Yan Huisheng's information was accurate. Knowing that Su Rong had brought so many people there, he should have included the Great Buddhist Temple when he left.
Therefore, when King Ruian and his people arrived outside the Great Buddha Temple more than half an hour late, they were stopped. Xiao Quanzi leaned out from behind the horse and said quickly: "The prince is one of his own family, and I have requested the permission of His Highness the Crown Prince."
Come to the Great Buddha Temple to investigate the case."
Fu Zhou was the leader arranged by Fei Ling. Hearing this, he looked at the large number of people in front of him and recognized people from the Ruian Palace and the Duke Protector's Palace. Xiao Quanzi was a close servant of the Prince of the East Palace. He even recognized them.
He nodded, "Your Majesty wants to inspect the Great Buddha Temple?"
King Ruian had already expected this and nodded, "If I had known that Miss Su Qi and Young Master Ye were coming to the Great Buddha Temple to investigate the case, I would not have bothered. It seems that my coming here is unnecessary."
Fuzhou shook his head, "Your Majesty, it is not unnecessary. My master and Young Master Ye are not at the Great Buddha Temple." He gave way and said, "Since Your Majesty has asked His Highness the Crown Prince to come to investigate the case, please do it!"
King Ruian was a little surprised at this time, "Miss Su Qi and Young Master Ye are not in the Great Buddha Temple? Then they..." He wanted to ask where they went? But he was worried that privacy was involved, so he stopped mid-sentence.
, turned a corner and said, "Okay, in that case, I will go in."
Fuzhou nodded.
So King Ruian led his men to knock on the mountain gate.
The abbot of the Great Buddha Temple came out to receive King Ruian with a white face and asked cautiously, "Your Majesty, why did you come to the temple in the middle of the night?"
King Ruian looked at the abbot's face and said with his hands behind his back: "Abbott, everyone says that family members don't tell lies, but you are doing it again and again. The last time I came, you fooled me. Now that I'm here again, I asked
If you continue to mess around with your business, I will destroy this thousand-year-old temple, do you believe it or not?"
How about confronting the people brought by King Ruian to investigate the case?
King Ruian and people from the Protectorate came to the Great Buddha Temple. After careful consideration, Fuzhou left a few people in the Great Buddha Temple. He took the rest of the people out of the Great Buddha Temple and went to Yingzui Cliff. He also came.
Later I found out that most of the monks in the Great Buddha Temple were missing. If it was as expected, they should all have gone to Yingzui Cliff to do ulterior things.
King Ruian didn't believe this. How could most of the people in the temple go out by asking for alms? He looked at the abbot coldly and said, "Abbot, do you really think that this king is a soft-hearted waste?"
There were two to three hundred monks, all of whom were strong young monks. They were very skillful and quick in loading and transporting the truck. But even so, it took a whole night to carry boxes of things, which made Su Rong sleepy.
I slept twice during this period, and it didn't seem like I had finished moving until the fifth watch.
The leading monks took a look at the time and totaled it. One of the leading monks waved his hand, and more than fifty parked carriages started to move. Each carriage passed by, and two horses pulled the four hooves of the carriage.
It looked very laborious and left deep ruts on the ground.
King Ruian will not pretend that he cannot see it. If these fifty carts of things hit him, he will naturally investigate them thoroughly.
Fuzhou's guess was correct. At this time, under the Yingzui Cliff, there were monks carrying large boxes one by one, loading them into trucks, and taking them away.
Ye Guixue pushed Su Rong to wake up and whispered in her ear: "Let's go, follow us."
"yes!"
Su Rong also remembered that when she fell asleep, Fuzhou took people to Yingzui Cliff to meet them last night and said that King Ruian also discovered something was wrong with the Great Buddha Temple and planned to conduct a thorough investigation of the Great Buddha Temple and the Protector's Mansion overnight.
The young master of Zhou sent someone to hold the token of Princess Sheng'an at the gate of the city in the middle of the night to prevent anyone from following them out of the city to cause trouble. King Ruian could only go to the East Palace to ask for the crown prince's order, because he was afraid that someone would follow them out of the city and cause trouble.
The long night and many dreams made him miss the best opportunity to investigate the case. The prince naturally agreed.
The abbot saw the murderous look in King Ruian's eyes and almost knelt down, his face pale and speechless.
The abbot was shocked and said in fear: "The poor monk dare not deceive the prince..."
Four monks escorted a carriage and circled along the deserted road at the base of Yingzui Cliff. Unexpectedly, they finally arrived at the gate of the mountain behind the Great Buddha Temple. Obviously, the boxes in these vehicles were to be moved into the temple.
But who would have thought that this group of monks worked all night last night to carry out the things from the Yingzui Cliff and return them to the Great Buddha Temple after many twists and turns.
Su Rong sneered, "It seems that our defense was in vain, these stupid monks."
Su Rong said "hey" in her heart, thinking that it would be better to come sooner than later. Now it saves her the risk of leading people to break into this sophisticated secret passage. After the monks have finished moving, let's see where these trucks go.
, she followed the clues again, and got the stolen goods together.
Su Rong also felt that there was no rush. It was more important to keep up with the monks first and nodded.
Ye Guixue also meant the same thing and nodded silently to her.
King Ruian frowned, "Why are there so few people? It's less than half of the last time I came here?"
The abbot hurriedly said: "There has been some poverty in the temple recently, and all the junior brothers and nephews have gone down to beg for alms."
"Try them one by one. Where have all those people gone?" King Ruian said with a stern voice.
She looked at Ye Guixue.
Ye Guixue also seemed a little speechless. After being silent for a long time, he speculated: "There must be someone to take care of them. Presumably these vehicles were transported into the Great Buddha Temple, and someone was picked up by the Great Buddha Temple. If you continue to stare at the Great Buddha Temple and don't alert the snake, you will definitely
Can attract people who can respond.”
He waved his hand to those around him and said, "Go and arrest all the monks. I will risk my life today and interrogate them one by one. No one will be left behind. Including those who are looking at the library."
Su Rong rubbed her eyes and asked, "Have you finished moving?"
The people from Prince Ruian's Palace and the people from Duke Protector's Palace acted quickly and soon brought all the monks from the Great Buddha Temple to King Ruian.
After he finished speaking, he thought of something and sighed, "But last night King Ruian requested the prince's request and came to the Great Buddha Temple overnight to check. People must still be in the temple now. In this way, the snakes have been eliminated."
So Su Rong and Ye Guixue took Fengling and a large number of secret guards and quietly followed the fifty carriages.
King Ruian snorted, "Now, I don't believe even a single word of what you say."
"There should be more, we haven't finished moving them all." Ye Guixue lowered her voice, "Leave a few people here to keep an eye on it. Let's follow them first. There's no rush here."
Su Rong frowned and said immediately: "Fengling, you and Yun Ze lead the people to stop these monks now and prevent them from entering the Great Buddha Temple. If the things in those boxes are extremely valuable, this credit cannot be given to Ruian."
King, it can only be attributed to the East Palace."
After she finished speaking, she said to Ye Guixue: "Guixue, you and I will take people back to the foot of Yingzui Cliff. I always feel that this matter is weird. Let's go investigate again."
Fengling and Yun Ze nodded in unison, and immediately took the people away without saying a word.
Ye Guixue also had this intention and nodded, "Okay, let's go."
