Chapter 16: Death [New Book Collection]

The abbot was wearing a yellow-brown robe, and he seemed to be full of fairy aura when he walked.

Accompanied by his disciple Wuming, he slowly walked in the direction of the two officials.

"Amitabha, the two donors came from afar, what happened?" The abbot gassho said.

The two of them were shocked by the abbot's special aura and took a step back.

"Master, our two brothers are the officials of the Xuanguguan Yamen, and the county order sent us to check the identity of a person." The two of them bowed their hands at the same time, one of the officials said.

The abbot saw through the thoughts of the people who came, stroked his beard and said with a smile: "But what happened to Xia Yuechuang? ”

Both of them were amazed, they did not expect that the abbot still had the ability to be an unknown prophet, and his arched waist bent deeper.

"The presiding officer is truly a man of God! You know what is going on before we even open our mouths, admire, admire! The official surnamed Wu stood up and clasped his fists in admiration.

The official surnamed Zhang who stood next to him was originally a jailer in Dali Temple, and he has never been reused. A few years ago, the court situation was turbulent, and in order to avoid disputes, he voluntarily asked to be transferred to the Xuanguguan Yamen, which was far away from the capital, as a servant.

Zhang Yashi unhurriedly took out the portrait of his clothes from his arms and asked, "Master, may I ask if the Xia Yue in your mouth is this person?" ”

Before the abbot could speak, Wu Ya waved his hand in the air, pointed to the portrait and said, "Big brother, why are you so brainless?" We didn't open our mouths to know the meaning of the abbot, how could we say the wrong person! ”

Zhang Yashi did not answer his words and continued to look at the abbot.

"Amitabha, monks don't speak, the person in this portrait is the summer moon in the mouth of the old man."

Wu Yashi couldn't wait to reach out to collect the portrait. "Look, that's not too much! Alright, put it away, don't bother the abbot anymore, let's go down the mountain quickly! ”

Zhang Yashi had nothing to say, and respectfully arched his hand to the master and said, "Thank you, master, then we will leave!" ”

"Master, farewell!"

Before leaving, Zhang Yashi's gaze stayed on Wuming for a few seconds.

In the yamen of Xuanguguan, the county ordered Lord Wen to sit still.

"Squeak-"

The lieutenant came in from the outside in a panic, and then cautiously closed the door.

Lord Wen hurriedly greeted him: "How are things going?" ”

"Office...... Good...... Finish. The county lieutenant gasped as he spoke.

The county commander Wen returned to the tea table, picked up the teapot on the table, poured a cup of tea and handed it to the county lieutenant. "Okay, okay, you drink a glass of water first."

"Knock knock-" Before the county lieutenant could sit down, he drank the water in two sips, poured another cup himself, and drank it all in one go.

"What's wrong with you?" Lord Wen looked at him and said.

"Where did I almost lose my life!" The county lieutenant breathed a sigh of relief, sat down in his chair and continued, "It was two o'clock after I finished copying the account books last night, and by the time the 'Thousand Feet Shop' was close to six o'clock, I thought that I should sleep in the dead of night, and I slipped in the backyard and didn't walk a few steps before I found a patrol man keeping vigil......

"What? There are even patrolling people in the big shop! "Lord Wen couldn't believe his ears.

The county lieutenant continued: "In a hurry, I hid in the bushes, and the mosquitoes bit countless bags, and I didn't dare to catch my breath. ”

"And then?"

"The patrols kept wandering, and I didn't get a chance to go out, and they didn't leave until it was almost dawn. I seized the opportunity to hurry upstairs to find the female shopkeeper's bedroom, and after I found it, I just went in with my front foot, and someone followed me with my back foot, so frightened that I hid under the bed again, and the person who came wore a night suit, as if he was looking for something, and rummaged through the large and small cabinets. ”
