Chapter 21
When Xie Chen woke up, it was time to go to chant scriptures and pray for blessings, and Yinhuan was waiting for her outside, she simply tidied up, and went to the main hall with Yinhuan.

At the gate of the main hall of the National Temple, Xie Chen was the first to arrive, and the others hadn't arrived yet.

Because the status of the Prime Minister's Mansion is not low, Master Keats was also invited here to pray for blessings.

The abbot of the National Temple, Master Jiyun, went to Yunyou a few years ago. Xie Chen followed the emperor to meet Master Jiyun as long as he could remember. After that, the National Temple was also managed by Master Jiyun on his behalf.

Master Keats saw that Xie Chen came first, put his hands together and said "Amitabha", and said to Xie Chen: "I heard that there was an accident on the way to the donor. Fortunately, the Buddha blessed him and made it safe."

Because of the experience in the previous life, Xie Chen didn't believe in the blessing of the Buddha in his heart. Even if he was blessed, it wasn't her who blessed him. So when he heard this sentence, a sneer flashed in Xie Chen's eyes, but he still kept a smile on his face: "Thank you, Master, for your concern." .”

After speaking, Prime Minister Xie and his party also arrived, and they all put their hands together to say hello to Master Keats.

Master Keats led them into the main hall, where there were statues of Buddhas of the third generation. In the center was Sakyamuni Buddha in the Saha world, on the left was the Medicine Buddha in the Eastern Pure Glass World, and on the right was Amitabha Buddha in the Western Paradise.

Master Keats first knelt down on the cushion in front of him and began to chant sutras, then Prime Minister Xie and the others, including Xie Chen, knelt down, clasped their hands together, and listened reverently to the sutras read by Master Jiyun.

The Buddha seems to have the power to save all living beings. After seeing it, Xie Chen suddenly remembered what he heard before. Some people feel scared when they see the Buddha statue, but some people feel at ease. In the end, she died miserably in the fire with hatred, and she didn't know how to face this Buddha.

Buddha crosses everyone, but not her.

After listening to the scriptures recited by Master Jiyun, it was time for them to chant the scriptures by themselves, still kneeling.

When everything was over, when Xie Chen stood up, his legs felt sore and numb. Looking at the appearance of other people, he must be the same as her.

"Benefactor, please wait a moment." When Xie Chen and Aunt Lan walked to the door, a voice came from behind.

Xie Chen and the others turned their heads and saw a young monk walking over with something in their hands, "Almsgiver, now that the weather is getting hotter, there will inevitably be some mosquitoes at night, this is insect repellent incense, just light it in the house before going to bed. "

After Xie Chen and Aunt Lan heard it, they took it and nodded their thanks.

In the evening, Xie Chen was still talking to Aunt Lan in her room, and Prime Minister Xie's servant came over to pass the news, saying that Prime Minister Xie had some official business in Beijing, and he would go back as soon as the ceremony was finished tomorrow morning, and there were two days left Let them finish their chanting and praying here first, and he will send someone to pick them up on the last day.

This incident also happened in the previous life, it should be a very urgent matter, Prime Minister Xie will hurry back after finishing the ceremony tomorrow.

Here, as soon as Gu Hengyu entered Dali Temple, he saw the person he was looking for, Xiao Dingshan, the current minister of Dali Temple, Xiao Dingshan was able to achieve this position not because of his real strength, but because he knew how to deal with the superiors. If this case was handed over to him, it would be difficult to close it, and it might become a backing board for his fawning.

Seeing Gu Hengyu walking towards him, Xiao Dingshan wondered why, this little Marquis Gu didn't care about court affairs long ago, what's their business in Dali Temple now?
Because of the deep trust of the emperor in Yong'an Hou's mansion, Yong'an Hou also holds great power now. Although Gu Hengyu doesn't care about the government, it may change one day, even the capital will change, so Xiao Dingshan knows that he is still not qualified. If you speak casually to Master Gu Xiaohou, you still have to greet him with a smile.

After Xiao Dingshan figured it out, he politely said to Gu Hengyu: "I don't know what is the purpose of Gu Xiaohou's coming here?"

Gu Hengyu has no official or position, even if he is a hereditary Marquis, he is still a junior at this time, Xiao Dingshan is a third-rank official, but he claims to be a low-ranking official, which shows his ability to please people in his daily life.

Gu Hengyu didn't have the heart to talk to him about this matter, so he directly explained the purpose of coming: "This junior really wants you to help me with something."

Although Gu Hengyu is usually indifferent to people and doesn't like to talk too much, he is by no means arrogant and arrogant, so he naturally calls himself a junior to Xiao Dingshan, who is already in his early fifties.

After hearing this, Xiao Dingshan hurriedly said: "Master Gu, but it's okay to say, as long as the lower officials can help the higher ones, they will never shirk."

Xiao Dingshan hadn't dealt with Yong'an Houfu and Gu Hengyu much, so he couldn't figure out what was going on for a while, but since he could give Gu Hengyu a favor, he was willing to do it.

"I want to examine the body of Sun Siyan, the daughter of the Minister of Rites." Gu Hengyu said straight to the point, without concealing his purpose.

Xiao Dingshan's face changed when he heard this. If the corpse had been sent over the day it was just discovered, Gu Hengyu might still agree to his request, but...now someone has already greeted him in advance, and thinking of that person's status, he had no choice but to refuse. Gu Hengyu's request.

"Master Gu, I'm sorry I can't help you. Ms. Sun has a high status and is related to the ministers of the court. I don't dare to let you investigate the case privately." Xiao Dingshan quickly found a reason to refuse Gu Hengyu and said.

When Gu Hengyu saw this, he guessed that someone had already come to find Xiao Dingshan in advance. With Xiao Dingshan's temperament, it was too late to please him and give him a favor, so how could he refuse.

"Lord Xiao, look at this." A man's voice came from the door.

Xiao Dingshan looked at the door, only to see Shen Yuzhi walking towards this side with something in his hand.

After Shen Yuzhi approached, he handed the things in his hand to Xiao Dingshan, and said, "With this, are you still investigating the case privately?"

Xiao Dingshan opened it and saw that it was an investigation order written by the Minister of Criminal Affairs, allowing Gu Hengyu and Shen Yuzhi to assist in the trial of the case. Dali Temple needs to cooperate with their needs when necessary.

It turned out that Gu Hengyu was on the way back at that time, and asked Shen Yuzhi to take a shortcut to meet his father Shen Shangshu to obtain the investigation order. Shen Shangshu was naturally happy to see his son make progress, and he already wanted to help Dali Temple with the trial of the case. What's more, Gu Hengyu couldn't make any mistakes by the side, so he gave him the investigation order without saying a word.

Shen Yuzhi saw this scene when he came in, and thought that fortunately Gu Hengyu had thought carefully and obtained the investigation order in advance, otherwise Miss Sun's body would be meaningless to them if it was delayed for a day.

Seeing this, Xiao Dingshan had no choice but to let Gu Hengyu and the others go in. When they turned around and went in, he gave his confidants a wink and told him to report to that person quickly.

The guard guarding the door was dozing off. When he saw Xiao Dingshan bringing people, he quickly stood up straight and saluted them: "Hello, my lords."

Xiao Dingshan said: "Take us to the place where the body of Miss Sun, the daughter of the Ministry of Rites is buried."

The guards nodded and led them to the place where Ms. Sun's body was stored. They had been checked by a professional yesterday. The body should be sent away tonight. I don't know what they came for.
