Zhumen Hangui

Chapter 90 The Case in the Temple 12
"Oh? What do you think? Tell me!" Li Tuiguan was refreshed. Could it be that Su Yizhao already knew the truth?

"Master! Uncle! This account is wrong!" Following the sudden voice, it was Jie Chen who came in a hurry.

He brought two monks to bring over the account book box in the temple, his face full of dignity.

"Also, the agarwood in our warehouse is gone."

As he spoke, he took out a one-foot-square huanghuali box from the big box, "Chen Shuixiang was originally placed in the box, and only Junior Brother Jingshu and Nephew Wu Neng have the key."

Su Yizhao leaned forward and found that the word "Yuci" was engraved on the outside of the box.

It seemed that the box could not be disposed of, so he only took the incense inside.

"Master! Wu Neng would never dare to touch this incense. On weekdays, Uncle Jingshu would always check on it. How could Wu Neng dare to touch it?"

Wu Neng's face turned pale with fright, this is not an ordinary thing, but a gift from the emperor, he even has several heads that are not enough to cut off.

"Today evening, Uncle Jingshu came out of the storeroom with agarwood, saying that the two masters were going to change the incense. I watched him open the box, but I happened to be busy afterwards, so I didn't look at him How much did you take?"

"Could it be just used up?" Su Yizhao asked.

Wu Neng immediately denied it, "Impossible, I saw a lot in the box last time!"

"Amitabha! These are things outside the body, and they are nothing compared to human life. It is just tracing the whereabouts of this incense, which is mostly related to the pure tree."

After the abbot shouted the Buddha's name, he analyzed.

"This is a gift from the imperial court, and it is very valuable. If Junior Brother Jing Shu really stole it, then he meant to go far away with Feng Shi."

Jiechen's face is extremely ugly, but he should pay attention to the wise eyes of the wise teacher and uncle!

"What's wrong with the accounts?" Su Yizhao asked in a deep voice.

"The two of them have always checked the account book, but it will be handed over to our Discipline Court every month. It has been more than half a month since the account was handed in last month. The spices and money issued do not match. Including the purchased materials, there are a total of 360 four taels of discrepancy."

Jie Chen sighed deeply, "I didn't expect Junior Brother Jingshu to be so foolish, it's really not worth it for that girl!"

"Have you searched Master Jingshu's meditation room?" Su Yizhao expected well, but in the end it was because of the money.

"I have already sent people to search." After Jie An finished speaking, he fell silent, and the hall was silent for a while.

Su Yizhao understood that this was a scandal, and these monks couldn't accept it for a while.

She glanced at the two eminent monks, and found that they had entered meditation, and began to recite scriptures.

It didn't take long before a monk came to report.

"Uncle Jiechen! I searched all over the Zen room, but I didn't find any money, only this."

Everyone turned their heads and found that it turned out to be a small package.

Jie Chen stepped forward to open the package, and found that inside was a set of lake blue coarse cloth and short brown that ordinary people wear.

Taking the short brown away, everyone saw an exquisite wooden box with a piece of paper beside it.

"It's Lu Yin, he has already reported to the government." Jie Chen saw the seal below, and immediately affirmed the guess in his heart.

Su Yizhao took out his handkerchief and opened the wooden box beside him.

"It's actually an accessory used by women?" Jiang Butou exclaimed.

I saw a white jade hollow carved butterfly pattern lying in the box, with pea green tassels hanging below it, very pure and elegant, but it is really unreasonable for this to appear in a monk's house.

"Has all the money been used to curry favor with Mrs. Feng?" Jie An recited the mantra of purifying the heart, unwilling to look at the little box again.

"I'm afraid this piece of jade is not worth more than 300 taels?" Su Yizhao took a look at the fineness of the jade and felt that it could not be so expensive.

"Naturally, it is impossible. This kind of fineness is worth 20 taels at most." Jiang Butou leaned over to take a look, and estimated.

"There is no agarwood in it, and it was not in his house, so it must have been on him at the time. But we did an autopsy afterwards, and found nothing."

Su Yizhao finally found the key point, most likely murdered for money.

"That is to say, the murderer killed him for Chen Shuixiang or the money in his hand? What about Feng?"

Li Tuiguan's eyebrows relaxed a little. He found a lot of evidence so far, and he felt that he was getting closer to the truth.

"We have analyzed before that the murderer who killed Feng may not be the same murderer as Jing Shu!"

Su Yizhao felt that the two cases were related, and they were very related, but they were actually two cases.

"Yang Shan didn't have time to commit crimes. He said that he was drunk in the afternoon, and then he rested at Yang Ding's house. Unless someone was watching him all the time when he was asleep, there was no guarantee that he would stay in Yang's Village all the time. "

Su Yizhao expressed her doubts. She felt that Yang Shan was a little abnormal, and she was still a little suspicious.

"When most of us ordinary people see the dead body of their relatives, most of them will only be immersed in sadness and cannot extricate themselves. Who will immediately pay attention to clothing and accessories?"

Everyone fell into deep thought when they heard the words, Su Yizhao said again: "He mentioned the gold-plated hairpin as soon as he came up, and he mentioned it again later, saying that the hairpin was gone, which is too much attention."

"Then do you know why? Could it be that Yang Shan killed Junior Brother Jingshu and robbed him of his money and Chen Shuixiang?" Li Tuiguan asked suspiciously.

"What about Feng Shi? Could it be that Yang Shan also killed him? There are no other suspects. Jing Shu made it clear that he wanted to elope with Feng Shi. Will he really kill Feng Shi?" Jiang Butou also asked.

"We don't know yet. When we see Yang Ding's family tomorrow, there may be more clues."

As Su Yizhao spoke, he remembered that the people who had been sent to Yangjia Village turned back halfway, and couldn't help feeling a little worried.

Several people went through the existing clues again, and Su Yizhao went back to the wing to rest.

Maybe it's because of bed recognition, just like the first night when he first arrived in Su Mansion, Su Yizhao tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.

Just after falling asleep, Su Yizhao was awakened by a knock on the door.

"Master Su, wake up quickly, don't sleep, the situation has changed!"

The voice outside the door was very urgent, Su Yizhao didn't say anything, just picked up the coat beside the bed and put it on.

Tie her hair into a bun, and casually grabbed the hair that was half behind her back, picked up Acacia who was still dreaming and put it in her sleeve, and Su Yizhao opened the door.

"What happened?" Su Yizhao asked immediately when he saw that it was a yamen servant when he opened the door.

"Let's go to the Discipline Pavilion and talk as we go!"

"Early this morning, my lord sent us to the yamen to summon a few more yamen servants to move stones on the way to Yangjia Village. We set off before dawn, and called several villagers from the village in front of us, so that we could remove the stones on the road. Move it out."

Hearing this, Su Yizhao couldn't help reminding: "Get to the point!"
