I got the command of the priest.

The officer glared at Yao Guangxiao fiercely.

Then he pulled his monk's robe, and said angrily: "There are things that don't know Taishan, be careful next time." ”

Yao Guangxiao was old, his thin body shook, and the old monk on the side was too timid to stop him, but he wiped his tears and said, "He...... He is Master Yao, he is Master Yao......"

The messenger glared at him: "There is no master here, only Wang Fa!" ”

As he spoke, he hugged the big bag of baggage and walked away directly.

Yao Guangxiao wiped the blood from the corners of his mouth and watched them leave in silence.

The old monk stepped forward tremblingly and said, "Master Yao, Master Yao, are you okay?" ”

Yao Guangxiao said calmly: "It's okay." ”

The old monk looked at him worriedly and said, "Let's go back to the temple." ”

"How can I go back to the temple at this time?" Yao Guangxiao said: "We should go into the county, and we should go to give people excess." ”

The old monk sighed.

Yao Guangxiao comforted him: "The next time you encounter such an official, don't talk back to him, he just beats you a few times." ”

The old monk said, "Why are you bothered? When it was time to practice purely, you refused to practice, so you had to go and make trouble for others and go to the side of the king. Finally, today, the wealth of the world is right in front of you, and you are not restless, so you have to practice. ”

"Because I am compassionate." Yao Guangxiao said: "People in Buddhism should be compassionate. ”

"What ...... you say now," the old monk said with a little annoyance, "What's the use? ”

Yao Guangxiao said: "Because I still remember that child, I will never forget that child, she smiled too sweetly." Let's go, let's go to the county. ”

into the county.

Contrary to the bustling hustle and bustle of dwelling.

There are few pedestrians on the streets.

Lifeless.

Two monks walked down the street.

In the streets and alleys, there was no movement.

The two walked the streets and began to beg for food.

One by one, the door was knocked on, and the person who opened the door saw that it was a monk, so he breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly let Yao Guangxiao in.

"Is the master going to turn into a relationship?"

Yao Guangxiao said: "Yes." ”

"I still have some rice at home, I told him to cook some of it."

The old monk couldn't help but ask, "Why is this like this in this county?" ”

The owner of the house opened his mouth, but stopped talking.

Yao Guangxiao smiled and said, "You don't have to ask, you can do what you ask." ”

The master showed embarrassment, and looked at Yao Guangxiao reverently.

Yao Guangxiao said: "Just some leftovers can be cold, and you don't need to be open." ”

The master said ashamedly: "How dare you snub the Zen master, let alone cold the Bodhisattva." ”

"You're a good man?"

The host nodded.

Yao Guangxiao was still smiling, but pointed to a statue of Taishang Laojun in this old mansion and said, "But you worship Laojun again." ”

Then he pointed to the statue of the god of the stove and said, "You still offer to the god of the stove." ”

The master said: "They are all immortals, the same, the same." ”

Yao Guangxiao sighed, and said nothing more.

…………

"Your Majesty."

Yisha's footsteps hurriedly came to Zhu Di.

He saluted and said, "Master Yao...... Master Yao has disappeared so far......"

Zhu Di looked at Song Shu without a match, but after listening to it, he looked up in astonishment and subconsciously said, "Where will he go?" ”

"Slave...... The slave maid didn't know that the slave maid had looked for the place he often went to in Dongchang, and the slave and maid also asked people to go to the monk Lusi to ask, but there, he hadn't been there for a long time. ”

Zhu Di was taken aback.

Because although Yao Guangxiao doesn't usually come and go, he will always appear where Zhu Di can find him.

If you travel far away, you will definitely explain your whereabouts.

This is the tacit understanding between Zhu Di and Yao Guangxiao.

Zhu Di frowned, he seemed to sense the slightest bit wrong.

So, he suddenly got up and said, "Summoning Jin Zhong." ”

Jin Zhong came soon, and without waiting for the salute, Zhu Di took the lead and said, "What has Master Yao said to you recently, do you want to visit any old friends......

Jin Zhong shook his head.

Zhu Di frowned and said, "What about the others?" None of the others? You've always been kind to people......

Jin Zhong said aggrievedly: "Your Majesty, what the minister is good at is word measurement. ”

"Doesn't that mean anything?" Zhu Di was a little anxious.

Jin Zhong had no choice but to say: "There is a world of difference here, it looks like the lake makes people, but the word measurement is different, the person's calligraphy, you can see a person's character, the person who is anxious is sloppy, the person who is slow is scribbled, and the ......."

Zhu Di obviously didn't have the patience to listen to this now, and waved his big hand and said, "Master Yao is gone." ”

At this moment, Jin Zhong didn't have the heart to say any more, he was surprised: "When is it?" ”

"It's been four days."

Jin Zhong immediately sensed that something was wrong.

Seeing Jin Zhong's reaction, Zhu Di said: "What, what was the omen before?" ”

Jin Zhong tried to recall and said: "A few days ago, he kept thinking about one thing, and he thought about it over and over again. ”

Zhu Di said: "What does he read?" ”

"He said he was guilty of greed......"

Zhu Di: "......"

Jin Zhong continued: "When the minister heard him say this, he just laughed at it at the time, thinking that he wanted to find Wei Guogong to fight the autumn wind again. ”

Zhu Di raised his eyebrows and said, "Isn't it?" ”

Jin Zhong said: "If there is no such thing, the minister may think that this is the case, but now that I think about it, it is wrong, if ordinary people are greedy, it must be greedy for money, or greedy for something else." But the monk regards Wei Guogong's sesame oil money as his own private property, so how can his own things be considered greedy? ”

Zhu Di was a little nervous, Zhang Anshi's money was ...... Maybe he has a share of it!

But now, Zhu Di is more concerned about Yao Guangxiao, so he said: "So what is his greed?" ”

"This is also what the minister is thinking about now, he is not very human, what is he greedy for?" Jin Zhong was also a little anxious.

Jin Zhong is much younger than Yao Guangxiao, but he is a friend of the year. At the beginning, in the Yan Wang's mansion, only the two of them were the most compatible.

Of course, Jin Zhong knew Yao Guangxiao's temperament, and he disappeared for four consecutive days, which is definitely an unusual thing.

Zhu Di then asked, "What else is abnormal?" ”

Jin Zhong thought about it seriously again, and then said: "He said that he is old and always cries. ”

"Crying?" Zhu Di looked suspicious.

Jin Zhong nodded and said, "The minister didn't take it to heart at that time, because he didn't reach his lifespan, and he might not be able to understand it." ”

Zhu Di continued to ask: "Then according to you, what is he crying about?" ”

Jin Zhong tried to recall again, and said: "It is said that sometimes when I see those children, I can't help but want to cry. ”

Zhu Di flicked his sleeves: "Enter your mother, what are you talking about!" ”

Jin Zhong said: "The minister is an orphan, so he was exiled in the rivers and lakes and was taken in by the master. ”

Zhu Di: "......"

Taking a deep breath, Zhu Di sat down dejectedly, and then said quietly: "My Master Yao is gone......

His tone grew sad.

Zhu Di understands Yao Guangxiao, he doesn't say goodbye, so ...... I must not want to say goodbye.

Jin Zhong's heart was also heavy at this time, he was a little at a loss, and he desperately recalled something, hoping to find some clues.

Obviously, although Jin Zhong is good at reading people, Yao Guangxiao's mind is the most difficult for people to guess.

No one will ever know what is going on in this monk's mind unless he is willing to tell you.

Of course, the premise is that you have to believe what he tells you.

And according to everyone's perception of him, it is obvious that anyone will be suspicious of what comes out of his mouth.

Jin Zhong said worriedly: "Your Majesty, you still have to find a way to find it, Monk Yao...... No, Master Yao would never let his Jiming Temple such a big belongings go away. ”

Zhu Di nodded weakly: "Search, search...... Go to find Zhang Anshi, and let everyone up and down Jinyiwei ...... They all put aside what they are doing for the time being and go to find ...... To live is to see people, and to die is to see corpses. You go to find Zhang Anshi in person, go ahead. ”

Jin Zhong was worried, busy saluting, and left in a hurry.

When Jin Zhong rushed to Qixia non-stop, he learned that Zhang Anshi had gone to inspect the fields, saying that Deng Jian had begun to preach about the planting of new crops, and Zhang Anshi also followed.

He waited anxiously for a long time before he saw Zhang Anshi come back with great interest, and boasted with Gao Xiang: "Speaking of rice planting, I, Zhang Anshi, am not bragging......

Gao Xiang said: "Weiguo Gong can be civil and martial, capable of working and farming, and he is really admirable." ”

Zhang Anshi said with a smile: "Actually, it's just a demonstration for you, I have personally gone to the ground, you don't have to worry about your own gold, all in all, this new crop is a top priority, you must keep an eye on it, but you must also have a way to keep an eye on it, you can't mess around, and you can't mess around." ”

Gao Xiang immediately expressed his attitude and said: "In this matter, the lower officials will contact Marquis Deng, and he will do what he says, and what should he do on the side of Tianfu." ”

Zhang Anshi nodded and said with a smile: "If you are attentive, I will be relieved." ”

When he entered the lobby, he saw Jin Zhong going back and forth in a hurry.

Zhang Anshi smiled and said: "Jin Gong, rare guest, rare guest." ”

Jin Zhong was so anxious that he was about to jump to his feet, and immediately said, "Master Yao is gone." ”

Zhang Anshi was calm and relaxed, and smiled: "Great, save me money." ”

Jin Zhong shook his head and said, "No, it's really gone." ”

"How is this possible?" Zhang Anshi still didn't believe it: "This time it won't be a new trick, is it Master Yao who instigated you to come?" Anyway, how much will it cost this time? ”

Jin Zhong stomped his feet directly and said angrily: "The old man is such a person? Oh, Your Majesty taught me to pass on the word and ordered you to search for it immediately, and there must be no mistake. ”

Zhang Anshi became serious at this time, because he knew that Jin Zhong was an honest man and would never joke with the emperor's dictation.

So his face became solemn, and he frowned: "No." Oops, why didn't you say it earlier? ”

After saying that, he immediately instructed the people guarding outside: "Come here, summon Chen Li, no, give me all the acquaintances and servants of the Jinyi Guard, as well as the thousands of households in each thousand households...... Issued an order to teach him to immediately dispatch capable horsemen to find Master Yao. ”

The order was given.

Zhang Anshi invited Jin Zhong to sit down, and he said, "Gong Jin...... I don't think so. A few days ago, he also asked me about the money, and said that he was greedy, and I didn't give it at the time, so he won't think about it because of this."

"It's not right, how could a man like him who is greedy for money say goodbye without saying goodbye?"

Jin Zhong said: "Whatever you say now, you have to find people, and it's useless to say this now." ”

Zhang Anshi nodded hurriedly: "Yes, yes, yes." ”

Jin Yiwei up and down, is already riding out of four places.

Compared with the East Factory, there are a large number of Jinyi guards, and their detective skills are also much smarter.

Soon, many clues were discovered.

Zhang Anshi, before he could summarize and clean up, Zhu Di ordered him to go to the palace to meet him.

Zhang Anshi didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly entered the palace.

When he arrived at Zhu Di's side, Zhu Di said with a smile on his face: "It's been six days, six days have passed, if anything is good...... Hey......"

Looking at Zhu Di's anxious appearance, Zhang Anshi said: "Your Majesty, the minister has found some clues. ”

Zhu Di stared at Zhang Anshi and said, "What clue?" ”

Zhang Anshi said: "Just six days ago, there were two monks who had been wandering back in Qixia, had been to the library, and would go to an inn for dinner on time every day. Oh, and I was still at the vegetable market, and I ate a bowl of mutton soup. The others, who only knew that they were two monks, did not pay much attention. But the shop that eats mutton soup has the deepest memory of them, they have never seen a monk eat meat so grandly. ”

Zhu Di frowned: "Is it really him?" ”

Zhang Anshi nodded without hesitation: "After asking, the minister also asked someone to draw a portrait of Master Yao, and asked the store to identify it, and the store also said yes." ”

Zhu Di asked again: "What about after that?" ”

"After that, after paying the money, he left, and said that Master Yao was only wearing shabby monk's clothes, like a wild monk, and the old monk who went with him was also very down."

Zhu Di muttered: "What is he doing, what is he going to do?" ”

Zhang Anshi smiled bitterly and said: "The minister didn't find out what he did, his trajectory is really weird." ”

Zhu Di said: "There has been no trace since then? ”

"Checked, went to the ferry, and got on a boat." Zhang Anshi said stupidly: "The destination...... It's Ningguofu. ”

"And after that?" Zhu Di became more and more impatient, and he felt as uncomfortable as pressing a stone in his heart.

Zhang Anshi was a little embarrassed: "Your Majesty, Ning Guofu ...... The minister had a ban on Jinyiwei, that is, Jinyiwei must not step into Ningguofu for half a step, and the violator will be dealt with according to the family law. ”

When Zhu Di heard this, he immediately understood something.

How many pairs of eyes in the world are staring at Taiping Mansion and Ning Guofu, as long as Zhang Anshi is here, there is a little bit of irregularity, I am afraid that there will be overwhelming criticism.

Zhang Anshi seemed to be iron-hearted, and he was on the same page with Ning Guofu, but to be honest, Zhang Anshi still talked to you about the rules, and he really didn't let anyone inquire about any news in Ning Guofu.

Zhu Di said: "Now the stakes are very high, don't worry about these, this is my will, you don't have to worry about it." ”

Zhang Anshi shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, you must not, otherwise, let Dongchang take over, the minister must not break this rule, it is not that the minister wants to resist the decree and disrespect, but the minister must not take a step beyond the thunder pool, if not, ......"

Zhu Di was angry in his heart, but reason told him that Zhang Anshi was the best choice.

Even if he himself directly crossed Zhang Anshi to give an order, as long as any Jinyi Wei appeared in Ning Guofu, then it would be equivalent to giving someone a handle.

Zhu Di took a deep breath and looked back.

Yisha also showed a wry smile and said: "A few days ago, the slaves and maids also ordered Dongchang not to set foot in the Taiping Mansion and the Ningguo Mansion. If it is really in Ningguo Mansion, they will definitely be able to find it. ”

Zhu Di groaned, walked around a few laps with his hands behind his back, and now he finally had some traces, which made him indeed breathe a sigh of relief.

So he said: "Then order the criminal department Shangshu Jin Chun." ”

As he spoke, he suddenly remembered something, raised his head and said, "Is the Shangshu of the Criminal Department still Jin Chun?" ”

He also said: "Your Majesty wants to dismiss his official, but at that time, Wei Guogong said that it was inconvenient to do so at this time, so he temporarily let him wear the crime and temporarily occupy the position of the secretary of the Criminal Department, and then deal with it after the affairs of the Taiping Mansion and the Ning Guofu are known." ”

Zhu Di nodded, but there was such a thing, so he said: "Then let him make meritorious service for his crimes, and tell him that if Master Yao is recovered, he can still be punished lightly, and if he can't find it, he will be guilty of crime." ”

Yisha hurriedly said: "The slave obeys the order." ”

With that, he left in a hurry.

Zhu Di glanced at Zhang Anshi and said: "This Jin Chun has a lot to do with Jianyi, and having him to find it is also reassuring, Jianyi will definitely help." ”

Zhang Anshi nodded, but did not say anything superfluous.

…………

On the other hand, Jin Chun got the will.

And this will was read out by Yisha himself.

This made Jin Chun immediately realize that this matter was very important.

After he received the order, he arched his hand and said, "Father-in-law...... How could Master Yao's good and dignified look disappear? ”

Yisha said worriedly: "Hey, Master Yao is unpredictable, where do we know, all in all, we must find it." ”

After a pause, Yisha glanced at Jin Chun deeply: "You are the secretary of the imperial court, and you must know in your heart who you are doing things for." ”

The meaning of this is clear.

Jin Chun was ashamed of himself, and he sighed and said, "I've been taught." ”

So, Jin Chun immediately arranged more than 300 officials, and personally led the team to set off, not daring to slack off in the slightest.

…………

"Enfu...... There is an epistle. ”

Wu Huan came in a hurry.

Jian Yi took it, looked down, and immediately raised his eyebrows and said, "Master Yao? ”

His face was full of suspicion.

Wu Huan said: "Yes, it's very strange, that Yao Guangxiao disappeared quietly, but in the end, he didn't know his whereabouts when he arrived at Ning Guofu, and it was clearly written, saying that His Majesty ordered the Criminal Department Shangshu Jin Butang to personally investigate this case." ”

Jianyi: "......"

Wu Huan raised his head, glanced at Jian Yi, and said: "This Jin Butang is too, he is a protégé of Enfu, since he received the order, why don't you hurry up to repair a letter, but someone else will give you a ...... to Enfu."

Jian Yi's face turned pale, and then he said coldly: "Do you still want to harm him?" ”

Jianyi's most important thing is Jin Chun, and he thinks that this person is a material that can be made, and because of this, he does not shy away from recommending him.

Wu Huan had a lot of complaints about Jin Chun, which made Jian Yi very unhappy.

Wu Huan is also a person who is very good at looking at eyes, and quickly changed his words: "Yes, yes, it's a student...... It's too Meng Lang. Enfu, you say...... That monk, how can he come to Ningguo Mansion in a good manner, but the student heard that he and Wei Guogong ......"

Jian Yi took a deep breath before he said: "Master Yao, this person, his temperament is unpredictable, if he wants to do something, it is definitely not something that Zhang Anshi can instigate, what he wants to do, no one in this world can stop it, you have to find it in advance." ”

Wu Huan nodded and said, "Yes, the student will go and inform the counties." ”

Wu Huan turned around, but Jian Yi said suddenly: "Come back...... The matter of money and food ......"

Wu Huan said with a smile: "It's almost over, you have come forward in Enfu, who dares not to help?" ”

Jian Yi knew that things were not so simple, and he wanted to say something.

Wu Huan looked like he was listening.

In the end, Jian Yi just sighed: "Go, go." ”

Wu Huan said: "Yes." ”

…………

Ningguo Mansion, Nanling County.

The soles of the two monks' shoes were rotten, and they walked from house to house.

"Ahem......" Yao Guangxiao coughed, he didn't know if he was infected with the wind cold or what, his health was getting worse and worse.

There are many people who give to him here.

And he chanted the sutra every day and appeared in many corners of the county.

When he saw the officer, he avoided walking.

But soon, he finally taught people to target him.

"It's the fake monk, take it." It's the familiar errand again.

Everyone surrounded them, Yao Guangxiao clasped his palms, coughed desperately, and then endured it hard, and said: "Amitabha, donors......"

The errand stepped forward, holding the ring ruler, and said angrily: "It's you who bewitch the people and deceive people's hearts, you demon monk, dare to do this, and even talk about harsh government with people?" ”

Yao Guangxiao said: "Poor." It's the poor monk who is wrong. ”

"Haha." The servant laughed, looked at him with disdain, and said, "Isn't it too late to know that you are wrong?" Come, take down this demon monk, the county lieutenant has explained, now there are people everywhere to confuse the public, but they can't be spared. ”

Several errand officers stepped forward together and unceremoniously chained Yao Guangxiao and put him in a flail.

This flail was extremely heavy, and it suddenly made Yao Guangxiao's neck bloody.

Yao Guangxiao still said calmly: "The poor monk is not guilty. ”

The officer sneered and said, "When you enter the yali, you will know whether you are guilty or not." ”

At the moment, he directly pulled the two monks to the county office.

The officer went to the county lieutenant first, and the county lieutenant hurriedly went to discuss with the county magistrate for a while.

Immediately after that, they were escorted.

The county commander was not angry and arrogant, and with a loud shout, there was an errand officer who forcibly taught Yao Guangxiao to kneel.

The county commander said angrily: "Who is in the hall? ”

Yao Guangxiao coughed twice before he said, "Little monk......"

The county commander said coldly: "Hugh has to argue strongly, look at your accent, you must not be a real monk, you must be a thief, pretending to be a monk." ”

Yao Guangxiao said: "According to the law of the Ming Dynasty, ......"

The county commander saw that Yao Guangxiao was like a beggar, although there was a ring scar on his head, but the monk's clothes he was wearing were extremely shabby, and he said coldly: "You still understand this, in this way, it seems that you have read a book, but it doesn't seem to be famous. ”

"Doctor?"

The county magistrate sneered: "Jian Gong has the virtue of a good life, and for the plague, he recruited medical households, but many medical households, without the benevolence of doctors, actually said that the government did not give money and food, and forced them to bring their own money and food to practice medicine, it seems that ...... That's right, someone...... Don't teach him that the two of them are gone, it just so happens that there are still a few doctors in the county. ”

Yao Guangxiao said: "You guys are too ridiculous. ”

The prefectural magistrate laughed.
