After feeling relieved, Datou stood up straight and said, "Sir, please rest for a while while I go search their bodies."

"It's up to me," he also stood up. "You go to the county government office and ask the county magistrate to bring his boss and government servants to see me."

"Okay," Datou nodded, "I'll be back as soon as possible."

The two of them came to the front yard, and Datou stopped him before going out, and ordered him to bring the little nun over before going to the county government. This little nun with a religious title of one is the only survivor of Shifang Nunnery, so he must ensure that

her safety.

Da Tou left in response and soon brought the little nun back, along with Mr. Hei.

Da Tou did not leave the problem to him, but told the little nun the truth about the situation in Shifang An on the way back. The direct result was that the little nun had a broken heart, lost consciousness and fainted, and was carried back by Da Tou on horseback.

After putting the little nun down, Da Tou immediately turned around and rushed to the county government office.

During the period when Datou left, he carefully inspected the bodies of the thieves and chiefs, but found no letters. This result was also within his expectation, because no matter who ordered Jinding Villa to plot against Yu Yi, they would not

Give people a handle and leave evidence.

No useful clues were found on the corpse, so I wanted to go to the backyard and check the boxes of gunpowder. Gunpowder was not common at this time, and apart from the government manufacturing offices, there were only a few shops that could make gunpowder.

Just as I was about to go to the backyard, I heard a cooing sound coming from under the eaves of the east wing. The sound of homing pigeons was naturally familiar to me. I followed the sound and found a bird covered with black cloth in a shady place.

He lifted up the black cloth of a pigeon cage and found a homing pigeon inside.

A small bamboo tube used to deliver letters is tied to the pigeon's leg. At this time, the bamboo tube is empty and there is no letter in it.

The spirit of this homing pigeon was a little sluggish. It had obviously flown a long distance before. It can be seen that this homing pigeon flew from a very far away place. This group of people carried this homing pigeon with them for only one purpose, which was to win.

Then the homing pigeon is released to inform the person behind the scenes of the result.

There are various indications that the reason why this group of people chose to take action at this time was precisely because they knew that he was not in Chang'an, and he had only left Chang'an for a few days. The only way for this group of people to get the news so quickly was to receive someone's flight.

Pigeons carry messages, so it can be seen that this homing pigeon was probably released from Chang'an.

The reason why homing pigeons can transmit messages is precisely because they have the habit of returning home. In other words, as long as the homing pigeon is released, it will return to the person who sent it.

Thinking of this, I carried the pigeon cage to the backyard and carefully inspected the gunpowder and the wooden box containing the gunpowder. There should have been a seal on the wooden box, but it had been torn off. In addition, there were several sharp objects.

There are scratch marks, scratches from several boxes

The traces are all located in the same position, which means that there should have been writing on the scratched location before. This is also a very important clue. You must know that the wooden boxes of each business are different, and the location of the writing size is also different.

I brought something to draw talismans with me on this trip, so I took out the talisman paper and picked up a pen to write. At the moment, I and Datou still had some unfinished business and could not go back immediately. I had to inform Yu Yi of what happened in Shifang Temple, including the contents contained in the wooden box.

The clues and this extremely important homing pigeon must be sent back to Chang'an.

Since we currently have no birds that can track the homing pigeons, we cannot release them immediately. We can only wait for the two of them to return and release the homing pigeons from Chang'an. It is still possible to track everyone over a short distance.

Just when I was finishing writing the letter and putting away the pen and ink, I heard the cry of the little nun outside. When I turned around after hearing the sound, the little nun had already run into the backyard crying and saw several headless corpses in the backyard. The little nun

If struck by lightning, he screams and faints again.

Upon seeing this, he hurriedly stepped out and caught her before she fell to the ground. He would rather see the little nun faint than cry upsettingly.

Shifang'an is not far from the county seat, and it didn't take long for Datou to come back. He came back first, and the county magistrate and others were still on their way.

He briefly explained what he had discovered to Da Tou. After listening to the explanation, Da Tou nodded repeatedly and then asked, "Sir, do you want the government to send this little nun and the carrier pigeon back to Chang'an?"

"Yes, and those boxes of gunpowder are also sent back together." He said.

"Then you must tell Yu Yi not to let her act rashly," Datou Duo was worried, "Anyone who dares to attack us must have a strong background. You are not in Chang'an. Even if she finds the murderer, it may not be his."

opponent."

He nodded slowly, then took out the pen and paper again and started writing again, giving a serious warning and a solemn exhortation.

When I was about to finish writing the letter, I found Da Tou coming out of the kitchen, holding a huge cloth bag in his hand.

Seeing him looking at him, Datou took the initiative and said, "These gangsters have taken away Yu Yi's home. Yu Yi must be furious and mad, and must send these people's heads back. Yu Yi will also see the murderer's head."

It can relieve anger and resolve hatred.”

"That makes sense," he nodded, "but don't rush into action yet, wait until the county magistrate comes."

After a stick of incense, the county government officials rushed over. More than sixty people came with company officials and officials. According to the official system of the Tang Dynasty, there were only so many people in a county government office. Even in the big county of Shangzhou, the county government office had the most people.

nor

More than a hundred people.

The county magistrate was a big fat man. His face was so frightened that he was shaking like chaff after getting off the sedan chair. It was reasonable for him to be scared when such a big thing happened in his jurisdiction. But what scared him the most was that the person who died was Shifang'an.

Nun, and not long ago, the Ministry of Civil Affairs sent an official document, and Yu Yi was promoted to the fifth rank of general. The most unfortunate thing is that this matter was actually discovered by the imperial censor, who was supervising all officials.

He is a first-rank official of the imperial court. According to the etiquette of the time, officials below the third rank must kneel down when they see him. The seventh-rank county magistrate, eighth-rank county magistrate, and ninth-rank chief registrar kneel in front of him, and other low-ranking officials and yamen servants kneel in front of him.

later.

Although they were in a very bad mood, it didn't make things difficult for them. The higher they were in a high position, the more reasonable they had to be, and they couldn't blame others when they were in a bad mood.

Under the command of Datou, everyone began to work separately. The little nun who was woken up cried and narrated the incident, which was recorded in the main book. The yamen moved the bodies of the murdered thieves out of the nunnery, and Wu Zuo sutured the heads of the dead nuns.

.

Before Buddhism was introduced to China, there was no such thing as cremation or urn in China. They were all buried in coffins. After Buddhists passed away, they were cremated into the altar and cremated in front of the nunnery.

They were busy from noon to sunset, and Datou and Datou were present the whole time. These people were Yu Yi's elders and classmates, and they must pay enough attention to their funerals.

Next, the county government temporarily took over the nunnery and built tombs for the people who died. Since they died in vain, they could not build pagodas, but could only build tombs. .??.

Then he handed the written letter and the pigeon cage to the little nun, and told her to take good care of it. Then he ordered the county magistrate to send out servants and carriages and horses to take good care of and closely escort the murderer's head and the few mouthfuls of gunpowder.

The boxes are also shipped together.

Rejecting the magistrate's invitation that had lingered for a few days, he got on his horse, shook the reins and went ahead. He said at the top of his head, "You should know the consequences of screwing up the errand," and then urged the horse to follow.

Da Tou Bi was ten years older. Seeing that he was in a bad mood, he felt very distressed. He followed closely behind him and comforted him harmoniously, "Sir, this is fate. We have to follow you to do great things. God will not let us worry about you."

He sighed and didn't answer.

Da Tou then said a lot of similar words, but not only did he not feel relieved, but he became more and more worried, because Da Tou and others had no worries, but he did, and his worry was Zhang Mo. The enemy would use all possible means to defeat him.

What should I do if I get angry with Zhang Mo? Zhang Mo is not only his benefactor and partner, but also his motivation to compete in martial arts, become an official, and assist the king. If something happens to Zhang Mo, he will definitely lose his mind.

Whatever a person has is his weakness, and now Zhang Mo is

His weakness, fortunately, is not weak. Zhang Mo is a master of purple energy and proficient in magic. It is not easy for others to harm her.

But even so, I was still extremely worried. I had no choice but to look up at the stars and pray silently. I just said that as long as Zhang Mo is well, I will do my best to assist the king and benefit the people. If Zhang Mo has any shortcomings, I can do anything. What a world.

The common people, the country, the country, and the country have nothing to do with me.

Although he knew that gods could not predict people's hearts, he was still worried that what he had in his heart would be evil to the world, so he hurriedly prayed again, saying that what he had in his heart was just a request, not a threat.

At the third watch, the wind picked up and dark clouds appeared in the sky. Seeing that it was going to rain, the two men shook their reins and urged their horses to rush forward while looking for shelter from the rain along the way.

The two of them were currently on the westbound official road, with no village in front of them or any store behind them. After running for more than ten miles, they still couldn't see any city or village, and at this time, the raindrops had already fallen.

"Sir, there seems to be a house ahead." Big Tou pointed forward.

Looking up, I saw a wooden house on the north side of the road not far ahead. The wooden house was not small, and there was a faint flicker of fire inside.

Not long after, the two came closer and saw the word "wine" written on the flag hanging outside the wooden house. It turned out to be a wine shop where passers-by could rest temporarily.

At this time, the door of the shop was ajar, and the two of them got off their horses. It was already raining heavily, and the black man would not be stupid enough to wait in the rain, and then ran into the dense forest with the sweaty horse and took shelter under a tree.

The wine shop is not big, and it is different from the wine shops in the north. This wine shop is a big room. There are two fire pits dug in the middle of the room. There are two iron pots on the fire pits. One is hanging up and the meat is cooked in it, and the other is upside down.

The pancakes are baked on the iron pot.

There were seven or eight bamboo tables around the fire pit. When the two came in, there were already two tables of customers. The table to the north was occupied by a few peddlers carrying burdens, and two people in different clothes sat at the table to the west.

Young young girl wearing clothes.

The owner and his wife are also Miao people, in their thirties. The woman is frying pancakes and the man is adding firewood.

Seeing the two of them entering the door, the hostess hurriedly greeted them to their seats in unskilled Chinese. The two of them had not eaten all day and were both a little hungry. When they learned that the stew in the pot was wild boar, they ordered two bowls of meat and a few pieces of meat.

There was a noodle cake, and the woman just said that there was also homemade bamboo wine, which was quite refreshing, so she ordered a tube.

While waiting for the food to be served, Datou looked left and right and looked at the diners at the other two tables. At this time, the guests at the two tables were talking to each other, but they were all talking in dialect, and he could not understand a word.
