Chapter 136 Jiang Mo’s new master?
Late at night, the silver light is falling, and everything is silent.
Because Qiu Ye's injury had not healed, Jiang Shouzhong took Xia He to Yizhuang to look for the body of Zhang Queer's mother.
Yamen Yizhuang is generally a place where coffins or bones are stored. Unprocessed corpses are temporarily stored here. It is divided into a mortuary and an eternity room. The mortuary is where the remains and corpses are stored, and the eternity room is where the coffins are stacked.
Bodies involved in some major cases will be preserved in special coffins and placed in a separate cold room until the case is completely closed before being processed.
According to Jiang Shouzhong's understanding of Nalan's case, although the case has been closed, the final files will need a period of review before they can be placed in the docket. During this period, the body still needs to be preserved.
So it burned down so quickly, which undoubtedly surprised Jiang Shouzhong.
The people who guard the Yizhuang are just some elderly government servants. They usually have no relatives and are alone. They stay in this gloomy yard all day long and occasionally get some money from the relatives who claim the body. The days passed easily and comfortably.
Jiang Shouzhong and Xia He avoided the guards and went straight to the cold warehouse next to the Taiping House.
Compared to the cold storage room with special talismans inside the six doors, the corpse room in Yizhuang is just in a cooler location. After entering, there is no bone-chilling chill like the cold storage room with six doors. .
Every corpse stored here has a name record.
Jiang Shouzhong took a quick glance and saw that there were only six corpses in the cold house. After checking them one by one, he found that they were all male corpses.
“Not here.”
Jiang Shouzhong frowned and went to search the other two morgues.
However, the two searched carefully and couldn't find the body of Zhang Queer's mother. Jiang Shouzhong couldn't help but wonder, "Is it really burned?"
Xia He was more straightforward and directly arrested the person who was guarding the yard for questioning.
The person in charge was an old man. He was sleeping soundly, but he was pulled out from under the quilt. He had never experienced anything like this before.
When I saw the two dark figures, I thought it was a fake corpse at first. I was so frightened that I almost peed my pants. I kept kowtowing and begging for mercy. I even confessed that I had secretly watched my brother take a bath when I was a child. .
After being interrogated by Xia He with a knife on his neck, Jiang Shouzhong learned that the body had been taken away by an official two days ago.
According to the old man's recollection, the official was accompanied by the housekeeper of Luo Mansion at that time.
Jiang Shou felt strange.
Even if the body is to be burned, what does Luo Mansion mix in?
Leaving Yizhuang, Xia He took off his black mask and asked in a low voice: "Has the body been taken away by people from Luo Mansion? How about we go to Luo Mansion to have a look?"
Jiang Shouzhong hesitated for a moment and nodded lightly, "Go and find out the situation."
However, just when the two came to Luo Mansion and were about to sneak in, they happened to see the door of Luo Mansion suddenly open and they walked out of the door. A figure that was very familiar to Jiang Shouzhong appeared, it was Master Hu who had had a conflict with him before.
There is also a monk beside Tiger Lord.
The cassocks worn by monks are very different from those of monks in the Central Plains. They are embroidered with patterns such as golden Dharma wheels and lotus flowers. They exude a worldly and untainted temperament. Coupled with their beautiful appearance, they have an extraordinary and earthly appearance. The solemnity of pity for the suffering of all things.
It was actually the Buddha Mother from Tantric Buddhism.
Seeing this, Jiang Shouzhong and Xia He hurriedly hid in the dark and observed secretly.
Because Qiuye is not here, he cannot hide his aura better, and Lord Tiger is a real master, so he cannot listen to what they are saying at close range, so the two of them can only stay away from each other.
"I have met her."
Although the two met only once on the street, they still had an impression of Xia He, the beautiful Buddha Mother.
I have never seen Jiang Shouzhong.
I just think this beautiful Buddha Mother is very evil.
Master Tiger chatted with the Buddha Mother for a few words, and then he saw the Buddha Mother take out a rod-shaped jade object from her sleeve and hand it to him, then put her hands together in a salute, turned and left.
But behind the Buddha Mother, there was another woman.
The strange thing is that the woman was wearing a black hat in the middle of the night, covering her face, and was following behind the Buddha. Even her walking posture was quite strange, she seemed very stiff, and her arms did not swing.
Dead man! ?
Jiang Shouzhong and Xia He were shocked.
Because she was wearing a bamboo hat, Jiang Shouzhong couldn't see the woman's face clearly, but various signs now indicate that the possibility of Zhang Queer's mother is high.
"Follow me?"
Seeing the Buddha Mother walking away, Xia He turned around and asked.
Jiang Shouzhong fell into deep thought.
Things are getting weirder and weirder. What are these guys going to do with the body of Zhang Queer’s mother?
I remember Zhang Ashun said that in order to deal with Nalan Xie, her wife personally tried the voodoo technique, and her body had long been corroded by various voodoo poisons. Could it be for this reason that the body of Zhang Queer's mother was of great use?
"Follow!"
Jiang Shouzhong made a prompt decision and followed Xia He.
But the two underestimated the Buddha Mother. The other party seemed to be aware of it. After turning a corner, she disappeared out of thin air. No trace was found, including the female corpse.
"The other party must have discovered us."
Jiang Shouzhong looked ugly.
Being able to leave quietly shows that his cultivation level is superior to the two of them.
Seeing that the pursuit was fruitless, Jiang Shouzhong said helplessly: "Go back first. If it doesn't work, ask your wife to help investigate."
"Yes."
Xia He Tap your head lightly.
……
Back in the courtyard, Jiang Shouzhong was afraid that Zhang Que'er would be impulsive. He just said that the body had not been found yet and would let Liumen conduct a secret investigation and tell her if there was any news.
Although Zhang Queer was disappointed, he didn't say anything.
The next morning, a sudden and great change suddenly occurred like a whirlwind, causing a sensation in the entire capital.
Luo Mingtang, the head of the Luo family and the current head of state, died of a sudden illness!
As soon as this news came out, it shocked the government and the public.
The people in the capital were also surprised when they learned about it. After all, the head of the Luo family was famous for his deeds of removing ashes not long ago. In everyone's impression, this guy had a strong crotch, so why did he die suddenly.
Jiang Shouzhong heard the news at noon, and immediately thought of the female monk he saw last night.
Intuition told him that there was a conspiracy.
But after thinking for a long time, I couldn’t figure out what Luo Mansion was doing.
However, with the death of Luo Mingtang, the Luo family will inevitably fall into a short-term civil strife, and there should be no time to take care of him. It is definitely a good thing for him. As for Qingzhou, I still have to go.
After all, Sister Nightingale had confessed that the only way to investigate the Anhe Village massacre was by going to Qingzhou.
……
Luofu.
The plain curtains in the mansion are fluttering, the white silk is flying, and the entire mansion is enveloped in gloom and mist.
Luo Wanqing stared at her father in the coffin with a complicated expression. No matter how suspicious or shocked she was, the man dying in front of her was indeed her father, and there was no way he could lie about it.
This put her in a trance for a moment.
Although she has cut off the father-daughter relationship with her father, who has had a cold relationship since childhood, she is her biological father after all. Seeing the other party's body with her own eyes, her emotions are inevitably complicated.
Of course, she doesn't believe in the sudden onset of any serious illness.
My father was extremely obsessed with health-preserving techniques in his early years. He made friends with many alchemy Taoist priests. He even practiced hard for a year in Zhenxuan Mountain. Although he was not a monk, he had a good physique. Definitely much stronger than ordinary young adults.
How could such a person die suddenly of a serious illness?
Luo Wanqing turned to stare at the tiger-faced old man, "How did he die?"
Mr. Tiger looked at the crying young woman beside him.
The daughter-in-law of the Luo family.
The young woman was wearing a plain white mourning dress, crying in a low voice. Her beautiful face was slightly haggard. Even in the white mourning dress, her graceful figure could not be concealed, and she had a unique charm.
Facing the queen's gaze, the young woman trembled, her eyes avoided, and she did not dare to speak.
Luo Wanqing said coldly: "Everyone else, get out!"
Everyone in the mourning hall looked at each other, but after a moment of hesitation, they all retreated, including Master Hu.
Only the young woman was left in the mourning hall.
“Say.”
Luo Wanqing, who is wearing a big gold dress and a golden gauze, has cold eyes.
Feeling the coercion emanating from the Queen, the young woman knelt on the ground. She was so frightened that her clothes were wet with the overflowing baby nutrient solution. She said tremblingly:
"Return... ...Reporting to the Queen, what did Master do last night...last night with Nujia in bed...around the time when I was ugly, Master suddenly lay on Nujia and became motionless..."
Luo Wanqing clenched her pink fists He took a deep breath and said in a cold voice: "What were the symptoms after falling down?"
"Just... suddenly fell down. His face and other things were normal, but he was out of breath... Wuwu..." Young The woman burst into tears, her tears rolling down like broken pearls.
"Did you hear anything at that time?"
"...No, I was just...just screaming..." The woman lowered her head, her cheeks flushed.
Luo Wanqing's pretty face is extremely ugly.
She glanced at the man in the coffin and said sarcastically: "You deserve to die on a woman's belly!"
The queen left the mourning hall angrily.
After walking out of Luo Mansion, Luo Wanqing asked Master Hu who was following behind: "Who did Luo Mingtang meet last night?"
"The Buddha Mother of the Bliss Tantric Sect."
" "Buddha's mother?"
Luo Wanqing frowned.
Master Hu nodded and whispered: "The master learned that the Tantric Buddha Mother came to the capital, so he asked the younger one to invite the Buddha Mother to his house, hoping to ask for some advice..."
Mr. Hu hesitated for a moment and said: "Some health-preserving techniques of Tantric dual cultivation."
Seeing that Luo Wanqing was not angry, he continued: "The master seems to have made a deal with the Buddha Mother. Help Mother Buddha find a corpse. And that corpse was the murderer of the previous massacre of the Nalan family. Mother Buddha left with the body, and there was nothing wrong with the master at that time. "
Luo Wan. Qing was silent in thought.
Could it be the murderous hand of the Buddha Mother?
But there shouldn't be any grudges between the two parties, and the Buddha's mother doesn't have the guts to kill the dignitary.
She suddenly asked: "Does Luo Mingtang take evil spirit to maintain his health?"
"This..."
Master Hu hesitated.
The other party's tone obviously explained the problem. Luo Wanqing remembered something, her eyes flickered slightly, she said "die well" and left with a wave of sleeves.
……
In the blink of an eye, Luo Wanqing arrived at the study of Ge Yulong, the dean of Liumen General Hospital.
Ge Yulong, who was reviewing official documents, saw the masked woman suddenly appearing in the room. He was angry at first, and when he was about to reprimand him, he was so frightened that he rolled down from his chair and knelt on the ground when he saw the woman's appearance clearly. He said respectfully: "I am humble enough to see you, the empress. I am a thousand years old."
"Who among you is the best at investigating the case?" Luo Wanqing went straight to the point.
Ge Yulong was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly took out the daily assessment roster for the twelve classes from the desk, "My Lady, please take a look, these are the assessment rankings for the six doors and twelve classes, the one ranked first Feng Wu Tang——"
"Just tell me who it is!"
Luo Wanqing was extremely impatient.
When Ge Yulong was able to sit on the position of dean of the main hospital, he had the help of the queen in front of him, so she was extremely grateful to her in his heart.
Ge Yulong thought about it for a while, and suddenly remembered the recent Xichu Pavilion incident. His eyes lit up and he blurted out: "Jiang Mo, Jiang Mo from Fenglei Hall is very powerful!"
However, As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Ge Yulong wanted to slap himself on both ears.
Behind the Xi Chu Pavilion is the Luo family, and Jiang Mo has entered into a life-and-death situation with the Luo family. As a member of the Luo family, how could the queen tell her Jiang Mo's name.
But Luo Wanqing didn't react much when she heard the name.
After all, she only focused on her cultivation on weekdays. Although she had heard about the recent turmoil in the Luo family, she was too lazy to pay attention to it. Naturally, she didn't know what role Jiang Mo played in it.
"Okay, from today onwards, Jiang Mo will work exclusively for me and will no longer be under the control of your six doors!"
Luo Wanqing spoke domineeringly and said coldly, "Go and do it. He called over, I want to arrange a task for him.”
