Chapter 134 Pujiu Temple

"What kind of logic is this?" Chai Bao frowned and said, "How can you be sure that the thief is a monk? Couldn't the thief mislead you?"

Pei Ji was about to explain to Chai Bao, when Li Xiuning saw that Chai Bao and Pei Ji were arguing, she pulled Pei Ji, and said to Chai Bao, "Since Director Chai thinks there is something wrong with our clues, why don't we break it up? , you check yours, we check ours."

Chai Bao glanced at Li Xiuning, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, Mr. Li, isn't it normal to have different opinions when discussing issues? Isn't it right for everyone to express their opinions? After all, thieves are cunning, so it's better to be cautious."

Li Xiuning shook her head, "We at least have a direction, and you're questioning us without even a direction, but it's unreasonable. If your Chai family's behavior is like this, you and us really don't have an affair, so let's just say goodbye. "

Chai Leopard said, "I'm just afraid that this direction is wrong. Isn't it a detour and a waste of time. You must know that saving people is like putting out a fire, and there is no delay."

Seeing that the smell of gunpowder between Chai Bao and Li Xiuning was getting stronger and stronger, and they might break up before the city gate came out, Li Shentong hurriedly stood up to smooth things over and said, "Everyone is here to rescue the kidnapped thief." Girl, if you can't argue here now, wouldn't it be a joke for the thieves?"

Chai Bao and Li Xiuning looked at each other, and Li Xiuning read the playfulness in Chai Bao's eyes. Could it be that he was really sure that Li Pingyang was Li Xiuning?What kind of look is this?When you leave the city, you have to part ways with them. The longer you stay, the easier it is to be exposed.

Li Shentong said to the guard behind him, "Open the city gate, I'm going out of the city."

The guard responded, hurriedly greeted the defenders who had just closed the city gate, and pushed the winch to pull the city gate open.

"How many have horses?" Li Jiancheng asked the crowd.

Pei Ji shook his head, "The horses are all in the inn, and Xiyongqing Temple is only five or six miles away, or half an hour's journey."

"Time is precious, and a moment should not be wasted." Li Jiancheng said, and then told the guards behind him, "Leave the horses behind, and then go to the Yuelai Inn in the west of the city to retrieve them."

Several guards looked embarrassed, Chai Bao took a step forward and said, "If this horse is lost, you can come to Yuelai Inn to find my Chai family steward and pay three times the compensation."

When the guard heard the triple compensation, he immediately got off his horse with a smile on his face, cupped his hands at Chai Leopard, and happily returned to his command.

Several people got on their horses and galloped all the way along the official road. In less than a stick of incense, they saw a temple built on the top of the plateau in front of them. The pagoda, the wind blows through the bells hanging under the eaves of the pagoda, making an ethereal and melodious sound.

Chai Leopard drove his horse close to Li Xiuning, coughed, and said, "Mr. Li, do you know what this place is called?"

Li Xiuning frowned and said, "How do I know? It's my first time in Puzhou, and I'm no better than you, a snake in the east of the river."

Chai Leopard smiled, "This place is called Emeiyuan, and the temple above it is called Xiyongqing Temple. It was originally the lower courtyard of Yongqing Temple in Luoyang. It fell into disrepair for a long time. Until a few years ago, my Chai family invested in the renovation of this temple."

Li Xiuning looked straight at Chai Leopard, "Director Chai, do you want to say that this place was built by your Chai family, and then use it to show off your Chai family's wealth? I'm not interested in these things. Your Chai family can't get rid of the suspicion of hiding evil and evil people."

"Mr. Li was joking. I just want to tell Mr. Li that recently I discussed with the abbot of this temple and wanted to change the name of this temple." Chai Bao laughed, "I think Pujiu Temple is good."

Pei Ji listened to the conversation between Chai Bao and Li Xiuning, and interjected, "Universal salvation, universal salvation, salvation of the world, crossing the world, the teachings of Mahayana Buddhism you mentioned in Pingyang complement each other, and Director Chai also understands Buddhism?"

Chai Leopard looked at Li Xiuning, and Li Xiuning, who had been watching it all the time, felt hairy, so he smiled and said, "It's just nonsense, I don't know much about Buddhism, but I have heard a story, but it is very novel."

When several people heard the story, they all pricked up their ears, and even Li Jiancheng showed great interest.

"A family member of a deceased minister of the imperial court helped the spirit to return to his hometown and stayed in a temple. In the temple, there was a scholar who was going to Beijing to take the exam. The scholar met a young lady, and he was astonished for a moment. , and brought people to the temple to snatch it."

"The deceased minister's wife said in desperation in front of all the monks and scholars in the monastery that those who retreat from the bandits can betroth the young lady to him."

"The scholar's brother-in-law is a general of the imperial court, and he is stationing troops not far away. The scholar is secretly happy, so he wrote a letter, his brother-in-law led the soldiers to kill the thief under the horse, and the siege was broken."

Chai Bao paused at this point, "If things go according to normal, the madam should betroth the young lady to the scholar, but the young lady and her cousin have already made a marriage contract, so the madam intends to regret the marriage, and let the young lady and the scholar marry Jinlan. "

When Li Jiancheng heard this, he sighed, "I'm sorry for this poor pair of mandarin ducks. This lady is also a dishonest person. Meeting such parents is the misfortune of the young lady, and also the misfortune of the scholar."

Chai Bao smiled and continued, "In fact, everyone did not expect that the scholar and the young lady had long been secretly in love. After the scholar and the young lady got married to Jinlan, they were so depressed that they got lovesickness."

"Infatuated people are always no match for reality." Li Jiancheng sighed again.

Li Xiuning watched Li Jiancheng and Chai Leopard sing together, and his teeth itch in his heart, Bishamon, wait a minute, what kind of love do you know about love, do you really think my old lady doesn't know what story Chai Leopard is telling?This is testing my wife.

"Your Majesty really hit the nail on the head." Chai Bao laughed, "The matter can actually come to an end here, but if it ends like this, it can't be called a good story."

"Although the scholar fell in love with him, he didn't know that the lady had a secret heart for him. Hearing that the scholar was depressed and sick, he was very anxious, so with the help of his maid, he met the scholar in private. Mu Ai's age, coming and going, has a secret connection with this scholar."

Li Jiancheng spat suddenly and said, "This young lady is really not a thing. She has a marriage contract and flirts with others. How did this minister's tutor teach her? She is dissolute and promiscuous. If I were her father, I would really You have to crawl out of the coffin angrily."

Pei Ji and Liu Wenjing nodded in agreement, "His Royal Highness is right, but this woman's behavior is really indiscreet, and the reputation of the late Dacheng has been ruined by her."

Chai Leopard was a little dumbfounded for a while, you said so, how can I continue my story?This completely deviates from the core of the story I am going to tell, not to say that the story of The West Chamber is suitable for all ages, but why everyone's attention is directly diverted.

Li Xiuning on the side laughed a little, Chai Bao, you said that there is no market for love that breaks through feudalism in this era, and the version of The West Chamber is not suitable for this era. market, but Wang Shifu's "The Romance of the West Chamber" is a bit earth-shattering.
