This time, Luo QingHan didn't ask Yu Linwei to clear the scene. He pretended to be an ordinary aristocratic childe and got off with Xiao Xixi.

Zhao Xian and 200 Yu Linwei were left on standby. Only Duke Chang followed the prince and Xiao Xi into the Bodhisattva temple.

The Bodhisattva in the temple slightly lowered his head, raised his mouth, and looked at the world kneeling down with compassion.

Luo QingHan didn't worship the Bodhisattva. He called the Zhike monk and said he would donate sesame oil money.

The Zhike monk saw that he was well dressed and extraordinary, and guessed that his identity should not be simple.

Zhike monk immediately cheered up, smiled and folded his hands, saluted them, and then led them to the meditation room in the backyard and met the abbot and monk of the Bodhisattva temple.

The abbot looked like he was in his forties. When he learned Luo QingHan's intention, the smile on his face became more and more kind.

Luo QingHan was not vague, so he directly asked father-in-law Chang to take out a thousand liang of silver tickets and donate them to the temple as sesame oil money.

The abbot took the silver note with both hands and said with a smile: "thank you for your generosity. My Buddha is merciful. I will certainly bless the benefactor and your family and friends for happiness, health and longevity."

He specially took out the collected tea and personally cooked tea to entertain Luo QingHan and others.

The abbot originally wanted to tell them about the Buddhist scriptures, but Luo QingHan was not interested in listening to them. He asked about other things.

"When was your temple built?"

The abbot answered truthfully, "ten years ago, the poor monk was just an ordinary monk at that time. The original Abbot was the master of the poor monk. He passed away five years ago, and then the poor monk took over the position of abbot."

Luo QingHan: "do you know the past of this place?"

"What do you mean, benefactor?"

Luo QingHan: "Shen family."

The abbot suddenly said: "it turns out that the benefactor is an old friend of the Shen family. No wonder you are so generous. This used to be the old house of the Shen family. Unfortunately, the Shen family suffered a great disaster 16 years ago and was attacked by a group of mountain bandits nearby.

More than 200 members of the Shen family were killed, and even their infant children were not spared.

What's more irritating is that after killing people and robbing things, the mountain bandits set fire to the whole Shen family's old house.

Although I didn't witness the fire with my own eyes, I heard others talk about it. It was said that the fire burned for three days and three nights. Finally, there was nothing to burn. Then it gradually went out. At that time, the old house of the Shen family was burned into ruins. "

At this point, the abbot can't help sighing.

"I heard that the Lord of the Shen family is generous and generous. He has spared justice and money for many times to relieve the poor people. He is a real good man. I didn't expect such a good man to end up in such a tragic outcome."

Luo QingHan: "how about those mountain bandits who kill and set fire? Have you caught them?"

Abbot: "King Chen Liuwang took his own troops to suppress the bandits. The whole mountain bandit house was brought in one pot. Those mountain bandits were killed and none left. They deserved it."

Speaking of this, he folded his hands and said Amitabha.

Luo QingHan asked again, "since you are going to suppress bandits, have you seized anything?"

The abbot shook his head: "I don't know about it."

Luo was cold and silent.

The abbot guessed that he should be interested in the Shen family, so he went on.

"After the old house of the Shen family was burned down, this place was in ruins. People living nearby often said that they would hear crying at night. Some people said that it was the soul of the Shen family who remained here crying for help.

Everyone was very afraid and specially asked the master of the poor monk to come and chant scriptures for the dead.

Later, with the support of kind-hearted people, master built a temple here. With a Bodhisattva sitting in the town, those gangsters were in peace.

Gradually, everyone forgot about the Shen family. If the benefactor hadn't mentioned it, the poor monk probably couldn't remember those things. "

Noticing that the tea on the table is cold, the abbot wants to renew the tea for the other party.

Luo QingHan: "no, it's getting late. We should go back. Thank you for your hospitality."

The abbot put down the teapot and personally sent them out of the gate.

Yulin guards escorted the prince's car back to the city.

In the carriage, Luo QingHan is closing his eyes.

Xiao Xixi looked down at the Vajra Sutra for a while. She couldn't see it anymore. She simply looked up at the prince in front of her.

She stopped talking and wanted to.

Finally, he couldn't restrain his curiosity and asked.

"Your Highness is investigating the killing of the Shen family?"

Luo QingHan slowly raised his eyelids and showed his deep black eyes. He answered faintly: "well."

Xiao Cuoxi: "are you suspecting that there is another secret in the Shen family's extermination?"

Luo QingHan did not answer the question: "in fact, this time, Gu took the initiative to ask to send the ashes of his mother's imperial concubine to Chenliu County, which is a test of his father and Emperor."

Xiao Xi didn't understand: "what do you want to test?"

"Gu once tried to inquire about the Shen family, but no one in the palace knew these things. Father and queen mother must know, but they never said it.

Gu several times suspected that the death of his mother's imperial concubine and the destruction of the Shen family had something to do with them, so Gu deliberately proposed to go back to Chenliu county to see what his father's attitude was?

If he refuses sternly, it means that there is a ghost in his heart and he dare not let him go back to Chenliu county. "

Xiao Xixi: "but the emperor agreed to your request."

Luo QingHan sighed: "yes, my father agreed. In this way, it seems lonely and suspicious."

Xiao Xixi thought seriously: "maybe the emperor is not afraid of you to check? After all, it has been so many years. It is impossible to leave any evidence. Even if you want to check, it is difficult to find out why."

"Maybe."

The car was quiet for a moment.

Luo QingHan suddenly asked, "don't you think it's a very despicable performance to guess the father and queen mother with such a malicious idea?"

Xiao Xi blinked: "I think your idea is human."

"It's human to maliciously guess your father?"

Xiao Cuixi: "this has to be analyzed in detail. If you get along well with the emperor since childhood and the emperor has poured a lot of love into you, you really shouldn't doubt him.

But in fact, he didn't give you too much love, and that's why you lost your most basic trust in him.

On this basis, it is human nature for you to have reasonable doubts about him.

What's more, you're just suspicious and didn't convict him directly. Aren't you careful to prove it?

Since your relationship is too weak to support trust, use objective evidence. I think it's reasonable. You don't need to feel guilty about it. "

Luo QingHan looked at her steadily, and he didn't speak for a long time.

"You're right. You think too much."

He had long known that the trust between himself and his father was in name only.

The reason why he asked Xiao Xi was to know what she thought.

Does she think he's too cold-blooded?

Fortunately, her answer did not disappoint him.

She is always on his side.
