Huang Rongrong cried, and Zhao Yanxun tried his best to comfort her, but Xu Hong and his men became busy.
Standing on the steps, Xu Hong said to Wang Zong beside him: "Brother Wang, thank you for your help!"
In order to find out the truth and find the murderer as soon as possible, Xu Hong needs enough manpower.
In addition to the people under his own command, Xu Hong also asked Wang Zong to send people to assist.
Wang Zong was an honest man, and when Xu Hong came to him, he immediately agreed to help.
At this moment, all the guards who had been mobilized appeared in the dam at the foot of the steps, making the monks who were sweeping the floor watch the excitement.
After thanking Wang Zong, Xu Hong walked to the front, and the guards who were chatting below gradually became quiet.
"Brothers, one of our brothers was killed by an assassin last night..."
"And the murderer also chopped off his head!"
Hearing this, the guards below were in an uproar, and anger burned in their hearts.
We are all guards of the palace, and came to Yuanyang for the same purpose (to protect King Yong). Today the assassin dares to kill the guards, and tomorrow such disaster may happen to them. How can we not let the guards share the same hatred?
"This case must be investigated strictly, and the blood of our brothers cannot be shed in vain..."
At this point, Xu Hong's expression became more serious, and he held up his hands and said: "With the trust of the prince, this case is now handed over to my official for strict investigation. Next... I want you to block the road down the mountain and search the inside and outside of Wolong Temple!"
"If the assassin is still hiding in the mountain, we must find him out!"
Xu Hong gave a speech and quickly distributed the matters. It can be said that he was thorough in everything.
In fact, if Zhao Yanxun really wanted to do this kind of thing, he might not be able to do it better than Xu Hong. He had no experience in commanding more than a hundred people at the same time.
Everyone went to work, leaving only Xu Hong and Wang Zong.
"Brother Xu, aren't you afraid of going out of your way to find someone like this?"
Hearing Wang Zong's words, Xu Hong replied: "The snake is already frightened!"
"Since we were alerted, didn't the assassin escape?" Wang Zong looked puzzled.
"Brother Wang, what is the purpose of assassins killing our people?"
Seeing Wang Zong's expression of thoughtfulness, Xu Hong continued: "The assassin must have gone after the prince. Since the prince is safe and sound, he will definitely take action again!"
"So you think the assassin is still on the mountain?"
"That's right, that's why I asked people to block the way down the mountain and prepare to search Wolong Mountain!"
Wang Zong nodded and then asked: "But if the assassin misses a single hit and just escapes..."
Of course, nothing was gained. Wang Zong didn't say the next words, which obviously saved Xu Hong's face.
Unexpectedly, Xu Hong smiled, turned around and patted Wang Zong on the shoulder: "So, Brother Wang, I can only pray to God that the assassin will still stay on the mountain!"
In fact, Xu Hong didn't finish what he said.
The reason why he investigated the case with such great fanfare was, on the one hand, to find the murderer, and on the other hand, he had the intention of showing off.
Yes, to a certain extent, he did it to show Zhao Yanxun his intentions and intentions.
In this way, even if the case cannot be solved, Zhao Yanxun may reduce his punishment for the sake of his hard work.
But these words must not be spoken out loud, as saying so is tantamount to seeking death.
The guards took action inside and outside Wolong Temple. The first place where the conflict broke out was at the mountain gate of Wolong Temple.
Seeing the guards rushing towards me like wolves and tigers, the Zhike monk at the mountain gate immediately asked: "Donor, what are you doing?"
"From now on, the monks in the temple are not allowed to come in or out, and we adults will investigate the case!"
After the explanation, the guards swarmed into the mountain gate like wolves and tigers, and the Zhike monk was directly controlled.
According to Xu Hong's arrangements, every place in the temple must be searched, and the guards certainly did not dare to neglect it.
Soon, the entire Wolong Temple was filled with smoke and smoke, and the monks were like prisoners, controlled in various Buddhist temples.
The host Kong Yuan is chanting sutras. He received Zhao Yanxun yesterday, which delayed a lot of his practice. He has to make up for it today.
Bang bang bang... A knock on the door sounded outside the quiet room, interrupting the chanting and the sound of wooden fish.
"Who?" Kong Yuan's old voice sounded.
"Master, something bad has happened. King Yong sent troops to surround the temple, locked up all the monks, and searched everywhere in the temple!" the monk in gray clothes outside reported.
At this point, he said with a hint of crying in his tone: "Fortunately, my disciple moved smoothly and climbed over the wall to reach the master!"
Hearing this, Kong Yuan frowned for a moment, and began to think about the reasons for all this.
"Why did King Yong do this?" Kong Yuan asked after standing up.
"Disciple, I don't know!"
The gray-clothed monk had just finished answering when he heard the door in front of him being opened, and Kongyuan's figure appeared in front of him.
"Follow me to see King Yong!" Kong Yuan stepped out of the threshold and said.
"Master, this..."
"Didn't you hear that?"
The monk in gray clothes could only accept the order, and then he supported Kong Yuan, and the two of them walked towards the mountain gate.
Only after leaving the mountain gate can they go to the Jushiyuan and then see Zhao Yanxun.
After walking out of the host courtyard, the two of them were soon stopped by the guards and asked to restrain themselves for questioning.
"Lao Na, Kongyuan, is the abbot of Wolong Temple. He wants to see your King Yong!" Kongyuan said without changing his expression.
The leader of the team was a small flag officer. After looking at Kong Yuan up and down, he said: "Old monk, how can you see our prince just as long as you want to see him?"
"I am friends with your prince, so I would like to ask the benefactor to explain it on my behalf!" Kong Yuan remained calm and calm.
Seeing that the little flag officer on the opposite side was unmoved, Kong Yuan continued: "Yesterday King Yong also said that if I want to see him, I can go directly to visit him. Now I can't ask you to pass it on for me?"
The guards had no idea whether Zhao Yanxun had said such a thing, but they knew that His Highness King Yong had a very pleasant conversation with the old monk yesterday.
"Old monk, please don't lie to me!" Xiao Qiguan said coldly.
"Monks don't lie!" But when he said this, Kong Yuan silently recited Amitabha.
So the little flag officer took Kong Yuan and rushed to the mountain gate together.
Although Xu Hong said to seal the mountain gate, this small flag officer did not dare to disobey the king's order, even if it was possible to do so.
After arriving at the mountain gate, after asking for instructions from the chief flag officer waiting here, Kong Yuan led his apprentice out of the mountain gate.
The familiar scene outside was already there, but the inside of Wolong Temple had become a mess. Kong Yuan could not sit back and watch the temple fall into his own hands.
So he came to the Jushi's Courtyard, and under the guard of the guards, he knocked on the door of the courtyard.
There was a creak, and a little eunuch's head popped out.
"This poor monk just now is the presiding officer of Wolong Temple. He came here to ask for an audience with the prince. Please inform him on his behalf!" Kong Yuan said with a smile. It is hard to imagine that he can still laugh now.
When Zhao Yanxun and Kong Yuan were playing in the temple yesterday, this young eunuch was accompanying him. He knew that Zhao Yanxun and Kong Yuan could get along well.
"Master, wait a minute, I'm going to pass on the message right now!"
Seeing the young eunuch's respectful look, the guards behind him breathed a sigh of relief and were glad that they had handled it properly.
At this moment, Kong Yuan couldn't be happy. He was extremely anxious. Every time he was delayed, the temple became more dangerous.
It can be said that every place in their eight-hundred-year-old temple is a treasure, and if those guards bump into it, it will be a loss.
After a while, the courtyard door was opened again, and the young eunuch who appeared inside was the same.
"Master, the prince said that he is exhausted both physically and mentally today and there are no outsiders. Please go back, master!"
After saying this, ignoring Kong Yuan's disappointment, the little eunuch said to the guards behind him: "Listen, the prince said, don't be rude to the master!"
