Chapter 1066 Bronze Buddha
The Buddhist temple in the General's Mansion is located in the backyard. It is a quiet inner courtyard, very quiet, and there is not even a servant serving next to it. At this time, the Buddhist temple is surrounded by a group of swords and guns. If the assassin is really inside the Buddhist temple, it will be difficult to fly even if it has wings.
Surrounded by everyone, Chu Huan came to the inner courtyard. Dongfang Xin followed Chu Huan and arrived in the inner courtyard. He saw Hao Tong leading several guards to block the main entrance of the Buddhist temple with a cold expression.
There were lights in the Buddhist temple, but the door was closed.
"Sir, there is no search here now." Xuanyuan Sheng reported: "If the assassin still has a hiding place, it can only be here."
Chu Huan looked at Hao Tong, then turned to look at Dongfang Xin. Dongfang Xin knew Chu Huan's meaning. At this time, all the officials were here. The Buddhist temple was the last suspicion. If the assassin stopped him again, it would make the other party even more suspicious. Moreover, judging from today's situation, Chu Huan would not give up without searching for the Buddhist temple. Even if he was reluctant, there would be no way.
Dongfang Xin was extremely resentful and angry at Chu Huan, but the situation was stronger than others. He just wanted to pass this level and settle the score with Chu Huan again. Moreover, he really didn't think Zhao Xin would hide in the general's mansion.
Zhao Xin is not a stupid person. He violated the plan set by Dongfang Xin in advance. Of course, he knew what the consequences were. Even if he had the courage, he would not dare to sneak back to the general's mansion.
"The General of the Mo is a military general, and he must serve the imperial court, and he must be killed." Dongfang Xin looked very calm, "The General of the Mo is in his hands. In order to eliminate the murderous aura of the General of the Mo is, the Prince will respect the Buddha in the Buddhist temple every day, so the Prince of the Prince will eliminate the blood in his hands... Only the Prince of the Prince of the People is inside, and the assassin will never appear here." He raised his hand and signaled to dodge it out of pain.
Hao Tong then led the people away. Dongfang Xin went forward and opened the door himself. When the door was a Buddha statue that was tall by one person. It was a bronze statue of Sakyamuni. In front of the statue was an incense table offering incense. On the side of the incense table was a futon. A woman wearing a black veil was kneeling on the futon and worshiping the Buddha devoutly. After Dongfang Xin pushed the door, the woman still did not look back and was extremely calm.
"Xiaoyun..." Dongfang Xin's voice was quite gentle, "What other people can you see here?"
The woman did not look back, but replied in a calm and emotional voice: "No, there is only Buddha here, no one!"
Dongfang Xin turned around and Chu Huan was just around him. "Governor, you can see at a glance at the Buddhist temple. It is really impossible for the assassin to appear here."
Chu Huan carried his hands on his back, looked at the door, glanced a few times, and saw that the Buddhist temple was really simple. Apart from the incense table and the bronze Buddha, there was no unnecessary burden. He nodded slightly and frowned and said, "What General Dongfang said is that the assassin really doesn't seem to be here... It seems that someone is spreading rumors and causing trouble."
"Sir, will Rong Bei take people in and look for it?" Xuanyuan Sheng was just behind.
Dongfang Xin sneered: "Xuanyuan Shengcai, the Buddhist temple is small and can be seen at a glance, what else can I find?"
"General Dongfang doesn't need to be angry." Chu Huan smiled and said, "This is also Xuanyuan's duty and responsibility, thinking about the safety of the general's mansion." Xiang Xuanyuan Sheng said, "Xuanyuan, there are indeed no people here. If you are really worried, take two people in and take a look. In the middle of the night, you will also withdraw your troops to rest early... Mrs. Dongfang is worshiping Buddha, so you must not disturb your wife."
Dongfang Xinxin thought, if you have a big fight, there is anything else to disturb you or not, but naturally you won’t say this. He raised his hand and sneered: “Xuanyuan Shengcai, just go in and search, don’t worry about whether you will disturb the villain. It’s important to find the assassin. You said that the assassin sneaked into the general’s mansion, but I hope you can really find him.”
Xuanyuan Sheng ignored his ridicule and brought a few guard warriors into the Buddhist temple. Chu Huan turned around and smiled: "Thank you all tonight. It seems that the assassin is not here. When Xuanyuan comes out, everyone will return to their homes. Our governor will continue to arrange for people to capture the fugitives." Xiang Dongfang Xin smiled and said: "General Dongfang, today is disturbed. Things are very strange. Don't be surprised."
"The general of Mo will not be accused of being accused of the assassination of Lord Dong, but the murderer who assassinated Lord Dong was not arrested, which made Mo Jiang uneasy." Dongfang Xin said: "The general of Mo will continue to send people to search for the assassins, and must turn the assassin..."
Before he could finish his words, Xuanyuan Shengcai's voice had already heard from over there, "Sir!"
Chu Huan's eyebrows tightly and turned his head to look. He saw that Xuanyuan Shengcai and several warriors were already holding swords in their hands, with sharp eyes, staring at the bronze Buddha.
Dongfang's faith sank. Chu Huan reached his hand to his waist. His blood-drinking knife was around his waist, holding the hilt, and then he stepped over. Xuanyuan Sheng pointed to the bronze Buddha. Chu Huan looked over, but saw a trace of blood on the bronze Buddha.
Chu Huan whispered, and Xuanyuan Sheng made a gesture, and several guards rushed into the Buddhist temple. Everyone surrounded the bronze Buddha and pointed the blade forward.
Mrs. Dongfang's face, whose calmness, changed color in horror, and she said in a lost voice: "What are you...what are you going to do?"
Chu Huan raised his hand, and the two warriors had already stepped forward to pull Mrs. Dongfang, and he walked out. Dongfang Xin's face changed drastically and he said in a deep voice: "You are so bold, why do you touch my wife?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Huan's voice was already extremely cold: "You haven't come out yet?"
Dongfang Xin was stunned, and Chu Huan continued: "We know that you are hiding in the bronze Buddha. If you don't want to die, come out quickly. As long as you confess the real murderer behind the scenes, you may not be unable to survive!"
Many officials were already crowding in front of the Buddhist temple, protruding their heads and looking inside.
Suddenly, the bronze Buddha made a sound, and everyone was even more alert. Hearing a "click" sound, the bronze Buddha suddenly opened, but the bronze Buddha hid another mystery, which was hollow inside, which could allow people to hide. When the mechanism was opened, a shadow had already erupted from it, and then slashed it. Chu Huan leaned forward and waved the knife to meet it. With a "choke", sparks splattered everywhere, and then heard a "click" sound. The man's big sword touched the blood-drinking knife, but it instantly broke into two pieces.
The man was shocked. Before he could react, Chu Huan bullied himself, and had already grabbed the man's collar. He roared, and used force in his hand to throw the man out. The man couldn't help but fly out, and with a "bang", he hit the wall. The sound of bone shattering sounded, and then the man slid down softly from the wall. Xuanyuan Sheng had already had a long sword and was already on the man's neck.
This incident was very sudden, and in a flash, many people even didn't know how the assassin emerged.
The man's outfit was exactly the same as the assassin who escaped from Beiwang Tower. He had not had time to change his clothes, and his left arm had been bandaged. Anyone could tell that his left arm must have been injured, and the assassin who escaped from Beiwang Tower was injured by Chu Huan's arm with a teapot.
Dongfang Xin's eyes twitched, and Madam Dongfang's face showed a sad look, and she said in a trembling voice: "You... don't hurt him..." Dongfang Xin heard Madam Dongfang say this, turned his head and looked at Madam Dongfang. Seeing that her face was full of worry, she felt even more angry and said in a deep voice: "You bitch, you dare to hide an assassin?"
Mrs. Dongfang glanced at Dongfang Xin, and there was a resentment in her eyes, but she didn't say anything.
Chu Huan had already put away the blood-drinking knife, stared at the assassin, and asked, "Are you the assassin who escaped from the North Point Tower?"
"It's me." The assassin looked very backbone, with his eyes full of resentment, staring at Chu Huan's eyes: "It's just a pity that he killed Dong Shizhen, but failed to kill you!"
"What kind of hatred do I have with you? Why do you want to assassinate me?" Chu Huan stared at the man coldly, "What kind of hatred do Lord Dong have with you? Why do you want to assassinate him?"
"Don't ask too much, kill me with one knife." The assassin was full of backbone, "No matter what method you use, don't even think about getting a word from me."
"It's true, a man." Chu Huan sighed, "Who are you?" After a wink, Xuanyuan Sheng nodded slightly, turned his wrist and picked the blade, and picked the black scarf covering the assassin's face. He immediately showed his true face. There were already many people in front of the door crowding into the sight. When he saw the assassin's true face, someone said in a lost voice: "Yes... it's Zhao Xin..."
"Ah? It's really Zhao Xin!"
There was a commotion outside the door. No one expected that the assassin who assassinated Dong Shizhen in Beiwang Tower was Zhao Xin, the former head of the Ministry of War. Many people were shocked and changed their colors and found it incredible.
"Zhao Xin, is it you?" Chu Huan looked surprised, his face changed slightly, "Didn't you already escape?"
Assassin Zhao Xin sneered: "Since you are absconding, you can naturally come back. My big deal is not over, how can you leave like this?"
"Zhao Xin, you said, why should you assassinate Lord Dong and why should you assassinate this governor?"
Zhao Xin shook his head and said, "You don't need to ask too much. If I fall into this field, I will kill and shave it. I will never frown. Chu Huan, everything is planned by me and I have nothing to do with others. Just do it."
Xuanyuan Sheng suddenly said: "Sir, the assassination of the North View Tower is well-organized and the timing of the action is just right. This is absolutely impossible for Zhao Xin to do. The humble general doubts that there may be other experts behind this."
As soon as this said, Dongfang Xin's mouth twitched not far away, and many officials' eyes looked at Xuanyuan Sheng.
Dongfang Xin and Zhao Xin once had eight friends, and were sworn brothers. Although they gradually became alienated, they were not merciless and were still sworn brothers. Many people know about this.
This time, Zhao Xin actually assassinated Dong Shizhen, and Xuanyuan Sheng claimed that there was another master's plan. The first object that everyone thought of was General Pingxi Dongfang Xin.
Dongfang Xin felt that everyone's eyes were cut on him like a knife, and he was a little nervous, but he tried his best to remain calm and sneered: "Xuanyuan Shengcai, what do you mean?"
Xuanyuan Shengcai looked over and asked, "What does General Dongfang think I mean? I just think that Zhao Xin and other accomplices in this assassination, why is General Dongfang so sensitive?"
