Li Rizhi immediately scolded: "What nonsense? Why did I show my face when I found a corpse? It's not a good thing to find a corpse. Don't talk like this again in the future!"

Even if the case is discovered, he cannot speak like this. It will make people think that Li Rizhi likes someone to be killed, because this will allow him to solve the case and show his face. These two things must not be linked together, which will make people misunderstand!

Fu Guibao also knew that he was wrong. He glanced at Quan Shu, laughed dryly, and said, "Class all is not an outsider, so what can I do if I talk about it. OK, I will pay attention to it in the future!"

He took his feet out of the basin and said, "Buddhist temple is a pure place, how could it be..."

Just as he was about to make some comments, he found that Li Rizhi and Fu Guibao had already gone out, and no one cared about what he was going to make. He had no choice but to put on his shoes and go and see what kind of corpse they had.

Li Rizhi left the yard and came to the front yard. He found that the front yard was in chaos, with more than ten monks quarreling. It seemed that the monks were very anxious and their opinions were not consistent. I don’t know who to listen to.

Li Rizhizhi saw the Zhike monk standing outside the crowd with an anxious look on his face. Then he walked up and asked, "What's wrong? What's wrong?"

The monk Zhike sighed and said, "A corpse was found in the river in the backyard. This is the second time I have discovered it. It's so scary, and it's different from the last time. The one who starved to death last time, but this one seems to have been beaten to death!"

Li Rizhiqi said: "This is the second time I discovered it? Then what are you arguing? Well, do you think you want to report to the official!"

The monk from Zhike said, "Yes, the last time that was starved to death. I told the local local guard that if it is buried, no one will pursue it. But this time the corpse was beaten to death, so this time it is necessary to report it to the official. Some people say that they do not report it to the official because they are afraid of delaying the meditation in the temple. It is better to report it to the official than to delay the practice of the temple. Some say that it is better to report it to the official, so as not to have any future troubles. If the official servants pursue it and say that it is the person we killed, that would be bad!"

After hearing this, Li Rizhi immediately said loudly: "My masters, I think it's better to report to the officials. With so many of us scholars as testimony, the government will not be difficult for you. I'm thinking too much!"

After hearing this, the monks stopped quarreling. In order to avoid future troubles, it was better to report to the official. However, it was too late to enter the city at this time, so some monks ran to find the local security guard. This was also a way to report to the official. As for whether the local security guard would be reported again, the monks didn't need to worry about it.

Li Rizhi asked: "Is that body in the backyard? Let's go and see who found it, let's go there together!"

A young monk said, "Yes, it was discovered by the little monk. The little monk just went to the river to pick up water and saw the corpse. It was hanging on the branch. It was very scary, Amitabha!"

Fu Guibao, who was standing beside him, said, "Brother, what's the point of asking about this? You'll know if you go over and take a look!"

Li Rizhi glared at him, and there was no problem going over and checking, but what if the person killed by this young monk, what if he was the murderer and was calling for catching the thief? Now ask, maybe you can find a flaw!

However, Fu Guibao had already talked too much, so Li Rizhi stopped asking the young monk. At this time, the scholars also ran over. When they heard that there was a corpse, the brave ones wanted to go over and take a look. The timid ones took the excuse to go back to study. They didn't want to meddle in other people's business, so they went back to their house to hide. Quan Shufang wanted to make a contribution, so they followed Li Rizhi, left the temple together, and walked around the back of the temple.

Behind the temple is the small river. The river water is clear and there are many trees growing on the bank. Some of the big trees have been old and the branches stretch into the water. The corpse that the young monk said was hanging on the branches. From a distance, it looked like a blown Aries.

Li Rizhi strides to the shore and looks carefully at the corpse. He sees that the corpse has been swollen and swollen, and has no recognition. He cannot see his appearance before his birth. It is estimated that it has been at least five days, with his clothes tattered and scars on his arms and thighs. However, because it is swollen, it cannot tell what kind of scars it is. Maybe it is the scar caused by struggle when he falls into the water, or maybe it is indeed as the monks said, the corpse was beaten and killed.

So, Li Rizhi only looked at the shore for a rough look, then turned around and said to the young monk: "Did this corpse just discovered today?"

The young monk nodded repeatedly and said that he had discovered it just now.

Li Rizhi said again: "You should come across the river in the morning, and you haven't seen this body at that time?"

The young monk was stunned for a moment and shook his head and said, "No, the little monk didn't come to pick up the water this morning, but when he came to pick up the water yesterday, he didn't see the body yet, so even if he floated down from the upstream, he could only float here today."

Upstream? Li Rizhi stood up and looked upstream of the river. Isn’t that the direction of Jidouguan? This corpse must have passed Jidouguan first and then drifted to the Dedao Temple.

So has anyone seen this corpse in Jidouguan?

Li Rizhi turned around and asked the monk in the temple, saying, "You are going to find a land security guard. When will he arrive?"

The young monk scratched his bald head and said, "I don't know, it depends on whether the land is at home or not. If you go to work in the fields, it may be slow. If you are at home, then a quarter of an hour will definitely arrive. His home is not too far from here."

Many monks from the temple came out, and they all nodded. The land guarantee should have arrived soon, because the land guarantee is in a village not far away. He is a very honest person and very diligent. He has a few acres of land at home and rents fields to plant in Jidouguan. He is a rare good man.

When Li Rizhi heard this, he thought to himself: "That land loan is planted with Jidou Temple. It must be related to the Taoist nuns in Jidou Temple. It seems that Jidou Temple is very rich, and it actually has land rent. It seems that it is much richer than the Taoist temple."

Li Rizhi turned around and said, "Don't move this corpse without authorization before the government comes, because the government will also investigate based on the situation here. If you move the corpse privately, maybe the people in the government will think that you deliberately destroyed the scene. Then they cannot solve the case, so you will probably suffer some trouble."

The monks looked at each other. If there was any way, they would rather not touch the corpse in their lives!

"While the land guarantee has not come, let's follow the river to see upstream." Li Rizhi said to Fu Guibao and the others.

The four of them ignored the monks and walked upstream together. The river flowed smoothly, but there were many trees by the river, so there were many branches along the shore to the water surface. Li Rizhi couldn't see any special place. He walked along the river. When he passed a small bend of the river, Li Rizhi pointed in front, and the few people shouted.

I saw a white wall standing beside the river channel in front. From the outside, it was not the back wall of Jidouguan. The reason why the river has a small bend is that it is the water that leads into the temple. It is estimated that there must be a small pond in the backyard of Jidouguan, which leads to the living water in this river.

Chen Yingying pointed to the back wall and said, "My home has a villa in Xingyang and a facility to draw water into the garden. Outside the wall, it looks like this, almost exactly the same. This Taoist temple is really rich. Such a project seems simple, but it costs a lot of pilgrims to donate money for indulgence and oil to make the Taoist temple afford such a large project!"

Li Rizhi nodded and said to Cheng Zizai: "Junior brother, come close and see if the sluice gate on the other side of the wall has a fence. Whether the fence is tight or not, will there be such a big gap that can allow the corpse to pass through?"

Cheng Zizai agreed and carefully leaned over to the entrance of the river against the wall. Because it was to lead the river water into the sight, the terrain had to be lowered to divert water. No one came here on the back wall for many years, and the stone foundation was covered with moss and moss. Even if Cheng Zizai was very good at skill, he had to be careful, otherwise it would easily fall into the river.

Chen Yingying approached Li Rizhi and whispered: "Rizhi, do you suspect that the body came out of the Taoist temple? Isn't that equivalent to saying that the Taoist nuns have killed people!"

"Can't Taoist nun kill people?" Li Rizhi turned his head and looked at Chen Yingying, and said, "As we walked here from the Taoist temple, it is very likely that the corpse was drifted out of this Taoist temple. Think about it, the corpse has been soaked in the water for at least five days. This is a densely populated place in Chang'an. A corpse has been floating in the river for five days and has not been found yet. How is this possible?"

Chen Yingying was stunned and nodded, "Yes, it is impossible not to be discovered. It is just hanging on the branches and unable to flow down the river. She has only been soaked for five days. Looking at this section of the river, it seems that only Dedao Temple and Jidou Temple are possible!"

Fu Guibao also nodded repeatedly. There was only a forest before these two temples and courtyards, and there were no farmland villages elsewhere. There were many people, and the bodies were soaked in the water for more than five days. It was impossible for them to be discovered.

At this time, Cheng Zizai had already arrived at the sluice gate. The so-called sluice gate is the opening where the river water enters and exits the courtyard wall. It is equipped with a fence to prevent thieves. However, this kind of fence is basically useless. If there are really thieves who want to steal the beans, it is much more convenient to climb over the wall directly than to drill into the water fence.

Cheng Zizai turned around and gestured at Li Rizhi. He didn't say anything, because if he spoke at this time, Li Rizhi could hear it, and if there was a Taoist nun in the yard, it would be easy to hear it. So he gestured, indicating that there was indeed a big gap in the sluice gate and the fence, which was as wide as two people, and a corpse could definitely float out.

Li Rizhi hurriedly started to gesture to him, asking Cheng Zizai to take a closer look at what was going on inside the fence!

There was almost no one standing there at the sluice fence. Cheng Zizai lay on the stone foundation along the wall with great difficulty, trying to get into the sluice. It didn't matter when he looked at it, but almost scared Cheng Zizai to fall into the water.

I saw that the backyard of Jidou Temple was a large garden, which was different from ordinary Taoist temples. Ordinary Taoist temples also had a back garden, but they were generally opened as vegetable gardens to live in some vegetables for the Taoist priests in the temple. However, the backyard of Jidou Temple was a large garden with ponds, rockery and corridors. They were not only arranged extremely exquisitely, but also luxurious. This was a Taoist temple, which was clearly the back garden of the rich!

If he only looked at such a back garden, Cheng Zizai would not be scared. Instead, he saw a man and a woman in the corridor. These men and women had Taoist nuns and wealthy women. The man was a handsome young man. The men and women were hugging and kissing each other, and even let out a few laughs from time to time!

Cheng Zizai has never been to brothels, but has never been to them, and hasn't heard of them yet. When he saw this scene, he could understand that this place was indeed not an ordinary Taoist temple, but a lustful temple. Taoist nuns are definitely not serious women, and those women who come to worship God and pray for children are probably not good women. They obviously have a different purpose when they come here!

Cheng Zizai carefully left the sluice, returned to the shore where Li Rizhi was standing, and told Li Rizhi what he saw. Li Rizhi frowned. He had long felt that the view of the Dou Dou was abnormal, so it turned out to be.

But Fu Guibao said interestedly: "Is there any good show in there? Then I'll go and have a look!"
Chapter completed!
