Chapter 215: When the Eve of Dawn Is Dark (15)

On the last day of his vacation, Cao Yanbing did not wait in front of the temple gate, but directly climbed the back mountain of the temple and began to enjoy the majestic scenery.

Seeing the continuity of the capital and the grandeur of the acropolis, Cao Yanbing couldn't help but sigh at the vicissitudes of the ancient capital.

At noon, Cao Yanbing returned to the squatter room, and felt that it was a little uneasy to come to the temple and eat and drink for nothing every day, and then came to the main hall of the temple, and burned a stick of incense very sincerely.

This time the incense burning did not contain the slightest dissatisfaction, simply wanted to worship the Buddha on incense, and did not pray for any good weather, the country and the people, Cao Yanbing did not believe this, but was infected by the atmosphere of the past few days.

After burning the incense, he walked out of the main hall and looked at the prison over there, revealing a chill from the bottom of his heart.

After telling the elder in charge of the dormitory in the temple about what he was leaving, the elder looked at Cao Yanbing's eyes and felt a little wrong in his eyes, and Cao Yanbing felt a trace of surprise in his eyes.

Originally, Cao Yanbing didn't want to ask, but he didn't know why, and blurted out directly: "Master, but what is the matter with me?" ”

"It's nothing, it's just that the donor's aura has improved, and it has improved a lot compared to when I came to Hongyuan Temple, and I don't know what the donor has done."

Cao Yanbing was a little dumbfounded, and secretly sighed at the way these monks cheated money.

The elder seemed to see a trace of boredom in Cao Yanbing's eyes, so he smiled, "Amitabha, my Buddha is merciful, I wish everyone Pudu, today is the old man owes consideration, it is really a sin, a sin, since the donor has nothing to do, then please take care of yourself." ”

After saying that, the old monk left, and let Cao Yanbing go back to the dormitory by himself to get his things and leave.

Cao Yanbing inexplicably returned to the dormitory, looked at his baggage, and saw that there were a few clothes that had been washed white, and he had not been an official for so long without a good dress, which made Cao Yanbing feel a little ridiculous.

Carrying his baggage and walking outside, he met the little monk who had asked him to find the prison before, the little monk looked a little uneasy today, but Cao Yanbing didn't bother.

It's just that when Cao Yanbing walked past him, the little monk suddenly raised his head and said, "Donor, are you leaving?" ”

"yes, what?"

The little monk scratched his little bald head and said, "I don't know if the donor knows someone?" ”

"Who?"

The little monk lowered his head embarrassedly, and began to sweep the floor again, "Nothing, donor walk slowly, Amitabha." ”

"You little monk, do you want me to help with something?"

"Nope."

"No?"

The little monk looked a little nervous, and kept talking about Amitabha Buddha in his mouth.

"You, a little monk, first aroused my curiosity, and then began to be silent, which is really strange."

Xiao Heshan heard Cao Yanbing's words and said, "Donor, I have a sentence that I don't know whether to say or not." ”

"But it doesn't matter, I've been bothering the temple a lot these days, and if there's anything you want me to help with, I'm glad to do it."

"I want you to bring a message to Jingzhao Mansion Yin in Jingzhong."

"Jingzhao Mansion Yin?"

"Yes, what's the problem with the donor?"

Cao Yanbing smiled and said, "That's not difficult, I don't know what you have to say, little monk?" ”

"Although I know that it is very tedious for you to go into the world with officials, I still hope that after you go down the mountain, you will report the case to the government!"

The little monk looked around and found that no one was looking, so he said: "A few days ago, the capital was a little restless, and I heard the pilgrims who came to the temple say that the capital is catching heroes from all walks of life recently. ”

Cao Yanbing nodded, and did not agree or disagree, and when the little monk saw Cao Yanbing's gesture, he could only say some of these things.

"Actually, those pilgrims said that there were many people in the mountains who had escaped from Beijing."

The little monk seemed to have said something, and began to mumble a lot of "Amitabha".

"You little monk, do you want to talk about it?"

"Donor, you haven't promised the little monk yet, what the little monk wants to say is very important."

Cao Yanbing took a step forward and said indifferently: "It depends on what you say, whether it can arouse my interest, and if it arouses my interest, I will reluctantly agree." ”

The little monk's face was not only incredulous, but he said in surprise: "Donor, you just said that you wanted to help the little monk in this matter, why does it become your interest now." ”

Cao Yanbing's eyes were playful, "Little monk, if you don't say it now, I'll leave." ”

The little monk nodded helplessly and said, "Donor, what I say next, you can't tell the elders in the temple,"

"Yes."

"Actually, there were pilgrims who were robbed by someone who didn't know who they were on the way." The little monk looked around, then breathed a long sigh of relief, and said, "The things that the pilgrims went up the mountain to worship the Buddha were all robbed by these people. ”

"That's it?"

The little monk said: "This is nothing, the Buddha said that saving people's lives is better than building a seven-level floating slaughter, these things dedicated to the Buddha, if they can save people, then the little monk doesn't have to say this." ”

"Why do you kid like to talk without a beginning or an end, if you play dumb riddles with me again, do you believe it or not, I'll turn around and leave?"

"Donor, I'm just worried that those people are gradually not satisfied with what they get now, what if they hurt people in the future, after all, the abbot said that people are good because there is no shortage, and now their government has directly forced these chivalrous warriors to the mountain."

"It's not going to be a big deal for a while, but after a long time, there will definitely be problems in the future. If these people are very hungry, or they can't think about it for a while, so many pilgrims come and go, and there is an accident, it is our sin. ”

"Why don't you let other monks say these words?"

"Donor, now the abbot has not returned, my uncle is responsible for the temple once, my uncle is notoriously careful, if something happens, my uncle will definitely not dare to bear it."

"I also have no choice, I feel that the donor can take out five hundred taels of sesame oil money at once, and it is definitely not an ordinary person, so I told the donor about this."

"I didn't expect you, a little monk, to have these fancy intestines."

"Donor, this is not a flowery intestine, this is to keep the pilgrims from being harmed."

"Since these pilgrims all trust my Buddha so much, how can I, as a believer in my Buddha, see others getting hurt because of this."

Cao Yanbing thought for a moment and began to walk in the direction of the temple gate.

"Donor, you haven't promised me yet."

Cao Yanbing waved his hand and said, "Don't send it to the little monk, I'll leave now." ”

The little monk looked at the broom in his hand with some grievances, and inexplicably felt a trace of bitterness.

Cao Yanbing sighed first, and then shrugged his shoulders helplessly, the little monk is really for the good of the pilgrims, but the only thing that the little monk didn't understand was that he, the Yin of Jingzhao Mansion, had no right to care about this matter at all.

Cao Yanbing can only be tomorrow, after going to the court, looking at the form, he is making a decision, after all, the emperor is in such a place, and it is also to restrain the power of speech.

Maybe it is because he sees the current turbulence of the Yue country, and he doesn't want to let Chengguo follow in their footsteps, and if he doesn't follow the legal system of the imperial court, then there will be endless troubles in the future.

Cao Yanbing walked alone on the path down the mountain, suddenly felt the silence around him, and then felt that something was wrong, and began to turn back in the direction of the temple.

But at this moment, someone suddenly jumped out from behind him, and then said to Cao Yanbing: "Lord Cao, where are you going?" ”

Cao Yanbing pretended to look around, then looked at these people with a puzzled look and said, "Lord Cao? Who is Master Cao? Are you looking for the wrong person? ”

"Master Cao, you don't have to pretend, if we are not completely sure, how can we intercept you here!"

"Are you really mistaken, the contemptible person is surnamed Cao, but he is definitely not an adult."

These people were all dressed in black and had black scarves, so that Cao Yanbing couldn't see their appearances, of course, even if they saw it, they were blind.

"In that case, then I won't pretend, I don't know what the heroes came to me for?"

"Lord Cao is really a noble person, how forgetful."

"This is my hero, I really don't know what I forgot, I don't know if I can mention one or two?"

"Lord Cao, Lin admires your courage, and now you still have to pretend with us that you don't know what's going on? Since the adults don't want to say it, then I'll remind the adults a few words, I don't know if the adults know that the rivers and lakes in the capital have been very chaotic recently? ”

Cao Yanbing said: "Heroes, this really has nothing to do with Cao someone, since you know that I am in Hongyuan Temple, then you should also know that I have already come to Hongyuan Temple and that matter, but what does it have to do with me as the five guards under His Majesty the Emperor." ”

"Hahaha." These people let out a hideous laugh, "Your Excellency is really going to shirk your responsibility, these officials and officials under your lord have harmed many of our brothers, and they are instructed by you." ”

"What? Our Jingzhao Mansion Yin is also involved? ”

"Your Excellency, it's not interesting for you to do this. Don't worry, we just want to negotiate a condition with you Jingzhao Mansion, that is, to release a few people, I think such a simple thing, Lord Yin can already do it easily, right? ”

Cao Yanbing smiled and said, "A few heroes, I really don't know what's going on, you explain it first, and then you do it!" Don't slap your face! ”

"Master Cao, don't worry, as long as you follow us for a trip, whether you are really confused or pretending to be confused, we will repay your lord well."
