Chapter 3: Bodhi has no tree, and the mirror is not love 2

At night, Wei Tanyi raised the parrot shelf to his room in the backyard.

The parrot, which has been tossing around all afternoon, has fallen asleep lazily, and can't see the irritability of the day.

Thinking of the scenery in the store in the afternoon, I couldn't help laughing. Of course, he knew that the guy who had been teased many times sent a talking thing that must not be kind, and he was fully prepared to sneer, but who would have thought that the parrot was really unreasonable.

"Speak! You beast." Han Ruqi poked and didn't see the parrot swearing. Instead, his finger was bitten several times, and he blurted out in anger.

The parrot flapped its wings and flew, shouting, "You beast! You son of a bitch!"

Wei Tanyi couldn't help laughing. Han Ru, who was holding an empty shelf beside her, swept her face. She wanted to catch the parrot back with both hands, and her legs and feet were never as good as her wings. One person and one bird fluttered around in the store, running away with a series of rude words and chasing a sweat. The unrelated people were happy to watch the play. I even got melon seeds.

After the parrot broke a tea bowl, broke a paperweight and kicked off a folding fan, Han Ruxu finally couldn't stand it and pulled out the knife and cut it wildly. If it hadn't been for Wei Tanyi for holding him quickly, it was estimated that even the remaining few antiques could be reimbursed together.

"Come on, come here!" With one hand, Han Ruqi, who was panting like a bull, Wei Tanyi whistled and waved his hand, and the parrot fell obediently on his arm.

Han Ruxu was so angry that his nose was crooked, and the tip of the knife was pointed at the parrot: "You beast!"

"Lord Han's words are not right. Since it was given to Wei, doesn't it mean that it is humane when he listens to me? What's the name of eating inside and outside?" Wei Tanyi grabbed a handful of millet from the trough and fed it to the parrot.

Han Ruxu had nothing to say with bulging eyes and cheeks.

"Who is their master? They will make themselves eat and drink enough. Even animals have pole scales in their hearts. Unfortunately, people often don't understand this truth. They eat in the bowl and think about the pot. There are many people who cross the river, dismantle the bridge, and kill donkeys, and even animals."

At first glance, I thought it was satirizing myself, but when I thought about it carefully, it made no sense. Although he was flat in those years, it was not caused by clinging to others. Now, although it is nominally assigned by Dali Temple, in fact, it is directly subordinate to the current emperor, and there is no need to flatter anyone.

When Wei Tanyi saw that he didn't say anything, she turned around and put the parrot on the back of the chair, as if talking to himself and hinting, "Maybe it's because of this that the fence can always attract people?"

To this extent, Han Ruxu finally understood what he meant, and his eyes suddenly lit up: "I understand, thank you very much!"

"Wait a minute, Lord Han, I have one more question and a reminder."

"You said."

"You don't seem to be good at solving cases. Why are you sent to Dali Temple?"

Han Ruxu didn't know how to answer for a moment, but Wei Tanyi seemed to suddenly realize and raised the corners of his mouth: "The emperor didn't do this with the intention of letting Lord Han grow more brains, did he?"

"Who do you think has no brain!" Han Ruqi was furious. The parrot, who had just stopped on the chair, began to rap again: "No brain! No brain!"

Wei Tanyi spread his hands and said, "As you heard, it was said by the little beast you sent."

Only then did Han Ruxu realize what it means to lift a stone and hit his own foot, and his face turned black.

"I forgot a reminder," Wei Tanyi suddenly pointed to a pile of fragments on the ground. "The three items add up to at least 2,000 taels of silver. For the sake of the fact that Lord Han sent such a cute beast, I will give you a hundred taels less, so Lord Han, don't forget that you owe me 2,8 hundred. Two silver, the next time you get a reward, you'd better pay off the debt first and then consider subsidizing the family.

***

Dali Temple quickly grasped the details of the day when Mr. Chen went to the water, asked all the people in the house, and finally put the doubts on Mr. Chen.

"Mr. Chen has confessed. It was he who excused to go out on the day of Guanyin Festival, and then knocked out his wife and moved her into the Buddhist hall and burned to death." Ming Bujing handed the confession to Han Ruxu.

Han Ruxu looked at it several times and shook his head: "Your Excellency, I think there is something else hidden in this case."

Ming Bujing twisted his beard and said with a smile, "Tell me about it."

"I remember that the autopsy did not mention that Mrs. Chen had traces of being knocked unconscious before. Isn't Mr. Chen lying? In addition, what motive does he have to kill his esteemed wife?

"Good question," Ming Bujing got up and left the bookcase. "Chen Yuanwai would have tried to rank 20 in those years. He should not have stayed in the court. It was only because he was too lucky that he was bumping into the daughter of the provincial book under the door at that time, threw hydrangea and climbed to Gao Zhi. He took advantage of his father-in-law's wind to stay in the court."

Han Ruxu immediately asked, "So, it's because Mrs. Chen's family has fallen, and Mr. Chen wants to find a new lover, so he is a killer?"

"Wrong!"

"Eh?" Is that the right thing to think?

Ming Bujing walked a few steps in the room with a smile: "The burning to death in the fire is no longer the daughter of the Chinese book in those years. Daji was destroyed by Bei Xiao in those years, and most of the officials in the court were captured. At that time, Mrs. Chen had been abandoned by her husband and died in the chaos. Today's Mrs. Chen is the woman that Chen Yuanwai really loved in those years, and she is also the woman who sponsored him to go to Beijing to take the exam.

Han Ruxu, who didn't expect such a thing at all, nodded when he was taught: "It's not uncommon for a sponsoring lover to go to the exam. It's rare to be able to enter the room in the end. Although Mr. Chen is attached to the powerful, he is also an affectionate and righteous person."

"Wrong again!"

"Ah?"

Han Ruqi blinked his eyes and didn't understand what was wrong with him. Ming Bujing was amused by his appearance and couldn't bear to tease him anymore. Then he explained, "It's normal that you don't know. The former Mrs. Chen was married into the house by Mr. Chen because her father was a high-ranking official, and then she was abandoned on the way to escape because she was infertile. The latter Mrs. Chen could not become the main room because she had no power or power, but she gave birth to the only son outside Chen, so she was later corrected.

"It's just that it's not a long-term plan for a mother to rely on her son to be expensive. As she gets older, Mrs. Chen, the second person, can't keep her husband's heart, so she is dedicated to the Buddha and never asks about her husband and other women's affairs again."

Han Ruqi said curiously, "Is this a confession from Mr. Chen?"

Ming Bujing shook his head: "This is the confession of Mrs. Chen's maidservant Hong Yin."

"Since Mrs. Chen no longer cares about it, why does Mrs. Chen have to kill her all? I always feel that Mrs. Chen's temperament should be quite low and obedient, as the maidservant said. Even if she wants her to give up the position of wife, what's more, it's up to Mr. Chen to divorce or not. As a woman, Mrs. Chen seems to be There is no reason why he must be killed.

Han Ruxu just finished his confusion, and Ming Bujing stroked his hands and cheered: "Well said, Lord Han is more and more impressed by Ming."

Does this mean that I used to be much worse than this? Han Ruqi didn't dare to ask, and she couldn't help thinking of the scene of Wei Tanyi and the parrot singing.

"I also thought of the question you said when we discussed it, but no matter how to induce confession, Chen Yuanwai also insisted on claiming that his wife was killed by himself," Ming Bujing looked embarrassed. "Although everyone unanimously believes that Chen Yuanwai is covering up the real murderer, he suffers from no evidence and can't force him to confess."

"Is there any suspect?"

"Yes. It's the maid named Hongyin."

***

"Welcome." Welcome! Happy, welcome!" What a vision." Vision!" No, it's 'rewor-sighted'." Have vision!" ...Forget it, it's not bad."

As soon as he stepped into the gate of Yuezhai, he saw the idle shopkeeper teaching the parrot to speak. Han Ruxu sneered and said, "If you have a master, you will have a bird. Even if you teach to speak, you can only say some flattery."

Wei Tanyi lazily raised his head to recognize the fact that he had come, and then retorted: "That's so good. I forgot to add water to it this morning. The little guy shook out all the curses. It's really like a bird."

It took a lot of effort to suppress the anger that burned to the throat.

"But it's better to be bad in the mouth than to slander secretly on the surface. Don't you think so, Lord Han?"

"It's your head!"

When Han Ruxu was angry, the parrot was not happy first. He flapped his wings and began to shout, "Go to hell!" Go to hell!"

"Know the guardian, double the dinner." Wei Tanyi laughed so hard that he was in need of a beat. Although the parrot didn't understand, it also shouted "double, double". Han Ru, who was standing at the door, regretted that his intestines were green - what was not good to send? He just got a talking beast. If he had a plan with the beast, what would he become?

"Lord Han, don't just stand and talk. Be familiar with each other. Sit by yourself."

Although he was not popular, in order to find out more information - which is the purpose of this trip - Han Ruxu still sat on one side of the chair as usual.

"Why did Lord Han come to the door today?"

Wei Tanyi rolled the newly bought Qingming tea and deliberately took out both cups to prove that he was really ready to fry two-person tea.

"In the fire case that happened in Chen Yuan's family a few days ago, Lord Ming suspected that it was Chen Yuanwai who had an affair with his maidservant and joined hands to kill his wife so that the maidservant would enter the room." Han Ruxu put down his unhappiness and concisely said the current situation. "But now that Mr. Chen is stubborn and refuses to confess, Lord Ming feels a headache. . "

"Headache, Headache!" The parrot began to rap again.

Wei Tanyi stopped his movements in his hand, as if thinking about something.

Han Ruqi asked tentatively, "Don't you still want to make conditions?" Ah, that's it. Lord Han really understands my heart." Wei Tanyi immediately replied with a smile.

"But I'm not a profiteer, and I won't open my mouth." Hearing this, Han Ruxu really wants to refute. If you are not a profiteer, who is a profiteer? "If the case is solved, that string of bodhi wood rosary..." "You can't think about it!"

Wei Tanyi reached out innocently: "Since there is nothing to talk about, Lord Han, please come back."

***

Han Ruxu, who touched a gray nose, rushed back to Dali Temple angrily. Who would have heard the voice that made him loud before he entered the door?

"Where is it? The adults are flattered. The grass people are just doing their best. The adults work for the world. In contrast, what the grass people do is really not worth mentioning." It was Wei Tanyi who walked out of the study side by side with Ming Bujing. A moment ago, he was still making tea in the store. How could he rush to Dali Temple faster than himself in the blink of an eye? Han Ruxu was puzzled about this.

Ming Bujing looked up and caught a glimpse of him, and waved his hand with a smile: "Lord Han came just in time. Mr. Wei reported important clues to me, and you also contributed a great contribution."

Han Ruqi was stunned and said puzzledly, "What's the credit of Han?"

"Lord Han was very worried about the fire case of Mr. Chen's family. He repeatedly came to ask for advice. The people were ashamed and didn't know how much help, so he took the liberty to visit. It was really rude." Wei Tanyi spoke smoothly. He clearly praised Han Ruxu for his work. He secretly complained that he was annoying to disturb him at home. By the way, he was so modest that people could not pick out loopholes - he just wanted to punch him in the face.

After a worthless compliment and humility, Han Ruxu roughly understood that what Wei Tanyi provided was nothing more than the troubles that Chen Fu unconsciously revealed in his store before his life, that is, his husband and his maidservant did not pay attention to themselves.

"Mrs. Chen is dedicated to Buddha. How can she have leisure to go to Yongningfang?" Han Ruxu had to look at this guy who seemed to have eaten all over the capital with suspicion.

"There are also some exquisite jade Guanyin in the shop. Why can't Mrs. Chen come to me?"

Wei Tanyi said without flaws, but Han Ruxu still felt that he was talking nonsense.

With Wei Tanyi as a witness, Chen Yuanwai had to confess his adultery with his maidservant Hongyin, but the two denied the murder of Mrs. Chen. Hongyin even tried to crash into the case table to kill him, and the case was once again helplessly stuck.
