Chapter 220 The hidden warehouse next to the temple
Half an hour later, Xiao Chen and his group of seventy or eighty people arrived at the square in front of Xiangji Temple.
At the end of the square is the main hall of Xiangji Temple.
The top of the main hall is covered with brand new blue tiles. The six columns are bright red, obviously they have just been painted recently.
The door is open, and you can see many believers kneeling on the ground inside. The huge incense burner is filled with incense sticks that emit blue smoke, and clouds of smoke are lingering in the hall, like fireworks in the world.
"Wei Qianhu, do you know Wang Dachuan?" Xiao Chen jumped off the horse, stared at the hall in the distance, and asked softly.
"I know you."
"Go in and take a look alone. If there is no sign of Wang Dachuan, don't disturb others, just exit." Xiao Chen ordered softly.
Although I don’t believe in Buddhism myself, Buddhism is, after all, a kind of faith for people. There is no need to ask too much of others for faith.
"Yes." Wei Qi responded and walked towards Xiangji Temple.
After watching Wei Qi enter the main hall, Xiao Chen also walked to the edge of the square and looked at the surrounding environment casually.
To the northeast, you can vaguely see the Grand Canal. Occasionally, a ship sails on the canal, and its tall masts appear and disappear among the big trees on both sides.
Next to the canal, villages are scattered in twos and threes. The chimneys on the houses are smoking outward, and they look peaceful and harmonious.
Suddenly, a large area of neat houses appeared in Xiao Chen's field of vision.
These houses are slightly larger than ordinary houses, but there are hundreds of them in number. If you look closely, there seems to be a circle of walls hidden among the dense trees around the houses.
"What kind of place is this? Is it a dock?" Xiao Chen couldn't help but wonder.
Xiao Chen remembered that there seemed to be no dock in this area of Hangzhou Prefecture. But where was this area of houses?
"Sir, Wang Dachuan is not inside." Wei Qi's voice came from behind.
"Come on, Wei Qianhu, do you know where that house is?" Xiao Chen raised his arm and pointed to the walled house in the distance.
Looking in the direction Xiao Chen pointed, Wei Qi was a little surprised when he saw the house: "Master Qi, I don't know where this place is. It doesn't look like a village, but there is no such place in Hangzhou Mansion."
Set up any department here. Otherwise, my subordinates can bring someone over to take a look."
"No, since Wang Dachuan is not in Xiangji Temple, let's go together to see what this mysterious compound is." Xiao Chen turned around and jumped on the horse.
After four or five detours in the dense woods, everyone finally arrived at the door of the mysterious compound.
The house inside is a little higher than ordinary houses by four or five feet, but the wall outside is about the same height as ordinary houses.
On the wall, there is a fence gate more than one foot wide. Planks of wood are nailed to the fence from the inside of the yard, making it impossible for people to see what's going on inside.
There are no plaques on both sides of the gate, which makes the compound even more mysterious.
"It's so mysterious. Could it be Wang Dachuan's private warehouse? Wei Qi, lead people around the wall. If there is a small door, arrange for people to control it." Xiao Chen said softly with the corner of his mouth raised slightly.
After half a stick of incense, Wei Qi and others walked out from behind the wall on the other side of the gate: "Master Qi, there is no small gate."
"Come forward and knock on the door." Xiao Chen said.
"Bah bang bang", he walked to the fence, waved his right hand, Wei Qi slapped it a few times, and shouted loudly: "Open the door, open the door."
After a while, there was a slight sound of footsteps coming from the fence. Then, a man's voice came from inside: "Private place, no one is welcome."
"The government is handling the case. If you don't open the door, we will break down the door." Wei Qi roared again.
"Where did the government come from? If you don't get out of here, I'll send you to Hangzhou to face a lawsuit." The people inside were obviously very angry and threatened openly.
With the example of the captain of the East Factory of the Wang Family Courtyard, how could Wei Qi continue to resort to threats now?
He took three steps back, then suddenly rushed out and hit the fence gate with a bang.
The door shook a few times, but was not knocked open.
Seeing people outside really banging on the door, people inside were also very angry.
"If you break my door, I want your whole family to be buried with you."
"I want my whole family to be buried with you, because I'm afraid you don't have the strength." Wei Qi waved his hand, and the Hangzhou guards behind him rushed toward the gate.
With a "crash", the door did not fall down, but was knocked apart, and everything inside appeared in the eyes of everyone.
Two rows of neatly aligned houses stretched for dozens of feet.
The open space in the middle of the house is paved with solid bluestone flooring.
Dozens of men were holding sticks and looking at the gate with angry faces.
Standing at the front was a fat middle-aged man, with his hands behind his back and his eyes wide open. He was obviously extremely angry.
Ignoring the sawdust falling on his body, Wei Qi showed a smile on his face: "Master Wang, so this is your territory?"
"Wei Qianhu, you and I have nothing to do with each other. Did you bring someone to break down my door today? Is it He's intention?" Although he wanted to go up and slap him twice, Wei Qi must be guarding Qianhu. How much did Wang Dachuan have in his heart?
Still a little scared.
"I just came to see what is inside this mysterious compound. Unexpectedly, as a guard of Hangzhou Prefecture, I don't even know when the head of the Wang family built such a compound here." Wei Qipi smiled.
said with a smile.
With Dongchang standing behind him, Wei Qi was now fearless.
Not to mention Wang Dachuan, even if the Chief Secretary of Zhejiang is here, he is not afraid at all.
"Wei Qianhu, I am standing here now. You should already know that this is my place, right? Please ask Wei Qianhu to lead the people back. I will not argue with you about the door being broken down." Wang
Okawa suppressed the anger in his heart.
"I now know that this is the place where the head of the Wang family belongs, but I can't retreat. I want to go in and see what is in the yard and see if there is anything that violates the court's laws." Wei Qi chuckled, not giving in at all.
.
"Wei Qianhu, what if I ask you to check it out? In Hangzhou Mansion, if I remember correctly, the guards are under the control of Hangzhou Mansion." Wang Dachuan smiled faintly, but his eyes were unusually cold.
"The head of the Wang family is right. The guards are originally under the control of the Hangzhou government. However, this is not important. I must thoroughly inspect this courtyard today. Please also ask Mr. Wang to step aside, lest the sword has no eyes, if
If I hurt you, the guards will not pay for the medical expenses." Wei Qi waved his hand, and the guards behind him rushed in instantly.
Xiao Chen did not move, with a smile on his face, looking at Wang Dachuan who was a little angry.
