In the morning, I took my brothers on an errand and ransacked the house of the boss who didn't look at me.
To be honest, he has never seen such a poor official. Several houses have been dug up and down, and nothing worth two taels of silver has been found. The brothers have been cursing and complaining all morning, thinking that they can use these days for themselves.
These brothers were also very accommodating. He was so heartbroken that he took out his own money and treated everyone to a big meal at noon.
Since he has spent the money, he must drink good wine. After drinking and everyone disperses, if he can still be confused and recognize the way, it is already considered good!
"Everyone get out, everyone get out!"
He drove away the two fans who were coming to help him: "Why are you going back? Why don't you just take a nap when you go back? Our family is not going. Our family is going to Enji Temple to worship Bodhisattva. Don't follow us!"
Go to Enji Temple!
When the two fans heard this, they immediately felt relieved. This place is not far from Enji Temple. When they arrived at Enji Temple from their stall, it was like going home. They did not need to serve them anymore. Besides, there were many secrets hidden in Enji Temple.
There are too many bosses, and they might accidentally offend someone. If they don't have anything to do at home, they will feel uncomfortable.
However, after finally doing a lot of bad things on weekdays, the two confidants followed the stumbling stall owner to the entrance of Enji Temple. When they saw a young novice welcoming the stall owner in, the two of them turned and left.
go.
Zheng Bajin might have found a place to sleep when he entered Enji Temple. There was no need for them to wait here. Wouldn't it be nice to go back and lie down on their own bed? Anyway, in the entire Shuntian Mansion and the entire capital, anyone who dared to cause trouble in Enji Temple would
They think there should be no such thing.
After returning to Dongchang, the two fans returned to their room and fell asleep. They felt that they had just closed their eyes when someone woke them up.
"Get up quickly, something happened!"
The person who called them looked nervous, "Our Zheng stall is gone, and now Chen is calling for someone to follow him out!"
"What's missing?" The two fans were confused. They had just woken up from their sleep and didn't understand the situation at all.
"Get packed up quickly and come out, don't wait any longer!" The companion hurriedly ran out, and the two of them also hurriedly packed up and got dressed and ran out.
Most of the gossips from the ugly class in the elementary school were there. Chen Tang walked out with a cold face and a group of gossips. Someone shouted in a low voice: "Follow me!"
All the gossips in the ugly class started to move, and followed the people from the Chen stall and walked out of the Dongchang gate one by one.
"You two, be careful when you go back to the stall to ask questions. You are usually closest to Zheng Stall!"
"How could something like this happen? Isn't lunch always a good time?"
"I heard that he lost his footing and fell into the pond. The news was sent by the monks from Enji Temple. As you all have seen, we have a lot to drink in the stall at noon!"
The companions were talking in low voices, which made the two fans feel chilled. Such a good living person would be gone if he said it was gone. And looking at this posture, the stall owner seemed a little unconvinced that this was an accident.
Ah, they are the last people to see Zheng Bajin, so this is a bit troublesome!
Chen Tang, who was at the front, always had a gloomy face. He really didn't believe that this was an accident.
He was leading a team on an errand in the morning, but someone died in the afternoon. If he hadn't died at Enji Temple, Chen Tang would be almost certain that this was not an accident, but deliberate.
Dongchang has made so many enemies, not to mention those from outside, even in Jinyiwei, who can barely count themselves as one of their own, there are many people who are dissatisfied with Dongchang. Among Dongchang's many enemies, perhaps they dare not openly fight against Dongchang.
Even though they are facing each other, they still have the guts to do some dirty tricks or something.
He personally led the team to Enji Temple just to confirm this. Dongchang has never been afraid of enemies on the surface, but these rats who have malicious intentions and secretly do evil must be guarded against.
In Enji Temple, a group of monks were already waiting for his arrival. Zheng Bajin's body was covered with white cloth and placed in the side hall.
Chen Tang stepped forward, lifted up the white cloth, and looked at Zheng Bajin's body carefully.
Zheng Bajin's death state was a bit ferocious, but Chen Tang had seen so many dead people that he didn't care at all. He checked it carefully and shook his head slightly - he found no obvious injuries on the body.
"Call Wu Zuo in! Work carefully!" He shouted outside and walked out.
Wu Zuo is also one of Dongchang's own. Dongchang will never believe the words of outsiders on this kind of matter.
A monk brought a chair and he sat on it: "Where are the items on his body?"
"They are all there, not a single thing is missing!" The monk replied respectfully: "Our temple has sent people to carefully search for the place where Almsgiver Zheng drowned, and nothing is missing!"
"Take me to have a look!" Chen Tang stood up, glanced at the busy monks inside, and led the people to follow the monk.
The pond where Zheng Bajin drowned was actually not very big, only about two or three acres. There were many lotus plants in the pond, and there was even a pavilion on the edge of the pond.
However, the railing of the pavilion was broken at this moment, and there was even a piece of cloth hanging on the broken spot. According to the speculation of the monks, Zheng Bajin should have been leaning on the railing of the pavilion, trying to take a rest, but he accidentally fell into it.
In the water, by the time someone discovers him, he will be dead.
"Although the monks in our temple were having lunch classes at that time, if someone fell into the water and called for help, someone should still hear it. Even if the monks in our temple didn't hear it, the occasional pilgrims who passed by could hear it!" The monk looked confused.
: “But until it was discovered that donor Zheng had been killed, I never heard a cry for help!”
"He's drunk!" Chen Tang snorted and said lightly.
The break on the railing was indeed a new break, and there were no traces of man-made damage. Chen Tang walked to the other side of the pavilion and pushed the railing. Although the railing was shaking slightly, it was obviously not
It seems very reliable.
A scene emerged in his mind: a drunk Zheng Bajin walked to the pavilion, felt hot and wanted to get some wind, and sat down on the railing. As a result, the railing, which was originally not strong, could not bear it.
With his weight, there was a "click" and his whole body and the broken railing fell into the water.
"It seems that this guy is really destined!" He murmured in a low voice. The monk was a little confused and looked at him without knowing why.
Walking back to the side hall, Wu Zuo had finished his work and was waiting for his return. He looked at the other person: "How?"
"It is currently speculated that the deceased died of drowning. If he was thrown into the water after death, there must be no water in the lungs of the deceased. I just checked and there is water in the lungs! And on the whole body of the deceased, I did not find any
Strangulation marks, wounds, if it is a sword wound, you can see it at a glance. If there are indentations and strangulation marks, there should be bloody scars at this moment!"
"As for the flesh, blood and internal organs of the deceased, the toxicity has also been checked, and they should not be poisoned!"
"So, he drowned himself when he was alone?" Chen Tang looked at Zuo coldly: "Is this an accident?"
Wu Zuo nodded: "If nothing else happens, this should be an accident!"
