It is said that when the Rongguo Mansion returned to the city from Tiekang Temple, Lin Daiyu disappeared. Everyone had to go back to the house first, leaving Jia Baoyu with her while they sent people to continue the search. It's strange that Jia Cong was relieved! When they returned to the city, they went to find Shi Li.
When I arrived at the place, I saw that Shi Li was not there. Chen Ruijin climbed over the wall and opened the door. There was a piece of paper on the desk, with a chess piece "Xiang" on it. On the front and back of the chess piece were written: Accompany, let's play. Jia Cong suddenly
Head full of black lines.
Chen Ruijin laughed loudly: "It's obvious that they have already discussed it, so there is no need to worry."
Jia Cong rubbed his forehead: "Sister Lin is becoming more and more courageous. I'm afraid they will cause trouble..."
Chen Ruijin said: "If something happens to the four of them, you can hang yourself with Huntian Ling." Jia Cong rolled his eyes.
In the next few days, there was no news from these people. On the night before Jia Mu was to lift up the coffin, something happened in Tiexuan Temple. A large group of people surrounded Tiexuan Temple overnight, saying that there were thieves who broke into the temple and wanted to search. The leader
With the token of King Yan, holding a torch as bright as day, he broke down the door and entered the temple. Involuntarily, people poured in like water and searched every room carefully.
Not long after they arrived at the door of the wing where Jia Baoyu lived, the two boys who were keeping watch hurriedly shouted: "What are you doing? This is the room of Mr. Bao, the second master of Rongguo Mansion!"
The leading general hesitated for a moment and asked: "What is the second master Bao and the second master Bei, search for it!"
The boy raised his chest and said, "It's Jia Baoyu from the lower realm of Shenying's waiter!"
"Hiss..." the general hesitated again, and finally said, "I haven't heard of it, search!" He stepped over and pushed the door open. Before the two boys could stop him, he had already entered.
Because he came so suddenly, Jia Baoyu was still on the bed. He opened the curtain and asked in surprise: "What's going on?"
The boy hurriedly came in and shouted: "Second Master! I don't know what happened, but suddenly so many people came here, saying they were arresting thieves from Prince Yan's Mansion."
Baoyu said anxiously: "Don't disturb our ancestors!" He hurriedly looked for shoes. The boy hurried forward to help him put on his shoes.
The room was very simple, with only a sutra cabinet and a few scriptures on it. He glanced at it and read it all. The general bent down and looked under the bed, but it was empty. He raised his torch and looked up at the beams.
There was no sign of the thief. So he cupped his hands and said with a smile: "It seems that the thief didn't enter the house, so he was disturbed!" Then he led the people away. Jia Baoyu had already left before he had put on his shoes.
As soon as the general left, the room was dark, and the boy scolded from behind: "You daredevil! You don't even know who our master is! How dare a thief hide in this house?"
Baoyu quietly wiped away his sweat and said, "Go and see our ancestors." Then he ordered people to light candles and go to the main hall. There were many soldiers in the main hall, and they were searching the Buddha statues under the altar table. He went to offer incense and kowtow in front of Jia Mu's spirit.
So he stayed here and didn't allow anyone to disturb him.
The Tieksuan Temple was so huge that it took a long time to search, but nothing was found. The leading general couldn't help but feel worried. But just now, Jia Baoyu came again, and offered his hand to him: "General, now that you have finished searching, can you please search me?"
Please evacuate the people in front of my grandmother’s body, don’t disturb her elderly family?”
The general thought for a moment, clasped his fists and said, "You can retreat outside the palace for the time being. I'm afraid I'll have to check again when the general Shangguan comes later." Then he ordered his people to withdraw. Jia Baoyu returned to guard in front of the spirit.
Not long after, someone came outside the temple, and it was Feng Ziying. The general shook his head and said, "It's like he has wings and is flying."
Feng Ziying asked: "Have you checked the details?"
The general said: "Except for not opening the coffin of the old lady of the Jia family, the rest have been searched."
"Where is it on the rafters?"
"The beams of every house and palace were inspected, and every tree was climbed and inspected. The monks also searched."
"I know you are meticulous." Feng Ziying frowned, gritted his teeth for a long time, pulled the general aside and whispered a few words. The general was shocked. Feng Ziying sighed: "There is really nothing we can do." General.
nodded.
Feng Ziying strolled to the main hall and shouted: "Baoyu."
Baoyu was kneeling in front of the spirit. Hearing this, he quickly stood up and said, "Ziying! Why is it you? Are you here to catch a thief too?"
Feng Ziying nodded and said: "This thief stole something very important. By the way, you have been in this temple for a long time? Do all the monks recognize it?"
Baoyu said: "I recognize most of them, but not all of them."
"Come with me," Feng Ziying said, "I'm afraid there are thieves among the monks. Please help me see if there are any ungrateful ones. There are also a lot of people in your house. You should also recognize them."
Baoyu didn't dare to slack off and hurriedly followed him out. The monks in the temple had been gathered together. In addition to the few who followed Baoyu, the servants of Rongguo Mansion were also gathered together. There were also some who stayed at Tiejian Temple.
Pilgrims, laymen, and two families. This Tieyuan Temple has been keeping mourning for people in the capital. An old man from these two families has just passed away, and they are here to keep vigil. Baoyu looked at each one carefully for a long time and said: "These masters didn't look at them.
Those who are inappropriate are all here, and there are no outsiders in our house."
The host chanted a Buddha chant and said: "General Feng, just take the names of the monks from our temple and face them."
Feng Ziying's eyes were like sharp knives, and she scanned these monks and the servants of Rongguo Mansion one by one. She couldn't see any flaws, so she couldn't help but feel worried. However, the general leading the army came and shook his head at him. Feng Ziying closed his eyes.
I closed my eyes, waited for a while, and ordered to search again from the beginning.
Baoyu shrank and said, "It's a little cooler than before."
The young man who was following me hurriedly said: "I just asked you to wear the big cloak, but I didn't listen. My ancestors are going to wake up tomorrow. It's very serious that the second master is sick. Please go back and put it on quickly."
Baoyu made sense when he heard it, and said to Feng Ziying: "I will go back to the house, put on some clothes, and go to guard the ancestor's spirit."
Feng Ziying nodded: "I've disturbed the old lady, I'll go burn the incense sticks later." Naiqin led the people to search from the beginning. The people in Rongguo Mansion shouted "Second Master" in unison. Feng Ziying said, "Since everyone has
It belongs to your family, and the old lady will only be on duty until Jun is around."
Jia Baoyu thanked him hurriedly, returned to the wing where he lived, put on a plain-colored cloak, rubbed his hands, and returned to the main hall to keep vigil for Jia Mu.
Although the officers and soldiers searched carefully from the beginning, they never found the culprit. They searched until they reached the Buddhist scripture building at the back, and heard two laughters of "haha". Two black figures jumped out of the window like flying and climbed onto a big locust tree.
Outside was the temple wall. Feng Ziying shouted: "Chase! Set fire and shoot! Kill them!" When the soldiers rushed to the window and raised their guns, the two figures had already climbed over the wall. Feng Ziying also jumped from the window and chased them.
However, Feng Ziying could not catch up with the two masters who were obviously experts at climbing over walls and flying over walls. She watched them fly down the mountain road and shouted: "Chase! I don't believe they can outrun a horse!" She turned around and shouted, "Leave some people behind and wait."
Search, there are four of them!" He led his people to chase after them. The original general then led his people to continue the search.
After a while, a soldier who stayed in the temple entered the main hall, clasped his fists to Jia Baoyu and said, "Just now, General Feng asked the soldiers to tell the second master Bao."
Baoyu looked at him, lowered his head and said, "What."
The soldier whispered: "Please second master, please withdraw." Baoyu then ordered everyone in the palace to go down.
When the soldier saw that the man had gone out, he smiled slightly and whispered: "It's an emergency. I'm sorry." He raised his hand and waved, and Baoyu was knocked unconscious immediately.
After a while, someone shook Baoyu awake. He opened his eyes and saw that in front of him, in addition to the soldier just now, there was also someone wearing the clothes of a servant of the Rongguo Mansion. It happened to be Lin Daiyu. He was startled: "Sister Lin, you have been born since you were born.
Coming?"
Daiyu whispered: "I just thanked Brother Bao for helping me. Now is not the time to talk. I will hide behind the door and you pretend to let them in so that I can sneak in."
Baoyu nodded and called for people to come in. Everything was as usual. The soldier hugged Baoyu, turned around and went out. Baoyu was restless, but he did not dare to see where Lin Daiyu was. He only called for people to add incense and candles, and ordered
Take paper money and burn it.
The officers and soldiers on the other end were about to finish the search. They found a man in the toilet behind the temple. He was knocked unconscious and brought to the general. When he woke up and asked about it, he found that he was a soldier who came to search, and his clothes were stripped off.
A. The general was shocked: "No! They are among us!" He quickly asked his orders to identify each other. There were many people coming now, and it was night. It was not easy to identify them immediately! The commotion continued for a long time, but nothing happened.
Find the thief.
Feng Ziying led his men to chase for half a day, but nothing was caught, so he had to come back first. Hearing that the thief was disguised as one of his own soldiers, he stumbled and said, "I'm afraid he just followed me and ran out!" After thinking about it again and again, he decided to leave some people to guard him first.
Then, he led more than twenty people away.
After calling for the city gate to be opened, he went straight to the Lixiang Courtyard of Rongguo Mansion, broke down the door in the middle of the night, and took Jia Cong out of bed.
Jia Cong was completely confused, rubbing his eyes and complaining: "What are you doing! We have important matters at home tomorrow."
"Hurry up and follow me to Tiekang Temple." Feng Ziying's brows knitted into knots, "Otherwise you, the old lady, will be in trouble when you wake up tomorrow."
"Ah?" Jia Cong was stunned, "She is dead, so what trouble is there?"
Feng Ziying said: "Your Majesty has lost something very important, and he must not lose it."
"Jade seal?"
"no."
"Tiger Talisman?"
"Stop guessing." Feng Ziying said, "Anyway, you can't throw away the one."
"What does that have to do with my ancestors?"
Feng Ziying sighed: "The thieves broke into Tiejian Temple."
"Ha?!" Jia Cong was startled and woke up immediately, "You didn't disturb the ancestors, did you? Is Brother Baoyu scared?"
Feng Ziying glanced at the rafters: "Of course I didn't dare to disturb the old lady. Baoyu was so frightened that her face turned pale, but that's okay."
"Then I'll go take a look quickly, don't miss the auspicious time tomorrow." Jia Cong immediately changed his clothes. As soon as he left the house, he shivered again, "It's so cold."
The two of them hurried to Tiekshu Temple again, and it was getting daylight now. When they arrived at the gate of the temple, Jia Cong frowned and said, "Brother Feng, give me a general introduction first, so that I can guess the culprit's thoughts."
Feng Ziying said: "Your Majesty has a village near Tiekan Temple, which is usually used to entertain distinguished guests. Yesterday, someone pretended to be a gangster and scared away the distinguished guests, and the Prince was quite annoyed. Who knew that a thief broke into the village last night?
A very important thing was stolen. We chased the thief to Tiejian Temple."
Jia Cong asked: "Have you all seen them? How many people are there? What do they look like? Men, women, old and young? Are they tall, short, fat or thin?"
