After listening to the words of those bandits, Su Wuming nodded slightly, and then said to Ding Wei: "Lord Ding, I'm afraid I'm going to bother you to send someone to Tianmang Mountain and Lingding Temple!" ”

Ding Wei nodded: "This is easy to say, but Master Su thinks that Qi Fang girl has fallen into the hands of bandits?" ”

"I can't be sure about this, but the purpose of this gang of bandits is Miss Qi Fang, so the possibility of Miss Qi Fang being robbed by this gang of bandits is always greater!"

Ding Wei didn't say anything else, and directly ordered people to go to Tianmang Mountain and Lingding Temple to check.

Tianmang Mountain and Lingding Temple were not very far from Hangzhou City, so not long after noon, Su Wuming and the others got the news of those officials.

When the official rushed back, he was excited, because they had arrested four or five people, and Su Wuming glanced at it, and there was no scarred eye.

The four or five thieves knelt on the ground looking frightened, and at this time, the official who captured them replied: "We rushed to Tianmang Mountain, these guys are drinking wine and eating meat, and they are about to flee when they see us, we strive to chase and kill, and none of them are allowed to escape!" ”

Su Wuming bowed slightly, then looked at the bandit kneeling on the ground and asked, "Where did your leader Scareye go?" ”

Several bandits looked at each other, and finally they all shook their heads and said they didn't know.

Seeing that the thieves didn't know, Song Jingtian snorted coldly and said, "I advise you to explain honestly, otherwise you will feel good!" ”

"Your Excellency, we really don't know, since yesterday's kidnapping failed, Scareye has disappeared, and we don't know where he went!"

"Failed to tie the ticket? Will we fail or will we fail to kidnap Miss Qi Fang? Su Wuming hurriedly asked.

"It's the kidnapping of Miss Qi Fang, after we met you yesterday, we found out that the tie was wrong, so we fled in all directions, and then Scareye was unwilling, so after you left, he took us to wait on the road, but when it got dark, we didn't wait for Qi Fang and them, and in the end there was no way, we had to go back."

"Why are you so sure that Qi Fang will take that path?"

"We don't know this, it's Scarlet Eyes, what he says, we listen to it!"

There was nothing to ask about these bandits, and after imprisoning them, Ding Wei looked at Su Wuming and said, "What does Lord Su think about this matter?" ”

"Judging from the clues we have now, there are two possibilities, the first possibility is that Qi Fang was hijacked and hid by that Scareye, after all, we haven't caught Scareye now, and then Scareye is very sure that Qi Fang will definitely go that way, which is very strange, so the official is very suspicious of Scareye; The second possibility, that is, Qi Fang did not fall into the hands of Scareye, but she did not go home and left Baiyin Temple, then she must have gone to another place, a woman did not go home to another place, and did not tell her family, there are two more situations, one is that she feels that the place she went to is very safe, it is not worth telling her family, and the other is that she has a last resort reason for leaving, she can't tell her family, with the current situation, Qi Fang has a reason why she can't tell her family is more likely. ”

After Su Wuming said this, Ding Wei nodded slightly: "That's true, but there is another possibility." ”

"Oh, I want to hear about it!"

"That is Qi Fang was kidnapped by another group of people, and the other group of people is not the same group as Scareye, which means that there may be many people who are interested in this Qi Fang girl now."

Ding Wei's words made some sense, and Su Wuming hurriedly arched his hand and said: "What Lord Ding said is extremely true, but I want to miss it!" ”

Su Wuming didn't hide his omissions at all, which made Ding Wei have a little more good impression of him, but good feelings are good feelings, and he Ding Wei didn't agree with Su Wuming.

So at this time, Ding Wei continued to ask, "What is Master Su going to do next?" ”

"Next, the official is going to go to Baiyin Temple!"

"To the White Sound Temple?"

"That's right, I have just said three possibilities, the first of which can be sent by Song Zhutou to track down Scareye, and the second possibility, I'm afraid that only a trip to Baiyin Temple can be understood, as for the possibility that Lord Ding just said, you can send someone to Baiyin Temple to inquire on the roads in Hangzhou City to see if there are any suspicious people."

After Su Wuming finished speaking, Ding Wei nodded: "What Master Su said is good, okay, just do what you say!" ”

After leaving the Thorn History Mansion, Su Wuming and the others hurried to Baiyin Temple, although Baiyin Temple was not far from Hangzhou, it was also some distance, so when they came to Baiyin Temple, it was already dusk.

When Su Wuming and others rushed to go, it was when the twilight bell rang, and the sound of the twilight bell came from the Baiyin Temple, and it was low and mixed with Qingyue, which really looked like a musical song.

At this time, the monks of Baiyin Temple are fasting, and some pilgrims are walking back and forth, as if praying sincerely.

Su Wuming and others entered Baiyin Temple, and immediately found the abbot of Baiyin Temple, Monk Yin, and explained his identity.

In the Tang Dynasty, Buddhism and Taoism developed very prosperously, and the power of the two sects was one after another, at this time Buddhism in the Tang Dynasty was dominant, but as far as Su Wuming knew, a few years later, Tang Wuzong would demolish the Buddhist temple with the support of Li Deyu and recover the land of the temple.

This kind of behavior is very helpful to the country's tax revenue, and Su Wuming does not have any extreme views on it.

Because the monk is slightly fat, although he is kind and kind-eyed, but also faintly has an indescribable arrogance, I think he is the abbot of Baiyin Temple, there are pilgrims every day, and there is a lot of land under the temple, so he is somewhat disdainful of many people.

Although the monk was a little disdainful of Su Wuming, he didn't dare to show it blatantly, he folded his hands to Su Wuming, said Amitabha, and then hurriedly asked: "I don't know why Lord Su Shi is looking for a poor monk?" ”

Su Wuming didn't have a good impression of monks, because he felt that many monks were doing shameful things secretly under the guise of being pure-hearted and lacking desires, so after the monk asked, he immediately explained his intentions.

"Yesterday, Qi Fang, the daughter of a member of Hangzhou City, left, I don't know if the monk has any impression?"

Everyone else called Master Yin, but Su Wuming called Monk Yin, which made Yin feel a little uncomfortable, but he didn't dare to do anything if he was uncomfortable, and after saying Amitabha, he replied again and again: "Qi Fang's donor is a famous pilgrim in Baiyin Temple, she comes and goes, and the poor monks all know, but I don't know why Su Shizhu asked about this?" ”

"After Miss Qi Fang left Baiyin Temple, she didn't return home, so the official wonders if something happened to her, Miss Qi Fang has been in Baiyin Temple for many days, what she does every day, someone should know, right?"

The monk clasped his hands together again, said Amitabha, and then spoke: "The monks don't care very much about everything in the outside world, but after getting along for many days, they still see how much of Miss Qi Fang's behavior is in their eyes, I don't know what the Su Shizhu wants to know?" ”

"This official wants to know what Miss Qi Fang is doing in this Baiyin Temple?"

"The poor monk doesn't know the details, but he probably knows, Qi Fang's donor spends most of his time in the house except for wandering around the temple every day, if Su Shi wants to know the details, the poor monk can ask the apprentice who is in charge of Qi Fang's girl's diet to call for Su Shi to ask."

Su Wuming nodded, and then the monk called a monk who was about twenty years old, this monk had slightly smaller eyes and an expressionless face, but he gave people a very kind feeling.

"Master Su, this is the poor monk disciple Wuyuan, if you have any questions, you can ask him directly."

Su Wuming didn't want to waste time here, so after Monk Yin said those words, he immediately asked, "You are in charge of Miss Qi Fang's diet, have you found anything abnormal?" ”

Wuyuan said Amitabha Buddha, and then replied: "The monks don't speak, once the little monk brought food to the courtyard of Miss Qi Fang, and found a man's figure, the man seemed to hear the footsteps of the little monk, so he left in a hurry, the little monk felt that the man was a little suspicious, and asked Miss Qi Fang, but Miss Qi Fang said that no stranger had ever come to her courtyard, so I don't have to worry. ”

"Miss Qi Fang lives alone in a courtyard?"

"Yes, Miss Qi Fang will add a lot of sesame oil money every time she comes, and it is not too much to give her a separate courtyard."

After listening to Wuyuan's words, Su Wuming secretly despised in his heart, these monks were really a bit snobbish.

"Have you ever seen that man in the monastery again?"

"At that time, I only saw the back, and I left the courtyard through another door in a flash, so the little monk didn't see it clearly."

Su Wuming touched his chin and pondered for a moment, then asked, "Is there a pilgrim in the temple who is a young man?" ”

"Our Baiyin Temple is very prosperous, whether it is old or young, women and children, men and women, there are them, let alone young men!"

"So when Miss Qi Fang left Baiyin Temple, could there be a young man who also left at the same time or around?"

Wu Yuan thought for a while, and nodded again and again: "There is one, that person is a scholar, named Fang Ren, not long after Miss Qi Fang left, he also said goodbye and left." ”

"Who is this Fang Ren?"

"He seems to be a scholar in Hangzhou City, I heard that he is quite talented, and he has been to our Baiyin Temple several times before."

"How's his family going?"

"We don't know about this, but judging from the sesame oil money he gives every time, it shouldn't be very rich!"

They had nothing to ask about Wuyuan, Su Wuming led people to Hangzhou City, and they hoped to be able to rush back before the city gate was closed.

When I returned to Hangzhou City, it was getting late, the breeze was blowing cool, and a few people were riding horses on the streets with few pedestrians, Tang Xiong suddenly asked, "Brother Su, what should we do next?" ”

"Let's go to Fang Ren's house!"
