Although the old monk from Shangqing Temple did not have enough evidence, the story was spread among the people with details and details. Anyone with a brain basically knew that this matter must be true. However, the court had already arrested the mother and son, accusing them of theft.
Otherwise, how could such a family come up with so many things? However, many people did not believe the court's conclusion, but instead felt that the court was helping Master Jingren to clean up his mess.
When the imperial court was doing this, Master Jinghong was also shocked. These two brothers were not serious monks. They became monks because they had no food to eat. They were definitely not the kind of people who were really willing to serve the Buddha.
Later, after they gained the ability, they naturally could not live a life of despair, so these people thought about setting up a home for themselves. At the beginning, it was Master Jingren, and then Master Jinghong. Now Master Jingren's family has been turned out, and Master Jinghong is also scared. If his children and wife are also found, his junior brother will be dead, and he may die more miserably than him.
"The old monk took the bait and just left Tianlong Temple."
It was another night with the moon above the willows. When Qian Ping was about to fall asleep, Long Jiu came back from outside. After the incident in Master Jingren's family, he brought people to guard Tianlong Temple day and night. Unless the old man refused to go, they would send people to follow all the monks who left Tianlong Temple.
Master Jingren once explained that he and his senior brother were the same. Neither of them was the kind of person who served the Buddha. However, they lived a very exciting private life. So Qian Ping predicted that as long as he could find Master Jingren's family members, Master Jinghong would definitely be unable to sit still, and he would definitely reveal his true colors at this time.
Moreover, Master Jinghong has been developing for so many years and is respected throughout the Nanzhao Kingdom. He will never give up everything in front of him, so this guy did not bring anyone else except a few monks under his command. Although the outside world is in a panic and seems unsafe everywhere, Master Jinghong can't care so much. He has to deal with his wife. As for the children, they can only be brought to the temple first.
Master Jinghong had no feelings for his wife, so he simply killed and buried her. She was just a child-bearing machine. He shaved his son's head and made him a novice monk in the temple, leaving him by his side. Could he be manipulated by others? As for his daughter, he gave her away.
Master Jinghong even thought about killing his daughter, but in the end he couldn't bring himself to do it. He thought about these things while he was on the road.
At the same time, another group of people were following Master Jinghong.
But these people are not Qian Ping’s people, but people from the Zhennan Palace.
Qian Ping is a calculating guy. Even if he brought his men over, he has no influence in Nanzhao. Do you think they will recognize him just because he found a wife and had a child? Moreover, with Master Jinghong's ability, he can overturn the case in an instant. We outsiders will not know how we died.
But within this country, this guy could never cover the sky and the sun by himself. The Zhennan Palace has always been thinking about bringing this guy down, so Qian Ping forged a letter, saying that he was an intelligence officer of the Tang Dynasty, and Zhangsun Wuji was in charge of this area, saying that they had obtained a fatal piece of information.
When he received the letter, Prince Zhennan was dumbfounded. Although he also opposed Master Jinghong's involvement in court affairs, he still respected this religious master very much. He never expected that such a thing would happen. Although exposing this guy might cause the collapse of many people's faith, isn't this exactly what he wants?
Tianlong Temple has always supported the prince and suppressed the Zhennan Palace at various levels, even promoting the principle of seniority outside. Isn't it saying that he, as the younger brother, cannot usurp the throne?
He even tried to persuade the old empress dowager in the palace. In the past, Prince Zhennan was so angry that his teeth were itching. Today, he finally found an opportunity. Fortunately, he got in touch with Zhangsun Wuji. If he didn't have this relationship, how could he get such confidential information?
Under normal circumstances, Master Jinghong would never be so careless and would not even be able to detect that he was being followed. However, because of his junior brother's family affairs, Master Jinghong is now confused. If he thinks about it carefully, he should now remain unchanged in the face of all changes instead of revealing his true identity.
Unfortunately, Master Jinghong was so confused that he didn't think about these things. He just wanted to cover it all up quickly. Someone must have been targeting their Tianlong Temple recently. He had to plug all these loopholes before the other party took action. No matter where the enemy came from, as long as there were no loopholes, he could not do anything to them.
"master."
A monk opened the door and the sound of singing came from inside. This was Master Jinghong's wife. She seemed to be coaxing the child to sleep. Master Jinghong was also very heartbroken. This woman was different from Master Jingren's wife. The other wife was forced, but this wife really wanted to be with him. There was a lot of affection between them.
But those who achieve great things do not care about trivial matters. Master Jinghong could not care about so many things at this moment. He made a gesture to his disciples to wipe their necks. These disciples were the only few ruthless people left in Shangqing Temple. Of course, they knew what the current situation was. They had to protect Master Jinghong. As for the death of these people, it didn't matter.
Just when these people were about to enter the house, the door suddenly opened and the Prince of Zhennan actually walked out from inside. Immediately, the entire yard was filled with torches, and the guards of the Prince of Zhennan's mansion had surrounded the place.
"Your Majesty, you..."
Master Jinghong almost fainted. This little secret was known by others, and it was known by Prince Zhennan. If Master Jinghong had an enemy in Nanzhao, then this person in front of him would definitely be ranked first. Looking at the sly smile on his face, you can tell how much he wants to control everything.
Master Jinghong sent people to keep an eye on the Prince of Zhennan's mansion, hoping to catch the Prince of Zhennan's weakness. Unexpectedly, he failed to catch the weakness, but instead let the other party catch his own weakness. Thinking about what he had done in the past, could he let him go?
