In the north city of Xiyang, the pilgrims in the Anning Temple are like a tide, the sound of bells, the sound of knocking on the wooden fish, and the sound of chanting, the good men and women burn incense and pray, praying for the Buddha to bless themselves or their families, or peace and security, or prosperity and prosperity, or their wishes come true.

The wind of worshipping Buddha in the north and south of the river prevails, so there is also a Buddhist temple in Xiyang City, which originally had no Buddhist temple, and like other big cities, the Buddhist temple is located in the city.

Although it is not as large as the more than 1,000 temples in Luoyang City, and the evening drum and morning bell are a bit noisy, this Buddhist temple has the wishes of many people and is very popular with the residents of Xiyang.

Nine times out of ten, the world is unsatisfactory, encounter all kinds of unpleasantness, go to the temple to burn incense and worship the Buddha to ask the Buddha for blessing, this is also the normal situation of people, so after the government expanded Xiyang City, it also found a monk who was enlightened, and built a temple in Xiyang City to meet the needs of the people to worship the Buddha.

The reason why the temple was built in the city is to facilitate people to burn incense and worship the Buddha, and secondly, to restrict the Buddhist temple, so as not to have "demon monks to make trouble", which not only destroys the pure place of Buddhism, but also harms the people.

If you talk about where the Buddhist temple is the most prosperous, it belongs to the Sanwu area of the Southern Dynasty, from the emperor, the magnates, to the ordinary people, they are not hesitant to donate money and property to the temple, which leads to many temples after several generations, and its temple property is amazing.

Not only were the fields endless, but also the money was abundant, and the monks were restricted by the rules and precepts of the Qing Dynasty, and could not blatantly spend their time on wine and wine, and over time they had a new "business": renting land and pawning and lending.

Some temples act in this way, the original intention is also to help the poor people, and there are also many temples, through which the people become usury owners, so Yuwenwen, the governor of Huangzhou, will never allow this phenomenon to occur under his rule.

The temple must be located in the city, and no land is allowed under its name, and the economic resources are all based on donations, so as not to encroach on the farmland and become a cancer in the future.

And the "business" in the temple must be normal, pawns, lending are prohibited, and things like "staying overnight and sending children", as long as they are found together, the monks will roll up the shop and get out of the way, and replace the next batch.

There is only one temple in Xiyang City, and believers are not allowed to give up their homes as temples, nor are Anning Temple allowed to expand its scale without authorization.

Because of various restrictions, the Anning Temple in Xiyang City has not had a single dispute since it was built, and it has adopted many abandoned babies and has a good reputation, so more and more people come to the temple to worship the Buddha and pray for the Buddha to bless themselves and their families.

Wu Ming, the warden of Xiyang Wangfu, listened to the familiar scriptures, restrained the urge to chant with the monk, carefully looked at the crowd in front of the temple, exchanged glances with his companions, and made a gesture backwards without revealing himself.

Kaiguang holds a monthly thief catching competition, and it officially begins!

Buddhism is pure, there are thieves stealing believers' property, it is simply "tolerable or unbearable", the Kaiguang Office under the Xiyang Palace, is happy to help these bastards "open the light", as the general banner of the Kaiguang Office, Wu Ming, naturally has to lead the newcomers to experience the experience.

"Na, there are three groups of thieves, at least two people in each group, one steals, one releases, you be careful, the dog jumps over the wall, those thieves have sharp blades hidden in them."

"Huh? I don't understand what you're saying! ”

A person next to Wu Ming passed by, shouting loudly with a foreign accent, for fear that others would not hear that he was a newcomer, carrying a package, looking cautious and guarded against thieves, but he was full of flaws, like a fat sheep.

'The acting skills are exaggerated, the expression is contrived, and the pretending is too much! Wu Ming scolded in his heart, and walked away quietly, his position on the face was the palace guard, but in fact, he was the general banner of the "Kaiguang Office", the superior organization of the Wangfu Cat Team.

General flag, strange job title, but Wu Ming doesn't care, he likes to catch mice, as a vulgar monk, he hates thieves stealing things in the temple the most, these thieves are as disgusting as those wine and meat monks.

Xiyang City is becoming more and more lively, with the increase in the flow of people, there are more and more thieves, although the government has carried out major rectifications several times, and a total of no less than 200 people have been arrested, but there are still more thieves "admiring the visit".

Catching thieves is the business of the government, but catching thieves is also a good opportunity to train people, so the newcomers of the Kaiguang Office should be trained, and catching thieves is the best and most cost-effective way.

Thieves generally act collectively, the thief is secretly directed, and the apprentices are responsible for the actual operation, some are responsible for attracting the attention of the target, some are responsible for stealing, some are responsible for answering, and some are responsible for fishing in troubled waters.

Once you miss, you will either scatter like birds and beasts, or you will hurt people, either way, it is a test for the thief, so it is a good way to experience.

As a bait to lure the thief to the bait, the fat sheep soon attracted the attention of the thief, and first someone walked towards it carelessly, and when he passed by, he suddenly tripped and fell to the ground with an oops, and then shouted with grief and indignation:

"What are you stumbling over me!"

The fat sheep heard that the other party was unreasonable, and of course his face was full of surprise: "I didn't trip you!" ”

As soon as the words fell, a person behind him wiped his hand on the package he was carrying, and a hole suddenly appeared, and a money bag rolled out, and the man was about to reach out to take it, but saw a hemp rope tied to the money bag.

The usual anti-theft measures only need to cut the hemp rope again, but the thief chose to turn around and run, and the mice scattered between the lightning and flint, and with a whistle, the cats also reacted and chased after each other.

After hard training day and night, the cats in the Kaiguang Office were agile, and a few mice were pounced on before they ran far, and a few showed their sharp blades to hurt people, and were knocked to the ground by the cats three or two times.

Before the onlookers could react, all the thieves were arrested, and an old man witnessed the whole process on the side, and turned around to leave but was stopped by Wu Ming: "Old man, follow me to the yamen." ”

"Why are you robbing me, this is my life-saving money!"

The old man suddenly howled, and just when everyone looked at Wu Ming, he suddenly bowed down, dodged Wu Ming's probing hand, and ran out with a bang.

It looked like a skinny body, but it ran unusually fast, like a loach drilling through the crowd, and when he saw that he was about to slip away, Wu Ming, who followed closely, took out something from his arms.

Two oval stones were connected together with a hemp rope, Wu Ming aimed at the old man and threw it out, only to see the two stones spinning with the hemp rope, just hitting each other's legs.

The stone was wrapped around his legs with hemp rope, and the old man's feet froze and then fell forward, Wu Ming took out a short stick and threw it over, smashed the opponent's suddenly pulled out sleeve arrows into the air, and then rushed forward and kicked it down.

"The thief head, dare to hurt people with secret arrows!"

"Help, the thugs are on the street!"

"The thief shouts to catch the thief! Come with me to the Yamen and be honest! ”

When the whistle sounded, the city patrol soldiers rushed over when they heard the news, and when they saw that someone was caught stealing, they instantly came to their senses: "So bold, I dare to steal under the clear sky, go to the yamen!" ”

There is a shortage of people everywhere in Xiyang City, so the thieves who are caught are generally assigned to work as coolies, or the kind that has no wages, and there is a "subsidy" for catching thieves, and the soldiers and officials like this kind of work the most.

"Thank you so much for helping you catch the thief."

"Wherever and wherever it is, it is the duty of good citizens such as us to share the worries of the government and catch thieves."

。。。。。。

In a tea shop, Wu Ming and several other "old people" are drinking tea with the newcomers, and by the way, summing up the lessons of catching thieves, this tea shop is their "partner", and they are not afraid of someone eavesdropping.

"Everyone is doing well, but they ignore the thief, you know, if this thief slips away, it won't be long before a group of thieves will gather, it's really annoying."

"Chief, what if these thieves remember us and wait for an opportunity to take revenge?"

"Xiyang City is recruiting workers everywhere, these people are able-bodied but would rather be thieves, do you think they can come out after entering the brick kiln and quarry? Those owners will let go of these coolies who don't want money? ”

Wu Ming sneered, "Besides, if you catch a thief, remember the other party's appearance more, it's always good to have multiple hearts." ”

"But day and night, I can't always prevent it."

"It can't be prevented, if you are unlucky enough to be attacked and stabbed by these people, you have to leave clues no matter what, and the Kaiguang Office will definitely take revenge in the future, strip their skins, and hang them in the city to dry!"

"What do you mean?"

"If a thief dares to retaliate and harm one of my companions, they must know what it means to survive and not to die, and see who is ruthless!"

"Yes, these birdmen dare to bully the kind people, they really want to fight fiercely, see who is hot!"

Drinking and making mistakes, so Wu Ming and the others drank tea when they came out on weekdays, asked for a few plates of pastries to make do with lunch, shook up their spirits and continued to catch mice, walking on the street, Wu Ming continued to teach his experience:

"I told you, no matter what your skills are, you must first be able to run, if you really want to be attacked, you can still escape if you can't beat you, right? Not to mention catching thieves. ”

took out a money bag from his arms and swiped it with his hand, Wu Ming began to show off: "Believe it or not, even if a bold thief steals this money bag in a while, I can still recover it?" ”

As soon as the words fell, a gust of wind blew past him, and with a light hand, the money bag disappeared, and when he looked up, it was a person who grabbed the money bag and was running forward.

"Bastard, dare to rob my things, chase!"

"Boss, is it a trap?"

"Traps? Outflank! ”
