It's the twelfth lunar month, and the north wind is hunting.
The King of Qin officially appointed Zhu Tong as a counselor in political affairs and ordered him to re-examine the cases uncovered in the safe of Fuyuntang. The Queen Mother and the Queen Mother's brothers were scolded by their sisters and banned from leaving the house. Zhu Tong shook his head: "How many
The case is related to them, but it was avoided like this."
The safe in Fuyuntang was finally opened, and the case suddenly came to light. The entire Qin court was in panic. The door of the Zhu Mansion was open, and no one who came to hand over the film was seen. The corner doors of the back door were guarded by General Iron, and no one was allowed in. Even so, everything happened in one night.
I don’t know how many letters were thrown in through the crack in the door.
Zhu Wei was the first to arrest more than 20 officials. The first person to be interrogated was Zhang, the academic governor, who was a well-known scholar in the world. Zhu Wei retreated, not even taking any civil servants with him, and just sat in front of the hall by himself.
Mr. Zhang lowered his head and wept silently. Zhu Wei coughed twice and said, "Sir Zhang, I heard that you studied at Cangzhou Donghai Academy when you were young, and later obtained the 28th place of the second-class Jinshi. Do you think this is correct?"
Mr. Zhang was stunned and raised his head. He saw Zhu Wei winking at him. Mr. Zhang was convinced. "Exactly."
Zhu Weidao stroked his beard and said: "I have been friends with Mr. Wu Rui for many years..." Before he finished speaking, Master Zhang had a look of surprise on his face. Zhu Wei coughed twice more, "Donghai Academy has a rigorous academic style, and all the students taught are excellent.
Officials are honest and honest. Mr. Zhang was also a famous and honest official in our Qin State earlier. Who tricked you into accepting bribes and helping others to cheat on scientific examinations?"
When Mr. Zhang heard this, wasn't he blatantly urging himself to put the blame on others? He immediately said, "It's Mr. Bi, the boss of Fuyuntang. He was the one who instigated me!"
I co-authored this piece. My dear, I love Mi Fu's calligraphy and painting. Last year, he happened to meet a man in a very small calligraphy and painting shop with a calligraphy for sale on consignment. It was an authentic work by Mi Fu. Master Zhang immediately wanted to buy it, not wanting anyone else to take a fancy to it.
The two people bid for this calligraphy, and Mr. Zhang lost miserably. The man had a fat head and big ears, and was covered in gold and silver. He was vulgar. Thinking that Mi Xiangyang's calligraphy treasure fell into the hands of this man, Mr. Zhang was very upset. Who knew that he would only be three or five years old?
A few days later, one of his students saw this calligraphy at the home of his nemesis Master Zhou. It turned out that the nouveau riche bought the calligraphy as a gift. Master Zhou also knew that Master Zhang loved Mi Xiangyang the most, so he showed it off to him when he had nothing to do.
Mr. Zhang became increasingly depressed.
Some days later, someone in Ping'an Prefecture paid a lot of money to buy an authentic copy of Mi Fu, and asked someone to give it to Mr. Zhang, just to ask him for a small favor. The person who asked him to do it was Mr. Bi from Fuyuntang.
This person persuaded him with a eloquent tongue, saying: "If Mr. Zhang doesn't agree, I won't be able to ask Mr. Zhou." Mr. Zhang asked him to persuade him. He didn't want Mr. Bi to take advantage of Mr. Zhang's shortcomings and refuse to let him go.
He. In the provincial examination last year, Mr. Zhang and Mr. Zhou worked together to help people cheat and got a lot of benefits. At that time, Mr. Zhang knew that Mr. Zhou accepted Mi Fu's words because he was instigated by Mr. Bi, just to cause trouble for Mr. Zhang.
Due to disagreements between their colleagues, they both fell into the hands of Mr. Bi.
After hearing this, Zhu Wei said kindly: "Everyone has weaknesses. This guy named Bi has evil intentions, and I can't blame Master Zhang." Master Zhang suddenly felt that there was hope for escape, and he scolded Thief Bi repeatedly.
Afterwards, he interrogated several officials, but they were all dragged into the trap by this man surnamed Bi in various ways. Then he put a reward for the capture of Mr. Bi's figure. The co-author surnamed Bi didn't even tell anyone his name. He was stunned.
He made waves in Chang'an City for a year or two.
When he returned home that night, Zhu Wei took the confession and sighed with emotion: "I didn't expect to be able to interrogate the Marquis of Ping'an. As long as I can ask him when something happens, or ask the prince to ask him. Now he is banned.
He could only stare." When he was safe, he told the Queen Mother that he had received one thousand five hundred taels of silver from Zhu Wei that day before he went to rob the Fuyuntang case with Zhu Wei. Although the Queen Mother was not very convinced, her face remained calm.
Pretending to believe it.
Zhu Tong said: "The master behind Fuyuntang must be Lord Ping An. My uncle will leave him alone for now. When we find out the official Bi, we will naturally have evidence."
Zhu Wei said: "How do you dare to conclude that it is him?"
Zhu Tong chuckled and said: "This plan of Shu is very straightforward. If Nuwa wants to defeat the Yin Shang Dynasty, she must first send Daji to deceive the Lord. The King of Qin is young and has the Queen Mother, Mr. Cui and others around him, so there is nothing he can do.
They had no choice but to hook up with the emperor's relatives and officials and ask them to do evil things to defeat the Qin family. If I were him, if I wanted to recruit someone to start a business like Fuyuntang, I would pick him up.
Marquis of Ping'an - The King of Qin respects his grandmother the most, the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother have only one biological brother, so even the King of Qin does not need to be afraid."
Zhu Wei frowned and said: "How did the capital find out that the Shu Kingdom was behind this incident?"
"I haven't found it out," Zhu Tong said, "Jia Cong guessed it. The embroidery shop in Xianyang was named after auspiciousness and sold Shu embroidery. The uncle of the Shu Kingdom used Situ Cen's name to seize people's property outside, and bought the most.
One of the cheapest properties was the Jixiang Embroidery Workshop, which cost twenty taels of silver. Later, when exchanging letters, Jia Cong took this incident as an allusion and laughed at Situ Cen. Qin and Shu were adjacent to each other, and the Shu Kingdom was reminded by the Chinese Federation.
If you join forces with others to form an alliance, it is easy to pick on Qin. Besides, if you want to find out the preferences and weaknesses of so many people, no powerful country can support it. Excluding the south, the richest countries are Yan, Shu, and Liao.
The two concubines favored by the Russian king are both Liao girls. Their prince also has a noble girl from the Liao country who has grown up with him since childhood. It is obvious that the king of Liao's thoughts are not at home. Both of us are the masters of the Yan country. The rest.
Isn't it the Kingdom of Shu?" He raised his eyebrows and said, "He actually helped us. Originally, Liu Feng and I changed shifts in the past two years to leave room for them to cause chaos."
Zhu Wei frowned for a long time and sighed: "Your Majesty is too young and his temper is not strong enough. The King and Queen Mother are always protecting Ping An. After this matter is over, I am afraid that something else will happen again."
Zhu Tong smiled and said, "Isn't that just right?" Zhu Wei was stunned. He thought for a while and didn't understand. He didn't bother to ask him, so he waved his hand and gave up.
Two flowers bloomed, one on each side. Liu Jing was no longer at home at this time. Early yesterday morning, he led people to Qinghua Mountain with Eunuch Li who was beside the King of Qin and Aunt Feng who was beside the Queen Mother.
A group of people first went to Bodhi Temple to inquire about Master Huipan.
It turns out that someone calculated that Master Huiban would definitely get a son-in-law. She had been growing her hair for more than two years and was waiting to return to secular life. Not long ago, a grandson of the Jin Dynasty came to Qin to visit and accidentally saw her name in Huiban's home. This grandson
The word "love" is like crazy. When he heard that it was written by a woman, he immediately wanted to marry her. Hui Pan's father hurriedly sent someone to take her back, but he had no time to tell Bodhi Temple. The people in the temple thought she was missing and searched for her a lot. Now.
Hui Ban has gone back to the Kingdom of Jin with the prince and grandson, and her whole family has also gone to heaven to become relatives of the Jin Kingdom. A few days ago, Hui Ban sent people to deliver five scrolls, which were promised to the King of Qin on behalf of the Queen Mother.
The Diamond Sutra that I copied is now being offered in front of Guanyin Master’s throne.
Eunuch Li and Aunt Feng were stunned after hearing what the old lady said. The hostess accompanied them to the Guanyin Hall, and sure enough they saw incense, candles and other objects on the altar table offering scrolls. When they opened it, they saw that it was indeed the Diamond Sutra in Hui Ban's handwriting.
Eunuch Li then took the initiative, packed the baggage, and left.
At the entrance of the nunnery, Liu Jing asked Aunt Feng: "Will the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother still interact with her in the future?"
Grandma Feng shook her head and said: "Master will never pay attention to such a person who has no Buddha heart."
Liu Jing glanced back and said with a half-smile, "Then the respect of these sisters-in-law will be wasted?" Grandma Feng's face became more and more ugly, and she got on the sedan without saying a word.
After they left, the hostess returned to the abbot's room. There was a peasant woman in brown clothes standing in the room. She raised her hands and said to her, "Thank you, Master, for your help." The old lady recited the Buddha's name. The woman said, "Master Huipan had a difficult life.
If we hadn't met the King and Queen Mother, we wouldn't have had this difficulty. From now on, Bodhi Temple will have nothing to do with the prince and his family, and your nunnery will be quiet."
The old lady said: "Please also ask the donor Yinuo to return Huiban's body to the nunnery."
The woman nodded: "It will be delivered tomorrow. Don't tell her family. She probably doesn't want to see her father and brother again in heaven." The old lady recited another Buddhist chant.
Qinghua Mountain is not big, but the road is difficult to walk. Liu Jing and others searched for a whole day, but could not find anything similar to the map. They stayed at the Reclining Buddha Temple that night. They took the map they found from Fuyuntang to the abbot.
Look, he didn't see where the painting was.
The next day, Liu Jing got up early to practice boxing. There was a peasant woman leaning outside the courtyard and looking around. Soon Eunuch Li, Grandma Feng and others all got up. They all knew that Liu Jing was the daughter of Liu Tong, the overlord of the Lu State, and they would still meet her when they saw her.
Everyone gathered around to see his martial arts skills. When he finished practicing, he stopped his fists and feet, and everyone applauded in unison. Liu Jing smiled slightly and made a group salute.
The peasant woman looking at the door slowly said: "Nothing."
A young eunuch who had followed Eunuch Li to serve Eunuch Li shouted: "How dare you! Where did the village woman come from? Why don't you step out!" Two guards came out to drive them away.
Liu Jingdao: "Wait a minute! Are you saying that I am no good?"
The peasant woman thought for a while and said: "It's better than ordinary people. It's not that you are fancy, your moves are all practical. It's just that you are too weak. You can only scare the scholars and boys. You can't beat anyone with a little bit of ability."
Liu Jing looked at her and said, "This aunt must have some skills. How about making gestures?"
The peasant woman raised her head and looked at the sky: "Oh, how long has it taken you? I still have to deliver firewood to the next house. I'm leaving, I'm leaving!" She picked up her feet and ran.
Liu Jing said with a smile: "Auntie, wait a minute! I have something to ask you!" The peasant woman ran very fast, as if she was flying. Liu Jing shouted, "Please help me look at this picture. If you recognize it, thank you.
You have two taels of silver!"
The peasant woman immediately stopped and turned around: "Seriously?"
"really."
The peasant woman ran back.
Liu Jing said to Eunuch Li and Aunt Feng: "This aunt is obviously from the mountains. Since she is busy delivering firewood to various places, she knows the roads well. Some remote paths are recognized by woodcutters and farmers, but the masters in the temple may not have walked there.
." Both of them said, "Very well, Mrs. Zhu has thought carefully."
Then he led the peasant woman into the house and took out the map to show her. After just one glance, the peasant woman smiled and said, "You won't know this if you ask others. This is what it looks like when standing on the top of the Three-Day Gate and looking eastward.
Remote."
Liu Jing and the two men looked at each other, pointed to a house on the map and asked, "What is this place? Do you know?"
"I know." The peasant woman said, "There was originally a small temple, Lanruo Temple. Last autumn, the monks in this temple suddenly wanted to move, saying that someone paid a large price to buy their temple. Now it has been changed into a nunnery called
Fengci'an is so mysterious that even firewood is only delivered to the door and no one is allowed in. One time, I was curious and sneaked in to take a look, and I only saw two sisters-in-law who were practicing Buddhism with their hair on. They were so beautiful."
"What did you say to them?"
"No, there was an old lady who was practicing Buddhism with her hair and came out in a hurry to chase me away."
Liu Jing thought for a moment and asked, "Have you ever seen a man inside?"
The peasant woman said: "We are busy cutting and delivering firewood day and night, how can we have time to pay attention to that? I never saw it when delivering firewood."
Liu Jing nodded. "Excuse me, how to get to Fengci Temple?"
The peasant woman rolled her eyes and waved her hand: "I'm very busy and I have to send it to the next family."
Liu Jing smiled and said, "If you help us lead the way, we won't have to delay you for too long. You will still send firewood when you come back. I thank you for the five taels of silver."
The peasant woman clapped her hands and said, "Sure enough, the Temple of the Reclining Buddha is different! It's so generous. Since that's the case, I'll go out and take you there."
Liu Jingxiao cupped her hands and said, "Thank you, auntie, for your hard work."
Then he asked the peasant woman to wait outside while they went back to the house to change clothes. Aunt Feng smiled at Liu Jing and said, "Mrs. Zhu is so smart."
Liu Jing said sternly: "Mom, father-in-law, let her show you the way later, give her the money and send her away. Don't ask her name."
Eunuch Li asked curiously: "Why is this?"
Liu Jingdao: "I'm better than ordinary women these days, but she doesn't like me. I'm afraid I have some background and live here in seclusion. It's better to do less than to do more." Both of them nodded in agreement.
After changing clothes, the peasant woman led the way, and Liu Jing and others followed on horseback and in sedan chairs. After walking on the mountain road for half a day, a row of neat stone steps suddenly appeared in front of them. The peasant woman said: "This road was also newly built last year. Originally,
They are all dirt roads.”
Climbing up the steps, you will find Fengci Nunnery on the mountainside. The house in this nunnery is dilapidated and has obviously not been repaired for many years. There are quite a few houses to look at, and the sound of knocking wooden fish and chanting scriptures can be heard faintly inside. Liu Jing stood at the door for a while.
He took out five taels of silver and gave it to the peasant woman and sent her away.
Eunuch Li asked in a low voice: "Mrs. Zhu, can you see anything?"
Liu Jingdao: "Usually Buddhist temples and nunneries open their gates early in the morning, but the door of their nunnery is closed." She sniffed, "My father-in-law and grandma, smell the smell wafting out of here. Tan, Yun, Su, Shen, Musk
, fennel, storax, and turmeric are all available. My family can’t afford so many kinds of spices. I also built the bluestone steps just now in such a secluded place. This nunnery is not an ordinary wealthy one. But look at this door.
——" She stretched out her hand and pointed. The door of the nunnery was originally painted, but now it was mottled. She said lightly, "Does it look like the door of Fuyuntang?"
Both Li and Feng took a breath. Without waiting for them to speak, Liu Jing raised his foot and kicked open the door of the nunnery with a bang and walked in. Others had to rush to follow.
When they walked into the lobby and took a look, everyone was stunned: the front of the hall was full of sisters-in-law who were practicing spiritual practice with their hair crossed legged. The sisters-in-law stood up in fright and competed with each other.
