Liu Lanyin brought Cui Yuanzao to Dongchanyuan. Just as she was about to go in, she was stopped by a fat monk at the entrance of the yard.
"Two benefactors, please stay. Amitabha, I am the Zhike monk of this temple, my name is Wuxin."
Cui Yuanzao clasped his hands together, bowed slightly and took out his talisman.
"Master Wu Xin. I am a commentator at Dali Temple and have been ordered to investigate the case."
Zen Master Wu Xin nodded with a smile: "It turns out to be Cui Pingshi of Dali Temple and Cui Shishi of Qinghe. Did Cui Pingshi come here for Lu Qian's case?"
"That's true." Cui Yuanzao looked at Liu Lanyin: "My fiancée is the wife of the Hongnong Yang family. She went to Beijing with Lu Qian for some reason, and was framed for Lu Qian's death. She suffered unjust injustice. I will definitely investigate to the end. "
Zen Master Wuxin also looked at Liu Lanyin: "But, I remember that the lady who arrived at the temple with Lu Qian was named Liu Lanyin?"
Liu Lanyin glanced at Cui Yuanzao secretly, feeling uneasy: "Master, I don't know, Liu Lanyin is a pseudonym I chose for the convenience of walking."
Cui Yuanzao was amazed by this ability to reverse right and wrong.
"I see, but even Mrs. Yang still can't do it." Zen Master Wuxin smiled and nodded, but his words still contained rejection.
"Cui Pingshi didn't know something. The Jingzhao Mansion has posted a seal here. If the poor monk opens it for you privately, if something goes wrong, isn't it all the monk's fault? Unless Cui Pingshi has the approval from Dali Temple."
This case was originally handled by the Jingzhao Mansion, but due to the "Fox Demon" case, the Jingzhao Mansion Prison was filled with people, so "Ms. Yang" was imprisoned in the Dali Temple Prison.
Even if Cui Yuanzao finds someone to operate it now, given the efficiency of Jingzhao Mansion, he may not be able to get the documents today.
He couldn't force his way in, so he could only smile and said: "Since we can't go in, I have a few questions to ask Zen Master Wu Xin."
"Amitabha, please ask Cui Pingshi."
Cui Yuanzao just made a calculation in his mind. A string of bracelets equals money. With the current popularity of the "Fox Demon" in Chang'an City, I don't know how many people will come to Zhao Jinggong Temple to watch the fun. After such a calculation, he has made a lot of money.
So, will anyone involved with this bracelet commit murder?
"Master Wuxin, I wonder who came up with the idea of the bracelet?"
"It's Master Abbot."
Seeing Cui Yuanzao's disapproving look, Master Wuxin said slowly: "I don't know Cui Pingshi, but this temple was a royal temple of the Sui Dynasty, but now it has changed its appearance. In order to gain a foothold in Chang'an City, the abbot master thought a lot about it." Method. Asking Lu Qian to repair the murals is also what the abbot meant."
"Why Lu Qian?"
This is a question that Cui Yuanzao has buried in his heart all morning. Although Lu Qian is somewhat famous in Jiangnan, he is not famous in Chang'an. According to Liu Lanyin, Lu Qian seems to be an alcoholic and can no longer draw.
"This is also what the abbot meant. I wonder if the donor knows the origin of the "Hell Transformation" in this temple?"
"A work by the painting sage Wu Daozi."
"Cui Pingshi only knew one thing, but didn't know the other. It is said that Zen Master Guangxiao of our temple asked Wu Daozi to paint "Hell Transformation" on the east wall of the third gate of Nanzhong, which is now the wall of Dongchanyuan."
"But when the unveiling was approaching, Wu Daozi could not draw a single stroke. Zen Master Guangxiao could only ask Huangfu Zhen to paint "Hell Transformation" on the west wall. Unexpectedly, within a few days, Huangfu Zhen actually and People got into fights and got beaten to death.”
Zen Master Wu Xin looked to the left and right, and when he saw no one else, he added: "It is said that Huangfu Zhen was so talented that he would definitely surpass Wu Daozi given time, but he died young."
Cui Yuanzao already knew what Wu Xin was going to say.
He had also heard of this rumor.
It is said that Huangfu Zhen was hired and killed by Wu Daozi. Later, due to his inner condemnation, Wu Daozi, who was originally unable to paint "Hell Transformation", completed the mural overnight.
The murals are so lifelike that everyone who sees them will fall into hell and suffer all kinds of suffering, just because the person who painted them has already fallen into hell.
But, what does this have to do with Lu Qian?
Before Cui Yuanzao could speak, Liu Lanyin asked anxiously: "Master Wuxin, even so, what does this have to do with Lu Qian?"
"Ms. Yang, I don't know. Lu Qian and Wu Daozi have quite a lot in common."
Liu Lanyin was stunned. What did Zen Master Wuxin mean that Lu Qian also hired murderers to kill people? But it doesn't look like that. Lu Qian doesn't look very courageous.
"How did Master Wuxin know?"
"There once was a monk from Yangzhou in our temple. After hearing about Wu Daozi, he talked about Lu Qian. Fifteen years ago, Lu Qian was in Yangzhou city with outstanding painting skills and was unparalleled in the limelight for a while, but later he also A young talent appeared out of nowhere and came from behind.”
"Coincidentally, that young talent was also named Huangpu. Huangpu was popular among the famous families in Yangzhou City, but soon after, Huangpu died inexplicably. It was said that it was at the hands of Lu Qian."
Liu Lanyin asked: "Even if it is Lu Qian's hand, what does this have to do with asking him to repair the murals? Doesn't it mean that Lu Qian has exhausted his talent and hasn't painted for a long time?"
As Zen Master Wuxin said this, he led Cui Yuanzao and Liu Lanyin to the side room to sit down and start making tea.
"As you can see, the abbot of this temple is very thoughtful. After hearing this story, he decided to ask Lu Qian to repair the murals. In this way, as long as the rumors spread, no one in Chang'an City would know How many people who like excitement are coming to see this mural."
Cui Yuanzao sat down and said, "Does Lu Qian know the abbot's plan?"
"I don't know about this. But now, the abbot master has achieved his goal, and there are indeed more pilgrims coming and going." Wuxin looked at the pilgrims coming and going, holding beads in their hands, and couldn't help but smile.
Liu Lanyin couldn't help but wonder to herself, was Master Wuxin trying to hint at something to them? Do you want to say that he killed someone for money?
Liu Lanyin felt quite uncomfortable and couldn't help but glance at Cui Yuanzao. Unfortunately, this man had no expression on his face, but he was sipping tea seriously.
"Good tea. I really bothered Master today. I will bother you again after I get the approval from Jingzhao Mansion tomorrow. Master, don't be offended."
Cui Yuanzao stood up from the table and bowed to thank Zen Master Wu Xin. Liu Lanyin also stood up.
"Amitabha, please go slowly."
"Master, stay."
Liu Lanyin couldn't help but look back at Zen Master Wu Xin. The tea on the table was steaming and rising, blurring his face.
When the two of them walked to the entrance of Zhao Jinggong Temple, Liu Lanyin couldn't help but ask countless questions that she had just been holding in her heart.
"Tell me, who is that monk? The master abbot and Master Wuxin seem to have different opinions? And are there any ghosts in the East Zen Monastery? Or who created this ghost?"
Cui Yuanzao frowned: "You are really noisy."
Liu Lanyin was very dissatisfied with Cui Yuanzao's high profile, "Huh, I guess you don't know."
Cui Yuanzao glanced at Liu Lanyin and said, "Ms. Yang, you run very fast, right?"
"What?" Liu Lanyin had a bad feeling.
"Please go to Yiningfang's practice to find Lingcong. He must get the approval from Jingzhao Mansion within today and bring the bad guys over. Then you must rush over before dark."
Liu Lanyin was furious: "Did you make a mistake? The carriage went back and forth from Yiningfang to Changlefang for almost a morning. It's broad daylight, can I fly?"
"This is your business, Mrs. Yang." Cui Yuanzao said coldly, "Otherwise, you can just go back to Dali Temple Prison and wait."
Liu Lanyin clenched her fists and looked at Cui Yuanzao seriously. She always felt that he had seen through her disguise and had not had an attack so far. There must be a reason for him.
It's her fault. She only thought that the guards in Dali Temple Prison were very tight. She was afraid that if she broke out of the Dali Temple Prison, she would alert the master and be caught by the master, so she had to borrow Madam Yang's jade pendant and identity, but she didn't expect to provoke such a person. God of Plague.
Liu Lanyin screamed in her heart: "Just wait for me."
Cui Yuanzao ignored her, threw her a handful of money, and entered the teahouse opposite.
"I'm back, come find me here."
