Lai Junchen was helpless, so he had to say: "Since this is the case, Master Xue, please!" ”

Xue Huaiyi stood up, walked out of the door, and said loudly to the disciples: "The Sprinkle family just discussed with the old man, although Seventeen was wronged, but after all, he was convicted. If the Sprinkle family takes him away like this, the suspicion will not go, and his future will inevitably be delayed. It's better to call the old man to clear the charge for Seventeen first, and then walk out of this magistrate's house in a dignified manner, if you are worried about your brother, go with your teacher to see him first. ”

Lai Junchen stood next to Xue Huaiyi, smiled slightly and didn't say anything, just quietly handed a look to Wei Suizhong, who rushed to hear the news, Wei Suizhong didn't understand what he meant at first, and when Xue Huaiyi was halfway through, he understood, and immediately turned around and hurriedly left.

Lai Junchen waited for Xue Huaiyi to finish speaking, and said with a smile: "Master Xue, please come here!" ”

A group of bald monks surrounded Xue Huaiyi to show off his might, and the master of Lai Junchen was like a companion, they left Lai Junchen's signing room and walked to the prison area in the back compartment. Lai Junchen walked steadily, and from time to time he introduced himself to Xue Huaiyi the layout of the magistrate's court.

Wei Suizhong rushed to the temporary prison area in the west chamber in a hurry, and hurriedly asked someone to open the cell door, he didn't look at it carefully last time, and then he saw that the environment in the cell was not bad, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and immediately called a group of people to clean the room, nail the iron ring, loosen the ties for Yang Fan, and get the shackles, so busy.

When the iron and steel rings were nailed to the walls and the ground, someone took the long chain shackles that were usually used to hang people in the air and torture. Handcuffed Yang Fan's hands and feet, this time Yang Fan was more comfortable than being tied to a pillar, and he could move in a small area or even lie down to rest, but no matter which direction he went, his range of motion was very limited.

At this time, Wei Suizhong asked someone to untie the cow tendons on Yang Fan's body, and the two prisoners came in with a pair of couches, which had just been placed on the ground. Lai Junchen led Xue Huaiyi into the courtyard. These strange actions of the jailers made Yang Fan inexplicable at first, until he saw Xue Huaiyi leading a group of monks in. That's when it dawned on me.

"Seventeen!"

All the senior brothers rushed up, and Lai Junchen coughed and said to Xue Huaiyi: "Master Xue." After all, Yang Fan is guilty, and he can't be given more convenience, this torture tool is still necessary, Master Xue shouldn't feel sorry for his apprentice and make Junchen embarrassed! ”

Xue Huaiyi was gagged by Lai Junchen first, but after thinking about it, he didn't object, just snorted coldly, separated the disciples, walked in front of Yang Fan, and asked loudly, "Seventeen." You told the teacher that you were involved in the rebellion? ”

Yang Fan shook his head and said, "Disciple no!" ”

Xue Huaiyi patted him on the shoulder and said loudly: "Okay! With your words, you will have the confidence to be a teacher! Whoever wants to bully the people of our White Horse Temple for no reason will not be ....... Well? What happened to you? ”

Xue Huaiyi was halfway through speaking, and suddenly saw Yang Fan showing a painful look, and he couldn't help but be stunned. Wei Suizhong's eyes showed a fierce light on the side, and he showed a threat to Yang Fan, how could Yang Fan pay attention to him, if he didn't seize this rare opportunity. Then you will surely die.

Yang Fan said: "Master, the disciple was originally tied to the pillar, tied for a day and a night, the rope was strangled into the skin, and the hands, feet, shoulders and backs were broken. ”

"What?"

As soon as Hong Liu heard this, he stepped forward and tore open Yang Fan's clothes, the cow tendon had already been strangled, bruised, and the green was red, because the cow tendon broke the muscles through the clothes, the wound was relatively dull, the injury was not deep, but the area was large, at a glance, the flesh and blood were blurred, and it seemed shocking.

A group of apprentices scolded, Xue Huaiyi roared, and suddenly overpowered everyone's voices: "Damn, didn't you say to treat my apprentice well, what's going on?" ”

"This ...... This ......"

Lai Junchen was very embarrassed, Wei Suizhong hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Master Xue is angry, Yang Fan has never been beaten by a board since he entered my magistrate's court, this is the truth, Master Xue can ask him if he doesn't believe it, and he can also check his injuries." As for this wound, it was caused by the fear that he would break free and escape when he came back, and the binding was too tight. Speaking of which, the person who tied him up is still a soldier of Yulinwei, and it has nothing to do with my Yushitai......"

Wei Suizhong said skillfully and pushed the matter away, but he said that he did not torture Yang Fan, but it was also the truth, and if he really wanted to check it, it would be quite confusing. It's just that before he finished speaking, Yang Fan interrupted him and said in a deep voice: "Master, I'm afraid it's you and me today!" ”

As soon as these words came out, all the monks stopped arguing, and Hong Yiqi said: "Seventeen, what nonsense are you talking about, didn't you say that you didn't participate in the rebellion?" ”

Yang Fan said: "Senior brother, Seventeen has never participated in the rebellion, it's true!" Seventeen will die in this magistrate's house, it is also a fact! He raised his hand, the iron chain rattled, and pointed at Wei Suizhong and said: "This morning, Zhu Bin, who was imprisoned in the cell next door to me, was violently imprisoned. This was the man who was in charge of counting the prisoners, and he then searched my cell with a fierce look in his eyes......"

Wei Suizhong was just about to explain, but Yang Fan hurriedly said: "Although Yang Fan is not very old, he has seen a lot of people from all walks of life, whether he has a murderous intention, I will never be mistaken!" ”

Wei Suizhong laughed and said repeatedly: "Ridiculous! It's ridiculous! This official is in charge of the prison system, can he still have a good face for the prisoners? Look at these people around me, which one is not vicious! Yang Fan, you are a prisoner, and you are not a friend of someone Wei, if I check your prison cell, do you still have to be polite and polite with a smile! ”

The monks looked at Wei Suizhong's side, and saw that the jailer had a gloomy face, as if someone else owed them eight hundred yuan, and a person like Zhang Lilei was more like a butcher, although his face was expressionless, but it was murderous.

Lai Junchen shook his head again and again, and sighed: "Master Xue, your disciple is too suspicious, this group of people already has the virtue of not being close to ...... grandmother and uncle, and now you are here, Master Xue, their appearance is quite good, and they are usually , hey!" Wei Suizhong has no grievances with Yang Fan, what reason do you want to kill him? ”

Xue Huaiyi looked at Yang Fan and then at Wei Suizhong. Yang Tian snorted and said to Yang Fan: "Seventeen, I see that you are frightened and start talking nonsense." You can rest assured, you don't do bad things in your life, and you are not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door in the middle of the night. The old man also knows that you have been wronged, and will clear your name. Release you from prison. You can stay here in peace. ”

Yang Fan was anxious, and said in a loud voice: "Master! ”

Xue Huaiyi said: "Okay, okay!" I heard your words. So many of your brothers and sisters have heard it. The officials, deacons, and jailers who came to Zhongcheng and those present all heard it. If a suspect in rebellion. said that he would die on the Imperial Throne, but it turned out that he really died on the Imperial Throne, Hongyi, what do you say is this? ”

Hongyi straightened his chest and said, "Then there is also a saying that someone must be determined to oppose our White Horse Temple!" ”

Xue Huaiyi raised his leg and scolded: "You pig head!" ”

Xue Huaiyi turned to Hongliu indignantly and asked, "Hongliu, you say!" ”

Hongliu immediately changed his voice and said: "If Seventeen is really dead, it must be murder!" There must be an accomplice in the envoy's platform! Lai Zhongcheng said that he would take care of Seventeen. Seventeen can still die in the imperial envoy's platform, this murderer's official must be not small! Master, you have to report to the emperor immediately, this envoy is unreliable, and there are big fish in it. Gotta check! Gotta find out! ”

Xue Huaiyi nodded and smiled: "That's nature!" The Sprinkle family is loyal to the emperor, once this kind of thing is discovered, how can they not investigate! Seventeen said that the surname is Wei, you remember his name for me, Seventeen really has an accident. Check him out the first one! ”

Wei Suizhong's face became unnatural, and Xue Huaiyi said to Lai Junchen, who had a somewhat stiff smile: "Old man, look at this injury on my apprentice's body......"

Lai Junchen coughed dryly and said: "I will make people apply medicine and wrap it!" ”

Xue Huaiyi said: "Okay, then the Sprinkle family won't bother, let's go!" ”

Xue Huaiyi glanced back at Yang Fan again, turned around and walked out. Lai Junchen also sent Xue Huaiyi out of the magistrate's house, and when he arrived at the door, Xue Huaiyi suddenly turned to Lai Junchen, and Lai Junchen hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Master Xue?" ”

Xue Huaiyi raised his hand and put it on Junchen's shoulder, and then pulled it into his arms, and the two of them leaned together very closely, Xue Huaiyi sneered twice in Junchen's ear, and said in a low voice: "Old man, the two of us were mixed in the workshop at the beginning, and we were both people all the way, and I know your tricks." ”

Lai Junchen hurriedly struggled and said, "Master Xue, you ...... by mistake"

Xue Huaiyi's big hand tightened, pulled him back again, and said: "People live with a face, and trees live with a layer of skin!" Xue someone is alive, what I want is this face, if Seventeen dies in your magistrate's courtyard for no reason, you are picking my Xue someone's face, if you make me Xue someone have no face, then I don't want to be cheeky! When the time comes......"

Xue Huaiyi slapped Lai Junchen twice on the back, let go of his body, and said loudly: "Old man, the Sprinkle family has said goodbye!" ”

Xue Huaiyi walked away, and a string of arrogant laughter came to Junchen's ears, and Lai Junchen's face turned blue and red for a while.

Xiaoman's mind was extremely thoughtful, and a turbid Taoist said that it was inconvenient for her to show up, so as not to be honest, she stopped not far from the magistrate's house, led the horse to avoid waiting in an alley on the side of the road, and waited until the group of people from the magistrate's house returned to the yamen, she hurriedly greeted her, and when she saw Xue Huaiyi empty-handed and did not bring Yang Fan out, her heart was a little panicked.

"Master Xue!"

When Xue Huaiyi saw her, he raised his hand to stop the disciples, stepped forward alone, pulled Xiao Man aside, and said in a low voice: "Apprentice daughter-in-law, it's not that the Sprinkle family refuses to help, it's just that the seventeenth case involves rebellion, and even the emperor knows about it, I can't just take him out like this, otherwise the emperor will say a word, and he will have to go in, and it will be difficult for the Sprinkle family to come forward at that time." ”

Xiao Man's face turned pale, and he said in a panic: "Master......"

Xue Huaiyi said: "Don't worry, Seventeen is fine now." The Sprinkle family has already given Lai Junchen harsh words, and he doesn't dare to secretly do anything. But ......"

Xue Huaiyi said what Yang Fan said to Xiaoman again, and said: "Seventeen is bold and careful, and he has all the skills, if you want to say that he is scared and suspicious, the first one in the Sprinkle family does not believe it." If he's telling the truth, there's a lot going on here. I'm afraid that Junchen will weave a lot of false evidence, and when the time comes, the evidence will be ironclad, if the emperor orders to kill him, the Sprinkle family will not be able to save him. Don't be in a hurry, go home and wait for my news, and then think of a way. ”

Xiao Man hurriedly saluted and said, "Thank you, Master!" ”

Xue Huaiyi didn't fish people out, he felt shameless, he just waved his hand, and walked away with a calm face. Xiao Man looked at his face, his heart sank, and he said secretly: "This Monk Xue has such a look, the matter must be a hundred times more serious than what he said!" If even he can't do it, then wouldn't Lang Jun be dead? ”

Xiao Man led the horse and stood on the side of the road, watching Xue Huaiyi and a group of people ride away on horseback, and his heart was blank as if it was hanging in the air, and there was nothing to lose. Suddenly, she also turned over and got on her horse and galloped away: "Xue Huaiyi, this great bodhisattva, can't do it, then go and ask for all the gods and Buddhas in the sky, and you must rescue Lang Jun!" ”

Xiaoman is really anxious now, and fortunately, although Yang Fan joined the company late, he miraculously made friends with many big names. For example, Liang Wang Wu Sansi and Taiping Princess Li Lingyue, since they can attach so much importance to Yang Fan when they get married, there must be some unusual relationship, no matter whether it is useful to ask them or not, Xiaoman has to try it now.

Xiaoman believed that Shangguan was also trying to rescue Lang Jun, but unfortunately Shangguan Wan'er lived in the inner palace and could not meet. She can't sit back and wait for Wan'er to make a move, let alone pin all her hopes on Shangguan Wan'er, she is now worshipping when she sees the temple, burning incense when she sees the Buddha, and she is already a little sick and going to the doctor.

Xiaoman has been raised according to the standards of palace maids since she was a child, she is the defender of imperial power and the defender of "order", she wants to save Yang Fan, and even sacrifices her own life, but she has never had the idea of resisting from beginning to end. All her thoughts, all her thoughts, are how to rescue her husband under the imperial order.

Different education, different experiences, different lives, people's ideas will be completely different.

If Xiaoman has been a maintainer of order for so many years, then what about Tian Ainu?

Tenainu is copying scriptures.

In the meditation room of the abbot of the Pure Heart Nunnery, Si Liqing Pei Xuanli's wife Yue Shi ran to cry to the qualitative master again, and Jinglian Xiaoni was still sitting on the side, holding her wrist and copying the Diamond Sutra without distraction, she had copied this sutra eighty times, and now she was copying the eighty-first time.

While copying the scriptures, she recited the scriptures silently, and gradually felt something unusual. She felt that she had a clear mind, that the five aggregates were empty, that there was no self, that there was no one, that there were no beings, that there were no longevity, that the Buddha was me, and that I was the Buddha! She has realized the true meaning of the Buddhist scriptures!

Mrs. Yue cried: "Mrs. Shi, my husband is probably guilty of the crime this time, they have fabricated a lot of charges for my husband, and now they have arrested a person named Yang Fan, who is the official of the winter official Li Youdao, and my husband is the person who contacts in the middle." Oh my God, when did my husband have been in contact with this person! ”

Jinglian Xiaoni hung on the pen and paper, complacent: "This feels like an epiphany, in fact, I have a lot of wisdom." ”

The word "Yang Fan" entered her ears, and the tip of her pen sank in response, staining a cloud of ink on the "Diamond Sutra" that she had just written.

The Pure Lotus Xiaoni, who had just had an epiphany and became a Buddha, had cold eyes, and was about to incarnate as an asura. (To be continued)
