Tang Dynasty detective

Chapter 717
"The poor monk is here to explain this matter." Hui Guang said, reciting the Buddha's name.

Li Canghai nodded, and after stepping away from the left and right, he started talking with Huiguang.

After hearing Huiguang's words, a trace of disappointment flashed in Li Canghai's eyes.

"Benefactor, what's the matter with you?" Hui Guang asked when he saw that his expression was a little strange.

Li Canghai sighed, and said: "It's nothing, this time I have Master Lao."

"Amitabha, why should the benefactor and the young monk be polite? If the benefactor hadn't invited him, how could the young monk have met Master Yixing? This time, I have benefited a lot from the lectures and discussions with Master Yixing. This is all due to the kindness of the benefactor." Huiguang said together.

Li Canghai half-jokingly said: "Master, monks and nuns are all empty. What you said is a bit flattering. From the point of view of Buddhism, it is inferior!"

Unexpectedly, Huiguang became serious. He recited the Buddha's name and said earnestly: "What the benefactor said is very true. It is the little monk who has a picture. The little monk has studied Zen for 18 years, but he is not as good as the benefactor once enlightened. The little monk is ashamed!"

Saying this made Li Canghai feel a little embarrassed.

He hurriedly grinned and said, "Master, don't take my nonsense. I'm just an ordinary person. I can't realize the Tao, and I can't achieve great things. Even if I have the Tao, it's just nonsense. I hope the master will not blame me. "

Huiguang shook his head and said: "Benefactor Li is humble. From the perspective of a young monk, Donor Li has deep roots of wisdom and a bodhisattva heart. His future achievements will surely have a bright future."

Li Canghai smiled disapprovingly, and said, "Fame and fortune are nothing but fleeting things, and Canghai doesn't care. The only thing that matters to a certain person is the truth."

While speaking, a carrier pigeon suddenly flew down from the sky.

The carrier pigeon fluttered its wings and landed on the wooden frame in the yard.

"Master, please come in and serve tea. I'll come as soon as I go." Li Canghai glanced at the carrier pigeon and said to Huiguang.

"Benefactor, please go ahead, the little monk is going back to Da Ci'en Temple, so let's take my leave." Hui Guang said.

"Since this is the case, Cang Hai won't keep him anymore. I hope Master can stay in Ci'en Temple for a few more days. After Cang Hai settles his own affairs, he will definitely go to brew tea and discuss the Tao with Master." Li Canghai said.

"My little monk welcomes the almsgiver at any time." Huiguang clasped his hands together, chanted the Buddha's name, and then turned and left Dali Temple.

Just as Huiguang walked to the door, he encountered Di Qing bouncing up and down.

"Huh, Master Huiguang? Why are you here?" Di Qing asked in surprise.

"It turned out to be Miss Di. The little monk came to do something for the benefactor Li. Now that the task is over, the little monk is going back to the Daci'en Temple." Huiguang saluted slightly.

Di Qing snorted, and said, "Master, it's rare to come here once, so why is he in such a hurry? I know there is a restaurant in Chang'an City, and the vegetarian food there is very delicious. Why don't I ask Cang Hai to invite you to eat!"

"Thank you Miss Di for your kindness. I have important things to do when I come to Daci'en Temple this time, and I really don't have time. I hope the girl will forgive me if I offend you. If I go to the White Horse Temple next time, I will definitely meet you." The above-mentioned good vegetarian food treats the girl." Huiguang said.

Di Qing stroked her beautiful hair, blinked her eyes a few times, and sighed: "Well, if that's the case, then I won't force others to do so, Master, go slowly."

"Amitabha, thank you Miss Di." Huiguang bowed to Di Qing and left Dali Temple straight away.

After sending Huiguang away, Di Qing bounced to the Dali Temple.

"Canghai, what are you doing?" Di Qing asked curiously when Li Canghai took out a note from the thin bamboo tied to the pigeon's leg.

Li Canghai read the note once, then put it away, and said, "It's nothing, by the way, why are you here?"

Di Qing smiled and said, "I don't trust you, so I came here to see if there is anything I can do to help you."

"How did you handle that matter?" Li Canghai asked.

"Don't worry! Ningxiang has been sent to the palace by me. The imperial concubine loves Ningxiang very much, and she is watching her perform shadow puppetry!" Di Qing said with a smile.

"Did she read my letter to Ningxiang?"

"Before entering the palace, I gave the letter to her. I asked her before the gate of the palace, and she said that she had written down everything said in the letter." Di Qing blinked, and suddenly asked: "Cang Hai, can you tell me, what are your plans?"

Li Canghai smiled, and said, "What ideas can I make? A simple-minded person like me will make other people's ideas?"

"Cut, I despise you!" Di Qing made a contemptuous gesture towards Li Canghai. "By the way, Cang Hai, why is Master Huiguang here?"

Li Canghai walked to the side of the stone bench and sat down, and said: "Master Huiguang has been in Chang'an for more than half a month. I also investigated Wang Bao's matter last time, and I met the master by chance in Dali Temple. I have encountered some confusion this time, so please The master came to answer my questions for me."

"I see. By the way, what happened to the case we encountered this morning?" Compared to Huiguang, Di Qing seemed more interested in the murder case.

When the murder case was mentioned, Li Canghai frowned immediately.

"What's the matter, Cang Hai? Looking at your frowning face, could it be that there is still a murder case that can make it difficult for you?" Di Qing asked in surprise.

Li Canghai shook his head and said: "In the past murder cases I have encountered, the murderer killed for various reasons, such as Lu Zhongtong's hatred, Ling Ji's jealousy, and Yu Chengen's revenge. Unless the murderer suddenly arises , killing people at random, otherwise there would be a reason for killing people. But this case makes me unable to figure it out. "

"Is there anything you can't figure out? Tell me, maybe what you can't figure out, I can think of it! Don't forget, I'm very smart!" Di Qing laughed playfully.

Li Canghai thought about it for a while, and felt that it made sense, as the saying goes, one person counts against one's shortcomings, and two counts against one's strengths.

Maybe Di Qing can really see the key.

Li Canghai nodded, and then described the whole case to Di Qing.

After listening to this, Di Qing's eyes widened, filled with disbelief.

"You said that old man killed his whole family?" Di Qing asked, covering her mouth.

"This is the strange thing. As far as I know from my investigation, this old man has always been a well-behaved man, and his family is very harmonious, but he killed his own family. This is really incomprehensible." Li Canghai touched Jaw, mused.

"Poor, what a poor family!" Di Qing sighed a few times and said, "According to what you said, since there is no reason, could it be caused by sudden madness?"

"Judging from the situation at the scene, it was indeed a sudden madness. But it is puzzling why he went mad. Besides, there is another thing that is very strange. The head of the workshop who lives near Bai's house only listens to I heard the sound of tables and chairs falling, but I didn't hear any shouting, which is totally unreasonable." Li Canghai pondered.

"Well, this is indeed a bit strange. Judging from the situation you described, the old white man's behavior seems to have lost his mind, like a beast!" Di Qing propped her chin and frowned.
