Chapter 788: Why Hurry

"Quick, pass them into the palace to see me! I want to see who stole my Buddha treasure." The king waved his hand.

"Yes. A eunuch responded, walked briskly towards the outside of the hall, walked to the door and said loudly with a slender voice: "Xuanda Tang monk Tang Sanzang master and apprentice enter the palace to meet you!"

Voices spread outward from the palace gates to the palace gates.

"Xuanda Tang monk Tang Sanzang's master and apprentice enter the palace to meet you!" a little eunuch trotted to the palace gate and said loudly.

"Little father-in-law, no, these monks are of unknown origin, if they are allowed to enter the palace, I am afraid it will be unfavorable to the king!" Zheng Yuezhou's expression had become extremely ugly, and he looked back at the little eunuch and said.

"Lord Shangshu, this is what Your Majesty means, if you have any opinions, please enter the palace to meet Your Majesty. The little eunuch was a little flustered, but he said the same thing.

"Receive. As soon as the leader of the guards raised his hand, the long knives in the hands of the guards were sheathed, and the archers on the palace wall also put away their longbows, all of them secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

It's really stressful to put them against someone who can catch a yokai with a stick.

"We can enter the palace now, right?" asked Zhu Tianpeng, looking at the leader of the guards.

"Please. The head of the guards nodded, and all the guards got out of the way, since it was the person His Majesty wanted to see, naturally there was no reason to stop it.

"Lord Shangshu, let's see you upwards. Tang Sanzang looked at Zheng Yuezhou and sneered, and walked towards the palace first.

"This master, but these two monsters are still outside the palace, if they disturb Your Majesty, it will not be good. The head of the guard looked at the prisoner cart that also wanted to drive towards the palace, and hurriedly spoke again.

"Okay, but you have to watch them well, and your majesty may have to ask them later. Tang Sanzang nodded, knowing their concerns, he didn't feel embarrassed, and walked towards the palace.

A little eunuch led everyone towards the palace, the sacrificial country can indeed be regarded as a big country among the countries in the Western Regions, the palace is much larger than the previous countries, although there is a gap compared with the one in Chang'an, but it still deserves the word majestic.

Outside a large hall, the little eunuch entered the door to report, and after a while, the eunuch standing at the door of the main hall said loudly: "The master and apprentice of Xuantang Sanzang have entered the hall to meet him." ”

"Let's go. Tang Sanzang nodded and walked towards the main hall.

Because he often went in and out of the palace back then, Tang Sanzang didn't feel much about these scenes that were very solemn and awe-inspiring in the eyes of others.

The group entered the main hall, and the king and all the ministers looked at each other. ’

His eyes fell on Tang Sanzang, a handsome little monk, although he looked young, he didn't give people a pompous feeling, the quiet expression on his face made people feel at ease, and he actually had a feeling of being a monk, which really made people feel strange.

And when his eyes fell on the women behind him, his eyes lit up, those women were dressed differently, but they were all as beautiful as immortals, even if they searched the harem of the Saisai country, they couldn't find a beauty comparable to them.

However, the people present are all people who have seen the world, so they will not be too out of shape because of beauty.

The king of the festival looked at Tang Sanzang again and asked, "Are you a monk from the Eastern Tang Dynasty?"

"Back to Your Majesty, the poor monk Tang Sanzang came from the Eastern Tang Dynasty. Tang Sanzang folded his hands and said, he also took a large number of glances at this king, who looked about fifty years old, with half-white hair and a majestic face.

"What evidence?" asked the king again.

"There is a customs clearance document stamped with the seal of the Tang Dynasty as evidence. Tang Sanzang took out the customs clearance document and said.

"Present it. The king raised his hand.

A little eunuch came down and took the customs clearance paperwork, holding it in both hands and handing it to the king.

The king took the customs clearance document and looked at it, his expression was not very good at first, after all, he was also the lord of a country, and the sacrificial country was regarded as a state among the surrounding countries, and it was naturally a little unhappy to see such a customs clearance document standing on a high place to guide the world, but after seeing the million iron horses behind, his expression changed again, and finally he closed the customs clearance document with some emotion and said: "The lord of the Tang Dynasty is really extraordinary, millions of iron horses, it can be seen that the country is vast, and it is really a generation of heroes." ”

Although the country is large, the population is less than one million, and the number is not as large as the number of iron horsemen, so the gap can be seen.

"Your Majesty, when we enter the palace today, in addition to exchanging customs clearance documents, there is one more thing we want to tell Your Majesty in person. Tang Sanzang looked at the king and said.

"I was just about to ask you, you said that you knew the truth about the theft of the Buddha treasure three years ago, but is this matter serious? Where is the so-called monster caught?" the king also looked at Tang Sanzang and asked.

"Your Majesty, yesterday our master and apprentice party just entered the national capital of the sacrificial race, and saw the monks of Jinguang Temple imprisoned, and then went to Jinguang Temple after inquiry, and listened to the words of the monks of Jinguang Temple, and learned that the theft of the Buddha treasure was not done by them at all, and it happened that two little demons were caught on the top of the tower, and confessed that the case of the Buddha treasure being stolen three years ago was actually done by the monster of the Boyue Cave in Bibo Pond, so he came to meet His Majesty before. Tang Sanzang nodded and said.

"Your Majesty, what he said is nonsense, the monks of Jinguang Temple have confessed that the Buddha treasure was stolen by themselves, headed by the abbot, and the entire Jinguang Temple is in caustenance, and all of them deserve to die. At this moment, Zheng Yuezhou, the secretary of the Criminal Department, broke into the hall and said loudly.

Everyone looked at him with some surprise, before he said that he was unwell and asked His Majesty to go home to rest, but he didn't expect to go outside to stop Tang Sanzang and his party from entering the palace, and now he came back to refute Tang Sanzang's words, his words and deeds were very strange.

"Lord Shangshu, why are you in such a hurry, such a big Jinguang Temple, so many monks, are all iron-clad men? After three years of trial and killing so many people, since you are complicit, you can't find the whereabouts of the slightest bit of the Buddha treasure? In my opinion, some people can't find the direction to solve the case and want to evade punishment, so they deliberately put some trumped-up charges on those poor monks, kill a group of them every once in a while, and use them to deal with Your Majesty. Zhu Tianpeng said with a sneer, his expression was very sarcastic.

As soon as these words came out, the expressions on the faces of the ministers suddenly became wonderful.

This matter has also been widely spread in the circle of ministers, but because Zheng Yuezhou is the secretary of the criminal department, his authority is monstrous, and there is a shadow of a prince behind him, so no one dares to say it in person, but he didn't expect to be broken by Zhu Tianpeng now.

"Shut up!" Zheng Yuezhou glared at Zhu Tianpeng, although his expression was still calm, his eyes were completely panicked, and he was still trying to find a way to cover up the matter, but he didn't expect to be pulled to the surface by Zhu Tianpeng from the beginning.
