Poor monks do not break the precepts

In less than a day, the massacre of the people in Quanxi Town quickly spread throughout the Jianghu. The killing of the powerless people was the most despised by the Jianghu people. enter.The magistrate of Jian'an is fighting fiercely at this time. Although there are three suspects in his hands, the powerful and royal relatives are involved, and neither of them is easy to offend. .

It turned out that after Xu Sheng gave the order that day, Chen Xiang immediately asked A Yu to do it. A Yu and his subordinates claimed to be merchant slaves, and immediately went to the county government of Quanxi Town to report the case. Going to the Jian'an government office, the magistrate learned about the situation early the next morning.The people in the yamen hadn't left Jian'an yet, and someone from the other end came to report the same case. A Yu pointed out that the person was the murderer. When such a big case was brought to the court, he would be ordered to solve the case within a time limit. Now that the murderer came to his door, the magistrate Overjoyed, I didn't ask the identity of the visitor at all, and made dozens of boards first.

The man thought it was Huai Mingmo who came in person, but when he saw Ayu identifying him, he didn't realize it for a while, so he received those punishments for life, and was thrown into prison in a blink of an eye.

But the magistrate’s urgent letter to the court was only half written, and the Tongzhi came with a jade pendant, and the person imprisoned in the prison was actually a close aide of the fourth prince, King Wen. come out.He was punished for no reason, and the visitor was also annoyed, but he thought that it was not appropriate to offend the imperial court officials because of the task, so he didn't take it seriously, only said that he came.

The magistrate originally thought that Ayu's slander must be the murderer, but he heard that the person sued Ji's family, this time it was completely false, and he couldn't afford to offend both sides.Later, it was the idea of ​​the acquaintance around him, saying that both parties should be locked up together, and that they should be treated well in prison. Such a big case, involving powerful people, will definitely go through the Dali Temple, and the three divisions will interrogate it. Maybe there will be trouble. In front of the imperial court, it is better to take the person first and let the emperor arbitrate him, and then take off his official hat to make an apology after the matter is settled.

Only three days after the letter was sent, Xiang Qing came to Jian'an, entered the city gate, and immediately went to the government office.Xiang Qing is the former commander of the imperial court, his status is not ordinary, this magistrate once served in the Imperial Academy, knew him, and immediately invited him in.

The two exchanged a few words of greeting, and Xiang Qing cautiously said: "Old brother, to tell you the truth, I was ordered by Concubine Wan to secretly investigate a criminal who committed all kinds of crimes. This thief claimed to be under King Wen and committed crimes everywhere. He killed people for fun. A few days ago, I happened to pass by Yong'an Village, and saw that thief wanted to attack, but unfortunately he escaped. Hearing about the case in Quanxi Town yesterday, I rushed here. I don't know if there are any This number?"

When the magistrate heard this, he clapped his hands quickly, and nodded his head like pounding garlic, "Brother Xiang came at the right time. There is really such a person in the prison, and he still slandered that the third son of the Ji family did it."

Xiang Qing looked serious, and quickly said: "Hurry up and take me there, this man is cunning, don't lose him."

This matter involves the Ji family, King Wen, and now it is also related to Emperor Meng's favorite concubine. For the prefect, it is not an exaggeration to say that the prison is a hell on earth.He immediately took Xiang Qing there, and when Xiang Qing saw this man, he yelled: "Thief, can you escape this time?" Immediately, he punched him.

The man only thought that Xiang Qing's eyes were familiar, but he didn't think of it for a while, and saw Xiang Qing's attack again, and he returned it without thinking much.The magistrate of Jian'an saw that this man did not know Xiang Qing, and his martial arts was strong, so he believed Xiang Qing's words more and more. When the two were fighting, A Yu took out his dagger and stabbed the man, and Xiang Qing took advantage of the pain of the man. When he was in a state of mind, he punched his pulse and he was killed on the spot.

The next day, the Criminal Department was in a hurry at [-] miles, and the decree came. Unknowingly, Emperor Meng learned about the incident in Quanxi Town, and he was furious, but the strange thing was that no one knew, and how could he know who the murderer was? He said that he would cut the dead man in half and hang him at the entrance of the vegetable market in Jian'an as a warning.

The news reached Xu Sheng that day, and everyone was resting by the spring, this Feishu exploded like a drop of water falling into a frying pan.

Huai Mingmo chuckled and said, "This time Meng Yinghuan has suffered from being dumb."

Xinli read Jia Banxian's letter, laughed loudly, and said cheerfully: "Yesterday Meng Yinghuan took off his crown and went to the palace to plead guilty, claiming that he has no virtue, that's why he was used to commit crimes."

Xu Sheng ate the loquat that had been peeled and pitted by Huai Mingmo, the corner of his mouth was full of sarcasm, and he snorted coldly: "He is plotting against others, shouldn't others be plotting against him?"

Huai Mingmo said worriedly: "You let him break a confidant, so you don't worry about taking revenge? When the time comes, these accounts will all be on your shoulders."

After several days of rain, it cleared up these two days. The sky was as blue and clear as it had been washed, and the sun was warm on the body. The sound of the flowing spring blends with it, as if playing music in harmony.

Xu Sheng was in a great mood, he shrugged his shoulders disapprovingly, and washed his hands with clear spring water, "How many times has Meng Yinghuan assassinated me? You have bumped into me twice, what else can I do?"

Luo Chen always counts pennies and pennies, and when he heard Meng Yinghuan easily escaped, he was really angry, and transferred his anger to Xu Sheng, "You shouldn't let him go so easily."

Huai Mingmo drank in a low voice, Xu Sheng didn't care too much, so he didn't say much.There was a look on his face, but he was really at ease in his heart. He read the letter carefully, and suddenly said, "Where is the news from Emperor Meng?"

Xu Sheng pressed Huai Mingmo's lips lightly with his finger, and said with a light smile, "The wall has ears."

Before the words fell, countless poisonous arrows were suddenly shot out from the forest. Seeing this, Chen Xiang pulled out the red rainbow sword and cut off the first few arrows. The others reacted a moment later and drew their swords to fight. He didn't show up, just kept shooting arrows at them, the arrows rained down, and the situation was very critical.

Standing at the end, Xu Sheng looked sharply into the depths of the forest, and said in a cold voice: "They are deliberately procrastinating to consume our energy. Let's go!"

Flying for more than ten miles with lightness skills, the group of people behind him did not come after him, and after flying for another ten miles, all the people stopped and stopped.Xu Sheng's hands trembled violently, and he barely stood with his back to everyone, propping up the tree trunk. His viscera throbbed with colic pain, his true energy rushed forward, his throat was fishy and sweet, he bent over and coughed several times, bleeding came out .

Huai Mingmo quickly supported him, and called Chen Xiang urgently, but he felt warm liquid falling on his hands, "I'll take you to the doctor."

Luo Chen asked in shock: "What's the matter?"

Xinli pushed away Luo Chen who was blocking the front, walked to Xu Sheng's side in two big strides, felt his pulse a little bit, and frowned tightly, "His injury hasn't healed, and forcing his kung fu will only add insult to injury."

Xu Sheng grabbed Huai Mingmo's arm, wiped the sweat on his forehead with his sleeve, endured the severe pain, and said in a calm tone: "I'm fine." His teeth were chattering when he spoke, and he was not very convincing.

Chen Xiang's ice sculpture-like face was extremely difficult to express. She squatted beside Xu Sheng anxiously. Ever since she entered Wuzhi Building, no matter how difficult the training, she had never had red eyes, let alone shed tears. .When Mr. Bianji was around, Xin Li often got close to him and told a lot of stories about Chen Xiang, so he knew the importance of being born to her.

Xinli carried Xu Sheng on his back resolutely, and said impatiently: "I will send Xu Sheng to the town to find a doctor, Chen Xiang, please protect my pavilion master." Everyone knew in their hearts that the target of the assassin just now, whoever follows Xu Sheng is to bring trouble On the upper body, Xin Li was so desperate, Chen Xiang was particularly moved.

"Wait." Xu Sheng stared at the cloth bag on the ground and felt familiar, patted Xin Li to put himself down, pointed at the cloth bag, and barely said a few words, "Chen Xiang."

Chen Xiang bent over to pick it up, opened it and only smelled a smell of medicine, took it in and it turned out to be two pills.

Huai Mingmo has smelled this medicinal smell since he was a child, and he is very familiar with it, "Is it still dew alchemy?"

Xu Sheng didn't have the strength to say unnecessary words, so he said weakly: "Give it to me." He took out the pill with shaking hands, intending to take it dry, when he touched his chubby hands under his elbow, Zang Li didn't know when he used the rolled leaves to fetch the water .

After taking the medicine for a long time, Xu Sheng's complexion did not improve, but his breathing became much calmer. After waiting patiently for an hour, everyone saw that Xu Sheng's expression gradually calmed down, and they did not tighten their brows in pain before, and their hearts were slightly lifted. After falling, he regained his composure, and then remembered that all the carriages and carriages had been left in the wilderness, and he ran in a panic just now, and couldn't remember the route he came from.

It is not a problem for them to change their belongings, but once they go to the town to change their clothes, they will inevitably leak their whereabouts, but by walking, others can travel hundreds of miles a day with light work, but Xusheng's body can't hold it, let alone ask him to use it again Internal strength, even if they take turns carrying him forward, their bones can't stand the toss, so even if Xu Sheng insisted, they just shook their heads and refused.With Huai Mingmo standing in front of him to stop it, no one else needs to waste their words, Xu Sheng only has to compromise.

Luo Chen kept pacing around the people, and when he was about to faint, he suddenly clapped his fists and said, "At night, Xin Li and I will go and look around, maybe we can find the carriage."

Xinli kicked him suddenly, and growled: "Bad idea, if someone is guarding there, if you find them, won't you attract them? Or they are searching the mountains to find us now, what do you think?" It's safe for me to go away, if unfortunately, they find the pavilion master, are you tired of work?"

After about half a cup of tea, Luo Chen said again: "Then let's go back, the end of the Canglang River is not far from the Lianqi Mountains, where shall we find a solution?"

"It's all right, whichever side is cool, stay there, I can't count on you."

Huai Mingmo focused on Xu Sheng, worried, followed the two of them chatting beside him, not listening to a word.Chen Xiang never left Xu Sheng even an inch, staring at the surroundings like eagle eyes, with murderous looks in his eyes.As for Zang Li, she was still a child at heart, she was not afraid of anything, she just sat on the big rock with her chin in a daze.

"Go north." Xu Sheng said anxiously, took a breath of cold air, covered his mouth and coughed for a while, "If I'm not mistaken, this is Wuzhi Building to the north, as long as you enter the influence area of ​​Wuzhi Building, you don't have to be afraid of them. "

Chen Xiang carefully looked at the surrounding environment, she was not too familiar with it, but she was not unfamiliar, she vaguely remembered that she had been here before, she nodded slightly to Xu Sheng after confirming.

Huai Mingmo embraced Xu Sheng, let him sit on his own as much as possible, lightly pinched Xu Sheng's face, and revealed the hidden danger that he was about to rot in his stomach, "You can imagine, those assassins didn't expect it, this time The road to Wuzhi Building must be full of dangers, are you going to die?"

"Let Chen Xiang go one step earlier, just go a few miles further, take the pod and let it go, and the black face will come." Xu Sheng had the best way to control Huai Mingmo, and his tone softened a little, "In the building of ignorance There are still a few Jade Qiongsheng, with those, I can recover sooner. Besides, everyone has no other better way at the moment, staying here for a long time is just waiting to die, how about trying?"

Knowing that Xu Sheng was using words to prevaricate himself, but hearing that Yu Qiongsheng was beneficial to Xu Sheng, Huai Mingmo was still tempted after all. After thinking about it for a while, he didn't think of other countermeasures, so he had no choice but to nod, but he also made repeated agreements with Xu Sheng , Xu Sheng was determined not to hide his internal injuries, and not to bear it for the sake of rushing.

They traveled day and night, and the three men took turns carrying their backs, thinking they could use this to get rid of the killers chasing after them, but the successive killers were like endless leeks, waiting in front of them.

Xin Li bent over and used a branch to poke the weeds near the root of the tree, carefully looking for the mark left by Chen Xiang, "Pavilion Master's side."

Quietly bypassing the killer who was facing away from them, the howling wind in the valley just covered the last trace of their footsteps, and they walked a few steps away. After the sound, there was a sudden burst of fighting. fight.

Huai Mingmo carefully put down Xu Sheng, waved Xin Li to take a look, then turned to Zang Li and said, "Xiao Li, go find some water."

Zang Li took care of Xu Sheng very attentively, responded happily, and turned around to complete the task hard. When she came back, she happened to meet Xin Li who had come back from Tong, with a smile on her face. Dusty, with sunken eye sockets like an evil ghost, but the whole person is full of energy, shining brightly in the rays of the sun.

"Hey, how did you become like this?" Hua Xinglou suddenly jumped out from behind the tree, squatted down and looked around.

"You came in time enough to see me for the last time." Xu Sheng whispered while covering his stomach.

Hua Xinglou patted his forehead, clearly taking the opportunity to bully him, raised his eyebrows triumphantly, and asked for credit: "You talk to the savior like that? I knew you were a dark-hearted, ungrateful Xiaoxiao."

Xu Sheng was too lazy to talk to him, he looked around, with a little worry in his words, "Where is Chen Xiang? Why didn't I see her."

Zang Lipidian followed Xu Sheng, pointing to the northwest with his chubby arms, and said sweetly: "Sister Chen Xiang brought people to surround the people in Hehuanzhai. I just came back from fetching water and happened to meet She, she said she would come over later." Seeing that Xu Sheng's face was pale, his breath was more out of breath than his inhalation, he was a little weak, after thinking about it for a moment, he generously took out the apricot plum candy that he had kept privately from his pocket, and handed it to Xiaopang In front of Xu Sheng, "here, here you are."

Xu Sheng didn't like sweets very much, so he stroked Zang Li's forehead and coaxed, "Open your mouth." Then he picked up the sugar and stuffed it into her mouth, "I'm not hungry, eat by yourself."

Zang Li clapped her hands happily, took a few sneaky glances at Xu Sheng, saw that he was often looking in the direction where Chen Xiang was, and said with a smile, "I'll help Sister Chen Xiang." Just look at the fancy-dressed man in front of him pointing to the northwest.

After being attacked by Wuzhi Building and Shui Wu Palace, He Huan Zhai was quickly defeated, and the casualties were very serious. Most of the people in He Huan Zhai were taken captives, and there were few loyal subordinates. The defeat was obvious, and some people wanted to take advantage of the chaos. Escape from Hehuanzhai's control.

Huaxinglou has always loved to watch dramas. He leaped onto the tree trunk and stretched his neck to look at the fierce fighting around him, "Hey, they are killing each other. You can see how fiercely they kill their own people, compared to the appearance of soft-legged shrimps when killing the enemy." powerful."

Huai Mingmo didn't like to fight and kill, so he felt disturbed by the noise around him. He picked up Xu Sheng and wanted to go north. He turned to Luo Chen and said, "Go and prepare the carriages and horses. Do you remember the inn run by Li Niang? Come and meet us there." Meet." Holding Xu Sheng's hand tightly, he tentatively said: "Shall I go with you first?"

"Okay." Xu Sheng gripped the ink on his back, and said in a very low voice: "You don't believe me... You hate killing, so you think I'm bloodthirsty."

Slowly let go of his hand, he smiled a little, felt a little hurt, and raised his jaw slightly, "Yes, that's my temperament. When I was five years old, I met Lianxin Huiji. She claimed to be my mother and approached me. Over the years, she She only gave me a dagger, which she threw to me when I was being chased by birds of prey, and then told me that I had to rely on myself to survive. When I first took control of Wuzhilou decades ago, I was not a criminal. But Lianxin Huiji threatened me when she knew my identity as a incense thief. After cooperating with her, I thought it would be peaceful, but in the end, I was attacked again and again. I don’t want to get blood on my hands, but what can I do, there is only one way to survive You can go, God didn't give me a choice."
