2682 Chapter 2681-sigh
Xiao Qiu, be careful. I’ll go over to understand the situation first. Gu Xin turned around and said to Zheng Qiu.....
“Alright,” he said. Zheng Qiu nodded and began to do the autopsy.
Gu Xin saw that she had already started preparing, so she let Lord Xu lead the way. When she reached the door, she took another look at fatty Wang who was being beaten up. She pursed her lips and turned around to continue walking out.
Lord Xu was also unsure of Gu Xin’s temper, so he didn’t say much and brought Gu Xin to a small room.
There were only tables and chairs in the room, and some firewood was piled in the corner.
“Your Highness, this is the woodshed. There were many courtyards in Hongyuan temple, all for the visitors to stay in. Sometimes, the visitors came as a family, and it was inconvenient to share things with the others in the temple. Therefore, there was a separate woodshed in such a courtyard. In fact, there were no beds in the entire courtyard except for the woodshed and the main hall. There were no dead people. Your Highness, I’m really ashamed to have to do this.” Lord Xu explained to Gu Xin.
“It’s fine. I don’t have any special requirements for the environment, so I just need to make things clear.” Gu Xin said.
Dong Xue, who followed along, moved a chair away for Gu Xin, while the other recorder prepared to take down notes.
“Yesterday was the Yamen’s rest day. Lord Wang brought his entire family to Hongyuan temple to eat vegetarian food. In the past few months, this child had been obediently staying by Princess Xinxin and general Lu’s side. Lord Wang was deeply pleased, so he planned to come and pray for blessings. I remember that the family of five set off at seven in the morning yesterday. There were a total of two carriages, two Coachmen, a manservant, a servant, three servant girls, two old women, and a nanny. A total of 15 people.” Lord Xu directly began to talk about the last time he had seen Lord Wang.
“Under normal circumstances, it would take an entire family about an hour and a half to travel from the prefecture to Hongyuan temple.” Lord Xu said.
“Lord Xu is right. Yesterday, when Lord Wang and his group arrived at the temple, it was already late 9 am. It was this poor monk who received them.” The host said from the side.
“And then?” Gu Xin asked.
“Replying to Princess, usually when old Madam Wang brings Madam Wang, young lady Wang and young master to the temple, they would almost always stay in this courtyard. Therefore, this poor monk brought them here. After all the arrangements were made, this poor monk made an appointment with Lord Wang to play chess in the afternoon and left. The temple’s three meals are all eaten at the large canteen. The devotees can also send someone to the large canteen to get their food. This penniless monk asked today and Lord Wang and the others had sent someone to get their lunch yesterday at noon. Later, Lord Wang came to this poor monk’s meditation room to play chess with him. During this time, Lord Wang told me about young master Wang’s life in the past few months. He was in a good mood and also talked about his gratitude to Lord Gu, Princess Xinxin, and general Lu. Lord Wang said that even if he was stuck at the Prefectural magistrate of Tongzhou for the rest of his life, he still hoped that young master Wang would have a better future.” At this point, the abbot put his palms together and said with a face full of compassion, ” Amitabha!
“AI!” Lord Xu sighed.
Why did this old Wang dare to say anything in the temple?
See, it’s effective, right?
The Bodhisattva has given your son a good future, so you’ll really stop at the Prefectural magistrate of Tongzhou.
Lord Xu and Lord Wang had been partners for almost six years. The two had a superior-subordinate relationship, but more than that, they were old friends who appreciated each other.
