Let's follow the king, little master

In the fasting hall, we could only see the uniform movements of the monks eating, but no sound could be heard. Everyone was eating quietly.

Li Mu and Zhang Xia finished their meal faster than usual, and returned to the dormitory early.After changing his clothes, he waited at the door of the Zhaitang.Today, Bhikkhu Renhai is going to take two people to the market to buy some commonly used items in the temple.

Monk Du Chi is in retreat, so Li Mu can just prepare breakfast for the master every day, so he can go shopping with Zhang Xia at other times.

Since arriving in Cong County, except for the time with Yu Che, Li Mu has never been down the mountain.Zhang Xia is different, he will follow the master down the mountain when he has nothing to do, saying that he is helping the master to get things, but in fact it is fresh and fresh.

Ren Hai looked at things in front of him, and Zhang Xia also pulled Li Mu to look around for new things. Li Mu swept away the dullness of this period of time. After all, he was a child, and he was very happy to study new things.

Some of the people around were already familiar with Zhang Xia, but they were new to Li Mu who was wearing a monk's attire. In addition, Li Mu was cute, and wearing a small version of the monk's attire was even more adorable.Knowing that Li Mu will not buy it, he will let him play with things, or give Li Mu something to eat.Zhang Xia came out quite a few times with his master, and the people around were curious that there would be such an idler in Wude Temple, so they all avoided him, so this time Zhang Xia got a lot of Li Mu's favor.

It just so happened that something happened the first time Li Mu came out of the temple.Li Mu and Zhang Xia were playing in the back. Although Li Mu looked at the master from time to time, he still couldn't help being attracted by new things, so when there were noisy sounds from around, the two of them were still immersed in their own thoughts. in the world.

Bhikkhu Renhai was standing in front of a food stall picking things, and saw an old man in a restaurant being coaxed out. The old man who was kicked to the ground tried his best to stand up but was stopped by two young and strong men.

"Grandpa." A boy's cry came from inside, the voice was immature, about six or seven years old.

The old man was stopped, and a man in red fine silk came out, holding a fan in his hand and looked at the old man arrogantly.

"If you want your grandson to live, bring the money." The man said, pointing to his clothes, "My clothes are worth 100 taels. I can't wear them anymore after touching your dirty hands, so I took out 100 taels." I will let your grandson go."

The old man was just struggling desperately, with his mouth open but he couldn’t make a sound, only the boy’s cries were heard around him, when Li Mu and Li Mu who heard the sound ran over, Bhikkhu Renhai handed them things and stopped those who wanted to leave man.

"Benefactor." Ren Hai said, looking at the man who looked at him arrogantly, "This old man can't speak, and he can't afford 100 taels no matter what he wears. Why don't the benefactor give this clothes to the poor monk? Wash it and return it to the benefactor. The benefactor will let the man go..."

"Why are you a monk joining in the fun?" The man frowned and interrupted Ren Hai's words.After speaking, he pushed Ren Hai aside.

"Benefactor." Ren Hai stood up, and was about to step forward to persuade him again, when the men under the man punched and kicked Ren Hai.

The people around were stunned. If Buddhists were protected by the imperial court, this was second, mainly because of the prevalence of Buddhism, and everyone respected monks very much.

However, people around spread the word about who this man was and everyone held their breaths. This man was Han Wei, the son of the county magistrate. If you say that the magistrate of Congxian County is definitely a good official, he treats the people like a son.It's just that after giving birth to such a disobedient son, Han Wei usually does nothing, eats and drinks for free, and has a big hobby, which is visiting brothels.

Li Mu and Zhang Xia watched Ren Hai being beaten, and hurried forward. Li Mu had practiced martial arts with the masters of Zhongli for a while, while Zhang Xia was not proficient in martial arts but had brute force, but they were still children after all. Can't match a strong adult.

At this moment, a boy not much older than Li Mu appeared in an ice-blue silk dress, with half-haired hair holding a blue-blue sword.Before the sword was out of its sheath, he beat the man away with three punches and two kicks, but it was a pity that the old man's grandson had already been taken away.

The boy's teacher helped the old man up, and Li Mu and Zhang Xia quickly helped Renhai up when he saw that he was gone.After being lifted up, the old man held the hand of the boy master.

"Don't worry, old man, we will bring your grandson back." The boy's master said.

"Where does the old man live? I've never seen it before." Ren Hai asked.

The old man made gestures with his hands, and seeing the confusion of the crowd, he took out a very old cloth with the words: Shen Haide-Muhui Township.Muhui Township is far away from Cong County, and it takes a day's journey.

"Why don't you go to the temple with me, old man, and let this benefactor pick up your grandson. How about it?" Renhai asked.

The old man nodded, and the boy's master said to Renhai: "Then I will be in charge of you, Master."

"The master is injured, why don't you go to the monastery, I'll go and let the child go." The boy said.

"I don't know that the benefactor is injured, so let this little benefactor go and let these two children lead the way. Just go to the county government to find the county master." Ren Hai said.

"Well, Yu'er, be careful." The master said.After speaking, he supported the old man and left with Ren Hai.

Zhang Xia saw that Bhikkhu Renhai had left, but he had a good time, and asked the boy while leading the way:

"My name is Zhang Xia, what's your name?"

"Qin Yu." Qin Yu said, then looked at Li Mu.

"His name is Li Mu." Without waiting for Qin Yu to ask, Zhang Xia said, and then continued to ask, "What faction is your series of movements?" Zhang Xia gestured while talking.

"Donglin faction." Qin Yu said.

"Where is your home? Is the master still recruiting? Do you think I can do it?" Zhang Xia said.

Seeing that Qin Yu was going to get angry, Li Mu, who was trying to wink, quickly pointed to the sign in front of him and said:

"Is it coming soon?"

"Yes, this is it." Zhang Xia walked forward quickly, ready to strike the gong.

Qin Yu, who finally had clean ears, looked at Li Mu, and Qin Yu said:

"how old are you?"

"Just passed my tenth birthday."

"That's three years younger than me." Qin Yu nodded.

At this time, the sound of Zhang Xia beating the drum came from the yamen, and the two walked quickly to the yamen, but just as they reached the yamen, two servants walked out of the yamen.

"Don't knock, you didn't see the notice written today, the master has nothing to do when he goes to the capital." One of the guards in his 30s with a little stubble said.

"If the county master is not around, there must be something in charge. Your young master has snatched away the child. There must be an explanation." Qin Yu said.

The guards looked at each other, and the guard who still had some stubble said:

"We can take care of other things if the master is not there, but we can't take care of the young master's affairs. If you want to find it, go to the backyard and go to the lady directly."

"No need." Qin Yu said, he had already seen that no one could control the county master's son, "Just tell me, where can I find your young master."

"Secretly." The bearded guard said in a low voice, "If he abducts a woman, he will go to a brothel. If he abducts a man, he will go to Qingmu Hutong, No. [-]." The guard said He also reached out and made a five gesture.

Qin Yu left after saying thank you, and asked Zhang Xia to take them to Qingmu Hutong, Zhang Xia showed embarrassment.

"What's wrong?" Li Mu said, he also noticed the unnatural expression on the guard's face when he said number five.

"I've also heard rumors that this number five, I heard it is." He whispered to Li Mu and the two of them and said, "The place to raise a small official."

"What is a place to raise petty officials?" Li Mu said, before Zhang Xia finished speaking, he held his mouth directly.

"Being so loud, Yang Yang is just..."

"Okay, let's go directly, you lead the way." Qin Yu interrupted what Zhang Xia wanted to explain, "We have to save people. I also have to explain to the master."

Hearing what Qin Yu said, Zhang Xia led the way to Qingmu Hutong. This Qingmu Hutong was cleaner than other places, and there were not many pedestrians passing by occasionally.

"Li Mu, just wait here." Zhang Xia said sternly.

"Why, I'm going too. What if there is danger? Multiple people will take care of you." Li Mu said.

Qin Yu nodded. He didn't say what he planned to persuade Li Mu. He just said let's go, and the three of them came to No. [-] Qingmu Hutong.
