Chapter 487
The moon was dark and the wind was high, and there was a gust of gloomy wind in the small temple, and the old doors and windows creaked from time to time. Deng Wanshui sat in front of the erratic candlelight, his eyes lost in thought.

Squeak—the door behind him was slowly pushed open, and Deng Wanshui pulled out his sword tremblingly, "Who is it?!"

"Shi, benefactor! It's a young monk! The abbot asked me to bring some fast food." The little monk was taken aback by the other party's reaction, and he almost dropped the fast food he was holding in his hand.

Fortunately, Shi Suxue came forward to take the food in time: "Thank you, little master."

The little monk didn't even dare to say anything, he saluted and left immediately as if fleeing for his life, Shi Suxue sighed softly, put the food on the table, looked at Deng Wanshui and said, "Young Master Deng, don't be so nervous, the officers and soldiers are all heading towards Search west, we are safe at the moment."

"I know" Deng Wanshui tried his best to appear calm, but even Shuang'er could see that he was pretending to be calm.

The abbot of Jinshui Temple was obviously frightened in the morning, so he didn't dare to neglect this meeting. He not only prepared rooms for several people, but also offered a vegetarian meal.

"Amitabha."

The old abbot was alone in the room reciting Buddhist scriptures and knocking on the wooden fish. The young monk came in lightly: "Master, the fast food has been delivered."

Hearing this, the old abbot stopped his movements, nodded and asked, "Okay, did those people make things difficult for you?"

".No." The little monk hesitated for a moment and said, "Although that young master is a bit unreasonable, those two girls do understand the truth."

"Amitabha," the old monk recited the Buddha's gatha again, and said with worry, "I hope they don't cause trouble. Our small temple really can't stand the storm."

The master and apprentice, one big and one small, were sighing long and short, when a voice came from outside the room: "Is Master Lingyuan here?"

Hearing the strange woman's call, the little monk was taken aback: "Master, someone is looking for you."

The old abbot was also confused, he went out and saw the two girls next door came out together, Suxue said at that time: "I heard someone calling from the courtyard, come out and have a look."

In fact, Deng Wanshui was terrified by the slightest sign of trouble, so Shi Suxue and Shuang'er had no choice but to come out to check the situation in order to appease the other party.

"Amitabha, you have disturbed all the benefactors."

The old abbot saluted the two of them, then went to the outer courtyard, saw the person who came, also a girl, he couldn't help but asked curiously: "This benefactor, I don't know why?"

But Shi Suxue and Shuang'er were even more surprised, because the person who came was none other than their senior sister Pei Xia.

Pei Xia was also surprised to see the two of them. She was entrusted by Aunt Wang from Pazipu to deliver some monk clothes to Jinshui Temple. According to Aunt Wang, the incense in Jinshui Temple was deserted, and the two masters were struggling. She also came here to burn incense and pray to the Buddha, so if she wanted to send some clothes, it was considered a fulfillment of her wish.

During the day, Pei Xia used the handkerchief shop as an excuse to prevaricate Ji Qianli. To ensure that there would be no mistakes, she went to the shop again later, and happened to meet Aunt Wang entrusting her with this matter, so she came to the shop at this time. Come.

Seeing that the two junior sisters were also hiding here, she was silent for a moment, pretending that she did not know each other, handed the package in her hand to the abbot, and said, "Master Lingyuan, this is what Aunt Wang from Pazipu in Beicheng asked me to bring." Here are some clothes for everyday wear, please accept them.”

"It turned out to be a gift from the king's benefactor, and I am very grateful." The old abbot suddenly realized, and then invited Pei Xia into the temple: "The benefactor has worked hard all the way, please come in and drink some tea."

Pei Xia glanced vaguely at the two silent junior sisters beside her, shook her head and refused, and said, "Master Lingyuan's kindness is appreciated, but it's getting late and I can't stay long, so I'm leaving."

"Amitabha, benefactor, go slowly." The old abbot sent Pei Xia outside the temple, watched her leave, and then turned around and returned to the wing with the package.

Seeing this situation, Shi Suxue didn't feel anything wrong, on the contrary, Shuang'er was a little bit hard to accept that Pei Xia didn't say a word to them when they met, and pretended not to know them, which hurt her a little.

"Let's go, let's go back." Shi Suxue pulled Shuang'er back to the wing room, Deng Wanshui never let go of his sword, seeing the two returned safely, he reluctantly felt relieved.

What everyone didn't know was that at the home of Liu Laosan, where several people had been hiding in the past, there was a loud cry at the moment. The woman Liu was holding her husband's body and crying like rain, and the two ignorant children were also crying loudly.

"Ms. Liu, what a crime." The chief wanted to comfort him, but he didn't know how to say it.

At the beginning, Liu Laosan took in a group of imperial prisoners, and later because Jin Yiwei found this place, he confessed the information to protect his family. He thought this matter would end here, but who would have thought that the quack would go and come back.

In the daytime today, Deng Wanshui suddenly rushed into the home of the third son Liu, angrily scolding him for disregarding black and white, abandoning the light and turning to the dark to be the lackeys of the imperial court, and even dared to betray them.

Seeing his murderous look, Liu Laosan naturally kowtowed to make amends, saying that he still had a family to take care of, so he had to do so, and begged Deng Wanshui to forgive him this time because of his old friendship.

But Deng Wanshui refused, and brazenly drew his sword to kill him. He was still killed in front of his wife Liu Shi. Liu Shi was overly frightened and passed out.

Deng Wanshui did not attack the Liu family. After killing Liu Laosan, he ran away quietly. Later, he accidentally bumped into the two children of the Liu family. Worried about being exposed, he threw the two children into a dry well.

Therefore, when the former Liu family sheltered the criminals, other people in the village walked around them. For a while, no one knew what happened here. It wasn't until someone passed by the dry well and heard the children crying that they realized something was wrong.

Deng Wanshui acted in a panic. The two children he threw down the well, one broke his hand, the other smashed his head. When they were rescued by the villagers, they had already missed the best time for treatment, and I am afraid that they will all have sequelae in the future. .

At first, the villagers thought it was because the children were playful, but when they brought the children back to Liu's house, they found that the body of Liu Laosan was completely cold. They woke up Liu Shi, and the successive blows almost made her faint again .

After tossing for a while, Mrs. Liu finally accepted the fact that her husband was killed and her two children were also in catastrophe. Now the villagers helped to save the body of Liu Laosan, but everyone has different opinions on whether to report to the police or not. view.

One of the aunts said: "Liu family, listen to me, you man died a miserable death, but you still have a child to take care of, and everyone in the world is cruel. If you report to the official, in case he comes again, What should I do?"

The other man immediately objected: "How can my sister-in-law talk like that, did brother Liu just die for nothing!"

Although Liu Laosan was not clear about his mind and had something to do with the criminals, he grew up with them in the same village after all. Everyone was very sad that such tragedies happened to his family.

Seeing that everyone said something to each other, their attitudes were different, and the head of the village also had a difficult time. He said to Liu Shi: "Liu Shi, in this situation, you should make up your own mind. If you want to report to the police, I will go with you." Go to the yamen to explain the situation, if you don't report it, then everyone should prepare and deal with Liu Laosan's funeral first."

Mrs. Liu cried uncontrollably, but she still made up her mind: "I want to report to the officials! That man surnamed Deng is insane, even if I die, I can't make him feel better!"

"Hey, since you've decided, Mrs. Liu, let's go." The head of the village nodded and asked someone to bring the ox cart, and the group prepared to go to Beijing to report to the officials.

That night they went to the local yamen, after explaining the situation clearly, the county magistrate didn't dare to be careless, it was related to a major case committed by the imperial court, he didn't dare to be self-reliant, and immediately reported it to Shuntian Mansion.

After receiving the news, Shuntian Mansion didn't dare to act privately, after all, it was still related to Jinyiwei, so the matter was transferred to Beizhen Fusi.

Therefore, Jin Yiwei was furious. They searched along the road to the west, and they almost touched the bottom of Mount Heng. In the end, this group of people actually played tricks under the lamp and hid in the capital. kill.

Cui Yixiao immediately became angry, and immediately recalled all the brothers who had gone out, and at the same time sent a note to Shuntian Mansion to conduct a large-scale search.
