"Uncle, this is your money bag, right?"

The old man turned his head and saw the money bag in Lu Xiaoxian's hand, and hurriedly touched his body, and sure enough, the money bag was gone, and he hurriedly said: "It's mine, it's mine, thank you so much!" ”

"No thanks!" Lu Xiaoxian smiled slightly, handed over the money bag, and didn't forget to say: "Uncle, don't dare to lose it next time!" ”

The old man left after thanking him for his kindness, and when Lu Xiaoxian turned his head to look at Li Si again, Li Si was gone.

At noon, Lu Xiaoxian looked at the restaurants on both sides of the street in Yiyangfang, and touched his cooing belly, but he could only smile wryly and shake his head.

When he came out of the Temple of Mercy and Grace, he forgot to bring silver, and Lu Xiaoxian only had a few copper plates on him, so he was afraid that he could only starve.

After not taking a few steps, Lu Xiaoxian suddenly stopped.

"Tiantong Casino!" Looking at the plaque of the gambling house on the street, Lu Xiaoxian had a smile on his face.

Yiyangfang is next to the East Market, which is naturally also lively, and the shouting of the East Market is more like an earthquake. Compared with the bustle of other stores, Tiantong Casino is crowded. The gamblers slept like dead pigs at this time, and most of them came here at night.

Lu Xiaoxian didn't think about it, so he walked into the gambling house with his feet up.

The façade of the gambling house looked inconspicuous, but when he walked inside, Lu Xiaoxian was taken aback: not only was it extremely luxurious, but it was also very large, much more than the Good Luck Gambling Workshop in Youzhou City.

There were very few gamblers in the gambling house at this time, Lu Xiaoxian paid attention to each stall, and after a while, he probably had a number in his heart, and there should be no problem in making a little money.

Finally, Lu Xiaoxian chose to bet on dice.

Yu Baoguan, who was in a stall next to him, looked at Lu Xiaoxian, and his hands couldn't help but tremble.

Not long ago, Wei Xianyun specially took Yu Baoguan to Youzhou City, originally planning to use Yu Baoguan as bait to attract Li Chongjun out. Unexpectedly, Lu Xiaoxian was sideways and won Yu Baoguan, which made Wei Xianyun's plan fall through.

Yu Baoguan was very impressed by Lu Xiaoxian, so he recognized him at once. Yu Baoguan changed his appearance at that time, and of course Lu Xiaoxian didn't know that Yu Baoguan was the yellow-faced man who bet with him.

Yu Baoguan quietly walked to the backyard, and after a while, he was followed by an old man in his fifties, who was the shopkeeper of Tiantong Casino.

Lu Xiaoxian shot cautiously, every bet must be hit, half an hour, and he won seven or eight taels of silver quietly. He thought that he was unaware of the ghosts, but he didn't expect to be seen clearly by Shopkeeper Hu and Yu Baoguan. Lu Xiaoxian then accepted it when he saw it and quietly left the gambling house.

Seeing Lu Xiaoxian's back disappear outside the door, Shopkeeper Hu nodded slightly, and said to Yu Baoguan: "The back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, shout to him Master did not insult your identity, he is indeed very strong!"

Yu Baoguan said strangely: "Why did he suddenly come to Chang'an?" ”

"It's not your business!" The shopkeeper Hu instructed, "Next time he comes, remember to notify me in time!" ”

"Yes! Shopkeeper's! ”

……

Lu Xiaoxian found a restaurant and had a beautiful meal.

Of course, he didn't forget to bring a roast chicken to Lu Xiaoyi.

In the west, Lu Xiaoxian returned to Ci'en Temple with a bamboo basket, afraid of being seen by other monks, and quietly returned to the incense room where he lived.

"Brother, why don't you take me when you go out?" Lu Xiaoyi complained when she saw Lu Xiaoxian.

Lu Xiaoxian smiled and handed the bamboo basket to Lu Xiaoyi: "See what I brought you?" ”

Lu Xiaoyi took the basket, and when he saw the roast chicken and wine inside, his face turned green, and he said in panic: "Brother, you are too bold, this is not Zhongmin Temple, if you let those know, you will definitely be driven out!" ”

"Who will know if you don't say?" Lu Xiaoxian said disapprerovingly.

"But ......"

Lu Xiaoyi wanted to say something, but Lu Xiaoxian waved his hand and said, "Okay, eat with confidence!" It's okay! I'm out for a walk! ”

As soon as he arrived in Zhikeliao, Lu Xiaoxian happened to meet Purun.

"Master Purun, how are you?" Lu Xiaoxian greeted Pu Run, "Is Master Yuanjue here?" ”

"In!" Purun replied.

Lu Xiaoxian pondered, "Please help me call Master Yuanjue out, okay?" ”

"No problem!" Purun nodded, and turned away.

Lu Xiaoxian told again: "You call Master Yuanjue out, don't alarm the others!" ”

Although Purun didn't understand what Lu Xiaoxian meant, he still nodded in agreement.

After a while, Yuan Jue followed Pu Run, and he said to Pu Run: "You go and get busy!" ”

When Purun walked away, Yuan Jue said to Lu Xiaoxian with a smile on his face: "Master Lu, do you have something to do with me?" ”

Lu Xiaoxian quietly stuffed a small ingot of silver into Yuan Jue's hand, and whispered: "I may have to disturb Master Yuan Jue often in the future, please take care of Master Yuan Jue!" ”

After that, Lu Xiaoxian didn't wait for Yuan Jue's reaction, but turned around and left.

Looking at Lu Xiaoxian's back, Yuan Jue quietly put the silver in his hand into his arms, turned around and entered Zhikeliao again.

Back in the fragrant room, Lu Xiaoyi was still waiting for Lu Xiaoxian.

Seeing that the bamboo basket he brought was put aside, Lu Xiaoxian couldn't cry or laugh: "Didn't you say that you would eat first!" What are you waiting for me to do? ”

"I don't dare, if I am ......," Lu Xiaoyi said pitifully.

"Okay, I'll eat with you, now you should be relieved?" Lu Xiaoxian didn't have a good airway.

After a while, the two of them filled their stomachs with two roast chickens and half a jar of wine. China Library

Lu Xiaoxian stretched his waist: "I'm full of food and drink, it's time to sleep!" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a knock on the door.

Lu Xiaoxian glanced at Lu Xiaoyi, and Lu Xiaoyi quickly hid the leftover chicken bones and empty wine jar.

"Who?" Lu Xiaoxian came to the door and asked.

"It's the poor monk Yuanjue!"

Lu Xiaoxian opened the door, looked at Yuan Jue who was carrying the lantern, and couldn't help laughing: "It's so late, Master Yuan Jue is still doing rounds?" ”

Yuan Jue pricked up his nose and sniffed, and couldn't help frowning: "You guys have been drinking?" ”

"Nope!" Lu Xiaoxian flatly denied: "There are temple rules in the temple, how can we drink alcohol?" ”

The room was filled with a strong smell of alcohol, but Lu Xiaoxian opened his eyes and said nonsense without changing his face.

Lu Xiaoyi held his breath and stared nervously at Wujue, for fear that Yuan Jue would continue to delve deeper.

Yuan Jue didn't ask any further, but told Lu Xiaoxian: "There has just been an accident in the temple, don't go out and walk around tonight!" ”

"Change? What happened? Lu Xiaoxian asked curiously.

"Don't bother, since both of you are here, let's go see the next one!" Before Yuan Jue could speak, an impatient voice came from outside the door.

"Okay, sir!" Yuan Jue answered, and walked towards another incense room.

At the moment when the door was closed, with the faint light of the lantern in Yuan Jue's hand, Lu Xiaoxian saw clearly that it was a young catcher who spoke.

What happened to the Temple of Mercy and Grace?

Why did Lian Yu come to the Temple of Mercy and Grace soon?

With doubts, Lu Xiaoxian soon fell asleep.

Early the next morning, Lu Xiaoxian came to Zhikeliao, he wanted to know what happened last night, so he came to Purun and Yuanjue to ask.

didn't see Yuan Jue, only Purun was busy, Lu Xiaoxian pulled Purun aside and asked quietly, "Master Purun, what happened in the temple last night?" ”

"The Lord of the Dharma suddenly ascended to heaven last night!" Purun said with a heavy face.

Lu Xiaoxian continued to ask, but he heard Purun say: "Master Zhong, the poor monk still has something to do, so I won't accompany you!" ”

With that, Purun left in a hurry.

"It turned out that the presiding officer of the Temple of Mercy and Grace suddenly died!" Lu Xiaoxian muttered to himself: "Even the Yamen's arrest is coming, it seems that this is not simple!" ”

Out of the Temple of Mercy and Grace, Lu Xiaoxian came to Suzaku Street.

Walk along Suzaku Street to the north, walk to Tonghuafang and turn west, through Tonghua, Tongyi, Guangde three squares is the West Market.

As soon as he turned into the street of Tonghuafang, Lu Xiaoxian saw a person hurriedly walking over.

Such a coincidence, it turned out to be him, Lu Xiaoxian muttered in his heart.

This person is the young catcher who followed Yuanjue on the ward rounds last night, although he is not wearing a catcher suit at the moment, Lu Xiaoxian still recognized him immediately.

Lu Xiaoxian's heart moved, and he was thinking about whether to say hello to the young catcher, the other party had already passed by him, and it seemed that there was something urgent.

Lu Xiaoxian turned his head, glanced at the back of the young catcher, and was about to turn back, but caught a glimpse of the young catcher and a thin teenager bumping head-on.

Seeing that young man, Lu Xiaoxian couldn't help but shake his head: The world is so small, let him meet the thief Li Si again.

"I'm sorry! I'm sorry! "Li Si is a young man, and he is not compensating.

The young catcher didn't care, nodded and continued to move forward.

A smile appeared on Li Si's face, and Shi Shiran came in the opposite direction to catch the fast.

After taking a few steps, the smile on Li Si's face froze, and he saw Lu Xiaoxian standing in front of him, smiling at him.

"You, what are you going to do?" Li Si looked at Lu Xiaoxian like he had seen a ghost.

"I said Brother Li, you can't take this person's silver......

Before Lu Xiaogossip finished speaking, Li Si became anxious: "What are you going to do, why do you keep bothering with my business?" Forget it yesterday, and today you're in the way......"

"He's a fast catcher!" Lu Xiaoxian shut up Li Si with a word.

"You just hit him on purpose, and he can already see your face. If he comes back to his senses and comes to you, will you have a good life in the future? Lu Xiaoxian said meaningfully: "They all came out to mix, and some people can't be provoked!" ”

The relationship between the catch and the thief is like the relationship between the cat and the mouse, the rat provokes the cat, and the result must be miserable.

Sure enough, Li Si listened to Lu Xiaoxian's words, and his face instantly changed color.

However, he was still a little unconvinced, and hesitated: "I know all the catchers of Jingzhao Mansion, why haven't I seen him?" ”

"I don't know about this, but yesterday he was wearing a fast suit on business, and I happened to see him, I won't admit it!" Lu Xiaoxian looked compassionate: "If you hadn't helped me, I wouldn't have bothered to care about this idle matter!" ”

Although Li Si still didn't believe it, he was also afraid that he would really offend the catcher, so Ai Ai said: "Then you say, what should I do?" ”

Lu Xiaoxian stretched out his hand: "Don't bother the two masters, or give me the things, and I'll help you solve it!" ”

Li Si looked bitter and handed the silver bag to Lu Xiaoxian.
