Chapter 327: Peeling the Silk
"Calluses on toes and hands, not ......"
"These two people are not Jinyiwei at all, these two people are simply farmers in the neighborhood, you see, what is the difference between their feet and palms and yours?" Meng Yan said sharply.
"What?"
Everyone was shocked that these two dead bodies were not Jinyiwei.
"Come on, immediately go to the nearby village to check and see if there are any young people who have disappeared in the last three days!"
"Whoa!"
"Master Meng, are you really sure that this is not Jinyiwei?"
"These two men are indeed similar in size and figure to our two brothers, but, yes is yes, no is no, the hand holding the hoe is not the same as the callus on the hand of the knife, and we brocade guards all wear boots, while the farmer wears straw sandals, and often goes barefoot, you take off your boots and compare them with these two people!" Meng Yan was very serious and said solemnly.
A brocade guard took off his boots and socks and leaned over to compare.
Although Jin Yiwei practiced martial arts, he was also a rough man, and those who practiced martial arts paid attention to the lower plate, so the soles of their feet were relatively wide, but the color of the two soles was naturally different, one was white and clean, while the other was dark, and it was full of cracks.
It's a pair of young people's feet, but it feels like the feet of a sixty-year-old man.
"Master Meng, you are really a god!"
"This official said that as long as our hearts are careful enough, we can find a trace of clues!" Meng Yan nodded.
"Why, can you explain to this official what's going on?" Meng Yan turned his head and asked again about the cause.
All composure and camouflage collapsed in this instant.
"Because of the junior brother. What exactly did you do? The abbot was also stunned, is this still the senior brother who has lived with him in Bao'en Temple for twenty years?
"Senior Brother Abbot, I ......"
"Senior brother, say it quickly, if you don't say it, the old man will have to hand you over to Master Meng." A side of the road.
"Why, if you say it now, this official may be able to count you as surrendering, and you can ask the court to give you a lenient sentence. But if you're so stubborn. Then the official can only torture you! Meng Yan snorted coldly.
"Lord Meng, this is the land of Buddhism, it's not appropriate to use torture, right?" A monk from Bao'en Temple couldn't help but say.
"Isn't there a punishment for monks who make mistakes?" Meng Yan asked rhetorically.
"Master Meng, Buddhism has punitive measures for monks who make mistakes. But. The punishments of your world are too cruel. Therefore, it is not suitable for use in the land of Buddhism. Fang Fang said.
"Rest assured, Master Abbot. The official will not let the blood defile this land. Meng Yan promised.
"Lao Qu thanked Master Meng for all the monks of Bao'en Temple."
"Why, did you force the official to torture you, or did you take the initiative to say it yourself?" Meng Yan asked again.
"Master Meng, now that you have found out, the poor monk has nothing to say." He closed his eyes as if he had been relieved.
"You really don't say it?"
"The poor monk really has nothing to say, Master Meng wants to know something, just investigate it yourself." Cause said.
"My lord, use the torture, it seems that this monk is unwilling to speak." Tang Xiaojian said.
Everyone looked at Meng Yan and waited for his decision.
"Master Abbot, what do you think of handing over the cause to this official?" Meng Yan turned his head and asked.
"Well, since the senior brother refuses to speak out, the old man has no reason to defend him!" A side of the road.
"Brother Abbot......"
"You don't have to say more, if the cause is really innocent, why didn't he say it?" A side of the road.
"Senior Brother Abbot is right, because Senior Brother really hasn't done it, why be afraid of them, just say it!"
"Senior Brother ...... Because of it"
"Uncle Yin, just say it!"
Because of his popularity in Bao'en Temple, many monks believed that he was innocent, and the surrounding monks persuaded him one after another.
Everyone was waiting for the answer to the cause.
However, the crowd's wait turned into a deep disappointment as time passed, for there was no reaction at all as they stood there indifferent.
"Take it down." Meng Yan waved his hand, it was indeed inappropriate to use torture in the land of Buddhism, and this monk could only take it back.
"My lord, what now?" Tang Xiao asked.
"There must be a helper in the Bao'en Temple, he can't do so many things alone, what about the two monks who were guarding the Dharma Hall just now?" Meng Yan asked.
"It's Faben and Fawu, and I saw them just now......
"Now that the Bao'en Temple has been blocked, they must still be in the temple, search for this official!" Meng Yan ordered.
"Whoa!"
"Mr. Cai, I'll leave the rest to you, I'll leave a team of Jinyi guards for you to control the situation and treat the wounded, and I'll take all the rest away!" Meng Yan ordered.
"My lord, where are you going?"
"This official is unwilling, he must chase back that day!" Meng Yan Road.
"But half a day has passed, and they must have gone far away that day, how can they chase it?" Tang Xiao asked.
"Not necessarily, they are now lost dogs, and they definitely don't dare to take the official road, and now it's cold, if you take the path, it will be more difficult, we don't need to follow their butts to chase!" Zhou Wencai, who is good at tracking, explained.
"It seems that what Uncle Sai said must be good."
"Lord Meng has won the prize!" Zhou Wencai said busily, he originally despised Meng Yan a little, but from Meng Yan's peeling off the cocoon just now and revealing the true face of the cause, he realized in his heart that this Meng Yan was able to achieve such an achievement, not because of nepotism.
"Then let's go ahead and wait for him!" Meng Yan nodded.
"Whoa!"
"Amitabha, Lao Wei hereby wishes that Master Meng Shi can catch the arsonist!" Fang Zhangzhang whispered a Buddha horn.
"The person who set the fire may not be that day!"
The uncle couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this!
"Tang Xiao, you stay to assist Mr. Cai in grasping the overall situation. Also, pay attention to the monks in the temple, no one is allowed to leave the temple for half a step before I come back! Meng Yan called Tang Xiao and commanded in a low voice.
"Don't worry, my lord, Tang Xiao knows what to do!" Tang smiled awe-inspiringly.
"Good!" Meng Yan gently patted Tang Xiao's shoulder, turned over on his horse, and Yu Zhou Wencai led dozens of brocade guards down the mountain gate and galloped away.
The qiē that happened in Bao'en Temple did not affect the festive atmosphere in the capital. And Jinyi Wei Nanya's atmosphere is very dignified!
Jinyi Wei Nanya Public Opinion Division 1,000 households. The mysterious judge who saw the dragon and the head and tail came back with injuries.
And he brought a guard with him.
Soon, the news of the "judge's" injury spread throughout Jinyiwei, and it had been many years since the last time the judge was injured on a mission.
Although his injuries were not as serious as those this time, he was left alone with a team of men brought by the judge. And it was actually an inspection by Meng Yan's subordinates who sent him back.
This is the heart of Gyeonggi. There are still people who dare to attack Jinyiwei. Even if this is not a rebellion, it is not far from rebellion.
"If it weren't for my uncle this time, I would almost never have come back!" Sai Xiaoyu sat opposite Guo Nu. said with emotion.
"Anyway, just come back." Guo Nu also felt afraid, if this Sai Xiaoyu really had an accident, who would help him take charge of the Public Opinion Division, and who would be able to do that to the point of Sai Xiaoyu?
"It seems that some people wish I died early!"
"Is it someone from the East Factory?"
"It shouldn't be enough, even if they want me to die, but at this time, isn't it the lice on the bald man's head, obviously?"
"Who could that be?" Guo Nu asked.
"It's not clear now, but, on the surface, they want to calculate their uncle this time, but the plan they used to divert the tiger from the mountain is so clumsy that anyone with a little brains can see it, but this also lowers our vigilance, and as a result, I plunged into it!" Sai Xiaoyu smiled bitterly.
"Who knows about the matter of you sending people to Hejian Mansion to find He Wendong?" Guo Nu asked.
"The people who know are my subordinates for many years, and I quietly ordered this matter to go down, and the two people who went were also my subordinates for many years, and they went under other names, so they shouldn't leak the news."
"Could it be the river?"
"I didn't contact that side, I sent someone directly, but I don't rule out the possibility, here in the capital, I have investigated He Wendong, maybe the opponent is alert?" Sai Xiaoyu Road.
"So, the possibility of a leak is too great?"
"Yes!"
"No matter who is behind you against you, it's true that they want to deal with the stone, I didn't expect that Richi would hide in the Bao'en Temple, this guy will really hide!" 、
"He let his subordinates disguise themselves as monks, this kind of remote temple, far away from the capital, is indeed difficult to find." Sai Xiaoyu Road.
"You left Shi alone in Bao'en Temple, can he handle such a complicated situation?" Guo Nu asked worriedly.
"I believe in my uncle's ability, he may be able to handle it better than me." Sai Xiaoyu said, "The current question is how do we report this matter to the Holy Lord. ”
"This is a tricky question, this Chinese New Year, such things happen one after another, can this saint's heart be comfortable?" Guo said angrily, "By the way, I forgot to tell you, last night Shi was patrolling the yamen and killed the twenty-one thieves who came to rob the prison, and the leader of them, you can't think of who it is!" ”
"Who is it?"
"He Renjie!"
"Did the people from the East Factory do it?" Sai Xiaoyu was surprised.
"Exactly, I let Xiaochen suppress this matter, but the paper can't hold the fire, and the saint will know sooner or later."
"Even if we put the real information up, then Wang Zhen will find an excuse to suppress it." Sai Xiaoyu Road.
"You mean, using these dead people to negotiate with Dongchang?" Guo said angrily.
"I think my uncle is also afraid that it will be too troublesome to leave these people, so he didn't leave a living mouth, the dead can't speak, this is He Renjie did it himself, or Dongchang Cao's father and son instructed him to do it, then there is no proof of death!" Sai Xiaoyu nodded.
"Yes, Xiaochen said that this is the meaning of the stone, at present, the various reforms of Jinyiwei are advancing in an orderly manner, the people's hearts are unstable, and they rashly start a war with Dongchang, which is not good for us, and it is very likely that the saint will retreat, and when the time comes, not only will it be unfavorable to the reform, but also the situation of our hard work will be destroyed!" Guo said angrily.
"Uncle's vision is far-reaching, beyond the reach of ordinary people!" A hint of fanaticism flashed in Sai Xiaoyu's eyes.
"Then use these corpses for our greatest benefit!" (To be continued......)
