Chapter 62 Yunjian Temple
Sensing the spark between the two, Hua Manlou could only helplessly try to reconcile them.
After all, this matter concerns the fate of the Hua family, and there is no room for carelessness.
The richest man in the Ming Dynasty today is Wan Sanqian, but the Hua family is not much less wealthy.
Otherwise, the imperial court wouldn't have sought cooperation with the Hua family on the Datong Baochao (a type of paper currency).
However, now that the Datong Baochao (a type of paper money) has run into problems, even if the case is eventually solved, the Hua family will definitely be affected.
The only difference lies in the magnitude of the impact.
The faster the case is solved and the faster the losses are contained, the less impact it will have on the Hua family.
Conversely, the greater the impact, the stronger the influence.
Therefore, the person most eager to solve the case here is Hua Manlou.
"Different methods of handling cases mean that working together is not necessarily faster than working independently."
Zhang Jinjiu said.
"I agree."
Lu Xiaofeng also said with a smile.
Those in the same industry are rivals, so how could they possibly cooperate easily?
Moreover, these investigators mostly only trust themselves.
Because before the truth is clear, everyone involved could be the mastermind.
Hua Manlou smiled helplessly upon hearing this.
Seeing this, Gu Qianbei said, "How about this? Every night at midnight, we will gather together, share the information we have collected, and work together to deduce the truth."
This would benefit everyone involved and also help solve the case as quickly as possible.
This case concerns people's livelihoods; solving it sooner will reduce the number of victims.
What do you all think?
Upon hearing this, everyone fell into deep thought.
Hua Manlou was the first to speak: "That's a great idea, I absolutely agree."
"Alright, I'll listen to Brother Gu. Lu Xiaofeng, what about you?"
"You've all mentioned the people of the world. If I refuse again, wouldn't I become a sinner? So it's settled then."
Lu Xiaofeng smiled and stroked his beard, not refusing.
The four of them formally reached a consensus.
"Brother Gu, let's go. This time we'll go to Yunjian Temple to see Yue Qing's memorial tablet."
After Zhang Jinjiu finished speaking, he pulled Gu Qianbei away.
Hua Manlou then asked Lu Xiaofeng.
Where do you plan to investigate?
"Naturally, I'll investigate this den of iniquity with its beauties and gambling dens. This kind of place is perfect for me, Lu Xiaofeng."
A smile that was hard to decipher appeared on Lu Xiaofeng's face.
The four men split up, and Boss Qian watched the direction they left in, his emotions unreadable.
Yunjian Temple.
"I didn't expect this temple to be so popular with worshippers."
Gu Qianbei looked around and couldn't help but sigh.
"There are many temples in the capital, but when it comes to the most popular temples, Yunjian Temple is definitely one of the top choices. However, my favorite is Yunhe Temple outside the city."
"Yunhe Temple? Is it the Yunhe Temple of Master Jianchi?"
"Indeed. I didn't expect you to have heard of Master Jianchi. This master was a true Buddhist master, but he was not interested in fame or fortune, so few people knew about him."
"I have met his apprentice, Lu Zhu."
"I see. I heard that Master Lu Zhu went to chase after Xi Yu, who had defected from the Black Stone Organization, and only returned to Yunhe Temple a few days ago."
Nowadays, many people go to Yunhe Temple to inquire about the whereabouts of Master Lu Zhu regarding the fine rain.
However, Master Lu Zhu only left behind the words, "When Xi Yu withdrew from the martial world, half of Luo Mo's remains followed him," before going into seclusion and refusing to see anyone.
Therefore, all these people were turned away by Master Jianchi.
Some tried to use force, but Master Jianchi was ruthless, sweeping them all out with a single move of the Thousand-Hand Tathagata Palm.
Tsk tsk, I really admire these people, they actually dared to fight against the Grandmaster-level Master Jianchi.
Even if they obtained Rama's remains and mastered the techniques, they might not be a match for Master Jianchi.
Upon hearing this, Gu Qianbei's heart stirred.
Lu Zhu actually returned to Yunhe Temple.
Doesn't that mean he broke the fate of the sword rain, and Lu Zhu didn't die on the path of converting the fine rain?
I just don't know how this drizzle will end.
Will she become like Zeng Jing again?
What was even more unexpected was that Master Jianchi was so powerful.
The two chatted idly until they arrived at the Rebirth Hall of Yunjian Temple.
There are many memorial tablets placed here, including one for Yue Qing.
Zhang Jinjiu walked to Yue Qing's memorial tablet, touched it, and frowned slightly.
"There's no dust on the memorial tablet; it seems someone comes to clean it regularly. Could Yue Qing's daughter really be at Yunjian Temple?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Qianbei also stepped forward and touched the memorial tablet.
"Brother Zhang, your judgment is a bit hasty."
"How so?"
Zhang Jinjiu asked, puzzled.
"This memorial tablet looks completely translucent and feels cool and smooth to the touch. It's obviously been uncleaned for a long time and was just wiped clean today."
If it's regularly cleaned, it should look smooth and soft, with a stable sheen, and feel slightly rough to the touch.
Gu Qianbei explained slowly.
"There's such a difference? Brother Gu, how do you know this?"
Zhang Jinjiu asked curiously.
"Some life experience. Putting all that aside, as soon as we learned that Yue Qing had a daughter, someone came over to clean the memorial tablet."
Something feels off about this.
Gu Qianbei smiled, the meaning of which was obvious, and Zhang Jinjiu guessed it as well.
"It seems someone wants us to believe that Yue Qing's daughter is still alive and often comes to Yunjian Temple."
"The people behind this know that we and Lu Xiaofeng are investigating this case, and they're setting a trap for us. This Yunjian Temple is the stage they've set up, and I think there should be other actors here."
Why don't we take a look?
"Play along?"
"good."
Gu Qianbei and Zhang Jinjiu hit it off immediately and summoned the young novice monk from Yunjian Temple.
"Amitabha Buddha, what business do you two have with this humble monk?"
"Little monk, tell me, who usually cleans this memorial tablet?"
Zhang Jinjiu asked directly.
The young novice monk looked thoughtful, then said, "I remember she was a very beautiful girl."
Zhang Jinjiu and Gu Qianbei exchanged a glance. Gu Qianbei asked, "What's that girl's name? Where does she live?"
"All I know about her is her name, Wuyan. I don't know anything else. She comes here every few days. The last time she came was the day before yesterday."
If you two gentlemen wish to see her, perhaps you can wait until tomorrow.
"Thank you for your guidance, young master."
"Amitabha, you are too kind, benefactor. If there is nothing else, I will take my leave."
After the young novice left, Zhang Jinjiu whispered, "It seems that the monks of Yunjian Temple are involved in this case."
"If it weren't for Brother Gu discovering the problem with this memorial tablet, if that woman came tomorrow with the axe tattoo on her chest, I would definitely have thought she was Yue Qing's daughter."
"The news about Yue Qing's daughter has been leaked, and the person behind it has reacted so quickly."
Brother Zhang, it seems you're right, the person behind this is indeed connected to the imperial court.
Investigating this case will offend some people.
"Hehe, so what if we offend them? If the sky falls, there are always taller people to hold it up. The Number One Manor and the Hua family are both powerful figures; we're just small fry. We should just do what we're supposed to do and not worry about these things."
Zhang Jinjiu smiled, then opened the wine gourd at his waist, took a sip, and his eyes flickered, clearly indicating that he was not at peace.
