talked with Su Sanniang until late at night, and when the refugees had fallen asleep one after another, the three of them finally talked about the topic one by one.

The pavilion where the three people are located is pentagonal, except for one side for access, the length and width of the stool on the other four sides are suitable for people to lie down, Chen Shuqing cast a little spell, and the coats on the three of them became cushions and quilts, just to rest, and even the time to take off their clothes was saved.

I thought that I would sleep until dawn on the second day, and the three of them set off immediately after getting up, but I didn't expect that just after the fifth watch, there was a sudden noise in the compound, and the sound became louder and louder, waking up the three of them, Pu Zixuan opened his eyes tiredly and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

There was a path between the courtyard and the pavilion, Chen Shuqing and Su Sanniang had already gotten up and looked towards the noisy place, only to see many officers and soldiers with torches, calling up the refugees sleeping on the ground one by one and lining them aside.

Chen Shuqing said: "It seems that the government has sent someone to check the status of refugees." ”

Su Sanniang said angrily: "Hmph, these demons, as if they can't see the light, especially like to choose this midnight time to come out to deal with the people." When dealing with foreign demons, why are they like wine bags and rice bags? ”

Pu Zixuan saw that the imperial court sent a large number of officers and soldiers to come this time, instead of a special battle, and remembered that Tian Jinkun was desperately resisting when he was investigated a few days ago, and was afraid that Su Sanniang would not be able to hold his breath, so he persuaded: "Don't mess around." ”

Su Sanniang said: "Don't worry, if it had been a few days ago, I wouldn't have been sure, but now that I and the two of you have a new goal, it won't be too important to tell the difference." ”

In the compound, the abbot of Relief had already come out to greet the officers and soldiers, only to see the leading officers and soldiers shouting: "You all listen well, I know that you are all villagers who fled from Fengzhou Island to come here, we are here tonight, not against you, but to get information that there are at least two bandits on Fengzhou Island, as long as you confess people, we will leave immediately, and we will not disturb everyone." ”

Hearing this, Pu Zixuan joked: "These things, I don't have the ability to catch people on the island, now that the volcano has erupted, it's just that the government doesn't send a boat to rescue, the first thing that comes to mind is that the refugees get together, which is a good opportunity to take people...... Rotten, rotten! ”

Obviously, there will be no more Tian Jinkun with hair in the crowd, Pu Zixuan saw that those men all had standard braids, you look at me, I look at you, after a while, someone finally spoke: "I know one, called Tian Jinkun." ”

The officer and soldier said: "Yes, it's him, where is he now?" ”

The man said: "When the volcano erupted on Fengzhou Island during the day, Tian Jinkun and we fled by boat, and on the Dadu River, we were eaten by strange fish in the water. ”

The officers and soldiers did not believe it: "Oh, such a coincidence? Do you dare to pack a ticket for this? If you are found to be harboring bandits, you will also be punished as an accomplice, you can think about it. ”

The man said: "The villain does not dare to deceive the adult, I have seen this with my own eyes, and there are other people who can also testify." ”

After saying that, several more men came forward to testify against him.

The officers and soldiers were noncommittal, and looked at the abbot of Shiran, who put his hands together and said: "Amitabha, what these donors said is true, Tian Jinkun has indeed been killed on the river today, and his body sank to the bottom of the river. ”

The officer and soldier said: "Okay, since it is the abbot master and many villagers who testify, there must be no fake, and I will report truthfully when I go back and cancel Tian Jinkun's number." But there's also a bandit who calls himself the 'Dragon King', have you seen it? ”

Pu Zixuan smiled secretly in his heart: Isn't this what the hell I'm talking about? However, these officers and soldiers are not the same group of people as the previous ones, and they naturally can't recognize me just by looking at their appearance, and as for my hair, I will let Xiao Jiu play tricks and play with them by the way.

After this question was asked, the refugees were speechless, and after looking at each other again, someone said: "There is indeed only one bandit on our island, Tian Jinkun, and the others are good citizens. ”

The abbot said: "Amitabha, Lao Qu also often goes in and out of Fengzhou Island, and he really doesn't know where other bandits come from. ”

The officers and soldiers asked: "It's normal that you don't know each other, I heard that you are from Yunnan, can you stay in this Lingyun Temple today?" ”

"This ......" The relieved abbot wanted to speak and stopped, with a nervous look on his face, he thought of Pu Zixuan, and he couldn't say it clearly, so he had to respond, "The compound and the backyard are full of refugees, and the old man has never seen anyone with hair in them. Since the adults said that he was from Yunnan, would he have left Jiading Mansion in the future? Otherwise, you can go to the inn in the county to check. ”

The officers and soldiers said: "The big and small inns have been checked, there is no such person, Lingyun Temple is the last suspicious place, we will search and search immediately, and I hope that the master will not be surprised." ”

When the abbot heard this, he hurriedly persuaded: "Amitabha, the Buddhist temple is a quiet place, and you must not let the military trample on it at will, otherwise it will annoy the Buddha and Bodhisattva, and I am afraid that I will suffer trouble." ”

Although the abbot tried his best to dissuade him, the leading officers and soldiers did not buy it, and said in an evil tone: "Abbot, don't be alarmist, now the disaster of the country is the bandits, we should act impartially at the order of the superiors, arrest the bandits, and never damage a single grass and tree in your temple, this move is in accordance with the will of heaven, please the abbot lead the way for us." ”

The abbot said: "The monks are merciful, and I hope that the adults will not embarrass me, an old monk." ”

The officers and soldiers were impatient and shouted: "The old monk really takes himself as a thing, and now that the national disaster is at hand, from the emperor to us, who is not living with his belt on his belt?" For what? Isn't it to destroy the disobedient people from all walks of life, and to restore you to a quiet place? If it weren't for the soft-heartedness of the government and the maintenance of a group of monks like you, who are full of food and have nothing to do all day long, would you have this small place to recite scriptures with peace of mind? I have already said all the good things to you, and the more you refuse, the more I suspect that this person is in the temple. Now, I order a search of Lingyun Temple, can you insist on blocking it? ”

When the abbot heard this, he had no choice but to step aside, and said: "The old man doesn't dare, the adults want to search, and they will go by themselves, and the old man will go to the kitchen to gather so many people's breakfast, so he won't accompany the adults." However, the refugees live in the wings and compounds, and adults are advised to search both places. ”

"Hmph, there's no need to be reminded, we have our own measure." After speaking, he made a gesture and said to the officers and soldiers behind him, "Give me a good search!" ”

More than ten officers and soldiers immediately rushed to Lingyun Temple in different directions in a group of three or five, and the abbot was relieved to say anything, and walked towards the Daxiong Treasure Hall alone, and when he crossed the threshold, he did not forget to look around, his eyes stayed in the pavilion of Pu Zixuan and the three of them for a moment, as if he was reminding something, but he couldn't delay too much, and immediately turned back and entered the hall.
