Li Xu walked out of the duty room in the prison, looked at Huijing not far away, with a somewhat hesitant look on his face, but finally walked forward, and hesitated when he was about to leave the cell.
After hearing the report from his subordinates, the commander-in-chief Lingshi immediately came over and whispered: "If Mr. Li is not here to take charge, I will take someone to take a look."
Before Li Xu could speak, he immediately became so worried that he seemed about to cry: "The eldest lady is extremely anxious. Master Jiu is a member of the family. It would be better for you to go back than anything else."
"In urgent matters, follow the authority," Li Xu looked at Du Guan Lingshi, "My mother has an old disease. This time she went to Beijing to see a doctor. She couldn't be frightened. My eldest sister has been in the north all year round and is not familiar with Beijing.
If something like this happens suddenly, the house may be in chaos. I'll go take a look and come back immediately."
Li Xu ignored others, turned around, picked up his cloak and followed the steward out of the check-in room.
Du Guan Ling Shi wanted to stop him again, but Li Xu stopped and ordered: "You stay and watch the prison carefully, just like when I was here."
The behavior of the servants of the Li family was very obvious. Everyone could tell that something big had happened to the Li family. No wonder Mr. Li was panicked. The official ordered Shi to nod and said: "I understand."
Li Xu looked at the government official: "Take six or seven people to follow me."
The official responded.
Li Xu led the people out of the government office. The surroundings were dark. Several people walked forward quickly. The steward of the Li family who was following him did not dare to neglect. He was just thinking about how to tell Master Jiu about the Li family's affairs.
I heard Li Xu say: "How is the eldest lady?"
"No...it's okay." The steward said this, but he didn't know how to continue. The man told him not to talk nonsense. As long as he brought Master Jiu back to the house, they would let the eldest wife and the eldest lady go. The eldest lady also
Fortunately, he was just confined. The eldest lady's situation was not very good. He was just thinking about how to tell Master Jiu.
However, Li Xu had already neatly climbed onto his horse and ran forward. When the group reached the halfway point, Li Xu suddenly reined in the reins and changed direction as if preparing to return the same way.
However, a person jumped out from the darkness and stood in front of him. Li Xu drew out the soft sword from his waist.
The steward of the Li family exclaimed.
…
Prison Department of Punishment.
The governor ordered Shi to send Li Xu away and told everyone not to be careless: "Something happened in Mr. Li's house and many people were taken away. Now I am ordered to sit in the Yamen to prevent anyone from taking advantage of the situation. You will kill all the Yamen."
The guards were all called up and patrolling outside the prison."
The official took the order.
The governor ordered Shi to take a lantern and check the surroundings carefully, and then walked to the prison where Huijing was imprisoned.
Li Xu imprisoned Huijing and others under his nose, and he personally supervised them during these days. No one was allowed to approach Huijing's cell except for Shangguan who was interrogating Huijing.
Even the governors like them can't do it.
Huijing had a conversation with the woman earlier today, and Li Xu became more careful. He even moved the desk over and looked at the official documents in his hand while watching over Huijing.
If it were anyone else, he could sustain it for an hour or two and soon feel tired, but Li Xu was different from ordinary people. After such a long time, it seemed that it had no impact on him.
The governor ordered Shi to hold a lamp and walk to the door of Huijing prison.
"Did he ask you to come?" Huijing's voice sounded, and he remained calm as he slowly twisted the beads in his palm.
"Great monk, what are you talking about?" Du Guanling Shi said.
Under the light, Huijing's dark brown eyes reflected the shadow of Du Guan Lingshi: "The master who was sitting here just left, I knew he had someone come."
The governor ordered Shi to stop talking and took out a key to open the big lock of Huijing's cell.
Huijing didn't panic or have any intention of getting up and running away. There was a sad look on his face: "Does he have nothing to say? He has always been able to convince me in the past. It seems... he has also exhausted all his methods and was beaten by others.
Forced with no way out."
As Huijing's voice sounded, the old woman woke up and shouted: "Who are you? What do you want to do?"
"Don't play tricks," Du Guan Ling Shi scolded, "This is the prison of the Ministry of Punishment. When no superior officer comes to interrogate you, don't make a sound, otherwise I will make you look good."
The righteous voice of Du Guan Ling Shi dispelled the thoughts of the outside jailers coming to see what was going on. The jailers in the prison all knew that a monster monk was imprisoned here, and his words could confuse people. Lord Li had warned them before that no matter how wise they were,
They should not listen to anything Jing said, let alone respond, otherwise they would most likely be taken advantage of by Hui Jing.
When she found that no one was coming, the old woman became even more frightened. Even if she shouted for help, those people would not pay attention to her.
Everyone in the prison obviously obeyed the orders of the official in front of them.
The lock was opened, and the governor ordered Shi to walk in.
Huijing looked at the old woman: "It's time for you to tell the truth now, right? Am I my biological mother?"
The old woman nodded in panic and was speechless. She looked at everything in front of her in horror. The man would come to deal with her after killing Huijing.
Is she going to die like this?
The old woman panicked and said to the governor: "Let me go... I won't tell anyone. I won't say anything. I don't know anything. He should know better when he finds me. I haven't seen him."
, I don’t know who he is.”
Huijing looked at the old woman. It was obvious that the old woman only cared about her own life and did not take him seriously. She was not willing to say anything more for fear of angering the man and killing her.
Such a mother is not a mother at all, she is just using him.
Huijing closed his eyes, and he seemed to see Master Ji Yan. Master Ji Yan climbed up the tower step by step, and pushed Wu Jie away at the last moment.
Regardless of the danger, the monks bid farewell to Master Ji Yan under the burning tower.
In fact, from that day on, he would think of this scene every day, and think of the expression on Master Ji Yan's face, so plain, as if there was no emotion shown, but it was this calmness that quietly penetrated his heart.
Then he thought about being punished when he was a child, the warm steamed buns brought by his senior brother, and the earnest eyes of his master looking at him.
What is true and what is false is easy to distinguish at this moment.
He lures believers to fight and makes them believe that everything is the right choice. He is tempting himself. He is right. There is no need to believe in others. He is the Buddha. There is no need to beg from anyone. But in the end, all he begs for is false.
, even his hatred is fake.
"Amitabha." Huijing whispered. At this moment, all he wanted to say was a Buddhist saying, and what he desperately wanted to recite were scriptures.
Is this his regret?
"He said," Du Guan Ling Shi said, "those who fail have no right to make demands."
The governor ordered Shi to pull out his dagger and stab Huijing in the neck.
"You will die too," Huijing said, "and you won't be able to escape."
Huijing just finished speaking.
Du Guan Lingshi felt something falling from the top of his head. He subconsciously raised his head and something like sand fell from the sky, which immediately confused his eyes.
