readx; "That's... And let them take these things? Wu Qiang hesitated and said, "If it's really as the two of you said, what is this... Isn't it dangerous to have a grenade, if it is so powerful? ”

"It's a bit dangerous," Sun Jisheng said, "but if their accomplices can be traced, maybe more grenades can be captured, so it's worth taking a risk." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info [Burning ^ Wen ^ Shuku] Commander Envoy, can you seconded a few soldiers to follow this group of people with the general; Li Xing immediately reported to the two Shangshu masters. The area around Zhengyangmen also asks the commander to continue to strictly investigate, because this place is too close to the imperial city. ”

Wu Qiang originally wanted to show that he was courting Wang Zaijin and Yuan Keli, but when he bumped into this incident, he felt that it was an opportunity to make meritorious contributions, so he agreed. He selected five clever soldiers, all took off their military uniforms and changed into civilian clothes, and obeyed Sun Jisheng's command. As for Nanjing Jinyiwei, Sun Jisheng clearly told them that there was no need to inform them. Wu Qiang understands that people don't even believe in Nanjing Jinyiwei, but he can gain trust, and he feels even more satisfied.

The few people who were brought back after a while, of course, did not match the appearance of the wanted criminal, so Wu Qiang signaled for release. These people gratitiously packed up those Buddha statues and left in a hurry, while Sun Jisheng quietly led people to follow.

I saw these people walking through the streets and alleys, and first found an inn to live in. Then the others remained in the inn, and sent only one out, and wandered the streets as if they were idling. Sun Jisheng left three people to monitor the inn, and he led the two to continue to follow, but saw the person turning around, looking at the flow of people around from time to time.

Sun Jisheng knew that he was observing whether anyone was following, so he hurriedly signaled the two not to follow too closely, and pretended to be idlers shopping. This area is the downtown area of Nanjing, and the streets are bustling, and a few of them hide in the crowd, which is also very inconspicuous. The man observed for a while, probably feeling that no one was following him, and suddenly went straight north, bypassing the imperial city, and heading straight for a low mountain in the city.

Sun Jisheng had never been to Nanjing before, so he asked in a low voice: "Two, what's in front of you?" ”

The two soldiers hurriedly replied: "If you go back to your lordship, there is Jilong Mountain in front, and there is Jiming Temple at the foot of Jilong Mountain. It seems that he went to Jiming Temple. ”

"Oh?" Sun Jisheng frowned and said, "Is Jiming Temple big?" ”

"It's big!" A soldier rushed to say, "It is said that this temple was built in the Western Jin Dynasty and is one of the oldest Buddhist temples in the south of the Yangtze River, known as 'the head of the four hundred and eighty temples in the Southern Dynasty'." After the Taizu of this dynasty settled the capital in Nanjing, he personally inscribed the name of the Jiming Temple, and demolished the old house to expand the new hall, covering an area of no less than 100 acres. Do you think that the temple inscribed by Emperor Taizu himself, can the incense not be full? ”

As he spoke, the man had already entered the mountain gate, and Sun Jisheng and the others followed closely. I saw that the pilgrims who worshiped the Buddha really rubbed their shoulders one after another, and the man also bought a few bundles of incense and entered the incense-filled Daxiong Treasure Hall to kowtow to the Buddha. Sun Jisheng stared at it with good eyes, and suddenly saw a monk whispering a few words to the man, and then led him back.

Sun Jisheng hurriedly followed, and was just about to follow backwards, when two young novices stepped forward and stretched out their hands to stop them: "If a few donors want to worship the Buddha, they can pay homage in this Daxiong Treasure Hall; Behind it is the place where the monks are cultivating, and the laity are not allowed to trespass, Amitabha! ”

When the two soldiers heard this, their eyes widened, and they were about to have a seizure, but Sun Jisheng hurriedly stopped them with his eyes, and then said with a smile to the two novices: "Two masters, I see that the building of this Jiming Temple is very magnificent, I just want to enter and rejoice, turn around and leave, and I don't dare to disturb the monks to cultivate." If the two masters can lead the way for me..."The Qi Lord who has passed through the desolation is free

So saying, he took a small ingot of silver from his sleeve and handed it to a novice. This is a lot of Taizhou official silver, that is, five taels of silver, which can be regarded as a lot of money in this era.

As the saying goes: monks don't love money, the more the better. When the two novices saw the silver of the white flowers, they were so happy that they couldn't care about the temple rules, and whispered to the three people: "Please come with the poor monks, let's talk about it first, we can only look at the flowers, and you can't enter any Buddhist hall, and you will come out immediately after turning around." ”

Sun Jisheng smiled and nodded, and then followed the two novices out of the Daxiong Treasure Hall, and walked through the Guanyin Tower, the Veda Palace, the Tibetan Scripture Building, the Buddha Hall and other buildings in turn. The doors of the halls in these places were open, and Sun Jisheng looked inside, but he didn't see the shadow of the man, so he continued to walk inside. When he was about to reach the end, he saw that there were four strong novices guarding the gate of a courtyard, and the novice who led the way whispered: "Several donors, there is a forbidden place in front of us, we should go back." ”

"Oh...," Sun Jisheng said quietly, "What's there?" ”

"That's the pagoda courtyard, and inside is the Medicine Buddha Pagoda." Shami replied.

Sun Jisheng raised his eyes, and sure enough, a nine-story and eight-sided pagoda with heavy eaves stood towering in the courtyard, and the weather was strict. His heart suddenly moved, and he thought that this Buddhist temple was a good place to hide people and belongings. Especially this stupa, it stands to reason that the stupa of the temple does not need to be strictly guarded, but it is heavily guarded here, and there must be strangeness.

Just thinking about it, Sun Jisheng suddenly saw the monk who had just led the person in the courtyard come out, and he was even more sure that the person must have gone up to the tower. It turns out that this thousand-year-old temple is also a den of thieves!

"My lord, let's go back and report to the commander immediately, and surround this place..."

Before the two soldiers finished speaking, Sun Jisheng hurriedly stopped: "Don't make a noise!" The stakes are high, and it is not time to startle the snake. The two of you are guarding outside the mountain gate of Jiming Temple first, and I will report to the two Shangshu lords immediately! ”

Half a moment later, when Sun Jisheng rushed to the Nanjing Garrison Mansion, Wang Zaijin, Yuan Keli, Cao Wenzhao, Cao Bianjiao, and Li Xing, who came back first, had already gathered here, anxiously waiting for his news.

After listening to Sun Jisheng's report, Wang Zaijin said with a frosty face: "Just now, I have used the flying pigeon to urgently notify Jingshi and Kaifeng, and it is expected that the saint will soon issue a thorough investigation." Let's also hurry up here, and be sure to find out the ins and outs of the grenade! If my prediction is correct, there must be a major conspiracy involved, and we must not be able to take it by surprise at this time. Sun Jisheng, Li Xing! ”

"The last general!"

"You have to keep an eye on the inn and the Jiming Temple! We can't use anyone in Nanjing, Cao Bianjiao, you lead fifty Guanning Iron Cavalry to cooperate with the Jinyi Guard! ”
