Master Luo Cao

The two approached the monk's dormitory lightly, and Kou Luojia poked a hole in the window paper, squinted his eyes and looked up, and gave a soft "Huh".Fu Yunshu became curious, grabbed his arm and hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?"

Kou Luoche stepped aside and said, "There's no one inside."

Fu Yunshu went to the small hole and took a look. Although the room was pitch black, he could still vaguely see the furnishings inside under the moonlight, and there was indeed no one there.He was very surprised, and said: "Not in the monk's dormitory...then where can they be at this big night?"

Kou Luoche said: "It's better to go to the Daxiong Palace to have a look."

The Yunjian Temple occupies a large area. It seems that they have made a lot of incense money in the past few years when they moved from the backcountry to the state capital. The two detoured a lot before arriving at the main hall of the temple. Walking straight to the Daxiong Palace, the lights inside are brightly lit, and there are various tributes on the table, and the incense is curling up, but there is still no one, only the golden Buddha, looking down at the two small mortals with compassion.

The monk's room is at the end of the temple, and the main hall is at the front of the temple. The two of them have almost visited the entire Yunjian Temple.

"Strange..." Fu Yunshu murmured, "Where did this person go?"

Kou Luoche also frowned, stretched out his hand and patted the lotus seat of Sakyamuni, and said, "Could it be that we went out together for alms?"

Fu Yunshu said: "Who goes out at night for alms?" He turned his head and looked at the glittering golden Buddhas and Bodhisattvas all around him, "And I think they don't need to ask for alms because of their family background." He moved down from the lotus seat, grabbed the stick again, shook it, and said with a smile, "Brother Fu, please sign?"

Fu Yunshu said: "Do you still remember why we came here?"

Kou Luoche persistently handed the lottery to him, and said, "It's all here."

Fu Yunshu took the stick and shook it. After a while, one of the sticks fell on the ground. Kou Luoche picked it up first. After a moment of surprise, he laughed and said, "It really works."

"What is it?" Fu Yunshu took the lot out of his hand and took a look—and signed it.

The two wandered around the temple for a long time, but still found nothing, so they had to return without success.From the place where he came in before, he climbed over the wall and went back to the grove to lead the horse. Fu Yunshu sat on the horse's back and pondered for a while, then suddenly said: "Brother Kou, where do you think the monks in Yunjian Temple will go? I It’s really puzzling.”

Kou Luoche said: "It is impossible for people to disappear out of thin air, let alone there must be more than one monk in Yunjian Temple, and it is unlikely that someone else forcibly hijacked them away silently."

Fu Yunshu nodded thoughtfully, "Yes."

Kou Luoche said: "So according to me, most of the monks ran outside by themselves."

"But in the middle of the night, if the monks don't recite scriptures and sleep well in the temple, where will they go?"

Kou Luoche said: "It's so late, they don't go wherever they want, most of the shops have already closed."

"Except for the inn, there are only Moyue who are still open to attract business at such a late hour..." Fu Yunshu said, "The brothel is gone."

Kou Luoche said: "Do you want to go to the Mandarin Duck House again?"

As soon as he thought of the mandarin duck house, Fu Yunshu immediately thought of the enchanting girl's white lotus-like arm wrapped around Kou Luoqi's neck, and her unreasonable anger rushed straight to Tianlinggai, and said sullenly: "No!" Then he thought of something again, Turning his head to look at Kou Luoche suspiciously, "I'm afraid you really want to go?"

Kou Luoqi immediately raised both hands, "I'm not! I don't!"

"It's fine if you don't have one." Fu Yunshu snorted softly, and said again: "Our current identities are dutiful sons who have traveled thousands of miles away from home to seek medicine for our old father. Doubtful."

Kou Luoche immediately flattered her, "The county lord is wise."

Fu Yunshu looked back at the pitch-black temple hidden in the night, and said, "If you don't get anything today, then come back tomorrow. During the day, the monk should always be here, right?"

The two then rode to the post station again, and it was already late at night when they returned to their own room. Kou Luoche first sent the little county magistrate to the door of his room, and then went to his own place. A white bird fluttered its wings and landed on the window sill, calling "coo-coo"-it was a carrier pigeon.

A small bamboo tube was tied to the carrier pigeon's leg. Kou Luoche untied the bamboo tube and poured it into his palm. Sure enough, a small roll of paper rolled out. When he opened it, it read: Yang Ye has not returned home yet.

Kou Luoche immediately put his half-taken clothes back on the boat, and hurriedly knocked on Fu Yunshu's door with a note in hand, "Brother Fu! Brother Fu! Are you asleep?"

The little county magistrate was washing his hair at the moment, when he heard Kou Luoche knocking on the door, his wet long hair lifted from the sink, grabbed a cloth and wiped it casually, walked over to open the door, and asked, "Is it so urgent? What's the matter, Brother Kou?"

As soon as the door was opened, the little county magistrate was revealed behind the door, under the shade of the candlelight, which was extraordinarily lively and fragrant. In the hot summer, he only wore a jacket, his hair was loose on his shoulders, and he kept dripping water, pouring the white clothes into his clothes. The clothes were wet, revealing the skin behind, but he still opened his wet peach eyes, blinking and blinking, looking at Kou Luoche in bewilderment.Kou Luoche's Adam's apple rolled, took a breath silently, and said after a while: "After you fell asleep yesterday, I asked the shopkeeper of the inn to lend him a carrier pigeon and sent a letter to the Jiuhe County Yamen. Ask them if Yang Ye has gone back."

Fu Yunshu's expression suddenly became tense. He grabbed Kou Luoche's wrist and asked, "And then? Did they reply?"

Kou Luoche remained silent, and only spread out the palm of his hand, revealing the note in his hand.Fu Yunshu took the note and unfolded it carefully. After a glance, he was stunned for a while, and then he made a difficult sound, saying, "This... this... Yang Ye... hasn't returned yet?" He didn't know Shaking his head in disbelief, "It's been so many days, he should have arrived early, could it be... Could it be that he really..." Fu Yunshu suddenly thought of something again, his eyes sharpened instantly, and said: "Could it be Yang? Ye Gui's heart was like an arrow, he took the risk to leave the Golden Eagle Mountain, and was kidnapped by the bandits on the mountain?"

If something happened to Jiangbei Mansion, especially in Jiuhe County, the first person to suspect would be Jindiaoshan. The black pots on Haidong Qingzhai's head could create a Wangwushan. I'm used to it, but facing Fu Yunshu's questioning, I still feel a little wronged in my heart, and said sullenly: "The bandits have always robbed rich businessmen and gentry, so what are you doing to kidnap Yang Ye, who looks poor and poor? You hate him when you make soup. What about meat sticks?"

Fu Yunshu said: "...Maybe Hai Dongqing suddenly changed his taste?"

Kou Luoche said: "I don't think this is very likely."

Fu Yunshu also thought it was impossible, and walked around the room twice holding the note, finally stood still, and sighed: "I'm afraid Yang Ye will be planted in the gentle village this time."

Kou Luoche said: "Since they took Yang Ye down, they probably know his purpose and identity. They should not dare to act rashly for a while. Fortunately, we are in the state capital. We will step up our investigation tomorrow, and maybe we can find some clues Don't worry, Yang Ye may still be saved."

Fu Yunshu said in a low voice: "If something happens to Yang Ye, as an officer, even if I put on this black gauze hat, I will definitely punish the Mandarin Duck House."

Seeing his serious expression, Kou Luoche couldn't help but feel moved, and asked, "What if it were me instead?"

Fu Yunshu was taken aback, "What is it you?"

The corners of Kou Luoche's lips curved slightly, "I mean, what if the accident happened to me?"

"Bah, bah, bah! Don't talk nonsense!" The little county magistrate made a gesture to slap Kou Luoqi on the mouth, "You will be fine!"

Kou Luoche easily pinched Fu Yunshu's wrist in his hand, and the little county magistrate fell on his chest without paying attention. He looked up at Kou Luoche's eyes as deep as a cold pool, saw his lips open and closed, and said in a warm voice "What if, I mean what if?" Fu Yunshu immediately lowered his head and didn't dare to look at him. He blushed and tried to withdraw his hand, but felt the other hand holding his wrist tighten instantly. A voice with a smile rang in my ear, "Don't dare to say?"

"There's nothing you dare not say!" Fu Yunshu smashed the jar, closed his eyes and said, "If you... if you... how I treat Yang Ye, I will naturally treat you the same way!"

"Oh..." Kou Luoche let go of his hand, pretending to be disappointed and said: "It turns out that Yang Ye and I are the same in the heart of the county lord."

"No!" Fu Yunshu said subconsciously, and it was only when the words came out of his mouth that he realized something was wrong. He immediately turned his head guiltily, and said falteringly: "It's...not exactly the same..."

Kou Luoche asked: "That's it, what's the difference?"

This question stumped Fu Yunshu. He murmured and mumbled for a long time, his face turned red, but he didn't utter a word.Seeing his sad face, Kou Luoche was not willing to continue to embarrass him, stretched out his hand to stroke his wet hair, took the cloth in his hand, gently wiped his hair for him, and said: "It's getting late, hurry up Dry your hair and go to bed."

Kou Luoche's fingertips touched Fu Yunshu's forehead. This was an unintentional action, but at this moment it was like a hammer, beating Fu Yunshu's heart drum with a "thump". He quietly raised his eyes. His clear eyebrows were close to Chi Chi, and he was concentrating on brushing his hair at this moment, without paying attention to Fu Yunshu's lingering gaze.

In the end... what is the difference?

On the second day, the two "filial sons" got up early and galloped to Yunjian Temple.I thought it was early enough, and there were more than enough incense sticks, but when I arrived at the ground, I saw a long queue in front of the gate of Yunjian Temple. He stared intently into the temple.

The two led the horse to the end of the line, and were about to ask a question, but an old lady in front of them was having a lively chat with another person, so the two listened silently.

The aunt said: "It looks like you are from another place. Why, you are also here to ask for a lottery?"

The person she struck up a conversation with was a young man with a handsome face, dressed in a long gown like a scholar, nodded, and said: "Xiaosheng wants to go to Beijing next year to take the exam, and I want to come here to ask for a lottery, so I can predict my future."
