Chapter fifty-ninth Dao Heart 10

Yu Xuanzi knelt in the yamen and confessed to all the accusations of Ma Fuhu. Not only did he hand over the twenty taels of remuneration Ma Fuhu gave him intact, but he even added a lot of details to the content of the case.

For example, what was the weather on the day he met Ma Fuhu? What vegetables were planted next to the Wang family’s cemetery? He even took the price to start and was rejected by Ma Fuhu.

The county magistrate was stunned. It was the first time that he had encountered such a calm and frank criminal in seven or eight years since he was in charge of the county. Not only did he not hide it, but he was also afraid that he would not be able to make up his crimes. He sighed at the moment if he could encounter such a suspect in every case, he would probably have a few kilograms of meat.

The county magistrate was full of evidence and the county magistrate was so smooth that he felt like he was walking through the motions. He pronounced the verdict in court: "Okay, this case has been found out, and now our government..."

"uh-huh!"

As soon as the county magistrate said this, the man in black next to Bai Jinyu coughed hard and stood strangely at the conspicuous place at the door. The county magistrate was interrupted and immediately looked at the yamen with annoyance.

After he looked clearly, he immediately looked tight and stood up from his seat. Bai Jinyu's eyes were bright and his heart was bright, and he further confirmed that this man in black was definitely not simple. Perhaps it was 80% of the way to the county magistrate.

He must have heard the news that Yu Xuanzi was arrested in the county government office just like them, so he rushed here to rescue him. But it was possible that the incident happened suddenly. When he received the news, the county magistrate had already been promoted. He had no time to inform the county magistrate, so he could only appear outside his magistrate and wait for an opportunity to remind the county magistrate in this way.

The man in black immediately recovered as usual. Seeing that he had no intention of revealing his identity, the county magistrate sat down again as if he had some insight, and turned to stare at the fat Taoist in the hall and was in trouble.

It is so difficult to be a sesame official around the capital. A senior official is to kill people, and high-ranking officials in the capital are blooming everywhere. Everyone has to watch their faces carefully. Even such a smooth case today will be interfered with.

The county magistrate thought for a long time and felt that it was not appropriate to make a verdict at the moment. It would be better to use the word "drag" to ask the superiors for their opinions. So he changed his words and said, "I still feel that there are many strange things in this case. I will detain everyone first and then retrial it at a date!"

When he heard this, Yu Xuanzi, who was determined to be in jail, exploded and made a name for himself and said, "Why do you have to choose a date to retrial? Didn't my confession match theirs? Isn't the evidence also conclusive? The plaintiff is here, and I plead guilty and punish me. What else do you have to know about it?"

He asked Ma Fuhu and Wang Xiucai again, "Do you have anything else to be clear about? If you don't know, please tell me it now. I will give you an answer one by one!"

This is a rare wonder in a century. Some people are eager to convict themselves. Not only are the county magistrates in the yamen hall confused, but almost all the yamen runners, constables and people watching the fun were incredible and they whispered to each other.

"Master, the county magistrate said it well. This case is indeed very strange!" A crisp voice suddenly sounded outside the yamen. People looked at each other and said that the person who was talking was Bai Jinyu.

The county magistrate, who was at a loss, immediately felt like a savior and asked loudly to her: "Who is talking here?"

Bai Jinyu was about to step forward, Feng Chen gently pulled her, she gently pulled her hand back and comforted her softly: "It's okay."

Feng Chen let go of his hand and told him, "Be careful."

Bai Jinyu said "yes" and walked alone towards an entrance opened for her by the yamen runners.

Several people who were kneeling in the hall turned to look at her together. When Yu Xuanzi saw that Bai Jinyu had walked up, her whole body was tense, and her face was distorted in shock.

Bai Jinyu stood up and faced the county magistrate in the hall. He was about to kneel down and said, "I am not etiquette. I just heard what the girl said and seemed to understand the meaning of this official."

Bai Jinyu smiled and said that the county magistrate just said "there is something strange" and it was obviously a refusal, but now she said that she "seems to understand what he means", obviously just wanting to hear her opinion.

Of course, Bai Jinyu told her honestly, after all, this is the purpose of her coming here.

She slowly turned her eyes to Yu Xuanzi and asked, "Did you make this tombstone by Ma Fuhu?"

Yu Xuanzi said sternly: "Yes!" His expression was never fake.

Bai Jinyu smiled and stopped looking at him. He said to the county magistrate: "Report to the great master, as far as the people know, Taoist priests break the law and are not just guilty of being punished by the people. According to Article 21 of Chapter 3 of the precepts issued by Shizu of the Xuanmen during the Ganchen period, if Taoist priests commit crimes of insulting the public, they must first move to the single stick and drive them out of Taoist priests without regard for the crime of Taoism."

"Master, am I right?" At this point, Bai Jinyu turned around and asked Yu Xuanzi who was kneeling on the ground.

Yu Xuanzi narrowed her eyes and stared at Bai Jinyu, who had clear and unambiguous thoughts, trying her best to see the intention behind her words.

"The Taoist in the hall, is this woman's words true?" the county magistrate asked Yu Xuanzi.

Yu Xuanzi took his gaze from Bai Jinyu's face first and admitted: "Not bad."

Bai Jinyu nodded with satisfaction and said, "So, as a superior real person with a dignified view of the world, Taoist Master Yu Xuanzi will definitely not do such a bad thing that is unfair and bad, and ruins the Tao, right?" At the end of the story, she raised her eyebrows and looked at Yu Xuanzi.

The crowd suddenly exclaimed, and the county magistrate was also shocked. Yu Xuanzi's name has been like thunder recently. Could it be that the fat Taoist priest in this hall is the true person Yu Xuan, the Minister of Rites, who had just been enthroned by the emperor?

Tough and tricky.

Yu Xuanzi committed the case before he took office. What should I do now? Will he be sentenced to convict?

Onlookers whispered earnestly.

"This Taoist is a Taoist priest from the perspective of the world!"

"Not an ordinary Taoist priest, or a real person..."

"The Lijing Temple is the authentic Xuanmen Sect. Why does this Taoist do such a thing?"

"Who knows, no wonder it's strange!"

...

Yu Xuanzi looked at Bai Jinyu, her fleshy face turned blue and white, the sweat on her head flowed down like beans, and the look of fear in her eyes became stronger and stronger.

Bai Jinyu looked at him and continued, "I think Taoist Master Yu Xuanzi will never use the century-old reputation of the view of the world," she deliberately paused and said, "Your future is kidding, right?"

This is Bai Jinyu's fourth question.

Yu Xuanzi began to tremble and said trembling as if he was on a knife and chopper: "What are you doing?"

The county magistrate also asked, "What do you say about this girl?"

Bai Jinyu stopped looking at Yu Xuanzi, stepped forward and walked to the tombstone of the Ma family dug out of the Wang family's field. He read the words on the monument to everyone again: "First take the tomb of Ma Gong Tianpei... Taikang Jiazi year was established."

Bai Jinyu came to an abrupt end when she read this.

The yamen was waiting for her silently.

"This," the county magistrate asked, "What's wrong?"

Bai Jinyu put his hands behind him, thought for a while, and said loudly: "If the people remember correctly, there was no Jiazi year in the twenty-eight years of Emperor Taikang in the previous dynasty."

After the words came to an end, the audience shouted in a low voice.

Feng Chen looked at the figure standing with his hands behind his back and talking, and suddenly felt that he had returned to a certain moment seven years ago. He was recalling that Bai Jinyu turned around and comforted him and smiled. Reality and memories seemed to overlap again, and it was a bit unreal.

After hearing what Bai Jinyu said, the county magistrate immediately looked around and waved to a yamen runner beside him, "Hurry up, get the origin of me!"

The yamen runner received the order and retreated, and in just a short while he received a yellowed almanac. The yamen runner dusted off the dust from the book and handed it to the county magistrate, who immediately went to the desk to read it quickly.

But after a while, the county magistrate was shaking and exclaimed in surprise: "It's true! There is really no Jiazi year in Taikang!"

A neat admiration sounded all over the room. When the eyes of Bai Jinyu were focused on Bai Jinyu, many people also looked at Fengchen.

"Is this your wife? It's so great!"

"Isn't such a lady very powerful at home?"

"Yes, it must be. You see, she can remember things that happened for more than three hundred years so clearly. Her husband's accounts and money are not allowed to be kept in a tight manner!"

"Oh, a woman without talent is virtue. It's so terrible to be with such a wife."

"Hey, we said your wife, why did you not react at all?"

"That's right, I guess they should have no relationship."

...

In the midst of the crowd, Feng Chen said, "My wife is very good, I like it very much."

"Oh!!!" The crowd surrounded Feng Chen and exclaimed a good thing, which made Bai Jinyu look back and look. He was about to ask something, but the county magistrate in the hall had already asked her: "So in this way, Taoist Master Yu Xuanzi was deliberately doing it?"

Bai Jinyu turned around and said solemnly: "That's true that Master Yu Xuanzi is a master of the world's view of leaving the world. He eliminates evil and promotes good, is righteous and has a good reputation. He must have seen this rich family bullying the poor people, so he saw that he was injustice and drew his sword to help him, and came up with this wonderful plan to turn the rich family into the government."

Bai Jinyu looked at Yu Xuanzi with her eyes jokingly, feeling the pleasure of revenge.

"So, why did Taoist Master Yu Xuanzi just now want to admit his crime and accept the law?" the county magistrate asked.

Bai Jinyu pointed to Changyi at the door and said, "I just heard the little Taoist priest at the door saying that recently, a group of believers were pestering Taoist priest Yu Xuanzi all day long in the Departure View, and they insisted that he accept disciples. In order to avoid these people, the Taoist priest was eager to find a place for peace. Otherwise, sir, you can ask the little Taoist priest."

Before the county magistrate asked, Changyi had already shouted at the door: "My magistrate, this is indeed the case!"

Bai Jinyu looked at Changyi with great appreciation. She is indeed the best among the younger generation of the world view, and her awareness is high.

The problem was solved so easily, and the county magistrate was also very amnesty. He hurriedly got up from the hall and walked out, holding up Yu Xuanzi, who was completely depressed with his hands, and said humbly: "Why didn't you say it earlier? I almost misjudged the good person. The Taoist priest stayed behind closed doors if he didn't want to accept disciples. There was no need to make such a bad decision!"

"Where are there," Yu Xuanzi glanced at Bai Jinyu with a smile and said helplessly to the county magistrate: "I am confused for a moment, I hope the county magistrate will forgive me!"

The county magistrate announced that Ma Fuhou was punished by the 30th Banguan Pass and entered the county jail. The Ma family raised their ancestors and returned the cemetery to Wang Xiucai, while Yu Xuanzi was released without guilt on the spot.

Bai Jinyu took Yu Xuanzi, who was safe but depressed, out of the yamen, and Changyi almost jumped up with joy.

Yu Xuanzi scolded coldly: "How are you happy? Do monks have any rules?" He hated that he didn't understand himself at all.

Changyi quickly stopped the joy, remembering that he had not yet thanked Bai Jinyu, thinking that Yu Xuanzi was scolding him for this, so he bowed to Bai Jinyu and said, "Thank you for your help, Changyi is here to thank the abbot!"

Yu Xuanzi pulled Changyi and said angrily: "What qualifications do you have to replace the abbot? Why do you want to thank her? I don't allow you to thank her!"

Changyi lowered his hands and said in confusion: "Why is this? The Taoist priest can clear away the grievances today, all because of his righteousness and righteousness?"

"You, what do you know?" Yu Xuanzi was so angry that her face turned red and stamped her feet, "She is going to kill me, do you know? Who wants her to save me! I'm just one step away from the jail, maybe I can be expelled from the sect... Now it's all ruined by her!!"

Bai Jinyu smiled so hard that she admired Yu Xuanzi's anger. Suddenly she remembered something and asked Fengchen: "Why didn't you see the man in black again after leaving the yamen?"

"Go away."

"Leave?" Bai Jinyu asked, "Who is he?"

Feng Chen frowned.

Bai Jinyu said: "What's wrong?"

Feng Chen was silent for a moment, looked at her solemnly and said, "He is Han Yan."

Bai Jinyu was shocked: "Han Yan?!!"

The Minister of Justice Han Yan, who bought the Jinshi exam questions?

No, she and Fengchen rescued Linlang from the brothel half a month ago. Linlang should have already understood the matter of Han Yan buying the question from the emperor!

Why is he still safe and has nothing to do now and can accompany the emperor to leave the country?

Feng Chen saw Bai Jinyu's confusion and whispered: "Linlang is dead."

Bai Jinyu couldn't believe it: "When?"
