Chapter 60: Persuasion

In Zhang Baoer's view, Cen Shaobai at this time is like a gambler, and he is the kind of gambler who loses red-eyed, pinning his hopes on this desperate bet. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Maybe he didn't even think about it, what if he missed?

Zhang Baoer didn't know what to say, but when it came to it, she blamed herself for talking too much that night, and she had to say anything about doing business, which is good, Cen Shaobai went completely crazy.

Zhang Bao'er didn't speak, but Cen Shaobai didn't intend to let him go, looked at him and asked, "Brother Zhang, what is your opinion?" Tell me about it? ”

Zhang Bao'er wanted to pour cold water on Cen Shaobai, but looking at his fanatical gaze, he changed his words again: "Cen Gongzi, I think you can do it!" The fifty taels of silver for this book are counted as my entry, and I have no silver on me now, and I will return it to you when I have the silver! ”

Saying this, Zhang Baoer didn't plan to give Cen Shaobai any silver at all.

"I'm waiting for your words!" Cen Shaobai said with satisfaction: "With Brother Zhang, you join the gang, I will have confidence in my heart!" ”

finally got rid of Cen Shaobai, and Zhang Baoer hurriedly pulled Hou Jie out of the incense room.

"What? Are you going to live in the temple? Why? Hou Jie was taken aback when he heard this.

Zhang Bao'er persuaded: "Monkey, let's come to Chang'an, not to nest in this temple for a lifetime, if you want to get ahead, you have to go out and have a good time, you say yes!" ”

"If you want to break in, I'll go with you, how can I rest assured that you will go alone?" Hou Jie was not happy.

"In the past few days, I'm just familiar with Chang'an City, first look at the doorway, and when I find the doorway, I have to break with you if you don't say it. Until then, you'd better stay in the temple first! ”

Seeing Hou Jie's displeasure on his face, Zhang Bao'er joked: "Monkey, we are good brothers, don't you disbelieve me, afraid that I will leave you here?" ”

"Not really!" Hou Jie said wistfully: "You're not here, I have nothing to do here alone, it's weird and boring!" ”

"How can there be nothing to do?" Zhang Bao'er reminded: "You practice martial arts well, I still count on you to protect me in the future, Chang'an is not a place to mix, without your protection, then I can't move an inch!" ”

Hearing Zhang Bao'er say this, Hou Jie nodded and said, "Bao'er, you're right, I'd better practice hard these days!" ”

……

When she left the temple gate in the morning, Zhang Bao'er happened to see Purun, who was hurrying towards the temple gate.

Zhang Bao'er greeted Purun and said, "Master Purun, where are you going so early?" ”

"Master Zhang is early, the temple has to do things, and the poor monks go to buy some magic candles and come back!" Purun saluted Zhang Bao'er.

"Doing something?" Zhang Bao'er asked strangely: "Which big family is it, someone has died?" ”

Ci'en Temple is the largest temple in Chang'an City, and it is certainly not something ordinary people can do to ask Ci'en Temple to do things.

"It's not for people outside the temple to do things, it's for the propagation of immortals who have passed away!"

"Huh?" Zhang Baoer was taken aback.

After listening to Purun's explanation, Zhang Baoer knew what was going on.

It turned out that there was a murder at the Temple of Mercy and Grace the night before, and the abbot of Kobo suddenly died in the meditation room.

The reason why I said that he died violently was because the Kobo Lord, who was in good health on weekdays, had no chronic illnesses, and was in the prime of life, suddenly died so inexplicably.

Jing Zhaoyin received a report and was shocked, the reputation of Ci'en Temple in Chang'an City is known to women and children, every year up to the prime minister of the Son of Heaven, down to the peddlers and pawns to come to worship the Buddha and listen to the scriptures, pay tribute to incense. Now that this kind of thing has happened, if you want Your Majesty to know, not only will your official position be difficult to protect, but I am afraid that even the lives of the whole family will have to be taken. The only chance to remedy the situation is to find out the truth and give an account to the imperial court.

However, after the officials of the government and the doctor invited to inspect the body of the presiding officer, they could not find the cause of death. Because, the corpse had no scars on its whole body, and it didn't look like it was poisoned.

When the news spread, some monks and servants began to talk about the evil spirits that had taken away the soul of the presiding officer.

Jing Zhaoyin had no choice but to report the speculation of the evil ghost asking for his life to the imperial court, and asked the one hundred and eight monks in the temple to recite the 7749 Heaven Vajra Fu Mantra to drive away the evil spirit.

The Temple of Mercy and Grace has to do 49 days of rituals, and the candles stored in the temple are not enough. So, Purun was ordered by the temple to buy the candles.

After Purun finished speaking, he said goodbye to Zhang Baoer and left the temple in a hurry.

Zhang Baoer looked at Purun's back, and then suddenly realized, no wonder there was a catcher who came to check the room the night before yesterday, it turned out to be because of this incident.

Zhang Baoer also felt that the death of the Dharma propagator was strange, but it had nothing to do with him, so he just listened to it.

Before leaving the temple gate, Zhang Bao'er saw Li Si at a glance, he was standing on the steps at the temple gate and looking in.

"Master, you've figured it out!" Seeing Zhang Baoer, Li Si was overjoyed.

"Didn't you go and fix the house? What are you doing here? Zhang Baoer said strangely.

"Master, before dawn, the apprentices have already hired craftsmen, and they have already started to work. According to the master's requirements, the apprentice explained to the craftsmen one by one, they did their work, and the apprentice led the master to Chang'an City for a walk. ”

Li Si is very thoughtful and very discerning, and Zhang Baoer is quite satisfied with him.

"Master hasn't had breakfast yet, has he?" Li Si asked.

"Nope!" Listening to Li Siyi's question, Zhang Baoer felt that her stomach was already growling.

Li Si hurriedly said, "Master, then I'll take you to eat the best haggis in Chang'an City!" ”

Li Si led Zhang Bao'er and walked around in several unknown squares for more than half an hour, crossing the street into the alley, into the deepest and most remote alley, and then into the passage between two walls less than two feet wide.

Just when Zhang Bao'er was dizzy, a trace of abnormal aroma drifted along the breeze, Zhang Bao'er only felt that her whole heart became empty, and then it was instantly full, and her stomach twitched.

"The haggis in this house is so domineering that most people don't know about it." When he spoke, Li Si's saliva was about to flow out.

Mutton haggis cut this thing, Chang'an people often eat, mutton is hot, keep out the cold, when eating the top, the haggis is roughly the same.

It's simple to cut haggis, set up a big pot, burn the old soup, turn the haggis into paper-thin slices on the board, stack them in the old sea bowl, put them on the sesame oil chili, pour it when the old soup is boiling, and drink a bowl with the pot helmet, which is the comfort that the emperor can't enjoy.

At this time, the weather is already hot, and there are many fewer people eating haggis than in winter.

Li Si and Zhang Bao'er walked out of the mezzanine and faced a small door on the wall, and the fragrance came from the door.
