One Step to The End

Shuanghu County is located near the main roads of Gyeonggi. Although the population of hundreds of thousands is not too large, the degree of wealth is beyond doubt. , The prince wants to abolish her, she has to think about it.

"Prince Concubine! You go home to give away your spirits, and Chang Di Ji will go with me..."

Zhao Guanren yelled while riding on the horse, and Changdiji immediately jumped out of the carriage and jumped on a white horse to run alongside him. At this time, they had entered the Shuanghu county town. Not only was the gate closed by a large number of officers and soldiers, but also the surrounding villages and towns. .

"Big head! Lead the way to the east of the city..."

Zhao Guanren led only fifty dragoons, and the rest were stationed outside the city. Although the sun had not yet set at this time, but few people were seen on the main road. The common people were afraid of getting into trouble, so they hid at home and watched them. The horse gallops.

"I have circled a few suspicious locations, Minister Qiu and they should still be searching..."

Lv Datou is familiar with the road, and the city is not too big for hundreds of thousands of people. At most, it is only a district of a small city. After running for ten minutes, you can see the gate at the other end, but Qiu Ning is Very careful, specially arranged for dragoons to meet on the side of the road.

"Your Highness! Minister Qiu and the others are in the west, please follow me..."

Two cavalrymen led them to the west, and soon they came outside a temple. A large number of officers and soldiers were carrying out a carpet search. From a distance, they could see Qiu Ning standing outside the temple gate, Yuan Laosan leaning close to her. Joking, Qiu Ning frowned impatiently.

"Master! You are here..."

Qiu Ning suddenly smiled and jumped down the steps, rushed to the side of the road and held Zhao Guanren's horse. Zhao Guanren jumped down and laughed, "Qiu Meiren seems to be very popular!"

"It's disgusting to me, Yuan Laosan follows me like a fly..."

Qiu Ning said disdainfully: "At first, he paid a lot of money and tempted him. Seeing that I was unmoved, he started to threaten him. He said that he would exchange me with ten beautiful concubines for one night. The sixth prince and Er Nan were both doing business. It has nothing to do with his family!"

"Isn't this a good thing, how happy it is to do things with idiots..."

Zhao Guanren smiled and walked to Yuan Lao San, and said: "Lao San! Don't copy your hands and smirk. It's delayed your dad's big business. Beware that he takes your skin off, but after the event is over, you have to be a hostess, so big. Your father will definitely reward you for the credit!"

"Ah? What credit..."

Yuan Laosan looked at him dumbfounded, Zhao Guanren quickly looked around, and said in a loud surprise: "You are not a decoration, you don't know such an important thing, hurry up and let the person in charge come and see me! "

"Lord Zhao! What can I say to the next official..."

A middle-aged civil official walked over to salute, but Yuan Laosan kicked him away and said angrily: "Is there a place for you to talk? Come and interrupt everything. This place is Sanye and I am in charge. Don't let me. See you again, or military law will deal with it!"

"Oh~ Little Sanye is so majestic, I really have grown..."

Ye Jier walked over with a smile, and the dismissive attitude made Yuan Laosan even more annoyed. He quickly pulled Zhao Guanren aside and said anxiously: "Brother Zhao Xian! I came out in a hurry and didn't talk to my father. Tell me again!"

"Don't mess it up, it's not a trivial matter..."

Zhao Guanren pretended to hesitate for a moment, and then whispered in the ear for a while, only to see Yuan Laosan nodded in shock, and said in a low voice: "Don't worry, I never dare to be sloppy when it's done. When I return to Beijing, I will be the host, my brother-in-law!"

"Brother Uncle! Be sure to keep a low profile. The outsider is called Master Ma..."

Zhao Guanren patted him on the shoulder and walked into the temple. Yuan Laosan immediately called the guards and ran away. Zhao Guanren chuckled at Qiu Ning and said, "Look, how happy it is to have fun with fools. It's a pity that there is a big one here. Fool, otherwise I will be overwhelmed!"

"Hehe~ Ning'er has been taught again..."

Qiu Ning smiled and followed him into the temple. Who knew it was a nun's nunnery. More than 20 nuns gathered in the temple, closed their eyes and concentrated on meditating and chanting. The officers and soldiers were searching the ground. The bluestone slabs were all pried open.

"Poor in front of the temple, rich in the back of the temple, widows emerge from the left and right of the temple, let's go and take a look at the back..."

Zhao Guanren made a circle around, but found nothing unusual, but just about to enter the Buddhist hall to take a look, he suddenly asked, "Qiu Ning! Where did Ji Xiaoshou go?"

"Master Ma!"

Ji Xiaoshou suddenly walked in from the door and said angrily: "How come the poor monk is a **** guy? Which eye do you see that I like men?"

"Oh, it turns out that the monk likes women, it's Amitabha, kindness, kindness..."

Zhao Guanren exaggeratedly stood up with a single palm, the angry Ji Xiaoshou blushed, and waved his hand: "Nothing! The poor monk is asking for hardship with you, but the poor monk disagrees with Minister Qiu's point of view. This is a Buddhism. In a clean place, how can you hide death and harm people!"

"The master just came here and didn't know it, this is not a clean place..."

Ye Jier also came with the Sixth Prince. The Sixth Prince said: "Many people reported that there was a glamorous nun who secretly traded skin and flesh under the guise of consecration. It is said that the prince's nephew Zhang Shugui, Friends with the surname Zhou have also appeared here many times!"

"Can there be evidence? Your Highness can't listen to the wind but the rain..."

Ji Xiaoshou opened his hand a little angrily, and the Sixth Prince said: "If this kind of thing is not caught, it will naturally be denied. However, since there are many people reporting to the official, it means that it is not a rumors and slander, and the two deceased's bookboys Said that after the two entered the temple, they would go straight to the back hall!"

"Let me see!"

Zhao Guanren strode to the front of the Buddhist hall and looked at more than 20 female nuns with peach blossom eyes. Although some female nuns are no longer virgins, it is not surprising. There are many nuns who become monks halfway through, and at most they are three times. experience.

"Which is the hostess, please come out and tell..."

Zhao Guanren stood politely outside the door, arching her hands, and an old nun stood up from the futon and walked out sadly to salute.

"Master! Are all the nuns here? Are there any laymen..."

Zhao Guanren stared at her carefully, while the old nun shook her head and said, "As the saying goes, there are many rights and wrongs in front of the widow’s door. The same is true when we are in the city. In order to avoid gossip, we never leave outsiders to stay overnight here. No one will do that dirty thing!"

"You can see! All the masters are true Buddhist disciples, don't worry about gossip..."

Zhao Guanren bowed respectfully and asked: "Are there any nuns who have fled privately recently, or some laymen in this secret meeting with outsiders? Some people say that Zhang Shugui and Zhou Gongzi often come here, and they will go straight to the back hall when they come. , Can this matter?"

"That's true! But it's not going straight to the back hall, but the vegetable garden..."

The old nun said: "There is a niece in Zhang's house. Because her father is seriously ill, she is here to practice on her behalf. I think she has a beautiful appearance, and her six roots are not clean, but it is not easy to refuse Mrs. Zhang, so she let her live alone in the vegetable garden. A young man often visits her, and the rumors may be because of her!"

"Where is this woman? What's her name..."

Zhao Guanren hurriedly stepped forward, and the old nun replied: "Zhou Xiaolin! She finished her practice more than two months ago, and she heard that she died of tuberculosis!"

"From the Zhang family, where is Zhou Xiaolin..."

Zhao Guanren strode to the entrance of the temple, and a steward ran over and said, "In return, Zhou Xiaolin is my grandfather and niece. She contracted tuberculosis during her practice here and was buried in the middle of last month!"

"Take me to Zhou Xiaolin's grave, and all the epidemic prevention brigade will be launched..."

Zhao Guanren pulled him up and ran out, Ye Jier and the others looked at each other in surprise, and hurriedly chased him out and got on the horse together.

Who knew that Zhou Xiaolin's tomb was outside the city. It took more than half an hour to reach the bottom of a mountain. The entire mountain was the cemetery of the Zhang family, and there were special guards outside the cemetery.

"Boss! It can't be here..."

Lu Datou jumped off his horse and said: "We have been riding horses for more than half an hour, and we have to walk for at least more than an hour. But the two little dead ghosts are both on foot, and the city gate will be locked at night. Even if they can go out. Someone has to open the city gate!"

"Look at it first..."

Zhao Guanren followed Guan Shi to the mountain. The Zhang family was buried in the best location in Feng Shui. The big family for hundreds of years has buried countless people, but the relatives can only be buried on both sides. Zhou Xiaolin's tomb is inconspicuous. Next to the bamboo forest.

"Not this! Go into the woods and have a look..."

Zhao Guanren walked into the bamboo forest with Lv's head, but it was almost dark and nothing was found. But when he walked out, he found that Zhou Xiaolin's tomb had not been worshipped for a long time, and grass had grown on the tomb.

"Didn't Zhou Xiaolin have a very good relationship with your son? Why don't you come to worship if you die..."

Zhao Guanren looked at the manager of Zhang’s house. The manager shook his head and said that he didn’t know. So Zhao Guanren went around the graveyard again, and suddenly found a rabbit hole behind the grave. He took out a flashlight and took a photo inside, and he saw the damaged one. Coffin board.

"The epidemic prevention brigade comes up and digs up the grave for me..."

Zhao Guanren extinguished the flashlight and shouted, but the words stunned everyone, and the steward exclaimed: "My lord! Never do it. Without the permission of the Zhou family chief, how can you open the coffin without permission? Knowing that something has happened!"

"I'm not digging their family's ancestral grave, I will be responsible for something..."

Zhao Guanren pushed him away carelessly, and the epidemic prevention brigade was naturally unambiguous, holding a shovel and other tools to go up the mountain to dig the grave.

Ye Jier asked suspiciously: "Could it be that Zhou Xiaolin cheated on the corpse in the tomb, and the death anger that emanated just made the two boys smell it?"

"I will surprise you guys, don't go away..."

Zhao Guanren pushed a few steps away and took the oil lamp. A dozen people quickly dug up the grave bag, revealing a new dark coffin, but something had already dug a hole on the side, and everyone suddenly exclaimed. The nest bamboo rat got out of the coffin unexpectedly.

"Catch it! This is game..."

Zhao Guanren hurriedly stepped on a big fat mouse. Others looked at him like a lunatic, and even Lu Datou said disgustingly: "How disgusting a mouse eating a corpse, you let it go!"

"Open the coffin! Let them look at the corpse..."

Zhao Guanren grabbed the bamboo rat and waved his hand. The steward rushed to plug in some sandalwood. Ji Xiaoshou even went forward and chanted the curse himself. The anti-epidemic team members often dealt with the corpse and put on masks and gloves. Pry open the lid of the coffin.

"Boom~"

The lid of the coffin suddenly slid to the side, and everyone's eyes burst together. Not only was there no bones in the empty coffin, but there was not even a burial item or clothing. Ye Jier went forward and said in shock: "How is the empty coffin? , Where's the corpse?"
