"Father! You don't have to worry about my homework! Why don't you tell me what case you're investigating first? Who knows, maybe I can even help! "
In the main hall of the Sun residence, Sun Zifan couldn't help but say when he heard Sun Fujia's reprimanding words.
Sun Fujia swallowed the food in his mouth and glanced at his son indifferently. Then, he said angrily, "You're always ignorant and incompetent. It's fine as long as you don't help. Who dares to expect you to help?"
"Pa!"
Without waiting for Sun Zifan to refute, Mrs. Sun was unhappy. She knocked on the bowl with her chopsticks and said unhappily, "What are you talking about? Our family's Zifan is also a student of Yanhuang College. His grades aren't among the best, but he's still above average. He's not bad compared to the other officials' children. How can he be ignorant and incompetent in your eyes? "
Sun Fujia was stunned by the question. In order to eat as soon as possible, he quickly begged for mercy, "Okay, okay, okay! Madam, you're right. My family's Zifan isn't ignorant and incompetent. He's a pillar of the country. Can this old man eat now? "
"If you want to eat, then eat. Who's holding your hand and not letting you eat?"
Mrs. Sun rolled her eyes in annoyance and said softly.
Sun Fujia suddenly choked. However, he had worked overtime at the yamen for so long. At this moment, his stomach was growling with hunger. He didn't have time to talk back. He could only turn his grievances into appetite.
Sun Zifan, who was watching from the side, couldn't help but secretly give his mother a thumbs up. He thought to himself that his mother still loved him!
After Sun Fujia ate a few mouthfuls of food, he didn't feel as hungry as before. At this moment, Sun Zifan said, "Father! Can you tell me what happened in the Supreme Court? "
Sun Fujia thought for a moment. Although under normal circumstances, the Supreme Court's cases couldn't be revealed to outsiders, that was only to prevent people related to the case from knowing the news in advance. Sun Zifan was obviously not one of them. So, after hesitating for a moment, Sun Fujia said,
"Speaking of this case, it has something to do with the Yamachō!"
"Oh? It has something to do with the Yamachō? "
Hearing this, Sun Zifan immediately became alert.
Sun Fujia nodded and said, "A few days ago, your Yamachō brought the Sky Pheasant Brigade to Xinfeng County and discovered that the manager of Yan Huang Bank, Jin Wanfu, had violated the rules by accepting bribes and lending money to local grain merchants. Hence, Jin Wanfu was arrested by the Xinfeng County Magistrate and escorted back to the capital!
Originally, Dai Shaoqing thought that Jin Wanfu was only guilty of this one crime. However, when Dai Shaoqing asked an expert from the Ministry of Revenue to investigate, he discovered that Jin Wanfu's account book actually had thirty thousand tang yuan missing. With such a huge sum of money, the whereabouts of it had to be investigated thoroughly. Thus, Dai Shaoqing re-interrogated Jin Wanfu!
However, Jin Wanfu refused to reveal the whereabouts of the 30,000 tang yuan. Dai Shaoqing could only lock him up in the Supreme Court's prison and slowly interrogate him! But who would have thought that last night, Jin Wanfu would suddenly die in his cell! "
"Sudden death? Father, how did he die? Could it be that his accomplice went to the Supreme Court's prison last night to silence him? "
Sun Zifan hurriedly asked.
Sun Fujia ate another mouthful of food and continued, "At first, we all thought that Jin Wanfu had choked to death, but then …"
… … …
Xinfeng County, Tian Long Temple.
Speaking of which, this temple was originally not called Tian Long Temple. It used to be called Tian Fo Temple. It was a temple that had been abandoned for a long time. However, ever since the people of Tian Long Sect came over, this temple had been tidied up and became livable again. Furthermore, it had changed its appearance and became Tian Long Temple. It was considered a small stronghold of Tian Long Sect in Chang 'an City.
"Venerable One, someone has sent a letter saying that it's for you!"
A man wearing a red shirt and a red headscarf came to the room where Shakya and Du E were. He took out a letter from his bosom and bowed.
Du E, who was meditating, opened his eyes and said lightly, "Put it on the table!"
"Yes! Venerable One! "
The disciple respectfully placed the letter on the table next to him and then retreated quietly.
Du E returned to his meditative state. After reciting a round of Buddhist scriptures, he finally opened his eyes. At this time, he got up and walked to the table. He picked up the letter and opened the envelope. Shakya held the letter in his hand with a calm face and began to read it carefully.
However, the calmness on his face instantly disappeared without a trace and was replaced by surprise and panic!
"The Supreme Court's people found out the cause of Jin Wanfu's death! How is this possible? "
Shakya's face was filled with disbelief.
"Hmph! This Venerable One had already told you to be careful and not leave any evidence. Now, it was really found out by the Supreme Court's people! You caused this disaster yourself, so clean it up yourself! "
At this moment, a man wearing an iron mask walked in from outside the house and said coldly without mercy.
Who else could this man be other than the Dragon Head of the Dragon Sect?
Shakya's expression froze, and his face no longer had the confidence and indifference from before. He bowed slightly and said, "Dragon Head, this poor monk really didn't expect the Supreme Court's coroner to be so meticulous in his autopsy. He could even find two needle-sized wounds in Jin Wanfu's body. Dragon Head, please calm down!"
"Calm down? Hmph! How do you want this Venerable One to calm down? "
The iron mask man snorted angrily and said, "You are the Venerable One of my Dragon Sect, and you represent the Dragon Sect. If this matter is found out by the imperial court, the Dragon Sect will suffer a disaster. Now, this Venerable One's layout has not been completed yet, but you have caused such a big mess. Hmph! This Venerable One did not kill you, which is already extremely benevolent to you! "
Shakya's body trembled, and he cupped his hands and said, "Dragon Head, this matter may not have reached the point of no return. First of all, the Supreme Court only found two needle-shaped wounds in Jin Wanfu's body, but they don't know who killed Jin Wanfu or what weapon killed him! In addition, this letter was sent to this Venerable One by the Supreme Court's Warden Ye Hong, proving that he has not betrayed the Dragon Sect. And the only one who knows this Venerable One's identity is him, so … "
Hearing this, the iron mask man turned to Shakya and asked, "So, you want to silence him again?"
"Dragon Head, this Ye Hong is extremely loyal to the Dragon Sect. If this Venerable One asks him out of the city, he will definitely come out. At that time, this Venerable One will kill him. Then, no matter how smart the Supreme Court is, they won't be able to trace it back to us!"
Shakya hurriedly said.
It was hard to imagine that such bloodthirsty and ruthless words came from the mouth of the Venerable Monk in the hearts of the people. If the Dragon Sect members were present, their faith would have collapsed immediately!
The iron mask man stood with his hands behind his back, frowning silently. After a moment, he said, "Although Ye Hong is loyal to the Dragon Sect, his sacrifice is worth it for the sake of the Dragon Sect's success! This matter will be handled according to your plan, but as long as you ask him out, this Venerable One will arrange for the assassins of the Earth Fiend Group to do the rest. You don't have to worry about it! "
Shakya knew that the iron mask man did not trust his ability to do things, and he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. But at this moment, he could not refute. He could only bow slightly and said, "This Venerable One obeys the Dragon Head's order!"
… … …
"Zifan, you brat, it's the weekend. Why don't you go out to have fun and stay at home? Let's go out and have some fun with our brothers! "
The next day, Di Zhixun, Li Tai, and Yuchi Bao Lin came to the backyard of the Sun residence and said to Sun Zifan who was lying on the armchair.
This armchair was originally created by Li Zexuan. Later, after people close to Li Zexuan experienced the comfort of the armchair in the Li residence, they all found craftsmen to imitate it. In fact, they also wanted to buy it directly, but there was no place to sell it, so they could only 'encroach' on Li Zexuan's' intellectual property '. Li Zexuan did not intend to use these things to make money. After learning about the situation, most of them just laughed it off and did not take it to heart.
"Zhixun, Qingque, Bao Lin? Why are you all here? "
Hearing this, Sun Zifan hurriedly stood up and looked at the people in front of him and asked.
"Of course we're here to have fun with you!"
Li Tai closed the folding fan in his hand very showily and then found an armchair nearby. After sitting down, he said, "Zifan, Chang 'an City has been very lively recently. I heard that a divine monk called Du E, who is the reincarnation of God and Buddha, has come here. He can use all kinds of magic. The people are talking about him like a god!"
Sun Zifan said with a look of disbelief, "Qingque, Yamachō said that there are no immortals in this world. This divine monk Du E must be a liar. The reason why so many people believe him is that his deception skills are better. Qingque, Zhixun, do you still believe this?"
Li Tai said carelessly, "It's not about whether we believe it or not, but the people have already talked about this divine monk Du E like a god. Isn't it a pity if we don't go and see for ourselves? Besides, if Du E is really a liar who fooled the people, we can expose him on the spot. Let's see if he dares to pretend to be a god and fool the people in the future! "
Di Zhixun nodded and said, "Qingque is right. We are all disciples of engineering. Naturally, we don't believe in the reincarnation of God and Buddha. This Du E either wants to use this trick to cheat money, or he wants to use the identity of the reincarnation of God and Buddha to bewitch the people for his use! No matter what the situation is, we can't sit by and let him continue to pretend to be a god! "
Sun Zifan frowned and said, "If you want to expose Du E's deception, you can go. Why do you have to drag me into it?"
Li Tai and Di Zhixun looked at each other and wanted to say something but stopped on second thought.
Yuchi Baolin was more straightforward. He scratched his head and said, "Zifan, we are here to find your father. Lord Sun is the Shaoqing of the Supreme Court and is very good at judging cases. He can definitely see what kind of trick Du E is playing at a glance!"
As it turned out, these people were not here for him, but for his father, Sun Fujia. At most, he could be considered as a dispensable accessory.
When Sun Zi Fan heard this, he immediately received a critical hit of 10,000 points.
"Hey! You are bad friends. I, Sun Zifan, am really careless in making friends! "
Sun Zifan pointed at Li Tai and Di Zhixun. Then, he changed the topic and said, "But if you want to find my father, maybe it's not the right time. An important case happened in the Supreme Court yesterday. My father is so busy investigating the case that his feet don't touch the ground. How can he have time to care about that monk Du E?"
"An important case happened in the Supreme Court? What important case? "
Di Zhixun was stunned and asked subconsciously.
Li Tai said in a deep voice, "It should be the case of Jin Wanfu's sudden death in prison, right?"
Sun Zifan asked curiously, "Eh? Qingque, how did you know? "
This was the information he had asked his father with great difficulty yesterday. But where did Li Tai find out about it?
Li Tai shook his head and said softly, "This morning, I went to the palace to pay my respects to Imperial Mother. Imperial Mother told me. She said that Imperial Father has been worried about this matter since yesterday!"
Di Zhixun was speechless. "What are you talking about? Why do Baolin and I not know anything? Can't you tell us more clearly? "
Li Tai looked at Sun Zifan and said, "Zifan should know more about the situation. It's better for Zifan to tell us!"
Sun Zifan thought for a while and then nodded. "Okay! I'll tell you about it, but you mustn't tell anyone else about it … "
Di Zhixun and Li Tai couldn't help but frown as Sun Zifan spoke. Yuchi Baolin, on the other hand, didn't have much of a reaction. His expression was still normal.
"There were no external injuries and five internal poisons. Only a needle sized hole was found in Jin Wanfu's throat. Moreover, the hole didn't completely penetrate the back of his head, so no wound could be seen from the outside! More importantly, the wound was found in the body, but the murder weapon was not found! Hiss! This case is really strange! "
Di Zhixun couldn't help but gasp in shock.
Li Tai had only learned from Empress Zhangsun that Jin Wanfu had suddenly died in the Supreme Court's prison, but he didn't know the details. After listening to Sun Zifan's story, he was also very shocked. After a moment of silence, he said, "The murderer's method is really strange.
If it weren't for Dai Shaoqing's keen observation and the Supreme Court's coroner's autopsy, I'm afraid Jin Wanfu would have really choked to death! "
Di Zhixun's eyes lit up as if he suddenly thought of something. He looked at Li Tai and hurriedly said, "Qingque, don't you feel that the murderer doesn't seem human?"
Li Tai was inexplicably stunned. He was also a smart person. After a moment's thought, he nodded and said, "Indeed, he doesn't seem human! He killed without leaving a trace, and there was no murder weapon. He didn't make a sound and treated the Supreme Court's prison guards as if they didn't exist. Such methods and abilities are really inhuman! "
Clap ~!
Di Zhixun clapped his hands excitedly and said, "Haha! That's right! "
Sun Zifan was confused. He couldn't help but jump up and down and said, "What do you mean right? What's right? You just said that you don't believe in ghosts and gods in the world. Why are you saying that the murderer doesn't seem human now? "
Di Zhixun laughed and said, "Haha! Zifan! There's no contradiction between what you said and what you said! We only said that the murderer doesn't seem human, but we didn't say that he's not human but a god! Also, think about it carefully. What kind of person doesn't seem human? "
Sun Zifan's face was full of black lines. He said angrily, "I say, Zhixun, just say what you want to say. Don't keep me in suspense!"
"Hehe! Alright then! I won't keep you in suspense! "
Seeing that Sun Zifan was about to go berserk, Di Zhixun smiled and explained, "What I mean is that the murderer's modus operandi is strange and doesn't seem like something a mortal can do. Isn't there a person who doesn't seem human near Chang 'an City right now? There might be some connection between the two! "
"You mean that monk Du 'e?"
Sun Zifan thought for a moment and understood. He widened his eyes and couldn't help but exclaim.
