The common people of Wu County, there are many people who believe in Buddhism and Taoism, so there are many temples and Taoist temples in Wu County.

There is no shortage of monks and Taoist priests in these temples and temples who devote themselves to worshipping the Buddha and truly have compassion for the common people. However, there are also some monks and Taoists who wear the garb of monks.

What Yang Yun has to do now is to find out these people and drive them out of Wu County. In their own territory, they are not allowed to exist in these black sheep.

Yan Xiong and Liu Haini told Yang Yun that the Jade Emperor Temple, the largest Taoist temple in Wu County, and the largest temple, the Holy Buddha Temple. For a long time, they have been in contact with various bandits in Wu County. Even some monks in the temple and some Taoist priests in the Taoist temple were originally sent by Shandong bandits.

Over the years, this temple has often transmitted information and transported supplies to bandits in the mountains.

Since most people in Wu County believe in gods and Buddhas, many people like to go to Taoist temples or temples to burn incense and worship Buddha. Many people still have the habit of making vows and repenting in front of the gods and Buddhas, and at this time, they are defenseless in their hearts, and they often unconsciously tell the secrets in their hearts.

The Taoist priests in the Taoist temple and the monks in the temple got a lot of information from the words they said when everyone made a wish or repented. And these monks do not have the consciousness to keep secrets for these good men and women.

In their eyes, these people who come to worship the Buddha reveal the information in front of the Buddha. As long as it can be exchanged for profit, they will not hesitate to sell it to those who need it.

The news that Yang Yun left the county town to investigate in the mountains and find a suitable place to dig a reservoir was passed on by the monks of the Holy Buddha Temple under such circumstances.

Although Yang Yun has only been in Wu County for a short time, he has already regarded this place as his home. Of course, it is not permissible for these unscrupulous monks to do such things in their own territory. So he set his sights on the Jade Emperor Temple and the Holy Buddha Temple.

It is not difficult to directly arrest or kill these monks. But in this way, some of the popular support that Yang Yun has won so hard will be gone.

So after thinking about it again, Yang Yun found some people he trusted to read. Find out all the cases in Wu County for so many years, look through them one by one, and see if there are any files related to this Jade Emperor Temple and the Holy Buddha Temple.

The reason for this is because Yang Yun believes that since the Taoist priest of the Jade Emperor Temple and the monk of the Holy Buddha Temple have not devoted themselves to worshipping the Buddha and have done so many bad things, there will definitely be clues.

For example, the file currently in Yang Yun's hands attracted his attention. It is recorded in this dossier that Liu Yue'e, the daughter of Liu Yuanwai's family in the west of the city, went to the Holy Buddha Temple when she was sick and begged the monks in the temple to cure her illness.

But after returning home, Liu Yue'e was disheveled, there were blood stains on her body, and her expression was also very sad. Soon after returning home, Liu Yue'e hanged herself at home.

Liu Yuanwai was an only daughter, and she died so unexplained. He and his wife were so grief-stricken that they went to the Holy Buddha Temple to find out what was going on.

However, the monks in the Holy Buddha Temple were so arrogant that they not only did not tell them anything, but they were not even allowed to enter the temple.

In a fit of anger, Liu Yuanwai wrote a piece of paper and handed it to the county office, hoping that the county government would help find out the truth of this matter. But I didn't expect that after this piece of paper was handed to the county office, it was like a stone sinking into the sea, and there was no news at all.

Liu Yuanwai and his wife often came to the county government to inquire about this matter, but the people in the county government were always unwilling to pay attention to him. Liu Yuanwai's wife was angry about this and died of illness. Only Liu Yuanwai was left to submit a letter to the county government many times, hoping that the county government would find out the matter well.

However, the county government officials have delayed this matter again and again for reasons such as unclear clues and limited manpower of the county government.

For this reason, Liu Yuanwai exhausted his family property. He sold a few pieces of thin land and a house. It was used to deal with the county government officials and help him find out the case, but no matter how he investigated, there was still no eyebrow in this matter, and over time, this was suppressed repeatedly.

This case is obviously full of suspicions, and the facts of the case are not complicated, if you have the heart to investigate the whole thing, it is not difficult to find out. But such a case actually became a death case, which made Yang Yun feel extremely strange.

He decided to start with this case, and strive to let the common people see the true face of these monks and Taoist monasteries who were dressed as monks, but secretly did all the bad things.

This case is actually not complicated, this Liu Yue'e has asthma. Therefore, I plan to go to the temple to ask for some of the immortal medicine in the temple for healing.

Originally, it was very common for people to go to the temple to see a doctor. These monks in the temple often take out some herbs or pills and give them to the people who come to see the doctor, and defraud them of donating money for sesame oil.

But on this day, after Liu Yu'e went to the Holy Buddha Temple. A monk named Ran who received him, after some pretended examination, said that Liu Yue'e's asthma was already very serious, and she had to go into the inner room to be treated with a spell before it could be effective.

Immediately afterwards, she said to Liu Yue'e's maid that she should go back to Liu's house immediately, go to Liu Yue's boudoir, light a stick of incense, and watch the fragrance finish before leaving. In this way, the evil spirits can be successfully exorcised and Liu Yue'e can be fully recovered.

When Liu Yue'e's maid returned home, after burning incense, she went back to the Holy Buddha Temple to pick up Liu Yue'e. Seeing Liu Yue'e, she was disheveled, crying all the time, no matter how the maid asked her, she didn't want to say anything.

Soon after returning home, Liu Yue'e lied that she was tired and wanted to sleep in the room, and no one could disturb him.

As a result, this sleep was several hours, and there was no movement in the room no matter how much I shouted. The family thought it was strange and pushed the door open. As a result, I saw that Liu Yue'e had hanged herself in the room, and she was already lifeless.

The events and witnesses recorded on the pleadings are very clear, and it is said that if the parties are asked to understand this case, it will be clear.

But judging from the dossier, the monk of this holy Buddha temple pushed all this away. And these monks have a noble status in Wu County, and the catchers of the county government can only listen to his side of the story. No one dared to bring him to the county government for questioning, so the case was the only one.

Liu Yuan sent someone to find the maid who served Liu Yue'e, and according to the maid's explanation. When I received Liu Yu'e that day, looking at Liu Yan'e's appearance, it was estimated that she was insulted in the temple, but Liu Yue'e just cried, but she didn't want to say anything.

Liu Yuan quietly sent people to the Holy Buddha Temple, disguised as pilgrims burning incense, and went to the temple to learn about the situation of Monk Ran. I learned that this monk was a proud disciple of the abbot of the Holy Buddha Temple, and he had a high status in the temple.

This is clear that relying on the abbot's trust in him, he is arrogant and domineering in the temple, which is very unpopular. And according to the monks who have opinions about him in the temple, this monk is extremely lustful, and has taken advantage of female pilgrims many times in the name of magic treatment with pilgrims. Many women suffered, but for the sake of their own honor, they chose to swallow their anger.

After listening to the report of the people sent by Liu Yuan, Guo Long felt that this matter was relatively clear, so he issued an order to arrest this monk.

Who would have thought that on the second day, when Liu Yuan took the county soldiers to the Holy Buddha Temple to arrest people, he ran into trouble. First of all, when the monks in the temple heard that they were going to arrest Ran and the monks, they immediately picked up sticks and blocked the temple to prevent the soldiers from entering the temple.

The more serious is still to come, and I don't know who notified the people in the county. Not long after, thousands of people came from outside the temple, and they surrounded the soldiers brought by Liu Yuan and others, and did not allow them to take a step forward towards the temple.

When Liu Yuan sent someone back to report, Guo Long was furious. Chi Mu'er, who has a short temper, is even ready to pick up the long hammer in his hand and rush directly into the temple to get people.

Under the persuasion of Zhong Wenrui and others, Guo Long finally calmed down, he sat down in a daze, and asked people to inform Liu Yuan and lead the troops to withdraw to the county office.

The soldiers of the county town returned to the county office dejectedly, and some of them still had some wounds on their faces. Yang Yun felt very helpless, he didn't expect these ordinary people in Wu County to be so ignorant.

Around the fourth watch of the night, a group of black-clothed people quietly sneaked into the temple from a corner of the wall of the Holy Buddha Temple.

The men in black were clearly masters, and they silently climbed over the walls and infiltrated the temple. In the temple, there was not a single sound, and the monks in the temple were stunned that they didn't find them.

The group of black-clothed people quickly came to Monk Ran's room, and Monk Ran, who was sleeping soundly, was knocked unconscious and put into a pocket before he could react. Immediately afterwards, the group of black-clothed people left the Holy Buddha Temple silently.

This group of black-clothed people was Qi Wei and other Yang Yun's personal guards, and they took the monk out of the Holy Buddha Temple and brought him back to the county office. At this time, the monks in the Holy Buddha Temple did not know that the monk had been arrested.

The next day, the monks in the Holy Buddha Temple discovered that Monk Ran was missing, and they couldn't find anyone no matter how they looked for him. Although it was suspected that they were arrested by the people of the county government, in this case, they could not go to the county government to ask for someone, so they had to suffer a dumb loss.

This is clear that when the monk was first arrested in the county government, he was extremely arrogant. As a result, Liu Yuan and others became angry. After being beaten with a stick, this high-ranking "monk" immediately relented.

According to the monk's confession, after Liu Yue'e came to the Holy Buddha Temple that day, he saw that Liu Yue'e had a beautiful face and looked like a sick person, and he immediately couldn't bear the evil fire in his heart.

So he deliberately took the maid away and brought Liu Yu'e into the inner room. Lie to him and say that if he wants to use a spell to drive away the disease, he must take off his clothes. Then he ignored Liu Yue'e's desperate resistance and violently committed violence against Liu Yue'e.

In the end, the monk also confessed that he used his identity as a senior monk in this temple to ruin the innocence of several women. But these women chose to swallow their anger, which is why he became more and more emboldened.

At the same time, he also explained that the monks of the Holy Buddha Temple had embezzled the property of the common people. They also colluded with bandits to rob some of the evil deeds of passing merchants.

One thing after another, everyone shuddered when they heard it. Unexpectedly, the monks of this holy Buddha temple dressed in the cloak of a monk did so many things that lost their conscience.
