In the Zen room, Zen Master Yizhi was surrounded by the abbot of Chengtian Temple and Ju Hao and admonished him.

Ouyang Rong sat opposite them, with his back to the door.

Yan Liulang, Qin Yi and others stood in the open space at the entrance of the Zen house with umbrellas. The black-armored soldiers around them almost filled the entire Zen house.

It is obviously a place where Buddhists cultivated their Qing Dynasty and realized Zen, but at this moment, it is filled with murderous soldiers.

Fang Yiwu knelt three steps behind Ouyang Rong, kneeling and keeping his head still.

Fang Shengnan and Fang Juxiu, who were brought behind him, had very exciting expressions after seeing the figure of Ouyang Rong, who was attracting the attention of the whole audience.

Pei Shisanniang stepped forward to bring tea and water to Ouyang Rong.

"Are you really a bachelor of Xiuwenguan and the governor of Jiangzhou, Ouyang Lianghan?"

Fang Juxiu suddenly asked.

"Um."

Ouyang Rong responded without turning his head and ignored her. He turned to Pei Shisanniang and said:

"Why are you pouring tea for me? It's for the master and the eminent monks. Didn't Thirteenth Mother see that they are so thirsty that they are speechless? It's a bit too blind."

Pei Shisanniang lowered her eyebrows and said, "Okay, sir."

She was not upset and obediently came forward with tea and poured it for the monks.

After her sister asked, Fang Shengnan couldn't help but ask:

"But you...why are you so handsome?"

Ouyang Rongqi asked:

"Why can't Ouyang Lianghan be so handsome?"

Fang Shengnan didn't hesitate and blurted out: "But...he is so handsome, isn't he a pretty boy? He looks nothing like that dog official Ouyang Lianghan."

Ouyang Rong thought for a while and asked: "Can't he be a pretty-faced dog official?"

He turned back to look at Fang Jixiu who was in a state of confusion, nodded and said:

"Thank you Madam Fang for your advice. It's very pertinent. Although it won't be used, I'd like to thank you in advance just in case."

Ouyang Rong smiled sheepishly and pointed to the Zen master:

"Ms. Fang and Mrs. Fang should know this master."

Fang raised his sleeves and looked away, while Fang Shengnan looked troubled and looked at Zen Master Yizhi frequently, his eyes a little worried.

Fang Yiwu suddenly turned dark, turned his head and shouted:

"My lord asked you two to talk, didn't you hear me?"

Ouyang Rong smiled slightly:

"Fang Yuanwai, don't be so loud. It's not good to scare people. After all, she is my own daughter."

Fang Yiwu looked haggard: "It's really a sin for the sinful people not to have such an evil daughter."

Ouyang Rong pointed to the bronze dagger and secret letter on the ground, signaled to the Fang sisters, and asked:

"Then you two should know this gadget, right?"

Fang Shengnan kept silent, and she lowered her head under Fang Yiwu's frowning gaze.

Fang Juxiu's eyes were unblinking, and he stared at Ouyang Rong's face the whole time without speaking.

There were some bloodshot eyes in the whites of her eyes, as if she was trying to remember something or see something clearly.

Ouyang Rong stood up, walked to Zen Master Yi Zhi, took the washed tea cup from Pei Shisanniang's hand, skillfully filled a cup of tea, pushed it forward, and said with a smile:

"Master, if you don't open your mouth, the tea will get cold. They say that people leave when tea is cold. Master, he must be waiting for us to leave. It's a pity. Today's tea can be refilled. Even if the master is cold, it won't get cold."

As soon as Ouyang Rong finished speaking, Pei Shisanniang smiled tenderly and picked up the teapot and refilled the tea cup.

Everyone looked at each other in shock.

Ouyang Rong spoke again, and his clear words echoed in the ears of everyone inside and outside the Zen room. The thunder and rain outside seemed to be suppressed by this voice:

"Xiaosheng asked Master again, why did Master accept this Yunmeng Token, and what is his relationship with Yunmengze. If he was coerced, it can be said that this is the pure place of Buddhism, and it is safe to turn back.

"If you don't say anything again, don't blame the ruthless national law. The ban on transgressing women has been issued. Today's saints love the Buddha. It is true that the disciples of the monks like you, even the monks of the Xuankong Temple who are favored by the saints, violate the national law."

There is no qualification for exception, Samana is not a place outside the law."

Yan Liulang glanced sideways slightly and glanced at the indifferent expression of Mingfu's official business.

The Ming Dynasty has always left some room.

Otherwise, why would I have bothered with these people, and how would I have waited patiently several times to find out all the informants and then try to catch them all like today.

And this time, Rong Nvshi and others were not called over. It was considered that the Ming government took the lead in handling the case and kept out the people from the Supervisory Yuan.

Maybe it's because of the embroidery girl... Yan Liulang sighed softly.

Everyone did not wait for Zen Master Yizhi to speak. Instead, they waited for Fang Yiwu to kneel down behind Ouyang Rong. The latter kowtowed hard and raised his head, confessing honestly:

"The sinners plead guilty! The daughter of the sinners was bewitched by those witches in Yunmeng Jianze and did wrong things. It may be the same with Zen Master Yi Zhi. Moreover, Zen Master Yi Zhi practiced silent meditation for many years. Maybe

I can't speak anymore, I hope the governor will have a lot..."

Fang Shengnan couldn't help but say: "Dad, we..."

"Shut up!"

Fang Yiwu glared at her, his eyes filled with hatred, signaling for her to quickly plead guilty and beg for mercy.

Ouyang Rong nodded slightly and looked back at Fang Yiwu:

"Oh, is that so?"

He suddenly asked: "Are there any other Yue women in the city now?"

Fang Yiwu looked at Ouyang Rong's face and said cautiously:

"No...no more. The spies of the Yunmeng witches in the city have all been destroyed by your lord's wisdom and prowess."

Ouyang Rong looked at him carefully for a while and nodded gently:

"Okay, the attitude of pleading guilty is quite positive. You will take care of your daughter. You will take them with you later and follow General Qin to confirm whether they are all caught. If one is missed, I want you to look good.

"If you perform well, it's not that you can't be given a lighter sentence. I will ask the female historian for instructions on this matter."

"It won't leak, it will definitely not leak, we have caught them all."

Fang Yiwu nodded in agreement, looked at the calm face of the handsome governor, swallowed, and added:

"Of course, the criminals will take the little girls to identify their faces, and double check that no one will be missed."

While speaking, he couldn't help but hide the blood-stained white cloth on his palms behind his back after picking up porcelain shards in a private courtyard. Fang Juxiu and Fang Shengnan completely understood what they were hearing. They took a deep breath and looked at Ouyang.

The eyes of Rong and his father were extremely complicated, and their previous uncertainties about something were completely resolved.

Ouyang Rong nodded lightly: "Okay, let's do this for now..."

At this moment, Zen Master Yizhi, who had been listening to the two men's fight with his eyes closed, spoke hoarsely:

"Donor, why bother? Miss Xiu Niang has great wisdom and will always realize the 'one'."

The sound echoed throughout the audience. Ouyang Rong stopped immediately without turning around. He raised his hand as if to listen and spoke in a curious tone:

"What did you say? Say it again."

The middle-aged Zen master said nothing and raised his finger.

Ouyang Rong put down his hand, looked back at Zen Master Yi Zhi, and looked around the whole place. He walked back, came to Zen Master Yi Zhi and bent down. Looking at him, he slowly turned his head and squinted his eyes to take a closer look.

Look at the monk's raised finger.

The whole place fell into a dead silence, no one dared to speak.

Everyone watched as the young governor smiled and put the long piano case in his arms on the ground, gently pushed it forward with one finger, and made a "one" in front of Zen Master Yi Zhi.

He chuckled and nodded:

"You may keep raising your boring finger until the end of time, but if I find out that you have the slightest interaction with any Yue girl...whatever mother she is called...I will let you see it."

My 'one', look at my great wisdom root, it is guaranteed to make the master enlighten."

Zen Master Yizhi sighed, shook his head, and said no more.

Ouyang Rong turned around, patted his sleeves and left.

Not long after, Qin Yi entered the courtyard with his black-armored soldiers and began to detain people.

Yan Liulang stepped forward and reported them one by one.

Ouyang Rong's calm tone and arrangements were roughly as follows:

The informants caught by Taoshouzhai and Chengtian Temple were temporarily thrown into the vacated Jiuzhou Prison. The identity of the Zen master was sensitive. The current atmosphere of the Great Zhou Dynasty was Buddhist worship. The killing of an eminent monk from Xuankong Temple required reporting to the higher authorities.

It would attract the attention of the Overwatch Council and the Luoyang Court. Ouyang Rong was too lazy to go to the trouble and decided not to kill him for the time being. He asked Liulang to send people to guard him. The charge was that he was secretly hiding the Yunmeng Ling.

As for the Fang family's father and daughter, Fang Yiwu surrendered and had meritorious service. He also held down the heads of his two daughters to plead guilty and helped Jiangzhou Hall hunt down other informants of Yunmeng Yue's daughter. Depending on the circumstances, the punishment may not be pursued for the time being.
