CHAPTER XXVI
"Humph!" , Seeing Bai Zhen's hesitant appearance, Qianlong snorted; Bai Zhen immediately knelt down, "The villain doesn't dare to hide it, the villain has had a trick with the thief, see that the weapon in his hand is a pair of iron point steel piercing, there are very few people who use this weapon in the martial arts, the villain has seen Wan Qinglan, the head of the Zheng Wangfu, use it for so many years." ”
"Wan Qinglan? King Zheng's Mansion? Qianlong asked through gritted teeth.
"Yes, Wan Qinglan spent 20 years of hard work on this pair of iron point steel, and defeated more than ten martial arts masters in the capital in a row, so he was hired by Prince Zheng as the head of the palace's martial arts instructor, and this matter is well known in the capital." , Bai Zhen replied sweating profusely, "Your Majesty, the imperial guard Rui Dalin had worked with Wan Qinglan before, and he had also seen Wan Qinglan!" ”
"Chuan Rui Dalin!" , Qianlong shouted out of the window, and after a while, Rui Dalin also knelt next to Bai Zhen, "Rui Dalin, tell me what kind of weapon Wan Qinglan used?" ”
"Back to Your Majesty, that Wan Qinglan used a pair of iron dotted steel to wear, and there is no other semicolon in the martial arts!" , Rui Dalin replied respectfully.
"Bai Zhen, you go down first!" , Qianlong waved his hand, Bai Zhen got up and retreated, Qianlong paced a few circles in the room restlessly, Rui Dalin's kneeling on the ground was numb but he didn't dare to move; After a long time, Qianlong returned to the chair and sat down, "Rui Dalin, you carefully explain the events of that day again." ”
"Yes, Your Majesty; That day, the villain was captured, and Wan Qinglan was locked in a room, I heard them say that when the bandits were buried, it was the day when the villain died, who knew that there was a man in black who came to save Wan Qinglan the night before, saying that the matter that Prince Zheng asked to check had been found out, because he was afraid that the villain would make a noise and alarm the bandits of the Red Flower Society, so the villain walked together, and the man in black pulled Wan Qinglan aside at the intersection and said a few words, and then the man in black was going to kill the villain. ”
"Do you remember what that person said to Wan Qinglan?" , Qianlong's voice revealed a hint of fear.
"At that time, it was too far away, and the villain only heard the words 'Da Nei', 'Life Experience', and 'Southern Shaolin'!" This question has been asked by Qianlong several times, and every time he answers, Rui Dalin is sweating profusely, hating why he has such long ears and heard things that should not be heard.
"Alright, you go down!" , Half a day later, Qianlong waved his hand and drove Rui Dalin out, "Remember, this matter must not be mentioned to anyone, otherwise be careful of your Rui family's full head!" ”
"The villain doesn't dare, the villain doesn't dare!" , kowtowed a few more times before Rui Dalin trembled and retreated.
"King Zheng's Mansion! South Shaolin! Qianlong slapped his palm on the table, "I can't easily move King Zheng's mansion, and I can't deal with you Nan Shaolin?" Bai Zhen! Come in for me! ”
"What does Your Majesty command?"
"You immediately go to Fuzhou with my secret decree, and let General Fuzhou take someone to burn the South Shaolin Temple for me! If anyone runs away, take you and ask! As he spoke, Qianlong's pen walked the dragon and snake, and a secret decree was completed.
"Yes! The villain obeys! Bai Zhen didn't dare to ask more, cautiously took the secret order, and rushed to Fuzhou after going out; Half a month later, Fujian Putian South Shaolin was surrounded by the Qing army soldiers and horses, the temple Tianhong and other monks were buried in the fire cave, only the first Tianjing climbing dog hole of the Dharma Academy escaped.
"Lord Bai, Fujian is not just this Shaolin Temple, in addition to Putian, there is also a Shaolin Temple in Quanzhou, is that one burned or not?" , Fuzhou General Xinzhu touched his beard and asked.
The cold sweat on Bai Zhen's head came down, and he didn't dare to ask more when he received the decree, what if Qianlong wanted to burn Quanzhou Shaolin Temple? So he gritted his teeth, "Quanzhou Shaolin accommodates the thief, the crime should not be forgiven, and it will be burned together!" ”。
So Quanzhou Shaolin Temple also suffered a disaster, all of them died nine out of ten, and only a few lay children survived the siege and survived. Among them, Hong Xiguan fled to Guangdong to meet Fang Shiyu, and Cai Dezhong, Ma Xingchao, Fang Dahong, Li Shikai, and Hu Dedi's five disciples went north to the Central Plains, doing everything possible to find out the reason why the temple was burned, and launched a life-and-death battle with officers and soldiers, and later generations called them the five ancestors of Shaolin.
Just when Qianlong made the decree, in the palace of King Zheng in Beijing, Wan Qinglan was bidding farewell to Prince Zheng, "Lord, the villain has been loved by the prince since he entered the palace, and the prince does not think that I am rude with these crops, and I am entrusted with the important task of the head of the head of the school. ”
At this time, Prince Zheng Qitonga is the grandson of the fourth son of Zilharang, Balkan, fifty-eight years old this year, and has served as the Minister of the Guard, the Commander of Manchuria under the Red Banner, the Minister of the Guard, and the Commander of the Zongren Mansion. After Wan Qinglan came back from the northwest to report to him that day, he was also very puzzled, he didn't send someone to find out the life history of that important person in the big house? What's going on? Although he vaguely heard some rumors about Qianlong's life experience during his tenure as the commander of the Zongren Mansion, he just listened to it, and then forgot about it, and he didn't connect the two things for a while; After listening to Wan Qinglan's begging, he tried to keep it a few times, but when he saw Wan Qinglan's resolute attitude, he no longer insisted, "Since Teacher Wan has made up his mind, this king will not keep it; Butler, go and fetch a thousand taels of silver for Teacher Wan's travel expenses. ”
After respectfully thanking him, Wan Qinglan left the palace the next day, and he did not go home. Since returning to the capital to report the news to the prince, seeing Prince Zheng's puzzled expression, Wan Qinglan vaguely felt that he was caught in a big conspiracy. Anything that involves the big one, it will definitely not be a trivial matter, for the sake of your own life, it is better to go far!
Early in the morning of the second day, Chen Jialuo returned to Hangzhou City, and after staying in Zhejiang for so long, the matter was almost handled, and Huo Qingtong in the northwest was estimated to be fighting with Zhaohui, and he should go over to help; In the original book, Huo Qingtong just surrounded Zhaohui's army in the Heishui camp, and this time he had to destroy all this army in the past. Without this army that could only fight, the northwest of the Manchu Qing Dynasty would be chaotic for a few more years, and it would have more opportunities for itself.
"Huh? The person in front of you is so familiar? Chen Jialuo was drinking tea in the teahouse, his eyes inadvertently swept the street below, but he found a familiar face, and was thinking about where this person went, but he didn't expect to meet here. PS: The first twenty, add more, I do what I say, and I will add more when I am fifteen; Pushing down a friend's book "Qingyunxian Road", Puxiang is a real old author, and the festival is still full.
