Chapter 27: Noon (2)

"High priest, we are not bad people, and we have no intention of offending your rituals, so we came here out of helplessness, just to find someone (Persian) Xiao Jinniang said urgently

The high priest slowly walked down from the stage, and the believers also made a way for them to make a way in their own way.

"My followers are outsiders, they don't have anything to do with your Chang'an City, no major events happen, and the court has no right to send people to my Zhengfang, this is fair, I see that all the people in white clothes are white, according to the Tang law, those in white clothes who come to Buzheng Fang to make trouble will be killed first and then played, and killing people will not pay for their lives (Persian)"

Xiao Jinniang looked at the believers' eyes like thieves, as if there was a possibility of dividing them and eating them, if they didn't make a decisive choice, they might not be able to get out of the jackal-full Buzheng Square today.

"The high priest is right, those in white who come to make trouble in the government will be cut down first, and the imperial power will give permission, but what if your followers kill someone? (Persian)"

The High Priest was stunned for a moment, looking around.

"Are you killing innocents? (Persian)"

The believers waved their hands and said that they had never killed anyone.

The high priest said solemnly: "My believers never tell lies, your words are not credible, I see that you are so young, it is a pity to die in vain in Buzheng Fang, please leave alone if you commit your first offense, if you commit it again next time, you will definitely be killed without forgiveness (Persian)"

The high priest turned to leave, and the believers surrounded a wall with their bodies, no matter how hard Xiao Jinniang tried, they couldn't rush through.

Seeing Xiao Jinniang's unyielding appearance, the high priest became angry.

"You don't want to give you a way to live, it's really a toast and don't eat and drink, since you insist on seeking death, then don't blame me for being ruthless (Persian)"

As he spoke, two believers with bows and crossbows flew out in front of the high priest, and the bows and arrows were aimed at Xiao Jinniang and Ye Luping's eyebrows in an instant.

At the last moment, Xiao Jinniang took out the fish talisman and said sharply.

"I am a saint and I am ordered to investigate the case, and the high priest does not remember, perhaps because he is busy with business, have you believers also forgotten what happened an hour ago? In front of the Buzheng Fang, a living person was beaten to death by you, and after an hour, no one confessed it! Is this what you call fair? (Persian)"

Seeing that Xiao Jinniang's words didn't seem to be lying, the high priest hurriedly withdrew the archers, came to the believers, and asked.

"Who killed someone in front of the shop an hour ago? I told you and others, don't have anything to do with Chang'an City, why don't you listen, so that people come to the door, how should it end? (Persian)"

The high priest's reprimand caused the believers to bow their heads and not dare to speak, and the hall was instantly silent.

Suddenly, I don't know who broke the silence, rushed out of the crowd and shouted in the direction of Xiao Jinniang and Ye Luping: "It was I who killed that Chang'an man by mistake for a while, one life is worth one life, since he came to ask for his life, I will give him back his life (Persian)"

Before the people could react, the man took out the dagger he had prepared and committed suicide.

Seeing him fall to the ground, a woman instantly wailed, hugged this person and cried: "Xiao Wu, Xiao Wu, why are you dead!" How can you let A-Niang live if you die! (Persian)"

Seeing Xiao Wu commit suicide, the believers became a pot of porridge, some said that Xiao Wu was forced to death by the two of them, and some said that they were just here to make things clear, anyway, there was anything to say, and in the end, I don't know who said a word to kill them, and the believers rushed over despite the high priest's obstruction.

Although Xiao Jinniang had Yeluping in front of her to resist, she couldn't stand the stormy fists and feet of these people, and when she was about to lose her support, a voice suddenly came from outside the Buzheng Fang.

"King Shou has arrived! ——”

Li Ye's personal soldiers surrounded the Buzheng Fang, and the believers in the Fang also obediently squatted on the ground and did not dare to act rashly.

Li Ye hurriedly walked up to Xiao Jinniang and helped her up, and asked with concern.

"Let you investigate the case, how did you find out here, it's really daring, or the eyeliner report is timely, our uncle and nephew can only see each other."

"Eyeliner?" Xiao Jinniang asked suspiciously: "Uncle Shouwang installed eyeliner next to me?" ”

Li Ye knew that he had missed his mouth, so he ignored Xiao Jinniang, and instead helped Ye Luping up from the ground.

"It's really hard for you, little brother, in order to protect me, an uncompetitive niece, seeing that you are so badly injured, why don't you go to my house for treatment! I have the best royal doctor in my house."

Jerem waved his hand to indicate no.

The three of them were talking, and when the high priest saw King Shou coming, he also walked up to Li Ye unhurriedly and asked for peace straight.

"I don't know that His Royal Highness King Shou has arrived, and the old man has missed the distance!"

Looking at the high priest's shelf, his face was still a little unhappy, Li Ye smiled and said: "I also came and suddenly failed to tell me in time, and I ask the high priest not to blame."

Listening to the two of them chatting in Chinese unimpeded, Xiao Jinniang asked in surprise, "High Priest, do you speak Chinese?" Then why are you embarrassing me in Persian? ”

The high priest laughed but said nothing.

Li Ye tugged at Xiao Jinniang's sleeve and told her to speak less.

"Today's matter is really sorry for the high priest, this is the place of pure cultivation to make my nephew so unpleasant, this king apologizes to the high priest on behalf of his nephew"

Although Li Ye gave the high priest a deep salute, the high priest still did not have a smile on his face, but sighed.

"My ancestors in the Taizong Dynasty along the Silk Road despite the long journey to Chang'an City, Taizong saw that my ancestors yearn for Chang'an, so he approved my ancestors in Chang'an City Buzheng Fang to preach this scripture has been more than 100 years, and issued an edict, our descendants are not allowed to enter the Buzheng Fang without permission, violators will not be killed, I did not expect that just after more than 100 years, there are people who disobey Taizong's order, it is really chilling!

It just so happens that tomorrow is a good day, and we will wait for the believers to bathe and change clothes to greet the saint, and we will not say anything else, but only that we are homesick and sincerely ask the saint to allow us to go home."

As soon as this remark came out, it really cost Li Ye's life.

Because since Taizong, the imperial court has been very tolerant of the Hu people, politically regardless of borders, open arms, economically regardless of ethnicity, competition to make a living, ethnicity regardless of Hu and Han, all of them are subjects, Hu people have almost integrated into all aspects of the city, and they also let the world know that there is a powerful Tang Dynasty in the far east, all of which are indispensable to these people.

Moreover, the ancestor of the high priest also saved Li Shimin's life when he was killed, which made the Persians living in Buzheng Fang even more unscrupulous, so that no one dared to provoke him.

Li Ye hurriedly apologized: "The road back to the hometown is long and long, the priest must not make a mistake, our younger generations have listened to the teachings since childhood, and regard the high priest as a relative, this king is also willing to support the high priest with the treatment of the emperor's relatives and relatives, the fifteenth day of the first month to offer rare treasures, gold and silver to distribute to the believers, this king will also renovate the facilities of the Buzheng Workshop in front of the saint, and let the high priest be promoted to three levels to serve the saint every day, I don't know if the high priest is satisfied"

The high priest listened to Li Ye's conditions, and did not show his attitude, but stretched his waist, yawned, and spoke to the believers.

"At the end of today's prayer, and the priest is tired, go back to sleep, and then go back to rest. Don't do anything wrong (Persian)"

After that, the believers dispersed in a hurry, and just when someone carried Xiao Wu away, a letter was pulled out from Xiao Wu's cuffs and let the sharp-eyed Xiao Jinniang see it, she leaned over, quickly picked it up without leaving a trace, stuffed it into her clothes, and then walked to Li Ye like a child who made a mistake and lowered her head and waited for him to reprimand herself.
