Chapter 188: Arrest
Fu Guibao shouted: "You don't have any helpers, right? If there is no more, it means that there is only Ben Xiaosheng in this view, so I will be rude to you!"
As he said that, he swung the wooden stick. He didn't say anything about how he was not polite to the female Taoist priests, but judging from the way he swung the rod, he should be trying to beat the female Taoist priests!
After entering a Taoist temple full of beauties, he actually wanted to beat the beauties instead of doing something else. This behavior was really weird. However, Fu Guibao's move of swinging the stick was quite scary. All the female Taoist priests were frightened by him. Amid the screams, some female Taoist priests wanted to run away!
Fu Guibao felt very disappointed when he saw their appearance. These female Taoist priests were okay to bluff, but they couldn't act. They were obviously not pretending to be panic, but they didn't find the murderer in this Taoist temple. This really disappointed. At least he was so busy that he almost took off his pants after a long time.
After taking out the whistle, Fu Guibao started blew up, and there was no need for Li Rizhi and the others to ambush outside. The ambush was in vain. It would be better to come in and catch people. I arrested all these female Taoist priests. It seems that they are all very easy to scare and should be able to tell the truth.
Outside Jidou Temple, Li Rizhi and Peng Ji were already anxious. It took Fu Guibao so long to get into the temple. After being inside for so long, what happened? Why didn’t he blew the whistle?
Cheng Zizai suddenly asked, "The female Taoist priests in Jidou Temple are all very beautiful. After Xiaojie enters, will he be unable to control himself? He has a great conversation with those female Taoist priests... that? I forgot that he still has a mission!"
Li Ri knew: "It's so easy to have a good time to talk to each other. Last time the female Taoist priests didn't like him. Have you forgotten when we went in last time? Those female Taoist priests were much more interested in you than him. Even Yingying was more popular than him!"
Cheng Zizai was right to think about it and sighed: "It's a pity that I'm not very smart, otherwise I might be able to do things faster if I go in!"
Li Rizhi said, "If you go, you may have a good conversation, but it may not be very fast. After all, even if strangers have any ideas in their hearts, they have to test each other!"
As he was talking, a whistle suddenly sounded from Jidou Temple, with a sharp sound, and even outside the temple, he could hear it clearly!
Peng Ji was overjoyed and came out of his hiding place and said to the yamen runners: "Everyone goes in and catch the murderer. The case is solved quickly. I feel comfortable. After returning to the yamen, I will be rewarded with great rewards!"
The yamen runners were overjoyed. They never thought that the case would be solved so quickly. Everyone waved their knives and rushed into Jidouguan. There was no one in the front yard, and they went straight to the Second Courtyard. There was no one in the second courtyard, and they rushed into the back yard. When the yamen runners rushed into the yard, the female Taoist priests had already discovered them. In a scream, the female Taoist priests ran away in scattering!
The yamen runners immediately began to arrest the female Taoist priests, and they were very easy to catch. The female Taoist priests were still easy to catch, and there were not many people, only a dozen. In just a moment, they caught all the female Taoist priests, and no one escaped!
After all the people were caught, Peng Ji took steps and entered the backyard accompanied by Li Rizhi. Peng Ji glanced at the female Taoist priests in the yard, snorted, and did not speak. He went straight up the stairs and arrived at the second floor.
Fu Guibao had tied Zhenning up and placed it on the ground. He didn't feel embarrassed by this spectator. Of course, it would be impossible to be polite to her.
Peng Ji went upstairs, looked at the carpet and furnishings in the big room, and then said, "Hu Feng is so heavy, where is the murderer hiding?"
Fu Guibao harshed his head and said, "If you say that the county magistrate, the murderer is not in the temple. My nephew searched it just now. There were men's clothing items in the middle, but no one was there. Before he could ask the temple owner, she seemed to be Zhenning, and she was the senior sister of these female Taoist priests!"
Peng Ji was slightly stunned and sighed in his heart. It seemed that the case could not be solved today. He said, "You asked for a long time and then you found out that a murderer was not in the temple, and what is the name of the temple owner?"
Fu Guibao laughed dryly and said, "There is not enough time!"
Peng Ji nodded and said, "This is already good. In such a short time, you have done these two things and you are still doing things very quickly."
After pausing, he said again: "You didn't do anything else, you're doing things very quickly anyway!"
Fu Guibao uttered, but he still pretended not to understand what this sentence meant. He shook his head and said, "It was not too late, the yamen runners brothers came in too fast!"
Peng Ji nodded and looked at Zhenning who was lying on the ground. He sat on the carpet and asked, "Your name is Zhenning? Have you ever seen a man named Linghu Changxiu? He should live in your view."
Linghu Changxiu was the name of the person Rong Liu. Li Rizhi told Peng Ji about this name, but Bai Peng Ji could not think of any of them. There was a high-ranking official in the court with the surname Linghu, or even a rich businessman, and there was no surname of this. Maybe he was ignorant, but he really couldn't think of it if he wanted to think out of thin air.
When Zhenning heard the name Linghu Changxiu, she immediately raised her head, her eyes full of surprise, with an expression of "Since you know Linghu Changxiu, you dare to bring someone to catch me", as if Linghu Changxiu was some amazing big shot!
Peng Ji looked at this look and immediately became furious and shouted: "I ask you, do you recognize Linghu Changxiu?"
Zhenning lowered her head and replied: "I don't recognize you, I don't know who Linghu Changxiu you are talking about!"
Zhenning now understands that since the government has entered the temple with such a big fanfare to arrest people and asked Linghu Changxiu's name in person, it means that this is a rebellion. The county magistrate is not afraid of Linghu Changxiu's brother at all, and even wants to use this matter to attack Linghu Changxiu's brother so as to achieve the ulterior motive!
Therefore, Zhenning said that she would not recognize Linghu Changxiu, so as not to be used by this county magistrate. However, judging from the county magistrate's appearance, she would not believe her words!
Of course Peng Ji didn't believe it, and he was very sure that he would definitely ask where Linghu Changxiu was. It should be very easy for these female Taoist priests to get confessions when they were sentenced to criminal trials, and they didn't seem difficult to deal with.
Peng Ji stood up and said to Fu Guibao: "Where is that inner room? Take me to see it!"
Fu Guibao immediately led the way and walked across the entire big room before entering the inner room. The furnishings in the inner room were simple. The window of the room was actually a small door. When you opened the small door, you could see the terrace corridor and see the entire back garden.
Peng Ji was not in the mood to enjoy the scenery in the garden. He flipped through the room, and Li Rizhi followed him in and accompanied him to flip through it. He found a lot of good things.
It is indeed a good thing, because Li Rizhi found at least seven or eight royal things, which cannot be seen by the people, and even the powerful family will not use them. It should be royal goods flowing out of the palace!
Li Rizhi picked up a Jiulong bowl, admired it, put it down carefully, and said to Peng Ji: "Uncle Peng, what we thought about before were the powerful and wealthy businessmen in the capital, but my nephew thought that he might have thought the wrong direction. There was no one with the surname Linghu between them. So what eunuch in the palace has the surname Linghu, or which female official, whose surname is Linghu, at least he has a relative with the surname Linghu?"
There are several supplies from the palace in such a small room. Linghu Changxiu's backer, or his background, is very likely to be related to the palace. This can only be considered in the palace. There are officials in the palace, just like the court, and not only eunuchs, but also female officials, and they all have relatives.
When Li Rizhi reminded him, Peng Ji's face changed instantly. He opened his mouth wide and was stunned for a moment before saying, "There is a great general next to Empress Wu, but I don't know what his name is. I usually call him the great general of Linghu!"
Li Ri knew: "Linghu Grand Manager, then is this Supervisor a great eunuch? He should be very powerful and has already achieved the position of Supervisor."
He didn't know much about the matter in the palace. He just heard from Huayin County Magistrate Chu Qiangzhi that a big eunu named Tong Guinu. He heard that Tong Guinu was already very powerful, but he didn't seem to be the chief manager. Then Linghu's chief manager should be considered the top eunuch in the palace!
Peng Ji's expression became a little sad, and he said, "Of course he is the top, and because he is a very favored eunuch by Queen Wu. Now the matter in the palace is decided by Queen Wu alone. Even if it is a matter in the court, Queen Wu will still say the same thing. Do you think that the head of Linghu is top-notch or not!"
Peng Ji had never guessed the case of Linghu Chief Executive. Just imagine, in the case they were going to solve, the murderer was a lustful bastard, and he also killed the woman's husband because of seducing a good woman. The murderer committed such a case related to the relationship between men and women. How could Peng Ji think about a big eunuch?
But now that I have seen so many palace supplies, it seems that Linghu Changxiu is really related to the Linghu Chief Manager!
Peng Ji said to himself: "I heard that the Linghu General Manager came to the palace since he was a child. He grew up in the palace. He was not very old, but he was very skillful and capable of doing things. He was deeply loved by Queen Wu, so he was extremely powerful. He was a person who would never dare to offend!"
Yu Qi said that Peng Ji was afraid of the Grand Chief of Linghu, so he was afraid of Empress Wu. Empress Wu is not a person who protects his shortcomings, but he is just a small county magistrate. Even if the Grand Chief of Linghu broke the law, he could not enter the palace to arrest him. That was unrealistic. He could not enter the palace without summoning, let alone arresting the Grand Chief of the Palace.
Li Rizhi saw Peng Ji's concern and hurriedly said, "Often general manager Linghu should be very busy. He has to serve Empress Wu, so he should have very little time to leave the palace, so it is impossible to come outside the city, and it is even more impossible to come to Jidou Temple. If you don't know about it, it is almost impossible!"
Peng Jihu suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. He had just thought it was a bit wrong. He imagined the murderer as the chief manager of Linghu. He was very excited for a moment. How could a eunuch come to Jidouguan to spend money on the world? This is impossible. He was in a trance, in a trance!
Li Rizhi looked out at Zhenning, approached Peng Ji, and whispered: "According to my nephew's speculation, the murderer who lives here is most likely a relative of the General Manager Linghu, and he is a very good relationship. Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to give him so many palace supplies. Even if the General Manager Linghu has a high position and is very powerful, he still has to take risks by getting things out in the palace!"
Peng Ji said, for him, as long as he was not the head of General Linghu himself, it would be fine even if he was a relative, so he didn't have to worry about this.
Peng Ji said: "It is still necessary to interrogate these female Taoist priests in time, but it is not difficult. Judging from their appearance, they don't seem to be able to stand the trial!"
Li Rizhi smiled slightly and said, "Peng Shibo, it doesn't take so much effort. Just use a little trick to make them speak obediently. Tonight, lock them up first and separate them, so that they can suspicion for one night, and things will be easy to solve tomorrow!"
Peng Ji said oh and nodded: "From you, I am really tired today. Let's rest in this Jidou Temple!"
