Fletcher Tashi Among the Monks Chapter 10

Tashi accompanied Lorelei to the Buddhist temple in the western suburbs to pray for blessings. They added oil to the butter lamp in front of the Buddha. Lorelei looked solemn, and the flickering light and shadow of the butter lamp reflected on her face. To find the website, please search on Baidu + After adding oil, she went to the Buddha to offer Tibetan incense. Tashi handed her a white hada. Lorelei took it and raised her hands high in front of the Buddha. Her tears flowed down, and her raised hands gradually fell down. Finally, she hugged the hada to her chest. In front of me, I burst into tears. Upon seeing this, Tashi retreated quietly.

Lorelei has always felt deeply guilty about her deceased husband. For Tibetans, holding Buddhist rituals for their deceased relatives, providing food and alms, and choosing an auspicious sky burial are crucial life events, which will allow the soul of the deceased to be liberated and reincarnate smoothly. Not only could she not be able to follow these normal rituals, she could only keep her longing for her husband deep in her heart. Today in front of the Buddha, Lorelei finally cried heartily, firstly for her husband, and secondly for her own destiny.

In the empty field outside the Buddhist hall, dozens of lamas have gathered waiting to receive alms. The servants of Dele House shouted to the beggars and wanderers who were coming, telling them to stand in line. These people were naked, and their poverty and ignorance tortured them to a point of numbness.

Gangzhu saw Tashi coming and shouted: "It's arranged, it's arranged, Master Dele is here to give alms to everyone."

Tashi came to Gangzhu, stood still, and began to give out alms. When the beggar came over, Tashi put a Tibetan banknote in his hand and Gangzhu put a mark on his face.

Reece Wang and Luo Dan came towards the Buddhist temple. They saw Tashi giving alms from a distance and slowed down. A pair of eyes gradually came closer to Tashi, and Tashi also noticed him. The two looked at each other, and it was Reece Wang who came. When Reece Wang received the hidden money, he felt more and more strange and turned around as he walked. Luo Dan also collected the banknotes and said quickly, "Isn't this Tashi?"

Tashi hurriedly covered it up, pretending as if nothing had happened, and continued to give out charity. Gangzhu heard this, stepped forward and dragged Luo Dan away, shouting: "Leave after you've received it, go quickly, go quickly, and walk farther away!"

Rodin believed in his eyes and argued: "He is my friend, Tashi."

Gangzhu waved his hand and hit him with a whip, and cursed: "Why are you tearing your neck and shouting? Go away! You are worthy of having your dog's eyes blinded and befriending our young master!"

Reece Wang dragged Luo Dan to an alley far away. Luo Dan was puzzled and insisted: "I must have seen correctly. He is Tashi."

Reece Wang also felt the same and said in confusion: "It should be right, how did he become a young master?" Luo Dan raised the banknotes in his hand, looked at it again and again in the sun, and said: "It's true...Where did he get so much money?"

Reece Wang thought about it and finally said: "He is a lama and has knowledge. He can easily get into the aristocracy."

Luo Dan said shamelessly: "He is a speculator and does not want revolution at all. I have already said that we are not mules in the same shed!"

While Zhaxi was issuing the notice, he looked towards Reece Wang and Luo Dan at the entrance of the alley in the distance. He was thinking in his mind, Reece Wang and Luo Dan should have gone to eastern Tibet, why did they come back? There are two possibilities. One is that the gay association in eastern Tibet has been destroyed by the Kashag government; the other is that they did not go to eastern Tibet at all, but were hiding somewhere nearby to avoid the news. Reece Wang advocates violent revolution, and he wants to be the Seventy-Two Martyrs of Huanghuagang in Lhasa. This is dangerous.

Tashi quickly approached Gangzhu and whispered to him: "They are still there, they are very dangerous. Go and take them away quickly and settle them in a manor in the suburbs. Don't let them come into contact with anyone." Gangzhu nodded. Promised: "I understand."

"The one with the black face is called Reece Wang, and the young one is called Luo Dan." After the two people finished speaking, they looked up towards the entrance of the alley, only to find that Reece Wang and Luo Dan had disappeared. Tashi said anxiously: "Gangzhu, go quickly, we have to find them life or death."

Gangzhu grabbed the whip and ran quickly towards the entrance of the alley. Reece Wang and Luo Dan had already disappeared in the alley. Gangzhu looked around and hurried to the intersection, but there was still no Reece Wang, Luo Dan or Shadow at the intersection. Gangzhu thought for a while and ran towards a slum where homeless people and beggars lived. In the slums, there are broken tents connected with broken tents, people lying on the ground, and it is dirty and messy. Gangzhu covered his nose, lifted up the tent, and looked at the pedestrians, but Reece Wang and Luo Dan were nowhere to be seen. He became desperate and turned around and walked toward the street.

As Gangzhu walked, he looked around, and suddenly he saw Luo Dan and Reece Wang at the intersection ahead. Gangzhu felt ecstatic, and just as he was about to run over, he heard the sound of whipping not far away, and he looked up. It turned out that the guard of honor and the escorting Tibetan soldiers of Marshall Rinchen came over. Lobsang was riding a horse in the queue, and behind him was Marshall Rinchen's sedan chair. Pedestrians on the road gave way one after another, some leaned on the wall, some bent over and stuck out their tongues, not daring to look directly at him. Afraid of getting into trouble, Gangzhu quickly turned his back and pressed his face against the wall.

Preston Dele 's ceremonial guard gradually approached Luo Dan and Reece Wang. The two men suddenly jumped up from the wall, pushed down the sedan chair, and stabbed them with their swords. The sedan fell to the ground, but it was empty inside. Reece Wang was stunned and ran away. The Tibetan soldiers who reacted followed closely under the command of Luosang. Reece Wang and Luo Dan were pushed to the ground by Tibetan soldiers before they ran far. When Gangzhu saw that they were arrested, he was so frightened that he fled the scene.

Reece Wang and Luo Dan were taken to the municipal government office and tortured until their bodies were covered with bruises. Rinqin came to the scene after hearing the news. He wanted to interrogate the two assassins personally. When Luo Dan saw Rinqin, he was extremely jealous and cursed: "Why are you here, you dog official? I didn't kill you today, so I guess you are lucky."

The executioner raised his hand and whipped his whip, shouting: "How dare you!" He shouted at Reece Wang: "Say it!"

Reece Wang confessed and said frankly: "We just want to kill you to avenge the comrades imprisoned in Kalimpong Prison."

"Are you from the Snowy Comrades Association?"

"That's right."

"A few months ago, you were the ones throwing bombs at me on the street, right?"

"That's right."

"Have you ever gotten into my house?"

"That's right."

"Isn't the lama who is supporting you outside the wall also a comrade?"

Reece Wang frowned and kept silent.

Luo Dan said bluntly: "Nothing happens without him. He doesn't want to participate at all, not counting our comrades... Oh, how do you know there is a lama?"

Rinqin smiled: "You idiot, there is a cassock hanging on the wall of my house. What is his name?"

Luo Dan knew that he had spilled the beans and refused to admit his fault. He lied and said: "His name is Tathagata Buddha. I just said nonsense. There is no lama, just the two of us!"

The executioner angrily shouted: "How dare you speak so harshly! Rinchen Kalon, Lord Nima, sit here and watch me squeeze out their urine." He continued to torture, and Reece Wang and Luo Dan screamed miserably after being beaten.

When Rinqin and his party left the torture chamber, they could still hear Reece Wang and Luo Dan screaming, loudly and quietly. Rinchen said to Nima: "Tell them not to be lenient or serious, and to be merciful."

Nima was puzzled and asked tentatively: "What do you mean..."

"Don't kill these two people, keep them alive! Wait for his accomplices to come to rescue them, that person is the mastermind behind it."

Nima suddenly realized: "I understand, if you can't let go of the lamb, you can't attract the wolf."

Out of breath, Gangzhu ran back to Dele Mansion. Tashi and Lorelei had already returned and were arranging servants to do things in the yard. When Tashi saw the panicked Gangzhu, he knew something was wrong and took him into the Buddhist hall to talk. Lorelei followed closely behind.

Tashi had no choice but to tell her the truth: "My two friends in India have returned to Lhasa. They assassinated Rinchen on the street just now and were caught by the Marshall Rinchen guards."

Lorelei was stunned and asked: "Do they know your details?"

"They saw me and recognized me when I was doing the announcement just now. I was worried that something was going to happen."

Lorelei was surprised, and after thinking deeply, he asked: "Tashi Lama, you lied to me, you lied. You have been in Dele Mansion for a while, and I have been observing you. You are by no means an ordinary lama. Tell me, What do you and those two people on the street do?"

"This is no longer important. The most important thing now is to rescue my two friends."

"This is important. There is a lama living in my house and I don't know who he is."

In order to save Reece Wang and Luo Dan, Tashi had no choice but to say against his will: "Have you heard of the 'Snowland Comrades Association'?"

Lorelei shook his head, and Gangzhu and Wangchuk looked at each other.

Tashi continued: "I joined this organization in India. We take Sun Yat-sen's Three People's Principles as our core belief, hoping to transform Lhasa's backwardness and find a real path to happiness for the people of Lhasa. Sun Yat-sen is the same as Guanyin Bodhisattva , I have made a great wish to save all sentient beings, and I will never become a Buddha. I came back to Lhasa to save all sentient beings."

"Are those two people on the street your accomplices?" Wangqiu asked.

"It's a comrade." Tashi corrected.

"It's all the same. Assassinating Preston Dele  will definitely be a capital crime, and they will implicate our Delek Mansion."

"The two of them are tight-lipped, and they are not supposed to betray me."

"After entering Langzixia Prison, it was not easy to pry open their mouths. They chopped off their hands, gouged out their eyes, and inserted bamboo sticks. Even if they were made of iron, they were burned and deformed."

Tashi was silent. Lorelei relented and murmured: "I'm afraid their lives are in danger. Master, do you want to save them?"

"Seeing my comrades in jail, how can I sit idly by and do nothing? If we come forward, Rinchen will definitely be mistaken as the mastermind behind it. If we can't save them, we will not talk about it, but we will get burned. By then, Delek Mansion will follow. "Disaster."

"Isn't there a way to get the best of both worlds?"

"Yes. There is someone who can help us." Tashi thought of Tudengrad. He is an official in the police station. Although he does not care about Langzixia Prison, he is still a member of the municipal government and should be easily accommodated. Lorelei accompanied Tashi to Yongdan Mansion. Tudengrad heard their intention and agreed to give it a try.

Langzixia Prison is at the foot of the Potala Palace, and within half the time of burning incense, Tudengrad arrived. The warden was sitting on the card mat, shaking the prayer wheel in his hand and muttering sutras. When he looked up, he saw Tudengela coming in. He quickly greeted him and said enthusiastically: "Oh, oh, second young master Yongdan, why do you have time to come to my place?"

Geler said politely: "I'm chanting sutras."

"Oh, oh, oh, we are doing evil work, but we are willing to do good."

Gullah sat down and looked around.

"Second Young Master, look at this posture, is there something wrong? Just give me your orders." the warden said diligently.

"You're enjoying your stay now. I'll give you some food and wine." Geler said, taking out a banknote and pushing it in front of the warden.

"Ouch, how do you say this? One hundred and fifty silver coins. Do you want me to let him go?"

"Yes, didn't we arrest two people? One is Reece Wang and the other is Luo Dan. You can think of a way and let them go."

"Ouch, Second Young Master, I dare to let others go. These two are the felons who assassinated Rinchen Galun. If I let them go, the Kashag government will find out, and my life will be lost."

"You are courageous, knowledgeable, and shrewd. You love to do good things. There is no reason why you can't do it."

"I don't dare to do this. Ouch, my whole family is trying to live by me. If I die..."

Geler interrupted him; "Don't ouch." He took out another banknote and handed it to him.

When the warden saw another hundred and fifty silver dollars, his face immediately changed: "Oh, oh, oh, that's not what I meant. We are all colleagues and good friends. I'm sorry if I don't help. Please let me think about it." With that said, he quickly put the banknote away. He thought about it for a while and finally whispered to Gullah.

Geler laughed and shouted: "Nice plan, wonderful plan!" The warden sent Geler away and reported to Lord Nima.

Nima didn't dare to delay and went straight to Rinqin Mansion. After listening to Nima's narration, Rinchen Preston Dele  came to Master Tsongkhapa's thangka, burned three sticks of incense, and then turned around and said, "Is it Thubengela who came to save them?"

"It was indeed Tudengrad. He gave three hundred silver coins to the warden." Nima said.

"You really spent a lot of money. Are these two little guys worth so much money?"

Luosang was eager for revenge and said fiercely: "Dad, since Tudenggele came out to act, we will arrest him. After the first trial, we will know who the mastermind behind it is."

Rinchen said with concern: "Tudengela is not Delekalun. Delekalun relied on the trust of the Buddha of Lhasa, acted arbitrarily, and offended many colleagues. Everyone has long been disgusted with him. I am just destroying the dead." Tudenggele was different. He was very popular among the monks and officials in Lhasa. When he heard about this Zhongji Summer Banquet, Master Guocha paid him a lot of money to make it so beautiful. "

"I'm also wondering how Tudengrad and Comrade Xueyu got together?" Nima muttered.

"This kid hid it too deeply and didn't notice it at all." Luosang said.

Rinchen interrupted them and analyzed: "It's impossible. The Comrade Association wants to overthrow our Kashag government, just like Sun Yat-sen overthrew the Qing Dynasty, and they want to carry out the 'Revolution of 1911' in Lhasa. This is what those poor guys did. Tudengrad is a great nobleman. His brain must have been soaked in sheep's urine to participate in this kind of thing. He must have been entrusted by someone, and the person who entrusted him here must be that lama. "

Tudengrad came to Dele Mansion and told Tashi that the warden promised to release him tonight. Ask him to send someone to meet him outside Langzixia. As soon as he comes out, he will pick him up immediately and leave the city overnight. Tashi said gratefully: "Gele, I have been worried that if this matter fails, you will be implicated."

"You mean, I'm afraid of Rinchen?"

"After all, he is the most powerful Kalon in the Kashag."

"Times have changed. Rezhen Living Buddha has become the regent, which has restricted Rinchen's power. I want to use this matter to show Rinchen's color and also establish the status of our Yongden Palace in Lhasa. Brother-in-law, It was you who gave me this opportunity," Gullah said meaningfully.

"I didn't expect you to think so deeply." Tashi looked at him with admiration and said.

"If you are timid and beg for mercy, people will never regard you as a force, your waist will not be straight, and you will never have a voice in the aristocratic circle of Lhasa. By the way, brother-in-law, this money You take it back." After finishing speaking, Guerle handed the two banknotes back to Lorelei.

Tashi was surprised: "What's going on?"

Geler said with a smile: "It doesn't cost that much to send a few little guys away. It only cost three hundred silver coins."

"Three hundred silver coins?...My brother-in-law is more prestigious in the municipal government office." Things went so smoothly that Tashi was not expecting it. He began to formulate a complete rescue plan in his mind. This plan should be careful enough to allow Reece Wang and Luo Dan to escape without revealing his identity.

Late at night, the warden got two guards drunk and walked into the prison cell. He saw Reece Wang and Luo Dan tied up in four wooden shackles, unable to lie down or move. He approached the two people and whispered: "Few people who enter Langzixia can get out intact. You two are lucky, it's good luck." As he spoke, he opened the iron lock on the wooden shackles.

Reece Wang and Luo Dan were confused and at a loss. After the warden opened the wooden shackles, Reece Wang and Luo Dan stood up. Because they had been chained for too long, their lower limbs were numb and they were unable to stand up.

"Stand up... move around... follow me," the warden urged.

Reece Wang and Luo Dan reacted and limped to the door following the warden. The warden warned: "You two, run quickly and go out to the backyard. There is a ladder at the root of the backyard wall. You can climb out from the wall."

Reece Wang and Luo Dan understood and left. They ran to the back wall of Langzixia Prison, found a ladder, and climbed up. Reece Wang stuck his head out from the wall and looked around. The streets were empty except for two policemen on duty patrolling the streets, waiting for them to pass. Reece Wang pulled Luo Dan and jumped off the wall. The two fell to the ground. Reece Wang sprained his foot and screamed in pain. Luo Dan looked around and saw no one to answer him, so he asked, "Where are we going?"

Reece Wang looked up and said, "There is an alley over there." Luo Dan supported him and walked quickly towards the alley.

At this moment, in the room upstairs in Langzixia Prison, Rinqin, Nima, and Luosang looked down from the window. They had been monitoring Reece Wang and Luo Dan on the street. Luosang watched them disappear into the alley and asked puzzledly: "Why is no one coming to pick them up?"

Rinchen said: "Do you think that lama is a fool? It's weird that he wants to come to meet you. Are you waiting to catch him?"

"But those two boys ran away."

"This snow-covered plateau is my Buddha's territory. Where can they go? My judgment is correct. That lama is indeed no ordinary person. We have met our opponent."

The living room of Dele Mansion was so eerily quiet that even the squeaking sound of the gas lamp could be heard clearly. Lorelei stood at the window, looking out; Tashi sat on the mat, looking unhurried; Wangqiu looked at his watch, worried.

Tashi looked at Wangqiu and broke the silence: "Wangqiu, your snuff...bring it to me for a taste."

Wangqiu reluctantly handed the snuff bottle to Tashi. Tashi played with it for a while, poured out the snuff, took a sip, and felt satisfied. He sneezed and said, "Not bad. The inner painting is from the Zhili Prefecture. Where did it get it?"

"It was Master Dele who rewarded the slaves back then. Young master, it's already past the third watch. As agreed, they should have come out. Why hasn't Gangzhu picked up the people yet?" Wangqiu asked uneasily.

"You are the big housekeeper, stay calm."

"Is nothing going to happen?"

"What can happen? Gangzhu went to the sweet tea house to drink tea. I want to know what weird things happened in Lhasa in the past two days."

"He didn't go to Langzixia Prison?"

Lorelei was also a little surprised. He walked away from the window and asked, "You didn't ask Gangzhu to pick someone up?"

Tashi asked knowingly: "Who should I pick up?"

Lorelei was annoyed: "I'm so scared. What's going on?"

Wangqiu quickly helped: "Yes, what are you doing?"

Tashi said calmly: "Master housekeeper, young mistress, think about it. Gele spent 300 silver coins to rescue them both. Isn't it too easy? They are not ordinary horse bandits who cheat and kidnap them. They were the key criminals in Preston Dele 's assassination. Don't you think there was fraud in letting them go so lightly?"

Wangqiu exclaimed, "That's right!" He patted Tashi on the shoulder and said, "You are so smart. How could Langzisha let them go? It must be a trap."

Tashi slapped his hand off and said solemnly: "Be careful, I am the young master and you are the slave. It is not good for the servants to see you."

Wangqiu glared at him fiercely and snatched his snuff bottle.

Reece Wang and Luo Dan ran through several alleys before stopping. They found a large empty alley, where there were only two drunk Kham men lying on the street, with two tall horses tied beside them. The two men approached and prepared to steal the horse. As soon as they grabbed the horse's reins, someone suddenly patted Reece Wang from behind.

Reece Wang was startled and looked back. A man in brown Tibetan clothes looked at them and said, "Reece Wang, Master Dele sent me here, come with me." Reece Wang and Luo Dan were both nervous, but they still followed him into a small alley. . Two men wearing black trousers hiding in another corner appeared and began to follow the three people in front of them.

"Zang Zangzhuang" led them through the dirty courtyard and walked through a broken wall with many twists and turns. "Zang Zangzhuang" said to them: "Tonight is a trap, there is an ambush, follow closely! Let's find a way to leave this place." He led Reece Wang and Luo Dan for a long time, and came to a remote small town. Then he told them: "You should hide in this courtyard first and don't go out. When the wind calms down outside, I will pick you up and take you to Dele Mansion."

When Reece Wang heard about Dele Mansion, he understood and said happily: "Brother, tell Tashi that we didn't say anything inside."

"Zang Zangzhuang" smiled: "Okay, I'll tell the young master." He listened to the noise outside and prepared to leave.

Luo Dan asked: "When will you come again?"

"When it gets daylight, I'll get some food and drink and bring it to you. Remember, you can't go anywhere." After "Zang Zangzhuang" finished speaking, he walked out of the yard. He looked around and saw that there was no one in the alley. Alone, he walked quickly. The two black men appeared again. They identified the courtyard and the direction in which the "Brown Tibetan Suit" was leaving, and ran quickly towards the other end of the alley. On the small building diagonally opposite the yard, the two drunk Khampa people had been watching everything happening in the alley. They watched calmly as the two groups disappeared at the end of the alley.

The morning government affairs meeting is being held in the Kashag Assembly Hall of Jokhang Temple. Rinchen, Nyima, Guo Cha and other senior officials were discussing the escape of Reece Wang and Luo Dan. Everyone was excited and did not understand how these two felons could escape from Langzixia. Now they are assassinating Rinchen Galun, and the next one is uncertain. Who are they assassinating? If they don’t catch them, there will be no peace. The police should be dispatched, the whole city is under martial law, and people should be searched from house to house...

Guo Cha was also very angry. He said: "This matter must be pursued and those who neglect their duties will be severely punished."

Nima was a little out of breath, and the sweat on his head started to fall.

Rinqin Yuanchang said: "You can't blame the municipal government office entirely. Those two people were desperadoes. The warden's head was hit with a big hole and he saved his life. A city-wide search is necessary to catch them as soon as possible. Find out the people who are supporting you outside and find out the mastermind behind them."

At this time, Luosang hurried in and whispered a few words in Rinqin's ear. Rinqin stood up and followed Luosang out of the meeting hall. They went up to the roof of the Jokhang Temple, where the double deer Falun shone in the sun. As Rinchen walked, he said, "I had already expected that the lama was Baxter Qimei."

"That's it, let's settle the old and new accounts together." Luosang said proudly.

"As long as Master Dele comes out to rescue those two people, they will be his accomplices. At that time, even if he has a thousand mouths, it will be difficult for him to choose himself in the Kashag court."

"Dad, what if he just sits back and does nothing like last night?"

"No, three hundred silver dollars were thrown there. He wanted to save it, but it wasn't time to take action yet."

Suddenly, a figure swayed in the corner of the room beside them and disappeared. Rinqin shouted alertly: "Who is it?"

Luosang immediately ran over and saw only the back of a man in black trousers, who hurried downstairs and disappeared. Rinqin also rushed over. He suddenly heard the sound of metal rolling down. A copper prayer cylinder rolled down from the eaves and fell at their feet. Rinqin picked up the prayer wheel and looked around in confusion. He shook it a few times and felt that it was empty, so he opened the prayer wheel and a letter was revealed inside. He opened the letter written on the hidden paper, read it, and handed it to Luosang. Luosang looked happy after reading it.

"You set off immediately, take two trustworthy servants with you, and go back quickly." Rinqin said.

"Dad, don't worry, I'll work hard and bring them back." Luosang vowed.

Reece Wang was lying in the corner of the small courtyard, already weak from hunger. Luo Dan couldn't stand it anymore and wandered around the house. Reece Wang said irritably: "Stop wandering around there. I'm already dizzy. The more you wander around, the more dizzy I get."

Luo Dan cursed and said: "Tashi Lama has become a young master by himself. Now he is probably drinking meat porridge and eating meat buns. He just left us here and ignored us. He didn't come to deliver medicine or come here." Send food."

"Stop scolding me. I'm wondering if something happened to the big brother who sent us here?"

"I can't say for sure. Was he arrested when he went back? That's not possible."

"Who knows. We escaped from prison and we haven't seen any Tibetan soldiers searching for us in the past two days. It's too quiet and abnormal."

"How about I go out and explore Feng'er."

"Forget it, if you show your face, the police will be called."

"Then we can't wait here to die. It's been two days. If Tashi doesn't come, we will starve to death."

"Wait a minute, let's get through today and wait until midnight. If no one comes yet, we will go to Dele Mansion to have a look."

The two of them stayed up until midnight, but the "brown Tibetan suit" still didn't come, so they had no choice but to rush to Dele Mansion. Reece Wang and Luo Dan stopped at a street intersection not far from Dele Mansion, and furtively observed the main entrance. They found that Dele Mansion was very quiet. The two of them felt relieved and approached the door.

Little did they know that there were more than a dozen Tibetan troops ambushing in the courtyard opposite Delek Mansion. The Tibetan soldiers saw Reece Wang and Luo Dan walking towards the gate of Delek Mansion through the crack in the door. The observing Tibetan army reported to the officer: "They are here and have arrived at the gate of Dele Mansion."

The officer issued an order: "Listen to my order. When the two revolutionary parties enter the gate of Delek Mansion, we will surround them and seize both the important people and the stolen goods!" All the Tibetan troops were ready to move and were ready.

Reece Wang and Luo Dan came to the door of Dele Mansion and knocked gently. There was no response from the door. They looked around alertly. Suddenly the door opened and a Tibetan mastiff rushed out. Reece Wang and Luo Dan were so frightened that they ran away. Gangzhu led the Tibetan Mastiff and yelled at them, "How come there are two poor guys knocking on the door in the middle of the night, looking for death!"

The ambushing Tibetan troops stared outside the door. They saw Reece Wang and Luo Dan running into the alley and disappearing in the blink of an eye. The Tibetan soldiers were about to rush out, but the officer stopped them: "Don't move, no one is allowed to move!" He approached the crack of the door to check, and said in confusion: "Run away, just ran away?"

When Reece Wang and Luo Dan ran back to the courtyard in pee, it was already bright. They got into the house and locked the door. Luo Dan couldn't understand and muttered: "He rescued us and let the dogs bite us. What does Lama Tashi mean by this Rakshasa?"

"I also find it strange that Dele Mansion is quite quiet. Alas, isn't the person who led the dog just now the same guy who whipped you?"

"Yes. This enemy from the previous life."

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door outside the hospital. The two men were alert and listening.

"It's not like the police. I'm going to take a look." After Luo Dan finished speaking, he stood up and opened the door. The person who came was "Zang Zangzhuang". When Luo Dan saw him, he felt like he was seeing a relative and shouted: "Brother, do you remember to come? We are both starving to death."

"Zang Zangzhuang" handed him the thing in his hand and said: "On the way back that day, I was targeted by the police who were searching for me. No, I hid outside for two days before I dared to show my face. This is medicine , there is still food, eat quickly."

Reece Wang tore open the paper package and found beef inside. He and Luo Dan devoured it. "Zang Zangzhuang" took out another money bag from his clothes and said, "Take this money with you. Master Dele can't see you now. He asked you to leave the city as soon as darkness falls today and go back to India."

Luo Dan heard this and said gratefully: "Tashi Lama is very generous and has not forgotten our past friendship. Brother, you must send a message of thanks when you go back. When he goes to India, we will wait for him there."

"Our young master is also worried about you. You are about to leave. Are these few words sent back to you not carrying enough weight?"

"Yes, then look..."

"Why don't you write a letter, speak clearly, and leave your address in India. Otherwise, how can the young master find you?"

"That's right. But...there is no paper and pen."

"I have it here." "Zang Zangzhuang" spread the bamboo pen, ink bottle and paper he brought on the ground, and Reece Wang took the paper to write a letter.

"Zang Zangzhuang" asked Luo Dan: "Why do you call my young master Tashi Lama?"

Luo Dan said carelessly: "He is a lama. Of course, he is a nondescript lama. He is elusive. I don't know what he thinks about every day. But he is knowledgeable, which I admire."

Reece Wang finished writing the letter, pressed another fingerprint, and handed it to "Zang Zangzhuang".

There was a loud knock on the door of Rinchen Mansion. The servant opened the door and Lobsang came in with three lamas. He ordered the housekeeper to take the lamas to the sutra hall to rest, and he went straight to the living room. Rinchen was reading scriptures in the living room. Luosang stepped forward and said, "Dad, I have brought the lama from Rezhen Temple."

"I saw it, why are there three people?" Rinqin asked.

"They were studying scriptures in a summer warehouse, and they were familiar with each other for more than ten years. When they heard what I told them about the situation, they felt very angry and wanted to come. I couldn't resist them, so I invited them all. I thought it wouldn't hurt to have one more mouth. "

"How is your character?"

"As honest as a yak, nothing can go wrong."

"That's good. Let them stay in the house without making any noise. Don't go out on the streets for the next few days to avoid attracting people's attention."

"They want to go to the Rezhen Buddha Residence to visit the Living Buddha."

"Just say that I will make arrangements. Living Buddhas cannot be seen just by looking at them."

"knew."

Rinchen felt something was wrong again, so he closed the Buddhist scriptures he was reading, wrapped it in cloth, handed it to Luosang and said, "Take those three volumes of Buddhist scriptures and give them to them."

Luosang looked at it and said reluctantly: "Dad...this Buddhist scripture was given to you by the Buddha of Lhasa."

"This is how you look noble. Go!"

Luosang had no choice but to hold the Buddhist scriptures and leave. Rinqin thought that the escape of Reece Wang and Luo Dan had set a trap for Tashi, and the appearance of these three lamas increased the stakes for victory. At this moment, a vague feeling of intolerance suddenly arose in his heart. The Dele family was an aristocratic family with a heritage of more than 200 years. It just died in front of his eyes. It was also a tragedy for Lhasa.

Two maids from the Yongdan Mansion were standing in the middle of the ground holding a set of uniforms. These were the uniforms for Tudengrad who was promoted from the fifth rank to the fourth rank. Zhuoga, Zhandui and Gele sat on the mat and admired it. Zhuo Ga said happily: "Daiben's uniform is different. Look at the badge and buttons. They are golden. Second husband, this must be made of gold."

"Normally, those errands who cut corners may not be sure. Just take a bite and give it a try." Geler teased her.

"I've killed you and broken my teeth. You have to pay for it." Zhuo Ga said with a smile while beating him.

"I am already a fourth-rank official of the Kashag government. A few gold buttons are nothing."

"Put it on and let me see."

Gel stretched out his arms, and the maids put the uniform on him. Zhandui took the hat and helped him put it on his head. Ge Le was overwhelmed with beauty and said proudly: "How is it?"

Zhan Dui praised: "Second brother, you are so majestic, so majestic! The great hero King Gesar is nothing more than that."

At this time, Pajia came in from the outside. When he saw Gele wearing his new uniform, he said with a smile on his face: "Master Daiben, I caught up. I want to win a jackpot and kowtow to you." After saying that, he knelt down. Kowtow on the ground.

"You're such a naughty boy. If I change my clothes, I'll become a master and call you young master."

"Yes, Master Daiben."

"Tell me, what's going on?"

"Master Nima asked me to inform you that we found the courtyard where Reece Wang and Luo Dan were hiding, and asked you to go there immediately."

"Where?"

"In the southeast corner of the city, there is a dilapidated courtyard where no one lives."

Gele said happily: "On my first day when I was promoted to the police chief, a big case was brought to me. This is the appearance of the Buddha, asking me to show my face. Pakja, don't kneel here either, come on now Go to the barracks and notify the first company to gather the guards. The second company will be in reserve. I will be there soon. "

Pajia agreed and left.

As soon as Pa Jia left, Ge Le immediately changed his face. He frowned and thought.

Zhan Dui stepped forward and asked: "Second brother, why are those two people still in Lhasa? Didn't they come out early? Oh, these two pieces of information are stupid."

Ge Le thought clearly. He turned to Zhan Dui and said, "Brother, go to Dele Mansion immediately and tell your brother-in-law that the police found Reece Wang and Luo Dan's hiding place. I will immediately lead people to search for them and let my brother-in-law rob them." In our heads, move people away."

Zhan Dui agreed, left the living room, and rode straight to Dele Mansion. He jumped off his horse in front of the door of Dele House and ran up to knock on the door. Two Kamba people not far away had been paying attention to this place. They pretended to sharpen their knives on a stone. When they saw Zhan Dui entering Delek Mansion, the two people immediately became alert.

Because he was running too fast, Zhan Dui couldn't care less about being a noble. He breathed heavily, drank tea in big gulps, and then told Tashi what happened.

But Tashi said calmly: "Three days have passed and I finally can't hold my breath anymore."

Zhan Dui didn't understand, so he urged, "Brother-in-law, stop spitting there. If you don't go, my second brother will arrest them. Those two pieces of Sh!t must not have escaped, so wouldn't it be in vain for us to torment them?" "

"Zhan Dui, you are right, we have to rescue them. In this case, you go back first and I will make arrangements."

"Brother-in-law, do you need my help?"

"Don't involve yourself and be passive."

"Okay, I'll go back. If necessary, you can send someone to call me." After Zhan Dui finished speaking, he left.

Tashi ordered: "In the busy autumn season, prepare immediately. Bring more tsampa, butter, silver coins, Tibetan banknotes, and a tent as well."

Wangqiu promised: "I'll do it right away."

"Be quick. Also, bring a telescope." Tashi turned around, saw Lorelei, and said, "You stay at home. Reece Wang and Luo Dan are being chased by the police. If they can't get out of the city, , the two of them have no place to hide, and they will probably come to Delek Mansion again. Lorelei, you have to do two things. First, guard the door with your slaves, and you must not let Reece Wang and Luo Dan enter Delek Mansion, otherwise. , fell into Rinqin’s trap. 2. Tell them, no matter what happens, go to Manitui by the Lhasa River and I will meet them there.”

"How can I tell them if I don't let them in?" Lorelei asked.

"Shout, let's see which slave has a loud voice. Ask him to shout by his neck, and they will hear him." Tashi arranged everything, led a dozen slaves, four or five horses, and went out with tents and other items. Courtyard gate. Gangzhu quickly closed the door and led the Tibetan Mastiff to the door.

Lorelei said to the slaves in the yard: "From now on, no one is allowed to enter the yard, and no one is allowed to leave the yard." Everyone nodded, and the atmosphere in Dele Mansion suddenly became tense.

When two Khampa people saw Tashi leaving with a group of domestic slaves, they ran to report to Rinchen and Luosang. After hearing this, Rinqin smiled proudly and said: "The fox and the hunter are playing tricks on each other, but in the end there is only one end, seeking death!"

Luosang said angrily: "You, the fake Master Dele, are here too!"

There were two Tibetan officers in the living room. After hearing this, they eagerly asked for instructions: "Sir Rinchen, it's our turn to take action."

"Losang, take some domestic slaves with them, guard each intersection, leave a passage for Master Dele, and force him to rescue those two accomplices." Rinchen turned to the Tibetan officer again and said : "Remember, as soon as they contact you, you will arrest them, and everyone will get the stolen goods!"

Reece Wang was lighting a fire in the yard when Luo Dan ran in in a panic. He opened the door and said, "A group of Tibetan soldiers came from the alley entrance..."

Sure enough, there were the sound of horse bells and the sound of running outside. Reece Wang listened carefully and shouted: "No, they are coming for us, run!" The two men turned around and ran towards the back of the house. There was a banging on the door behind them.

As soon as Reece Wang and Luo Dan climbed over the wall, the Tibetan soldiers kicked open the courtyard door and rushed in. A Tibetan officer discovered that the cow dung fire was still burning, so he led the Tibetan soldiers and rushed to the back of the house.

Reece Wang and Luo Dan ran toward the entrance of an alley, and they found that there were Tibetan troops guarding the front. The two people ran towards another intersection. Unexpectedly, there were police patrolling this intersection, so they had no choice but to run in another direction. "Zang Zangzhuang" suddenly caught up with him on horseback. He shouted in a low voice: "Reece Wang, Luo Dan, this way, this way, follow me!"

Reece Wang and Luo Dan followed the "brown Tibetan suit" and ran for a while, then turned into a street corner with two horses tied behind it. "Zang Zangzhuang" said: "Hurry up and get on your horse. I will take you to a small road and rush out of the city." Reece Wang and Luo Dan ran over and got on their horses, and the three of them fled quickly.

Tashi and Wangqiu walked towards Manidui by the Lhasa River with their servants. Tashi pointed forward with his whip and said: "In the peak of autumn, there is a small forest ahead. We will set up camp there. You tell them to put up the tent."

Wangqiu asked in confusion: "Pitch a tent here?"

"Do as I say and they will be here in a minute."

Wangqiu had no choice but to gather servants, light a fire, make tea, and pitch a tent. Tashi looked into the distance and said with great interest: "It's a great day today. The sky is naked and the sun is shining brightly. Butler Wangqiu, please give each of us fifty taels of Tibetan banknotes. Let's have a great time here, regardless of master or servant." , whoever wins gets it.

Wangqiu felt dizzy upon hearing this and asked, "Master, are we here to save people, or are we here to play tricks on Linka?"

"Of course you are playing Linka. Who are you saving? Those two fugitives are not related to me. Why should I save them? It's too late to hide. Have fun, give money, give money."

Wangqiu stood still. Tashi shouted at him: "Did you hear that? I have to kick you!"

Wangqiu had no choice but to take out a wad of hidden banknotes from his pocket and give the money to the servant. The servants were so happy that they gathered here and there and played dice. Tashi looked at Wangqiu, who was frowning, and said, "It's rare for everyone to be happy, so don't frown. Don't ask anything, just wait."

Tashi walked toward the Manidui with a confident look. He looked up at the prayer flags fluttering in the wind on the Manidui. It was really beautiful. Wangqiu came forward and asked, "Tashi, what are you doing with this bad guy?"

Tashi didn't answer, and said to himself: "Master Butler, you are well-informed, help me think about it, under what circumstances will this mani pile fly away like auspicious clouds?"

"I'm telling you something serious, don't talk nonsense."

"I'm also talking about serious things. My guru told me that 1,100 years ago, Master Padmasambhava left me a treasure, but I can't get it until the Mani Dui flies away. . I don’t know when it can fly away? This is a pile of rocks, how can it fly away? "

"Return what Master Padmasambhava left to you eleven hundred years ago? Who are you?"

"I am the famous Tashi Lama, couldn't Master Padmasambhava leave a terma for me?"

"This is a stone. It can fly? Are you possessed by an evil spirit?"

"I'm not saying it can fly, it's the guru's verses that say it."

"Your master is also talking nonsense."

"Master Steward, you are harming my career. You have to be disrespectful to my guru. Don't say that I am rude to you."

"Just stare and tell lies. The terma is under this pile of mani. Why wait for the stone to fly away? Let's move the stone away now to see if there is your terma."

"Yes, how about we try moving."

"Stop teasing me. If those two fugitives are captured again, it will be troublesome. The Dele Mansion will also suffer the same fate as them. Do you want to save them?"

"I want to save. If you want to save, you have to wait. Don't keep pouting at me. Today I want you to see what I, Tashi, can do. Don't always think that calling me Young Master will make you panic."

Rinchen, Nyima and several other monks and lay officials stood on the roof of the Potala Palace. They were observing Tashi by the Lhasa River with telescopes. Looking towards the direction of Lhasa City, they saw "brown Tibetan clothes" leading Reece Wang and Luo Dan to ride towards the river. A mysterious smile appeared on Rinqin's lips.

Nima said flatteringly: "Master Dele and the two revolutionary parties have become turtles in the jar."

Rinqin also felt that he was sure of victory, but he still said: "This fake young master Dele is very cunning! We must not take it lightly until the last moment."

"Brown Tibetan Suit" took Reece Wang and Luo Dan out of Lhasa City, and they breathed a sigh of relief. Across the barren grassland in front of us is the small forest beside the Lhasa River, and the prayer flags can already be seen in the distance. Suddenly, a group of policemen rushed out from behind the slope and came towards them, led by Pa Jia. Reece Wang, Luo Dan and "Zang Zangzhuang" panicked, but it was too late. More than a dozen police officers quickly surrounded them.

The spies following the "brown Tibetan suit" turned around and ran away when they saw this situation. He ran to Luosang and the Tibetan troops who were following him and reported breathlessly: "Master, those two fugitives were caught by the police."

Luosang was very annoyed and asked: "Where did the police come from? Who is the leader?"

"I don't know. There are more than a dozen people."

Luosang scolded: "These idiots! They haven't caught up with Master Dele yet. They were arrested early! Come on, take me to have a look." The spy led the way, and Luosang and others sped away.

Pa Jia was instructing the police to tie up the "brown Tibetan suit", Reece Wang, and Luo Dan. Luo Sang arrived with people. He shouted at Pa Jia: "Who sent you here?"

When Pajia saw Luosang, he hurriedly greeted him: "Oh, it's Master Rinchen."

Luosang said arrogantly: "You know me, save me the trouble of talking, just leave them to me."

"I don't dare. The superiors asked me to ambush you here. After catching these two fugitives, I have to go back and report."

"Why are you so nagging? Which army are you from?"

"Captain of the Second Police Company."

"It was your mayor, Mr. Nima, who asked me to pick up someone."

"Master Rinqin, didn't you kill this villain? You can arrest him if you want. Give me a warrant so that I can go back and deliver the goods."

Luosang ordered the officer beside him: "Give him a warrant." Then he forcibly took away the "Brown Tibetan Suit", Reece Wang, and Luo Dan.

The policemen were timid when they saw that the other party was outnumbered. Pa Jia took the warrant and led his people to withdraw. When Luosang saw the police walking away, he waved his hand and asked his servants to untie the three of them. Reece Wang and Luo Dan knew Luo Sang, but they didn't understand when they saw that he wanted to let them go. Luosang smiled and said, "Why are you staring at me? Our Renqin Mansion is a house of benevolence and righteousness. We repay evil with kindness. If I don't share your common sense, let's go."

Reece Wang refused to leave and shouted at him: "I won't appreciate it if you let me go. I will come back again."

"As long as you have the ability, come again. Get out!"

Reece Wang and Luo Dan took a few steps and saw that Luo Sang really had no intention of chasing them, so they ran away. Tudengrad, who had been ambushing nearby, rushed out with police officers and soldiers, and surrounded Luosang, Reece Wang, Luo Dan, "Zang Zangfu" and others.

Luosang shouted: "Master Yongdan, misunderstanding, misunderstanding."

But Ge Le said with a smile: "We have been searching the streets for revolutionary parties in the past few days, and we have searched all the places in Lhasa where mice can hide. It turns out that these two fugitives are with Master Rinchen."

The officer who came with Luosang came forward and said, "Sir Daiben, we are also following orders."

"Whose order? I never thought that Master Rinchen and the Revolutionary Party are on the same side. As long as you escort him all the way, I can't catch him. Let's go and make it clear to the Kashag government."

Luosang became anxious and acted arrogantly: "Well, Tudengrad, I will settle the score with you when I return to Kashag!"

Geler whipped Luosang in the face and cursed: "I saw with my own eyes that you let the important prisoners of the Kashag go, and you still dare to deny it. Bind me!"

The police swarmed up and pulled Luo Sang off his horse. Luo Sang still resisted, but the police slapped him on the head.

Rinqin in the Potala Palace saw this sudden scene with a telescope, and he was shocked.

Tashi also saw with his telescope that Tudengrad tied up Reece Wang, Luo Dan, Luo Sang and others, and he smiled. Seeing his expression, Wangqiu became even more frightened. He asked, "Master, what did you see? I see you are happy. Let me have a look." He said, reaching for the telescope.

Tashi slapped his hand off and scolded: "Be careful."

Wangqiu was dissatisfied, but he glanced at the servant next to him who was playing dice, waving his arms, and shouting tunes, and said nothing. Tashi moved the telescope towards the Potala Palace. In the telescope, Rinqin was talking to the officials, his face a little irritated.

Nima also saw Tashi through the telescope, and Talarinqin pointed towards Tashi. Rinqin took the telescope and looked towards the Lhasa River.

Seeing Rinqin looking towards him, Tashi laughed deliberately and said: "Wangqiu, Rinqin is looking at us. Take a look, this old devil has exhausted all his traps and is fighting with me."

"What are you happy about? Those two people were taken back." Wangqiu said disdainfully.

"Well done, it saves my two friends from having to worry and worry all day long. This time I arrested Luo Sang as well. I wonder if the three of them will be locked in the same cell and they won't be able to sleep at night. We can catch fleas together." Tashi said, taking the telescope and looking towards the Potala Palace. He was surprised to see Rinqin waving to him. Instead of being depressed, there was a mysterious smile on his face. . Tashi was excited and put down the telescope. He hesitated for a moment, then picked up the telescope and pointed it at the Potala Palace. Rinchen still smiled and waved to Tashi. Rinqin's smile made him feel uneasy. It was not a pretense, but a smile from the heart of a winner. Tashi thought about it and went through everything that had just happened in his mind. He didn't find any loopholes. This plan was formulated by him and Tudengrad together. The mantis stalks the cicada, and the oriole follows behind. They had captured Rinqin's vitals, but for some reason, Tashi felt a vague uneasiness in his heart.
