Chapter 454 Silent Threat
Jingxin opened his eyes in a daze. Qiao Wanyan just felt a little regretful when she saw him die, without any fear or uneasiness about killing someone.
In order to leave no trace, they just hanged him.
It was really too easy for him. Jingxin should have had her reputation ruined and been turned into a human pig to die.
Forget it, after all, this is a Buddhist place, how can it be so ruthless?
Isn't this a lack of respect for God?
"Let's follow the plan."
Zi Yuan was about to respond when she suddenly saw a figure flash by in the distance, "Who is it?"
As soon as he said this, his legs had already run towards the window.
Qiao Wanyan walked over and saw the figure hurriedly leaving in the distance.
It’s Chen Zishan.
Why is he in the National Temple?
Qiao Wanyan frowned, "Wait a minute, take me out."
Zi Yuan responded, turned over and went out of the window, carrying Qiao Wanyan out of the Zen room, and walked quickly with her in the direction where Chen Zishan left.
There was a fire in the National Temple and everyone rushed to put out the fire.
The people coming and going carrying buckets of water looked anxious and hurried. It had only been such a short time and the temple had already been flooded three times. Could it be that it had been possessed by an evil spirit?
"It makes sense. The National Temple had never had a fire before. How come it has had three fires in less than half a year?"
"I think there must be some evil spirit in the temple, otherwise why is it so weird?"
"Demon, don't we have a ready-made demon monk in our temple? As long as he is in our temple, there will be no peace in our temple!"
"Once the fire is out, we can propose to the abbot to drive Jingxin away. Living with him is really unlucky!"
"That's right. The people who grew up with us are always restless. They killed Abbot Zhiyuan and now they want to kill us, right?"
Qiao Wanyan heard a lot of words about Jingxin while chasing Chen Zishan, but at the moment she didn't have the leisure to find it interesting.
The fire broke out in a small kitchen, which was the kitchen of the current abbot.
The fire could not be extinguished for a while after being deliberately doused with oil. Abbot Huihe stood in the distance with his hands folded in prayer. Suddenly, a strange young man walked quickly towards him.
He has a handsome appearance and is young. His clothes and appearance do not look like those of an ordinary child. Instead, he looks like a young man from a noble family.
There are quite a few people staying in the national temple today, most of them are ladies from the capital.
He had no impression of this young man.
"Donor, there is a flood here, so we should take shelter somewhere safe."
After saying this, he ordered the young monk beside him to lead him to the main hall.
Chen Zishan looked solemn, "Abbot, I have something important to tell you!"
His tone was heavy and anxious. Abbot Huihe felt confused and worried. "Don't be anxious, benefactor. Just tell me what's the matter slowly."
Chen Zishan accidentally glanced and saw the figures of Qiao Wanyan and her servant in the distance.
Qiao Wanyan did not rush over, but just stopped and looked at him calmly.
She raised her jade hand and touched her hair bun, and under Shen Zishan's sight, she pulled out a hairpin from her head.
Chen Zishan was stunned on the spot.
Double, double phoenix hairpins?
Isn’t that....my sister’s?
Qiao Wanyan looked at the still exquisite hairpin in her hand without lowering her eyes. After a moment, she looked at Shen Zishan, who had a look of surprise and uneasiness on his face, raised her lips and smiled lightly without saying a word.
Abbot Huihe asked, "Donor, what happened?"
Chen Zishan retracted his gaze, was silent for a moment and said: "No, nothing. I just want to ask why the fire broke out out of nowhere."
Abbot Huihe said, "It's still unclear now. Donor, please leave here quickly to avoid getting hurt."
Chen Zishan turned and left, strode to Qiao Wanyan, and asked in a deep voice, "Where is my sister? She came to the National Temple with you, where is she now?!"
He had learned from others in the past that the second daughter of the Minister of Revenue was the most noble lady in the capital. She was calm and easy to get along with, and was the woman that many young men in the capital dreamed of meeting.
I dare not desecrate her and dream of marrying her. Just meeting her once is a gift from God.
But now that I have personally met him, I realized that his calm and easy-going nature was just a fake illusion.
Qiao Wanyan is a dangerous woman.
Lingyi suddenly became on good terms with her and even went to the National Temple with her. He was so worried that he rushed over overnight.
But he didn't expect to accidentally see such a scene in the Zen room in the backyard.
How dare she be so bold as to kill someone!
Qiao Wanyan covered her chest, “Master Shen is so ferocious, I’m scared.”
Chen Zishan gritted his teeth, "I ask you, where is Lingyi?!"
Zi Yuan scolded, "What are you yelling about? Why is your sister asking our young lady what she is doing? Your sister is not my young lady's grandson!"
Chen Zishan frowned, not wanting to waste any more words with her, so he bypassed her and wanted to go to the Zen room in the backyard to look for someone.
Qiao Wanyan turned around and looked at his hurriedly leaving back, her beautiful face hidden in the night becoming gloomy.
"Miss......."
She said, "What a pity."
He originally wanted to kill Shen Lingyi and her servant, then take down Jingxin's body, and while everyone was here to put out the fire, he took advantage of the chaos to hang Jingxin's body in Shen Lingyi's meditation room.
The Imperial Envoys will report to the emperor that he killed Shen Lingyi and set fire to the National Temple and then committed suicide in revenge for Shen Lingyi. Shen Chunlai will also know about this, but the emperor will definitely not let it become a big deal.
The matter of the evil monk has nothing to do with the Shen family. This is the ending given by the emperor. Even if Shen Chunlai knew the "truth", he would not make a fuss.
Shen Lingyi will die tragically and no one will care.
But now, everything was disrupted by the sudden arrival of Shen Zishan.
Qiao Wanyan raised her hand and looked at the double phoenix hairpin in her hand. The hairpin she picked up casually turned out to be a treasure that temporarily shut Chen Zishan's mouth.
Who said Qiao Yihuan is lucky?
I am clearly incredibly lucky.
Chen Zishan didn't know which Zen room Chen Lingyi lived in. Now there was no one in the Zen room. He searched one by one and finally found someone in a Zen room with a closed door.
Chu Lu fell asleep with her back leaning against the door in the room, and Shen Lingyi also fell asleep on the bed.
Chen Zishan walked quickly to the bed, "Lingyi? Lingyi? Lingyi, wake up quickly......"
After calling for a long time, Shen Lingyi showed no sign of waking up.
Chen Zishan's heart skipped a beat, and a bad premonition suddenly arose.
He held his breath and carefully checked Shen Lingyi's breath, but before he could feel it, he heard footsteps at the door.
“Although Master Shen is Lingyi’s brother, it’s somewhat against the rules to barge in at night, isn’t it?”
Qiao Wanyan's tone was indifferent, and it was impossible to tell what her emotion was at the moment.
Chen Zishan shouted angrily: “What on earth did you do to Lingyi?!”
Qiao Wanyan smiled and said, "It's nothing, just a little poison. Don't worry, it won't kill you."
