The rise of the poor

Chapter 2005 Better to Miss It than Let It Go

"Amitabha, thank you, sir. I won't need tea. I have already said that I came here uninvited to establish a relationship with you. I will not drink tea, eat food, or take a penny. I will recite a sutra and give you the rosary that has been blessed by my master. Then I will continue on my journey, traveling around the world and honing my Buddhist nature and Dharma."

The fat monk rejected Zhu Ping'an's kindness with a smile on his face and emphasized again that he came to establish a relationship.

Haha, I need to make some good Biluochun tea. Judging from the change in the target’s attitude, I have gained his trust, so this trip is a sure success.

The target, Zhu Ping'an, was the governor of Zhejiang Province in the Ming Dynasty. The province had a vast territory and a population of one million, making him more powerful than the ruler of Japan. Killing such an important figure would also set a new record in his ninja career.

Great, I can't wait to pierce your heart.

"No, no, how can this be allowed? The master is too polite. If this gets out, it will make me look mean and unkind. I didn't even offer a cup of tea to the monk. If outsiders knew about this, wouldn't it make people laugh? How can I, the governor of Zhejiang, stand in front of my colleagues?"

Zhu Ping'an waved his hands repeatedly and even spoke with some displeasure.

Then he said to Qin'er without further ado, "The master is the abbot's senior disciple and should not be neglected. Qin'er, please invite the master to my study, serve some good tea, and ask the master to wait for a moment in the study. I will take a bath and burn incense, and wait for the wet nurse to feed my son and daughter. Then I will take them to the study to listen to the master's Buddhist teachings, and establish this good relationship with the master, and create a beautiful story."

"Amitabha, I cannot refuse your kindness, sir. I will follow your arrangements." When the fat monk heard that Zhu Ping'an attached so much importance to the matter and wanted to take a bath, burn incense, and then take the child to the study to listen to Buddhist teachings and establish a connection with them, he thought that everything was going in a direction that would be beneficial to him. He did not want to create unnecessary trouble and ruin this good situation, so he folded his hands and agreed.

He had already made up his mind. After Zhu Ping'an took the baby to the study, he would get close to Zhu Ping'an under the pretext of chanting sutras for blessing, and then use the dagger coated with poison that he carried with him to pierce his heart, sending him to the west. Then he would take the baby as a hostage, making the other people in the mansion afraid to act rashly. As long as they moved to the yard, he would cast smoke and use a sleight of hand to hide their figures, and take the opportunity to slip away.

Li Bai, an ancient poet of the Ming Dynasty, once wrote in his poem: "Kill one person every ten steps, and leave no trace in a thousand miles. When the work is done, leave with a brush of clothes, hiding your body and name."

Isn't this tailor-made for me?!

Haha, I'm the best ninja in Japan! After successfully assassinating the target, I will be the undisputed number one ninja when I return.

"Master, please come this way." Qin'er responded, bowed, and led the fat monk to the study.

"Thank you for your help, benefactor."

The fat monk had already figured out a plan to kill people and escape in his mind. He laughed and was led to the study by Qin'er.

After the fat monk left, Zhu Ping'an was about to speak when he heard the wealthy Mr. Li turn his head and ask, "Is there something wrong with this fat monk?"

"Ah? Lord Taishan also noticed that something was wrong with him?" Zhu Ping'an couldn't help but be stunned. He had seen it based on his luck. If it weren't for his luck's reminder, he really wouldn't be able to see through the fat monk's true face.

Being able to see fortune means that I have turned on my radar.

Unexpectedly, my father-in-law, who doesn't have any cheats, could actually see it. It turns out that experience brings wisdom.

"I didn't notice anything wrong with him, but I noticed something wrong with you." Rich man Li said calmly.

what?
Zhu Ping'an was shaken. Unexpectedly, he realized that something was wrong with himself instead of the fat monk.

"Your words and actions today are very abnormal, very different from usual. If you really want him to chant for blessings, you can just take my good grandson out of the bedroom. Why bother to take him to the study?"

"Besides, you know how much Shu'er cherishes these two little ones. She hates not allowing anyone to enter or leave the room, for fear that the house will get cold. How could she agree to let you carry the two little ones through the hall and courtyard to the study to listen to him chanting scriptures?" Rich man Li turned around and looked at Zhu Ping'an, and said slowly.

Zhu Ping'an was immediately impressed. He thought that Jiang was really an experienced man. He was indeed a wealthy businessman. He had a good eye for seeing the big picture from the details.

"Is there something wrong with this fat monk?"

"What's wrong with him? Why didn't we see it?"

The two brothers-in-law scratched their heads in confusion.

"Firstly, it is very rare to find an enlightened monk who is not tainted by money. If he really has no distractions, why would he come to seek for fate?! Secondly, he lied. Who in this world can see luck? It is unheard of. Luck is mysterious. If he could see luck, he would have been famous long ago. Why is he unknown?! Third, and most importantly, there was murderous intent in the look he gave me." Zhu Ping'an said slowly, working back from the answer, and found three reasons.

There will never be another person in this world who can see good fortune except me, Zhu Ping'an.

"He looked at you with murderous intent? Why didn't we notice it?" The two brothers-in-law scratched their heads in confusion and asked Mr. Li for confirmation, "Dad, did you notice the murderous intent in the monk's eyes?"

"Although I didn't see any murderous intent in his eyes, I felt that there was something wrong with him."

Mr. Li, the rich man, stammered.

"What's wrong?" the two brothers-in-law asked.

"Feeling, feeling, an indescribable feeling. Are you satisfied now?!" Rich man Li spit in the two men's faces.

"If you didn't see it, then you didn't see it." The two brothers-in-law shrank their necks and looked at Zhu Ping'an, "What if you made a mistake?"

"If it's wrong, it's wrong. No one is perfect. What's wrong with making a mistake? In this kind of thing, it's better to make a mistake than to let it go. Just catch him first." Rich man Li interrupted without hesitation.

Although he disliked Zhu Ping'an in many ways, his beloved baby loved Zhu Ping'an very much. If anything happened to Zhu Ping'an, his beloved baby would be heartbroken. Besides, if this fat monk was really a killer, not only Zhu Ping'an would be in danger, but also his two precious grandchildren. This fat monk had to chant sutras to bless his grandchildren, and Shu'er would also be in danger.

This risk must not be taken!
It’s better to make a mistake than to let it go!
"Master Taishan is absolutely right. I will give the order right away to surround the study, arrest him, search him, and interrogate him. If I am wrong, I will apologize to him and compensate him for the shock he received today. However, I believe in my eyes and I will not be wrong. There is definitely something wrong with this fat monk."

Zhu Ping'an went on, with a confident look on his face, saying that he had a cheat, so how could he be wrong.

"Isn't he a conceited monk? It is said that Maitreya Buddha has a big belly and can tolerate things that are difficult to tolerate in the world. If he is really wrong, I believe the monk will definitely understand." Rich Man Li chuckled and said disapprovingly.
