Chapter 148: Story (2)
The story of a year ago.... Xu Qi'an's mood turned from lost to excited, there is no doubt that Hengyuan's so-called story is mostly the story of Henghui and the county lord of Pingyang.
What happened to the two is the key to solving the Sambo case. So far, the demon clan has not appeared, and only one Henghui has made waves with the seal, which has to make people ponder, what do the remnants of the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom want to do?
So far, there has been only one case of the destruction of the Pingyuan Bofu Mansion, which has had a great impact, but the substantive damage has not been great. And Henghui can completely kill all sides desperately, bringing heavy casualties to the capital. But he didn't.
If the target was just a seal, then Henghui should have left the capital a long time ago.
"The case between Monk Henghui and the county lord of Pingyang, at this moment, has already taken over the Sangbo case.... I always feel that the person behind it is deliberately exposing Henghui to the sun..."
Yang Yan tapped the tip of the spear, and the qi machine crushed the sleeve tube of the Hengyuan monk, a pair of muscular and knotted arms, containing powerful power, but it was by no means a monster.
"Heng Hui is indeed dead, he died a year ago, and it is only the walking dead who survived, and he has been liberated. This is not some conspiracy. Hengyuan looked at the junior brother who was close at hand, and there seemed to be dark clouds condensed in his eyes.
Oh, the clouds in Hengyuan's eyes collapsed, and the past poured down like a torrential rain.
.....
Henghui was sent to Qinglong Temple by his parents at the age of six, he was a child with aura in his eyes, and he was taken by the abbot Panshu monk at a glance and accepted as an apprentice.
Henghui's enlightenment was completed when his senior brother Hengyuan sat down, this burly, bitter-looking senior brother taught him to read and write, teach him to meditate and chant scriptures, and also taught him the principles of life.
He has a fatherly love for this senior brother.
Many years have passed in a blink of an eye, and the smart little monk has grown into a handsome monk with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes. He originally thought that he would spend the same years as his master and brother, the ancient Buddha and the green lamp.
Until one day, he met a girl....
It was a sunny spring, he was washing clothes in the stream, and when he saw a handkerchief coming down the stream, he subconsciously scooped it up, and then there was a crisp voice like a yellow oriole in his ears:
"Master, that's my handkerchief, can you give it back to me. ”
Henghui raised her eyes and saw a slim woman standing by the bluestone upstream, she was wearing a lotus-colored long skirt, combing the long hair of a girl who had not left the pavilion, facing the sky, with a pretty face in the sun, and a pair of smiling eyes.
"The benefactor.... Are you a pilgrim in the temple?"
"Why, I said I'm not a pilgrim, aren't you going to return my handkerchief? She pinched her waist and pretended to be coquettish.
"No, no, the little monk just thinks that the female benefactor is alive. He explained, offering his handkerchief in both hands.
"Hmph, you only know how to bow your head and do things and chant scriptures every day, and there are pilgrims in your eyes. ”
"How does the female benefactor know. ”
"Because I've been following you for a long time. ”
On a bright spring afternoon, the gurgling stream flowed, and it was their first time meeting.
The acquaintance and acquaintance of the two is a natural process.
When Henghui meditated, the girl was by her side, watching her private boudoir ** pass the time, or gently fanning the fan, holding her cheeks, and looking at Henghui's focused face in a daze.
Occasionally, he would tease him with a dog's tail so that he could not concentrate on meditation, which annoyed Monk Jun. Angry and said, "You are like this, and the little monk is in retreat."
She always sticks out the tip of her tongue and apologizes insincerely.
Sometimes they will go to the mountains together, the scenery of Baifeng Mountain is beautiful, when spring comes, the mountains are full of flowers, she smiles in the bushes, and she can't tell whether the flowers are beautiful, or the people are more beautiful.
Gradually, rumors about the two circulated among the monks of Qinglong Temple, saying that his six roots were not purified, he broke the color ring, and he was an obscene monk.
In front of the statue of the Buddha, Master Panshu asked him three questions: whether he was still devout to the Buddha, whether he was interested in the woman, and whether he wanted to return to the world.
He firmly said that he was still devout to the Buddha, that he had no intention of women, and that he would always accompany the Buddha and not return to the world.
In this regard, the abbot had only one request: to speak to her again.
As for why he didn't see her anymore and didn't let her enter the temple, Henghui later learned that the abbot didn't want to, but couldn't do it.
She is the lord of Pingyang and the daughter of King Yu.
From that day on, Henghui really ignored her, and when she came, he closed his eyes and meditated, indifferent to her teasing and pranks.
She came every day with great anticipation and left disappointed and lonely.
"Monk, is this flower beautiful, it matches me very well. ”
“.....”
"Monk, can I play the qin for you? ”
“.....”
"Monk, I'm dizzy and unwell, don't you care about me?"
“....”
"Monk, do you have to stuff yourself into solitude? ”
“.....”
She finally stopped coming, and did not set foot in Qinglong Temple again for a month, completely withdrawing from his life, as if she had never existed.
I can continue to accompany the Buddha and no one will disturb me again.... He breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that it was his sincerity that moved the Buddha.
One day, she came again, looking dejected, her face thinned and her face haggard.
"Monk, I'm getting married. ”
For some reason, the beads were scattered all over the place.
At that time, King Yu was at a critical moment, serving as the secretary of the military department, and with the support of the nobles, he was expected to enter the cabinet.
The examples of nobles and clans serving as the first assistants are not uncommon in this dynasty, and throughout the 600-year history, there are five people who have served as the first assistants as nobles.
For the declining Xungui Group, the rise of Yuwang has given them hope. Carrying him on.
King Yu, who is on the cusp of the storm, has set a family affair for the lord of Pingyang, not only to find a good home for his daughter, but also to try to get more support through marriage.
"Monk, would you like to elope with me?"
“.... Good. ”
Henghui agreed, he finally saw his heart clearly and chose to face his true self.
They began to plan for elopement, and the county lord of Pingyang was accompanied by guards when she went in and out, and if she disappeared for more than half an hour, the guards would search the mountain, and soon after, the news would be transmitted back to Prince Yu's mansion.
Therefore, if they want to elope successfully, they need a magic weapon that can block their breath to hide from the search of the Heavenly Warlock.
Finally, there is also a need for a new household registration for them, as well as a channel to help them leave the borders of the capital.
For this reason, the lord of Binh Duong found a trustworthy friend, hoping that he could help him.
......
"It's Pingyuan's uncle's son-in-law, that friend is Pingyuan's uncle's son?!" Xu Qi'an said in a deep voice, interrupting Hengyuan's story.
All this suddenly became clear, Pingyuan Bo has a tooth organization under his hands, and he is the best at identity fraud and smuggling, even if the county lord of Pingyang does not know the existence of the tooth organization, but the two families are still close friends to play, and it is reasonable to know some of the means of Pingyuan Bofu.
King Yu once said that Pingyuan Bo and Wenchen eyebrows, and the Xungui Group is drifting apart. Ping Yuanbo definitely has a motive to assassinate Pingyang.
This also led to the later Pingyuan Bofu extermination case.... I just don't know what role the military department Shangshu Mansion plays in it.... Xu Qi'an looked at No. 6 Hengyuan, and said in his heart, did you think that they were abducted because you knew that they had been in contact with the tooth organization?
In front of everyone's eyes, he didn't dare to ask.
Several Jin Gong listened to Xu Qi'an's words and looked at Hengyuan with questioning eyes.
"Yes," Hengyuan nodded lightly: "The simple-minded county lord of Pingyang doesn't know the complexity of the situation in the court at all, let alone the viciousness of people's hearts. A girl who has not been deeply involved in the world, a monk who recites sutras and recites Buddhism, from the moment they decide to elope, the tragic ending is already doomed. ”
At that time, Pingyuan Bo and the Xungui group had already been inseparable, and after he learned about this matter through his son, he immediately discussed with Zhang Feng, the squire of the military department at that time, and Sun Mingzhong in the household department, and worked out a plan to send the county lord of Pingyang out of the capital, so as to attack the king of Yu. ”
"Where is the county lord of Pingyang now?" Jiang Luzhong said in a deep voice.
Hengyuan didn't seem to hear it, and continued: "People's hearts are like snakes and scorpions, after sending people out of the capital, the son-in-law of Pingyuan Bo, together with Sun Mingzhong and Zhang Feng, the squire of the military department, wanted to commit violence against the county lord of Pingyang on the way.
The two resisted desperately, the last man was killed, and one committed suicide by swallowing a hairpin. In order to cover up the crime, they buried the bodies of Henghui and the county lord of Pingyang in the barren mountains, along with the magic weapon that shielded the breath.
"The outside world only knows that the county lord of Pingyang has disappeared for no reason, and even if the Qinglong Temple is found, it will only think that the two have eloped. Who would have thought that they died a year ago. ”
The lord of Binh Duong is dead.... The golden gongs looked at each other silently, their faces serious and terrifying.
The county lord of Pingyang is the concubine of King Yu and the niece of Emperor Yuan Jing, and killing the county lord is a great crime to exterminate the three clans.
Nangong Qianrou held the hilt of the knife and squinted: "Since Henghui is dead, why will she be here in a year?"
This is also the doubt in the hearts of everyone.
It is impossible for a person to be resurrected when he dies like a lamp goes out.
"He's dead. Hengyuan said something that everyone couldn't understand.
"He died a year ago, and was sealed in the flesh by a secret method, and became a sentient walking corpse. In this year, what supported him was revenge. It is the blood feud of the lord of Pingyang.
"If you don't believe it, bring it back to the yamen for examination. ”
"Who saved him?" questioned one of the golden gongs.
Hengyuan shook his head.
The Jin Gong glanced at Yang Yan and the others, and said, "Where is the body of the county lord of Pingyang?" Take us there." ”
After a pause, he instructed the surrounding silver gongs: "Send Henghui's body back to the yamen." ”
Several golden gongs escorted Hengyuan out of the small courtyard, gave him a horse, and the group went out of the city in a mighty way.
Xu Qi'an was riding on horseback, his mood was a little heavy, he was speechless for a long time, and after a long time, he whispered: "Is that Hengyuan? Is it possible to be taken away or controlled?"
The gray cat lying on his shoulder said lazily: "It's Hengyuan, yes, heh, although I can't look at it, I also have my own means to distinguish the true from the false." ”
"Is Henghui really dead?" Xu Qi'an didn't believe it.
"His life and death are not the key to the case," the gray cat whispered, "he is a puppet himself, the magic hand is gone, and for the people behind the scenes, his life and death no longer matter." You should be happy that the case was solved more easily than you thought. ”
"I really can't be happy, Henghui and Pingyang County Lord are poor people. Xu Qi'an tugged at the corners of his mouth, revealing a smile without a smile.
He sighed and changed the topic: "There is something wrong with Henghui's case, it seems that the people behind the scenes deliberately pushed it to the front of the stage." ”
.....
At the junction of Taikang County and Changle County, somewhere barren mountain, Hengyuan was trekking and looking forward to it, as if he was looking for something.
The process was inefficient and slow, and he told the golden gongs that Henghui only told him the general direction, and told him that the lord of Pingyang was buried in the root of an old locust tree that was hugged by three people.
The golden and silver gongs spread out around Hengyuan, guarding him in the center to prevent him from escaping.
Half an hour later, they found the old locust tree, and the three silver gongs cut down the shrubs and weeds under the locust tree, and used their sabers as shovels, and after a moment of shaving, the black earth faintly revealed the white bones.
"My lord, I found it. Yingong shouted excitedly.
"Dig it out!" Nangong Qianrou said in a deep voice.
The bones of the county lord of Pingyang were exposed to everyone's eyes little by little, and after more than a year, she finally reappeared.
The flesh had rotted, and only a white skeleton was clinged to tattered strips of cloth, which should have been the clothes worn before death. In addition, between the throat canal and the chest and abdomen of the bones, a dull golden hairpin was found.
As Hengyuan said, she committed suicide by swallowing hairpins.
"Amitabha. Hengyuan couldn't bear to look at it anymore, closed his eyes, and recited the Buddha's name painfully.
"There is nothing else, there is no way to prove that this skeleton must be the county lord of Pingyang. Jiang Luzhong frowned.
"It's normal. In the deep groans of the golden gongs, Xu Qi'an walked under the locust tree and said: "The county lord of Pingyang eloped with his lover, and he definitely needs to be disguised, and he will not bring valuable items to attract the attention of others."
"Let's bury the bones first, bring them back to the yamen, and then send someone to inform Prince Yu's mansion, King Yu may recognize this golden hairpin. ”
After burying the bones, everyone walked out of the mountain, Jiang Luzhong patted Xu Qi'an's shoulder: "Good job." ”
Yang Yan, who doesn't like to talk, bowed his head slightly, and said unprecedentedly: "You are the first person to make the most of this case, even if the Sangbo case is not found out in the end, Your Majesty will probably exonerate you." ”
Xu Qi'an was about to speak, and felt as if his back had been slashed by a knife.
He didn't have to look back to know that that sharp gaze came from Zhu Jinluo.
PS: I was able to finish the Sambo case today, huh, relieved.
Guys, remember to help me find typos. I proceeded to the second chapter of the Liver Code.
