This Jinyiwei is obviously super strong, but he overdoes it. Chapter 487: The Grass Snake Gray Line
The moon was dark and the wind was high, and there was a strong wind in the small temple. The old doors and windows made creaking sounds from time to time. Deng Wanshui sat in front of the flickering candlelight, his eyes lost in thought.
Squeak - the door behind him was slowly pushed open. Deng Wanshui was startled and pulled out his sword tremblingly: "Who is it?!"
"Alms, donor! It's the young monk! The abbot asked me to bring some fasting meals to you." The young monk was so frightened by the other party's reaction that he almost dropped the fasting meal he was holding.
Fortunately, Shi Suxue came forward in time to take over the meal: "Thank you so much, little master."
The young monk didn't even dare to say anything. He bowed and immediately left as if running for his life. Shi Suxue sighed softly, put the food on the table, looked at Deng Wanshui and said, "Young master Deng, don't be so nervous. The officers and soldiers are all moving toward you."
Search west, we are safe at the moment."
"I know." Deng Wanshui tried his best to appear calm, but even Shuang'er could see that he was pretending to be calm.
The abbot of Jinshui Temple was obviously frightened in the morning, and he did not dare to neglect now. Not only did he prepare rooms for several people, but he also served vegetarian meals.
"Amitabha."
The old abbot was alone in his room, reciting Buddhist scriptures and knocking on wooden fish. The young monk came in quietly and said, "Master, the meal has been delivered."
Hearing this, the old abbot stopped his movements, nodded and asked, "Okay, are those people giving you any trouble?"
"No," the young monk hesitated and said, "Although that young master is a bit unhuman, those two girls do understand the truth."
"Amitabha," the old monk recited the Buddhist verse again, and said with concern, "I hope they don't cause trouble. Our small temple really can't withstand the storm."
The master and apprentice, one senior and one junior, were sighing when a voice came from outside the house: "Is Master Lingyuan here?"
Hearing the strange woman's call, the young monk was stunned: "Master, someone is looking for you."
The old abbot was also confused. When he went out, he saw the two girls next door also coming out. At that time, Suxue said: "I heard someone calling in the courtyard, come out and have a look."
In fact, the slightest disturbance made Deng Wanshui panic. In order to appease him, Shi Suxue and Shuang'er had no choice but to come out to see the situation.
"Amitabha, I'm disturbing all the donors."
The old abbot bowed to the two of them, then went to the outer courtyard and saw the visitor, who was also a girl. He couldn't help but curiously asked: "I don't know why this donor is here?"
Shi Suxue and Shuang'er were even more surprised because the person who came was none other than their senior sister Pei Xia.
Pei Xia was also surprised to see the two of them. She was entrusted by Aunt Wang from the handkerchief shop to come to Jinshui Temple to give some monk robes. According to Aunt Wang, Jinshui Temple was deserted and the two masters were living in poverty.
She had also come here to burn incense and pray to the Buddha, so she thought of giving some clothes as a fulfillment of her wish.
During the day, Pei Xia used the handkerchief shop as an excuse to stop Ji Qianli. To ensure that nothing went wrong, she later went to the shop again and happened to meet Aunt Wang who had entrusted her with the matter, so she came forward at this time.
Come.
Seeing the two junior sisters hiding here, she remained silent for a moment, pretending not to know each other, handed the package in her hand to the abbot, and said: "Master Lingyuan, this is what Aunt Wang from Beicheng Pazi Shop asked me to bring."
These are all clothes for daily wear, please accept them."
"It turns out it was a gift from Donor Wang, and I am very grateful." The old abbot suddenly understood, and then invited Pei Xia into the temple: "Donor, you have worked hard all the way, please come in and drink some tea."
Pei Xia glanced vaguely at the two silent junior sisters beside her, shook her head and refused. She said: "Master Lingyuan's kindness is appreciated, but it's getting late and I can't stay long, so I'm leaving."
"Amitabha, please go slowly." The old abbot sent Pei Xia outside the temple. After watching her leave, he turned around and took the package back to the wing.
Seeing this situation, Shi Suxue didn't feel anything wrong. On the contrary, Shuang'er found it difficult to accept it. Pei Xia didn't say a word to them when they met, pretending that they didn't know each other, which hurt her a little.
"Let's go back." Shi Suxue took Shuang'er and returned to the wing. Deng Wanshui never left his hand with his sword. When he saw the two of them returned safely, he reluctantly felt relieved.
What no one knew was that in Liu Laosan's home where several people had hid, there was loud crying at the moment. The woman Liu was holding her husband's body and shedding tears, and the two ignorant children were also wailing.
"Ms. Liu, you have committed a sin." The head of the house wanted to say a few words of comfort, but he didn't know how to say it.
At first Liu Laosan took in the imperial convicts and his party, but later the Jinyi Guards investigated this place. In order to save his family, he confessed this information. He thought that the matter would end here, but who would have thought that the Jianghu guest would come back again.
During the day today, Deng Wanshui suddenly rushed into Liu Laosan's home and angrily scolded him for not distinguishing between right and wrong, abandoning the bright and secret to become a lackey of the court, and actually dared to betray them.
Liu Laosan saw that he was so murderous, so he naturally kowtowed and apologized, saying that he still had a family to take care of, so he had no choice but to ask Deng Wanshui to spare him this time because of their old friendship.
But Deng Wanshui refused and drew his sword and killed him in front of his wife, Mrs. Liu. Mrs. Liu was so frightened that she fainted.
Deng Wanshui did not attack the Liu family. After killing Liu Laosan, he escaped quietly. Later, he accidentally bumped into the two children of the Liu family. He was worried about being exposed, so he threw the two children into a dry well.
Therefore, when the Liu family protected the imperial convicts, other people in the village walked around them. For a while, no one knew what was happening here. It wasn't until someone passed by the dry well and heard a child crying that they realized something was wrong.
Deng Wanshui acted recklessly in panic. One of the two children he threw into the well broke his hand and the other broke his head. When they were rescued by the villagers, they had already missed the best time for treatment and may have sequelae in the future.
.
At first, the villagers thought the child was playful, but when they took the child back to Liu's house, they found that Liu Laosan's body was completely cold. They woke Liu up, but the successive blows almost caused her to faint again.
.
After struggling for a long time, Mrs. Liu finally accepted the fact that her husband was killed and her two children were also in trouble. Now the villagers have helped collect Liu Laosan's body, but everyone has different opinions on whether to report it to the police or not.
view.
One of the aunts said: "Liu family, listen to me, your man died miserably, but you still have children to take care of. People in the world are cruel. If you report it to the official, what if he does it again?"
What should I do?"
Another man immediately objected: "How can my sister-in-law speak like this? Did Brother Liu die in vain?"
Although Liu Laosan was not clear-headed and had a relationship with the imperial convicts, he grew up in the same village as them. Everyone was very sad when such tragic things happened to his family.
Seeing everyone talking to each other with different attitudes, the head of the village was also in trouble. He said to Mrs. Liu: "Ms. Liu, in this situation, you should make your own decision. If you want to report to the official, I will work with you."
Go to the Yamen and explain the situation. If you don't report it, then everyone will be ready to take care of Liu Laosan's funeral affairs first."
Mrs. Liu couldn't help crying, but she still made up her mind: "I want to report to the official! That man named Deng is so heart-broken. Even if I die, I can't make him feel better!"
"Well, since Mrs. Liu you have made your decision, let's go." The head of the village nodded and asked someone to bring the ox cart, and the group prepared to go to Beijing to report to the official.
That night they went to the local government office. After explaining the situation clearly, the county magistrate did not dare to be careless. He did not dare to take action on his own because it was related to a big crime committed by the imperial court, so he immediately reported it to Shuntian Mansion.
When Shuntian Mansion received the news, they did not dare to act privately. After all, it was related to Jinyiwei, so the matter was transferred to Beizhen Fusi.
So the Jin Yiwei were furious and they searched westward along the road until they almost reached the bottom of Hengshan Mountain. As a result, these people actually played tricks under the lamp and hid in the capital. They were even so arrogant that they dared to show up under their noses.
kill.
Cui Yixiao immediately became angry and recalled all brothers who were out. At the same time, he notified Shuntian Mansion and conducted a large-scale search for people.
