Chapter 10: The Kidnappers
Seeing the dress and style of these people in front of him, Mi Bu believed that they were people from the imperial court, and watched the officials tie himself up, take him down the mountain and escort him to the prisoner car, without the slightest question or justification.
Luo Shuangxing was born in martial arts, and he had already heard about the monks of Lingguang Temple saving the emperor, but he didn't believe in such a magical martial arts, and he heard that Mibu had stolen the treasures given by the emperor, so why not take advantage of the convenience of escorting, interrogate well, and let Mibu hand it over, and you can also see the emperor's treasures. On the way, he asks Mi Bu how he saved the emperor and where the treasure is. Mibu refused to elaborate, but said that the emperor had a relationship with the Buddha, that the Buddha protected the emperor, and that the treasures were given by the emperor and had been left in the spiritual pagoda of the temple.
Luo Shuangxing thought to himself, the monks of the county government and the temple had dug up the spiritual pagoda, and it was clear that they had absconded after being stolen, and now they are still telling their mouths, saying that the treasure is in the spiritual pagoda. An old monk who had committed an accident had neglected him so much, he had a fire in his heart, and he saw the opportunity to teach him a lesson.
His subordinates saw Lord Luo's thoughts, and they also wanted to take the opportunity to curry favor with their bosses and give him ideas, so why not force him to hand over his things, and then take advantage of his unpreparedness to end his life after getting the treasure, and report to the emperor that Mibu resisted arrest and was beheaded. Luo Shuangxing thought to himself that this was an opportunity to make a fortune and make meritorious contributions, so he agreed with the officials to start.
The prisoner car made a detour into a valley, and Luo Shuangxing saw that this place was secluded, so he untied Mibu from the car, tied him to a tree, and began to ask about the secret book of the Buddha's Heart Fist and the whereabouts of the imperial treasures.
Although Mibu didn't know the reason, he was a person who had seen the world, and he had saved the emperor's life, so he was not afraid. However, when he saw that this group of people were forced to hand over the secret books and treasures of the Buddha's Heart Fist, he was afraid that they had ulterior motives, and he even doubted whether they were from the government.
Since you are from Dali Temple, you should act according to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, how can you be escorted to be interrogated privately on the way?
The master is the Lord of Dali Temple, and he can judge how he wants, and he is not happy, and it is nothing to kill a person.
Mibu sighed and shook his head and said, after arriving in the capital, the old monk would naturally explain everything to the emperor.
Where Luo Shuangxing was willing to listen, he ordered someone to find a branch and whip it densely.
Mibu endured the pain, but still shook his head and refused to speak.
Luo Shuangxing heard that the dense sword was invulnerable, so he pulled out the knife and stabbed it at the dense leg.
Mibu said suddenly, slowly.
The officials were overjoyed, could it be that the old monk had changed his mind and wanted to explain. Unexpectedly, Mi Bu trembled all over, and the rope tied to his body fell loosely. Luo Shuangxing and the others were taken aback, and hurriedly took a few steps back. This is the legendary theory of shrinking bones and detaching ropes. Bone reduction uses internal force to stretch the bones, especially the bones and joints of the shoulder, to dislocate the joints of the body, shrink the body, and escape the rope. It's an eye-opener today. The officials were frightened and drew their swords.
He bowed to the officials and muttered something in his mouth.
There was a servant who said, "Why are you an old monk still muttering when you are dying?"
Although the old monk does not kill, but can not easily die in the hands of you and others, the old monk told you, everything to stay in the capital, the old monk will ask the emperor for guilt, just hope you do not embarrass the old monk. Amitabha.
How could Luo Shuangxing give up at this time, if he told the emperor, everyone's lives would be gone, since he had come to this point, he simply ended up with the old monk and went to the business again. Without thinking about it, he swung his knife and slashed at Mibu's waist. Master Mibu really didn't dodge, only to see that the knife didn't enter the monk's robes, and Mibu bowed up, but Luo Shuangxing didn't pull it out when he wanted to draw the knife, and he was surprised. Mibu held the back of the knife, snatched the knife from Luo Shuangxing's hand, and threw it on the ground, without any injury to his body.
Luo Shuangxing only then realized that the Buddha's heart fist was not a false rumor, if the master made a move, his life would be gone, so he quickly knelt on the ground, and kowtowed again and again to ask Master Mibu for forgiveness. All the officials are also one in a hundred fast catchers, and they were also stunned when they saw this situation, and knelt on the ground with the adults of the left and right temples.
Master Mibu waved his hand and asked the officials to get up.
After this, Luo Shuangxing admired Mibu so much that he threw himself to the ground. Along the way, they also took care of the good students, fearing that the mage would suffer, and the relationship became very harmonious.
A few days later, Luo Shuangxing asked Master Mibu again, and Mibu smiled slightly.
Could it be that the master really didn't steal the imperial treasure?
Mibu still smiled and didn't answer.
Luo Shuangxing felt very strange, could it be that there was something hidden behind Master Mibu's smile?
Can the master tell the magistrate that the kidnapper of the mage has a holiday with the mage? A few days ago, the temporary stay in Nankang Town was conspired by others, and one of the brothers was killed by two darts from one big and one small, and the master knows the inside story.
Densely listened, and was indeed a little surprised. Chen Xianghui's revenge for his father is already clear, but he can't tell Lord Luo. I can't know what happened in Nankang Town, but there is one thing that is very suspicious, and that is the big and small knife. This is called a mother-son knife on the rivers and lakes, and it is very powerful. At that time, the short knife held by Zhao Zhi had a deep groove on one side, which seemed to be a mother-son knife, and its groove could hide another knife. But this is just his own speculation, and he doesn't dare to draw conclusions, let alone tell Lord Luo.
The carriage and horses drove to Changxing County on the shore of Taihu Lake, and saw that Nanjing City was less than two days' journey. Changxing County was originally the place where the general Geng Bingwen was stationed. At that time, General Geng insisted on defending the city for ten years, and defeated Zhang Shicheng with outnumbered enemies, laying the foundation of the southeast of the Ming Dynasty.
Someone reminded that it is not safe for robbers in Taihu Lake to haunt and go, so it is better to go to Liyang.
Luo Shuangxing felt that it was also, so he hurried away, and in the evening, they arrived at Wafang Mountain, which was only more than 100 miles away from the capital, thinking that it was auspicious and safe, and rested here.
Luo Shuangxing chose the land temple on the side of the mountain. He looked outside, there was only one road in front of the temple, the front was a stream, and behind the temple was a mountain, and the terrain was conducive to defense.
At night, the wind suddenly picked up, and the crisp crackling sound of bamboo was heard.
Luo Shuang got up, only to feel that the outside of the temple became brighter, and he subconsciously felt a fire. Sure enough, I don't know what ignited the surroundings, and the land temple was also burned, and the smoke was very large. He hurriedly rushed out of the house, and found the messenger standing guard at the door lying on the ground, knowing that the situation was not good. At his shout, the servants all woke up and rushed outside the house, many choking on smoke.
At this moment, the dry wooden walls of the land temple, which had been hundreds of years old, caught fire and quickly burst into flames.
Luo Shuangxing suddenly found that Master Mibu did not come out, and knew that something was wrong, so he wanted to rush into the temple, but was dragged by the messenger.
Luo Shuangxing was even more anxious, shouting loudly, "Mage, Mage", but there was no response inside. He knew very well that this joke could not be made, and if he couldn't hand over the dense cloth, he would be a capital crime.
