Chapter 203: Confession
Chen Ping had been staring at the gray-robed monk.
He knew that the gray-robed monk's fear from the bottom of his heart was real.
Therefore, he became interested in Shi Jinxiu's silver needle.
"Good boy, how many more needles do you have?" Chen Ping asked Shi Jinxiu.
"Not much, only a dozen." Shi Jinxiu took out the bag of silver needles that had been soaked in hemp.
Chen Ping took it and quickly inserted it all over the gray-robed monk's body.
The speed was so fast that before the gray-robed monk could react, he only felt that he was paralyzed and fell to the side.
"Wow...... Da ...... "He wanted to say shameless, but after he just spit out the first word, his whole tongue stopped listening to him.
Chen Ping took out a small dagger and tentatively stabbed it on the gray-robed monk's body, but saw that the other party did not react.
"That's a good thing." Chen Ping was very excited and said, "It is suitable for scraping bones and healing the brothers." ”
Yu Wenyan nodded in agreement, and then said to Chen Ping with a smile: "Didn't you tell me before that there was a lack of someone to test the medicine?" I think this person is good, he is tall and big, and his body is strong, unlike those people before him, who turn over with a medicine. ”
Hearing this, Chen Ping suddenly looked at the gray-robed monk.
I saw that he would pinch this for a while, and knock on that for a while, and after a long period of tinkering, he smiled at Yu Wenyan and said, "This person is really suitable for being a medicine man!" ”
As soon as these words came out, Shi Jinxiu saw that the gray-robed monk's face changed.
The rebellious aura from before was completely gone, replaced by a cringing look.
But because he was caught in the hemp boiling and couldn't speak, Shi Jinxiu could hear him whining all the time.
And Yu Wenyan pretended not to hear it, but stretched out his hand, took her, and then left the prison with Chen Ping all the way talking and laughing.
After getting out of prison, Shi Jinxiu couldn't help the curiosity in his heart: "Do you really want to use that person as a medicine man?" ”
"What kind of medicine man? My medicine is precious! Without waiting for Yu Wenyan to speak, Chen Ping patted his fat belly and said, "I just scared him just now." ”
"Huh?" Shi Jinxiu was a little puzzled.
Yu Wenyan answered: "We have been arresting this person for a while, but no matter how much we ask him, he refuses to reveal half a word, but I see that he seems to be afraid of being pierced by you just now, so I plan to lie to him." ”
"Is that okay?" Shi Jinxiu asked.
"Okay or not, we'll see in half an hour." Chen Ping replied a little proudly.
But after about two sticks of incense, a jailer came to report: "The gray-robed monk has spoken!" ”
Yu Wenyan, who was playing Go with Chen Ping, threw the chess pieces in his hand back into the chess box: "Unexpectedly, he succumbed earlier than we thought. ”
"Let's go, let's see!" Chen Ping also put down the chess pieces in his hand, and his face was eager to try.
Shi Jinxiu, who entered the prison again, heard a voice begging for mercy from afar: "Spare me!" I say! I'll say everything! ”
Seeing Yu Wenyan coming, someone put down three Taishi chairs outside the cell where the gray-robed monk was locked up early.
After Yu Wenyan sat down, he looked at the gray-robed monk and said, "Say it!" Who are you? Why do you want to sneak into Beijing! ”
"Official! I say! I say! The gray-robed monk knelt in the cell as if begging for mercy, lying on the wooden fence, "I don't know those Hu people!" I'm just halfway to the one they asked to lead the way! ”
Yu Wenyan squinted when he heard this: "Do you think I will listen to your nonsense?" ”
"Official! What I'm saying is true! The gray-robed monk hurriedly said, "Actually, I'm not a monk, I picked up my mush!" ”
"You've thought about it! Stealing from a monk is a great crime! Yu Wenyan said coldly.
"Official! I picked it up! I didn't steal it! The gray-robed monk knelt on the ground, and then looked at Shi Jinxiu with a wary expression.
Yu Wenyan snorted coldly and motioned for him to continue.
"The little nickname Flying Mouse, because he can speak a little nonsense, used to help those Hu people and our people do business in the border cities in the northwest, and eat together." The gray-robed monk said honestly, "Later, there was a wandering monk in our market, and when we were idle, we liked to chat with him and listen to him talk about what he had seen and heard about his travels. ”
Later, the wandering monk suddenly died...... I took his ......" As he spoke, the gray-robed monk's voice became smaller and smaller, "At first, I didn't want to pretend to be him, I kept his things just to be a thought, and then a group of Hu people came, gave me two gold bars, and asked me to find a way to bring them into Beijing......"
"Heh, there is no road guide in this dynasty, it is impossible for you to walk back to the capital from the northwest!" Yu Wenyan listened and retorted to him.
"Of course I know that I can't get to the capital without a way! That's two gold bars! I've never seen so much money in my life! The gray-robed monk said, "I thought of the monk who traveled to the square...... So I picked my own hair, put on the robes of the traveling monks, and led the group of Hu people out day and night......"
"Then why did they come to the capital?" Yu Wenyan continued to ask.
"I don't know!" The gray-robed monk smiled wryly, "I only heard from them, what kind of holy order are you looking for?" Said that as long as I brought them into the capital smoothly, they would give me two more gold bars! But not long after I settled in Huguo Temple, I was arrested by you. ”
Holy Order? What holy order?
Yu Wenyan looked at Chen Ping, and Chen Ping was also confused.
After so many years in the capital, I have never heard of such a thing.
The two of them looked at the gray-robed monk in unison, and the gray-robed monk waved his hand again and again: "I really don't know what it is!" Those Hu people chattered all day long, and asked them anything, but they didn't say anything. ”
"If things are as you say, then why are they attacking my men outside the Protectorate Temple?" Yu Wenyan no longer dwelled on what happened before.
"I know this!" The gray-robed monk said excitedly, "When they saw the waist tag hanging from the waist of that of your lord's men, they thought they were here to arrest them!" That's when you start working with your people outside the Huguo Temple! ”
"Then why are you arresting my people again?" Hearing this, Yu Wenyan's face turned even colder.
"I'm ......," the gray-robed monk glanced at Shi Jinxiu, "Aren't I still here for those gold bars!" I saw this lady and your lord talking and laughing in the temple, and then I saw that the lord wanted to arrest those few Hu people, so I wanted to arrest the lady and exchange ...... Who knows that stealing chickens will not make rice...... I almost got pierced into a sieve! ”
