Chapter 434: Good and Great
Sun Shaozong made up his mind and immediately kept a distance from Miaoyu without making any noise.
Almost at the same time, Chu Liang and his men swarmed in. When they saw the hideous and crazy laughter of the lecherous Ni Zhishan, they were all stunned.
“Go and take a look!”
Chu Liang raised his hand, and two of his men immediately rushed out from both sides, ready to go forward to check on the mother and son.
But before they could get close, Zhishan slumped down at the head of the bed, the wild smile on his face gradually froze, and the baby in his arms fell to the ground.
Upon seeing this, the two Dragon Guards rushed forward to check the breathing and pulse of the mother and son respectively, then turned around and shook their heads at Chu Liang at the same time.
Obviously, both mother and son were dead.
Chu Liang frowned slightly, his eyes fell on Miaoyu again, and he asked in a deep voice: "Who are you? How could this nun and her son be like this?"
Miaoyu pinched the corner of her clothes and shook her head in panic, saying, "Poor nun Miaoyu, I... I don't know what happened. I wanted to see how the child was, but when I walked in, I saw Zhishan holding the child sitting on the bed, as if he was a clay or wooden sculpture."
"Just when I was about to ask her what happened, she suddenly chewed her tongue and committed suicide with a strange smile!"
This is somewhat different from the plot originally designed by Sun Shaozong - he didn't expect that Zhishan would chew her tongue and commit suicide in order to protect the 'Happy Bodhisattva' in her heart!
However, Sun Shaozong still followed the original plan, stepped forward with a calm face, pretended to observe for a while, and then sighed: "Although Zhishan was originally crazy, who would have thought that she would accidentally suffocate her own flesh and blood to death ."
As he said this, he turned around and spread his hands towards Chu Liang, saying, " The bodies of the mother and son are here. It is up to Captain Chu to decide how to deal with them."
Chu Liang did not doubt that Sun Shaozong would use the trick of replacing the prince with a cat. Besides, the main purpose of his trip was not to slay demons.
So he casually asked a few questions about Zhishan's daily life, and then looked at Monk Jie Nian and asked, "Master Jie Nian, do you think these two bodies should be burned together with the yard, or..."
"Amitabha."
Monk Jie Nian chanted the Buddha's name and said solemnly, "Since he is a demon born for the sake of destiny, how could he commit so many evils so easily?"
Sun Shaozong's heart tightened, thinking that the monk had seen through something. Unexpectedly, the monk pointed at Jiexian's body and said firmly: "After being secretly murdered by this demon, Junior Brother Jiexian still held on to the determination to slay the demon and exterminate the evil, and chose to perish !"
As he said this, he could not help but look up to the sky and sigh: "Good is Jiexian, great is Jiexian!"
"When I return to report, I will definitely ask the Emperor to grant special honors to Jiexian to commend his achievements in eliminating demons and defending the Way."
good……
What a shameless bald ass!
When threats and inducements failed, he came up with this idea of cutting off the source of the problem!
If the retired emperor believed his nonsense and really gave Jiexian some title or something, then the matter would be settled - anyone who dug up the secrets behind Jiexian would be making things difficult for the retired emperor!
Not to mention Sun Shaozong, even Chu Liang from the same camp couldn't help but secretly curse the monk for being so shameless after hearing this.
But after cursing, he still followed Jie Nian's words and sneered, "I heard that Shuntian Prefecture was deliberately protecting the demon mother and son, and in the stalemate, Master Jiexian was unfortunately ambushed. May I ask, Master Qianhu, is this true?"
Sun Shaozong frowned and asked, "Is this also what the emperor wants to ask?"
Seeing him frown, Chu Liang's attitude became even more aggressive: "Although it is not the question asked by the emperor, I will report the answer of the thousand households truthfully!"
"All right."
Sun Shaozong sighed and said helplessly, "No one in Shuntian Prefecture has any intention of protecting this mother and son. It's just that for some reason, Wei Ruolan, the Wei Tongpan, insisted on stopping the masters from eliminating demons and defending the Dao. And I took over this case in accordance with the court rules after Master Jiexian passed away."
"If Captain Chu doesn't believe me, you can call the warden Zhou Da and the jailers here to interrogate them carefully."
Chu Liang was stunned. He had heard Xu say that it was Sun Shaozong who detained Monk Jiechen and others, so he thought that the one who stopped the monks from "eliminating demons and defending the Way" should naturally be Sun Shaozong.
Therefore , he couldn't wait to accuse Sun Shaozong of sheltering a demon and causing the death of the monk.
Who would have thought that there was someone else stopping the monks!
And if it was someone else, it would be fine, but since he was a subordinate of the Criminal Law Department, Sun Shaozong at least had a joint responsibility.
But this person happened to be Wei Ruolan...
Who doesn't know that Wei Ruolan is the brother-in-law of Prince Beijing, and Prince Beijing is the most beloved grandson of the retired emperor?
Who doesn't know that the Wei family and the Sun family are like water and fire?
If we really report the truth, wouldn't we offend Prince Beijing and let this Sun take advantage of us for nothing? !
After being stunned for a long while, Chu Liang forced a smile and said, "This...I'm afraid there is some misunderstanding."
"Of course there is a misunderstanding."
Sun Shaozong smiled, walked to the side of Monk Jiexian, untied his monk's robe, fiddled with the red gourd and asked, "Master Jie Nian, do you recognize this?"
When Jie Nian saw the gourd, his confident expression suddenly collapsed. The muscles on his face twitched slightly. He said calmly, "This is something that Junior Brother Jie Nian carries with him. How would I know about it?"
"That's a coincidence."
Sun Shaozong turned around and pointed at Zhishan on the bed, saying, "I didn't know what this was, but the lecherous nun Zhishan recognized it. This thing is called 'Chaste Woman's Song'. It is said that even a chaste woman would be unable to control herself if she took it."
As he said this, he sneered at Jie Nian and said, "I wonder why a monk who is willing to sacrifice his life to kill the mother and son of the lewd nun would carry this thing with him?"
Jie Nian was speechless when asked this question, and how could he come up with an answer?
He could only curse Jiexian in his heart for being so licentious and immoral. He came out to do an important job, but he still forgot to carry such things with him, ruining his brilliant plan.
"Master Baihu."
At this moment, someone suddenly came to the door and bowed to report: "We have found a pile of dry firewood nearby and have piled it outside the yard. May I ask when we can light it..."
“Dot dot dot!”
Without waiting for Chu Liang to respond, Jie Nianxian angrily threw his sleeves and shouted, "Hurry up and light the fire. Burn this yard and that mother and son to ashes!"
"Burning the yard?"
After hearing this, Miaoyu, who had been standing with her head bowed, suddenly raised her head, her two beautiful eyes widened, and she blurted out, "No, this yard can't be burned!"
With just one sentence, everyone's attention was drawn to him, and their eyes were filled with suspicion and scrutiny.
It seems that we still have to use the emergency plan!
Sun Shaozong sighed inwardly and was about to come forward to distance himself from the matter, when he suddenly heard someone in the courtyard say, "Ms. Miaoyu, since both her and her son were born in the Buddhist sect, I don't think there's anything wrong with cremating them now."
As she was talking, Wei Ruolan came in from outside and said softly to Miaoyu, "Ms. Miaoyu has done enough for the nuns in Shuiyue Temple. Why don't you let them return to dust and live a peaceful life?"
Miaoyu stared at him in a daze for a long while, then she actually let out a long sigh, chanted the Buddha's name, and walked out on her own.
