On the Day the Scumbag Got Married, I Lay Flat and Became His Sister-in-law Chapter 429

Chapter 429 There is something fishy about the temple

 After walking out of the inn, Gu Xiyan whispered to Zhou Mu about the relationship between Gao Zhen and the Pan family in the capital.

 “Pan family?” Zhou Mu didn't remember any Pan family in the capital.

Gu Xiyan then told the story about the relationship between the Pan family and the Zheng family. It was precisely because Gao Zhen's daughter was married to a former neighbor of the Pan family in Wuxi. If the Pan family's past was not carefully investigated, no one would think of Magistrate Gao. Connected with the Pan family.

Therefore, no one would associate Gao County Magistrate with the Zheng family in the capital.

“Madam, you even know about this kind of thing?” Zhou Mu was a little surprised.

Gu Xiyan asked Zhou Mu: "Let's go to Yunlin Temple first, and I'll tell you in detail on the way."

Yunlin Temple is about twenty miles away from Wuxi County. They had a carriage and arrived quickly.

After entering the temple, they found that there were almost no pilgrims, but the temple was very neat. Although it was some years old, the Buddha statue had a golden body.

At this moment, the abbot of the temple came out accompanied by a middle-aged man wearing a brocade robe.

Gu Xiyan recognized him at a glance. This was Fan Jian, the number one grain merchant in Wuxi.

She whispered to Zhou Mu: "This is Fan Jian. I just mentioned it to the young master on the way."

Fan Jian didn't know Zhou Mu, but the appearance and demeanor of Zhou Mu and Gu Xiyan were so outstanding that he couldn't help but take a few more glances.

Zhou Mu and Gu Xiyan did not look directly at Fan Jian, but went directly to the abbot.

The abbot couldn't help but look at the two of them, and then said: "Two donors, please stop, Yunlin Temple is not open today."

“My husband and I plan to stay overnight at Yunlin Temple tonight. I wonder if the abbot can make it easier?”

Zhou Mu stood in front of the abbot, the pressure was so heavy that the abbot couldn't breathe freely.

He looked at Fan Jian hesitantly, but before he could speak, Qi Zhiyuan offered him the sesame oil money.

When the abbot saw dozens of banknotes, he immediately forgot about everything and said with a smile: "Of course it's convenient, please give me two benefactors!"

In this way, Gu Xiyan and Zhou Mu successfully settled in Yunlin Temple.

But not long after, Zhou Xing and his people also moved into Yunlin Temple. This time, it was not like they were far apart at Jiang's house. The two parties were very close, exactly opposite each other.

Zhou Mu and Gu Xiyan stayed in the dormitory. Because of Zhou Xing, they had no desire to go out.

Zhao De and Qi Zhiyuan met at the temple. They were both responsible for searching for Jian Junyi's whereabouts. However, they had searched everywhere in Yunlin Temple and there was no trace of Jian Junyi.

Unable to find anyone, Qi Zhiyuan immediately went to the east dormitory to report the matter to Zhou Mu.

“Let's stay at Yunlin Temple tonight and leave tomorrow.” Seeing that it was getting late, Zhou Mu asked Qi Zhiyuan and the others to rest early.

Gu Xiyan was sitting on the edge of the bed thinking about things. When Zhou Mu came over, she saw her eyes were straight.

"Young Master Jian cannot disappear for no reason. Since he asked people about Linyun Temple, Linyun Temple must be a special place, right?" Gu Xiyan looked at Zhou Mu, hoping to get his approval.

 Zhou Mu felt the same way: "I want to visit Yunlin Temple at night."

 Gu Xiyan thought of Zhou Xing living in the west dormitory: "The King of Qin is watching your every move. If you visit the temple at night, all your actions will be under the eyes of the King of Qin. How about this, I will attract the attention of the King of Qin..."

Zhou Mu rejected the proposal before she could finish her words: "Then we might as well look for it again at Yunlin Temple together tomorrow."

 How could he send her to Zhou Xing? Not crazy! Seeing this, Gu Xiyan said nothing until Zhou Mu told her in her ear that Qi Youyuan would search the inside and outside of Yunlin Temple again at night.

At that moment, Gu Xiyan fell asleep peacefully.

The next day, she and Zhou Mu both got up early. They walked out of the east dormitory together, went to the dining hall to have breakfast, and then walked around Yunlin Temple.

Yunlin Temple is not big. It has three main halls, namely the Main Hall, the Heavenly King Hall and the Wealth Hall.

 The two of them walked through the three halls and found nothing out of the ordinary.

 Then they went to the bell tower. There were three floors in the bell tower. There was no way to hide people and there was no way to have a secret room.

When passing by the sutra hall, the abbot was giving lectures to the monks in the temple.

Gu Xiyan and Zhou Mu didn't want to stay too long. They listened to the sutra for a while and then left.

After that, they went to the Scripture Library. The space in this place was even more limited, and there were not many scriptures. The two of them knew that there could be no one in the Scripture Library just by looking outside.

As soon as the two of them came out of the Sutra Library, they saw a pockmarked monk walking towards them.

 The pockmarked monk saw the couple and bowed to them.

Gu Xiyan returned the gift and inadvertently lowered her head and saw that the monk's trousers were wet and stained with moss.

She looked at it twice in confusion, and felt that the moss looked familiar. She seemed to have seen it somewhere.

"What are you thinking about?" Seeing Gu Xiyan's absence, Zhou Mu almost stepped on a stone and caught her in time.

 Gu Xiyan was pulled by Zhou Mu, and suddenly an idea came to her, and she finally remembered where she had seen the same moss.

She whispered to Zhou Mu, who looked at her deeply. Their eyes met, and then they walked towards the lotus pond in the south in a tacit understanding.

It is said to be a lotus pond, but there is almost no water in the pond. Some lotus flowers have been planted, but they look sparse, and the lotus pond is almost dry. There is a lot of moss growing on the walls, just like the moss on the trouser legs of a pockmarked monk. .

Zhou Mu and Gu Xiyan just glanced at the lotus pond and determined that there was something wrong with the lotus pond. The couple passed by the lotus pond without a moment's pause as if nothing had happened.

 The two of them wandered around the temple for a while and then left Yunlin Temple.

Zhou Xing's people kept an eye on the movements of Gu Xiyan and Zhou Mu, making sure that the couple had left before reporting the situation to Zhou Xing.

"Since His Highness and the Crown Princess have left Yunlin Temple, it means that they have not found any problems with Yunlin Temple. Your Highness, is it time for us to leave Yunlin Temple too?" Zhao De reminded Zhou Xing when he saw that he was in a daze.

"I am wondering if Zhou Mu will make another false move. He deliberately used this method to attract our attention. In fact, Jian Junyi has already obtained the evidence and sent it to the capital." Zhou Xing couldn't bear it because he had been fooled once. Keep things in mind.

After hearing this, Zhao De felt that his master's idea was not unreasonable.

But they did not have enough manpower. Even if Jian Junyi had gone to the capital, they could not send people to chase him.

"Then we still have to keep an eye on His Highness?" Zhao De suddenly lost confidence.

 It's really Zhou Mu who is very cunning, and they want to make more twists and turns to get things done.

"If this king's guess is true, Zhou Mu's man seemed to be looking for someone yesterday, but in fact he was just pretending." After speaking, Zhou Xing stood up: "Currently, I can only take one step at a time and continue to stare at Zhou Mu. Let's see what other tricks he wants to play.”

That night, Zhou Mu and Gu Xiyan returned to the county town and found an inn to stay. After lunch, Gu Xiyan came up with an idea.
