Chapter 89 – Matching with a Black-Hearted Husband

In the evening, stone eaves frost will these four people sent to the spirit light temple, since leading two hundred jinyiwei, holding weapons and ropes, just lurking in the nearby mountains and fields, waiting for the signal.

After worshipping the Goddess of Mercy, the two young couples explained to the monk at the temple that they wanted to pray for the heir of their dream and that they had fasted for seven days at home beforehand. The monk asked them to pray for a broom in front of the Buddha, and all the brooms were auspicious, so he arranged for them to stay in the purification room of the Hall of Children and Grandchildren, and reminded them to light up the holy oil lamps in the room after nightfall, so that they could successfully draw the spirits into their dreams.

These two prostitutes, the plump one named Liu Yingge, the slim one named Sun Youniang, are both in their twenties, not necessarily first-class appearance, but quite clever mind, usually seeking shelter, deliberately make friends with the fiefs and officers, and thus have seen a lot of scenes. This time the mission, play a good woman is also easy, and does not appear to be panicked.

After entering the purification room and locking the door tightly, the two began to survey the interior. This purification room was partitioned off by interval and was small in size, above it was the smallpox flat was a divine medicine from the heavens, take one pill every morning and evening, take it for a month, then you will be able to conceive.

I do not know how long, Sun Yuniang finally completely awake, if not really holding a medicine bag in the palm, also thought he had a light and strange spring dream.

In the other purification room, Liu Yingge blew out the oil lamp before she went to bed. She wasn’t afraid of the dark and didn’t like light when she slept, so she stripped naked after getting under the covers, expecting something to happen.

She waited for more than an hour with a spring in her step, and was getting impatient when she suddenly heard the bottom of the bed creaking, and thinking it was a rat, she poked out her upper body, manipulated the embroidered shoes on the floor, and slammed them into the dark bottom of the bed.

The sole of the shoe slapped on a bald head with a crisp sound, Liu Yingge froze, wide-eyed with the monk who had burrowed out from under the bed.

It turns out that there is a piece of flooring under the bed is movable, thick wooden boards with mud coated in the likeness of lapis lazuli, and next to the slate put together tightly, easy to not see, unless with a sharp instrument to pierce, in order to penetrate the camouflage.

Lamp oil mixed with drugs, burning volatile out, smoked all over the room. Female guests in a deep sleep inhaled, will fall into a disorienting illusion, see the heart of the thoughts, so there is “red light falling to the ground, the Goddess of Mercy to send a child, Lohan into the arms of” such as pregnancy dreams.

Monks in the temple took the opportunity to drill out from under the bed, taking turns on the female guests wantonly do, and finally left the so-called “magic medicine”.

When the women woke up, they either thought it was a miracle or suspected that they had been raped, but because their honor was important, they were ashamed and did not dare to say anything.

These doubtful female customers, knowing that losing their bodies will be repudiated by their husbands, and not having anything to offer will also be repudiated by their husbands, the matter has come to this point, they can only deceive themselves and others to unify their voices, and no matter who asks, they will all say that it is the living Buddha who manifests his holy name. She took the medicine according to the prescription, hoping to get pregnant and get rid of this nightmare.

There is also a small group of female customers who come to Ling Guang Temple every now and then to seek heir.

The monks are young and strong, the women are normal and disease-free, and there are pills to regulate menstruation and seeds to assist them, so naturally eight out of ten of them will be able to conceive.

Jiyao served as the host for three years, these babies, the eldest is only two years old, look at the tiger head, fat and lovely, the husband’s family did not suspect, and even gave the “Luohanzi”, “Bodhisattva child” and other milk name.

Words back to the main topic, said back to Liu Yingge and the bed under the monk collided face to face, fake low scream: “Oops, what are you, how out of thin air appeared?”

The monk listened to her dainty speech and climbed onto the bed on soft heels, “I am a golden-bodied Lohan, here to deliver my son to you.”

“Don’t fool me, you must be an elder in this temple. As a monk, how dare you not observe the precepts of lust, if you don’t leave, I’m going to yell for someone.” Liu Yingge said while dragging him towards the quilt.

The monk did not deny, smiling, said: “I beg the little lady to give flesh. Outside the door that thin strip of your husband, shouting in what’s the use, silver-like gun head, I’m afraid it’s just a useless decoration.”

Liu Yingge secretly laughed at his guess was not far from the door, the “husband”, the front is not a setup does not matter, the back of the useful on the line.

The two men were fooling around for a while, and the monk couldn’t take it, so he probed out and knocked on the floor under the bed, begging for help, “This female bodhisattva is so powerful, the masters and brothers come quickly.”

Two more monks crawled out of the secret passage. The three golden-bodied luohans, touching the darkness, fought the sassy bodhisattva to a standstill.

Liu Yingge, while happy, but also remembered the orders of the Lord of the Brocade Guard, secretly dipped in bluegrass juice, one by one bald head rubbing, theater: “Up and down two bald, but quite capable.” In the darkness, the monks just think she caresses, do not mind, before leaving, but also fondly urged: “female Bodhisattva if you do not mind, often come to walk around, giving sweet rain.”

At this moment is about four o’clock, after the surroundings return to silence, Liu Yingge put on the clothes, muttered “this class of lecherous vultures”, put the “miracle drug” into the pocket, open the door to wake up the drowsy “husband “, whispered: “It’s done, quickly go to inform the officials.”

Sun You Niang because of the drug, than she lay more than half an hour, but not longer than Liu Yingge fierce battle, so also about the same time to open the door, to wake up “husband”.

Two male prostitutes guarding the door at first pronged ears, did not hear the movement, the back of the smoked mosquito smoked flavor, sleep in a daze, and even sleep unaware. Being woken up in a cold sweat, busy from the pocket to take out a small fireworks with a special sound ignited.

The brocade guards, who were ambushed outside the temple, saw the signal released from the sky and scaled the wall to enter the Ling Guang Temple, catching the shamans on watch, forcing them to ring the bells and drums, lighting the fire pots, and summoning the monks.

Presiding Jiyao suddenly woke up from his sleep, heard the noise of people in the courtyard, realized that bad things, almost even the monk’s robe can not even put on good, the shoes a slipper, immediately decided to escape from the back door. But his room was surrounded by people.

Jiyao, in addition to his godly illusions, also had some fisticuffs, knocked down a few of the brocade guards, almost ran away, and was finally tied up with a knife cut to his calf in the scuffle.

Temple monks were awakened by the sound of the bell, and heard outside the sanya shouted “presiding officer and the elders of the roll-call”, all hastily got up and ran to the Maharajah’s temple, a few moments later they all arrived.

The female guests who stayed in the purification room and the family members and servants who guarded the door of the purification room did not let any of them get away, but all of them shouted and drove to the bottom of the hall.

Shen Qi was dressed in a gold flying fish suit, reflecting the firelight, stepping in from outside the hall, sitting on a circle chair moved by his men, and looking at the crowded monks in the hall with a bird’s eye.

Under the reprimand of the brocade guards, the monks fearfully took off their monk’s caps, and under the long-lighting lamps, they only saw that among the piles of shiny bald heads, there were five bald heads, and the ring scars were smeared with an extraordinarily conspicuous indigo color.

The brocade guards immediately tied up the people, and the five young monks, not knowing what they were doing, wailed and cried out for mercy.

Stone Eaves Frost droned, “Your head: “I want to see the Empress Dowager.”

Shen Qi said: ”Not now. The emperor’s will is here, who dares to disobey. I have a plan, later you don’t resist, all the charges, should be recognized first, until the Northern Zhenfu Si Imperial Prison, I pick a body similar to yours from the death row, to do a plum in place of the peach. When finished the process in the government office, I will take you to see the Empress Dowager, you go to plead for mercy.”

Jiyao knows that everything he has today is due to the Empress Dowager’s favor. Now the emperor is going to kill him, if there is no shelter of the Empress Dowager, he is ten heads are not enough to cut. The only way to survive is to hold on to the Empress Dowager’s thighs and pray for a way out, maybe the Empress Dowager can persuade the Emperor to let him go, or at least send him out of the capital safely.

“But you have to have a number in your own heart, if you talk nonsense and leak the ‘Heavenly Chance’, not to mention the Imperial Master, even the Empress Dowager will not be able to spare you!”

Jiyao nodded his head repeatedly, “I know I know, I will never say half a word about anything related to the Empress Dowager again. Your Excellency can save me!”

Shen Qi smiled, “Listen to me, I’ll keep you alive.”

Jiyao thought for a moment and said, “You give me that gold hairpin and return it to the Empress Dowager when I enter the palace.”

Shen Qi knew that he was asking for evidence to save his life, so he secretly handed him the hairpin.

Jiyao took it and tucked it into his sleeve before he ate a peace of mind and said, “I’ll listen to everything your honor says.”

Shen Qi turned his face towards the monks in the temple and shouted sternly: “This group of thieves and vultures from Lingguang Temple, you swindled the people under the false pretense of God’s way and raped a good woman, you deserve to die for your crimes! Come on, tie up all the monks in the temple and escort them back to the Northern Zhenfu Division.”

The guards were ordered to come over like wolves and tigers, and tied up the monks tightly. The monks panicked and begged for help from Jiyao, but Jiyao just pretended not to hear, and made a turtle, without saying a word, was escorted to the horse by the guards in brocade.

The rest of the perfumers were put back, and as for what happened to the humiliated ladies, Shen Qi couldn’t care less.

–

Before dawn, more than a hundred monks were imprisoned in the Imperial Prison, taking up four whole large cells.

After the trial, signing and pledging, Jiyao, in order to survive and get away, was very cooperative and confessed to all the crimes of cheating and enrichment, rape and adultery of a woman of faith.

Several elders who refused to confess were tortured and then confessed. The rest of the monks see, even the host has confessed, what else do they have to hide, such as the bamboo tube to pour beans all to explain out.

Shen Qi privately treats Jiyao politely, only said to trouble the master to stay in the imperial prison for a few more hours, and when the paperwork is submitted, he will come to take him to the palace.

Jiyao closed a single room alone and waited bitterly, so anxious that it was difficult to enter a mouthful of water and rice, waiting for Shen Qi to bring the condemned prisoner to make a replacement with him as agreed, and then sneak into the palace to meet the Empress Dowager.

After working from morning to night, he finally waited until a jailer came in with a hooded prisoner, removed his handcuffs and shackles, and led him out of the cell.

On the other hand, the imprisoned monks were scared and desperate, some of them cried with their heads in their hands, and some of them forced themselves to be courageous and uttered curses. At nightfall, a jailer suddenly came, opened the cell door, removed the handcuffs and shackles, and said to them: “Let’s go! Your presiding officer, with his master’s eyes and hands, has taken the whole temple clean, and you are released!”

The monks, almost weeping with joy at their return from the dead, poured out of the cell door.

One of the monks asked, “Dare I ask, my lord, where is our presiding officer?”

The jailer said, “Follow the tunnel all the way out of the dungeon and you’ll see it.”

The monks pushed and squeezed their way out of the tunnel, and just as they walked up the steps and ventured out, they saw a jailer ahead of them pull out his belt knife, cut himself hard on the shoulder, and turned his hand to shove the handle into Jiyao’s hand.

The jailer covered his blood-spattered wounds with his hands and quickly backed away, letting out a loud shout, “The prisoner escaped from prison! Seizing weapons for rebellion! Prisoner escaped and plotted rebellion–“

Caught off guard, Jiyao was sprayed with blood, holding the steel knife that was forced into his hand, he stood there dumbfounded, and after several seconds, he reacted and hissed, “I didn’t break out of prison, I didn’t conspire to rebel, you’re lying to me, I’m–“

A sharp arrow flew out of the darkness and violently penetrated his skull, and Jiyao’s screams came to an abrupt end as he planted himself on the ground like a dead tree.

The blades in the hands of the brocade guards were snowy and bright, and they surrounded the courtyard from all sides.

The monks were scared out of their wits, and I don’t know who called out from the ranks, “There are weapons at your feet, pick them up and fight with them! Kill a way out!” Under the panic, this voice is resolute and strong, guiding the monks can not help but look at the ground on both sides, there are really many axes and short swords.

Survival instincts kicked in amidst the light of the oncoming knives, and a few rushed over to pick up their weapons in a haphazard manner, with others following suit.

Shen Qi stood under the eaves, hanging down the bow and arrow in his hand, the corner of his mouth hooked up with a cold smile, “Prisoners escaping from prison with arms, intending to plot a rebellion, kill without pardon!”

A circle of archers sprang up from the ridge of the house, and at once arrows flew like rain at the order of the superior officer.

The monks waved their swords and axes haphazardly, where to block the strong bow and arrow, more than a hundred people were shot into a hedgehog in the blink of an eye, and the courtyard was covered with sprawling corpses, and the blood flowed.

After the rain of arrows, the brocade guards came forward, one by one to make up for it. Finally, Stone Eaves Frost came over to report back, “Commander Lord, one hundred and thirty-four escaped prisoners, none of them missed the net, all of them were executed.”

“Where did the prisoner get the murder weapon?” Shen Qi asked rhetorically.

Shi Eaves Frost smiled, “It was the demon monk Jiyao who confused the jailers with his illusions, and smuggled the murder weapon in wrapped in the bedding in the name of delivering clothing and bedding.”

Shen Qi kindly said, “The scene is not moving first, notify the Da Lisi and the Inspectorate, let them send people over to see for themselves, so that everyone knows that my Northern Zhenfu Si is acting in accordance with the law, not only solved the case of the demonic monks, but also prevented a conspiracy at the foot of the Son of Heaven.”

After he finished dropping his bow and arrows, he walked over to Jiyao’s corpse, bent down to touch away the gold hairpin in his sleeve, and turned to leave.

Out of the North Township Division, Shen Qi turned on his horse, carrying the just-written case in his arms, and brought the jade pillow from Lingguang Temple, wrapped in a bag, and went to the palace to see the emperor in the night.
