This monk is a bit mean

Chapter 39: The Law of Chang'an City

On that day, the rest of the competitions at the arena at the west gate of Chang'an City were rather dull. There was no life-and-death fight like in the previous few matches, and most of them ended in a short period of time.

The Lin family had considered the arrangements for the competition very carefully. They knew that people in Chang'an City had a rich nightlife, so the competition was suspended in the evening.

The second round will start tomorrow morning.

Yunshu also left the west city gate in a depressed mood and walked towards the small inn where he was staying.

But at this moment, Li Mao caught up with him from behind.

"Senior brother, I also won and successfully entered the next round. I wonder if we can meet in the finals?" Li Mao said excitedly, hugging Yun Shu's shoulders.

"I hope..." Yun Shu only replied with two words, then lowered his head and sighed again.

"What's wrong, senior brother? Didn't you win too? Why are you looking so upset? It's like you lost?" Li Mao asked puzzledly when he saw Yun Shu's look.

"I won on the court, but I lost off the court. I lost twice as much." Yun Shu stamped his feet and beat his chest.

"Hahaha, senior brother, just keep bragging. I don't even know you. How can you be so arrogant?" Li Mao knew Yun Shu very well.

"I did! I first bet 60 taels on myself and won 6000 taels. Then I bet 6000 taels on the third game. If I won, I would get two taels. But those two damn guys actually played a fake match!" Yun Shu rubbed his back teeth and said hatefully.

"It's not a big deal. I just lost 60 taels." Li Mao disagreed.

"You, a rich second-generation, don't understand the suffering of the people at all!" Yun Shu said unhappily.

"Okay, let's go celebrate today's victory?" Li Mao didn't want to continue the previous topic, so he suggested.

"How do we celebrate? Drink wine? Have a big banquet? Visit Yichunyuan? None of these are possible. You and I are both monks and haven't returned to secular life yet." Yunshu poured cold water on Li Mao.

"That's right. Then how do you say we celebrate, senior brother?" Li Mao scratched his bald head and said with an awkward smile.

"Find a temple and recite the Bodhi Heart Sutra for two hours?" Yun Shu rolled his eyes.

Li Mao quickly touched Yun Shu's forehead and said, "Brother, you are not the one whose head was smashed by that Taoist priest, are you?"

Yun Shu pushed Li Mao's hand away and said through gritted teeth, "You can celebrate, but first help me find two people so that I can bully them and relieve my hatred first!"

"Looking for someone? Okay, it's no big deal!" Li Mao patted his chest and assured.

Li Mao took Yun Shu to Cao's mansion in the east of Chang'an City and found Eunuch Cao.

"Lao Cao, help me find two people." Li Mao went straight to the point.

"Your Highness, who are you looking for?" asked Eunuch Cao.

"No. 3 and No. 62 are competing in the West City Gate Arena today."

"Okay, I'll do it right away!"

"After finding him, bring him to..." Li Mao stopped talking halfway. He didn't know where Yun Shu lived, so he looked at Yun Shu beside him.

"Ba Tian Inn!" Yun Shu replied.

This Eight Days Inn is Yunshu’s temporary residence.

"Yes, yes, yes. Take the people to the Ba Tian Inn. My brother and I will be waiting for you there." After Li Mao gave instructions to Eunuch Cao, he followed Yun Shu.

It is said that Eunuch Cao is extremely efficient in his work.

Yunshu and Li Mao had not waited long at the Ba Tian Inn before Eunuch Cao came over with a group of soldiers, escorting Mutur and Qiao San.

Eunuch Cao's behavior scared the owner of the Eight Days Inn.

"My lord, do your job! Anyone who doesn't want to get into trouble, go inside, close your eyes and cover your ears." A commander beside Eunuch Cao shouted at the innkeeper and other guests.

The owner of the Ba Tian Inn and other guests hurriedly hid in their rooms, not daring to breathe.

After his men cleared the area, Eunuch Cao walked into the woodshed with a smile and invited Li Mao and Yun Shu out.

Then someone brought Mutur and Qiao San to the two of them.

"Your Highness, the person has been brought here. Do you need me to step aside?" asked Eunuch Cao.

Li Mao looked at the cloud tree.

Yun Shu nodded to Eunuch Cao and said, "Thank you, Eunuch. You don't have to avoid it."

Eunuch Cao smiled and nodded, then stood obediently behind Yun Shu and Li Mao.

"I'm asking you, was your competition today fake?" Yunshu asked Mutur angrily without getting straight to the point.

"Young master, why do you say that?" Mutur asked Yunshu in surprise.

"You are pretending! Aren't this woodcutter and the fat man from before yours your subordinates? You participated in a martial arts competition to find a wife, met your own subordinate, and then lost to him. Do you think this is reasonable?"

"Others may not know about your relationship, but I...this poor monk knows it!" Yun Shu continued angrily.

"Young master, you are wronging us. This Qiao San and I are just friends. Taking part in a martial arts competition to win a bride is a personal act. There is no such thing as a subordinate or a follower on the stage as you said. Once you are on stage, you are an opponent, and the winner depends entirely on personal ability!" Mutur said in a flat tone, leaving Yunshu helpless.

After listening to Mutur's words, Li Mao also looked at Yunshu. The meaning couldn't be clearer, and he felt that Mutur was right.

"You're just pretending!" Yun Shu said angrily in his heart.

"Junior brother, this guy won't tell the truth. Put him in jail and torture him severely until he tells the truth!" Yun Shu suggested to Li Mao.

"Brother, you're not good enough. Are you going to punish me now?"

"Do you still have law and order in your Chang'an city? You arrest people for no reason and torture them based on the one-sided story from this bald guy? This is totally unreasonable!" Mutur shouted angrily.

"Junior brother, he said you are bald, that's so rude, I can torture him! Beat him to death with a whip!" Yun Shu was shameless to the end.

"Senior brother, if you continue to make trouble, I will ask Eunuch Cao to release him." Li Mao was a little unhappy.

"Okay, I'll stop messing around." Yun Shuli's expression changed immediately.

Then Yunshu walked to Mutur and Qiao San, first looked at Mutur and then at Qiao San.

Then he said to the two soldiers behind Qiao San, "This guy has a body odor, I can't stand it, take him away!"

"Little bald donkey, you are the one who has body odor! Your whole family has body odor!" The wrongly accused Qiao San cursed angrily.

The two soldiers were also confused. Where did the body odor come from?

They looked up at Eunuch Cao, who nodded. The soldiers followed his orders and took Qiao San away.

After seeing Qiao San being taken away, Yunshu began his performance.

"You just asked if there is still law in Chang'an City? Let me tell you now, the law is right in front of you." Yun Shu pointed at Li Mao and said.

Mutur looked at Li Mao, somewhat confused about what Yunshu meant.

Yunshu went on to explain: "He, my junior fellow apprentice, is the prince of King Jin'an. Do you think he is the king of Chang'an City?"

Yunshu revealed Li Mao's identity, and Mutur was shocked.

"You and I are both smart people. You can't fool me. You deliberately lost to that woodcutter today. Not only do I want to know the reason, but His Highness also wants to know."

"If you tell me the truth, I can consider recommending a military talent to my good junior brother. If you don't, I can guarantee that you will be driven out of Chang'an City tonight. My junior brother will still give me this face."

Yunshu began to use threats and inducements on Mutur.

He knew that Mutur was an extremely ambitious man, and he must have some ulterior motive in coming to Chang'an City.

Given his ambition, Yunshu knew that what he wanted was to be appreciated and valued by King Jin'an.

Now Yunshu can give him a chance to serve the Prince of Jin'an, and Mutur will most likely cooperate.

"I'll tell you!" Mutur finally spoke up and told the truth.
