The Four Great Cases of Wu Zetian

Chapter 44

Di Renjie of Jinluan Temple bluntly said that Wu Sansi of Baima Temple was embarrassed

But Empress Wu heard that Di Gong played Huaiyi to deceive Wang Yushu's daughter-in-law. Please send an order for him to investigate and deal with it. Find out the facts, then it will be more difficult to recover.If the warning is given suddenly, going to Huaiyi will definitely suffer hardships. If such a flowery and jade-like man is tortured, how can I bear it?What's more, I can't blame Huaiyi for this matter, because Xue Aocao, Zhang Changzong and others are always in the palace, so I forget him, so that his heart is burning and it is difficult to stop.This matter can only be pushed on others.If he became serious in seeking truth from facts, then he would have no choice but to preach the will and forgive him.At that time, the answer was: "Di Qing's family played, and Wang Yushu beat the drums to call for grievances. Although the lonely family didn't know that Huai Yiguo had such a thing, but this temple was built by the former emperor, and the widow agreed with the god's wish. I occasionally went to burn incense and see Huai. Righteousness and dedication to practice, he is worthy of the disciples of Buddhism, so he was appointed as the abbot of this temple. Since this matter happened at this time, it cannot be ignored because he is an imperial monk. At that time, the country’s system was ruined, and the Dharma was ruined. The school secretary’s family is a person who understands, and should also know the opinions of the widow. This time, I will go to Wang Yushu’s daughter-in-law to investigate clearly and order her to hand it over. If the rest can be forgiven, Seeing that he is a monk, please forgive me a little bit." Di Gong cursed in his heart: "This ignorant and stupid king, above the Golden Palace, ordered me to forgive him in violation of the law. Since I was ordered to go, I was not afraid of your selfish intentions at the time, so I had to play a copy, otherwise there would be no laws of heaven and the state." Then he played: "I am determined to follow the holy will of the body! If Huaiyi is really illegal, I have to read it temporarily. It's getting heavier."

At that time, when he was about to retreat from the court, the official of Huangmen suddenly said: "There is a report from Huaiyi, the abbot of Baima Temple, that someone in front of the mountain gate has killed two female corpses, and the head is missing. Specially appointed someone to report to the official, please transfer to perform. Hearing this, Wu Zetian wondered: "Could it be that Huaiyi is really a reckless act! The two women were deceived by him to commit adultery and refused to follow, so they killed him, and instead they came to report my fate? Now that Di Renjie is in the court, how do you do it?" Can you cover it up?" Immediately he said angrily: "The White Horse Temple is a temple built by imperial edict, who dares to commit murder here? If it is not strictly enforced, the law will be in place! And there are guards at the gate of the mountain, monk Jinghui, don't you hear it! Could it be that he did something wrong? Why do you blame Huaiyi?" Duke Di understood in his heart that he didn't play any more at that time, so he received the decree and withdrew from the court.

Let's talk about how Huaiyi knew that there was a dead body in front of the mountain gate?It's just because he and all the child prostitutes messed around in the dark room for half the night, taking turns to change, but Wang Daopo didn't like it.At first glance, the jade pestle is like steel charcoal, there is really nowhere to put it.When it was three o'clock, he still didn't come, and wanted to have an affair with Yushu's daughter-in-law. Seeing her crying and cursing like that, he was afraid that she would desperately seek death, so he gave up his delusions.Until the fourth watch, I wondered if the Taoist woman would not come, so I had no choice but to grab a few Taoist boys. After a while, I managed to light the fire, and finally felt uncomfortable. I'm good to go! She knows that I can't make it through, but she won't come. It's not far from her nunnery, you take me to find her, and see what happens to her there. Could it be that she met another wonderful person and is reluctant to come?" Those child molesters were all talkative and obedient, and then three or four people came out of the dark room.Then he pulled the copper bell and opened the secret door, suddenly a round object, like a watermelon, rolled straight down from the slope of the platform, which surprised everyone.All looked forward with concentration, screamed in astonishment, before they could yell out, they fell to the ground again.Huai Yi hurriedly said: "What's the matter with you?" The man was frightened already, but he heard that he said: "Human, human, human head!" Huaiyi looked carefully, it was a bloody head, and at that time his soul flew into the sky, he was busy Shouted: "The heroes in front come out quickly, there is a murder case here."

It turned out that the manhole outside the threshold was surrounded by four thieves from the green forest, who were guarding there. There was nothing to do during the day, and they only stayed here at night. Fearing that someone would come and fall into the pit, the four of them went forward and hacked to death.Hearing Huaiyi shouting at this moment, knowing that something had happened again, he pulled up the brass bell and opened the secret door, it was still the same, something the size of a watermelon rolled down from it.The first person was looking up and walking, and accidentally rolled on his head, he was startled, but he didn't know what it was, so he fell and rolled over.But he felt his forehead was cold, so he wiped it with his hand again, but he didn't want to look at it. He raised his hand again and saw that it was bright red human blood. He hurriedly said, "This is strange." " The four of them didn't understand why, so they had to gather up together, crossed the threshold, and went back to the dark room inside. They saw a person over there who had fainted from fright, and hurriedly said: "Don't panic, this will be done by the enemy. And he is a hero, so he has the courage to do this.And take a lampstand to shine a light on to see who it is. Huai Yi hurriedly moved the candlelight, this scare was no small matter, he hurriedly said: "No, no, it's not good, it's Wang Daopo who was killed by someone!"My darling, you died so bitterly, how can I survive this? The big man said: "Don't make a fuss, you know I still have a head over there."Let's see clearly together, and then think about who the murderer is. "Speaking in the past, the two took the head. Everyone saw that it was the partner of Dao Po. Huai Yi said: "It is obvious that the two of them came and were killed by the enemy halfway.How did this happen? "

In the midst of the commotion, he suddenly heard another yell from the front, saying, "Come out quickly from inside. Now at the gate of the mountain, kill two corpses. I don't know where they came from. This is not a joke, it's about human life!" Huai Yi The listener said: "It's not good! This is clearly Jinghui screaming, could it be that Mr. Zhao was also killed?" The four partners heard this and hurriedly said: "As long as the murderer is here, we are not afraid of him fleeing to heaven. , I'll go and capture him."

After finishing speaking, the four of them were like flying, passing through and jumping vertically, and reached the front.Seeing that Jinghui's face was ashen, and she was still shouting there, she hurriedly asked, "Master Jing, where is the murderer?" Jinghui said, "I was waiting for the Taoist woman inside the mountain gate with Mrs. Zhao, but she didn't come. Because the weather was bad Early in the morning, just about to relieve myself, I went out to have a look alone. I saw a big man with two things on his shoulders, and he fell in front of the archway. I was about to go up to ask, but the man yelled: "You will see you off when you come." Dog's life!' I saw him holding a bright knife in his hand, he was frightened and made a somersault, and passed out. After a while, he just woke up, and the man had disappeared. So he came and shouted, wondering what is going on inside of us?" Four Everyone said: "This is strange. There are only two heads inside. Could it be the same person as the corpse in front of the mountain gate? Let's chase after it.

"The four of them held their weapons and rushed out of the mountain gate. They saw two corpses lying in front of the card room. When they looked down, they saw two female corpses. They knew that their bodies were divided into two parts. The four of them searched around for a while. There was no one there, so I had to go back to the temple, come inside, and tell Huaiyi.

Huai Yi said: "What should we do about this? If he comes again tonight, how can there be so many people guarding against it? It can be seen that this man is very capable. One person killed two people, and he dared to send the head inside. No one knew it. He missed us. He knows all the inside things. How can we do this?" The four said: "Why are you so afraid? At this time, hurry up and send someone to Wu Sansi's Yamen to report this matter. It is almost dawn now, please go up immediately Dynasty, playing "Mingwu Empress, sent a decree to the nine admirals of the Yamen of the Ministry of Punishment to take the murderer strictly together.So vigorous and resolute, are you afraid that he will escape?This head, quickly buried behind him.Let's say it was a headless murder case, after the murder elsewhere, the body was moved in front of the temple, intentionally dragged to kill.After listening to this performance, Empress Wu has no reason not to do it! "After hearing this, Huaiyi became very assertive, and immediately ordered people to enter the city quickly. Unexpectedly, when he arrived in the city, Wu Sansi had already gone to the court, and the man only got to the official of Huangmen to report this matter, and asked him to play on his behalf immediately.

At this time, Wu Hou retreated to the court and hurriedly ordered Wu Sansi to enter the palace, saying: "Huaiyi has done this, and now it is Di Renjie's memorial to the widow. He is an old minister of the late emperor, and the lonely family is a little afraid to see him. This matter If the truth is found out by him, it will be a disaster. Wang Yushu's accusation has not yet been understood, and another murder case is committed. Wouldn't it be impossible to save people? Go to the White Horse Temple first at this time and order him Put all the crimes on Jinghui, and the lonely family can be reunited." Wu Sansi was originally one of them, and when he heard that Di Renjie was in charge of this matter, he was also worried about Huaiyi. Riding out of the city, I flew to the White Horse Temple from the small road.

After getting off the animals, I saw the corpses of two women lying in front of the mountain gate. Dijia and others were guarding there, but there were still many people coming and going, crowding there to watch.Wu Sansi feared that there would be discussions, so he entered the mountain gate and went straight to the inner hall.It was Huaiyi who talked with everyone, saying that he ordered people to go, why he hadn't come back yet, and he didn't know what happened to Empress Wu.Suddenly seeing Wu Sansi rushing in, he was overjoyed, and hurriedly said, "please sit down, please! What should we do if this incident happened in the temple?" Happy, do you know that someone has sued Master?" Huai Yi said: "What do you mean? Who sued me?" Thinking twice, he said seriously: "This is the secret decree of Empress Wu. Now Wang Yushu is beating drums at the old Diyuan Gate to complain about you. He tricked his daughter-in-law Li into trapping him in the back room, and ordered him to pay 5000 taels by false imperial decree. Just now, when Lao Di went to court, he played the Empress Wu of the Ming Dynasty. Qizuo said, "The two people were killed in front of the temple. This is obviously because you refused to obey. After a while, Lao Di came to testify. Empress Wu specially ordered me to come and push you on Jinghui. After that, things will get better." Huaiyi was quite surprised when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "Isn't this wrong? Wang Yushu accused me of this. Although there was such a thing, it was because I hadn't entered the palace for a long time, so I acted recklessly for a while. You can know who killed him." , not some ordinary people, but Wang Daopo from Xinglong Temple. You know about the incident between her and me, how could you bear to kill her? What should I do?" Wu Sansi: "Anyway, Empress Wu is the master. It's not a big problem, but you can't argue with him. In the past, Zhang Changzong and I suffered a lot from him, let alone you are a monk. Although this personal relationship is in the Inside, I know I can’t say anything outside. I can’t sit here for a long time. If he came to face each other twice, it would be unbeautiful. What happened after he came, I just ordered someone to deliver a letter to me so that I can go to the palace to play again. This place You can't sit for a long time, he comes in and walks in the front hall, ask him to sit up, so as not to show his whereabouts." Saying this, he hurriedly got up and left, and then he walked out of the mountain gate, looking at the path coming.

Unexpectedly, there were gongs to clear the way ahead, and many people came in one after another, and many people stepped aside in unison, saying: "The governor Di Renjie is here, and we will have a test in a while." Seeing that Di Gong had arrived, Wu Sansi had to stand aside and squeezed Inside the crowd.Who knows that Di Gong had seen it in the sedan chair long ago, and cursed in his heart: "This guy must have some secret decree to preach righteousness when he comes here. I will detain him here and let him see it with his own eyes. Only then will there be no change." " Then ordered people to live in the sedan chair, walked out of the sedan chair, and shouted loudly: "What is Mr. Wu doing here? Is it possible that you are afraid that the lower officials will show favoritism, and the test will not be true, and you will watch from the side?" Wu Sansi was called twice by him. , I couldn't turn my face away from each other, so I had to go forward and answer: "The lower official went to the countryside because of his own business. He passed by here and came here to have a look. My lord is an upright official, so why be suspicious? My lord, please go to work, and the lower official will resign immediately." " Seeing him like this, Di Gong smiled in his heart and said, "You are so clever, how can you go when you come!" He hurriedly said: "I am afraid that one person will not be able to take care of me, so I want to invite a trusted adult to do this together. It's a matter. Since the adults are here, and please do the same inspection, it doesn't matter if you delay for a moment.

"Wu Sansi was just in a hurry, knowing that he intended to bind him, he hurriedly said: "My lord came here according to the order, and the subordinate officials did not follow the order of the master, so why dare to go too far. " Di Gong said grimly, "you have not been ordered to handle this case. Could it be possible to come here in private?This is a very important matter, why are you here at this time without news?It is reasonable to repay the king's kindness to eat the king's salary, so why favoritism and abolish the public and not handle the affairs of the country?Although the decree has not been followed today, and the more one is divided, the old man will report all the crimes to the Holy One, and he will be punished at his own request.If you don't handle this case here, then you intend to deceive the king! "Wu Sansi was robbed by him, but he couldn't answer, so he said: "How dare you do this, my subordinate?"It's fine to accompany the adults. At that time, the two entered the mountain gate together. Someone had written to Huaiyi earlier.

Huaiyi is usually arrogant, no matter who you are, he will not come out to greet him, but now there is something wrong with his heart, and Di Gongqing is upright, no one knows, he has already been afraid in his heart, so he came out to welcome him, and stood in front of the hall.After meeting Di Gong, after the ceremony was over, he was invited to sit down in the front hall, and Huaiyi also took his seat.At that time, Di Gong shouted: "Who are you? How dare you sit with the imperial envoy? That's the end. You can see that there is no discipline. You are the abbot of Chijian on weekdays. You are a little lenient. You dare to deceive women from good families into the temple! This court is ordered to investigate and deal with it." , you are the leader of the criminals, you still don’t kneel down to me, tell the truth! Where is Wang Yushu’s daughter-in-law now? There are two people outside the mountain gate, when did you kill them?” Huaiyi’s whole body was frightened by these words. war.I don't know what will happen next, let's see the next chapter.
