The temple, which never accepts money for incense, unexpectedly found thousands of taels of loose silver coins in the abbot's room.
He Guangyi held a piece of broken silver and looked at it carefully. Now that the Ming Dynasty had popularized silver coins, these broken pieces of silver were obviously taken away in a hurry and there was no time to pack them up.
This money is a considerable windfall for the officers and soldiers.
And He Guangyi's expression became more and more ferocious and embarrassing.
"You've been fooled!"
The officers and soldiers over there were cheering, while the Jin Yiwei over there were crestfallen.
Obviously, these remnants of the White Lotus Sect discovered them and took advantage of their desire to catch them all in one fell swoop, making them wait in the county town. However, those remnants escaped while they were waiting.
He Guangyi held the pieces of silver in his palm and said coldly, "What do the brothers at each level say? Why haven't you replied yet?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a member of the Imperial Guard's banner rode up to the outside of the temple.
Then he ran to He Guangyi panting, "Du Tang, when the brothers saw your signal, they blocked the road and not a single bird could fly across!"
"It's too late!" He Guangyi thought to himself, "I'm afraid people will have run away long ago before the road is blocked!"
I think so, but I still have to ask, "When you set up traffic jams on the road, are there any abnormalities in the pedestrians passing by?"
"No, all the people coming and going are ordinary people!" After saying that, the Jin Yiwei Zongqi thought for a while, "When it was still dark, a few men passed by the humble office. They were carrying a seriously ill old man on their backs. They were going to
Go find Lang!"
"You idiot!" He Guangyi said angrily, "Isn't there a doctor in the county? No one would rather treat a doctor who is near or far away!"
"Which way did he run to?" He Guangyi continued to ask.
"Well, I didn't pay attention to this humble position..."
"Trash!" He Guangyi yelled.
"Sir, from my humble opinion, these people must be broken into pieces if they escape!" Ji Gang said, "Otherwise, the goal would be too big if they were together." He said, pondering for a moment, "They monsters have been operating here for many years, and they want to
It’s easy to escape our eyes and ears. Even if you don’t escape far away, you can still hide in the surrounding farmers!”
He Guangyi thought for a moment, "Where are the people from the Chief Secretary? Let them take the population list and conduct house-to-house checks within the scope of our control."
"Here!"
"Also, interrogate these bald donkeys for me immediately!" He Guangyi looked at the monks with a ferocious look on his face, "Pry open their mouths and don't let go of any clues!"
Immediately, this Jile Temple became the torture chamber of Jin Yiwei.
The officers and soldiers, who were still in high spirits just now, immediately stopped their activities after seeing the interrogation methods of the Jin Yiwei, and stayed away from these people in awe.
He Guangyi sat alone under the Buddha statue, squeezing the pieces of silver in his hand tightly, "Who leaked the news?"
Someone must have leaked the news, otherwise the demons from the White Lotus Sect would never have escaped so quickly. Moreover, these demons must have known that it was the Jin Yiwei who came, otherwise they would not have been able to escape so easily.
"Tang Zhentai, Yan Yanqing, King Qin..."
He Guangyi thought about everyone who knew about his visit to Xi'an, "the soldiers under Tang Zhentai, the military commander of the Prince of Qin's Palace, and the chief eunuch of the Prince of Qin's Palace..."
The more he thought about it, the more clueless he became.
The more I think about it, the more confused my thoughts become.
He knew that if the White Lotus Sect could not handle this matter, his official position would be over.

Under the night, a donkey cart was racing along the rugged mountain road.
During the bumpy carriage, Tian Jiucheng, who looked alert, said to the old monk next to him who was pretending to be an ordinary old man, "Brother, where are we going?"
The old monk smiled, but his expression was calm, "Xi'an!"
Tian Jiucheng thought about it and his anxiety was palpable, "Brother, can we be accommodated there?"
"The big shot has something in our hands, why can't he tolerate us? Hehe!" the old monk said with a smile.
"What a pity for our foundation!" Tian Jiucheng sighed, "Kek Lok Temple has been operating for many years, and now it is destroyed!"
"The officers and soldiers have left, let's just go back!" The old monk sneered, "If they can't find us, the officers and soldiers and the imperial guards will definitely attack our believers. You don't know their virtues. If you kill the good and take credit for it, then
At that time, the believers hated the government even more. When the limelight passes, we can stand up and shout, hehe!"
"The imperial court thinks that just catching us is enough? Idiot!"
"All the key members of the teaching are hiding among the people, how can they catch them?"
"Leave that Kek Lok Temple. As long as you and I are still there, the brothers in the sect will have the backbone."
"That's not what I said!" Tian Jiucheng continued to sigh, "I always feel that going to Xi'an is not a good choice. Although I don't have much knowledge, when you said that you would join forces with that big shot, I knew you were seeking the skin of a tiger.
Senior brother, we can’t see the light!”
"If you cooperate with them, they will be able to deal with us right away!"
The old monk's expression also became solemn, "But if we don't cooperate with them, we will always be fighting in small quarrels! Years have changed, and it is getting harder and harder to start riots like before."
"There must be a big force behind us to ensure safety!"
After saying that, the old monk looked at Tian Jiucheng and said, "You don't have to worry too much. I ordered the brothers to break up into parts and lurk first. Let's wait until the limelight passes!"

Autumn in Xi'an is much colder than in Beijing. When I wake up in the morning, there is a layer of fallen leaves beside the window, and the water in the pond seems to have solidified.
Mao Xiang washed his face with cold water. The cold feeling made the pores all over his body open.
This is a high-class inn in Xi'an City. It has a separate courtyard and is as elegant as the back house of a wealthy family.
After washing up, he wiped his hair vigorously with a towel.
Suddenly, he stopped and quickly wrapped the towel around his arm. Then like a leopard, he jumped directly onto the roof and opened his arms.
With a crash, a handsome Haidongqing fell from the sky.
The huge wings spread out, swooped down, and landed accurately on Mao Xiang's arm wrapped in a towel. Then, he rubbed his head on Mao Xiang's shoulder in a flattering manner.
"You're tired! I've prepared lamb for you!"
Mao Xiang's face showed a rare expression of humanity, and then he turned over and landed on the ground with Hai Dongqing on his arm.
Then he found a piece of cloth tied on Hai Dongqing's feet, reached out and untied it and unfolded it.
"Since my husband arrived in Qin, a total of thirty people have come and gone from the palace..."
Mao Xiang silently looked at the piece of cloth with the words on his hand, remembering all the words on it.
Then, he put Haidongqing on the table, picked up the knife with his own hands, and cut into thin strips the fresh lamb that the innkeeper had brought to him in the early morning.
Then feed them to Haidongqing one by one and stroke the top of its head.
Then, he burned the strip of cloth with the words on it.
At the same time, he also took out a clean piece of cloth and wrote with a pen.
"Check, where are you going and who are you meeting?"
"Also, the palace has been visited by many people recently, why didn't you report it?"
After Hai Dongqing finished eating, he tied the cloth strip tightly, put it on his arm, and shook it with all his strength.
Haidongqing soars into the sky and gradually disappears.
"No one can hide it from Qing Yan!"

If I go on a blind date again, I will be an idiot.
I'm really just like an idiot. Who am I going to please when I'm full?
The society is so chaotic, who can we pretend to be innocent for?
