Prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 123 Group Hypnosis

Ye Chen's iron arrows have all been shot just now. This arrow is made of an ordinary arrowhead with a bamboo pole and an iron head. And at the moment when the bow fell, most of the bow string has fallen back, so the force is very small.The most important thing is that he chose an ingenious angle, just enough to shoot through Dou Shihai's official hat and take away without hurting Dou Shihai.

At this time, Dou Shihai's face was already pale, and his forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat.At that moment just now, he thought he was going to die.The catchers and government soldiers around him immediately protected him firmly, and the weapons in their hands were unsheathed, ready to fight and fight.And Ye Chen's eleven guards saw that his lord made a move, and the arrows in their hands had already been raised, aiming at the people in the courtyard, and they would shoot the arrows without hesitation when Ye Chen gave an order.

"Oh! I'm sorry, Lord Dou! I missed the bow in Benbo's hand just now and frightened Lord Dou. Please forgive me." Ye Chen handed the bow in his hand to Xu Fangyi next to him, and said embarrassedly.

Dou Shihai is worthy of being the magistrate of a state. He took a deep breath, and gradually returned to normal, even without a trace of embarrassment on his face, he said: "Your Excellency calls yourself Ben... May I ask who you are. If you don't explain your identity, don't blame me for ordering you Arrested and brought to justice."

Ye Chen smiled slightly, cupped his fists slightly towards Dou Shihai, and said, "I've met Mr. Dou, Ye Chen."

Dou Shihai's body trembled suddenly, his face was startled, and he lost his voice and said: "Your Excellency is...Xiang Fubo. Your servant Dou Shihai pays his respects to the Lord."

Ye Chen sighed in his heart that the acting skills in front of him had already reached the level of a movie king. If it weren't for him before he came to Sizhou, Li Junhao and Yu Daoxiang's people would have found out that the prefect of Sizhou colluded with the local grain gentry to hoard grain privately.It is really possible to be deceived by it.

At this time, Li Junhao and Xu Fangyi had already jumped off the roof, and intentionally or unintentionally sat at the door of the house where the cellar was located.And Zhang Junyang also came out of the cellar. There were still five witnesses in the cellar who were tied up and gagged.

"I really didn't expect that after the assassination in the Siyuan Inn in Sizhou City yesterday, Sir Sir, he would meet the villain again in this Puzhaowang Temple today. It's a blessing. This is the dereliction of duty of the subordinate." Saying this, Dou Shihai was deeply moved. Bending down, bowed down to Ye Chen again, his face was full of shame.

Dou Shihai's attitude was very low. As a member of his party, although his rank was lower than Ye Chen's, but being able to do this was enough to show that he was able to bend and stretch.This is extremely rare for the literati and officials who value the most character and face.

"Humph! It really is a guilty conscience!" Ye Chen murmured to himself, but he said: "Why did Master Dou say that? He came down to Sizhou to lure these thieves here, so as to cause trouble for the magistrate." yes."

Hearing this, Dou Shihai couldn't help but feel relieved, thinking that as long as he regards these dead Thirteen Yamas as the accomplices of the gang of thieves who have always been unfavorable to him.It's just that Ye Chen's arrow just missed?

Dou Shihai's heart sank again, but his face was already full of righteous indignation, he shouted to the left and right: "Come on, search the house and see if there are any thieves hiding."

The left and right arresters and the government soldiers promised to disperse.Ye Chen snorted coldly in his heart, and said: "Wait a minute! Benbo's family is in this house, but it is inconvenient for outsiders to enter. In addition, except for the thieves who escaped, all the thieves here have been killed by Benbo. There are no more thieves here."

While Ye Chen was talking, he glanced at the house that Li Siyan had entered before, and when his words fell, Dou Shihai looked in disbelief, and just as he was about to say something, Li Siyan's voice came from the house: "My lord! Which adult is coming outside, the concubine was frightened just now, so it is inconvenient to see guests."

Dou Shihai's face suddenly showed embarrassment, and he ordered the arresters and the soldiers to stop.

Ye Chen felt ashamed at this time, and invited Dou Shihai to sit on the stone bench next to the stone table in the small courtyard, sat down himself, and said, "Your Majesty Dou may also have heard about it. A group of thieves followed him, and tried to harm Benbo several times, but they have not been caught so far. But I didn’t expect that this group of thieves would follow all the way to Sizhou, and they would go against Benbo one after another.”

Ye Chen ignored the eagerness and gloomy look in Dou Shihai's eyes, and continued: "Lord Dou doesn't know something! I heard last night that Puzhaowang Temple is one of the five famous temples in the Song Dynasty, so I brought people here today. Because it has been There are villains who are not good for Benbo, so whenever Benbo goes to a place, he will ask the guards to carefully check the surrounding environment to prevent thieves from lurking. Unexpectedly, when the guards checked this yard, they encountered several villains, and they said nothing , When he saw Benbo’s guards, he killed them. Fortunately, Benbo’s guards were not weak, and in turn killed all the thieves. Benbo felt that something was wrong, so he brought people here himself. As a result, just after arriving, there were thirteen more The thieves appeared, so Benbo led the people to fight until just now, before Master Dou appeared, and then he killed them."

Dou Shihai looked terrified, and said: "It's really a blessing, otherwise, if something happened to the Sir in Sizhou, how would the next official explain to the Holy One?"

Saying this, Dou Shihai thought to himself, is it really a coincidence?Ye Chen and the others haven't discovered the existence of the cellar yet?Didn't find the grain in the cellar?
"Since the lord's identity has been exposed, I'm afraid there will be thieves coming, so I implore the lord to leave Puzhaowang Temple immediately and return to Sizhou City to stay for a while. safety." Dou Shihai said tentatively.

Ye Chen pondered for a while, and said seriously: "Lord Dou is right. After the four guards that Ben Bo just chased after the thief came back, Ben Bo and Master Dou will go to Sizhou to live for a while."

Speaking of this, Ye Chen suddenly glanced at the wing room where Li Siyan was, deliberately lowered his voice, his eyes lit up, and said with a look of embarrassment: "Master Dou, I heard that there are beauties in Jianghuai, and all the beauties in Jianghuai come from Sizhou. Ah! Hahaha... No matter what you do when you arrive in Sizhou, you have to enjoy the gentle taste of Sizhou beauties, it will be a worthwhile trip!"

When Dou Shihai heard the last sentence, he quickly glanced over Ye Chen's guards in the courtyard, and found that the number was exactly four less than what he heard from Wu Gang, and there were no guards among the corpses. He wondered if he was really chasing the enemy. went.Immediately after Ye Chen's behavior, he felt a little relieved, followed Ye Chen's topic, and also deliberately lowered his voice, and said with a smile: "Since the Sir has such a taste, the next official will naturally arrange for the most beautiful and most beautiful girl in Sizhou. The gentle and charming woman will take good care of the lord. When the lord leaves Sizhou, I will send another pair of beauties to the lord. Guaranteed to satisfy the lord."

Speaking of this, Dou Shihai suddenly remembered the two romantic affairs that had been widely circulated in the capital that he had heard about Ye Chen before.First, she ransomed Queen Pipa, one of Kaifeng's three great oirans, and took her as a concubine. Two days later, she stripped off the son of Yushi Wang Yuefeng in the Jiaofang Division for the right to rape the daughter of a criminal. On the street, the censor's son committed suicide that night.

From this point of view, this person is really romantic and very feminine.I didn't see that I went south to Jianghuai to do business, and even brought my family members with me, oh!This family member should be the famous Pipa Queen.

Dou Shihai had a lot of thoughts in his mind, and unconsciously believed that it was a coincidence that Ye Chen appeared here.Since you have to wait for your subordinates to come back, then wait a while!

"The thief who escaped has been injured. After Benbo's four guards capture the thief, Benbo will face-to-face with this group of people and ask the person behind the scenes." Ye Chen said fiercely.

Dou Shihai breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that no matter whether the thief can be caught or not, we will see the outcome before dark, and he will always leave here at that time.And before that, I wasted here, always with Ye Chen.Also, no matter how time consuming, I still have to have dinner, and I have to go back to the city to rest at night!
Thinking of this, Dou Shihai remained calm, and said: "This group of thieves really deserve to die."

Puzhaowang Temple, lecture hall.

Yu Daoxiang, who was hiding on the big tree outside the hall, had been observing the hanging order monk for a long time. Although she suspected that it was the Xiaoming King Shangguan Bingyun taught by Maitreya, the scene in front of her was becoming more and more incomprehensible to her. , the monk in front of him is really just talking about the essentials of the Buddhist scriptures.Although the expressions and behaviors of the hundreds of monks listening to the lecture became more and more unified, to the point that their facial expressions were very similar at the same moment.

If Ye Chen were here, seeing the scene in front of him, and carefully observing the almost identical expressions and behaviors of the hundreds of monks, he might be surprised instead, because the scene in front of him is too similar to the collective hypnotism in future science fiction suspense movies.The hundreds of monks of Puzhaowang Temple in front of them seemed to be hypnotized collectively.

Hu Zhengyi's arrival came sooner than Ye Chen expected.

Dou Shihai, prefect of Sizhou's face changed, and his uneasiness became more and more intense when he saw an official in a green robe and official uniform arriving suddenly with more than 20 Kaifeng policemen and more than 100 imperial guards.

Dou Shihai suppressed the uneasiness in his heart, took the initiative to go forward and reported his family name, met Hu Zhengyi, and was about to ask Hu Zhengyi's reason for coming.Unexpectedly, Ye Chen rushed to the front and said: "Master Hu, these thieves are all in the same group as the thieves who assassinated my subordinates in the capital, and now they are handed over to your Kaifeng mansion. I hope you can find the thieves who want to do harm to you as soon as possible."

Ye Chen spoke very sincerely, and Hu Zhengyi accepted it very solemnly, he said: "My lord, don't worry, I will definitely do a good job in this matter, and give you an explanation."

Dou Shihai became more and more puzzled after listening, these thieves?Didn't Ye Chen say that all the people were killed? He also secretly indicated to his people that they had seen that there were no prisoners in this small courtyard.Not even in the wing room where Ye Chen's family lived.unless……
