Chapter 167: Monk Jiechi

The chief minister smiled and said: "Hey, it doesn't matter if Zuo Xiang doesn't agree. Then Zhao Zhengfeng is very capable of dealing with women. He has accomplished good things within a few days of knowing Zuo Xiang Qianjin."

"My daughter and my heart are both my family's. Is it okay if the Left Prime Minister refuses to agree? So it would be a scandal, so I hastily arranged a marriage for the two of them."

"Originally, it would be okay if that were the case, but no one would have thought that on the night when Zhao Zhengfeng and Zuo Xiang's daughter got married, Feng Yumian suddenly committed suicide by hanging from a beam."

"Did he really commit suicide, or was he tampered with?" the Imperial Master asked again.

"The interesting thing is here. The official autopsy proved that Feng Yumian hung himself from the beam, but the compassionate lady of the Jiaofang Department said that Feng Yumian definitely did not commit suicide."

"Why did you drag Lady Lianxin into this again?"

The Imperial Master frowned.

Lady Lianxin has a close relationship with the outer deacon of Ziwei Dao Sect. If that person is involved, the matter will be complicated.

"According to the information we got, Lady Lianxin likes to be alone. She doesn't have many friends in Jiaofangsi. The only one she has a good relationship with is Feng Yumian."

"It is said that Lady Lianxin came to help Feng Yumian redeem herself three years ago."

"According to Lady Lianxin, after Feng Yumian was divorced by Zhao Zhengfeng, although he was in a bad mood, he couldn't be said to be heartbroken."

"And after being enlightened, he has agreed to go out with Lady Lianxin, so it is absolutely impossible for him to commit suicide. Therefore, Lady Lianxin suspects that Feng Yumian was killed by Zhao Zhengfeng."

"But this statement is just a one-sided statement made by Lady Lianxin. There is not enough evidence. In addition, Zhao Zhengfeng is already the son-in-law of the left prime minister, so the government did not accept it. Yesterday, it was directly determined that Feng Yumian committed suicide."

"But no one expected that just last night, Feng Yumian, who was obviously dead, would actually appear in Zuo Xiang's mansion."

"According to the servants in Zuo Xiang's Mansion, they all went to bed yesterday when they suddenly heard Zhao Zhengfeng's screams."

"When the servants rushed over, they saw Zhao Zhengfeng, who committed suicide by hanging from a beam, and Qianjin, the Prime Minister of the Left. It is said that the two men died in a ferocious manner. They said they committed suicide by hanging from a beam, but they looked more like they were frightened to death."

"At that time, the servants also saw a woman walking out of the room. It was Feng Yumian who was obviously dead."

"It's just that compared to the beautiful oiran lady she once was, Feng Yumian's face is now pale and bloodless, and her eyes are extremely cloudy. She is basically a corpse."

"But the corpse was able to move around on its own and even write. At that time, Feng Yumian took a writing brush and wrote on the ground the evidence of the crimes of Zhao Zhengfeng and the daughter of the left prime minister."

"It turns out that Feng Yumian did not commit suicide, but he was not killed by Zhao Zhengfeng. The murderer was actually the daughter of the left prime minister."

"Because the daughter of the left prime minister relied on her dignity and could not accept her husband, who had been married to someone else, so he sent someone to kill Feng Yumian."

"The servants were all frightened at that time. They just watched Feng Yumian writing on the ground, and no one dared to stop him."

"And after finishing writing, that 'Feng Yumian' left and didn't hurt anyone else."

Having said this, the Chief Minister asked: "National Master, I think that 'Feng Yumian' may be manipulated by someone behind the scenes using puppetry. What do you think?"

"Puppetry?"

The Imperial Master nodded: "It's very possible, then who do you think is the most suspicious?"

"If we are talking about suspicions, the most likely one is Lady Lianxin. After all, she is the only one who has a good relationship with Feng Yumian and has the most motivation to do this. But the problem is..."

"The problem is that Lady Lianxin is just an oiran from the Jiaofang Division and doesn't know the magic of immortality, right?"

"yes!"

The chief minister smiled bitterly and said: "It's not that I haven't doubted that Lady Lianxin is actually good at magic, but she usually hides her clumsiness deliberately. But you also know that she has a close relationship with that person, and I really don't dare It’s easy to check her out.”

"Besides Lady Lianxin, have you found any other suspects?"

"Not yet, but I have sent people to investigate. I hope to find other clues."

"By the way, where is the Left Prime Minister?"

"I left the city and went to Zenxin Temple on Feilai Peak. I should be looking for Zen Master Jiechi."

"After all, you also know that in today's Jin Dynasty, if there is anyone who is not afraid of the outer deacon of Ziwei Dao Sect, or can even overpower him, I am afraid that the only one is Zen Master Jie Chi."

"Why did Zen Master Jie Chi get involved again?"

The Imperial Master felt a headache, always feeling that something big was going to happen in the capital next.

That Zen Master Jie Chi came to the capital more than half a month ago. It is said that he is a disciple of Sansheng Zen Temple, one of the six major sects.

As soon as Jie Chi came to the capital, he occupied the Chanxin Temple on Feilai Peak outside the city and became the leader of the Buddhist sect in the Jin Dynasty.

In the name of Zenxin Temple, he sent an order to Buddhists all over the world, asking all Buddhist disciples to help him find a white fox.

"Hey, one Ziwei Dao Sect is not enough. People from Sansheng Chanyuan are also here. If these two parties confront each other, won't they turn the entire Jin Dynasty upside down?"

"Now I just hope that there will be no conflict between the two parties. Otherwise, no matter who suffers, it will not be a good thing for the Jin Dynasty."

The Imperial Master shook his head: "Okay, just investigate these two cases first, and report any progress at any time. As for other matters, just take it step by step."

"Yes, Master Imperial Master."

The chief minister handed over his hand, turned around and went to inspect the scene.

The Imperial Master left Shangshu Mansion.

"I don't know why the Zen Master Jie Chi wants to find a fox?"

"Hey, I hope this matter won't cause any big trouble."

The national teacher walked forward.

But suddenly, he saw a familiar figure in front of him.

"Mrs. Lianxin, why is she dressed like this?"

On the street in front, a woman was walking with the crowd all the way out of the city. It was Mrs. Lianxin.

But unlike the white clothes like snow in the past, Mrs. Lianxin now wore coarse linen clothes and her hair was wrapped in a headscarf. If you don't look carefully, you will think she is an ordinary woman.

"There was a murder yesterday, and she is actually going to leave the city dressed like this. It can't be such a coincidence. Could it be that she really killed Zhao Zhengfeng and the daughter of the left prime minister?"

"No, there is no evidence to prove that she did it. If she leaves suddenly like this, won't people think she is guilty? She shouldn't be so stupid?"

"Looking at her, it seems more like she is avoiding someone. Is someone chasing her?"

The national teacher was wondering, and suddenly he lost sight of Lady Lianxin.

He was about to look for her, but heard a Buddhist chant behind him: "Amitabha, this is the national teacher of the Great Jin Dynasty, Fellow Daoist Chi Yunzi?"
