Seven Su Zhai Forgive

The doctors at the Second People’s Hospital in the provincial capital were extremely busy that night.

To paraphrase the words of the head teacher on duty at night.

“I’ve seen people with broken bones in fights, but I’ve never seen so many people with broken bones in fights”

Greenstick fractures, compression fractures, insertion fractures, comminuted fractures, oblique fractures, and spiral fractures.

Fracture of the ulna, fracture of the carpus, fracture of the patella, fracture of the tarsus, fracture of the radius, fracture of the clavicle.

The thick stack of test sheets surprised the doctors, and their good professionalism did not make them dumbfounded. Although these various diagnostic results made the old photo equipment a little heavy, fortunately, the injured did not have any fractures. How fatal. There was only one person whose bones on the entire right side of his body were basically shattered. He looked so miserable that even his mother couldn’t recognize him.

That night, the whole hospital was full of screams.

Such a horrible incident naturally caused a sensation in the entire provincial capital.

Yi Tianxing didn’t care about the sensational nature of the incident, although he heard it from Yuan Ye. Because of his absolute confidence, on the night of the accident at the provincial capital university, none of the wounded in the east of the city dared to say their names, and it was impossible for the people in the school to see their faces clearly.

It’s just that the shooting incidents at the provincial capital university are always full of excitement, but the disappearance of the big brother Biaozi in Dongcheng and the close contact between the Dongcheng people and the orthopedic doctor finally let the Jianghu in the provincial capital understand the terrifying existence of the young master of the Gu family. This case naturally alarmed the police and the school. Although there is no evidence to prove that Yi Tianxing did it, the previous police surveillance video and the transcripts of the students’ interviews have confirmed that Yi Tianxing and the provincial capital The shocking case at the end of 1994 cannot be separated from it.

After that night, Yuan Ye, who had always looked loyal and naive, finally led the young master’s order and began to sweep into the village. Around the Jinyang Square and the botanical garden, the Gu family began to take over the original Dongcheng business. Although this is definitely not Yi Tianxing’s ordered. For a while, people in the Jianghu in the provincial capital couldn’t help but feel that everyone was in danger, and the forces that originally belonged to Dongcheng also hid themselves, including Biaozi’s new recruit Master Xue.

The Gu family repainted the scenery, but Yi Tianxing fell into another trouble.

The police need evidence, and the current evidence is not enough for Yi Tianxing to squat, but these evidences are enough to prove that Yi Tianxing was involved in the brawl, and this is enough to make the school angry.

So Yi Tianxing began to accept inquiries back and forth in various departments of the administrative building of the provincial capital university day after day, waiting for the final processing result.

Winter has come, the provincial capital is getting more and more cloudy, and Yi Tianxing’s mood is gradually sinking in this back and forth.

A conversation with the ancient fox in Gaoyang County could not explain the mystery in his heart, but he had already adapted to living and thinking alone, so he was not in a hurry to ask anyone. On the contrary, the resolute personality that he deliberately concealed with a smile on his face since he was a child is gradually revealed.

He touched the back of his head and smiled a little indifferently. This place was planted with a demon hair by the ancestor master, and refined by the remaining breath of Emperor Zhenwu on Wudang Mountain, but somehow, since that time, his mood began to become indifferent, and this indifference There is something violent behind it.

Like this time.

He sat on the row of benches in the administrative building, waiting for the results in the conference room a little indifferently. The school is resuming the meeting. According to the information secretly found out by the counselor in the department, the twelve Tibetan students may be demerited because of the government’s ethnic preferential treatment policy, and the students who go to join in the fun will be warned and punished , only Yi Tianxing will probably be fired.

Expelling Yi Tianxing, he thought unwillingly: “It seems that I really can’t live an ordinary life.” After sighing, I couldn’t help but feel a little frustrated. After all, living a normal life, marrying a “nervous and not like a normal person” Lei Lei being a wife has always been the dream of the monster boy.

The inside of the building is painted with white paint, with a green dado underneath. It doesn’t look pleasing to the eye, but it looks a bit gloomy like a hospital. He sat on the bench blankly and looked in the direction of the conference room on the other side of the building. A man in a tunic suit went in earlier, but he didn’t know what he was doing.

At about eleven o’clock, the door of the meeting room opened, and the people in the meeting gradually dispersed. The department head sent the middle-aged man in the Chinese tunic suit who went in first to go out, then turned back and walked in front of Yi Tianxing. He looked at him with a smile on his face: “I fought for it, but the school didn’t agree. The school most taboos students from associating with the dregs of society.” He paused and said, “Don’t mind if I use the word dregs.”

Yi Tianxing thought for a while, and replied with a smile: “I don’t mind. Although sometimes I am also part of the scum, this does not change that the scum is the scum.”

The head of the department sighed and said, “Stay in school for a year.”

Yi Tianxing thought he heard it wrong, and tilted his head slightly: “You mean to stay in school?”

“yes.”

“Thank you.” He stood up and bowed deeply to the head of the department.

The head of the department smiled: “You don’t need to thank me. The person who needs to be thanked is outside. You can go.”

Seeing the old man walking slowly away in the quiet corridor with half bent body, Yi Tianxing suddenly wanted to sigh with emotion at this moment.

It’s a pity that he didn’t have the time in his life to feel that the life after coming to the provincial capital was really complicated, boring and tense, which made him lose a lot of interest in the sad spring and autumn in Gaoyang County. If your life is a mystery, let yourself figure it out slowly, but in this process, he doesn’t want to miss the happiness he wants, and in order to ensure his happiness, he must first keep his life, at least It is the trajectory of life. There are so many reasons, so in fact, it is just that he has to use the time of grief and sorrow to meet the person who helped him.

The man in the tunic.

In 1949 and 1995, there were only three types of people who still wore Chinese tunic suits, one was people who had no money to buy other clothes, such as migrant workers, and the other was people who sneered at other clothes, such as Yi Tianxing A certain professor in the university I attended, the professor vowed to fight for the Three People’s Principles all his life. After 1949, it was not easy to fight clearly, so he vowed to wear a Chinese tunic suit for life. There is another category of people, that is, government officials, such as the one who is looking at Yi Tianxing at the door of the teaching building at this time.

The official is slightly bald, with a universally applicable smile on his face.

“Hello, Yi Tianxing, do you have time to talk to me?”

Yi Tianxing despised these people’s routine skills in his heart, put on a smile and got into his car, which was a Santana made in Shanghai.

The driver was not in the car. Yi Tianxing looked at the slumped government official and said, “Thank you for your help.”

“You’re welcome, Uncle Gu asked me to take care of you on the phone last time. I was in a meeting in Beijing recently. I didn’t expect such a big thing to happen. I’ve wronged you.” The bald official patted him on the shoulder, which was a standard official action, ” My surname is Tang, and my name is Tang Yitong, you can call me Uncle Tang.”

Yi Tianxing scratched his head with a smile, and knew who the person in front of him was. It turned out to be the nephew who worked in the Education Department mentioned by the old grandfather last time.

“What is Uncle Tang’s position in the hall now?”

“Deputy director, I’m running errands. The hall is going to Beijing for a meeting. When I’m trained by those big men, it’s time for people like me to go out.” Tang Yitong laughed at himself, stroking his bald hair just right to show toil.

The two chatted a few words in a neutral manner. After all, Yi Tianxing couldn’t match the patience of this kind of officialdom, so he said with a smile: “This time, Uncle Tang is troublesome, I don’t know.”Without further ado, wait for the other party to continue.

The following will come soon.

“The Provincial University is a national key point, directly under the Ministry of Education. It is useful for me to say hello to small things like absenteeism last time, but your matter has a very bad influence in society. If I am the only one who speaks, I am afraid it will not It’s for use.” Tang Yitong said: “Come today, one is to intercede with the school’s leaders, and the other is to pick you up to meet someone for dinner.”

“who”

“Pan Bureau of the Provincial Police Department.”

The car drove the two of them into Baotong Temple.

Baotong Temple is a large temple in the provincial capital. Although it is not as famous as Guiyuan Temple, it is still a scenic spot in the Pagoda Forest. This temple was built in the Liu Song period of the Southern Dynasties. It is not known how many years older than the Guiyuan Temple, which was built only in the Shunzhi period. The temple is located at the southern foot of the Dongshan Mountain in the provincial capital, facing south from the north. To the east is a large lake with quiet waves and pure heart, and to the west is the famous Taoist temple in the provincial capital. The whole temple is built according to the mountain, hidden among the green pines and green bamboos, and the solemn, simple and elegant atmosphere cannot be concealed.

After Yi Tianxing got off the car, he took a deep breath of the temple. He didn’t know whether it was because of the Buddhism he studied or because he spent many days in Guiyuan Temple. As soon as he entered the temple, he felt very comfortable. As soon as I looked up, I saw the mountain gate of the Zen temple. I saw the towering screen walls on both sides of the mountain gate, the ridges of cloth tiles, and the four big characters “Baotong Zen Temple” on the lintel. Xing subconsciously praised: “It’s really a good word.”

At this time, he didn’t know, because these four words would bring him great opportunities in the future.

Welcomed by the novice into the mountain gate, several people walked along the place of release, the hall of heavenly kings, the hall of great heroes, the hall of ten thousand Buddhas, and when they were about to arrive at the Palace of Dharma Realm, Deputy Director Tang waved him into a small room next to him. hospital.

The journey was very quiet, Yi Tianxing broke the silence and said with a smile: “The vegetarian restaurant in Baotong Temple is famous, but the vegetarian restaurant should be on the left side of the mountain gate. Uncle Tang took me into the temple to eat, so I don’t worry about disturbing the Buddha’s breath.” Tang Yitong laughed : “What’s so good about the vegetarian restaurant outside? The real essence is all in the temple. People who don’t have a certain status can’t eat it.”

The small courtyard is quite quiet, and there are three or two plum branches standing proudly against the wind in the corner of the courtyard.

In the courtyard, there was a man standing by the plum tree to greet him.

“Excuse me, Director Pan.” This is the second time Yi Tianxing has been helped by the provincial police boss, and although he doesn’t know what the other party wants today, he still wants to say thank you.

As soon as they were seated, the vegetarian dishes began to be served. Director Pan was dressed in casual clothes today, and he spoke a few words without mentioning anything to talk about. He only chatted about the weather these days and the waxing and waning of the moon. Yi Tianxing also understood the speaking habits of these characters, so he restrained himself and waited. After moving chopsticks a few times, Yi Tianxing finally lost his patience and couldn’t help sighing: “I never understood why the vegetarian food in the temple is made to look like nachos.”

He pointed to a plate of fried sausages on the table and said: “I don’t know what this plate of fried sausages is made of, but it looks like pork intestines with fragrant meat inside. How can monks eat this kind of vegetarian food?”

Deputy Director Tang and Director Pan looked at each other, wondering what the young man was going to say. Tang Yitong said with a smile: “Didn’t Buddhism say that everything is one? It’s all about appearance. Why care so much?”

Yi Tianxing shook his head and said: “All things return to one, that’s a Taoist thing. The appearance of skin and flesh is all illusory. It is a vegetarian dish, but it has to be made into a naan dish. This is really a sign.”

Director Pan’s eyes flickered, and he seemed to be interested: “Then what is Yiyi’s opinion?”

Yi Tianxing shrugged and said: “This is the same as Lao Meng’s saying that a gentleman is a far-flung cook.”

“How do you say it?” Tang and Pan made an appearance of listening attentively.

“The great monks wanted to eat meat, but they didn’t dare to eat it, so they made it look like meat, just to have a chat.” Yi Tianxing pulled the green cabbage heart, picked one and put it into his mouth.

Director Pan pointed to the tree plum in the corner of the courtyard and said with a smile: “Wanting plum means thirst.”

Yi Tianxing smiled and shook his head: “It’s very hypocritical.”

Hearing the sarcasm in his words, Chief Pan was taken aback for a moment, then laughed loudly again: “Sure enough, he spoke quickly, so I won’t hide it anymore.”

“Please tell me.” Yi Tianxing smiled.

“I don’t know if Student Yi and Master Bin Ku of Guiyuan Temple know each other.” Director Pan looked into his eyes.

Yi Tianxing said: “Director Pan was joking, last time you fished me out of the detention center, you still don’t know.”

“There is something I want to ask Student Yi to talk to Master Binku, so confirm it.” Director Pan’s voice was not high, and Tang Yitong moved his chopsticks to eat, as if he was not listening carefully.

Yi Tianxing was a little surprised, and said slowly: “Director Pan should have known Master Binku, and it’s inconvenient to say something directly.”

Director Pan smiled wryly, “He is also the vice chairman of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference. Besides, this matter has been talked about for two years, and there is no way to get his approval.”

Yi Tianxing subconsciously thought that this matter must be very difficult, so he said without thinking: “You can’t do anything, can I do it?”

Director Pan saw his avoidance, smiled slightly, did not say this for the time being, and asked instead: “Student Yi met the old man from the Gu family, which is quite beyond my expectation.”

Yi Tianxing smiled and said, “It’s not just you and me who are still baffled.”

This sentence came out of nowhere, making Director Pan and Deputy Director Tang a little confusedbrain. Yi Tianxing said with a smile again: “The two uncles are both big figures in the official world, so don’t care about the kid talking nonsense.”

Director Pan pondered for a moment and then said: “Student Yi, or I may call you Young Master Yi.” Although he said so, there was a trace of teasing in his eyes.

Yi Tianxing almost spewed out a mouthful of vegetarian dishes, and quickly waved his hands: “Don’t, it’s better to be a classmate.”

“A lot of things have happened in the provincial capital recently, do you know that?” Director Pan didn’t look at Yi Tianxing, and poured himself a glass of vegetarian wine.

“What?” Yi Tianxing began to pretend to be confused.

Director Pan smiled and shook his head, turned to Tang Yitong and said, “Tang Ting, you don’t know the energy of your nephew in the provincial capital.” Thinking of how swift and swift the action was, even though no one was killed that night, the impact was extremely bad, I hate this incident very much.”

Yi Tianxing thought to himself: “Whoever wants to do something, it’s because the Biaozi from the east of the city came to the door.” He frowned and said with a bitter face: “Director Pan, I am a law-abiding citizen.”

“I know.” Director Pan stared into his eyes: “I’m a government official, maybe there are some things that I’m not comfortable with, and I need to take another path. But on some big things, I stand firm. Province Everyone in the city knows that there may be corrupt officials, but the surname is definitely not Pan. If I didn’t know that you have been restraining Yuan Ye’s gang since you came to the provincial capital, I would not take the risk to see you today.”

“There is a company called Pengfei Industry and Trade, which has been active recently. There used to be a person in Dongcheng, but now he doesn’t know where he is. Can student Yi point out the way?”

Yi Tianxing thought for a while, raised his head and smiled and said, “Does Director Pan need that person?”

Director Pan said: “Humans alone are not enough. If I want him, I can get him at any time.” He paused and said, “I mean before he disappeared.”

Yi Tianxing understands what he means. It is not difficult for a majestic police chief in the provincial capital to arrest a figure in the provincial capital. It’s just that things are getting serious now, and there must be some decent evidence to close this place. Since the current It seems that there is no interest in dealing with the Gu family, so the unlucky one is naturally Chengdong. And these days Yuan Ye is taking Chengdong Biaozi’s life to sweep Chengdong’s business on the provincial city road, and he thinks he will gain something. He thought for a while and said, “Pengfei Industry and Trade’s business should be over soon. I think they should be able to get whatever Pan Bureau needs.”

Director Pan clinked glasses with him: “This gift is not small.”

Yi Tianxing found that the police chief was much more sincere than he had imagined, and said, “I’m causing you trouble.”

Director Pan added: “Recently, the province has issued instructions to tighten the law and order in the provincial capital. The crackdown will last for about a month. I don’t want to see people making trouble.”

Yi Tianxing said: “Thank you.”

Both sides got their own gains, and the scene at the banquet became lively again. In addition, the Deputy Director Tang was indeed an education background, and he was indeed knowledgeable. Several bedside jokes from the Eastern Jin Dynasty were told by him with some old rhymes. It also added a bit of inexplicable taste to this vegetarian light wine.

While the table was bustling with activity, a monk in cassock came in from outside the courtyard.

Not knowing the identity of that person, Director Pan and Deputy Director Tang stood up together, and Yi Tianxing stood up in confusion.

Director Pan said politely: “The abbot is not in meditation, but just having some vegetarian food with friends, and I dare not disturb you.”

It turned out to be the abbot of Baotong Temple.

The abbot smiled slightly, but he didn’t speak to Director Pan, but bowed to Yi Tianxing Heshi: “Scholar Yi came to the temple today, but he refused to see the old monk, what a pity!”

Although Director Pan knew that Yi Tianxing had some relationship with Guiyuan Temple, he never expected that the old abbot of Baotong Temple would respect him so much, and he couldn’t help but feel a little panic in his heart. Tang Yitong is a relative and friend of the Gu family, so he never imagined that the Gu family had a young master, who seemed to be more mellow than the old man in the provincial capital, who was entrusted by the chief of the police station to handle affairs, and the abbot of Baotong Zen House to greet him personally .

Yi Tianxing smiled slightly, just now he sensed that the abbot of Baotong Temple was also a practitioner of Buddhism, and he naturally understood that the other party was respecting his identity as the guardian of the mountain gate, and He Shi returned the courtesy: “I have seen the abbot.”

The abbot also bowed and said: “Laymen can see sex.”

“Failed.”

“After the feast is over, please stay for a while, because there is a trouble that the layman needs to get rid of.”

Yi Tianxing nodded with a smile.

After the abbot left, Pan and Tang saw something more in their eyes when they looked at Yi Tianxing. Chief Pan closed his eyes for a while, pondered for a while and finally said: “It seems that I really found the right person. Return Regarding the matter of Yuan Temple, I must trouble Xiao Yi for your help.”

When Yi Tianxing heard the word “Xiaoyi”, he was taken aback by the deliberate kindness. Before he could evade, he heard Director Pan say: “If it’s my own business, I don’t care about it. I am willing to ask for help like this, not to mention.” Although he didn’t speak, a sense of helplessness was revealed, “It’s just that this matter was entrusted by one of my elders, so I ask Brother Yi to fulfill it.”

Deputy Director Tang who was listening next to the “elder” finally couldn’t help but said, “Could it be that old Pan you are talking about?”

“Exactly.”

Yi TianxingWei Wei squinted, he didn’t know who this was, but he only knew that this matter seemed not easy, so he made a gesture of please, asking Director Pan to finish his speech.

“What is the most popular in the official circles of the provincial capital?”

“I really don’t know about this.” Yi Tianxing scratched his head, thinking that the officialdom was far away from him.

Tang Yitong was thoughtful: “The most popular thing is to respect Buddhism and Taoism.”

“That’s right.” Director Pan said softly: “Although these things are unlikely to be done on the bright side, everyone knows that those above are not the first sticks of incense at the beginning of each year who are compared with each other. Whoever can burn it will have a lot of face, and if you dare not believe these ghosts and gods, just say that the year before last, that person Lin lit a stick of incense in Wudang Mountain, and the construction company in his hometown 1.6 million was given.”

Director Pan sighed: “My elder is also getting older, and somehow he also believed in this, and he wants to light the first stick of incense in Guiyuan Temple to start the new year. But Master Binku is a real master of Taoism , I don’t like this, and I won’t allow any price. He is the vice chairman of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference and the director of the Buddhist Association. What can we do?

Yi Tianxing was dumbfounded. He only knew that these big figures in the officialdom were willing to spend a million yuan for a stick of incense. Fortunately, he has encountered too many strange things now. He is no longer the young man picking up rags in Gaoyang County. You can get some money for Guiyuan Temple, and as the guardian of the mountain gate, it seems that I can also generate income for the Buddhist sect. Thinking about these messy things in my heart, I replied with a smirk on my face: “The monks don’t have much money, so naturally I can’t think of this.” Come up, I’ll ask.”

A slight smile appeared on Director Pan’s lips.

“I just dare not hide it from you. I am currently facing a troublesome matter. I have to sort it out before I can give you a definite answer. I just don’t know if this time will be too late. After all, there are only a few days before the beginning of the year.” Already.” Yi Tianxing said very seriously.

Director Pan raised his glass and wished: “I have this sentence, I can explain it to the old man, thank you in advance.” He thought for a while, and then said: “Student Yi, I know you don’t have any deep connection with the Gu family. , to talk shallow and deep, but for your own sake, I want to send you four words at this time.”

“You say.”

“Abiding by the law.”

Yi Tianxing scratched his head, thinking that he really wanted to practice these four words well, but I wanted to become a Buddha, and there were demons around me. When I first entered the provincial capital university, I wanted to clean up the word white, but I can do things that even Lord Wei, who is in the palace brothel, can’t do.

He looked towards the mountain behind the Buddhist monastery, his face was silent.

If you don’t know the law of cause and condition, you don’t know loyalty. If you don’t know loyalty, you will forgive me if you don’t know

Jin Shengtan commented on the sentence of Water Margin. :
