Originally, there were Buddha statues in the temple and a backyard for people to rest, which was not surprising, but when Su Wuming and the others saw this, they were still greatly surprised, because this temple was too big, and it was almost beyond their imagination.

The Buddha hall is the size of an acre of land, enough for hundreds of pilgrims to kneel in it at the same time, and the backyard behind the Buddha hall is even larger, enough for thousands of people to stay, and the monks in the temple come and go to surprise everyone, there are too many monks here.

Everyone knows that being a monk has privileges and wealth, and then they swarm to become monks, so that now the fame and power of these monasteries are amazing, and they are no different from gangs.

After seeing this, Su Wuming suppressed the surprise in his heart, and then slowly regained his composure, and asked the Yuanhui monk who followed behind, "Do we search for it ourselves, or do you hand over the thief?" ”

Monk Yuanhui didn't give face at all, and snorted coldly: "There are no thieves in our temple who are so looking for, you ...... You are truly disgusting to use such despicable means against us. ”

"Since you won't hand over the thief, then we have to search, someone, search for me." Su Wuming gave an order, and those forbidden soldiers began to search under the leadership of Zhang Xuan, and the monk on the side showed a slightly nervous look on his face, but Yuan Hui was extremely calm at this time, as if he felt that he had not done anything wrong, and he was definitely not afraid of the search of these people.

Huguo Temple is too big, those forbidden troops and search for an hour, but not even a small half of the search has not been completed, and at this time, a monk about fifty years old suddenly ran from the backyard of the Buddha Hall angrily, he was wearing a very expensive robe, at a glance it was the abbot of the abbot Yuanji here.

Abbot Yuanji came to Su Wuming, pointed at Su Wuming and said, "You...... You are so bold that you dare to send someone to search my Huguo Temple? ”

Su Wuming shrugged: "I'm sorry, this official is investigating the case and has the power to search, but the abbot, if you are rude to this official like this, this official will have to arrest you on the charge of insulting the court officials, you must not know what to do." ”

These words were very calm and cold, but the blow to the abbot of Yuanji was huge, he was angry and nameless, but he didn't dare to say insulting or disrespectful words again, and in his last anger, he said to the two little novices behind him: "Follow me!" ”

Abbot Yuanji did not go back to the backyard meditation room, but went out of Huguo Temple, Su Wuming knew that he was asking for help, but he didn't care, and naturally he wouldn't stop it.

The search continued, and those forbidden soldiers collected a lot of jewelry, gold and silver in the Huguo Temple, and there were a lot of these things, which were not exaggerated in terms of a rich country, but except for these things that were collected, there were no other things at all.

It stands to reason that this doesn't make sense, Huguo Temple is so big, there are so many monks, it is impossible that there is not even a little illegal and criminal thing, if so, then the only explanation is that they hid some evil things earlier, after all, since the news that Su Wuming was going to deal with Buddhist monasteries, several days have passed, which is enough for these monasteries to make some countermeasures.

However, Su Wuming refused to stop there, and said, "Keep looking, you must find out." ”

The forbidden army continued to look for it, and at this time, Abbot Yuanji hurriedly ran back from outside, but this time he was followed by a richly dressed and imposing middle-aged man, and behind the middle-aged man were more than a dozen guards with knives, and the momentum was very arrogant, the man came to Su Wuming and snorted coldly: "You are Su Wuming?" ”

Su Wuming knew that the identity of the person in front of him was not ordinary, so he hurriedly arched his hand and said, "Exactly, I don't know what Your Excellency is called?" ”

The middle-aged man didn't seem to be used to introducing himself, but it was the abbot of Yuanji, looked at Su Wuming and snorted coldly: "This is Prince Yu, the cousin of the current saint, you are a small Sizhi of Dali Temple, how dare you speak to Prince Yu like this?" ”

As soon as he heard that the middle-aged man in front of him was Prince Yu, Su Wuming hurriedly bowed down and said, "I didn't know it was Prince Yu just now, I was offended, and I asked Prince Yu not to blame." ”

"Hmph, you offended the prince, according to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, you will have to be imprisoned for a few days." At this time, the abbot of Yuanji was very proud, and there was still a little bit of a monk's steady appearance.

At this time, Su Wuming had already regained his composure, and said: "The so-called ignorant is not guilty, just now the official really didn't know that this was Prince Yu, if he wanted to punish the official because of this, this Prince Yu's bearing was too much to underestimate." ”

Since ancient times, there have not been many people who have been offended and then convicted because they don't know the identity of the other party.

After Su Wuming's words were finished, Prince Yu snorted coldly, but he was helpless, today he came to help Abbot Yuanji get angry, but he didn't want to lose his demeanor because of this, otherwise if it was spread, his reputation would be damaged.

After frowning slightly, Prince Yu looked at Su Wuming and said: "Okay, this king will not punish Master Su for that little thing, this king is here today to want to know, why did you bring so many people to Huguo Temple?" ”

Su Wuming smiled lightly: "The prince said that he was joking, didn't Abbot Yuanji tell you when he went to look for you?" ”

"Abbot Yuanji naturally told me, but I don't believe that you Su Wuming came to Huguo Temple to make trouble, just because he wanted to catch a thief, to tell the truth, I heard about you demolishing the temple, but this king put his words here today, if you dare to demolish this Huguo Temple, this king wants the heads of your whole family."

Su Wuming behaved with sincerity and fear, and then hurriedly said: "Prince Yu said there, Xiaguan came here today, really just to catch the thief, Xiaguan is the director of Dali Temple, it is his duty to catch thieves, Prince Yu should not be in charge of catching thieves, but I remember that the court has regulations, this criminal punishment of doubtful cases, except for our Dali Temple, the Criminal Department and the people of Yushitai to conduct trials, others are not allowed to pass, Prince Yu should not want to overstep the bounds, right?" ”

Ancient cases, are handled by the three divisions, but small cases only need to be investigated by Dali Temple, and then reported to the criminal department, large cases are sent by the three divisions to try together, as long as it is involved in the case, no one else is allowed to interfere, and this is also for a reason, whether it is a theft or a homicide, once others intervene, they must do something in it, even if they don't do it, it is also reassuring, so the case must have special personnel to investigate, others are not allowed to interfere.

Prince Yu, as the prince, naturally knew this, so after Su Wuming said those words, he was so angry that he really wanted to immediately order Su Wuming to be tied up, but in the end he endured it, Su Wuming was telling the truth, and he always insisted that he was investigating the theft and not cracking down on these Buddhist temples, as long as it was not a blow to nearby temples, then he couldn't say anything.

After looking at Su Wuming and snorting coldly, Prince Yu said: "Okay, you don't care about investigating the thief, but if you want to demolish the temple, or be disrespectful to the abbot in the temple, this king will definitely not spare you." After saying these words, Prince Yu flicked his sleeves and led his men out of Huguo Temple.

At this time, the purpose of the abbot of Yuanji was achieved, with the words of the prince, he didn't believe that Su Wuming dared to do anything about his temple, and at this time, Su Wuming showed a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, and he respectfully escorted Prince Nayu away.

Not long after Prince Yu left, those forbidden soldiers finally searched the entire Huguo Temple, but except for the boxes of jewelry, gold and silver, they didn't find anything, Zhang Xuan came to restore his life, with a look of shame on his face, Su Wuming smiled lightly, and then said to the abbot of Yuanji: "The thief is really tightly hidden, and we didn't even find it, I think it's also because your temple is too big, and I can't really find him for a while, in this case, the official decided to stay here for the time being, Until the thief is found, as for the gold, silver and jewels that have been found, it is too dangerous to put them here, and you monks don't look down on these things, so I don't think it's better to give them to the emperor. ”

After saying these words, the abbot of Yuanji suddenly rushed towards Su Wuming like a madman, those jewels were his life, but now Su Wuming actually wanted to rob him of his life, how could he not be crazy, how could he not fight with Su Wuming?

It's just that the abbot of Yuanji is already a little old, and before he pounced, he was picked up by Tang Xiongyi with his hand, and snorted coldly: "Attacking the imperial court officials is a capital crime." After saying this, Tang Xiong threw the old thing out with a wave of his hand.

At this time, those warrior monks who were about to move hesitated, Tang Xiong's words just now still echoed in their ears, attacking the court officials is a capital crime, and now the emperor is hating them monks, if they really dare to attack the court officials, even if someone intercedes for them, I am afraid it will be useless.

A faint smile appeared at the corner of Su Wuming's mouth, and then ordered the forbidden soldiers to carry those gold, silver and jewelry into the carriage and send them to Emperor Li Yan, and before Zhang Xuan led the people to send the gold and silver back to the palace, Su Wuming whispered in Zhang Xuan's ear, after Zhang Xuan listened, his face was expressionless, and after nodding slightly, he left with his hands.

However, after Zhang Xuan left with a hundred forbidden soldiers and a few carts of jewelry, every monk in Huguo Temple showed a trace of anger on his face, and at this time, Tang Xiong asked with some curiosity: "Brother Su, what did you say to that piece of wood?" ”

Tang Xiong actually called that Zhang Xuan wood, Su Wuming thought it was very funny, before he met him, Tang Xiong was not much better than wood.

"You'll find out tomorrow."
