Chapter 21: The Death of the Prefect

Seeing that the displaced people outside the mountain gate were becoming more and more chaotic, the monks were also a little panicked.

At this time, Wang Chi had arrived at the mountain gate, Xi Yuanqi saw it from afar, hurriedly caught up, explained the situation, and took Wang Chi inside.

Wang Chi stopped at the gate of the mountain and turned to look at the team of displaced people. He was tall, and he came with a decisive momentum, and by this time most people had stopped shouting and looked at him.

Well-informed homeless people have discussed: "This is the major general of the Northwest Iron Cavalry?" ”

Some of the displaced people had already rushed to their knees in front of them, "Young General, please ask the young general for help." ”

So more and more people fell to their knees and shouted.

In the chaos, Wang Chi really saw a black carriage parked at the edge of the homeless procession, the curtain of the carriage was slightly opened, and he couldn't see clearly, there was a middle-aged man who looked like a steward standing next to the carriage, talking to the people in the car.

Wang Chi frowned slightly and did not speak.

At such a moment, Shi Yu and Shi Ling had already arrived with a group of soldiers and soldiers.

Wang Chi said to Xi Yuanqi: "It's surrounded." Outside the temple, let Yin Fucheng take the officials to check and register one by one. I locked it directly if I didn't cooperate. The inventory is undoubtedly released first, but it is necessary to register the place of residence, and ten people are in a team to guarantee each other. ”

"Yes." Xi Yuanqi received the order, and was about to turn around, when he heard Wang Chi add: "That's right," he raised his chin, "The black carriage also has to be checked, check it well!" ”

Xi Yuanqi was slightly stunned, glanced at the direction of the carriage, and hurriedly retreated.

In a moment, Tingquan Temple was surrounded by the Black Armor Iron Guard and the Southwest Water Army.

The homeless people did not know why, panicked, but they did not dare to act rashly under the siege of the sergeants.

Wang Chi faced the group of monks and asked, "Which one is the principal?" ”

The Zen master of Cifa took a few steps forward and said, "The poor monk Cifa is the abbot." ”

"Zen Master Cifa, please also open the hall and put some relief." Wang Chi said and handed over a brocade bag and said, "These incense offerings are my heart's desire." ”

Zen Master Cifa frowned slightly, glanced at Wang Chi, and then at the panicked team of displaced people, and took the brocade bag after a little hesitation.

Wang Chi nodded slightly at him and walked up the mountain surrounded by a crowd of people.

Zen Master Cifa led a group of monks to be busy pacifying the homeless, and because the hall was opened to put porridge and steamed buns, the homeless people were much calmer than at the beginning.

There were also several small guys from the Huo family's carriage, who carried a lot of dry food, and helped the monks to shout and release relief to maintain order.

The displaced people went from panic and confusion to gradually cooperating with the soldiers to register and investigate, guaranteeing each other, and then receiving relief, and after a while, order became orderly.

Xi Yuanqi was instructed to pay attention to the carriage and his party, and when the soldiers went to check and register, they were also very cooperative, and there was nothing to blame, so he couldn't help but nod secretly, and he didn't care too much about it.

When the displaced people lined up to receive relief, Huo Er Ye got out of the car wrapped in a thick black splendid cloak, and the housekeeper only said that the second master was tired, and wanted to find a place to drink tea, so he stuffed a handful of silver tickets with a smile and entrusted Liu Yuanju to help bring them into the temple.

Liu Yuan usually received a lot of benefits from the Huo family, and he knew that Huo Erye was not in good health, so he naturally would not shirk it. led the housekeeper, and the maid helped Huo Erye, and slowly walked towards the mountain along the corner that no one noticed.

The wing room was surrounded by a regiment of soldiers and soldiers.

He was conducting an autopsy, and the magistrate was inspecting the scene.

The general judge was inquiring about the first person who found the corpse (1), the pure man had been in charge of the prefect's diet for the past two days, and when the food was delivered, he shouted for a long time and no one answered, as if he saw the door hidden, and when he pushed the door open, he saw a pair of feet dangling in front of him, and immediately fell to the ground in fright, and the food also turned to the ground.

At this moment, when he replied to the general judge, his face was pale, trembling, and he stammered when he spoke.

……

The Taoist priest turned to Meishan behind the pharmacist hall, and chose a location with an excellent view to see the excitement, Bai Zeqing moved a few people to follow, and stuck to the Taoist priest to serve tea and water.

Bai Zeqing handed over half a cup of new tea and said, "Master......"

"What are you yelling about!"

The Taoist priest deftly avoided several steps to the side like an electric shock, and the broken Taoist robe even hung on the plum branch next to him, making a "stab" sound, how could there be a little fairy wind Dao bone.

Bai Zeqing hurriedly put the tea cup away, carefully helped him take off the robe from the plum branch, and patted it, "Why does this Lord Fuzun have to come to Tingquan Temple to hang himself?" Then he looked at the Taoist priest, "Aren't you strange?" Master! The last two words were shouted very clearly.

"Dao Tong, Dao Tong! What kind of father? ”

Bai Zeqing didn't mind and continued: "This Fuzun Lord used to ask my uncle to set a thangka. In other words, he can be regarded as a layman, and the layman believes that his life is not over, and he does not enter reincarnation, so how can he make a special trip to the Buddhist temple to commit suicide? ”

Then she looked at the Taoist priest very seriously and said, "This is unreasonable, Master! ”

"Shut up, Lao Tzu doesn't accept apprentices."

"If something goes wrong, there must be a demon, Master!"

The Taoist priest didn't bother to talk again, flicked his sleeves and walked to the side room.

"Master, you wait for me!" Bai Zeqing raised his foot and chased, the corners of his mouth rising slightly.

Looking at the tall back of the Taoist priest, she couldn't help but think of the Taoist priest carrying her up the mountain and protecting her in his arms on a rainy night. Hmph, it turns out that you are such a Taoist priest, I have eaten you thoroughly!

"Master, Master, don't get too close, I'm still a prisoner, they all want to arrest me!" She shouted as she chased.

"Don't follow Lao Tzu!"

Bai Zeqing turned a deaf ear, and hurriedly followed the Taoist priest to a medicine garden separated by more than a dozen steps outside the wing, where he could see the inside and outside of the wing.

When she saw the cloaked under the pine tree not far from the wing, holding the stove and looking at Huo Erye in the wing, she let out a "huh".

……

Inside this wing.

The autopsy was indeed hanged, so the verdict was discussed with the magistrate and the case was ready to be closed.

Today, Wang Chi and Shi Yu are both at the scene, and the angel Lu Yu is also with him, so it is not up to the two of them to decide. So the two shirked it, and the general judge went to ask the three to review and close the case.

At this moment, Wang Chi was aware of it and turned his head to look in the direction of the medicine garden.

Bai Zeqing was startled, so frightened that he hurriedly hid behind the camphor tree.

The Taoist priest said in disgust: "What are you afraid of? He can't see you again. ”

Unseen? Is it like that day on the ship?

Bai Zeqing walked out from behind the tree without any doubt and stood beside the Taoist priest openly.

Since the first meeting, although the time has not been long, she has found that no matter how outrageous the Taoist priest is, he never seems to have said a lie.

Sure enough, Wang Chi looked at it for a moment, frowned, and turned his head.

"Master, he really can't see me!"

The Taoist priest looked at the leopard in the countryside, "Shut up and concentrate." ”

"Oh!" She hurriedly looked towards the side room, and could faintly hear the words being spoken, but she couldn't hear the content.

Seeing her bitter face, the Taoist priest said compassionately: "With eyes, condense the rhyme of the ears, keep your tongue silent, and listen to your heart." ”

Bai Zeqing was overjoyed, and said in his heart: Sure enough, he is hard-mouthed and soft-hearted. Hurriedly calmed down and did what the Taoist priest said.
