Daming: Mixed in Dangzhi County, Beiping

Seeing this, the boatman quickly said: "Everyone, I heard about this too. Just listen to it, don't take it seriously!"

"Yes, yes, I'll just listen to it at will!"

The eyes of all the boat passengers flickered and they said repeatedly.

As for what he thinks in his heart, it is unknown.

……

Simultaneously.

These rumors also appeared in some tea shops, restaurants, and even street vendors, and everyone talked about them enthusiastically.

In less than half a day, conspiracy theories and rumors about the assassination of Fa Miao, the abbot of Tianxi Temple, spread throughout the capital.

Inside Fengtian Temple.

With a dark look on his face, Zhu Di asked Zhao Hu in front of him: "Are you sure that this rumor was really spread by someone sent by Marquis Dinghai?"

Zhao Hu nodded firmly, "Your Majesty, Marquis Dinghai has no cover at all!"

"Humph, what a child!"

A trace of helplessness flashed in Zhu Di's eyes.

Below, Zhao Hu secretly murmured in his heart that he was just being petty and wanted to retaliate directly and unabashedly.

Zhu Di asked again: "How did that person react?"

Zhao Hu quickly replied: "Reporting to Your Majesty, there has been no movement since sending his youngest son away..."

After saying that, Zhao Hu thought for a while and couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty, please forgive me. A guard in Jin Yi saw someone from his house leaving the house before.

However, those Jin Yiwei followed for a few streets and actually got lost! "

"Lost?"

Zhu Di's expression narrowed slightly, "Jin Yiwei can still be embarrassed?"

"The humble minister is incompetent, please punish him."

Zhao Hu was ashamed and knelt down to apologize.

Zhu Di ignored it and continued: "The person in the house is a master?"

Zhao Hu's face was full of determination, "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, Wei Chen has once again sent dozens of additional captains to that person's house. Even if there are a few more masters like that, they won't be able to escape!"

Zhu Di nodded slightly and asked again: "How is the progress in Fujian and Jiangsu and Zhejiang?"

Speaking of this, Zhao Hu looked happy.

"Your Majesty, I just got the news an hour ago that we have captured a few tails in Fujian and Jiangsu and Zhejiang. We will catch them soon!"

"Very good!"

Zhu Di's face brightened.

"The matter concerning Abbot Fa Miao must be investigated as soon as possible!"

Zhao Hu said: "Your Majesty, now that rumors are spreading all over the capital, the monks at Tianxi Temple don't dare to stop him anymore!

Tomorrow, Wu Zuo will definitely be able to find out the cause of Abbot Dharmiao's death! "

Zhu Di warned again, "Then send people to guard the bodies of Wu Zuo and Monk Fa Miao, and don't let those thieves take advantage of the loophole!"

Zhao Hu had a solemn look on his face, "Your Majesty is wise, and I also feel that this night must be the last chance for those thieves.

Wei Chen has laid a dragnet inside and outside Tianxi Temple, waiting for them to get in! "

"Ok!"

Zhu Di nodded slowly, finally feeling relieved.

……

After Zhao Hu left the palace, he took another two hundred school captains directly from the Jinyi Guards and went to Tianxi Temple.

This night is also the best opportunity for their Jin Yiwei.

The cause of death of Monk Fa Miao must be abnormal.

It was getting dark.

The entire Tianxi Temple was shrouded in darkness and fell into silence.

Inside and outside Tianxi Temple, hundreds of Jinyi guards were secretly hiding.

Zhao Hu, several Jinyi guardsmen, and monk Faxing stood in the main hall where the body of Abbot Famiao was parked.

In the hall, there were more than ten monks sitting, chanting sutras and praying for Abbot Dharmiao.

"Amitabha!"

Monk Faxing could no longer bear it anymore. He recited the Buddha's name with a sad face and said to Zhao Hu.

"Commander Zhao, it's almost the first watch. Commander Zhao should go and rest for a while!"

"No need!"

Zhao Hu shook his head solemnly, "Tonight, there must be no accidents."

Monk Faxing said: "Commander Zhao was overly worried. Abbot Famiao passed away out of shame, and there was no conspiracy by any thieves!"

"Really?"

Zhao Hu stared at Fa Xing closely.

Fa Xing had a sad look on his face, "A monk never lies!"

Zhao Hu smiled coldly, "How do you explain the matter of Ding Haihou?"

"Amitabha!"

Fa Xing's expression changed slightly and he saluted Zhao Hu, "In that case, it will be up to Commander Zhao. It's so late at night, so the monk should go and rest first!"

"No need!"

Zhao Hu died directly in front of Fa Xing, "It's so late at night. It's not safe for Master to go out for a walk alone. Please rest in this hall!"

"Commander, what does this mean?"

Fa Xing looked at Zhao Hu.

Zhao Hu was not afraid at all and said quietly: "I just asked Master Fa Xing to rest in this hall for one night!" Fa Xing stared at Zhao Hu for a long time and sighed helplessly.

"Amitabha!"

Immediately, he found a futon aside, sat cross-legged, closed his eyes and chanted sutras.

Seeing this, Zhao Hu and others didn't pay much attention.

but.

The chanting in the hall was so loud that their heads hurt.

However, the body of Abbot Fa Miao does not allow for any mistakes, and those damn thieves have not come yet.

Zhao Hu and all the imperial guards couldn't help but start thinking in their hearts.

However, they had been waiting all night, and everyone was exhausted. The sky in the distance began to grow gray and bright, but there was still no movement.

A trace of disappointment flashed in Zhao Hu's eyes.

The Dharma monk on the side didn't know when to open his eyes.

"Amitabha! The sky has begun to get brighter, Commander Zhao should be relieved!"

"Brighten?"

Hearing this, Zhao Hu was stunned.

Immediately, his eyes widened and he looked outside fiercely.

Outside the palace, it is indeed very bright, dazzlingly bright!

"Are you in the water?"

"Go away!"

The surrounding military captains suddenly woke up, yelled, and ran outside.

"Quickly put out the fire!"

All the monks who were chanting sutras also got up and ran outside.

Outside the hall, there was chaos.

Zhao Hu was just about to run out, but he remembered something and looked to one side.

However, Monk Faxing was still sitting on the futon without any panic at all.

Monk Faxing looked helpless, "Amitabha, why does Commander Zhao doubt this poor monk so much?"

"Humph!"

Zhao Hu snorted coldly, "I have already led people to closely monitor Tianxi Temple. I didn't expect that there are still monks in Tianxi Temple who can set fire. How can I not be suspicious?"

"Sin, sin!"

Dharma Xing sighed softly, closed his eyes and chanted the sutra.

"Come on!"

Zhao Hu shouted towards the outside.

"Commander!"

The two captains ran over quickly.

"You and others will keep an eye on Abbot Fa Miao's body and do not touch it. If any accident occurs, move the body immediately!"

"As ordered!"

The two captains immediately greeted their subordinates.

"Commander!"

At this time, another captain walked over quickly.

Zhao Hu asked: "What's the matter?"

"Commander, if the fire is bigger, it will spread to this hall. In addition, my subordinates also found the body of a monk in that hall!"

"Monk corpse?"

Zhao Hu stared closely at the captain.

Dharma also opens his eyes.

The captain nodded slowly, "Return to the commander, it seems that the monk burned himself to death!"

Zhao Hu's face turned cold, "Huh! Check!"

"Yes, Commander!"

The captain responded quickly.

"In addition, send people to watch all the halls around this hall to prevent anyone from setting fire to it again!"

"As ordered!"

The captain took the order and walked out.

However, before he took two steps, his expression changed drastically.

Behind the hall, red light began to glow and black smoke came out!

Zhao Hu couldn't help but grit his teeth, "What a thief!"

"You quickly bring someone with you and roll Abbot Fa Miao's body to one side. If the fire doesn't go down, move it with the body!

Remember, no monks are allowed to get close to the body of Abbot Fa Miao!"

"Yes, Commander!"

The captain quickly went out to call for help.

But at this moment, there were shouts and sounds of putting out fires outside again...

However, the previous fire had already consumed more than half of the physical strength of the monks and guards in the temple.

The most important thing is that the water stored in the temple is also completely consumed.

Therefore, this fire is getting stronger and stronger!
