Chapter 711: The Old Monk's Ears



"What kind of place is this? Where are you taking me? ”

bumpy all the way, Zheng Xiaozhang's bones were about to fall apart, and his head was even more groggy. The carriage stopped, Zheng Tong and Fang Ming escorted him out of the car, the sunset was thick in the west, surrounded by a black pine forest, in front of a dilapidated temple, there were only a dozen guards around, except for Zheng Pufang, Fang Ming, and Zheng Tong, the other old departments were nowhere to be seen.

"Don't be alarmed, Yan Wangfu sent Zhang Xuan to lead the army to pursue, and the two generals, Zheng Lun and Sun Ruhe, each led a military horse to lure them away and cover his father's successful escape. We took a trail, walked through this woods, and walked another sixty miles to Danzhou. ”

After Zheng Pufang finished speaking, he glanced at Zheng Tong and Fang Ming, and the two carried Zheng Xiaozhang into the temple.

Zheng Xiaozhang didn't know where he was, but what Zheng Pufang said must be false, Danzhou was in the northeast of Youzhou, and they had been walking in the direction of due east, so they went to Jizhou instead of Danzhou. As the governor of Youzhou, it is impossible for the palace to "defect" suddenly, and it is impossible for the palace not to react, and the pursuers will definitely come.

Zheng Pufang said that Zheng Lun and Sun Ruhe led the army to lure the pursuers away and fought for him a chance to escape, but this statement is simply untenable! With the strength of the palace, they really tried their best to chase after them, Zheng Lun and Sun Ruhe had no chance to lead them away, the model army was just an empty shelf, and Zheng Lun and Sun Ruhe were not famous generals who could fight in battle.

Before entering the small temple, Zheng Xiaozhang glanced at Zheng Pufang and saw a defeated face.

This small temple is not large, and the treasure hall is dilapidated, but the flowers and trees are neatly built, and the tidy is also very tidy, and it is obviously inhabited. The guards searched the inside and outside, found nothing unusual, and were about to beckon everyone into the back hall.

Zheng Pufang jumped out, waved his hand to stop everyone, pressed the knife into the back hall, and shouted in a sharp voice: "Are all people dead, are there any who can breathe?" ”

Seeing no response, he drew his knife and smashed a water tank in the courtyard, and two small fish kept in the tank flowed out and fluttered on the ground.

"Amitabha." With the sound of praising the Buddha, a middle-aged monk turned out of the corner door on the side of the hall, wearing a washed white straight jacket, stepped forward, bent down and picked up two small fish.

At his side was a small novice, holding a bowl filled with water. The monk put the fish into the bowl one by one, wiped his hands, and motioned for the little novice to take them to another water tank and release them. Little Shami is seven or eight years old, and his long pink is cute, but his eyes are unusually bright, and his eyes are so sharp that people dare not face them.

"It turns out that there are two living people, so why shouldn't you answer?"

The monk said: "The old monk's ear is back, what are you talking about, donor, please say it again." ”

"Hey, you're an old thing, you're not old, what are you pretending to be old? There is a noble man outside, go and prepare hot water, and get some soup and rice, forget it, the soup and rice will be free, and the clear soup and little water will not be able to enter the mouth, so get hot water. ”

After Zheng Pufang finished speaking, he walked to the door and waved his hand outside, Zheng Tong and Fang Ming walked in with Zheng Xiaozhang, sat down in the apse, and made an appointment for a cup of tea, but saw a little novice walking in with a monk who was not old holding hot water.

Zheng Xiaozhang glanced at the monk and was shocked, the person had already stood up.

The monk put down the hot water basin and asked the head to salute, and Zheng Xiaozhang hurriedly returned the salute to the monk.

The monk smiled and asked, "Why did you fall into a cage today and become someone else's fish and meat?" ”

Zheng Xiaozhang said: "I don't cultivate morality, I should have this report." ”

The monk said: "If you don't cultivate virtue, you will be suspicious, and you will give up your own heart, so that people can take advantage of it." ”

Zheng Xiaozhang sighed and asked, "Do I still have a chance to turn back?" ”

The monk said: "The sea of bitterness is boundless, and the shore is turned back. ”

Zheng Pufang listened to the more the two of them talked, the more wrong it became, and he pressed the sword in his hand and asked the monk, "Who are you?" ”

The monk smiled and asked, "You don't know me?" ”

Zheng Pufang was taken aback, took two steps back and was about to draw the knife, but saw the little novice raise his hand and aim a swarthy iron guy at him, Zheng Pufang gasped, and the hand holding the knife no longer dared to move. He recognized that thing, it was the treasure of the town house of the two special institutions in Youzhou, the right wing of the pro-army and the internal security office-the six-branch rapid-fire repeating crossbow.

This machine crossbow can fire six crossbow arrows in a row, the rate of fire is extremely fast, within ten steps, no one can escape, it is the killing weapon of the right compartment and the internal security office, if the crossbow arrow is quenched with poison, it is even more terrifying.

"You, who the hell are you?" Zheng Pufang thought to himself that he was powerless to avoid this repeating crossbow, and his arrogance suddenly disappeared, and he forced himself to calm down. He felt that the middle-aged monk in front of him was a little familiar, so he asked.

"You don't know him? It's no wonder that he has been hiding from the world for several years, not to mention suddenly becoming a monk again. Zheng Xiaozhang smiled, his words were ridiculous, since this monk appeared angry, he broke the last trace of illusion about Zheng Pufang.

"He is the Qin manager who single-handedly created the right wing." After Zheng Xiaozhang finished speaking, his eyes slipped around. He was puzzled by something, Qin Mo's sudden appearance here must have come for him, he shouldn't be alone, but where is his person hiding? Is it just this little novice with a crossbow in his hand?

“…… You are Qin Mo, how did you become a monk? ”

The monk smiled faintly: "I dare not create the right compartment with one hand, and it is King Yan who creates the right compartment with the other hand, and the poor monk does not dare to plunder the beauty." ”

After confirming the true identity of the monk in front of him, Zheng Pufang sneered: "You are always so sneaky in doing things in the right compartment, do you think you can stop me with this thing?" ”

"You can give it a try." Xiao Shami replied coldly, his eyes were so sharp that Zheng Pufang didn't dare to look at each other.

“…… If you kill one of me, can you kill all of us? ”

"Why not?"

It was Zheng Tong who spoke, and after speaking, he smiled slightly at Fang Ming beside him, who hadn't figured out what was going on, Zheng Tong had already drawn his knife and slashed over, the knife was so fast, no less than a professional killer, Fang Ming fell down without saying a word.

Zheng Tong succeeded in one blow, and coldly ordered the left and right guards: "Don't leave one, kill." ”

The guards inside and outside the hall were immediately divided into two groups and slashed each other, and those loyal to Zheng Tong's side had an absolute advantage, and they achieved an overwhelming advantage in an instant. After Zheng Tong slashed down the last recalcitrant resistant, he walked towards Zheng Pufang with a bloody sword, and stood on his feet with two other guards, sandwiching Zheng Pufang in the center and sealing off all his retreats.

Zheng Pufang's face was completely lost, he wanted to run away, but he was forced by Xiao Shami's crossbow arrows, and he didn't dare to move after all. Qin Mo nodded, and the two guards got off Zheng Pufang's knife and pressed him to the ground.

Zheng Tong took the knife and pleaded guilty to Zheng Xiaozhang: "Concealing your identity and deceiving the head of the family deserves death." Zheng Xiaozhang helped Zheng Tong up and sighed: "It's all for King Yan, there is no need to do this." ”

Hearing that Zheng Tong was a person from the right wing, Zheng Pufang raised his head and shouted unwillingly: "I don't believe it, I don't believe it, how can you be a person from the right wing, I don't believe it." ”

His face was completely pale, and his lips were purple, and they were as soft as frost beating eggplant. He tried his best to buy Zheng Tong, so as to spy on Zheng Xiaozhang's every move, thinking that he would win the battle, but he didn't expect that he was blindly busy for a busy circle, and his every move was under Qin Mo's surveillance.

At the right time, a sturdy monk strode into the main hall and reported: "The Saber Army has arrived. Zheng Xiaozhang was shocked, Qin Mo said it was okay, and asked, "Who is leading the troops?" Answer: "It's me, Li Guotai." But seeing a plainclothes man enter the hall with his head held high, he bowed down to Qin Mo, Qin Mo smiled: "The idlers in the mountains and fields are not worthy of such a big gift from Li Dutong." Li Guotai said: "Guotai is cultivated by the general manager, and he dare not forget his roots." Only then did Qin Mo help him up, pointed at Zheng Xiaozhang and said, "Manager Zheng is eating people and framing people, you have to identify grievances for him." ”

Li Guotai and Zheng Xiaozhang saluted and said, "If it weren't for Chief Manager Qin to wake up, I would have almost injured the Chief Manager by mistake." ”

Zheng Xiaozhang said with a smile: "Manager Qin, how long do you want me to be confused, what is going on?" ”

Qin Mo took out a list from his sleeve and handed it to Li Guotai, saying, "These people are all involved. Li Guotai called his assistant: "Control it all, and wait for Chief Qin to return to the city for interrogation slowly." ”

Xiao Shami put away the crossbow and said to Li Guotai: "This case is under the custody of the Internal Security Department, and this person is still in the custody of the capital." ”

Li Guotai nodded and said to Qin Mo, "Congratulations to the chief manager for accepting a high apprentice." With an order, everyone took Zheng Pufang down, put him in steel cuffs and shackles, and was about to take him away, but Xiao Shami said slowly, walked in front of Zheng Pufang, showed the guy in his hand, and said, "It's a fake." Zheng Pufang was annoyed and angry: "Since it's fake, why don't you say it earlier, you kid, you are so dishonest!" ”

Everyone laughed, it was getting late, Zhang Xuan was still chasing Zheng Lun and Sun Ruhe outside, after the model army was dispersed, there were stragglers everywhere, and it was not peaceful, so it was decided to stay for one night and leave. Qin Mo led everyone to the side hall, although the house was dilapidated, it was clean, and the guards boiled soup and brought dry food. Zheng Xiaozhang couldn't let go of it in his heart, and insisted on asking to understand, Li Guotai was also very interested in everything Qin Mo was doing now, he claimed to know everything about every grass and tree in Youzhou, but he was deceived by Qin Mo, and he was very frustrated in his heart.

Qin Mo took a sip of tea, turned around the rosary, and said lightly: "The two of you must have heard of the surname Zhaowu Jiu." ”
