At three o'clock, the army surrounded Xiangjiang Temple.

He Jingyan held the sword of Shang Fang, and ordered the monks of the whole temple to quickly go to the temple gate to catch the remnants of the king of Hunan, and sent soldiers to search the whole temple.

Darkness shrouded Xiangjiang Temple, the night was deep, and the dissatisfied complaints of monks were heard everywhere.

He Jingyan said loudly: "Xiangjiang Temple was the captain of the personal soldiers under the command of the Hunan King of the Kai Dynasty before he became a monk, and after serving as the abbot, he sent food and clothing to the Hunan Wang's army for more than ten consecutive years. ”

The fat monk who was standing in front of the monk and wearing a very conspicuous red robe took two steps back, his eyes rolled wildly, his eyes flickered, and he said angrily: "This abbot is the abbot in charge of the three temples canonized by Buddhism, and he is not subject to the laws of the imperial court. ”

He Jingyan Shangfang's sword was unsheathed, the snow flashed brightly in the dark, the sword pointed at the law, his eyes shot and killed, and shouted: "Those who despise the court will be killed!" ”

Li Yunqing led ten tigers to rush forward like hungry tigers, and wanted to capture them alive on the spot.

He turned around and fled, shouting, "The monks of the whole temple are trying their best to stop the pursuit of the officers and soldiers. This abbot wants to go to the Chang'an Buddhist Temple to complain! ”

There are a total of forty warrior monks in Xiangjiang Temple, except for more than a dozen old warrior monks who are disciples of the former abbot, the rest of the young warrior monks are all carried by the abbot after the abbot, and they are not afraid of the army, and they have rushed out from the monks to block them.

He Jingyan was murderous, waved his big hand, and shouted: "On the crossbow arrow team, don't count the killing!" ”

Li Yunqing ordered: "Stand back." "With ten Tiger Runners, he quickly flashed to the side.

Forty Tiger Ben soldiers rushed forward with a shout, kneeling on the ground in the front row and standing in the back row, and quickly opened their bows and shot white feather iron-headed arrows, but in a few breaths, they shot more than twenty young warrior monks into a hornet's nest.

At this time, if the seriously injured military slaves of the Hou Mansion were present, they would find that the warrior monks who died under the military crossbow arrows were half of the warrior monks who said in the mountains and forests this morning that they were hunting black bears for the Great Medicine Master.

The monks of Xiangjiang Temple did not expect the Tiger Ben Army to be so powerful, and they immediately shrank their necks in fright, and they were silent.

Li Yunqing knelt down and said solemnly: "General, there is no law on the order to hunt down and kill the guilty monk." ”

He Jingyan ordered: "You lead fifty people to chase and kill the law, and if you live to see people die, you must see corpses!" ”

Li Yunqing was ordered to chase after the fifty Tiger Ben soldiers in the direction of the legal escape.

He Jingyan's eyes were gloomy, he looked around at the monks, and said coldly: "Xiangjiang Temple first rebelled against the king of Hunan in the Kai Dynasty, and then disobeyed the holy decree and contempt the imperial court, sealed the temple, and tied up all the monks and brought them back for thorough investigation!" ”

There are as many as tens of thousands of pilgrims in Xiangjiang Temple every year during the Chinese New Year, and Li Bing is afraid that the temple will be closed before the year, and the pilgrims will make trouble, so he will prepare to start again after the New Year.

Who knew that Xiangjiang Temple thought that Li Bing was afraid of Buddhism, so he took the initiative to provoke and sent more than a dozen warrior monks to the mountains of Houfu Feng to catch black bears, and refused to heal the military slaves.

Immediately provoked Li Bing, and directly sent He Jingyan to Tanzhou Academy with the sword of Shang Fang to transfer 1,600 soldiers to arrest people and seal the temple.

There are 2,000 guards in Tanzhou Academy, and He Dong is directly stationed from Chang'an to Tanzhou, and they are replaced every three years.

The sergeant of the Guardian Army has almost no contact with Xiangjiang Temple, and is not afraid of someone reporting the news.

At present, Tanzhou Academy is closed for the winter, and most of the students have left the academy to return to their hometowns, so Li Bing only left 400 people for the academy and transferred 1,600 people.

The sergeant of the Guardian took out the ropes that had been prepared in advance and divided the more than 700 monks into 14 groups.

The Tiger Benjun searched the monastery and posted a notice on the wall of the monastery's gate.

More than a dozen pilgrims who had lived in the incense room in the courtyard of Xiangjiang Temple for a long time rushed to question He Jingyan when they heard the sound, and some even scolded him.

How could the soldiers of the Tiger Ben Army let these people mess around, pulled them to the wall of the gate one by one, held torches high and followed the notice, "When you open your eyes and see clearly, Xiangjiang Temple has secretly sent the incense money donated by pilgrims and the grain produced by the fertile land given by the imperial court to the army of the Hunan King of the Kai Dynasty for more than ten years. ”

When the pilgrims saw the notice stamped with the seal of the governor of Hunan Province, they still shook their heads in disbelief and shouted, "How is this possible? ”

He Jingyan said loudly: "There are dozens of letters from the abbot of Xiangjiang Temple who are legally in contact with the king of Hunan, and three of the important letters are being rubbed and will be posted in the major cities of Hunan Province within two days. ”

An hour later, Li Yunqing came back with the Tiger Benjun carrying the legal corpse.

When the monks saw that the law of martial arts had died like this, their expressions were different.

Li Yunqing whispered in He Jingyan's ear: "The legal martial arts are extremely high, and it was Jing Daogu, the deputy master of Qingyunguan, who shot him to death. ”

Why is the deputy master of Taoist Qingyun Temple, Jing Daogu, here?

It turned out that Li Bingming sent the guards of Tanzhou Academy to surround Xiangjiang Temple, and secretly transferred 200 Hunan Provincial troops and Qingyunguan martial arts aunts and martial artists to guard the various paths leading to Yinshan in Xiangjiang Temple, so that the legal wings could not escape, and his life ended tonight.

If it weren't for the proper arrangement, He Jingyan would not have sent Li Yunqing to take the risk to chase and kill the law.

"Withdraw!" He Jingyan ordered that 100 people be left to guard Xiangjiang Temple, and the rest of the army quickly went to the official road, leaving the Xiangjiang Temple in darkness far behind.

Li Yunqing took 20 tiger runners to drive the carriage and returned, taking advantage of the darkness of the night, into the medicine animal park in the mountain behind Xiangjiang Temple, and put the two black bears, two tigers, four roe deer, three pairs of musk deer and other medicine beasts in iron cages and put them on the carriage.

Before dawn, the rare medicinal beasts of Xiangjiang Temple appeared in Li Jingjing's medicinal beast garden.

Not long after Li Yunqing left, Li Huan and Li Xi arrived carrying a soft sedan chair, and Li Jingjing, who was sitting inside, hurriedly got off the sedan chair and asked the two women to sentry and put the black bear, roe deer, musk deer and other medicine beasts into the rejuvenation medicine mansion.

Two male and female black bears were beaten all over their bodies by the warrior monks of Xiangjiang Temple yesterday, and they were supposed to be cut off by the great pharmacist of Xiangjiang Temple today.

Fortunately, fate should not be extinguished, Xiangjiang Temple suffered a great change, not only did they not die, but they were also put into a good place like the Aphrodisiac Mansion.

In the future, the jade and medicine rabbits in the medicine house will use spells to extract their bile, so that they will not suffer a little pain.

On the same day, the closure of Xiangjiang Temple spread all over Hunan Province.

The Di family learned about this from Di Yujie's mouth, and Di Jiang, who was the head of the family, was extremely shocked.

"The gentleman's actions are resolute and resolute, which is really admirable." Di Jiang knew that Li Bing would fight back against Xiangjiang Temple, but he didn't expect it to be such a big deal.

He immediately sent two personal servants to ride horses to the gate of the Tanzhou City Mansion to read the notice.

Half an hour later, the two servants returned to report the notice, reciting the contents of the notice word for word, and relaying the comments of the common people in the streets and alleys.

"When the king of Hunan was in power at the beginning of the dynasty, he fished and fleshed the people, looted the people's fat and ointment, bullied men and women, and did all kinds of evil, and the people of Tanzhou Mansion hated him one by one."

"Xiangjiang Temple gave a steady stream of incense and silver money donated by the people and the grain from the fertile land given by the imperial court to the king of Hunan, which was enough to feed thousands of troops for more than ten years."

"The people are all to blame for the fate of Fa Zheng, and there must be many monks in Xiangjiang Temple who know about this matter, and the temple is already light, and they should be exiled to the north."

Di Yujie snorted coldly: "Xiangjiang Temple doesn't even have the money to repair the houses for the tenant farmers, and the mountains and forests belonging to the temple have suffered several mud losses in the past ten years, flooding the houses where the tenant farmers live, and dozens of tenant farmers have died. Xiangjiang Temple is full of incense, where did the silver money go, it actually supported the army of the Xiangjiang King of the Kai Dynasty. ”

He had mentioned this matter in his secret letter to He Dong before. He Dong asked him not to investigate deeply.

He guessed that there was a big secret hidden in it, and it would put him in danger.

Di Jiang said slowly: "In a few days, the New Year will be celebrated, and Hunan Province must not be in chaos." He sent a notice and posted a letter of collusion between Fa Zheng and the king of Hunan, which was conclusively incriminated, so as to prevent thousands of pilgrims from rushing from all over the country to offer incense in the New Year, and to stop the pilgrims' dissatisfaction and riots. ”

A day later, the 12 monks in charge of the property and food of the Xiangjiang Temple and the 23 monks mentioned in the letter of Fa Zheng colluding with the king of Hunan confessed their guilt in prison.

The evidence of Xiangjiang Temple's rebellion against the imperial court is overwhelming, and many pilgrims have changed their Buddhist attitudes. The people of the Hunan Provincial Buddhist Branch were helpless.

At this time, the subordinates of the Hou Mansion began to get busy, seeing that the New Year was about to be, and it was the first year of the Li family in Tanzhou Mansion.

The He family was so busy that he couldn't sleep for two nights in a row, and his appetite had plummeted, and that was the case, and he had never made the slightest mistake in managing the entire mansion.

Li Laoshi's errand in Tanzhou Academy is also busy, the college has to prepare New Year's gifts for the guards, doctors and teachers who have stayed behind, and also give last year's gifts and thanks to those who have supported the college in the past year. Although he does not go to the purchase himself, he checks the price of each batch.

The He family sent Li to go to various mansions to give New Year's gifts, Li Yunxiao went to Qujia Village to give New Year's gifts, and Li Jingjing sent him to Tanzhou Guogong Mansion often.

Qin Yue said in a rough voice: "My Jing Niang, your aunt is smiling a lot when she sees you." Stay in the house tonight and talk to your aunt. ”

Li Jingjing looked up at Qin Yue, who was like a small mountain, and blinked, "Uncle, you seem to be fat again." ”

Qin Yue grinned, revealing two rows of snow-white teeth that were completely different from his complexion, and said, "I've been busy with the affairs of the house these days, and I'm worried that my appetite is bigger than before, so I'm fat." ”

Li Jingjing exclaimed: "Uncle is in charge of the affairs of the entire Tanzhou Guogong Mansion, it's really amazing." ”

"Don't listen to him bragging." He Huishu sat upright on the chair and said, "He let your brother Ye take care of it." ”

In previous years, there were many and complicated things in the mansion, just to prepare gifts for a large number of relatives in the Chang'an Mansion, it took a lot of thought, and the Chang'an Mansion married Lu to Qin Yue's two sisters-in-law's mansions, and then there were officials and celebrities in Hunan Province and Tanzhou.

Something that is taboo in every family, if it appears in the New Year's ceremony, it is very rude.

Since she was pregnant this year, Qin Yue took the initiative to take over the housekeeper's affairs. Qin Yue has no experience as a housekeeper, every time he gives an order, the housekeeper and the housekeeper's mother-in-law should be ordered at that time, and he has to ask her if he feels inappropriate.

There are too many things about the New Year's ceremony, and the housekeeper and the housekeeper can't ask her old, so they ask Qin Minye instead.

"Whoever is in charge of our father and son is the same." Qin Yue laughed embarrassedly.

On the twenty-fifth day of the lunar month, the three seriously injured patients of the Houfu Pharmacy were all out of danger, and their families were very grateful to Li Jingjing. Li Shan sent them out of the house.

The He family sent people to send 20 pigs to the 200 military slaves in the house to eat for the New Year, and the ten households ate one pig, and one household could get more than ten catties of pork.

On the twenty-sixth day of the lunar month, Li Bing sent He Jingyan as the supervisor and Qu Kuaishou as the deputy supervisor to behead 39 monks on the rocky beach of the Xiangjiang River.

Among the onlookers, more than a dozen pilgrims were so emotional that they rushed into the forbidden area to make trouble, and they were all arrested by the Tiger Benjun.

After He Jingyan's execution, he sent soldiers to tie up more than a dozen pilgrims and take them to the notice board of the Tanzhou government, so that the people who could read and write read aloud the testimony posted on the wall.

More than a dozen pilgrims already knew the content of the testimony of the Taoists, but they were already obsessed with Buddhism in their hearts, and they were provoked by people with ill intentions, and they drilled the horns, and always believed that Fazheng and the thirty-nine monks should not die.

"Master instructed me not to torture pilgrims, nor to send pilgrims to prison." He Jingyan sent his own soldiers to report the matter to Li Bing.

"These people are stubborn, you need to know that making trouble is a capital crime, and not beheading them on the spot is already a side of the net." Li Bing's eyes shot a cold light, and he waved his hand: "Even if they say that they are dedicated to the Buddha, then the whole family has entered Buddhism, and they will not be allowed to return to the world for five years, and they will not be allowed to participate in scientific examinations or hold official positions for fifteen years after returning to the world, and all their family wealth will be donated to the tenant farmers of Xiangjiang Temple." ”

On the same day, more than a dozen pilgrims were stripped of their robes by the Tiger Benjun, changed into monks' robes, and sent them to the monastery in the north.

These pilgrims were all from wealthy families, and their identities were officials of the Kai Dynasty and wealthy merchants in counties and towns.

Hao Ye sent officers and soldiers to raid their homes, let all their family members change into monks' clothes, and then sent them to the Beidi Monastery.

When the news spread, the pilgrims' families who wanted to jointly name the monks of Xiangjiang Temple to sue the emperor were all frightened, and hurriedly persuaded the pilgrims not to care about the affairs of Xiangjiang Temple and the whole family.

On the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month, the warrant of the lord of Baiyun Temple in Chang'an was escorted to Qingyun Temple by six martial artists.

The content of the warrant: Exempt Guangxuanzi from the position of the master of the temple, and transfer him back to the Baiyun Temple as soon as possible. mentioned Zijing Daogu as the master of Qingyun Guanguan. dismissed the Taiqing Guanshi as the master of the view, and promoted him to the Qingyun Temple as the deputy master. Transferred Taiqingguan Guangmingzi to Qingyunguan as a great pharmacist.

"Poor Dao congratulates Senior Sister Gaosheng!" Guangxuanzi looked at Zi Jingpi and smiled.

He and Zi Jing have always been at odds, and this time he was dismissed from the position of the master of the temple without preparation, and Zi Jing was promoted to the master of the view, so it is strange that he can be happy in his heart.

Zi Jing looked at him calmly and said, "Your return to the headquarters is also a high promotion, and you are happy." ”

"Guangxuanzi, you pack your luggage and return to Chang'an with us." The Taoist priest led by the six martial artists from Baiyun Temple was very high, and Guangxuanzi and Zijing called him his uncle.

His martial arts have reached the realm of supernatural transcendence, and the three Guangxuanzi are not opponents.

Guangxuanzi didn't have time to say goodbye to his cronies, so he was taken out of Qingyunguan by six martial artists and hurried non-stop.

Ten days later, Guangxuanzi arrived at Baiyun Temple, and was actually sent by the master of the temple to a Taoist temple with less than 30 people in the remote west to be the master.

After many years, Guangxuanzi inadvertently learned the reason for losing his position as the master of the Qingyun Guanguan and being disgusted by the master of the Baiyun Guan.

It turned out that Li Bing twice held a secret order from Taoism and dispatched Qingyunguan to support the Huben army. Guangxuanzi, as the master, was afraid of taking responsibility, so he pushed the matter to Zijing, and Zijing took it all and went out in person. Li Bing wrote a letter to inform the Lord of the White Cloud Temple.

Guangxuanzi did not expect that Li Bing was such a powerful figure, and he won the trust of Emperor He Dong in the court, and he also had the full support of the Baiyun Temple in Taoism. That's all for later.

It is said that Hunan Province has experienced several turmoil in a row within dozens of days, and some ordinary people in Tanzhou Prefecture spontaneously gave last year's gifts to the Hou Mansion, the Governor's Mansion, and the military camp a few years ago.

"The king of Hunan in the Kai Dynasty and the corrupt officials of this dynasty have done a good job!"

"If it weren't for the Hou Ye finding out that Xiangjiang Temple was colluding with the King of Hunan, the town would have collected my family's money to donate incense to Xiangjiang Temple this year."

This was unexpected by Li Bing, Hao Ye, and He Jingyan.

The New Year's gift sent by the common people is not a valuable gift, but it is rare to have this heart.

Both the Hou Mansion and the Governor's Mansion ordered the men slaves to write down the names and addresses of the people who gave New Year's gifts, and sent people to buy snacks and other food and send them over, which won a good reputation for being close to the people.

On the thirtieth day of the lunar month, the eunuchs who had traveled a long way from the Chang'an Palace came to the Hou Mansion to read the holy decree, and He Dong canonized Li Yunqing as the captain of the Zhaowu Colonel on the Sixth Grade, and praised He Jingyan for helping Li Bing kill the corrupt officials and kill the king of Hunan.

When the eunuch came out of the Hou Mansion, he went to the Governor's Mansion to pass on He Dong's edict and praise Hao Ye for his conscientious work after taking up the post of Governor.

Hao Ye knelt on the ground to thank him, and said with tears in his eyes: "Your Majesty did not investigate the responsibility of the old minister for not discovering that Xiangjiang Temple colluded with the army of the King of Hunan during his tenure. ”

The eunuch didn't hide it, and said in a low voice: "In the letter from Master Li to His Majesty, I said for you, Buddhism is powerful, and Xiangjiang Temple is very secretive, and it is common for you not to know it." ”

Hao Ye was slightly grateful to Li Bing in his heart.

The eunuch went to Qu Kuaishou's house to read the holy decree, and He Dong personally canonized Qu Kuaishou as the deputy lieutenant of Zhenwei from the sixth grade, and gave Deng a pair of dragon and phoenix gold bracelets.

The Qu family couldn't help but be overjoyed, and when the eunuch left, Qu Duo was so excited that he almost jumped up like a child, and said loudly: "Grandpa, you have been promoted to the fourth level in a row, and you are already a sixth-rank military attaché." ”

Qu Chang stared at the Ming Huang Holy Decree held by Qu Kuai's hands, and was surprised and exclaimed: "Dad, your official position is personally canonized by His Majesty, which is a hundred times more glorious than the last time when only an official appointment letter was issued. ”

Qu Kuaishou was immersed in joy, and the sound of the eunuch's yin and yang strange qi reciting the holy decree was incomparably melodious to him, and he had memorized it in his heart, and he would never forget it in this life.

Deng Shi's hands trembled and he opened the brocade box containing the dragon and phoenix gold bracelets, tears of joy welled up in his eyes, and he lost his voice: "This is the jewelry given to me by His Majesty. ”

Xiao Deng looked enviously at the red gold bracelet carved with dragon and phoenix patterns in the brocade box, and exclaimed: "Grandma, you are so blessed." ”

Deng Shi was happy for a while, and said with a smile: "This red gold bracelet will be left to you in the future." ”

Xiao Deng's eyes lit up all of a sudden, and he was overjoyed.

"The ancestral tomb of our Qu family is really smoking, and I became a six-rank military attache in just a few dozen days. I am here today thanks to my sister and brother-in-law. Qu Kuaishou hurriedly sent a servant to Li's house to report the good news.

After the servant returned, he first said the happy news of Li Yunqing's canonization of his official position, and then said: "The old man and the old lady of the Hou Mansion will come to our mansion to pay New Year's greetings to our mansion, saying that there is a great happy event to say in person. ”

At the same moment, a two-horse dark blue carriage came to the main gate of the Li family, which was full of lights inside and outside the mansion, and was ready to eat Chinese New Year's Eve.
