Chapter 805: Zhi Qi Asks to See
This group of robbers who were ambushed in Lao Ye Ling was really good, and he actually followed the young handlebar all the way back to Huiji, until he saw the war horse carrying the man in white to the county air office from a distance, and then he stomped his feet hatefully and went out of the city.
Maybe you have already guessed that the young handlebar style of using a clever trick to deceive the robbers and capturing the leader of the bandits alive is Li Jing.
When Li Jing captured the man in white alive and returned to Huiji, Don't General Cai Wu led the official army to escort the dust through Lao Ye Ling smoothly and arrived at Dongjiao City safely.
When Wei Huang heard that Li Jing's trip was a great success, he was overjoyed, and immediately interrogated the white-clothed bandit leader with Li Jing in the court of the government office.
Although the white-clothed bandit leader is smart, not only became Li Jing's pawn, but also became Li Jing's prisoner, but his mouth was very hard. No matter how coerced and seduced Wei Huangru, he never said a word, Wei Huang had no choice but to order someone to put him in a cell and watch him carefully.
Li Jing was inconvenient to stay in Huiji City for a long time because of Yang Guang's royal order, so after receiving a reply from Cai Wu in Dongzhu City, and learning that Chen had safely lived in the Gu family's ancestral house, he proposed to Wei Huang that he would personally escort the white-clothed bandit leader back to Guangling, and Yang Guang personally sent it down.
On the day when Li Jing was about to leave from Huiji, Wei Huang suddenly received a report from a sergeant at the county guard office, saying that two monks had come from outside the government office and asked to see the county guard.
"They didn't give their names, where did they practice?" Wei Huang glanced at Li Jing, who was ready to go, and asked.
"The monk at the head claimed to be the abbot of Tiantai Temple on Tiantai Mountain, and said that he had something urgent to ask you to see."
Hearing that the person who came was actually the long-awaited Master Zhiqi, Wei Huang quickly exchanged glances with Li Jing, and hurriedly got up and ordered the sergeant to lead the way, and greeted Li Jing out of the door of the government office.
Outside the door of the government office, there were two dusty monks standing. Li Jing recognized at a glance that it was Master Zhiqi who was the leader, and hurriedly stepped forward, clasped his fists and said: "The last general has been waiting for the master for many days, and he doesn't want to meet the master here today, Li Jing is polite." ”
There was no trace of a smile on Master Zhiqi's face, and he clasped his palms and saluted: "The poor monk is here, the original department has something to ask Wei Junshou for something, and he has to meet the general here, fortunately." ”
Li Jing had finished introducing Wei Huang and Zhiqi, and welcomed Zhiqi and the accompanying initiators into the council hall of the government office to speak.
As soon as they sat down in the conference hall, Zhiqi explained his intention to Wei Huang straight to the point: "When the poor monk and apprentice were wandering outside, they suddenly received a report from a Buddhist monk and friend, saying that the Jingxu master of Jiankang Tongguangni Temple had passed away not long ago, and the imperial court planned to hold a grand funeral for Jingxu Shitai. Jingxu Shitai had a number of contacts with the poor monks before his death, and studied Buddhism together, which was regarded as a friend of the poor monks, so after the poor monks heard the news outside, they planned to go north to Jiankang, and went to see off Jingxu Shitai in person, but they were stopped before they left the boundary under the jurisdiction of Huiji County, according to the officials and soldiers guarding the checkpoints, His Royal Highness the King of Jin has ordered that the passes in the south of the Yangtze River are strictly sealed, and no one is allowed to walk between the state capitals without holding the official disc issued by the government. Therefore, the poor monk came to see the county guard, and asked the county guard to give the poor monk a pass official plate, so that the poor monk could rush to Jiankang and do his best. ”
Listening to Zhiqi explain his intention in person, Wei Huang and Li Jing were secretly happy in their hearts, thinking: Jiankang and Guangling are only separated by a river, today Zhiqi took the initiative to come to the door and asked to go to Jiankang to send a funeral for the monks, wouldn't it be possible to take advantage of him to go north, persuade him to cross the river to Guangling at the invitation of Yang Guang? In this way, isn't the errand between Yang Guangjiao and the two done?
"I have indeed received an order two days ago that no one shall be given a disc until he has been questioned in detail by the local authorities, and that the official of the state who issued the disc shall also be punished if the person is found to have committed misconduct afterwards. Therefore, although this official has the intention to fulfill the master's intentions, he has no choice but to award the master this official dish only based on the reasons that the master just said. Previously, Wei Huang had heard Li Jing introduce that when he first went to Tiantai Mountain to meet Zhiqi, Zhiqi did not explicitly agree to Yang Guang inviting him to Guangling to preach the Dharma, so he kept an eye on it, so he said in embarrassment.
Sure enough, Master Zhiqi was in a hurry to rush to Jiankang to send the funeral of Master Jingxu, and he was unaware of Wei Huang's thoughts, and when he heard that he was reluctant to issue the official disc, he immediately turned to Li Jing, clasped his hands and said: "General Li, when you went up the mountain to meet the poor monk last time, didn't you bring a handwritten letter from the King of Jin to the poor monk?" It's a pity that two months ago, the poor monk went down the mountain to find Dujing's senior brother, and he didn't bring the letter of the King of Jin inviting the poor monk to Guangling to say the Dharma, so he asked the general to testify for the poor monk, and the poor monk was willing to go to Guangling to say the Dharma at the invitation of His Royal Highness, and at the same time, please also allow the poor monk to rush to Jiankang to see off the monk of Jingxu before going to Guangling. ”
Li Jing was on the side, and saw clearly the little trick used by Wei Huang to induce Zhi Qi to take the initiative to agree to Yang Guangzhi's invitation, and secretly laughed in his heart that Zhi Qian was in a hurry, and he really got into Wei Huang's situation, but he didn't dare to have the slightest neglect of Zhi Huang in action, so he hurriedly got up and returned the salute with his fists, and helped Zhi Qi to intercede with Wei Huang: "The last general can testify for Master Zhiqi, and the last general will come to eastern Zhejiang, and he is indeed ordered by the king to invite the master to go north to Guangling to talk about the scriptures. ”
Wei Huang had been ordered by the king a few days ago, Yang Guang changed his order to replace Li Jing, responsible for urging Zhi Qi to go north to Guangling to say the truth, now seeing that Li Jing confirmed in person that there was indeed Yang Guang invited Zhi Qi to go to Guangling to say the law, naturally refused to let go of this good opportunity to curry favor with Yang Guang, so he immediately changed his smiling face, and said to Zhi Qi and Li Jing: "Since His Royal Highness the King of Jin personally invited Master Zhi Qi to go north to Guangling, this official should be accompanied, so I asked the master to stay in the county guard office for a while, and when the official temporarily entrusted his official affairs to his subordinates, he was willing to personally lead the troops to escort the master north to Guangling." ”
Zhi Qi didn't expect Wei Huang to offer to personally accompany him to the north, and it was only then that he faintly realized that he might have fallen into the trap he deliberately set, but the words that he agreed to Yang Guang's invitation had been said, and there was no reason to take it back, so he had to recite the Buddha's name with a forced smile, expressing his willingness to obey Wei Huang's arrangement.
At that moment, Wei Huang paid all the official duties in the county to Changshi and Sima Cuisine, because considering that Li Jing escorted the white-clothed bandit leader to accompany him, in order to prevent accidents, he specially brought a whole battalion of officers and soldiers, led by him personally, and set off from Huiji two days later, all the way to the direction of Jiankang in the northwest.
