Chapter 300: Manslaughter
It was night, and at midnight, the lights of Anguo Temple went out and the monks fell asleep.
Only the lights and shadows of the East Zen Temple are sufficient, it is Li Chengxuan, An Chengren, and Guangxuan Zen Master who are talking at night with candles, and there are laughter or disputes in the main room from time to time.
Xilingyue, Xiao Yi, and Guo Zhongting met in the West Zen Courtyard and wanted to go to the West Wing of the East Zen Temple. Before the three of them walked out of the courtyard, they suddenly heard a few cat meows from the wall, and then a figure fell, it was Adam!
Xilingyue hurriedly asked, "Adan, why did you come?" Belch...... Or did you climb the wall? ”
Adan looked hateful: "It's a long story, the servant was targeted outside, and it was not easy to get out, for fear of attracting the killer, he didn't dare to go to the main gate." ”
"You're being targeted?" Guo Zhongting was surprised, "What's the matter?" Is someone trying to kill you, or is it going to kill the prince? ”
"Neither. Someone wanted to kill the Xiling lady and mistook the servant. ”
"You're going to kill me?" Xiling Yue was even more surprised.
Xiao Yi also frowned.
"I just arrived in Chang'an, and I didn't offend anyone, who wants to kill me?" Xiling Yue was very surprised.
Xiao Yi pondered for a moment: "It seems that the news of your investigation of the Birth Gang has spread, and someone wants to stop you." ”
Xiling Yue shuddered suddenly.
"Now is not the time to care," Xiao Yi turned his head and asked Adam, "Are you hurt?" ”
Adan lifted the sleeve of his left arm, revealing a scarlet blood mark, and his expression was unwilling: "That person's martial arts are not high, and it was the maid's carelessness that he got his hands on." ”
Xiao Yi looked at the wound by the light under the corridor: "Fortunately, the wound is not deep." As he spoke, he took out a bottle of medicine from his bosom, crushed one with his fingers, applied it to Adam's wound, and tore off a piece of his robe to bandage her.
Xi Lingyue looked at the wound and felt very apologetic: "Adan, I'm sorry, I hurt you." ”
Adan was very calm: "The lady is serious, the prince transferred the servant to serve you in order to protect you." Now that you're not hurt, thank God,. ”
Xiling Yue apologized even more after hearing this.
Guo Zhongting said curiously: "Huh? Adan and Xiling girls don't look alike, how could the murderer admit his mistake? ”
Xi Lingyue looked down at her green dress, and then at Adan's clothes: "It is estimated that we both wore green today, and the murderer recognized the wrong person." ”
"Oh." Guo Zhongting understood.
Xiao Yi saw that the hour was not early, and reminded a few people: "Don't worry about talking, the matter of the prince has not been done yet." ”
Seeing that Adan looked confused, Xilingyue only told her that she was going to find a batch of treasures, and didn't mention the rest, and Adan didn't ask much.
A few people then quietly went to the East Zen Monastery and went to the west wing in the dark.
Xilingyue took out the key given by Li Chengxuan, opened the door lock, handed the key to Guo Zhongting, and advised: "The prince said, let you stay outside the door." When we get in, you lock the door again, and when we're done, you come back and open it. ”
Guo Zhongting nodded excitedly: "It's not the first time I've done this errand, don't worry." ”
Xilingyue thought of the aftermath caused by the robbery of the dungeon in Zhenhai, and said in her heart: It is because of the experience of the past that I dare not be too relieved to you.
But in the end, this is Chang'an, Guo Zhongting's status is noble, and he may be safer than last time. Xilingyue comforted herself like this, and entered the West Wing with the other three, and Guo Zhongting relocked the door outside.
This west wing room is very large, and there are tables, chairs, benches, beds and screens in the room. Rao can still put more than 80 boxes in this way, and they are stacked in twos and twos, and there is still plenty of space.
Surprisingly, these boxes were not locked, and I wonder if Master An Cheng was too confident in the defense of the temple, or if he believed too much in the professionalism of the thief?
Xiling Yue smiled at Adan and said, "I wanted you to pick the lock, but now it seems that it is not necessary." ”
Adan also smiled, reinserted the hairpin that was about to be unlocked back into his head, and said, "Let's look for the top box first, and then move it to find the bottom head, how about it?" ”
Xiling Yue took a sip: "Okay." ”
This pile of boxes is stacked in twos and twos, placed horizontally and vertically very neatly, and is exactly divided into three vertical rows. The three of them each began to rummage in a row, and soon finished finding the boxes on the top, almost all of them were subsets of scriptures and histories, precious calligraphy and paintings, and there was no shadow of Zhenhai's batch of birth gangs.
Xi Lingyue pointed to the box that was pressed down: "This batch should have entered Anguo Temple with Master An Cheng, and what kind of 'True Luo' or 'Fake Luo' mage things, we have to find them carefully." ”
Adan nodded, and walked straight over to pick up one, but found that the box was too big and heavy for her to move alone.
Xiao Yi hurriedly dissuaded her: "You have an injury on your arm, and you can't use force." ”
Xilingyue rolled up her sleeves and prepared to help her, but Xiao Yi immediately stopped: "Your shoulder injury hasn't healed yet, and you can't use your strength." ”
"What then?" Xilingyue pointed to the box and said, "It's all books here, it's so heavy that you can't move it alone." ”
Xiao Yi pondered for a moment and proposed: "Let Guo Jungong come in and take a hand, and Adan will go outside and stare at it." ”
"No, no, no, let's let the Xiling lady go out, the maid has kung fu and may be able to come in handy." Adan refused.
Xilingyue didn't hesitate much, and agreed: "It's okay." She walked over and knocked on the window lattice, motioned for Guo Zhongting to open the door, and quickly replaced him in.
After Xilingyue went out, she also locked the door from the outside, and then sat under the porch to guard. There were only about two dozen boxes left, and I checked it quickly, and it didn't take long to hear someone banging on the window lattice. She walked to the window and saw that Guo Zhongting had opened the window a crack, and hurriedly asked, "How is it?" What did you find? ”
Guo Zhongting shook his head: "I've seen it all, many of them are empty, and the rest are calligraphy, paintings, travelogues, and the like." ”
Xiling Yue was suddenly disappointed: "Did I guess wrong again?" ”
Unexpectedly, as soon as she finished speaking, a flash of fire suddenly came into view, and then someone shouted: "Hurry up, look everywhere!" ”
Xilingyue was shocked, and pressed Guo Zhongting back into the house, while she hurriedly ran into the flowers on the side and hid. As soon as she had taken refuge, she saw a group of monks running up with torches and standing at the bottom of the porch.
The movement was too loud, and in the end it disturbed the three people who were talking at night in the main room, and Zen Master Guangxuan took the lead in coming out, frowning and asking, "What's the matter?" ”
Li Chengxuan and An Cheng also stepped out of the main room, and Ah Cui followed at the end with a candlestick in hand.
The leader of the monks stepped forward and said, "Master, when the apprentices were on patrol tonight, they found a woman in green lying on the wall sneaky. The disciple was afraid that she would sneak into the temple with bad intentions, so he took people around to investigate. ”
"You mean there's a bad guy sneaking in?" Zen Master Guangxuan was shocked.
The monk nodded cautiously: "Yes, but the disciple has seen her appearance, don't worry, the disciple will definitely find her." Hearing this, Zen Master Guangxuan was quite calm, turned his head to Li Chengxuan and Master An Cheng and said, "Since there are villains sneaking in, for the safety of the two of you, let's let them look for it." ”
