Consolidated Testimony!
As he spoke, Chen Lusheng cupped his hands and said to Fang Jun,"Milord, if you don't believe me, you can interrogate them.”
Fang Jun didn't immediately order people to bring Zhu Si and the truffle over. Instead, his gaze shifted back and forth between Chen Lusheng and Miao Cong.
After a long time, he ordered,"Bring witness Zhu Si and nun Su Lu."”
After a while, Zhu Si was brought to the court with a seven or eight-year-old nun.
What was unexpected was that the little nun was a nun with a certificate despite her young age. There was not a single strand of hair on her bald head.
"I am Zhu Si."
"Poor nun truffle,"
"Greetings, Milord."
Chen Sheng exclaimed.
"Isn't that the little nun who was at the entrance of the Wisdom Pool Temple that day?”
Fang Jun was also shocked.
That was because when they asked her that day, half of her body was hidden behind the door. Moreover, they were facing the strong light at that time. They could only vaguely see that she was a little girl of seven or eight years old from her face, but they could not see her appearance clearly.
Looking at her now, this seven or eight-year-old nun already had the body of an eighteen or nineteen-year-old girl. Her appearance was also extremely good-looking, and even her blinking was extremely seductive.
This…
Fang Jun quickly averted his gaze.
He had a wife. She could not look at such a charming woman. She definitely could not look at her.
When Song Lu heard Chen Sheng's words, she covered her face and smiled. This smile actually mesmerized all the bailiffs and bailiffs in the court.
The truffle said in a tender but coquettish voice,"Milord, don't be surprised. When this poor nun was nine years old, I contracted a strange disease. This year, I'm already twenty-three years old.”
Fang Jun nodded and smiled, he couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
This woman was truly seductive.
"Cough cough! Alright! Keep your infatuated expressions away.”Fang Jun slapped the gavel and said with a serious face.
Everyone was woken up by the gavel.
"Zhu Si, Su Lu, Chen Lusheng said that on the afternoon of seven days ago, you saw a female devotee enter Shun Yi Nunnery. Is this true?"”
Zhu Si looked at Chen Lusheng and then at the truffle. For a moment, the court was silent.
Miao Cong just looked at those people. She could now see clearly that those people were in cahoots. They were working together to kill her.
However, Fang Jun didn't have Miao Cong's sharp gaze. Seeing that Zhu Si and Su Lu didn't speak, he slammed the gavel on the table again.
"This official is asking you a question. Why are you looking around? Are you looking down on this official?”
Zhu Si hurriedly cupped his hands." To answer your question, sir, I did see a visitor enter Shun Yi Nunnery seven days ago. However, that visitor should be a man. Why did you say it was a woman?"”
Fang Jun raised his eyebrows when he heard this. He had initially wanted to trick them, so he had deliberately called the male visitor a female visitor. He wanted to see what Zhu Si and Su Lu would say.
Now…he seemed to have understood something.
Therefore, it didn't matter what Song Lu said. Fang Jun already had a rough idea of the truth of the case.
However, he was curious. There was still some distance between the two nunnery and the village where the residents of Alley Hill lived. Chen Lusheng also mentioned that Zhu Si was the one who weaved the cloth, so where did Zhu Si weave the cloth?
"Zhu Si, what do you do for a living?”
Zhu Si subconsciously glanced at Chen Lusheng.""Replying to Milord, I make a living by weaving. I am currently living in the gatehouse of the Feng Hui Chi Nunnery, where there is a loom.
Because Wisdom Pool Nunnery and Shunyi Nunnery were opposite each other, he saw it clearly when he was weaving that day. It was about afternoon when he saw Jiangnan merchant Zhang Bozhong enter Shunyi Nunnery.
Because I was busy with my work, I weaved until late at night, but I didn't see Zhang Bozhong walk out of the Ruyi Nunnery's gate. The next day, I found Zhang Lianbo's body in the river. Sir, this Master Miao Cong…"
He stopped talking.
"Your Excellency, please be wise. Shunyi Nunnery and Huichi Nunnery are neighbors. They go out to beg for alms and never walk together.”
"People say that people of the same trade are enemies, and monks are no exception. The benefactors of each family never tell each other, so they rarely interact. That day, due to the lack of incense, he was chatting with the weaver Zhu Si at the entrance of the nunnery, so he saw Zhang Bozhong enter the Ruyi nunnery. Later, the corpse was thrown into the river.”
Fang Jun smiled faintly as he listened.
It seemed that the murderer was someone else.
Zhu Si was weaving in the gatehouse of Huichi Nunnery, and Su Lu had been chatting with Zhu Si. It was reasonable for him to know that the corpse was abandoned at the Wei River, but how did he know the identity of the merchant? Zhu Si knew that it was from Jiangnan?
Heh.
Fang Jun laughed coldly in his heart. It seemed that the relationship between these people was not simple.
Almost everything Zhu Si said matched Chen Lusheng's words, and whatever Zhu Si said, Su Lu would change the way she described it.
Even though they had said everything flawlessly and pointed the spearhead at Miao Cong, it was still very suspicious when the witnesses were too unified in their testimony.
However, Fang Jun didn't intend to question how they knew the identity of the deceased. Instead, he slammed the table and pointed at the truffle.
"How can the bright and clear world tolerate someone like you who doesn't abide by the rules! Where is a nunnery? Why can men weave in your nunnery? If he didn't make it clear, he would definitely be severely punished!”
Truffle was shocked. Seeing that Fang Jun was angry, she quickly explained,
"Your Excellency, you may not know this, but this poor nun's nunnery is relatively far away from inhabited areas. There are often gentlemen who come to visit. It is not scary to steal some items, but there are only me and my disciple in this nunnery. We are also considered women. If we are forced to lose our virginity by those thieves, wouldn't it be a stain on Buddhism?”
Therefore, he invited the weaver Zhu Si to set up a loom in the gatehouse to weave. Firstly, it was to allow Zhu Si to have a place to work, and secondly, to open the door for the poor nun to guard the courtyard.”
Fang Jun raised his eyebrows again,"If that's the case, then Zhu Si has been staying in your nunnery day and night?" Doesn't he have a wife?"
" Since it's a night watch," Su Lu explained," of course, he lives in the nunnery day and night. Fortunately, Zhu Si has never married, so he has no children or property. He only lives by weaving."”
"This poor nun allowed him to live here. In fact, it was also to provide him with a place to settle down. It could also be considered as a manifestation of the great will of Buddha's compassion.”
Fang Jun nodded in understanding.
But Su Lu said that the master and disciple were afraid of thieves losing their virginity, so wouldn't the nuns of Shun Yi Nunnery be afraid? Based on what he knew, why was there only Miao Cong and his disciple in Shun Yi Nunnery?
However, at this point, there was no point in continuing the interrogation, so Fang Jun ordered people to detain Miao Cong and the rest to go back.
However, before Chen Lusheng could step out of the county office, he was dragged back to prison by the constables.
