master comes back very late, and sometimes it's almost curfew. The young lady said, if the girl is in a hurry, someone will come and give you a message when the young master comes back. "

Su Xinyi really couldn't wait, so he thought for a while and said, "Go and tell your sister-in-law, and I'll trouble her to send someone to tell you when my brother comes back."

Forsythia replied, "Yes, servant girl will go now."

As soon as Forsythia left, Su Xinyi was a little tired after running all day, so she went to take a bath and change clothes and waited slowly.

Delphinium led people to bring hot water to the clean room, waited for the girl to come out of the bath, and slowly wiped her hair with a dry handkerchief, dried it, and tied it up again with a jade comb.

Su Xinyi was so drowsy by the delphinium, and when she was about to fall asleep, Lianqiao walked in.

Su Xinyi opened his eyes when he heard her footsteps, turned his head slightly and asked, "The young master is back?"

"Yes, the people around the Young Madam just sent back a letter, and the Young Master said he was waiting for the girl in the study." Lian Qiao said hastily.

Su Xinyi stretched out his hands and rubbed his face to cheer himself up. He went into the inner room and changed his clothes before going out.

The delphinium followed with a lantern, and the master and servant walked out from the inner courtyard. When they reached the second gate, the woman guarding the gate asked a question, knowing that Su Xinyi was looking for the young master, and then opened the door.

Knowing that his sister came, Su Yi was disheveled and disheveled, so he washed his face in a hurry, changed his clothes, and ran a lot of places today, covered in dirt.

As soon as the two brothers and sisters met, Su Yi looked at his younger sister and said, "Why is it so urgent that we can't wait until tomorrow to talk about it?"

He was a little afraid that his sister would come to scare him again in the middle of the night.

"I want to borrow two people from my elder brother." Su Xinyi said directly.

Su Yi's heart skipped a beat, "Borrowing someone is fine, but what are you going to do? Speaking of you running out all day, last time grandfather said he had to arrange a few people to follow you, now you should still pick someone up, and you should be there in a few days." delivered."

Su Xinyi frowned in confusion, mainly because she didn't know how to speak correctly about this matter.

Seeing his sister's expression, Su Yi knew that something was wrong. He sighed in his heart, but said, "Sit down and talk slowly."

Su Xinyi sat down as he said, thought for a while and said, "Brother, how did the serial murder case a few days ago end?"

"Huh? The case hasn't been closed yet, why do you ask this?" Su Yi asked in surprise.

"The case hasn't been closed yet? How did Wu Shun be released?" Su Xinyi was also shocked.

"I don't know the exact process. I heard from Wu Shun that he was released after finding out that he had nothing to do with the murder case. However, the real culprit of the serial murder case has not been caught yet, so the case is not yet closed."

Su Xinyi's heart couldn't help but feel relieved. Also, a person as smart as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince could find out the drug trial case in his previous life, how could he close the case in such a muddle in this life.

This day's mood was ups and downs, until this moment, she felt relaxed, so she said immediately: "I have some clues here, I don't know if it can be used."

Su Yi: ...

"You also have clues about this kind of thing? You've been running out every day, didn't you just check this?" Su Yi didn't know what expression to put on at this moment.

It stands to reason that he should scold his sister, but thinking of his own sister's ability, it seems that he doesn't have much confidence.

However, how scary is it for a girl to investigate a serial murder case without making a sound by herself?
Su Xinyi was afraid that his elder brother might misunderstand, so he immediately said: "No, I just found out by accident, I really didn't check it myself."

Su Yi stared at his sister suspiciously, and found that she really didn't seem guilty, so he breathed a sigh of relief, and said earnestly: "Xin Yi, brother knows you have the ability, but you can't beat four hands with two fists, don't do things recklessly. .Fortunately, the person that grandfather arranged for you should be here soon, otherwise I will not do anything this day and just keep an eye on you."

Su Xinyi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Brother, I'm not so ignorant, I know how powerful it is, don't worry."

Su Yi wanted to feel relieved, but he really couldn't let it go, since he recognized his sister back, his life was like a sudden storm, and he couldn't even avoid it.

"Okay, I'll remember what you said, then tell me what's going on first." Su Yi wiped his face, collected himself, and listened carefully to the clues about the serial murder case.

Su Xinyi was silent for a while, cleared his mind, and then said, "Before Wu Shun was framed, I was very curious why he was pushed out to be taken advantage of, and then I vaguely understood something after hearing someone say it, brother, you know Promise, right?"

Su Xinyi didn't know how he could tell his elder brother the clues without telling about Shang Junyan's rebirth with himself.

In this way, it can also be justified by inverting.

Su Xinyi talked about the income of Wuji Temple that her mother said, and the reason why she suspected the rapid decline of Wuji Temple, and then used what she heard from the people around Wuji Temple as an excuse, saying that someone saw An Jingqi in Taoist Temple Has appeared several times.

After drawing An Jingqi out, the next thing will be a matter of course.

An Jingqi is related to Ma Rude, Su Baiwei and Li, and now he is related to the murder case, especially Wu Shun, who was pushed out as a scapegoat. concubine.

The network of relationships was rounded up at once.

After Su Xinyi finished speaking, Su Yi's expression was extremely exciting, "If what you said is true, this case is probably even more terrifying than we thought."

"I thought about this too, and I was really restless. That's when I found my elder brother and wanted to borrow someone to look at the Taoist temple to see if this is the case? After all, I have no evidence for my guess." Su Xinyi immediately added.

"How can you do this kind of thing." Su Yi looked at his sister's face and became serious. If what Xin Yi said was true, then this matter is quite dangerous. He immediately looked at her and said, "This matter I will report back to His Highness, in short, don't take the risk yourself."

Su Xinyi didn't expect her elder brother to be so decisive this time. It seems that following His Highness has gained knowledge and learned a lot, and she has changed a lot. Of course, she agreed, "I will feel at ease when I have elder brother's words, so I will ask elder brother."

At this time, the purpose is to let the elder brother have a sense of accomplishment, and the elder brother has indeed done a good job. Su Xinyi can let go of the burden by himself, and the whole person is relaxed.

After going round and round, this case has returned to the hands of His Highness the Crown Prince, which is right.

Su Xinyi left happily, Su Yi looked at her sister's back and felt a lot of pressure.

This younger sister is too capable, he didn't want to be made to look like a waste, so he could only run forward desperately.

Su Yi couldn't fall asleep either, so he simply sat at the table and recorded what his sister said, and smoothed out the clues so that he would not lose the rules when he meets His Highness tomorrow.

Su Yi was a little afraid as he wrote it. If his sister's guess is true, then the Wuji Temple may hide a huge secret. If it is revealed...

He didn't even dare to think about it.

Su Yi didn't sleep all night, and went to the East Palace the next day with big dark circles under his eyes.

Since the beginning of the year, His Majesty wanted the crown prince to attend the court, so Su Yi came early and before His Majesty came back, he waited in the East Palace.

Although Pang Lan had a good impression of Su Yi, as a prince, he was able to endure hardships. During these days, he followed His Highness to investigate cases and never cheated. He completed all the errands assigned by His Highness earnestly, so Pang Lan came to accompany him at this moment. say.

"Captain Su, is there something urgent to see His Highness so early?"

Su Yi nodded, "There is something I want to report to Your Highness, Guard Pang, may I ask, is there any clue to the previous serial murder case?"

Pang Lan looked at Su Yi in surprise. This elder son is not a troublesome person, and he is honest. If he asks this question, he must have a clue!
Pang Lan suddenly became interested.
