Madam let me die

Chapter 80
In the exquisitely decorated hut, the flames flickered slightly.

The charming and charming Bai Ruyue leaned over the desk, carefully reading through the case analysis texts in her hand, her delicate eyebrows were always furrowed.

Compared with the conservative clothes outside, she put on a light tulle dress at this time.

The originally graceful figure was hazy and alluring.

If you look closely, it's really fine and slender, and it's hard to add or subtract a point.

When she was writing with a pen, her arms were like snow lotus root. Under the light, her skin was soft and greasy, with a soft luster like ivory, which shows how much the eldest princess takes care of her skin.

"Princess."

Suddenly, the voice of the female guard came from outside the door.

Bai Ruyue immediately asked, "Have you found the Empress Dowager?"

"not yet."

The female guard said in a low voice, "This subordinate has led people to search all places in Dongqi County, but the Empress Dowager has never been found."

Snapped!
Bai Ruyue slapped the table hard with her fair and white hand.

The flame flickered even more.

"Go find it again!"

"Yes!"

Hearing the footsteps of the guards going away, Bai Ruyue supported her smooth forehead, the annoying distress and anxiety caused her a headache, and her whole body seemed to be chilling.

It has been almost two full days, and the Empress Dowager has not yet disappeared.

The longer the time, the worse the situation becomes.

Bai Ruyue tried not to think about those terrible possibilities, but as the guards reported again and again, her heart almost sank into the abyss, and she completely lost her previous calmness.

Endless regret flooded her emotions like a tidal wave.

If I knew this earlier, I shouldn't have persuaded Queen Lin Weiyang to take the Empress Dowager out of the palace.

If the royal father found out, he would be furious.

In addition to the Empress Dowager, the case of the robbery of the body of Princess Shanyun also worried her extremely.

According to a large amount of information after the investigation, the mastermind behind the robbery of the ice coffin is Wan Wuya of the Sky Sect.

But Bai Ruyue thought after careful analysis——

The person who set the plan is most likely He Panjun, the daughter of the former leader.

This woman is intelligent and quick-witted, and has the best insight into people's hearts. The Shadow Guard has suffered a dark loss before.Now he has devised an ingenious plan to hijack the ice coffin, and he is a difficult person.

But no matter how smart he was, the ice coffin must still be hidden somewhere in Dongqi County.

And the appearance of the ghost gun is quite strange.

The opponent chose to block Nie Ying at a critical moment, obviously cooperating with the people of Tianqiong Sect.

In other words, we cooperated with He Panjun.

After all, although He Panjun is smart, he doesn't have much say in the church, and Wan Wuya treats him as a puppet.

If she wants to seize power, she must rely on external forces.

The ghost gun is the best candidate.

The ghost gun needs the body of Princess Shanyun, and He Panjun can provide a plan. As long as the two cooperate, they can play around with Yan Shuangdao and others.

"At present, it seems that the ice coffin should be hidden by He Panjun and Ghost Gun."

Bai Ruyue lowered her eyes and muttered to herself. "Where will such a large ice coffin be hidden?"

Bai Ruyue took out a detailed map of Dongqi County from the file, and examined it carefully.

The map was redrawn three months ago.

Not only basic landforms, but also plane outlines and street layouts, detailed drawings of city walls, houses, suburban mountains and rivers, etc.

After looking at it for a while, she took out another piece of rice paper and drew a line on it to analyze the best route from the mudslide, to the robbery of the ice coffin, and then to the transportation of the ice coffin.

After a long time, the woman picked up a pen and drew a circle on a place on the map.

"Lichen Temple..."

-

Li Nanke's cultivation talent is very poor.

This is the helpless conclusion Leng Xinnan came to after most of the night's guidance.

It can be said that it is not a star and a half.

Even the most basic qi condensing dantian has been taught for a long time without success, and even she feels that even a dog tied up can do better than this guy.If it wasn't for his identity, he really wanted to beat him up.

After careful consideration, Leng Xinnan decided to persuade the man to give up the path of cultivation.

Don't practice any knife skills.

An'an is behind her, just use your ingenuity.

Faced with the kind persuasion of the cold boss, the man didn't refute anything, and directly dragged her to the outside of the courtyard to show him his newly learned sword technique.

At first Leng Xinnan didn't look forward to it.

They even planned to criticize them mercilessly and completely destroy the enthusiasm of the other party.

But when Li Nanke performed "Drawing the Sword and Slashing", she was stunned by the silver wave of the snow-breaking sword.

So she dragged Li Nanke into the room to practice "Tian Dao Su Lun".

In the end, there was still no progress, and he was still annoyingly stupid.

Leng Xinnan was confused.

You said his talent is good, he doesn't even know the basic qi condensing dantian.You said that his talent is very poor, but he can teach himself how to use a knife, and he is about to reach the level of proficiency.

It was the first time Leng Xinnan saw such a wonderful person.

Martial arts geek?

So the next day, the boss of the beauty found a high-quality sword manual from nowhere and asked Li Nanke to learn to practice.

It's a pity that the man failed to create a miracle this time.

After throwing the long sword in clumsy way several times, Leng Xinnan had no choice but to give up.

She understood that this guy couldn't be treated with common sense.

is a freak.

Simply let the man practice blindly.

Seeing that the woman finally stopped tormenting, Li Nanke also heaved a sigh of relief, and privately found a reason to ask for the "Tian Dao Su Lun" exercise, planning to study it slowly in the future.

He couldn't believe that he was dazzled before.

Maybe it's really a repair technique in the room.

……

Lichen Temple, which was hit by mudslides, was indeed seriously damaged.

When Li Nanke entered the temple, what he saw was the main hall and houses that either collapsed or were filled with sand.

There are very few pilgrims who come in an endless stream on weekdays.

The burning of incense in the temple was simply suspended, and it will be reopened after it is renovated and tidied up.However, the incense money lost during this period, it is estimated that the hosts will suffer for a while.

Under the leadership of Changyu Changming, Li Nanke met Master Yongmo of the Supervisory Academy.

He looks rich, with fair skin, two beards, and a smile all the time.Taking off the monk's clothes, he looks like a master of a rich family.

Although it looks kind, but the power is not small.

He is the supervisor of the monastery's storeroom, and all the halls of the monastery must be inspected by him, and his power in daily monastery management is second only to the abbot abbot.

"Master Li, Chang Ming and Chang Yu had already told the poor monk about that matter before. If you hadn't reminded me in time, the consequences would have been disastrous. I am extremely grateful to Lichen Temple for such kindness..."

Master Yongmo welcomed Li Nanke into the Buddhist monastery.

While talking, he asked someone to bring a small wooden plate, picked up a piece of jade Buddha in full bloom and said,
"Master Li, this virtuous Buddha is a small thank you gift from our temple. This Jade Buddha was consecrated by Master Zhenhai himself, praying the six-phase mysterious mantra, which can protect the donor's safety and wealth, and can also drive away evil spirits and avoid evil."

"Such a great kindness, why don't you make a golden Bodhisattva?"

Li Nanke repeated the joke he had made to Chang Ming before, and did not go to pick up the Jade Buddha.

Compared to Chang Ming's childishness, Yong Mo was much more tactful, and said with a smile, "It's not impossible, it's just that three virtuous Dharma masters need to petition the Lord Buddha in the orthodox hall...the process is complicated, and I'm afraid it will take three It takes five years to complete."

A sarcasm flashed across the corner of Li Nanke's lips, and he didn't bother to expose the other party's deceit.

Li Nanke went straight to the point: "Recently, have you seen any suspicious people come and go from Lichen Temple?"

"This... poor monk didn't pay attention."

Perhaps because he realized that the situation was wrong, Yongmo didn't dare to speak out, "The monastery has been quite chaotic these two days, and the poor monk was too busy and didn't pay attention too much."

He turned to Chang Ming Chang Yu and asked, "Have you two ever seen suspicious people entering or leaving this temple?"

The two monks shook their heads again and again, expressing that they had never seen it before.

Li Nanke looked at the haggard Chang Ming, and said with concern: "You don't seem to be in good spirits, didn't you sleep last night?"

Chang Ming squeezed out an ugly smile: "No, no, it's just that I've been too tired these two days."

Li Nanke snorted, and didn't ask any more questions. He continued to wander around the courtyard, looking at everything carefully, and finally stopped in front of a sealed meditation room.

There are small Buddha statues and some talisman seals standing on both sides of the meditation room.

"What's in here?"

Li Nanke asked curiously.

There was a bit of sadness on Yongmo's handsome face: "This is the body of my senior brother and the elder of my monastery's supervisor, Master Yongming.

He passed away six months ago. Originally, the abbot intended to respect him as a Bodhisattva in the flesh, so he was sealed in the dry pool in the back mountain.It's a pity that we had to break the law and move when we encountered mudslides.

Now there is no possibility for a bodhisattva in the flesh, so he can only follow the temple law and bury him under the bodhi tree after five days of practice. "

"That's it."

Li Nanke knew this statement.

After the death of eminent monks, they are generally sealed in the tank for three years. If the body does not rot, it will become a bodhisattva in the flesh.

There are still differences in the customs of Lichen Temple.

Just when Li Nanke was about to find a way to go in and have a look, Yong Mo tactfully opened the meditation room.

The monk still winked.

It can be seen that Li Nanke came to Lichen Temple to investigate the case.

"Thank you."

Li Nanke smiled and entered the meditation room.

Sure enough, there was a large black coffin in the house, much larger than ordinary coffins, and there were old Buddhist beads and special medicinal materials around it, which could disperse the strange smell.

"May I have a look?"

Li Nanke pointed to the coffin lid that had not yet been nailed on.

Yongmo nodded: "Of course."

Pushed by Chang Ming and Chang Yu, the heavy coffin lid slowly slid open, and Li Nanke also saw the body inside.

It is a dried up male corpse, wrapped in cassock.

There are also some hand-copied scriptures and wooden fishes around.

It should be a relic of the monk during his lifetime.

Li Nanke took a few glances, motioned to close the coffin lid again, and asked Yongmo, "When will the burial be?"

"Seal it tonight and bury it the day after tomorrow." Yong Mo replied.

"It's urgent."

Li Nanke nodded and left the meditation room.

As the door closed, the room fell into darkness and silence.After an unknown amount of time, the coffin suddenly made a 'clang' sound.

It seems that something inside is knocking on the wooden fish...

……

Walking out of the temple, Li Nanke saw a familiar figure waiting in front of him.

The woman is tall and tall, wearing fish leather boots, half of her face is covered by a silver mask, revealing a sense of mystery.

Arms folded, leaning against the trunk.

It's still that cool and icy Yujie style.

"You like posing very much." Li Nanke couldn't help joking.

Nie Ying didn't understand, but she didn't bother to understand, so she asked coldly, "How is it? Did you find anything?"

"Normal, but not normal."

"What do you mean?"

Nie Ying frowned.

Li Nanke shook his head and sighed: "I can't say it, but it feels weird. What about you, did you find anything?"

"No."

The woman's light-colored cherry lips spat out two words.

"Are you sure you checked carefully?"

"Would you like to go?"

Li Nanke frowned: "Nie Qianhu, although I know that you are used to treating others like this. But now I am assisting you in handling cases. Your attitude can easily dampen my enthusiasm for investigating cases."

"First, I exchanged favors with you. Second, I have a bargaining chip to threaten you."

Nie Ying raised Yubai's chin slightly, "You can't let me serve you tea and water, and wait on you, sir."

Li Nanke heheed, and said, "You are very unpopular with men."

"I don't want to please men either."

Nie Ying made no secret of her disgust and ridicule towards men in her words, and added, "Especially you."

……

When I got home, it was already evening.

Li Nanke found out that Leng Xinnan had finished her massage, and couldn't help but be surprised: "It's so early today?"

Leng Xinnan, who was sweating from the shower, didn't put on a good face.

When Li Nanke saw the silver gun beside him, he knew why the woman was angry. He touched his nose guiltily: "Well... I didn't take the initiative to help investigate the case, I just analyzed it casually."

After all, the other party had solemnly instructed him not to get involved in the case of Princess Shanyun.

It still disappointed her.

"It's your freedom to investigate the case." Leng Xinnan picked up the towel and said lightly, strands of undried hair stuck to her pink neck, making her skin even more moist.

Luo Qianqiu, who entered the room with the food, saw this and said with a smile:

"It's not my fault, it's my concubine who thinks this is a good opportunity to make meritorious service, so she wants to ask him to take the initiative to help with the investigation. If he makes meritorious service, his official career will be smoother in the future."

Seeing his wife taking the initiative to take the blame, Li Nanke's face was filled with anger at this moment.

As expected, she is my good queen, and the harem will be under your control from now on.

and many more!

Why did I suddenly have this idea?
Well, it should be the influence of 'Red Rain' recently, after all, I am a good man who is devoted to love.

Li Nanke found a reason for his dirty thoughts.

"This is different. The water here is very deep."

Hearing that Luo Qianqiu asked Li Nanke to intervene, Leng Xinnan couldn't show her face anymore, so she had to explain patiently, "Once there is a mistake, Li Nanke may become a victim at that time. You don't understand officialdom, you don't understand the inside danger."

Luo Qianqiu put down the food, stepped forward and took Leng Xinnan's arm to apologize:

"It's my concubine's fault, and my husband also said that I shouldn't get involved. And he said that if the case is investigated, Sister Leng will be very disappointed with him.

This is what Xianggong doesn't want to see, after all, in his heart, Sister Leng is a very important person, and he even had a fight with his concubine because of this. "

Speaking of this, bitterness and sadness appeared on Luo Qianqiu's face.

The woman went on to say:

"But I still hope that my husband will be successful soon, so I forced him to go. In short, I didn't think carefully about this matter. If Sister Leng gets angry, just scold her."

"That... is not..."

Hearing Luo Qianqiu's words, Leng Xinnan didn't know what to say for a while, so she stuttered.

Especially when he heard 'she is a very important person in Li Nanke's heart', a blush suddenly appeared on the beautiful snow dimple, which was hard to draw and hard to describe, and his face became inexplicably hot.

But when he heard that the husband and wife quarreled because of her and slept in separate beds, they felt uneasy and guilty.

"Actually, it's not a bad thing to take the initiative to get involved."

Leng Xinnan began to smooth things over, "After all, Li Nanke is so smart, if he really finds the body of Princess Shanyun, he will definitely benefit greatly."

"That's good."

With a relieved expression, Luo Qianqiu smiled and said, "Sister Leng, stay for dinner first."

"No, I—"

"Leave it, or the husband will blame the concubine again." Luo Qianqiu's tone was very sincere.

"Well, that's fine."

At this point, Leng Xinnan could only accept it.

Seeing an impending storm being resolved by Luo Qianqiu lightly, Li Nanke was deeply moved.

The madam is very capable, and she is ashamed of her husband.
