At the same time, the drums sounded one after another, and the big men holding the hemp ropes on both sides of the river bank instantly got up and shouted and moved forward slowly.

The stone gate standing in the middle of the river began to move slowly upward.

The people standing on the riverbank stared at the stone gate with bated breath.

After half a ring.

When the stone gate was moved halfway up, two stone slabs as thick as half a man suddenly emerged from both ends of the stone pillar, and the horizontal bars pointed down the stone gate far away.

Suddenly, a high-pitched voice sounded: "Put! ”

I saw that the big man who was originally pulling the hemp rope suddenly put down the rope in his hand, and with a 'bang' sound, the stone door stood straight on the stone slab.

"The water is through!"

As a shout sounded, the people who were standing around with bated breath were secretly relieved, and immediately applauded and cheered.

Xiting couldn't help but jump lightly, clapping his hands and watching the river water upstream slowly flow under the stone gate, leading straight into the wall hole under the Daxiangguo Temple.

Seeing this, the corners of her lips couldn't help but raise slightly.

A moment later.

I saw a little monk come to Zhao Shuo from the direction of Daxiangguo Temple, bowed down and gave a salute, and then saw Zhao Shuo walking towards the back of the riverbank.

The group of officials in crimson official robes also cautiously followed behind Zhao Shuo.

At this time, the crowd of spectators also began to disperse.

Ping'an followed Xiting's line of sight, and saw that she was still staring at Zhao Shuo's group of people, and couldn't help but step forward and remind: "Miss, further ahead of this river is the Daxiangguo Temple, which is a royal Buddhist temple, only the children and daughters of the royal family can enter and exit at will, and others must be summoned to enter." Let's go back quickly, if it comes out for too long, the red leaves can't support it, and it will be troublesome to be discovered by Mrs. ”

Unexpectedly, Xiting turned a deaf ear, walked straight in the direction of Daxiangguo Temple, and replied softly: "Don't worry, let's go inside and have a look." ”

Ping An looked at her back, and helplessly shouted 'Miss', so he had to follow her.

When they came to the gate of Daxiangguo Temple, they were stopped by two guards: "This is a royal Buddhist temple, and you can't enter it without being summoned." ”

Xiting subconsciously raised his eyes to look inside the gate, looking at the back of Zhao Shuo and them walking inside, his heart itched.

She stared at Zhao Shuo's back and muttered: "The Yichun River is one of the four major rivers that pass through the city in Kyoto, but it is also the only river that can pass through the inner city of the imperial city except for the Huimin River. It enters the castle from the West Gate of Kyoto and flows into the Great Xiangkokuji Temple in the inner city of the Imperial Castle through the Queqiao Water Gate in the outer city......"

As she spoke, she couldn't help but take small steps, gently stroking her chin and saying, "I have seen the river map of Kyoto in my father's study before, and the water source of Daxiangguo Temple is mainly used to raise the carp pond in front of the main hall, and the remaining river water passes under the viewing bridge in front of the fish pond. ”

She nodded, and said, "Therefore, my father and they must be going to the viewing bridge in front of the main hall now." ”

After that, she walked around the outer wall of the Great Xiangguo Temple and analyzed: "The main hall is in the center of the entire Buddhist temple......"

As she was talking, she suddenly stopped, and Ping An was caught off guard and almost hit her back.

Xiting glanced back at Ping'an, and compared his chin to his feet: "Ping'an, let's go in from here." ”

Ping'an's pupils widened: "Miss! He turned his gaze to the hole under his feet and said embarrassedly, "This ...... How do I get in? ”

"The river of the Great Xiangguo Temple of the Yichun River crosses the viewing bridge in front of the main hall from the east side of the temple, and then flows out of the temple to the west, and my father must be there now. This is the northwest corner of the temple, and there are no guards guarding it, so we will definitely not be discovered by them when we enter it. ”

Peace: "......"

He originally thought that Qian Xiting came out to see the river open to water, at most it would be a stick of incense, but he didn't think that she would sneak into the Daxiangguo Temple.

Seeing that Ping'an was unmoved, Xiting gently kicked his heel, and said a little angrily, "You go in first." ”

Ping An looked at the dog hole under his feet, his face full of helplessness.

But they grew up together since they were children, and they didn't do much to hide the Su family and Qian Xiting messing around together, and they knew that according to the character of Yixi Pavilion, this Great Xiangguo Temple must be entered, of course, this dog hole must be drilled.

After the two of them drilled into the Daxiangguo Temple, they sorted out the soil and fallen leaves on their bodies, and were just about to turn around when they were stopped by a shout.

"Stop!"

The two stiffened their backs.

And at this time, in front of the main hall of the Great Xiangguo Temple.

Zhao Shuo, the Department of River and Canals, and several officials from the Metropolitan Water Supervision Department are inspecting the newly opened river.

He stood on the observation bridge in front of the main hall with his hands in his hands, staring down at the gurgling water under the bridge, and quietly listening to the report of the group of officials.

Suddenly, a noise came from ahead.

Zhao Shuo subconsciously raised his head, and when he saw the person in front of him, his eyebrows furrowed slightly.

A little monk was walking towards the viewing bridge.

Several officers and soldiers following the monk, carrying a man and a woman, shouted as they walked: "Hurry up!" ”

"This is ......," Zhang Yu, the envoy of the River Canal Division, twisted the little goat's beard and wondered.

As several people got closer and closer, Zhang Yu's pupils widened slightly, and he turned his head to look at Qian Ming'an: "Lord Qian, isn't this little guy your entourage in the house?" ”

As Qian Ming'an's close entourage, Ping An is not uncommon for officials of all sizes in Beijing.

Hearing this, Qian Ming'an looked at Zhang Yu's line of sight and couldn't help frowning, but when the woman who was also supported by officers and soldiers and followed behind Ping An appeared, his thick black eyebrows directly wrinkled into a pair of figures.

"Anitabha." The little monk saluted Zhao Shuo, and then said to the abbot of Daxiangguo Temple who was standing beside him: "Master, the apprentice just passed by the side hall and saw a man and a woman sneaking into the temple, so he arrested the two of them. ”

The little monk said, glanced at the group of officials standing behind Zhao Shuo, and said to Zhao Shuo: "But the woman claimed that she was the daughter of the family of the Dushui Supervisor Cheng Qian, and the poor hated the two of them were arrested, so that everyone could argue the truth." ”

As soon as the words fell, before everyone could react, Qian Ming'an stared at the woman behind the monk and said eagerly: "Ting'er? ”

Qian Xiting raised his head slightly, stretched out his hand and brushed the hair scattered on his forehead to his ear, revealing a dirty little face, and smiled embarrassedly: "Daddy." ”

In fact, she didn't expect that she would be discovered by the little monk as soon as she got in, and she wanted to arrest them to see the official, she was anxious to tell her identity, the little monk was suspicious, and he had to argue the truth, so he arrested them.

But as soon as she came, she regretted it, she knew that there were so many people looking at her embarrassed appearance, and she would rather be arrested and put in prison than be scrutinized like a monster.

Qian Ming'an looked Xiting up and down, and saw that she was disheveled, her clothes were covered with mud and weeds, and her hairpin was crumbling among the scattered green silks, how could she still have the slightest look like a woman in a boudoir.

Seeing this, anger immediately stained his eyebrows, and he stared at Ping An and shouted, "What's going on? ”
