Zhang Baiyi has been extremely busy these days. He first went to the palace to report the situation to Xuanyuan Hao.
Xuanyuan Hao issued an edict to all county governments and ordered the Ministry of Revenue to assist in the event.
Zhang Baiyi first settled the abbess of Yunlan Temple, and then sent people to Tianyuan Temple and Lingtai Temple to inform them, inviting the monks and nuns of the three temples who were proficient in the art of the five elements to come down the mountain.
Two houses were found as temporary residences for the monks and nuns after they came down the mountain.
We also ask the Ministry of Revenue and the abbess of Yunlan Temple to sort all the amnesiacs in Kyoto by family size for future use.
After all the monks and nuns from Tianyuan Temple, Lingtai Temple and Yunlan Temple arrived, he assigned everyone their tasks together with the presiding abbot, the presiding nun and the Ministry of Revenue.
Prior to this, a memorial was submitted to the Ministry of Revenue regarding issues related to amnesia, which included detailed explanations, precautions, and guidelines for handling. It was sent down in the name of the Ministry of Revenue and with Xuanyuan Hao's order.
While dealing with these matters, thinking that Luo Yunyan was still in Yunlan Temple, he called the four expressionless people and sent two people to pick her up. He said, "Only one person is enough. Miss Luo has extraordinary abilities and is not comparable to ordinary people." After saying that, he glanced at Zhang Baiyi.
Zhang Baiyi: ...What do you mean?
Thinking of the glittering Luo Yunyan, he couldn't help but feel proud: "My wife... Miss Luo is indeed extraordinary... Then I'll take a few more guards with me."
Meanwhile, Luo Yunyan was listening to the nun in the temple talking about the experience of a little girl who came to Yunlan Temple to become a nun.
The little girl's surname was Lu, and her name was Lu Yinbao. Although her family was a farming family, they lived comfortably. Her parents loved their daughter very much.
Lu Yinbao has an older brother and a younger brother. The older brother is called Lu Jinbao and the younger brother is called Lu Yuanbao.
On weekdays, when the family eats eggs, Lu Yinbao and his older brother and younger brother have one.
If the family bought cloth to make new clothes, there would definitely be a set made by Lu Yinbao.
When his older and younger brothers went to school, Lu Yinbao also wanted to go. After telling his parents, his parents gritted their teeth and provided for another child.
In short, compared with many girls of the same age, Lu Yinbao is a very happy girl.
But when their village was hit by a mountain torrent and a mudslide destroyed their homes, things changed. The village invited a Taoist priest to exorcise the demons in their village. The villagers believed the Taoist priest's words and decided to execute a girl named Xiao Lingdang because she was the devil's substitute and her execution would wash away the sins of the whole village.
The little bell, who was to be executed, was an ordinary girl. She and Lu Yinbao were good friends. In Lu Yinbao's opinion, it was nonsense for the villagers to say that her good friend was a substitute for the devil for no reason.
She couldn't bear to watch Xiao Lingling die, so the night before the ritual, she sneaked into the ancestral hall where her best friend was imprisoned.
She let the little bell go, but it brought disaster upon herself.
The immortal master then said that she was doomed to fail and was not a lucky person. If she stayed in the village, it would sooner or later bring disaster to the villagers. For example, this time she let the devil's substitute go, which brought disaster to the entire village.
In this way, Lu Yinbao was sent to become a nun. In that temple, Lu Yinbao lived a very miserable life. She was discovered by a passing abbess from Yunlan Temple and was taken back to Yunlan Temple.
Although Lu Yinbao's life in Yunlan Temple was much better, she did not want to become a nun and had no interest in studying Buddhism, so she often secretly found a place to hide and sleep in while everyone in the temple was doing morning prayers.
Lu Yinbao's parents also came to find her after she came to Yunlan Temple, but they did not dare to take Lu Yinbao back to the village to live. They just came to see their daughter.
But one time, after they had seen their daughter, Lu Yinbao disappeared. Everyone in Yunlan Temple thought that they had secretly taken their daughter away, until Lu Yinbao's parents came to the temple again, saying they were there to visit their daughter, but the temple could no longer produce a daughter.
A missing case that both sides suspected, because Lu Yinbao disappeared without a trace, and no corpse was found, both sides were suspicious.
But Lu Yinbao's body was discovered a while ago.
A family's farm was to be renovated and rebuilt. Two days after the groundbreaking ceremony, a corpse was dug up. Because it had been so long, the flesh had rotted away and only the bones remained.
The right wrist bone of this complete skeleton was wearing a small Buddhist rosary and a small bell, and her name "Lu Yinbao" was engraved on the Buddhist rosary.
This Buddhist rosary was a gift from a nun from Yunlan Temple who came back from her travels to the temple as a gift to the young disciples. There are more than 20 young nuns who have one.
The coroner examined the bones and confirmed that they were those of a young woman. Her cervical vertebrae were broken and the cause of death was presumed to be suffocation.
Based on this name, the authorities eventually found Lu Yinbao's parents. Upon hearing the news, his parents burst into tears, collected the remains and buried them, then took the Buddhist beads to Yunlan Temple to seek an explanation.
The acting abbot of Yunlan Temple felt puzzled. The person didn't die in the temple, so why didn't her parents cause trouble for the owner of the manor?
When did Lu Yinbao leave the temple? Was he dead or alive when he left? How did the murderer escape with the body and get down the mountain path without being discovered?
The reason her parents didn't bother the village owner was because he had reported the case to the police. In her parents' view, anyone who dared to report the case wasn't a murderer.
Luo Yunyan inexplicably thought of the little nun she had rescued in the illusion. If she had not appeared, the little nun would have been strangled to death.
When I thought about it this way, a flash of lightning flashed through my mind: could it be that in reality, this little monk was really killed?
Since the family who dug up the bones has reported it to the authorities and the identity of the deceased has been confirmed, the Jingzhao Yin will definitely investigate the case.
Just then, Zhang Baiyi sent someone with facial paralysis and several guards to pick her up. Luo Yunyan went to Jingzhao Yin under their escort.
Although what Luo Yunyan described was something that happened in a fantasy world and sounded too mysterious, the matter of amnesia has now spread like wildfire in the streets and alleys.
Since Jingzhao Yin was in the officialdom, he had also heard about Tianyuan Temple, Luo Yunyan and other officials going to break the soul-sucking formation. Anyway, there was no clue in the case now. Luo Yunyan had seen the suspected murderer, so she asked the constable painter to draw the man's appearance based on Luo Yunyan's description.
The man's portrait was plastered all over the streets and alleys, and the Jingzhao Yin also sent his portrait to the gates of government offices throughout the territory.
Three months later, the murderer was apprehended at the Anping County government office. Over twenty years later, he now had a wife and children, and was living a peaceful life. When he saw the detectives charging toward him, he could only mutter, "This day has finally arrived."
After being arrested, he quickly confessed that he was the concubine of the Marquis of Yongding and had hired a killer to kill someone. He went to Yunlan Temple to identify the person according to the concubine's request, and secretly identified the wife of the Marquis of Yongding and his legitimate children.
Unexpectedly, his conversation with the concubine was overheard by a little nun. When he killed the witness, the concubine's eldest son also came to help.
