[Rat cat] Long live the emperor

Bakuya is located in a remote place with simple huts and few people. It is said that it is a place for monks who violated the precepts to think about their mistakes.Although Zhan Zhao grew up in a monastery, he was smart, sensible, lovable, and a martial arts prodigy since childhood.He had never been to a place like Bakuya.

The mountain roads that have not been excavated by humans are more rugged than imagined, and there are countless forks.

Bai Yutang was looking for the way ahead with the simple map given by the abbot, while Zhan Zhao was lazily + bickering behind with Zhao Zhen in his arms.

Zhan Zhao poked Zhao Zhen: "How long have you been studying martial arts? You can't even walk the mountain road well. Are you ashamed?"

Zhao Zhen poked Zhan Zhao back: "You are an adult, you still get lost if you have a map, are you ashamed!"

Bai Yutang, the only reliable one among the three, stood at the fork in the road and sighed: "Go this way, we'll be there soon."

Even though he knew Zhao Zhen's character, Zhan Zhao couldn't help telling him: "Wu Tong has an upright temper, and he didn't like to see people in the court before, and Wu Fan's death was related to the court, so he must have no good face when he sees you. If there are inappropriate words, don't argue with him."

Zhao Zhen squinted his eyes and looked at Zhan Zhao, "I didn't kill people, so it's not good to vent your anger."

Zhan Zhao scratched his chin, "Why don't you go, go back to the bedroom and wait for news."

→_→Hey, the food is on the table, you want me to go home and wait for packing?

Zhao Zhen was a little reconciled, "I will try my best to bear it, and I can't help it before I leave."

Zhan Zhao gave him a high five, "deal!"

"Here we are." Bai Yutang pointed to the stone tablet in front of him, on which were engraved the three characters of 'Eight Kuya'.Kneading the map into powder, Bai Yutang said calmly: "This map is drawn in the opposite direction, and the east and west are upside down. The abbot is either confused, or deliberately punishing us."

Zhan Zhao and Zhao Zhen said in unison: "Bet on a wooden fish! He's trying to trick us on purpose!"

*************

The three of them climbed halfway up the mountain and found that the meditation room occupies a rather large area, but it looks a bit miserable after being in disrepair for a long time.A lot of food and vegetables are planted in front of and behind the house. After monks who violate the precepts go up the mountain, they can be self-sufficient and use it for themselves. It really feels like living in a seclusion in the mountains.

When the three of them came, Wutong was not in the room. After waiting for a while, he heard heavy footsteps.

Zhan Zhao opened the door and saw that Wutong was carrying two buckets of water, so he hurried forward to help.

Wutong's seniority is one generation younger than Zhan Zhao's, but his age is one round older than Zhan Zhao's, and his appearance is two rounds older than Zhan Zhao's.With a strong body, dark eyes, and deep Sichuan lines on his forehead, he looks like a bitter and hateful person.Most monks are benevolent, but this one is a vajra with glaring eyes.

Wutong probably hadn't seen Zhan Zhao for a long time, he was stunned for a while before he recognized him, his face turned cold and he said, "Why is Master Uncle here?"

Zhan Zhao smiled and said, "I haven't seen you for many years. I heard that you are back, so I naturally want to visit you."

Wutong's expression softened slightly, and he said again: "These two benefactors are..."

Zhan Zhao rubbed his chin, feeling that something was wrong, and reached out his hand to signal Bai Yutang, "This is Bai Yutang, my best friend." When he touched Zhao Zhen, his hand shook, "This is Zhao Zhen, my apprentice, whose name is Wukong , can also be considered as your junior brother."

After listening to Zhan Zhao's introduction, Wu Tong saw Zhao Zhen's face getting colder and colder, "Oh, I dare not be that."

Ah? !Oh your sister! (╬￣dish￣)

Zhao Zhen finally understood why Zhan Zhao was worried that he would turn his back on him. This master of Wutong was indeed 'upright', his likes and dislikes were written on his face, without any adulteration, and he would start a group mocking mode as soon as he met.Although Zhan Zhao is young, he is your uncle after all. I am only seven years old this year, and I have never done anything wrong to you. Who are you going to show me with a long face and a sneer!

Not only did Zhao Zhen dislike him, but Bai Yutang's impression of Wutong also dropped to freezing point.

The regret in Zhan Zhao's heart~ I should have known that Wu Tong's temper was so bad that he hadn't seen him for a few years, so he came here by himself!

Zhan Zhao was in poor health when he was a child, and Wu Tong took good care of him. Zhan Zhao remembered Wu Tong's kindness, and always regarded him as an elder, and it was fine to receive a few sarcastic remarks.But Zhao Zhen and Bai Yutang were more arrogant than the other, how could they bear this anger, why don't they let them go back first?

Zhan Zhao quickly smoothed things over: "I was in poor health when I was a child, thanks to Master Wutong to take care of me."

Bai Yutang reluctantly nodded. Zhao Zhen was a little stronger than him, so he gave him a smile, "Hello, Senior Brother Wutong."

Zhao Zhen wanted to calm things down, but Wu Tong didn't appreciate it, and his tone was so cold that it was icy. "The emperor came to visit, but he never greeted him from afar. The meditation room is dilapidated, and the poor monk will not see him off." The implication is to see off the guests.It's still polite to see off guests, but to put it bluntly, it's just one word - get out!

Zhao Zhen's eyes sank, and he smiled brighter at Wutong. —— Zhan Zhao really started to have a headache.

Zhao Zhen said bluntly: "We are here today to investigate the cause of Master Wufan's death."

Wutong seemed to have guessed it a long time ago, he was unmoved, and still had a stinky face, "Don't dare to bother the emperor."

"You don't want to avenge Master Wufan?" Zhao Zhen asked.

Wutong said bitterly: "If the murderer does not subdue the law, the poor monk will not die with peace in his eyes!"

Zhao Zhen smiled brightly, "That's right, as long as I get in the way, let alone a single monk, even a hundred monks, a thousand monks, or a whole monastery are useless. I want to kill you You don’t even need to get your hands dirty, and countless people are crying and shouting to share my worries. When you die, nothing happens, and I guarantee that you will never see the day when the murderer will be punished.”

Wutong didn't take Zhao Zhen's threats at all.The news that the case had been handed over to Kaifeng Mansion spread throughout the monastery, so he naturally heard about it.He guessed that Zhan Zhao would come to him, but he didn't expect Zhao Zhen to come in person... Looking at Zhao Zhen, he couldn't help but get angry!

Although Wutong rejected the imperial court, he still believed in Mr. Bao, so he was not afraid. He concluded that Zhao Zhen would not dare to kill him!

Zhao Zhen continued to laugh and said: "I know you are not afraid, because you are sure that I dare not kill you. You know that I am a reasonable person, you know that I want to show my master face, you know that I will not easily offend Zhen Guosi, you I even know that none of the military officials in North Korea and Chinese will watch me kill innocent people indiscriminately. So you are not afraid, you are not afraid at all..."

Wutong was guessed right, his expression changed drastically, and he looked at Zhao Zhen in surprise.

"What is supporting your arrogance?" Zhao Zhen sneered, "It is my kindness that allows you to make progress. It is the master who made up for your smile. These, what are you!"

"Advancing every inch, repaying favors, regardless of right and wrong." Zhao Zhen said indifferently: "You are nothing more than that."

Zhao Zhen went around in a big circle, finally said what he wanted to say, felt very relieved, and happily rolled away.

Bai Yutang also stood up, "Grandmaster has no Buddha in his mouth, and there is no Buddha in his heart, so it's better to get out of the vulgar as soon as possible."

**************

Zhao Zhen and Bai Yutang left, leaving Wutong with a livid face and Zhan Zhao who breathed a sigh of relief.

Wu Tong felt apprehensive.I thought Zhao Zhen was a child, stab him a few words, at most go back and cry, it's no big deal.Looking at it now, Zhao Zhen is simply a little monster. Even if he can't do it on the surface, who knows if he will get in the way secretly.

Wutong is not afraid of death, he is only afraid that the murderer will go unpunished, and he is afraid that he will not be able to see the murderer's death with his own eyes in his lifetime!

Wu Tong was silent for a long time, and asked Zhan Zhao, "Will he get angry and cover up the murderer?"

"No!" Zhan Zhao shook his head firmly.Zhao Zhen is just unforgiving, but not so small-minded.

"Alas..." Wutong sighed, "I was reckless, forgive me, uncle."

Zhan Zhao was also helpless, "You are not like this usually, I know you have difficulties."

Wu Tong's face darkened, "I know who is behind the scenes!"

Zhan Zhao was taken aback, "Who is it?"

**************

Coming out of Wutong, Zhan Zhao was full of doubts, and he was in an unhappy mood.

When they came, the three of them talked and laughed. (Isn’t it you, master and apprentice, joking, Bai Wuye shoulders the heavy responsibility of navigation? →_→)

When he was leaving, he was alone. (I won’t spit on you if you’re so pitiful~)

Zhan Zhao hangs his head, hands behind his back, kicking pebbles all the way, the back is depressed~~

"Cat, you are picking up money with your head down."

Eh? !Zhan Zhao was taken aback for a moment, and saw Bai Yutang looking at him from a distance, with that expression, it seemed that he couldn't help but laugh?

Zhan Zhao's mood brightened immediately with a 'hula', and he ran forward in three steps at a time, "So you didn't leave!"

Bai Yutang couldn't help but pull the corner of his mouth into a smile.Zhan Zhao's reaction was really interesting, just now he was pulling his ears up, like a dejected cat, but in a blink of an eye he was full of energy again.Bai Wuye nodded: A lively cat is more pleasing to the eye, and a poor cat is occasionally adjusted.

Standing two steps away from Bai Yutang, Zhao Zhen let out a long sigh, and gave a silent look of contempt.

What do you mean by "So you didn't leave?" It's obvious that two people are waiting, so I don't have a sense of existence? !

Master, with a knife on Sezi's head, how much do you want to value sex and despise disciples? !

(╬￣盘￣)>>>>>>>>I am so tired, I feel like I can’t love anymore!

**********

The three returned to Zhao Zhen's bedroom, and Bao Zheng Gongsun was already waiting inside.

Gongsun took out his records, "Because the case is too long, I only checked the victims in the last few days."

"Most of the corpses showed symptoms of accidental death. The first deceased, Ruchen, fell to his death from a cliff; Cheng also died from the attack of wild animals." Gongsun took out a form, "I asked the monks in the temple how the dead died before, drew this form, and found that all of them died by accident."

Master Bao frowned, "How is the corpse?"

"The death is extremely tragic." Gongsun paused, "Huguo Temple is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and there are often wild animals infesting. All the corpses were damaged to varying degrees. Some internal organs were eaten, and some faces were severely damaged. The name, I am afraid that even the corpse cannot be identified."

Zhao Zhen suddenly said: "The face is ruined, will someone impersonate it?"

Gongsun shook his head, "I had the same doubts. I asked the monks who were familiar with the deceased and confirmed that the deceased was himself."

"The gnawing of wild beasts may be to cover up other wounds." Bai Yutang said, "Some Jianghu people, after killing people, will destroy the special marks left by their own weapons, or simply destroy the traces."

Gongsun smiled, "You really hit the point. These corpses were wounded by knives, and they were not ordinary knives. They were post-mortem knives. These knife marks were all caused after death, but it's a pity that the knife marks were bitten by wild animals. Bitten, unable to see the intention of the knife."

"It's the heart!" Zhan Zhao answered suddenly, and everyone looked at him.

"Wu Tong told me that he found Wu Fan's body in Fenglin a few years ago. At that time, Wu Fan's body was warm, obviously he had just died. There were no beasts around Wu Fan, but his stomach was ripped open and his heart was missing. It flew away, so Wutong didn't believe it was an accident."

"He has someone to suspect." Zhao Zhen raised his eyebrows, "I was hostile to me when we first met. Could it be that the murderer has something to do with me?"

Zhan Zhao smiled wryly, "Wu Tong doubted the late emperor."
