Chapter Eighty-Three: Reversal
"What is this, how is there a doll?" Nanling Xiang was still young, and Concubine Jiang didn't hold her for a while, so she picked it up. There was a doll in his hand, and there was a piece of paper pasted on his back, Nanling Xiang took it off and read: "Jiang Qifen, when you are ugly in the year of Jihai, you are ugly in the month and the moon." Then Nan Lingxiang said to Concubine Jiang with a puzzled look: "Jiang Niangniang, who is this Jiang Qifen, and whose is this eight characters?" ”
"Fourth Miss, don't talk nonsense!" Concubine Jiang hurriedly pulled Nanling Xiang over and covered her mouth with her hand, and scolded her harshly.
After hearing this, the faces of several people present changed, and Mama Gui said: "This, this, this, impossible!! Old Taijun Jiang also looked at Nan Lingmo with incredible eyes, and gradually his eyes became cold.
"This, this, isn't this the old lady's eight characters?!" Concubine Zhang deliberately shouted, "County Lord, the old lady loves you so much, how can you, how can you do such a thing?!" ”
"Oh, second sister, how can you do this! Grandmother loves you the most, do you resent your grandmother for letting you go to the nunnery to keep filial piety for your mother? Anyway, you went to keep filial piety, but you proposed it yourself? No wonder my grandmother has been feeling unwell lately, and I can't find out what the cause is, it turns out that you caused it!! ”
Mrs. Jiang's lips trembled and said, "Mo'er, what is this for?" What are you for!! Mama Jin and Mama Gui supported Mrs. Jiang, almost unable to believe that the thing in front of them was done by Nanling Mo.
"Grandmother, the second sister will never do such a thing, think about it, after the second sister comes back, is it a greeting for you every day, almost never falls, the plasters used for your bad waist and legs are all made by the second sister herself, and the granddaughter's leg is also healed by the second sister, how can the second sister do such a thing if she is so good." Nan Lingxiang finally understood what was happening, and hurriedly took the lead in kneeling in front of Old Taijun Jiang to plead.
Nanling Mo raised her eyes and swept over everyone, and sneered: "Master Xingsen said that this is an evil thing, right?" ”
"That's nature."
"Are you sure?" Nanling Mo asked with a sneer again, her eyes piercing into Xingsen and Xingzhu like knives. Xingzhu shivered slightly, and Xingsen felt a cool breath in his back.
Xing Sen froze his mind, clasped his hands together and said affirmatively: "County Lord, the two poor monks are people outside the party, and people outside the square don't talk about right and wrong in the world. ”
"Hahaha," Nanling Mo suddenly laughed, "If Master Xingsen and the others say so, then all the monks in the world will die of shame for you!" ”
"You!! County Lord, don't be forceful! Xingsen said sharply, "It is disrespectful for you to do this evil thing. ”
Nanling Mo didn't pay attention to the two, and directly stepped forward and knelt down and said, "Grandmother, how can you treat Mo'er and Mo'er don't know in her heart." This was not Mo'er's doing. The old lady saw that the clear color in her eyes did not look like a lie, and she breathed a sigh of relief in her heart. Nan Lingmo continued: "Grandmother, you sit down first, don't worry, your granddaughter can prove her innocence." ”
Meishuang Meixue brought a chair from the house for the old lady to sit down, and Mei Xi brought a cup of tea to the old lady Jiang to drink.
Seeing that Mrs. Jiang was settled, Nanling Mo stood up, picked up the box and the doll and said to the two masters: "The two masters said that this is an evil thing, can the two masters have seen the contents of this box?" ”
"Hmph, you don't have to look at the evil things."
Nanling Mo smiled and took out a piece of rune paper in the box and asked, "Do the two masters know what this is?" ”
"Of course it's a cursed talisman, county lord, you are still young, how can you do such a vicious thing." Xing Sen said solemnly.
"Really?" Nanling Mo smiled, she slowly opened the rune paper, and what was shown in front of everyone was a round rune paper full of Sanskrit, she laughed softly, "Two masters, this is not a curse rune paper, this is a six-character proverb written in Sanskrit drawn by Master Liyun, the abbot of Fayun Temple." ”
"What ?!!" Concubine Zhang cried out in a lost voice, "This is impossible! ”
"Why does Zhang Niangniang think it's impossible?" Nanling Mo smiled, "You see, there is also a secret seal unique to Fayun Temple on it. Nanling Mo beckoned as she spoke, and asked Mei Qian to bring a bowl of rice soup, and sprayed the rice soup on the corner of the six-character proverb talisman, and the dark lines of Fayun Temple really appeared on it.
"This, this, county lord, how can you steal the talisman paper drawn by the abbot himself?" Xing Sen and Xingzhu said with pale faces.
"Criminal!!" At this moment, a loud voice came from outside the courtyard. Everyone looked back, and a monk with immortal wind bones appeared outside the courtyard.
"The poor monk has seen the old lady, the county lord, and the ladies and ladies." Master Zhizhi walked up and made a deep Buddhist salute, and then looked at the two monks standing on the side, and with a wave of his hand, the two immediately knelt on the ground. The two of them were pale and trembling.
"Criminals! Xingzhu, for the teacher to let you and Xingfeng guard Xingsen, I didn't expect the two of you to take advantage of Xingfeng to faint Xingfeng in the middle of the night and escape, and actually came to the palace to swagger and deceive! It's simply a shame for my Fayun Temple! ”
After speaking, Master Lizhi said to Old Taijun Jiang: "Old Taijun, Xingsen has committed many precepts in the temple, so the senior brother of the Precepts Academy imprisoned him in the confinement room for reflection. Unexpectedly, he actually teamed up with Tongzhu to knock out another guard disciple and escaped, and he was still swaggering and deceiving in the palace, which is my Fayun Temple's fault. Please also forgive me, the old lady, the county lord. ”
Mrs. Jiang's face finally eased at this time, and said with a smile: "Master Labor specially ran away, so this matter is a misunderstanding?" ”
"Not really." Master Zhizhi said, "As early as a month ago, the county lord invited people to the temple to pray for his grandmother and father, and put the names of the old lady and the prince in front of the Buddha every day to chant and pray. As he spoke, he took out an identical box from his sleeve and opened it in front of everyone, and there was only a note and a copy of the identical six-character proverb in it, "But a few days ago, the day after this criminal's escape, the temple found that one of the boxes placed in the Mahavira Hall was missing. Master Zhizhi said as he pointed to Xing Sen and said.
"What a coincidence!" Nanling Mei muttered.
"The county lord laughed, it's not a coincidence." "Each box is personally recited by the abbot 7749 times, and is offered in front of the Buddha for 49 days. The old lady's first reading is finished, and the prince's is a few days later. The master made another Buddhist salute and said apologetically: "I think this criminal, he took advantage of the darkness to take one and ran away." ”
"But this box was obviously taken out of the second sister's room!" Nan Lingmei interjected unconvinced, "Everyone saw it with their own eyes, and the second sister said that she didn't know that this box was in the room!" According to the master, you personally invited it! ”
"Big sister's words are good, but I only told the abbot master grandmother and father's name and eight characters, and I didn't write it myself, and the words on this note are not my sister's font!" Nan Lingmo said.
"This ...... This word is indeed not Mo'er's. The old princess read the note and said, and glared at Nanling Mei again, "Mei'er, just watch quietly on the side!" ”
"Does the master know if there is a doll in this box?" Nan Lingmo asked again.
"The doll is a witch thing, how can I be contaminated by people in the Buddhist sect with such an evil and crooked thing." The Master denied it.
Nanling Mo smiled, and said to the two monks who were kneeling on the ground like soil and chaff: "This county lord has never seen two masters, and I don't know where I offended the two masters, and I actually want to frame this county lord like this." ”
Xing Sen was silent, and Xing Zhu stammered in fright and pointed at Xing Sen and said: "It's not a little monk, it's not a little monk, it's all a senior brother, it's all a senior brother...... Before he finished speaking, he suddenly fell to the ground, and a stream of black blood flowed out of his mouth. Xing Sen suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed: "Hahahahahaha, hahahaha," the laughter did not fall, and his eyes rolled and fell back.
"Ahhh Master Zhizhi also said goodbye and returned to Fayun Temple with the body.
"County Lord, is there anything strange about this matter?"
"Naturally." Nanling Mo held the doll and sneered, "Go and check the old lady next to the Zhang family and the stitches on the clothes on this doll." ”
"Yes." Mei Xue took the doll and went out directly.
"County Lord, it's so dangerous today, if you hadn't arranged it in advance, I'm afraid it would be difficult to escape today." Meishuang patted her chest and said.
"Hmph, the Zhang clan really looks up to me," Nanling Mo said coldly, "If such a poisonous plan is confirmed, even if I can still maintain the title of county lord, I am afraid that it will be difficult to leave the family temple." My grandmother only had to send me to the family temple on the grounds that I was sick, and then I told the heavens to be unhealthy and the earth to be spiritual. Concubine Zhang wanted to do something to me at that time, but I just died of illness in the family temple and finally couldn't get married, and the marriage contract was naturally null and void. The prince can't be held accountable yet, after all, I 'died of illness'. ”
When the other three Mei heard this, their faces were as pale as earth, and they secretly thought about today's fear.
"Can quietly send this thing into our yard, Mei Xi Meiqian, go check on the people in our yard to see who it is."
After a few people were ordered to go, Nan Lingmo stopped talking. She closed her eyes and carefully recalled the expressions of everyone present, she remembered Nanling Mei's disdainful expression, and saw the grandmother behind Zhang's secretly wiping her sweat, Zhang's face turned white and white, and she sneered in her heart.
"Princess, this, what can I do?" Mama Zeng, who was following Zhang's family, said nervously.
"There is no proof of death, what are you afraid of?!" Concubine Zhang said sharply, "It's good that you poisoned the tea you gave them before, otherwise this matter would be over today." ”
"That," Mama Zeng thought about Nan Lingmo's face, and hesitated: "The county lord is now older and thoughtful, you see that she refuted one by one today, and also found a master, does the old lady really not doubt it?" ”
"Hehe, she is a teenage girl who must think that she is victorious, as for the old immortal, tomorrow I will take off the hairpin and ask for the guilt, she will forget it, don't worry! Anyway, the witness is dead, and there is no proof of death. "Concubine Zhang said hatefully. Nanling Mo, today is your luck, but this concubine wants to see if you have always been so lucky! ’
