Great Lawyer

Chapter 561 is Good News ([-])

"I think I have something to talk to you about." Du Jiuyan was curious.

Xuanwu limped over, stood in the fence with folded hands, stared at Du Jiuyan, and said in a cold voice: "The Great Zhou Dynasty started, and since the patriarch, it has spread Buddhism. I have been in Zhongshan Temple for half my life. There is no one inside or outside the capital who does not know this old monk."

"It's not like you can dictate something and come up with a few plausible evidences, and you can do something to this old monk."

"You have to think clearly about the impact of interrogating the old monk and interrogating so many monks."

Xuanwu recited a sentence of Amitabha, "Benefactor Du, I don't know where I offended you, and asked you to use such means to slander me and so many monks, but I still advise you here, the Buddha's Dharma is boundless, and you will be right when you turn around."

"If other masters say this, I will definitely listen carefully and study it carefully. Tell me, why do I find it so funny." Du Jiuyan said: "Do you know what I found in the temple today?"

Xuanwu frowned, and immediately guessed that Du Jiuyan must have discovered the secret in the Buddha statue.

Because in the entire temple, only those few Buddha statues have secrets at all.

"What?" Xuanwu asked.

Du Jiuyan said: "Mr. Shen and I found ten corpses!" Du Jiuyan said: "Look, how do you explain these ten corpses?"

Sure enough, she found out!
Why only mention the dead body?

Xuan Wu suddenly understood that the remaining gold and silver in the Buddha statue must have been embezzled by this kid.

Can be really cruel.

Xuanwu stared at Du Jiuyan, like a poisonous snake waiting for an opportunity, after a while he calmed down, and said: "Why are there corpses, those Buddha statues were sent to the temple by pilgrims!"

Du Jiuyan was amused by his surprised look.

She shouted at the monks behind Xuanwu: "I found out that there are corpses hidden in your Buddha thread. It is really shocking that ten corpses are hidden in fourteen Buddha statues."

As soon as she finished speaking, the monks behind Xuanwu suddenly turned pale with fright, but then they each regained consciousness.

Don't worry about the money inside at this time.

You have to save your life first.

"I can't believe it, I can't believe it," Xuan Wu said with sincerity, "Please ask Mr. Du to check and return my innocence."

Du Jiuyan said: "You should make a wish for Shen Daoru to find out." She got up and went to the railing, and whispered to Xuanwu: "Guess, what method will I use to kill you?"

Xuan Wu said: "I'm afraid Mr. Du doesn't have this ability."

"That's right, let's wait and see." Du Jiuyan was about to leave, then remembered again, "I forgot, I didn't come here to show off to you, but to ask you something."

Xuan Wu's heart skipped a beat and he looked at her.

"Are you familiar with Jing Ya?" Du Jiuyan asked.

Xuan Wu showed no expression, "I know, but I can't say I'm familiar with it. Could it be that Mr. Du wants to use Jing Ya Chong's case to kill me, then I'm afraid it won't be easy for you."

"Then Shen Daoru and Jing Ya are familiar with each other?"

Xuanwu said: "I don't know about other people's affairs."

"Okay, I'll just ask a random question." Du Jiuyan waved his hand while saying, "Let's go, see you in court."

Xuan Wu looked at Du Jiuyan's back and gritted his teeth.

"Abbot, our money was swallowed by this unscrupulous litigator?" A little novice posted up, distressed.

Xuan Wu glared at the little novice, and said angrily: "What matters outside of money and wealth is life at the moment."

"Yes." The little novice said yes, and sat back obediently.

Xuanwu meditated with his eyes closed, feeling a dull pain in his heart.The tomb robbery was done by them a few years ago. There are not many big tombs in and around the capital these few years. They also plan to wash their hands and use the money for retirement.

Unexpectedly, Du Jiuyan took the blame.

The hateful thing is that he can only swallow this loss alive, and dare not mention a word.

It's really annoying.

Du Jiuyan waited in Qian Yu's room for a while, Qian Yu just came out of the palace, saw her and said: "I am going to send someone to invite you."

"The matter of the ten corpses has only been reported to the Holy Majesty by the official."

Du Jiuyan asked, "What does His Majesty mean?"

"What the Holy Majesty means is that since the body has been found, the murder case should be the focus. As for the matter of sending Zi Tang, we can keep it a secret." Qian Yu said: "The impact of this matter is too great."

What Zhao Yu thought was the same as what they thought, Du Jiuyan said: "Although the identities of all the deceased have not been specifically found out yet, it has something to do with sending son decoction."

"If this is the case, it is inevitable that it will spread." Du Jiuyan said: "Your Majesty has mentioned that if it is spread, what are the measures to deal with the aftermath?"

Qian Yu shook his head, "If that's the case, then we can only interrogate behind closed doors."

"Wait until the facts of the case are confirmed before announcing the murder." Qian Yu said.

Du Jiuyan should say, "After the identity of the deceased is found out, we can set a date for the opening of the church."

Qian Yu nodded.

Du Jiuyan went to investigate the peddler who provided wine and meat to the temple, and invited him to live with Fat Rou, Da Zhuang and others in a courtyard outside the city.

After five days of investigation of the ten corpses, it was confirmed that three of them were couples. As everyone expected, they were all husband and wife.

Among the three couples, one of them died in the seventh year of Shuntian four years ago, and the other two were in the ninth year of Shuntian. Du Jiuyan took the files back from the investigation and looked through them. He just read only two pages. Shen Daoru is here.

"Have you found out the identity of the deceased?" he asked.

Du Jiuyan didn't raise his head, "Mr. Shen, wait a moment, I haven't finished watching." He said again: "Have you found out the origin of the Buddha statue?"

"I found it." Shen Daoru said: "The fourteen Buddha statues were all made by a craftsman in Daxing. His statues are 20 years old. Mr. Du can check them himself. I have asked the guards to bring them back. "

"Bring back two people, him and his apprentice."

Du Jiuyan looked up at Shen Daoru, "Mr. Shen is very confident. It seems that the evidence is found on these two people?"

The Buddha statue reminded her, she forgot about it.

"Yes." Shen Daoru said: "Mr. Du can also search for it, maybe it will be useful to you."

Du Jiuyan nodded, "Since that's the case, I'm really going to look for it."

She said, and gave Shen Daoru the file in her hand, "Mr. Shen read it slowly, I'm looking for evidence."

Shen Daoru watched her go out, while he sat down and looked through the file carefully.

The three couples in the file, after the surrounding investigation, among them, the two couples who died in the ninth year of Shuntian got the testimony from their neighbors that they were eager to seek children, but there were no couples in the seventh year of Shuntian. Not only did they not have any, they also had a pair of children .

"Not bad." Shen Daoru looked at the file and smiled. The result of this investigation is very beneficial to him.

Du Jiuyan returned to the cell, and the two clay sculpture craftsmen brought back by Shen Daoru just now were sitting in the cell with panicked faces.

Two people, one old and one young, the old is the master, about 50 years old, his face is full of vicissitudes, the eyelid of the left eye is a little drooping, when looking at people with the right eye, the young is about [-] years old, wearing gray and white brown clothes, The short trousers fell on the calf, looking very honest and honest.

"Du Jiuyan, what do you call me?" Du Jiuyan asked standing outside the cell.

The old master hurried over and said, "Mr. Du, my name is Zhou Mingjia. This is my apprentice and my nephew. My name is Zhou Jin."

"You made all the Buddha statues in Zhongshan Temple?" Du Jiuyan asked.

The Zhou family nodded, "Yes. I know Abbot Xuanwu. They have pilgrims making Buddha statues over the years, and he will point me here."

"When was the first Buddha statue you made for Zhongshan Temple?"

Because Shen Daoru had already asked the same question just now, it was no longer necessary to think about answering the Zhou family now, "It has been about ten years, and the first emperor was still in power at that time. It has been at least 15 years."

"Is that Buddha statue still there?"

The Zhou family shook their heads, "I don't know about that. But when I went to Zhongshan Temple to give away Chance Buddha statues, I didn't see the ones made more than ten years ago." He looked back at Zhou Jin again, "Have you seen ?"

Zhou Jin also shook his head, "According to Mr. Shen's description, the fourteen Buddha statues should have been made in the past ten years."

"Yes, the old man used to like to make standing statues, but later changed to sitting ones." The Zhou family said.

Du Jiuyan nodded, "Then do you know the reason why Shen Daoru invited you here, and why you were imprisoned."

Both the master and the apprentice shook their heads, "Mr. Shen didn't say anything, didn't he ask us to testify?"

"No," Du Jiuyan told them about the corpse hidden in the Buddha statue. The master and apprentice were dumbfounded, and the Zhou family realized the seriousness of the problem. "Impossible, how could we kill people and hide the corpse inside."

Du Jiuyan looked at the master and the apprentice, and said, "Then, after the Buddha statue is formed, can the corpse still be put in?"

"No, you can't." The Zhou family shook their heads and said, "This is definitely impossible."

Du Jiuyan looked at them helplessly, "It's about your lives, think again."

"But, but we don't know." The Zhou family said: "Mr. Du, we just... just make Buddha statues, we will make Bodhisattvas if others want them, and we will do whatever others want. We have never said that we put people in it, It's so surreal."

"Mr. Du, you have to trust us."

Du Jiuyan said: "Now it's not just that I believe in your affairs."

"Think about it again." Du Jiuyan left the cell with his hands behind his back, leaving the master and apprentice looking at each other.

After leaving Dali Temple, Aunt Du Jiuyan turned to Pipa Lane. Mrs. Chai was coming out of Cui Qiao's house with an empty basket in her hand. When she saw her, she said happily, "Mr. Du, guess what."

Du Jiuyan looked at her, "Did Aunt Gao divorce?"

"Yes!" Mrs. Chai said: "I got a small house and took ten taels of silver. Now she lives there alone."

"I moved in yesterday, and we helped her clean up the house together. Although the house is not big, it is enough for her to live alone. She said that she will help others wash clothes in the future, and there will definitely be no problem with the money for meals throughout the day. Although the days are hard, but I feel at ease.”

Du Jiuyan nodded, "That is indeed a good thing, congratulations to her."

"Yes, it's really the best thing recently." Mrs. Chai said, "Mr. Du, when will Cui Qiao's case be tried?"

"She was forced to have no choice but to be sentenced to beheaded if she had nowhere to go to kill someone?"

Du Jiuyan said: "It's hard to say now, it will depend on the situation after the class opens."

"Amitabha, it would be great if Cui Qiao could come back safe and sound. In this world, good people don't live long, and scourges last for thousands of years. Thinking about it makes my teeth itch."

Du Jiuyan nodded, and after seeing Mrs. Wang and Xiaobao with Mrs. Chai, Du Jiuyan went back to the palace to rest.

Early the next morning, she checked the birthplaces and dharma names of all the registered monks, and then left Beijing with King Gui and the cripple.

　Yesterday, a girl asked why Shen Daoru accepted the lawsuit without screening. I explained Shen Daoru to her and I won’t talk about it here.But her question reminded me of something, a question I saw on a certain website when I was looking up information.It's had a huge impact on me.

　　Someone asked: If a lawyer knows that the client has violated the law but does not hand over evidence, is this considered a violation of professional ethics? (For example, the client lied and did not kill, but his lawyer found key evidence of his murder during the investigation.)
　　That is, when there is a conflict between professional ethics and ethics, should professional ethics take precedence or morality first?

　　Here is an answer: Morality is the morality of most people. When there is a conflict with professional ethics, professional ethics should be given priority.

　　When I saw it, I dragged Lao Li into an argument for a long time, and I didn't get an answer because of my lack of knowledge.
