The next morning, Li Chengyun and Luo Chengyu were about to go out for breakfast when Xu Wenxuan came over.

"Mr. Li, Mrs. Li, I asked the kitchen to cook some breakfast. I don't know if it suits the two of you."

When walking in front of them, Xu Wenxuan suddenly staggered, and then his whole body fell on Li Chengyun.

Li Chengyun moved quickly, pulling Luo Chengyu back diagonally.

Xu Wenxuan fell to the ground abruptly, grunted in pain, and was helped up by his own followers.

Li Chengyun proudly raised the corners of his eyebrows at Luo Chengyu, as if to say: My reaction is fast enough.

Luo Chengyu didn't seem to look at him, but looked at Xu Wenxuan, the person who was trying to seduce his husband, "Mr.

Xu Wenxuan raised his watery eyes and said aggrievedly: "I just want to bring Mr. Li and his wife breakfast."

"It's such a small matter that you have to send a servant to do it. Why bother Mr. Xu to deliver it in person?" Luo Chengyu issued an order to drive away the guests, "Mr. Xu, go back and rest. You are so enthusiastic, we are too embarrassed to bother you at the house gone."

Xu Wenxuan was worried that they were really going to leave, and said, "Then I'll go back to my room first."

Looking at the exquisite breakfast on the table, Luo Chengyu asked Li Chengyun angrily: "Are you still going out to eat?"

Li Chengyun said without hesitation: "Go out to eat." If my wife sees these breakfasts, I'm afraid she will be very angry.

"Chengyu, why don't we go to the inn?"

Luo Chengyu pondered slightly, and just as he was about to say a good word, the secret guard who had been watching at Baicao Hall last night returned.

"Young Master, Young Madam, the old man who was brought to Baicao Hall by Niu Gang did not come out from Baicao Hall, but he is no longer in Baicao Hall, he is gone."

Li Chengyun was stunned, it was not easy to disappear from the dark guard's nose.

He thought for a moment, and then ordered: "Go and find out if any patients disappeared in Baicaotang in the past."

"Yes."

Li Chengyun was silent for a while, and then continued to ask Luo Chengyu: "Do you want to stay in a hotel?"

Luo Chengyu changed his mind: "The wing rooms in Xu's mansion are more comfortable than the inn."

The secret guard acted very quickly, but came back within an hour to report, "Since two years ago, patients in Baicao Hall have disappeared every one or two months, and most of the missing people are foreigners. In the past six months, more people have disappeared. , A series of local people also disappeared, and then the corpses appeared. Someone reported to the official, and the autopsy result was that he died of illness."

Li Chengyun said in a deep voice: "It seems that there is a problem in Baicaotang, continue to investigate. That Niu Gang, you can ask questions from him."

"Yes."

Luo Chengyu looked at Li Chengyun, and added: "Wu Zuo, you can also check to see if he really can't find the problem, or there is something else hidden."

"Do as the young lady tells you."

"Yes."

After the hidden guard retreated, Li Chengyun rubbed Luo Chengyu's head, "I'll be able to find out the matter, just smile."

Luo Chengyu twitched the corner of his mouth almost imperceptibly, then gave Li Chengyun a sideways glance, and said lightly, "You messed up my hair."

Li Chengyun felt guilty for a moment, and then said with bright eyes: "I will comb and tie your hair for you. Li Rong, go buy a comb."

"Master, I brought a comb." Mu Sheng opened his treasure bag.

Li Chengyun combed his hair carefully and clumsily, which made Mu Sheng and the others fearful.

The corner of Luo Chengyu's mouth held a faint smile, as clear and warm as the breeze in spring.

In the end, Li Chengyun looked at his wife's loose hairstyle and said discouragedly: "Let Mu Sheng comb it again."

Luo Chengyu looked at Mu Sheng: "Mirror."

Mu Sheng immediately took out a small mirror and placed it in front of Luo Chengyu, ready to recomb his hair.

Luo Chengyu gently shook his head left and right, looked around, and said with a normal expression: "It's very good, there is no need to re-comb."

Immediately, Li Chengyun's eyes lit up, and then he said with a little embarrassment: "I can comb it well with more practice."

"Who do you want to practice with?" Luo Chengyu gave him a sideways glance lightly.

Li Chengyun raised his index finger and gently scratched his nose, and said with a smile, "Practice with my own hair."

Luo Chengyu curled his lips and asked, "General Liu should have arrived in Fucheng, right?"

Li Chengyun was stunned for a moment, then said: "It's normal for General Liu to arrive a few days later than us to clear up the bandit den."

Luo Chengyu thought to himself, on the way to Fucheng, because they wanted to inquire about Master Yin, they stopped and stopped, which delayed a lot of time.According to common sense, General Liu should have escorted the robbers and the magistrate to Fucheng.

He saw Li Chengyun frowning and thinking, turned his head slightly, and said nothing.

The next day, Liu Yiyang finally escorted a group of people to the government office.

The county magistrate confessed all the crimes, and the magistrate Xu Yongchang sentenced him to be executed in autumn and reported to the Ministry of Punishment for review.

The matter of collusion between officials and bandits was resolved, and Xu Yongchang hosted a banquet in honor of Liu Yiyang.

Li Chengyun and Luo Chengyu attended the banquet, Liu Yiyang was surprised: "The prince and concubine are here?"

"General Liu has made great achievements in suppressing bandits. I heard that Master Xu invited General Liu to a banquet, and this king came here uninvited."

"This time the suppression of the bandits is entirely dependent on the prince, and the general will only sweep the tail and dare not take credit for it."

Xu Yongchang pretended to be ignorant and said: "I don't know the prince and concubine, so I'm neglecting you."

Li Chengyun said: "My king and my concubine travel in modest clothes, and those who don't know it are not guilty. Besides, my king and my concubine are bothering you at the house, and I would like to thank Lord Xu for your hospitality."

Liu Yiyang smiled and said, "Master Xu, this is the king and concubine of Nan'an County."

"See Nan'an County King, County Princess." The people present saluted.

"You are exempt."

Xu Yongchang said respectfully: "My lord and concubine, please take your seat."

Li Chengyun and Luo Chengyu sat at the main seats, and the banquet continued.

Luo Chengyu replaced the wine in front of Li Chengyun with tea, and Li Chengyun peeled the oranges and put them in front of Luo Chengyu.

Xu Wenxuan covered his sleeves and drank, secretly looking at the two people in the main seat.

He thinks that his looks and talents are not bad, what is worse is his status.The princess is the son of the Duke, but he is only the son of the magistrate.

But it doesn't matter, he believes that as long as he manages it properly, he will be able to sit on the main seat one day.

Luo Chengyu's eyes swept over Xu Wenxuan calmly, secretly thinking whether to leave as soon as possible, or wait for the hidden guard to find out about the pharmacy.

The next day, Li Chengyun and Luo Chengyu had just had breakfast when the dark guard came back and returned.

There is a secret passage in Baicao Hall leading to a residential house in the adjacent street. The missing patients were first sent there through the secret passage, then sent out of the city, and finally sent to the cave in the mountain behind the Yin Temple outside the city.

The hidden guard failed to sneak into the cave, but saw Master Yin go in with his own eyes.

Luo Chengyu looked at the hidden guard in disbelief, "Could there be some misunderstanding here? Or, you guys are wrong."

"Reporting to Young Madam, my subordinates should have read it correctly, it is Master Yin."

Li Chengyun held Luo Chengyu's hand, and when he first heard that the person he admired was doing shady things behind his back, his mood was probably extremely complicated.

Luo Chengyu looked at Li Chengyun: "Chengyun, I don't believe it anymore, because the master will do something outrageous, there must be something hidden in it, you promise me, you will find out about this matter."

Li Chengyun patted his head: "I don't believe it either, I will find out."

"Ah."

The dark guard lowered his head and dared not make a sound.

Li Chengyun asked: "Where is Wu Zuo?"

The secret guard replied: "Young master, the assistant is called Han Guang, and he has accepted bribes from Baicaotang. Whether there are other people involved in the government office has yet to be verified."

"Continue to investigate."

"Yes."

After the hidden guard retreated, Luo Chengyu leaned softly in Li Chengyun's arms, "Because the master's reputation spread far and wide, all the people we met along the way praised him. His writing is simple and square, tough and powerful. Those who read can write such words."

Li Chengyun doesn't know calligraphy, but he heard that his calligraphy is like a person, "I trust your judgment, maybe it's because the master has difficulties."

Luo Chengyu's eyes darkened, and she sighed slightly: "If Master Yin really did something bad, we can't let him off lightly. This only shows that he hides well, and everyone in the world has been deceived by him."

"Yeah." Li Chengyun hugged him firmly, "Good and evil will be rewarded in the end, the heavens will forgive anyone."

Luo Chengyu thought for a while and said, "Chengyun, let's go to Guanyin Temple again."

Li Chengyun looked at him helplessly and dotingly, "Okay."

When they were about to go out, Xu Wenxuan came over.

"Will the prince and princess want to go out for a walk? Why don't I be the guide and take the prince and princess around the city to see the customs and customs of Jinan Prefecture."

Luo Chengyu said: "Mr. Xu's legs are so sharp?"

Xu Wenxuan replied with a smile: "It's fine, it's okay."

Luo Chengyu said: "Young Master Xu, the prince and I really want to go out for a walk, but we don't want outsiders to follow us."

Xu Wenxuan choked, and said: "Then there will be no delay for the time of the prince and princess, and the prince and concubine will go slowly."

Li Chengyun didn't say a word the whole time, for fear that Luo Chengyu would be jealous.

After they left, Xu Wenxuan gritted his silver teeth, and said bitterly: "I don't believe it anymore. If he rushes to talk and make decisions like that, the prince can always tolerate him?"

In fact, after the two got into the carriage, Luo Chengyu flattened his lips, "Why didn't you say a word just now?"

"I'm afraid it will affect the concubine's power." Li Chengyun replied almost seamlessly, without a trace of thinking.

Luo Chengyu snorted softly, and said duplicity: "You are the king of the county, and there are many people who throw yourself into your arms, but you have to pick and choose the ones that are put into the house. When I return to the capital, I will carefully select the concubines and concubines for the prince." Candidates, guaranteed to satisfy the prince."

Li Chengyun pressed his head, bit his lips, and let him go after a long time.

It's fun for a daughter-in-law to be jealous, but the more I talk about it, the more I go too far. "Say something I don't like to hear, it's not such a simple punishment."

Luo Chengyu hissed in pain, and complained aggrievedly: "It hurts, you bullied me."

In an instant, Li Chengyun's heart ached, annoyed that he had really bitten his lip, coaxed softly: "It's my fault, it won't hurt after a while."

"Most men have three wives and four concubines, enjoying the blessings of being equal to each other, not to mention you are still a prince." Luo Chengyu continued to dance on the tip of Li Chengyun's heart.

Regarding this issue, they have not talked about it yet, but they will have to face it sooner or later.As for Xu Wenxuan, Luo Chengyu didn't care about him at all.

"How many roles do you want each person to play?"

"Ok?"

"My side concubine, concubine, and Tong Fang, you can't play multiple roles by one person?"

Hearing this, Luo Chengyu finally burst out laughing.

"Laugh, don't you want to be jealous anymore?" Li Chengyun rubbed Luo Chengyu's head vigorously, messing up his hairstyle again.

Luo Chengyu took the comb from Mu Sheng and stuffed it into Li Chengyun's hand, "You should comb your messy hair yourself."

"it is good."

Li Chengyun stopped the carriage on the side of the road and carefully stroked his hair.

Luo Chengyu looked at the newly combed hair in the mirror, and encouraged him: "It's better than last time, my lord will continue to work hard."

Li Chengyun poked his forehead with his fingers, and said helplessly but connivingly: "You are the only one who dares to bully me like this."

Luo Chengyu raised a pair of clear water eyes, and asked softly, "Will the lord let me bully you?"

Li Chengyun was drowning in that pool of autumn water, and kissed his forehead with a pop, "Let."

When they arrived at the Guanyin Temple, it happened to be lunch time.

Master Liao Yin said: "Several benefactors, we meet again. If benefactors don't dislike it, please go to the meditation room to have some fast food."

Li Chengyun said with a smile: "I've wanted to try vegetarian food for a long time, it's very good, we are not polite, and please forgive me if I disturb you."

"Amitabha, this is the relationship between the donor and the Buddha."

Because the master didn't say a word, Li Chengyun didn't say anything more, so he ate fast with Luo Chengyu silently, paying attention to the changes in his expression.

After the fast meal, the little novice brought tea over.

Li Chengyun said: "Ma'am, I'm going out for a walk, you can chat with Master here for a while."

Luo Chengyu nodded and said, "Don't go too far."

"Don't worry, if you don't go far, just walk in the temple."

After Li Chengyun went out alone, Master Liaoyin glanced at Luo Chengyu and his entourage, and said, "The temple is not big, I'm afraid Benefactor Li will find it boring."

Luo Chengyu laughed softly, and said calmly: "My husband doesn't like to hear us talking about Buddhism and calligraphy, so he should go back to the carriage for a nap, and let the master laugh."

"Amitabha, that's how it is."

Afterwards, Luo Chengyu and Master Liaoyin continued to discuss the unfinished topic of calligraphy last time.

"Listening to the master's words is better than reading ten years of books."

"The benefactor is very praised. The benefactor is talented and intelligent. In time, his attainments in calligraphy will surpass that of the old monk."

"The master is too modest. The master promotes Buddhism, saves lives and heals the wounded. I respect him."

"Amitabha Buddha. All actions are impermanent, and everything is suffering. All dharmas have no self, and extinction is joy."

"Master, there is another saying in the Buddhist scriptures. All appearances are false. If you see all appearances and non-appearances, you will see the Tathagata."

"The donor has the root of wisdom."

Luo Chengyu smiled lightly, poured tea for Master Yin and himself, and asked, "How long has Master been here in this temple?"

Master Liaoyin paused, and said, "About two months."

"Master used to be the abbot of Xiangguo Temple, why did he leave Xiangguo Temple and come to this Guanyin Temple alone to place an order?"

"To tell the benefactor, the reason why I left Xiangguo Temple is..." Master Liao Yin paused, "To end a relationship."

Luo Chengyu couldn't help being stunned, and looked at Master Yin in surprise. "Could it be the past of the world before the master became a monk?"

Master Liaoyin looked as usual, he still recited the Buddha's name, and said: "All living beings create delusional thoughts, and their hearts are born with their hearts, so they are always in hell."

Luo Chengyu frowned imperceptibly, "What does Master mean by that?"

"In the cycle of cause and effect, the person who untied the bell must tie it."

"Master, if you need help, please speak up."

"Thank you so much, Amitabha Buddha, you are so kind."

At this time, Li Chengyun came back, he seemed to be drowsy from sleep, he really looked like he had taken a nap.

Luo Chengyu turned to Master Yin and said, "We have been bothering Master for a long time, so we will take our leave."

"The benefactor, walk slowly."

After leaving Guanyin Temple, Luo Chengyu asked with a serious face: "Chengyun, did you find anything?"

"There is something wrong with the monks in the Guanyin Temple. There is a monk who has been secretly guarding outside Master Yin's meditation room, with a fierce look in his eyes."

"Could it be that Master has been coerced?" Luo Chengyu asked anxiously.

"Not necessarily, it may also be to monitor us."

"How could this be?" Luo Chengyu slumped in the carriage as if discouraged, "I tested Master Yin just now, and he seemed to have seen my purpose and said some specious things to me. I have an illusion that he Know who we are and what we're looking for."

Li Chengyun wanted to say that it might not be an illusion, "Tonight Li Qi and Li Chu will come to investigate the Houshan Cave. They are the most outstanding of the hidden guards, and they are also my most capable right-hand men."

"En." In fact, Luo Chengyu knew very well that the disappearance of the patients in Baicaotang was almost confirmed to be related to the Guanyin Temple. What was missing was that they hadn't found out who was involved.
