Chapter 25 Those who steal the hook will be punished
Hualong said:
"I came here to thank the abbot,
Returned what we lost."
Secretary Zhao couldn't help but feel a little scared. Fortunately, his office was forcibly borrowed by Hua Long, otherwise the female thief would inevitably find some hidden gifts in the safe.
Secretary Zhao said: "There will be a celebration banquet in the evening, and all the police officers who participated in the war will have a dinner together. Everyone has been very busy these days."
Hua Long felt a little lonely and said: "Now that the banknote template is back, I can go back and submit the work."
Secretary Zhao said: "Don't. The person hasn't been caught yet, and the counterfeit banknotes haven't been recovered yet. You'd better be a good person and do it to the end. Comrade Hualong, we need you."
Fat Tiger said: "Master, I don't think this group of thieves is so bad. Shui Yanzi robs the rich and gives to the poor, works for heaven, steals the offices of corrupt officials, and those few monks help the poor, print money and do good deeds.
It’s the Great Merciful and Great Compassionate Guanyin Bodhisattva who descended to earth.”
Shouqiang said: "Brother, since you have been with the master, your skills have gradually improved, and the more you use the idioms, the more correct they become."
At the celebration banquet, Master Hualong and his apprentice were extremely drunk. They could laugh a few times in their lives, but they had to be drunk when they met in a drinking fight.
The next day, the police found out a piece of news. The abbot of Izumo Temple, Shi Yanxin, was named Sima Yi before he became a monk. He had been imprisoned for several years for theft. He, the thief Fei Feng and Shui Yanzi had the same place of origin. All three of them were from this city.
A remote village in a poor county is called Hetang Village, and it is also a well-known local "thief village".
Abbot Shi Yanxin of Izumo Temple, Shui Yanzi, and Thief Cloak all come from Hetang Village, the "Thief Village".
Hetang Village is affiliated to Zhaixia Town. Since the 1990s, people from Zhaixia Town have been "skilled in unlocking and breaking into houses" all over the country. They have also been labeled with the disgraceful label of "stealing all over the country". The population is about
In Zhaixia Town, which has a population of 50,000, 1,200 people have been sentenced for theft. In Hetang Village, everyone knows how to pick locks. Fellow villagers lead fellow townsmen, older brothers lead younger brothers, and even fathers lead their children, all going in groups.
Thefts from other places. Later, the methods became more and more sophisticated. They often exchanged lock-picking techniques in the fields. There were many villagers who were able to open safes and electronic locks.
There is a thief king in this village. It is said that you only need to look at the shape of the key and you can copy a key just by relying on your memory. The thief king has many apprentices in the village, and there are also foreigners who come here to learn from him, including Shi Yanxin and Shui Yanzi.
, the Thief's Cloak may have received some advice from the King of Thieves.
Hualong, Shouqiang and Fathu visited Izumo Temple again. This time, they did not wear police uniforms, went out in casual clothes, and donated some money to the merit box. Abbot Shi Yanxin used mountain spring water
I brewed a pot of good tea and entertained Hua Long and the other three.
Abbot Shi Yanxin said: "The three donors are here specifically to drink tea this time, right?"
Hua Long said: "I came here to thank the abbot for returning the things we lost."
Abbot Shi Yanxin said: "What is it?"
Hua Long said: "You are a smart man, you ask questions knowingly."
Shi Yanxin stood up, lit a stick of wisteria incense, inserted it into the incense burner, and avoided the topic.
Shouqiang said: "Brother, tell the abbot a story."
Fat Tiger began to tell: "Once upon a time, there was a mountain, and there was a temple on the mountain. There was an old monk in the temple. The old monk and several young monks printed counterfeit money in the temple... What do you think of this story?"
Shi Yanxin said: "Can't counterfeit banknotes be recognized by others?"
Hualong said: "This old monk and several fellow villagers stole a template for printing money. The fake money they printed is no different from the real money."
Shi Yanxin said: "What did the old monk do when he printed counterfeit money?"
Hualong said: "The old monk used it to do good deeds and help the poor."
Shi Yanxin said: "Amitabha, my Buddha is compassionate."
Shouqiang said: "This is theft and a crime!"
Shi Yanxin said: "Who was stolen?"
Shouqiang said: "Country."
Shi Yanxin said: "Stealing from the country and using it for the poor, what crime is there?"
Hualong said: "He helps the government solve problems and provide targeted poverty alleviation. It seems that the old monk has the ambition to save the world."
The police had previously sent two investigators, disguised as pilgrims, to monitor every move in the temple.
The investigators found several shovels placed in the corner of the temple with dirt on them, which indicated that the monks in the temple had dug or buried something. However, the investigators searched the entire temple and found no trace of earth-moving. The investigators expanded the scope,
Searching around the temple, there was a shallow trace on the ground behind the mountain. Following the trace, I found a cave on the mountain behind the temple. The entrance of the cave had been buried with stones, sand, and covered with branches and weeds.
That trace, connecting the cave entrance and the temple, should have been left by the wires laid on the ground after the rain.
The police later discovered a gravure printing equipment, paper cutter, computer, and a large amount of banknote printing paper and ink in the cave. This entire counterfeit currency printing production line was hidden in the cave.
The investigators did not dare to act rashly and reported the situation to Secretary Zhao and Hualong over the phone.
Hua Long said: "What is hidden in the cave in the back mountain? It seems that you have to go to the Public Security Bureau to tell us clearly."
Shi Yanxin said: "
What if I don’t go?”
Hua Long and the other three wanted to arrest the abbot, but a monk stepped forward to stop him, holding a wooden stick in his hand. He was bare-chested, showing off his strong muscles. The monk didn't say a word, but raised his stick and lifted himself up in the air.
, he kicked out three kicks in an instant, with astonishing power. Hua Long retreated to dodge, and Shou Qiang and Fat Hu were kicked one after another, staggering back a few steps.
This was a monk who came from another temple and wandered here. The police never found out his true identity.
The two sides fought from indoors to the courtyard. The monk made a starting position, leaning against a rockery, and defended and counterattacked. The three people painted dragons surrounded them, and the monk's stick swept over a large area. The tiger and tiger were fierce, making it difficult for the three to get close.
Hualong recognized that the monk used the Shaolin Liuhe stick technique.
Shaolin Liuhe Gun is a combination of six kinds of stick techniques, which is suitable for actual combat. Its characteristics are: close combat, simple stick techniques, direct fast attack, and victory with one move. Shaolin Liuhe Gun has always been the secret treasure of the Shaolin Temple.
Revised and perfected by eminent monks of all ages, the stick technique has become more sophisticated and refined.
Hua Long said: "Take his stick first."
Fat Tiger rushed forward regardless of his own safety, and Slender Qiang supported from the right side to outflank him. The monk did not retreat but advanced, slashed forward with a stick, and hit Fat Tiger's nose, which broke the bridge of Fat Tiger's nose.
Fat Tiger covered his nose and screamed, losing his fighting power in an instant. The monk then struck back with his stick, hitting the thin and strong calf bone, which hurt the thin and strong man to the bone. At this time, Hualong had already arrived in front of him, and the monk put the wooden stick in his hand.
He suddenly stretched forward and feinted, deliberately tempting Hualong to grab the stick, and then twisted the stick, so that Hualong had to let go. Then, the monk made a vicious move, tilting the end of the stick towards Hualong's crotch, and Hualong
The dragon retreated hurriedly, and the monk used his stick to prop himself on the ground and rolled over the painted dragon's head.
These few tricks allowed him to win in a dangerous situation, and he was so dazzled that he defeated three people one after another.
Shou Qiang endured the pain and attacked again. Hua Long turned around and kicked him sideways. The monk raised his stick to block it, and used his strength to jump back and escape from the encirclement.
Hualong and Shouqiang pursued, but the monk's stick skills were intensive, fast and brave, and he retreated while fighting. The two could not get close at all. In this fierce fight, his clothes were not even touched...
At this time, Secretary Zhao rushed to the temple with a team of armed police. As soon as Secretary Zhao entered the mountain gate, he fired a warning shot. In the chaos, the monk climbed over the courtyard wall and fled.
Abbot Shi Yanxin said: "I'll go with you and wait while I change my clothes."
Abbot Shi Yanxin took off his monk's robe and found a layman's casual clothes to wear. He was handcuffed and walked to the Guanyin Hall. He knelt down and bowed devoutly to the Bodhisattva. The Bodhisattva was sitting on the lotus platform, holding a pure vase of willows, with his face
