"It's also that you didn't succeed, otherwise I wouldn't have spared." Li Chengxuan opened his mouth for the first time.

Kongkong'er pouted: "My senior brother and sister have robbed tombs for more than ten years, and only that time did they return empty-handed, and the prince is really powerful." ”

"If you don't fight, you don't know each other." Guo Zhongting interjected with a smile.

Xi Lingyue's mind was not on the "heroic deeds" of their senior brothers and sisters, but asked curiously: "What mistake did the prince make back then, and he would be punished by the emperor to guard the mausoleum?" ”

This time, without waiting for an empty answer, he heard Guo Zhongting gritted his teeth and said: "This is not the prince's fault at all!" It was the king who went in and out of the Qinglou and made a life lawsuit, but he was framed on his head. My grandfather mistakenly believed this, so he punished him to guard the imperial tomb for three months! ”

It turns out that it is still a hand and foot tilt!

"Why didn't the prince explain?" Xiling Yue really couldn't figure it out.

"What's the use of explaining? Stolen goods and seizures! The more Guo Zhongting spoke, the more resentful he became, "Over the years, if it weren't for the mediation of my father and mother, the prince's reputation would be worse than now!" ”

As early as when Xilingyue and Li Chengxuan first met, she heard Pei Xingli mention the name of King Fu, saying how he was profligate, open-mouthed, and spent all his time drinking. Later, she gradually understood his personality, and thought that those were just his disguises, but she didn't expect that they were all the "credit" of other princes. Thinking like this, Xiling Yue also felt injustice for him.

Kongkong'er also sighed: "If you want me to say that the prince is too capable, everything is good, so that your brothers are red." ”

Everyone thought this was the case, and nodded in agreement.

"Alright, let's get down to business!" Li Chengxuan obviously didn't want to talk about this matter more, and seeing that the hour was not early, he talked about tomorrow's plan.

Fortunately, Jingjinger and Kongkonger are experienced, and the negotiation went very smoothly, but a small incident happened in the meantime.

It was Kongkonger who fell in love with Xiao Yi at first sight, and kept secretly sending Qiu Bo to him during the discussion, and interrupted Li Chengxuan's words twice, asking Xiao Yi's age and marriage status. When he heard that he had married Li Wangzhen of Ziqing, Kongkonger obviously showed regret, which made the rest of the people feel uncomfortable.

In addition, there was no more turmoil, and everyone went back to their homes to recuperate.

The next day, the first day of October, there were exactly ten days left before the Queen Mother's birthday banquet. Guangxuan Zen Master held a Dharma meeting as scheduled, playing the name of "praying for the birthday of Her Royal Highness the Queen Mother", scattering flowers and lighting lamps in Anguo Temple, hanging incense, and inviting monks from all walks of life to come and pray.

Naturally, Master Zhen Luo was also invited, and she couldn't find a reason to refuse the trip.

According to the plan, Li Chengxuan and Guo Zhongting would cooperate with Zen Master Guangxuan to stumble Master Zhen Luo for a whole day. Xiling Yue, Xiao Yi, Kong Kong'er, and Jing Jing'er came to Master Zhen Luo's residence in Chang'an, the Qingxiu Garden located at the back street entrance of Anguo Temple.

The four of them thought that there would be subordinates or disciples and grandchildren of Master Zhen Luo in the garden, and even prepared incense and other things, but they didn't expect that the garden was empty, so they went in without much effort.

As far as the eye can see, this is just a small courtyard with three entrances and three exits, sitting north and facing south. The first entrance is the waiting room, with a tea room on the east side and a lecture room on the west side; The second entrance is the main room where Master Zhen Luo lives, and there are two wings on the left and right in addition to the ear room; The last one is the Buddha Hall, where you can smell the strong sandalwood fragrance before you get close, and there is a place for people to meditate, rest, and copy Buddhist scriptures; At the back row of squat houses are firewood houses and stoves.

The whole Qingxiu Garden is quaint and old, quiet and pleasant, and it is very worthy of its name.

Seeing this, Kongkonger scoffed: "The prince is really good at overkill, come to a nun's residence, and there is no oil and water." ”

"Senior sister!" Jing'er scolded in a deep voice.

The empty air was immediately silenced.

Xiling Yue and Xiao Yi sensitively found a problem - they didn't find the thirty boxes of Master Zhen Luo.

The layout and furnishings of this house are very simple, and there are not many scriptures and classics in the Buddhist hall, so where are the thirty boxes of old things in Master Zhen Luo's mouth, and the things she collected when she practiced in Luoyang?

Ten thousand steps back, even if the contents of the boxes have been laid out, those thirty empty boxes alone will occupy at least one room. Yet not here.

Xiling Yue said almost firmly: "Brother Jing, please investigate, I suspect that there is a secret room here." ”

Jing Jing'er looked around and replied empirically: "It's not like there's a secret room here. But to be on the safe side, he still set out his feng shui plate and measured the direction on the ground. Sokonger also jumped on the beam of the room and looked around, looking for the mechanism of the secret room.

However, after looking for half an hour, I found nothing. Jing Jing'er then put away the feng shui plate and said firmly: "County Lord, based on my years of experience, there is no secret room here. Sora nodded in agreement.

But Xilingyue still didn't give up, so she took out the log beads she brought, and tested them room by room like looking for Li Heng in Zhenhai.

Seeing this, Jingjing'er showed a look of approval: "Although this method is stupid, it is also effective. ”

It's a pity that Xilingyue tested all the houses in Sanjin, but still found nothing. Several people stood in the Buddha hall and were very depressed.

"Could it be that she got the box elsewhere?" Empty speculation.

Ruled out all possibilities, this is the only result. Xilingyue sighed and said, "I have to think of other ways." ”

The four of them then walked out of the temple and decided to leave. However, when Xi Lingyue stepped out of the threshold with one foot, she suddenly paused and turned her head to look at Jing Jing'er: "Brother Jing, we still have a place to find." ”

"You mean the firewood room and the guy's room?"

Xiling Yue nodded.

Jing Jing'er categorically denied: "I have never seen a secret room built in that kind of place, not to mention the smoke and fire, in case of water, the secret room will be destroyed." ”

Xilingyue knew that Jingjing'er was a master of organs, but she had a kind of persistence in her bones, which prompted her to verify to the end, so she lifted her skirt and went around to the back of the Buddhist hall.

"Hey! The county lord is really stubborn! Kongkong'er laughed teasingly, and followed her over. The other two men followed.

Xiling Yue first pushed open the door of the firewood house, and saw bundles of firewood placed on the ground, piled up like hills, and there were a lot of dry firewood and grass around.

Xiao Yi also walked into the firewood room and looked around, and was the first to find the problem: "Yue'er, look, the firewood is moldy." ”

Everyone looked down and saw that the firewood at the bottom of the firewood pile, which was as high as a hill, was indeed moldy and covered with black spots.

Kongkonger didn't care: "It rained heavily in Chang'an two days ago, isn't it normal for firewood to be moldy?" ”

Xiao Yi was silent for a moment: "But Master Zhen Luo only returned to Chang'an three days ago, and was busy with the funeral of Venerable An Cheng, how did she prepare so much firewood?" ”

Xiling Yue also opened her mouth to analyze: "On the day she returned to Chang'an, the rain was pouring down, and normal people would never prepare so much firewood after the heavy rain, and it was clear that it was going to be damp." ”

"Perhaps...... Maybe someone prepared it for her before she returned? Empty Empty raised an objection.
