After time travel, I ate glutinous rice bran in ancient times

Captain Liu nodded: "Yes, I think so too."

"That little nun Jingyin is probably not going to escape responsibility!"

……

In the lobby of the county government, County Magistrate Hai went to court.

"Pa!" Magistrate Hai slammed the gavel and shouted, "Pass on the Pure Heart!"

Jingxin is the taller of the two little nuns who guard the gate.

Soon, the little nun Jingxin was brought to the hall. The yamen runners on both sides shouted "majestic", which frightened her so much that she trembled. The fierceness she had when guarding the gate was completely gone.

When he saw County Magistrate Hai, he hurriedly bowed and said, "Amitabha, Shui, I am Jingxinjian, a little nun from Shuijing Temple, greeting the County Magistrate!"

"Jingxin, don't be scared. I summoned you here just to ask you a few questions." County Magistrate Hai looked at Jingxin and said loudly.

Jingxin said hurriedly: "Yes, I don't know what you want to ask me. I, I don't know anything!"

Wang Yugui listened from behind and laughed secretly, saying, "The adults haven't even asked you yet, but you know nothing."

Do you want to let Mr. Hai ask? Or do you not want to let Mr. Hai ask?

"Jingxin, I want to ask you, are you and Jingchen responsible for taking care of the sacred flowers in your nunnery?" County Magistrate Hai didn't bother with her and asked directly.

Jingxin nodded: "Yes, sir, it was Master Nianshan who sent me and Junior Sister Jingchen to look after him."

"Have you ever seen anyone stealing the sacred flower or pinching its leaves?" County Magistrate Hai asked again.

Jingxin listened, thought about it, and shook his head: "No, if I see someone trying to get close to the sacred flower, I will tell them in time that the sacred flower cannot be approached, otherwise the Bodhisattva will blame them."

"Once the pilgrims hear this, they will naturally leave!"

"Are you sure? You didn't let anyone steal the berries when you were careless?" County Magistrate Hai frowned and asked.

Jingxin chanted the Buddha's name: "Amitabha, sir, of course I am sure!"

"If we find someone who disobeys our advice and steals the sacred flower, we must report it to Master immediately."

"Master said that we can't let pilgrims take the sacred flower out of Shuijing Temple!"

"Let alone pilgrims, even we are not allowed to get close to the sacred flower on weekdays."

"Only Master and Uncle Nianzhen can clean up and deal with the fallen leaves and branches of the divine flower. No one else can touch them!"

After hearing this, Wang Yugui nodded secretly. Master Nianshan was truly a responsible person. She knew that the magical flower was poisonous, so she and her sister even picked up the fallen leaves and dead branches themselves.

"Well, then, let me ask you again, when the women of Mr. Zhang's mansion went to Shuijing Temple to burn incense and worship Buddha, did anyone pick the sacred flower?" County Magistrate Hai reminded Jingxin

After hearing this, Jingxin said, "I don't think so. I didn't see this part anyway."

"Oh, you're only guarding one section?" County Magistrate Hai asked hurriedly.

Jingxin nodded: "Yes, sir, I will be responsible for guarding the front half of the sacred flower near the temple gate, and Sister Jingchen will be responsible for guarding the back half of the sacred flower inside."

"No one should have stolen the divine flower during Junior Sister Jingchen's time. I haven't heard her talk about it!"

"Very good. Let me ask you one more question. Do you drink tea on weekdays? Have you ever gone to Master Jingyin to get tea?" County Magistrate Hai nodded, looked at Jingxin, and asked again.

Jingxin listened and nodded: "I usually drink tea, but I only use the ordinary tea leaves that are always available in the nunnery."

Then he shook his head and said, "The tea leaves collected by Jingyin are all good teas given to Master by great donors. Master keeps them for himself to drink or to entertain distinguished guests."

"How can I be qualified to ask Junior Sister Jingyin for tea to drink?"

This little nun Jingxin seemed quite honest. She answered whatever was asked, without beating around the bush or asking questions again.

"Yes, very good." County Magistrate Hai nodded, and suddenly asked again: "Master Jingxin, your nunnery is located on a hillside in the suburbs. Is it peaceful in the nunnery at night? Is there any noise?"

"Noise? No, our nunnery is very quiet. I sleep very soundly and never wake up until dawn." Jingxin heard the question and replied.

After saying this, he looked at County Magistrate Hai with a slightly puzzled look in his eyes.

County Magistrate Hai smiled slightly and nodded: "Very good!"

"Jingxin, please go down. If you think of anything unusual, you can report it to the county at any time."

After County Magistrate Hai finished speaking, he waved his hand, and after Jingxin signed and sealed his name, he was taken away by the yamen runners.

Alas, this little nun Jingxin didn’t see anything, so it was useless to ask. Wang Yugui sighed inwardly.

"Pa!" Magistrate Hai slammed the gavel again and shouted, "Call Jingchen!"

Soon, the slightly shorter little nun Jingchen was brought into the hall.

When Jingchen first went to court, her reaction was similar to Jingxin's, except that she was a little bolder. Although she lowered her head, her eyes were not idle and she was looking around cunningly!

"Pa!" Magistrate Hai slammed the gavel and shouted, "Jingchen, do you admit your guilt?"

Jingchen was startled and shivered involuntarily, stammering, "Sir, what crime have I committed?"

Wang Yugui was also shocked. He didn't expect that County Magistrate Hai suddenly changed his interrogation style and was no longer as calm as he was with Jingxin just now.

"Hmph, you still dare to ask me?" County Magistrate Hai said coldly, and then said: "Master Nianshan asked you to be responsible for guarding the second half of the divine flower. How did you guard it?"

"Someone stole the sacred flower, but you didn't report it to Master Nianshan, and allowed the sacred flower to be taken away from Shuijing Temple."

"You knew the truth but didn't report it. What crime have you committed?"

When Jingxin heard what County Magistrate Hai said, his face changed drastically: "The divine flower was taken out of Shuijing Temple? Sir, what are you talking about? I, why don't I understand?"

"Hmph, let me remind you again. When the Third Young Master's wife took the women of the Zhang family to the Shuijing Temple to burn incense, did someone steal the sacred flower?" County Magistrate Hai looked at Jingxin coldly.

Jingxin frowned when he heard this, and suddenly, as if he suddenly realized something, he said loudly: "Oh, sir, are you saying that Juan'er, the maid of the Third Young Master's wife, stole the divine flower?"

"It seems you remember it now. Tell me what happened that day!" County Magistrate Hai said calmly.

Jingxin looked at County Magistrate Hai with a guilty conscience: "Sir, I haven't told anyone about this. How did you know about this?"

"Did Juan'er say that? Oh, that day I saw her holding a basket with her back to me, standing in front of the sacred flower, as if she was picking flowers."

"I hurried over and shouted to her, telling her not to get close to the sacred flower, as it cannot be picked."

"She turned around and smiled at me and said she didn't pick the flowers, she was just passing by and taking a look."

"I was just about to go up to check, when the Third Young Master's wife suddenly came from behind and called Juan'er away."

Jingxin sighed and said, "Alas, the Zhang family is a big donor, so it is not convenient for me to interrogate them, so I didn't dare to chase them."
