Chapter 418: Being Abandoned
"Your Majesty, I sent people to Jingguang Temple not to report the news, but to clear the place. I am afraid that too many pilgrims will be detrimental to the Emperor." Governor Yang argued vigorously.
"But what's the result?" Emperor Lan Qian asked.
Governor Yang raised his head and glared at the abbot, "Your Majesty, this old monk is lying. I think he is the mastermind. He just wants to blame Huiming now."
The abbot's soul clasped his hands together and said, "Amitabha, I'm already a ghost, so there's nothing left to shirk."
"Yes, Governor Yang, the old monk is already dead. What's there to be afraid of? He can die again." Ling Su interjected.
Xiao Yanbao blinked his eyes and said to himself: "I can die again. That fat monk just asked me to beat him to death."
However, since the abbot had her truth talisman attached to her, there should be no lies in what he said.
"Then since you didn't know that the fat monk wanted to kill my father, how did you know that it was Governor Yang who reported the news in advance? How did you know that the fat monk had ambushed someone in advance?" Xiao Yanbao asked.
"Amitabha, that was what Huiming said after he killed me."
Ling Su: It turns out that this old monk was killed by his own people.
He thought he was killed by Ruofeng.
Governor Yang still wanted to quibble, but Emperor Lan Qian said coldly: "Leave all the monks in Jingguang Temple to you for trial. If you don't understand the trial, then the two crimes will be treated as one and punished together."
There are very few officials under him who have no problems now. If they are all punished, there will be no one available.
As long as you can use it, just make do with it before the big exam.
When Governor Yang heard that the emperor had not taken off his official uniform, he banged his head and said, "Thank you, Lord! I will definitely find out all the remaining members of Sheng Ming's party."
After Emperor Lan Gan knew that these monks were Sheng Ming's remnants, he stopped asking.
Governor Yang: If the emperor doesn’t ask, he has to ask. With the help of the little princess, he can ask as much as he can.
Otherwise, he would not have the ability to find the ghost for questioning.
Don't ask him what he ordered.
"President Yang, since my father has asked you to try this case, you can ask it yourself. We are going back."
Xiao Yanbao said, holding his father's hand and walking out.
He threw Governor Yang himself into the main hall.
It doesn't matter if Governor Yang follows, it doesn't matter if he doesn't.
If he stayed, he was afraid. If he didn't, he would still ask for the abbot's soul.
He wanted the emperor to wait until he had finished asking questions before leaving, but he did not dare to say so.
The emperor is already extremely merciful. If he goes too far, he may be angry and dismiss his official position on the spot.
So I braved my courage and stood still.
When Teng Yun took off, Xiao Yanbao said to Governor Yang: "My true speech talisman can still maintain its effect for two quarters of an hour at most. You have to ask as soon as possible."
Governor Yang was really scared, especially at night. Fortunately, Xiao Yanbao left the luminous talisman here.
Otherwise he would be scared to death.
But he still ran to the temple door with the luminous talisman, intending to call the yamen guarding the door in to interrogate the abbot's soul with him.
But little did he know that the government officials outside did not believe that he was the real governor and thought he was a ghost.
And the door of the temple was locked from the outside, and he couldn't push it open from the inside.
The more he screamed inside, the farther away the government officials ran. In the end, no one was left.
As he ran, he shouted, "It's haunted, it's haunted!"
Governor Yang stamped his feet in anger and could only walk back with courage.
The little princess said that he only had two-quarters of an hour, and if he delayed any longer, he would not be able to ask anything.
While walking back, I complained, little princess, little princess, why didn't you just leave the door when you came?
As a result, when he returned to the main hall, the abbot's soul was no longer here.
He didn't dare to look elsewhere.
He regretted in his heart that it was over, he had failed to seize such a good opportunity.
He wanted to look for it, but Jingguang Temple was so big, where could he look for it?
Besides, he didn't dare to look for it.
Now that his eyes are open, he can see things that he can't usually see. Who knows if there are other ghosts in Jingguang Temple.
In case there are other ghosts...
The more Governor Yang thought about it, the more he became afraid. The more he became afraid, the more mistakes he made. He stumbled on something, and with a shake of his hand, the luminous talisman fell on the lotus lantern. The luminous talisman's light disappeared instantly.
The hall immediately became dark.
Governor Yang slipped under the altar table.
Close your eyes tightly and look at nothing. Out of sight is pure.
He originally wanted to just wait until dawn, the people from the Yamen would definitely come looking for him.
Just when he was about to fall asleep, he felt the sound of breathing.
And the voice was right next to him.
He opened his eyes tremblingly and saw two green lights staring at him.
"Ghost!"
Governor Yang screamed and instinctively wanted to run away.
But he forgot that he was under the altar table, stood up too hard, and knocked over the altar table.
His head hit the pillar again, and he fainted from the shock.
Xiao Yanbao and the others returned to the state government office. Chang Shi and Sima were a little frightened when they didn't see the governor coming back.
But they didn't dare to ask the emperor.
Finally, he waited until Ling Su came out of the room and asked cautiously: "Guard Ling, where did the governor go? Why didn't he come back together?"
"Chief Yang is staying in Jingguang Temple to interrogate ghosts. He will come back after the interrogation." Ling Su said calmly.
Chang Shi and Sima glanced at each other?
Did he blindly leave the governor alone in Jingguang Temple to examine ghosts?
return?
It would be nice not to be scared to death at Jingguang Temple.
"Hurry up and take people to Jingguang Temple to have a look." Chang Shi said to Sima.
Sima immediately called the Yamen servant and rode a fast horse to Jingguang Temple.
Halfway through, they met the yamen servant who was scared and ran back.
"If you don't take good care of Jingguang Temple, what will you do when you come back?"
"Sima, no... it's bad, Jingguang Temple is haunted." The Yamen servant said in a panic.
Sima frowned. Guard Ling said that the governor was examining ghosts in Jingguang Temple.
So it's not surprising that there are ghosts.
"What kind of haunting method?" Sima asked.
"The ghost in Jingguang Temple tricked us into entering, saying that he was the governor. His voice was the same as that of the governor, but the governor was obviously in the state government office." said the Yamen servant.
"Damn it, the governor was originally examining ghosts in Jingguang Temple. Didn't you see the governor entering Jingguang Temple? Not only the governor, but also the emperor, the little princess and others also went." Sima said.
Several government servants who ran back from Jingguang Temple were stunned. You looked at me and I looked at you. They clearly had not left the entrance of Jingguang Temple. No one had entered Jingguang Temple at all.
Not to mention the emperor, the little princess and the governor.
How could they enter Jingguang Temple without going through the door? Could it be that they could fly in?
"Sima, no one entered Jingguang Temple tonight, and we didn't see the governor," the Yamen servant said.
Sima waved his riding whip and said, "Let's go to Jingguang Temple and have a look."
