Chapter 412: The Old Taoist Temple in the Tang Dynasty Xiao Kun Dao 20

At noon, Jiang Yue stayed in the Taoist temple and had a meal. While eating, he saw the little girl again. Maybe because the old Taoist priest was beside her, the little girl did not run away this time. Jiang Yue picked up some food for her and asked her name. Only then did he know that her name was Zhang Wanru. After the meal, while the old Taoist priest was cleaning up, Jiang Yue took a closer look at the child's face. He thought that this child had a destiny with this poor Taoist priest, and it would be just right for her to be his apprentice.

However, the two of them are not familiar with each other yet, so now is not a good time. Jiang Yue stayed here until the afternoon and then temporarily said goodbye and returned to the city. Before leaving, she specially said hello to Zhang Wanru. After going down the mountain, Puppet drove to pick her up. After getting in the car, Jiang Yue touched her chin and thought about Xiao Wanru's family.

In Jiang Yue's opinion, the stories of being doomed to be alone or having bad luck with relatives were all complete nonsense. Although she did not know much about the art of physiognomy, she had learned divination-related skills when she wanted to learn them in the world of immortal cultivation. It was obviously made up by someone. The elements of a wealthy businessman and having both parents deceased were very classic. It was obvious that someone wanted to wipe out the entire family, and they were the kind of people who were so shameless that they were unwilling to even put in any superficial effort.

Maybe they were the ones who planned for the child's parents to get into trouble. Jiang Yue had seen a lot of such things. After thinking about it all the way home, she let the puppets go out to investigate. The two puppets investigated the case very quickly. After all, big data and money paved the way. After Jiang Yue finished dinner, the truth was revealed to her.

After reading the information, Jiang Yue thought that it was true. It was his uncle who did it, but the beneficiary was a member of the Zhang family. On the surface, it was his uncle's idea, but in fact it was secretly instigated by the clan members. Money is tempting, especially since there is only a girl in the family and no boys. After a long time, someone would have ideas, especially since the child is relatively smart and not easy to fool.

The specific process was that the man went out to do business and was robbed, the male owner was killed and then the female owner committed suicide, leaving a little girl who was much easier to deal with.

The puppet also found out by the way that Zhang Wanru did not go there to commit suicide. Judging from the traces, it was the old Taoist priest who was found by himself. The old Taoist priest thought he was lucky to have met her.

When Jiang Yue smiled, she knew that her acting skills were good at such a young age, but who was Jiang Yue? It was not easy to hide it from her. After reading the information, Jiang Yue liked her more. She was brave and resourceful at a young age, and although her methods were a little immature, it was still good.

After putting down this piece of information, he looked at the last piece of information. After reading it, Jiang Yue felt more satisfied. It turned out that the old Taoist priest was not chosen randomly. The puppet found out that a high-ranking official with a good reputation would occasionally play chess with the old Taoist priest. Hey, isn't this a match? When Jiang Yue was a child, he was so bad compared to him.

After reading the information, Jiang Yue lay on the chair with her eyes closed. She was thinking about what to do about this matter. She would definitely help her get revenge, but she had to consider what method to choose. Finally, she thought it would be better to make it public. Anyway, the child would be investigated when he returned to Chang'an.

Jiang Yue opened his eyes, called the puppet and gave orders. Within a few days, the matter became a hot topic in the city. The fact that Zhang's uncle murdered his brother's family was revealed to the public. Jiang Yue personally took action, captured the bandit who was in collusion with Zhang's uncle, and sent him to the government office.

As for the other clansmen, the puppet was reading memories at the time, and there is no substantial evidence to prove that they were the ones behind the crime, but verbal provocation can also be considered as incitement to crime, and this family cannot escape, not to mention the accusation of Zhang Wanru's uncle.

This matter caused a lot of uproar, but Zhang Wanru, who was on the mountain, didn't know about it. Jiang Yue was originally going to inform her, but stopped her. Jiang Yue still didn't want her to hear the previous words about plotting against her parents. It was too dirty and evil and would affect her physical and mental health.

The day before the verdict was handed down, Jiang Yue went to the mountain to pick up the child. During this period, Jiang Yue often went to the mountain to build relationships with the child. The old Taoist priest trusted her more. After picking up the child, Jiang Yue took the child to her home to settle down. After she took a shower and changed her clothes, she let her go to bed.

The next morning, after everyone woke up, Jiang Yue took her hand and went out, took her to have breakfast first, and then rushed to the yamen before the verdict. At first, Zhang Wanru didn't know why Jiang Yue brought her here, because the case to be judged that day was not just one case.

When her uncle and clan members were pressed up, her expression changed. After she heard the verdict of the government on the murderer of her parents, she cried silently, wanting to cry but unable to. Seeing this, Jiang Yue felt distressed. Jiang Yue wiped her tears, held her in her arms and said gently, "Cry, cry, it will be better if you cry."

Perhaps the child felt familiar with Jiang Yue's embrace, and she burst into tears unconsciously. After the verdict was over and the yamen was closed, Jiang Yue picked up the child and put her in the carriage. After arriving home, she fell asleep in Jiang Yue's arms while crying. After putting the child on the crib, Jiang Yue applied some medicine to her eyes, otherwise her eyes would definitely be swollen the next day.

The next day, after everyone woke up, Jiang Yue took her to worship her parents. You have to know that before, those clansmen didn't even let her worship her parents, and didn't even allow the child's mother to be buried in the ancestral tomb. It was her mother's family who found a place for her to be buried. At Zhang Wanru's request, Jiang Yue found a suitable day and buried her father and mother together.

As the days passed, Zhang Wanru gradually recovered from the grief of losing her parents. Under Jiang Yue's careful care, she became much more cheerful. Three months later, Zhang Wanru formally took Jiang Yue as her master. However, the formal apprenticeship ceremony had to wait until they returned to Chang'an. During this period, Jiang Yue took her to find an old Taoist priest outside the city.

Zhang Wanru confessed everything to the old Taoist priest. The old Taoist priest touched her head and smiled and said that he did not blame her. In fact, he also knew something. After all, the child was impatient and asked about the news of the senior official several times. The old Taoist priest had seen a lot of things in his life. He knew that there must be something fishy about Zhang Wanru's family. Even if Jiang Yue did not take action, he would help when the time was right.

Zhang Wanru burst into tears after learning the truth. When she was about to kneel down and kowtow to the old Taoist priest, she was stopped: "Good child, follow your master well in the future. Don't dwell too much on the past, and look more to the future."

After saying goodbye to the old Taoist priest, Jiang Yue and his apprentice were about to leave here and start again. On the day of departure, Jiang Yue took Zhang Wanru to worship their parents. After burning paper money, Jiang Yue left first, leaving Zhang Wanru to talk to her parents, otherwise she wouldn't know when she would come back next time.

Jiang Yue watched the child crying and laughing from afar. She did not use any means to listen to what others said. When she saw Zhang Wanru kowtowed to her parents and walked towards them, Jiang Yue put the things in the car. After the child got in the car, the two of them set off towards the rising sun.
