Chapter 18 Chapter Eighteen

Wang Dan and Luo Dan were working on the construction site of the Great Temple in the western suburbs with torture tools. A lama came over and told them to put down their work and follow him.Wang Dan and Luo Dan looked at each other.Luo Dan asked cautiously: "Grandpa Lama, where are you taking us?" The lama said blankly: "You will know when you arrive, don't ask." Luo Dan didn't dare to ask more questions, he looked at Wang Dan, Wang Dan shook his head at him, and the two followed the lama anxiously. The lama brought them to a monastery. The door of the monastery was beautifully carved with flowers.The lama opened the door and yelled, "Junior brother, I brought you someone."

Baima came out from inside.He looked at Wang Dan and Luo Dan's shackles, and asked tentatively: "Brother, their feet are all festered." The lama understood what he meant, and went to open Wang Dan and Luo Dan's shackles.Wang Dan and Luo Dan were even more puzzled. "Your name is Wang Dan?" Baima asked. "It's long-winded." Wang Dan replied. "Then you are Lordan?" "Laughs." Luo Dan replied. "The two of you will live here from now on." Wang Dan and Luo Dan looked at the carved beams and pillars in front of them, a little at a loss. "You guys recuperate here first, so you don't have to go to work every day. If you have anything to do in the future, tell my brother, he will help you." Baima said again.

Wang Dan said gratefully: "Benefactor, you...what should I call you?" "Don't ask me who I am, and you don't have to thank me, I was also entrusted by others, so go in." Wang Dan and Luo Dan were still dizzy, and followed the lama into the monk's house in a daze. An old lama stood in front of the window on the second floor of the monastery, and he kept watching the people downstairs.Seeing them entering the monk's house, the old lama looked unhappy. After thinking for a while, he turned and left the window. A bright moon hangs in the night sky, and the moonlight shines on the Duojilin Temple. The butter lamps in the monk's room are all extinguished. The monks have already fallen asleep soundly, and the temple is extremely quiet.Baima Duoji was lying on the bed and fast asleep.Suddenly, he was awakened by chaotic footsteps outside the door. Before he could figure out what was going on, the door of the monk's room was pushed open with a bang.A few torches rushed in. It was the Yamen servant of the Kashag, and they rushed straight to Baima Duoji who was on the bed.Baima Duoji didn't expect it, and looked at them in horror.

"Are you Baima Dorji?" asked the yamen servant. "Yes, I am." As soon as the yamen official waved his hand, two yamen servants stepped forward and pulled him out of the bed, and they couldn't help but tie him up.Baima Dorji struggled and shouted, "What are you doing, what are you doing?" The yamen servant slapped him in the face with a big mouth on the head, and said fiercely: "Shut up, go to Kashag and tell the master if you have something to say!" The yamen servants dragged Baima Duoji out.Baima was taken to the prison under the Potala Palace by them, tied to an iron chain on the stone wall, and the servants beat him frantically, Baima screamed, and he was beaten to a bloody mess.The yamen servant picked up his head with a whip and forced him to ask, "Don't tell me?"

"What do you want me to say? I really don't know anything." Baima said weakly. "Are you one of their party?" "What kind of party? I have never left Duojilin Temple since I was a child. I don't know anything except chanting scriptures and serving the master." "Then why did you take care of those two prisoners, who ordered them?" "No one instigated, I am a lama, I am compassionate, I think they are pitiful..." "I'll make you talk harder!" The yamen servant punched Baima Duoji in the chest with his head.Baima Duoji let out a scream, and spat out a mouthful of blood.

Early in the morning, the gate of Dele Mansion was knocked loudly, and the slave ran towards the gate, muttering, "Who is this, playing the gong." Gangzhu also came to the gate after hearing the news, and the slave opened the door, Nazhen appeared at the door. Gang Zhu was surprised, and rushed out to welcome him, he asked: "You...how did you come here?" Nazhen pushed Gangzhu away and rushed in: "I'm looking for the young master." "The young master is not at home." "Don't lie to me, get out of the way." She rushed towards the courtyard.

"Grandma, Ma'am is at home, isn't this going to cause trouble?" Gangzhu pulled her back and said. "I'm in a hurry to find the young master." Na Zhen said anxiously with a pale face, threw away Gangzhu, and went straight to the watchtower.She pushed the door of the living room open, but there was no one there.Gangzhu said: "Look, let me tell you that the young master is not at home. Tell me if you are short of money or use. When the young master comes back, I will report to the young master and send it to you, okay? Auntie ,move." "If I don't see the young master today, I will never leave!"

"Who is this, making a lot of noise?" Nazhen looked back and saw Deji coming out of the side room.She was holding the silver hand mirror in her hand to look left and right, and she was arranging her hair with her hands, not paying attention to Na Zhen at all. "I want to talk to the young master." Nazhen said anxiously. "Who are you?" Deji asked knowingly. "It doesn't matter who I am, please ask Master Jeb to come out, he will tell you." Deji became angry, and scolded: "It's so early in the morning, where is the shrew. Gangzhu, kick me out!"

Gangzhu stretched out his hand to grab Nazhen's clothes and pulled her out.Nazhen suddenly took out a Han knife from her bosom, put it on her neck and said, "He doesn't want to see the dead today, so let him come out to collect the corpse!" Deji was taken aback and glared at her.Gangzhu hurriedly coaxed Nazhen, persuading her, "Auntie, what are you doing? If you don't come within three words, you can use your knife. If you have something to say, you can talk to the young mistress. The young mistress is a bodhisattva..." Nazhen had something on her mind, so she said helplessly: "Young Mistress, it's been twenty years, and I've never bothered you at home. But today, I can't help it... If I don't come to beg Young Master, our son will die."

"What did you say?" Deji asked in surprise. Na Zhen's heart softened, and Gang Zhu took advantage of the situation and took her knife down.Nazhen sobbed, "I have a son with Qimei Jeb, and he is eighteen years old now." When Deji heard this, she was furious, and she shouted: "Where is the son, you are talking nonsense!" Tashi came out from the side room and was very surprised when he saw Nazhen.Nazhen was stubborn, and continued: "You don't have to feel wronged, it's me who really endured the humiliation! The day I gave birth to a son for Mei Jiebu, do you know what he was doing? He was marrying you..."

Deji was furious and rushed to hit Nazhen, but Tashi stepped forward to stop her. When Nazhen saw Tashi, she became courageous, and she said loudly: "When Master Dele was alive, he disliked that I came from a small noble family and came from a humble background. My child. You tell her, Jeb, I told a half-truth." Tashi was noncommittal, so he just nodded blindly.Deji felt that he had been extremely humiliated, and got angry at Tashi, cursing: "Qimei Jiebu, you Rakshasa, you actually raised a son outside, and you kept it from me for eighteen years." Nazhen cried even harder, and said to Tashi: "Master, something happened to Baima Duoji." Hearing this, Tashi was shocked, and asked, "Pema Dorji?" "Last night, he was taken away by Kashag officials at Dojilin Monastery." "why?" "I don't know who instigated this child to get involved with a serious criminal of the Kashag. The officials of the Kashag regarded him as a remnant of the assassination of the Rinchen Kalon and put him in prison. Now he is under the Potala Palace. In the prison. Young master, he is your flesh and blood, you should quickly find a way to rescue the child." Tashi was at a loss for words, and quickly asked, "Nazhen, does Living Buddha Duojilin know about this?" "I would like to ask the Living Buddha Dojilin. He is highly respected in the political and religious circles, and Baima is his attendant. Please ask the Living Buddha to greet Kashag, and Baima will be safe. But the Living Buddha went to retreat in the cave in the back mountain. The deacon's The lama said that during the retreat period of the Living Buddha, no guests can be seen. That's why I came to you." "Nazhen, don't be in a hurry. I won't just sit by and watch this matter. Gangzhu, wait here with Nazhen for a while, and I'll discuss a solution with the young mistress.... Serve tea! Serve dessert, hurry up, don't Slack!" Deji felt that Tashi's attitude was abnormal, and was wondering, Tashi pulled her up and walked outside.Deji was dragged into the yard inexplicably, she threw Tashi away and said angrily: "You are really kind and righteous to her...won't it be just one night?" "Don't hurt me, it must be my fault that Baima was punished by Kashag!" "What's the meaning?" "I entrusted Baima to take care of Wang Dan and Luodan, but I really didn't know that Baima was Nazhen's son. How could I know?" "You know him?" "I live in Duojilin Temple for a few days, and the Living Buddha sent him to take care of me." "How could it be such a coincidence? Was it intentional by the Living Buddha?" "The Living Buddha didn't say anything about the relationship between this child and...Master Dele, let alone that Nazhen is Baima's mother. When I was in the monastery, I felt...that child didn't seem to know who his father was." Deji was confused, she pointed at Tashi and scolded: "Suddenly a child appeared, he was still eighteen years old, this wild woman could not blackmail me. Tell me clearly whether you have this child or not!" " Tashi couldn't laugh or cry, and said helplessly: "Deji, how can you ask me about this? I'm a lama, so I don't have that ability. But no matter what, these things happened so many years ago. I know you are very surprised, and it feels like someone has stuffed a piece of ice in your heart. But, this disaster is caused by me, so I can't just ignore it." "What do you do?" Tashi was speechless, he looked up at the prayer flags on the roof, thinking.It must be Rinchen who put Pema Dorje in jail!How did Rinqin know that Master Dele was Baima Duoji's father?No, he certainly didn't know.In this way, Rinqin was not targeting Delek Mansion.So, is Rinchen guilty of mobilizing so many teachers?Is there another reason.No matter what, I can't come forward directly now, otherwise, not only will I not be able to save this child, but I will also expose my relationship with Wang Dan and Luo Dan.Pema Dorje is innocent, I must rescue him.But how to save it? Tashi thought for a moment, then stretched out his hand to greet the servant: "I'm going out, bring the horse!" "Where are you going?" Dej asked. "Go and find a way. You and Nazhen are waiting for my news at home. Deji, you are so angry that you are hurting yourself. You are a nobleman with status, so you should pay attention to your demeanor." Tashi took the horse brought by the servant and walked out. He turned his head again and said: "Deji, listen to my advice, you must forgive others and forgive others." Nazhen stood in front of the window and kept looking out of the window. Seeing Tashi leave, she turned her face to look at the Buddhist altar not far away, full of emotions.Nazhen didn't want to see Deji domineering, and the woman's intuition told her that Deji's tough attitude would continue.Nazhen made up her mind: leave her alone!For my son, I have endured all kinds of humiliation!This child is so pitiful. Back then, in order to cover up others, Master Dele forcibly took Baima away from me when he was less than three years old, and sent him to Duojilin Monastery to become a monk.Baima grew up with the ancient Buddha of Qingdeng, and never felt the love of my parents. Today, I must do something for my child! Tashi's two attendants led the horses and waited outside the gate of Rezhen Buddha's residence.The door of the Buddha's residence opened, and housekeeper Rezhen sent Tashi out. "Master Dele, go slowly. When the Living Buddha Rezhen comes back, I will tell you that I have visited you." The housekeeper Rezhen said. "I should have come to visit the Living Buddha a long time ago. It's really rude to come here today because I have something to do." Tashi said shyly. The butler Rezhen sent Tashi outside the door. Seeing Tashi's dejected expression, he suddenly said, "Master Dele, what you just said didn't necessarily come to Rezhen Rinpoche. You can find another one." people." "Who else can I ask? Please let me know." Tashi asked in surprise. "I thought about it, you can ask Jiangcun Ziben to help you accommodate." "Jiangcun Ziben?" "It's no big deal for an ignorant child to do something reckless. Jiangcun Zi should be able to help you with this." Tashi half understood what he heard, and left on horseback.When he returned to Dele's Mansion, he was still pondering what Butler Rezhen had said, walking up and down, thinking deeply.Deji said dissatisfiedly: "Dangling in front of my eyes, you made me dizzy." Tashi stopped in his tracks, looked at Deji, and said, "I can't figure it out, what does Steward Rezhen's words mean?" "I don't understand either. Why did you go to Rezhen Rinpoche?" "Duojilin Temple is a subordinate temple of Rezhen Temple. The lamas of Duojilin Temple got into trouble, and it was only natural for Rezhen Rinpoche to help.... Unexpectedly, by coincidence, Rezhen Rinpoche went to Lamcuo to visit the lake. He won't come back within ten days or half a month.... Did we have any friendship with Jiangcun Ziben in the Dele mansion?" "The Jiangcun family can only be regarded as a middle-class nobleman in Lhasa. Because the thirteenth Lhasa Buddha was very respectful to him when he was alive, and he was proficient in the West, so he was awarded the position of Ziben. Our master and him are just colleagues... every year Jiangcun Ziben would come to pay homage to the mansion during the Tibetan New Year, but he had no special dealings with us." "He once tried the lawsuit between Rinchen and me. I still remember it vividly, and I have a deep impression on Jiangcun Ziben. On the surface, he respected Rinchen, but we won the lawsuit. This man has a city, and he is not afraid. powerful." "I heard that Jiangcun Ziben is very powerful now, but he is cautious in his affairs and does not show his teeth and claws like Rinchen. After the death of our master, Jiangcun Ziben will be able to compete with Rinchen Kalon in official circles in Lhasa." Tashi was alert, and he asked, "Where did you hear these words?" "Everyone says that behind their backs. I don't know if it's true. You can ask Tudengrad." "I understand. Steward Rezhen is familiar with the relationship between various people in Lhasa. He knows that I can't ask Rinchen, so I will ask Rinchen's political opponents... Yes, that's what he meant. Deji, we are going to visit Ziben, Jiangcun, and we will go now, and you should prepare more gifts to show our sincerity." Deji looked at him strangely and didn't move. "Young lady, don't sit still. You will die or be disabled in the prison below the Potala Palace. This is an urgent matter, so hurry up." Deji stood up from the mat and glanced at Zha Xi glanced at him and left without paying attention.Seeing this, Tashi stepped forward and grabbed her and asked, "Why are you going? If you don't save the child, he will die." "Who is he? Are you so caring?" Deji said, throwing away Tashi and heading for the door. Tashi became anxious and stopped drinking: "Deji, stop!" Under the pressure of Tashi, Deji stood there stubbornly. Tashi stepped forward, grabbed Deji's shoulders, looked at her closely and said, "Didn't you worry about trying to find a solution with me just now? Now that you have a solution, why did you suddenly turn your face?" "He's a bastard! Why should I save him?" "The wild species is also the species of your Dele family!" "You're deliberately... taking him to embarrass me!" "I know you're upset, but he's your husband after all... and Jeb's child. Whether you hate him or hate him, that's between you and Jeb, and this It doesn't matter to the child." Deji stubbornly ignored Tashi. Zhaxi persuaded again: "So far, this child is the only one who can continue the Dele family! For the sake of Master Dele's entrustment and for the reproduction of the Dele family, you have to rescue him too!" "According to what you mean, I still have to welcome him in, can't I be the master?" Deji said contemptuously. "That depends on whether he is willing or not. It may not be possible." Deji turned his face, knocked off Tashi's hand, and wanted to leave again.Tashi became angry, grabbed her and asked loudly, "Are you really desperate?" "No help!" Tashi said in a mocking tone: "I know why you didn't save him. You are afraid that if the child gets out of prison and really enters the house, Dele Mansion will have an heir who will become a family member..." Deji interrupted him and said, "I'm still afraid that he won't take my family business?" "You are not afraid! But I have no reason to stay, this fake Jeb. The day Baima comes home is the day I leave." Deji was shocked and said angrily: "You...you are passionate!" "You don't have to be stubborn... I'm right, you're flustered, right?" Deji was exposed, and tears welled up in her eyes. She pushed Tashi: "Let me go." Tashi didn't let go, looking at her with complicated emotions. Deji burst into tears. She beat Tashi and said, "I hate you. Why do you yell at me? No one in this yard has ever dared to do this to me...Why do you..." Tashi hugged her in his arms, Deji struggled a few times, and then fell silent. Lying in Tashi's arms, Deji sobbed, "You Rakshasa, why do you bully me...why do you bully me..." Tashi was speechless and hugged her silently. Deji prepared the gift, and Tashi hurried to Jiangcun Mansion.The servant of Jiangcun's family led him into the living room, and Jiangcun got up to greet him. He said enthusiastically, "Master Dele, you are really a rare visitor, a rare visitor." "I'm bothering Master Jiangcun." Tashi said politely. After the two sat down, Tashi presented the gift list.Jiang Cun took the list, glanced at it, and said in surprise: "You don't get rewarded for nothing. I'm at a loss for your sudden visit and such a heavy gift." He pushed the gift list back. "Master Jiangcun, if you don't accept me, I won't be able to open my mouth." "Okay, please tell me." Jiangcun said as he put the list of gifts on the coffee table. Tashi was a bit embarrassed, but he still said: "Last night Kashag went to Duojilin Temple to arrest a child..." Jiangcun was taken aback, looked at Tashi suspiciously, and said, "It's true, it's a little lama named Baima." "My lord, this little lama... is my son." Tashi said hesitantly. Jiangcun was surprised, so he couldn't help laughing. He said, "If you hadn't told me yourself, I would rather believe that the stone mill in the yard could talk than believe it was true...he is an illegitimate child, right?" "...For fear that Deji would know, he has been fostered in the monastery." Jiangcun stood up suddenly and laughed. Tashi was taken aback by his smile, and asked, "Master Jiangcun, what are you..." "There is a grievance, and a debtor. Master Dele, since this child was arrested, I have been restless. Do you know why?... Rinchen arrested this child for me." "Why did he turn on you?" "Rinqin wanted to take advantage of the situation and use this little lama to connect me with those two revolutionary parties!" "Master Jiangcun, I don't understand this even more. It's true that Wang Dan and Luo Dan are revolutionaries, but you have nothing to do with them, sir?" "Do you really not know, or are you pretending to be confused?" "My lord blames it, and my family suffered a series of misfortunes, which made me burnt out. I really don't care about it, and I don't know much about it." "When Lhasa Buddha sent me to Europe, I visited England and France. I was dumbfounded by the industrial revolution there. Only when I stood on the other side of the ocean did I understand how ignorant and closed our plateau is. People are already trains, Cars are running on the ground, while airplanes and airships are floating in the sky. As for us, there is not a kilometer of modern roads in the whole of Lhasa, and there is not a car with wheels. I feel sad for the backwardness of Lhasa..." Tashi listened with relish. "I am a reformer, and the revolutionary party is also a reformer, so we naturally became accomplices. This is the logic of Rinchen and the others." Jiangcun observed Tashi and said. "This time I understand." "Rinchen ordered someone to torture this child. He gritted his teeth and didn't reveal the slightest relationship with you. He only said that it was out of the goodness of the Buddhist school and he pity the two prisoners. This little guy is really amazing! But such a If you come here, Rinchen thinks that I ordered it. If you don’t come today, I’m really at a loss. I’ve been wronged, but I don’t know who to turn to to complain.” Tashi stood up and said apologetically, "This child is a little stubborn by nature. I am really sorry that you have to bear it for others. My lord, tomorrow I will go to the Jokhang Temple to clarify this matter with the officials of the Kaxag. I will bear all the responsibilities... " "Sit! Master Dele, with your words, I will treat you as a friend. Let me handle this matter. Once you come forward, things will become more complicated. If you make trouble, it will become We are in collusion. Haha... Now it is indeed collusion." Tashi felt restless and didn't know what to say. "It was Rinchen who forced the two of us together. I can't do anything about Baima Duoji." Tashi was relieved, he said: "It's all up to the adults to arrange." Rinchen went to the prison under the Potala Palace before attending the regular meeting of the Kashag early court. When he learned that Pema refused to confess, he was very annoyed.But he still told the warden to keep him alive for later use.The warden reported that Jiangcun Ziben had visited Pema Dorji yesterday, and Rinchen thought about it. Jiangcun Ziben was sitting in the Kaxag Council Hall at this time. Xia Jia, a fifth-rank official, was a vigorous and vigorous man in his thirties.He looked around but couldn't see Rinqen, so he leaned into Jiangcun's ear and whispered, "Rinqin must have gone to prison again." Jiangcun listened quietly, blew on the foam of buttered tea, and drank it. Xia Jia also said: "The little lama is from the Duojilin Monastery. He supports the revolutionary party, so he should be disciplined by the Duojilin Monastery. This is the usual practice. The Kaxag came forward to arrest people, which broke the rules! My lord, they may have some bad ideas." " Jiangcun glanced at the officials around him and said, "Be careful, the Rinchen Kalon has ears all over his body." At this time, Rinchen came in from the outside, shouting and hugging, and the meeting hall immediately fell silent.After looking around at the officials, Rinchen said, "Why didn't I talk when I came in? It's strange!" Jiangcun stood up and said, "Everyone is talking about that little lama." Rinchen was surprised. He walked to his seat and sat down before asking, "What's the result of the discussion?" "The little lama grew up in the monastery since he was a child, and has been serving as an attendant beside the living Buddha Duojilin. I don't know how he got acquainted with the revolutionary party..." "Jiangcun Ziben, how do you know him so well?" "This child has disturbed people in Kashag, and rumors have spread in Lhasa. I am the chief investigator of the case of the Revolutionary Party, so I am naturally very concerned about this matter." "Then who do you think ordered him to take care of those two damn felons?" "Who instigated it remains to be ascertained, but I heard a rumor that the person behind the little lama...is me! Rinchen Kalon, do you believe it?" Rinchen was taken aback, knowing that Jiangcun was irritating him, he took a sip of buttered tea, and then said: "This little lama is a remnant of the Revolutionary Party, there is no doubt about it! As for who is the big man behind him, it is true." What’s fake can’t be fake, and what’s fake can’t be true.” Jiangcun said nothing more, but his expression was a little aggrieved.All the officials looked at each other in blank dismay, not daring to speak, but Xia Jia looked displeased.Tudenggrad casually sniffed snuff, his gaze swept over everyone, observing the elusive faces of the two factions. Seeing that everyone was silent, Rinchen said with a victorious attitude: "The resurgence of the revolutionary party is not a trivial matter! What they want to overthrow is the great political and religious cause of our Xueyu Buddha Kingdom. Thinking about it this way, this small The lama is not so simple, he is an extremely dangerous element." Xia Jia couldn't bear it, stood up and said, "Rinchen Kalon, I don't think this little boy is as evil as you said. He is a lama, and he did such a thing without knowing the depth of it, and it was only out of kindness..." Rinqin slammed the teacup on the table with a bang, and the scene fell silent immediately.Although Xia Jia was not convinced, he didn't dare to speak out. After the morning regular meeting was over, Jiangcun Ziben and several officials came out of the Buddha Hall. Xia Jia said indignantly: "Rinqin is too crazy, he doesn't take us seriously, and it is obvious that he is going to fight in the snow-covered plateau. Dominate the king!" "Forget it, if he wants to be a tiger or a lion in the forest, let him be," Jiangcun said. "Haven't we become lambs to be slaughtered?" "No one is willing to be slaughtered, let alone be deprived of the right to speak. Now monks and lay officials are afraid to speak in front of the Rinchen Kalon. Is this because they fear him, fear him, or loathe him? I think everyone's Everyone should have a steelyard in their hearts.” "That's right, let Rinqin take his arrogance to the extreme, like a stupid yak driving himself to the top of a snow mountain, we want to see how he gets down!" Xia Jia said suddenly. Jiangcun looked at the officials around him with satisfaction, and said, "Let him show strength and we show weakness. This is a strategy. Let's leave." Everyone dispersed and walked towards their horses. When Jiangcun saw Tudenggrad walking this way, he asked with a smile, "Master Daiben, why didn't you say a word just now? You were also afraid that you might offend Rinchen." "Master Jiangcun, how can a child make you and the Rinchen Kalon quarrel with each other? Overtly and secretly... Besides, I don't know the ins and outs, so it's really inconvenient to intervene." Gele said. "Do you really not know, or are you pretending to be confused?" "What does that mean, my lord?" "Whose child is the little lama, you really don't know?" "No one mentioned it to me. I only know that he is an attendant of Living Buddha Duojilin." "Since you really don't know, I can tell you that his mother is a layman named Nazhen who lives in a nun temple in the northern suburbs. I don't need to say who the father of the child should be. You can go to Ask, I think, there is no harm." After Jiangcun finished speaking, he walked away.Geler stood there, dazed. Deji sat on the card mat in the living room, shaking the prayer wheel in his hand, and chanting sutras in his mouth.Nazhen sat on the other end of the mat, shedding tears all the time, but didn't say anything.In fact, Deji had been paying attention to Nazhen all the time. She winked at the maid, who understood, and brought a handkerchief to Nazhen.Nazhen picked up the handkerchief, and finally couldn't help it, and cried.Deji got up and left with an unhappy face. When she came to the courtyard, she saw the servants doing their own work. Deji glanced outside the empty courtyard gate, but there was no sign of Tashi, and she felt anxious.Suddenly, she saw servants walking on the roof, thought for a while, then turned and went to the roof. In fact, Tashi came back a long time ago. He was lying on the roof with his eyes closed and frowning.Deji walked up to him, looked down at him, thinking he was asleep, she looked up at the Potala Palace in the distance, and sighed softly. Tashi closed his eyes, and suddenly said: "When two tigers fight, Baima becomes the piece of meat in the tiger's mouth. Even if it is not eaten into their stomachs, they will be torn to pieces." Deji glanced back at him and asked, "Master, are you worried that Mr. Jiangcun can't come up with a solution?" "Master Jiangcun is willing to help us, but Rinchen may not agree. I'm afraid it will be nothing in the end!" "Rinchen is our deadly enemy. If he knows that this child is from the Dele Mansion, he will be so happy that he will pass his anger." Tashi suddenly sat up and said, "Deji, maybe you have to spend a little more, maybe a thousand dollars." "So much? Are you really going to bribe Rinchen?" Deji asked in surprise. "Or, forget it." "I'd like to be a kind Tara once. But I'm worried that you didn't pick up cow dung when you went up the mountain, but threw away the basket of dung. Rinchen wanted to put us to death last time, but it's a pity he didn't take you with the revolutionaries. The relationship with you has been confirmed, and now you send it to your door, isn't this a self-inflicted trap?" "For that child, I can only take one risk." "Is it worth it to trade you for that brat?" "Saving someone's life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. I will go to Rinchen to talk softly, and I will kowtow to him. As long as he agrees to release Baima, my humiliation is nothing." "That's your wishful thinking! Rinchen is staring at you with blood-red eyes, waiting for you like a wolf. He is not staring at you Tashi alone, but the entire Dele Mansion." "Deji, no stupid hunter will deal with two beasts at the same time. Now, Rinchen's most powerful political opponent is Jiangcun Ziben, and the arrest of Baima is aimed at him. There is no need for him to provoke us. Now, Baima is pleading not guilty in prison, and Rinchen is riding a tiger." "It makes sense. Tashi, how sure are you?" Tashi was stopped by the question, and he didn't speak.At this time, Tudengele's voice came from the yard: "Is the young master at home?" Tashi looked into the yard, and he saw Gangzhu was replying: "Young master and young mistress are upstairs, Second young master, please. " Tashi had an idea, he smiled, and said to Deji: "God is helping me! Deji, I am 100% sure. Let's go!... I will save all sentient beings, and you will pay for it." After finishing speaking, he went upstairs go down. When Rinchen learned that Tudenggrad and Qimei Jiebu were coming to visit, he was surprised, but he asked the housekeeper to bring them in.When he heard with his own ears that Baima Duoji was the illegitimate son of Qimei Jiebu, he laughed even more, and said: "Master Dele, I only heard that you played a good hand of cards before, but I didn't expect that you are still a romantic child." .” Tashi looked embarrassed, and said embarrassingly, "Master Kalun made a joke." "But what is your purpose in telling me these old affairs?" "Master, Baima is just a child. He doesn't know how deep he is. He only took care of the two felons out of compassion. He really has no other plans." "Is it really that simple?" "indeed so." "It seems that the officials handling the case in Kashag made things complicated...why didn't I think of that. Master Dele, how did this matter get involved with you again? It seems that you father and son have a problem with the Revolutionary Party Destiny. Hahaha..." Gele got up and said, "Master Kalon, the case of the Revolutionary Party has already been settled, so let's stop entanglement." "The past is over, it's just a joke." Rinqin suddenly asked seriously: "You come today, what can I do for you?" Gele saw that he was pretending to be confused, so he had no choice but to reveal the truth: "Master Kalun, there are rumors outside, I don't know if you heard it." "I heard that it was my idea to arrest this little lama. It is not easy to be a Kalon in Lhasa. The tree attracts wind, and all good and bad things are posted on you. Endless spirit." "Master, arresting people may not be your idea, but letting them go, you can solve the problem with one sentence." "Will my words work?" "Of course it works." "Well, why would I not do this kind of favor. Steward, you go to the Potala Palace to say hello, and tell me that the little lama is the son of Master Dele's concubine. It has nothing to do with the Revolutionary Party, so let it go if you can.” When Tashi heard this, the stone in his heart fell to the ground. He stood up and said, "Thank you, Master Kalon." "Rinchen Kalon, we are eager to save people, so we are leaving today," Gele said. "Then I won't keep you guys. Daimoto-sama, let's talk again when we have time, but you won't embarrass me again, will you?" Gele blushed, and hurriedly said: "Master Karon, I must come to the door some other day and thank you." "Losang, send the two young masters off for me." Rinqin said. Luosang sent Tashi and Gele away, and when he returned to the living room, Rinchen was sitting on the mat smoking a cigarette with a sad expression on his face.Luosang said dissatisfiedly, "Dad, how did this kid become Qimei Jeb's son?" Rinchen looked at his son with stern eyes, and he asked, "Do you think there is fraud in it?" "It's also a coincidence." "Luosang, I was in a cold sweat just now, thank you Buddha for your secret help. The two of them came at the right time. If we were a little later, we might be in trouble." "Dad, you mean... Tudenggrad will join forces with Jiangcun?" "I thought that the person behind this little lama must be Jiangcun, but now it seems that my judgment was wrong. I didn't find Qicun when I hit the snake, but it shocked it. Jiangcun is using this incident to compete with me. , They spread rumors everywhere, saying that I am too powerful, and that the three Kalons were suppressed by me everywhere, saying that I am ambitious and arbitrary. At this time, Tudenggrad cannot be pushed to the side of Jiangcun." "I understand Dad's painstaking efforts. We can't make enemies on all sides." "You've matured." "Although the Dele family is no longer our opponent, we still have to be vigilant against this young master." "If we want to maintain our position in Lhasa permanently, these people are our threats, but we must cut them off one by one!" A day later, news came from Kashag that Dele Mansion could take Baima home.Nazhen, Tashi, and Gele rushed to the prison below the Potala Palace. Gangzhu and his slaves carried Baima Duoji out with a door panel. Baima was beaten and bruised and unconscious.When Nazhen saw her son on the door panel, she was about to rush towards her, but was grabbed by Tashi, and they wanted to listen to the official's announcement of the Kaxag government's order. The officials of the Kashag stood in front of them and solemnly proclaimed the scriptures: "To all the living beings living under the sun, especially the masters, stewards, and servants of the Dele family. The son born in Buwaishi, because he was young and ignorant, violated the Kashag’s prohibition, and was punished to a certain extent. Now he is taken back by the Dele’s family and disciplined. He is not allowed to go out without permission. Here is a proclamation.” Nazhen rushed to Baima's side, crying out of distress.Tashi stepped forward to pull her, and said in a low voice, "Let's go home quickly." Nazhen stopped crying, she couldn't help herself, and turned around and leaned into Tashi's arms.Tashi was very awkward and couldn't refuse her in public, so he could only comfort her and said: "The child has been rescued, so don't be sad. Whether it's a blessing or a disaster, you have to bear it." Zhu said, "Don't delay here, hurry back to your residence." Gangzhu agreed, and took Baima away with his slaves.Tudenggrad had already got on his horse, and he also left the foot of the Potala Palace.娜珍满脸泪痕孤单地落在后面，她望着走远的扎西等人，心中暗自发狠，脸变得刚毅起来。 扎西带着家奴把白玛抬进了院子。德吉从主楼里出来，她心情复杂地看着白玛，目光碰到扎西，她脸色一沉。扎西上前，故作轻松地说：“孩子终于接出来了。” 德吉一把将他拉到一边，不快地问：“你怎么把他抬到府上来啦？” “不抬到府上，抬哪儿去啊？这孩子在里面罪没少遭，不调养，小身子骨就毁了。” “你是成心给我添堵！” “你不是慈祥度母吗，度人就度到底，那才是真慈悲！” 德吉瞪了他一眼，不快地把头扭到了一边。 扎西凑过去，哄她说：“这孩子的命是你给的，德吉，你真是积了大德，将来必有福报。” “什么福报？你摆上香炉，放两酥油灯，把我挂墙上供起来得了。” 扎西挨了损，不言语了，站在那里傻笑。 德吉来到白玛身边，看了看说：“打成这样儿，他们真下得了手。”她又冲女仆吆喝：“上房那边收拾好了吗？” 女仆跑上前来答话：“收拾好了，少奶奶。” “带他上去吧，好生侍候。” 女仆答应着，引着他们朝主楼走去，娜珍一边抹着眼泪，一边也跟着一起进了主楼。 扎西来到德吉身后，悄声地说：“我就知道你的心像酥油花一样软。” “野孩子、野女人我都安顿下来了，这回堵住你的嘴了吧？” “贵族就是贵族，有风范。” 德吉回头冲着他吐了一口：“呸！还轮不到你恶心我！”她转身走了。 白玛多吉被抬到了上房里，他躺在床上昏睡着。娜珍解开他的衣服，看到白玛身上青一块、紫一块，肩膀上的伤口已经化了脓。她面带泪痕，心痛不已，伏下身去用嘴吸出一口口的血水。德吉出现在门口，她望着娜珍的背影，心情复杂。 娜珍把白玛的伤口清理干净后，她抓过儿子的手，痛心地说：“阿妈对不起你，这些年，我不能像别人的阿妈那样守着你、护着你。可阿妈的心从来没离开过你……”说着，她从怀里掏出一个小小的锦囊，锦囊里是一撮幼童的毛发，娜珍又伤感地说：“这是你三岁那年，活佛给你剃度的时候，阿妈偷偷留下来的，一直藏在贴身的地方。我想你的时候，就看看它，仿佛你又出现在阿妈面前……” 白玛依然像是昏睡，但他眼角渐渐地渗出泪珠。 娜珍继续说着：“并不是阿妈心狠，也不是阿妈养不活你，从小就把你扔到了寺院。而是你的身份特殊，我为了你阿爸，必须隐瞒你的身世，这样才能不使德勒家族蒙羞，你阿爸才不会遭人耻笑……我这是在说什么呢，白玛，你不会记恨你阿爸吧？他也是疼你的，虽然你不知道他是谁，可他每年都到寺里给你送布施，他一直都挂记着你，这回把你从大牢里救出来的，也是你阿爸。白玛，你要体谅他，体谅你阿爸的难处。” 娜珍的话，德吉听得清清楚楚，她很感动，也很难过，想了想，转身离开了。她沿着走廊走去，边走边吩咐身边的女仆说：“给白玛做些肉粥，多放些人参果、葡萄干，再加些红糖……还有，去八廓街的店铺上取一些饼干和罐头……要双份。以后娜珍和白玛的伙食跟我们一样，别让他们娘俩觉得德勒府外眼看待他们。”女仆答应着，去办了。 娜珍听到走廊里的人都走了，脸上露出狡黠的笑容，她心中暗自发狠，为了我儿子，今后我什么都豁得出去！她起身把门关上，又回到白玛身边，望着桌上的药罐，一把抓过来，摔在地上。 白玛被惊醒，他看见娜珍坐在自己身边，不知发生了什么。娜珍马上又装出一副笑脸，关心地问：“白玛，你醒了。没事儿，阿妈不小心碰碎了药罐。” 白玛筋疲力尽地又闭上了眼睛。
