Xiao Zhanqiu didn't move.

Waiting until Shao Ting had vented enough and the strength of holding him became loose, he pinched him by the back of the collar and dragged him away, and said with disgust on his face: "You are so dirty, don't hug me."

I didn't expect the leader to be so arrogant.

Shao Ting couldn't help breaking his tears into a smile, wiped his eyes and asked, "Master, why are you here?"

Xiao Zhanqiu glared at him and said, "You still dare to ask me? Who allowed you to play and disappear without saying hello?"

Shao Ting said flatly: "You think I want to disappear, I was kidnapped, okay! If I hadn't tried my best to escape, you would see my dead body in a few days!"

Xiao Zhanqiu glared at him again, then turned his eyes to Xiao Rong: "Who is this guy?"

Seen by his cold gaze, Xiao Rong took two steps back, and said bravely, "I, my name is Xiao Rong, and I escaped with Brother Shao."

Xiao Zhanqiu didn't make a sound.

Shao Ting tugged at his sleeve and said: "Let's leave here first, I'm afraid the group of monks will catch up if we stay any longer."

Xiao Rong repeatedly nodded in agreement.

"It's just a bunch of bald donkeys, there's nothing wrong with it." Even so, Xiao Zhanqiu picked up Shao Ting, who was despised by him just now, and flew away from the woods.

Just as Shao Ting was about to tell someone to bring Xiao Rong up, he saw a hidden guard jumping down from a tree, picking up Xiao Rong and following him.

It was the first time for Xiao Rong to experience lightness kung fu, her face turned pale with fright, but she tried her best not to cry out.

Xiao Zhanqiu took Shao Ting back to Huainan Palace.

As soon as I got back to the guest room, someone came in carrying hot water.

Shao Ting glanced at Xiao Zhanqiu, and Xiao Zhanqiu motioned him to take a bath quickly.

Shao Ting was speechless for a moment.

Do you want to be like this, leader, I have been disgusted from just now, isn't he just a little dirty, it is not easy to risk escape just to get dirty clothes without getting hurt, okay?The leader didn't know how to comfort his frightened weak heart, that's too much!

While cursing, Shao Ting took off his clothes and stepped into the water.

After taking a hot bath, Master Xiao had already changed his clothes and sat outside waiting.

Shao Ting twitched the corners of his mouth, and before he could speak, Xiao Zhanqiu spoke first: "You were taken away by the monks of the Bodhi Temple during the day and night you disappeared?"

Mentioning this, Shao Ting was immediately filled with righteous indignation, and he recounted what happened to him that day and night, and also told about the evil deeds of the monks that Xiao Rong told him, and finally said: "Master, we Never let them go easily!"

If he dared to kidnap a member of the Demon Cult, he would naturally not let him go easily, and would make them have no choice but to live or die.

This point does not need to be reminded by Shao Ting, and Xiao Zhanqiu will never forget it.

While talking, Xiao Rong was brought in after cleaning herself up.

She was imprisoned by those monks for too long, and only the two times she was taken out to sell had her body washed hastily. After being rescued this time, she was taken to the legendary palace to wash, and even washed a bucket of water black. Xiao Rong was so ashamed that her whole body was on fire.

At the same time, I couldn't help wondering, is the little brother surnamed Shao a relative of the prince?

Shao Ting had just finished explaining to Xiao Zhanqiu, but he was an outsider after all, so he didn't know much about it. When he saw Xiao Rong coming, he immediately called her in.It is a pity that although Xiao Rong knows more than Shao Ting, she is still a victim locked up in the basement most of the time, and the information she knows is limited.

"I only know that the kidnapped women are divided into two categories. Master Shuoyang from a wealthy family will tie yellow cloth strips on them. If their husbands are willing to pay the ransom, they will send these women back." Xiaorong said Then, he couldn’t help showing a bitter smile, “The other type is people like me, who come from a poor family but are pretty good-looking, and would be sold away after being teased. If I hadn’t tried my best to resist , aroused the disgust of the madam, maybe she would have picked up the guests in a Qinlou Chu Pavilion long ago."

Xiao Rong took out a red cloth strip from her sleeve and handed it to Shao Ting: "To those monks, we are like goods, anyone can trample on them wantonly, and dispose of them when we get tired of playing with them."

Shao Ting had seen a lot of news about abduction and trafficking of women in modern times. At that time, he was so angry with the enemy, but he didn't want to travel to ancient times and encounter terrible incidents that were even more damaging to the three views than those in the news.

Master Shuoyang is even worse than those group of human traffickers!

Xiao Zhanqiu had been listening quietly from the beginning to the end, and at this moment he suddenly asked: "Don't you find it strange? The reputation of Bodhi Temple has spread since three years ago. During these three years, there were not a hundred or five kidnapped people. Ten, has no one ever reported the case?"

Shao Ting and Xiao Rong were stunned upon hearing this.

Even poor families will definitely find their wives if they disappear, and it doesn’t cost money to report to the official. It is impossible for everyone to hold back and not report to the official, so the only possibility is...

"Officials and bandits colluded." A word spit out from Shao Ting's mouth.

Xiao Zhanqiu nodded, he thought so too.

Xiao Rong's complexion suddenly became ugly. If this was the case, how would she, a commoner, fight against the government?

Shao Ting said, "Wouldn't the King of Huainan not care about this kind of thing?"

"These matters are not under Liu Chengying's control. He is a feudal lord, not a magistrate." Xiao Zhanqiu said, "Besides, it is generally impossible for ordinary people to get close to him. The consequences of leapfrogging and suing are very serious."

Also, the situation of stopping sedan chairs in the street to file a complaint generally only occurs in Two-dimensional.

Shao Ting said: "Then who are the magistrates of this generation?"

Xiao Zhanqiu glanced outside the house and said, "Then I'll ask Liu Chengying."

"What what? Who is looking for me?" Said that Cao Cao Cao Cao had arrived, Liu Chengying walked in from the outside with a smile, and sighed exaggeratedly when she saw Shao Ting, "I found you back, you don't even know, you are missing That night, Xiao Zhanqiu almost smashed the Bodhi Temple overnight, and I tried to persuade him to come back."

When Shao Ting heard this, he looked at Xiao Zhanqiu in surprise.

Xiao Zhanqiu's expression did not change.

Shao Ting pursed his lips and snickered twice, and continued to ask Liu Chengying: "Does the King of Huainan know which official Bodhi Temple belongs to?"

Liu Chengying thought for a while, and said, "The Bodhi Temple should be considered under the jurisdiction of Huaiping County, what's the matter, do you want to report to the government?"

"It is indeed to report to the official," Shao Ting curled his lips, "but it is not an ordinary report to the official."

Liu Chengying: "?"

Due to running around all night, Shao Ting was already exhausted, and after meeting Xiao Zhanqiu, he has been struggling.Now that it was finally safe, Shao Ting forced Xiao Jiaozhu, who also hadn't had much rest all day and night, to bed, and slept with him in his arms.

Although Xiao Zhanqiu said he was disgusted, he didn't pull away Shao Ting's hand from his waist.

Before he knew it, he actually fell asleep with Shao Ting.

Slept right past lunch.

Shao Ting found that he woke up hungry most of the time, and couldn't help but wonder if this body was Ba Jie's reincarnation, otherwise why he was always hungry, and his appetite was twice as large as his modern self.

After a full meal, Shao Ting took Xiao Jiaozhu to the Huaiping county government office.

Before beating the drums, Shao Ting told Xiao Zhanqiu in every possible way, telling him not to act like a debtor, but to look anxious or even painful, after all, he is a man who lost his wife.However, the Goose Xiao leader couldn't make such an expression. In the end, Shao Ting chose to give up and just acted by himself. At any rate, he was a little confident in his acting skills.

The county magistrate of Huaiping is an out-and-out scholar, at least from his looks.

After he was promoted, he patted the gavel lightly as described in the play, and asked, "Who is in the hall?"

Standing in the courtroom, Shao Ting was extremely thankful that this dynasty didn't need to kneel before meeting officials, he himself didn't care, otherwise, with the arrogance of the leader Xiao, he would have been spotted as soon as he came in.

Shao Ting replied according to the original draft: "Xiaomin's surname is Shao, and the single name is Ting. This is Xiaomin's elder brother. His surname is Shao and his name is Qiu. The drumming is for Xiaomin's sister-in-law. We are The businessmen who passed by here heard that there is a Bodhi Temple here that is quite effective, so they took their sister-in-law to pay homage to Guanyin at the temple fair two days ago. Not wanting that my sister-in-law accidentally got the opportunity to meet Master Shuoyang, so she followed a master I went there, but never came back, so I came to beat the drums and asked my lord to help me find it."

The magistrate of Huaiping County was not stupid, after hearing what he said, he turned his eyes to Xiao Zhanqiu's face and asked, "Your sister-in-law is missing, why hasn't your elder brother said a word yet?"

"My lord, I'm really sorry," Shao Ting sneered, "Xiaomin, brother, is born with a stutter, and he can't speak when he meets strangers. Please forgive me."

The magistrate of Huaiping twitched his eyebrows, but he didn't ask any more questions: "Okay, the county understands. You can tell the master about your sister-in-law's appearance later, and the county will try its best to send people to look for it. She will leave the hall."

After speaking, without waiting for Shao Ting to stay, he left the court directly.

It's over so soon?

Shao Ting was full of drafts and hadn't played much, so he was a little dumbfounded.

But the master had already waved to him, so Shao Ting had no choice but to swallow his words back, describing a woman's face that didn't exist.

When he came out of the yamen, Shao Ting still couldn't react, he grabbed Xiao Zhanqiu's arm and said, "There must be something wrong with the county magistrate, how can anyone try a case like this?"

Xiao Zhanqiu asked back: "Then how should the case be tried?"

Shao Ting murmured.

Xiao Zhanqiu's expression immediately became strange: "The method of trying cases you mentioned shouldn't exist."

Shao Ting: "..."

Yes, it only exists in TV series.

At this moment, Xiao Zhanqiu frowned suddenly, listened for a moment, then picked up Shao Ting, and jumped up and down the wall.

Shao Ting hung his breath on his chest and was almost frightened to death.

I couldn't help but be glad that they had already walked out for a while, otherwise they would be seen by the people in the yamen, and the plan would definitely be passed through.

Xiao Zhanqiu led Shao Ting all the way to the previous grove.

Two hidden guards came down from the tree and reported to Xiao Zhanqiu—the Bodhi Temple closed today to thank visitors for some reason. They were afraid that half of the monks would be let go, and they had been closely monitoring their movements. There was a strange noise, but when I went to check it, I found that the temple was empty, and everyone had disappeared!

"How is this possible!" Shao Ting couldn't believe it.

It's only been a day, have the group of monks found out that he fled back to rescue soldiers?This unscientific!

Xiao Zhanqiu frowned the whole time, and took Shao Ting to search the Bodhi Temple again, and sure enough, there was no one there!Even the dungeon where the women were held was empty!

It was only at this time that Shao Ting realized that the small forest before was the back mountain of Bodhi Temple.

It turned out that when he escaped this morning, he really hadn't escaped from the sphere of influence of those monks. If he hadn't met Xiao Zhanqiu, he might have been arrested.

Recalling the secret path, Shao Ting quickly took Xiao Zhanqiu's hand, and said in a deep voice, "I think there is a secret path in the temple."

Xiao Zhanqiu paused: "Where is it?"

"...I don't know." As soon as Shao Ting finished speaking, a flash of light flashed in his mind, "Let's go to Guanyin Hall!"

Didn't he see the Avalokitesvara blinking before? It must not be an illusion. There is definitely something wrong with the Avalokitesvara statue!Shao Ting believed in his intuition very much.

When he arrived at the Avalokitesvara Hall, Shao Ting couldn't wait to climb up on the legs and arms of the stone statue, and began to feel for the eyes of the Avalokitesvara statue.

The result let him down.

The eyes of the Avalokitesvara statue seem to be fixed and cannot move at all.

Did he guess wrong?

Shao Ting got down from the Avalokitesvara statue in puzzlement, and returned to Xiao Zhanqiu's side with some disappointment.

Xiao Zhanqiu glanced at him silently, then suddenly raised his palm, and directly smashed the left leg and abdomen of the Avalokitesvara Statue with internal force, exposing the hollow interior.

Shao Ting went up to take a look, and was immediately surprised.

There is actually a secret passage inside the stone statue!

Without further ado, Shao Ting gave Leader Xiao a warm hug: "Master, you are really amazing, I admire you so much!"

The secret guard who followed behind the two coughed dryly, and turned his eyes away in embarrassment.
