The Republic of China Conspiracy Records

Chapter 104 The Ugly Slave (13)

I came out of the town office and was about to go back to Ji's house, but after walking a few steps, I saw another person coming towards me, who was the abbot monk of Yunmen Temple.I was startled when I saw him, and then I remembered that when we got to the grass troupe, we forgot him in the troupe because we went after Mama Yu and the actor.

The old monk swayed and swayed three times as he walked, looking like a tumbler, but he had a joyful expression on his face, which made people wonder who he was going to save to the west.I went up to meet him and asked, "Is this going back to the monastery after listening to the play?"

"I've finished listening to the play, but I don't want to go back to the temple, but I want to stay and watch the fun." The abbot and monk said with a smile, and he didn't know why he was so happy. "Just now I saw the mayor took people to Xin's house. Here, he Going to arrest people!"

I couldn't laugh or cry at once, I thought that this old monk should have seen through the world of mortals long ago, but I didn't think he not only likes to listen to operas, but also watching the excitement is not a big deal.

"Are you going to help the Xin's family? Here, don't worry about me, I'm slow, I just walk slowly." The old monk was still very reasonable, "You go first, do you know where the Xin's family is going? "

I stood where I was and thought about it seriously. Is he having fun with the people?Seeing that I was standing still, the old monk came to urge me, "Go quickly, if you are late, you will run away."

In order to be able to see the excitement, he really broke his heart.I told him: "The mayor has brought his people, so I don't need me. I'm a patrol horse, not a member of the town hall."

The old monk said "Oh" and became more enthusiastic. He took my hand and said, "Well, then they may not let you watch the fun. But it doesn't matter. Here, you go with me. They know the old monk. Monk."

I thought to myself that this virtuous and eminent monk really benefited all living beings, so don't fall down just to watch the excitement later, it would be bad if you went directly to see the Buddha.Thinking of this, he hesitated for a while, and went forward to support him, thinking that since he was going to Xin's house, he should be sent there.

The old monk was also very pleased to see me going with him, and patted the back of my hand as a sign of encouragement.I supported him tremblingly and walked all the way to Xin's house, but as soon as I reached the door of Xin's house, I saw a person running out of the door, almost knocking the old monk into the sky.

With sharp eyes and quick hands, I hurriedly stabilized my foot and gently moved him to the side, only then would I avoid that person.The man almost bumped into someone, but hurried away without looking.I met him face to face, and immediately recognized him as the actor, his clothes were messed up, he must have had a conflict with Ji Youjie and others inside, and escaped from Xin's house.

If I hadn't supported the old monk, I could have just grabbed him, but now I can only watch him go.Ji Youjie led Xiangyong and rushed out of Xin's house quickly, and was quite surprised to see me at the door, so I hurriedly pointed in the direction where the actor was fleeing, telling them to chase after him.

Ji Youjie nodded hastily towards us, and led his men to chase after us.I breathed a sigh of relief when I saw this. Fortunately, they were in a hurry to chase people and didn't ask us why we came. Otherwise, if I explained that we came in a group to watch the fun, I might die under their eyes.

The old monk was almost bumped into the nose just now, and seeing them chasing each other was very lively, he was so amazed that he couldn't keep up quickly because he hated his weak legs and feet.However, he saw that the direction the actor was running to was the place temporarily rented by the Grass Stage troupe, so he urged me to follow quickly.

I have traveled all these years, and I have never encountered such a thing.This old living Buddha monk strutted his old legs and ran here and there, but it was neither for preaching the Dharma nor for alms, but for watching the fun with perseverance.But it's all here, and I have to send him to the theater after sending the Buddha to the West.

Hurrying all the way, almost sent the old monk to the west, and then arrived at the house where the Caotai team was located.The inside has become a mess, the opera in the courtyard can't be sung naturally, and the villagers who listened to the opera have also been driven out.The people in the troupe guarded the actor behind them, and they were all asking why the mayor wanted to arrest him, and could it be that he wanted to bully them outsiders.

We just took Mama Yu away in the theater before, so the people in the team didn't know that the town hall was also arresting the actor.They probably didn't know that the actor had killed Xin Ruyi, they only knew that the locals were bullying him to humiliate the actor, so they all united to protect the brothers in the class.

In some places, bullying does happen, so it is very important to form a party to protect yourself when you are in the rivers and lakes.I originally thought that this grass-roots team has people from all walks of life, but it's just a mess. Now seeing that they can really unite with the outside world, I can't help but look at them with admiration.

Ji Youjie was getting old, he was out of breath from the chase just now, he couldn't even speak at this moment, he just waved his hand to signal the villagers to go forward and take the actor away.Seeing that they were going to arrest people without any explanation, the members of the troupe yelled to stop them, and immediately shoved and shoved with the villagers.

Naturally, there are not too many Xiangyong in a town, but six or seven people are equal to the number of opera troupes, so the two sides are evenly matched, and they fight hard.I hastily pulled the old monk to the side, and after Ji Youjie regained his breath, he was also dumbfounded to see them fighting with Xiangyong.

"You openly resist the law, even if Meihua Town can't catch you, as long as I report the matter to the county, the county will immediately dispatch the garrison, and you have nowhere to escape." Ji Youjie persuaded, "At that time, the whole class Everyone has to be implicated, so why bother?"

"Since we came to Guibao Land, we have always kept our law and order and kept ourselves safe, but somehow we have offended the mayor and are going to accuse us?" a five- to sixty-year-old man protested, probably the troupe leader.

"This is probably the head of the class." Ji Youjie cupped his hands at him, "It doesn't matter if you offend me, but this little gentleman in your class killed someone. It's a serious case of human life, so I can't help but not arrest him, please The class leader advises everyone to stop, don't make the matter come to a bad end."

"You said that An Qi'er killed someone?" The class leader said angrily, "He is the most timid by nature. He has always been ridiculed by his brothers. How could he kill someone? Could it be that the mayor saw that we are foreigners and have an unbreakable life? The lawsuit will take him to blame!"

His words fell to the ground, and the rest of the class echoed one after another, accusing the town office of wanting to frame and pervert the law, and the crowd was excited.Seeing that the situation is not good, Ji Youjie thought that they were trying to protect An Qier because of the large number of people, so he was about to pull his face away and let the townspeople arrest her.

At this time, I hurriedly said: "Wait a minute. Maybe the class leader didn't know that An Qi'er really killed someone, so please ask the mayor to explain the whole story, so as not to cause misunderstanding."

When Ji Youjie heard the same thing, he told the story from beginning to end. It was An Qier who accompanied Xin Ruyi to Yunmen Temple at that time, and he was the only one who had the chance to kill Xin Ruyi.What's more, after that, he came up with the idea of ​​creating the illusion of Mount Meru Temple, trying to induce the town hall, trying to make people believe that Xin Ruyi disappeared with Mount Meru Temple, so as to cover up the truth.

The class leader listened to him quietly, then turned around and frowned at An Qier: "Is everything the mayor said true?"

An Qi'er was frightened and shook her head desperately.The class master saw that he was really frightened, and said kindly: "You entered my class at the age of five, and you have studied opera for 15 years. It's time to show off your skills, but you want to be a son-in-law. I was very angry about this. , but since you made your own choice, I will go with you, as long as I have never accepted you as a disciple. But..." His tone became more serious, and his expression became sharper, "Since you come from my sect, you are required to obey me when you are a teacher. Don't forget the teacher's training that you remember."

"Master's admonition, An Qi'er has never forgotten, nor dare to forget." An Qi'er tried not to cry.He has a handsome appearance, probably he has always sang female roles, and men suffer more when singing female roles than other opera singers.He is obviously a man, but his words and deeds have to be compared with women, so his behavior is somewhat feminine, and his temperament is often relatively weak.

At this time, his expression that was about to cry was actually a bit charming.When I saw this, I couldn't help feeling a little bit emotional. Such a person would actually kill someone. It can be seen that even human nature can be distorted by desire. He is really another ugly slave of desire.

"Okay then," said the head teacher, "tell me now, what is teacher training?"

"Master admonishes disciples, singing opera is like being a human being, you must hold yourself upright, and you must also behave in a certain way."

"Then you answer me now, did you kill the master of the Xin family?" the class leader asked sharply.

An Qi'er fell to her knees with a thud, and said desolately: "I entered the master's school when I was five years old. The master asked me to sing the Danjiao. To keep my figure, I was only allowed to eat [-]% of my meal. The world has been hard all these years, and the practice has been hard. I was running around and toiling again, I was afraid of suffering, and I was also afraid of hunger. So the master of the Xin family recruited me to marry. His girl is not good-looking, but I am still tempted, so that I don’t have to rush on the road forever and have a full meal. .”

What he said was miserable, and we all felt uncomfortable hearing it. People who have not experienced it themselves probably cannot imagine what it feels like to be a person who has not had a full meal since he was a child.The difficulty of the world can be seen from this.

The class leader couldn't help but burst into tears when he heard this, but he gritted his teeth and slapped An Qi'er on the face, and shouted: "You are confused, An Qi'er, don't tell me you haven't understood it all these years, and you are not allowed to eat enough, is it right?" Is it for you to have a bite to eat? If you are allowed to let go of eating and your body deforms, can you still go up on the stage? You have no skills other than singing, so if you can’t get on stage, are you waiting to starve to death!”

How ironic it is to never have enough to eat in order to have a bite to eat.In order to avoid this fate, An Qier willingly joined Xin's family. If he is really satisfied with this, who can blame him, who can bear to blame him?But he shouldn't be lacking in heart, and killed Xin Ruyi just to have a full meal.

An Qier finally cried out, and kowtowed repeatedly on the ground: "An Qier understands Master's painstaking efforts, but An Qier is worthless, can't bear this hardship, let down the master and all the brothers, and has evil thoughts in her heart. I finally hurt myself."

"Are you admitting to killing someone?" the class leader said angrily, raising his hand to hit him in the face again.Unexpectedly, An Qi'er raised her face, closed her eyes and said, "An Qi'er has studied art for many years, but she wants to give up all her kung fu, so the master's slap should be slapped, and An Qi'er should also be slapped. But, An Qi'er No killing."

We listened to what he said before, and it almost admitted that he had killed someone, but he changed the subject in the next sentence and denied it again.The class leader put his hand down after hearing the words, and confirmed: "You really didn't kill the master of the Xin family?"

An Qier nodded affirmatively.

"Then what's going on with what the mayor said? According to what he said, only you have the chance to kill someone." The class leader glanced at Ji Youjie, "Could it be that what they said is not true and they want to plant it on you?"

An Qier wept and said: "The things they said, except for slandering me for murder, are all true."

"Since you admit that what I said is true, you were the only one who had the chance to kill someone, so why did the town hall slander you?" Seeing that he was still making excuses, Ji Youjie couldn't help being a little annoyed.

"At that time, the master of the Xin family said that he had done something wrong back then, and now he wanted to pay with his life. Because I was about to marry Miss Xin's family, he asked me to accompany their father and daughter to Yunmen Temple." An Qier said "I waited outside the temple with Miss Xin's family. After a while, the abbot monk of Yunmen Temple came to ask me to go in and pick him up. After I went in, I found that the master of the Xin family was dead on the ground, so I carried him on his back." out."

"But the monk abbot had persuaded Xin Shouyi at that time, so Xin Ruyi didn't die at the hands of Xin Shouyi. The monk abbot can confront him here. Dare I ask the monk abbot, is that so?" Ji Youjie turned to the old man monk.

The old monk had already found a place to sit down, and nodded when he saw Ji Youjie's question.

"In this case, how do you explain Xin Ruyi's death?" Ji Youjie asked forcefully.

"I didn't know what was going on at first, but when I got back, I gave advice to Miss Xin's family. I wanted to help her realize Master Xin's idea and let him 'return' to Mount Sumeru Temple." An Qier said with a bitter smile, "But I understand it all now."

He said, pointing to Ji Youjie, the abbot monk, and me who were present, and said word by word, "All this is a trap set up by their conspiracy, including the Xin family, they all want to harm me!"
