This time it was the Ministry of Industry that had a problem.
The Ministry of Industry renovated Huguo Temple and expanded it so that Huguo Temple can accommodate more monks from all over the world to exchange Buddhist teachings.
The imperial court was determined to promote Buddhism in order to stabilize and prosper people's hearts, which gradually became impetuous and utilitarian.
The renovation of Huguo Temple is actually not a huge project. Some projects of the Ministry of Industry are outsourced, and the same goes for the repair of Huguo Temple.
Most of the private contractors who undertake projects are doing practical work, but this time the Minister of Works contacted the foreman who was once a bandit.
The Ministry of Works contracted it out, and the Minister of Works secretly collected the money and handed the project over to them.
The renovation project of Huguo Temple started for more than three months. In addition to repairing the main temple, a temple was also built next to it. However, there was a heavy rain a few days ago, and the newly built temple collapsed and was crushed to death.
There were several workers.
These workers were day laborers hired by the foreman from outside. After crushing someone to death, the foreman did not pay compensation, so the family members of the deceased started to make trouble and went to Huguo Temple.
The foreman, relying on the fact that he was on errands for the imperial court, got angry when the family members made trouble and beat three family members to death, one of whom was a pregnant woman, killing one and two.
This matter has become a big deal.
Because there was a wife of the deceased whose brother was a yamen servant in Jingzhao Prefecture. After she escaped down the mountain, she went directly to her brother's yamen servant, and the yamen servant immediately asked to see King Yin Qi of Jingzhao Prefecture.
This matter was finally revealed. Now the Jingzhao Prefecture is investigating the incident where the temple collapsed and killed people and the foreman led his men to beat his family members to death.
The Fourth Master is responsible for investigating corruption issues.
But the Ministry of Works ventilated the foreman early, and he fled and hid.
The foreman spent some time in the green forest in the early years and got to know a lot of green forest heroes. In the past, he undertook projects and some money was leaked to them.
Therefore, these people gathered together to exact revenge.
In the entire Northern Tang Dynasty, who doesn’t know the origin of Fourth Master?
Who dares to touch him?
However, this group of blind bandits thought that it would be easier to deal with the fourth master now that he no longer had the Lenglangmen. They actually kidnapped the princess while she was on her way to Mrs. Yao's house, and threatened the fourth master and the Jingzhao Mansion to stop the investigation and not to go to sea to arrest her.
Documents.
The foreman was hiding in the hills near the capital, and he kidnapped the princess so smoothly. The foreman was so ecstatic that he thought he would never be able to survive in the capital in the future, so he wrote a blackmail letter with the so-called green forest heroes, asking for cold pay.
Only after paying a million taels of silver did he let the princess go.
One million taels, once you take it, you will run away to the ends of the earth and never come back to the capital. When the sky is high and the emperor is far away, who cares about his princess and consort?
When the princess was taken away, the fourth master was at the Ministry of Industry for questioning.
Ruin Tian came to report in person, saying that the princess had been kidnapped.
The fourth master's face suddenly turned cold, and he immediately strode out with his hands behind his back, a bloodthirsty light flashed through his eyes quickly, and ordered, "Gather everyone in the Wolf Clan!"
Quickly returning to the headquarters of Lenglang Sect, he once again sat on the throne of the sect leader.
Lenglangmen has a special team for receiving reports. Once the information from all parties is gathered, the location of the bandit's hilltop, the top of Hyoscyamus Hill, will be roughly located.
The fourth master stood up, his face as gloomy as Shura, "Everyone in Dian Leng Lang Clan, no matter what errands you are doing now, leave them all behind and follow me to level the mountain of Hyoscyamus."
"yes!"
Everyone at Lenglangmen is on standby.
Rong Yue, the second in charge, also arrived quickly. The large procession did not set off in a mighty force, but one by one the horses passed through the streets of the capital and headed straight for the top of Hyoscyamus Hill.
