"This great monk," at this time, a policeman came forward and asked the monk who was sitting cross-legged and meditating again, "you are not here to cause trouble, are you? You said you are surrendering, then you should tell me what you have committed.
ah?"
When this person asked questions, Cheng Xiao had already heard the news and came over. Seeing such a scene, he was also deeply curious.
"Amitabha," the monk did not open his eyes when he heard the question. He just stopped picking up the Buddha beads and said, "People have the heart of an animal. They have empty thoughts but no intention, confusion and confusion, and no intention to rely on."
After he finished reciting, he continued to recite scriptures that no one understood.
"Hey, why are you here to talk to us about Buddhism, intentionally or not? Hey," the policeman from before frowned, pointed at the monk and said, "This is a government office, we are all very busy, if you are chanting sutras?
Go to your temple and recite it!"
However, the monk turned a deaf ear to this.
"Hey? You really don't know what's going on." The detective raised his whistle stick, "If I don't give you some clues, you don't know you're in the wrong place! Shit..."
As he said this, he prepared to fight.
"slow!"
Cheng Xiao quickly came closer and stopped him.
However, just when Song Zhili was about to ask a question, another thing that no one could have imagined happened.
Especially the few Buddhist words I recited just now were not loud, but could be heard clearly by everyone present.
Song Zhili opened it and took a look. He was so frightened that he fell to his knees and exclaimed: "This... this is an imperial edict!"
But after the people left, the government servants and police officers in the lobby were still in shock, feeling as if they were in a dream.
"Oh," Cai Jin grinned, "Even monks came to complain, this Qiu Zhennong..."
Cheng Xiao was worried that the monk had other agendas, so he kept his sword in his hand to protect Song Zhili.
"Yes!" Fu Bin and others stepped forward together, trying to drive the monk out of the Yamen.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Cheng Xiao finished speaking, the monk suddenly opened his eyes!
Oops...
"Okay, now it's what you want!" At this time, Sima Xin said with a dark face, "In a few days, the Ministry of Punishment will send people over to supervise the case. They say they are supervising, but in fact they are here to supervise the execution."
That is to say, let them find out the evidence of the crime as soon as possible and interrogate him.
"slow!"
Could it be that...the revenge of the Minister of Civil Affairs is coming so soon?
However, as the crowd parted, two officials emerged from the crowd. They were Sima Xin, a soldier from Songzhou who had just dealt with them not long ago, and Cai Jin, the governor of Daguan County.
However, after the county government found out, how could they bypass the county magistrate and immediately sent the resignation letter back and asked Song Zhili to sign it.
"This imperial edict was sent directly to the Songzhou Mansion, and the edict was issued by the eunuch of the Supervisor of Ceremonies, which shows that the Holy Emperor attaches great importance to this case!
"I heard that in addition to sending the Criminal Department to inspect, there is also the possibility of sending internal guards to monitor. You should pay special attention when handling it, especially Qiu Batian's property... um..."
This time, the monk recited louder and louder. Everyone's ears were shocked when they heard it, and some even couldn't help but block their ears.
"Oops, what's going on?" Chen Houlu was going crazy, and immediately jumped to his feet and asked, "Who's coming? Who's coming?"
But it was chilling to see the monk's eyes look fierce, looking directly at Cheng Xiao, as if he could kill someone.
But the facts soon hit me, and I saw that the monk was still busy chasing beads and chanting sutras, and ignored him.
"Yes, yes," Song Zhili hurriedly pointed to the depths of the Yamen, "Two adults, it's too chaotic here, let's talk in the inner hall!"
"People have the heart of an animal, they are daydreaming without a heart, they are confused without a heart, and they are confident without a heart."
So, he also came to the monk and looked at it carefully.
"Then hurry up!" Cai Jin said, "Now there is no need to take care of anyone's face!"
"Everyone, think about it now," Xu Zhen stepped out and asked everyone, "Do we have a place called Daxiangguo Temple in Yanping County?"
"Yes," Sima Xin said, "That Pan Wending really has some abilities. It must be the secret from the letter to the Holy One that played a role.
"Then..." a police officer pointed at the monk and asked, "What should I do with this monk?"
Song Zhili hurriedly checked the imperial edict, but saw that what was written on it was indeed what Cai Jin said. The emperor had already known about Qiu Zhennong's evil deeds of causing harm to the countryside and killing innocent people, and now asked the Songzhou Prefecture to investigate strictly and take legal action as soon as possible.
"What?" Song Zhili was also very confused after hearing this, "surrender?"
this……
Cheng Xiao had good eyesight and made the same judgment as Xu Zhen.
One of the police officers also hurriedly came to the two adults and told them about the monk's situation.
"Master, I heard that you surrendered. What crime did you commit? If you didn't say it, how could we handle it?"
"County Magistrate Song," Cai Jin asked anxiously, "how is the case of Qiu Zhennong going now?"
Everyone present was shocked and took a step back.
Although Song Zhili was slightly stronger than him, he was still frightened and his legs were weak.
However, after looking at Cheng Xiao for a few seconds, the monk recited those Buddhist words again:
"Master," Cheng Xiao came to the monk, bowed and clasped his fists, and asked respectfully, "Young officials from the yamen are bound to be rash, and I hope you will forgive me if I have offended you. What advice can you give me, master?"
"Ah?" Song Zhili was startled again. From the panicked state of the government servant, he knew that something big must be happening outside.
"This... this..." Song Zhili replied hesitantly, "It's still under trial, soon, soon..."
Seeing these two people appear, Xu Zhen also frowned. These two people left and came back again, bringing a large number of people with them, which must mean that the situation has changed. I wonder if it will be detrimental to him?
Also, these two people have never visited Wei Yulang at all, so they won’t expose the truth, right?
"What's wrong?" Cheng Xiao glared at Xu Zhen angrily, "What do you want to do again?"
Then, Cheng Xiao began to look at the monk carefully, as if he could see something.
When Song Zhili learned about this, he was naturally furious. He was arguing with Chen Houlu in the back hall just now, and it was very unpleasant...
"Damn, you really don't know how to praise me!" The previous policeman raised his whistle stick again and aimed at the monk's back.
In addition, this person seems to be somewhat similar to the two Dongyou San people who assassinated Xu Zhen. His muscles are tight and his veins are bulging, but his face looks kind.
At the critical moment, Xu Zhen suddenly shouted and stopped Fu Bin and others.
"Magistrate Song, please take a look!" Unexpectedly, the two officials were more anxious than Song Zhili, so Cai Jin quickly handed a roll of stuff to Song Zhili.
What a scary look!
"Yes!" Everyone accepted the order and turned around to leave the lobby.
The two adults nodded, and then led their large troops into the inner hall...
Cheng Xiao stopped him again and continued to ask the monk pleasantly:
"..." Song Zhili was in a state of confusion and felt a little dazed for a moment.
Song Zhili felt like his mind was in a mess. He never expected that this matter would attract the attention of Emperor Daxuan and even issue an imperial edict specifically for this case.
"Hey?" Cai Jin also discovered that a monk was sitting cross-legged in the lobby and asked hurriedly, "What's wrong? What is going on?"
At this point, Sima Xin realized that the situation was wrong and quickly stopped talking.
"Don't let him cause trouble," Cheng Xiao pointed at Fu Bin and others and said, "You guys, take him out!"
"Oh...it's okay, it's okay," Chen Houlu was the first to react and hurriedly explained to the two officials, "Up to now, people still come to complain to Qiu Batian every day, this one too, and this one too..."
From this, Xu Zhen judged that this person must have martial arts skills.
"ah!?"
Cheng Xiao's words were extremely polite, and everyone thought that the monk would definitely respond.
"My lord! My lord! Come...here! Someone is coming!!!"
"Okay," Cheng Xiao summoned the detectives and ordered, "You have all heard it, so hurry up and sort out the interrogation materials as soon as possible. I guess you will need them soon."
"Oh," Fu Bincai said with a grin after being stunned for a long time, "It seems that Qiu Batian is dead this time!"
"Yes," Cai Jin said, "His Majesty has decreed that we should investigate Qiu Zhennong's case as soon as possible and bring it to justice as soon as possible to serve as a warning to others!"
It turned out that the cunning Chen Houlu, when he saw that Qiu Batian's case was about to put him at risk, he actually submitted his resignation to the county government without telling Song Zhili, wanting to retire early, and left.
Seeing the two county magistrates arriving, all the government officials quickly stood up.
But when he saw the yamen guard outside running into the lobby like crazy, he fell over without saying anything. After he got up, he shouted loudly:
"What's wrong? What's wrong?"
At this moment, the county magistrate Song Zhili heard the commotion and appeared in the lobby.
Seeing the monk open his eyes, Cheng Xiao instinctively held down the sword at his waist, and Shen Yu also held onto the short stick in his hand, ready to attack.
As a result, as soon as Chen Houlu finished speaking, he saw a large group of people rushing in from outside the Yamen.
"Ah? This..." Seeing that all the people who came in were wearing official uniforms, Chen Houlu thought it was his end and suddenly collapsed to the ground out of habit.
"Master Sima? Master Cai?" Song Zhili hurriedly stepped forward, "What...what does this mean?"
At the same time, Xu Zhen also discovered that this monk had a very strong aura. Although he was wrapped in a monk's robe, there was a sense of strength inside and outside.
Behind him, there was also the county magistrate Chen Houlu. However, Chen Houlu's face was not right, his face was red and his neck was thick, as if he had just had a fierce quarrel.
"What? Daxiangguo Temple?" Everyone frowned, not understanding what Xu Zhen meant.
However, after hearing this, the monk suddenly opened his eyes for the second time and looked directly at Xu Zhen.
This time, there was no fierce look in his eyes, but he slightly raised the corners of his mouth, revealing an evil smile...
