Qin Lin was not in a hurry to land, he ordered the official disguised as a captain to beat the canopy boat horizontally, and slowly turned around twice in the center of the river, while Luo Dongyan, who was dressed as a showman, sat on the bow of the boat with his entourage, pretending to be a soldier who bought a boat to swim in the river for recreation, and he hid in the cabin himself, raising his binoculars to carefully observe the situation on the shore.

Lu Yuanzhi also put his hand on the pergola and looked into the distance, muttering in his mouth: "Evil Gate, there is no sign of opening a furnace to mint money here, there is neither soot nor fire, it is impossible for a guy who is engaged in private casting to hide underground!" ”

Niu Dali also overlooked the temple hidden in the withered yellow bamboo forest, the red wall and yellow tile hall Yu Sensen, except for a few wisps of incense candles and green smoke, there is no trace of fireworks, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like a private foundry is hidden.

Besides, Zhulin Temple is a famous ancient temple in Longyou, there are many good men and women who worship the Buddha here, and the private casting workshop is set up here, isn't it easy to be discovered?

"Could it be that the hemp rope was only stored here for a while, picked up with bamboo pollen, and then transported to a real private foundry?" Lu Yuanzhi tried to make a reasonable explanation.

"No, it should be around here," Qin Lin put down his binoculars: "There is water transportation on the Qujiang River, and a large amount of charcoal needed to mint money can be transported from the upstream, and the private money can also be transported to Hangzhou and Ningbo downstream by water, and there are no farmers near the Zhulin Zen Temple, so they just do these things unknowingly." ”

Hearing Qin Lin say this, Lu Yuanzhi and Niu Dali also felt reasonable, but they couldn't startle the snake, but they also had to determine the goal, how could they do it?

"Let's start with the perimeter investigation!" Qin Lin instructed the canopy boat to come back to the south bank, anchor in the shallow water, and cook tea on the bow with Luo Dongyan on a small red clay stove, blowing a clear river breeze, very leisurely.

At the same time, seven or eight awning boats and passenger boats scattered on the river, and the officials and schools in Jinyi disguised themselves as foreign businessmen to inquire about the fishermen and boatmen on the river; On the shore, Longyou's messengers took a shoddy shadow map as a disguise, pretending to be chasing fugitives, and played tricks on the villagers in the villages.

After an hour, the information came back one after another: no one saw the fire of the coin furnace at night, and did not hear the unusual sound, as for the parked boat, because the Zhulin Zen Temple is a famous ancient temple in Longyou, the boatmen like to go to worship and ask for peace, and there are many boats that stop on the small hill where the temple is located every day, and there are many overnight boats, and no one notices anything else.

"In this way, if they were transporting copper and charcoal in the middle of the night, it would not be easy for anyone to find out," Qin Lin said and touched his chin.

"Also, there is another news," Jinyi Official Academy probably felt that it had nothing to do with the case, so it was a little hesitant, until Qin Lin stared at him, and then continued: "Some fishermen told us that the fish in the nearby river section have become difficult to hunt recently, and the fish have fled to other places, so there are many fewer fishing boats on the river. ”

Luo Dongyan nodded when he heard this: "No wonder I heard from the kitchen that the price of fresh fish is a lot more expensive......"

Saying that, Luo Zhixian blushed, and swallowed the second half of the sentence back, the gentleman is far away from cooking.

Qin Lin's eyes narrowed, his eyes shone brightly, and the information transmitted by the fish school was reduced, it was quite rich!

Luo Dongyan handed a cooked incense slice to Qin Lin and asked cautiously, "Qin Shaobao, what should we do next?" Send someone into the Zhulin Temple to investigate, or ......"

"Let's go straight in!" Qin Lin waved his hand and smiled at the surprised Luo Dongyan: "Isn't it possible that Ben Qincha can't steal a floating life and visit the ancient world to find a secluded temple and enter the Zen Temple?" ”

Under the small hill, on the bank of the Qujiang River, there is a small wharf, which is convenient for the good men and women who go to the Zhulin Zen Temple to enter the incense, Qin Lin and his party abandoned the boat here and landed on the shore, and walked up the stone steps with moss on both sides.

The two little novices at the gate of the Zhulin Temple were sharp-eyed, and they saw that Luo Dongyan, the parent official of the county, was wearing a green shirt and Confucian clothes, bowing his waist in front of him to lead the way, and he was respectful to the other person, and immediately knew that a big man was coming, one hurriedly ran in to report, and the other was busy to meet him.

In the temple, the abbot of Yuzhu quickly got the news and asked Ming Luo Dongyan about the height and appearance of the young man beside him, so he waved his hand to Xiao Shami, asking him to go out first to greet him, and he would come out after a little tidying up.

"Hahaha, there is a way in heaven that you don't go, and hell has no door to break into!" Hu Yunpeng turned out of the meditation room at the back, his face was full of joy, and said to Yuzhu: "This is the Qin Demon Tou sent to the door, you hurry up to stabilize him, and I will inform Gao Zuo." Hmph, this time, you must cramp and peel the skin of Qin Devil's head, and frustrate the bones and ashes, so as to eliminate the hatred in Lao Tzu's heart. ”

Hu Yunpeng's senior brother Duan Haiping died in the hands of Qin Lin, so he hated Qin Lin to the core, and now that the opportunity came, he excitedly reported the news to Gao Tianlong.

Yuzhu also gritted his teeth and walked towards the mountain gate, his kind and kind face was murderous, where is there a little bit of the bearing of a Buddhist monk? It's like an executioner with a knife to kill!

Just stepped out of the threshold of the mountain gate, Yuzhu was suddenly stunned: I saw more than a dozen large and small ships, had approached the north bank of the Qujiang River, countless strong men were stepping off the gangplank, although they were wearing people's clothes, one by one but vigorous, full of fierce spirit, sharp and narrow embroidered spring knives and black pressure electric guns, they were clearly hung on their waists - it was clearly the elite official school of Beizhen Fusi.

Not only that, there are also many men in civilian clothes, who are recognized by Yuzhu as the county's horse step archers, and there are also several large boats cruising back and forth on the river, and the unique fiery red color of the mandarin duck battle jacket is faintly revealed in the window.

With a jump in his heart, the hideous murderous aura on the face of the abbot of Yuzhu instantly retreated, and he turned into a kind old monk again, and took several steps down from the mountain gate, and put his palms together and said: "Which gust of wind blew Luo's parents to our temple?" The benefactor behind you, his eyes are full of anger, full of righteousness, he must be Qin Shaobao, who judges yin and yang, and his eyes are like electricity? ”

"Haha, the old monk really has some eyesight! I'll introduce you to this nobleman," Luo Dongyan greeted Yuzhu as usual, and nodded at Qin Lin: "Qi Qi Qin Shaobao, this Yuzhu master is the abbot of Zhulin Zen Temple, he has no other skills, and his gag is very deep." ”

Qin Lin laughed: "Because of the words of the monks in the bamboo courtyard, I stole half a day of leisure." Ben Qin's business has been done, before leaving Longyou, he went to your temple to find the secret, and he has not yet entered the temple to visit, just to see the master of Yuzhu, there is a faint sense of forgetfulness. ”

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say," Yuzhu bent sideways and led Qin Lin and his party into the temple.
