Chapter 24 No shortage of masters (4)
On the solemn and solemn face of the abbot, there was a look of intolerance, and he repeatedly chanted the Buddha's name, "Tanyue, you committed murder in the pure land of Buddhism." Looking at Qingque, his eyes were full of compassion.

"Buddha can sacrifice his life to feed a tiger." Qingque's voice was clear and crisp, "Rabbits also have Buddha nature, so they are willing to sacrifice their lives to feed me."

The abbot stared at Qingque for a while, then calmly gave an order, "Please Tanyue go to the small Buddhist hall to repent of his sins, and only give him a bowl of water every day, for three days."

Saminy's eyes lit up, and he agreed loudly.

You can run out of that deserted place, the small Buddhist hall is guarded, you can't fly without wings!
The eyes of the abbot and the monk fell on the little girl in front of him.The abbot's eyes were compassionate, and the novice's eyes were excited.

The little girl stood proudly, with scorching anger shining in her clear and beautiful apricot eyes, "Please tell Shen Mo, if I see her in the future, either she will die or I will die!"

Samini was dumbfounded, "You, how dare you do that!"

Support the forehead.Mrs. Shen, this is not a concubine in your family who is ready to be slaughtered. With her appearance, if she stepped on the Hot Wheels and wrapped around the Huntian Ribbon, she would be a Nezha!Rebellious!
The sunlight came in faintly, falling on the corners of the little girl's eyes and eyebrows, her face was bright and inviolable.

At this moment, a nun stumbled over and ran over, "Abbot, something is wrong!" The monk rolled his eyes, stood up hurriedly, and shouted: "What a big deal, such a panic!"

The abbot said indifferently: "A monk must look like a monk, Huijing, I have been a teacher for many years, and you are still so careless."

A nun named Huijing burst into tears, "Master! A large number of officers and soldiers have come from outside the nunnery and surrounded us! Officers, they are all officers!"

The abbot was shocked, and he didn't care about his solemn and solemn appearance. Huo De stood up and said sharply: "This nunnery abides by the law and is kind to others. How could it be surrounded by officers and soldiers? Do these warriors even dare to blaspheme the Buddha? "

Huijing cried and fell to the ground, "They arrest everyone when they see them, and turn their swords at each other if they resist! Not only did they arrest us, but they also refused to let go of Mrs. Cao who lived in the nunnery and the Tanyue people. My disciples were already scared to death. , Master, go out quickly and be the master for us!"

The gate of the courtyard was violently pushed open, and a group of soldiers Xiong Jiu came in high-spiritedly, "Who is the abbot? Get out!" This group of soldiers held shining sharp knives, they were sturdy, swift, shrewd and capable.The leader was holding an Xiuchun knife and wearing a flying fish suit, which was actually a Jinyiwei's attire.

The abbot was inexplicably horrified.In such an unknown and remote place as Dabei Nunnery, you can visit Tiqi and Jinyiwei in flying fish suit!She managed to regain her composure, and came out to salute with her palms together, "My lord, this poor nun has no anger, and I am the abbot of this Great Compassion Nunnery."

The leader in the flying fish suit glanced at her indifferently, waved his hand, and immediately two captains ran up and tied the abbot behind his back.The abbot struggled instinctively, "My lord, this nunnery has always devoted itself to the Buddha, accumulating virtue and doing good deeds!"

One captain kicked her hard, and another captain skillfully covered her mouth to prevent her from making loud noises and disturbing her superiors.The leader ordered, "I will be held in isolation and interrogated later." The captain took the order and pushed the abbot away.The abbot felt pain in his body, panicked in his heart, burst into tears, and staggered.

"These two nuns will be imprisoned together. This little girl..." The leader was about to give an order when he was stunned.Although this little girl is young, with snow-white skin and picturesque eyebrows, she is really a beauty.Such a child, what a pity.

The leader walked up to Qing Que step by step, knelt down and looked at her carefully, as if looking at a piece of goods.Qingque met his gaze and smiled sweetly.

The leader also smiled, "Little sister, come back with me. I will guarantee you good food and spicy food, and a lifetime of fine clothes and fine food."

"Okay." Qingque smiled, "If my great-grandfather is willing, and my great-grandfather is also willing, I will go back with you."

The leader smiled slightly and asked, "Who is your great-grandfather, and who is your great-grandfather?" After the words came out, it was a little strange, shouldn't great-grandfather and great-grandfather be the same person?
Qing Que tilted her head and thought for a while, "My great-grandfather, others call him 'Guo Gongye'. As for great-grandfather, others call him 'Master Ge' or 'Master Shangshu'."

The leader's expression changed, and he looked at Qing Que with piercing eyes.Qing Que smiled ignorantly at him, "I originally studied with my great-grandpa, but because Mrs. Ning Guo fell ill, I was sent to this nunnery."

"Go and check this little girl." The leader ordered.If this is really a girl from Duke Ning's mansion, even if her status is embarrassing and she hasn't recognized her, she won't be able to do so.Not to mention that she is still studying with Mr. Wei Ge, so there is no hope.No matter how tyrannical Jin Yiwei is, no matter how much he uses it in the name of performing official duties, he can't be fooled by such a child.

The captain promised to leave, when a group of people dressed as yamen servants poured in from the courtyard gate, and the one walking in the front was a well-mannered middle-aged man, wearing a black gauze cap, a tunic collared shirt, and embroidered 鸂鹒 on the shirt.

"Xiayi County Magistrate Li Yifan, I've seen a messenger." The middle-aged man was extremely gentle and polite.

The leader's name is Hu Zhong, a member of the Fusi of Jinyiwei North Town, a thousand household, and a fifth rank.Because the cases investigated and handled by Fusi of Beizhen were directly reported to the emperor, no matter where they went, the local officials would respectfully call them "shangchai" and "imperial envoys", and dared not neglect them.

Hu Qianhu glanced at County Magistrate Li, "You came quickly." County Magistrate Li smiled and said, "The officials just received a secret report saying that there are thieves hiding in the Great Compassion Temple. Don't hide it from your superiors. The lower officials were originally here to capture the robbers."

County magistrate Li greeted Hu Qianhu with a few words, waved at Qingque, called her to his side, lowered his head and asked gently: "Little girl, what's your name? Oh, you are Qingque, the elder of the pavilion. Elementary school student? I have admired your name for a long time, and you have admired your name for a long time."

Qingque laughed happily.This uncle is really interesting, he said he admired me for a long time.

County magistrate Li led Qingque, and politely told Hu Qianhu, "This is the little girl that Ning Guogong entrusted to Mrs. Yang Ge to take care of. Because Mrs. Guogong's wife is ill, I come to the Buddha to eat fast and chant Buddha, and pray for Mrs. Guogong. Yes. The superior officer clearly learned that she has only been in the Great Compassion Nunnery for a few days, and she is an ignorant child, so she must have nothing to do with the important case that the superior officer handles."

The matter has come to this point, Hu Qianhu can't say anything more, looked at the little girl who is smiling like a flower, and reluctantly said: "If that's the case, you can take it back and return it to Mr. Ge Boss."

The county magistrate Li thanked him, and begged Mrs. Cao and other family members of the country gentry who were to be imprisoned.Hu Qianhu snorted angrily, "These ignorant women! Those who have husbands and sons can live in a nunnery instead of a comfortable home. In this case, let them stay for two more days. "Hearing this tone, County Magistrate Li heaved a sigh of relief in his heart, and agreed with a smile on his face, "It's absolutely right! It's absolutely right!"

The county magistrate Li didn't dare to ask what case Hu Qianhu came to investigate, he just asked people to give, and things to give, and everything was obeyed.As for the family members of the country gentry who were imprisoned, it was just some filial piety sent by the family, and they could go back in full.

After finishing business, County Magistrate Li didn't dare to stay, so he politely bid farewell to Hu Qianhu, turned around and left with Little Qingque in his hand.Hu Qianhu looked at the little cute figure, and felt itchy in his heart.But thinking about Elder Yang Ge and Duke Ning Guo behind her, I had no choice but to suppress the thoughts in my heart.

Qingque walked to the door, stopped suddenly, turned her head to look at Hu Qianhu, her big dark eyes were full of innocence, "When I came in just now, the abbot and the novice were talking about summer fish. I understand, but what does Xia Yu mean? If the mission sees the abbot and the novice, please ask for me."

County magistrate Li smiled at Hu Qianhu apologetically, "Tongyan is Wuji, Tongyan is Wuji." Hu Qianhu's eyes lit up, he strode up, pulled Qingque over and asked carefully, "Xiayu, are they really good?" Did you say summer fish?"

Qingque smiled flatteringly, showing a mouthful of small white teeth, "Yes, Xia Yu. On business, Xia Yu, is it a summer fish?" Hu Qianhu laughed, "Yes, it is a summer fish." There is nowhere to find shoes, and it takes no effort to get them.

Hu Qianhu ordered without doubt, "The county magistrate, please do as you please, this little girl will stay first, it will be of great use." Li County magistrate complained in his heart, but he did not dare to say goodbye to the imperial envoy who was entrusted with the imperial order, so he could only laugh Said: "That's it, the lower officials also stay here. One is to listen to the orders of the Marquis, and the other is to live up to the entrustment of the boss and protect Niu Niu."

"It's up to you." Hu Qianhu snorted and walked away.

"Niu Niu, what are you doing with this extra sentence?" County Magistrate Li squatted down and sighed softly, "If you don't say this extra, we will have already boarded the car and sent you back to Yangji."

Qing Que blamed herself, "It's all because Niuniu is talking too much. My lord, why don't you send someone back to Yangji to talk to Grandpa, just say that it's getting late and the road is not easy, so I have to come back tomorrow. "

County magistrate Li laughed, "Small man, you're thoughtful. I'm done, I'll listen to you." Sure enough, he ordered someone to send a letter to Mr. Yang Ge at Yangji, but he didn't say a word about the surrounding Dabei nunnery , "Stay in nunnery for one night, and send Niuniu home tomorrow."

A captain from Jinyiwei came over and pointed to County Magistrate Li a courtyard on the west side, "Master Qianhu, please rest here." County Magistrate Li lived in the west wing and placed Qingque next door.

Everyone in Jinyiwei was busy, either imprisoning prisoners, sending letters to and from, or preparing beds and meals for the boss, without stopping for a moment.The servants of the county government office were not idle either, and followed along to do odd jobs.

After nightfall, there was a sudden scream, which was particularly disturbing to hear in this silent night.County magistrate Li had already gone to bed, but when he heard it, he pounded the bed and sighed, "It's so cruel!" Then he thought of something, hurriedly took off his shoes, and walked to the next door.

On the bed, Qingque lay quietly, with two red clouds on her little face, sleeping soundly.County magistrate Li was also relieved, "Fortunately, Niuniu wasn't woken up." He walked out lightly.

I don't know if Jin Yiwei stopped the torture or blocked the prisoner's mouth, but no screams were heard after that.County magistrate Li lingered for a long time and went to bed to rest.Said it was a rest, how could I sleep, I dreamed and dreamed all night, and finally I was frightened awake, and I woke up covered in cold sweat.

When County Magistrate Li fell asleep, Qing Que was busy.The reason why she tried every means not to leave was nothing more than worrying about Juechi and compassion, especially compassion.Xinci put up orders in the nunnery, if he was also captured by the officers and soldiers, it was not for fun.

Qing Que woke up, tiptoed out of bed, dressed and went out.She is not familiar with the terrain of the nunnery, but she is bold and cautious. Seeing two school captains holding a hot supper, she secretly followed. "Hu Qianhu and Deputy Lu Qianhu are both in a hurry. Hurry up and don't delay." The two captains were talking in their mouths, and there was wind under their feet.Qingque quietly followed them to a secluded courtyard.

The captain enters the wing room, arranges the meals, and exits respectfully.In the wing room, the sound of eating and drinking could be heard, Qing Que looked around vigilantly, and saw no one around, so she went to the window lightly.

"...Don't say anything now, let's see how long she can last!" It was Hu Qianhu's voice vaguely, "Little girl has heard about Xia Yu, how dare she deny it? Brother Lu, come have a drink !"

"Here." Another man's voice sounded very rough, it should be that Deputy Lu Qianhu, "The little girl is ignorant, so I heard Xia Yu. Actually, it is clearly Xia Yu!"

"Our brothers are going to make meritorious service again!" There should be only two people in the room, toasting to celebrate.

Qing Que listened patiently for a while, while listening, while paying attention to the movement at the gate of the courtyard.The two people in the room were bragging, nothing more than being promoted to an official position, and being so majestic.

"In my opinion, the Virgin of the White Lotus is really in Xiayi!" Hu Qianhu spoke loudly, "You think, she disappeared 30 years ago, right? Xiayi came out." The world-renowned General Dragon and Tiger, when did he become famous?"

Qingque's heart became entangled.

"You said Qi Baoshan." Deputy Lu Qianhu said with a smile: "Don't say it, it's really interesting. Qi Baoshan was born as a commoner, and the eight generations of his ancestors were all digging in the soil. How come he can Joined the army, made many military exploits, and won every battle?"

"It's useless." Hu Qianhu disdainful, "No matter how hard you can fight, you won't flatter the peak, and you will end up with such a result? He was fighting the Northern Yuan cavalry in the front, and someone in the back easily picked him up. He has done a great job. He, at the end of his life, is also making wedding clothes for others, idiot."

There was wild laughter in the room, and Hu Qianhu and Deputy Lu Qianhu laughed together and said, "Idiot, idiot!"

Qingque's blood was about to freeze, and her fists were clenched tightly.

"Those women, the families send filial piety, and if the amount is considerable, they will be sent back." Hu Qianhu confessed, "As for the nuns, regardless of whether they are old or young, they must not be let go! Be careful!"

Deputy Lu Qianhu smiled and agreed, "Don't worry! I won't do anything else. I'm a good hand at extorting confessions by torture!" Hu Qianhu laughed, "You boy, don't let the beautiful little nun make you unable to walk. Son, I was so confused, I missed a big deal." Deputy Lu Qianhu sighed, "I really wanted to, but none of them were good-looking! Grandma's, every one of them looked like they were picked out of a coal pile, and they were so dark." Inside the house The two laughed wildly again.

"It seems that the fairy has not been caught." Qingque was slightly relieved.

A hand rested silently on Qing Que's shoulder, Qing Que's heart sank, she lowered her body cleverly, and lightly jumped aside.Looking around, a young man stood there with a half-smile, not Juechi, but who?
"Master!" Qing Que didn't dare to call out, opened and closed her small mouth, and mouth-shapedly called "Master", jumping for joy.Jue Chi twitched his lips, picked up the bird, moved his body, and left the yard.

Dodging Jin Yiwei's patrol, Jue Chi took Qing Que out of the Great Compassion Nunnery and arrived at an abandoned thatched hut.Jue Chi whistled lightly, and after a while, Xin Ci also walked in.

"I don't worry about you, so I didn't leave."

"I don't worry about you, so I didn't leave."

The three spoke almost simultaneously.After speaking, they looked at each other and smiled, feeling warm in their hearts.

"I'm going back to Yang Ji tomorrow, otherwise grandpa will be worried." Qing Que said regretfully, "Master, fairy, what are your plans?"

Juechi pondered and said: "The imperial court obviously got the information and came to search for the ancient sword. If the search for the Great Compassion Temple fails, Lingquan Temple is nearby, so it is inevitable that we will not be affected. We all have to avoid it. If we want to go back to Qian In Foshan, I'm afraid that the officers and soldiers on the road will interrogate monks and nuns, which will be inconvenient."

Xin Ci still had lingering fears, "Except for me, all the novices and bhikkhunis in the nunnery have been imprisoned! I'm afraid Jin Yiwei Minger will find out that one person has been leaked. At that time, the investigation was even stricter."

"Actually, this is easy to handle." Qing Que came up with a bad idea, "You just hide and raise your hair, won't you be successful? Master, fairies, regardless of gender, it's better to have hair."

Juechi smiled, "It makes sense." Xinci patted her, "What do you think about all day long in your little head? Tell me if you have something to do, you want me to grow my hair."

Qing Que was confident, "Of course I want to grow my hair! My mother has long black and shiny hair, flowing and moist, like satin." Xin Ci was angry and funny, and caught her to spank, "Nonsense!"

After a while of laughing and talking, it was settled: Juechi and Xinci managed to leave that night, hid in a remote place, and slowly raised their hair.Qingque went back to Yangji, and if he wanted to meet in the future, he would be in Yangji.

"Inner strength needs to be practiced every day, don't slack off, do you know?" Before parting, he kindly confessed to the little apprentice, "If I don't work hard, I won't sleep with my arms around you in the future!" The little apprentice nodded repeatedly, "Fairy, I will work very hard. hardworking."

After discussing it, Yiyi said goodbye, Juechi picked up Qingque on his back, and sent her back as before.

When he woke up the next morning, County Magistrate Li was thinking about leaving.Hu Qianhu asked Qing Que to confront the abbot and novice, but County Magistrate Li politely refused, "They must be completely different now, right? I was entrusted by Master Ge, if Niu Niu was frightened, I would have no face to confront Master Ge On a business trip. On a business trip, Niu Niu is so small, it’s just a child’s talk, but what’s the use of it?”

Qing Que looked at County Magistrate Li and Hu Qianhu. They were innocent and ignorant.

Hu Qianhu thought about the current appearance of the abbot and the novice, then looked at the little girl who looked like a flower in front of him, and waved his hands annoyedly, "Go, go!" County magistrate Li hurriedly led Qingque away as if he had received an amnesty.
