Chapter 226: Guyun Temple
A person's confession, or if you want to rely on one or two lines to find out this ghost master, this is undoubtedly impossible.
This old thing is a little too cunning and cunning.
But at this time, combined with Zhang Jisheng and other Liujiabao bandit leaders, including some of the information about the dark lines of those ghosts that were divided by Xu Changqing, after summarizing, valuable news was quickly analyzed.
The ghost master controls Dong Lifu, Ma Harrier, Zhang Jisheng and others, and generally transmits news through his godsons.
Although the godson is constantly changing, there are several skeletons that are fixed.
The one who often appears here in Zhanhua is called the Seventh Master.
But I don't know what's going on recently, the seventh master hasn't shown up for a long time, and he has been replaced by a confidant of the third master who is secretly colluding.
Soon, a dark line revealed an important news, the third master has a house in Yangxin City, raising a very favorite concubine, in the alley behind the famous kiln 'Four Seasons Spring' in Yangxin City, the third master has to stay there for at least ten days every month.
This made Wu Sanfu feel very energetic, and he quickly came over to report to Xu Changqing.
Xu Changqing nodded slowly, thought for a while, and said, "Third brother, immediately send a good hand to keep an eye on it, and be sure to take down this third master!" Also, try not to startle the snake! ”
"Yes!"
Wu Sanfu hurriedly went to arrange.
The Wu family under his command doesn't accept the old night, and they are all good at doing this.
But after thinking for a while, Xu Changqing waved his hand and beckoned a pro-soldier again, whispered a few words to him, and the pro-soldier hurried to chase Wu Sanfu.
This kind of thing can also be regarded as a good opportunity for military training, with the old oilman of the Wu family leading the team, it must be no problem to bring a few newcomers on his side, and let them learn from the experience of this kind of special operation.
However, even if he found the key clues, Xu Changqing still did not dare to slack off.
The ghost master has been in this land for ten years, and according to his shrewdness, I am afraid that the black people have already been washed into whites.
The key is that at this time, I have too few people, and it is difficult to take the overall situation, so I can only selectively focus on the key points.
This means ...... If the ghost master is ruthless and simply cuts off the clues, it is still easy to do.
Just when Xu Changqing just wanted to send someone to arrange Dong Lifu's Zhuangzi, which had 300,000 taels of silver and a lot of grain, he suddenly had a cleverness!
At this time, the news has indeed not leaked, but there are already a lot of people around, and the scene is not small, and the leakage of news is inevitable.
If the ghost master's people got the news, it would definitely be impossible to let the 300,000 taels of silver and so much grain be thrown there in vain!
Moreover, there are people under Ma Harrier's side who are staring at him, but is there no one by Dong Lifu's side?
Take 10,000 steps back and say, no matter how good this ghost is, no matter how good his hands and eyes are, according to the productivity at this time, he will definitely occupy an important territory with so much property here.
As far as these lands controlled by Ma Harrier at this time, let alone Xu Changqing, even the Hengwang Zhu Youdi and even the Emperor Chongzhen, the Son of Heaven, would be greedy when they saw it!
Xu Changqing's eyes narrowed slightly, and he walked quickly to Liujiabao to check.
But after a while, he saw that Tang Ruowang was like a wooden man, and he was taking a group of his students to carefully check the effect of the flowering bomb in front of the gate of Liujiabao.
Soon, Tang Ruowang also saw Xu Changqing, and hurriedly greeted him, "General, this is simply incredible, it is simply a genius idea." I heard them say, it's all your idea? Oh, my God. General, you, how did you come up with this? ”
Seeing that Tang Ruowang had actually become a little fan brother, Xu Changqing was a little speechless, but he definitely couldn't dispel the enthusiasm of this foreign monk, so he could only explain to him patiently.
It also caused Tang Ruowang to shout from time to time, and his worship of Xu Changqing couldn't be stopped.
……
Just when Xu Changqing was chatting with Tang Ruowang, outside the camp, in Dong Lifu's camp, a group of Zhanhua officers and soldiers were already restless and chattering in low voices.
Because of the barrier of many earthen walls, and their location at this time was in a depression, they couldn't see what was going on in Xu Changqing's camp for a while.
But those cavalrymen had seen the power of the flowering bullet just now, and they could know with their butts that Liujiabao would definitely not be able to keep it.
Coupled with Xu Changqing's long-standing notoriety, especially the ruthless methods of Qijiawa in Cangzhou, these officers and soldiers couldn't stop worrying about their fate.
Several thousands of households gathered around Dong Lifu's old housekeeper, sighing and thinking of a solution.
The bottom of their buttocks is not clean, in case Xu Changqing really wants to be more serious, according to Xu Changqing's energy, it is enough to kill them alive.
"Master Xian, this, what are we going to do? This loyal uncle is a ruthless master who kills people without blinking an eye. ”
"Master Xian, Uncle Zhongyi, this is not good, we are also under his rule, but he didn't even inform us of Liujiabao's move, in case this really has bad intentions, we are all going to finish playing."
"It's really not good, let's break through now! We still have more than 200 horses, and it shouldn't be a big problem to break through to Zhanhua City! ”
"Are you crazy? If you break through, you will rebel! I'm afraid the surname Xu is waiting for this ......."
“……”
Seeing that these people were arguing, the old housekeeper couldn't persuade him, and his wrinkled old face was also full of helplessness, so he could only continue to appease the mud.
It's just that the old butler's seemingly muddy old eyes flashed with a shadow that could not be concealed.
Moreover, although he was thin at this time, some elderly rickets, and his back was a little hunched, but if you look closely, you can clearly see that his skeleton is very tall and very strong, and he must have been a powerful man when he was young!
Especially although he seems to be humble and has been bending his waist and laughing with him, if you look closely, you can see that many of his habits have traces left in the army.
Seeing that everyone was about to quarrel, the old housekeeper surnamed Xian hurriedly laughed and said, "Everyone, everyone, let's be calm for a while." Zhongyibo is here for Liujiabao, so it shouldn't have anything to do with us. Even if there are some problems, I am afraid, the silver may not be able to solve them. Let's calm down first, calm down, people can't suffocate to urine, they will always think of a way. ”
The old butler was a little hoarse, but his gentle words were full of magnetism, which calmed everyone down a little.
But these thousands of households and deputy thousands of households still can't stop all kinds of national scolding, but no one dares to speak out, lest they be heard by the sons and daughters of Xu Changqing behind the earthen wall not far away.
Seeing that everyone was quiet, the old housekeeper narrowed his eyes slightly, his fingers unconsciously flicked slightly, and he secretly said in his heart: "We must find a way to get out of this predicament as soon as possible!" ”
……
At this time, Xu Changqing had already climbed to the top of Liujiabao together, and inspected the surrounding scenery on the city gate tower more than ten meters high.
This area is mostly plain, the mountains are basically small hills, not very successful, the city gate building of Liujiabao is basically the commanding heights nearby.
Standing at this angle, according to Xu Changqing's eyesight, you can faintly see Dong Lifu's Zhuangzi.
Ten miles to the northeast of Dong Lifu's Zhuangzi and Liujiabao, there is a small mountainous area.
There are several villages around the small mountainous area, and on the hill, there seems to be a temple.
The scale of this temple is not small, it looks slightly dilapidated, but the architectural style is very interesting.
Different from ordinary temples, the walls of this temple are very tall, like city walls, and the nodes of the structure are very particular, although there is no corner tower, but several nodes are with the role of corner towers!
It's more of a ...... Defend the fortress!
Thinking of this, Xu Changqing also came to the spirit, sent Tang Ruowang to see the traces of flowering bullets on the city wall, and directly asked Dong Lifu to come over.
But Xu Changqing will definitely not let Dong Lifu be exposed to the city gate building, but will wait for him on the small platform behind the city gate building.
Dong Lifu came over quickly, and hurriedly said with an extremely flattering smile: "Uncle, I suddenly remembered that there are several famous paintings in the humble Zhuangzi, and staying in the hands of the humble office really makes the jewel dusty, and I am about to make a move." If you have leisure, uncle, it's good to help the lowly in charge. ”
Xu Changqing couldn't help but smile: "Okay." Dong Ye, you have a heart. ”
Dong Lifu couldn't help but be overjoyed, and was about to speak, but Xu Changqing pointed to the temple not far away and said, "Master Dong, what is the origin of this temple?" ”
Dong Lifu was stunned for a moment, and then came back to his senses, and said with a smile: "Uncle, this is our Guyun Temple, which has been around for hundreds of years, I heard that it was the Song Dynasty, and a senior monk came to build it in person, and finally passed away here." Uncle, if you have time, I will take you over to have a look. ”
"Oh?"
Xu Changqing smiled: "I see that this temple has been expanded later, right?" Why, since it's been expanded, why can't it be cleaned up, what's the matter with keeping these broken stone walls? ”
Dong Lifu thought that Xu Changqing wanted to donate money to the temple to renovate it, and he was busy with the spirit, he was a devout Buddhist, and explained carefully: "Uncle, this temple was indeed repaired by a master ten years ago, but then somehow, this old man seems to have an accident, and the project will not be completed." In the end, it was the old abbot who took a few tenants from the village to build it himself. The old abbot has no money, so naturally he can only go so far. ”
"Huh."
"So, the land around these villages is all monk's property? However, I don't think this work is small, is there enough manpower in these villages to build this temple? ”
"This ......"
"At that time, it shouldn't be enough, but Guyun Temple has a lot of incense around it, and many people go to work spontaneously. And the old abbot is very benevolent, and he collects very little rent, and in recent years, he has gathered several villages behind the mountain, all of which are tenants of Guyun Temple. ”
As he spoke, Dong Lifu hurriedly explained: "Uncle, in the past few years, Ma Harrier seems to have also thought about this land, but later he was convinced by the old abbot and sold a lot of land to the old abbot. Although there is a lot of land in Liujiabao, it can be said that the good land around is the majority of Guyun Temple. ”
Dong Lifu couldn't help but look at the flat and fertile world not far away with envy.
Xu Changqing smiled and nodded: "These lands are really good." Don't talk about you, I'm a little greedy. It's a good place. ”
Dong Lifu hurriedly smiled and said: "Uncle, this is all your land, in the future, if you want to buy land, you will definitely work for dogs and horses." ”
Xu Changqing laughed: "Old Dong, you are very good. ”
Hearing Xu Changqing's words, Dong Lifu's heart was sweeter than eating honey for a while, like an old dog, and he couldn't stop wagging his tail at Xu Changqing.
After a while, Xu Changqing suddenly said again: "Lao Dong, there are a lot of strong laborers in these villages, right?" ”
"Uncle, there are indeed a lot of laborers in these villages. The old abbot has a lot of skills, and he has been attracting displaced people all these years, and he has also bought a lot of land in the north of the mountain. ”
Saying that, Dong Lifu looked at Xu Changqing more respectfully: "Uncle, if you want to buy monk's property, you can find a way." This old abbot is in his sixties, and his health does not seem to be very good......"
Although Dong Lifu didn't finish speaking, how could Xu Changqing not understand what he meant, and laughed.
Dong Lifu was also busy laughing, only feeling refreshed, and becoming a dog-legged man with a powerful aura, just standing next to Xu Changqing is an honor.
