The Reborn Wife Returns

Chapter 74 Breaking the game, the first female benefactor (2)
Xiao Zhengsheng was dumbfounded, and then he was furious. "Crack!" With a slap, he slapped his palm on the small table, and said in a cold tone: "This kind of unfilial and unkind person, how can my cousin not let her go?" He is the old lady's nephew, how could he become an outsider?She actually wanted to steal his money away!

He cares more about the money that 'belongs' to him than the old lady suffers!
"The young master was fascinated by the young mistress, and he couldn't tell the good from the bad. He ignored the old lady and let the young mistress persecute her. The poor old lady is not sober, maybe after a few days, she will be lured by the young mistress." Coaxed and handed over the money." Yinshuang took advantage of Xiao Zhengsheng's weakness.

Xiao Zhengsheng's face was ashen, this poisonous woman deserves to die!
"I see, I'm going to talk to that poisonous woman!" Xiao Zheng was trembling with anger, and immediately asked the coachman to speed up and go to the temple.

When I arrived at the temple, I heard the pilgrims gathered together to talk about the fundraising event, so I thought about it, and suddenly changed my mind and went to the Hall of Merit.

It was noon at this moment, all the pilgrims were eating their fast, and the Hall of Merit was unguarded.Xiao Zhengsheng wandered around inside for a few times and sent his followers away. "You stay outside and I'll go to worship the Bodhisattva."

After Xiao Zhengsheng went in for a stick of incense, the little novice came in to do his homework. Xiao Zhengsheng was so frightened that he hid under the altar covered with a yellow cloth. Hearing the sound of wooden fish outside, he cursed: "Old bald donkey."

After waiting, he accidentally fell asleep.

When he woke up, Xiao Zhengsheng lifted the yellow cover, and saw that the sky was dark, and the man in black robe left the Hall of Merit and Virtue with his hands behind his back.

Xiao Zhengsheng was agitated, isn't that the son of the Marquis of Changning?

He hurriedly crawled out, moved his paralyzed feet, and quickly caught up with Bo Lixi who had gone far away. "My lord, my lord!" Xiao Zhengsheng shouted loudly, "My lord, wait for the little one."

Hearing the shouting, Bo Lixi looked back at Xiao Zhengsheng, his eyes passed him, and he passed through the Hall of Merit and Virtue in the distance: "You have been in the Hall of Merit and Virtue before?"

Xiao Zhengsheng greeted him with a smiling face, and flatteringly said: "Laughing and listening to homework, I fell asleep, and when I woke up, I saw Shi Ziye. I didn't think it was fate, so I chased after him." After a pause, Xiao Zhengsheng asked tentatively : "Master, is there anyone in Yanbei Yanchi?"

A sneer flashed in Bao Lixi's eyes: Life is not enough to swallow an elephant, Yanbei Yanchi, can swallow it with a family that has been promoted for less than 20 years and then began to decline again?
"Never..."

"The young one just happened to be a salt merchant with friends these years, and has some experience and contacts. What do you think of the young one, my lord?"

"Bidding in Yanchi, I hope you get what you want." Bo Lixi's voice was cold and indifferent, King Huai's chicken dog, he didn't take it seriously.

The smile on Xiao Zhengsheng's face froze, which meant he disagreed.Looking at Bao Lixi, who looked up and down with a haughty expression, he felt quite aloof.

Without waiting for him to continue lobbying, he saw the pilgrims who had been waiting outside the hall one after another, rushing in.From a distance, someone said: "It's terrible, the abbot has been murdered!"

"Isn't it? I don't know how deep a hatred is to be able to do this."

Bo Lixi's eyes flickered slightly, and he strode towards the Hall of Merit.

Xiao Zhengsheng's scalp was numb, and he followed closely to find out.

Master Zhikong has a very high reputation in Yanbei, and he is the younger brother of Zhizhen Guoshi, and is highly respected by the people and high officials.People who ask him to recite scriptures every day are like crucian carp crossing a river.

Gong Qinglan was praying for the charity fundraiser, so she made an exception to receive her first, while the rest of the pilgrims waited outside the hall.

When the little monk shouted, the pilgrims rushed into the hall in an instant.Looking at Master Zhikong who fell on the ground, his eyes were wide open, a dagger was stuck in his chest, and his cassock was stained with blood.

Outrageous!
"Abbot—" the little novice knelt on the ground, hugged Master Zhikong and cried loudly. "You have a compassionate heart, but you were brutally murdered, and you can't rest in peace even if you die."

"You poisonous woman, how dare you kill the abbot!" In the crowd, a woman accused Gong Qinglan and said angrily, "You should be burned at the stake and ask this wicked woman to pay for the abbot's life!"

"Yes! Lose my life!"

"Fire torture made it easier for her, and killed our Abbot Zhikong, it's time to parade in the streets!"

"Smash her to death! Smash her to death!"

The sound of cursing and cursing one after another is endless.

A pilgrim smashed Gong Qinglan's forehead with a pair of candles, and cursed: "Smash this temptress to death, so vicious, I should dig out your heart and lungs to see if it is blackened and stinky!"

As soon as she started, the pilgrims took out the offerings of incense candles in the basket and threw them at Gong Qinglan.

Gong Qinglan was still in that shock, and didn't come back to her senses until her shoulder blades ached.Hearing the unbearable scolding, Gong Qinglan said with a pale face: "This dagger was shot down from the beam. How can I, a woman and child with no power to restrain the master, kill the master? You respect and believe in the master, it must be Hope to catch the real murderer!"

The movements in everyone's hands paused, thinking about the credibility of her words.Suddenly, someone muttered in a low voice, the volume was not too loud, but it was enough for the people in the hall to hear clearly: "Gongde Hall, when the master is practicing, even the little master has to wait outside the hall. Except for the pilgrims, there are no other idle people. .If the master was not killed by you, who was it?"

The crowd booed again, and Gong Qinglan pretended to be calm, watching the respected Zhikong die in front of her eyes, and was greatly shocked.Thin palms were sweating, and he looked at the pilgrims coldly: "I have no grievances with the master, why should he be put to death? What I saw with my own eyes may not be true, let alone just a false appearance! The government needs evidence to judge the case. You can't just wrong people. If you can't believe me, you can ask Wu to do an autopsy!"

"You are so vicious, you killed the master, and even destroyed the master's body!"

"Don't you want the murderer to go unpunished?" Gong Qinglan said coldly, "This matter should be reported to Master Jiansi, and a thorough investigation will be made!"

The little novice's eyes were red and swollen, and his eyes were full of grief. He pointed at Gong Qinglan, and said with envy: "You still have to argue! I saw you stab the dagger into the abbot's chest with my own eyes! If you are as eloquent as you are, the master of the temple will definitely not take it easy. Forgive you, I will definitely ask you to pay for your life." The little novice was confused and couldn't choose what to say.

Gong Qinglan knew that no one would listen to her explanation, when a silver light flashed, she subconsciously reached out to push the abbot away, but it was too late.The little novice came in, just in time to see her withdrawing her hand.

"If I want to kill the abbot, I won't do it under the watchful eyes of everyone. The little master has repeatedly obstructed it. Could it be that the abbot's death is really strange?" Gong Qinglan sneered: "I didn't know that a merciful master would do this." Unreasonable, disregarding human life!"

The little novice held his breath in his heart, his face turned blue, and suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he shouted loudly: "Master, you are here, this benefactor killed Abbot Zhikong, you must give the abbot justice."
