Chapter 414: What a powerful drug
Seeing that this monk actually performed "demon magic" again, making one of the guards fall to the ground, this frightened the other guards, and some people also showed frightened expressions, they could not retreat in the face of the battlefield of swords, mountains and fires, but they instinctively felt fear when they encountered such unpredictable things.

"Hold his hand!" Li Xiu immediately yelled when he saw this situation, he knew that if no one came forward at this time, maybe this monk would have a psychological advantage, so that those guards would not dare to touch him, but people have the habit of blind obedience, as long as someone can take the lead or even just command, it may be possible to turn the situation around.
Sure enough, only to Li Xiu's order, a stunned guard next to him almost instinctively reached out and grabbed the palm of the monk, and then twisted it violently, only to see a crisp sound of "click", the tall and strong guard did not control his strength under the panic, and actually broke the arm of the monk.
"Ah~" With a scream from the monk, as the whole person also came down at once, the other guards saw that the monk could be injured by his own people, and they were all bold at the moment, and then beat them with their hands and feet, and finally the monk couldn't even make a scream.
The people below saw that Master Zlo, who looked like a high-ranking monk just now, was beaten up, and it sounded terrible, which made them look at each other one by one, although some people felt a little unfair about Li Xiu and these people beating the master, but looking at the arrogant and domineering appearance of those guards, no one dared to step forward.
"Alright, don't beat people to death!" Li Xiu came over at this time and ordered, and then squatted down to check the guard who had been plotted just now, and found that he was not dead, but as if he was stunned, so he asked people to find some water and pour it on the guard's head, but this kid jumped up with a carp, but then he looked confused, and he didn't know what happened until now?
Seeing that the guards were fine, Li Xiu smiled and didn't pay attention to it, and then came to the monk who had been beaten and didn't look like a man, at this time there were still two guards holding his palm tightly, and it was estimated that they all guessed that there was a cat on the palm of this monk.
Li Xiu looked at this monk with a smile, and then reached out and grabbed his hand and turned it over, this guy's skin is very dark, but the palm is white, he doesn't look like a native of the Western Regions, but more like a third in later generations, which is also normal, after all, this period is the prevalent period of Buddhism in India, and many ascetics are preaching everywhere, and it is not strange to go to the Western Regions.
Li Xiu grabbed the monk's hand not to show him palmistry, but to carefully observe his fingernails, and finally found a white powder in several fingernails, which made him also show a curious look, let people take the pen, and then gently swept the powder out of his fingernails.
"This is the culprit who caused the guards to fall unconscious?" Pei Lin also stepped forward curiously at this time, looked at the powder in Li Xiu's hand and asked.
"Hehe~, just give it a try!" Li Xiu smiled at this time, and then looked at the monk on the ground, but this monk was beaten a little badly, and he was already half dead at this time, and he couldn't try any effect, so he had to look at the other goatee who was caught.
"You...... What are you going to do, there is a king's law at the feet of the Son of Heaven! Goatee saw Li Xiu's ill-intentioned gaze, and he said in a panic at the moment.
"Hehe, Wang Fa won't protect people like you!" Li Xiu stepped forward with a smile, then dipped the tip of a brush in a little powder and wiped it directly on his nose, but this goatee was the same as the guard just now, and his face stiffened and he collapsed to the ground.
"What a powerful drug, it can stun people with such a little!" Fu Yi was also very shocked at this time, thinking that he had almost fallen into the plot of the monk just now, he couldn't help but be a little afraid at the moment, although this monk didn't dare to do anything to himself, but if it was spread in the future, I am afraid it would also make him a laughing stock for others, and his reputation would be ruined, as soon as he thought of this, he was full of gratitude to Li Xiu and Pei Lian.
"Who...... Who's making trouble here? At this moment, I suddenly saw a group of people parting from the crowd, and they broke in and said loudly, it turned out to be a group of Jin Wuwei who maintained law and order in Chang'an, and the first person turned out to be Li Xiu's acquaintance.
"Old enemy, I didn't expect us to be really fateful!" When Li Xiu saw the one-eyed dragon general led by him, he couldn't help laughing and said, this person was the old enemy he had met at the beginning, and it was he who told him the news of Wang Junkuo's escape last time, but unfortunately he didn't care much about it at the time, but he was kidnapped by Wang Junkuo later.
"It turned out to be a colt!" As soon as Lao Qiu saw Li Xiu on the stage, he also strode up to the stage and saluted with a surprised face, and then looked at the situation in the stands, with an inquiring expression on his face.
"Old enemy, this monk is here to fool the people with some ghost tricks, and I have debunked it, you can take him back and interrogate him properly!" Li Xiu smiled and said to the old enemy, since they are acquaintances, it will be easy to do.
"It's these monks again, grandma doesn't know what's going on during this time, there are many monks in the Western Regions and Nanyang, and a lot of them have been arrested in the prisons of Chang'an and Wannian counties!" Lao Qiu couldn't help but show a look of disgust when he heard Li Xiu's words, it seemed that it was not the first time he had encountered this kind of case.
"Don't worry, don't worry, this monk has been handed over to me, and when I enter the prison, I have to let them taste the guys in our Central Plains prison!" After Lao Qiu finished speaking, he patted his chest to Li Xiu and reassured.
"That's good, but you should also be careful, this monk has a very powerful drug, a small point can make people unconscious, this paper is the point I took from him, which can be used as evidence of his crime!" Li Xiu said as he folded the paper with the drug powder in his hand and handed it to Lao Qiu Dao.
"Thank you, donkey, I'll have him stripped naked when I go back, and then rinse him with water a few more times!" Lao Qiu also said with a solemn expression when he heard this.
For example, some time ago, he heard that in the prison of Wannian County, there was a monk who escaped, and the entire cell was not damaged at all, and he still doesn't know how he escaped?
At that moment, Li Xiu confessed a few more words to Lao Qiu, and then said goodbye and left, but when he left, he deliberately whispered a few words to Lao Qiu, which made Lao Qiu nod again and again, promising to help Li Xiu do it properly.
After Li Xiu and the others left, the people around the high platform were still reluctant to leave, and Lao Qiu asked people to tie up the goatee and the monk firmly at this time, he knew that these two people must have other accomplices, but now they must have run out, but these two people are the main culprits, and it is also a great achievement to be able to catch them.
"Okay, let's all disperse, a monk who pretends to be a ghost will bluff you, it's a shame, hurry up and disperse, such a wide Vermilion Bird Street will block you!" Lao Qiu saw that the people below were still not leaving, and immediately drove away with an impatient face, sometimes he couldn't understand, why were these people so stupid, a little trick could turn them around?
Ordinary people are afraid of officials, Jin Wuwei is in charge of the security of Chang'an City, and he usually deals with ordinary people the most, which also makes the people the most afraid of them. In addition, the excitement has also been watched, and it is very exciting, which also makes many people have a strong desire to show off, so as soon as the old enemy spoke, the people below immediately dispersed, and after a while, the communication on the street was restored, and at the same time, the news about this monk liar also immediately spread in Chang'an City.
"Where are Pei Xiang and the horse going?" Fu Yi followed Li Xiu and the others into the carriage together, and then asked the two of them, he usually doesn't have much to do, and he happened to pass by here today to take care of this matter.
"This ......" Pei Lin hesitated for a moment, and finally sighed and said, "It's okay to tell Brother Fu about this, hasn't Your Majesty already moved to Da'an Palace, so I'm going to go to visit Your Majesty with my concubine!" ”
If it were someone else, Pei Lin might not tell the truth, but Fu Yi was also Li Yuan's old friend, when they were in Taiyuan before, they also occasionally went out to drink and have fun, and later after Li Yuan ascended the throne, Fu Yi was also picked up by Li Yuan, and he was also loyal to Li Yuan, so it didn't hurt to tell him.
"I want to see Your Majesty!" Fu Yi was stunned for a moment when he heard Pei Lian's words, then sat up straight, and said solemnly, "Pei Xiang, how is Your Majesty now, I heard that Your Majesty was seriously ill a few days ago, and now your body has recovered a little?" ”
"I heard that Your Majesty is getting better, the reason why Your Majesty moved to Da'an Palace this time is also to recuperate, the scenery over there is beautiful, and the second is relatively quiet, it must not be long before Your Majesty's body can recover!" Pei Lin replied with a smile.
"Then I'm ......" Fu Yi was also a little excited when he heard this, and just wanted to say something, but he stopped immediately after only saying two words, and his face was full of helpless wry smile, he also wanted to visit Li Yuan, one to do his duty as a courtier, and the other to do his duty as a friend, but he immediately thought of Li Yuan's current situation, and immediately dispelled this idea, because he knew that Li Shimin would agree to Li Xiu and Pei Lin to visit His Majesty, but he would definitely not agree to other courtiers to visit His Majesty.
"Brother Fu, I know your intentions, and when I see Your Majesty, I will definitely help you convey it!" Pei Lin also understood Fu Yi's thoughts, and immediately said that in order to see Li Yuan, he even resigned as an official, and it was basically impossible for Fu Yi to see Li Yuan.
"Well, I know, thank you Pei Xiang!" Fu Yi also had a sense of loss at this time, but when he said this, he suddenly thought of something, so he raised his head and arched his hand to Li Xiu, "Don Ma, thank you for your rescue just now, otherwise the old man will make a fool of himself today!" ”
"It's too polite, when I see that monk deceit, I naturally can't sit idly by!" Li Xiu thanked Fu Yi when he saw him, and hurriedly returned the salute at the moment.
"By the way, there's something I can't figure out!" At this moment, I saw Pei Lin suddenly look at Li Xiu with curiosity, and then continued to ask with a smile, "Among the two people who came to the stage before, the paralyzed man must be a monk from Fan, and then I also felt like a group of monks with that butcher, so I always felt that the monk had no ability, and I was not alert after Brother Fu came to power, but then how did you find out that there was something in the hands of that monk?" ”
Pei Lian's words were actually what Fu Yi wanted to ask, even if he made it so close, he didn't find out that Fan Seng was doing tricks, but Li Xiu in the audience found out, if it wasn't for Li Xiu's identity, I'm afraid he would have to wonder if Li Xiu was in the same group as Fan Seng?
"Hehe, actually, I guessed too!" Li Xiu smiled slightly at this time.
"Guess?" Pei Lin and Fu Yi were stunned when they heard his answer, and then they didn't believe it, after all, Li Xiu's performance just now was not like guessing, but as if he was completely sure.
"Actually, this is also very simple, I didn't believe that the monk knew what spells from the beginning, so in my opinion, everything he did was to deceive people, judging from the previous situation of their acting, this group of liars is cautious, and there will definitely not be any big loopholes, and there should be a way to deal with emergencies, such as Tai Shiling suddenly broke on the stage to question the other party, that goatee and monk were quite confident to cast any spells again, there must be fraud in this!"
When he said this, Li Xiu deliberately paused and then said: "Of course, it is definitely not possible to just guess, but when that monk cast a spell on Tai Shi Ling, he behaved differently than before, and he was more around you in a strange pace, and others were attracted by his movements, but I found that he deliberately hung down his sleeves to cover his hands, and deliberately approached Tai Shi Ling at the last moment, these are different from the previous spells, so I boldly concluded that this fan monk must have a trick, which made people interrupt him!" ”
"I see, at that time, I also felt that the monk seemed to deliberately get closer to me, but at that time, I was open-minded and deliberately did not retreat, but I didn't expect to fall into his trap!" Fu Yi nodded thoughtfully when he heard this, and at the same time admired Li Xiu in his heart, no wonder he became famous in the Tang Dynasty at a young age, and he really had wisdom and observation that ordinary people could not match.
At that moment, Fu Yi thanked Li Xiu again, and then the three of them chatted in the carriage for a while, and when they were about to enter the palace, Fu Yi got out of the carriage and said goodbye, and then Li Xiu's carriage entered the palace Although Li Yuan had moved out of here, when they wanted to see Li Yuan, they still had to obtain Li Shimin's consent in advance.
It is precisely because of this that after Li Xiu and Pei Lin entered the palace, they immediately rushed to the Liangyi Palace, and soon the two passed through the heavy palace gates, and finally came to the tall and majestic Liangyi Palace, but just as the two of them approached the Liangyi Palace, they saw a strange scene.
