At dawn, the two of them came back as expected, went to the public toilet to untie the two yamen servants, and rubbed the two mud balls from their bodies¡ªthe two ran all the way, they hadn¡¯t bathed for a long time, and there was a lot of mud on their bodies¡ªone Divide one and let them eat it, saying it is poison, if the incident of last night is revealed, the two of them will die of poison if they don't give the antidote.
The two yamen servants were so frightened, they carefully served Monk Wutian and Monk Rongxin. They went back to the Prison Temple and went to the market to buy four drawers of steamed stuffed buns. .
Monk Wutian and Monk Rongxin had just finished eating the buns when they saw Catcher Li and a group of yamen servants arriving one after another.
"The magistrate of the county is coming to court today, you two young monks, come with me." Catcher Li said to the two of them, while speaking, he gave the two yamen servants with dark circles a strange look.
Monk Wutian and Monk Rongxin glanced at each other, did not speak, and followed him out of the Prison Temple.
Arriving at the lobby, Zhang Hulu, the magistrate, was already sitting behind the official case. The yamen servants on duty have already stood in two rows in the hall.
Seeing that Monk Wutian and Monk Rongxin had arrived, the yamen servants shouted "mighty¡ª" and struck the ground three times with the water and fire sticks in their hands.
"The two criminals have been brought here, please take a look at the magistrate!" Li Butou reported in court.
"Go down." Kong Mu, the secretary behind the side case, ordered Liu An.
Li catcher bowed and retreated.
"Who is next? Why don't you kneel down when you see the county?" Zhang Hulu shouted to Monk Wutian and Monk Rongxin with a drake voice.
"Mighty¡ª¡ª" the yamen servants shouted again, and hit the water and fire sticks three times.
"The poor monk and the outsider only kneel to the Buddha and Bodhisattva, please forgive me." Monk Wutian clasped his hands together.
"Boldly, fork it!"
Zhang Hulu shouted loudly, pulling the drake's throat.
The four yamen servants rushed up like wolves and tigers, grabbing shoulders, tripping legs, trying to knock them down, but they didn't move at all.
The four yamen servants couldn't help getting angry, and picked up the water and fire sticks and beat them on the legs.
Monk Rong Xin suddenly yelled, and the four yamen servants stood there dumbfounded, unable to move.
Monk Wutian said: "What are you doing, my lord? The two poor monks are only here to assist in the investigation, and they are not prisoners. Could it be that my lord wants to use lynching indiscriminately?"
"Let's just do it well, don't provoke the Buddha!" ??Although Xin Rong's voice was clear and clear, the murderous intent in his voice was not to be underestimated
Zhang Gourd saw that it was too tough, rolled his small eyeballs, twirled a few yellow beards that were sparse under his jaw, and coughed twice, "You don't back down, you two are so good monks , the lower official is blind."
The four yamen servants just came back to their senses at this time, and they had to retreat resentfully after hearing what the county magistrate had said.
"Your Majesty invited two eminent monks here today to ask about something." Zhang Hulu had seen how powerful Monk Rong Xin was, so he spoke politely at this moment.
Seeing that he was being polite, Monk Wutian clasped his hands together and said, "Master, you are being polite. If you have any questions, you can ask. The poor monk will definitely tell you everything."
"There is no difficult question." Zhang Hulu rolled his eyes and paused, "I dare not ask, where did the two eminent monks come from, where did they become monks, and where did they place orders?"
"The poor monk and others came from Prajna Temple in Songshan Mountain. The Xia'an residence has passed. This time, I came down the mountain to alms for alms and practice. I didn't sign up for the temple."
"Oh? What proof do you have?"
"There is a degree certificate as evidence."
"Submit it."
Monk Wutian had no choice but to take out the certificate from his bosom. Seeing that Wutian had already taken it out, Monk Rongxin took out the certificate after a moment of hesitation.
Two yamen servants came up, and one of them took an ultimatum and sent it to the official case.
Zhang Hulu took a look at the paper, then raised his head to look at Monk Wutian and said, "In this way, you are Monk Wutian?"
Monk Wutian clasped his hands together and said, "It's the poor monk."
Zhang Hulu looked at Monk Rongxin again and said, "You are Monk Rongxin."
Monk Rong Xin said expressionlessly: "Yes."
It turned out that the admiral had written down the age and features of the two in detail, so Zhang Hulu could distinguish the two when he saw the ultimatum.
Zhang Hulu blinked his mouse eyes, twirled his yellow beard and said again: "When did the two eminent monks leave Songshan Mountain, and how many prefectures did they pass all the way to Bi County?"
"How do we remember this?"
Monk Wutian stopped Monk Rongxin from opening his mouth and said, "The poor monk is waiting to leave the Song Dynasty.It was late June, and I had passed too many state capitals to remember clearly. "
"Oh, do you have any relatives or friends in Ji County?"
"not at all."
"Are there any famous mountains and ancient temples near Bi County?"
"This, forgive me for being ignorant and ignorant, I don't know."
"Where were you the night before yesterday?"
Monk Wutian and Monk Rongxin could not help but glance at each other.
"Did the magistrate ask you something?" Kong Mu, who was recording the sixth case, shouted when he saw that the two did not answer.
"Going back to my grandfather, the poor monk waited on the road all night, and he was on the road that night."
"Oh? You guys are rushing all night, but what's the rush?"
The two looked at each other again.
"This, please forgive the poor monk for not being able to speak clearly."
Zhang Hulu didn't speak, and looked at the two quietly.
After a while, he snorted coldly and said, "You two monks, the incoherent words are obviously ulterior motives, my lord, I have already seen the evil, so hurry up and recruit them!"
"Why did my grandfather say that?" Monk Wutian said slowly.
"Come on, take it for me, and serve me with great punishment!" As he said, he pulled out a stick from the stick holder and threw it on the case.
The yamen servants knew that the two monks were difficult to deal with, so they rushed up with water and fire sticks and beat them head-on and face-to-face.
Monk Rongxin lightly and skillfully grabbed a yamen servant's water and fire stick and pushed it horizontally, and a group of yamen servants on his side fell in all directions.
Monk Wutian didn't see much action, and he had already stood behind a group of government servants on his side.
After completing these two actions, the two of them stood there in a leisurely manner.
The yamen servants came back to their senses, and rushed forward again with all their teeth and claws.
Monk Wutian winked at Monk Rongxin, and the two pretended to resist for a while, but they were caught by the yamen servants.
When Zhang Hulu saw that the scene was very chaotic, he had already shrunk behind the official case and was ready to run away at any time. Seeing that the two were caught, he couldn't help becoming proud again, and shouted at the throat of the male duck: "Catch it!" Hurry up, don't let them get away!"
He then slapped the gavel on the official case, "Wu those two wild monks, do you want to recruit or not?"
"What if you do it, so what if you don't?" Even though his arms were grabbed by two yamen servants, Monk Wutian still looked relaxed. , always unable to grasp firmly.
"If you are recruited, you can avoid the pain of flesh and blood, if you don't recruit, you will be recruited!"
"Excuse me, my lord, what crime have we committed?"
"The murder of three members of Li Tietou's family will fall on you today!" (Remember the website of this site: www.hlnovel.com
