Chapter 444 Farce.

The abbot looked very flustered, and after he walked out, he kept saying Amitabha, sin, sin.

The abbot was no less nervous than when Huiyuan disappeared. It seemed that one or two people died was nothing, but if his Seven Star Temple was burned, it would be a big deal.

It turned out that they didn't really gain the Tao.

The abbot came to Bao Zheng, and said apologetically, "It's a crime to frighten Lord Bao!"

Bao Zheng didn't take it seriously, but responded: "It's good that Qixing Temple is fine."

At this time, Hwarang suddenly asked first: "Will everyone be there when the fire is put out?"

The abbot didn't quite understand what was going on for a while, so he asked, "Why did you ask this? Everyone was fighting the fire at the time, so they really didn't pay much attention."

Hwarang smiled faintly: "That's not necessarily true. When you carry water to put out fires, you always meet them back and forth. How could you not remember them? Let's testify to each other and see who you meet when you are fighting fires."

When Hwarang said this, the monks talked a lot, but Bao Zheng seemed to suddenly understand what Hwarang meant, so he ordered a little forcefully: "Tell me all the people you met on the way to fight the fire. Of course, it must be me who was killed by someone." The period before the assassination does not count.”

So, Hwarang sent people to bring pens, ink, paper and inkstones, and then asked these monks to write down the people they met during the firefighting, cross out those who testified to each other, and keep those who did not testify to each other. After the incense time, I finally finished asking the monks in the temple.

It's just that when everyone looked at the papers, they were dumbfounded, because every monk in the monastery could testify that they were fighting the fire before Bao Zheng was assassinated.

Hwarang looked at these and found it inconceivable, if the monks are all there, then who is the one who assassinated Bao Zheng, could it be those pilgrims?But those few pilgrims really have no reason to doubt it?

When thinking this way, Hwarang felt that something was wrong. Perhaps the disappearance of the monks and pilgrims in the Qixing Temple in the past few years was caused by people in the Qixing Temple. If it is feasible to assassinate Bao Zheng, it is another matter. Save!

It’s just that if you think about it this way, it still doesn’t make sense. That Huiyuan disappeared, just like other monks and pilgrims who disappeared, so it can be considered that this kind of thing was done by the same murderer, but the one who killed the monk and Bao Zheng It's obviously not alone, which is really weird.

Could it be that the murderer who killed the monk was with the person who wanted to kill Bao Zheng, so the person who wanted to kill Bao Zheng was able to make Hui Yuan's body disappear without a trace?

If so, things would be a little difficult.

Because Hwarang had to figure out where the murderer hid the body, who the murderer was, and who was the person who wanted to kill Bao Zheng.

If these monks hadn't killed Bao Zheng, then in the entire Qixing Temple, the only people who could have killed were Murong Qing and that couple.

After reading all the papers, Bao Zheng and Hua Lang hurried to the pilgrim's courtyard. The courtyard was very quiet at this time, and the autumn wind was blowing and it was cold.

Murong Qing stood in front of his house and looked at a bare tree in the courtyard, as if he also suddenly had the feelings of a poet, and wanted to use this to express his sadness in autumn.

But he didn't express his sadness. When he saw Bao Zheng, Hua Lang and others coming, he suddenly smiled: "Master Bao is fine, it's really a blessing for the people of Duanzhou."

Bao Zheng didn't say a word, Hua Lang sneered: "I'm afraid it's not your blessing, Murong Qing!"

Murong Qing was a little surprised, and said: "Young Master Hua, why do you say that? Could it be that I, Murong Qing, am not a Duanzhou citizen?"

Hwarang smiled slightly: "So what if it's the people of Duanzhou, so it's impossible for them to be the murderer?"

Murong Qing was even more frightened, and said again and again: "What do you mean by Mr. Hua, what kind of murderer?"

At this time, Gongsun Ce took a step forward and said, "We have made a thorough investigation. After the fire broke out and before Lord Bao was assassinated, all the monks were fighting the fire. Therefore, in the entire Qixing Temple, the only one who has the opportunity to assassinate Lord Bao You, Murong Qing, are with that couple, what else do you have to say now?"

Murong Qing opened his mouth very wide, but it closed it again quickly, and then smiled slightly: "It is also possible that the murderer is that couple. I have lived here for a few days, so it can be seen that their frequency is very small. At least, they eat in their own room even if they eat, don't Master Bao and Mr. Playboy, and of course, Mr. Gongsun, have they never become suspicious of them?"

When Murong Qing said this, Bao Zheng and Hua Lang thought about it carefully, and it was true. Except for the couple that Bao Zheng and the others had seen when Hui Yuan disappeared, they were both in the room at other times. Could it be that Is there really a murderer between the two of them?

But the injury on that woman's foot can't be fake!

Hua Lang thought for a while, and said: "Mr. Murong is really eloquent, but I think they are just an ordinary couple, so you are still very suspicious."

Murong Qing shrugged and said: "It's okay, if the young man really doubts me, I'll let you guys investigate. Anyway, I believe that the young man can't wrong a good person, and I am a good person."

A group of yamen servants guarded the courtyard of the pilgrims. Bao Zheng, Hua Lang and others entered the couple's room. The arrival of Bao Zheng and others surprised them both. The woman was sitting on the bed with no shoes on her feet. , but the injury has improved.

When they came in, Bao Zheng and Hua Lang obviously noticed the tension on the faces of the couple and the shaking of their eyes, so at this moment, Bao Zheng looked at the two of them and asked, "Will you two come to Qixing Temple?" For what purpose?"

This question was full of anger, which frightened the couple, the man suddenly returned to Bao Zheng, and said: "Lord Bao, please forgive me, everything is because of me, and it has nothing to do with Xiang'er, please Bao My lord, let Xiang'er go."

At this time, Bao Zheng, Hua Lang and the others knew that the woman with the injured foot was Xiang'er.

And when the man said that, Xiang'er also knelt down from the bed suddenly, and said: "I don't blame Brother Chong, I was the one who wanted to elope with him, please Master Bao don't blame him, I...I..."

Xiang'er couldn't continue speaking because it was too difficult to say, but at this time, Bao Zheng and Hua Lang seemed to have fallen from the clouds to the ground. They thought that the people who wanted to kill Bao Zheng were these two people, but they didn't expect that, These two people were just a man and a woman who eloped secretly without telling their parents, and they had nothing to do with Bao Zheng's assassination.

Everything is like a farce.
