Lao Hei smiled and said: "Sir, there is nothing going on at home, uh... it should be nothing."
Yang Hao was anxious: "There's nothing to do. What are you doing here?" He looked up and saw that the imperial guards were still standing nearby. He quickly pulled Lao Hei aside and asked, "How did you find him? It was Wa'er who called you. Are you here?"
The old gangster said: "It was indeed the madam who asked the young one to come. Not only the young man came, but also the madam, and even the eldest lady came."
Yang Hao said in astonishment: "Come to Sizhou? Where did this lady come from?"
The old gangster said: "That's Miss Tang Yanyan. Madam asked me to address Miss Tang as eldest lady. I saw that Miss Tang looked very happy, so I kept calling her that way."
Yang Hao was shocked and lost his voice: "Tang Yanyan? What is she doing in Sizhou? She has already arrived in the capital and met King Jin?" When he said this, Yang Hao's voice couldn't help but tremble.
Lao Hei hurriedly told Yang Hao what Wu Wa'er asked him to tell Yang Hao from beginning to end. When Yang Hao heard the whole story clearly, he couldn't bear the joy at this moment. He seemed to be in a state of infatuation: Yan Yan has not changed his mind. , such a pampered daughter-in-law who was born into a wealthy family, she actually ran away from home penniless and came to look for me. Fortunately, she met the doll. Otherwise, with her carefree nature, she would have been deceived by the gangster. Go, my conscience will never be at peace in my life. I'm such a fool. I only feel jealous and hateful when I get the trust, but I don't trust her so much. If she knows that I look at her like that, I really don't know how she will be sad..."
Seeing his happy and ashamed look, Lao Hei couldn't help but smile and said: "Madam said, although the eldest lady is straightforward and lovely, she can't stand it when she is aggressive. Madam has already said everything for you in front of the eldest lady." If you are kind to me, Madam, please tell me to be prepared, and don’t let your words slip and make Eldest Madam unhappy.”
Yang Hao said repeatedly: "Okay, okay, I know what to do. Where are they now, and why don't they come to meet me?"
The old gangster said: "The eldest lady and the madam are now in the local grain gentry Uncle Zhou Wang's house. Because they couldn't escape, they found a way to let the younger one come out to look for you..."
Yang Haoyou suddenly changed his color, grabbed him and said: "In Uncle Zhou Wang's house? How come he is in Uncle Zhou Wang's house? How dare Uncle Zhou Wang rob civilian girls? I will immediately lead people to rescue them. Uncle Zhou Wang will be killed today..." "
Lao Hei stopped him and said slowly: "Don't be anxious, sir. I don't know if Uncle Zhou Wang has robbed a young girl by force, but the eldest lady and his wife were not snatched away by him, but brought to the door by himself."
"Huh?" Yang Hao then realized that there must be something fishy, and quickly calmed down and asked: "Tell me, what is going on?"
Lao Hei explained the whole story carefully. Yang Hao was surprised, happy, and a little worried at the same time. Instead of asking about the matter that induced Uncle Zhou Wang to sell grain, he asked first: "Are Yanyan and the baby safe in the Zhou Mansion? ?Will there be any accidents?"
The old gangster said: "Don't worry, sir. Zhang Niu'er is now pretending to be the son of the Lai family of Yingtian Mansion Jewelry. The Lai family has business dealings with the Tang family. The eldest lady knows this very well, so she doesn't show it at all. Flaw, it's too late for Uncle Zhou Wang to curry favor with Mr. Lai, so how can he dare to take advantage of the two ladies?"
Yang Hao was still worried and asked suspiciously: "Then why did they even come out of the Zhou Mansion, but they asked you to report it to me?"
The old gangster said: "Tomorrow is the transaction date. Uncle Zhou Wang left Zhang Niu'er to live in his house. Firstly, he wanted to curry favor with him. Secondly, it was because of the caution he had developed from doing this illegal business for many years. It was not against Zhang Niuer and the two of them.
The lady has doubts, so don't worry, sir. The time and place have been reported to you. I hope you can tell me what the situation is, so that I can report back to the two ladies."
Yang Hao said hurriedly: "Just wait, I will come as soon as I go."
Yang Hao hurried back to the cabin and saw Cheng Yu, Cheng Dexuan on the left, Murong Qiuzui, and Fang Zhengnan on the right. The four of them were arguing like fighting cocks, with red faces and thick necks. Chu Zhaofu sat with a pair of bull's eyes.
In the middle, without saying a word, Wei Wang Zhao Dezhao looked like he was in a dilemma. The four of them were quarrelsome and ignored Yang Hao when they saw him coming in. They continued to quote scriptures and talk loudly.
Yang Hao had no time to pay attention, and hurriedly bypassed them and went straight to Zhao Dezhao and whispered in his ear. Chu Zhaofu raised his ears and raised his buttocks to listen carefully. However, the bastards Cheng Yu and Murong Qiuzui were arguing too loudly.
He didn't hear anything.
Zhao Dezhao heard Yang Hao whisper a few words, stood up hurriedly, and pulled him to the side. Cheng Yu and Murong Qiuzui saw the mysterious appearance of the two whispering, and couldn't help but stop arguing and look at them. 2
After asking and answering questions for a long time, Zhao Dezhao thought for a moment, gritted his teeth and nodded, then turned around and said: "There is no need for you to argue. I have made a decision. Mr. Chu, please follow me in."
As soon as Zhao Dezhao turned around, he walked towards the small room where he was resting. Chu Zhaofu jumped up and followed him in large strides. Cheng Dexuan rushed to Yang Hao and asked: "Mr. Yang, I wonder what the prince's decision has been?"
Yang Hao glanced to the side, Cheng Dexuan rolled his eyes, and saw Murong Qiuzui and Fang Zhengzheng standing side by side, their ears pricked up like big-eared thieves, and they immediately laughed and said: "Your Majesty ordered Yang Yuan to
If you want to keep it a secret, then the subordinates will just leave it alone." After saying this, he glanced at the two men proudly, and then walked away, making Murong Qiu Zui and the others so angry that their teeth started to itch.
Zhao Dezhao and Chu Zhaofu discussed secretly for a long time, and then Chu Zhaofu came out slowly. Zhao Dezhao lingered alone in the room for a long time, and suddenly remembered that he had not recalled the observers and supervisors of his government, nor reported it to his father.
After studying the ink and picking up the pen, he just wrote two words. He turned his head and thought about it, then started wandering around the room with his hands behind his hands. After a while, he suddenly raised his voice and shouted: "Here comes someone!"
A chamberlain quickly walked into the inner room. Zhao Dezhao stepped forward to greet him and whispered in a low voice: "Go to the government office and bring Mr. Zong back quickly. Tell him that the king has important matters to discuss with him."
Sizhou Puguang Temple stands on the edge of Hongze Lake. It is a very large temple. During the Tang Dynasty, the four famous temples where the finger bones of Sakyamuni were placed were the Wutai Mountain Pagoda in Daizhou, Wutai Temple in Zhongnan Mountain, and Sizhou Puguang Temple.
Puguang Temple and Famen Temple in Fengxiang Prefecture, including Puguang Temple, were selected by the Tang Dynasty as the temple to store the relics of the Buddha. One can imagine the grand scale of its construction and its huge influence in the Buddhist world.
Nowadays, the Buddha relics from Wutai Mountain Pagoda in Daizhou and Wutai Temple in Zhongnan Mountain have been destroyed in the "Huichang Fa Incident" during the reign of Emperor Wuzong of the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, only Puguang Temple and Famen Temple in the entire Central Plains now store Buddha relics. Therefore, Puguang Temple naturally becomes
The most revered holy place by Buddhists in the southeast area, incense is extremely popular.
Unfortunately, the Qing Dynasty failed to regulate the Huaihe River, and the river flooded year after year. During the Kangxi period, the entire Sizhou City sank to the bottom of Hongze Lake. This famous temple and the Buddha's bones and relics collected in the underground palace were also buried underwater forever, including the Famen Temple.
The Buddha bone relic has become the only remaining Buddha relic in China. I will not mention it at this time.
Such a famous temple has a magnificent building and a wide area. It has three thousand monks and pilgrims, and there are many protectors and donors. However, the biggest protector Tan Yue is Zhou Wangshu. Protector Zhou comes to the temple every month to worship the Buddha, burn incense and offer sesame oil.
He had countless money, but in the hearts of the monks, Zhou Yuanwai was a layman who was devout to Buddha, willing to give alms and love good deeds.
Zhou Shanren not only remodeled the Buddha's golden body every year, but also renovated and expanded temples. He purchased nearly 100 temples on the shores of Hongze Lake, built warehouses on half of them near the dock, and built temple buildings on the other half and donated them to Puguang Temple.
At this moment, Zhou Dashan's nephew Zhou Nanshan was standing on the Buddha Light Pagoda behind Puguang Temple, looking at the beautiful scenery of lakes and mountains. Standing beside him was the rich and handsome Mr. Lai. Further back, there were two beauties from Mr. Lai.
The concubine was dressed comfortably in her kimono, and the two beauties were all dressed up in fancy clothes. They were so charming that even the two great monks standing on the steps of the tower kept peeking at their bodies.
"Most of Zhou's grain is stored in the dock warehouse." Zhou Nanshan said with a smile: "The Sizhou local government will not easily come to embarrass Zhou. If they really come to investigate, it doesn't matter. Behind this warehouse is the Puguang Temple.
If the secret door is connected, as long as you get the information, the monks in the temple can quietly move away all Zhou's food without Zhou using a dock warrior, and there will be no clues from the outside. Who dares to do so without evidence?
Go to Cha Puguang Temple? That would really put me in trouble with the Buddhist believers in the entire Southeast Road. The Buddha has blessed me so much, so my uncle and nephew will naturally become devout to the Buddha, hehehe..."
Zhou Zhoushan laughed proudly, looked around, and suddenly asked: "Excuse Lai, why hasn't your ship arrived yet?"
Zhang Niuer said: "Brother Zhou, the Sizhou Wharf is damming and damming. Although my boats are all flat-bottomed boats and can handle shallow water, they still have to go a long way to get here. Haha, why are you in a hurry? We have plenty of time.
"
He looked at the warehouse on the pier under the tower, then looked up at the sun in the sky, smiled and praised: "Zhou Yuanwai really has a way, it seems that Lai really did not find the wrong person when he asked your uncle and nephew to cooperate, haha, haha
…”
In the magistrate's yamen, the servants of the three yamen, Zaoli archers, and fast-moving soldiers were all concentrated on both sides of the Touyi Gate in the front yard. There was a chair under the eaves of the lobby. Chu Zhaofu was sitting upright in his official robe, with two rows of imperial guards behind him.
Arranged in the shape of goose wings, they all said nothing.
The government officials, police officers, archers and slaves below have been here for nearly an hour. At this hour, no one is allowed in or out of the government office, so the people are ordered to gather here, but they don’t know why. At first, everyone was frightened.
Due to the majesty of the Third Secretary, they did not dare to talk to each other, but after waiting for such a long time, everyone was puzzled and couldn't help but whisper.
Seeing that the sun was getting higher, Chu Zhaofu coughed, stood up slowly, and walked down the steps slowly with his belt in hand. Two lines of forbidden troops behind him followed up with sonorous footsteps. Seeing this posture, the Yamen who were talking to each other crossed their faces.
The servants immediately fell silent and stood in awe.
"I am the Third Chief of Staff, Chu Zhaofu!" Chu Zhaofu shouted with a loud voice: "I have called you here today. You don't need to ask what you are doing. You don't need to ask where you are going. The only thing you have to do is
, just follow orders and take people!"
Chu Zhaofu looked at everyone's faces and said with a ferocious smile: "I have heard it all clearly. Today is an unusual case. If anyone dares to cheat and ruin my affairs, by then, I, Mr. Chu
People recognize you, but someone's sword does not recognize you!"
The two rows of guards pulled out and inserted the steel knives under their ribs at the same time. The sound of the knives "crack" was heard, and the hairs on the hairs of those Yamen servants immediately stood up.
