Chapter 1066: Bronze Buddha
The Buddha hall of the General's Mansion is located in the backyard, which is a quiet inner courtyard, very quiet, and there is not even a subordinate to serve next to it, at this time this Buddha Hall has been surrounded by clusters, knives and guns are out of the sheath, if the assassin is really in the Buddha Hall, it is difficult to fly with wings.
Chu Huan came to the inner courtyard surrounded by everyone, Dongfang Xin followed Chu Huan's side, and when he arrived in the inner courtyard, he saw Hao Tong leading several guards to stop at the main entrance of the Buddhist hall, with a cold expression.
Inside the temple, the lights are on, but the door is closed.
"My lord, this is the only place where I haven't searched now." Xuanyuan Sheng said, "If the assassin still has a hiding place, it can only be here. ”
Chu Huan glanced at Hao Tong, and then turned his head to look at Dongfang Xin, Dongfang Xin knew what Chu Huan meant, at this time, all the officials were here, and this Buddha Hall was the last place of suspicion, if the assassin stopped it again, it would make the other party even more suspicious, and looking at today's posture, Chu Huan would not stop if he didn't search the Buddha Hall, even if he was reluctant, there was no way.
Dongfang Xin was extremely angry with Chu Huan, but the situation was stronger than people, and he only thought about getting through this hurdle and going back to settle accounts with Chu Huan, and he really didn't think that Zhao Xin would hide in the General's Mansion.
Zhao Xin is not a stupid person, he went against the plan set by Dongfang Xin in advance, of course he knew what the consequences were, even if he had the courage to sneak back to the General's Mansion.
"The last general is a military general, serving the imperial court, and there is nothing to kill." Dongfang Xin still looked very calm, "There are countless souls under the hands of the last general, and in order to eliminate the murderous spirit of the last general, he will worship the Buddha in the Buddha hall every day and eliminate the blood of the hand for the last general...... There is only the inside of the cheap, and the Assassin will never be here. He raised his hand and motioned for the pain to dodge.
Hao Tong then took people to dodge, Dongfang Xin stepped forward, personally pushed open the door, when the door is a one-person high Buddha statue, that is the bronze statue of Shakya, in front of the Buddha statue is the incense case for incense, the incense case, is a futon, a woman wearing a black veil is kneeling on the futon, worshipping the Buddha sincerely, after Dongfang Xin pushed the door, the woman still did not look back, very calm.
"Xiaoyun ......!" Dongfang Xin's voice was quite gentle, "What other people do you see here?" ”
The woman did not look back, but replied in a calm voice without any emotion: "No, there is only Buddha here, no one!" ”
Dongfang Xin turned around, and Chu Huan was close by him, "Lord Governor, the Buddha Hall can be seen at a glance, and it is indeed impossible for an assassin to appear here." ”
Chu Huan put his hands behind his back, looked at the door, glanced at it a few times, and saw that this Buddha hall was really very simple, except for the incense case and the bronze Buddha, there was indeed no superfluous things, he bowed his head slightly, frowned, and said: "What General Dongfang said is that the assassin really doesn't seem to be here...... It seems that someone has made a rumor. ”
"My lord, if you are humble or not, you will take someone in to find it." Xuanyuan Shengcai was on the side.
Dongfang Xin sneered: "Xuanyuan Shengcai, the Buddha Hall is small and can be seen at a glance, what else is there to find?" ”
"General Dongfang doesn't need to be angry." Chu Huan said with a smile: "This is also Xuanyuan's due diligence and consideration for the safety of the General's Mansion. Xiang Xuanyuan Shengcai said: "Xuanyuan, there is really no one here, if you are really not at ease, take two people in and take a casual look, in the middle of the night, they will also collect their troops and rest early...... Mrs. Dongfang is worshipping the Buddha, so don't disturb Madame. ”
Dongfang Xin thought, you are making a big move, what else is there to disturb or not, but naturally he will not say this, he raised his hand and sneered: "Xuanyuan Shengcai, even if you go in to search, you don't care if you will disturb the assassin, it is important to find the assassin, you said that the assassin infiltrated the general's mansion, and I hope you can really find him." ”
Xuanyuan Shengcai ignored his ridicule, and took a few guards warriors into the Buddhist hall, Chu Huan had already turned around and smiled at this time: "Everyone has worked hard tonight, it seems that the assassin is not here, and when Xuanyuan comes out, everyone will go back to their homes, and the governor will continue to arrange for people to arrest the fugitives." Xiang Dongfang Xin smiled and said: "General Dongfang, today is disturbing, something is very wrong, don't be surprised." ”
"The last general will naturally not be surprised, but the murderer of Lord Dong has not been caught, which makes the last general uneasy." Dongfang said: "The last general will continue to send people to search for assassins, and the assassins must be ......!" ”
Before he finished speaking, Xuanyuan Shengcai's voice was already heard over there, "My lord! ”
Chu Huan's eyebrows tightened, and when he turned his head to look, he saw that Xuanyuan Shengcai and several warriors were already holding swords in their hands, their eyes were sharp, and they were staring at the bronze Buddha.
Dongfang's confidence sank, Chu Huan reached out to his waist, his blood drinking knife was on his waist, he held the handle of the knife, and walked over lightly, Xuanyuan Sheng pointed to the bronze Buddha, Chu Huan looked over, but saw that there was a trace of blood on the bronze Buddha.
Chu Huan snorted, Xuanyuan Sheng made a gesture, and several guards rushed to the Buddha hall, and everyone surrounded the bronze Buddha, pointing forward.
Mrs. Dongfang's originally calm face changed color in shock, and she lost her voice: "You ...... What are you going to do? ”
As soon as Chu Huan raised his hand, the two warriors had already stepped forward to pull Mrs. Dongfang and walked out, Dongfang Xin's face changed drastically, and he said in a deep voice: "You are so bold, why do you want to move my wife?" ”
As soon as his words fell, Chu Huan's voice was already extremely cold: "You still haven't come out yet?" ”
Dongfang Xin was stunned, and Chu Huan had already continued: "We know that you are hiding in the Bronze Buddha, if you don't want to die, come out quickly, as long as you confess the real culprit behind the scenes, you can't live!" ”
At this time, many officials were already crowded in front of the door of the Buddhist hall, probing their brains and looking inside.
Suddenly, there was a sound inside the bronze Buddha, and everyone was even more on alert, and they heard a "click" sound, and the back of the bronze Buddha suddenly opened, but it was this bronze Buddha that hid another mystery, which was hollow inside, which could accommodate people to hide, and the mechanism was opened, and a shadow had come out of it, and he slashed with a knife, Chu Huan leaned forward and waved the knife to meet it, with a "choking" sound, sparks splashed everywhere, and then a "click" sound was heard, and the person's big knife and the blood drinking knife touched, but it was instantly broken into two.
The man was taken aback, Chu Huan didn't wait for him to react, he stepped forward, he had already grabbed the man's collar, roared, and threw the man out with force in his hand, the man couldn't help himself, his body flew out, "bang", hit the wall, the sound of bones shattering sounded, and then the man slipped off the wall softly, and Xuanyuan Shengcai's long knife was already out and had been placed on the man's neck.
The turn of events was so sudden that many people didn't even know how the assassin came to be.
The person's outfit was exactly the same as the assassin who escaped from Beiwanglou, his clothes had not had time to be changed, and his left arm had been bandaged, so anyone could see that his left arm must have been injured, and the assassin who escaped from Beiwanglou was injured by Chu Huan with a teapot.
The corners of Dongfang Xin's eyes twitched, and Mrs. Dongfang's face showed a sad color, and she said in a trembling voice: "You ...... Don't hurt him......! Dongfang Xin heard Mrs. Dongfang say this, turned his head and glanced at Mrs. Dongfang, and saw that her face was full of worry, and his heart was even more annoyed, and he said in a deep voice: "Okay, you slut, you dare to harbor assassins?" ”
Mrs. Dongfang glanced at Dongfang Xin, her eyes showed resentment, but she did not speak.
Chu Huan had already put away the blood drinking knife, stared at the assassin, and asked, "Are you the assassin who escaped in the North Watchtower?" ”
"It's Lao Tzu." The assassin looked very backbone, with a pair of eyes with resentment, staring at Chu Huan's eyes: "It's just a pity that I killed Dong Shizhen, but I couldn't kill you!" ”
"What enmity does the Governor have against you, and why do you assassinate him?" Chu Huan stared at the man coldly, "What kind of grudge does Lord Dong have against you, why did you want to assassinate him?" ”
"Don't ask too much, kill me with a knife." The assassin was full of backbone, "No matter what means you use, don't want to get a word from Lao Tzu's mouth." ”
"Sure enough, it's a man." Chu Huan sighed, "Who are you?" With a look, Xuanyuan Sheng bowed slightly, turned his wrist, and the blade picked it up, and had already picked off the black scarf that the assassin had covered his face, and immediately revealed his true face, and there were already many people crowded in front of the door to look inside, and when he saw the true face of the assassin, someone had already lost his voice and said: "Yes...... It's Zhao Xin......! ”
"Huh? It's really Zhao Xin! ”
There was a commotion outside the door, and no one could have imagined that the assassin who assassinated Dong Shizhen in Beiwanglou turned out to be Zhao Xin, the former director of the Ministry of War.
"Zhao Xin, is that you?" Chu Huan also looked taken aback, and his face changed slightly, "Haven't you already absconded?" ”
The assassin Zhao Xin sneered: "Since you have absconded, you can naturally come back, how can you leave like this before Lao Tzu's major event is over?" ”
"Zhao Xin, you say, why do you want to assassinate Lord Dong, why do you want to assassinate this governor?"
Zhao Xin shook his head and said: "You don't have to ask more, Lao Tzu fell into this field, he wanted to kill and scrape, listen to him, and never frown." Chu Huan, everything is planned by Lao Tzu alone, and it has nothing to do with others, so you can do it. ”
Xuanyuan Shengcai suddenly said: "My lord, the North Wanglou is assassinated, the layout is thorough, and the timing of the move is just right, this is absolutely impossible for Zhao Xin to do, and the humble general suspects, behind this, I am afraid that there is another master." ”
As soon as these words came out, the corners of Dongfang Xin's mouth twitched not far away, and the eyes of many officials turned to Xuanyuan Shengcai.
Dongfang Xin and Zhao Xin had eight friendships and were righteous brothers, although they gradually became estranged, they did not break off their righteousness, and they were still righteous brothers, which many people know.
This time, Zhao Xin actually assassinated Dong Shizhen, and Xuanyuan Shengcai claimed that there was another master's plan, and the first object that everyone thought of was General Dongfang Xin of Pingxi.
Dongfang Xin felt that everyone's eyes were cut on him like knives, and he was a little flustered, but he still tried his best to keep his composure, and sneered: "Xuanyuan Shengcai, what do you mean by this?" ”
Xuanyuan Shengcai looked at him and asked rhetorically, "What does General Dongfang think my words mean?" I just think that this assassination, Zhao Xin has other comrades, why is General Dongfang so sensitive? ”
