Chapter 12: The Storm Rises

Today is actually different, especially in the Flower Garden.

In order to do a good job in this Zen scripture conference, this group of eunuchs in Jiangnan spent a lot of effort.

For example, Jiang Caiyu, although he has money, he has never easily used it to cooperate with the activities of Jiangnan Mansion before, after all, Jiangnan Weaving Mansion is under the direct jurisdiction of the Ministry of Households, and Jiangnan Mansion has no power to interfere.

Of course, even interfering is meaningless, because the officials of Jiangnan Mansion are all scholars, and they don't understand business and don't bother to do this.

However, all the expenses involved in this Zen sutra conference were paid by the Jiangnan Weaving House. Moreover, it belongs to Jiang Caiyu's personal private property, after all, this expenditure has not been recorded in the household department, nor has it been approved by the emperor, and it is completely led by Jiangnan Mansion.

For example, Jiangnan Mansion spent a lot of effort in advance, from the invitations sent to major temples to the reception of many rich and idle princes, almost all of them were responsible for Jiangnan Mansion.

This is easy to understand, Jiangnan Province needs political performance.

As for what Jiang Caiyu needs, others have no way of knowing, maybe it is because of his change of sex, and he really spares no effort to support this event.

Today, in particular, is even more extraordinary.

When Zhu Xie walked up to the newly decorated high-rise building of the Flower Garden and began to give a lecture as he had done in the previous ten days, he keenly noticed that there were many people who came to listen to Zen today.

Especially in the various floors of the Flower Garden, those small rooms with a wide view are almost full. In particular, in the room at the top, although the curtain was lowered, both wealthy merchants and idle princes from Kyoto, including local officials, large and small, would run outside the room and cautiously pray for a briefing.

However, the door never opened, and no one could see the people inside. But even so, when a dignitary comes, he will still go to the door and ask for it as if he were going through the procedure, although he will be rejected without exception.

Perhaps, it is precisely because of the nobles in that room that there are so many people who come today, whether it is dignitaries or nobles, they all gather in the Flower Garden.

At about the hour, Jiang Caiyu came to the Flower Garden early, and greeted Zhu Xie mysteriously, let Zhu Xie play well, and must talk about it well, success or failure in this move!

Zhu Xie was naturally excited, and he showed a smile on his face after a long absence.

At this time, he was talking about his pride, when he suddenly heard the voice roaring out of the crowd, and some things suddenly came to his mind, and he couldn't help but be startled, and a sense of foreboding came to his face.

Jiang Caiyu was the first to react, and stood up first and scolded loudly: "What person? Dare to talk nonsense, come someone, drive him out! ”

A few of the housekeepers ran out and ran towards the old man, and in a short time they restrained all the old man's entourage, but in the gap the old man had jumped onto the booth and shouted even louder in front of everyoneβ€”

"Zhu Jie, you are really shameless!"

"As a monk, you don't abide by the rules and precepts!"

"You...... Let me go...... I'm not against you! ”

In a short time, the old man was caught, and a family member covered his mouth and nose.

This scene was seen by Li Yunshui, who had just come to the Flower Garden, and he glanced at Zhu Jie, who was sitting on the top, and happened to look at Zhu Jie.

Li Yunshui saw the panic in Zhu Jie's eyes.

Because of that old man, Zhu Xie knows, and Li Yunshui also knows, it is the old man Su of Jiangnan Pingliu, and the father of Su Yu, a lay disciple of the Nameless Temple.

The crowd of onlookers immediately discussed, questioning, puzzled, and justified...... And so on, and so on.

Luo Weiping knew that it was time for him to come out and say a few words, because he had already seen Jiang Caiyu's eyes, and he himself was just as anxious.

If something goes wrong, it will be Jiangnan Mansion that will lose face.

So, he shouted, "Fork this crazy old man out of my pocket!" ”

After that, the officials of Jiangnan Mansion heard the order and moved, and they were about to come forward to arrest people.

"In my opinion, it makes it clear." A middle-aged woman's voice came unhurriedly, it was the mysterious nobleman, I saw that the curtain of the room where she was slowly opened, and the figure of a woman dressed in a gorgeous and wealthy situation was revealed, and there were two people standing beside her, one of them stood with his hands down, and the other looked solemn, like this woman, coldly looking at the farce below.

"Master Zhu Xie has a reputation, and I don't think it's the likes of the prodigal sons. This is something that the palace trusts, and so do all of you here. ”

Everyone has already seen that the woman is the wife of Jiang Caiyu, the director of the Jiangnan Weaving Mansion, the emperor's sister, and the famous Princess Jicai.

She said this, but changed her style again: "However, since this old man said that Master Bamboo Jie is...... Well, then you might as well let him make it clear, it just so happens that Master Bamboo Xie is also here, just right to confront him. ”

"In this way, you can return your innocence and give this old man an explanation."

Ji Cai's words couldn't help but make everyone in the audience below say yes, Luo Weiping saw this, and it was inconvenient to stop him, so he said to Master Su: "What the princess said is reasonable. So, you say it. ”

He felt that he hadn't made it clear, so he added in a deep voice: "You must make it clear!" ”

Old Man Su was let go, and he breathed a few times before he spoke loudly-

"Takejie took away my daughter's innocence!"

At this point, there was an uproar, and Zhu Xie was calm, which also made Old Man Su even more angry, and he raised his voice again and shouted:

"Judges!"

"On that day, Zhu Xie was injured in my Su family due to the disaster of Pingliu Temple, and our Su family served with all their hearts, especially my daughter, who took care of her almost day and night."

Originally, Old Man Su was also telling the truth, but he couldn't stand the good deeds below, and they teased loudly: "Old Man Su, that means that my daughter took the initiative." That's what's wrong with you! People are in love with concubines, what are you an old man stirring up? ”

"I see, it's probably your daughter who seduced Master Bamboo Solution!"

"This old man doesn't understand Fengyue!"

……

Hearing this, Old Man Su became even more angry, his chest rose and fell, and a mouthful of blood spurted out. However, Zhu Xie still watched coldly and did not say a word.

"But Zhujie is a monk, my daughter is not sensible, are you not sensible?" Old Man Su looked at Zhu Jie's eyes, almost a kind of anger that was about to erupt: "Do you know? Su Jue is pregnant, and she came to you, don't tell me you don't know! ”

"Today, you must hand over Su Jue and give us an explanation!"

At this time, seeing that Old Man Su vomited blood, Li Yunshui and Xu Ruoyun got off the horse, walked quickly onto the high platform, supported the old man, and handed over a handkerchief.

When Old Man Su saw Li Yunshui, it was like seeing a savior, he grabbed Li Yunshui and wept: "Master Li, you were there at the time, you must prove it to us!" ”

Li Yunshui was very helpless, but when he saw Zhu Xie looking at it, his eyes were very indifferent, as if this matter had nothing to do with him.

Although he didn't know the situation, Li Yunshui had to answer honestly: "Senior brother and I were indeed in Su Mansion a few days ago. ”

There was another uproar from below.

"However, I don't know anything about Su Jue's matter!"

At this point, it was like a thunderstorm, and everyone immediately started to talk about it, some spoke for Zhu Jie, and some spoke for Old Man Su, and no one knew who was right and who was wrong for a while.

Although Old Man Su was helpless, Li Yunshui's words were indeed objective, so he had to beg: "Half a month ago, Su Jue came to Jiangnan Mansion to find a bamboo solution, but there has been no news, I estimate that this monk should have hidden Su Jue, and even been poisoned!" ”

"Since I left the stratosphere, I haven't seen Miss Su Jue again." Zhu Xie explained lightly.

But where do the people below understand? The sound of coaxing was endless.

Seeing the chaos of the scene, Luo Weiping had no choice but to ask Ji Cai loudly: "Princess, the public says that the public is reasonable, and the mother-in-law says that the mother-in-law is reasonable, this matter cannot be determined for a while, can this old man be imprisoned first?" Let's interrogate slowly? ”

"No problem." Ji Cai replied lightly, "However, isn't it unfair to just detain this old man and let Zhu Xie go out?" ”

This was said so beautifully that the crowd of onlookers below echoed it.

Luo Weiping was secretly bitter in his heart.

Someone from the palace came yesterday and had already communicated with him. Zhu Xie made such a Zen sutra conference in the south of the Yangtze River, which had a great influence in Buddhism. In particular, after reading the transcript, the emperor added blue eyes to the monk, and prepared to summon Zhujie into Beijing after the end of this Zen scripture conference.

The rest of the matter comes naturally.

And at this moment, the person from the palace was beside Princess Jicai, and witnessed this farce, if Zhu Xie didn't solve this matter well, not only Zhu Xie would suffer, but even he himself couldn't get out of it.

Thinking of his hard reading for several years, it was easy to get into the Jinshi, and he waited for several years to wait for a small county office, from the nine-grade sesame official, all the way to the ups and downs of the sea, to today's three-grade master, how not easy!

Unexpectedly, I am going to go to the Tao today, what can I do?

So, he secretly glanced at Ji Cai, and saw that she was righteous and awe-inspiring, not like she was joking, although she was helpless, but she had to say: "What the princess said is very true." Come on, put Zhu Xie and this old man in prison together for trial! ”

As a result, a grand Zen sutra conference was stopped.

However, things are only solved at the beginning, in the middle and even in the back, and there is still a long way to go.

For example, the matter of Zhujie and Su Jue will already be boiling in a short time, and the trouble will be known all over the city, and within three days, the major state capitals in Suyang will receive this news.

In the evening, when Li Yunshui was silent, he quietly came to Jiangnan Mansion, found Luo Weiping, and asked to see a bamboo solution.

Luo Weiping naturally did not feel embarrassed and led him to the prison.

However, Zhu Xie was always lukewarm to Li Yunshui's meeting, and after saying hello lightly, no matter what Li Yunshui said, Zhu Xie was always silent.

This reaction made Luo Weiping speechless for a while, the emperor paid attention to Li Yunshui, it's good for you to give people a cold eye, it's still too young.

Li Yunshui had no choice but to walk out.

At this time, a jailer ran up, saluted Luo Weiping, and said, "My lord, that old man wants to see him." ”

This is him, naturally, Li Yunshui.

Li Yunshui came to Old Man Su alone and asked cautiously, "Old Man Su, what is going on with Su Jue?" ”

When Old Man Su saw Li Yunshui, he seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw, and after crying bitterly, he said slowly-

"Actually, the old man also knows that Jue'er loves Zhujie. It stands to reason that if the female university is not staying, I shouldn't beat the mandarin duck. But is Takejie a person who can be entrusted with life? ”

"He is a disciple of Buddhism, and he has achieved such achievements at such a young age, how can the Nameless Temple let him return to the world? If Jue'er is allowed to do this, the consequences can be imagined, not to mention that Luohua is intentionally ruthless, just talking about Jue'er's reputation, it will not be good, how will she marry in the future? ”

"So, I had a good talk with Jue'er, but she didn't listen to anything, but begged me to agree to them, and she said they ...... Alas, the raw rice has been cooked into cooked rice. ”

"I was very angry and slapped her, but early the next morning, I found that Jue'er was missing."

"When I asked the girl next to her, I found out that Jue'er was already pregnant with Liujia, and she ran out alone to find a bamboo solution!"

"You know the rest of the matter, Childe."

"If I hadn't been forced to do anything, how could I have acted so recklessly and made my daughter's affairs public? It's nothing more than forcing Zhu Xie to return to the vulgar and give Jue'er a lifetime. ”

"Now it seems that Zhu Xie is so ruthless and unrighteous, my old man's abacus is empty!"

"Childe, you are my son's friend, you have great skills, you must be the master for me!" After that, he sobbed again, and his appearance was unusually sad, as if he was several years older.

Li Yunshui comforted a few words and walked out slowly.

This...... But how is it good? Li Yunshui had no choice, he only hoped that this was a misunderstanding and would not harm his senior brother. And where is the young woman who is pregnant with Rokka?

It's autumn, does she take good care of herself?

Without waiting for Li Yunshui to think about Su Jue's traces, Su Jue ran out by himself and exposed himself to the blue sky and white sun.
