Chapter 466 Jiuliu Bamboo Garden ([-])

"At that time, I bought vegetarian meat here." The abbot pointed to the entrance of the vegetarian restaurant. "Several vegetarian dishes were sold that day, and there were seven or eight rows in line."

Du Jiuyan stood at the door of Suzhai Hall and looked around.

This area of ​​the mountain was allocated by the imperial court to Fahua Temple. Going north from Su Zhaitang, there is a slope. There is a latrine at the bottom of the slope, and there is a muddy mountain road further down. Halfway up the mountain is the vegetable garden of Fahua Temple. She pointed out that He looked down and said: "Go straight down, can you go down the mountain and return to Beijing?"

"If the other party is a girl, I'm afraid it will not be easy." The abbot said: "Go straight down from here, and walk up to the foot of a cup of tea. We blocked the fence. Firstly, we are afraid that the livestock and wild animals in the mountains will come in and spoil the vegetable garden. , and the second is that the place below is not the Fahua Temple."

"Surrounded on all sides?" Du Jiuyan asked.

The abbot nodded, "It's surrounded on all sides. The fence is as high as a person, with thorns tied to it. We hire people to repair it every year."

Du Jiuyan was going to go down and have a look.

Side by side with Suzhai Hall is the meditation room, five or six steps away, there are rows of single rooms, and believers can live in them for free after donating sesame oil money.Going forward from the meditation room is a large courtyard where the monks live in the temple.

There are 62 registered monks in Fahua Temple.

"Does anyone usually go there?" Du Jiuyan asked the abbot where they lived.

The abbot said: "It's hard to say, but the courtyards are closed during the day. Do you want to go and see, Mr. Du?"

"Okay, just walk around."

A group of people walked south, and Du Jiuyan found that the gate of the courtyard was indeed closed. Further south, there was a bamboo forest. The bamboo forest looked very large. She asked, "Where do we go down here?"

"Going down here is Jiuliu Bamboo Garden, where Mr. Jing lives. Jixian Academy is also below." the abbot said.

Du Jiuyan didn't expect that, she thought Jixian Academy was in the capital, "are they connected to each other?"

"It's clear." The abbot said: "There is a small gate, and the old man often goes to sit in the bamboo garden. The road is specially paved with stone bricks. The road is still easy to walk, about a stick of incense."

Du Jiuyan said: "So, Jiuliu Bamboo Garden is not close to the capital."

"Go out of the city and walk south along the city wall. It's much closer there." King Gui said, "People who go to Jixian Academy all go that way."

The abbot nodded, "Most people don't know this road, only the old monk and Mr. Jing often come and go."

Du Jiuyan showed the original expression, and turned around to ask the little novice who followed, "Where did the Li family look for when they came to look for it?"

"I know." Yang said: "I came with me on the second day of junior high school. I walked down the vegetarian hall and came to the fence. The fence over there is all good. If I don't, I will definitely not be able to get through."

"I also went to the academy. The academy is on spring break, and there are no students in it, and there is no one in the bamboo garden. Mr. Jing returned to his hometown in Baoding years ago."

The abbot nodded, "There will be no one in the bamboo garden and the academy during the new year."

"Let's go and have a look. The last time Mr. Jing invited me to be a guest in Zhuyuan, I have been busy and haven't been there yet. This time, while Mr. Jing is not around, I secretly went to find out." Du Jiuyan said with a smile.

The abbot said: "Do you want me to accompany you?"

"No need." Du Jiuyan said with a smile: "We can just walk around by ourselves, and we will come back later."

King Gui said, "I know the way."

Abbot should be.

Du Jiuyan thought for a while, and then asked the little novice, "Masters, does anyone have any impression of Chuntao?"

The little novice shook his head, "There were too many people that day, and everyone was so busy that we didn't have time to pay special attention to anyone."

Just as Du Jiuyan was about to speak, she heard a few ear-piercing cries, and a few crows were resting on the branches behind the Suzhai Hall. She frowned and said, "Let's go to the bamboo forest."

Each road is paved with stones of different sizes. Although it is going down the mountain, it is still easy to walk. King Gui is very familiar with it. Du Jiuyan turned to look at the lame man, "Are you going to walk this road?"

"Pass," said the lame man.

Du Jiuyan raised his eyebrows, and King Gui looked back at him, sizing him up.

"My lord, you don't need people to check me anymore." The lame man said, "I'm an anonymous person, you can't find me."

King Gui said: "As long as this person really existed, it is impossible not to find out." After a pause, he continued: "Or, you can take the initiative to tell me."

The lame man smiled, "Then you should continue to check."

King Gui snorted.

He has indeed been investigating the origin of the cripple, but it is strange that the traces about him all started in Shaoyang. He appeared next to Du Jiuyan, and then entered the Shaoyang Yamen as a police officer.

Before that, there was no trace of him.

Who has the ability to wipe out his past.

"Brother Lame is too mysterious." Cai Zhuoru laughed and said, "We know everything about us, but we don't know anything about Brother Lame."

The lame man said: "You can go and investigate, I will never stop you."

"Speak seriously," Du Jiuyan interrupted their conversation, "continue to talk about Chuntao's disappearance."

King Gui smiled, and glanced at the lame man triumphantly. In Du Jiuyan's eyes, it was improper to talk about the lame man.

"Ninth brother, you said that the disappearance of Chuntao and the basket are... the same person?" Dou Rongxing said with his heart pounding. It would be terrible if it was done by one person.

Du Jiuyan said: "It's hard to say now, but the basket and Chuntao have one thing in common."

Everyone looked at her.

"They are all widows." Du Jiuyan said.

Chuntao is a child bride-in-law. Although she is not married yet, she is already the wife of the dead son of the Li family in name.That son died, and she is the widow of the Li family.

"If it is a person, then this person has been greatly stimulated psychologically." Du Jiuyan said: "For example, his wife once betrayed him, for example, his own mother is a widow. After a major After the incident, he hated widows spiritually, so he specifically targeted widows."

"It makes sense." Cai Zhuoru said.

Du Jiuyan shook his head, "I'm just guessing. Comparing the disappearance of Basket and Chuntao, we still have no clue."

"Aunt Yang," Du Jiuyan asked, "Do you know Basket, the widow of the Liu family, her maiden name is Yu."

Yang shook her head, "I don't know. Why, is this basket girl missing too?"

Du Jiuyan spoke briefly, and said, "...and I can't find anyone now."

"No, it can't be." Yang said: "If this is really the case, then wouldn't Chuntao be in danger."

Du Jiuyan didn't speak, and the group arrived at the base of Jixian Academy.

Jixian Academy is smaller than she imagined, it doesn't cover hundreds of acres, with more than a dozen classrooms, but just a big courtyard with the words Jixian Academy hanging outside it.

Regardless of the degree of luxury of the building and the size of the land, it does not show that it is a top private academy in Dazhou.

"Although it is small, four important cabinet ministers and countless third-rank officials will go out from here." King Gui looked at Jixian Academy and said calmly.

Du Jiuyan was full of envy, "It's amazing. Mr. Jing is full of peaches and plums. Apart from the sage, he has the most disciples in the civil and military courts."

"Almost." King Gui said, "Even if he didn't go out from here, I'm still willing to worship him as a teacher."

"He is indeed very knowledgeable." The lame man said, "He has made achievements in all aspects."

Du Jiuyan was full of admiration.

The door of Jixian Academy was closed, and they walked west along the path for a cup of tea, and they saw Jiuliu Bamboo Garden.

In the yard of five rooms, flowers and plants are planted in the front and back of the yard. There is a small reading pavilion in the yard, with tables and chairs on it, and a kitten squatting on it to take a nap and bask in the sun.

"My lord!" A little book boy greeted him from the yard, "Mr. Du, hello, gentlemen."

"Are you here to see my husband? He has returned to his hometown in Baoding for the New Year." The little book boy said with a smile, "But we are still here. If you want to come and drink tea, I will boil water and make tea."

Everyone looked at Du Jiuyan.

"We came here to find someone. They came along the Fahua Temple. Just take a look around and don't bother me." Du Jiuyan said.

The little book boy was very generous, and he didn't feel any panic at seeing the current prince. "Who are you looking for? We've been here for the past few days. Please tell me, sir. I'll ask if anyone has seen it."

"Then I have to work." Du Jiuyan looked at Yang, and Yang hurriedly stepped forward to describe: "It's a little girl, taller than me, thin and dark, with big eyes, and there is a spot on the left eyebrow. A mole, wearing a purple padded jacket and black padded trousers, with a bun and a wooden hairpin."

Yang's words were very detailed, the little book boy listened carefully, nodded and said: "I haven't seen this girl, I'll ask my brother."

As he spoke, he went in, and after a while, four little bookboys of about the same age came out with him, and they all clasped their hands together and said, "None of us have ever seen such a girl, I'm really sorry."

"However, if you are looking for her, we will help to look for her around here later."

Du Jiuyan cupped his hands and said, "Then I'll be fine. If you see her belongings, go to Sanchitang in the city and tell us."

"Definitely." The book boys said.

Everyone didn't stay any longer, but went back to Fahua Temple and went down the mountain from the other side of Su Zhaitang.

"There are a lot of footprints on the road, so it can be seen that someone has walked here."

Yang said: "The one we were looking for that day should be the one who stepped on us."

A lot of vegetables and radishes were planted on both sides of the road, and some Du Jiuyan didn't know, and they were lush and well-raised.

Soon the fence came, made of bundles of bamboo and twigs tied into the soil, and bound with thorny brambles.

The abbot was right. It was really difficult to climb over the fence.

Du Jiuyan compared it, and the height of the fence was already higher than her head.

It's not easy to get out from here.

Du Jiuyan walked back and forth for more than ten meters, and her feet were covered with mud. She stopped and looked at the crowd, and said, "Report to the officials, and search Fahua Temple carefully."

"What do you think is bad luck?" King Gui asked.

Du Jiuyan nodded.

If Chuntao wanted to escape, according to Lu, she would have a chance to pack up and leave every day.

There is absolutely no need to bother.

The most important thing is that this is not the first person to go missing, and he can no longer be like a basket, with a fluke mentality.

Shan Dequan came very quickly, brought dozens of policemen, and started searching.
