Travel to the Water Margin

Chapter 177
Next door to the Sutra Collection Room of Huguo Temple is the meditation place of Master Jingfa.

Murong Bei was restrained and lay down on an armchair.

Opposite him, Duan Heyu, the king of Dali, sat in the middle, and Master Jingfa sat on the left.

Behind them stood more than a dozen marble civil and military officials, and this place seemed to be an interrogation hall.

Master Jingfa clasped his hands together and asked, "Master Murong, are you guilty?"

Murong Bei was furious, and asked back: "What is my fault?"

Jingfa shook his head and said: "Benefactor, Buddhism welcomes people with predestined relationship. His Majesty the King treats the donor like his own brother. Please ask the donor to be the prime minister of Dali. This is a good thing for both of us to accumulate good fortune. It is also very beneficial, but the benefactor has not been cleansed from his evil roots and has greed in his heart, so he wants to seize the country's foundation, should this matter or not?"

"The benefactor has read the Four Books and Five Classics, so he naturally understands the truth. I hope the benefactor can tell the whereabouts of the other accomplices frankly, so don't make mistakes!"

Murong Bei laughed loudly and said, "Master Jingfa, oh, or the former king, you are now a Buddhist, and you have violated the precepts? Interfering in the affairs of the government is the one who keeps saying that you want the six senses to be pure." Can you touch it?"

General Jian Guo said with a sullen face: "Murong Bei, I advise you to honestly tell where your accomplices are, otherwise I will serve you with severe punishment."

Murong Bei was trembling with anger, and said in a trembling voice: "Good Li Kang, I usually treat you well, why did you betray me?"

Master Jingfa clasped his hands together and said, "Master Murong, you only have a chance now. Thanks to the mercy of His Majesty the King, with a heart of cherishing talents, he granted permission for the benefactor to worship in Dali. How will the benefactor repay me in Dali? If it weren't for the benefactor's cooperation with others yesterday. , trying to lead troops to seize the throne forcibly, which shocked the court for a while. The benefactor is also greedy and burns himself."

Murong Bei continued to laugh and said: "It's ridiculous, a country controlled by Buddhism, I, Murong Bei, are poor and ambitious, self-praise, are you so willing? Don't you want to clean up the court? I can't imagine that the eminent monks are black and white. There is no distinction between right and wrong.”

Duan Ziyu lowered his head, did not reply, and remained silent the whole time.

Master Jingfa lowered his face and said: "Murong benefactor, why bother? What is the use of benefactor taking the prince away? I really can't guess."

Murong Bei looked at the few people and laughed loudly: "Yes, what's the use of my coming, master, you can't even guess, and I'm even more baffled."

Li Kang said sharply: "Don't talk sweet words, even if you have a clever tongue, you can't escape the crime of seizing the country!"

Jingfa shook his head and said: "Last night you first sent three accomplices to lure away the monks, and then the gangster took the opportunity to sneak into His Majesty's bedroom and steal the prince. Except for Li Kang, you are the only one who knows that the old monk is not in Huguo Temple. The plan was very careful. The old monk came today just to ask, benefactor, what exactly do you want to do? You must know that the prince is also your flesh and blood."

Murong Bei's eyes were full of love and affection, he looked at Duan Ziyu who had been bowing his head and said: "Yes, Ziyu, you can see that our children cannot grow up in such a country, don't worry, I have arranged for a good person to raise him, and he will be happy I grew up with ample food and clothing, no worries about food and clothing, no worse than in Dali.”

Li Kang roared angrily: "What are you so worried about? How can you, a poor scholar with no strength to restrain a chicken, be able to shake my country of Dali?"

Murong Bei was so angry that he had nothing to say, and said, "I am also the prince's father, why should his future be decided by you? Why!"

"Come on! Leave him to me and torture him to extract a confession! We must find out the prince's whereabouts!!"

"Don't! If you touch him, I will die for you." Duan Ziyu, King of Dali, said, only then did he realize that since she is a woman!
"It's good, good, let's put Murong Bei in the prison first."

After finishing speaking, Jing Fa simply closed his eyes, not bothering to say any more.

After the guardian monk took Murong Bei away, Jingfa said, "According to the interrogation just now, Murong Bei is determined to save this child."

Duan Ziyu immediately knelt down, grabbed his father with both hands and said: "Father, please, Murong Bei also loves his son very much, Fang'er is still young, how can you give him to Xixia as a hostage? I went to meet him He's dead, he's your own grandson."

Although she is the daughter of Jingfa, but Duan Ziyu is the king of Dali after all, so the weight of words is naturally not light, and Jingfa has to carefully consider whether to choose or not.

Jingfa had no choice but to close his eyes, and said, "Yu'er, a weak country has no diplomacy. We can only deal with it in this way when we are mixed in Xixia and Song Dynasty. It's like asking you to pretend to be a man. Please think twice, Your Majesty the King."

No one would have thought that Duan Ziyu, King of Dali, was a daughter. No one would have imagined that Duan Ziyu, the king of Dali, would fall in love with Murong Bei, who was carrying a tree cage, at first sight when they were out hunting.

The relationship between the two quickly warmed up, tasted the forbidden fruit, and gave birth to a child. All this happened so quickly that Jingfa was caught off guard.

It's okay if things are like this, and the pure law is recognized.

But at the beginning of the year, Duan Ziyu's elder brother, the proton who was detained in Xixia, passed away unexpectedly.

All the fuse was ignited because he chose Duan Fang who was only three years old.

Duan Ziyu was bombed, and Murong Bei was bombed.

Then Murong Bei sent out several distress letters.

Murong Nanyang, who was far away from the neon lights, moved.

After speaking the pure method, he stood up and left the room, leaving Duan Ziyu crying alone.

When Jingfalu passed by the locked cell of Murong Bei, he walked in.

Murong Bei lay on the bed with annoyed expression on his face, when he saw Monk Jing Pharaoh coming in, he ignored him.

Jingfa clasped his hands together and said: "The benefactor has invited you, and the situation is helpless. Please also tell us the whereabouts of the little prince so that we can track him down. If the little prince comes back safe and sound, I will apologize to the benefactor. I wonder what the benefactor thinks?"

Murong Bei flipped up from the bed, pointed at Jingfa and cursed: "Damn, do you think I don't know? The proton Xixia wants this time will never return, ten deaths and no life, you are so vicious Yes, that's your grandson."

After hearing this, Jingfa shook his head again and again, turned and left.

Jingfa gave an order to a group of civil and military personnel: "Order to go down, set up checkpoints along the way, and bring back anyone who sees a 3-year-old child."

"Yes." A group of civil and military officials bowed.

In the tea house, Lao Wang waited for Lin Chong and Yang Zhi to arrive outside the capital of Dali as usual, while Lin Youde and Hua Niang sat opposite each other and drank tea.

The movement outside made Lin Youde wonder, this was the first time he saw such an action in the capital of Dali, could it be that something big happened.

Now about a mile outside the capital city of Dali, checkpoints have been set up, and people have to verify their identities before they are allowed to pass.

Even in the capital of Dali, as long as you go out with children, an officer and soldier will come out every [-] meters to check his identity, which is very surprising. What is this for?
"Could it be that they are looking for a child? How is this possible?" Hua Niang shook her head and thought to herself, could this group of people conspire?

What a weird thing, what kind of tricks are you playing!
"My lord! My lord!" A figure appeared in the distance.
