Chapter 17 When you feel sleepy, someone will hand you a pillow

"Ah! It turns out he is an official! Young Xie Rui has met the official."

The man bowed quickly.

"What were you arguing about just now?" Li Zhi asked.

"Master Guan, you must make the decision for the common people!" Xie Rui quickly raised his hand and said:

"I have a friend named Zhang Ren who stayed in this temple yesterday. I had made an appointment with him to meet outside this morning, but after waiting for a long time, he didn't come."

"We have a very important matter to deal with. There is absolutely no way he will be late. It is only possible that these greedy monks took a fancy to the property my friend was carrying and had murderous intentions in their hearts and killed him.

."

"Donor, don't talk nonsense!" A young monk hurriedly came out and said:

"The benefactor Zhang Ren you mentioned left the temple early tomorrow. How can you blame us?"

"You fart!" Xie Rui turned around and yelled angrily:

"I made an appointment with him a long time ago. You can't stop talking nonsense here. You must have conspired to murder him. Now you dare to lie directly in front of the official?"

"Are you still worthy of this Buddhist robe you are wearing?"

"You!" The little monk was furious and couldn't help but want to go forward and argue with him again.

The abbot shook his head and shouted:

"Don't be rude to Kong Jing. How dare we, as monks, be greedy and ignorant again?"

"Abbot, I understand!" The young monk named Kongjing took a few steps back after hearing this, and his expression became the same as before.

"Amitabha! If the donor suspects that this temple has harmed your friend, you can go to the room where he lives to search, and don't make any noise here." The abbot performed a Buddhist salute and said to Xie Rui.

"Okay! Stop arguing about this." Li You looked at the crowd and smiled:

"Abbott! We are Dali Temple officials. Since someone has reported the case now, it naturally falls within the scope of our review. The next case should naturally be investigated by us."

When the abbot heard this, his eyes changed slightly, and then he performed a Buddhist salute and said:

"Then thank you very much, Your Highness! Please be aware of everything and restore our temple's innocence."

"This is natural." Li You also bowed to the abbot, but the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, full of smile.

"Then your Highness, you can do what you want next!" The abbot waved his hand, and the young monk named Kong Jing hurriedly stepped forward and took the sleeping one from Huang Sanpao.

Li You didn't stop him from taking the person. Anyway, now he had a better reason to search the entire temple. It didn't matter whether he handed it over to her or not.

After saying this, all the monks around him dispersed.

Li You turned around and looked at Li Zhi. The two nodded at the same time, instantly understanding what the other was thinking.

I planned to take this opportunity to search the entire temple openly.

If you can't find it, ask more people to check it tomorrow. Anyway, this is legal and official, and it's appropriate no matter how many officials come.

"Now you two will accompany this gentleman to search. If you have a chance, go to the ancient pagoda later. I will go to other places to see if there are any clues." Li You ordered.

"Okay! Be careful." Li Zhi nodded, turned around and left with Huang Sanpao and Xie Rui.

Li You looked at the main hall in front of him, thought for a moment, and then walked in.

The monks who were cleaning the hall just heard the chat between the abbot and Li You.

Although they were a little dissatisfied, they all walked forward and saluted Li You.

Li You also had to admit that these monks were very thorough in etiquette.

It made me feel a little embarrassed if I wanted to take action for a while.

Li You bent down and nodded slightly as a return gift.

Stepping into the hall and looking carefully.

Surrounded by eighteen Arhat statues on both sides, and in the middle is a large Buddha statue. Li You is not sure what it is.

He strode forward and took a closer look, then turned to a monk who was worshiping the Buddha and asked:

"Master! I would like to ask which Buddha this is?"

"Your Highness! This is Samantabhadra Samantabhadra!" the monk said, performing a Buddhist salute.

"Samantabhadra Bodhisattva?" Li You nodded, then knelt on the futon and bowed briefly.

Anyway, I’m here, so it doesn’t matter if I say goodbye.

"Li You? Why are you here?" Shangguan Zisu quickly walked into the hall and asked curiously as he looked at Li You kneeling on the futon.

"This benefactor, this is the main hall of Buddhism. Please keep quiet and don't make any noise!" the monk said to Shangguan Zisu.

"Sorry!" Shangguan Zisu smiled awkwardly, walked up to Li You, and gently hit him with his knee.

Li You turned to look at her, stood up, bowed to the monk and said:

"I'm sorry, this is my wife, her character is really reckless."

"You..." Shangguan Zisu's face turned red, he lightly stamped his feet and ran away quickly.

Li You apologized and planned to go out and chase her.

When he went out, he vaguely smelled a strange smell. The smell was very small. If he hadn't observed carefully, he would have easily ignored it.

Li You set his sights on the Eighteen Arhats aside and took a deep look at them.

That's why he always felt that there was something wrong with these Buddha bodies.

But he didn't think about it at the moment, he walked out of the hall quickly and caught up with Shangguan Zisu who was "angry".

"Why are you here?" Li You came to her side and asked.

"I got up early. Futaba just gave Siniang a few injections. I saw that she was almost healed, so I wanted to come out to find you." Shangguan Zisu blushed and said coquettishly:

"I also met Li Zhi and Sanpao on the way. They also brought a person I didn't know. They told me that something happened. There was a case."

"So I was a little worried about you, so I ran over to have a look."

"What can happen to me?" Li You said with a smile, "If I get into a fight with them, you should be worried about them."

"Okay! His Royal Highness, King Yan, has great martial arts skills. It's just a little girl who thinks too much, right?" Shangguan Zisu snorted, and then made some slanderous remarks to Li You. After that, he turned around and didn't want to talk to him.

Li You smiled and took Shangguan Zisu's hand and said softly:

"Why do you think so much? Isn't it normal for the future Princess Yan to worry about Prince Yan?"

"As early as next month, or at the latest this year, my father may issue an order. Then we will be busy."

"Yes!" Shangguan Zisu nodded shyly, her fair face dyed with a touch of pink, making her look particularly attractive.

Li You reached out and gently pushed her hair behind her ears, looking at her gently.

"Okay, now come with me to investigate the case!" Li You said: "There is no clue about this case yet. I think the investigation will be more relaxed with you by my side."
