Chapter 112 Officials come to visit
Hearing this, Ni Chenyi smiled instead of getting angry, "Haha, you're so good at hiding it."
He also laughed, knowing that Ni Chenyi was just teasing him and didn't believe that he would do such a thing.
"Let's go, people are coming to our door, let's go down and have a look." Ni Chenyi stepped out.
He went back to the house, took his own baggage, and followed Ni Chenyi downstairs.
The shop owner Li Zongyuan was also a well-known figure in Chang'an. To show his respect, the team of officers and soldiers did not make any noise outside the door or in the lobby. Instead, Li Zongyuan invited him to a quiet room in the backyard, and the woman was also in the room.
The two of them went downstairs, and the waiting waiter immediately led them to the backyard.
The door of the room was open, and there were more than a dozen officers and soldiers carrying swords standing inside, as well as a crying woman. Ni Chenyi entered the room first. Li Zongyuan must have told the officers and soldiers her identity, so after Ni Chenyi entered the room, a
The young official sitting in the guest seat stood up together with Li Zongyuan, who was sitting in the main seat.
"Miss Ni, this is Mr. Wen Gongyi, the young minister of Dali Temple." Li Zongyuan introduced him first.
"Miss Ni, you are polite." Wen Gongyi raised his hand and saluted Ni Chenyi.
"Mr. Wen is well." Ni Chenyi returned the greeting. Since he was not wearing a Taoist robe, he was using common courtesy.
Ni Chenyi was somewhat surprised by Wen Gongyi's arrival, "Mr. Wen, what happened that made you personally take action?"
"It's like this," Wen Gongyi pointed to the woman sitting at the end of the table, "This woman was molested before, and Taoist Sansheng is quite suspicious. We know that Taoist Sansheng and you have the same friendship, and Mr. Ni usually treats
We have taken great care of you, and everyone at Dali Temple is grateful for it. We will never make things difficult for Taoist Sansheng this time. We only need to ask the whole story and then go back and recover."
Ni Chenyi said, "Mr. Wen, you are the young minister of Dali Temple. You will not handle anything but major cases. We, the wise, don't tell secrets. What on earth do you want to do?"
"Miss Ni, I am also on an errand, please be considerate." Wen Gongyi was embarrassed.
Seeing that Wen Gongyi refused to tell the truth, Ni Chenyi walked towards the crying woman. This woman was about twenty-three or four years old, with a graceful figure. Although her hair was messy, she could still tell that she was quite pretty.
Ni Chenyi looked at the woman up and down, then suddenly struck out after a moment, hitting the woman's chest directly with his right palm.
No one expected that Ni Chenyi would suddenly take action, and the same was true for the woman. But when something happened suddenly, she reacted instinctively and hurriedly raised her hand to block Ni Chenyi's right palm.
Ni Chenyi's move was aimed at verifying her guess. Seeing the woman take action, she did not continue to attack, "This gentleman, even if he is pretending, he always has to change his official socks."
The woman knew that she had been exposed. She lowered her head speechlessly and looked at her hakama.
Ni Chenyi turned around and looked at Wen Gongyi, "Master Wen, are you here?"
What do you want to do?"
At this point, Wen Gongyi could only bite the bullet and hold on to the end, "Miss Ni, this woman was bullied, and we were just ordered to handle the case."
Seeing that Wen Gongyi was not telling the truth, Ni Chenyi turned around and asked, "What kind of disaster have you caused that even Dali Temple was alarmed?"
"I just entered the city." He said.
Ni Chenyi frowned and thought, and after a moment he suddenly realized, "I know, your dark horse must have caused the trouble." After saying that, he turned to look at Wen Gongyi, "Master Wen, you suspect that he is the murderer of Prince Hong and others.
?”
Wen Gongyi looked embarrassed and said nothing.
Seeing Wen Gongyi's acquiescence, Ni Chenyi felt calm, "This matter must have nothing to do with him, I can vouch for him, not to mention that his dark horse has just been weaned and cannot carry anyone."
Wen Gongyi nodded awkwardly but still didn't answer.
Ni Chenyi thought for a while and then said, "Since you are here, you must have a way to verify it. Why don't you tell me how you want to verify it?"
Wen Gongyi hesitated, but finally said, "When the masked man fled Chang'an with the rebels on his back, he was shot in the left shoulder by an arrow fired by Eunuch Liu."
Hearing Wen Gongyi's words, Ni Chenyi turned around and looked at him. No need to speak, a questioning look was enough.
He knew why she was looking at him, but he was confident and didn't panic.
His expression was as usual, and Ni Chenyi knew what he was doing, so she came close to him and whispered, "Dali Temple has one chief official, the Minister of Dali Temple. Under the chief officer, there are two deputies, the Young Minister of Dali Temple. Mr. Wen personally takes action.
, which shows that this matter is of great importance. In order to prove your innocence, you might as well let them come forward to examine your injuries."
Although Ni Chenyi spoke in a low voice, it was only symbolic. In fact, she knew that everyone could hear what she said. Seeing that she was so reasonable, Wen Gongyi and others were relieved. This was the daughter of the God of Wealth, and they really could not afford to offend her.
"I am a Taoist priest from Longhu Mountain. Just because they doubt me, I will take off my clothes and be exposed in public. If it spreads, it will be a small matter for my reputation to be damaged, but it will be a big deal for me to lose the prestige of Longhu Mountain." He said coldly.
.
Seeing that Wen Gongyi and others refused to take off their clothes for inspection, they immediately became wary.
Ni Chenyi was also a little embarrassed. What she said was not unreasonable. If she couldn't save it, she would feel lost. After a short silence, Ni Chenyi said to Wen Gongyi, "Master Wen, I have been with him day and night and am familiar with his character. Could you please reply to Master Wen?"
Tell Shangguan that I am willing to vouch for him, and if something goes wrong, you can go to the Ni Mansion to hold him accountable."
Hearing Ni Chenyi's words, Wen Gongyi looked embarrassed, and at the same time, he became a little more suspicious.
Not seeing Mr. Wen's appearance, Ni Chenyi added another bet, "Mr. Wen, we are not just from the same school."
Ni Chenyi's words have reached this point. Wen Gongyi is not a fool. If he doesn't give face, he will really offend people. However, he does not dare to make any independent opinions and can only use delaying measures. "Well, who is Miss Ni?"
, if you are willing to be his guarantee, we will leave first, go back and report to him for instructions, and then we can make further calculations."
"Thank you." Ni Chenyi raised his hand to express his thanks.
Wen Gongyi sighed, raised his hand to Li Zongyuan who was standing aside, and walked towards the door.
Just when Wen Gongyi walked up to him and squinted suspiciously, he suddenly said, "Wait a minute." .??.??
Hearing the words, Wen Gongyi frowned and stopped, and the officers and soldiers who were about to leave also stopped and turned around.
"Since you no longer threaten me, I will not embarrass you," he said, looking at Li Zongyuan, "Li Zongyuan, could you please be a witness? The other day, Uncle Master and others will come, and you have to prove that I am not
He was forced to take off his clothes and humiliate his master, but he voluntarily went shirtless to prove his innocence."
"Yes, yes, Taoist Master is compassionate." Li Zongyuan nodded repeatedly.
He handed the baggage he carried with him to Ni Chenyi, then unbuttoned the cloth and took off his Taoist robe.
"Just expose your left shoulder." Ni Chenyi tried to stop him.
"Let them take a closer look." He shook his head.
Under the Taoist robe, there is a middle coat, and under the middle coat, there are underwear. Take them off one by one, leaving your upper body completely naked.
Seeing that there was no arrow wound on the left shoulder, Wen Gongyi and others had many accidents. The woman who pretended to be humiliated felt unwilling and reached out to touch her back.
She didn't take it seriously. Ni Chenyi got angry and pulled the woman away, "Who do you think you are? Can you touch my man?"
The woman's official position was lower than that of Wen Gongyi. Even Wen Gongyi did not dare to offend Ni Chenyi, and she did not dare to be presumptuous. Although Ni Chenyi broke out in anger, she did not dare to refute him. She just stood in shock, her face flushed.
"Have you seen enough?" Ni Chenyi raised his eyebrows and looked around.
"I have been wronged by Taoist priest. I have offended many people. I have offended many people." Wen Gongyi repeatedly cupped his hands and bowed to apologize.
Ni Chenyi didn't answer and helped to put on clothes.
In full view of everyone, he didn't want Ni Chenyi to help him get dressed, but he couldn't push her away. Thinking that Ni Chenyi had said that he was her man before, he couldn't help but feel his heart beat faster and become shy and embarrassed.
"Thanks to Taoist Priest's tolerance and generosity, I have one more unkind request." Wen Gongyi said with an apologetic smile.
"It's unkind
If you ask, please don’t open your mouth." Ni Chenyi said angrily.
He guessed what the other party wanted to ask, but pretended to be angry, "You want me to take off my pants too?"
"I don't dare, I don't dare. Priest Sansheng said something serious," Wen Gongyi took the opportunity to say, "There is indeed no arrow wound on the Taoist Priest's body. This matter should have nothing to do with the Taoist Priest. Dare I ask, Priest, where were you ten days ago?"
"In my house." Ni Chenyi's face was very ugly.
"Miss Ni is joking. Priest Sansheng has just entered the city. How could he be in your house ten days ago?" Wen Gongyi sneered.
"You also know that he has just entered the city. The prostitution building was burned down and the officials were killed. What does it have to do with him?" Ni Chenyi was really angry. "Why do I feel that you are not here for him, but for our Ni family?"
"Ms. Ni, please calm down, we are also following orders," Wen Gongyi waved to the officers and soldiers, signaling them to retreat, then raised his hand to Ni Chenyi and said, "I am busy with official duties, and I have offended many people. I will go to the house to apologize for the thorns on another day.
"
Ni Chenyi was furious as he took off his Taoist robes in public and was inspected. "You, the dignified young minister of Dali Temple, a fourth-rank official, are saying that you are asking for forgiveness while carrying a thorn bush. We, the Ni family, cannot afford it!"
Wen Gongyi knew that Ni Chenyi was mocking him, but the Ni family was rich enough to rival the country. Although Ni Zhuo was a merchant, he was awarded the title of second-rank Duke. He couldn't afford to offend him, so he had to apologize repeatedly and retreat in embarrassment.
"They didn't mean to make things difficult for me. There's no need to resent them." He said to Ni Chenyi.
"How generous you are." Ni Chenyi was not angry either. "If I was forced to take off my clothes, would you be angry?"
"They didn't force me. Besides, I'm a man." He shook his head.
"That won't work either. I'm so angry." Ni Chenyi gasped for air.
He was speechless. When he was at Longhu Mountain, he only found Ni Chenyi to be generous, but he had never noticed that this guy had such a bad temper.
Wen Gongyi and others had already exited the door at this time. They never imagined that it would turn out like this. After leaving the house, they felt uneasy and confessed to the two of them again and apologized sincerely.
Seeing that the time was ripe, he raised his hand and pointed south, "That's all. It's not difficult for you. Ten days ago, I was in Yizhuang, three hundred miles away from here. There was a strong ghost in Yizhuang. I stayed there for several days and set up the altar to perform rituals.
, kill..."
Before he could finish speaking, Ni Chenyi interrupted him, "Don't tell them."
The key clues had already been revealed, but Ni Chenyi wouldn't let him tell them, so he stopped telling them.
Wen Gongyi and others retreated in disgrace. Once they were out of sight, Wen Gongyi ordered in a low voice, "Immediately send someone to Yizhuang to verify the authenticity."
"My lord, who should I send?" the woman asked.
