Chapter 101 Second Young Master?Cao Qianhu?
During my time away from the North, although I often thought about Prince Yi in my heart, I also knew that it would be a while before I could see him.

And when I was in the underground stone room, I thought I would never see the light of day again. Naturally, everything in the world, including Prince Yi, would also never be seen again.

At this time, he was out of danger and suddenly heard Linghua say that he had seen Prince Yi. He couldn't help but feel happy and excited in his heart, but it was only for a moment.

I smiled mockingly and said, "You must be so hurt that you're groggy. It's dark in the stone room. What's more, the prince can't leave the northern territory. If he walks around at will, he will be disobeying the decree and is guilty of crime." But it’s so big.”

Linghua also smiled and said in a small voice: "No... I think so too, but... that person... is so similar to... to the prince... In a blink of an eye, the person disappeared again."

I put her hand into the quilt and said, "That's it. If the prince really comes, will he still avoid us? You better get some sleep, and I'll go outside to see what's going on."

Meng Nier and three others escaped, leaving only the monks from Qinghe Temple waiting to be taken into custody.

When I walked to the monastery, I saw Mrs. Cheng whipping the evil monk Fa Ming with a horse whip.

Faming's hands and feet were tied and he lay on the ground wailing.

The other young monks were also tied up, and their faces were all stained.

Hong Wan, Jia Ye and other five people were picking grapes under the grape trellis in the courtyard to eat.

In the middle of the courtyard, above the stone steps, is the Mahavira Hall.

"Ms. Cheng, stop!"

I hurriedly stopped, walked over quickly, and said, "Cao Qianhu has already informed the county government here. When the time comes, there will be national laws to punish them, so there is no need for Mrs. Cheng to take action."

"This old bald donkey is so hateful and cunning. Girl, tell me, who would have thought that he could harm people in the presence of a Bodhisattva? If Cao Qianhu hadn't forbidden it, I would have killed him long ago so that I could get rid of this bad temper!"

"Ms. Cheng also said, how can you harm people in front of the Bodhisattva? Although this old monk is bad," I glanced at the evil monk Fa Ming and said in a deep voice, "But there is no need to look at his Taoist robes. Pay no attention to him anymore.”

"Then why don't you take off his robe and I'll hit him again?"

I was stunned, and when I turned around to see Mrs. Cheng's serious face, I couldn't help but laugh. I took her hand and walked to the grape trellis.

Hong Wan handed over a bunch of grapes and said, "Miss Lin, please have a grape. It's so sweet."

I gave the grapes to Mrs. Cheng and ate only one. It was indeed very sweet.

It was mid-afternoon, the sun was warm and gentle, and the golden eaves of the temple were rising in the blue sky.

When I thought about being locked up in that stone room by Meng Nier for the rest of my life, I felt that the scenery in front of me was even more comforting.

I whispered to Mrs. Cheng: "Beating and killing in the important place of Buddhism is ultimately detrimental to morality. Since you are venting your anger, you should not hinder yourself. Mrs. Cheng, let's see, the end of this evil monk will not be much better."

Mrs. Cheng chewed the grapes and said, "As long as you can vent your anger, I can't control that much."

Half of her face was hidden in the grape leaves. There were some fine lines at the corners of her beautiful face, but her whole body was still full of free and easy air, very lively and bright.

Unlike the women in the deep houses and courtyards, at her age, she already has children in groups, and her actions are dignified.

I leaned on the railing, thinking about the past time, my mother's life, Mrs. Cao, Mrs. Xu, Cao Yingshan, and myself... I was lost in thought for a while, then turned back and smiled at her: "This is the happy grudge."

Just as he was talking, he saw Cao Junlei leading a group of guards walking out of the Main Hall, seemingly carrying something.

I rushed over and was about to take a look when Cao Junlei raised his arm and blocked my view.

He said warmly: "Don't look at it, it's the remains of the previous host."

The magistrate of Lingshan County hurriedly arrived. As soon as he arrived, he bowed to Cao Junlei and said respectfully:
"I don't know that when Cao Fu envoy came to visit this precious land, he failed to welcome him from afar. This is a subordinate official derelict in his duty." Cao Fu envoy?I looked at Cao Junlei in surprise. He was wearing armor this time. I actually overlooked that the embroidery on his Feiyu suit had changed.

The Second Young Master Cao is really remarkable. He has reached such a status at such a young age. It seems that he must have won the emperor's favor.

Cao Junlei said solemnly: "Han Zhixian does not need to blame himself. I was ordered to capture the rebels. It is a secret. I just happened to find a group of thieves. As for how to deal with these thieves, I will leave it to Han Zhixian."

Magistrate Han said hurriedly: "I understand, I will do it immediately."

When the evil monk Faming heard this, he fell to the ground and cried out.

According to Faming's account, the original abbot of Qinghe Temple was named Zhikai. One day, Faming and Zhikai had a conflict, and Faming accidentally killed Zhikai.

Few people in the temple knew about the underground stone chamber under the Main Hall, so Faming threw Zhikai's body into the stone chamber.

At that time, Meng Nier and others came to stay overnight and accidentally saw the process of his murder, so Meng Nier used this as a threat to force him to take them in.

Meng Nier and the others do not eat vegetarian food, but eat meat and act recklessly in the temple every day, search for incense money, and enslave the monks in the temple.

Fa Ming said angrily: "Those three people made Qinghe Temple miserable! They didn't know if they had committed something, so they hid whenever there was any disturbance... Later, they forced me to stay in a hotel The few benefactors, the poor monks had no choice but to do as they were told, sir, you have learned from this."

Before Han Zhixian could speak, Cao Junlei said in a deep voice: "According to Daying law, kidnapping, hurting others, and imprisoning without permission are all punishable by imprisonment. But this thief monk killed the presiding officer. This is one, and the other is that he is For a monk to dare to openly commit murder in the Main Hall, it is unforgivable and unforgivable. As for the other monks, they are all accomplices. How do you think this case will be resolved, Master Han?"

Han Zhixian was stunned for a moment, and then said seriously: "The official thinks that the evil monk Fa Ming should be executed! The rest of the monks will be hanged by the prison princes, and in the end..."

"In this way, we can support justice and rectify the law!" Cao Junlei interrupted Han Zhixian.

"Yes." Zhixian Han lowered his head and replied.

Cao Junlei added: "There is a young novice named Liao Zhi in this temple. He does not fall into lust and takes risks to save a passerby. If he has made up for his fault, let him stay in Qinghe Temple."

"Yes, okay, everything will be arranged by Cao Fushi." Han Zhixian said hurriedly.

Even though Cao Junlei was being complimented and flattered like this, his expression remained unchanged.

Although he has the appearance of a jade-faced scholar, he has an air of calmness and self-reliance. There is a hint of coldness in his slim face. When talking to Magistrate Han, he frowned and looked businesslike.

This look is very strange to me.

I remembered that every time I saw him when I was in Cao Mansion, he was always in high spirits, bold and easy-going, and there was a smile in his eyes when he looked at people.

I vaguely remembered that when I was about to return to Beijing from Yangzhou, one day he invited me to the teahouse of Slender West Lake to enjoy the snow. He said that his father had found an official position for him, and he just wanted to be a leisurely person, spending time with his good friend Xia Tian. Fishing by the lake, enjoying the snow by the stove in winter, he also recited "Liangzhou Ci" at the top of his lungs.

... Lord Grim is lying drunk on the battlefield. How many people have fought in ancient times?

He was only an official in the imperial court, so how could he feel melancholy like "a strong man is gone and never comes back"?I guess I really don't like being an official.

I was lost in thought when I suddenly heard him mention "Linghua". I hurriedly listened carefully and heard him whisper to Magistrate Han: "...This girl was seriously injured and couldn't go on her way for a while. She fell down. My friend has urgent matters to attend to, I wonder if I can let Miss Linghua stay in your residence to recuperate?"

"No problem, I'll leave it to Xiaguan, who will order Zhuojing to take care of the girl personally..." Han Zhixian simply couldn't ask for more, and it seemed that he had gotten a huge job.

I was worried about how long I would have to hover here before setting off, but Cao Junlei had already thought of a way for me. I was so grateful that I saluted him in a low voice and said, "Thank you, Second Young Master."

He smiled warmly at me, as handsome and handsome as ever, took a step closer to me, and whispered: "Second Young Master, if you have something to do, Cao Qianhu, Lin Juanyun if you have nothing to do, you really are a ghost."

I felt embarrassed, and when I was about to speak, he had already walked away, and then I heard him shouting loudly: "Everyone, follow me down the mountain quickly!"
