The county magistrate has no time to save the world

Chapter 94

A human head can be big or small.

The monk also understood this truth, so the first choice was not to dispose of the corpse or protect the scene, blocking the crowds coming in and out. Instead, he walked up to Zheng Nian and said in a low voice, "Tanyue, please don't panic."

Zheng Nian's eyes were on the head first, and after looking at it for a while, he slowly left, put it on the monk, and said with a smile, "What's the reason for panic?"

The monk was a little dazed, and looked at Zheng Nian stupidly.

Zheng Nian smiled foolishly, "It's okay, I'm used to seeing things like a head while walking, master, should you take us to fulfill our wish first, or go find out who lost the head first ?”

The monk broke out in a drop of cold sweat. If he were to be calm, he could be calm, but Zheng Nian in front of him had already surpassed the category of calm.

"Tanyue, please follow me." The monk passed through the Heavenly King Hall and came to the central hall. At this time, he quickly ordered his young monks to block the Heavenly King Hall, and by the way, informed the abbot of Daxiangguo Temple to come.

Chen Xuan'er followed Zheng Nian, grabbed his arm, and pressed her voice, "Brother, is that a real head?"

"It has nothing to do with you, don't worry about it so much." Zheng Nian said, "Be careful of having nightmares and wetting the bed at night."

Normally, Chen Xuan'er would definitely compete with Zheng Nian, but the current situation is very serious, and the monks around are watching them very vigilantly.

Zheng Nian was very calm, he didn't seem to take this matter as a big deal, he led Chen Xuan'er into the temple, knelt on the futon and said softly, "Master, we are here to fulfill the wish."

The two bowed three times and kowtowed nine times. Chen Xuan'er tremblingly finished the whole preparation and was about to start reciting Buddhist scriptures. This time was very long, and no one could accompany her, so she could only enter the chanting pavilion alone.

Zheng Nian was free. After Chen Xuan'er started chanting sutras and Buddha, she stood up and paced in the courtyard.

It would be a lie to say that he is not interested, but it is even more impossible to directly rush to investigate now. Although the case here happened in Chang'an County, the level has surpassed his county magistrate's management.

It belongs to the category of Jinyiwei or Dali Temple.

A young monk outside casually announced that the temple will be closed today, and all the pilgrims outside the door were isolated.

The monks in the temple, under the command of the monk holding the Buddhist beads, took less than two quarters to clear the temple of pilgrims.

Zheng Nian was left in the courtyard with two monks standing in front of him.

The great monk must have reached his front, with a long horse face and reddish features, and with a kind smile on his face, he nodded to Zheng Nian, "Tan Yue, the old monk is the abbot of Da Xiangguo Temple, his dharma name is Huiming."

Monk Huiming pointed to the monk who led Zheng Nian all the way through the Hall of Heavenly Kings and found the corpse at the same time, "This is the old monk's younger brother, named Huihai."

"I don't know Tanyue's name and taboo." Hui Hai has always been suspicious of Zheng Nian's identity.

I didn't get straight to the point before, firstly because I was worried that this matter would be too big to deal with, and secondly because I was worried that if Zheng Nian did it, the two would fight and hurt innocent people, which would smear Guosi's face.

Zheng Nian honestly declared his name.

Unexpectedly, the two didn't react too much, and they didn't even recognize that they were the county magistrate of Chang'an County.

This made Mr. Zheng feel a little self-blame. It seems that he, as a parent official, is still not doing well. Daxiangguo Temple is such a high-end place, and he doesn't even know who he is. This is unreasonable.

There is an opportunity for them to get to know each other.

"Hui Hai, let's go." Master Hui Ming waved his hand.

I saw Hui Hai lightly swept up, went straight to the hand of the heavenly king above, and reached the big mouth of the red dragon's blood basin, grabbed the lower jaw with his left hand, stretched out his right hand, and pulled the man's head out of the red dragon's mouth.

A few drops of dark red blood fell to the ground, Master Hui Hai landed steadily, and put his head on a low incense table.

Huihai and Huiming clasped their hands together at the same time, and sighed, "Amitabha Buddha... so good, so good."

Zheng Nian stepped forward to check the head, but was stopped by Hui Hai, "Tanyue, don't move around, the poor monk has already sent his disciples to inform Dali Temple, and Dali Temple should be here soon."

"Does that mean I have nothing to do?" Zheng Nian asked.

Huihai and Huiming glanced at each other, "Tanyue please rest in the side hall. After Dali Temple arrives, Master Shaoqing will make a decision."

Because Chen Xuan'er at least said that he would read the scriptures for another half an hour, he simply went directly to the side hall, and the two young monks took out some melons, fruits and tea as treats, and placed them in front of Zheng Nian.

The other monks were waiting at the side, and the two eminent monks Huiming and Huihai stopped at the side of the incense table.

No one dared to take a closer look at the head full of long hair covering the face.

The Dali Temple did not dare to neglect such a case, it was a national temple after all, if this kind of thing happened, the lawsuit of human life was a small matter, but the face of the country was a big matter.

Nearly a hundred people were dispatched from Dali Temple. Wu Siyan arrived at the scene with her two capable female officials. A group of dozens of people controlled the temple cabinet, Tianwang Hall, and Chaoli Hall, and began to check for clues.

Wu Siyan arrived at the atrium, first looked around, and then bowed to Master Huiming with a straight face, "Master."

"Your Excellency Shaoqing." Huiming, the abbot of Daxiangguo Temple, put his palms together in salute, "This head was taken down from the statue of the Heavenly King by Hui Hai, an old monk and younger brother. No one has touched it except him."

Wu Siyan nodded, and the female officer next to her stepped forward and raised the hair on her head with a long sword, revealing the man's face.

"Master, do you know this person?" Wu Siyan asked.

"This..." Huiming shook his head first, and beckoned to the young monk beside him, "Tongfa is in charge of the supervisor in the temple, let him identify it."

"Okay." Wu Siyan said.

Tongfa took a closer look at the head of the corpse, then lowered his head, "Amitabha, Master Shaoqing, this person is a disciple of the lay family of our temple, who is assigned to the outer sect. Take care of the patriarch's daily life."

"I don't know where Master Long Yin is now?" Wu Siyan asked.

"Master is in the East Temple, Sir Shaoqing, please follow me." Abbot Huiming led Wu Siyan to the East Temple.

But Hui Hai walked to the side hall where Zheng Nian was, and said with a slightly apologetic expression, "Amitabha Buddha, I have offended you so much, I hope Tanyue will not blame you, Master Shaoqing and the abbot brother will go to the side to check, please wait moment."

"It's okay." Zheng Nian supported his head, "I just feel a little sad for no reason."

"Why is it so sad?" Master Hui Hai was puzzled.

"The head I saw didn't have hair, but a monk. The seven ring scars were clearly visible. Unexpectedly, the head that the master took down had hair." Zheng Nian said with a smile, "The monks are not Lying, master, how many heads are there?"

"Two." Master Hui Hai took a deep breath and said slowly.

"Then why did the master only take down one?" Zheng Nian asked as if chatting while nibbling sunflower seeds.

Master Hui Hai raised his head and looked at Zheng Nian coldly, "Tan Yue can see clearly from such a long distance, it's really very human."

"The other head, the master doesn't seem to want others to find out." Zheng Nian said, "The monks are merciful, how could they kill people to take the head, it seems that the master wants to protect a person."

"Tan Yue, if there is nothing else, you can leave on your own." Master Hui Hai stood up and walked outside.

"Master doesn't seem to be worried that I will tell the truth." Zheng Nian said.

"If this matter is over, I will send the respected lady to the residence." Master Hui Hai was no longer in the courtyard.

Zheng Nian turned his head and opened the door of the chanting room, but there was no one there.
