.

The Japanese king Shichong actually knew that the two were Prince Hoshitoku of Yamato, the brother and sister, the man was called Mayu Nobuo and the woman was called Mayuki Kiko.

Mayukiko is not bad, but although Wang Shichong is not a monk, he is basically empty, and color is empty. In his mind, power and money have occupied all positions, and women are completely unable to rank. His eyes flew past his brother and sister. When Wang Shichong looked at the two monks, the ghost on his face dissipated and he squeezed out a smile.

One of the two monks was called Huiyin and the other one was called Guangqi. They came to the Central Plains to learn the Buddhist culture of the Great Sui Dynasty. In Wang Shichong's opinion, he would rather be a demon than be a Buddha. What's the point of being a Buddha? He cannot drink wine or eat meat, but the emperor does not think so. Since the former emperor, he has strong support for Buddhism and attaches equal importance to Buddhism. Now when the emperor is on a tour or in both capitals, he is surrounded by monks, nuns, Taoists, and women's crowns.

Local monks and priests attach great importance to it, and foreign monks are of course better to recite scriptures. There is a Sifang Pavilion in the east to specially receive foreign envoys, and there are also an embassy in Yangzhou City, which is specially used to entertain foreign envoys from Baekje, Ryukyu, Yamato and Terracotta countries. Foreign monks naturally have a higher status than the envoys. The embassy caught fire inexplicably. Although it was not released by Wang Shichong, he was a county magistrate. After all, he was a bit responsible. If these Japanese people went to the east to apply for the emperor, Wang Shichong would be difficult to deal with it.

"Did you hurt someone?" Wang Shichong asked with concern.

Huiyin shook his head and said, "I am so lucky that no one in the embassy was injured. It's just Lord Wang, the golden holy Buddha we invited to Emperor Baixi in the east disappeared. Please ask Lord Wang to find the thief as soon as possible, otherwise we will not be able to return to the country to explain to Prince Shengde."

Wang Shichong thought to himself, what do you say about me or not, "Well, I think of my great country, with integrity as the basis, and have always been knowledgeable and well-educated people, how could you steal? Isn't you really lost your Golden Buddha?"

Huiyin is more honest. She is still thinking about Wang Shichong's meaning. Nobuo Shichong is already very dissatisfied. "What does Lord Wang mean by saying this? Is it because we burned the embassy ourselves and hid the Golden Buddha?"

"Ami Camel Buddha, how good it is." Guangqi sang the Buddha's name and said: "Monks do not lie, Lord Wang, we are all dedicated to the Buddha. How could we do such a thing?"

"This is what you said, I didn't say it." Wang Shichong smiled slightly, "The stolen case happened in a strange way, so you have to investigate it slowly."

"But we are going to return to China in a few days." Mayukiko said anxiously.

Wang Shichong smiled and said, "You should go back to your country. When I find the Golden Buddha, I will definitely keep it for you properly. Just wait until you come back to you next time."

The four Japanese looked at each other. "Mr. Wang. How did this make..."

"How can't I use it?" Wang Shichong's face turned aside. "The case of a fire in the embassy is more important than the theft of the Golden Buddha. Although you are foreign envoys, if you set fire in Yangzhou City, it is not legal. Even if you don't let it go, the people in the embassy are very suspicious. I am the county magistrate, not a god. I have to investigate this case one by one, which is time-consuming and laborious. Do you think it's as easy as playing house with a child?"

The four Japanese were dissatisfied, but they could not help. Huiyin looked at his companions with some resentment and said, "I know that sir will do my best to investigate. I just want to understand that my country and your country have always had a good relationship. Just check the case as soon as possible. Otherwise, we have nothing to say when Emperor Baixi asks us next time."

Wang Shichong smiled and said, "It is only if the monk speaks like this that he is understanding. I guarantee it with my conscience and I will do my best to crack the case."

After the four Japanese retreated, Wang Shichong frowned and said, "Go and find Zhou Fengzu, Li Xinwei."

Before Zhou Fengzu arrived, his subordinates rushed to the scene again: "Mr. Wang, Prince Baekje is asking for a meeting."

Wang Shichong frowned and said, "What did he ask me for? Could it be that he had the Golden Buddha stolen?"

Prince Baekje was stolen without the Golden Buddha. When he saw Wang Shichong, his eyes were swollen like a panda and he roared, "Mr. Wang, I ask you to give me an explanation."

Wang Shichong first greeted his parents politely in his heart, and then asked: "What are you explaining?"

"My subordinates and I were walking in Yangzhou City. One person was inexplicably rushed out, punched me in my eyes, and then turned around and left. Look," Prince Baekje pointed at his panda's eyes and said, "Do you, the Great Sui Dynasty, have no king's law?"

Wang Shichong was very surprised and asked a few questions before he understood a little. It turned out that Prince Baekje just looked at the woman a few more times, and was rushed out by a person on the side of the road and punched her. The woman didn't know where to go. Prince Baekje was angry and found Wang Shichong. Of course, Wang Shichong knew that the prince of Baekje was probably not sincere, saying that he had looked at the woman a few more times, but he was teasing him, but he had the identity of a prince and did not do too much, so Wang Shichong didn't need to pay attention to these idiots.

Wang Shichong used his conscience to ensure that the murderer was arrested as soon as possible. After finally persuading Prince Baekje away, Li Xinwei Zhou Fengzu arrived. Wang Shichong was ashamed of water and asked coldly, "Zhou Fengzu, why did you arrive at this time?"

Zhou Fengzu was sweating all over his head, "Sir, my subordinates have been busy since the early morning to the present, and have been summoned by the Lord and rushed over without stopping."

"Oh, you're busy with what?" Wang Shichong asked angrily: "Don't you know that the foreign embassies have been in a state of turmoil recently?"

Zhou Fengzu was stunned, "Sir, I don't know, but I just reported something to you."

"What's wrong with you?" Wang Shichong took a long breath and tried his best to calm himself down.

"The twelve merchants in Yangzhou were stolen last night. Now they are co-branding outside to ask for a meeting with Lord Wang." Zhou Fengzu felt cold sweat and said tremblingly. Now it was Wang Shichong's turn to be stunned.

Xiao Buyi was in a good mood when he was strolling on the streets of Yangzhou. Intuition, he knew that there were fewer people surveillance behind him.

Listening to the whispers of the people on the roadside, whether they are panic or very pleased, Xiao Buyi knows what they are talking about without guessing.

It is rare to see people who can steal twelve businesses in one night, but it is easy to make a bearded guest. Xiao Buyi seemed relaxed after arriving in Yangzhou, but he was always walking on thin ice. He suddenly received strong help from the bearded guest, which really greatly increased his confidence.

Seeing four people sitting not far away, they were looking at each other

Xiao Buyi walked slowly over and whispered to the boss: "Boss, face."

The noodle stall owner responded, and the people at the table had already looked over, looked at each other again, and discussed in a low voice. One of them stood up hesitantly and came over and said, "Donor, do you still remember me?"

Xiao Buyi identified it for a while before saying, "Is this Huiyin monk from Yamato?"

He pretended to identify, and was amused in his heart, and thought to himself that I came for you. How could he not know you?

Huiyin was a little overjoyed, "The donor is indeed knowledgeable and memorable. No wonder he could say a few words to the monk who believed in Taoism."

He was called a monk by Xiao Buyi, so he naturally did not dare to be on par with Daoxin. He could only call Daoxin a monk. In fact, in his mind, Daoxin was indeed a very magical one.

Xiao Buyi said modestly: "Actually, this is nothing."

"It's nothing to be able to talk to the monk Daoxin?" Guangqi was very kind when he saw Xiao Buyi, so he got up and walked over and sat down. He looked at Xiao Buyi kindly and said, "Can the money lost by the donor be found?"

"Money is actually something outside of the body, and it is also a seedling that causes anger." Xiao Buyi's words made the two monks respectful, and then said: "Although I don't care, I can't let this seedling that causes anger reach others' hands. So I still have to find it."

Huiyin and Guangqi pondered for a long time. Guangqi said, "This may be what the Buddha said, I won't go to hell. Who will go to hell?"

"Yes." Xiao Buyi was amused in his heart and thought that this blind worship was not enough. It was good for these two monks to focus on Buddha, but they had to study Zen at any time, which was also a headache.

The plain noodles came up quickly, but Huiyin Guangqi had no intention of walking away. Xiao Buyi picked up the chopsticks and asked in confusion: "Don't you know if the monk has any other business? If it's not for him, I will go to ask Wang Junzhu for money after eating this bowl of noodles."

The two monks were overjoyed when they heard this, "Does the donor still know Lord Wang Shichong?"

Xiao Buyi said modestly again: "Actually, this is nothing."

The two monks looked at each other and knew each other's thoughts. It turned out that they came to find Xiao Buyi to have a bit of a great fortune. They came to Da Sui to learn Buddhist culture. Over the years, there have been many recitations and records of scriptures and Buddhist scriptures. In fact, the two monks came here to learn monks, but they traveled back and forth every year. They were not only Buddhism and Confucianism, but also envious of the political economy, technology and medicine of the Sui area, and were eager to seek advice. Even if the three provinces and six ministries of the Sui area were set up, the promulgation of the legal order was their object of study. However, the two monks only studied Buddhism and forgot to interact with each other. After the Golden Buddha was stolen, they were anxious.

There is no way to do anything. When they saw Wang Shichong's attitude was lukewarm, they knew that the Golden Buddha might not be able to be found. This Golden Buddha was dispensable to Wang Shichong, but for the two monks, it was more important than life. After turning back to the country, both the Holy Prince and the Holy Prince Su and Ma Zi believed in Buddhism and had many instructions on the Golden Buddha. They felt that they had let down the prince's trust and almost dared not return to the country. When they saw Xiao Buyi and Taoist monks, they thought that this person might be a person with great background in the Central Plains. They were anxious to seek medical treatment. They just wanted to ask Xiao Buyi, the master, to give some advice. Unexpectedly, the blind cat hit a dead mouse, and Xiao Buyi actually knew Wang Shichong.

"I dare not ask the donor for his name Gao's name?" Huiyin's excited voice trembled, and he had long discarded what "the mind of reciting Buddha's name is Buddha, and the false thoughts are ordinary people" to the back of his mind.

"Xiao Buyi."

"I have long admired the name of the great name." Guangqi also put aside the slander, "Since Mr. Xiao knows Lord Wang, I wonder if Lord Wang knows Donor Xiao?"

Xiao Buyi heard it awkwardly and thought to himself that these two were confused happily, "I don't know if the two monks have something to do, if they are fine..."

He wanted to speak, but he picked up the chopsticks, but Huiyin didn't care about being reserved. He had already said the matter of losing the Golden Buddha like a bean. Before he could ask, Xiao Buyi had already put down the chopsticks. "Does the monk want me to say to Lord Wang, hurry up and catch the thief who stole the Golden Buddha?"

"Ami Camel Buddha, donor Xiao is kind-hearted and can be guessed." Huiyin sighed and said, "I just don't know..."

"I have always been eager to Buddha, and I eat vegetarian noodles." Xiao Buyi said seriously: "When encountering such a thing that both people and gods are angry, how can I stand by and watch? Master, don't worry, after I get back the money, I will definitely mention this matter to Lord Wang. It's just whether the matter is successful or not, that's not something I can predict."

"As long as donor Xiao is intent, I am grateful." Huiyin Hiroshi shouted the Buddha's name together, full of gratitude. Mayu Nobuo and Mayukiko both came to thank him. Xiao Buyi asked for a bargain. He went to Wang Shichong with great confidence. The four Japanese were still worried and had nothing to do, so they just followed closely.

When they saw Xiao Buyi coming out of Wang Shichong, they held a bag of money in their hand, which was so heavy that it made people feel moved. The four of them asked, "What did Lord Wang say?"

Xiao Buyi raised the money and smiled and said, "Mr. Wang has done things quickly. He has found the money for me, and the money is a lot. He agreed and will notify you as soon as there is news. Please be careful not to be impatient."

After Xiao Buyi comforted everyone, he left. Nobuo Mayuki said with some doubts: "Two masters. What this person said is true."

"The master's style is unpredictable." Huiyin sighed and said, "I don't think Mr. Xiao will lie to me."

Mayukiko also sighed. "Brother, we don't seem to have any way to believe in Mr. Xiao now."

**

After Xiao Buyi left the four Japanese, he laughed in his heart. When he lost his bag, he immediately questioned Wang Shichong about the problem of guarding Yangzhou city. Of course, Wang Shichong would not admit that he stole it, but said that he promised to find the thief for him. Since the money was in Wang Shichong's hands, it was useless to keep it. When Xiao Buyi came to look for it again, he returned it to Xiao Buyi with ease, saying that the thief had been handed over to the government for law and was paid back in full force, and of course there was also the picture of the erotic palace. Xiao Buyi just wanted to see him in a frustrated manner. When he saw him, he still smiled and admired his first-class acting skills.

Of course, the Golden Buddha was also stolen by the bearded guest, but Xiao Buyi knew that it was not the time to return it to the Japanese. It was just that there was no harm in doing such a favour with such a bear.

When Xiao Buyi was still a long way from Yueyingfang, he suddenly

Someone summoned him, "Mr. Xiao..."

Xiao Buyi turned his head and looked over, and saw a man wearing a hat covering half of his face. Xiao Buyi walked slowly over, and had already recognized the other party but was Zhang Jincheng!

Xiao Buyi was wary of his heart, but smiled and said, "It turned out to be you, I wonder if he could bring Li Zitong's head?"

Zhang Jin said that he looked a little haggard, and he was much thinner than he had been more than a month ago. It must be because of external injuries and internal concerns. When he heard Xiao Buyi ask, he smiled bitterly: "Mr. Xiao, I didn't say that I would definitely take Li Zitong's head."

"I didn't say I must give you an antidote." Xiao Buyi turned around and left.

Zhang Jincheng said anxiously: "Sir Xiao, wait a moment."

"What are you doing?" Xiao Buyi frowned.

"This is the thing," Zhang Jincheng said frowningly: "After saying goodbye to Lord Xiao, I have been chasing Li Zitong's whereabouts, but he is very cunning, and my injury is not cured..." Seeing Xiao Buyi looking at him, Zhang Jincheng smiled bitterly: "It should be said that even if I am injured, it is not easy to kill him face to face."

"Oh?" Xiao Buyi said calmly: "Since you haven't killed Li Zitong, why are you here to come to me?"

"Four days later it will be the third day of the fifth lunar month." Zhang Jinsheng begged: "Mr. Xiao said that this spider egg may not occur on the third lunar month. Perhaps it will be one or two days earlier. I feel a little stomachache now. I am afraid that the spider egg has begun to become pregnant?"

He covered his stomach, his face full of pain, "Mr. Xiao, I just want you to give me an antidote first so that I can do my best to do my best."

"I'll give you a month of time, but I haven't seen any effect," Xiao Buyi frowned and said, "Since that's the case, how can I give you an antidote?"

"I'm just afraid that this poison will break out." Zhang Jin said that sweat beads flowed down his forehead. "Mr. Xiao, although he didn't kill Li Zitong, he knew that every fifth day of the fifth month, he would definitely go to Hongdoufang, Yangzhou to find a singer named Qingsidi. Maybe he would stay for a day or two. Master Xiao is very skilled in martial arts, and he would set up an ambush at that time and he would not worry about his immortality."

"Fifth day of the fifth month, Hongdoufang?" Xiao Buyi pondered for a moment before saying, "Are you sure Li Zitong going to go then?"

Zhang Jin said, nodding repeatedly, "I dare not joke about my life, and I also asked the Lord to give him an antidote first. Zhang Jin said that he would be willing to work hard for the sake of a dog or a horse that day, and he could be the pioneer and kill him."

Xiao Buyi took out a pill of medicine from his arms and handed it to Zhang Jincheng. Zhang Jincheng was stunned. He did not expect the antidote to be obtained so smoothly. He hesitated and asked: "Sir, is this the antidote?"

"This is not an antidote, it is just a pill that delays the onset of poison." Xiao Buyi explained: "After you take this pill, the spider eggs will not be pregnant until at least half a month later, so that we can wait until we kill Li Zitong before giving you an antidote. That is not the best of both worlds?"

Seeing Zhang Jincheng with a bitter face, Xiao Buyi asked, "Don't you?" Seeing Xiao Buyi take back the pills, Zhang Jincheng grabbed them and swallowed them, nodding repeatedly. "Then let's follow the instructions of the lord."

When Xiao Buyi saw him swallowing the pill, he smiled unaware of the corner of his mouth, "Since that's the case, come to me on the fifth day of the fifth month. If Li Zitong is there, kill him and give you an antidote. If he is not there, then you and I will just beat you and I."

Zhang Jincheng's face changed slightly. He nodded helplessly and said, "As soon as Lord Xiao's instructions."
