Chapter 21: Find out
As the county lieutenant here, Ding Yuan took over the position of the county guard and had almost no objections. [No pop-ups. Even if there is opposition, it can only be angry but dare not speak. After all, Ding Yuan has military power in his hands, which is more useful than any words.
A series of major events occurred in Fujian after Gao Lin took office, and then Gao Lin also died. Ding Yuan sat in the seat of the county guard, and he could deeply feel that he had not been able to sit for a long time in this position.
The stupid big man who originally protected Gao Lin received the news of Gao Lin and his master's death one after another, and he didn't know what to do for a while. At this time, he was standing next to Ding Yuan, obeying Ding Yuan for the time being.
The entire Fujian people were panicked, and the first thing Ding Yuan did when he took office was to suppress this problem.
"Gao Lin's death was killed by his wife Liang Xue. Liang Xue was frightened after killing people and committed suicide. ”
"Liang Xue was arranged by the master to be by Gao Lin's side, and after the master succeeded, he had to take over the position of the county guard, and if you found out, you would kill him, you know?"
The big one listened to Ding Yuan's arrangement on the side, and nodded resignedly.
"That's it, remember to say that. When the emperor's investigation comes down, maybe he can give you a head start. Ding Yuan said expressionlessly.
The big man nodded again, and then followed Ding Yuan out.
As soon as he went out, a subordinate walked over and looked at Ding Yuan with a strange look.
"Lord Ding" ''Zhang Bancheng sent someone.''
"He's pretty fast." Ding Yuan thought secretly in his heart and said, "Let him send someone here, I'll hear what's going on." ”
After a period of confusion, Ding Yuan met with the person who came. If Gao Lin is alive, he should know this person, and he is the one who came to see him.
"My lord, when my master heard that your new official had taken office, he specially asked me to come and send a congratulatory gift to show his respect."
The congratulatory gift was brought up, and what surprised Ding Yuan was that there were not only gold and silver treasures, but also a few fine knives.
"This rich man is very powerful, not only is he well-informed, but he also knows what I like."
Ding Yuan laughed, his words full of irony.
The person who came pretended not to hear it, and Ding Yuan had been getting close. He came this time for two reasons, one was to have a good relationship with Ding Yuan. The second one is for the piece of jade.
This chat was fruitless, Ding Yuanwu was born in a martial arts background, and he spoke very hard. After chatting together for a long time, the man sighed and left the place.
"Come on! Gather all the officers and soldiers in this mansion for me, and now, go to Shaolin Temple! ”
Everyone was stunned, and the three fires that Ding Yuan took office did not expect to burn directly to the Shaolin Temple.
Assembled in the mansion, Ding Yuan did not rest at all, and ran out to gather people. In a short time, the county guard and county lieutenant of Fujian gathered thousands of people, and they lined up on the main road.
The people came out to see the bustling crowd, and they did not dare to get too close to the officers and soldiers.
Ding Yuan was wearing armor, holding a spear in his hand, mounted a horse, and yelled: "Go!" ”
No one dared to care, Ding Yuan took everyone to the Shaolin Temple.
It's all in Fujian, but it's not a small city. There are a lot of people going to the annex, and it will take a little time.
At this time, it was already afternoon, and it was also evening when I arrived at Shaolin Temple. No one persuaded Ding Yuan, and the complaints naturally rang out.
Ding Yuan looked angry and led people to Shaolin Temple.
He has always wanted to investigate and understand the matter of this Shaolin Temple, but the recent county guards have not done anything and have never taken this matter to heart. The previous warden left, hoping that the new warden would be able to handle the matter well. As a result, the county guard was also disturbed by those things. After thinking about it, Ding Yuan decided to kill the county guard.
The death of the master and the county guard one after another, so that he finally became the county guard, I don't know when someone will be sent from above, Ding Yuan didn't dare to stop for a moment.
In the afternoon and in the middle of the night, everyone finally came to the foot of the Shaolin Temple.
This place has long been encircled, and the place where the incense was originally abundant is now deserted.
Across a mountain, you can still feel the desolation of the mountain. I don't know how many people died here, and in the middle of the night, the wind blew and the bones hurt.
Although Ding Yuan is a rough person, he is still thick and fine. This time he brought not only soldiers, but also a Taoist priest.
The deceased is great, and the steps that should be taken will not be omitted. After letting the Taoist priest do this ritual, looking at the mountain, he was a little kinder than just now.
"My lord, we are now in the house, even if we investigate, what can we find?" Someone on the side said cautiously.
Ding Yuan glared at the man and did not answer. With a wave of the big knife in his hand, he pointed at the bare mountain.
Everyone understood, and they dismounted. Go up the hill and the horse will not be able to ride.
The big one also followed the crowd, Ding Yuan looked at it, and he was the only one in the group who could be relied on.
"Big one, you take ten people here to guard the horses, and the rest, follow me up the mountain!"
Ding Yuan gave an order and rushed up the mountain.
It was cold on the mountain, and after a few steps up the mountain, you could see the corpses on the ground. After the torture of spring, summer, autumn and winter, these corpses still maintained their demeanor and were not consumed by the wind and snow in the land.
"How many grievances are there in this mountain." Ding Yuan walked and sighed.
The further I walked up the mountain, the more I felt the cold. The weather is still warm, and the cold here is like late autumn, and the wind is biting.
As people walked, they would always step on the corpses on the ground. The crunch of corpses sounded like the last wails of the deceased before they died.
In sight, people passed all the way, and the road became brighter. If it weren't for the courage of a group of people together, they really wouldn't dare to go forward like this in this night.
Further up, there are more and more corpses. There must have been a fierce battle here, and many of the corpses were injured rather than destroyed day and night.
The more deserted the mountain, the more wild dogs poop. The corpses on the ground here, and the lack of human population, have become the favorite place of this group of wild dogs. The dog had eaten the corpse with a corpse smell on it. The green eyes are bottomless, and they are the best witnesses to the sins that appear on this mountain.
After walking for a long time, everyone finally reached the top of the mountain. Looking from afar, you can still see the big temple of Shaolin Temple. This is the most prosperous South Shaolin, the temple is majestic, and it is not comparable to ordinary small temples.
As soon as he came up, Ding Yuan felt that something was wrong.
There were so many corpses at the foot of the mountain, and when they came to this mountain, there were not many corpses. In particular, the front of this big temple is clean and clean, as if someone has specially cleaned it.
It wasn't just Ding Yuan who found it so strange. People have seen it.
"Lord Ding''Or should we wait until dawn before we go in?"
Ding Yuan thought for a while and said, "Okay, let's talk about it at dawn." ”
