This martial artist just wants to be an official

Chapter 222 The Strange Case

If I could do it all over again, I would definitely choose to be a good person.

Lu Yuanzhi came to the Yamen very early in the morning to order his meal.

Peiyinlang Yamen is a mysterious and terrifying existence in the eyes of outsiders, but when Lu Yuanzhi comes there, it feels like that.

After arriving at the Yamen today, Lu Yuanzhi noticed the difference compared to the past.

The eyes of his colleagues changed when they looked at him, and some even pointed at him from afar with admiration on their faces.

Lu Yuanzhi was naturally secretly happy that he was the center of attention wherever he went.

As usual, I went with Gong Yangdao and went to the morning court with Ji Xuan.

After accompanying Ji Xuan to the morning court and returning to the Yamen, it was almost noon.

Back in his bedchamber, Lu Yuanzhi suddenly remembered his promise to Princess Xiao Changle.

Fortunately, he had nothing to do, so he picked up the quill pen given to him by Song Yu, the Kewu Secretary, and wrote and drew on the paper.

Just when he was immersed in writing, a voice came to report.

"Lu Fengpei, someone is looking for you outside the door."

Lu Yuanzhi looked up and found that he was a civil servant who often visited Yinwu Hall.

"who?"

Lu Yuanzhi asked with a frown.

Is it possible that those people who came here because of his reputation were so bold that they dared to come to Pei Yinlang's Yamen to look for him?
"The man from Fa'an Temple said there is something urgent."

The clerk looked at Lu Yuanzhi respectfully.

Although the young man in front of him is just a Feng Pei, as long as he is not a fool with cerebral palsy, he knows that he will surely prosper in the future.

So it’s good to be respectful at this time.

"kindness."

Lu Yuanzhi frowned, a monk from Fa'an Temple?
What can happen to you?

"What about people?"

Lu Yuanzhi asked.

"Waiting downstairs, do you want me to call him up?"

"No need for me to go down and take a look."

It was just time for dinner, and Lu Yuanzhi was about to go downstairs to eat, so he happened to drop by.

"Yes."

…………

The two of them came all the way downstairs.

Lu Yuanzhi looked over attentively and saw a monk under twenty standing there waiting anxiously.

Lu Yuanzhi frowned when he saw the bald monk. He had no impression of this man at all.

"What are you looking for from me?"

Lu Yuanzhi looked at the monk and asked.

He saw that the monk's dress did not look like he came from the west. He should be a native monk of Fa'an Temple.

"The donor is Mr. Xiao Lu?"

Although the monk looked anxious, he did not lose his etiquette in the panic.

"it's me."

Lu Yuanshang stepped forward and took another look. He saw that the monk's feet were still stained with black mud. He frowned and thought that this young monk had just returned from the fields?
"Mr. Xiao Lu, this poor monk is here to ask for help."

The monk pursed his lips and glanced at Lu Yuanzhi, feeling somewhat uneasy.

He really didn't know whether Mr. Xiao Lu, who was famous in the capital, was an easy person to get along with.

"Looking for help from me?"

Lu Yuanzhi frowned slightly.

"Uncle Yingchen was sued to Dali Temple. He said that he and the donor were friends..."

The young monk gritted his teeth. He didn't even dare to look up at Lu Yuanzhi. If Uncle Yingchen hadn't said that he was friends with the Mr. Lu in front of him, he would not have dared to come to Peiyinlang Yamen to look for someone...

"Ok?"

Lu Yuanzhi's eyes moved slightly.

The young monk was sued to Dali Temple? ?

How could a boy who was not so clear-minded be accused of being sent to Dali Temple?
There must be something strange about it.

"what happened?"

Lu Yuanzhi looked at the monk in surprise.

"It's better to go and see with the poor monk..."

Anxiety appeared on the monk's face again. Buddhist disciples, if you really committed any crime, what kind of light will there be on the Buddhist face in the future?

"Hmm... OK, lead the way."

Lu Yuanzhi nodded, and he followed the monk directly out the door, riding his little green horse and galloping all the way.

In Lu Yuanzhi's view, the young monk's mind was indeed quite simple.

He just said that he and he were friends, but when he got into trouble he would come to his door...

can.

Simple little monk.

On the way, Lu Yuanzhi simply asked what was going on.

The monk told Lu Yuanzhi very clearly.

This morning, the two monks had nothing to do and were going to the drugstore to buy some medicinal materials.

After all, yesterday, when he was presiding over the three-question formation in front of the Buddha, the monk Huiquan was already exhausted, almost to the point of running out of fuel.

When I arrived at the medicine shop, I heard someone buying medicine to save a sick child.

When he saw the people coming to buy medicine, the young monk smelled something was wrong.

He felt the aura of Xie Chong in that person. As a monk, it is natural for him to kill demons and eliminate demons as his duty.

So I followed the man all the way to his home.

I wanted to kindly remind that person, but in Dayong, the reputation of monks is indeed not very good. In addition, Lu Yuanzhi just destroyed the Buddhist formation yesterday, which made the people of Dayong even less favorable towards Buddhist monks.

So people didn’t listen at all.

The young monk naturally had a sense of justice, so he sneaked into the family's home secretly.

Quietly, he touched the sick child's room.

Seeing the child, the little monk saw that something was wrong. It was obviously a deception. After breaking the deception, he discovered that the child was lying on the bed.

It's a terminally ill monkey that's about to die!

By chance, someone came to the room to consult the child, and they saw the young monk with a clear face in the room.

Just let the monk appear inexplicably. Then the family can't care about that much, but the problem is the child? ? ?
Where did the child go? ?

You tell this monkey lying on the bed that he is my child? ?

Go to hell! !
So... the family who couldn't find the child naturally sued the young monk to Dali Temple. . .

After Lu Yuanzhi heard this, his scalp felt numb.

It was obvious that the young monk himself was very troublesome.

Naturally, in this kind of matter, the young monk must prove that he has not touched other people's children in order to prove his innocence.

But... forget it, let's take a look at the situation first.

Not long after, the two of them arrived at the entrance of Dali Temple together.

Looking at the glorious and solemn gate in front of me.

But Lu Yuanzhi was not envious at all.

Because the door of Dali Temple is indeed far worse than that of Peiyinlang.

And isn’t the uncle the second-in-command of Dali Temple?
Why are you related to your uncle again?

Just when Lu Yuanzhi was doubtful, the monk led him into the gate of Dali Temple.

but……

As we all know, Ji Xuan and his uncle were mortal enemies, and the people in the court were eager to kill them.

And Ji Xuan is the head of Pei Yinlang.

The uncle is the head of Dali Temple.

Therefore, it is almost as if Dali Temple and Pei Yinlang are mortal enemies.

Lu Yuanzhi's black brocade and white jade suit was like a lamp in the darkness, so dazzling when walking in Dali Temple.

Although the two yamen secretly belong to different families, there are still some cases involved in the case, so it is normal for Lu Yuanzhi's black brocade and white jade to appear here.

Not long after, the two arrived in front of the court hall of Dali Temple.

"Bold maniac, you have all the witnesses and physical evidence, do you still want to quibble?"

As soon as he entered the door, Lu Yuanzhi heard a loud shout. "The poor monk is not guilty!"

The familiar voice of the little monk.

Lu Yuanzhi looked over.

I saw the young monk standing quietly in the hall. Isn't it my uncle who is sitting in the hall?

Below are some law enforcement officers from Dali Temple.

On the other side was a middle-aged man who looked like a well-dressed man. This man looked at the little monk with a look of hatred, and his face almost wrinkled with anger.

Obviously this middle-aged man is the one who suffers.

Before I could figure out what was going on, I heard the uncle in the hall say with a serious face:

"What's your complaint?"

The idea is to let the young monk prove his innocence.

"The poor monk only removed the obstacles and did not touch the donor's child."

The young monk's tone was still clear, but the problem was that his answer was too dry.

Who believes it? ?
Who can believe it!

"Little monk! You are a monk and a holy son of the Buddha. You must not lie!"

The uncle looked at the little monk in front of him with a big head.

He could naturally tell that the young monk was magnanimous and was most likely telling the truth.

But the question is, where did the child go?

You are alone in the room and the child turns into a monkey...

It's not like you changed into a living person!
"Stinky monk! Where is my child! In front of Master Qingtian of Dali Temple, why don't you actually recruit him!?!"

The middle-aged man in brocade clothes looked at the young monk with an angry expression.

Looking at the gnashing of teeth in his eyes, I wanted to tear the little monk alive.

"Monks don't lie much."

The little monk turned to look at the middle-aged man, his face was very clear, and the innocence on his face really made him look like he deserved a beating.

At least at this moment, I wanted to beat him to death.

The middle-aged man's anger was completely ignited.

Just when he was about to have an attack, Lu Yuanzhi also knew that it was time for him to appear.

"Pei Yin Lang Feng Pei Lu Yuanzhi has met your Excellency!"

Lu Yuanzhi also knew that he could only stay in this lobby with his identity as Pei Yinlang.

I can also speak a few words.

If he showed up as a friend of the young monk, he would be driven away by his uncle after saying a few words.

"Ok?"

The uncle's expression hesitated for a moment, and then looked over with a confused expression, as if he had heard something unbelievable.

Sure enough, I saw the figure of the person in my imagination.

“What are Pei Yinlang’s people doing here??”

The uncle's mouth twitched at first, then he frowned and looked at Lu Yuanzhi with an unkind expression, his eyes full of warning.

"Haha, it's just something happened under the jurisdiction. Come and find out."

Lu Yuanzhi also pretended to be very similar. At least to outsiders, the relationship between the two of them was definitely not uncle and nephew.

"What are you doing?"

The uncle's frown deepened. In his mind, Lu Yuanzhi was meddling in other people's business.

Looking at Lu Yuanzhi in confusion, countless guesses flashed through his mind.

Of course Lu Yuanzhi saw his uncle's doubts.

However, he did not intend to reveal his purpose. Instead, he looked at his uncle with a serious look and said:

"Lord Shaoqing, I have just taken down the official post and I have learned a little about the cause of the matter. There are a few issues that need to be clarified. I wonder if it can be convenient. After all, this case is also under the jurisdiction of Pei Yinlang. There are It’s also good to have an understanding.”

Lu Yuanzhi's words were orderly.

Nonsense, the entire capital is under the jurisdiction of Pei Yinlang.

Wherever a case occurs, Peiyinlang can take care of it. Although some small cases are rarely pursued by Peiyinlang's Yamen, after all, there are so many cases in such a large capital, and it is impossible for Peiyinlang's people to handle them all.

Even if I want to, I can't control it.

"Ah."

The uncle's face turned dark, but Lu Yuanzhi also made it clear his identity this time. He is Pei Yinlang's Fengpei, not your Hai Rui's nephew.

So it's better to keep things official.

"Thank you sir."

Lu Yuanzhi thanked him humbly and politely.

At this time, the little monk's eyes finally caught sight of Lu Yuanzhi. In fact, the moment he saw Lu Yuanzhi's appearance, the little monk's heart was already relieved, and a sense of warmth surged in his heart.

This benefactor really considers himself a friend...

Therefore, the way the young monk looked at Lu Yuanzhi, despite the original clarity, was filled with unnecessary emotion.

Lu Yuanzhi also noticed the young monk's eyes and gave him a reassuring look. Then he looked at the middle-aged man in brocade clothes and said:

"I am Feng Pei of Peiyinlang Yamen. I have a few questions to ask you. You must answer them truthfully."

Lu Yuanzhi looked at the middle-aged man in brocade clothes seriously.

The middle-aged man looked at Lu Yuanzhi with a hint of excitement on his face:
"Are you Mr. Xiao Lu who destroyed the Buddha formation?"

After Lu Yuanzhi heard this, he twitched the corner of his mouth slightly. Yes, he even met a fan.

"Of course it's me."

Lu Yuanzhi answered very calmly.

When others lose their manners, of course you still have to stay calm.

"It's really you!! That's great. If you have any questions, just ask. Of course, I will tell you everything I know!"

The middle-aged man's level of cooperation is quite high.

Lu Yuanzhi looked at him calmly and asked:

"What's your name?"

"The younger one's name is Chen Youliang."

"Ok?"

Lu Yuanzhi raised his eyebrows and looked at the middle-aged man's face.

Chen Youliang?
Old enemy of the Zhu family?

"Ha ha."

Lu Yuanzhi smiled inexplicably and said:

"I heard that your child has a disease. I don't know what the disease is and when did it occur?"

Lu Yuanzhi asked in an orderly manner.

He asked with purpose.

"Mr. Xiao Lu, I would like to inform you that Quanzi's condition is a bit strange. I have invited many gentlemen, but they all said that it was just a slight cold and that he would be fine after resting in bed for a few days. At first, Xiaolu didn't pay much attention to it, but as time went by, it never got better... …”

The middle-aged man's voice was more or less depressed.

"How long?"

Lu Yuanzhi frowned and looked at Chen Youliang.

"It's been half a month..."

The middle-aged man's face looked a little ugly.

After all, my child has been sick for half a month and he still hasn’t taken care of her. I don’t know if it’s because I, as a father, haven’t fulfilled my responsibility, or because those doctors don’t have any skills...

"Half a month..."

A trace of confusion flashed across Lu Yuanzhi's face.

"Do you still remember what happened on the day you got sick?"

Lu Yuanzhi continued to ask Xiao Chen Youliang.

"This……"

A trace of hesitation flashed across Chen Youliang's face. After so long, he had indeed forgotten.

"Okay, before your child disappeared today, had any outsiders been to your house?"

Lu Yuanzhi looked at Chen Youliang calmly.

"There has never been anyone else but this little monk."

In front of Lu Yuanzhi, the middle-aged man named Chen Youliang didn't dare to speak rudely.

Of course, I definitely won’t use any honorific.
