Chapter 224: At the temple where the filth is hidden
On the evening before Yin Hu took action, a gray figure entered Qianming Temple.【】
"Abbot Yongxin, someone is coming from the capital." A young novice came to the door of the abbot's Zen room.
"Invite him in." A wrinkled old man was sitting on a futon chanting sutras, but as soon as a voice sounded outside the door, he stood up.
The door creaked, and a dusty monk came in.
"Amitabha, how are you, Abbot Yongxin?" The monk came in and greeted him with a smile. They were old acquaintances, and he had come and gone dozens of times over the years.
"Well done! Stop pretending, sit down and have a rest, and then tell us what's going on in the capital recently?" The wrinkled old face looked like a chrysanthemum in full bloom. Yongxin opened his swollen eyes and looked at This is the messenger who is responsible for delivering messages.
"Haha, it's not a big deal. There's just a mysterious man in the capital...who wants to assassinate the crown prince." The middle-aged monk lowered his voice in a mysterious manner as he spoke.
"Oh? I heard that when Governor Su took office a few days ago, he brought two and a half-year-old children with him. Could it be that..." Abbot Yongxin's swollen eyes also opened and shone brightly.
"Yes, I am sure. I am here this time because Abbot Wangchen ordered you to provide convenience for those who assassinate people. Moreover, there may be people coming to Xinyinmen in the recent period. You just watch and collect information. , help if you can, but don’t involve yourself.”
"Okay, I understand. There is a fat man living in my temple. He doesn't look like a good person. Maybe he was sent by a mysterious person from the capital. He changes his appearance every day. I will pay attention to him. By the way. , are you still behaving as usual tonight?" The old man raised his eyes and asked him.
"Of course it's the old rule. After walking for so long, you need to vent your anger." The middle-aged monk said with a sinister smile on his face.
"Oh, I really envy you young people. I'm old and can't play anymore." Abbot Yongxin shook his head seemingly helplessly.
"Young Master, you usually look sluggish. But on that snow-white mountain, you are more lively than anyone else. I really can't figure out how you grew up? You are obviously only a few years older than me, but you look very... Like a 'disciplined monk'." The middle-aged man rolled his eyes at him. What this old guy is best at is pretending.
"Hey, this is a gift from God. Anyone who looks at me will think that I am a person who has dedicated his whole life to the Buddha." Yongxin suddenly changed his face from a vulgar smile to a pious expression.
"Okay, I need to pack it up outside, and I can also get some money for some sesame oil. Come on, are there any new products recently? I'll give my brother some fun." The middle-aged monk urged hurriedly.
"Why are you so anxious? Isn't it going to be dark soon? You go and wash up. We'll see you in the darkroom later. This time there are two young girls with tender and tender skin. Don't let yourself get tired." Yong. Abbot Xin regained his obscene expression.
"Hey, I'm not that useless. But I have to fill my stomach to the point where it's real, and I can't run out of energy halfway through. Abbot Yongxin, you have to get me something delicious. At least beef is in charge. That's enough. It's hard to get this food in Guan." The middle-aged monk said and stood up.
"Don't worry, I asked the young novice to do it now and send you to your room later." Yongxin also stood up and walked out. After leaving the door, the middle-aged monk followed the young novice to rest. But Yongxin looked up at the sky, and it was getting dark soon. It should be a very happy night tonight, but it's a pity that the two little girls haven't enjoyed it themselves yet, so they have to share it with others. It seems that next time I Start faster.
But Yongxin did not expect that tonight would be the most terrifying night in his life, and it would also be the key night for all the dirty things in Qianming Temple to be revealed to the world.
"Sir, these house deeds and land deeds are worth about five thousand taels of silver, not counting the jewelry." Yin Hu approached Li Chengqian and reported.
"Well, put them away, they are all evidence. We need to speed up a little, we will go to Qianming Temple to arrest people in a while." Li Chengqian was afraid of long nights and dreams, and the existing evidence was enough for him to raid Qianming Temple.
"General Su?"
"Don't worry, young master, the soldiers have made arrangements. They have probably surrounded Qianming Temple now. Those people can't escape." Su Lie understood what Li Chengqian meant when he saw him calling him. Before rushing to the small courtyard, He has already sent out the order, and the hundreds of soldiers directly under him will rush to Qianming Temple upon receiving the order, quietly surrounding them, waiting for their arrival.
"Okay, you guys search here first, General Su, we'll go there." Li Chengqian couldn't wait any longer.
"Okay, Yin Hu, after you finish searching here, you can rush over with people." Su Lie kindly gave Yin Hu another chance. To be honest, there is no shortage of manpower over there.
"Yes, I obey my orders." Yin Hu knew very well that this was Governor Su trying to support him. He must work hard to live up to Shangguan's hard work.
"Xiao Wei, are you okay?" Li Chengqian was worried about Qin Wei, who was slumped in the chair. This kid was almost exhausted.
"Okay, what a ghost, get me some candy." Qin Wei felt that he really had no strength at all. He regretted going down. Being too curious is really not a good thing! And he was having a bad day today. Having offended Li Chengqian when he was in the mansion, he should have known that he was in bad luck and should have been more careful. He must remember this lesson in the future.
"Candy? Yes." Li Chengqian always carries it with him. He likes the green candy invented by Lin Yi, so he always carries some with him in case he wants to eat but doesn't have it.
After feeding one into Qin Wei's mouth, Li Chengqian continued: "You go back home and rest first, and I will tell you the results then."
"How can that be done? I must participate in such a big operation. Even if I am being carried, you have to carry me." As soon as Qin Wei heard Li Chengqian's words, he jumped up and joked. At the last moment, he had to carry me. If you catch a big fish, how can you be absent? Then even if you brag to your brothers, you will lose a piece of capital.
He didn't know that the brothers in his heart were rushing to Dingxiang in a menacing manner, and he was about to be out of luck.
Li Chengqian glared at Qin Wei, who suddenly became lively and vigorous in front of him. Just like this, why should he be carried? He probably could just let this kid run. Human potential is indeed unlimited, and what Xiao Yi said is indeed right.
"Then let's go. Can you ride a horse by yourself?" Li Chengqian asked blankly.
"No, General Su will take me for a ride." After hearing that he was allowed to go, Qin Wei immediately collapsed again. The excitement just now exhausted all his strength.
Li Chengqian was speechless, and Su Lie was helpless. He has almost become the personal bodyguard of these two people these days, and has to take care of everything. Fortunately, they are still on business and have made a lot of achievements. , when the time comes to report to the emperor, his share will definitely be indispensable.
"Let's go, drive..." A group of more than fifty people galloped on horseback, waking up many people who were sleeping lightly.
These people also knew that something must have happened, and their reaction was to get out of bed, lock the door and courtyard door, then enter the house, lie on the bed, and listen carefully to the sound. Until there was silence for a while. , indicating that it would not affect them, and they gradually fell asleep.
After the war, the people of Dingxiang will always be a little more sensitive.
Not long after, these people arrived at Qianming Temple. As they approached Qianming Temple, they deliberately slowed down and kept the sound of horse hooves down, so as not to disturb the monks in the temple.
A guard got off his horse and knocked on the door. The little novice monk who was on duty inside came out to open the door in a daze. As soon as the corner door was opened, before he could ask what was wrong, he was pushed down by the guard and held tightly. His mouth, and the guard who came in immediately went to open the door.
Once the gate is opened, it means that the Qianming Temple in front of them is undefended for them.
At this time, the guards held torches and swarmed in. Su Lie waved to the nearby soldiers, leaving two hundred people around the temple to prevent people from escaping. The rest rushed into the Qianming Temple.
Li Chengqian and Qin Wei walked slowly to the main hall, where there was a majestic and solemn bronze statue of the Buddha, but these monks did all kinds of evil things in the name of the Buddha.
Buddha, Buddha, if you really have a spirit, would you allow your representative in the human world to do such a thing? Come to think of it, you are also illusory, or you have limited ability and cannot control them. Li Chengqian thought silently in his heart.
Qin Wei was still eating sweets. There were only futons in the main hall, which made him unhappy. He asked the guards around him to find two chairs, where he and Li Chengqian sat and waited.
The soldiers were divided into several teams to conduct searches. The layout of the meditation room was relatively simple and there were not many things, so they had fewer things to smash open and the speed would be faster.
But they inspected the cellars and secret passages in the house very strictly. They would knock everywhere with the handle of a knife. If they heard something that sounded wrong, they would hit it with a sledgehammer. This sledgehammer was specially borrowed from the blacksmith shop. Yes, just for breaking down the wall for the night action.
Abbot Yongxin was having fun in the darkroom with the middle-aged monk, and they couldn't hear anything from above.
As the soldiers' search scope expanded, the monks were also frightened, including the fat man who was still staying in the temple. He really didn't expect that he would not be safe hiding here.
He quickly analyzed the pros and cons, then walked out of his room and ran towards the peach grove behind the temple.
These soldiers must be searching mainly rooms. For the time being, Taolin is safe, but he must find a way to escape quickly, otherwise he will become a turtle in the urn. Don't even think about it, since these soldiers have already If you come in, there will definitely be more soldiers outside, and the front door and back door will be their focus. You must not go from there.
"Tell me, where is your abbot?" In a spacious Zen room, Su Lie grabbed a somewhat fat monk and asked.
"I...I don't know, I..." the monk denied in panic.
Su Lie stopped talking and just put the knife on his neck, slowly applying force.
"Don't...don't kill me, I said...can't you do it after I said it..." The monk cried and begged for mercy.
