Received Liu Guangshi General Liu's family members to Hongjue Temple to worship the Buddha, Hongjue Temple mobilized, opened the mountain gate and waited to welcome the guests.

In the past, only King Kang Wu Gou, that is, today's saints, had this specification.

Since Liu Guangshi defeated the Great Chu Dynasty, took over the defense of Jiangning, and arrested the military and government, he is like the emperor of Jiangning, and the soldiers are searching everywhere under the banner of chasing the remnants of the Great Chu, like a wolf and a tiger, and no one dares to disobey.

Weng Jianguo has long become an ornament.

Worried that Liu Guangshi will hit the idea of Buddhism, the temples are waiting for it, and now the Liu family's relatives are undoubtedly the best time to sell well, and they will serve people properly and form a good fate, Hongjue Temple can naturally rest assured and avoid a possible disaster.

The abbot led the monks to welcome the distinguished guests, the bell rang, the priest opened the way, a boudoir girl surrounded by slaves, Wan Wan Tingting to the abbot of the Buddha salute, next to the mother immediately carved a pine box carved with auspicious clouds to the monks.

"My grandmother wanted to cast a golden body for the Bodhisattva in the temple, and my father was very filial, so he ordered me to bring some meager money, and asked the abbot to work on my behalf to fulfill my grandmother's wishes."

Before the arrival of the Liu family's daughters, the monk sent to lead the monk came back one step earlier to report.

The accompanying old servant said that the old lady of the Liu family came to Niushou Mountain to visit the Buddha more than ten years ago, encountered a heavy rain, and stayed in the Hongjue Temple, when the old lady had made a vow in front of the Buddha, and later failed to fulfill it because of various factors, Liu Guangshi was ordered by the emperor to lead the troops into Jiangning, the old lady remembered this, but because she was unwell and could not come in person, she asked her granddaughter to confess to the Bodhisattva for her.

Knowing the reason, and then looking at the wooden box, the abbot's eyes lit up, Liu Guangshi scraped the people's fat and ointment in Jiangning, the box must be filled with gold, thinking of a large amount of money to start, the abbot was full of smiles in his heart, his eyebrows were stretched, and he was kind to Ciguang.

"Tan Yue has a heart, and the Buddha will give grace to the old lady, and from then on she will be healthy and free from disasters and difficulties."

Politely introduced people into the main hall, accompanied the daughter of the Liu family throughout the whole process, and waited for the little girl to finish the Buddha, led the monks to chant and pray for Mrs. Liu, Zhang Luo exquisite fasting, and so on to send away the Liu family, the abbot couldn't wait to open the wooden box, saw the yellow and clear gold, praised and shouted: "Amitabha", took out half of it and put it in the dark compartment under the bed, and then handed it to the monks to be included in the public treasury.

After working for a while, I slept quietly, and my dream was sweet, and I was suddenly woken up.

"There are a lot of officers and soldiers in the abbot temple, and they are searching the temple, and many brothers and sisters have been arrested for questioning."

The monk who rushed to report the news said angrily.

The abbot hurriedly got up and hurriedly put on his robe and went with the monks to meet the officer who led the team.

A question to know, Liu family daughter out of the temple after the loss of whereabouts, Liu Guangshi sent the sergeant to find, but found that the guard was killed, the surviving maid said, they just left the Hongjue Temple encountered a large number of thieves blocking the road, killed the guards, kidnapped the girl, the officer suspected that the Hongjue Temple and the thieves colluded, without saying a word rushed into the temple to arrest people and torture.

The abbot desperately shouted grievances, and let him say something, but the officer never let go.

"Our four girls are not only grandchildren, but also raised in the old lady's room since childhood, the most pampered, but not to scold, the general has never shouted loudly, I am really afraid of falling in my hand, and I am afraid of melting in my mouth, if the general knows, people are lost in your Hongjue Temple, and it is polite to burn down the entire temple, I don't dare to bear this responsibility."

pushed away the bribe from the abbot, and asked the abbot to ask for more blessings for himself.

The cross-examination was over in a moment.

"These bald asses have very hard mouths, and they won't admit that they did the case."

The soldier returned, and asked for a long time to find nothing.

The abbot cursed in his heart: "Nonsense." Because it really has nothing to do with them, the fool will attack the pilgrims in his own temple, and he is glad that the monks were not tortured into a trick, so that Hongjue Temple can bear the injustice.

Liu Guangshi was lawless in Jiangning, and if he provoked him, he didn't know how to die.

In front of the abbot, the officer kicked the soldier and scolded: "Useless things, I have asked for a long time, but I have not asked a useful word, how can I go back and explain to the general."

The soldier dared to be angry and did not dare to speak, knelt on the ground and said, "There is a bald donkey who said that there are mountain bandits on Niushou Mountain who have formed a Qingyun Village, and they are rampant and domineering in Jiangning, and they may have taken away the four girls."

"Where's the stockade?"

The officers are not from Jiangning, let alone from Jianghu, so they naturally don't know the prestige of Qingyunzhai, thinking that they are little thieves who don't have long eyes, and they don't take them seriously.

"Boss, there are thousands of bandits in this village, and our team is only fifty people, will it be too much to rush to the door......

The enemy was outnumbered, and the soldiers advised their superiors to think twice before acting.

The officer added another kick and kicked this gutless rat who had grown up with other people's ambition and destroyed his own prestige to the ground.

"The Liu family's army is full of 14,000 people all stationed in Jiangning, the general can destroy the Great Chu, kill the gold thieves and flee, will be afraid of the thousands of thieves, come and kill them again, go back to report to the general, and wait for the soldiers and horses to destroy this thief cave and save the four girls."

Fifty against one thousand, the result will be a victory and a defeat, the officer is clear-minded, and he is unwilling to show weakness in front of the abbot.

"I'll spare you for the time being, if there is news of our girl, report to Jiangning City immediately, if you don't report it, the Buddha won't be able to protect you."

After intimidating the abbot, the officers gathered their men and horses and went down the mountain to transfer troops.

The monks had palpitations, gossiping about what happened to them, and the abbot was told not to speak falsely, asking everyone to return to their places, and ordered two cronies to go back to the meditation room to ask about the experience.

"Who gave the stockade? I'm not telling you to restrain your subordinates from interfering in worldly matters."

Fading from his solemn face, the abbot asked anxiously.

"Cixiu, being slapped a few times is like pouring beans."

Cronies are more anxious.

"Hurry up from the secret passage to the temple, go to the village to inform the big boss, and ask him to think of a countermeasure as soon as possible, which goddamn bastard, where is it difficult to tie up people, he actually ran to Niushou Mountain to do business, and threw the black pot on our backs."

Qingyunzhai was able to retreat from several encirclement and suppression by officers and soldiers, and the stronghold of Hongjue Temple was indispensable.

The three caves of the cunning rabbit, Hu Ding threatened the former abbot with the life of the whole temple nine years ago, forcing him to go out and give up the position of abbot to the people arranged for him, and wait for his own people to gain a firm foothold, and then secretly send a few people into the temple to assist him in controlling the monks.

There are only a very small number of people in the know, and outsiders naturally can't see that they are tired, and the rest of the monks are scribbling into Qingyunzhai camouflage and eyeliner.

The matter was big, and the cronies didn't dare to delay, so they changed their disguises, got into the secret passage with familiarity, turned out of a remote mountain road, and went straight to Qingyun Village.

After Hu Ding received the letter, he immediately convened a meeting of the righteous brothers, and at the same time sent spies into Jiangning City to investigate what was going on, Liu Guangshi's daughter was tied up was a big deal, even if it was for the sake of his daughter's reputation, but the mobilization of a large number of soldiers and horses would be a little troublesome.

"It's not right, all the heroes of the village have been dotted, and they won't come to us for bad luck, who dares to fight the idea of Niushou Mountain in the small door and small gang, and don't alarm the secret sentinel sent by the village, and bring so many people into the mountain to commit crimes, there are only a handful of forces with this ability, and they dare to tie up the daughter of Liu Guangshi, the living king of Yama, this matter is very strange, who is behind the calculation of Qingyun Village?"

Hu Ding is not a fool, and with a little scrutiny, he finds many doubts.

"This basin of dirty water can't be poured on us, shouldn't we find someone to dredge it up in Jiangning City, in case Liu Guangshi really sends troops up the mountain, it will be the village that suffers."

During the Chengping period, Qingyunzhai was never afraid of officers and soldiers, but this Liu Guangshi, who only had copper in his eyes, came to make money, God blocked and killed God, Buddha blocked and killed Buddha, and swept all over Jiangning in a short time, forcing all the people in the green forest to hide in the mouse hole and dare not show their faces.

Hu Ding restrained the brothers to stay in Niushou Mountain to avoid the limelight, but they still couldn't hide from those who had intentions to plant blame.

"Big brother asked me to go, and I'll be done as soon as I get things done."

Nie Dayi pounded his chest and took a big bag, after the village was allowed to enter but not to leave, he couldn't run horses or visit the kiln, he had nowhere to use the money, he was about to be bored.

"You, if you don't succeed enough and you lose more than you lose, let me stay in the village honestly, dare to take half a step out, just wait for me to open the incense hall and expel you from the Thirteenth Taibao."

Just because Geng Dayi was greedy for money and intended to assassinate Tang Yin, the reputation of the entire Qingyun Village was stinked by him, and the word Hu Ding is now equated with insatiable greed and unrighteousness.

Geng Dayi is also ashamed to shout everywhere, he has a black face and a black heart, dares to act, never sells his reputation, disdains to set up any bullshit archway, for the country and the people and he has nothing to do with him, the price can be negotiated, and the emperor dares to kill a Tang Yin.

Whoever stands in his way of wealth he cuts down.

Since he is a member of the Thirteen Taibao, others will naturally assume that this is the consensus of their righteous brothers.

Even the people of the green forest understand the truth that there are no eggs under the nest, and the Jin people occupy the land of the Han people, and they get a favor?

The Matou Gang, the Eight Immortal Caves, and the Songshan Tower, which participated in the siege and killing of Tang Yin, were marked as shameless and unrighteous on the rivers and lakes.

The wealth is moving, do it again, I believe that there are many people who are willing to kill Tang Yin, but they will not say it like Geng Dayi on the surface, isn't this looking for spray?

Geng Dayi is shameless, Hu Ding wants ah, the rich and majestic in his heart is written with loyalty and courage, comparable to the big archway of Guan Erge, the foundation was just knocked down by his brother, if it wasn't for the blood alliance, he swore to the sky never betrayed his brother, he would have strangled this unabashed idiot.

"The third brother will leave this matter to you, and the money should be spent, so be sure to see Liu Guangshi and tell him that in order to prove the innocence of Qingyunzhai, Qingyunzhai is willing to devote all the efforts of Qingyunzhai to find his daughter for him."

Jiang Ning and Qingyunzhai are not the only ones who do business with Hong Tingfu, Hu Ding has another channel, through them to contact Liu Guangshi, send sincerity, and become Liu Guangshi's pawn, killing officers and soldiers is a last resort.

Qingyun Village now has a family background, and it can't be said to abandon the village as in the past.

Bao Dan received the order, took a few brothers and the property used to dredge, and hurried down the mountain.

In case of Liu Guangshi, regardless of the attack on the village, he ordered all the staff to be on guard, and twice as many people were sent to patrol the mountain.

As soon as Bao Dan and his party arrived at the mountainside, they saw Geng Dayi riding alone and waiting on the mountain path.

While Bao Dan was selecting calligraphy and paintings in the treasury, and Hu Ding was too busy to take care of him, he slipped out of the secret passage and guarded the road down the mountain in advance.

"It's getting more and more disagreeable, you dare not listen to the words of the eldest brother, you really don't want to be brothers with us, give me back immediately."

Geng Dayi didn't buy it, and said with a wry smile: "I didn't betray my brother, and I didn't deceive my teacher and destroy my ancestors, why should my eldest brother cut off my robe and break my righteousness, unless he wanted to violate the oath of sharing blessings and misfortunes at that time, and was thundered by the sky."

"Is it easy to make a living with a thousand people? The eldest brother has the difficulties of the eldest brother, and if you don't understand him, why bother to make trouble for him everywhere."

Hu Ding is right, Qingyunzhai has passed the stage of being ruthless, if you want to live a famous life, you have to start earning some fame if you walk with your chest raised, Geng Dayi's recklessness and ignorance have caused them to be looked down upon by the people of the rivers and lakes, and there can be no next time.

"What did I do wrong, usually a few brothers don't take it alone when they're outside, and if something happens, it's not that everyone works together to settle it, why can't I be replaced, bullying me for being young."

Geng Dayi remembers clearly that his twelfth brother Kang Shenghua fell in love with the newly married eldest daughter-in-law of the Shoushan family in Fuzhou a few years ago, sneaked into the mansion at night and raped someone, was accidentally discovered, was besieged by dozens of guards, and almost died on the spot.

Afterwards, Hu Ding led their brothers all the way to Fuzhou to destroy the other party's door, and before he started, he said to the head of the family: "My brother can rape you, but if you hurt my brother, you can't."

When they were almost killed, they heard the woman cry out bitterly, "What is the right of heaven?"

At that time, Hu Ding also sneered and replied: "The word righteousness is the first, and the reason of heaven is behind." How heroic and happy, how to replace him will be reprimanded and warned.

Geng Dayi was dissatisfied.

"It's not what it used to be, big brother just doesn't want us to be bandits for the rest of our lives."

But he also knew that this younger brother, who didn't grow up by himself, couldn't listen to it for a while.

"Third brother, you just take me, I just want to go to the kiln to find a kiln sister to have fun, and I won't make trouble for you."

He didn't forget to mutter: "If you want me to say, if you want me to fight with the officers and soldiers with real knives and guns, and fight them until they are afraid, see who dares to hit our brothers with their ideas in the future."

He felt that Hu Ding would lose his fighting spirit when he became rich, and he was not a hero.

Seeing Geng Dayi's indignant appearance, he insisted on leaving him in the village, and he would definitely have a conflict with Hu Ding, rather than deepening the gap between the two, it is better to take him with him for the time being, and slowly follow the temptation, I believe that over time he will understand the hard work of the eldest brother.

"Just believe you this time, give me trouble again, and don't think I will intercede for you in the future."

Bao Dan clamped the horse's belly and walked forward, waiting for Geng Dayi to follow happily, and the remaining few people drove the horse to follow, and finally lived a good life for a few days, but the thirteen village owners were restless, always thinking about the fire and water, and many people in the village had complaints about him, but they dared not speak out.

According to the custom, when people in the village go out to run errands, they will go to the tea house located at the foot of Niushou Mountain to sit for a while.

The tea house is attached to Qingyun Village, and uses tea sales as a cover, mainly to inquire about and collect Jiangning affairs for the village, and will report it in time when it hears rumors that are not favorable to the village.

Before entering Jiangning to contact Liu Guangshi, Bao Dan first came to Chaliao to listen to the wind, and by the way, he asked why dozens of officers and soldiers entered the mountain, but no one informed him.

When we were about to go to Chaliao, Bao Dan Lerma stopped.

The tea liao with sparse visitors on weekdays is almost full at this time, and all of them are soldiers, and there are no familiar faces in the liao, only a young man with a crippled face and neck, hunched over on the table near the road to wipe the tabletop.

"There are officers and soldiers."

Geng Dayi also saw it, he was not frightened, but eager to try.

"Three, let's turn around and divert our ways! The great boss has instructed not to clash with officers and soldiers unless necessary."

Before the matter is clear, it is not advisable to make extraneous branches.

"I'm afraid of a bird, there are only a dozen people, Lao Tzu can put them all in place alone, and the people are not tied by us, why should we hide."

Geng Dayi disagreed.

"Dayi is right, you can't hide, eighty percent of the officers and soldiers have already seen us, and this turn of the head is not the same as telling people that we have ghosts in our hearts."

It is rare for Bao Dan to agree with Geng Dayi, but the reasons are different, although the distance is far away, the sight projected from the tea liao still makes him feel dangerous, and if there is a suspicious move, it is difficult to guarantee that the officers and soldiers will not catch up with the investigation, and it will not be clear if he jumps into the Yellow River at that time.

"No one is allowed to do it without my orders later."

Qingyunzhai has a secret stronghold in the north of the city, weapons, food, and all kinds of supplies, they don't need to carry eye-piercing long knives and big bows on the road, it is impossible to pretend to be ordinary people, and it is reasonable to disguise themselves as ordinary Jianghu people to rest in Chaliao.

"Especially you, put that dog temper away for me."

Special warning to Geng Dayi.

As he walked, he was still some way away from the tea house, and Bao Dan shouted on the horse, "Little brother come here......

The young man glanced up at Bao Dan, sighed, but did not immediately step forward, looked at the officers and soldiers sitting at the adjacent table stupidly, and waited for the officers and soldiers to nod, and then the young man strode to the horse.

"I'm sorry, the shop is full today, you can find another place to have tea."

Just after clearing a table, there were still vacant seats, but the young man shook his hand and shook his head to ask Bao Dan to find another place.

"New here, I haven't seen you before, where is Yao Da?"

Intent on finding out the news, Bao Dan asked the boy.

"Do you know my uncle?"

The boy exclaimed.

"My poor third uncle, just after noon, these military masters occupied the tea house, drank tea for an afternoon with ten coppers, and asked for refreshments and meat dishes, forcing me to drink and not worry, and actually asked my uncle to call his daughter out to accompany him, my uncle is a bachelor, where is the girl, begging grandpa to tell grandma to ask the military master to let him go, the military master launched a mad attack and pointed at my uncle's nose, saying that he was an accomplice of some kidnapper, and broke one of my uncle's hands and legs and did not treat it, and my uncle is now lying in the inner room crying."

Even though he was full of resentment, the young man only dared to whisper accusations.

"Who said that Qingyunzhai is the fiercest and toughest person in Jiangning, these military masters are, Qingyunzhai is going to fall this time."

Listening to the young man's chatter, Bao Dan still didn't understand anything, it must be Liu Guangshi who sent someone to squat in Chaliao, pointing at Qingyun Village, fortunately they didn't dodge, otherwise they would face pursuit, in Niushou Mountain, he was confident that he could escape, and it would not be a problem to kill the officers and soldiers, but whenever there were officers and soldiers who died here, Liu Guangshi would inevitably believe that Qingyunzhai was the murderer, and the four words of being a thief were enough to overturn the entire village.

"I'm afraid there is some misunderstanding, the military master will not attack the law-abiding people for no reason."

Bao Dan took the lead in dismounting, handed the horse rope to the young man, and deliberately amplified the volume.

This is tantamount to telling the soldiers that the young man is saying bad things about them, trapping the young man in injustice, whether it is Yao Da who is next to the cottage, or Yao Da's relatives, they are useless and immediately abandoned, showing their true colors as bandits.

"Look at what, I don't want to be the same as Yao Da, so I will feed the horses."

Geng Dayi's fist hit the young man's forehead, causing the young man to scream in pain, and accompanied Bao Dan to the tea house, without looking at the young man again.

Bao Dan saluted the soldiers, reported his home, pretended to be a disciple of Jiujiangmen in Fuzhou, and was ordered to escort the distinguished guests to Qixia Temple to offer incense, and tomorrow the distinguished guests will enter Jiangning to visit friends, they are responsible for playing the outpost, and they have just visited the dock in Qingyun Village.

Jiujiangmen is a famous and decent family, in Fuzhou for decades, the tree has deep roots, the current owner Pan Rong has a very high wrist, has a wide range of friends, and is deeply trusted by the government, if the local gentry need to be guarded by a long journey, Jiujiangmen does not say a word to send disciples to escort, because the etiquette is thoughtful, the people of the rivers and lakes, the green forest heroes will give convenience, every time it is smooth sailing, there are few accidents.

Sure enough, as soon as he heard Jiujiangmen, the leader Shi Jiang's face was much softer, and he cautiously asked some things about Jiujiangmen, and when he saw Bao Dan facing him one by one, Shi Jiang relaxed his vigilance and asked about the news inside Qingyunzhai instead.

"Qingyunzhai does a lot of business, the price is right, there is nothing they dare not do, but most of them are killing people and selling goods, and I have never heard of abduction and extortion."

It is related to the reputation of Liu Guangshi's family, and even the general will detour that Jiangning has recently frequently had beautiful ladies who have been robbed by bandits, and the people have begged Liu Guangshi, and they heard that the perpetrator is a person from Qingyun Village, so they came to investigate.

Bao Dan sneered secretly, from the Liu family's army to Jiangning, from a young girl to a woman with charm, as long as they appeared in front of them, none of them escaped the tiger's mouth of the soldiers, and they were bold and reckless, all the result of Liu Guangshi's connivance, and he was really a thief shouting to catch a thief.

"General Liu is the mouthpiece of the people, suffering from the people's suffering, first getting rid of the Qin thieves and then keeping the peace of the countryside, it is really a blessing for the people of Jiangning."

couldn't help but praise Liu Guangshi.

"That is, the general loves the people like a son, and always admonishes the sergeants not to disturb the people, but also to share the worries and relieve the labor of the people."

They are all human spirits, and they talk nonsense casually, and they talk happily with each other.

"What are you doing over there, don't you come to pour wine for your grandfathers."

After receiving a small box of pearls from Bao Dan, Shi Jiang already regarded him as his own and asked the young man to bring wine.

"Here we are."

The young man's face was not obvious, he scolded fiercely when he turned his back, and spit out a mouthful of saliva in the wine jar, then smiled Yingying turned around and approached with the jar, and the rules were full for everyone, Bao Dan casually received a few copper rewards, he accepted it, returned to the inner room, and rushed to Yao Da, who was crooked on the ground, his hands and feet were bent, and his mouth was stuffed with rags, and he was sweating all over his body.

"Dead old dog, I didn't settle this account with you, I used to have your surname."

The young man is Zeng Niu, and since the first time he went to Qingyun Village with Hou Tong, Tang Yin found that the tea house was strange, and he dared to do business under the nose of the bandits' nest, and it was not clean.

To move Qingyun Village, it is indispensable to control the eyes and ears, Tang Yin's first goal is to control the tea liao, a good fight, Yao Da has recruited everything, a nest of snakes and rats, relying on Hu Ding, the big backer, Yao Da did all the dirty things.

The severed limb was stepped on, Lao Yao screamed and fainted, the voice was too poignant, even though it was through the cloth, it still spread outside.

Bao Dan knew it but didn't hear it, Geng Dayi drank heavily, and didn't forget to say cool words and call Zeng Niu out, asking him to rectify the tea house and not let the rats scream.

After a few bowls of yellow soup, Bao Dan said goodbye.

"The remnants of Da Chu are wandering around, the front is not very peaceful, holding my waist card, when you encounter an interrogation, you will say that you are a dog-nosed brother, and no one will embarrass you."

Headed by the dog nose, the tea house is full of people from the Jingwu Sect, and it is very simple for the spies of the Horse Washing Bureau to pretend to be sergeants.

Bao Dan did not doubt him, and continued to move forward with Geng Dayi and others.

Half a moment later, the dog's nose shouted at everyone to leave: "Get on the arrow, put on the good arrow, put on the good arrow for killing."

There is a broken throat guarding the front, and soon Bao Dan will run into it, and the waist card is not a talisman but a command.

Since there is a tiger in front, there will naturally be a wolf in the back, and the dog's nose will lead people to outflank, so that Bao Dan has no way to escape.

"The horses were all fed with croton, and they were sloppy, and they felt good."

Zeng Niu manipulated the horse to ensure the success of the siege.

"You're doing a good job with Pusheng."

The dog's nose appreciates Zeng Niu's vision.

He handed a bow and crossbow to Zeng Niu.

"Speak your mind, and I'll give you the first arrow."

Before leaving, the two made an agreement, and if nothing went wrong, Goubi agreed to let Zeng Niu practice with a real bow and crossbow.

"Look at you, look at me, master."

Zeng Niu made a bold statement, carried the killing weapon on his shoulder, and strode towards the road where Bao Dan went.

Send to death.
