Seeing that she was absent-minded, the servant couldn't help following her gaze, looked at Mrs. Zhao's confession, saw the words Guanyin Temple, and explained with understanding: "Wang Fan's mother was buried on the back mountain of Guanyin Temple."

"No wonder Mrs. Zhao is engraved with Buddhist scriptures whether it is a fan pendant or a pearl hairpin jewelry. After Mrs. Wang expected something to happen, she went to Guanyin Temple as soon as possible." Guanyin Temple is really vicious enough!"

People who are idle are buried in the back mountain of Guanyin Temple, perhaps for the purpose of being sheltered or receiving some incense, so that they can be reborn in a good family in the next life.But Wang Fan's mother was killed by them, and she was buried in such a place, obviously not for her blessing.

It is impossible for Mrs. Zhao not to know this.

Now that I know...

"It's useless for her to know." Seemingly knowing what she was thinking, the servant said, "Wang Da and Mrs. Wang dare to threaten Wang Fan, because they must know that she will not let Wang Fan go. But as long as she cares about Wang Fan, Then you can only be coerced, which is probably one of the reasons why her jewelry is engraved with Buddhist scriptures."

"With this ability, what to do is not good, but to do these things that affect the whole family." After a few words of disdain, Yue Jian suddenly changed the subject, "Didn't it say that Wang Fan has the talent to be admitted to the imperial examination? Look at Mrs. Zhao The pearls and hairpins are all engraved with Buddhist scriptures, so he doesn't have any doubts?"

The waiter glanced at her, "If Miss Chen hadn't found the bodhi seed in Ma Huai's study, and based on the Buddhist scriptures engraved on Mrs. Zhao's pearl hairpin, even if she knew that she was Wang Fanniang's direct sister, what would you doubt?"

"I really don't doubt anything." Yue Jian tutted twice.

"Not only won't doubt it, but I'm afraid she will even praise her twice, because of her deep affection for her sister." The servant said softly.

Yue Jian nodded.

As for Chen Chaoyan, who had been silent all this time, his eyes lit up involuntarily after hearing the word Bodhizi mentioned in the servant book.Stretching out a few words on Guanyin Temple with her fingers, and after deliberating for a moment, she slowly said: "The trial of Mrs. Zhao has to continue. Wang Da acted carefully, from when he dealt with me and those merchants who were manipulated by him, Song Yanzhong and others. From the performance point of view, he is still a person who is used to controlling everything. Wang Fan's future is ruined, and threatening his life is not a long-term matter. Only if she is caught in the same situation as those merchants, for him, is the most important thing. the safest."

"Miss Chen is right," Shi Shu's eyes flashed with admiration, "The other murderer who murdered Zhou Zhongcai was Lady Zhao."

Yue Jian snorted twice, "She loves Wang Fan very much, seeing him being tortured, she doesn't even care about her own life."

The servant said indifferently: "The result of Wang Fan's death."

Yuejian snorted again: "This Wang Fan is also a dutiful son, he will do anything to avenge his mother."

Shi Shu didn't answer, but looked at Chen Chaoyan.

Chen Chaoyan asked: "Madam Wang hasn't tried yet?"

"It's been interrogated, and I don't want to say anything." The servant replied.

Yuejian asked: "Is it useless to use torture and threaten future generations?"

After taking a look at Chen Chaoyan, the waiter nodded slightly.

After Chen Chaoyan intentionally avoided the words of torture, she changed the subject and said, "Have the fingerprints of Mrs. Zhao and the Wang family been collected?"

The waiter said: "Still collecting."

As soon as the words were finished, Ruolan entered the room with her fingerprints.

Seeing this, Yue Jian immediately went to the compartment where the evidence was piled up on the bookshelf, and took out a few secret letters from Ma Huai's study.

Chen Chaoyan picked up Mrs. Zhao's fingerprint, and held it up to the same height as the secret letter. After avoiding the direct scrutiny of Shi Shu, Yue Jian and others, she immediately looked at the light screen.

On the light screen, Mrs. Zhao's fingerprints overlapped with the three fingerprints on the confidential letter that had not yet been compared.

Although he had expected it, Chen Chaoyan couldn't help squinting his eyes when he saw the three overlapping fingerprints.

Wang Da realized that she might be using fingerprints to investigate the case. When he used these white linen papers to blame Ma Huai, he was always on guard against leaving fingerprints to test her, but when Mrs. Zhao went to Ma Huai's house with a secret letter, he did not She was not told about it.Is he doing this to continue to test her, or is he trying to use her hand to get rid of Mrs. Zhao?

Chen Chaoyan couldn't figure out his thoughts, so she simply didn't guess.After marking next to the three fingerprints with a pen, he reminded: "Tell you son, take Mrs. Zhao to Guanyin Temple tomorrow."

Guanyin Temple is located in Zhanghuang Mountain, [-] miles away from the southern suburbs of Luyang County.

Zhanghuang Mountain faces the canal and carries the mountains on its back.Although the mountain is not high, it is like nine peaks for protection, and it is shaped like a lotus.Surrounded by clear water and lush green cypresses, it has always been known as "the lotus meets the green".

The carriage left Luyang County, and after driving slowly for more than half an hour, it arrived at Zhanghuang Mountain.Under the guidance of Feng Shoudao, the carriage drove along the winding forest path for two cups of tea before reaching the Guanyin Temple halfway up the mountain.

The Guanyin Temple is not big, but it is also not small. Adding up the front and back, there are almost twelve halls.

The carriage stopped in the open space in front of the mountain gate, and the presiding officer Huiyin who had been waiting for a long time immediately led the nuns to meet him.After bowing respectfully and solemnly, Chen Chaoyan followed Xie Xuan, and under the guidance of Huiyin, he passed through the mountain gate and the first layer of halls one after another, and finally stopped in the Guanyin Hall.

After receiving the incense handed by the host Huiyin, he inserted it into the incense burner after three bows.Amidst the lingering cigarettes, Feng Shoudao said straight to the point: "The host must have known why I came here today. The matter is important, so let the host lead the way."

Host Huiyin clasped his hands together and said 'Amitabha Buddha' to the Avalokitesvara statue, then sighed imperceptibly before turning around and leading the crowd towards the back mountain.

All the way from the foot of the mountain, there are green cypresses and pines.

Turning to the back mountain, there are no trees in sight, only a sea of ​​bamboos.

The wind blows the bamboo leaves, rolling like waves.

The sun seems to be less dazzling.

Walking up the bluestone path slowly, the greenery that catches the eye gradually calms down the mood.

After walking to the top of the mountain, passing through several tombs without monuments, and finally stopping in front of a few solitary tombs surrounded by green pines under the guidance of Mrs. Zhao, Chen Chaoyan slowly came to her senses.

The solitary grave was apparently tended to from time to time.

Within a radius of one foot, there were no weeds.

In the iron basin in front of the grave, paper ashes, candle ashes, and incense ashes have been piled up to the brim.

After walking around the lonely grave twice, and finally standing still at the top of the grave, Chen Chaoyan looked at Mrs. Zhao, "Are you sure that your sister is buried in this grave?"

Mrs. Zhao was tortured for many days, her body was extremely weak.With the help of two maidservants struggling to support him, he could barely stand.Hearing Chen Chaoyan's words, she pursed her lips tightly, and after a while, she replied: "I bribed the woman next to Mrs. Wang to find out about this graveyard. That's why Wang Da's bastard took Fan'er's. My life is threatened."

"In that case," Chen Chaoyan ordered, "then dig."
