Chapter 13: Breaking Up

Sakura Ling and I set off early in the morning and continued to walk towards Shenqiu.

On the way, I often want to turn back to the White Horse Temple first, but I can't say anything, I remember that Sakura Ling once said that she was going to Shenqiu to go with me, I was afraid that as soon as I said it, Sakura Ling and I would have to walk separately.

After being entangled like this for half a month, it is getting farther and farther away from the White Horse Temple.

On the night of the sixteenth day, I pondered repeatedly, how could I find out the conflict between Master Yan and my uncle if I didn't go to the White Horse Temple? I secretly made up my mind and told Sakura the next morning that I was going to Hakuba-ji Temple.

The morning in the town of Liansi was especially lively, and Sakura Ling and I were eating wontons on the street.

Sakura Ling looked at me a little sullen and asked me what was wrong.

I hesitated and said I wanted to go to Hakubaji Temple. She said then go to the White Horse Temple, why are you so depressed.

I said, aren't you going to Shenqiu?

Sakura Ling stared at me and smiled, silly boy, it turns out that you are unhappy because we are about to break up.

The owner of the wonton shop brought two bowls of wontons to the table and said that it was not easy to come together after a hundred years of repairing in the same boat and sleeping together for a thousand years. Little girl, don't talk about breaking up in vain.

I was shocked to find out that Sakura Ling hadn't changed into men's clothes these days.

Ying Ling was explaining to the wonton boss: Uncle, you misunderstood, the breakup I said is not the breakup you said, I mean to separate, each going its own way.

The boss said that is not what I meant?

I was in a low mood and said to Sakura, after eating this bowl of wontons, let's go our separate ways and go our separate ways.

The boss came up and grabbed the wontons and said don't eat them, you will break up after eating the wontons, others still think that there is a problem with my wontons, who will dare to eat them in the future.

I don't know what's going on with the boss, but I'm not in the mood to pay attention to him. Sakura Ling didn't follow, pulling the boss and yelling, he had to get the wontons back.

I shouted, Sakura.

Sakura Ling said, you wait for me to be reasonable with this boss again, how can there be a reason to sell wontons to people and take them back?

I said it's not about ravioli now, it's about us breaking up.

When the wonton boss heard this, he jumped up and said that if you don't eat wontons, you also want to break up?

Sakura Ling said, what's the matter with you, the boss? You sell your wontons, and we talk about our breakup, what do you care about us?

I said, Sakura, can we not talk about ravioli?

There was a customer at the table next to him who couldn't stand it, and said that you break up and divide it somewhere else, don't divide it here, can I still eat wontons if you continue to quarrel like this?

Someone at the other table said that if you want to blame this matter, you can only blame the wonton boss for being nosy. People divide other people's hands, and he mixes blindly in the middle, what is his business?

The owner of the wonton shop rushed over and said, "Why is it none of my business? Have you ever heard that you would rather demolish a temple than a marriage? The two of them are going to break up after eating wontons at my place, can I leave it alone?

A monk at the next table stood up and said, "In order to prevent others from breaking up, we can demolish our monk's temple?"

Someone replied: Why can't it be dismantled? If there is no marriage, there will be no heirs, where will anyone come from to be a monk and a Taoist? No one will be a monk or a Taoist.

There happened to be a few Taoist priests sitting at the other table, and one Taoist priest said angrily: What do you say the monk is involved with our Taoist priest?

The man said stiffly: Isn't the Taoist priest a human being?

The monk was arguing with the man, and when he saw that the man was arguing with the Taoist priest again, he changed his words and said: Who knows if the Taoist priest is born or not, and I have always heard that the old Taoist of the cow nose is born of a cow.

When the Taoist priest heard the monk scolding them, he scolded back: Bald donkey, your mouth is clean, I think the monk is not born, but born of a donkey.

When the monk saw the Taoist priest reply, he took out his sword and slashed it on the table, saying, "There is a kind of repetition that the monk was born of a donkey."

Several Taoist priests had never practiced martial arts, and when they saw that the monk had brought weapons, they were silent.

At this time, there was a catch fast patrol street, a few Taoist priests saw it and quickly pulled two catchers to come, pointed to the monk and said that he was going to commit murder, the catcher came over and asked the monk to speak, the monk said that the monk scolded him for his bald donkey, the Taoist priest said that the monk scolded them first, and the catcher saw that they said that the public was reasonable, and the mother said that the mother was reasonable, and asked the owner of the wonton stall to ask. The boss didn't dare to hide it, and explained the matter clearly before and after.

One of the slightly taller catchers pointed to me and Sakura Ling after listening to it and said: I understand, it turns out that these things were caused by the breakup of this little couple at the wonton stall. After all, these two should not break up here.

The dwarf catcher did not agree, and said: I think it was caused by the nosy of the owner of the wonton stall, not that he mentioned the temple and Taoism unscrupulously, involving religious beliefs, how could there be a quarrel between monks and Taoists in the future?

The catch at the high point was a little displeased, and although he said so, the reason why the owner of the wonton stall was unscrupulous was also because the two broke up.

The shorter catcher said seriously, I don't have the law to break up at the wonton stall.

The high point of the catch fast said, Zhao catches fast, I have been in the industry for ten years, and this kind of experience is much richer than yours. You've just entered the six doors, and it's inevitable that your judgment will be biased.

The shorter catcher said that Zhang Zhukuai didn't know, although I entered the industry late, but I was born in a professional class, and I studied the law major, no matter how you judge, you must always be based on the law.

Zhang Zhukuai was a little annoyed and said, "You mean I said something wrong?"

Zhao Zhu quickly bowed and said: Don't dare. There is no right or wrong, but there is right and wrong.

Zhang Zhukuai sneered: Okay, let's go to the court and ask the county magistrate to determine the rights and wrongs of the matter.

Zhao Zhukuai also said: It just so happens that the Gao County Order came here to work today, so it is better to call the Gao County Order to conclude and conclude.

Zhang Zhukuai said: Okay, please.

Zhao Zhu is about to ask everyone from our wonton stall to follow us to the yamen. Everyone had no choice but to follow.

On the way, I asked the owner of the wonton shop to know that Liansi Town is between Fugou County and Honggou County, and the boundary between the two counties is in Liansi Town, and the local people are unwilling to divide one town into two. If there is a case, it is also the case that the two counties order to decide the case together.

After saying that, the boss complained that we broke up at his stall and caused trouble, which caused us to lose a day's business. Of course, Sakura Ling didn't spare people, blaming him for taking care of our breakup for no reason, which made us delay the trip.

When we arrived at the mansion, the two arresters quickly went in to report and called us to the lobby together. There are two cases in the lobby, placed side by side, and the officials on both sides are lined up with long sticks. One of the officers beat the drum, the drum stopped, and the officials on both sides shouted "mighty" in unison, and the two county commanders came out and took their seats.

The surname of the county commander of Fugou County is Xu, and the surname of the county commander of Honggou County is Gao. Xu County ordered fat intestines and big belly, while Gao County ordered to be thinner.

The two county commanders asked each other about the catch, and after knowing the matter, in order to prove that what he said was right, the owner of the wonton stall told the story again.

Xu Xian Ling groaned slightly, and said, Zhang Catch, you are also a person who is about to be promoted to the head of the arrest, how could the judgment be wrong like this? Do you complain about the breakup of the young couple? Can you tell me if you can't break up in my court? Has the imperial court set up a special venue for breaking up? Is there anyone in my court who has been convicted of breaking up? It's just child's knowledge.

When Gao Xianling heard it, he knew that Xu Xianling deliberately gave himself face, and he also scolded Zhao Zhu, saying that you are a high-achieving student, and you were ranked eighty-ninth in the imperial examination Honggou County. What is wrong with the owner of the wonton stall? If a warm-hearted person who helps others is found guilty, in the future, the world will only be in the world, and the people's hearts will not be ancient. You're fooling around.

When Xu Xianling heard this, he was very satisfied, and he turned his head to discuss with Gao Xianling, and announced in court that the owner of the wonton stall, me and Yingling were not guilty of the case of the street quarrel between the monk and the Taoist priest, and the monk and the Taoist priest were both religious figures, and the government did not pursue any responsibility for the religious figures of the two factions in line with the purpose of respecting religion, believing in religion, and trusting religion. The first person to speak out and be disgusted with the noise that affects his eating wontons, knowing that the wonton stall is a public place, accuses others of breaking up and making loud noises for no reason, and actively provokes disputes, trying to cause discord between the two factions of Buddhism and Taoism, and achieve his ulterior goals. Its morality and its corruption are even more outrageous. Therefore, he was sentenced to 12 canes and two years' imprisonment, which was to be executed immediately.

Then the official pulled down the pants of the first noisy man to his heels and pressed the "snapping" rod on the ground. The man screamed while being beaten: "The grass people are wronged, I just ate a bowl of wontons......

Gao Xu ordered the two counties to leave the court after the execution was completed.

After retiring, the two county magistrates did not forget to shake hands with us one by one, saying that you have worked hard and caused you to run in vain. The owner of the wonton stall was so moved that he couldn't cry on the spot when he heard this.

When Xu Xianling shook hands with the Taoist priests, he said, "Ladies and gentlemen, the second uncle of the official and his father's old watch have just passed away, and the second uncle entrusted me to find someone who is doing the practice, and I happen to meet you here, I wonder if you can appreciate your face and help the second uncle of the official and his father's old watch to do a ritual."

The Taoist priests nodded again and again with a smile on their faces and said: Xu County's order worked hard for the people, worked hard, and became thinner and thinner. The common people see it in their eyes and feel pain in their hearts. We can do our best to share the worries of Xu County, which is a great honor for our Xuanzhen Temple. When to set off, where to go, as long as Xu Xianling sends someone to Xuanzhen Temple to speak, we will do our best to make the old man over.

Xu Xianling's eyes were filled with tears, and he clasped the hands of the Taoist priests and said, "Thank you so much."

At this time, Gao Xianling shook hands with the monk and said: The official's nephew and daughter-in-law just bought a ploughing cow and wanted to ask the master to help open up the cow. I wonder if the master is empty in the near future?

The monk hurriedly said: Gao County ordered you to say what you are talking about, and the word "please" is too out-of-the-box. Our Dafu Temple can have today, not because of the blessing of the high county order. If the crows and sparrows still know how to give back, how can we monks not be grateful? As long as the day is set by the Gao County Order, the whole temple will definitely be present to open the light for the ploughing cattle. On behalf of Dafu Temple, I promise to Gao County Commander that we will definitely have a good light and a good show!

Gao Xianling was so moved that he nodded again and again, and said yes, yes.

Ying Ling glanced at them with disdain, and I was about to leave, but I heard Xu County Ling say to Gao County Order: Brother Xian, when it comes to opening light, Dafu Temple is good at it, but the Taoist leaders of Xuanzhen Temple have opened many shops, and all of them have prosperous business, rolling financial resources, and they are very effective. Virtuous brother might as well give it a try. Brother must remind you that the current prince's master is Zhang Tianshi Zhang Zhenren, and the prince will inherit the unification in the future, and he will definitely vigorously support Taoism. It is difficult for officials who believe in Buddhism in the DPRK and China to have a good death. You and I have been in the officialdom for many years, and you should know the three flavors.

Gao Xianling smiled: My brother is right. But the four princes are assisted by Master Zhengyan, the four princes are diligent and studious, intelligent and deeply popular with the people. Next year is the day of the two factions of Buddhism and Taoism, and the younger brother heard that there are immortal geniuses in Shaolin Temple, and it is difficult to say whether he will win or lose next year. If Master Zhengyan becomes a protector, I am afraid that the officials who believe in the Tao will not have good results. Brother, don't be careless.

Xu Xianling laughed, and said that the future will be talked about in the future, what are you and I talking about here. Let's go, drink and go.

Gao Xianling also smiled: Exactly, go, drink.
