113, Tongue War
Qingfeng and Mingyue were instructed to report to the main halls, while Xin Yi sat in the old residence and waited.
She held the half of the jade tightly in her hand, thinking of the small parchment scroll she had seen from inside.
Master......
Crystal tears rolled down the corners of her eyes.
Xiao Yuanyou saw that her face was full of tears when she was crying, her fingers were tightly clasped, her knuckles were white, and her heart suddenly became sore, so he picked her up and put her on the couch.
"Fifth brother." Xin Yi spoke in a thick nasal voice, like a coquette, "I hurt." ”
Xiao Yuanyou reached out and probed her forehead, touched her face again, and rubbed her hands,
"You're so sad and crying a lot, I'll ask someone to fetch water to help you put it on it, and you can lean on it for a while."
There's still a big battle for her to fight.
Of course, Xiao Yuanyou can help her deal with it and not let her be bothered.
But Xin Yi didn't want to rely on him completely, she wanted many things, and she had to do them herself, so that she could grow.
And he, as long as he stands behind her, helps her check and fill in the gaps, and grows with her.
Xiao Yuanyou went out to ask someone to fetch water, and Xin Yi sat on the couch in a daze.
There were too many truths that filled her mind at once, and Xin Yi felt that her brain was going to explode.
After a while, Xiao Yuanyou came in with water, put it on the side of the bed, and twisted a handkerchief to help Xin Yi wipe his face.
After changing the veil a few times, Xin Yi felt that his heart was not so uncomfortable, and his brain became clear.
She sat there upright, going through everything in her mind again, and even how to deal with it in the face of many elders and uncles next.
After a while, the real fragrance outside came in and returned,
"Madam, the eldest disciple of Xiyun Zhenren of the Discipline Hall asked to see him, he came just now, and he knew that Madame was in the clean face, so he was waiting outside, and he didn't dare to disturb."
Xin Yi straightened the robe on his body, smoothed the creases on the hem of his sleeves, and said slowly,
"The eldest disciple of Xiyun Zhenren? That's the deputy of the Discipline Hall? I didn't see the side goods, so let him go back and tell Xiyun Zhenren and let Zhenren come in person. ”
Her voice was very slow, as if with a warmth soaked in moisture, and as if with the crispness of a young girl.
It stands to reason that it should sound very good, but for some reason, there is an indescribable chill oozing into every word, which makes people's hearts tremble suddenly.
"What? Is Xiyun really busy? From the matter of the future of Chaotianguan, is Xiyun Zhenren still very busy? ”
The eldest disciple of Xiyun Zhenren heard Xin Yi's voice clearly outside, and he didn't dare to go in again to touch his brows, and quietly retreated.
Not only that, on the way back, he saw that the senior uncles of several halls did not come in person, and some of the big disciples around him came over.
If you don't care, just send a little junior sister who is in charge of the sundries in the hall.
Xin Yi waited for a long time, and he didn't wait for Xiyun Zhenren, let alone the other hall masters.
In the evening, the national teacher who came back from outside the city came.
In the former residence of Weiyun Zhenren, Xin Yi turned out some incense sticks from the old things, which were made by Weiyun Zhenren himself in the past.
The incense sticks were scattered, and the national teacher's expression was a little trance.
"Hey, Uncle Shi, you are really a real heart, you have been manipulated for so many years."
"I only found out today how unpopular these uncles are, I think that my uncle has already passed on the news that my nephew is in charge of Chaotianguan things, right?
Today, my nephew said that there was something I wanted them to come over to listen to the announcement, but the uncles haven't come yet, but it's really a good precious body.
How? Even if it is an escrow to look at things, can it be despised? ”
Xin Yi snorted coldly, "Uncle Shi, I really don't know how you have managed things in Guanguan and how you have managed these real people over the years. ”
National Teacher, "......"
Is this a mockery of what he did badly?
He is the master of the view, and he still needs someone to remind him of whether he is doing well?
Besides, she's just an escrow and a junior, isn't it normal for those junior sisters and younger brothers to come?
He remained silent and frowned,
"No, your uncles are the most obedient, and they always arrive immediately."
The implication is that she is not the master, and it is normal not to come, so don't worry about it so much, which hall has nothing to do?
"What's more, you are a disciple of Senior Sister Weiyun, and everyone doesn't look at the monk's face to see the Buddha's face."
Xin Yi sneered in his heart, yes, I don't look at the face of the monk to see the face of the Buddha, but the face of the master is long gone!
The national teacher could feel Xin Yi's gaze swirling around him, his eyes were full of anger, and the national teacher was a little strange.
Even if Xin Yi is not stingy, the whole person still looks peaceful, and he has never been full of anger like this.
Did you get stimulated by going to the dock today?
The National Teacher would never have thought of Weiyun Zhenren's alternative teaching method for Xin Yi.
I don't know what kind of turbulent waves the nephew in front of me has just experienced, and what a shocking secret he has discovered.
"It's a pity that the monk face and Buddha face are not enough in front of all the uncles. I probably think that my nephew and I are just a temporary trustee, and I don't think it matters whether I respect or disrespect. ”
She smiled nonchalantly, "I have to see all my uncles today, but I want to see what kind of faces these uncles have to see to abide by the rules of Chaotianguan." ”
The national teacher immediately said, "This is natural, Wen Yu, you go to the major halls to spread the news, and ask the senior uncles to come over quickly, the senior sister here has something to announce." ”
The man named 'Wen Yu' didn't look at Xin Yi for a moment, turned around and walked out quickly.
It didn't take long for all kinds of 'yes' sounds to be heard outside the door, and the sound of staggered footsteps was gradually moving away.
However, before these footsteps disappeared outside the old residence, I saw Qingfeng rushing in from the outside, and said to Xin Yi anxiously,
"Senior sister, Xiyun Zhenren committed suicide in his room!"
Xin Yi's heart sank, Xiyun Zhenren, as the head of the Discipline Hall, his heart was not ordinary tenacity, and he committed suicide?
She didn't believe it anyway.
What's more, it's such a coincidence!
She couldn't believe that Xiyun Zhenren had died like this.
Xin Yi glanced at the national teacher who was standing not far away in disbelief, his heart suddenly quieted down, and said lightly,
"Spread the news to all the uncles."
The summer days are lengthened by time, the branches and leaves of the tall trees outside the old house rustle in the evening breeze, and the fire-like sunset on the horizon burns like a blood-like color, reflecting on the towering roof of the old house.
The original bleak old residence shines brightly.
When the sky darkened, Makata took people to put the lanterns on one by one, and in an instant, the entire old residence was as bright as day.
Xin Yi didn't go anywhere else, not even to the Sanqing Palace, just waited in his old residence.
She waited for the news of Xiyun Zhenren's suicide to spread to all the halls, and those uncles came to her to ask for an explanation.
Indeed, it is not too late for those real people in charge of the palace to come, including the national teacher, there are five in total, and now three have come.
There were a lot of people from the Discipline Hall.
Xin Yi had a chair moved to sit on the steps under the porch, and the lanterns everywhere reflected everywhere outside the hall, and the expressions on everyone's faces could be seen clearly.
Xiao Yuanyou stood behind Xin Yi and was silent, which made Xin Yi's heart very stable.
As for the national teacher, he stood by the pillar with his hands on his chest and a dark face.
Xin Yi didn't speak, she just silently looked at the people below who were either indignant, or irrelevant, or calm.
The first to attack was Han Yun Zhenren of Taiqing Palace,
"How did Senior Brother Xiyun die, I wonder if Senior Sister can tell you about the real people in charge?"
Han Yunzhen casually and sarcastically called Xin Yi 'Senior Sister'.
Xin Yi got up slightly and bowed to Han Yunzhen,
"I don't deserve to be my uncle's 'senior sister', it's just that if you ask my nephew Xiyun how Zhenren died, I really don't know how he died!"
"Since I came back, I have been in Master's old residence and have never gone out, but I once sent someone to send a message to Uncle Xiyun and all the uncles in the afternoon, saying that there is something important to discuss......
She paused and hooked the corners of her lips, "But it seems that all the senior uncles are very busy and have not come, don't the junior brothers around this Uncle Xiyun know?" ”
She knocked on the armrest of the chair and made a 'tuk-tuk' sound, "Just now there was news that Uncle Xiyun committed suicide?" If you are in doubt, you may wish to assign people from all over the place to check clearly, if you can't find out in the view, you can also let Dali Temple, the Yamen of the Criminal Department come to investigate. ”
"Uncle Han Yun asked me, how do I know?"
Han Yunzhen's beautiful eyes with sharp sword light locked straight at Xin Yi, as if he wanted to find some flaws in her face,
"What will you discuss with us? Even if your master is alive, he is just like us now. ”
She stared at Xin Yi deadly, but, no, she didn't find any flaws.
Xin Yi's cold eyes were full of ridicule, and he looked back at Han Yunzhen's gaze angrily,
"Really? Didn't Uncle Guan tell you? Now Chaotianguan is my substitute for the palm, then I am the master! ”
"After all, these days, everything in the temple is here to give Qingfeng and Mingyue things, I thought everyone already knew, don't you know?"
"Yes, my master is alive, and he is indeed the same as you, I think that the master also told me about your uncles, and I miss it a lot."
"She said that the days in Chaotianguan were the best days, probably she couldn't have imagined that as soon as she left, the juniors and sisters she missed, let alone take care of her apprentices, it would be good if she didn't step on it."
The whole old residence was quiet and silent, and no one dared to answer.
Not only because of Han Yun's mocking questioning today, but also because of his previous disregard for Qingfeng and Mingyue.
Wen Hui and the others bullied Qingfeng and Mingyue, and the national teacher ignored Qingfeng and Mingyue being bullied, do these real people really not know?
Know the pressure.
It's just that no one said a word or two.
Han Yun Zhenren was a little unbearable, thin droplets of water appeared on her fair face, although Weiyun Zhenren and she are not the same master, they have been very good since childhood.
Only later...... Her eyes looked at the silent national teacher on the side.
"If it weren't for you being aggressive, how could Xiyun Zhenren kill himself? It must be you who pretended to be in charge of the affairs on your behalf, and attacked the people of the Discipline Hall, Xiyun Zhenren couldn't bear to be humiliated by the juniors, so he killed himself shamelessly! ”
Han Yunzhen asked Xin Yi in a loud voice.
Xin Yi snapped, grabbed the deadbolt that was placed on the armrest of the chair, and slammed it on the ground.
"It's the first time I've heard that it's humiliating to call someone over to discuss matters, isn't that the right to take charge of things?"
"Although you are real people, but you are in Chaotianguan, shouldn't you abide by the rules of Chaotianguan?"
"Besides, when did I become aggressive? The breeze and the bright moon are here, and the people who serve around the uncle are also here, so I want to ask, which link, which person, which sentence is aggressive? ”
Qingfeng and Mingyue stepped forward and saluted respectfully,
"We are everywhere we see the big disciples around my uncle, who are kind and talkative, and have never been disrespectful, and I also ask you to testify."
Xin Yi curled the corners of his lips,
"What else does Uncle Han Yun want to ask? I am indeed a junior, but since Uncle Guan has given me the right to take care of the things in the view, should you cooperate? ”
"Is this what the law of the view of the heavens says? Teacher? You tell me? ”
She moved her gaze to the national teacher, looking humbly asking for advice.
Seeing that the national teacher couldn't hide from the silence, he could only say,
"That's true, when Japan thought it was going to be retreated, and Weiwei was the eldest disciple of the senior sister, the senior sister of Chaotianguan, it was reasonable for her to take care of it."
Xin Yi nodded,
"Thank you, Uncle for speaking fairly, then I want to ask, what is the Discipline Hall used for? The precept hall is used to discipline the upper and lower disciples in the precept view. ”
"All the rewards and punishments are from here, Xiyun Zhenren should be clear about the rights of the person in charge, not only did he not obey it, but he just sent a big disciple over, is he in accordance with the rules?"
"But it's wrong for you to force your uncle like this, you are just acting for you now, and when the national teacher really passes on the position to you in the future, will there still be a place for us to stand at that time?"
Xin Yi stood up and glared at Han Yun Zhenren,
"What do you mean by forced killing? I didn't see Uncle Xiyun today, he ignored me, he didn't even take half a step in front of me, he died, and I forced him to kill?
Corrupt officials should also pretend to pay attention to the conclusive evidence, Master, you are worse than corrupt officials, what evidence do you have to prove that Uncle Xiyun's death is related to me? ”
"How did I force him to kill? I'm just calling someone to come over to discuss things, or I'm forcing them to kill? ”
"Uncle Shi treats those disciples of yours the same way? Then I really feel sorry for them. ”
"Taiqing Palace doesn't say that it is the same as the Discipline Hall, it is also a hall with strong incense, so Uncle Zu is not afraid that Master Zu will come to you in the middle of the night?"
"If you have evidence, you will say that I am forced to kill, and if you have no evidence, you are slandering my reputation."
Xiao Yuanyou's cold voice sounded suddenly,
"Real people might as well tell me how Uchiko forced him to kill."
Xin Yi stood up even more angrily, stood on the steps with his hands behind his back, and looked at the people below,
"Uncle Shi, I didn't do anything wrong, and I wasn't afraid of ghosts knocking on the door, so do you dare to investigate this matter to the end?"
Han Yun Zhenren was dizzy by Xin Yi's disdainful gaze, originally she felt guilty about Weiyun Zhenren's affairs, and now, hum.
She originally thought that Chaotianguan had happened too much recently, and as a royal Taoist temple, both Taoism and Buddhism were staring at their position.
Once the matter is really poked out, once it is revealed, it will inevitably be known to the whole world at that time, and the position of Chaotianguan as a royal Taoist temple will be in jeopardy.
What is the reason for the exuberance of the incense of Chaotianguan? is to have the identity of the royal family, and the position of the national teacher.
Once the ugly thing of Chaotianguan is exposed, won't those people who are eyeing Chaotianguan rush up and eat Chaotianguan?
She thought that if it was really related to Xin Yi, it would be solved in private at that time, and there would be many ways to solve it, and it would be a big deal to expel Xin Yi.
Of course, she still wanted to keep a low profile on this matter, Xin Yi admitted her mistake, and handed over the Precept Hall to Senior Brother Xiyun's disciples when the time came.
didn't expect Xin Yi to be so aggressive, and she felt that she was not wrong at all when she was aggressive.
It's really good and bad!
"Just investigate, don't let the major halls come out, report this matter directly to Your Majesty, and let the three divisions come to interrogate."
Han Yunzhen said sharply.
"What Uncle Shi said is that the three divisions came to trial, the people who have seen Uncle Xiyun today, the places that Uncle Xiyun went to before he died, who he has seen, and what he has said, all of them can be found out clearly, and when the time comes, Uncle Xi Yun can see with his own eyes and listen to it with his own ears, whether Uncle Xiyun's death has anything to do with me!"
Xin Yi's eyes narrowed slightly, looking directly at Han Yun Zhenren, and even with a hint of persecution, he asked, "What do you think?" ”
"No...... Don't ......" A voice on the side interrupted the confrontation between Xin Yi and Han Yun Zhenren.
The person who spoke was the national teacher standing on the edge of the pillar, and he would walk to Xin Yi's side,
"Everyone, listen to me, no one wants to see such a tragedy happen to Senior Brother Xiyun, everyone calm down, Senior Sister Han Yun, why are you so angry."
"Weiwei is a disciple of the senior sister, although she has never entered the degree, but she is still a person who looks at the sky."
"No matter what the matter is, it is better to deal with it in the view."
"It's not good-looking in front of His Majesty, and it's also a joke for others to laugh at."
What he said was exactly what Han Yunzhen was thinking.
Xin Yi sneered in his heart, come out to make peace at this time? It's late!
What's more, she knows what happened to Xiyun Zhenren's death.
That day in the secret road, Xiyun Zhenren thought about asking the national teacher to help him untie the spell on his body.
His handle was pinched in the hands of the national teacher, isn't it to be born and die?
She slowly raised her head, her gaze swept over those people, and then moved to the national teacher, and turned her back,
"Now I finally know why the master is obviously the senior sister, but he has no position as a national teacher, and the position of the master of the Chaotian Temple."
"I finally understand why she left the place where she grew up, and why she misses it, but never wants to return."
"Just because of your group of brothers and sisters, you take your face, your status as a view of the sky, and everything too seriously, but you have lost your nature as a human being."
"Since you can ignore the junior sister and senior sister who grew up together, then, I'm just an outsider who has been with you for a short time, junior nephew, why should I have so many scruples?"
She turned around and turned to everyone,
"Today, I must go to His Majesty to report this matter, I have already sent someone to Dali Temple, to the Criminal Department, to Jing Zhaoyi, and even to the palace to report."
"Today's name of killing, I will clear up no matter what."
It was like a spring thunder sounding, like a heavy hammer smashed into the hearts of the real people in the hall, and the changes in the complexion of the individual were wonderful.
"I even had a vague guess, but I didn't dare to resort to it, and I didn't dare to say it until now."
"All of them are your persecution, and none of you can escape."
As soon as these words came out, there were bubbling exclamations in the courtyard.
is the national teacher who has always been calm and relaxed, and this will also directly slip his feet and prop his hand on the back of the chair beside him.
Han Yunzhen's heart was obscure, and from the beginning of Xin Yi's first question, her heart fluctuated.
She really didn't expect that this nephew, who had always seemed to have no rules, would be so smart and wise.
Come to think of it, everything today is within her calculations, but I don't know if Xiyun Zhenren's death is not within her calculations.
This link by link, first made everyone excited, as if they were in a weak position, and finally turned over and hit everyone with a hammer. Received miraculous results.
The atmosphere outside the entire hall seemed to be ignited by the residual heat of this summer night, and the thunderbolt exploded.
The precept hall has come to the old residence, and the eldest disciple of Xiyun Zhenren will stand up in anger,
"Master is in charge of the Discipline Hall, and his temperament is a little irritable, because he must be majestic, so the whole person looks gloomy."
"He told me that no one has ever shown kindness to him, but Weiyun Zhenren has helped him."
"Over the years, he has often said a sentence, that is, let me wait for the disciples to be motivated, because he doesn't know if he will leave in the future, if we are not motivated, will it be the same as the disciples of Weiyun Zhenren, others will step on it, or will be illuminated."
He smiled bitterly, "Now, the disciple finally knows, there is no stepping on it, there is no care, only ignorance." ”
"His death was ignored, just because he wanted to save face and couldn't fall."
"Disciple, please report this matter directly to Your Majesty, and ask the court to investigate, after all, the Royal Taoist Temple is said to be the master, but in fact it is still a slave!"
His words directly darkened the faces of those originally silent Zhangdian real people.
The royal Taoist temple, the incense is prosperous, these real people have always been respected, and they have always felt superior to other colleagues.
Now he is called broken, but he is only a half-slave and half-master......
Xin Yi had indeed asked Xiao Yuanyou's black-clothed guards to go to the city to report the news.
People from all over the place came quickly, and the people from Dali Temple went directly to see Xiao Yuanyou's head.
Han Yun is really humane, "Lord Xiao is the son-in-law of Master Xin's nephew, so shouldn't this case be avoided?" ”
The officials of Dali Temple looked inexplicable,
"This teacher is too much...... Do you have no rules for looking at the sky? Don't you see the Lord and don't see it? ”
"Our Dali Temple has very good rules, and no matter what happens when you see your boss, you have to see it."
Han Yun Zhenren, "......"
She just wanted to strike first, who didn't know how powerful Xiao Yuanyou was, but she didn't want him to participate in this.
People from other places also came quickly, even in the palace, it was Cui Hai who came.
