Chapter 979: Clearing

Princess Huaping was just sixteen or seventeen years old when she made trouble in the palace, and she had already married Pang Jing, perhaps dissatisfied with this marriage, or wanted to enjoy the last free time before the marriage, in short, she chose the most outrageous way to vent her excess energy.

Fa Feng couldn't tell many details, he only knew that Princess Huaping had stolen a lot of things in the palace, but far less than in folklore, and he didn't steal the imperial seal and issue a holy decree.

She was just playing, and the stolen gold, silver, and jewelry were thrown around, and indeed a few residents of Jingshi were lucky enough to pick it up, and when they saw the palace mark on it, they were so frightened that they immediately handed it in, but it caused a lot of rumors.

The fame of "Red Batgirl" grew, and the princess became more and more unable to stop.

The emperor was finally furious, he didn't know that the perpetrator was his favorite sister, so he issued a strict order to kill, and the first few groups of pursuers blindly looked for clues outside the palace, naturally without a clue, but Princess Huaping regarded this as her own superb means.

When Gu Lun accepted the responsibility of being pursued, he recognized that there was an internal response in the palace from the beginning, so he openly searched and arrested with great fanfare, and investigated in the palace on the other, and soon locked Princess Huaping.

The next thing can only be guessed, and it involves the secret between the emperor and Gu Lun: it is a matter of the dignity of the emperor, the palace thief must be punished, and at the same time, the reputation of Princess Huaping must also be preserved, so Gu Lun planned a large-scale round-up, forcing the Red Batgirl to "commit suicide", quelling the crisis, but forming a grudge.

After listening to Fa Feng's narration, what came to Gu Shenwei's mind was not the princess of the Central Plains, but Shangguan Ru in his youth.

As for Princess Huaping, who should be grateful, why did she hate General Gu to the bone, Fa Feng didn't even guess, "That's it, General Gu accidentally revealed a few words to me, and then reminded me to keep it secret, now that the first emperor has died, General Gu has been killed, and the Dragon King is eager to take revenge, I broke my oath and told me that the accident in the middle is really not something I can understand." ”

There must have been a lot of truth in Fa Feng's story, but Gu Shenwei noticed that the abbot of the Four Noble Truths had skillfully played a trick of first suppressing and then rising, and unknowingly, his role in the Gu family's extermination incident had come to naught, as if he were just a mere bystander and insider.

Gu Shenwei didn't break this point, and said, "The people of the Pang family hired a killer, and then what? Why didn't I die?"

Gu Shenwei's head was cut off twice, all of them impostors, the first time he was recognized, and the second time he was recognized, which has always been a puzzle for him.

Fa Feng put down his right leg and sat cross-legged, his waist bent, looking old, neither famous nor like a Buddhist monk, "The people of the Pang family somehow found me and said that since everyone's tasks are the same, why don't you cooperate......"

"The Pang family has invited a killer, what do you need your help with?"

"He needed someone who was familiar with the Gu family's appearance. ”

Gu Shenwei raised his head slightly, and his right hand habitually wanted to touch the handle of the knife, and immediately remembered that the weapons were all left outside the temple.

It turned out that the monk in front of him was the one who recognized the corpse back then, and the heads of his old friend's whole family were in front of him, how would he feel if he believed in Buddhism? Gu Shenwei really wanted to dig out his head and take a closer look.

But Fa Feng only wants to talk about the facts, and doesn't want to involve his own heart, "The wood is already in the boat, I can't save General Gu's family, and there is Yan Qin's pressure on my body, so I agreed to cooperate with the Pang family, and I have seen the heads of General Gu, Mrs. Gu, Shen'er, Shenbi, and Cuilan." ”

The names of his parents and siblings suddenly appeared, Gu Shenwei felt like he had been stabbed five times in his heart, each time it was bloody, and the appearance of his relatives was gradually blurred, but the feeling they left behind had never weakened, just the name was mentioned by outsiders, which would also cause a strong impact.

Fa Feng lowered his head, as if he was inspecting the cold tea, but he paid attention to the Dragon King's every move, he could feel the rising anger and the faint murderous intention, the Dragon King's martial arts were indeed different, even when the murderous intent was at its highest, it was not as obvious as an ordinary robber.

"There is also the head of the Dragon King, I didn't expect Jinpeng Fort to kill the wrong person, so I pointed it out directly, Dubu King was furious, and cut off the palm of the Eighth Young Master in front of me, I remember the scene clearly, and asked myself, I have the fault of sitting back and watching General Gu's whole family was killed, but the killer was not invited by me, but my sentence 'the head is wrong', but I killed one more person, this is my sin, and I can't get rid of it no matter what. ”

Fa Bong still grabbed the teacup, brought it to his mouth but didn't drink it, and put it back in its place.

"So the second time the skull came, you said it was me. ”

"Well, the eighth young master is probably desperate, I don't know where to find an innocent boy who looks like the dragon king, and cut off his head after killing, I lied to the Dubu king, and I saved the dragon king, but this young man still died because of me. ”

Both of them remained quiet, each thinking about their own thoughts, and Fa Feng's dazed appearance really looked like he was repenting of his sins.

Gu Shenwei regained control of the anger and murderous intent in his heart, he didn't come to kill people today, "How can you recognize me and my sister? I don't remember meeting you." ”

"We met, but the Dragon King doesn't remember, on the day the Gu family moved away, I went over to see them off, and I saw everyone, the Dragon King was only ten years old at that time, saluted me, called me uncle, and then ran to ride a horse, but accidentally fell off the horse, the whole family was panicked, but you smiled and said it was okay. ”

Gu Shenwei warned himself to keep his emotions firmly in check, but Fa Feng's memories still made his heart stir, yes, he remembered that he had fallen off the horse, and the smile at that time was just to hide his embarrassment.

That's it, Fa Feng not only plucked himself out of the destruction gate, but also gave the Dragon King a new clue and a life-saving grace.

Fa Feng didn't mean to end there, and continued, "There is something I have to tell the Dragon King. ”

"Hmm. ”

"Confirming that the second head belongs to the Dragon King, it's not just my decision, it's a coincidence, when I was regretting talking too much, Nakahara sent an urgent letter, and there was only one sentence on it, 'Get by'. ”

Fa Feng took out the letter from his bosom, put it on the couch, and pushed it to the dragon king.

Gu Shenwei picked up the letter and took out the yellowed old paper inside, the words on it had already dimmed, but they were still clearly visible, and the lower left corner was stamped with a private seal, which was a quaint "Qin" character, which Gu Shenwei could barely recognize.

"Yan Qin doesn't want to slaughter the Gu clan again?"

"Yes, again, I don't know why, but with these four words, I am more comfortable misidentifying the second head. ”

Gu Shenwei stood up suddenly, he didn't want to listen any longer, and asked one last question: "Abbot of the Four Noble Truths, who gave you this reward?"

A newcomer to the monkhood, who wants to become the abbot of a famous temple, of course, needs a strong background.

"Yan Qin and the Pang family have both contributed a little bit, mainly Yan Qin. Fa Bong did not deny this.

Gu Shenwei walked out of the meditation room, he still had many doubts in his heart, and he couldn't ask anymore, Fa Fengzheng skillfully instilled the "truth", and even wanted to make the Dragon King change the goal of revenge, Gu Shenwei could resist this force, but it also took time to digest.

In the courtyard, two young monks were sweeping the ground, and when they saw the dragon king, they saluted together.

Gu Shenwei came out early, Queen Ju hadn't worshiped all the gods, he waited in the guest room, trying not to think about anything.

Across the courtyard, Shi Qingjue was also trying not to think about anything.

Fa Chong is his uncle and ancestor, and he has a high status in the temple, and the monks of the Juezi generation are usually rare to see, Shi Qingjue has been a monk for nearly 20 years, and he actually had the opportunity to be summoned separately after returning to the world.

He knelt on the ground, and he could still deeply feel the influence of the Four Noble Truths on himself, and the Dharma monks may only be a status symbol to outsiders, but in his eyes they are tantamount to living bodhisattvas.

"Disciple Jueqing knocked to see his uncle. ”

"The worship of the monks, and the worship of the laity?" Fa Chong asked.

Shi Qingjue then remembered that he was no longer a monk, and suddenly felt ashamed, as if he had done a great wrong, and had to beg for the victim's forgiveness, "Return the worship of the layman Shi Qingjue." ”

"Now that you have returned to the world, you can no longer practice the rites of disciples. Fa Chong changed his posture from the futon, landed on all fours, and kowtowed to Shi Qingjue.

Shi Qingjue was startled, and hurriedly got up and stepped aside, he had already heard that Fa Chong's argument was unhindered but old-fashioned and serious, and today he could be regarded as a teacher.

"Donor, please be seated. After returning the salute, Fa Chong sat down again, his face unmoved, and his expression was as serious as a statue.

"The Dragon King sent me to ......"

"But you didn't officially come to the door with a sticker, but found another way to secretly ask for a meeting, and there was a fight halfway through, making this 'secret' well-known. ”

Shi Qingjue was speechless for a while, he thought it was an impeccable plan, but now he saw that it was ridiculously naΓ―ve.

This was the first step to sow discord, while the Dragon King was talking to the abbot, Shi Qingjue secretly met with the senior monks of the Fa Zi generation, and then created some rumors to arouse the suspicion of Fa Feng, but this trick was seen through by Fa Chong at a glance.

"Uncle Shi...... The Zen master's eyes are like torches, and I have nothing to hide. Shi Qingjue simply spoke in a negotiating tone, "The Dragon King and the abbot have some personal grudges, I hope you monks don't interfere." ”

"The monks have all their grievances, why should the dragon king chase after him?"

"The abbot is a monk, the dragon king is not a monk, but the dragon king said that the grievances are only on one person, and it has nothing to do with the Four Noble Truths, and he respects all the high monks, especially the Fachong Zen master, so he sent me to inform in advance. ”

"Got it. ”

Shi Qingjue thought that Fa Chong would continue to speak, but after waiting for a while, the old monk didn't say a word, and it seemed that he was going to end the meeting.

In any case, the first step of the dissension plan was achieved, Fa Chong saw through the plan but still agreed with him, this is an excellent omen, Shi Qingjue bowed, quietly exited the room, and hurriedly left the Four Noble Truths under the guarded eyes of several monks.

Walking to the mountain gate, Shi Qingjue happened to see a knight hurrying over, shouting loudly for the pilgrims to give way.

The knight moved forward at full speed, but he still didn't run the rumors, as soon as he passed, Shi Qingjue heard the discussion of pedestrians, and knew that the candidates for the first battle of the city lord competition had been determined three days later: Chu Nanping against Fang Shuyi.

Xuan Qingjue thought to himself, competition and revenge, I don't know which thing the dragon king pays more attention to?
