Chapter 1084 Idle People of the Song Dynasty 3
Nianci Temple usually entertains female guests. Even if there are male guests, they are accompanied by their wives, mothers and sisters.

And they mostly wait outside the main hall and cannot enter the inner hall.

Liu Shu went to Nianji Temple during the day, but not only could he not get in, but if the murderer was really someone inside, it would arouse the murderer's suspicion.

Only at night.

After returning home, Liu Shu asked Er Niang to prepare dinner early.

After dinner, Liu Shu went to rest.

At night, when everyone else fell asleep, Liu Shu opened his eyes, changed into dark clothes and left the house.

Using his Qinggong skills, Liu Shu arrived outside Nianci Temple.

Just as he was about to go in, Liu Shu noticed something unusual.

He looked in one direction and saw a man in dark blue clothes standing on a tree not far away, looking at Liu Shu.

Liu Shu had a guess in his mind. He jumped to the man's side and took a closer look at the sword in his hand.

The blade of the sword is very wide, very similar to the legendary Juque Sword.

Liu Shu: "But is Zhan Zhao the bodyguard?"

The man was surprised for a moment, then nodded: "I am Zhan Zhao, may I know your name? Why are you here?"

Liu Shu: "I am Liu Shu. I am here to investigate the murder of my neighbor and friend. I wonder if Guard Zhan's visit is related to this?"

Zhan Zhao did not answer, but only asked: "Who is your neighbor?"

Liu Shu: "The first victim was Zhang Xiucai. I heard from his younger brother that Zhang Xiucai and his wife had been to Nianci Temple before they were killed. The other two victims were also related to Nianci Temple."

Zhan Zhao: "I see. Brother Liu is righteous. I am here just for these three cases."

Zhan Zhao: "Just as Brother Liu suspected, I also think this Nianci Temple is quite suspicious."

Liu Shu invited: "Together?"

Zhan Zhao: “Okay.”

The person in front of him had extremely advanced Qing Kung Fu skills, even better than his own.

Act with him and you won’t be dragged down by him.

Moreover, Zhan Zhao did not completely believe Liu Shu's words. He wanted to keep the person by his side so that he could discover any wrongdoings of this person in time.

Two people sneaked into Nianci Temple quietly.

The structure of this nunnery is not much different from other nunneries, and the main hall is dedicated to Guanyin Bodhisattva.

The nuns' quarters are in the backyard.

There are not many nuns in this nunnery, only five.

The host is a nun in her thirties.

An old nun in her sixties and three young nuns in their teens.

The nuns were all sleeping. Liu Shu and Zhan Zhao came and went in the nunnery without waking anyone up.

The two searched Nian Ci Temple from top to bottom and found nothing unusual.

Zhan Zhao: "It seems we are looking in the wrong direction."

Liu Shu frowned, he had a hunch that they had made no mistake.

These three cases are definitely related to Nian Ci Temple.

No clues were found and daybreak was approaching, so the two could no longer stay.

Liu Shu invited Zhan Zhao: "Does Guard Zhan have a place to stay? Do you want to stay at my house for a while?"

Zhan Zhao really didn't have a place to live yet. He had just arrived here to investigate Nian Ci Temple and hadn't even entered the county town.

"Then I'll trouble you, Brother Liu." Zhan Zhao thought about it and accepted Liu Shu's invitation.

After that night, he became familiar with Liu Shu.

Zhan Zhao believed that he had some vision in judging people and could tell that Liu Shu was not a bad person.

I guess he really came here to investigate the murder of his neighbor and friend.

Liu Shu brought Zhan Zhao to his home, pointed to a house next door, and said, "That's the home of the first victim here."

Zhan Zhao nodded to show that he understood.

Liu Shu brought Zhan Zhao into his home.

The doorman had woken up and was very surprised to see Liu Shu coming in from outside.

Liu Shu said, "I went out early in the morning to pick up a friend. Uncle Niu, this is Lord Zhan Zhao, who will stay in our house temporarily." The names of Zhan Zhao and Justice Bao were heard of by many people in the Song Dynasty.

When Uncle Niu heard that the person coming was Zhan Zhao, his eyes lit up.

"Hello, Master Zhan!"

Justice Bao and Mr. Zhan are idols in the hearts of the people!

Zhan Zhao smiled at Uncle Niu and called out in a pleasant voice, "Uncle Niu."

Uncle Niu was so excited that he almost fainted.

Liu Shu quickly assigned tasks to Uncle Niu so that he could vent his excitement.

"Uncle Niu, can you buy us some breakfast?"

Uncle Niu responded loudly, "Okay. Sir, Lord Zhan, what do you want to eat?"

Zhan Zhao: "I don't mind."

Liu Shu: "Buy some soup noodles and some more meat buns."

Uncle Niu: “Okay.”

After saying that, he ran away. His legs and feet didn't look like those of a man in his 50s or 60s.

Liu Shu couldn't help but smile and said, "Brother Zhan is very popular among the people."

Zhan Zhao smiled sheepishly.

This old man is as enthusiastic as the people in Kaifeng City!

When Er Niang heard the sound, she quickly put on her clothes and went out.

Liu Shu said to her, "Second Madam, please prepare a guest room for Master Zhan first."

Like Uncle Niu, Er Niang lost all her sleepiness when she heard Zhan Zhao's name and went to clean up the room with great interest.

Uncle Niu quickly bought back breakfast.

After having breakfast, Liu Shu and Zhan Zhao went back to their rooms to rest.

At noon, Liu Shu came out of the room, and Zhan Zhao was not at Liu's house.

Uncle Tingniu said that Zhan Zhao went to the county government office.

After lunch, Liu Shu went to the county government office to find Zhan Zhao.

When the people in the yamen heard that Liu Shu knew Zhan Zhao, they all looked at Liu Shu with envy.

"Are you coming?" Zhan Zhao greeted Liu Shu with a smile.

Liu Shu asked, "Did you find anything?"

Zhan Zhao: "Apart from the commonality of Nian Ci Temple, we have not found any other commonality."

Liu Shu: "So, the key is still this Nianji Temple."

Zhan Zhao: "But there is indeed nothing unusual about Nianci Temple. I investigated the five nuns in the temple, and their origins and identities are all normal."

Liu Shu proposed an idea: "Could the murderer also be a guest of Nianji'an?"

Zhan Zhao's eyes lit up and he said, "It's very likely, Liu Shu, thank you for your reminder."

Liu Shu smiled and said, "Nianji Temple is very popular, and there are many guests who go there to burn incense. It will be a big project to find clues about the murderer among them."

Zhan Zhao: "Start the investigation from the regular customers of Nianci Temple. Zhang Xiucai and the other six went to Nianci Temple at different times. The murderer would only see them at different time periods if he went there frequently."

Yanagi nodded in approval.

But then again, if you want to know who the regular customers are, you have to ask the nuns in Nian Ci Temple.

Zhan Zhao could have gone to Nian Ci Temple in his own identity to investigate and question the nun, but Zhan Zhao was afraid of alerting the murderer and letting him know that they had found clues. What if the murderer ran away?
Liu Shu: "I have a solution."

Zhan Zhao: ? ?

Liu Shu took Zhan Zhao for a walk on the street, visited several shops, and bought some things to take home.

Zhan Zhao understood it immediately.

"Brother Liu wants to dress up as a woman?"

Liu Shu gave him a thumbs up.

That's a solution.

Zhan Zhao looked Liu Shu upside down.
