Chapter 715 Headless Corpse
Chapter 715 Headless Corpse
However, after a stick of incense had passed, Huan Bin left with his soldiers.
When we returned to the main gate of Hanguang Temple, the moon was already high in the sky.
Huan Bin was exhausted after working for most of the day and was just about to find a place to have a quick bite to eat when he suddenly saw several Qianniu Guards and a monk running towards him in a hurry.
Huan Bin, who had experienced countless storms, knew that something big must have happened, so he had to give up thinking about eating, put his hand on the hilt of his sword, and waited for someone to come over.
"Meet the General!"
Zhang Huan clasped his fists and saluted, looking frightened.
"What happened, Zhang Huan? Why are you so panicked?"
Although Huan Bin already knew what had happened, he still pretended to know nothing.
He patted Zhang Huan's shoulder gently, trying his best to comfort his subordinate.
"General, ask him."
Zhang Huan found it difficult to speak, so he had to push the monk out.
Huan Bin had met that monk several times during the day. He was Jingkong, the monk on duty at the White Horse Temple.
He had long known the other party's true identity. He was a member of the Inner Guard Palace and had been hiding in the Hanguang Temple for many years just to monitor Yuan Tiangang.
But the other party's identity was hidden in the dark after all, so he had to treat him as an ordinary monk.
"Jingkong, right?"
Huan Bin glanced at the other person sideways.
"Tell me, what happened?"
Jingkong's mouth twitched slightly, wondering how come General Qianniuwei was so awesome?
But on second thought, he was just a small and dispensable inner guard under the command of the Demon Spirit.
It is normal for the other party to be a little more powerful.
"My humble humble servant Jingkong greets the great general."
"General, we found a body in the backyard. Please move to the backyard."
Jingkong lowered his posture and spoke softly.
Huan Bin raised his eyebrows and said:
"Really? This general came from the backyard. I had someone bury the body you found. The deceased was Huaiyi's bodyguard."
"What's so good about this? I was the one who killed him."
He turned to Zhang Huan and asked:
"What's wrong, Zhang Huan, don't you know about this?"
Zhang Huan was sweating profusely and his face looked extremely ugly.
"General, that's not the case!"
"I saw with my own eyes the burial of the body you mentioned."
"Just as we were burying the body, we found another body. I called the monk on duty, and after we dug the body out, we realized it was missing a head."
"That's why we've come to look for you, General."
Huan Bin is also a good actor, and his expression changed immediately.
"what?"
"A headless body?"
He pretended to be in a hurry, selected a few Qianniu Guards soldiers, and brought Lu Tong with him, intending to let Lu Tong be the witness.
A group of more than ten people hurried to the back garden.
The back garden of Hanguang Temple is near Huaiyi's residence. Huanbin came from here and is now familiar with the place.
Soon, everyone arrived at the back garden.
In the luxurious Hanguang Temple, which has six courtyards, this back garden is also extraordinary. Judging from the area alone, it is more than twice the size of the courtyard where Huaiyi lives.
It’s just that most places are used to grow vegetables, and there are very few areas that are vacant.
After discovering the headless body, the Qianniu Guards who were responsible for guarding Huaiyi's slaves sent more than a dozen people to guard the headless body.
Seeing Huan Bin leading his men towards them in a menacing manner, all the soldiers saluted.
"I've seen the general!"
"That's all right. Just stand aside."
Huan Bin waved his hand casually, then quickly came to the side of the big pit and squatted down.
There was a headless corpse in the pit. Judging from the degree of decay, it had only been dead for more than a day.
The only puzzling thing was that the head of the corpse had been chopped off, making it impossible to tell who it belonged to.
And when you look at the other person's ordinary chest, you no longer need to take off their pants to tell whether they are a man or a woman.
"Monk on duty, where is the abbot?"
Huan Bin raised his head and looked at the monk Jingkong.
Jingkong didn't expect that after seeing the corpse, Huanbin didn't ask anything but only asked the abbot, so he quickly stood up.
"The abbot, accompanied by a general, summoned all the monks to the main hall."
"I will go and call the abbot now."
Huan Bin shook his head and pointed at Lu Tong.
"General Lu, please take someone to the main hall."
"Bring here General Han and the abbot, and instruct the soldiers not to let any monks escape."
Lu Tong clasped his fists and led his men away.
Huan Bin glanced at Qi Hu and Pan Yue who were standing on the other side and beckoned to them.
"You two, take ten Qianniu Guards and hurry back to Luoyang to report what happened here to His Majesty."
"It would be best if we could invite a prime minister from His Majesty who is good at solving cases."
Although Huan Bin did not specify which prime minister he wanted to invite.
But Qi Hu and Pan Yue both knew it well.
In the past few years, they have followed Li Cunxi around the country and participated in countless cases.
Of course, he went to invite Li Cunxi.
Of course, if they wanted to invite someone else, they were afraid the emperor would not agree.
The Council of State is extremely busy right now. If Di Renjie is invited here, the workload of the prime ministers will double.
Qi Hu and Pan Yue received the order, selected ten Qianniu Guards, and immediately set off for Luoyang.
The gates of Luoyang had already been closed late at night. Qi Hu and Pan Yue used the Qianniu Guard badges to open the gate and easily entered the Taichu Palace.
When they arrived outside Ganlu Palace, they handed their badges to the guards on duty and said:
"We are Qi Hu and Pan Yue, captains of the Qianniu Guard. We have come to see Your Majesty on the orders of the General. I wonder if Your Majesty is asleep?"
The guards didn't care whose orders Qi Hu and Pan Yue were following. They only knew that their mission was to prevent anyone from seeing the emperor after he fell asleep.
Therefore, a group of guards stopped the two men.
"Captains, His Majesty is already asleep. We dare not disturb him. Please return."
Qi Hu and Pan Yue also knew the duties of these guards, and it was not easy for them to continue asking to see the emperor, so they had to leave in disappointment.
The two of them hadn't walked far when Pan Yue suddenly remembered something and said to Qi Hu:
"Qi Hu, you and I came here to see His Majesty on the orders of the General. We cannot just go back in disgrace."
"How about this, we go find the ministers directly. If we can meet one of them and tell them what happened in Hanguang Temple, how can they just ignore it?"
"By then, even if the ministers do not meet His Majesty, they will definitely send one or two people to Hanguang Temple to thoroughly investigate this matter."
"how do you feel?"
Qi Hu clenched his right fist and slammed his left palm.
A look of surprise appeared on his face involuntarily.
"Okay, you're right!"
"Although you and I cannot meet His Majesty, we can go and look for the ministers!"
"The ministers must be in the government hall handling complicated government affairs at this moment. You and I should go there quickly."
