Reincarnation of the powerful minister

The capital, west of the outer city, Lingguang Temple.

Shen Qi brought her subordinate Shi Yanshuang and several Jinyi guards, dressed as ordinary pilgrims, and followed the crowd into Lingguang Temple.

The main hall of Lingguang Temple has three floors. The first and second floors are the Heavenly King Hall and the Daxiong Hall. They have carefully inspected and found that under the guidance of the monks' eloquent tongues, the common believers not only spent money to buy incense and burn worship, but also very enthusiastically. Those who donate incense and fire money, and those who are particularly pious, use gold foil to stick the whole body of the Buddha statue in order to pray for the protection of the Living Buddha.

The strange thing is that after so many years of pasting gold leaf, the Buddha statue does not necessarily become bloated, but only dazzling golden.

Shen Qi guessed that the gold leaf on these Buddha statues would be scraped off after a while, and finally entered the pocket of Master Jiyao.

A blatant money grab.

However, even if the gold is found, it is difficult to become conclusive evidence, and Jiyao may use the deception of "turning a stone into gold" to fool everyone.But the common people are still deceived by it, and they might be angry at Jin Yiwei who revealed the truth because they are afraid of the "living Buddha's punishment".

Shen Qi always acts after planning. Once she makes a move, it will be an extremely sharp and vicious killing move. She will never give the opponent a chance to breathe and counterattack.

So just this charge is not enough.With an indifferent expression, he left the Daxiong Hall with his men and walked towards the third hall.

The third hall is dedicated to Songzi Guanyin, which is said to be extremely effective.In the past two or three years, all the long-married and infertile women in the capital have come here to burn incense and pray for an heir.After fasting and praying, you can have dreams, such as dreaming of red light falling to the ground, Guanyin giving off a child, and Arhat in your arms, etc., you can pray for a man to get a man, and pray for a woman to get a daughter.

Shi Yanshuang said to Shen Qi in a low voice: "I have inquired from the pilgrims, and they all said that when the Lingguang Temple was first built, it was just an ordinary Buddhist temple. Since Master Jiyao became the abbot three years ago, such a holy miracle has descended. Many people directly call him the 'Avatar Living Buddha' in private."

Shen Qi sneered: "If he is really a Buddha, then come and feed this vicious tiger like me!"

A few people walked into the Guanyin Hall, and saw a tall Guanyin statue enshrined in the hall, holding a baby in its hands, and a golden boy and jade girl standing at its feet, but there was no gold and colorful decorations around it, and it was very clean.The statue of Avalokitesvara is carved with kind eyebrows and kind eyes, with a little red cinnabar on the center of the eyebrows, which adds a bit of romantic meaning to the dignified appearance of the treasure.

Most of the people who came to burn incense in the temple were female guests, accompanied by their parents, husbands or servants.They are a few bachelors mixed in, it looks a bit dazzling.

A fat monk came over and saluted with palms together: "Tanyue is asking for a son? You need to bring your family and ask for it in person, so that it will come true."

"I really want to seek a child." Shen Qi smiled, "It's a pity that my family is thousands of miles away. Even if I bring them here, I'm afraid that if I worship this Guanyin master a hundred and eight thousand times, I won't be able to give birth to a boy and a half girl."

The fat monk was taken aback, and advised: "Don't be so discouraged. Tanyue is so young, and his wife must not be too old. As long as he is healthy and healthy, come to this temple to ask for an heir, and there is nothing you can't ask for. If you are sincere, you will be wise."

Shen Qi shook her head and did not answer.Seeing his arrogance, the fat monk chanted a Buddhist name and walked away.

On both sides of the Avalokitesvara Hall are the descendants' halls, each with about a dozen clean rooms, which are somewhat similar to the guest houses next to the Daxiong Hall.Shen Qi and the others wanted to go over to have a look, but they were stopped by the monk at the entrance of the hall, saying that only female guests could enter, so they had no choice but to give up.

Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly saw a familiar figure in front of the Guanyin Hall, Shi Yanshuang said, "Isn't that... Jia Yushi?"

Shen Qi saw that it was indeed Jia Gongji, the right censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, dressed in casual clothes, standing side by side with the host Jiyao, talking while walking.He dodged to the back of the vermilion lacquered pillar nearby, and eavesdropped on the conversation between the two.

"...The most inspirational thing is to hear that your temple is praying for an heir. My wife has not given birth for many years, and this year she will be forty. Will she still have an heir?"

"Buddha loves all living beings, sincerity leads to spirituality, why not give it a try, Lord Yushi."

Jia Gongji: "Can I pray for an heir?"

Jiyao: "If the censor asks for an heir, he only needs to burn incense and pray in person, and his wife fasts in the Yamen, and it will come true."

Jia Gongji: "I have heard that women who come to ask for an heir should be devout, fast for seven days, pray in front of the Buddha, and then rest and pray in the clean room of the Sons and Sun Hall after obtaining the Holy Spirit, and then they will be able to have children. Do you need to pray by yourself?"

Jiyao: "Your Majesty Yushi is an official appointed by the imperial court. Wenqu stars descend to the earth, so how can you compare with ordinary people. With this noble aura, you can connect with the world as long as you have sincere thoughts in your heart. Naturally, your wife does not need to pray for dreams."

Jia Gongji said "Well", as if he believed it, he burned incense and bowed three times to the statue of Guanyin who sent his son, and asked, "Is that all right?"

Jiyao said: "If your wife is not pregnant after three months, and you fast for another seven days, your lord will still ask for prayers."

Jia Gongji always felt that it was too hasty, so he thought about it, and said: "If the seeking of an heir this time fails, I might as well let my wife come to the hall of descendants to pray for her dreams. It's just that it's not convenient for the wife to stay overnight in the monk's temple." ..."

Jiyao knew that he was worried about the defense of men and women, fearing that his wife's reputation would be damaged and people would gossip.But this matter involved the reputation of Lingguang Temple, so he explained: "The clean room of the descendant's hall is tightly surrounded, like a seamless egg, and no one is allowed to come and go. Before the woman enters the room, she sends her husband or servants first, Check the surroundings clearly. A quiet room can only accommodate one woman, who enters the room to pray for dreams at night, and relatives and servants sleep outside the door to guard. This is very appropriate, and the person who seeks an heir has never questioned it."

Jia Gongji nodded: "It's really easy."

Jiyao asked back: "Master Yushi doesn't believe in poor monks?"

"The master is an eminent monk who has been approved by the Queen Mother himself. He is full of spells, so how can I question it?"

Jiyao clasped his palms together and said with a smile: "Then listen to the poor monk. It is enough for the adults to come and pray. If the venerable wife still wants to come to pray for dreams in the future, I hope the adults will inform the poor monk in advance. Husband and wife feel connected with Master Avalokitesvara."

Jia Gongji was overjoyed and thanked him again and again.

Shen Qi winked at Shi Yanshuang and the others, and quietly walked out of the Songzi Hall and Lingguang Temple.

Back in Beizhen Fusi, Shi Yanshuang couldn't wait to ask: "Could it be that this Jiyao really has the ability to make Goddess Guanyin appear? I always feel that there is something strange...but I can't tell where it is."

Before Shen Qi said that Jiyao's tricks to deceive his eyes were broken, and his aura of "a monk who attained the Tao" in his mind faded a lot. Now that his rationality gradually recovered, he began to become suspicious.

After careful consideration, Shen Qi said: "If there is anything strange, it is in that clean room."

As if he suddenly remembered something, he smiled slightly, his stern expression softened a lot because of this smile, like a brook after melting snow, with a little spring in the cold."Someone taught me a word called 'fishing law enforcement,'" he said.

"Fishing law enforcement?" Shi Yanshuang asked, "Who taught it?"

"My wife."

Shi Yanshuang showed a look of astonishment: "When will your lord..." Marry a lady?He didn't dare to ask the second half of the sentence.

Marrying a wife is a happy event, but it is also a private matter. If the Shangguan was willing to make it public, he would have already arranged a banquet for them to have a wedding banquet. If he kept it hidden like this, he probably didn't want too many people to know about it.He secretly speculated on the identity of this Mrs. Qian, and felt that it was either too lowly or too complicated. In short, it was unlikely to be a woman from an ordinary family.

...Wait, it could be a man too?

Although Shen Qian had never revealed his preference in this area before, after all, the current world is full of masculinity, and few high-ranking officials and nobles do not raise children in their homes, and there are often rumors of romantic affairs among scholars.

For example, the king of Yu, who was famous for wandering around the flowers, had affairs with many young officials in the court?The guards were contemptuous on their faces, and they said a few mean words of sarcasm, but they never really sued him and forced the emperor to punish him. Maybe they envied him in private, and it's hard to know how lucky he is!

Thinking about it this way, Shi Yanshuang looked at Shangguan with strange eyes, and quickly lowered his head, scolding himself: Stop!What kind of temperament is Shen Qilang, if he finds out that you are lusting after him for his flirtatious affairs, wouldn't he just peel off your back?At the same time, he couldn't help thinking about it, from the most popular young man in the brothel, thinking of some handsome Jinyi guards in Beizhen Fusi, to the courtiers and officials he had daily contact with.

But he couldn't figure out what kind of person could be favored by this Abang Rakshasa.

——Could it be a stunning beauty transformed into a snake demon and a fox spirit?Because he was worried that his identity would be exposed by the monk, so he urged Mr. Qian Shi to get rid of Jiyao?

Unexpectedly, Shen Qi's confidant was trusting the horse in his mind, picked up the teacup, took a sip, and ordered: "Tell the spies who often walk around in the market, go to the brothel to find two prostitutes, don't chase after them, be bold and careful, let them go It's open."

At this moment, Shi Yanshuang's mind is full of charming (yellow), ni (color), wind (waste) and moon (material), the first reaction is that the master wants to steal his mouth behind his fairy lady's back, out of the natural front alliance between men , Bluntly asked: "Is two enough?"

Shen Qi glanced at him expressionlessly, "That's enough."

"Don't worry, my lord, the humble job will be done properly." Shi Yanshuang made a guarantee, and hurried to find a smart spy, and after explaining in a few words, asked the other party to find a suitable candidate within an hour.

After the spies left, Shi Yanshuang suddenly realized: I forgot to ask Mr. Shen, do you want a prostitute or a male prostitute?

Going back and asking now would definitely make Shen Qi feel that he lost his composure and was incapable of doing things.Shi Yanshuang casually found a chair and sat down, and when the blood in his heart gradually subsided, he also figured out the way: Mr. Qian Shi is going to use these two prostitutes to fish for law enforcement, and he must be a woman. If the spies find a man... then I will insist that he misheard the order.

Facts have proved that there is no one who can be a Jinyiwei spy who is not as smooth as a ghost.

The spies found four people, two female prostitutes and two male prostitutes.

Prostitutes are plump and slender, plump is enchanting and coquettish, and slender is lovely.One male prostitute is tall and the other is petite, the tall one is like an orchid and a jade tree, and the petite one is like a jewel in the palm of your hand.

These four people are used to making a living by skin and flesh, and they can also go out on the field. Seeing an imposing adult sitting on the main seat, young, handsome and powerful, they were immediately elated, fearing that they would be snatched up by other colleagues, and they rushed to the top. Snuggle past.

One wants to hug the left arm, the other wants to hug the right arm, the other wants to hug the neck, and the other just can't squeeze it, because of its petite stature, it wants to sit on the lap.

Shen Qi's face turned green faintly, sharp knives seemed to fly out of Shi Yanshuang's eyes, and she slapped the embroidered spring knife on the table forcibly!

Tenteng's evil spirit rushed towards his face, and the four of them were so frightened that they collapsed on the spot and fell to the ground one after another.

"Shi Qianhu wants two male prostitutes to go to the temple to ask for a child? What kind of birth, butthole?"

When Shi Yanshuang saw Shangguan swearing, he was obviously really angry. He knew that if he uttered a wrong sentence at this moment, he would not wear his black gauze hat. He was quick-witted at the critical moment, and he clasped his fists and replied: "It's a humble job that doesn't think carefully. I thought that they could pretend to be two young couples, with the wife staying overnight in the clean room and the husband guarding the door outside the clean room.”

Shen Qi originally planned to call the two clever Jin Yiwei, who pretended to be the husbands of prostitutes, but after hearing Shi Yanshuang's explanation, her anger gradually subsided, and she said coldly: "They are not like husbands, but rather like faces raised by husbands."

The tall male prostitute didn't dare to say anything, but the petite one was more courageous, interjecting unconvincedly, "My lord, you can also use it in front of a slave, why can't you be a husband?"

Shen Qi showed him a bloody look, and the other party felt a chill in his crotch, and immediately fell silent.

Shi Yanshuang said anxiously: "These prostitutes are welcome to send, and those who can become popular are all good at observing people's words. Although our spies are smart, they inevitably have a murderous look. If they are spotted by those who know martial arts, they will attract people. Suspect."

Shen Qi thought about it, and felt that his consideration was a little reasonable, so she asked the two male prostitutes: "Are you really worthy of being husbands?"

The petite girl got up, and cleverly grabbed the slender prostitute's arm, with a concerned look on her face: "Honey, get up, the ground is cold, it's not good to sit for a long time."

The slender prostitute burst into tears and said: "Master, Nunu's stomach hurts, you should betray Nunu."

The tall one also reacted quickly, and also went to help the plump prostitute, with a graceful posture: "Lady, the road is difficult, you have to be careful with your steps."

The plump prostitute groaned and leaned on him: "Officer, you treat my family so well, my family will definitely give birth to a fat boy for you."

——They’re all comedians!If Su Yan was present, he would definitely sigh sincerely.

Shen Qi was also somewhat satisfied, so they all stood up, and after explaining things like this, she finally said: "If the matter can be accomplished, each person will be rewarded with 20 taels of silver."

The two male prostitutes were overjoyed to see that they could earn 20 taels a night without sleeping with clients.The two prostitutes thought, it’s just a matter of splitting their legs. On weekdays, most of the money from selling themselves is given to the bawd. There is nothing to be dissatisfied with.Besides, if he can help adults succeed, he will also accumulate evil virtue for himself.

So while the sun was still setting, the four of them dressed up meticulously, changed into good clothes, and put away their charming posture. They were really no different from ordinary couples, only they looked more beautiful than ordinary people.

Shi Yanshuang prepared bluegrass juice, gave them some incense money, and personally sent them to Lingguang Temple.
