Chapter 116

Zhang Zhou simply went to Luohan hall to listen to a sutra class. The lecturer was an old monk. His voice was slow and clear. Nearly 100 monks in the hall could really understand it. I don't know whether they could understand it or not. Anyway, they were all attentive.

The monks who listen to scriptures in the hall are fat, thin, old and young. The youngest seems to be only six or seven years old. He was born in powder carving and jade carving. It's hard to say whether he can stand up from the futon. Anyway, he can't see that he is a group of experts who are enough to frighten the Wulin.

Zhang Zhou wanted to try if he could have an epiphany! Unfortunately, I didn't understand anything. I lamented that I underestimated the depth and mystery of Buddhist scriptures!

After the old monk finished his Scripture, he whispered the Buddha's horn as his concluding remarks. All the monks sang the Buddha's horn together and responded with great solemnity. After listening to the Sutra class, there was nothing else. When Zhang Zhou turned and walked out, he really didn't want to be shouted by the old monk.

"Benefactor, please stay!"

Not only Zhang Zhou, Fang Jing was also a little stunned. Seeing the old monk slowly approaching, Zhang Zhou saluted first and asked, "what can I do for you, master?"

The old monk smiled and said, "don't blame me, benefactor. I called you benefactor!"

After that, he pointed to the two cows behind Zhang Zhou! Zhang Zhou didn't know why. Er Niu was stunned, but Fang Jing smiled knowingly.

Zhang Zhou then realized that Er Niu was an organic person? He pulled two oxen together.

"Why are you stunned? The master wants to talk to you!"

Er Niu was a little slow, but he saluted the old monk who was just as tall as his chin and said honestly, "master, what do you want me to do?"

The old monk smiled and said, "child, would you like to practice some martial arts?"

Erniu never thought he was smart. If Zhang Zhou hadn't pressed his head on the table and forced him to learn, he probably wouldn't know a few words now. Fighting depends on strength. As for advanced martial arts, he didn't think about it. He didn't know how to answer for a moment. He looked at Zhang Zhou blankly, but Zhang Zhou was happy in his heart.

"What? I'm going to live like a bull all my life? The opportunity comes, but I can't miss it!"

After getting Zhang Zhou's permission, er Niu hurriedly answered Lao he Shang, "yes, but I don't know a few words and don't understand anything. What can I learn?"

The old monk didn't care at all and said with a smile, "it doesn't matter. As long as you like, I will be responsible for teaching you for three or five years! There must be something better."

Two cattle have been listening for three or five years, but they don't want to.

"What? Three or five years? No, no, I have to protect my adults!"

Zhang Zhou scolded with a smile: "you waste food! How old will I be in three or five years? Are you afraid of not having a chance? Besides, if you have better martial arts skills, I will be safer. I don't understand this truth?"

Er Niu is a little stubborn.

"Three or five years, too long, I am reluctant to leave my adult!"

"Bullshit, you have to agree if you agree, and you have to agree if you disagree. This is an order!"

Zhang Zhou's attitude became stern. Er Niu didn't dare to speak again, but his eyes were red and obviously didn't give up. Zhang Zhou ignored him, turned to the old monk and asked, "master, you don't need this child to become a monk?"

"Hehe, you don't need it! Don't worry, benefactor. Just leave the child!"

Then the other party said quietly, "just take the benefactor away!"

From head to tail, I didn't ask who Zhang Zhou was. I have a full personality.

It doesn't matter what kind of opportunity it is. Anyway, it should be a rare opportunity for Erniu. Zhang Zhou will not miss it! There is no defiance to pick the old monk. How can a real expert have no personality?

Zhang Zhou thinks he is not an expert, but he never excludes the existence of an expert, nor will he prevent his subordinates from increasing the opportunity to see and know! There were several craftsmen in Kyushu business. They admired a master sculptor in Chenzhou and said his techniques were very exquisite. However, the master declined the invitation of rich treatment for Kyushu business on the grounds that his hometown was hard to leave. Although several craftsmen admired their skills, they were reluctant to take up their posts in Kyushu business and could only sigh.

After learning that, Zhang Zhou decided to fund several people to go to Dongzhou to study for three years. As for how much they can learn, it depends on their own skills.

Zhang Zhou seldom misses this opportunity to improve his subordinates' ability unless it involves the root.

Er Niu was not in the mood to consider his gains and losses. When he heard that he was leaving Zhang Zhou, he couldn't help crying and was so angry that Zhang Zhou kicked him.

"I'm still in dachuyun temple! When can't I see you? It's so big that I still cry and lose face!"

However, let Er Niu's mood influence, his mood is also a little sad! I had to give the old monk a few more words of advice: "the child has a good character. He can eat some. I hope not to worry about it. I can't let the temple suffer losses. I will give enough incense money. Don't let the child hungry!"

Unexpectedly, the old monk answered directly.

"Incense silver is less than 10000 Liang. It should be out of hand!"

Zhang Zhou's face turned red, and Fang Jing also felt funny, but he didn't mean to join in. He was the first seat of Luohan hall. In front of the old monk, he really didn't have much room for words.

It was a long way out of the hall. Zhang Zhou couldn't help laughing. Fang Jing didn't know why and asked, "what makes the Marquis so happy?"

"Can you be unhappy? I was going to give 20000 Liang!"

Fang Jing also laughed at the speech.

In dachuyun temple, how long Zhang Zhou's smile can last depends on the mood of Princess Linglang Zhao Qixuan. Now Zhao Qixuan is in a good mood. As a result, Zhang Zhou can't laugh.

"What? Poisoning? Let me investigate? Wushen town?"

After hearing the details of the case, Zhang Zhou seemed to hear the sound of pieces of his brain! To tell you the truth, why are there so many troubles in your royal family? none of my business? Has anything to do with me? Do I owe you the Zhao family? Is there no risk in doing things? Don't you need to pay

In short, after countless complaints, simply sum up a few words!

"Weichen, do your best!"

Zhao Qixuan did not seem satisfied with his reply.

"How do you do your best? Tell me what you think?"

"Ah! Weichen thought that first of all, we should comprehensively investigate the people who can contact your highness, and then..."

"Do you know why there is no big investigation in this palace?"

"I don't know!"

"It's because I don't want to scare the snake and touch too much! If there are other people behind the poisoned person, it's easy to break the clue!"

This really reminded Zhang Zhou that Fuxiang told him about the old eunuch. He died a hundred times without leaving any evidence, which made it difficult to carry out the follow-up investigation. After much thought, Fuxiang found out that he might be using the carriage to deliver the message

It can be seen that once the grass startles the snake, it will not only need to pay more price, but also be likely to result in futile results!

Thinking of this, Zhang Zhou couldn't help blushing and dissatisfied: there are countless capable and strange people around you. Why do you want me to investigate? Have nothing to do, make me happy?

He guessed right. Zhao Qixuan really didn't expect him to find anything. The reason why he was asked to do it was that he liked to see him adjusted by himself!

"Your Highness, I'm really stupid and can't do anything. I'm afraid I'll delay your Highness's major events..."

"Your father sent you to visit mountains and rivers?"

Hearing this, Zhang Zhou felt a "buzzing" in his head. He remembered that the emperor had given him a secret edict when he left Beijing to see it after he arrived at dachuyun temple. He forgot!

This is not a matter of bad memory, but his indifference to imperial power. If this matter is put on the outline, the emperor will never laugh it off. He was surprised in a cold sweat and hurriedly said, "Your Highness, please leave for a moment!"

"Oh, what's up?"

"Chen suddenly has unbearable abdominal pain. Look, it's already painful and sweating!"

Zhao Qianyuan also sent a secret letter to Zhao Qixuan. He only said that he would make her more careful about her safety and would send competent people to help her. He didn't mention that Zhang Zhou had a secret purpose, let alone that he was frightened out of his cold sweat! Although some indecent, but after all, human nature, naturally accurate.

After Zhang Zhou went out, he galloped all the way. He didn't feel tired. It was impossible to change before. His eagerness made him unaware of the change.

He returned to his residence and found the secret message in a pile of packages. Impatient to open and watch. The general content is: you should check carefully about a wide range of things! If you haven't found any results within two months, you can stay in dachuyun temple and become a monk for life! In addition, let Zhang Zhou investigate the behavior of wuxia mountain during the chaos in the southwest as an inspector of the inspection department!

The role of the inspection department has long existed in name only in places outside Kyoto. Most of the intelligence depends on the reports of local officials, which is also one of the reasons why the information in the southwest is blocked and the disposal is not timely.

This time, Jiang Ju was obviously biased in dealing with Zhang Zhou, which made Zhao Qianyuan very dissatisfied. He reduced his main hall to Zuo Shi, but he still managed the inspection department on his behalf! My temporary official position is a name, and I don't need to go to work every day. It doesn't matter!

Wuxia mountain is one of the top giants in Wulin and one of the seven famous schools. Its geographical location is not far from Yingzhou lake. Zhao Qianyuan did not blame Zhao Qirui for running away in Yingzhou this time. Although he knew that the son had a big problem, he muddled along without clear evidence. The wuxia mountain was silent in the tumultuous chaos. In addition, Zhao Qirui had a secret letter saying that the wuxia mountain might subsidize the people's chaos, which made Zhao Qianyuan a little worried. The local government was abandoned, and the strength of the inspection department could not be counted on. It simply put the matter on Zhang Zhou.

The emperor said it lightly, but Zhang Zhou was upset with the pressure of a huge stone. He wondered if he would discuss with Master Kong Che to have a relapse of an old disease and take a sick leave to deal with these tasks!

Although he was very unhappy about the things in the will, he was more or less happy that he didn't delay any major events. Zhang Zhou thought all the way and repeatedly brewed his ideas on the "poisoning case", so that when he answered correctly with the princess, there would be no mistakes and lead to unprepared. I returned to Princess Linlang's residence again, and my state of mind calmed down!

……

"I was injured last time and didn't fully recover, so I have an emergency occasionally. Please forgive me, your highness!"

His nonsense made Zhao Qixuan feel guilty. She knew very well about Zhang Zhou's injury, but she ignored him when she saw him jumping around.

The tone of voice is also much more gentle.

"Get up quickly and avoid these etiquette in the future! The palace has forgotten your injury. Take good care of yourself. The palace will deal with the investigation!"

Zhang Zhou doesn't want to refuse at all now. Bastard wants to be a monk! He got up and hurriedly said, "Your Highness, thank you for your concern. This little pain is nothing. Serving your highness is a big thing! You have some ideas! Please rest assured, your highness, you must find out a result!"

"Oh, so sure?"

"I don't dare say it's full, but there are still some ways. Your highness, if you don't feel tired, I want to know the details!"

……

Zhao Qixuan told the story of the poisoning in detail, and told it clearly that the poison came from Wushen Town, called "duanji". This poison is very rare in the Jianghu and is forbidden in Wushen town. If it weren't for the imperial doctor in the palace, he would not know if he was lucky to have been instructed by the medical Saint Li Lingqu. Kong Che's view is similar to that of the two royal doctors. He can only slowly recuperate and forcibly detoxify, which will only stimulate toxicity and completely destroy Zhao Qixuan's Qi machine. As for how long it will recover, the ghost may not know!

Zhang Zhou's analysis is similar to that of Linlang. The purpose of the poisoner is definitely not to kill her, because this poison will only destroy her internal power and Qi. For Princess Linlang, does martial arts have any impact on her identity, status and power!

What is the other party's motivation? Take such a big risk just to tickle each other?

Zhang Zhou's first thought was that the other party wanted to stop Princess Linlang from doing something through her illness, but what would Linlang do to make the other party need to delay time in this way? I have to ask, what did Princess Linglang want to do at that time?

Linlang was embarrassed. She couldn't tell him that she was anxious to return to Beijing for fear that he would be trapped?

"At that time, the palace just wanted to go back to Beijing and deal with some important things. After all, the chaos in the southwest exposed many problems and needed to tell his father in person!"

Zhang Zhou saw that she didn't want to explain the specific reason and didn't ask, but said, "who has the opportunity to contact the princess's medication? Have you found out?"

Ye Baimei said, "I've found out. There are six people who can get close to the princess's diet and medication. Three servant girls and three guards are all people the princess trusts very much!"

"Are these people's family backgrounds clear?"

"When the three little girls were very small, they were adopted by the princess to the house. There was no family at all! The three guards, all old people in the house, didn't find anything wrong!"

During the conversation, ye Baimei gave Zhang Zhou a list. Everyone's identity and background were introduced in great detail!

After reading it twice, Zhang Zhou looked at the introduction of one of them and gently read out the sound.

"Shi Zhen, a surname from Yingzhou, won the second place in the sixth year of the great martial arts examination. He studied with Xun Qingzi of the martial arts mountain. He resigned his official post in the seventh year of the great martial arts and followed the princess..."

Zhao Qixuan didn't say a word, but ye Baimei said, "this stone is a person highly appreciated by your highness and has always been loyal to your highness!"

Zhang Zhou didn't know whether he agreed with Ye Baimei or nodded in his personal habit: "such a person with both literature and martial arts can lay down his official body and follow his highness, which shows the great charm of the princess!"

Zhao Qixuan's face was a little stiff. Ye Baimei's face was a little unhappy and said, "Lord Hou, pay attention to your words and deeds!"

"Oh, don't get me wrong. I don't mean to be disrespectful. I just thought about some superfluous questions!"

Zhao Qixuan gave a cry and asked, "what's the problem?"

"People always make choices because of some ideas! Either because of interests; or because of preferences; perhaps because of ideals; or because they are forced to be helpless! I wonder why this promising figure chose to follow his highness, perhaps because he admires his Highness's charm..."

Zhao Qixuan interrupted him coldly and said, "you don't have to think about it. Shi Zhen's loyalty to the palace is beyond doubt!"

"Oh, well, I have excluded this person from the scope of investigation..."

Ye Baimei swallowed what she wanted to say.

When Zhang Zhou left, ye Baimei saw that Zhao Qixuan looked tired and planned to persuade her to rest. Zhao Qixuan said, "aunt, will Shi Zhen betray me?"

“……”

Ye Baimei didn't answer, but Zhao Qixuan knew that her silence had the same doubts.

"What is Shi Yu doing recently?"

"He should be on his way back to Wushen town now!"

After the royal doctor was diagnosed with poisoning, he blocked the news from everyone and said that he had temporarily stabilized his condition. In order to find a famous doctor in Wushen Town, Shi Zhen was sent away. More or less, it was also because ye Baimei had doubts about him, and the other five were secretly supervised.

"What was unusual when he left?"

Ye Baimei shook her head. Zhao Qixuan sighed softly, "aunt, send a letter to the people on the wuxia mountain!"
