Xuanyuan Jue

Chapter 170
King Su said: "Brother Feng Wai, you heard it just now. That old Lu's words are not rough. No matter what happens, there are always those rogues full of evil. Let alone kicking them a few times, even if they leave their heads to commemorate the village." The people are just right and proper! Brother Feng Wai, my king looked at you and reacted a little strangely, could it be that you really have something to do with those rogues?"

Chuan Dao's heart trembled, "My lord's lesson! From the moment the imperial court bestowed the top-wearing flower feathers, Chuan Dao swore allegiance to the Qing Dynasty!"

King Su said: "That's very good. The ronin harmed my people in the Qing Dynasty. It can be said that there is more than one death. Why do you feel pity?"

Chuan Dao said: "They deserve what they deserved...but don't forget, my lord, Chuan Dao is also an oriental. This group of rogues did evil in the Qing Dynasty and discredited Japan. To save face, the envoys in China will definitely not send The truth is known to the public. But this matter is not small, and it will probably spread to Japan in the near future. Those who know the inside story will say that we enforce the law impartially; And you have forgotten your ancestors! My lord, if I don’t know how to advance or retreat, I am in the Qing Dynasty, and only the lord can rely on... But now I feel that you are old... You don’t need Chuan Dao anymore... If you really reach that point, Kawa Dao I had no choice but to return to the country... However, as a person who 'forgets my roots', I will be criticized by thousands of people after returning to the country...My lord, compare my heart to my heart, the reason why Kawashima didn't want to do too much...in fact, I planned to leave a way out for myself what……"

As he spoke, Kawashima burst into tears unknowingly.King Su saw that he was crying for real, how could he know that he was mourning the death of Zhu Ren?

"Alas", King Su sighed, and said, "That's right, it's not good for you to be caught in the middle... Get up, brother Fengwai, as long as you are loyal to the Qing Dynasty, this king will not treat you badly. That's fine, This king ordered the soldiers to disperse, you go collect the corpses!"

After listening to King Su's words, it's hard for a group of people to stop them.All the Japanese breathed a sigh of relief, and buried their heads in their work.

Fearing that Wu Liande would be mortally wounded after waking up, King Su arranged for soldiers to carry him down the mountain first to rest.

As soon as Wu Lien-teh was sent away, three figures came from the direction of the pagoda courtyard.Walking in the middle is an old monk, supported by soldiers on the left and right sides.The old monk limped and stumbled, his legs seemed to be disabled.

Recognizing that it was Abbot Jue Nin, Feng and Lu hurried to meet him.

"Feng Xunjian," said the accompanying soldier, "As soon as this old monk woke up, he insisted on leaving the tower. We had no choice but to bring him here."

Feng Shen said: "How about the rest of the villagers?"

The soldier replied: "There are still a few who haven't woken up, but it should be soon. That doctor surnamed Wu is really a miracle doctor!"

The speaker has no intention, but the listener has the heart.Ever since he saw the old monk, Chuan Dao's heart skipped a beat. He quickly turned his back to everyone, pretending to be indifferent, but secretly pricked up his ears and eavesdropped from a distance.When the soldiers said that all the villagers in the tower had been rescued, Kawashima was shocked.He thought that Wu Lien-teh was really good, if he didn't pay more attention in the future, it would become a serious disaster for himself.

Feng Shen helped Jue Ren over, and said to the soldiers: "Go back to the pagoda and take care of it, there is no one left."

"Yes!" The soldiers responded in unison, turned and left.

Lu Ban nodded and said with restraint: "Old monk, you managed to save your life, why don't you rest for a while?"

Jue Ren said: "The team leader still calls me the old monk...does he really not recognize me?"

Feng Shendao: "I forgot to tell my eldest brother that this Master Jue Nin is actually Chen Jinyuan, the magistrate of Pinggu County."

"Huh? He is the magistrate of Chen County?"

In the first few years when Lu Ban came to Pinggu, he had long been vague about Chen Jinyuan's appearance.Moreover, Chen Jinyuan used to be pampered and radiant, but now his cheeks are sunken and his eyes are dull.Even if Lu Bantou vaguely remembered his previous appearance, he would definitely not be connected with the lame "old monk" in front of him this time.

Seeing that Lu Ban was still in a daze, Chen Zhixian asked again: "Where is Weiye? He led you to save people, right? Why don't you see others?"

"Weiye?" Lu Ban opened his mouth even wider, "brother, do you know who he is talking about?"

Feng Shen shook his head and said, "I don't know..."

The county magistrate Chen said urgently: "He is also surnamed Chen, a nephew of my family. We are officials in the same county, and Weiye is in charge of Pinggu Dianshi... A few days ago he escaped from this temple, saying that he was going to the capital to report the case ..."

"Report to the police?" Feng Shen's heart moved, and he hurriedly asked Chen Weiye's age and appearance.

Chen Zhixian said one by one, and then Feng Lu got on the number. "It turned out to be him!"

Lu Ban sighed: "Your nephew...is dead."

Chen Zhi County has no heirs and family members in Pinggu, so he treats this nephew as his own. How can he not feel sad when he learns that he is dead? "Weiye... How did Weiye die?"

Feng Shen said a few words of relief, and then briefly explained how he found a seriously injured man in Shuntian Mansion and how everyone treated him.When mentioning the cause of the man's death, it was only said that he was seriously injured and dying.

"Ah," Chen Zhixian said, "Life and death are fate... Weiye sacrificed himself to report the letter, and saved the lives of most people in Fengluotan, which is considered a supreme merit... Where are the remaining villagers now? I saw that There are only a few people at the bottom of the tower..."

"Why, you still don't know?" Lu Ban nodded, "The survivors are those in the Tali, and the rest of the villagers have already been killed by the villains!"

"What!?" Chen Zhixian couldn't believe it, "This is impossible!"

Feng Shen raised his hand and pointed, and said sadly: "The hundreds of corpses covered with white sheets over there are the villagers who died in Fengluotan..."

When Chen Zhixian arrived here, he already found many corpses in the open space.But when he saw that Hongzhi, Sakamoto, etc. were all slaughtered, he treated the other corpses as all evil accomplices.Hearing Feng Lu tell the truth at this time, he felt his legs go limp and he staggered to the ground. "They lied to me . . . sin . . . what a sin . . . "

Seeing this, Feng Shen knew that there must be something wrong with him, so he quickly joined Lu Bantou to pick up Chen Zhixian. "Prince Su is also in the temple right now, let's meet with Chen first, and then ask him to show me."

Hearing this, the magistrate of Chen County quickly followed the two of them to stand in front of King Su, knelt down trembling, and said in a trembling voice: "Officer Chen Jinyuan...knows the prince..."

"Officer?" Seeing that it was an old monk, King Su asked puzzled, "Feng Shen, who is this?"

After Feng Shen relayed the cause and effect, King Su finally understood a little bit.

Su Wang sighed: "The villain is really lawless, even the court officials dare to detain him! Get up, Pinggu County Magistrate, and tell me the truth about what you know!"

"Yes." Chen Jinyuan stood up slowly, telling the past.

It turned out that what Hongzhi said before was not all lies, but he just avoided the most important and only confused lies when it was important.After a villager disappeared at the beginning of Fengluotan, the county government sent soldiers to search for it. However, He Hongzhi and other villains did fraud and mischief, and the county soldiers did not find any clues.

Chen Jinyuan originally worshiped the Buddha in meditation, but he thought it was a misunderstanding and felt guilty, so he came to the Moya Temple to make an apology in person.At that time, apart from Hongzhi and others, there was also a member named Zeng in the temple.

Speaking of this, Feng Shen and others guessed that the outsider must be Zeng San in disguise.Sure enough, after Chen Jinyuan described the person's appearance and stature, his heart became clear.

At that time, Chen Jinyuan didn't know that Zeng San was really the bandit leader, and Hongzhi strongly praised "Zeng Yuanwai" from the sidelines for his kindness and generosity, and was willing to donate huge funds to rebuild the temple in Moya Temple.After coming and going, Chen Jinyuan made friends with Zeng Sanhou.When he had nothing to do, Chen Jinyuan came to discuss Buddhism with Zeng San, and when he was excited, he also wrote a couplet.

Once, Chen Jinyuan brought Chen Weiye to the temple again.That day was different from the past, there were no dumb monks guarding the mountain gate, and no ignorant guests came out to welcome it.Because he was a regular visitor, Chen Jinyuan entered the temple without waiting for a report.

They went through two halls without seeing a single monk.While I was wondering, I suddenly heard human voices coming from the tower courtyard.

Chen Jinyuan was very curious about the stupa in the pagoda courtyard.The previous few times I wanted to climb the pagoda to see it, but Hongzhi evaded it with excuses.Seeing that the opportunity was ready, Chen Jinyuan walked towards the pagoda courtyard.

All the monks in the pagoda courtyard were busy shuttling back and forth, but when Er Chen came in, they were all at a loss.Chen Jinyuan was attracted by the Ksitigarbha Buddha, he just looked up and didn't care about the others.

Although Chen Jinyuan is not a monk, he has devoted himself to the study of Buddhism for decades, and he can also be called the chief of Zen scriptures.Since he is proficient in Buddhism, he can naturally see that the phase wheel on the top of the tower does not match the number of floors.Just when they were full of puzzles, Zeng San and Hong Zhi rushed from the tower.

Knowing that only Er Chen came to the temple, Zeng San and others were relieved.Chen Jinyuan was concerned about Xianglun, so he didn't think much about it at that time, he just asked Zeng Sanxiang.

Once Zeng San rolled his eyes, he said that there was another universe in the pagoda, and immediately invited the two of them to enter the pagoda to have a look.

When Er Chen heard this, he happily entered.As soon as he entered the pagoda, Chen Jinyuan felt that the atmosphere was not right. When he was about to turn around, his retreat was blocked by monks.

When Erchen was restrained, Zeng San was straightforward, saying that they pretended to be monks in order to conspire to do something in this temple.Since he was bumped into by Er Chen, he simply tore his face.

However, Chen Jinyuan is the governor of a county after all, if he does not return to the Yamen for a long time, the guards will find this Cliff Temple sooner or later.When he saw Chen Weiye again, Zeng San's heart lit up.Because of the previous encounters, Zeng San knew that Chen Jinyuan regarded this nephew as his own son, and as long as Chen Weiye's life was threatened, Chen Jinyuan would definitely submit honestly.

Considering this point, Zeng Sanyue thought more and more smoothly, and after a while, he came up with a trick that killed two birds with one stone.
