Beautiful Monk (Update 1)

At the end of the day, Yan Shiba made arrangements, prepared for the trip, and was busy. By the time the carriage arrived at Feiyan Town, the sun was almost setting. read

Su Liang barely slept a wink last night. She was drowsy while sitting in the car when she suddenly heard an angry curse, "What a bald donkey! How dare you steal money! Someone, let's catch the thief!"

She opened her eyes, lifted the curtain and looked outside.

There was a lot of noise in front of him, and his bare head stood out among the crowd.

The commoner monk had his back to Su Liang, and his face could not be seen.

A fierce-looking man was holding the monk's collar, and behind him stood a young woman with evasive eyes.

"A monk still steals? He must be a fake monk!"

"Looking at his thin skin and tender flesh, I think he is Monk Hua!"

"Report to the official!"

…

Originally it had nothing to do with Ning Jing and Su Liang, but the strange incident of "a monk stealing money on the street" attracted many onlookers, making noisy noises and blocking the road.

The large carriage they just changed today will not be able to pass for a while.

Su Liang thought to wait, and the people dispersed after a while, but saw the monk being pushed and turned around. Seeing his appearance, Su Liang was stunned for a moment.

To say "thin skin and tender meat" is no exaggeration.

She is eighteen or nineteen years old, thin and fair, with delicate facial features. Even with a bald head and a coarse monk's robe, she still deserves the title of "beauty". However, when he was criticized, humiliated and criticized by others, he did not defend himself. He only clasped his hands together and chanted sutras in a low voice.

This scene is quite dramatic.

The devout little monk and the noisy crowd around him seemed to be separated into two worlds.

But Su Liang didn't know the whole story, didn't know whether the stolen money was true or false, and had no intention of getting involved.

Just as he was about to lower the car curtain, he heard Ning Jing say, "His hall turned black."

Su Liang:......

There is no need to ask, "How do you know the monk is not trying to kill someone?" because there is no way to know at this moment.

And Su Liang officially promised Ning Jing to "do things" for him.

The "button" that triggers the mission is what Ning Jing said: "Yintang turns black."

The monk who was chanting sutras was pushed to the ground by the big man, and many people surrounded him and trampled on him.

If he doesn't resist or run away, he might be beaten to death in the street.

After all, the law does not punish the public. The big man was afraid that he did this on purpose. After arousing public anger, everyone took action together. If the monk died, he could shirk the responsibility.

Su Liang jumped off the carriage, separated from the crowd and walked over, "Stop!"

No one listened.

She looked helpless and pulled out a knife. She ducked to the big man's side and put the knife on his neck. "Stop it!"

Many people didn't notice how Su Liang appeared, as if he fell from the sky.

After a moment of silence, someone immediately accused Su Liang, "What are you doing? This fake monk stole money. Are you an accomplice with him? Or do you want to do anything with him because he looks good?"

As soon as this was said, there was a burst of laughter.

Su Liang looked over and saw that the person who spoke was an ugly man with a big mole on his face. With such words, it is difficult not to suspect that he is so "righteous" and is jealous of the monk's beauty.

The monk was stepped on on the face and his clothes were torn.

He slowly stood up from the ground, looked at Su Liang, his eyes were calm, he clasped his hands together and said, "Amitabha..."

Su Liang didn't give the monk a chance to say anything else, and asked the big man coldly, "You said he stole money, what evidence is there?"

The big man had a knife held to his neck. He lost his arrogance, but still held his head high, "He stole my wife's money! My wife said so!"

The young woman hiding in the corner saw everyone looking at her and muttered, "I was buying steamed buns, and that monk stole my money."

The monk sighed after hearing this.

"Where's the steamed bun seller? What did you see?" Su Liang asked.

An old man was pushed out, but he waved his hands repeatedly and said he didn't see anything.

"Did you steal her money?" Su Liang asked the monk.

The monk didn't answer, but closed his eyes and recited the sutra again.

"You blocked my way, and now you are all gone. If the monk steals money, you report it to the official." Su Liang said coldly.

Because of the knife, the big man nodded quickly, "I'll take him to the county government right now!"

Su Liang put away the knife and said in a cold voice, "The new county magistrate, Mr. Mu, is wise and selfless. He will never let the bad guys go, let alone listen to anyone's words and falsely accuse the good guys!"

Su Liang's last words were spoken while looking at the woman. She flinched, grabbed the big man's arm, and begged, "Mr., it's only three cents, forget it."

But the big man frowned, "I can't forget it! Isn't three coins money?"

"Let's go to the county government office." Su Liang had already noticed that the woman looked wrong and might be lying.

But the woman panicked and held on to the big man, "No... you can't go!"

If you steal three pennies, even if you go to the government, you won't be punished too much. You will be locked up for a few days and then released.

However, the penalties for false accusations under the laws of the Qian Kingdom are much more severe.

The big man finally noticed something was wrong and stared at the woman, "Did he steal it?"

The woman cried and said, "I was buying steamed buns, and I saw him coming to beg for alms, so I gave him one...My mother-in-law said there was one steamed bun missing, and I was afraid that my husband would beat me..."

The steamed bun seller dared to tell the truth now, "The young monk came to beg for help with me! I drove him away, and the little lady kindly gave him one of the steamed buns she bought. Who knew that after a while, she brought another The man came back and falsely accused the young monk of stealing her money!"

"I didn't mean it, I also had good intentions to help him..." The woman fell to the ground, crying with tears all over her face.

The situation turned.

The people who had just insulted the monk immediately turned their spearheads and began to point fingers at the big man and his wife.

The big man's eyes were as big as copper bells. He pulled the woman up and slapped her with a thick slap. "I knew it! You bitch are restless. You want to seduce him just because he looks good, right? Do you think I don't know that you peek at the pretty boy next door every day?"

"Donor, don't blame this female donor. It's all my fault." The monk finally said something other than "Amitabha" to help the woman out.

"Good you! What did you do behind my back?" The big man was even more angry.

"Don't add fuel to the fire, go!" Su Liang looked at the monk coldly.

The monk was indeed very beautiful. The woman was probably blinded by the moment to be a good person and gave the monk a steamed bun, thinking that she could get away with it when she went home.

And what she did later might be explained as weakness, but the result was vicious. Whenever she got into trouble, she pushed innocent people to take the blame. Knowing that her man was hot-tempered and ruthless, she watched the monk being beaten without saying a word.

Pitiful and hateful.

The monk sighed and followed Su Liang out of the crowd.

The big man dragged the woman and left.

The order on the street was restored. Su Liang came to the carriage and saw Ning Jing nodded. Knowing that the monk was no longer in danger, he turned to look at him, "No need to thank me, you can go."

The monk clasped his hands together, "What the donor did just now will harm the female donor. She was kind to help me."

Su Liang was almost drunk, "I saved you, but it's my fault?"

The monk shook his head and sighed, "It's all my fault."

Yan Shiba last night and the monk today made Su Liang very speechless. He was too lazy to care about it and prepared to get on the car and leave.

"Miss Su! Miss Su Liang!"

Hu Er's follower Xiao Liu ran through the crowd, "This is the gift that Er Ye prepared for you two!"

Su Liang took the bundle, which contained two fur coats. Xiaoliu said that his grandfather was in the fur business, and this was specially sent by their old lady to thank Su Liang for treating Hu Er.

Seeing Su Liang accept it, Xiaoliu ran away.

She was about to get on the car when she heard the monk ask, "Are you Miss Su Liang from Sujia Village?"

Su Liang turned around, "Yes, what can I do for you?"

"Yesterday, I sent a donor named Yan to find a donor named Su. I wonder if Su can see her? Is she in good health?" the monk asked.

Su Liang asked Yan Shiba who saved her, and Yan Shiba said at the time, "It was a very beautiful little man"...

Su Liang didn't expect that it was a monk. It's true that he is beautiful, but his personality is completely different from Yan Shiba. One is a psychopath who doesn't trust anyone, and the other is a saintly person who thinks everyone is a good person.

"She is in Sujia Village, you can go and see it yourself." Su Liang got on the car after he finished speaking.

"I have to hurry back to the temple, so I won't bother you, Mr. Yan." The monk shook his head slightly, "Goodbye."

The monk passed by the carriage, and Su Liang asked Ning Jing, "Do you think he knows that Yan Shiba is a killer with blood on his hands?"

Ning Jing looked calm, "Even if he knew, he would save him."

...

When we arrived at the county town, it was already dark.

Su Liang and Ning Jing had a simple dinner, cleaned up and went to bed.

The next day, just after dawn, Ning Jing drove the carriage, took Su Liang, out of Bei'an County, and headed for the provincial capital in the southeast.

...

Mu Fei sent Chang'an to Sujia Village to invite Su Liang early in the morning.

The last time he went to the mine, he encountered a heavy rain and assassination on the way, so he couldn't go.

Nian Jincheng went to the mine today to check the situation, and he will stay there. Mu Fei will go with him, and he agreed to call Su Liang.

However, when Mu Fei and Nian Jincheng arrived at Feiyan Town, they thought Su Liang would come soon, but they saw Changan coming back alone.

"Master, Mr. Ning and Miss Su left Sujia Village yesterday and went to the provincial capital!" Changan reported.

Mu Fei frowned, "Didn't they say they would leave on the eighth day of the first lunar month?"

Nian Jincheng also felt strange. He had thought of finding another time to secretly drink with Ning Jing, but he didn't expect them to leave early.

"I don't know why." Changan said, "But Miss Su has someone at home. It's a girl named Su Jiujiu who claims to be her sister. She was seriously injured, and Miss Su asked the neighbors to take care of her."

Mu Fei felt puzzled. Of course he knew whether Su Liang had a sister, but where did Su Jiujiu come from? And since Su Liang came to Su Liang because he was injured, why didn't he take care of himself, but left early?

"Since he left, forget it, he will come back after a while anyway." Mu Fei said, "Check the origin of that Su Jiujiu."
