Chapter 300 The Hidden Affair of Taoism

Because of the importance of this matter, Yu Chuxiang closed the store for the time being, and the store at this time except for the shopkeeper and the one who left a tea maker, the rest were let go back.

In the private room on the second floor, after the shopkeeper asked the shopkeeper to serve a pot of tea, they all went downstairs, leaving Chunyu and Ah Cai to sit face to face, listening to him start talking about the whole story.

Speaking of this matter, the first thing to talk about is the cultivation path of Zhou Baida, the master of the Zhou Mansion. Let's say that after the Zhou family came to the capital at that time, because of Zhou Xu'an's fame in the capital and the importance of the official family, the Zhou family also had a place in the capital. So the old man Zhou, who has always been happy to enjoy, is like a fish in water, and has spent y8i a leisurely and beautiful day in this capital, and then heard that many of the big men in the capital love to go to the Taoist temple to listen to the preaching of the master, and the luck of adding a lot of fragrance can also get the elixir given by the master, which is said to be able to prolong life.

To say that the master is having a comfortable time this week, there is nothing to worry about, but there is one thing that has to be worried. That is, after all, he has reached the age of knowing his fate, and this good life is still long, and how much time he will have to enjoy it in the future, but it is impossible to say. So once he took his family to a Taoist temple outside the city to make a vow, and stopped by to see if the Taoist priests there were true.

As a result, in the Sanqing Taoist Temple, he really found a master, that is, the guest Qing Taoist in the Taoist temple, a pure person. The Halal man is said to be a wandering and mysterious man, who became the head of the Hakka Daoist here by chance, and only comes here to preach for a few days a year. I couldn't see him at any other time, so many wealthy families in the capital took the opportunity to come over to listen to his preaching. Therefore, Master Zhou also felt that he was destined for the Tao, otherwise how could he come to the Taoist Temple for the first time. I met a master of the Dao, and I was guided by him, and I actually felt that I should practice the Dao.

So after the Qing Daoist left, Zhou Baida often came to the Three Qing Taoist Temples again, and studied the Taoism with the Jingxuan Taoist who was said to be a disciple of the Qing Daoist, and over time he became more and more obsessed. It wasn't until later that he began to refine pills, and even ignored all the things of the Zhou family. No longer caring.

Forget it, the key is that he can listen to that Jingxuan's words. Some time ago, he actually took Aunt Luo, a concubine who could understand his mind and was willing to enlighten with him, moved out of the Zhou Mansion and went to live in a newly built Taoist temple in Jade Mountain outside the city. And the viewer there turned out to be the head of the Jingxuan Dao. It turned out that this Jing Xuan didn't want to stay in the Sanqing Taoist Temple anymore. Being a not very outstanding Taoist is to say that Zhou Baida spent a lot of money to find a feng shui treasure in Jade Mountain and build a mystical temple. And Jing Xuan knew a lot of pilgrims before, so he informed them, and for a while, there were occasional pilgrims, and there was no sesame oil money.

Originally, except for Zhou Baida and his concubine not returning to Zhou's house, there was no big deal, but later something happened. It turned out that a pilgrim had brought his daughter here to offer incense. But he lost his daughter near the Taoist Temple when he left, and it had nothing to do with the Taoist Temple when he talked about it. It's just that if it's an ordinary family, it's okay, but whoever let this person lose his daughter is Mrs. Yushi, the right governor of the Nadu Procuratorate. And the twelve-year-old woman who lost it was the daughter of the family of the right governor of the royal history. Therefore, this matter must not be underestimated, and it involves officials, so the Jingshi Punishment and the Prosecutor Department did not dare to take over, so he was transferred to Shuntianfu.

This Shuntian Mansion is different from the Sentencing Envoy who manages the cases of the common people, and the people in it are all elites, especially there is a case arrester who is repaired, and that is the son of the former God Arrester Zhong who once had the name of God. Guo Zhong is now the prefect of Suzhou, while his son remains in the capital. It is also very praised by the officials.

Since Shuntianfu took over this case, Guo Xiu was naturally going to go out, so he took his own people and horses to the Xuanji Temple in Jade Mountain to investigate. As a result, he was really worthy of his father, and it was only after three days that he found out the problem. The mystical view is really mysterious, the foundation is an ordinary Taoist temple, and there is a hidden basement below, and there are seven or eight rooms in a row, and the decoration inside is also luxurious.

Although there was nothing there, but the suspicion came, thinking that he was a cultivator, and relying on Zhou Baida's funding, it was already difficult to build this Taoist temple, how could he build such a gorgeous pavilion. And there is no reason to arrest this Jingxuan Daoist, but who is Guo Xiu, he is an arrester who has experienced many strange cases and solved many cases, how could he be fooled lightly. So he pretended to leave with the centaurs, but in fact he was secretly observing the place.

Sure enough, the hard work paid off, and after their team of people had been lurking in the nearby mountains for five days, Jing Xuan was exposed, and he sent someone to drive the carriage at night to transport something. But he was caught first, and only after Guo Xiu took someone to open those big boxes did he understand what the small holes in the boxes were for. It turned out that there were a lot of young girls inside, all of them had their hands and feet tied, and their mouths were stuffed with cloths, and the holes in the boxes were for them to breathe freely. And they are also from eleventh or twelfth to fourteenth and fifteenth, there are as many as thirteen people, and there are naturally the daughters of the Wang family. Except for Miss Wang, these girls are all daughters of ordinary people, and there are also village girls in the Gyeonggi area, so they haven't attracted much attention for a long time.

It's just that there is an official lady in it now, and this time the matter is strict, so the Jingxuan Daoist, together with Zhou Baida and Aunt Luo, as well as the other two Taoist children of this Taoist temple, were all arrested and sent to the Yamen of Shuntian Mansion and locked up in prison for trial.

Originally, this was not a big deal that could not be solved, as long as Zhou Xu'an moved more, and then invited a better master in the capital to come over, saying that Zhou Baida was just seeking Taoism in the Taoist temple, and he didn't know it. Who knew that the two children of the Taoist temple were not tried, and several big boards were all recruited, and they also told a shocking secret.

It turned out that during the interrogation, Zhou Baida didn't have time to notify Zhou Xu'an to come over, and he and Aunt Luo were indeed in the dark and didn't know anything. So during the interrogation, the two strongly argued that they didn't know, and Jing Xuan just said that those women were coerced by a Shandong **** and stayed in the Taoist temple, and refused to admit that he used the Taoist temple to commit the crime of selling girls. However, this qiē was completely destroyed by the two boys, because they were beaten with several large boards, and they didn't even need to be tortured. (To be continued.) )
