Poor monks do not break the precepts

Standing on this side, Ji Deqin became more and more arrogant, and because he had seen the emptiness before, he was unhappy. Although he didn't see it in person, he heard from Qizi's servant that Huai Mingmo didn't want to marry a wife.He supported Di Feng who covered his face with half his sleeves and wept, and seized the opportunity to get angry, but under that reasonable aura, his eyes flickered slightly, as if he didn't dare to look at the elders.

Whenever there is reason, it is always more advantageous to say a few words of reason, but the most taboo is to be reasonable.Regardless of whether this slave was harmed by Chen Xiang or not, even if it was an unintentional mistake, the crime is not worthy of death.Looking at Ji Deqin's determination to get to the bottom of it now, he seems to want to use agarwood to kill his life.Not long after, a few more people ran out of the courtyard, crying and asking Mr. Ji to call the shots, and found out that they were relatives of the boy.

This family seemed to be going all out, completely disregarding the master's face, crying and making troubles, they almost found a white silk to do all the tricks, intending to get Chen Xiang's blood to pay for it.

Not to mention such nonsense, Xu Sheng sneered and sneered, and even several people in the Hidden World Villa frowned.At first, Mr. Ji was a little difficult to do, but Di Shi found a group of stupid women and made a lot of noise. Not only did it not work, but it was not helpful.

Di Feng saw something wrong, wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and persuaded softly, "Mother Chang, quickly bring the person in first." Under the cover of the scarf, she narrowed her eyes and looked at Nanny Chang fiercely.

Nanny Chang trembled in fright, and quickly sent a few stout domestic servants to carry him into the yard.Seeing this, Shen Changlin guessed that the host's family would have a long talk, and immediately suggested that everyone go to the front hall to discuss.

The ears were finally quiet, Mr. Ji stretched his brows, and said apologetically to Xu Sheng: "I made you laugh."

"Mr. Ji is polite." Xu Sheng cast sideways glances at Chen Xiang, and said solemnly, "It was my subordinates who caused the trouble, and Mr. Ji's behavior makes me even more ashamed."

A sneer came out of Ji Deqin's throat, and Di Shi beside him gently tugged at his arm as if trying to persuade him, "Since the Miao Monk is a sensible person, it's easy to talk about it. Does the Miao Monk want to make this matter public or private?" gone."

Xu Sheng raised his eyebrows, he didn't expect Ji Deqin to be so persevering, he certainly wouldn't let Chen Xiang be killed unjustly, he would have to say a few words if he wanted to.Unexpectedly, Ji Nianxian slapped the desk, and scolded, "Presumptuous."

Since the birth of his two sons, Ji Nian has always been a strict father, so the two sons are very awed and afraid of him.Being scolded so angrily by his biological father, most of Ji Deqin's arrogance disappeared, and he swallowed a lot of words that were forced to his lips, but he couldn't say them.

Di Feng hugged her husband's arm tightly, buried her face in the sleeve, and said sobbingly: "Life and death are up to fate, Liu Sheng's fate is not good, no one can blame others. I only pity Liu mother, the little son who has been loved since childhood, but wants her The white-haired person sends the black-haired person, I don’t know if the news reaches the big brother’s house, Liu’s mother will commit suicide.” After speaking, she knelt down on the ground because of the long-term weeping, and the pear blossom was very pitiful.

The big maid standing behind the chair stepped forward to support Di Feng, and comforted her, "Mama Liu is Madam Liu's nurse. She has watched Madam grow up since she was a child, and she will definitely understand Madam."

Ji Deqin watched his wife weeping, wronged and sobbing, feeling sad and uncomfortable for a while, feeling more and more useless, and less afraid of his father.He helped up his weak wife who was lying on the ground, and paid little attention to it. He looked awe-inspiring, as if he was doing something great, and said stubbornly: "This matter will be known to outsiders sooner or later. If it is rumored that the Hermitage Villa sheltered the murderer, Wouldn't it ruin the century-old reputation of the villa. If my aunt is in trouble, it's better to send this vicious woman to the Yamen, and let the Yamen stop it. If you think about Shaolin Miaoseng, you will never blame us."

Xu Sheng was amused by these words, he thought that he would not go back to Shaolin again, he could simply be a rascal, since he left Shaolin, the stigma would not be poured on Shaolin, anyway, it doesn't matter if he bears the stigma.Unexpectedly, he was about to speak, but was robbed by Huai Mingmo. Huai Mingmo walked up to Mr. Ji and bowed solemnly, "Mother, can you allow my son to go to Qingzhou Mansion to invite Qin Yuzuo, and then report to the official."

Ji Deqin snorted coldly: "Delay for time."

Huai Mingmo changed his usual speech and said slowly, "I have heard that Qin Yu from Qingzhou Prefecture has superb autopsy skills, and he has never had a single unjust case, so I want to ask him to examine it carefully. "

Ji Deqin flicked his wide sleeves, panic flashed across his eyes, and he said angrily: "Why do you think we will wrong this witch?!"

"Ming Mo's concerns are justified. After all, this is a murder case, so it's not good to act arbitrarily." Ji Duorui pulled Huai Mingmo back to his side, and silently looked at his nephew and niece and daughter-in-law for a long time, very dissatisfied with Ji Deqin's sudden change of temper. untie.After thinking about it, although he didn't really understand it, he also vaguely noticed something strange, and for some reason, he gradually developed a tinge of disgust towards Di Shi.

Ji Boru was also full of confusion. She didn't agree with hasty conclusions, so she volunteered and said, "Leave Mr. Qin's affairs to me." As soon as she finished speaking, she felt inappropriate, "Corpse is not easy in winter." It's rancid, but it's time-consuming for me to go back and forth. It's better to let someone from the Liu family who can make the decision go with me. Mingmo can also find someone here. Just let Qin Yuzuo inspect the body in Qingzhou Prefecture. When the time comes, please ask Mr. Qin came back with us to report to the officials. We just happened to be going to Qingzhou Prefecture and pass by Sister-in-law Di’s natal family, and we will send Liu Sheng’s body there so that his family can set up a spirit for funeral as soon as possible.”

Mr. Ji thought over and over again, but couldn't think of a way to satisfy both ends, so he nodded in agreement.Huai Mingmo even agreed without hesitation, and was willing to contribute more, planning to send both Xin Li and Zheng Fengnian there, in plain words to prevent changes along the way.

This matter should not be delayed, Ji Boru decided to go on the road immediately, just took two steps, before she had time to cross the threshold, a low voice came from behind her, she turned back to look at the person who stopped her in doubt, "Sister-in-law, what do you want?"

The tears on Di Feng's face had been wiped dry, his hands tightly twisted the silk handkerchief, and he pursed his lips for a while and said: "No need, if there is a quarrel, it will not be good for Shaolin and Yinshi Villa. If it spreads to Wulin, there will be more Gossip. Besides, the deceased has already passed away, and no matter how much you pursue him, he will not come back to life. I just thought about it, and this is the end of the matter."

Ji Sushan was silent on the side for a long while, and finally couldn't bear it when he heard this, he put down the tea bowl he was holding, and shook his head, "No, this matter must be explained to your elder brother's family and the Liu family. , Killing and selling is all the master’s word, and it’s not good to dowry for a few months, and if you say no, you will lose people. If it spreads, people think that the hidden world villa is a place of tigers and wolves, and they kill servants at will.”

The soft voice was like the spring breeze blowing on the face, and it also contained the precipitous spring cold, which made Di Feng shiver.Di Feng tried her best to calm herself down, pulled Ji Deqin as if inadvertently, and said in a slow voice: "I see that the wound is very thin, and it's hard to see if you don't look carefully. Liu Sheng was not in good health a while ago. I have been there twice. Reply to Mama Liu, the old man has actually been mentally prepared. Now when I send someone back, he is said to have died of illness, so he can get away with it if he thinks about it."

Before the words fell, tears fell first, Di Feng wiped the corners of his eyes, gasped for a long time, "The New Year's Eve is approaching, my niece and daughter-in-law don't want to cause more troubles and cause trouble to the village."

Now, not to mention Ji Sushan who saw the clue first, even the other few who were a bit obscure at first showed a hint of interest on their faces.Xin Li looked at Chen Xiang standing in the middle, he was out of breath, his hands were tightly gripping the back of the mahogany chair, otherwise the wood was so hard, it might have been broken by him.

The matter has developed to this point, and it is really boring to explore it further. Even if Chen Xiang accidentally injured someone to death, but Di Shi is so disregarding the reputation of the Ji family to pursue her, and secretly urged Ji Deqin to stand up for her. A few chills.

Mr. Ji sat sleepily in the main seat, looking at Di Feng with disappointment, "Do as you say."

"Wait!" Xu Sheng opened his mouth and immediately attracted everyone's attention, "After all, it was my subordinate who hurt someone, causing Liu Shengping to lose his life for no reason." He directly took out dozens of hundred taels of silver bills from his sleeve pocket, "Please give these to Mama Liu for me, and use them as Liu Sheng's funeral expenses."

Di Feng suffered a complete defeat today, he was vomiting blood in his heart and was discouraged, seeing that Xu Sheng seemed to be a good person, his knuckles turning white as he pinched the silk handkerchief.She tried her best to control her emotions, pretending to be sad and said: "There is no need for so much, and Master Xusheng will not bother you."

"Take it." Xu Sheng put a ticket under Ji Deqin's saucer, "It's a pity that people are gone, and the remaining money will be used to buy Liu Ma a house and a few acres of land as compensation."

The staring gaze was as cold as ice, Xu Sheng laughed and said: "If Madam really pities this family, then return their household registration."

Ji Duorui looked at Xu Sheng's cold face with a light smile, and inadvertently met Mr. Ji's eyes, silently speaking.Di Feng is very good at observing people. When she put away the banknotes, she secretly glanced at the people in the room, her white teeth could not help biting her inner lip, "What Master Xu Sheng said is exactly what I think, the others who were seriously injured, I also intend to do so."

Xu Sheng didn't take advantage of the victory to expose this hypocritical face, he nodded to Mr. Ji with a chuckle, turned around and walked out of the house.Standing in the middle, Chen Xiang followed Xu Sheng out involuntarily, completely ignoring the people in the room.

Without the presence of outsiders, Ji Nianxian immediately turned cold. He sat beside Mr. Ji, slowly looked at the juniors under his seat, "Kneel down."

There was the sound of chairs being pushed in panic in the room, and all the juniors knelt down together. Facing the imminent punishment, everyone had different expressions. Huai Mingmo and Ji Boru accepted it willingly; It was despair; only Ji Deqin was kneeling on the ground, staring at Ji Nianxian with his eyes full of indignation, while Di Feng knelt softly beside Ji Deqin all the time.

Mr. Ji pointed to Di Feng's maid, "Help your young lady up quickly."

Ji Nian moved his jaw slightly, and did not object, and only after the servant girl helped Di Feng sit aside, he said coldly: "Do you know your mistake?"

Ji Deqin said impulsively, "I don't know what's wrong with my son."

"Nizi, you don't know your fault for disobeying your elders." Ji Nianxian was so angry that he swung the porcelain cup on the mahogany coffee table with his backhand, and the shards scattered everywhere, cutting the hem of Ji Deqin's clothes.

The old man Ji died early, and his elder brother was his father. Ji Nian punished his younger siblings early on, so he had already figured out his elder brother's temper.Ji Sushan was even more emotional and reasonable, not only saying that the children should be the masters when they grow up, but also said that the Chinese New Year is approaching, and now they are punished so heavily that they all bear the pain during the reunion dinner and are seen by the old lady No, I came up with a lot of reasons anyway.

"Forget it, you go to the ancestral hall to kneel for an hour, think about the wrong place." Ji Nian was angry at first, but now he calmed down a little, seeing that the juniors in front of him are all adults, he felt that he was much older, and it was time to let go of some things .

Nanny Chang came in a hurry outside the house, waiting tremblingly.Mr. Ji swept his eyes, turned to look at Di Feng, seemed as kind as before, and seemed to be on guard against her, "This happened today, you have many things to decide in your yard, go back with the mother first. The strife between the few of their children just now caused chaos if they cared about it, and the key points are very common, so you don't have to worry about it."

Di Feng helped the maid to get up, looking obedient, and said to Mr. Ji: "Nephew and daughter-in-law don't worry."

Ji Sushan held his chin and looked at Di Feng with a smile that was not a smile, and looked at Di Feng feeling guilty, and lowered his head uneasily, "There are few people in your courtyard now, but you can come here quickly? Why don't you ask your second aunt to help and relieve you? burden."

The tip of her nose moved slightly, and Di Feng hurriedly said: "Don't worry about my second aunt, there should be no problem with Nanny Chang helping me." She refused hurriedly, she smiled lightly to hide her emotions, "If I am too busy, I will definitely go If you ask Second Aunt or Third Aunt for help, you will never be polite."

Since she said so, the others had no objection, so they let her go.

The specifications of the ancestral hall often depend on the meritorious service of the ancestors of the family. For a century-old family like the Hermitage Villa, the ancestors are beautiful and the family has a long history, which is not comparable to a small family.The ancestral hall of Ji's family is the size of the second entrance. The deep and solemn lobby has high pillars and beams. It is extremely cold in this deep winter, and the winter wind blows like a knife, making people shiver.

After receiving the news, Bai Zhaorong was well aware of his elder brother's temper, and was so distressed that he secretly asked the nurse in the yard to send four thick futons and a large fur robe.Ji Nian first heard the news and came to ask, this Bai Zhaorong was as thieves as her husband, so she gave a lot of excuses, Ji Nian heard nothing to refute, shook his head and left, and couldn't help saying at the door: "A loving mother often loses her son."

Xu Sheng handed over a bottle of Yuhan Pill to the boy in the courtyard, and asked him to quietly deliver it to Xin Li, without explicitly stating what was in the bottle.Xinli got the medicine bottle outside the ancestral hall, and after hearing the boy tell him that Xu Sheng had sent him to bring it, he immediately sneaked into the ancestral hall and asked the people inside to take it.

There was no one else around, and the people outside the wing room were sent away, so Xu Sheng couldn't help but turn black, "What a grandson's daughter-in-law."

"She seems to want to put her subordinates to death."

Xu Sheng sneered, "It's not about you, the person she really wants to kill with a knife is me."

Clutching the hilt of the sword tightly with her white hand, Chen Xiang snorted shortly, "Stealing chickens is not enough to lose money, she is so aggressive, but she leaked herself out, causing a whole body of sheep."

Putting the backs of his palms together in front of his lips, Xu Sheng said slowly: "She has been married for more than half a year, and she can fool everyone's eyes, which shows her ability. If she doesn't care about it today, it may be the order to die from someone behind her. It made her lose her sense of proportion."

"Why does Huiji Lianxin do this?" Chen Xiang was never afraid, just now he was silent in the hall, only thinking about the reason.

Xu Sheng put it bluntly: "Naturally, she can't move me with some small tricks. She has spent so much trouble just trying to turn me against the Ji family and force me away from the Hermitage Villa."

Chen Xiang seemed to have a clue and murmured in a low voice: "What is she going to deal with at the Hidden World Villa?"

Xu Sheng flicked Chen Xiang's head with his fingertips, picked up a pen and scribbled a few strokes on the special letter paper, and then rolled up the letter paper and handed it to Chen Xiang after it dried, "Fly the letter to Wuxue Academy, the matter of the scholarly family, They are very well-informed." He took up a few more strokes, like weapons, and put them away after washing them, Xu Sheng turned around and said: "It's like a hidden world villa. Who will be invited to Mrs. Ji's birthday?"

After years of exposure, Chen Xiang's mind was already sharp and lively, and she immediately understood, "She intends to deal with the martial arts people and the forces in the court who have made good friends with Ji's family? Taking advantage of Mrs. Ji's birthday, when everyone's vigilance is low?" Chen Xiang replied again. Shaking his head, he said, "It shouldn't be. If there is such a big turmoil, the imperial court will definitely investigate. She is not afraid that Emperor Meng will be furious and investigate thoroughly. There is no guarantee that she will not be found out."

Xu Sheng fiddled with the extremely growing dwarf pine leaves on the table, with a cold light on the edge of the sword in his eyes, he sneered and said: "The bone is in the throat, if she can really succeed, Emperor Meng may be angry on the surface, but who knows behind the scenes?" How will you steal the fun?"

"Isn't it better that Emperor Meng doesn't remember Ji's family?"

"Since ancient times, kings have been so ruthless, no one can get out of this cliché." Xu Sheng was a little tired, twisted a piece of handkerchief, covered his face with a wet cold handkerchief for a while, then cheered up and said, "Notify Ayu, let me check The truth about Di Wang's illness and death."

Chen Xiang wondered: "Why didn't the landlord directly expose this Di Feng? It seems that the Di Wang family must have died at her hands, so it doesn't matter if you don't investigate."

"Did you see the way those members of Ji's family looked at Di Feng today?" Xu Sheng couldn't help but ask, and before Chen Xiang could answer, he said to himself: "They were obviously disappointed in Di Feng, but they didn't doubt her after all. I have a false identity. I want to express my doubts hastily, and empty words are not easy to convince the public. It is better to press it first, and wait for the evidence to be found, and she will catch it when she strikes, so as to save me a lot of trouble."

Confused, Chen Xiang said with a cold face: "Those few who don't have the eyes to listen to make trouble, do you want to keep it?"

Xu Sheng said coldly: "Kill." Staring at the bamboo forest outside the house, he said with concentration: "Send someone to Yizhuang along the way to ask if you have received the corpse of an unnamed female around 17 years old. If you have, go and check it out carefully. Check your identity."

Chen Xiang smiled mischievously with interest: "Don't worry, the landlord, after finding out the identity, I will let them put the body at the door of Di's house. It's a pity that there is no insider, otherwise I will drag the insider to cry."

"An insider, isn't Nanny Chang just one?" Xu Sheng pondered, "But it's not easy to pry her mouth open."

"A traitor killed my young lady. It's really strange that Nanny Chang didn't say a word."

Xu Sheng reckoned and said: "The young and old are held in the hands of others, even if she wants to talk, she has to be scruples." He clicked his tongue irritably, "Find out Nanny Chang's family members, and after making sure they are safe, send her a message in private. This matter should be done as soon as possible. Once Mrs. Ji's birthday banquet is over, regardless of the fake Di Feng's identity Whether or not the incident is revealed, the family will not have a chance to survive."

Chen Xiang looked at Xu Sheng with his chin on his shoulders, revealing the charming look of his daughter, "The landlord has taken care of all the troubles of the hidden world villa, and is not afraid of tiring himself."

Turning a corner to ridicule himself, in the past, he would not dare to borrow Chen Xiang's courage.Xu Sheng looked at Chen Xiang for a long time, he knew the crux of the matter in his heart, and couldn't help but want to trip Xin Li up.When Xu Sheng was thinking about it, there was an impatient knock on the door, Chen Xiang rolled his eyes impatiently, put his hands on the table to support himself, walked to the door angrily, opened it forcefully, and was almost hit in the face by his knuckles.

Fortunately, Xin Li reacted quickly and stopped his swinging wrist in time, so that he didn't hit Chen Xiang's face.When Xin Li saw Chen Xiang, he was as relieved as if he could see the sun through the clouds, and his expression changed immediately, "Is your host in there?"

After a moment of silence, an invitation came slowly from the room, "Come in and tell me."

Chen Xiang didn't move when he heard the sound, he stared straight at Xin Li and refused to let him in like a door god standing in front of Xin Li.Xin Li was not in a hurry, raised his eyebrows and stood in front of Chen Xiang, suddenly took half a step forward, almost touching Chen Xiang's nose.Chen Xiang was startled and staggered two steps back, but fortunately, Xin Li had quick eyes and hands to hold her back, so as not to fall on her back.

"You..." Chen Xiang shook off Xin Li's hand, and wanted to speak again, but didn't know what to scold, so he squeezed out two words, "Rogue."

Xin Li kept his original appearance, bent over Chen Xiang, and said, "Miss Chen Xiang redeemed her sin. I was blocked just now, and I really had no choice but to do it as a last resort." The former son was still laughing, but suddenly he felt a glow behind his back. Stinging, turning his head with his neck stiff, he saw Xu Sheng smiling at him, making people tremble.
