Chapter 426: Revisiting Tiger Hill Tower
The Battle of Jiangnan was a huge plan carefully designed by Qin Mu, and he thought of almost every detail. There were no accidents along the way, but when they arrived in Suzhou, because of He Zhu's request to suppress the bandits, the Guards had to postpone their departure.
This is an unexpected variable.
So the people of Suzhou can work for a few more days, earn more money, visit more dazzling stalls, and at the same time, they can also see more beautiful women.
Jia Hongxian and her team of female soldiers are a real scenery in the city of Suzhou. No matter how good things are, they don't look as good as them.
Especially Jia Honghong, she is tall, fair-skinned, and pretty, more like the king peacock among the birds, she is simply loved by everyone and sees flowers blooming.
Moreover, Jia Hongxian has been by Qin Mu's side for so many years, and he has already experienced an elegant and strong temperament, which makes the people of Suzhou feel awe at a glance. They only dared to peek from afar, but no one dared to approach the future queen.
They could only look at the beautiful little ladies while swallowing saliva at the good things in front of them.
There is heaven and Suzhou and Hangzhou, and Suzhou has been a prosperous place since ancient times. But no matter how prosperous Suzhou City is, it can't transcend this time and space.
Most of the goods displayed by the Guards Regiment were unprecedented on the market.
For example, the most ordinary towel in the future - this time and space can't be made at all. There was no cotton and no crochet technique.
The people of Suzhou love every Weishanhu product, but not everyone has the ability to make new money. Without banknotes, you can't buy new goods.
This makes those people inevitably anxious. But today they don't have to be so agitated.
Jia Hongxian posted a notice asking the people of Suzhou to expose the crimes of the Taihu bandits.
For a convicted crime, she would give the whistleblower five cents.
Five cents! Two crimes are worth one nail clipper - the ordinary one.
And the notice also wrote that if it is a major crime, the price can be doubled.
At this time, there was a long queue in front of the whistleblower table - I had no strength to work, and it was still very easy to say a few words.
What's more, there are so many bandits in Taihu Lake, which one has not harmed the people of Suzhou?
At this time, the Taihu bandits suddenly became a golden mountain in the eyes of the people of Suzhou. That's five cents after one!
This notice of the Guards Regiment was plastered all over the city of Suzhou, especially several city gates were posted in conspicuous places.
As soon as the pangolin entered the city, he saw the notice. He couldn't help but be stunned.
What's going on? The Guards want the people of Suzhou to report and expose us. Hehe, this is really unbelievable.
He read the notice word by word, especially the payment carefully.
The inscription is the Guards Regiment, and there is another name on it: Qin Mu.
It seems that this man did it with the Guards. Very well, I remember you.
Pangolin Leopard didn't come to Suzhou to make trouble this time. As a person who aspires to conquer the world, he must act differently from bandits.
He came to Suzhou to find out the situation, to explore the truth and reality, so as to prepare for future actions.
I didn't expect to see the Guards Regiment humiliating myself as soon as I entered the city. What, take me as a fugitive? Do you really think you're a government? It's just a small militia group!
Since the pangolin leopard became a bandit, he has bullied others, how can anyone bully him, so he almost couldn't suppress his anger for a while, so he had to find Qin Mu to settle accounts.
But he definitely couldn't find Qin Mu in Suzhou City, because Qin Mu was not in the city, he went out of the city today and came to another hometown: Yunyan Temple.
That day, he took Fang Haoyin to He Zhu's mansion, but Jia Hongxian did not follow.
Because the Guards had just entered the city at that time, too much work was waiting for Jia Hongxian to arrange, so she couldn't leave.
But once Jia Hongxian was done, he suddenly felt that he had lost. Why did my cousin take the vixen to play and didn't bring himself? This is resolutely not good, and it is a loss.
Therefore, at her strong request, and indeed for some reason, Qin Mu took Jia Hongxian to come to Yunyan Temple outside Suzhou. It's also a revisit.
This time, he only brought Jia Hongxian, not Fang Haoyin. Fang Haoyin temporarily took over Jia Hongxian's work today - no one in the city can preside over the situation.
Zen Master Shaolong warmly received the two distinguished guests.
This time the two of them were much more valuable than the last time they came, because Jia Hongxian brought a lot of gifts. These things are all industrialized products of Weishan Lake, and the monks of Yunyan Temple can't buy them even if they have money.
Visit Yunyan Temple, must climb Tiger Hill Tower.
Zen Master Shaolong accompanied the two to the Tiger Hill Pagoda.
Jia Hongxian looked at the Taihu Lake in the distance and couldn't help but think of that day. The last time I came here, I was also accompanied by Zen Master Shaolong, but at that time, there was still Fang Haoyin by his side, which was a little imperfect.
It's okay today, just myself and my cousin. Do you want your cousin to write a poem for yourself?
He was his cousin's first woman, and he hadn't written a poem for himself yet. That's not fair!
Just as Jia Hongxian was about to speak, Qin Mu spoke first.
He and Jia Hongxian have been married for so long, and he doesn't need to ask about the little tricks in this woman's head. You can't let her speak first.
Besides, Qin Mu did have a serious reason to come here.
"Zen Master Shaolong, I don't know if you have heard of Cai Jinhua?"
According to the results of the investigation in the past two days, Qin Mu gradually had a general understanding of the Taihu Lake bandits.
After the meeting that day, although he did not decide whether to fight the bandits or not, Qin Mu ordered to stay in Suzhou for two more days.
Suzhou is different from the previous Changzhou Wuxi, this city is much larger than those two cities, so it is necessary to work hard.
At the same time, the Song Army and the Heavenly Division Army were in a mess in Wuxi, and both sides were unable to withdraw for the time being, and the Guards Regiment had a rare period of quiet.
In this way, Qin Mu decided to investigate the details of the bandits first, and as for whether to fight or not, we will talk about it later.
There are three of the most famous bandits in Taihu Lake.
The boss pangolin leopard is originally from Suzhou. His father was the best shipbuilder in Suzhou, but he was forced to death by Hua Shigang. Therefore, the pangolin is a bandit.
The second child is six points old, and he is a family of bandits. His father's name is Zhang Zuo, and he has been robbing in Taihu Lake for a living, and when his father died, the business was passed on to him.
In fact, the younger six points are not the sixth among the brothers. On the contrary, he is the eldest of brothers. So why is it called Little Six? This is also an interesting legend.
It is said that when he was born, his mother asked someone to tell his fortune, and the fortune teller said that the child was hard-lived and would be able to defeat his mother, and told her that if she wanted to avoid her mother, she had to find a woman who was not related by blood, and let the child recognize her as a mother-in-law, so that she could use the blessings of her mother-in-law to eliminate disasters.
But no one wants to be a stepmother to this child.
His mother was still unwilling, she heard that children can go to the temple, and being a named monk can avoid disasters, so she took the child to the temple and found the abbot.
The abbot of this temple is known as a high-ranking monk, and when he looks at the small child, he says that the temple is too small to accommodate it.
The abbot told his mother that he only needed to change the child's name, and perhaps he could avoid the disaster: "After you go out of the temple, take the child and go forward, don't look back, when you hear the first words of others, use it to make your son's milk name, you must remember!" β
So her mother left the temple with the child in her arms, and walked all the way home, and after walking for a while, she suddenly heard a woman shouting: "Little six o'clock go home for dinner!" β
So the kid became Little Six.
This shows how deeply Jia Honghong's work has been carried out, and even such a history has been excavated by her.
The most bizarre of the three bandits in Taihu Lake is not the above two, but the smallest, youngest and most incredible Cai Jinhua.
Cai Jinhua is a little lady, no one knows where she came from, anyway, when the people of Suzhou heard this name, she was already a famous bandit in Taihu Lake.
This woman doesn't kill people or set fires, she only robs women. After snatching it back, if the woman was unwilling to follow her, she also let the woman back, just for a ransom.
Jia Hongxian couldn't help laughing when she heard Cai Jinhua's story: "Don't be a sister-in-law." β
The sister-in-law she said was not a sister-in-law, but a nun.
Jia Hongxian was born in Baihe'an and is familiar with the chaos in the Great Song Nunnery. This kind of thing of two women grinding mirrors is the most in the nunnery.
She had no intention, but Qin Mu had a heart. When he came to Yunyan Temple today, Qin Mu came to visit his old friends, and he also came to ask about this question.
Yunyan Temple is a great Zen temple in Suzhou, if Cai Jinhua is really a nun, maybe Shaolong Zen Master knows something.
Hearing Qin Mu's question, Zen Master Shaolong thought seriously for a while and said, "Young Master Qin, the name of Cai Jinhua has been heard of by the poor monks. I heard that she is a bandit in Taihu Lake, but she doesn't seem to have done anything bad. I just found some beautiful little ladies to go back as companions, and I put them all back afterwards. β
Qin Mu nodded, this situation was similar to what he had mastered.
I just don't know where she came from. Of course, according to normal speaking, if Cai Jinhua commits a crime, as long as the evidence is clear and the facts are conclusive, it is enough to deal with it in accordance with the law. But everyone has a gossip heart, and Qin Mu is also a human being, not a god. Such a wonderful woman, it's also interesting to pick up her black history.
It can be regarded as an adjustment to hard work. Therefore, when Qin Mucai came to Yunyan Temple to travel today, he asked Zen Master Shaolong by the way.
But it seems that Zen Master Shaolong doesn't know more.
At this time, Jia Hongxian said with a smile: "The Zen master doesn't know either." I thought Cai Jinhua was a character who went out of Suzhou Nunnery. β
She is in a good mood and in high spirits now, so she doesn't hide her words. This is also the reason why she has long been out of the time and space of the Great Song Dynasty, and her identity is already very different.
The last time on the Tiger Hill Tower, Jia Hongxian was still the eldest sister of the underworld of the Great Song Dynasty. Now that he has come to the old land again, Tiger Hill has not changed, but Jia Hongxian has already changed completely.
She didn't need to care about anyone at allβexcept Qin Mu.
In this world, she can do whatever she wants, and no one can stop her from saying whatever she wants.
Jia Hongxian's words are quite impolite. It is as if all the nuns in Suzhou City are grinding mirrors.
So what do you think of our Suzhou jungle? The nunnery monk temple is a Buddhist one. People can be said to be brothers and sisters.
You say that the nunnery is not good, isn't this a clear statement that the monk temple is not good?
With the cultivation of Zen Master Shaolong, he couldn't help but get angry. But because of the so many gifts given by Jia Hongxian, coupled with the fact that he knew that the current person in charge of Suzhou was the Guards Regiment, and Young Master Qin was the boss of the Guards Regiment, this made the Zen master suppress his anger.
"Mrs. Qin, you can't talk nonsense." After Zen Master Shaolong finished speaking, he hurriedly clasped his hands together and said in a loud voice: "Sins and sins." β
I don't know if he is saying that Jia Hongxian is guilty or who is guilty.
Jia Hongxian was immediately unhappy. Is it a sin for me to say a word casually? How can there be such a truth in this world. Besides, I didn't say that Cai Jinhua went out of your Yunyan Temple.
As soon as Qin Mu saw Jia Hongxian's face change color, he knew that she was going to get angry.
This place is on the Tiger Hill Tower, in case the old monk is also a hidden master, it will be troublesome to kick the two of us down. Qiu Chen and the others didn't follow up the tower. This tower is full of people.
Let's not quarrel with people, and then talk about it.
He hurriedly grabbed Jia Hongxian's hand, and then said to Zen Master Shaolong: "Zen Master, Neiko has no intention of offending. Thank you for your understanding. β
"If you don't have a heart, the Buddha won't take it to heart." Master Shaolong forgave Jia Hongxian a lot. However, he was a little curious, Qin Mu asked why Cai Jinhua was?
"Young Master Qin, I don't know ...... Cai Jinhua and you"
"Oh, she has nothing to do with me, it's just that someone in Suzhou has accused her. Since I am temporarily in charge of Suzhou City, the affairs of the people are my business. β
"I don't know what the people of Suzhou sued her?" Zen Master Shaolong asked unhurriedly.
"That is, she robbed women, kidnapped tickets, and extorted ransom."
"Then what kind of crime is this in the eyes of Young Master Qin? How to judge? β
"If what the people say is true, I think this Cai Jinhua can be sentenced for extortion."
"Then can Young Master Qin be sentenced now based on the words of the people?"
"Not yet. This is just the word of the people, and we have to look for solid evidence. Human and material evidence, the chain of evidence should be complete. Speaking of this, Qin Mu smiled: "Zen master, Cai Jinhua is tied to women, women are shy, no one is willing to come forward to testify against Cai Jinhua, it is a little difficult to collect evidence." That's why I took the liberty to ask the Zen master today, please bear with me. β
"Well said." Zen Master Shaolong clasped his hands together and bowed deeply to Qin Mu: "Young Master Qin is indeed a dragon and a phoenix among people. Don't talk nonsense, don't be biased, the old man admires. β
"How dare you, how dare you, pass the prize, pass the prize." Qin Mu was a little strange. What's wrong with Zen Master Shaolong, he is just handling the case impartially, is it worthy of his praise.
Although the justice of this time and space is a little darker, Zen Master Shaolong is the presiding officer of Yunyan Temple, and he is the most famous monk in this part of Suzhou. No matter how dark the yamen is, he doesn't dare to hack him.
An outsider, how can it be so?
Before he could figure it out, he saw a person walking down from the upper floor of the Tiger Hill Tower, a young and beautiful woman, who whispered to Qin Mu and the others, "Young Master Qin, Mrs. Qin, the slave family is willing to come forward to be this witness." β
