Chapter 72
Zhiyuan and Su Jizhi had already had a cup of tea when they faced each other silently.

Su Jizhi was not in a hurry.

In Hengshan Temple, he and Miao Hong only talked about the matter of praying for the Empress Dowager tomorrow, and then invited the abbot of Hengshan Temple to the Tongshan government office.

Master Yuan Zhen was stunned for a while when he received the imperial edict, and calmly agreed to the Empress Dowager's blessing.

In the prison at the moment.

Although Zhiyuan appeared calm on the surface, Su Jizhi was sure, at this point, Zhiyuan's heart must be turbulent, and he was fully aware of his situation.

So Su Jizhi stared at Zhiyuan's chubby face and chubby figure, and asked twice: "What exactly are you planning?"

Zhiyuan didn't answer.

"You are the abbot, and Hengshan Temple is also a royal temple. You are here to call the wind and rain, why do you cooperate with the prince to do such a cruel thing?"

Su Jizhi could think of that scene, nine hungry wolf dogs rushed into the crowd, biting and gnawing.

Blood splattered on the spot.

On the day the Empress Dowager prayed, people were bitten by wolf dogs, or the wolf dogs rushed into the prayer team, and the Empress Dowager and the third prince were injured.

Su Jizhi couldn't even imagine such a scene.

Zhiyuan is over 40 years old, sitting on an iron chair with Buddhist beads in his hands, with his eyes closed, he has a breeze and arrogance.

Su Jizhi sneered, "You don't think your Highness the Crown Prince will protect you, do you?"

As he said that, he pretended to take out a piece of paper from his sleeve, and said softly: "This is the emperor's shouyu. Tomorrow's prayer will be presided over by Master Yuan Zhen. When the case is clear, the crown prince will be abolished. Abbot Zhiyuan will be imprisoned in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice."

Zhiyuan opened his eyes, not quite believing it.

Su Jizhi gently folded the paper in his hand, and sneered indifferently: "There is another sentence, the emperor asked me to bring it to you. The emperor can let you sit in the position of abbot, and he can also kill you."

"The abbot is a smart man. I can't arrest you without evidence. Doesn't the abbot know that the wolf dog in the back mountain has been taken away by me?"

Zhiyuan stared closely at Su Jizhi's eyes, trying to see more things from inside.

"What doubts do you have? The crown prince is in the capital at the moment, why doesn't he stay in Tongshan mansion to watch the excitement? Could it be that the crown prince is afraid that things will fail and he will be implicated?"

Zhiyuan's chubby body moved slightly on the chair, feeling a little uncomfortable.

"Zhiyuan, why don't I tell you the whole process?"

Su Jizhi stood up, walked to the four corners of the cell and lit candles, the room was brighter, and it was burning heart-wrenchingly.

Miao Hong sat behind Zhiyuan, looking at Zhiyuan's back with disdain.

How long can such a fool last in front of Mr. Su?
"When the abbot Zhiyuan and the prince started plotting, I don't know yet, but the Empress Dowager's blessing was only decided last month. Considering that you have contacted Guo Wanfu, I think the time will be after that A few days."

Hearing Guo Wanfu's name, Zhiyuan licked his chapped lips.

"The death of Qian Xi'er has puzzled me for a long time. It took me some time to connect Guo Wanfu's disappearance with Abbot Zhiyuan."

Zhiyuan pretended to close his eyes, his trembling eyelashes revealed his panic.

Su Jizhi and Miao Hong looked at each other, and the corners of their mouths mocked lightly.

"Guo Wanfu is currently in the prison cell. He is the most innocent person in this case."

Su Jizhi slowly picked up a candle lamp and walked to Zhiyuan's side, the beating firelight reflected on Zhiyuan's face, and the muscles at the corners of his mouth were trembling.

"Zhiyuan, your thugs are next door, they haven't recruited yet, it's because they believe that the prince can do something, if the Japanese officials tell them tomorrow that nothing happened, the prince is no longer the prince, what do you think will happen to them? "

A drop of wax dripped on Zhiyuan's arm, he jumped lightly and hissed.

There was a large red spot on the arm in an instant, but Su Ji's hand did not move, and the second drop of wax oil dripped down...

Zhiyuan raised his eyes; "Su Jizhi, what are you doing?"

Under the candlelight, Su Jizhi was exuding ruthlessness: "You don't know that this official is nicknamed ghost evil star in the capital? Zhiyuan, if this official really wants to ask something from you, it is not an understatement like this. "

Su Jizhi poured the candle liquid, and the wax oil fell like rain in an instant.

Zhiyuan shouted loudly: "You know everything, what else do you want me to say?"

"So you admit it?"

Su Jizhi curled his lips, "I thought Abbot Zhiyuan was such an arrogant person, why did he recruit him all at once? It's boring."

Su Jizhi returned to his seat and winked at Miao Hong.

Miao Hong was extremely impressed.

Speaking of interrogation, there was no one Su Jizhi couldn't deal with.

Zhiyuan looked at the flushed arm, the wax oil gathered on it, the arm was flushed layer by layer, and the corner of his mouth twitched in pain.

"Yes, these are planned by the crown prince. I also let people catch the dogs. The plan is to release the nine dogs when the empress dowager prays tomorrow. How do you know that there are so many troubles in the middle?"

"You call Qian Xi'er's innocent tragic death a trouble? Guo Wanfu's family lives in peace, but you threw him into the Canglan River. Do you call this a trouble?"

"They are just ants, and all living beings are the same." Zhiyuan was a little disdainful.

Su Jizhi smiled: "That's fine, you Zhiyuan is just an ant in my eyes. After tomorrow's incident, I will report to the emperor. Zhiyuan, I'm afraid you will be an ant once again. Look at the prince." How to trample you to death."

Zhiyuan lowered his eyes, with panic in his eyes.

"Who else is involved in this matter? Grand Master Li?"

Zhiyuan still wanted to struggle, Su Jizhi sneered: "At this point, who else do you want to protect?"

Zhi Yuan's heart beat, and he said loudly: "Yes, the whole thing was planned by Grand Master Li. I don't know the specific reason. I only know that the grand master and the prince are very dissatisfied with the emperor, and it seems that they are also dissatisfied with the empress dowager."

"The prince has long been cultivating his own influence. Although the prince is a prince, he has no real power. The emperor is very wary of the prince. The prince has long said that the emperor has already given birth to the idea of ​​abolishing the prince."

"So you want the prince to ascend the throne early?" Su Jizhi couldn't understand.

"No, this time the third prince is leading the team. The emperor always compares the third prince with the crown prince. This matter is a big deal, and the rumors are very beneficial to the crown prince."

"What rumor?"

"Once the empress dowager encounters riots while praying for blessings, the third prince is not afraid in the face of danger. It's good that he has done a good job in rescuing him. If it's not good, the people and the emperor will think he is an unknown person."

"It's really a good plan." Su Jizhi's eyes were full of disdain, and suddenly he thought of something: "The rumors about Niuzhuang, such as crying in the well, and the evil wind in the ruined temple, are you from Hengshan Temple?"

Zhiyuan lowered his head and admitted for a while: "Those rumors are not harmful to people, I just want more people to spend some incense money."

"Pursuing all sentient beings and blessing the common people, are they all deceptive tricks?"

Zhiyuan didn't want to admit it, so she stopped talking.

"Miao Tutou, let Zhiyuan sign these words and post them at the city gate tomorrow. What kind of eminent monk has such an ugly face."

Zhiyuan looked up at Su Jizhi, the dancing candlelight reflected on his face, his whole body was solemn.

This kind of Tongshan Mansion Yin Su Jizhi is not afraid of the sky and the earth, and does not respect the ghosts and gods and is not afraid of Yan Luo. Only such a person can truly stand between heaven and earth.

Zhiyuan slowly closed his eyes...
