Chapter 60 Late Night

Not long after, Yun Chen ordered the monks to bring vegetarian food and bathing water.

"Thank you, Master." Fang Zhixing smiled with satisfaction.

Yun Chen waved his hand and said: "Donor Fang, I should be thanking you. To be honest, Magistrate Luo really plans to come to this temple tomorrow or the day after tomorrow to burn incense and pray.

Alas, without your report, if Magistrate Luo had something wrong with this temple, the consequences would be disastrous. "

Yun Chen looked horrified and sighed: "Well, if Magistrate Luo dies in Songlin Temple, then the Luo family will be so angry that all the monks in the temple will be buried with Magistrate Luo."

Fang Zhixing could tell that when Yun Chen mentioned the Luo family, he was filled with awe and more fear from the bottom of his heart.

After a while, Yun Chen stood up and left.

Fang Zhixing glanced at Su Zhai without moving his chopsticks.

The thin dog smelled it carefully and said, "There is no peculiar smell. It should not be poisonous."

Fang Zhixing took out a bowl of rice, handed it to Xigou, and said, "You eat first."

Xigou said speechlessly: "What the hell, you're trying poison on me again!"

Fang Zhixing rolled his eyes and said, "You have five lives. If you don't test the poison, who will? Do you want me to test the poison for you?"

"Okay, okay, I'll eat first." Xigou was already hungry, so he stopped being polite and ate all the vegetables and rice.

Fang Zhixing observed for a while to make sure there was nothing wrong, and then he started eating with his chopsticks.

Afterwards, he took a shower and washed away the blood and sweat odor from his body, and his whole body felt refreshed.

"Xigou, I'll go to bed in the first half of the night and you stay on watch."

Fang Zhixing lay on the bed.

Xigou said in surprise: "Is it necessary to be so careful? After all, this is a temple, no one will harm us."

Fang Zhixing said solemnly: "Be careful with the Ten Thousand Years Ship. Think about it, how did the rebels know that Luo Peiyun was coming to Songlin Temple to burn incense and pray? Someone clearly tipped off the rebels!"

Xigou's breath was stagnant and he asked in shock: "Is there a spy?"

Fang Zhixing snorted coldly: "The spies are either lurking around Luo Peiyun or in Songlin Temple. In short, we must be cautious and cannot take it lightly."

The thin dog understood. He looked deeply at Fang Zhixing and lowered his ears.

In terms of brain, Fang Zhixing still moves quickly. He can always think of many things, as if he has eight hundred ideas.

That's not good for him. He never thinks deeply and always realizes it later.

This made Xigou a little unconvinced and a little depressed.

…

…

Qinglin County Yamen!

It was late at night, and the sleeping county magistrate Luo Peiyun was suddenly awakened by the housekeeper Wen Yuwen.

"What's up?"

Luo Peiyun yawned, feeling a little unhappy. No one likes to be woken up suddenly while they are sleeping.

Wen Yuwen said continuously: "Master, a monk from Songlin Temple came outside. He said that he was ordered by the abbot to report something urgent to your lord."

Luo Peiyun blinked, his face looked uncertain for a while, he nodded slightly and said: "Pass."

Not long after, a young monk walked in quickly, raised one palm and saluted: "Little monk Jie Kong, I pay my respects to the county magistrate."

"It turns out to be you."

Luo Peiyun nodded. He knew Jiekong. He twisted his beard and said with a smile, "What's the urgent matter that forces you to come here at midnight?"

Jiekong looked straight, spoke clearly, and told the whole story in a coherent manner, mainly repeating Fang Zhixing's words.

"What, the water pirates want to assassinate me at Songlin Temple?!"

Luo Peiyun was furious in an instant, his beard flew up, he slapped the table angrily and said: "These rebels are so brave!"

"Sir, please calm down and don't get so angry."

Wen Yuwen remained calm, turned to Jie Kong, and asked, "Has the identity of the whistleblower been verified? Is what he said credible?"

Jiekong was silent for a while and replied cautiously: "The man's name is Fang Zhixing. He claims to be a retinue of Li Zheng Luo Keyou. He also learned martial arts from Iron Palm Cheng Tian'en. Moreover, he brought fifteen bloody heads and pointed out One of the water pirates was named Yue Cheng, and the leader was Guo Dingshan.”

"Guo Dingshan?"

Wen Yuwen's expression changed, and he raised his eyebrows and said, "Well, this person is on the wanted list. He killed Zhang Yuanwai's family in Yunshui Town, opened a warehouse to release grain, triggered a refugee riot, and then disappeared without a trace."

Luo Peiyun snorted coldly: "The Sheriff has long found out the identity of that gang of thieves, they are a group of nefarious people in the world.

Each of them regarded themselves as heroes and righteous men, acted daringly and harbored evil intentions. They actually responded to the call of the rebel Wang Tianbu and committed rebellion and rebellion. This Guo Dingshan is one of them.

Humph, these bunch of bitches actually tried to assassinate the imperial officials. I will cut them into pieces and kill their nine tribes! "

Wen Yuwen continued: "The gang of Jiangyang thieves took advantage of the civil strife in the Cao Gang and disrupted the Eighteen Waterways. They burned, killed, looted, and created chaos. They showed off their fierce power for a while, and then they became more courageous. Each of them really thought that they could achieve something."

At this point, Wen Yuwen added: "In addition, later today, we received news that a merchant ship in Tieshanmen was attacked by a water monster. Li Zheng Luo Keyou and his son Luo Xiangpeng fell into the water and disappeared. Their lives and deaths are unknown."

Luo Keyou is Luo Peiyun's nephew, and there is some affection between uncle and nephew.

Jiekong said: "Yes, that's right, Fang Zhixing said that he was also on that ship. After falling into the water, he climbed ashore and met the assassins while traveling in the wilderness."

Luo Peiyun stroked his beard and said: "The attack by the water monster on the merchant ship was a sudden situation, and it happened in the late afternoon. The news has not spread yet, and it is impossible for outsiders to know. From this point of view, Fang Zhixing's remarks are hard to fault. What a flaw."

Wen Yuwen said: "Sir, I will notify the leader of the Iron Mountain Gate, Lu Anfu, to assist in the investigation."

Luo Peiyun said: "Let Ding Zhigang go to Songlin Temple to investigate overnight. In addition, make preparations. I will go to Songlin Temple to burn incense and pray early tomorrow morning."

Wen Yuwen was surprised and said: "Master, is this matter..."

Luo Peiyun waved his hand and said: "I must not show weakness to those bandits. Humph, I like the way others can't stand me but can't get rid of me."

Wen Yuwen understood and said: "Master, don't worry, I will arrange it properly."

……

……

Dawn came, and it was pitch black outside.

Suddenly, someone knocked on the door and shouted: "Master Fang, wake up."

Fang Zhixing was not asleep, and immediately kicked the sleeping dog and said: "I'm awake, please come in."

The door creaked open.

Master Yunchen and two other strange men appeared outside the door.

The two men were about the same age, probably in their forties.

They were tall and strong, one was over 1.85 meters tall, and the other was even taller, about 1.9 meters tall.

Master Yun Chen looked like a dwarf in front of them.

He introduced with a smile: "Donor Fang, this is Ding Zhigang, the chief constable of the county government, and the one next to him is Lu Anfu, the head of the 'Weapon Casting Hall' of Tieshanmen."

Ding Zhigang had a mustache and slanted eyes, giving people a sense of mercenary.

Lu Anfu had a sheep's beard, a fair face, and stood with his hands behind his back, looking quite imposing.

Fang Zhixing looked serious, and bowed and said: "Junior Fang Zhixing greets the two adults."
