Catching Monsters

Chapter 78 The sword comes riding the wind

The accident occurred in a Buddhist temple called Changxin Temple in the outer city of Beijing.

This Buddhist temple is not very big and is located in the southeast corner of the capital, but it has many believers.

Half a year ago, something strange happened.

Many pilgrims who went to the Buddhist temple to worship Buddha stayed in the temple's side rooms because it was too late.

There are many young ladies and ladies from wealthy families who go here to worship Buddha.

But what was strange was that gradually, some young ladies and ladies from wealthy families became inexplicably pregnant in the Buddhist temples.

The number of victims has reached fifteen.

And they all claimed that they had a strange dream in the Buddhist temple.

Then not long after returning home, she suddenly became pregnant.

After this incident, Changxin Temple became notorious.

Looking at the case recorded in the file, Jiang Yun frowned and couldn't help but say: "This case looks a bit weird..."

Xu Xiaogang, who was standing next to him, took a quick look and couldn't help but complain, "Captain Yang is really not nice. He wants us to solve the case?"

This strange unsolved case was naturally well-known within the Jinyiwei.

"How did we solve this case? To be honest, our Jinyiwei also sent people to Changxin Temple several times."

"But we couldn't find any evil spirits inside."

"We in the Jinyiwei have unanimously determined that it is possible that these wealthy ladies and ladies committed adultery with the lecherous monks in the temple."

"Among these fifteen people, many ladies and ladies jumped into the river or hanged themselves to prove their innocence."

"One of them was the wife of the censor. After this strange incident, the censor hanged herself."

"The censor begged His Majesty to make the decision, and His Majesty ordered us to conduct a thorough investigation."

"Later, our Jinyiwei arrested many monks from Changxin Temple, imprisoned them in the imperial prison, and tortured them severely. However, these monks claimed that they were innocent and wrongly accused, and we could not get anything out of them."

“Although Changxin Temple is not one of the five major Buddhist temples in Beijing, it is still considered a Buddhist temple after all.”

"The abbots of the five major Buddhist temples stepped in to save the lives of those monks."

Jiang Yun frowned as he listened to this information, and asked curiously, "What do you think? Do you also think that these ladies and ladies committed adultery with the monks?"

Xu Xiaogang shrugged and said, "Many of them are willing to die to prove their innocence, but the strange dream they talked about about getting pregnant..."

"It's not like we found any evil spirits in Changxin Temple."

Xu Suwen frowned and said, "This case is almost an unsolved case. It is difficult for us in the Jinyiwei to make a final decision, so it has not been closed yet."

"After all, it involves many dignitaries."

"If we say it was done by evil spirits, these dignitaries will save face, but it will be hard to explain to His Majesty."

"If it's not the work of evil spirits, then it means these ladies are colluding with lewd monks, and those high-ranking officials will definitely make trouble."

Hearing this, Jiang Yun looked down at the file in his hand, thinking: "Let's go take a look first."

"Okay, I'll get you a set of Jinyiwei clothes first."

"Don't wear it." Jiang Yun shook his head and said, "Let's just stay here as pilgrims for one night."

Xu Xiaogang was stunned and couldn't help saying, "Not wearing the Jinyiwei's Feiyu uniform? That's not how we, the Jinyiwei, investigate cases..."

Jiang Yun asked curiously: "Then how do you check..."

"We came to the door in flying fish clothes, arrested the people we should arrest, and tortured them until they confessed everything they should confess."

"I won't..."

"The fact that he can withstand the torture instruments in the Imperial Prison proves that he is truly innocent."

Jiang Yun's face darkened: "What if he was tortured into confessing..."

Xu Xiaogang scratched the back of his head. "He confessed everything. The case is closed. We get a raise, our boss gets a promotion, the captain looks good, and the commander-in-chief solves major cases in front of His Majesty. Everyone is happy..."

"Where's the prisoner..." Xu Xiaogang blinked and said, "He's dead. He's in the imperial prison. It's hard to get out without a strong background."

Xu Suwen, who was standing beside him, said, "Over the years, the Jinyiwei has been handling cases in this way. Don't be surprised... In many cases, the criminals will refuse to admit their guilt, and we have no choice but to use torture."

Jiang Yun thought about it carefully and could understand it.

In the past life, the public security environment was good, and solving cases required all kinds of evidence, which was based on the Sky Eye system and cameras spread all over the place.

Even so, there are still false and wrongful convictions.

Not to mention that in an ancient period like the Great Zhou Dynasty, many cases could only be handled in this way.

"Change into some normal clothes first and stay overnight."

"Row."

"Also, you have to change into women's clothes." Jiang Yun looked at Xu Xiaogang.

Xu Xiaogang: “???”

Jiang Yun said in a deep voice: "Since the people in trouble are all women, if we two grown men go, even if there is an evil spirit, it will not show up."

Xu Xiaogang clenched his fists and said with some humiliation: "Jiang Yun, impossible! This kind of thing is absolutely impossible! I will never wear women's clothes in my life!"

"I have another poem for you."

Xu Xiaogang shook his head repeatedly: "I'm telling you, if this gets out, I, Xu Xiaogang, will have no chance of living as a human being."

Jiang Yun walked outside with his hands behind his back, chanting: "I ride the wind with my sword to slay the demons between heaven and earth. With wine I am happy and carefree, without wine I am crazy. I drink up the rivers and lakes, and drink up the sun and moon. I can drink a thousand cups without getting drunk, because I am the only one who is the Sword Immortal."

……

Changxin Temple was built in the southeast corner. Half a year ago, this place was very popular, but now it is deserted and almost deserted.

Many pedestrians, passing by Changxin Temple, would take a detour, thinking that this place is unlucky.

A young monk was standing in front of the temple, sweeping the fallen leaves at the door with his head down.

At this time, a young man and woman walked slowly towards them.

The man was tall and dignified, with an air of scholar about him, while the woman next to him was wearing thick rouge and makeup, with hair hanging down to her shoulders, and wearing a black long skirt, with an extraordinary temperament.

The young monk looked at the girl and couldn't help thinking, what a pretty girl, and she's so tall...

Jiang Yun held the hand of the future Xu Jianxian and came to the little monk: "Little Master, we are here to burn incense for the Buddha."

The young monk was stunned and almost thought he had heard it wrong.

"Are you here to burn incense?" The little monk's face lit up with joy, and he said hastily, "I'll go call the abbot!"

Seeing the little monk running in happily, Xu Xiaogang frowned and whispered to Jiang Yun: "Jiang Yun, I tell you, if this matter gets out, I will definitely kill you!"

"Even my sister can't protect you!"

"Besides, what if..."

Jiang Yun smiled and said, "Look at you. Even if it's a lustful male ghost, you're a grown man. Are you still afraid of losing your virginity?"

"Me!" Xu Xiaogang gritted his teeth and glared at Jiang Yun fiercely.

At this moment, an old monk with a kind face walked out.

Xu Xiaogang immediately gave a faint professional fake smile.

"I am the abbot of Changxin Temple. You can call me Yunwu." The abbot stepped forward and asked, "What do you two want to ask for?"

"This is my wife. We came here to pray for a child." Jiang Yun said with a smile.

Abbot Yunwu frowned slightly and said, "Donor, recently in our Changxin Temple... it is best not for women to enter."

Jiang Yun said with a smile: "Abbot, I told you we are here to pray for a child."

"Right ma'am."

Xu Xiaogang forced out an ugly smile and imitated a woman's charming voice: "Hmm."
