As soon as Ximen Qing said these words, everyone present except Zeng Kui was slightly shocked.
That's right, the people of the Song Dynasty.
Even the soldiers in Zengtou City resonated in their hearts, and the eyes they looked at Zeng Kui gradually changed.
Non-my family, its heart must be different!
Zeng Kui felt the chill in his eyes. He wanted to use some words to tell these soldiers to resist desperately, and he saw the opportunity to escape from Zengtou City. Unexpectedly, in a few words, Ximen Qing said that his soldiers were almost
He's about to defect.
With a sneer, Zeng Kui thrust the steel knife in his hand into the ground and took off his shirt, revealing a huge embroidery on his chest. Wu Song looked and saw that it turned out to be a roaring wolf head.
Zeng Kui held the knife in his hand again, his eyes were a little different, and he shouted to Ximen Qing: "If you want to lend me my head, you can get it yourself!"
When everyone heard this, they all thought that Zeng Kui, a dying beast, was going to make a final struggle, but Ximen Qing saw something different in Zeng Kui's eyes and actions.
"This guy is going to kill one of our own!" Ximen Qing changed his color slightly: "Second brother, Liu Tuozi, stop him quickly!"
Not only Wu Song and Liu Renzhong made this judgment, but even the soldiers from Zengtou City on the opposite side suspected that they heard it wrong.
Zeng Kui suddenly roared and swung out his steel knife. The target was not Ximen Qing and others opposite, but the soldiers around him!
The scene suddenly became chaotic. By the time Wu Song and Liu Renzhong came to their senses, Zeng Kui had already chopped down four soldiers around him one after another!
These four soldiers probably didn't understand until their death why Zeng Kui's steel knife was swung at them.
But Ximen Qing knew that Zeng Kui knew that he alone could not get any good at all, so he simply attacked the people around him. Because in the eyes of Zeng Kui, a native of the Jin Kingdom, all the people of the Song Dynasty were the same.
Why not start with the easiest one?
When Zeng Kui's steel knife slit the throat of the fifth soldier, the other three soldiers finally understood and hurriedly raised their weapons to meet him. However, in doing so, they created an opportunity for Zeng Kui.
He walked back and forth between the three soldiers, making it impossible for Wu Song and Liu Renzhong outside the circle to get in for a while.
Liu Renzhong said anxiously: "You all get out of the way! Stay back!"
These words were spoken a little late. Zeng Kui was already destined to die. His moves were like a mad dog, never retreating. Even though three steel knives were pierced into his chest and abdomen, Zeng Kui still used his knives to kill the three.
The soldiers were killed one by one.
Finally, looking at Wu Song and Liu Renzhong who were rushing towards him, Zeng Kui used his last strength to straighten his body and shouted: "Dajin! Dajin..."
The last thing Zeng Kui saw was Wu Song's iron fist, hitting him hard in the face.
The last word "gold" came into his mouth, but Wu Song slammed it back!
After cutting off Zeng Kui's head, everyone discovered that the monk Da Yuan was tied up in five stripes in the abbot's room. He was no longer breathing when he tried.
Looking at the disemboweled woman next to him, the two novice novices, and the monk Da Yuan whose lower body was bleeding, Ximen Qing suddenly said: "It is indeed retribution, and the monk must look like a monk.
Even the Buddha can't stand it if he keeps a woman and holds an unobstructed meeting."
"Something is wrong." Wu Song seemed to see something and kicked the sword on the ground: "It seems that these two young novice monks died under the sword of this monk Da Yuan."
"So it means that the woman was having an affair with the little novice monk, and Da Yuan, the bald ass, found out about it?" Ximen Qing's gossiping heart became a little lively again: "Tsk, tsk, tsk, this woman really has a strong taste. She had a threesome, and she even had it.
Little bald head..."
"Is it...Ximen...a high official..." Suddenly a small voice rose from beneath his feet, startling everyone. After taking a closer look, Ximen Qing discovered that it was Monk Dayuan with the corners of his mouth trembling.
, I must have passed out just now, my breathing was weak, but now I feel like I have regained my consciousness.
Ximen Qing leaned down to listen to what the monk Da Yuan wanted to say. The monk Da Yuan took a breath for a long time before he said a few words: "Over there...the secret room...the box...you need..."
"Abbott, you're almost dying to pick something important to say." Ximen Qing frowned and said, "What kind of box do you need at this time?"
"It's not... it's... it's... it's..." Monk Dayuan was sweating profusely, but it was very difficult to speak.
"Monks have nothing in common, so don't ask for anything, and say something serious." Ximen Qing interrupted Monk Dayuan's series of "wants". Unexpectedly, the monk had a rattling sound in his throat. He glared, shook his legs, and went directly.
The West is blissful.
"Sigh. In your next life, remember to practice Tantric Buddhism and visit the Happy Buddha." Ximen Qing touched the carotid artery of Monk Dayuan, shook his head and said: "For a lustful monk like you, the Happy Buddha is right on the road. The path of the Sutra is the same as the Buddha."
If your temperament is not compatible, you can easily go crazy."
Liu Renzhong pointed to a hidden secret door on the opposite wall: "Chief, is this the secret room that the monk said?"
"Secret room? This sexy monk must be used to hide women. Maybe there is some money, and by the way, there is a box with a mouth." Ximen Qing stood up and thought for a while: "You two go down and take a look.
If there are any boxes, bring them over and see."
The house was full of corpses, and there was blood everywhere. Ximen Qing simply ran to the yard and waited, looking around. This thousand-year-old temple was considered destroyed. Even if thousands of corpses were disposed of, would there be many innocent souls?
Will it be renamed Lanruo Temple in the future?
Ximen Qing was thinking randomly, Liu Renzhong had already brought a soldier down and carried the box over.
The box is not too big, but in this era they were all solid wood boxes. I don’t know whether it is sandalwood or some other wood. Anyway, Ximen Qing knew from the muffled sound of the box hitting the stone floor that it was not light.
"This box is not big, but it weighs a lot on my hands." Liu Renzhong shook his hands and complained: "It would be nice if there were all bunches of copper coins in it, and it wouldn't be in vain for me to have to carry it."
The lock on the box was hung on it, but it was unlocked. Ximen Qing raised his hand to open the box and took a look: "No, there's not a single copper coin."
Liu Renzhong cried with a sad face: "Chief, what's in there? Don't tell me there's a dead person hidden in it?"
"There are no copper coins, but there are a lot of weapons." Ximen Qing was also very surprised: "Is this monk Da Yuan a monk? Why is he so perverted and hides a lot of weapons in the box?"
"Whatever, it's just for the brothers." Liu Renzhong became a little interested and came over to take a look. Sure enough, there were knives, swords, axes, and even a pair of hammers inside. No wonder it was so tight.
.
"This monk Da Yuan is not a good person. If a peaceful monk would not have acquired so many weapons." Wu Song looked at it thoughtfully: "But they all look like ordinary weapons. Could this monk want to rebel?"
Ximen Qing laughed and said: "The monks rebelled? If they really want to rebel, then all the monks in the temple will not be killed by Zengtou City. Let's see if there is anything else. The bald donkey also wanted this box before he died.
, it must be more than just weapons."
Looking around inside the box, Ximen Qing actually found a small package in the corner of the box.
There were not many things in the package, but it finally explained why Monk Dayuan wanted this box before he died.
A stack of jiaozi. According to Ximen Qing's estimate, there were more than three thousand jiaozi, which made Liu Renzhong's mouth water.
It was a small booklet filled with densely written words. Ximen Qing flipped through a few pages and saw that they were all running accounts, which were a bit overwhelming, so he had to put them away first and wait for a chance to read them slowly.
At the bottom of the package was a small waist tag. Ximen Qing took a quick look and felt that the pattern on it was very familiar.
"Brother, this is similar to the waist card we have." Wu Song took a look at it, took out his own piece from his arms and compared it: "There are also no words. Although the patterns are different in details, they look the same.
It’s a way.”
"Imperial City Secretary?"
Ximen Qing and Wu Song said in unison and looked at each other.
What kind of organization is the Imperial City Division? The abbot of Fahua Temple actually has the badge of the Imperial City Division. Could it be that he is also a member of the Imperial City Division? What is the purpose or mission of Monk Dayuan here? It is surveillance.
Zeng Tau Market?
Ximen Qing suddenly felt that the booklet had become very important. If Monk Dayuan discovered suspicious behavior in Zengtou City, he would definitely record it.
Zengtou City must also have an ulterior background. Elder Zeng, who sells ginseng, suddenly settled here, which is a suspicious behavior in itself. It only took a year or two for the Jurchen tribe to become the Jin Kingdom, but the Zeng family has already stayed there.
for more than ten years.
Sure enough, the Jurchens, now the Jin Kingdom, had infiltrated the Song Dynasty from the very beginning. Zengtou City could be said to be a bridgehead and a nail in the Jin Kingdom's favor in the Song Dynasty.
No wonder Zengtou City wanted to build a stronghold and recruit soldiers. Elder Zeng not only had five sons, but also hired two teachers, Shi Wengong and Su Ding, with heavy salaries. It was already a state within a state.
Ximen Qing could imagine that nearby intelligence was sent directly to the Kingdom of Jin through Zengtou City. Even Lingzhou had an intelligence station. It is conceivable that many places in the Song Dynasty, especially Tokyo, also had similar intelligence stations.
All aspects of information from the Song Dynasty were sent back to the Kingdom of Jin through merchants.
The Imperial City Department must be a similar secret service agency, secretly monitoring these suspicious places.
"There are people from the Imperial City Division here, but what about in Liangshan?" Ximen Qing almost confirmed his idea immediately: "There are a lot of people in Liangshan, and nine out of ten Imperial City Division personnel have been deployed. Maybe some leaders have been
The Imperial City Division bought it."
"All the soldiers in Zengtou City have been killed, what should we do next?" Liu Tuozi couldn't help but ask when he saw Ximen Qing pondering for a while while looking at the waist badge.
Ximen Qing looked at the sky and saw that the sun was slowly setting towards the western horizon. He ordered: "Everyone should withdraw from Zengtou City and escort the family members back to the village."
"The surviving women will also be taken away. We will live in the village temporarily and we will talk tomorrow."
