Dressed as the villain's stepmother

"Female donor, Jie Chi is a monk. I hope you won't drag him into small talk. This is a royal temple. If others see it, they will definitely regard the monks in my royal temple as ordinary people. There are many eminent monks in the royal temple. The female donor should not use this method to ruin the reputation accumulated by all the eminent monks through years of practice."

Zhike did not leave, but stood there, telling Jiang Lianzhu a lesson.

At first, Jiang Lianzhu listened to Zhike's words, but she did not refute. However, as Zhike talked, Jiang Lianzhu found Zhike's words more and more ridiculous.

"Your Buddhist sect emphasizes that all four elements are empty, and your reputation is just a name for yourself. If the eminent monks in the royal temple really care about this, then are their six senses really pure?"

Jiang Lianzhu retorted.

Zhike looked at Jiang Lianzhu in front of him and frowned. After a while, he did not answer Jiang Lianzhu's question. Instead, he issued an order to expel the guest.

"Female benefactor, this is the Mahavira Hall. The monks in the temple have to do their homework here. The benefactor is a female. It will be detrimental to her reputation to stay here. It's better to go back to the backyard early."

If you can't say it, drive people away.

Jiang Lianzhu felt that the Zhike in front of her was really speechless!

Seeing that the other party was staring at her, she no longer stayed here. Anyway, Jiang Lianzhu already knew that if she wanted to find out who had visited the royal temple, Zhike in front of her would be a good breakthrough.

Jie Chi said that the presiding master was ill and all matters in the temple would be left to Zhike.

On the surface, Jiang Lianzhu returned to the backyard as Zhike asked.

After Zhike turned around and left, she quietly followed Zhike and found out all about his residence.

After finding the place, Jiang Lianzhu did not take action immediately.

The sky is clear now, if she takes action at this time, once she is discovered, all the efforts she has made these days will be in vain.

If it doesn’t work during the day, then do it at night.

The monks in the royal monastery would have a fixed time for evening classes, and Jiang Lianzhu planned to take action during the evening classes.

That was the time of day when the monks in the royal monastery were most relaxed.

After thinking about everything clearly, Jiang Lianzhu quietly slipped back into her yard. Unexpectedly, as soon as she opened the door, Liu Qingqing inside the house was startled.

"The shopkeeper!"

After Liu Qingqing saw clearly that the person coming was Jiang Lianzhu, her heart returned to her stomach.

"It's me, why are you so surprised?"

Jiang Lianzhu picked up the tea on the table, took a sip, and said in confusion.

"Can you not be surprised? Shopkeeper, we are deep in the tiger's den now and can't relax for a moment. You just came in and I thought I had revealed my secrets when I inquired about the news today. The Queen Mother and Xiao Xiyan sent people to block me in the yard. !”

Liu Qingqing replied angrily.

Hearing this, Jiang Lianzhu's eyes lit up. She closed the door, grabbed Liu Qingqing's wrist, and asked urgently.

"So, you have clues about what I asked you to investigate before?"

"Well, I have already found out the specific time of death of the maid who was suddenly beaten to death by Xiao Xiyan from the maid next to Xiao Xiyan. This is the note they gave me."

Liu Qingqing handed the note given to her by the maid to Jiang Lianzhu.

Jiang Lianzhu glanced at the time on the note, removed the smile on her face, and asked seriously.

"Is this time accurate? Liu Qingqing, I want to use this as evidence for future confrontations in court, so the more accurate the time, the better!"

"Shopkeeper, this note was given to me by the maid next to Xiao Xiyan. She was friendly with the maid who was beaten to death. On the day of the accident, she was supposed to keep vigil for Xiao Xiyan. She was not feeling well, so she let The companion she made took her place for one night."

"After the incident happened, she blamed herself very much and often shed tears. Therefore, the time she gave is true and accurate."

Liu Qingqing quickly explained.

"I know that the shopkeeper wants to avenge Mr. Liao, so he will definitely find the person closest to the truth within his ability."

"It's just that the maid was ill at the time. Although she saw her friend die tragically with her own eyes, she didn't know what the maid who was killed at that time saw."

There was a hint of regret in Liu Qingqing's words.

"Thank you. You have helped me a lot. If you hadn't come along, I definitely wouldn't have been able to investigate so much."

Jiang Lianzhu poured a cup of tea and handed it to Liu Qingqing's hand.

"However, you have to do another favor for me tonight. I met a suspicious person today and I want to go check it out tonight. You pretend to be me and copy scriptures in this room."

"Okay, leave it to me, no problem!"

Just pretend to be Jiang Lianzhu and stay in the house. This is much easier than trying to get information.

That night.

After making all preparations, Jiang Lianzhu put on her night clothes and followed the route she followed Zhike during the day. As she rushed to Zhike's room, she smelled the smell of meat.

This is very unusual!

The place they are currently in is a royal temple, and people who come to the temple also need to abstain from eating meat and fish together with the monks in the temple.

Even the food on display in the Queen Mother's house contained no meat or fish. For a moment, Jiang Lianzhu felt that she might have had an illusion.

"This place is right on Zhike's way back to his room. How could he not notice someone eating meat secretly?"

Jiang Lianzhu was puzzled.

Little Master Jie Chi once told her that all matters in this temple are now under the management of Zhike. There are many places where the taste of roasted meat is questionable!

She was just saying something to Jie Chi, but Zhike interrupted them rudely and forcefully.

Now, in the royal temple he manages, some people eat meat without caring about it. Jiang Lianzhu decided not to go to Zhike's room to look for the visitor list for the time being. She wanted to stay here to see who dared to eat meat secretly in the royal temple. who!

Hidden, Jiang Lianzhu eavesdropped on what was going on inside.

"Brothers, this place where no one can shit is really frustrating! There is good wine and meat tonight, brothers, eat with all your heart!"

"Who says it's not the case! If I had known it was so difficult to eat meat in this place, I wouldn't have come here even if I killed myself!"

"Brother, this meat is so delicious! I'm so greedy. No, I'm going to cut off a piece with a knife to try it!"

"Look at your worthless look! When the limelight is over and the brothers go out and enjoy the hot food, I'll treat you!"

……

Jiang Lianzhu saw clearly from the gap that all of the people in the group had weapons.

They all know martial arts.

Just when Jiang Lianzhu wanted to continue to inquire, unexpectedly, footsteps were heard, and Jiang Lianzhu hid and watched secretly.

She knew the person coming—Jie Chi. .
