Chapter 283: Developments
"It's too early for the Void Prison Temple to say this." Cheng Weizhe suddenly spoke, "Master Abbot had an accident, your first reaction was not to find out the truth, but just to put all the blame on this disciple called Xuanhe, don't you feel a little anxious?" ”
After the accident of Abbot Pumin, this courtyard was blocked, and Wen Xize summoned Wen Zhiyu, Lianzhi, Cheng Weizhe, Gu Shiqi and Mo Junting to come in. As the supervisor of the temple, Miao Kong was going to come to the scene, Xuanhe was the first to find out, so he naturally wanted to stay, and as for the few small monks who were guarding outside, they were also witnesses, so they came in together.
At this moment, there were many people standing in the small meditation room, and the lingering smell of blood was diffusing in the air, which was disturbing.
Wen Xize was already dissatisfied with Miaokong, and when he saw that he wanted to blame Xuanhe, he was even more annoyed in his heart, but no one thought that it was Cheng Weizhe who spoke out first.
Miao Kong looked at Cheng Weizhe: "The poor monk was looking for the real murderer for the abbot just now, this Xuanhe is the most suspicious, can't the poor monk say it?" ”
"Everything must pay attention to one evidence, may I ask what evidence does the Miaokong Prison Temple have?" Cheng Weizhe asked.
"The abbot's affairs will be handled by our Tianying Temple, and there is no need for the champion to worry too much." When Miao Kong said this, he was almost threatening Cheng Weizhe and asking him not to worry about the affairs of Tianying Temple. In fact, Miaokong's words are also reminding Wen Xize that the affairs of Tianying Temple do not need royal intervention.
Indeed, this seems to be the custom of the founding of Western Chu, Tianying Temple cannot meddle in the affairs of the royal family, and the royal family cannot meddle in the internal affairs of Tianying Temple. Therefore, even Wen Xize couldn't interfere in the death of Abbot Pumin.
Miao Kong wanted Wen Xize to leave with the others: "Your Majesty, the matter of the abbot master will naturally give the monks of Tianying Temple an answer, the Buddha's Day is still as usual, the emperor doesn't have to worry." ”
Wen Xize knew that Pu Min's death was strange, but now that Miao Kong didn't let him interfere, he had no choice.
Gu Shiqi stepped forward at this time: "Miao Kong Jian Temple, the Buddha's Festival is very important and cannot be interrupted, and the emperor and all the nobles still have to stay in Tianying Temple." But such a big thing happened in Tianying Temple, and the abbot master's death was unknown, how could you let the people who stayed in Tianying Temple not worry? ”
"The cause of the abbot's death will naturally be found out by the poor monk."
"Miao Kong Jian Temple, if what you said is to find out that it is to convict a monk casually like just now, how can you reassure us?" Gu Shiqi pressed step by step, "The emperor is a body of ten thousand gold, who knows if this person who does it to the abbot master will have any thoughts about the emperor?" Even if you use the entire Tianying Temple as a guarantee, we can't accept it. ”
Miao Kong looked at Gu Shiqi and knew that today's events could not be passed easily: "Then what do you want?" ”
Gu Shiqi looked at Wen Xize: "Your Majesty, this matter is related to your safety, and I hope you will call the shots." ”
Wen Xize said directly: "The death of Abbot Pumin, your Tianying Temple wants to investigate, and I will not stop it." But during the Buddha's Festival, I will also arrange for someone to investigate the matter, if the Buddha's Day is over, I don't find anything, and naturally I won't pursue it again. ”
Miao Kong was afraid that Wen Xize would take this opportunity to stretch out his hand to Tianying Temple, and was thinking about how to refuse, Mo Junting spoke: "Miao Kong Jian Temple, is there anything in Tianying Temple that can't be checked?" ”
Hearing this, Miao Kong could only respond: "Naturally, there is no, if the emperor wants to track down the abbot's affairs, the poor monk will never stop him." But the emperor also said just now that if it can't be found out during the Buddha's Festival, it will no longer be investigated, and the matter of the abbot master will still be taken over by Tianying Temple. ”
"Okay." Wen Xize agreed.
At this moment, several monks walked in: "Master Jian Temple, a few little monks have caught a sneaky person around. ”
As they spoke, they brought in the man who had been captured, and the man wrapped himself in a black robe, so that he could not see his face clearly.
Miao Kong stepped forward, directly lifted his black robe, and after seeing his face clearly, he frowned: "Shanci, why are you here?" ”
Shanci raised his head and looked at the void: "Master of the Temple, the little monk just wants to come back and take a look at the abbot." As soon as she finished speaking, she had already seen Pumin's body, "Abbot, how can it be?" ”
Miao Kong looked at him expressionlessly: "Shanci, you have been kicked out of Tianying Temple, and now you suddenly come back, the abbot has an accident, saying, do you have a grudge against the abbot, so you attacked him?" ”
Shanci shook his head: "I didn't, I just want to come back and see the abbot again......" Shanci's eyes were full of tears, and he couldn't believe the scene he watched, how could Pu Min die?
"You were kicked out of Tianying Temple by the abbot, not only did you not have a little resentment, but secretly ran back to see the abbot, who do you think will believe it?" Miku asked.
Xuanhe stepped forward to intercede for Shanci: "Master Jian Temple, Shanci will not harm the abbot." ”
"Xuanhe, you are also suspicious now, and you dare to intercede for others, it's ridiculous." Miao Kong mocked, "Come on, take Xuanhe and Shanci down and take care of them." ”
"Wait." Lian Zhi spoke, "The bones of Abbot Pumin are not cold, and the Miaokong Prison Temple is afraid that it is inappropriate to treat his disciples like this, right?" ”
Miaokong's events today were interrupted again and again, and she was resentful in her heart: "Then what does the crown princess think the poor monk should do, now Xuanhe and Shanci are the most suspicious people, can't they still be taken care of?" ”
"Master Miaokong naturally has his own rules and regulations for doing things, and this palace has no intention of interfering, but this palace sees that Shanci and Xuanhe have a deep friendship with Abbot Pumin's master and apprentice, so it is better to lock them up in this courtyard first, so as to prepare for the aftermath of Abbot Pumin."
Miao thought for a while: "Since this is the case, then according to what the crown princess said, the two of you will stay here and are not allowed to go anywhere." Shanci, you have already been kicked out of Tianying Temple, and now it is already tolerant to let you stay here, don't cause trouble anymore. ”
"Thank you, Master Jianji." Kindness responds.
Wen Xize wanted to send someone to examine Pu Min's body, but was directly stopped by Miaokong: "Your Majesty, the abbot is a person with profound Buddhism, even if it is a corpse, it can't be examined by anyone." ”
Wen Xize didn't want to force Miao Kong too hard: "Since this is the case, then I won't examine the body of Abbot Pumi." ”
"It's getting late at night, so don't stay here." Miao Kong said, this time Wen Xize left directly with everyone.
On the way back, Wen Xize said: "The three of you bought some time just now, but there are still two days to leave Tianying Temple, within two days, can you find out the cause of Pu Min's death?" ”
Gu Shiqi replied: "Your Majesty, the ministers and others have been restricted a lot in Tianying Temple, and that Miao Kong is bent on preventing us from investigating the cause of Pu Min's death, this matter is not easy to do. ”
Wen Xize was laughed angrily: "You are really telling the truth." ”
"Your Majesty, the ministers must do their best." Gu Shiqi responded.
Wen Xize didn't pay attention to him anymore, but looked at Wen Zhiyu: "Prince, what do you think about this matter?" ”
"Father, the abbot has an accident that follows Miaokong's thoughts, he wants to take power, so naturally he will not care about the follow-up development of this matter. The reason why he was afraid of us tracking down was that he was afraid that we would discover the secret of Tianying Temple, but the death of Abbot Pumin still opened a hole for us. ”
"You're right, Miaokong didn't want to give me a chance, but unfortunately I still found a chance." Wen Xize looked at Cheng Weizhe, Gu Shiqi and Mo Junting again, "Today, I specially sent the three of you to the meditation room, just to believe in the ability of the three of you, remember, you must find out something within two days, don't let me down." ”
The three of them hurriedly replied: "The ministers will definitely live up to the emperor's trust." ”
Wen Xize asked Wen Zhiyu again: "Prince, do you think it will be a small empty hand?" ”
"It stands to reason that Miaokong is the most suspicious, but even if he really has such a mind, he will not do it during the Buddha's Advent Festival. Therefore, Erchen did not dare to assert. ”
Wen Xize pondered Wen Zhiyu's words: "You can help in this matter, and the two disciples of the abbot of Pumin should not be taken lightly. ”
"Yes!"
Wen Xize went back first, and then Cheng Weizhe and Mo Junting also went back separately, leaving only Gu Shiqi, Wen Zhiyu and Lianzhi.
Gu Shiqi asked: "With the empty style of acting, it will definitely block our investigation, what should we do?" ”
"Abbot Pumin's death was miserable, the room was messy, and it was indeed terrifying to look at. But I don't see that there is no fear on Abbot Pumin's face, and there are so many wounds on his body, it is definitely not a fatal blow, why don't you call for help? I don't think he's imprisoned, he can call for help, but he gave up this opportunity. Lianzhi analyzed.
Gu Shiqi exclaimed: "The crown princess is really thoughtful, and there are indeed many suspicious things about the death of the abbot of Pumin, but these alone can't prove anything." ”
"So we're going to examine his body now." Lianzhi's answer was a matter of course.
Wen Zhiyu and Gu Shiqi said in unison: "What did you say?" ”
Lian Zhi glanced at him twice: "Don't pretend to be stupid, I don't believe you don't want to check the body of Abbot Pumin, now is the best time, Miao Kong definitely didn't think that we would go and return, and it would be too late until dawn." Do you want to go? ”
Wen Zhiyu immediately replied: "You said so, can you not go?" Let's go! ”
