Chapter 29 He Hastily Returned
"End of rest!"
“Yes, Master.”
"Teach four donors to the Wangu Tiankeng in the Houshan Mountain."
"Several donors, please come here." The little monk Moxiu bowed and led the four people to the back mountain.
"Gu Jiu, you said that these four people will not have any trouble when they passed like this. You see, if we hadn't been for warning the previous two times, we almost had something to do. They were the ones who came over rashly and would not have left their lives there." Mo Jinyan stood not far away and watched the abbot return to see Yang Buduo dead, and couldn't help asking.
"As long as we don't take the exam too close, we first saw the 100-meter sinkhole, we can only check it at the edge without any danger. If we get too close, it depends on their luck." Gumandong replied lightly, not optimistic about these people.
If the four of them saw the situation from a distance, they could stop and immediately send someone back to ask for support, and they might be able to stay peaceful, but if these people had any rude behavior, it would be unstoppable.
As it turned out, Gumandong's guess was not wrong. Just half an hour later, Yang Butuo, covered in blood and the unconscious coroner were carried back by the monk.
Although Yang Butuo looked seriously injured, he was just a skin injury. Most of the blood on his body was contaminated with others and he had no worries about his life.
However, the indescribable look of caution in Yang Butuo's eyes showed that the situation was beyond expectations.
"I'm sorry to ask the abbot to take care of the coroner. I need to go back to Jingyang County immediately. This matter is too suspicious and the yamen runners have died. Don't let anyone go to the ten thousand bones in the back mountain, so as not to lose their lives in vain." Yang Buduo asked Abbot Jikong to be cautious.
"I will definitely not let someone trespass in, please rest assured Captain Yang."
After receiving the reply from Abbot Jikong, Yang Butuo rode his horse to leave. Now, except for the monks in the temple and the pilgrims who had already stayed there, the pilgrims who came to burn incense in the past dared not stay for a long time except for the murders in the back mountain, and left early to avoid causing trouble.
About the night when it was late at night, there was a sound of horse hooves and footsteps outside the temple gate. As the monks in the temple opened, the slammed temple gate was indeed the commander of the guards of Jingyang County, led a team of 200 people, including Yang Budu and some yamen runners. Not only that, even Jiang Tianluo, who had just left to work in Jingyang County, came with him.
However, Commander Wang and others found the abbot and went straight to the back mountain, while Jiang Tianluo was worried about Gumandong's safety and came here specially.
When he saw Gumandong's unimpeded, he breathed a sigh of relief. After all, when he first heard that Wangutiankeng was suddenly seen in Baima Temple, the two yamen runners who went to check unfortunately died. When he found out that the Wangutiankeng was a woman staying in the house and a pilgrimage, Jiang Tianluo knew that the woman must be Gumandong.
It is because she is the only woman who lives in White Horse Temple now, and this is the reason why Jiang Tianluo hurried back.
"Mandong, you're nothing wrong with me." Jiang Tianluo suddenly broke in and scared Gumandong, but his heart was slightly warm.
At least the cold-faced Jiang Tianluo didn't care about her nominal wife at all, otherwise she wouldn't have appeared here at such a time.
Putting his clothes off the bed, Gumandong walked to Jiang Tianluo and poured him a cup of tea to quench his thirst.
"I'm fine. But you must be hungry when you come in a hurry. Let's drink a glass of water first. I'll ask Yuhuan to borrow a kitchen and get some vegetarian dishes for you."
"It's okay. I ate dry food before I came and was not hungry. But you were frightened today. Fortunately, it's okay, otherwise I would be uneasy. When you encounter such a terrible thing, my husband is not by your side, I."
Gumandong stretched out his hand and slapped Jiang Tianluo's lips, then closed his hand and sat opposite him.
"I'm fine, it's just a pile of dead bones, so it won't scare me too much." Gumandong smiled indifferently, but his indifferent attitude made Jiang Tianluo inexplicably angry. He reached out and pressed Gumandong's shoulder, but she couldn't help but take a breath of air conditioning.
Her right hand, which was originally taking off the bandage to make her sleep more comfortable, would be pressed heavily, and the pain almost made her think she was going to dislocate again.
"You, you are injured." Jiang Tianluo immediately withdrew his hand, a hint of self-blame appeared in his eyes, and he frowned slightly.
"It's okay, it's just a dislocated place. However, the story of the Ten Thousand Bones of the White Horse Temple is really shocking. You haven't seen that scene. The number of white bones is endless, and it makes people feel scared to see it. Who or what kind of power is so cruel that he killed so many people to bury his bones here. Those who died in vain may die even if they are underground. Husband, will you take over this case and make the dead clear? "Gu Mandong said, and he couldn't help asking Jiang Tianluo like this.
Logically speaking, he was so interested in the case of Hongyi. He could investigate the truth without Lord Jia's instruction. I think this case is no exception.
Jiang Tianluo was silent for a moment, and finally stood up and looked at the dark night sky outside the window.
"This case will be investigated by the magistrate of Jingyang County. If the circumstances are serious, the Shangfeng Pingnan Prefecture Office of Jingyang County will be thoroughly investigated. It is not my turn to intervene."
"Hmm? You don't interfere in this case? Why?" Gumandong asked involuntarily.
Since it was the magistrate of Jingyang County who came to find Jiang Tianluo, wasn’t there anything to ask him for help?
Now this case is just right. Even if Jiang Tianluo intervenes, it’s nothing, but why would he say he wouldn’t intervene in this case?
"What do you think I am, and wherever I am, I can interfere in any case? If it weren't for business, I would have to come to Jingyang County, then I would have only accompanied you to worship your father-in-law and mother-in-law in the White Horse Temple and go back directly. Then you might have encountered such a thing."
"Then are you not curious at all?" Gumandong was unwilling to let Jiang Tianluo give up on the case and not investigate the truth.
This is completely different from the Jiang Tianluo who she remembers who must be clearly identified as long as it was an unjust case.
How can Jiang Tianluo let go when he encounters a case?
"I'm not curious. This case is not my control. You just happened to be the one who will be there. Tomorrow, there will be a yamen runner to ask you. You can directly explain the situation at that time, so don't say more about the mess. If there is no accident, we will stay for at most two days and we will leave White Horse Temple."
"Where to go? Go back to Qi County?"
"No. I'm not relieved to let you and Yuhuan go back alone. You can go to Yujing with me."
"Yujing? Could it be that something happened? Why did you come to Jingyang County but suddenly go to the capital?" Gu Mandong couldn't help asking, the sudden turn was too unexpected.
"Don't worry, you can go home after handling a small matter properly." Jiang Tianluo responded lightly, but the cautious look that flashed in his eyes did not seem like a small matter at all.
