Chapter 818 Bandits
Seeing that the exams are approaching, Chen Xin is not able to fall asleep anymore. Unlike Liu Yusheng, he has a farm in his home, and he can’t pass the exams and he can’t starve to death, so although he is called a child prodigy, most of them are apprehensive about these exams. Follow the idea of ​​playing in the world, and don't force too much on yourself.

Chen Xin envied him when he was tired, but he also knew that it was because of his poverty that he was endowed with a more hard-working character, which is something that cannot be replaced by money.

There was not enough incense in Hanshan Temple, and there was a lack of candles and wax in the dormitories, so Chen Xin pushed open the window to read a book by the moonlight.But he saw a figure rushing out, walking eagerly, he could vaguely recognize the shadow of Shen Chong.

Seeing that he was heading towards the main hall, Chen Xinxin felt suspicious and followed with the book in his hand.

Chen Xin followed behind, but unexpectedly a monk stopped in front of him and said, "Where are you going, Juzi?"

Chen Xin couldn't just say that he was talking to someone, so he could only say: "Staying in the house is boring, so I want to go out for a walk."

The monk advised him: "Recently, bandits have been making a lot of trouble at the foot of the mountain. These bandits are extremely vicious. They will kill anyone they see. You should be more careful and don't go far."

Chen Xin nodded: "Thank you, Master, for reminding me."

When the monk left, Chen Xin looked around for the direction of the main hall and followed.

"Please bless the Bodhisattva, let me take office smoothly, I did not harm those people, you can find them if you want, but don't blame me for these things, I was just forced, please bless the Bodhisattva. "

Chen Xin stood in front of the door, watching Shen Chong kneeling on the futon and muttering something, not very clearly.

He stepped into the main hall and asked: "Master Shen, what is the matter, you want to come to worship Buddha late at night?"

Shocked by the voice behind him, Shen Chong threw himself on the ground, turned his head to look, and saw Chen Xin's tall figure formed a long shadow under the cover of the moonlight, completely covering his body. He was a little frightened.

"You, you are a man or a ghost."

Chen Xin thought it was funny: "I am the son of the day, have you forgotten, my lord?"

After hearing this, Shen Chong poked his head out to see Chen Xin's face clearly, and got up from the ground: "Bold, who gave you the courage to come and scare me, I'm the county magistrate, be careful with your head."

Chen Xin originally thought that he was Shen Su's son, so he left him a bit of a face, but he didn't expect him to be a magistrate and a head, which made his expression gradually cool down: "My lord, although you are a magistrate now, everything Things have to be done according to the court law, the Holy One is not allowed to execute people at will, the tone of your lord is even bigger than the sky."

Shen Chong walked to one side in a panic, looking at his figure as if he was about to run out at any time, but he said: "It's none of your business, you're just an example."

Chen Xin smiled: "Of course I'm just a mediocre child, but why do adults see me like a mouse seeing a cat."

Shen Chong looked down at his actions, and thought that he was now the magistrate of the seventh rank, raised his head and said, "Presumptuous, you are insulting the court order."

Chen Xin looked at Shen Chong, ignored him, but asked: "Master Shen, I just studied, and I saw a sentence that I didn't understand. I thought Master Shen was born as a Jinshi, so I can definitely teach you a lesson. two."

Shen Chong shook his head in a panic, but his arrogance was gone: "No, I'm tired, I'm going back to rest."

"I heard that your father is a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy. He is knowledgeable and knowledgeable. Mr. Shen must have inherited his father's demeanor, so don't refuse any more. Otherwise, if I talk about this matter with others after I enter Beijing, I am afraid that your father will be punished." laugh at."

Hearing that Chen Xin was going to Beijing, Shen Chong squeezed his cuffs tightly, the panic on his face was undisguised.Seeing that he didn't speak, Chen Xin acquiesced that he agreed, and asked him: "My lord, may I ask?" "What's the meaning of this sentence?"

Shen Chong stumblingly translated these words very reluctantly, but Chen Xin laughed: "Master Shen, I am not asking you what you mean by this sentence, but what you think. As a strategy question? Master Shen has already experienced it once, so he must know the best way to answer it."

Shen Chong was forced to turn pale, and after being stared at by Chen Xin for a while, he finally couldn't help but escaped.

Chen Xin's expression gradually became cold and stern. If Shen Chong was really Shen Su's son, he would definitely be able to handle such a simple strategy at his fingertips, and he would not be so flustered at all.

But if it wasn't for Shen Chong, then where did the letter of appointment in his hand come from.

Chen Xin walked out of the main hall and walked towards the hut, but almost bumped into Li Xiruo, he hurriedly supported Li Xiruo, and said in a reproachful tone: "There are so many gangsters down here, why are you running out in the middle of the night? "

Li Xiruo made a silent movement towards him, and pulled him to a place, Chen Xin squatted down along with her, and saw Xu Youlian and Gao Jin blatantly doing messy things in the temple.

He blushed immediately, and quickly covered Li Xiruo's eyes: "You are a girl, you are not ashamed to see this."

Li Xiruo's eyes were dark, but he turned to Chen Dao: "You are a young man and you haven't married yet. Aren't you ashamed to see this?"

Chen Xin was choked, and Li Xiruo pulled his hand off, but Xu Youlian and Gao Jin heard the movement over there, and left with a guilty conscience.

Li Xiruo turned around and looked at Chen Dao: "Compared to Shen Chong, Gao Jin and Xu Youlian are more like people who have been together for a long time. I have seen Shen Chong talking to her, always In less than two or three sentences, he blushed, and Xu Youlian looked at him like a plaything."

Chen Xin pulled her to stand up: "Well, this Xu Youlian doesn't look like a girl from a good family at all. Now, it's just more proof."

Li Xiruo looked at the backs of those two people fleeing in a hurry: "It stands to reason that Shen Chong could not have noticed that they were so blatant, but why are they so tolerant?"

Chen Xin thought for a moment: "What if Shen Chong is not the real Shen Chong?"

Li Xiruo understood, but Chen Xin said: "Okay, I'll take you back to your room."

Li Xiruo looked at Chen Xin puzzled: "Is this the case?"

"We have been delayed for a long time because of Fu Zhen along the way. Now I don't care whether it is real Shen Chong or fake Shen Chong. When we arrive in the capital, we only need to deliver a letter to Hanlin and let him verify it himself. That’s enough. The rest is not up to us.”

Li Xiruo knew that the reason why Chen Xin didn't care about this matter was because whether it was true or not, it would not be of much benefit to him, unlike the case of Fu Zhen, which could make him shine in the court. Naturally, he wouldn't bother with this matter.

Chen Xin didn't want to do it, and Li Xiruo didn't want to interfere. Everything she did was for Chen Xin, and she didn't care about other things at all.

When it was dawn, Chen Xin urged Liu Yusheng and the others to pack their luggage and get on their way as soon as possible. He had a premonition that if he didn't leave, maybe he really couldn't leave.

But when they were packed away, the abbot invited them to have a vegetarian meal. Chen Xin thought that the journey was hard and the dry food was difficult to swallow, so he planned to eat the vegetarian meal before leaving.

The little monk outside the door suddenly ran in out of breath: "Abbot, it's not good, it's not good."

The abbot shook his head, blaming the young monk for being so unsteady, the young monk calmed down and said, "The bandits are here again."

"What!" Now the abbot stood up in a panic. These bandits don't show morality, sympathy, and the court's face. It just happened to occupy a favorable terrain, which made the government unable to attack for a long time. Every time the bandits ransacked, they would come to snatch the incense in the temple.

"However, it was last night."

The abbot heaved a sigh of relief, but thinking that there was nothing unusual in Hanshan Temple last night, he asked the little monk, "How do you know they have been here?"

"The horses tethered outside the temple all had their necks cut off, and now there is blood all over the outside."

The abbot recited a sentence of Amitabha, these people are really endless murders, and they will suffer retribution sooner or later.

Chen Xin and Liu Yusheng looked at each other, and ran out quickly, hoping it wasn't their carriage, otherwise it would be troublesome.

Li Xiruo and the others also followed behind them, waiting to go out to see that Shen Chong and the others' asses were tied to the wooden post intact, and their two horses had already fallen in a pool of blood.

Liu Yusheng couldn't help scratching his head: "This mountain bandit doesn't rob houses, what is it doing to kill our horse?"

"He was demonstrating."

"What?" Liu Yusheng leaned closer to his ear, but Chen Xin turned his head away, and began to worry about the itinerary.

They had to rely on horses to get here, and it was definitely not realistic to rely on walking for the rest of the way, but if they wanted to go back to the city to buy horses, it was still a long distance, and now it was really a dilemma.

Standing beside the dead horse, Li Xiruo turned to look at Shen Chong's carriage: "We have no grievances with the robbers, why did they take our carriage instead of theirs?"

Shen Chong walked over with Xu Youlian and Gao Jin, Gao Jin laughed and said: "Of course the robbers are afraid of your prestige, so they dare not do anything."

"Our carriages are almost the same. Unless you take the initiative to tell the gangster what kind of carriage we are, there is no way for him to know."

A trace of panic flashed in Gao Jin's eyes, but he concealed it well: "You don't spout blood there, it must be because you have too little virtue in your daily life that you provoke the wrath of heaven and people."

"Aren't you afraid of retribution for what you did?"

Seeing Li Xiruo's black and white eyes staring at him, Shen Chong was a little scared, as if afraid that she would see through everything, and immediately asked Gao Jin to help him go back.

The abbot came to see Chen Xin's anxious expression, and said to him, "donor don't worry, there will be escorts coming to deliver the goods in the next two days, and you can take their carriages to Beijing."

Chen Xin heard that there was no need to go back, but he was relieved, and thanked the abbot.
