And the great master has the emperor's weight, but he has no grade, to put it bluntly, it sounds quite bluffing, but in fact, he is not serious at all!

Moreover, now this "strange case" in Beijing, he was originally intended to investigate and deal with it, and the national teacher was involved, and he was summoned by others to act in accordance with the rules!

What's more –

The words are all released, and it's not good to call Ji Cheng back again, isn't it......

Master Cheng felt comfortable in his heart and cheered himself up until Ji Cheng returned.

What came with Ji Cheng was not Ji Xiao, but a disciple of Ji Xiao.

"Why don't you see the national teacher coming-" Cheng Ran asked with a frown.

"Amitabha, Master was summoned by His Majesty to the palace to chant sutras today, and he has not yet returned at this time, so the poor monk came out on his behalf." The monk's tone was calm.

Cheng Ran said: "This matter is very important, there is no reason to come forward on behalf of the official, and the official still needs to ask the national teacher in person for the details." Since the national teacher is still in the palace, then the master will bring a word for the official after he goes back - the official is here waiting for the national teacher to come to confront him after leaving the palace. ”

"My lord, the poor monk should listen to this."

The monk said: "It's just that the poor monk has a word, but he has to say it." ”

Cheng Ran said patiently: "As long as it's not a word that disturbs the court, it's okay to say it." ”

The monk looked at Su Gongzi and said: "Now the city is when strange things are happening frequently, and the family teacher is looking for a way to save the people day and night, but this person is slandering the reputation of the family teacher for no reason and no reason at this time, and everyone knows about it——"

Cheng Ran listened calmly.

Su Gongzi is indeed unsubstantiated at present, but the monk first mentioned that Jixiao was summoned to the palace, and at this time he said that he would find a way to rescue him day and night - this is simply putting pressure on him, the capital mansion Yin.

The monk paused for a moment, his expression became more and more awe-inspiring, and he folded his hands and said, "This person's immoral behavior can be called ill-intentioned. If Master Cheng can't restrain him in time, I'm afraid he will anger the gods. ”

Cheng Ran's eyebrows jumped wildly.

Where is this to put pressure on him in a different way, it is simply a blatant threat to him!

Jixiao, a disciple, dared to be so arrogant...... It seems that the previous incident of the Bai family not only failed to weaken Jixiao's confidence, but made him more and more rampant!

Anger the gods?

Hehe, he is not disrespectful to the gods, but he has received a secret letter from the prince last night, and he is sure that what this Su Gongzi said is true - if there are really gods, it is impossible not to know who is the one with a ghost in his heart.

As soon as the monk said this, the people gathered outside the hall immediately talked about it.

Su Gongzi in the hall came back to his senses and said loudly: "I dare to swear here, if what I said today is half untrue, I am willing to be thundered by the sky!"

Isn't it just talking to the gods, and it doesn't seem like anyone!

"Silence!"

Cheng Ran looked at the noisy people, frowned and patted the shocking wood.

However, as soon as the four were quiet for a moment, they suddenly heard a commotion outside the gate of the Beijing Ya, and a frightened shout came: "Oh no! Something is wrong! The gods are angry! …… The moat eats people! ”

"What?!"

"Moat cannibalism?"

The people were shocked, and suddenly someone rushed out to ask for details.

Seeing this, Cheng Ran immediately ordered the officials to bring the few people who shouted into the hall for questioning.

"The sky is blue and the sun is white, why are you alarmist here!"

Several people were so frightened that they hurriedly knelt down, and one of the men wearing a long coat with coarse cloth patches said in a trembling voice: "Your Excellency...... It's really not that we're alarmist, but that the moat really eats people! ”

"Then tell me, how can the moat eat people?"

is a well-endowed moat, why can't you think of it and eat people with a mouth?

"A boatman disappeared last night!"

Cheng Ran scolded: "Not to mention the wind and rain last night, even if there were occasional accidents with boatmen on weekdays, how can it be concluded that it is a moat eating people?" This is not a lie, what is it! ”

"No...... That's not all! ”

Another old man trembled and said, "My lord doesn't know, the north moat ...... That part of the river has become a river of blood! Horribly very! ”

"River of Blood?" Cheng Ran frowned slightly.

"The river was all red for miles...... It's like it's bloodstained! ”

"It's what I saw with my own eyes, and I'm going back to the city to report the news!"

"Such strange things, but I have never seen or heard of them......"

Cheng Ran raised his hand to signal a few people to calm down, and immediately asked people to go to check the authenticity.

The monk on the side sighed slightly, and recited the sentence with compassion on his face: "Amitabha Buddha ......"

After his recitation, the people came back to their senses, and for a time they were both uneasy and resentful.

The uneasiness is due to the fact that such strange things have occurred, which must be the signs of the gods' sin;

A sense of resentment was directed at Su Gongzi in the hall - if it weren't for the fact that this person was confused by lard and slandered the great teacher, how could he have caused such a disaster!

Listening to the scolding of the people behind him, Su Gongzi was not to be outdone: "I said that he has witchcraft!" Thinking about it, it's just his trick! ”

The monk looked at him, shook his head slowly, and said, "So far, the donor still doesn't know how to repent......

Seeing his high-minded fake compassion, Su Gongzi was angry and anxious, and he was about to take off his boots and smash them in the other party's face.

However, before he could put this idea into action, he suddenly heard a woman's cry.

"Please, my lord, make the decision for the poor man of the people's wife!"

Cheng Ran, who had long been accustomed to all kinds of opening remarks, passed people into the hall with a calm face.

The woman, who was crying so hard that she could not stand steadily, was helped in by two kind people.

After listening to the other party's crying, Cheng Ran roughly understood the situation.

It turned out that the woman's husband was the unlucky man who was "eaten" by the moat.

But the words became more and more deviant, and the woman's exact words were more accurate—her husband had been fishing for a living in the upper reaches of the north moat and near the long river on weekdays, and had encountered a storm last night, and it seemed that he had not gone down the river, but had moored the boat on the shore, but this morning she searched for it, but saw that the cabin was empty, and only half of the dried steamed buns he had eaten.

Cheng Ran asked: "It's just that no one is missing, maybe he went to another place to avoid the rain last night and didn't return home in time, or maybe he went into the city early in the morning to buy." It's still early, and you haven't seen the body, how can you be sure that something has happened to him? ”

The woman cried for a moment.

After a while, he hurriedly said: "It's because when I went, the river was red, and the people around the river said that the moat was eating people!" And he is the most frugal on weekdays, and he has to pick up half of the steamed buns, not to mention that the steamed buns are only half eaten...... Something must have happened! ”

In fact, she was also frightened by everyone's words.

As soon as she shouted a few times by the river, someone surrounded her, saying that the moat was eating people, and when she was so frightened that she couldn't possess her body, she heard someone say, "Go to the yamen to report to the official", she didn't care much, so she came busy.

"Evil......

"Now the city is chaotic enough, and this person still doesn't know how to slander the great master!"

"That is, the great master is the reincarnation of the Buddha of the Western Heavens...... I've been slandered a lot lately, and this time I can't even see the gods......"

Cheng Ran did not stop the discussion of the people, but instead calmly ate a few sips of throat tea.

There is no way, people have confidence, and they are naturally not in a hurry when they start working.
