Chapter 787: Someone is in the way
Piracy detected!"Good. The commander of the guards nodded, waved his hand, and more than twenty guards with knives escorted the Shangshu of the Criminal Department towards Tang Sanzang and them, and above the palace wall, more archers also appeared, and the bows and arrows in their hands pointed directly at Tang Sanzang and their party.
"Don't be in a hurry for a while, if you kill the Shangshu of the Criminal Department now, we won't be able to enter the palace by the time. Tang Sanzang said softly, looking at the criminal department book that walked slowly, he was a little impressed by his courage.
It seems that the soldiers at the gate of Jinguang Temple in the morning are all his subordinates, and the news has been transmitted to the palace so quickly, and it is the time of the early dynasty, I didn't expect that as the secretary of the criminal department, he could run out to stop them, and he really has some ability and determination.
"You said that you are monks from the Eastern Soil Datang, the Eastern Soil Datang is thousands of miles away from my sacrificial country, how did you come here as a monk with a few weak women?
The guards also nodded thoughtfully when they heard this, yes, the Eastern Tang Dynasty is generally seen from some legends and book records, so far away, even the caravan may not be able to arrive, this monk came with a few girls just like this, it's nonsense at all.
However, the soldiers had seen Tang Sanzang's immortal methods at the gate of Jinguang Temple, and they could accept it in their hearts, but they didn't believe it when they saw the Shangshu of the Criminal Department, and they were a little drumming in their hearts.
"The road is there, if you want to walk, you can naturally walk. Tang Sanzang replied with a smile.
"Master, this forced outfit is fresh and refined. Zhu Tianpeng nodded and said.
"Generally average. Tang Sanzang smiled.
"Monk, you don't want to say such nonsense, you can tell me how you caught the two monsters behind, if you don't have a little demon magic, how can you fight them!" Zheng Yuezhou said angrily.
"My lord, I'm going to say that I caught it all at once, and I'm afraid you'll say that I'm lying again, right? So, do you want me to tell me in detail how my apprentice reached out and grabbed the monster and then tied them up again?" Tang Sanzang frowned and asked rhetorically.
"You!" Zheng Yuezhou was so angry that his chest hurt a little, this guy can be said to be very difficult to deal with, but looking at the two terrifying-looking monsters on the prisoner car, his heart was a little irritable.
After the review of the past three years, it can be basically confirmed that the disappearance of the Buddha treasure back then has nothing to do with most of the monks of Jinguang Temple, but the monks of Jinguang Temple are almost dead, and now if this conclusion is overturned, then his black gauze hat will also be brought to the end.
Therefore, no matter what happens now, we must insist that the Buddha treasure was stolen by the monks of Jinguang Temple, and after the last group of monks die, there will be no proof of this matter.
This case is too involved, and if it is overturned, the Criminal Department estimates that starting with him, the Lord Shangshu, the official hat will be lifted to the end.
"I believe that Lord Shangshu should still be reasonable, if no one knows about this matter, even if no one knows about it, the monks of Jinguang Temple may all die unjustly, and then bear the infamy of stealing Buddha treasures and be spurned forever. But now I have discovered that everything is different, and it seems to be a little different from the truth you are talking about, so I plan to make all the truth public if I meet the king, Lord Shangshu, are you okay?" Tang Sanzang continued with a smile.
"Nonsense! All the evidence points to the monks of Jinguang Temple who are guarding and stealing their own treasures, stealing the Buddha's treasures and hiding them, favoring each other, colluding with each other, and bullying the king, and their crimes should be punished.
"It seems that the Shangshu of the Criminal Department deliberately prevented us from entering the palace to see the king, right? Since we are so scared now, why did we put all this matter on the head of Jinguang Temple back then?" Zhu Tianpeng said with a smile.
"Presumptuous, this official speaks, how dare you talk to a slut!" Zheng Yuezhou glared at Zhu Tianpeng and shouted.
"You spoke like that, put it a year ago, you were dead. Zhu Tianpeng looked at Zheng Yuezhou and pursed his lips, but he was not very angry.
"Master, what now? He's deliberately trying to lure us into action, right?" Sha Wanjing said softly, looking at the arrows on the palace wall that were facing them.
"Which of you is louder, the kind that the king in the palace can hear directly. Tang Sanzang looked at everyone and asked.
"I'm good at this, Master, you say, what do you want to say. Zhu Tianpeng nodded.
"Just tell me the story I just told us about. Tang Sanzang nodded.
"Good. Zhu Tianpeng nodded, and then directly ignored Zheng Yuezhou, and said loudly in the direction of the palace: "The poor monk Tang Sanzang, from the Eastern Tang Dynasty, went to the West Heaven to learn scriptures, passed through the sacrificial country, and came to exchange customs clearance documents, yesterday in the Jinguang Temple caught two monsters, told the truth that the Buddha treasure of the Jinguang Temple was stolen three years ago, and came to the palace to ask to see His Majesty, but now he was stopped at the gate of the palace by the Ministry of Criminal Affairs for no reason to enter the palace, and asked His Majesty the King to meet and inform the true location of the Buddha treasure. ”
"The demon disturbs Your Majesty! Release the arrow!" Zheng Yuezhou's face changed, he originally thought that it would be good as long as he could stop them from the palace, but he didn't think that they would still do such a trick, it was simply a foul.
"Stop!" shouted the leader of the guards, stopping the guards who were already preparing to release their arrows.
"Commander Zhou!" Zheng Yuezhou turned around, a little anxious.
"Lord Shangshu, there should be news in the palace soon, please don't be impatient, this subordinate really can't afford it, please understand, the palace guards belong directly to Your Majesty. "The attitude of the head of the guard has become a little tough, the other party has used such a loud way to transmit the voice, there must be some means, and since Your Majesty already knows about this matter, how to do it is naturally to listen to Your Majesty, not the Ministry of Punishment.
The king and the ministers who were in the early court were shocked when they heard the sudden sound, but they didn't expect that someone would be able to transmit the sound into the palace like this.
"Did she mean that she knew whose hands the Buddha treasure was?" asked the King of the Sacrifice Race, looking at His Highness and the others.
"Your Majesty, that's what she said, and she knows who the real thief is who stole the Buddha treasure. His Royal Highness replied.
"But didn't Lord Shangshu ask His Majesty to go back to the palace to rest because he was unwell, how could he appear outside the palace to prevent them from entering the palace to meet him?"
"The case of the Buddha Treasure has been investigated by the Criminal Department all these years, and the monks of Jinguang Temple have been killed, and the Buddha Treasure has not been found, I am afraid that Lord Shangshu has received the news. Someone whispered, but the words were clearly heard throughout the hall.
