Chapter 344 Monks Who Don't Lie
Lu Guogong left because he was in a hurry to report the newly discovered clues to the Emperor.
The monk who crossed the sea suspended the trial for the same reason.
The matter involved the Zhongzhou faction and Prince Jing Xin, so how to proceed with the trial is no longer a matter for these people in the field to decide.
Officials from Taichang Temple and Qing Tiansi, as well as representatives of various sects, left Taichang Temple one after another.
Daze and other sects were a little gloating, Kunlun and other factions were a little worried, and more small sects wished they hadn't appeared today.
Zhang Yiai couldn't leave naturally, and was taken into a wing of Taichang Temple.
The Monk Duhai sat on the futon outside the door, which meant to take care of it himself.
Looking at the skylight coming in through the window, Zhang Yiai thought of many things.
He has been away from Yunmeng Mountain for many years, and the scenery and characters in the mountain have become somewhat unfamiliar. In comparison, he is more familiar with the people and things in Chaoge City, and he is more familiar with his identity as the commander of the Qingtian Division, not anything else.
He is also familiar with the smell of undried paulownia lacquer on the windows of the wing.
All the buildings in Taichang Temple were rebuilt on top of the ruins. He personally supervised the construction and completed it in only seven days.
The door of the wing room was pushed open, and Yue Qianmen walked in.
Zhang Yiai was a little surprised, it was only reasonable for the other party to come to see her, but why didn't Du Haiseng stop?
"Master is willing to give Zhongzhou face and agree with me to persuade you to tell the truth."
Yue Qianmen looked at him and said, his eyes were extremely cold.
What he wanted to express was naturally completely different from what he said.
Zhang Yiai said blankly: "What exactly do you want to say, brother?"
Yue Qianmen's eyes became colder, and he said silently: "Are you crazy? How can you implicate the Prince's Mansion?"
"I was doing my best as an official in Chaoge City, but you asked me to keep doing things for you..."
Zhang Yiai stared into his eyes and said: "Later, I was asked to help you send people to the Demon Suppressing Prison. Have you considered my situation?"
As soon as he opened his mouth, Yue Qianmen's face became extremely ugly, his eyes were slightly cold, and he motioned for him to shut up quickly.
But Zhang Yiai didn't intend to stop, and said: "The people you sent to the Devil's Prison caused such a big problem, do you still expect me to carry it alone?"
Yue Qianmen couldn't bear it any longer, and shouted angrily, "Do you know what you're talking about?"
Zhang Yiai looked into his eyes and said calmly: "If the death of Dragon God is related to that person, do you know what it means?"
Yue Qianmen opened the door and walked out, glanced at Duhai Monk on the futon, knowing that the other party had heard everything, and left angrily.
Du Haiseng slowly opened his eyes and said, "I will write these down."
Zhang Yiai walked to the door, raised her front and sat on the threshold, and said, "Master Hard Work."
...
...
That night, Chaoge City, which had just calmed down, ushered in another turmoil.
The hooves of the cavalry of the Divine Guard resounded like thunder in the city, and the streets were vibrating uneasy, as if something had happened again in the Devil's Prison.
The Qingtian Division was brightly lit, and the officials stayed up all night, sorting out the files and starting self-examination.
All the clues found by the officials pointed to a certain place, so hundreds of guard cavalry directly surrounded that place.
Prince Jingxin's Mansion.
...
...
Taichang Temple was quiet as usual last night, ushering in a seemingly ordinary day in the morning light.
After washing, Zhang Yiai had breakfast with Monk Du Hai, two bowls of millet porridge and three thin vegetarian cakes, the only difference was that he ate half an extra salted duck egg.
Apart from the two of them, the first person to come to Taichang Temple was not Lu Guogong or a representative of any sect, but Yue Qianmen.
Prince Jing Xin's mansion was completely surrounded by the guards, but no one dared to stop him from leaving.
Yue Qianmen is a guest of the Prince's Mansion, of course he knows that Bulaolin threatened the Prince's Mansion with a letter to Zhenmo Prison because of the assassination of Zhao Layue back then.
To be more precise, this matter could only be carried out with his consent.
Zhenmo Prison is the real body of the Dragon God, not to mention the withered Forest of Immortality, even if more powerful forces want to tamper with it, it is impossible.
And he really wanted to know the content of the letter that Bulaolin sent to the Demon Town Prison, so he agreed to Liang Taifu's actions after receiving the real person's letter.
He didn't take it seriously, but who would have thought... the dragon god is actually dead!
And some people in the imperial court and monastic circle obviously wanted to link the death of Dragon God with that letter.
No! They have already connected the death of the Dragon God with that letter, as evidenced by the fact that the guards surrounded the Prince's Mansion overnight!
He came to Taichang Temple before everyone else, just wanting to talk to Duhai Monk in advance to save the situation.
The morning light is faint, and the morning birds have not yet risen. The corner of the eaves of Taichang Temple casts a somewhat weird shadow in the back garden.
Du Haiseng and Yue Qianmen stood in the shadow and talked softly.
"The truth of the matter is like this. That person is indeed from Bulao Lin. We wanted to investigate certain things but couldn't find out. In the end, we had to send him to the Demon Town Prison."
Hearing these words, Du Haiseng was silent for a long time.
The meaning of Yueqianmen was very clear, and the Zhongzhou faction couldn't come out of the trial, so they had to be sent to the Town Demon Prison to be eaten by Canglong, so that they could more or less get some information.
This kind of behavior is against the righteous way, and if it spreads out, it will do great harm to the reputation of the Zhongzhou faction, but he frankly admits that it should be the truth in anyone's mind.
Du Haiseng didn't think so, looked at him and said calmly: "Monks don't tell lies, but that doesn't mean they are easy to deceive."
Yue Qianmen's face was a little ugly, and he said: "It is indeed the truth."
Du Haiseng looked at Yue Qianmen quietly and said, "You said that the man is dead, not the one who escaped from the Demon Town Prison, do you have evidence?"
Yue Qianmen's face was a little ugly. The prisoners in Zhenmo Prison suffered heavy casualties. Many prisoners didn't even have their bodies left behind. Where can they find evidence?
He said with a slightly cold expression: "Could it be that Master is really planning to get to the bottom of it?"
Guocheng Temple has a long history and profound heritage, but the Zhongzhou School has a higher status in the Taoist circle and Chaotian Continent, and the relationship between the two parties has always been good.
Now the Zhongzhou faction did not hesitate to expose their family ugliness, and gave a perfect answer, but Du Haiseng refused to accept it. What is going on?
Du Haiseng said calmly: "If the matter is not investigated clearly, it is natural to continue to investigate."
Yue Qianmen said angrily: "Dragon God is dead, we don't want to pursue it ourselves, why should we investigate?"
"Yesterday, I told Commander Zhang that the Canglong incarnation of the Demon Suppressing Prison and his death shook the ground. This is not a matter of the Zhongzhou faction. If you don't want to pursue it, it doesn't mean that this matter is over. Elder Yue should not have forgotten that Zenzi once promised the Emperor of the Underworld, and he will definitely investigate this matter."
Duhai Monk looked at him quietly and said, "Monks...don't lie."
Yue Qianmen took a deep look at him, turned and left without saying anything.
...
...
As the morning light gradually brightened and the fog in the forest gradually dispersed, representatives and officials of various sects came to Taichang Temple again.
There was no chatter, Duke Lu directly told the news that everyone wanted to know the most.
"Your Majesty was furious and demanded that the truth of the case must be found out."
Lu Guogong looked at Yue Qian's face and said expressionlessly: "Your Majesty wants me to ask Elder Yue, what exactly does the Zhongzhou faction want to do?"
