Chapter 11

"Good old monk."

Mrs. Wu couldn't argue with the abbot, and jumped angrily: "I'm so anxious that I will pull out all your vegetables."

The abbot recited the Buddha's name: "The benefactor is not that kind of person, but he is reluctant to spoil things like this. If the benefactor is really willing, Lao Na will have nothing to say."

It was obvious that the old monk was convinced of Mrs. Wu, and Mrs. Wu's face turned red when he was angry: "Okay, okay, if you have any vegetables that you don't know how to grow, don't ask me again."

"Benefactor Wu is too narrow-minded. This is not a good thing. If you are too angry, you will hurt your body. Don't be angry, don't be angry." The abbot said a word indifferently, and the angry Wu family wanted to roll up his sleeves and beat someone.

Ji Songxian covered his face, feeling really ashamed, and afraid that Mrs. Wu would really go to beat the abbot, so he could only drag her along: "Mother, let's go look elsewhere. I heard that the scenery of Lingyin Temple is very beautiful. It's not as good as ours." Go around, walk around for a while, you will definitely be hungry, and you can eat more vegetarian meals when you are hungry, we can’t do the rest, it’s still okay to eat Qionglingyin Temple.”

Mrs. Wu was overjoyed when she heard that, she glared at the abbot, turned her head away from her vicious look, and said kindly to Ji Songxian: "Good boy, you are really a good daughter of your mother. This is a good word, let's eat more and eat poor food." he."

The abbot smiled and said nothing, Wu Shi only felt that his family had won once, and immediately felt complacent, he led Li Luan'er and Sun Shixiong to look for a place with a good view like a victorious general in high spirits.

Ji Songxian covered his mouth and sniggered, but Mrs. Sun seemed not to be surprised, and quietly said to Ji Songxian a few steps behind: "My sister has a way, every time our bridesmaids come, we can't persuade them."

Ji Songxian stared: "Isn't that mother still wanting to beat the abbot?"

"Where?" Sun gave Ji Songxian a white look: "The old monk is very powerful, and my mother can't beat him. Every time my mother can't fight, I will fight with him, compete with him to shovel the ground, and think about it with my younger brothers and sisters." The old monk was afraid it was on purpose, he couldn't bear to see his mother, and every time he was so agitated, he asked mother to do work for him for nothing."

Ji Songxian was almost dumbfounded, and felt that the style of this painting was extremely wrong. How could the respectful and kind old abbot in the legend become a rascal in the mouth of his sister-in-law, and how could his shrewd and neat mother behave like a child? It was also defeated by the aggressive method.

Ji Songxian couldn't figure it out for a while, so he didn't think about it anymore. After walking around with Wu for a while, Wu didn't feel tired at all, but Ji Songxian could barely walk.

At noon, Mrs. Wu took Ji Songxian to enjoy a vegetarian meal.

Wu's and Sun's are different from the grandmothers and wives of many high-ranking families in Jinling. They call maids to serve meals, but they just tell them to serve less.

Ji Songxian saw that the two of them cherished food so much, they ate all the food in the bowls and plates when they ate, and there was no grain of rice left. He was puzzled, but he followed suit. Why, Ji Songxian only felt a burst of light in his heart.

"Sister Xian eats a lot today." Wu said with a smile: "Probably because of moving too much, and when I go back to grow vegetables for my mother, I will feel hungry when I am very tired. When this person is hungry, he will eat everything." I can eat it. When there was a famine in my hometown, we even ate grass leaves, bark and tree roots. Some people were so hungry that they ate Guanyin soil. Some people are bloated to death."

Ji Songxian listened carefully to Mrs. Wu's chanting, and whispered: "Who knows that every piece of Chinese food is hard work."

Hearing such words, Ji Songxian only felt that when she was married, she was hurting her spring and autumn all day long because of the safety incident, and it was too arrogant to lose her energy for several years. In this world, it was hard to survive. There are too many people, and she doesn't have to worry about food and clothing, who doesn't have to work hard for a living, what right does she have to be sad because of a little unsatisfactory.

The three of them ate and rested for a while before leaving.

When Wu left, he didn't say goodbye to the old abbot. Ji Songxian didn't know why, but just asked if he wanted to say goodbye, but Wu waved his hand and said no. Ji Songxian thought that Wu and the old abbot were familiar, so he should know his temper. I thought it was unnecessary, so I didn't ask again.

Sitting in the carriage, even though it was still bumpy, Ji Songxian no longer felt how hard it was.

The car left Lingyin Temple and walked eastward along Xuanwu Lake. Ji Songxian watched the lake and mountains outside the car and people coming and going, and his mood became more and more calm.

However, before she was calm for a long time, she was startled back to her senses by the sound of horseshoes, but she saw Mrs. Wu ordered someone to drive the car aside, and a group of people in flying fish suits rode past in a flashy manner, led by a man in his twenties Young man, he sat upright on the horse, with an awe-inspiring aura all over his body. Because of his passing so fast, Ji Songxian only felt that this man's aura was astonishing, but he didn't have time to see his face clearly.

Afterwards, she saw this group of people kicking away the stalls on the side of the road from a distance, but they didn't care, and rushed all the way in a ostentatious manner.

"This is?"

Ji Songxian was startled, he didn't want such people to exist under the emperor's feet.

Mrs. Wu also didn't understand, and immediately asked the girl to ask the coachman: "What happened just now, who are those people?"

The driver stopped the car and went down to inquire for a while, and he got some confirmation from a well-informed person. When he came back, he walked through the curtain of the car to give Wu's theory.

"Old lady, the one who just passed by was the commander of Jinyiwei who just took office. I don't know which adult committed a crime and wants to arrest him, but, just, it's a bit too ostentatious."

Mrs. Wu was silent when she heard this, but Mrs. Sun let out a long sigh: "I'm afraid the capital city will not stop again."

After hearing this, Ji Songxian's heart tightened, he felt chills all over his body, and a little fear in his heart.

The Great Xia Dynasty has not been established for a long time now, and it has been ruled by only three generations from the Taizu to the present. However, although it is only such a short period of time, Jinyiwei has become famous far and wide, and has the ability to stop children from crying, which shows how ruthless their methods are. Spicy, how many lives are there, the blood on it may fill up half of Xuanwu Lake.

During the Great Xia Dynasty, the Taizu set up Jinyiwei to monitor all the officials, and to deter those old officials who followed Taizu's southern and northern wars and became marquises. Since then, Jinyiwei has been notorious.

Especially Zhu Gou, the former Commander of the Jinyiwei. Since he took office, he has arrested countless officials and killed countless people. It was found out that he was wronged, but after being released, he was already crippled, and died within a few days.

Ji Songxian still clearly remembers when she just married Cheng Ping'an, one day Cheng Ping'an came back and said that an official in the DPRK whom he admired somehow offended the Commander of Jin Yiwei and was framed and arrested. He was severely tortured and tortured, and Ji Songxian was trembling and terrified just thinking about the harsh punishment.

Although she was in the back house, she had also heard how officials would be treated when they entered Jinyiwei.

For example, pouring chili water, beating the board, etc. are all light, but there are so many different things such as pulling nails, tiger benches, skin cramps, etc., enough to make people tremble with fear just hearing the name.

However, because the previous commander was too ruthless and too ostentatious, he not only offended too many officials, but now he has lost patience with him. In order to appease the officials, he can only be taken out as a target.

It is said that the commander suffered all the tortures he invented before he died, and he wailed for a full ten days before he died.

Since the commander left, Jinling City has not seen Jin Yiwei being arrogant again for about half a year. Now that the new commander has taken office, just the scene just now shows that he must be arrogant. I am afraid that Jinling City will have another storm in the future It goes on and on.

"Mother." The more Ji Songxian thought about it, the more frightened he became, and he held Wu's hand tightly: "Mother, let's go back and tell Dad to be careful."

Jin Yiwei does not arrest people when there is clear evidence. Some officials have been imprisoned for trumped-up charges, and they don’t care about the size of their official positions. Regardless of whether your majesty is important or not, they can be arrested whenever they want, not to mention the prime minister. Those who were granted the title of king and marquis were also taken into prison.

"En." Wu's eyes were a little uncertain, and he nodded: "Although the old man is smart, but... well, I'll go back and talk to him."

"Mother, let's talk to dad early." Sun was also a little worried: "Father has always looked down on Jin Yiwei's methods, I think this commander is probably not a vegetarian, so don't ask dad to conflict with him. "

"My son, don't be afraid." Mrs. Wu hugged Ji Songxian in her arms, and smiled at Mrs. Sun: "Your father is smart, even if you look down on him, you won't fight face to face."

With Wu's words, Ji Songxian let go of his worries and smiled on his face.

And the new commander Ji Songxian, Mrs. Wu and Mrs. Sun were talking about led his subordinates all the way into the Jinyiwei command post like a whirlwind. He quickly jumped off his horse, stood firmly, and looked up at the cards. With a big character, he stepped in with a cold face.

Throwing the thin cloak he was wearing to the school lieutenant behind him, he walked into the inner room with a few steps, where there were several tables, tables and chairs. He sat on the chair with his pen fingers straightened, making his whole body even more intimidating.

A hundred households came in cautiously, and the commander took a look at him: "How's the investigation going?"

After seeing the ceremony, the hundred households became more and more cautious: "My lord, I have just checked carefully. Today, there are more than 84 pilgrims who went to Lingyin Temple to offer incense, and 12 people who entered the back hall. There were [-] people who paid a large amount of sesame oil money. Among them, Ji Zaifu's wife and the young lady met the abbot of Lingyin Temple, and they should have given a large amount of sesame oil money. The Zhike monk inquired and confirmed that it was the little lady of the Ji family who added the Buddha lamp, and also added a petal of the Buddha lotus, all for the benefactors of Song Hui's sons and daughters."

The commander's expression became more and more serious when he heard that, and when the hundred households were almost out of breath by his momentum, he said, "Take a good look at Zha Ji's family."
