Chapter 233 Perhaps It's Ironclad Evidence
"Since you are so worried, why don't you go to the Rong Mansion to inquire about the news? Besides, the Ning branch of the Jia family returned to Nanjing last year, and you can ask them for a few things!"
Daiyu found it very strange.
When Jueqin heard this, he lowered his head sadly, clasped his hands together and chanted the Buddha's name.
"Donor, you don't know..." Juexin glanced at Jueqin, gritted his teeth, and said, "Before my master brought my little sister to the capital, he issued a strict order:
"All disciples of our temple are not allowed to take the initiative to inquire about the whereabouts of Junior Sister Miaoyu. If Junior Sister comes back in the future, she is not allowed to take the initiative to inquire about her experiences over the years."
Hearing this, Daiyu wanted to clasp her hands and chant "Amitabha".
This teacher is such a caring and wise person!
The reason why the people in the temple were not allowed to go out and inquire about Miaoyu was that they were afraid that they would be discovered by King Zhongshun and his gang, and use the people in the temple to threaten Miaoyu.
The reason why they were not allowed to ask Miaoyu, who had returned, was that they were afraid that there would be too many unspeakable things in Miaoyu's revenge process, which would stir up more worldly thoughts and disrupt the practice of the nuns in the temple.
Daiyu respected Master Zigui in her heart, so she had some goodwill towards the two of them, and asked in a gentle tone, "If that's the case, isn't it going against your master's will to ask me this question now?"
"We won't ask so many questions!" Jueqin said hurriedly, "Master doesn't want to embarrass us, nor does he want to embarrass Junior Sister. We will naturally not embarrass the donor.
"Just tell me whether Miaoyu is doing well now and whether anyone is bullying her!"
As he spoke, tears welled up in Jueqin's eyes.
Daiyu sighed softly: "She is in my home now, she is doing very well."
Jueqin and Juexin chant the Buddha's name together.
Juexin then asked tentatively: "May I ask who is the donor...?"
Daiyu smiled and glanced at Zijuan.
Zijuan had just prepared a pot of tea and shared it with Daiyu and the two nuns. She straightened her back and explained with a smile:
"This is the only beloved daughter of the late Marquis Wen'an, former Imperial Censor of the Salt Inspection in Jiangnan, and Lord Lin of Gusu. She was personally conferred the title Princess Zhaoqing by the Emperor.
"Master Miao is now chanting sutras in the Buddhist temple of the Princess's Mansion. This year, he has copied a set of the Lotus Sutra and a set of the Ksitigarbha Sutra to offer to the Buddha for the festival.
"The princess's return to her hometown to worship her ancestors was not made public. So far, only the elders of the Lin family and the governor of Suzhou know about it. She came to your temple at the request of Master Miao to burn incense and offer scriptures, that's all."
After hearing the whole story, Juexin and Jueqin were immediately surprised. They looked at each other and saw excitement in each other's eyes.
Jueqin immediately cautiously probed further: "Since the princess is the descendant of Lord Lin and a native of Suzhou, I guess you have heard something about Miaoyu's past?"
Lin Daiyu motioned to Zijuan to give her another cup of tea, and drank it slowly. Then she put down the teacup, lowered her eyes and said softly:
"Everything is known, no matter how big or small."
Erni was shocked: "All, all..."
"Now that we've come to the temple, I know some more details. I guess the only thing I haven't seen with my own eyes is where her house is located." Daiyu curled the corners of her mouth.
Zijuan's face suddenly changed: "Princess, don't rashly go to the haunted house!"
Seeing how the master and servant were acting, Erni felt relieved of some of her worries: it didn't seem like a lie!
Jueqin looked at Daiyu carefully: "It seems that the princess is also a tea lover..."
"You mean Miao-gu's three bells?" Daiyu smiled slightly, "Now she has given me the ban-jue and dian-xi-qiao.
"There was another one, but I thought it was too big and clumsy, so I let her keep it!"
That’s confirmed!
Juexin looked at Jueqin, and the two looked at each other for a long time before they slowly nodded at the same time.
Jueqin hurriedly took his leave.
Daiyu raised her eyebrows: "Miaoyu told me that all the evidence and witnesses in her family's case were cleared up.
"Why do I see that the two masters are acting like this? Is there something left?"
Juexin looked ashamed, raised his hands and bowed, saying, "Princess, please allow me to report.
"In fact, this thing came into our hands two years ago. At that time, we thought it might be irrefutable evidence.
“But there is no news about Junior Sister, and we dare not go against Master’s orders to look for her, so we can only leave her there secretly.
"Now that the princess is so righteous and can speak out about her family's deep hatred, I'm sure she can also help us bring this thing back to the capital and give it to Miaoyu!"
Daiyu's eyebrows moved slightly: "Ironclad evidence?"
Juexin said solemnly: "That's right!"
Jueqin came back with a cautious look on his face, opened the door and came in, then took out a bundle from under his wide monk's robe.
He exchanged a glance with Juexin, knelt down, and raised his hands to Daiyu: "Please pass it on, Princess!"
Daiyu raised her eyebrows and said softly, "Transfer it to me? In other words, I can't watch it?"
The two Ni were stunned.
Juexin couldn't help but ask, "Will the princess take charge of Miaoyu's case?!"
"Otherwise, why would she still live in my house after telling me about this case?"
Daiyu smiled and pointed at the bundle with her slender index finger, "Open it, let me take a look."
The two people hesitated slightly.
After a moment, Jueqin seemed to have made up his mind. He bit his lip, lowered his head without looking at Juexin, put the bag on the ground, and opened it with trembling hands!
The things inside were taken out, unfolded and spread out in front of Daiyu!
Daiyu looked at the things on the ground and narrowed her eyes slightly.
It is indeed, irrefutable evidence!
…(Aaaah, I really want to draw a dividing line here, but there’s no need to)…
It was a men's inner robe, and it looked very old.
Bright yellow, with Kuilong pattern.
These are colors and patterns that can only be used by the royal family of this dynasty.
A small piece of the front of the robe was torn off.
She still remembered that Miaoyu once said that when she rushed back to the house that had been looted by "bandits", her father was tied up and thrown on the ground with a piece of yellow silk cloth stuffed in his mouth.
If this piece of physical evidence is still in the files in Suzhou, then when compared with this robe, I think it will match.
This indirectly proves that the "bandit" was either a member of the royal family pretending to be someone else, or he intended to "wrongly accuse" the royal family.
This piece of evidence will enable the government to reopen the investigation into the case.
As long as there is a reason to start the investigation, then today, with her watching openly and Prince Beijing secretly fanning the flames, Prince Zhongshun will definitely be dug out!
Daiyu let out a sigh of relief and closed her eyes.
The opportunity that everyone has been waiting for has been released by someone with ulterior motives!
"How did you get this thing?" Daiyu opened her eyes and looked at Jueqin and Juexin.
Jueqin said hurriedly: "It was Miaoyu's old housekeeper who risked his life to follow Prince Zhongshun. One day, he dug it out from the garbage that his servants took out and packed and threw away!
"In order to steal this thing, he was discovered and chased for two or three hundred miles. The day after he was sent to us, he died of his injuries.
"We didn't dare to announce his death publicly, so we had to bury him quietly in Miaoyu's old house at night.
"That's a loyal servant!"
Daiyu nodded happily.
It seems that what I thought was right. In fact, someone originally wanted to send this thing to Rongguo Mansion, so that Jia Shi could take the lead and confront Prince Zhongshun.
But now it has become myself.
Haha, if that’s the case, then we won’t be able to satisfy the other party’s wishes!
