After coming to the side hall, Emperor Deqing secretly observed, and found that the person with a headache and crying was an old man about fifty years old, the old man was in rags, his expression was vicissitudes, and he was kneeling in front of the golden body of the statue of Jizo Bodhisattva at this time, constantly sobbing in a low voice, crying bitterly, and looking pitiful.

Behind the old man, followed by more than a dozen people, all of whom seemed to be from poor families, and their expressions were extremely sad, and after hearing the old man's low sobs, they also cried one by one.

After Emperor Deqing came to the side hall, when he saw this scene, he couldn't help but hesitate.

In the life of Emperor Deqing, there was very little experience in dealing with ordinary poor people, and even less experience in comforting others, and now when he saw a group of poor people gathered together and sobbed, although he wanted to ask the reason, he didn't know how to speak.

In a certain way, "finding Zhao Junchen in trouble" is already one of Emperor Deqing's thinking inertia, so after hesitating for a moment, Emperor Deqing turned his head to look at Zhao Junchen and ordered: "Junchen, you go and ask them what's going on, I came here this time to observe the people's feelings, and now I have encountered the suffering of the people, but I can't sit idly by." ”

Zhao Junchen agreed, and walked quickly towards the old man in the lead.

And Emperor Deqing also followed, intending to follow and listen.

At this time, just outside the side hall, Hui Bao, the presiding officer of Nanchan Temple, who had been hiding in the dark to control the situation, also knew about the accident, but his face was full of anxiety, and he kept spying on the situation in the side hall, for fear that this accident would cause Emperor Deqing to be unhappy.

On the occasion of Emperor Deqing's visit to Nanchan Temple. In order to serve Emperor Hao Deqing and prevent any accidents, Huibao can be said to be painstaking and prepared. Although today's Canglang Pavilion is ostensibly open to the public, in fact, all believers who enter Canglang Pavilion to burn incense and worship Buddha have been strictly screened. They are all familiar believers who are neatly dressed, have an innocent family background, and are honest and duty-bound, while those who are untidy, have a bad family background, have a bad temperament, and have unknown origins are all turned away.

However, although Huibao is a thousand calculations, it still cannot prevent the occurrence of "accidents" after all.

At this time, the people who were crying in front of the golden statue of Jizo Bodhisattva were not only in disarray, but also of unknown origin, and at first glance they were about to cause trouble, and it stands to reason that these people could not enter the Daxiong Hall of Canglang Pavilion at all.

However. I don't know what the problem is, these people actually avoided the obstruction of Nanchan Temple, and came to the Daxiong Treasure Hall unknowingly, and also attracted the attention of Emperor Deqing with crying!

"What the hell is going on!?" After seeing the situation in the side hall, Huibao turned his head to several monks behind him and asked, "How did these people appear here because they were all disheveled and of unknown origin?" Didn't I already tell you? People like this must not let them in, otherwise once they cause His Majesty's displeasure, our Nanchan Temple will be in trouble! ”

Hearing Huibao's questioning, several monks also looked at each other. After a long time, someone finally replied, "Presiding, we did what you told us to do, how did these people appear?" I, we don't know, it stands to reason that this shouldn't have happened......"

Huibao's brows twisted into twists, and a hint of worry appeared in his expression.

He suddenly felt. The situation in front of me is really a little weird, as if it contains some kind of conspiracy and calculation. Such a big omission, if no one deliberately arranged. It simply can't happen! In order to curry favor with Emperor Deqing this time, he invited Emperor Deqing to live in Canglang Pavilion, perhaps a stupid decision, and he let Nanchan Temple get involved in the whirlpool.

"Hurry up and find out! What the hell is going on! ”

With Huibao's order, several monks hurried away, leaving Huibao still standing anxiously outside the side hall, continuing to spy on the situation in the side hall, and constantly praying to the Buddha in his heart, hoping that the accident in front of him would not make Emperor Deqing angry to Nanchan Temple.

Speaking of which, since serving as the presiding officer of Nanchan Temple, it was the first time that he prayed to the Buddha so devoutly.

And in just a few words, in the side hall, the situation has changed again!

At this time, Zhao Junchen had already asked the reason why the people were crying, and on the side, Emperor Deqing also heard it.

Huibao was too far away to hear the details clearly, only to see that Emperor Deqing seemed to have an angry face, Zhou Shangjing was silent, and Zhao Junchen hung his head, making it difficult to see his expression.

*

Zhao Junchen was quite affinity, and after a few words of comfort, he quickly gained the trust of several people, and inquired about the reason for their crying.

It turns out that these people are all fishermen in Suzhou, just a year ago, there were pirates in Suzhou, after the pirates entered Suzhou by boat along the river, the fishermen who lived by the river became the first victims, under the burning and looting of the pirates, many fishermen have encountered the tragedy of family ruin!

These people who are crying in front of them are all relatives who died in that tragedy, and now it is the anniversary, so they came to the Daxiong Hall of Nanchan Temple today, which is not only to pay tribute to the deceased relatives, but also to pray to the Jizo Bodhisattva, hoping that under the protection of the Jizo Bodhisattva, those deceased relatives can be reborn into a good family in the next life and do not suffer again.

However, on the occasion of the memorial, thinking of the tragedy last year, these people couldn't hold back the grief in their hearts, but they cried one after another, and finally attracted the attention of Emperor Deqing!

The descriptions of these people are the reason why Emperor Deqing, Zhou Shangjing, Zhao Junchen and others have different looks.

In fact, when Emperor Deqing heard the word "Wakou", his expression had changed, and his eyes, which were originally quite gentle, suddenly sharpened a lot, and he looked at Zhou Shangjing from time to time, with a very serious expression.

On the other side, Zhou Shangjing seemed to be thoughtful, and seemed to be in pain, but he was silent.

As for Zhao Junchen, he bowed his head, but he didn't intend to express any opinions.

The atmosphere between the three of them was so dull.

After a while, Emperor Deqing suddenly turned around and walked quickly away from the Daxiong Treasure Hall and walked towards the back garden of Canglang Pavilion.

And Zhao Junchen and Zhou Shangjing hurriedly followed.

When the three of them left the confines of the Daxiong Treasure Hall, Emperor Deqing finally spoke.

"Zhou Aiqing, this is the second time I've heard that there has been a rebellion in Suzhou! Last time, you swore to me that the so-called Suzhou Wakou incident was purely false, and I believed you at the time, but now this situation, how do you plan to explain it?! ”
