"Li Jiyi, last night we uncovered many unidentified monks who are very likely to be guilty of crimes. How should we deal with them?"
"Send it to the Songyang County Government, verify the wanted status, verify the person's identity, and take him to the Criminal Department!"
While the internal guards were sorting out the evidence, Baiqi was not idle either and uncovered more than thirty criminals among the monks.
Regardless of the possible fish that slipped through the net, including those who were executed on the spot yesterday, about one-tenth of the more than 600 monks in the Shaolin Temple are fugitives, which is also an exaggeration.
Of course, even if you were not a fugitive from banditry before, as long as you pretend to be a monk without paying the ultimatum, you will be punished.
"Tang Lv Shu Yi" stipulates: Anyone who enters the Tao privately and saves him will be punished with a hundred sticks.
As a result, nearly a quarter of the monks in the Shaolin Temple need to receive these 100 sticks.
Li Yan waved his hand and asked Baiqi to escort the prisoner down the mountain. Then he looked at Zhixing and said, "If there are monks in the temple who want to leave, arrange for them to go down the mountain with Baiqi."
Going down the mountain at this time is to seek other ways. Zhixing is one of the representatives, so naturally he is very active: "The young monk understands."
Zhijian looked sad. Those who were guilty were arrested, and those who were not guilty were transferred to the temple. In this way, the Shaolin Temple was disbanded.
How could it become like this in just two days?
Li Yan also looked at him: "Gather the remaining monks together. People in the temple are now panicked. It is unrealistic to restore the past, but we must also remember that we cannot pretend to be Buddhists and retreat from the world to avoid work. We must actively mobilize
"
Zhijian clasped his hands together and took the order: "Young monk, please remember this."
Seeing the monks doing their own thing, Cui Yingong commented from the side: "I didn't expect that the Shaolin Temple would be so dirty. It's such a pity for this quiet place of Buddhism..."
Li Yan turned his head and looked at him: "Cui Si Cheng has been to Shaolin before?"
Cui Yingong nodded: "I have traveled around the world and visited this temple given by the late emperor several times. I have the impression that this temple has two major characteristics. The first is that the monks are strong and have outstanding martial arts. The second is that the mountain spring water is clear and sweet.
It tastes great.”
Li Yan raised his eyebrows slightly: "Within the imperial city, Honglu Temple is to the north of our inner guard. I have never seen Cui Sicheng before except for the Great Court Meeting. It seems that Cui Sicheng is often out?"
Cui Yingong smiled bitterly: "To be honest with Li Jiyi, our Tang Dynasty is a kingdom of heaven. All nations come to the dynasty. There are many foreign races and different customs. Many of them even have deficiencies in the Ministry of Rites. I am the Prime Minister of Honglu Temple, in charge of foreign affairs and reception, and I also have the ambition to make progress.
Therefore, I visited various places and visited many Jisi prefectures to learn about the customs of foreign ethnic groups and record and summarize them."
Li Yan expressed his approval: "Cui Sicheng has such a good intention. The openness and tolerance of the Tang Dynasty are not just about the appearance of some foreign faces, but about actively understanding the civilization and spirit of foreign races."
"Just like when Taizong ordered Master Xuanzang to write the "Records of the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty" in the past, when a visitor comes from afar, when officials receive him, they are not only concerned about what they bring to offer, but also where the country is located and how far away it is.
How far is the Tang Dynasty, how big is the population, what are the customs and customs..."
"We are not blindly wary of and rejecting foreign things, but actively understand and selectively accept them, taking their essence and discarding their dross. Then, through strong strength and self-confidence, we can influence all ethnic groups, embrace the world, and embrace the world. This
This is the magnanimity of the Heavenly Kingdom!"
Cui Yingong's pupils shrank, thinking that the Turks were now being tolerated, and that there were a large number of Turks working as obedient people in Jisifu Prefecture, guarding the border for the Tang Dynasty. He felt even more murderous in his heart, and a look of admiration appeared on his face: "Listen to what you said,
It’s better to study for ten years and be taught by an official!”
Li Yan waved his hand: "This is just lip service. To actually implement it, you have to work tirelessly like Cui Sicheng to visit capable ministers in various places."
Cui Yingong hurriedly said: "Li Jiyi is ridiculous. I have always wanted to join the inner guard to defend the Tang Dynasty, but unfortunately I haven't had the chance. Maybe this time..."
At this point, he took the initiative to pause, smiled wryly and cupped his hands: "This official has lost his composure. He is really thinking about me and can't help himself!"
His expression was sincere, straightforward, and generous. Even when he said something superficial and profound, An Shengan and others next to him didn't feel disgusted when they saw it.
Li Yan smiled: "Cui Sicheng, the saint and His Highness know people and make good use of them. Don't worry about not having a chance. Let's go!"
Cui Yingong secretly breathed a sigh of relief, recalled his performance just now, clenched the five fingers in his sleeves into fists, and followed.
When everyone came to the backyard, they were still faced with the task of sorting out the evidence. The piles of Buddhist scriptures, diaries and letters all looked intimidating, let alone reading them one by one and checking them sentence by sentence.
When Cui Yingong saw him, he stopped talking.
An Shengan smiled and said: "I'm afraid Cui Sicheng doesn't know. This is often the case when my internal security investigates cases. The real clues are always hidden in these tedious tasks. There is no shortcut."
Cui Yingong said seriously: "Please allow me, I also want to join the search work!"
Facing this sixth-grade official who could stand by and watch, but actively asked for work, I felt a little moved. The internal guards also looked at him with admiration. After all, it was so rare.
Next, Cui Yin Gong proved with his actual actions that he was not just showing off with words, but actually participated in the work of sorting out the evidence and worked hard and hard.
On the contrary, there was no trace of Li Yan. He didn't know where he went all morning. He didn't return to the temple until noon.
At this time, Zhixing and Zhijian had already taken the monks and separated.
Not to mention those fake monks who did not make ultimatums. Of the more than 400 monks who had ultimatums, most chose to leave, and in the end only a hundred or so remained.
Along the way, Li Yan saw the monks standing in front of the mountain gate, looking out but not daring to go down the mountain. They must have grown up in the Shaolin Temple and were afraid to go out, so they were willing to stay.
Zhijian also called Shaolin his home, but he went back and forth to boost morale and set up a cooking team.
There is no way, many monks who cook on the mountain have also run away, and those who are good at cooking have no worries about being taken in by monasteries.
As a result, the food for the more than 100 monks left became a problem, not to mention the internal guards, who were all waiting for three meals a day.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! When Li Yan passed by, he happened to see Zhijian leading a group of people to the dining room, and the honest monk Zhien with thick eyebrows was also in the team.
The stunned monk waved to him, followed the team, and went to cook.
Li Yan's eyes moved slightly and he returned to the backyard.
The calming sense came to him and he reported: "Rokuro, the current search is less than 12/10. At this rate, it may take six or seven days to sort it all out."
Li Yan said: "You have worked hard, and the speed is not slow anymore."
When he entered the room, he immediately saw Cui Yingong in green robe, looking at Huizang's diary attentively. He couldn't help but be a little surprised: "Cui Si Cheng? Cui Si Cheng?"
After calling twice in succession, Cui Yin Gong, who was concentrating, woke up as if from a dream, and hurriedly stood up, but staggered again.
Li Yan said: "Your energy and blood are not flowing smoothly after sitting for a long time. You might as well take a walk and do some exercise."
Cui Yingong walked a few steps, and his steps quickly became steady, showing his good physical strength that he often walked outside. He smiled awkwardly and said: "Li Jiyi, I'm rude to you!"
Li Yan asked: "Why is Cui Sicheng reading the diary here?"
Cui Yingong said: "I am a restless person. Seeing that the internal guards are busy at work and everyone is responsible, I also want to do my little bit!"
"And the impact of this case was so bad that all three cardinals were killed. If such a murderous case happened in the two capitals, if the saint knew about it, he would be furious, and the prince's benevolence would not allow it!"
"If word spreads, it may cause an uproar among the people. We must solve the case as soon as possible and bring the heinous thief to justice!"
Li Yan said: "That's true. What did Cui Sicheng see?"
Cui Yingong frowned: "This case is complicated. Shaolin Temple often sends local wealthy families to the temple to become lay disciples to practice martial arts. There are many people who have contact with these three cardinal principles. They were suddenly killed. There are so many clues that it is really difficult to judge.
…”
After feeling helpless, a look of joy appeared on his face again: "Fortunately, it was Li Jiyi who investigated the case. With the Detective of the Tang Dynasty here, our hearts are set!"
This statement was unanimously recognized by the surrounding internal guards. Li Yan laughed and said: "That's too much of a reward. In my opinion, as long as there is a chance, everyone has the potential to become a detective. For example, Cui Sicheng, you are also very knowledgeable.
You might as well analyze one or two, what is the murderer’s motive?”
Cui Yingong was stunned: "This... I don't know this!"
Li Yan encouraged: "There is no need to worry, Cui Sicheng. When I solve a case, I am often reminded by my subordinates that brainstorming is the best strategy. No one can consider everything on their own."
Cui Yingong pondered for a moment, thinking crazily. He wanted to speak something meaningful but not too concrete. Finally, he carefully considered every word and said: "In my opinion, the murderer killed all three gangs in a short time, and the techniques were so similar.
It’s completely undisguised, it doesn’t seem like there’s any personal conflict with them, maybe it’s enmity with the Shaolin Temple or hatred of Buddhism?”
Many of the inner guards were listening, but quickly turned their heads when they heard this.
It can be said that as long as people who do not believe in Buddhism see the scene of a Buddhist temple and compare it with themselves, it will be difficult for them to like it, and they are no exception.
Li Yan praised: "What Cui Sicheng said makes sense. It seems that you have extraordinary talent! Work hard. When the case is solved, I will take credit for you!"
…
"Ashna Huanri Record"
The first day of the plot to kill Tang Dynasty detective Li Yuanfang.
Li Yuanfang was a cautious person. From walking, sitting and lying down, it could be seen that his martial arts was extremely strong. It seemed that Yang Zaiwei's defeat at his hands was not a fluke.
Fortunately, I was well prepared and did not rely solely on force.
Now I have come to his side and made a good first impression.
I received a total of three compliments today. He said that I have extraordinary talents.
Good taste!
Even outsiders can see my talent, that old guy is really partial!
The plan is basically successful, just waiting to be harvested.
Other.
I had only heard about it before, but now I truly understand that internal security work is really hard.
Unlike outside rumors, Li Yuanfang does not work, which makes people very angry.
