When the man saw that it was Yuan Rui, he was surprised: "His Royal Highness King Changle, such a coincidence!" The little monk is about to go to the Tingwei Mansion to find you! "It turned out to be a dust monk.

Yuan Rui was a little puzzled: "What is the master looking for this king?" Master Jueyuan, haven't they already been released? ”

Lichen smiled awkwardly: "Yes!" Be! His Royal Highness rescued Master Jueyuan several times, and the little monk was rude to His Highness, so the little monk specially apologized to His Highness. The little monk has no other ability, but there is a lot of brute strength, and in the future, His Royal Highness has any use for the little monk, just send someone to Dinglin Temple to give an order. ”

Yuan Rui: "Where is it, Master Jueyuan, they have not killed anyone, and they should be acquitted." However, the master is not from Yongning Temple, why would he do this for Master Jueyuan? ”

Dust: "Oh, it's not a big deal, the little monk was not a good person before, he fought and killed on the rivers and lakes, everyone also gave the little monk a nickname called 'Bai Wuchang', ten years ago he was betrayed by his companions and was hunted down by the enemy, and at the critical moment, fortunately Master Jueyuan rescued him to pick up a life, and later learned the identity of the little monk, and the master still did not give up the little monk, it can be said that the life of the little monk was given by Master Jueyuan." ”

Yuan Rui: "I see, why did the master become a monk in Dinglin Temple instead of Yongning Temple?" ”

Lichen: "The little monk also wants to stay in Yongning Temple, in case there is something to fight and help it's convenient, Your Highness, you say yes." But Master Jueyuan just refused to accept me, saying that as long as you have good thoughts in your heart, it will be the same wherever you practice. How can it be the same? The little monk became a monk to take care of and protect the master to repay his kindness, so how can he repay his kindness when he practices at home? ”

Although this dust speaks vulgarly and behaves recklessly, he has to be said to be a person of temperament, and he is much more cute than some hypocrites. Coupled with his mouthful of a small monk, it sounded particularly joyful, and Yuan Rui couldn't help but have a good impression of him: "So master, you went to Dinglin Temple?" ”

Lichen: "Yes, there are so many temples in Luoyang, and the little monk has found dozens of them, and finally the master of the law of Dinglin Temple does not dislike the little monk as a rough person and is willing to accept the little monk as an apprentice." I originally thought that everyone is a monk, and it is more convenient to take care of each other, who knows that it is still too late to come, that day when the little monk rushed to Yongning Temple, Master Jueyuan and they have been taken away, fortunately, there is Your Royal Highness, you take action, otherwise the monk of the ten years is in vain. ”

Unconsciously, the two of them had arrived at the Changle Palace, and they said goodbye to Yuan Rui, and they didn't walk a few steps and turned back and said: "If Your Highness encounters trouble, remember to come to the little monk, the little monk's martial arts are good." Yuan Rui smiled and nodded.

Without taking two steps, Lichen turned around again and blessed: "You must remember!" ”

Yuan Rui had to respond seriously: "It must be, don't be too troublesome when the master comes." ”

Only then did he leave with peace of mind.

A few days later, the trappers who were responsible for chasing Qin Da Niu in their hometown also came back, bringing back Qin Da Niu's old father and mother, but Qin Da Niu was nowhere to be seen. These two elders only have one son of Qin Da Niu, because they don't want him to repeat the fate of being poor in farming, so he asked him to go to Luoyang to find Qin Zhi, a distant relative of the clan who has never been masked, to make an errand.

Zhou Zhengzhi tried the two repeatedly, but he never got the slightest useful news, and the second elder didn't even know that Qin Daniu would martial arts. They are all honest countrymen, and they have never even seen a county order in their lives, and now when Zhou Zhengzhi of Chao Jiuqing asked him personally, he was so frightened that he didn't dare to look at him when he fell on the ground and looked at him, whether it had anything to do with the case or not, he explained everything he could think of. Zhou Zhengzhi heard Qin's father talk about Qin Daniu's egg digging when he was a child, and he was afraid that he would be endless, so he had no choice but to order someone to put the second elder in prison for the time being.

The jailer who escorted the second elder was called Mu Shuiqing, who had been a jailer for nearly 20 years, and he was quite idle on weekdays, so he was still just a jailer for most of his life. When the three of them passed by Qin Zhi's cage, Mu Shuiqing half-jokingly said, "Father-in-law Qin, your relatives have come in to accompany you!" ”

Seeing that the unkempt old eunuch in front of him was the noble man they had been desperately stammering, and now he had fallen into such a deplorable state, he knelt in front of Qin Zhi with a plop, kowtowed and cried: "Father-in-law, we can't stop you!" You've suffered. ”

After Qin Zhi learned that they were Qin Daniu's parents, his grief and indignation surged into his heart, and he pointed at them and scolded: "I was kind enough to get an errand for your son, but you repay me like this, what kind of heart do you have?" Don't get out of here! Don't let me see you again! ”

Mu Shuiqing also dragged the two of them up impatiently: "Don't act here, you three don't act here, you know best whether you are guilty or not!" "Pushed the second elder to the cage that belonged to them. When he turned around and passed by Qin Zhi's cage, he was stopped by Qin Zhi: "Can you take a step to speak?" ”

Mu Shuiqing looked at him suspiciously: "I warn you, don't want to play any tricks?" ”

Qin Zhi raised his hands that were locked by the shackles, deliberately stretched out his left hand, which only had two fingers left, and shook it gently: "I'm like this, what are you worried about?" ”

Mu Shuiqing was right to think about it, so he slowly approached Qin Zhi, but his right hand always held the handle of the long knife hanging from his waist, in case Qin Zhi played tricks, he could draw the knife in time to protect himself.

Qin Zhi whispered to Mu Shuiqing: "Do you know what the villain is responsible for when he is in the palace?" "It's kind of mysterious.

But Mu Shuiqing's fierce tone immediately destroyed the sense of mystery that Qin Zhi had finally created: "I only know that no matter how majestic you were before, you have to listen to us when you enter this prison!" ”

Qin Zhi smiled awkwardly: "Of course, of course!" The villain is in charge of the royal treasury in the palace, and the adults also know that there are thousands of royal treasures, and occasionally no one will find a few pieces. Don't hide it from adults, the villain has also collected a lot of treasures over the years, if the adults like it, they can take any one more than they have been here for a few years. ”

Mu Shuiqing has been on an errand for so many years, of course he knows that the baby is not taken for nothing: "Who doesn't want money, but the premise is to spend it." ”

Qin Zhi: "As long as the adult does the villain a small favor, there will be no danger." The villain has some friendship with the Queen Mother's side of Mao Qingyu Mao Gonggong on weekdays, he will go to Sitong City every few days to purchase some novelties to offer the Queen Mother, adults only need to find an opportunity to hand over this thing to Mao Gonggong, ask him to transfer it to the Queen Mother's side He Gu, then the Queen Mother will naturally let the villain out, the villain will not forget the adult's life-saving grace after going out, must be grateful! ”

Mu Shuiqing took the thing handed by Qin Zhi, and saw that it was a rag torn off his clothes, with three eyes painted with blood stains on it, and he was a little unconvinced: "With this rag, you can go out?" ”

Qin Zhi no longer explained: "Why don't you try it, even if you don't succeed, you won't lose anything to your adult, right?" ”

Mu Shuiqing half-convinced and accepted the cloth and warned Qin Zhi: "If I know that you are deliberately entertaining, you are good-looking!" He turned and walked away slowly, glancing at the light from time to time.

And Qin Zhi watched Mu Shuiqing leave while smiling.

In the next few days, because the murderer could not be caught for a long time, and Qin Zhi and the others insisted that they did not know about it, there was no update on the progress of Hu Xiude's case. Hu Yuan and Hu Bizhu sent people to ask for questions in three days, and Yuan Rui couldn't think of a better way than to send more people to hunt down and increase the intensity of the reward. This Ji Rui sat under the big tree in the courtyard of the Tingwei Mansion in a daze, and he didn't even notice Zhou Zhengzhi approaching.

"What is Your Highness thinking?" Zhou Zhengyi's words startled Yuan Rui.

Yuan Rui: "It's nothing, there have been a lot of changes recently, it's just a little touching." It's as if there are two giant hands that are always pushing things in a bad direction, and no matter how hard we try, we can't change the outcome. First Yu Chenglie rebelled, and now it is Hu Xiude's case. ”

Zhou Zhengzhi: "Your Highness, don't think so, just take the Hu Xiude case this time, if His Highness hadn't stopped Hu Yuan from killing people and making trouble with Monk Lichen, I'm afraid that there would have been a riot in Luoyang City at this moment, so manpower can still change the situation." ”

Yuan Rui was relieved after hearing this: "That's right, you said that there are really everyone in this world, and they are also monks, both masters of Jueyuan and monks, as well as reckless men like monks." ”

Zhou Zhengzhi: "Indeed, today's monks are indeed uneven. ”

While he was talking, the official came to report, and the Queen Mother sent someone to inquire about the case. Yuan Rui and the others were shocked, but the Queen Mother couldn't wait.

Outside the gate of the mansion, Aunt He broke in without waiting for the two to greet each other, and when she saw the two, she asked: "The Queen Mother asked the two adults, why have the murderers not been caught after so many days?" ”

Yuan Rui and the others had to say something like they were trying to arrest and believed that there would be good news soon.

He Gu naturally didn't eat this: "I heard that you also arrested the murderer's parents, do they have any confessions?" ”

Zhou Zhengzhi: "According to the minister's judgment, the murderer's parents should not know about the murderer's murder. ”

He Gu's face sank: "Don't they know where the murderer might be hiding?" ”

They had already considered this point, but they didn't find any trace of Qin Daniu in those places, so they had to answer truthfully.

He Gu interrupted them: "Don't say it, the Queen Mother ordered me to personally interrogate the prisoners and lead the way!" ”

After the two took He Gu to the prison, He Gu turned back to them and said, "The Queen Mother has an order and orders me to interrogate the prisoner alone, you should avoid it first." ”

When Yuan Rui and the others left with a group of jailers, He Gu came to Qin Zhi, took out a rag from his sleeve and threw it on the ground: "What do you mean by asking someone to bring this to me?" It was the piece of cloth with the three-eyed pattern that Qin Zhituo handed over.
