Taihu Lake is vast, and it is under the jurisdiction of several counties, which belong to different places, and if you want to arrest him, you have to go to Nanjing to issue this sea fishing book, and there are all kinds of procedures, which makes the people in the government quite impatient. In addition, you can't take advantage of it at all, and there are dead and wounded, but you have to make up for the silver that burns and buries the wounds, who wants to care about such things.
Pu Yuan was also ruthless on the water and land back then, never left any life, and there were not many people who reported the case, and occasionally there were people who escaped and went to the government, and the government also shirked and procrastinated, and did not dare to care at all.
The name is created, and he has to give him some face in black and white, even if he is a big man on the sea, he must inform this Puyuan when he goes to the south of the Yangtze River, and even directly hand over the goods to him for distribution.
Xu's hand cotton field and fertile field have, Songjiang Mansion is the world's first-class weaving town, a large number of cotton cloth is exported every year, and there are all kinds of treasures from the sea, Xu's business is also a lot.
With the status of the Xu family, Xu Jie is a courtier, and his protégés are all over the court, so there is no need for them to say hello to any green forest powerhouses.
But the goods on the ship were valuable, but they were targeted by Pu Yuan, and some of the goods of the Xu family were inconvenient to hang out the banner of the Xu family, so Pu Yuan made a move on the water.
Ordinary people's goods were robbed, the shopkeeper was killed, and they reported to the government, but the government only said that they would handle the case for you, but it was a prevarication, and in the end, you waited until you died, and there was no result. But the Xu family's merchant ship was hijacked, so it would be terrible.
The Xu family didn't report the case at all, the person who presided over the Songjiang Xu Mansion at that time was Xu Jie's younger brother, a white body with no merit, he just wrote a post and handed it to Nanjing, three days later, Ying Tianfu, Zhenjiang Mansion, Changzhou Mansion, Suzhou Mansion, Songjiang Mansion's fast catch, messengers jointly swept the waterways, and there were local garrisons involved, what made this Pu Yuan feel even more shocked was that those lawless tycoons on the sea, and those tyrannical salt lords in Jiangbei actually intervened.
There is no thief who can't be caught by the government, it's just that he can't catch it, such a big force, it is said that the eunuchs in Nanjing town and the guards in the family of Wei Guogong are involved, how can they not catch people, and the monks of Puyuan are surrounded in the lair, so they have to be captured.
I thought that I would be punished by the canon, but this Puyuan is really good, and he can actually ask someone to speak in front of several clan elders who are in charge of the Xu family, saying that the Xu family is a wealthy family, and people need to do things in the open, and this secret thing also needs people to do it, and I am also considered capable, with me, I will definitely be loyal to the ground.
There is a legend that the Xu family contacted Xu Jie, who was in Beijing at the time, and then Puyuan was saved, and his subordinates only killed a few cats and dogs, but the rest of the people became monks in Changzhou Mansion, and turned into a White Horse Temple inheritance, and there was a Buddhist monk who was a monk, and Puyuan became a Puyuan monk and a master of Puyuan.
The world is the same practice, the Gaomen clan often has a family temple, and the inconvenient people in the family are placed in the family temple, this monk can not be subject to many official rules, there is such and such convenience, of course, this Puyuan monk does not necessarily eat vegetarian and do good deeds after becoming a monk.
The small people in the local area don't know the inside story of the news, but Lu Da and other small people who walk the rivers and lakes know a lot of inside stories, the blood on the hands of this Puyuan monk is not less than when he was a bandit, and compared with that time, there is the Xu family as the backstage, well-equipped, the government can handle it, and it can also recruit outlaws, and the greater the power.
Of course, killing people for the Xu family can't be done in vain, Changzhou, Suzhou, plus Huzhou and Jiaxing in Zhejiang, if there is any shady business, he Puyuan has to share a few percent, otherwise the business will not be done.
If such a story is placed in the future of the storyteller, it can be regarded as a good story, but in reality, such a story should be asked, whether the magistrate has dereliction of duty, whether he has let the tiger return to the mountain, whether he has colluded with thieves, and whether he has harbored murderers.
After Lu Da finished speaking, Wang Tong beckoned Wu Er and Shi Qi to come over, and asked:
"Will this Puyuan Temple be clean? Can't fault anyone? ”
Hearing Wang Tong's question, the corners of Shi Qi's mouth twitched and immediately stabilized, while Wu Er couldn't help but grin a few times, and hurriedly said:
"The subordinates are out of shape, the Hou Ye is not strange, there are a lot of people in the green forest who use the temple to make their nests, the temple government will not check, and it is rest assured to put anything, they are just fake monks and not real monks, how can they really let them suffer, and their subordinates dare to pack tickets, in this Puyuan Temple, there must be women in the backyard, and there must be thieves."
Shi Qi also said:
"Hou Ye rest assured that places like temples are good places to hide things, only if you put things in outside, there is no reason for the temple things to be released, and you will definitely be able to find out."
Wang Tong smiled and nodded, the messenger who led the way in front of him was already frightened when he heard the conversation between Wang Tong and Lu Da, and he didn't dare to get too close, and they couldn't hear the words in the back.
Outsiders say what Huishan Puyuan Temple, but what is the high mountain near Wujin Zuo, the capital city of Changzhou, then again, the temple has to rely on incense, and it is necessary to make it convenient for the donors to come and go, and it must be really built on the mountain, and the rich and noble people who are willing to waste that strength.
Therefore, this Puyuan Temple is actually three miles outside the city, in fact, it is a large manor system, although the weather is hot in August, there are quite a lot of people who go to worship the Buddha and worship incense on the road.
Wang Tong, a person wearing a full cloth, walked on the road, and there was a prefect's guard of honor in front of him, which was really eye-catching, and along the road he could see someone hurriedly running towards the Puyuan Temple, which was obviously to report the news.
It was the main road to Napuyuan Temple, but the horse team that had been following the march on the shore was gone, and I didn't know where to go.
Plate armor needs a cotton and linen lining, the weather in Changzhou is still hot in August, Wang Tong is already sweating is not too comfortable, but fortunately, this Puyuan Temple is in front of him.
Wang Tong went to a lot of places, saw a lot of towering buildings, this Puyuan Temple is really magnificent, high walls and black tiles, both sides of the mountain gate are tall trees, the shade of the trees covers the sun, you can see the temple stupa and Buddha hall, and then with the ethereal cigarette smoke from the big incense burner, there is really a feeling of pure land of Buddhism.
The prefect led the Qin Mission, and the Qin Messenger and a cadre of personal guards were all wearing armor, and the news of the Puyuan Temple was already known, and the Puyuan monk led a group of monks to greet him.
Wang Tong stopped his horse in front of the temple, and Luo Zhifu knew that things were not good, and he didn't dare to say anything or do anything, but just dodged away and let the servants disperse the onlookers.
"The presiding officer of this temple came to Benhou"
Wang Tong raised his voice and said, the Puyuan monk over there pronounced a Buddha name, and walked over slowly, if according to Lu Da's description, this Puyuan should be around fifty years old, but he eats well, he has been pampered for more than ten years, but he looks like he is in his forties, he is fat, his face is full of oil, he is wearing a robe of Buddha beads, and he is really a monk.
In front of Wang Tong, he first announced the Buddha's name, then folded into a salute, and said:
"Lord Qincha, the poor monk is polite."
"Puyuan, when this official was just by the river, there were a few bald donkeys who committed murder there during the day, and they wanted to kill innocent lives in front of this official, these bald donkeys claimed to be from your Puyuan Temple, how do you explain?"
Pu Yuan didn't see any expression on his face, but bowed down with righteous indignation and said:
"This temple is a quiet place for Buddhism, don't talk about it."
"It's a good look of mercy"
Wang Tong snorted coldly on the horse, but the backhand was drawn out of the sheath, and no one thought that the knife would be drawn if he spoke well, and some people around him had already exclaimed, Pu Yuan's arm subconsciously moved towards his waist, but then returned to normal, but this action fell into Wang Tong's eyes.
"The thief is bald, and he actually wants to assassinate the official"
Don't say much, Wang Tong's legs clamped the horse's belly, the horse rushed forward, Wang Tong's hand rose and fell, Na Puyuan didn't react, his head had been cut off, and he made a few turns on the ground, and blood gushed out.
The audience was silent at first, and then there was an exclamation and screaming, and the prefect of Naluo who came over also trembled with his hands, not knowing what to do, Qin Cha couldn't kill people like this in broad daylight, not to mention that this monk was still a well-known and powerful monk in Changzhou Mansion.
The monks of Puyuan Temple who followed out of the temple to greet Wang Tong were in a commotion, Wang Tong's personal guards had already rushed forward, divided into two sides, the number of monks was not less than that of the personal guards, but Wang Tong's personal guards were heavily armored and holding troops, but they were shocked that the monks did not dare to move.
But the pilgrims who were watching just now were a little confused, Wang Tong leaned over on the horse, and picked open the robe of the Puyuan monk with a knife, and there was indeed a three-foot short knife on the waist of the Puyuan monk.
Pu Yuan was born as a thief, and it is not uncommon to carry weapons with him, but a Buddhist monk has a sharp blade when he meets Qin Cha, this is not easy to say, not to mention that Lord Qin Cha also shouted out that voice "stab", and those who are close can see the short knife on Pu Yuan's corpse.
This slowly spread in the crowd, the frightened crowd slowly quieted down, but it turned into a whispered discussion, Na Luo prefect came over and looked, all trembling all over, Qin Cha killed the monk is troublesome, but there are monks who want to assassinate Qin Cha, this trouble is even greater.
"Governor Luo, this bald donkey assassinated Benhou, fortunately, the Changzhou government is brave enough to punish the villains, hurry up and mobilize your subordinates to come and round up."
Listening to Wang Tong's words, Luo Zhifu can be regarded as relieved, this is considered to be a merit offset, and even meritorious, and hurriedly turned around and arranged for people to go, and some monks wanted to escape back to the temple when they saw that the situation was not good, but they were immediately shot by the archers who had climbed the wall, and a bunch of people were forced outside.
Seeing that the situation was under control like this, a person from the crowd on the side of the road rushed out and knelt down, crying:
"Lord Qincha, save the children of the little people"
