Chapter 146 Fishing in troubled waters

Since Zhao Xutian has already met Hui En, it means that he must be in the temple. Now he has made it clear to the abbot that he will personally give alms to all the monks in the temple, but Hui En has not shown up. What Fang is most worried about now is that someone

Inform Hui En in advance.

The monk who knew the guest said, "Everyone has received it. Thank you very much for the alms."

Fang now's face darkened and he said: "I'm afraid that's not necessarily true. Let me tell you, I originally donated alms to your temple wholeheartedly. You can please don't deceive me! This way I won't be able to explain to my deceased brother."

The monk who knew the guest said, "The donor was joking, and everyone who was supposed to come has come."

Fang now said: "Monks don't lie. If you lie to others, you will go to tongue pulling hell."

When the monk Zhike heard this, his face turned very ugly.

Fang now said impatiently: "Excuse me, hurry up and invite all the masters who are not here. Let's finish the alms as soon as possible. I still have to discuss business!"

Abbot Zhizhen and Zhike Monk immediately looked at each other. They had looked extremely pious just now, but their expressions changed so quickly. They said that they wanted to save the souls of their friends. Most of the time, the friends were harmed by him, and they were afraid that the innocent souls would seek their lives. That's why they thought of this.

Fang doesn't care what they think now. Now that he and his gang are pretending to be members of the gang, there is no need to pretend to be good men and women. If the old monk wants to slander him, he can go ahead and slander him.

Abbot Zhizhen saw that Fang's face had changed and said hurriedly: "Amitabha! Almsgiver, the poor monk remembered that my disciple Hui'en was ill a few days ago, and his actions were mostly unchanged, but he didn't come. I don't think he needs to come in person.

Now that I’m here, how about the poor monk find someone to take care of him on his behalf?”

Of course Fang now knows that Hui En didn't come, but the key is where is the young monk?

There were seven or eight young monks in front of him, but the youngest one was over ten years old, which did not match his age.

Fang now looked at the monks again, and there seemed to be two sinister glances in the crowd.

Hui En's accomplice must be hidden in the crowd. Fang now winked at Ma Bao, and Ma Bao nodded slightly in understanding.

At this moment, a monk hurriedly came in and said: "Abbott, there are more than a dozen people coming outside to see the abbot." He then whispered: "I think they are not good people. They are noisy and gearing up. It seems they are still here."

Take the guys with you.”

Abbot Zhizhen frowned and said: "What are they doing in this pure place of Buddhism? Come on, let's take this poor monk to see it!"

A dandy young man giving alms is already enough to cause trouble, but here comes another one. What happened today?

With that said, Abbot Zhizhen said to Fang Jin: "Donor, please stay with me for a little while!"

Fang now looked outside the main hall, wondering if Ji Chenglin could understand what he meant. Just now, he sent someone to remind him that the so-called monks' robes and hats were shipped, but they were actually sent to deliver a message.

At this time, there was a burst of noise outside the temple gate, and then a group of people rushed in.

Then he saw Ji Chenglin leading people around Abbot Zhizhen and talking loudly: "No, today, great monk, even if you say that the sky is coming, I will have to search. It is necessary to search. Someone has seen someone come to your temple."

Inside.”

"You keep saying that no one is hiding, why don't you let us search?"

"Hand them over obediently, or we will tear down your temple!"

Fang now felt happy in his heart, not to mention, these ruffians were so good at it, it seemed like it was the case.

Fang now stood with Ma Bao at the entrance of the hall, pretending to watch the excitement. Although the monks behind them did not make any loud noises, there were occasional discussions, and some monks simply recited sutras, causing the east side hall to buzz.

Ji Chenglin, who was outside, was completely ignoring him and not even looking at him, as if he really didn't know him.

Amidst the noise, Abbot Zhizhen said with an anxious look on his face: "Dear donors, the poor monk has just said that there really has never been a girl in the small temple!"

"We've all seen it with our own eyes, and you're still being stubborn!"

"Hurry up and hand over the person. If you don't, I will burn your temple to the ground!"

"No need to waste words with him. We can just search him. We will find him in a while and see if he still denies it!"

"Yes, yes, search, search now!"

Abbot Zhizhen was proficient in Buddhism, but he could not deal with such a group of unreasonable people. Zhike Monk tried to stop him, but was pushed aside so hard that he managed to avoid falling down.

Abbot Zhizhen said: "Sin, sin..."

Ji Chenglin said: "Master monk, to tell you the truth, what I'm looking for is our little lady. She secretly ran to the street at noon today and was abducted by a bald monk. She entered your temple right before her eyes."

Gate. If you don't let us search, you are shielding the bad guys. The young lady is the apple of our master's and young master's eye. If you can't find it, hey, I won't have a good life, and I'm afraid your temple won't be saved either!"

Zhizhen couldn't help but secretly complained, what is this? A bald monk must belong to our temple. He said: "The management of this temple is very strict. If a girl comes in, someone will have reported it to the poor monk."

Ji Chenglin said: "What do you mean, great monk? It was because someone saw my little lady entering your temple with my own eyes that I took my brothers all the way to find us. What do you think we do? We are full of food."

Yes, are you here to fool around? I don’t want to talk nonsense with you anymore. If you are sensible, please hand over that bald donkey who kidnapped people and my little lady, otherwise I will be as good-looking as you!"

Zhizhen smiled bitterly and shook his head: "If a little benefactor from your noble family really comes to this temple, even if the benefactors don't come to look for her, the poor monk will still have to find someone to inquire about her family and where she lives."

Several people behind Ji Chenglin said in unison: "What nonsense are you talking about? I'll find out if there is any!"

Zhizhen still shook his head and said: "Dear donors, it's not that the poor monk doesn't let you search. It's actually a pure place of Buddhism. Anyone can search wherever they want."

Ji Chenglin said: "Humph, if you are not guilty of thief, why don't you let us search? The more you obstruct us, the more it means that our little girl is hiding in your temple."

Zhizhen was also speechless. The other party was unreasonable at all, and no matter how much he said, it was useless.

He had no choice but to shake his head helplessly. Unexpectedly, a big hand immediately reached out, grabbed him by the collar, and shouted loudly: "Master, will you let us search? Don't force us to use violence."

Another person said: "Before, I thought the great monk in your temple had profound Dharma, but I didn't expect the abbot to tell lies with his eyes open."

Ji Chenglin waved his hand and said: "Forget it, all the good words have been said, we have done our best to be benevolent and righteous, come and search!"

The group of men immediately dispersed.

"Amitabha, it's a sin, it's a sin...Buddha bless, Buddha bless..." Abbot Zhizhen didn't know what to do when he encountered such a group of unreasonable masters.

Fang could see clearly now. This group of people looked like a mess of headless flies, but the direction they were going to was probably all agreed upon before, and all the main roads were quickly controlled.

At this moment, Ma Bao on the side quietly touched him with his arm.

"Captain, that man has escaped, I'm going to follow him!"

"Well, be safe!"

The person Ma Bao mentioned was Monk Huiwen who was hiding in the East Side Hall. Although there was a lot of noise outside about looking for a girl, his intuition told him that something was wrong, so he decided to take advantage of the chaos and leave to report the news to Hui En.

Huiwen had just left here when he saw a monk in the side hall looking toward the door from time to time. This monk had a fat head and fat ears, a shiny face, and a smile on his face, but his eyes flickered.

Fang now secretly said, another one!

After secretly instructing the two action team members to keep an eye on the fat monk, he quickly walked out of the East Wing Hall.

I happened to meet Abbot Zhizhen. The old monk looked depressed and said with his hands together: "Donor, there is an accident in the temple. I am afraid that your rituals will not be completed."

You are such a great and trustworthy monk, why do you really need to perform religious rituals?

Before Fang Jinjin could say anything, the disguised action team member on the side rolled his eyes and shouted loudly: "Master monk, what is the trouble? Your temple is obviously harboring criminals."

Fang Jin smiled and tried to smooth things over and said, "Don't let the two of you get offended. I just stood in the East Side Hall and listened. What I say is unfounded, but what I see is true. Today I will also bear witness, Master Zhizhen, why don't you just let it go?"

They rejoiced everywhere in the temple, worshiped Buddha when they saw them, nodded when they met monks, and saw every place. If they still can't find his little girl, isn't everything going wrong? "

A look of displeasure flashed across Zhizhen's face, and he thought to himself: They have already started searching, why should I tell this poor monk now?

Not long after, Ji Chenglin came over from nowhere, and the other party nodded slightly.

Fang now knows that the target has been locked.

At that moment, Fang Jin made a confession and walked towards the main hall.

When no one was paying attention, he went around to the back of the hall and Ji Chenglin said: "We found the young monk in a monk's room, and two brothers had already hidden him."

Since the situation in the temple was unknown, he did not dare to bring Juekong out rashly.

"Where's Hui En?"

"He is in the meditation room. There is another monk with him. Ma Bao is currently watching him."

The other monk must be the deer-headed, rat-eyed guy who snuck out from the East Side Hall just now.

"Prepare to close the net!"

"yes!"

When Hui En in the Zen room heard Hui Wen talk about what happened before, Hui En's pupils shrank slightly, a trace of panic flashed through her, her eyelids twitched, and she said: "This matter is very fishy. It is not appropriate to stay here for a long time."

, quickly find Juekong and find a way to get out in the chaos!"

He immediately stood up, took out a pistol from the hidden compartment of the Zen bed and stuck it in his waist. The gray monk's robe was very wide, and it was impossible to tell that he was carrying a weapon unless he looked carefully.

Hui Wen said, "I'll get my weapon right away, and let's go find Juekong together."

As soon as the two monks walked out of the meditation room, they saw a group of people walking towards them, making noisy noises as they walked.

Because everything was just speculation, although Hui En and Hui Wen were sufficiently vigilant, they were still prepared to act according to the circumstances before the matter reached the final step.

Ji Chenglin walked in front, pointed at the two monks and said: "Hey, senior monk, have you seen a girl come in?"

Hui Wen was startled at that time, with a nervous look on his face.

On the other hand, Hui En was very calm. He did not speak, put his palms together and bowed slightly and saluted: "Return to the donor, this poor monk has never seen any girls!"
