The incident of the innocent soul seeking the life of Monk Guiming made the whole capital feel like a festival. However, the "child scholar" was missing a piece of his hair and refused to go out to meet people. He stayed in Liu's Timber Store every day, wishing he could destroy the seedlings and encourage others.

Jia Cong and Jia Huan were reading at midnight. Every time they saw him laughing, Liu Xianglian got tired of laughing and scolded her: "Kick you out if you laugh again! That's a bad idea." The two of them tolerated it.

Zhu Tongnai asked: "If you are the staff of the wise king, how should you deal with this matter?"

Gong Kun said: "Just come up with a few romantic stories. The oiran married the oil seller, the young mistress eloped with the groom, the King of Lu and the King of Chen fought for a fan... Everyone in Guanbao Capital forgot something in the blink of an eye.

Monk."

Jarvis said: "Composing plans is not my specialty. I just listen to a few gentlemen."

Liu Xianglian said: "Composing plans is not my specialty. I just listen to a few gentlemen and my wife."

Jia Huan said: "Leave it there and don't care. Anyway, the cause of this matter is just a few idle people in the market. They don't dare to go against the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division and talk about the virtuous king."

Jia Cong said: "It's obvious that someone is instigating this matter. Find out the instigator. Anyway, it's not me who is going to investigate, Gong Yizhi is going to do it."

Finally, everyone looked at Qin Keqing. Qin Keqing reached out to Liu Xianglian and asked for tea, took a few sips, and said calmly: "I am a pregnant woman, and even a wise king cannot order a pregnant woman to think about it." Everyone suddenly felt bored.

Liu Xianglian said: "Mr. Zhu, looking at it this way, Situ Pan may not kill Gui Ming."

Zhu Tong said: "If the Supreme Emperor is still here, he will definitely advise not to kill Gui Ming and think of other ways. What you just said, Feng Ziying and others can think of it, and so can Situ Pan himself. But today is different from the past.

He will die and return to the light of day."

Jia Huan asked: "Why?"

Zhu Tong smiled calmly: "Because the kings are in the capital, and because Situ Pan is already the master. The master's face is more important than the life of an ordinary subordinate."

Jia Cong said: "Can I have any dignity by killing Gui Ming? Is there any dignity in being forced to kill one of my subordinates by a group of idle people?"

Zhu Tong raised his eyebrows and said: "Who told you that Gui Ming is a subordinate of the virtuous king? Gui Ming is an evil monk who even kills babies! Why don't you see Cao Cao beheading the king?"

Before he finished speaking, someone came in from outside and replied: "Masters! There was a message posted on the street. Two police officers accidentally let it slip. Because Gui Ming died under strange circumstances, I'm afraid there's something wrong with the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division. In order to

He did not allow anyone to disturb his body, pretending that it had been burned. In fact, Guiming's coffin had already been returned to Tianqi Temple."

Zhu Tong sneered: "What did I just say?"

Jia Cong was stunned for a moment, then stood up and said, "Brother Feng must not be very happy right now. I'll go and see him."

Liu Xianglian said: "I'll go too."

Jia Huan also stood up and asked Jarvis to hold him back: "Let's not go. Once Gui Ming dies, what's going to happen if the three Jia all go to Feng Ziying's house? Brother Liu will go later."

You have to settle down in the shop, how can you be as impatient as Cong'er and run away when he hears the excitement?"

Everyone agreed, so Jia Cong took the lead and got on his horse.

When they arrived at Feng Mansion, Feng Ziying was shooting arrows from behind. Jia Cong didn't bother him, just stood beside him and watched him quietly. After a long time, Liu Xianglian also came, and she and Jia Cong stood together and watched him shoot arrows.

Exhausted, Feng Ziying put down her bow and wiped her sweat: "Drink!" The three of them drank heavily in the garden and sang songs. Jia Cong roared a song by Chen Shuhua's "Laughing in the Red Dust" at the top of his lungs, and then another one came.

Liu Huan's song of a hero ended with a loud laugh. The three of them were all drunk. Liu Xianglian and Jia Cong were moved to the guest room of the Feng family and slept until they snored loudly until the two families sent people to look for them and dragged them back in a carriage.

.

On the other side, Zhu Tong changed into the clothes of a waiter, put on a bamboo hat and prepared to go out. Before leaving, he went to Qin Keqing to say something.

Qin Keqing happened to be holding the girl in circles in the courtyard. When he saw her, he frowned and said, "What are you doing?"

Zhu Tong clenched his fists and said, "Those idle leaders who are making trouble should probably go to Tianqi Temple to open the coffin and conduct an autopsy. I want to see how the monk died."

Qin Keqing said: "Wear the clothes you wore last time and a soft hat."

Zhu Tong was stunned.

Qin Keqing said: "I know better than you who Sangu Qin is, so I will be suspicious of you. Either you don't go, or if you want to go, go and cover it up, and be careful not to show any flaws on your face."

Zhu Tong hurriedly responded and ran back to change clothes.

When he arrived at the entrance of Tianqi Temple, it turned out that the crowd was full of people. He just wanted to watch the excitement and poked his head into the crowd. Since he couldn't squeeze in, he simply crawled in from below.

I saw Wang Yitie standing at the door of the temple, cupping his hands and saying: "Everyone, as the saying goes, every injustice has its own debtor. Even if Gui Ming had sinned during his lifetime, he offset it with his death, so why disturb the peace of the dead."

Several idle men shook their fists and said, "Who knows if it's that dog official who made a fake corpse to fool the people?" Everyone responded in unison. Wang Yitie saluted repeatedly and asked them not to do anything wrong. Who would listen to him?

The hooting was getting louder and louder, and finally someone couldn't wait, so they pushed Wang Tie away and rushed in.

After passing the mountain gate, I saw a coffin in the Heavenly King's Hall, with more than a dozen monks chanting sutras and performing rituals. The idlers rushed forward and knocked away the blocking monks to surround the coffin. Someone shouted from behind, "Open the coffin and conduct an autopsy—

—" The crowd shouted in confusion, "Open the coffin and conduct an autopsy..." The leading idle man's eyes were shining brightly. He rolled up his sleeves and let out a howl. He stepped forward and lifted the lid of the coffin with both hands. The coffin was just a thin board coffin bought in a hurry.

Very quickly, the idle man opened it with a little effort. Everyone rushed around to take a look - it turned out to be Gui Ming lying inside, with a black complexion, still wearing his patched monk's robe. Look.

It was as lively as if he had won a lot of money at the gambling table, shouting at the top of his lungs, "The evil monk is dead! The evil monk is dead! The wronged soul has taken revenge!" It was even more cheerful than the Chinese New Year.

Zhu Tong had been hiding in the crowd pretending to be a part of the fun. When he first saw the face of his enemy, thousands of thoughts surged into his heart. Thinking of his father's tragic death, he almost shed tears. After staring blankly for a long time, he lowered his head and closed his eyes for a moment, then turned around.

He squeezed out with all his strength.

As soon as he left the palace gate, two men who looked like waiters came forward and stopped him and asked, "Are you Tong Xiucai?"

Zhu Tong secretly said "Not good" in his heart, but his face was just confused and he held up his hands: "It's just a student. Do you dare to ask the two brothers if something is wrong?"

The two men said, "Our boss has invited a scholar." After saying this, they took him to the left and the other and walked away.

Zhu Tong hurriedly shouted: "What are you doing! The sky is clear and the sky is bright, are you trying to rob me?" The idle men were cheering and celebrating around Gui Ming's coffin. The noise was so loud that his voice was muffled and no one heard him. Zhu Tong

I struggled all the way, but the scholar was no match for me at all and was held hostage to death.

Walking into the Shanmen Hall at the front, a man in his thirties walked over with his hands behind his back. His clothes looked like he belonged to a wealthy family, and the boots he wore were combat boots. He was tall and muscular, with piercing eyes. He was clearly a practitioner.

Jiazi. Zhu Tong's eyes lit up and he shouted even louder.

Sure enough, the man stepped forward, blocked their way and asked, "What's the matter?"

Zhu Tong shouted: "General, help! These two gangsters want to kidnap Wansheng!"

The man asked the two waiters: "Who are you?"

The waiter shouted: "Mind your own business! This scholar owes a debt to our employer and has been refusing to pay it back for more than half a year! We caught him with great difficulty. We are determined not to let him escape."

Zhu Tong shouted loudly: "I don't know them at all! How can I owe their employer a debt? Scholars are diligent and thrifty and never borrow money from others! Confucius said, if you eat sparingly, drink water, and bend your arms to rest on your head, you will also have fun.

Among them..."

The man waved his hand and said: "Don't drop your book bag, I sound annoyed."

Zhu Tong shut up immediately.

The man then said to the clerk: "Even if there is any financial dispute, you should go to the government to file a lawsuit. How can you arrest someone and take him away in front of the Buddha?"

The waiter said: "My lord, each of you sweep the snow in front of your door, and don't worry about the frost on other people's tiles, so as not to get into trouble." He ignored him, held Zhu Tong in his arms and tried to walk around him. Zhu Tong started yelling again.

The man sneered: "Why am I so nosy?" Before he could finish his words, he struck out like lightning. After hearing two "ouch"s, the two guys fell to the ground.

Zhu Tong immediately jumped up behind the man and held up his hands: "Thank you so much, General, for saving me! I will definitely repay you if I am named on the gold medal list in the future."

The man turned his head and glanced at him: "You are young. Once you study, you will study hard. Don't talk about trivial things." After saying this, he lowered his head and looked at the two waiters, and said "disappointment" in his mouth.

Turn around and leave.

Zhu Tong hurriedly followed him: "Where are you going, general? Thanks to the general's help, how about treating him to a drink in the evening?"

The man waved his hand and said, "It's just a trivial matter."

"Although I am poorer when I am born later, I still have enough money for drinks."

The two of them were talking and walking away. Suddenly, with a sudden "whoosh", a figure came from behind and kicked the man in the back of the head. The man spoke to Zhu Tong and dodged away.

Behind him stands a beautiful woman, dressed in blue and wearing a wooden hairpin, looking cool and majestic.

Zhu Tong shouted out loud: "Master Qin!"

The man's eyebrows moved: "Do you know her?"

Zhu Tong said hurriedly: "I came across this temple a few days ago. This woman is Qin Sangu, a tyrant in the west of the city. She is a young widow~~"

The man frowned even more: "The widow actually became a tyrant and even robbed men in the temple."

Qin Sangu clasped her fists and said: "General, this little girl has something important to do with this scholar. I hope the general will not interfere."

The man sneered and said, "Why should I care?"

Zhu Tong had already hidden behind him and waved his arm: "The general is a good man!"

Seeing the man's expression, Qin Sangu knew that it would be impossible if he didn't fight today. So she didn't waste any more words and gave another salute. The man pointed to the side, and Zhu Tong hurriedly ducked behind the pillar. He then hugged her.

Zhuzhu turned around and saw that the two men were already fighting. Hearing the sound of the wind, he was dazzled and didn't know who had the upper hand.

This is the mountain gate, and you can leave the temple outside. However, Zhu Tong did not dare to run around. I was afraid that there were others under Qin Sangu's men guarding the outside, so he hid behind the pillar and shouted loudly, "The general fought well, the general fought well!"

"Actually, he couldn't see clearly how they were being beaten.

Suddenly, he heard someone singing a ditty outside the door. The voice was weird and unpleasant: "I love you, I love you, just like a mouse loves rice..." Zhu Tong almost stopped laughing! This was not a tune that Jia Cong usually hummed randomly.

Huh? He immediately guessed that this general was one of his own, and he didn't care about his face. When the two generals were about to hit him, he turned around and ran to the next pillar. He hugged the pillar and took another look. The door was close.

He was so close that he ran out.

I saw a short man dressed as a waiter holding two horses waiting outside the temple. Although the waiter had two beards, you could tell that she was a woman, but her eyebrows were thick and the corners of her eyes were droopy, which made her a bit ugly. She shouted softly, "Let's go quickly."

", took the lead to get on his horse. Zhu Tong hurriedly followed and got on his horse, his eyes slipped to the woman's hand: the hands were as dark as her face and neck.
