Lin Nuoya is like an amnesty, but Baili Jiu is more worried. Because, many of the people of King Yin and Qin Tianjian are the disciples of the Taishi!

Not to mention whether they will give him this charge for a hundred miles and nine years, even if it is delayed, it can also consume Noya half to death.

But now that the queen has spoken, and has tolerated Noah, where do she dare to take an inch again and again? Therefore, I could only thank you sweetly, and took Nuoya out of Yide Palace, went straight back to the house, and then discussed it in the long run.

The two of them knew about this matter, and they must not be able to escape from Li Mingzu, it was clear that he was suspicious, secretly manipulated, and used this matter to frame Nuoya and deliberately target her. However, in front of the queen, the two were dumb and couldn't tell the difference. Why? There are three reasons for this:

First, once the matter of pretending to be a ghost and cleaning up Li Mingzu is revealed, then the General's Mansion and the Prince's Mansion, the Taishi's Mansion, and even the Queen will inevitably have a bad relationship and tear their faces.

Second, this matter is absurd, and if Jin Niang is involved, no one may believe it.

Third, they did not have the slightest evidence to prove that Li Mingzu had done it. Even if you are calm, I am afraid that it will not help.

If you want to prove your innocence, the most important thing is to be able to prove that the statue was deliberately planted by others, not by Bailijiu and Lin Nuoya.

But how easy is it to say? The only clue is the few people who sent the statue to Fenglin Temple. However, since Li Mingzu deliberately planted the blame, he naturally would not leave a little clue for himself to track down. How difficult is it to find a needle in a haystack?

The two went straight back to the general's mansion, which was also a mess, and the old lady had already received the news that the queen was to blame, and was furious because of this matter, calling the guards at the door and several subordinates to him, and reprimanded him with a head and face.

It turned out that Fenglin Temple did send a little monk to the General's Mansion for questioning that day, but was blocked by the guards. The little monk told the guards at the door about his intentions, and what he said was somewhat vague, so he asked the Ninth Master if the Guanyin statue sent by the Ninth Master was a little inappropriate, and whether he would continue to do it according to the Ninth Master's wishes? Ask the guards to come to the house and spread the word.

The guard felt that it was just a small matter the size of a sesame mung bean, and he didn't take it to heart, so he didn't inquire carefully about the reason, so he went straight to the butler, and the butler instructed the servant, so that you pass me, I pass you, and when you get to the old lady, it will change its taste.

The old lady was talking to An Ruoxi and Qin Zhong'er, and when she heard the servant come in and come back, she asked: "A little monk from Fenglin Temple asked the Ninth Master something, saying that there was something wrong with the Guanyin statue, do you want to continue to follow the Ninth Master's explanation?" ”

The old lady knew about the reconstruction of the Martyrs' Shrine in Fenglin Temple, but she didn't know what it was, Qin Bao'er and An Ruoxi were understated on the side, so they nodded and responded: "How did the Ninth Master explain in advance, everything will be done, if there is anything wrong, he will consider it when he returns to Beijing." ”

In this way, by mistake, the little monk got a reply, so he went directly back to Fenglin Temple and told him to go, causing today's trouble.

The Baili Jiu general told the old lady and the old general about entering the palace to meet the queen, and the matter of punishing Li Mingzu could not contain the fire in the paper, and he also admitted it calmly. The old general was indignant at Li Mingzu's smashing of the tablet of the martyrs, and he did not reprimand the two, but applauded again and again.

Empress Yizhi left a flaw, saying that Baili Jiu would not be allowed to leave the house from tomorrow, that is, there would be one night of freedom today. He didn't dare to delay, and he didn't care about dinner, so after recruiting Yuanbao to understand the situation, he went straight to Fenglin Temple.

Fenglin Temple has closed the door to thank the guests, Baili Jiu stepped forward to knock on the door, after the little monk stepped forward to ask clearly, he knew that it was the big patron of the temple who came, and he didn't dare to slack off, so he quickly opened the door and led him straight to the main hall.

The monks in the main hall have dispersed their evening classes, and the smashed place has been basically repaired, and the Buddha statue has been re-gilded, and the treasure is solemn and strict.

Master Yi Yi is not in the temple these days, he went to other places to debate the Buddha and preach the Fa, and the monk Wu Yu temporarily took over the temple affairs, otherwise if he was wise and foolish, there would be no such absurd thing.

The great monk greeted him with a vain smile, and told Bailijiu in detail what happened, and told Bailijiu all the appearances of the people who sent the statue, and there were no significant characteristics, and it was not easy to find clues based on this. Moreover, he told Baili Jiu in vain that Jing Zhaoyin had sent someone to paint the portrait in advance and arrested a few people everywhere, and I heard that he had arrested a hundred and ten Buddha-looking people in one day, and after the interrogation, he released all of them.

Bailijiu turns the main hall, behind the Buddha statue, sit south to north to worship the statue of Manjushri, Fuxian, Guanyin three great scholars, the statue of Guanyin has been covered with a layer of red cloth, the whole statue is covered tightly.

He tore off the red cloth, isn't the statue of Guanyin the imitation of Lin Nuoya's eyebrows? Lifelike, but where you have seen it, you can recognize it at a glance, it can be seen that the carving is fine and superb, and it must be from everyone's hands.

Bailijiu carefully examined, the statue is carved with common white marble, and the provenance of the stone is impossible to verify. He took the oil lamp in his hand, turned it on, and carefully observed it from top to bottom, not letting go of any small detail. Because, all skilled craftsmen have a habit of always trying to leave a mark on all the proud works they produce. Even if there is a custom-made master who is not happy and explains in advance, he can't help but itch his hands, find a hidden, unnoticeable place, and secretly leave a seal number.

After looking up and down, but finding nothing, he turned to the back of the Guanyin statue, examined it again, and finally found a clue. On the willow branch of the net bottle in the master's hand, a small willow leaf was missing for no reason, and the fracture was flat and unpolished.

Baili Jiu pointed to that place and asked the monk Wuyu: "Why is there a willow leaf missing here?" But the monks in the temple didn't care about destroying it? ”

The monk shook his head and said: "The monks are devout to the Buddha, where can anyone dare to damage the statue of Guanyin?" Sins, sins, sins. ”

Then he came closer, looked at it carefully, and said strangely: "It really seems that someone has broken a piece of it." ”

"Could it be that Jing Zhaoyin's people are hairy?"

Wuyu shook his head more affirmatively: "They just came over to go through the motions and ask a few words, where has anyone approached this statue?" But some of the people heard about it and pointed at the statue, so we covered it with a red cloth, so that we would not be disrespectful to the Bodhisattva and desecrate the Bodhisattva's treasure. ”

"That's what was damaged when it was delivered?" Bailijiu muttered to himself suspiciously, such a small detail, the sculptor master made a mistake, and he didn't notice it or necessarily, so he didn't care about it anymore.

Wu Wei lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then raised his head and said casually: "But yesterday a strange man came in and stopped in front of this statue for a long time. ”

"What does that man look like? How strange is that? Bailijiu felt that a man stared at the statue of his woman for a long time, and his heart was very unhappy, so he asked curiously.

"Dressed in black, with a hat on his head, he was so low that he couldn't see what he looked like. The strangest thing is that he has a bearing, according to the method of meeting people taught by the master, that person is a solemn and murderous feeling, cold and cold, which makes people feel cold all over the body. ”

Baili Jiu's heart is broken, could it be him?! How could he run here at the risk of being wanted? Is it friend or foe? Could it be that Li Mingzu sent an envoy to check if there were any mistakes?

He turned around abruptly and asked eagerly, "What else?" ”

"And?" The great monk frowned and looked thoughtful, and hesitated: "Also, he doesn't make incense, he doesn't worship the Buddha, he just blindly stare at this statue." ”

"I'm asking his person, are there any other characteristics?"

"There is a long sword at his waist, and the bones of his hand are clearly scarred and scarred, and he always holds it on the hilt of the sword, and never leaves his hand. There were no others, after all, there were quite a few pilgrims at that time, and there were many people who gathered around the statue to point out and discuss. ”

Baili Jiu nodded, and then asked the others I don't know, I don't know, I know that there are no clues, and the order is still to cover up the statue, add incense money, please take care of Nuoya from tomorrow, if there is anything, be sure to send someone to the general's mansion to inform. In a mouthful, Bailijiu turned around and went down the mountain in a hurry.

Back in the house, Baili Jiu went straight to Yinian Hall. He thought that there must be a gloomy fog inside, but when he stepped into the door, the room was full of excitement and busyness. Moreover, a few people laughed and laughed, where is the sad look of a star and a half of a catastrophe?

Baili Jiu stepped in with his front feet, and Du Si hurriedly put down the work in his hand, turned around and saluted, "I'll go serve food to the ninth master." ”

Kikyo is guarding the charcoal stove, frying peanuts with sand on it, and stirring it with a shovel in his hand. Lin Nuoya sat on the side, gesturing with her eyebrows, and reached out to pick out the hot and browned peanuts from it and peeled them to eat. In the hot spring villa for the past few days, she has been tired and half dead, how can she ever be so alive?

Bailijiu picked up the cotton bales in the needlework dustpan on the side, and asked strangely, "What is this?" ”

"Knee pads, wrapped around knees, kneeling doesn't hurt so much, and it's not cold."

Snacks were already packed on the table, neatly stacked, and there was a food box next to it.

"What does that mean?"

Noah smiled embarrassedly: "Why do you have to prepare some dry food on the road tomorrow?" It's also good to eat when you're bored. ”

Bailijiu shook his head helplessly: "You went to Fenglin Temple to be punished, not to watch the scenery, everyone is watching, be careful to spread it to the queen's ears, and the crime will be added to the first degree." ”

Noya Nunu mouthed: "I brought a lot, can't I bribe the monks on duty in the main hall when the time comes?" Besides, Kikyo and Twilight will take turns to keep watch for me. ”

Baili Jiu's head was a little big: "Penance still brings people to serve?" You're thinking so beautifully. ”

"Who said they were there for me? They are also pilgrims of incense. Noah retorted solemnly.
