Yang Ting and Zhang Xiaozhong surrounded these two houses, and when Cheng Yue sent Xiao Zhen and Ma Fu to give orders, they immediately broke down the door. Thirty-two monks were found in the Hongdu Tong Mansion and hid in the cellar dug by themselves in the backyard, among which was the Zhisen monk. And in that official mansion, thirteen monks and nuns were found, all of whom were spies sent by Basi. Although the person was found, because the Tuiguan's whole family believed in Buddhism, he refused to let Zhang Xiaozhong take him away, and took out a weapon to attack the woman who was searching everywhere. Zhang Xiaozhong was furious, and in order to set an example, he killed 27 members of the Tuiguan's family on the spot. The screams in the house were incessant, and the blood flowed out of the door for hundreds of steps.

When the news came out, the entire Lin'an Mansion was shocked, and then it became clear that what the Metropolitan Governor said was true. If these people are not caught, they will become a great disaster in time. The other small families who refused to cooperate also became honest at this time, except for a few stubborn ones, and handed over the monks hiding at home.

At dusk, in order to prevent the criminals from escaping at night, Cheng Yue finally issued an order to destroy the door. The herald's guards delivered black arrows to the already impatient troops. The spirits of the army were lifted, and they shouted inside one last time, and then they slammed open the door and rushed in. The last dozens of families in the city who harbored monks, regardless of whether they resisted stubbornly or not, were all beheaded by the swarming Cheng Yue army. Killing people's heads and bleeding like rivers, screams and cries could be heard almost everywhere in Lin'an City, and there were more than 1,000 people who reported it in the end.

Cheng Yue looked at the numbers in his hand, and he couldn't help but be a little afraid. Now that they haven't become a climate, there are so many people desperately covering them, really have to wait until the incident happens, how many people do they have to kill to be able to resist? Even if you could kill them all. His great cause is finished.

Yang Ting came to Cheng Yue's side. He said, "The monks and nuns who have been found have been brought in. Do the Governors want to interrogate them? ”

Cheng Yue breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "I don't want to try it again, I'll leave it to you, if there is a new discovery, tell me." Tomorrow, I will push all these people to the palace gate and behead them, and I will personally go to the court and submit the "Religious Law" I have drawn up to the royal authorities. ”

Yang Ting said: "What if there are local officials who refuse to do so? ”

Cheng Yue snorted coldly: "That just allows me to see clearly who can be used by me." Whoever does not listen to the command, moves what he can, and cannot move for the time being. Keep all the accounts down, and sooner or later they will have to pay them back. ”

Yang Ting was ordered to retire.

Cheng Yue stood up, loosened his muscles, stretched his waist, and walked briskly towards the inner house, a big hidden danger was solved, and he was in a good mood.

Seeing Cheng Yue coming in easily, Ding Niang hurriedly asked, "Xianggong, is the matter done?" Is it still going well? ”

Cheng Yue grabbed her slender waist and kissed her on the lips. Said: "All the people involved should be killed, and those who should be caught." Even if there are fish that slip through the net, it is not a problem, and you and I have won a big victory. ”

Ding Niang smiled, patted her chest and said, "That's good, otherwise the concubines won't dare to let their sisters out." ”

Guan Sheng asked in a trembling voice, "Xianggong, how many people have you killed this time?" It won't be too much, right? ”

Cheng Yue put down Dingniang and sighed: "It's not less, I didn't want to kill so many people, but there is no way to do it." As he spoke, he hugged Guan Sheng into his arms and said, "There are dozens of families who do not listen to repeated persuasion and have to shield those thieves and monks, and the army has eliminated these people in accordance with my orders." ”

Guan Sheng hugged Cheng Yue tightly and asked with a crying voice, "How many people are there?" Dozens of households are a lot of people, how many people are there? ”

Cheng Yue said in a low voice: "One thousand one hundred and thirty-nine people, not counting the monks and nuns who will be executed tomorrow, if you add them, it will be almost sixteen or seven hundred." ”

Hearing this, Guan Sheng buried her head in Cheng Yue's arms and cried bitterly, she knew that Cheng Yue was forced to do so, but when she heard that so many people were killed, she still couldn't accept it for a while.

Cheng Yue gently hugged Guan Sheng and made her cry in her arms. Guan Sheng is very strong on the surface, but in fact, she is a very weak and soft-hearted girl inside, I don't know if I hurt her this time.

As soon as Guan Sheng cried, the concubines felt uncomfortable, and the laughter and laughter on weekdays disappeared during the meal, and the conversations between the concubines were also soft, and the point was up. Cheng Yue knew that it would take time to resolve this, after all, under his own orders, more than a thousand people were in different places, and it was strange that they could still laugh happily.

After eating a little dullly, Cheng Yue took the Guan sisters' hands and sent them home as usual.

Guan Sheng leaned calmly and weakly on Cheng Yue, and had not yet gotten rid of this matter. When they arrived at the door, the two sisters were about to say goodbye to Cheng Yue, but Cheng Yue did not leave as usual, but took their hands and went straight into the house.

The two sisters of the Guan family were surprised, happy and ashamed, and the servants of the housekeeper all hid away when they saw this. They had already been commanded that most of the governors should come in and not hinder them.

Cheng Yue came to the Guan Mansion for the first time, and under the leadership of Guan Gao, he turned left and right, and soon arrived at their boudoir.

Although the mansion is large, the two live in the same room and are each other's companions.

Cheng Yue entered the house, because it was arranged by two talented women, especially the pipe sheng, everywhere was exquisite and elegant, ingenious, Cheng Yue liked everything, and constantly praised the two sisters. Guan Sheng's little face smiled again, and he proudly told Cheng Yue in detail about the origin of the furnishings in the house.

Forty tusks were taken from ten keys for a prototype piano, and the remaining thirty were still piled up in the house with little place to stay.

In later generations, this thing was forbidden to be traded, and there were still many elephants in the Song Dynasty, so there was no such problem for the time being. Cheng Yue also saw ivory for the first time, and Guan Gao saw that he was interested, took a lamp, and asked him to take a good look.

The ivory is delicate and tight, smooth and warm, it is indeed an excellent material, Cheng Yue couldn't put it down, turned back to the pipe and said: "I want to use it to make mahjong for the ivory that can't be used, but it is different from the current mahjong, tomorrow I will hand over the pattern to you, you make it, you can use it to pass the time when you are bored." ”

In the Song Dynasty, mahjong has been quite popular, Li Qingzhao is a master, and every fight must win, gambling is strong, some people also make "Mahjong Sutra" handed down.

The two sisters also play mahjong, and they thought of having a delicate pair of ivory mahjong. It's also good not to play with it. There was a mischievous smile on their faces.

Cheng Yue struck while the iron was hot. Chat with them about the playing style of Da Song mahjong. The two sisters, you said a word to me, and chatted with Cheng Yue enthusiastically. In fact, the way mahjong was played at that time was not much different from later generations, and the most different thing was the name of the cards.

Cheng Yue kept holding Guan Sheng, talked for a while, and saw that Guan Sheng's mood had greatly improved, kissed each of their sisters on the face, and turned around to leave.

Guan Gao was in a good mood, and he saw that Cheng Yue was leaving. Unconsciously tightened his hands, not wanting to let him go. A trace of mist appeared in Guan Sheng's eyes, and he also pulled Cheng Yue to hold on.

Cheng Yue's heart softened, and he said with a smile: "Don't let me go, then I'll stay here tonight, Dao Gao will accompany me, and Dao Sheng will wait next to me." ”

Guan Gao was so ashamed that he hurriedly put his hand down, Guan Sheng glanced at him, turned Cheng Yue's head over, and kissed him lightly on the face.

Cheng Yue was itchy and unbearable by the tenderness of Guan Sheng. For fear that he would really stay directly, he hurried out of the boudoir of the two sisters. It's not a good time to take them in.

The two sisters looked at Cheng Yue's departing back and were reluctant to give up. Cheng Yue came for the first time, but he only stayed for such a short time.

When Cheng Yue stepped out of the mansion, it was obvious that the people in the mansion were a little disappointed, but in fact, Cheng Yue was also a little disappointed.

Originally, he was supposed to go back to the house after leaving the housekeeper, but Cheng Yue didn't know why he walked to the Meng Mansion by mistake?

Zhao Miaohui is very busy, she has to prepare tomorrow's manuscript in the house, and the table is full of records sent by Yang Ting, Zhang Gui and others. Tomorrow, there will be countless people waiting to see what happened today, and she will defend Cheng Yue well and persuade those who believe in superstitious Buddhism. Now that she finally fully understood what Cheng Yue had said to her at the beginning, her work was indeed crucial, and without this newspaper, Cheng Yue would have faced much greater difficulties.

When the servant woman of the family told Zhao Miaohui that the governor asked to see her, Zhao Miaohui was very surprised. It's already night, what is Cheng Yue doing? Didn't he have some terrible news again, and he even asked him to inform himself in person? Hurriedly instructed the servant woman to take Cheng Yue to the living room, and she immediately went out to greet her.

Cheng Yue didn't know why he arrived at the Meng Mansion on a whim, but suddenly he wanted to see Zhao Miaohui. After sitting down in the living room, the servant woman lit incense and withdrew, Cheng Yue sat there alone and closed his eyes slightly, completely forgetful, indescribably stable and comfortable.

Zhao Miaohui changed into a Luo skirt with broken gold sprinkled flowers, took out the perfume she bought privately, and clicked it on her body a few times, she was still a little inexplicable after doing it, what did she do so solemnly?

Cheng Yue saw that Zhao Miaohui was dressed up carefully before coming out, and smiled slightly. Although he has many wives and concubines, only Zhao Miaohui can make him feel calm at first sight, and the faint boredom in his heart just now disappeared without a trace at the moment when Zhao Miaohui appeared in front of him just now, it turned out that he was here for this.

Zhao Miaohui saw Cheng Yue's smile and knew that Cheng Yue noticed that she was dressed up carefully, and somehow blushed a little, and said, "The Metropolitan Governor came here at night, what are your orders?" ”

Cheng Yue said: "You have been working very hard these days, one is to visit you, and the other is to ask you if anyone threatens you." "I feel bored after saying that.

Zhao Miaohui looked at Cheng Yue with a pair of beautiful eyes, and felt that Cheng Yue was a little strange today. As he said, there is no need to make a special trip so late, and said: "The governor of the capital has something to say, what else is there to be polite to the concubine?" ”

Cheng Yue was a little helpless about Zhao Miaohui's cleverness, women, why can't you be confused sometimes? In a hurry, Shengzhi said: "I killed more than a thousand people today, and I will kill hundreds more tomorrow, I am worried that you will feel uncomfortable, so I came to take a look." ”

Zhao Miaohui's expression darkened, and Cheng Yue said to her heart. After all, she is a woman, and Cheng Yue killed so many people this time, she always felt that she had something to do with her, and she couldn't bear it, so she kept working hard to try to solve it. Cheng Yue was still thinking about her feelings in her busy schedule, and Zhao Miaohui was very moved. immediately cheered up and said: "Most of the governors are too worried, although the concubine is a woman, she also understands the truth that state affairs are important. The Metropolitan Governor's move was really helpless, and the concubine also wrote it in tomorrow's newspaper, just to let the people understand the hard work of the Metropolitan Governor. The concubine body is nothing, what the metropolitan governor wants to do is just to do it, and the concubine body is willing to serve the dogs and horses for the metropolitan governor. ”

Cheng Yue stood up and said with a smile: "Since that's the case, I'll go back, don't stay up too late, I can send Dao Gao to help you if there are not enough people." ”

Zhao Miaohui smiled lightly: "It's just that I've been busy these days, and the people in the bookstore are also very good and can handle it." If this continues to be the case, it will be troublesome for the Metropolitan Governor to ask the little lady to advise. ”

Cheng Yue was inconvenient to stay for a long time, so he said goodbye, and this time he replaced Zhao Miaohui to send him out of the house. Zhao Miaohui walked behind Cheng Yue, looking at Cheng Yue's firm and upright back, but a burst of sadness suddenly appeared in her heart, and she vaguely realized that Cheng Yue was different today compared to usual.

Lonely.

Zhao Miaohui looked at Cheng Yue, who was walking alone in front of her, and her mind was filled with these two words. What kind of person is he? Why does it seem lonely? He has so many wives and concubines, all the soldiers under his command, and the warriors are like clouds, and countless people are counting on him and relying on him, but who can really understand him? Where did he come from? What's going on in his home? Why does he know so many things? Who taught him? How many mysteries are there in him? Such a person is smiling every day, but is he really happy in his heart? Why did he come to me out of the blue? Can't say a few words and are leaving again? Who does he think of me?

The more Zhao Miaohui thought about it, the more she felt bad, and immediately stopped herself from thinking about it anymore, but her understanding of Cheng Yue had deepened one layer more. Maybe she is the only one in the world who realizes how lonely Cheng Yue is.

Cheng Yue walked to the door of Meng's mansion, turned his head and waved goodbye to her, and then walked back to Cheng's mansion alone. Zhao Miaohui silently watched him leave behind him, and suddenly felt like crying. turned around and walked back to the study to continue working, but this inexplicable feeling lingered.

After a good night's sleep, Cheng Yue waited by Lu Qi and Liyun to put on court clothes, and just walked to the door of the mansion, Xiao Zhen and Ma Fu had already led people to wait there.

Cheng Yueqi said: "I haven't called you yet, why are you here?" What's the matter? ”

Ma Fu said: "Dadu Governor, since the fourth watch last night, there have been foolish men and foolish women kneeling in front of the Dadu Governor's Mansion to ask for the lives of the monks and nuns who are going to be executed today, and now they are gathering more and more, Shi Xiu Dingyi and they are explaining to them outside that they want them to disperse, but they are refusing." We were afraid of accidents, so we led our troops to guard here, and there was a circle of men and horses outside to guard the wall. If the Metropolitan Governor wants to go to court, should he go out through the side door? (To be continued......)
