Dongfang Li sighed: "That's it. After about three years of copying, the small businessman began to ask him for documents involving the secrets of the imperial court and Taoism. The price was still the same. He woke up at this time, but it was too late. In the past three years, he
He copied hundreds of newspapers and notices to this Xixia merchant, and received less than three hundred taels of silver from him. He wanted to withdraw, but they would not agree. If he wanted to quit, they would write a letter to expose him, so he
It goes out of control and is controlled by others until the matter is exposed."
Zhao Ran didn't say anything for a long time. It's really a pity that the dignified Palace Supervisor sold himself unknowingly for such a small amount of money.
Dongfang Li asked again: "Do you know how he was exposed?"
"Senior Brother Li, don't be too pretentious. Did you dig out the carrots and bring out the mud?"
"That's true. This prison is amazing. Using the property provided by the cells, a nunnery was built in the suburbs. Young girls were recruited from all over the country to train them, teach them music, singing and dancing, and specialize in the secrets of the boudoir. This was done right away.
Eight years have passed, and if two people had not escaped from the nunnery three months ago, no one would have noticed this matter."
This is the second time Zhao Ran has heard about this kind of thing happening within the Taoist sect. The last time he heard it mentioned by Du Tenghui when he was under investigation in Lushan. He remembered that Du Tenghui was talking about Qingyuan Palace in Wuchang, but he didn't expect it to happen in Zhejiang as well.
But I feel relieved when I think about it. The land of fireworks in the south of the Yangtze River has always had the custom of training thin horses. Being a prisoner in a place like this is a person who has been led astray. He has power in his hands and no future.
What else can you do if you don’t enjoy yourself to the fullest?
"I have enjoyed the luxury of this prison for eight years, and now that I have been dismissed, I have achieved what I deserve."
Dongfang Li said: "If this were the case, it would not involve our Sanqing Pavilion. After the incident came out, Zhejiang Wanhua Temple and Zongguan Fangtang jointly investigated and dealt with it. As soon as this guy entered, he poured beans out of a bamboo tube.
Taking care of everything..."
"He's still a bachelor."
"He just wants a quick death."
Zhao Ran sighed secretly and then asked: "Brother Li, continue."
"The major crimes he confessed are mainly two. One is that he was forced to work as a Xixia agent for more than ten years. This is also the reason why I went to investigate the case. The Xixia merchants who instigated him have fled to no one knows where they are now. They are all in the surrounding provinces of Zhejiang.
Wanted. Secondly, according to his explanation, there are a total of twelve female nuns in this nunnery. Well, according to him, these women are called female nuns... In addition to his own enjoyment, the biggest purpose is to select and compare
An outstanding 'female nun', and then sent to the Upper Third Palace."
"Have you gone to Shangsan Palace to check?"
"Involving monks from Shang San Palace, Fang Tang could not intervene. The case was handed over to Shangguan Dongji Pavilion. So Dongji Pavilion and our Sanqing Pavilion once again formed a joint investigation team. They wanted to enter Shang San Palace, but were blocked by Chen Shandao.
"
What happened next was more intense. Li Tianshi of Dongji Pavilion and Zhao Zhenren led the investigation team to Yuanfu Palace in the capital to find Chen Shandao, the Taoist priest of Yuanfu Palace who was the chief photographer of Shangsan Palace. Chen Shandao rejected it again.
Chen Shandao's reason was that this was a frame-up made by the Jinhua Palace Supervisor. There was no evidence that these women were sent to the Shangsan Palace. The Shangsan Palace should be examined based on a confession from the Shifang Jungle Supervisor.
, this is pouring dirty water on Chen Shandao, framing his dignified heavenly master, and even more disrespectful to the Ming Dynasty! Even if the emperor and the court were established by the Taoist sect, after all, he is the emperor of the Ming Dynasty and the emperor of the Ming Dynasty.
How can you mess around with your facade?
The two sides had a dispute in Yuanfu Palace, and Chen Shandao made harsh words. If Dongji Pavilion acted without conclusive evidence, he would not hesitate to fight for his own reputation!
Zhao Ran was very excited when he heard this: "Is there going to be a fight? Chen Shandao is alone. I believe Li Tianshi and Zhao Zhenren can defeat him, right?"
Dongfang Li rolled his eyes: "What's the joke Zhiran said?"
"Haha, just kidding. What happened in the end? Is there any real evidence that can lead to the investigation of Sangong?"
Dongfang Li said: "Not really. It is indeed just the testimony of the prison. According to what he said, every year Shang Sangong will send someone to Jinhua. If they meet someone who has been trained well, they will pick one or two. If there is no one, they will
I didn’t bring any with me. A total of six were picked out in the past eight years. The key is that every time the person came, I don’t know who it was, but they all wore masks, and the ones they showed were tokens of the agreement made that year.”
"The agreement was made back then? Then how was the agreement made back then?"
"The person who went to find him back then also wore a mask. I don't know who it was. He was a monk who claimed to be on the Third Palace. He gave him five thousand taels of silver as a preparation fee. He only asked him to write a receipt and then left. His
Now he will be the receptionist of the cell, but they said at the time that if it could not be done, he would not be able to be the receptionist of the cell. If it was done well, he would be made the prison guard within three years."
"He believed it?"
"I'll give you five thousand taels of silver. All I need is a receipt, and then I'll give you two choices. If it were you, what would you choose?"
Zhao Ran said: "I will hand over the banknote."
Dongfang Li was shocked: "You are just making a point. He himself is not clean, how dare he do this?"
Zhao Ran sighed: "It seems that we really can only give it a try."
"Yes, so he tried it, and it took him a year to get it done. In the second year, he was transferred from the cell to the patrol license. In the fifth year, he was promoted directly to the prison."
"Who promoted him? Let's see if we can find out!"
"It's no use. The old supervisor who promoted him resigned three years ago and died of illness two years ago. We checked the corresponding procedures for his promotion and found that they were all in compliance with the law. We also asked the three capitals of the Taoist Palace at that time, and the three capitals were discussing matters.
, his selection was jointly nominated by the chefs and governors of the capital. The supervisor and governor agreed. After reporting to Wanhuaguan for approval, he received all the votes through public recommendation and was promoted to the throne. There is no doubt in the whole process, or we can't find it.
It’s doubtful. But it’s true that he was promoted.”
"Senior Brother Li, after listening to what you said, why do I feel a little chilly down my spine?"
"Either he encountered a scammer or he was caught in a big net."
"He spent a huge sum of five thousand taels of silver to build a nunnery, and only six were chosen in eight years. Where is such a liar? I also want to meet one."
"Haha... The True Master Hall was convened for discussion on this matter in Lushan ten days ago. The final conclusion was that Dongji Pavilion and Sanqing Pavilion could not search any monastery without conclusive evidence, even if it was a high-ranking monastery.
Third Palace. According to the words of the Great Celestial Master Yunyi and the Great Master Chang Yu, this wind must not be blown, otherwise everyone in the world will be in danger."
Zhao Ran was silent for a moment and said: "I agree."
Dongfang Li smiled and said: "Look, even you agree with this resolution... So, this matter ends here. Unless Dongji Pavilion comes up with clear evidence, the intention of searching the Shangsan Palace will definitely not be realized."
