Zhong Zhiqing stood on the wooden bridge in his yard, looked at the man in black under the bridge with his hands behind his back, and frowned and asked, "After checking for so long, there is still no information from those five people. Are your people checking it carefully?"

The man in black bowed his head and bowed and said, "Sir, it was cloudy and the night was very dark. After the five people recited the burning tomb sacrifice text in front of the tomb of the former emperor, they quickly left. When the soldiers guarding the tomb arrived, they only saw a piece of white flowers. They chased for two miles, but they didn't even see the figure, so" he stammered, not knowing how to continue.

Zhong Zhiqing glanced at him sideways and angrily scolded, "This is what you said last time you came back, and this time it's the same. Since that's the case, what are you going to report to when you come back again and again?"

The man in black lowered his body down a little again and said softly, "Sir, although we can't find clues from the guards who are watching, we learned something from a villager who lives nearby."

Zhong Zhiqing raised his head, and a light flashed in his eyes, "Speak quickly."

"The villager once saw a man riding a horse and running out of the trees that night, but the horse ran too fast, and the night was dark, so he had never seen the man clearly. However, after a little repeated inquiries, he finally remembered some details. He said that the man was wearing a piece of jade on his waist, which was very rare, and even in the dark night, he could emit a colorful halo."

Zhong Zhiqing looked at him intently, "Yu?"

After saying this, he stopped talking, looked at the full moon in the sky with his hands behind his back, and fell into deep thought. After half a stick of incense, the man in black finally couldn't help it and whispered, "Sir?"

Zhong Zhiqing came to his senses, suddenly smiled "haha" and slapped his hands, "Okay, okay, you've handled it well this time, but you have to continue investigating this case, and use this stone as a clue to check all the officials in the court."

The man in black was stunned, "Sir, the little one doesn't quite understand. Just a piece of jade. There are so many officials wearing jade in the court. Where should we start?"

Zhong Zhiqing snorted coldly, "Do you think this is an ordinary piece of jade? The jade itself does not shine, nor does it absorb moonlight. This stone that can emit colorful halos in the dark night is called red-eyed obsidian, which is rare in the world, so it should not be difficult for people wearing this stone to check."

The man in black suddenly realized, nodded and fisted, "I will go and check it now, and I will never let down the entrustedness of the entrusted entrusted by the entrusted entrusted by the entrusted entrusted entrusted entrusted entrusted entrusted entrusted entrusted entrusted entrusted entrusted entrusted entrusted entrusted entrusted entrusted entrusted entrusted entrusted entrusted entrusted entrusted entrusted entrusted entrusted entrusted entrusted entrusted entrusted entrusted entrusted entrusted entrusted entrusted entrusted entrusted entrusted entrusted entrusted entrusted entrusted entrusted entrusted entrusted entrusted entrusted entrusted entrusted entrusted

Zhong Zhiqing waved his hand, "No, I went to Xin'an just to dock the salt ship. When I got there, there was naturally someone to take over. Your most important task now is to find out the five people who have been worshipped for ten years. The emperor is extremely concerned about this case. If I asked me to find these people out, the emperor would definitely be very happy."

There have always been shops on both sides of the canal, with thousands of lights and loud music. However, today, both shops and brothels have turned off the lights early, and some have not even opened the door to welcome guests. They only leave a row of black silhouettes on both sides of the canal.

The shore was lively, but there was a bit of weirdness in it, because one or two heart-wrenching cries came from the crowded voices, which sounded instantly cunning.

Jiang Xixi looked at the rows of incense ignited in front and the vast figures reflected in the river, and suddenly felt sad in her heart. So she quietly stood against Cheng Muyou beside her and said, "Sir, there must be thousands of people in this sacrifice. Did the fire burn so many people to death?"

Cheng Muyou did not look at her. He stared at the crowd of people celebrating and said solemnly, "Sixteen years ago today, more than a thousand people were killed on this prosperous canal. And until now, the suspects have not been caught, and the dead cannot rest in peace, so their relatives come here to worship from all over the place at this time of year."

Jiang Xixi sighed, "It's so miserable. So many people are separated from their relatives by a fire." Then he thought about it, and in connection with his own life experience, he continued, "Sir, I sometimes think that when people come to this world, they are suffering. Since that's the case, it's better not to be a human being. Look at those cats and dogs, they have no worries every day and live happily. However, we don't know how much suffering we have to endure in our lifetime, parting and life and death. In the next life, I will never want to be a human being again. It's better to be a lazy cat, sleep on the eaves every day, watch others' separations in life and death, eat when hungry, sleep when tired, and never get involved in this vast world."

Cheng Muyou knew that she was depressed these days, so she said such despairing words. Just as she was about to comfort her, she suddenly heard a familiar voice coming from behind her, "Miss Jiang has realized that the Buddha said: People are in the world, in love and desire, live and die alone, go and come alone. When you walk to the land of fun, suffering and happiness, you will take care of it, and there is no generation. The girl can understand this path at a young age, which is gratifying."

Cheng Muyou and Jiang Xixi turned around at the same time and saw Yan Niang standing behind them, but their eyes penetrated them into the crowd of sacrificial sacrifices in front of them, full of mourning.

Jiang Xixi walked towards her and asked with anticipation, "Miss Yan, has the Buddha ever said these solutions to suffering?"

Yan Niang's eyes remained motionless, but her eyes narrowed slightly, "Of course he said that the root of suffering is ignorance, and all pain comes from delusions and attachments, and it is desire that causes our suffering. Therefore, suffering can only be relieved through the cessation of desire. Stop is the cessation of delusions, and respite is the cessation of delusions."

Jiang Xixi was stunned, "What Buddha meant is that as long as we have no desires and no desires, we will not suffer any more?"

Yan Niang finally took her eyes back from the crowd. She looked at Jiang Xixi and nodded slightly, "The girl has a good experience, but from my opinion, these words are extremely empty. As long as a person is alive, his heart cannot remain unmoved. It is just a deception to force the elimination of delusions."

"How can Miss Yan get rid of the pain?" Cheng Muyou suddenly interrupted. He looked at Yan Niang's eyes that were brighter than the stars. For some reason, a heart suddenly floated and frightened, and could not find a place to stay.

Yan Niang pulled a cold smile from the corner of her mouth and gently pointed her finger forward, "Sir, why are these people commemorate here year after year?"

"It is human nature to bury relatives in the river, burn incense and sacrifice."

Yan Niang smiled again, "But the court sends officials to supervise the entire process every year. Why is that?"
