Chapter 141 Assassination of Puyan
Could it be that Chu Dange also greeted the supervisor of Qin Tianjian?
This was the first thought in Yang Qi's mind.

It must be that Chu Dange and Zhao Jianzheng communicated in advance to let him recognize himself as the son of An Legong.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain clearly why he would say that he is the young master.

Compared to Yang Qi who has automatically made up a big drama, Song Dongfeng's face is full of astonishment.

What a coincidence!

Pu Yan, who was the target, turned out to be the son of An Le Gong Zhu Jingyan. Could there be a more coincidental thing in the world?

Unexpectedly, Zen Master Jiyuan, who was just a child randomly picked up on the side of the road, would have such an identity.

It's a pity that Zen Master Jiyuan has passed away, otherwise Xiao Zhongju really wanted to ask.

Both of your apprentices are the children of the royal family, so you can really be called a blessing.

Xiao Zhongju, who saw all this in his eyes, was now full of question marks.

its not right!
Pu Yan is obviously the third prince Zhu Yu, why is he now a young prince?
At the beginning, Zhu Qi gave Xiao Zhongju full authority to investigate the whereabouts of the missing third prince Zhu Yu, and asked him to focus on investigating Hanshan Temple.

Xiao Zhongju couldn't understand this at first.

But as the investigation deepened, he found something strange.

After carefully comparing the information of the personnel who sneaked into Beijing at that time, a name came into Xiao Zhongju's sight.

Hanshan Temple Jiyuan.

The monk secretly sneaked into the capital in disguise, but was still noticed.

Later, there was no record of him leaving the capital, and at that time, the young grandpa of An Le Gongfu disappeared, and the third prince died young.

So no one will notice this.

He is a Buddhist monk, no one will notice why he came to the capital.

But his intuition told Xiao Zhongju that there was a problem.

Coupled with Zhu Kai's intentional reminder, Xiao Zhongju deliberately investigated in this direction.

After that, Zen Master Jiyuan returned to Hanshan Temple to stay behind closed doors, and the military promoted another little-known captain as the guard of Black Rock City.

Xiao Zhongju turned the direction of investigation to Ji Yuan and Guo Zhun.

On the surface, the two seem to have an irreconcilable relationship.

One is a rising star in the military, and the other is an eminent Buddhist monk. No matter how you look at it, there is no intersection.

However, after careful investigation, Xiao Zhongju still found a clue.

Guo Zhun intends to inquire about Zen Master Jiyuan of Hanshan Temple, and at the same time has an unusual curiosity about the disciples in the temple.

Although he did it very secretly, Xiao Zhongju still noticed it.

Following this line, Xiao Zhongju found that Jiyuan returned to Hanshan Temple with a baby 16 years ago.

He took this baby as his first disciple and gave him the name Puyan. At the same time, he continued to recruit disciples from then on until he accepted the last closed disciple eight years ago. Since then, he has stopped accepting disciples.

Strangely, except for Pu Yan, the rest of the disciples are from the Yanzi generation.

Combined with Jiyuan's various strange behaviors, Xiao Zhongju judged: Puyan is the third prince Zhu Yu back then!
Although I don't know how Jiyuan got involved with the military, it is enough to know the news now.

Zhu Kai was very satisfied with this, and couldn't help but rely more on Xiao Zhongju, and at the same time entrusted him with the assassination of Pu Yan.

After Xiao Zhongju sent people to investigate in detail, he found that Pu Yan was highly valued by Ji Yuan, and his martial arts were also outstanding.

Jiyuan intends to send it to Nalanda Temple, where it will be guided by Buddhist monks in person.

After getting the news, Zhu Qi couldn't bear it anymore, and ordered Xiao Zhongju to send someone to assassinate Pu Yan immediately.

After hearing Zhu Qi's order, Xiao Zhongju was puzzled and asked, "Your Highness, I don't understand why you have to put him to death."

"Judging from the information we have received, Puyan has a very high level of Dharma cultivation, and he will definitely become a Buddhist great virtue in the future."

Xiao Zhongju didn't say anything about the latter, but the meaning was obvious, that is, Pu Yan would not compete with Zhu Qi for the throne, so he wouldn't risk offending the Buddhist sect to assassinate him.

"You don't understand." Zhu Qi shook his head, "If he is still alive in this world, I will definitely be trampled under his feet and unable to move. This is predestined."

"So only when he dies can I feel at ease!"

Seeing Zhu Qi's hateful expression, Xiao Zhongju no longer raised any objections, and could only follow his instructions to arrange manpower to assassinate Puyan.

Except for a very small number of Buddhist monasteries that close their doors to thank visitors due to special circumstances, all the rest open their doors to welcome pilgrims to come to burn incense and worship Buddha.

Hanshan Temple is no exception, many pilgrims come here every day, and Pu Yan, as the chief disciple of Zen Master Jiyuan, always stands in the hall to welcome them in person.

This gave Xiao Zhongju the opportunity to arrange manpower.

So on this day, a farmer in the village under the Hanshan Temple suddenly went to burn incense and worship Buddha on a rare occasion.

"Master, what are you doing here?" A village woman asked curiously when she saw her husband packing up his things.

"I want to go to Hanshan Temple to offer incense." The farmer arranged the farm tools in the courtyard without looking up, and then turned to go out.

"You never go to offer incense, why do you want to go today?" the village woman asked curiously.

"I dreamed of a Bodhisattva last night, so I want to go to Hanshan Temple today." The farmer gave a random reason, turned around and was about to leave.

"Remember to ask Buddha to bless us more!"

The farmer ignored his mother-in-law's nagging, and walked straight towards Hanshan Temple.

He kept his head down all the way, until he came to a big tree, and then stopped.

Looking around, he found that there was no one around, so the farmer sat at the root of the tree, quietly stretched his hand to a gap, and took out a porcelain bottle and a small cloth bag from it.

After shaking it gently, there was a slight sound of water in the porcelain bottle.

The farmer knew that it contained a poison that could enter the body through the skin.

And the cloth bag is the antidote.

This time he was going to poison Pu Yan, the chief disciple of Zen Master Jiyuan in Hanshan Temple, as long as he could kill him, he would be considered a great achievement.

At that time, he will have the opportunity to obtain generous rewards, thereby changing his humble background.

If he failed, then he would accept his fate. As for whether his wife would be implicated.

That was never on his mind, and he didn't think that vulgar village woman was his wife.

Marrying her is just to hide her identity and complete the task better.

The farmer put the porcelain vase and cloth bag into his arms and continued towards Hanshan Temple.

As the approach continued, the number of people on the road gradually increased. It seems that the incense in Hanshan Temple is very prosperous.

The farmer has been here many times secretly, just to find out about Pu Yan's situation, and now he has finally arranged a task for him.

Presumably after successfully poisoning Pu Yan, he will be able to leave here.

The farmer followed the crowd to Hanshan Temple, and saw that the temple was full of people, but the people lined up to offer incense and pray for blessings in an orderly manner.

There are several monks standing on the side talking with pilgrims.

The farmer saw Puyan at a glance.

There is no way, who made Pu Yan's image and appearance too outstanding, as if shining in the crowd, making people involuntarily focus on him.
