Chapter 39 Mahayana Buddha Kingdom
After lunch, Li Zhiyun took Zhang Zheng, Scarface and a few soldiers, and followed Wang Xingben out of the county on horseback, heading towards Daqi Village. Wang Xingben followed him closely on horseback, and was very attentive along the way.
His intention to curry favor was obvious, and he introduced the customs and customs of Xia County to him as he walked.
The county lieutenant is one of the important officials in the county government, responsible for pickets, arrests and prison sentences. In a large county like Xia County, the county lieutenant should be an official of the ninth grade. After Wang Xingben finished speaking, Li Zhiyun asked: "Wang Xingben
, are you a local?”
"Back to King Chu, Xiaguan is a local. His hometown is Fenghuang Village, ten miles outside the east city."
"Who else is at home?"
"There is only a sixty-year-old mother...well, and an uncle."
The two chatted and soon arrived at Daqi Village. Under the guidance of the villagers, they found Niu Da's home. It was a dilapidated courtyard. They got off their horses and walked into the courtyard. They found that the door of the house had been closed.
Lock. Obviously, Niu Da is not at home.
Li Zhiyun walked out of the yard and walked into the yard next door. There was a young couple in this house. He stood at the door and said, "Excuse me, where is Niu Da who lives next door to your house?"
"Niu Da is dead." The man in the room said.
Li Zhiyun was shocked and said quickly: "How did he die? When did it happen?"
"About half a month ago," the man said, "Niuda was cutting pigweed by the pond and fell into the pond and drowned."
When Li Zhiyun heard this, he felt very disappointed. After thinking about it, he said, "Then, is there anyone else in his family?"
"No. Niu Da's parents died young. He was very poor and had no money to get a wife. He was just alone."
"Then, doesn't he have any relatives?"
The man shook his head. At this time, his wife interjected: "He has a cousin, I have met him, but I don't know where he lives." After thanking Li Zhiyun, he returned to Niu's yard and told everyone
Said: "Niu Da drowned, let's go back."
Niu Da died, and the clues to the disappearance case were closed. Li Zhiyun decided to start again with the murder case. He took out the poem and read it several times, and then asked Scarface to be called over and said: "Wang Baoqiang,
You select fifty soldiers, and you personally lead them to the place where Zhou Shen's body was found, and search carefully within a five-mile radius to see if anything can be found." Scarface said he obeyed the order, turned around and went out.
.
After Scarface left, Li Zhiyun thought for a moment and said to Zhang Zheng: "Go to Master Hong and tell him that I want to see him." Half an hour after Zhang Zheng left, he brought Hong Suran over. Li Zhiyun invited him
Sit down and have someone serve him some fragrant tea.
Then he sat down across from him and said, "Hong Zhubo, I'm looking for you today. I don't have anything important to do. I just want to chat casually." Then, I chatted with him about home affairs. After chatting for a while, I turned to the topic, "
Hong Zhubo, are you familiar with Zhou Shen?"
Hong Jiran smiled and said, "How can I not be familiar with running an errand in a government office?"
"So, what do you think of Zhou Shen?"
"Not bad. He is friendly, hardworking, and gets along well with his colleagues."
"Does he have any enemies? Or enemies or something?"
"I haven't heard of this," Master Hong said. After a pause, he added, "To be honest with the King of Chu, the villain has a pretty good relationship with Zhou Shen, and they have a lot of contacts. When something unexpected happened to him, the villain felt very happy.
It’s not a taste. I still have a book I borrowed from him, and I haven’t had time to return it to him yet..."
"What book?" Li Zhiyun asked casually.
"Zhou Yiyi."
"Zhou Yi?" Li Zhiyun had a clever move and quickly said: "Can you show me the book?"
"Of course." The main book of Hong said that he stood up and told him. After leaving, he had about a scent of incense and sent the book over.
Li Zhiyun took the book and said to him: "Hong Master Book, go back first. What is the matter, the king will find you again."
After Hong Ran left, Li Zhiyun sat on a few sides of the case and looked at the "Zhou Yiyi Shu". After a while, he took the poem again. In contrast to the hatchback, he couldn't help but excite the case: "This
That's right! ... "
Li Zhiyun shouted Zhang Zheng, whispered in his ear, and Zhang Zheng nodded.
Zhang Zheng returned to his room, took off the official uniform, changed into a robe, hid a short sword into his arms, then left the station, left the county from the north gate, and went straight to Yinhua Mountain.
Zhang Zheng's body is healthy, and he is as good as flying. In less than an hour, he has stood on the rooftop. In front of the eyes, there is a rolling mountain, layers of mountains, lush and lush, and in the valley.
He walked along the stone trail. After half an hour, he came to a temple. He saw the plaque of the main entrance of the Buddhist temple: Puning Zen Temple.
This temple covers a large area. In addition to the Buddhist temple in front, there are many houses in the back. I do n’t know what to do. Zhang Zheng walked into the Buddhist temple.
In the circle, no abnormalities were found, so I walked out of the hall and walked towards the house behind.
The building layout behind the main hall was complicated. He passed through two corridors and walked into a yard. There was no one in the yard.
Zhang Zheng looked back and saw a vulnerable monk walking towards him, full of anger. He quickly arched: "Master, I am a vanker who worships the Buddha."
"Worship the Buddha to the main hall, this is where the monks are quietly repaired, and outsiders must not be good at!"
"Yes, yes." Zhang Zheng bowed and turned around and returned along the original road. After leaving the Puning Zen Temple, he went to several other temples.
, Hiding in a jungle next to the temple, eating dry food carried with you, waiting for the night of night.
At night, the valley is not quiet. In addition to all kinds of worms, there is also the screams of owls. Not far away, there was a long howl of sorrow, which sounded creepy.
Zhang Zheng took out his noodle scarf on his arms, then walked out of the woods, sneaked to the temple, and surpassed the high wall, jumped into the hospital.
Seeing the two monks who came on the face, they quickly hid in the dark. After two monks walked over, he continued to go forward, entered another small courtyard, and touched a door of a room.
The door was not locked, and he opened it gently. He entered the room, turned back to cover the door, took the candle and fire sickle from his arms, and lit the candle. This room was very messy, except for the Buddha in the wall.
There are many daily necessities, and there are a few bedding on the bed. It seems that this is the monk's residence.
Zhang Zheng walked out of the house and touched the other door. The door of the room was locked. He took out a thing, gently stabbed in the lock, and opened the door. He pushed the door in
, I almost stumbled over something. He quickly covered the door, took out the candle, and looked at it, and couldn't help but shock.
It is complete, full of the whole house, with thousands of pieces. It turns out that this is a weapon warehouse.
Zhang Zheng left the room, went to the door of the next door, and entered the room in the same manner. There were no weapons in this room, but there were many flags made of silk. There were many piled on the table and on the ground.
There were many Buddhist flags leaning against the wall. Zhang Zheng walked to the table with a candle, put down the candle, and then unfolded the large roll of flags and looked at them one by one. Finally, he found a few flags and rubbed them
Ba Lu Ba put it into his arms.
Zhang Zheng has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and his hearing is extremely keen. He suddenly heard footsteps in the distance, and hurriedly blew out the candle with a "pop"...
The footsteps were made by two monks on night watch. They walked over with lanterns. They first inspected the weapons storehouse, then walked to the door of this room and illuminated it with their lanterns. They found that the door lock was hanging on the ring.
.
"Hey, why isn't the door locked?" cried the monk holding the lantern.
Another monk said: "Let's go in and take a look!" The two of them pushed the door into the house and illuminated it with a lantern, but found nothing unusual. The monk holding the lantern asked: "Have outsiders come in?"
"Hey, this place is so secretive. How do outsiders know about it? Maybe I forgot to lock the door. Let's go."
The two monks walked out of the house, closed the door, locked the lock again, and left. Inside the house, Zhang Zheng walked out from behind the Buddhist flags against the wall. The monks locked the door, and he could no longer go out.
Fortunately, there is a skylight. Although the skylight is about one foot or two from the ground, it doesn't bother him.
Zhang Zheng jumped up, climbed up to the window sill, gently pushed open the window sash, climbed out, and jumped down. Then, he ran to the wall, climbed over it, and disappeared into the night after a moment...
Early the next morning, Zhang Zheng came to Li Zhiyun's guest room and told him what he had discovered at Puning Zen Temple last night.
"More than a thousand weapons?" Li Zhiyun asked in confusion, "Why are there so many weapons stored in the temple?"
Zhang Zheng handed the flags and flags to him again. Li Zhiyun unfolded them and saw a few red characters printed on one yellow Buddha flag: Mahayana Buddha Country. On the other side, it said: Mahayana Emperor. And on a triangular flag,
It says: Promote the Dharma.
"Emperor Mahayana?" Li Zhiyun said to himself, "Does Gao Tansheng want to rebel and make himself emperor?"
Zhang Zheng nodded: "It's very possible."
