101 House arrest

"I want to hear about it. ”

Abbot Xuanci bowed and said, although his expression was calm, his impression of Zhao Ji in his heart was not good. He has also heard of the name of this prince, a rich and noble idler who is enthusiastic about cultivating the Tao, and the initiator who has made people panic in the Zen sect recently. In addition to the identity of the ancient temple of Zenmen, Shaolin Temple is also the mainstay of the Central Plains martial arts, and many factors add up, and the abbot of Xuanci naturally has no good impression of this restless Duan Wangye.

Zhao Ji turned a blind eye to Abbot Xuanci's indifferent attitude, and just said: "I have a good relationship with Deputy Gang Master Ma, which may seem impossible to outsiders, but I really don't need to deceive the two masters." ”

Mrs. Ma nodded on the side, agreeing with Zhao Ji's words. The faces of Abbot Xuanci and Master Zhiguang changed, all because they felt that the friendship between a prince of the clan and a beggar gang was really strange, but they couldn't think of any reason for Zhao Ji to deceive themselves, so they just waited for the next words in silence.

After sighing, Zhao Ji said again: "Long before Deputy Ma's gang leader was killed, he expected this to happen, and came to visit Xiao Wang, and explained some things to Xiao Wang, hoping that in case of an unforeseen thing, Xiao Wang could help take care of what happened behind him." ”

Hearing this, the faces of the three people in the room all changed, and the abbot of Xuanci couldn't help but say: "Lord Wang, since Deputy Gang Leader Ma had already expected this, why didn't he take precautions as soon as possible?

This is exactly where Xiao Wang admires Deputy Gang Leader Ma, knowing that this trip is auspicious and unlucky, for the safety of the beggar gang and the Central Plains Martial Arts, he still resolutely set foot on the road. ”

Zhao Ji said again: "Deputy Gang Leader Ma came to visit Xiao Wang, and told Xiao Wang about the life experience of the beggar gang Qiao gang leader, and said that he has been cultivating and assisting Qiao gang leader in accordance with Wang Lao's last wish over the years, after years of observation, he felt that Wang Lao's decision was not wrong, Qiao Feng Qiao gang leader Although he is a foreign race, but his loyalty to the beggar gang and his adherence to the righteousness of martial arts are obvious to all, and he has not lived up to the ardent expectations of Wang Lao Gang Leader, so Deputy Ma Gang Leader is also very pleased. ”

"Good and good, Qiao Gang Leader knows how to repay his kindness, loyalty and courage, Wang Lao Gang Leader is bold and strong, broad-minded, and the old man is not far away, I am really ashamed. Abbot Xuanci sighed, and the expression of the monk Zhiguang on the side became a little unnatural, he was still pulling Ma Dayuan's death on Qiao Feng before, but Zhao Ji's words gave him a solid slap.

"Although the beggars are peaceful, they are not without their worries. Not long ago, some rumors suddenly spread in Luoyang, the head of the beggar gang, which was related to the life experience of Qiao Feng and Qiao's gang leader. This matter naturally attracted the attention of Deputy Gang Leader Ma, and he sent people to investigate, but before the root cause could be found, the beggar gang had murders one after another, and many disciples who had not been in the gang long ago were lying in the ditch. The deputy gang leader of Yesa concluded that this was a sinister conspiracy against the beggar gang, and he wanted to use the mystery of the life experience of the Qiao gang leader to attack the now thriving beggar gang and the Qiao gang leader. ”

Zhao Ji continued: "Deputy Gang Leader Ma is worried about the future of the Beggar Gang, and he doesn't want Old Gang Leader Wang to waste all his hard work because of this conspiracy, but who is brewing this conspiracy, Deputy Gang Leader Ma can't find out. Helpless, he wanted to visit the two masters, as soon as he came to meet with the masters, the beggar gang was happy and convinced of the Qiao gang leader, and the Qiao gang leader did not live up to the trust, so I hope that the two masters can let go of the mustard in their hearts, and stop mentioning the old things again, and there will be twists and turns in vain. Second, I also hope to ask the details of the two masters back then, so as to deduce who was secretly making trouble, and to provoke the old things of the year and cause trouble for Wulin. ”

Speaking of this, Zhao Ji glanced at Monk Zhiguang meaningfully, and then said: "Xiao Wang has a deep friendship with Deputy Gang Leader Ma, and he wanted to help him, but Deputy Gang Leader Ma said that this matter happened in the rivers and lakes and stopped in the rivers and lakes, and it was not easy to solve it with external forces after all. He knew that since the other party wanted to stir up trouble, it must not be as simple as fabricating rumors, or there would be tricks to be played, he wanted to eliminate this disaster by himself, or it would become an obstacle for the other party to get rid of it quickly, so he came to visit Xiao Wang before leaving, saying that if he encountered an accident on this trip, he hoped that Xiao Wang could take action to stabilize the situation, and not let the beggar gang rise up in chaos, harming the hero of the Qiao gang leader, and also abolishing the painstaking arrangements of the old gang leader Wang. ”

After Zhao Ji finished speaking, the two monks bowed their heads and were silent, especially the monk Zhiguang, whose face was even darker. Although Zhao Ji's words were not explicitly stated, the implicit meaning in them pointed to him. And his remarks just now coincide with the black hand who plays with conspiracy and fears that the world will not be chaotic in Zhao Jiyan.

Master Xuan Ci also felt the hidden meaning in these words, and couldn't help but turn his eyes to glance at Master Zhiguang's old friend for many years. He didn't believe that Monk Zhiguang was a sinister person, but if what this Duan Wang Ye said was really entrusted by Ma Dayuan's last words, this matter is really worth discussing. From an emotional point of view, Master Xuanci believed that Monk Zhiguang was of noble character, but he really couldn't think of any reason for this prince to be honest, so he was in a dilemma for a while.

After being silent for a long time, the monk Zhiguang got up again and said in a deep voice: "What the old man said before was all out of the facts, but in front of the prince, it is difficult to defend himself. I only ask the prince to give the old man a dagger, and the old man is willing to dissect this old rotten skin in front of the prince to defend himself!"

Abbot Xuanci hurriedly got up and said: "Master Zhiguang, no! I have been friends with you for many years, and I know that you are a frank person, and you will never do that kind of yin owl thing, and this matter must be discussed in the long run." As long as you find out the reason for the murder of Deputy Ma's gang leader, you will naturally clear yourself, master. ”

Zhao Ji saw that the old monk was still a dead duck with a hard mouth, and there was no sign of softness, obviously relying on the presence of Abbot Xuanci, and he had no way to get him. However, Zhao Ji was not frustrated and dissatisfied, if this old monk was really famous, it would be difficult for him to pry his mouth open in a short period of time, and he was not determined to do so.

Seeing that Monk Zhiguang looked aggrieved with words of suffering, Zhao Ji just said: "The master is serious, you are high-spirited and bright, and the world admires you, Xiao Wang really has no disrespect and slander thoughts towards you, and Fang Cai only relayed Deputy Ma's dying words, and did not mean anything to the master." The bright ones don't argue with themselves, and you don't need to say anything to Xiao Wang, master. ”

Xiao Wang invited the two masters to come to Bianliang, firstly, to explain the last wish of Deputy Ma's gang leader to the two masters, and secondly, to ask the two masters about the clues. It's just that the two masters seem to be in the dark, and I don't know why, this second intention seems to be difficult to achieve. ”

Zhao Ji pondered for a moment, and then said: "In any case, since Deputy Gang Leader Ma entrusted me with the matter, now that he is gone, I can't live up to his last wishes." I don't know who the conspiracy is, but even Deputy Ma's gang leader dared to kill him, so he may not just give up. This conspiracy originated from the old incident, the two masters are the people who are involved in the matter, for the two masters, I hope you can stay in Bianliang for the time being, Xiao Wang will arrange people to properly protect the two masters, and when this matter is over, then send the two masters away. I wonder what the two masters think?"

Hearing this, they thought for a while, and the two monks realized that Zhao Ji's intention was to put them under house arrest. Therefore, the faces of the two of them were a little unnatural, especially the abbot of Xuanci, who was in charge of Shaolin and had a great reputation in the martial arts, how could he be willing to endure this kind of treatment. However, Ma Dayuan's last words relayed by Zhao Ji earlier made him feel a lot, and it was difficult to make a decision for a while. Moreover, although the attitude of this prince is polite, his words are soft and rigid, and Master Xuanci has to think a little more about what bad consequences will be caused if he refuses this arrangement.

Monk Zhiguang said: "Lao Ge is already a person who is difficult to defend himself, and if the prince has any arrangements, as long as he can help things, Lao Ge has no reason to disallow it." However, if this matter cannot be traced, will the old man and others stay in Bianliang City all the time? The old man is alone, and this place of peace is my hometown, and there are no taboos. However, Abbot Xuanci is responsible for Shaolin, and if he stays outside for a long time, I am afraid that Shaolin will cause riots. ”

Hearing this, the abbot of Xuanci couldn't help but nod, this is exactly what he was worried about, it didn't matter if he stayed in Bianliang City, but the dignified Shaolin abbot was put under house arrest, and if it was spread, it would hurt Shaolin's reputation in the rivers and lakes.

Zhao Ji smiled after hearing this: "Xiao Wang is not an unreasonable person, I myself hope that the two masters can stay in Bianliang City, but I don't force it at all, and this matter is completely left to the two masters to decide for themselves." If you are not willing to stay, Xiao Wang will send the two masters out of the city, and there will be no obstruction. ”

When Abbot Xuanci heard this, his mood was not a little lighter, although Zhao Ji did not force them on the surface, but it was reasonable, how could he pat his ass and leave. After pondering for a long time, he spoke: "In this case, the old man will stay in this Bianliang City and disturb the prince, I hope I will forgive me." ”

Although Monk Zhiguang's mind was confused, since Abbot Xuanci expressed his position, he naturally couldn't help but express it. And he has a ghost in his heart, and he understands that his previous tone is very suspicious, and only by staying with Abbot Xuanci can he temporarily keep peace, if he is separated, it is difficult to predict what kind of treatment he will encounter.

While saying that he would also stay, Monk Zhiguang lamented in his heart, regretting why he came to Bianliang City to throw himself into the net. Receiving the invitation of Master Guanyun, he only said that he could use this to have some friendship with Daxiangguo Temple, but he didn't expect that it was a pit dug by a prince. Unexpectedly, stepping into the mud abyss, he was really at a loss.
