Four hundred and twentieth chapters Fan Seng Popo
Li Xiu did not expect that Dali Temple would use the special cell where the heavy prisoner was imprisoned to detain the monk who offered fake Buddha teeth. However, Wu Lei, who was a prisoner, couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard his words: "The prince-consort doesn't know. The villain used to imprison this monk in an ordinary cell as you thought. As a result, he didn't know what happened a few days ago. He actually escaped from the cell and the cell was not damaged at all. If it weren't for other prisoners shouting warnings, he might have escaped!"
"Is there such a thing?" Li Xiu couldn't help but say in surprise when he heard this, and at the same time he was even more curious about the monk. At this time, Wu Lei asked someone to send a torch to light up the entire prison cell.?? ?
I saw that this special cell was not large in size, with a simple bed inside, with mattresses with no color visible on it. On this bed, a thin monk sat cross-legged, looking like he was meditating with his eyes closed. Even if Li Xiu and the others arrived, it did not affect him.
"Bopo, someone is here to visit you!" At this time, Wu Lei shouted into the cell, but what was unexpected was that the monk inside seemed to have not heard it, and still sat cross-legged there motionless.
"Hey~, don't be shameless, you a monk. If Shaoqing had not ordered you to be interrogated again, believe it or not, I'll give you some color now?" Wu Lei saw the monk inside ignore him, and his anger suddenly surged up. In the entire prison of Dali Temple, no prisoner dared to ignore his existence.
But at this moment, Xuanzang suddenly walked outside the fence of the cell, and then said a long list of words, which sounded like chanting scriptures. Li Xiu didn't know which country he was speaking at first, but later he suddenly realized that this is probably the legendary Sanskrit word. It seems that many monks understand this language.
Xuanzang's Sanskrit indeed worked. The monk inside opened his eyes immediately after hearing the sound, turned his head and looked at Xuanzang up and down a few times, and then hurriedly said a few words of Sanskrit. Then Xuanzang answered gently, and the two of them communicated through the fence, but the monk inside smiled bitterly from time to time, and didn't know what he was saying?
He couldn't understand it, and Li Xiu felt a little bored. It happened that he was in prison for the first time and was quite curious about the situation inside, so he took Li Chengqian and the others to walk around casually. Anyway, Wu Lei followed him, so he was not afraid of any accidents.
But at this moment, a prison guard suddenly ran over quickly and said a few words to Wu Lei in a low voice, which made Wu Lei look embarrassed. When Li Xiu saw this, he asked with a smile: "What's wrong with Wu Sizhu?"
"It's okay, but a new prisoner was sent to the prison. I need to register and arrange a cell for him. However, with the prince consort here today, I will ask the guards to wait for a while!" Wu Lei said indifferently at this time. Compared to a prisoner, it is naturally more important to accompany Li Xiu and the two princes.
"Haha, I'm actually very curious about the situation in the prison and I don't know anything about the prisoner's imprisonment process. Why would I take us to see it?" Li Xiu immediately asked with a smile when he heard this. Whether it was his previous life or this life, it was his first time in prison, so he was very curious about everything here.
When Li Xiu said this, Wu Lei naturally wanted to ask for it. At that moment, Li Xiu looked at Xuanzang again and found that he and the monk Bo were still having a hot conversation. It seemed that they would not stop for a while. So after Li Xiu left two guards, he followed Wu Lei to the outside of the cell.
"By the way, Wu Sizhu just now, you said that the Shaoqing of Dali Temple had already interrogated that monk. Do you know what the result would be?" Li Xiu suddenly thought of this question at this time and asked Wu Lei while walking.
"Your Majesty, you are asking the right person. Although I have not been in Dali Temple for a long time, I have been familiar with it all. The whole yamen cannot hide the turmoil in me. It just so happened that the monk was making a big deal, and even the prince dared to cheat him, so the yamen naturally had to interrogate him clearly, but..." Wu Lei was just talking, but suddenly he seemed to think of something, and his face showed a puzzled expression, and his words stopped suddenly.
"It's just what?" Li Xiu couldn't help but ask curiously when he saw Wu Lei's expression.
"Haha, it's nothing, but you've seen this monk's performance just now. He's simply unruly. It's said that such people are the most difficult to interrogate. However, when Shaoqing interrogated before, the monk admitted all his crimes very readily, which made Shaoqing feel suspicious, and he was a little unsure of the true or false. He temporarily detained him and asked him to re-examine him for a while. If it's fake, there are always some details that would not match." Wu Lei replied with a smile.
"So that's it. Then what did he confess before?" Li Xiu nodded first, then asked again.
"According to this monk, he did come from the Lion Kingdom, and had traveled to India. He was very knowledgeable. He had previously taken a maritime merchant ship to the Tang Dynasty. Speaking of which, the fake Buddha tooth he presented to His Majesty is also a treasure, which is more expensive than ordinary gems. After this monk got this treasure, he now has a somewhat similar shape to the Buddha tooth in the Lion Kingdom. He was eager to gain a foothold in the Tang Dynasty, so he took the huge risk to pretend that the gem was a Buddha tooth, but he did not expect that the prince would finally see through it." Wu Lei introduced again, and he did not know that it was Li Xiu who discovered the fake Buddha tooth.
"After all, it's the word "greed", but he is not greedy for money, but he is greedy for fame and status. He wants to use a fake Buddha tooth to exchange for fame and status in the Tang Dynasty. Fortunately, he failed!" After hearing this, Li Xiu also said with some emotion. If this monk honestly presented the gems, Li Shimin would be happy to give him a lot of rewards. When he took this opportunity to gain a firm foothold, he would slowly realize his dream of coming to the Tang Dynasty to preach.
While talking, Li Xiu and Wu Lei finally came to the gate of the cell. They saw several yamen runners escorting a tall prisoner here. However, although the prisoner was disheveled, his facial features were mostly blocked by his head, and he also had wooden shackles on his neck, he looked heroic and extraordinary, which made people dare not underestimate him.
