The internal government allocated funds, the Ministry of Industry supervised the construction, and the site was selected near the Confucius Temple. From the establishment of the project last year to the groundbreaking this spring, the Tianshifu has been criticized continuously.
However, at that time Sun Shaozong was still fighting the rebellion in Huguang, and by the time he triumphed and returned to the dynasty, the heat had already passed, so it was the first time he heard about it.
Speaking of...
Sun Shaozong frowned and said, "How does a headless corpse appear in the shape of '天'?"
Even if he puts himself in, it's just a 'no' at most.
"This… "
Chen Jingde was stunned when he heard the words, and after a while, he said embarrassingly: "I have heard from others, but I haven't seen it with my own eyes."
got~
He probably hadn't thought of this at all before asking the question himself.
"okay."
Sun Shaozong flicked his sleeves speechlessly: "You go back to the yamen and tell Sir Wei, that this official will go directly to the Tianshi Mansion to investigate the case. If he has anything else to explain, you can tell it on your behalf!"
Although the imperial dispatch could not refuse, it did not mean that Sun Shaozong had to behave in a proper manner and go to Wei Yi to take orders.
Going directly to the scene of the crime can show his relatively independent status; secondly, even if Wei Yi has any dissatisfaction, he can take the case as serious and not dare to delay for a while.
After listening to Sun Shaozong's instructions, Chen Jingde couldn't help but look bitter, but now he has already held on to Sun Shaozong's thigh, even if he knew that he would not be able to win in front of Wei Yi, he could only bite the bullet and lead the way.
So the two parted ways.
Speechless all the way.
The Tianshi Mansion said it was built near the Confucius Temple, but it was actually two or three roads away from Chengxian Street.
The surrounding wall was a little shorter than that of the Confucius Temple, but the gate was doubly grand. With the four yamen guards guarding the steps with their hands on their waists at this time, they looked much more majestic and solemn than the Dali Temple.
"grown ups!"
Seeing Sun Shaozong getting off the carriage, the four yamen servants came down from the steps and bowed their hands - obviously, this place has already been temporarily taken over by Dali Temple.
Back in the days of Shuntian Mansion, the yamen below used to call the officials 'Master', and only those with a certain position and name were qualified to honor 'Sir'.
But there seems to be no such rules in Dali Temple. Maybe this is the difference between the central government and the local government.
Sun Shaozong only nodded and asked, "Who is in charge of the investigation now?"
The one in the lead hurriedly replied, "It's Huang Zhaitou, as well as several Taoist priests from Longhu Mountain."
Hearing that the Taoist priests of Longhu Mountain were also investigating the scene inside, Sun Shaozong couldn't help frowning, but he didn't mean to criticize Huang Bin and others.
Now the Taoist priests of Longhu Mountain are holy, and this is their home again. A small head catcher without an official or a job, how dare to say more than the first half of the sentence
Thinking about it in his heart, Sun Shaozong kept going for a moment. He walked through the door and saw a wide square facing the door.
In the center of the square, there was a double-layered altar. The railings on the first floor were engraved with twenty-eight constellations, while the second floor had no railings, but there were statues of the Four Holy Beasts erected in the corners.
Seeing that in the middle of the dharma platform, several yamen servants were surrounding a large incense burner to discuss their opinions, so Sun Shaozong also went up the stairs and came closer to watch.
"grown ups?"
"The little one has seen the adult!"
Ignoring the chaos of the congregation, Sun Shaozong circled the incense burner for half a circle. On the back of the incense burner, he saw a dripping blood line leading directly to the main hall, just splitting the Taiji map made of black and white slate on the ground into two halves.
Sun Shaozong took advantage of the situation to look at the main hall, then turned his eyes back, and looked inside the incense burner.
A stench filled the nose immediately, but at the bottom of the incense burner that had not been filled with incense ashes, a pool of dark red blood plasma was accumulating.
Sun Shaozong didn't take it seriously, and poked his head in again, carefully scrutinized the inner edge of the incense burner, and twisted two withered hairs.
Holding the hair in the palm of his hand, Sun Shaozong stroked the top edge of the incense burner with his fingers again, and after fumbling back and forth for half a circle, he found another slashing mark.
This chopping mark is deeper on the outside and shallower on the inside, forming an included angle of about ten degrees.
It seems that this should be the first crime scene. The murderer pressed the victim to the edge of the incense burner, chopped off the head with a knife, and deliberately collected the blood spurted by the victim.
Sun Shaozong took a half step back, measured the height of the incense burner with his eyes, and immediately took a single sword from the yamen's hand, and slashed in several positions one after another.
After a long while, Sun Shaozong stopped, threw the knife back, and lowered his head to look at the ground again, but he soon gave up - the footsteps on the ground were too messy, and many of them just stepped on it.
ah~
These yamen have not yet been trained by themselves, and their awareness of protecting the scene is too poor!
Sun Shaozong was very helpless. Originally, he wanted to use the footprints to further confirm the height of the murderer and whether he committed the crime alone or in a gang.
He sighed inwardly, and looked at the curious yamen who were laughing beside him. He pointed to the censer and said, "There are traces of being repeatedly stirred in it. You should sift it to see if there is any evidence in it. ."
After speaking, no matter what their reaction was, they followed the blood line and walked down the platform step by step.
"grown ups!"
At this time, Huang Bin had already rushed over to ask questions, stepped forward and bowed his hands, and then leaned over to try to introduce the three Taoist priests behind him.
However, Sun Shaozong waved his hand without squinting, telling him not to open his mouth first, and then concentrate on observing the gradually thinning blood line.
This trace...
Looking a little familiar.
Seeing the entrance of the main hall, the blood on the ground became messy. Sun Shaozong looked at it carefully for a while, then suddenly looked up and saw a headless corpse, nailed naked under the eaves.
It turned out to be such a 'day' word!
The moment he saw the corpse, Sun Shaozong suddenly realized that the corpse was nailed into a large font [with a neck left], and where the severed head was, a crossroad was smeared with blood plasma, which looked exactly one. The word 'day'.
Sun Shaozong looked at it for a long while, then couldn't help shaking his head and sighed, "This 'celestial corpse' is very suitable for the occasion."
"What did you say?!"
The voice fell, and a loud shout was heard behind him.
Sun Shaozong looked back and saw a young Taoist who was furious and was being pulled desperately by two elders.
Sun Shaozong's eyes narrowed, and he scolded knowingly: "Who are you, how dare you interfere with this officer's investigation here?"
Next to him, Huang Bin hurriedly said, "Sir, these are..."
"We are from Tianshifu!"
The young Taoist shouted first, "Let me ask you, what did you just say..."
Before he could finish his words, Sun Shaozong suddenly stepped forward, grabbed his collar and picked him up, raised his hand like a fly, and threw him out Zhang Xuyuan.
The young Taoist seemed to have practiced before. She tried to twist her body in mid-air and managed to land on both feet. Unfortunately, after she landed, she still couldn't stand firm, and she stumbled and fell.
Being so humiliated so suddenly, the young Taoist was stunned in disbelief at first, and then his face flushed red. A carp jumped up and pulled out his long sword with yellow spikes from his shoulders. He was about to fight Sun Shaozong to the death.
Cangga~
Who would have thought that just after a few steps forward, a person suddenly jumped out from the slanting down, and Hengdao shouted: "Who dares to be powerless against my lord!"
The young Taoist stopped and looked intently, but it was actually the little guy who had just been servile to him!
Just because of this delay, two middle-aged Taoist priests, one on the left and one on the right, hugged his arms desperately.
This shouted: "Master Shaotian, calm down!"
The one shouted: "Master Sun, forgive me, my Shaotian Master has no intention of offending!"
But it turned out that this Huangkou mattress was the son of a contemporary Celestial Master, no wonder Huang Bin just now looked sincere and frightened.
However, Huang Bin is the person he values, and he can put his position right at the critical moment and understand who is his backer.
Sun Shaozong patted her on the shoulder with satisfaction, and indifferently ordered: "This officer has been ordered to investigate the case. If anyone dares to obstruct again, he will be severely punished!"
At this moment, Huang Bin raised his eyebrows and raised his eyes, and there was no hint of flattery. After listening to Sun Shaozong's instructions, he immediately greeted the nearby yamen and surrounded them, and confronted the three Taoist priests eagerly.
The two older Taoist priests became more and more embarrassed when they saw this, while the young Shaotian Master gritted his teeth with hatred, but after all, he still didn't dare to say anything rude.
But Sun Shaozong just thought they didn't exist, he moved the ladder on his own, and climbed up to take a closer look at the condition of the corpse.
