Chapter 77 Search (1)

After talking to Su Sanniang until late at night, the refugees had already fallen asleep one after another, the three of them finally talked about the topic one by one.

The pavilion where the three people are located is a pentagonal shape. Except for one side for entry and exit, the benches on the other four sides are long and wide, which is suitable for people to lie down. Chen Shuqing casts a spell, and the outer clothes on the three people become mats and quilts, just enough to rest, saving time for taking off clothes.

I thought I would sleep until dawn on the second day, but after getting up, the three of them set off immediately. Unexpectedly, just after the fifth update, the courtyard suddenly started to clamor. The sound became louder and louder, awakening the three of them. Pu Zixuan opened his eyes tiredly and asked, "What's going on?"

There was a small road between the yard and the pavilion. Chen Shuqing and Su Sanniang had already stood up and looked at the noisy place. They saw many officers and soldiers wearing torches, shouting the refugees sleeping on the ground one by one, and lined up aside.

Chen Shuqing said: "It seems that the government has sent someone to check the status of the refugee."

Su Sanniang said angrily: "Hmph, these clear demons seem to be shameless. They especially like to choose this midnight to deal with the common people. When dealing with foreign demons, why do one or two look like a wine bag?"

Seeing that the court sent a large number of officers and soldiers to come this time, Pu Zixuan remembered the desperate resistance when Tian Jinkun was investigated a few days ago. He was afraid that Su Sanniang would not be able to calm down and advised: "Don't do anything randomly."

Su Sanniang said, "Don't worry, if I had changed a few days ago, I wouldn't be sure, but now I have a new goal with you and you guys, so I won't be able to tell the difference."

In the courtyard, the abbot of Shurang had already come out to greet the officers and soldiers. The leading officers and soldiers shouted: "You all have heard. I know you are all villagers who fled here from Fengzhou Island. We are here tonight, not to target you, but to get information that there are at least two bandits on Fengzhou Island. As long as you provide the people, we will leave immediately and will not disturb everyone."

Hearing this, Pu Zixuan joked: "These things are not capable of catching people on the island. Now that the volcano has erupted, it would be fine if the government does not send a ship to rescue them. The first thing that comes to mind is that refugees gather together, which is a good opportunity to take people... It's decay, decay!"

There was obviously no more hair-raising Tian Jinkun in the crowd. Pu Zixuan looked at the men with standard braids, look at me, I looked at you, and after a while, someone finally said, "I know one, named Tian Jinkun."

The officer and soldier said, "Yes, it's him, where is he now?"

The man said, "When the volcano on Fengzhou Island erupted during the day, Tian Jinkun and us fled with us. On the Dadu River, they were eaten by the strange fish in the water."

The officers and soldiers didn't believe it: "Oh, such a coincidence? Do you dare to make a promise? If you find out that you are covering up the bandit, you have to treat it as an accomplice, and you have already thought about it."

The man said, "The villain dares not deceive the adults. I have seen this with my own eyes, and there are others who can testify."

After saying that, several more men stood up to testify to him.

The officers and soldiers did not comment and looked at Abbot Shu Ran, who clasped his hands together and said, "Amitabha, what these donors said is not false. Tian Jinkun was indeed killed on the river today, and his body sank to the bottom of the river. The adults only need to investigate clearly."

The officer and soldier said: "Okay, since it is the abbot who testified with many villagers, there must be no falsehood. When I go back, I will report it truthfully and cancel Tian Jinkun. But there is also a bandit who calls himself the "Dragon King". Have you seen it?"

Pu Zixuan smiled in his heart and said: Isn’t this the fucking thing I’m talking about? However, these officers and soldiers are not the same group as the previous military officers. They naturally cannot recognize me just by looking at their appearance. As for my hair, I will let Xiaojiu change his tricks and play with them later.

After asking this question, the refugees were speechless. After looking at each other again, someone said: "It is true that Tian Jinkun is the only bandit on our island, and the others are good people. I hope the adults will investigate clearly!"

Abbot Shu Ran said, "Amitabha, I often go in and out on Fengzhou Island, so I really don't know where other bandits came from."

The officers and soldiers asked, "It's normal that you don't know each other. I heard that they came from Yunnan. Can you stay in Lingyun Temple today?"

"This..." The abbot was relieved and stopped, with a nervous look on his face. He thought of Pu Zixuan, but could not say it clearly, so he had to respond, "The courtyard and the backyard are full of refugees. I have never seen anyone with hair. Since the adults said that he is from Yunnan, would he have left Jiading Mansion? Otherwise, you can go to the inn in the county to check it out."

The officers and soldiers said: "The inns of all sizes have been checked. Without this person, Lingyun Temple is the last suspicious point. We will search immediately. I hope the master will not be surprised."

When the abbot Shu Ran heard this, he hurriedly advised: "Amitabha, the Buddhist temple is a quiet place. You must not be allowed to trample on military affairs at will, otherwise it will annoy the Buddha and Bodhisattva, and you may suffer disaster."

Although the abbot tried his best to dissuade him, the leading officers and soldiers did not buy it and said in a bad tone: "Abbot, don't exaggerate. Now the disaster of the country is the cause of the bandits. We should act impartially at the order of our superiors and capture the bandits and never damage every tree in your temple. This move is to follow the will of heaven. Please ask the abbot to lead us."

Abbot Shu Ran said, "Mencius is compassionate, and I hope that the adults will not make things difficult for me, the old monk."

The officers and soldiers were impatient and shouted, "The old monk really takes himself seriously. Now the country is in trouble. From the emperor to whom we are strangling our belts to live? What are we doing? What are we doing? What are we trying to eliminate all the disobedient people who are slutty and keep you quiet? If the government is not soft-hearted and keeping a group of monks like you who are full of food and do nothing all day long, do you have this small place to chant the scriptures? I have said all my good words to you. The more you refuse to follow, the more I suspect that this person is in the temple. Now, I order to search Lingyun Temple, can you insist on blocking it?"

When the abbot Shu Ran heard this, he had no choice but to let him go and said, "I don't dare. The adults want to search. I will go to the kitchen to arrange breakfast for so many people, so I won't accompany the adults. However, the refugees live in the wing room and the courtyard, so I suggest that the adults search these two places."

"Hmph, there is no need to remind us, we have our own sense of responsibility." After saying that, he made a gesture and said to the officers and soldiers behind him, "Search it all!"
