Fang Jin May, this is the plum season, and in previous years, this time will be the rainy season, so that the entire Chen Palace is shrouded in mist. This year, to catch up with the full moon banquet of the four princes, although there is no rain, but the Chen Palace is hidden in the slight water, over the eaves of the two palaces, has loomed, it is a near thing, there are also some flowers in the mirror in the state of the moon in the water, the concubines and concubines who come and go, wearing all kinds of clothes, look at it from a distance, the flowers are like brocade, but there is a poetic and picturesque feeling.

Pei Zhenwan carefully sorted out the items for the banquet in Penglai Palace, changed into civilian clothes, took the waist card of Penglai Palace, put on a hat, and went all the way to Anle Gate and went to the National Temple.

Luodu National Temple is on the east side of Chen Palace, the National Temple is different from Lingyun Temple, Lingyun Temple is in the southern suburbs of Beijing, it is a Buddhist temple facing all living beings, it has always been whether it is an official nobleman or a pawn of a peddler, as long as he is dedicated to the Buddha, he can go to worship, and the incense is vigorous. If it weren't for this, Pei Zhenwan would not have been able to meet Wei Miaozhi in Lingyun Temple.

However, the national temple is only for the royal duty to protect the country and pray for luck, except for the fifteenth day of the first month of the month when the people enter to burn incense, the rest of the day is not open, only with the ultimatum in the palace, can enter. If so, even if there is an official allocation, it is too weak compared to the Lingyun Temple.

If it weren't for that, how could Pei Zhenwan's 50,000 taels of silver impress the abbot? The abbot's intention is not to chase fame and fortune, but those forty monasteries can spread Buddhism and purify all sentient beings, which is a good deed.

Pei Zhenwan worshiped the Buddha, burned a few pillars of high incense, prayed for a peace charm, and went to ask the abbot to open the light, and folded his hands: "Thank you for the abbot's merits." ”

The abbot only followed the Buddha's rituals and said, "Amitabha, the donor doesn't need to thank you." ”

Pei Zhenwan carefully put away the peace charm and said to the abbot: "The temple in Penn has started, and the slave family will do what they promised." ”

The abbot smiled and shook his head, while plucking the Buddha beads, he turned to the back of the Buddha statue, and an indifferent word came: "Let go of the heart, let go of troubles, let go of worries, let go of worries, let go of delusions, donor, you can get a glimpse of the heart." ”

In the huge Daxiong Treasure Hall, only a monk and Pei Zhenwan who chanted in front of the Buddha remained, the rhythmic sound of the wooden fish tuk tuk tuk was mixed with the sound of the monks chanting the scriptures, under the agarwood scattered around in this hall, it was particularly quiet.

Pei Zhenwan stood quietly for a long time, tasting the abbot's last words, letting go of her heart, letting go of her worries, letting go of her worries, letting go of her worries, letting go of her delusions, and letting go of her delusions. What is to put down, what is to pick up, what is self, after thinking about it for a long time, my mood is much clearer, and I saluted the Buddha statue again before leaving.

There is an incense shop not far from the main entrance of the National Temple, which is bought by the people of Luodu, and the three incense burners outside the National Temple are lit, Pei Zhenwan tightens the hat, walks a few steps, and enters the incense shop in a flash.

Before he could take off his hat, an old man in the incense shop came up and knelt down: "Miss." ”

Pei Zhenwan hurriedly threw the hat aside, and reached forward to hold it: "Uncle Ding, what are you doing with such a big gift." ”

Na Ding Bo got up slowly, looked carefully at the little master in front of him, his hair moved, and he was distressed: "It's only been half a year, and the young lady has lost a lot of weight, and there is a lot more sadness between her eyebrows. ”

Pei Zhenwan looked at the newly added white hair on Ding Bo's sideburns, and felt sentimental in her heart, but she also smiled and said, "What did Ding Bo say, I'm doing well." I'm out of the palace this time, time is in a hurry, let's talk quickly. ”

Ding Bo nodded and responded, "We have already checked the things that Miss explained before. Cao Gang was obedient in Jingzhou, and he himself was extremely cautious, and it was almost difficult to get evidence. Fortunately, he has a son who is not angry, this Lanling prince has always loved to show off his family learning, so he confided a lot of things that should not be said, and we found some evidence of the exchange of interests between the Cao family and the local government. This is a page of the silver silk entry and exit records that we have copied, and the young lady will look at it. ”

Pei Zhenwan took it, and on this page, there was a dense record of all kinds of materials that Jingzhou Thorn History continuously sent to the Jiedu envoy, Pei Zhenwan couldn't help sneering: "There are so many this season, and the Cao family is not afraid of not being able to eat it!" He folded the paper in his hand and handed it back, and replied: "Only the evidence of money transactions is not enough, and how Cao Gang interfered in local government affairs must be substantiated." ”

"Miss, don't worry, we are still conducting a secret investigation, and we will definitely get favorable evidence within three months."

"Don't worry, I'm not moving them that quickly. You should pay attention to safety, do not be found in the follow-up, and if you can't break through for a while, don't forcibly visit the house. I don't have many relatives left, so you must not have any trouble. ”

Ding Bo was very moved, and wanted to tell Pei Zhenwan to take care of herself in the palace again, but he didn't say it in the end. The young lady has a tough heart and both intelligence, where do you need him to advise?

Pei Zhenwan's eyes moved: "Uncle Ding, I remember that when I was a year ago, I found out that when Cao Gang was serving as a festival envoy in Hedong two years ago, there was a case of extermination, and finally a subordinate escaped, who ran to sue the emperor but was chased and killed?" ”

"Yes, it was a local wealthy businessman surnamed Ma, who was engaged in local livelihood businesses such as grain, cotton and tea. Because the official family collected military funds and asked the local rich gentry to donate money and materials, the Ma family did not allow it, first resisted the government, and then threatened to stab Hedong to rob the private capital to the Luodu Yushitai. The Ma family was later inexplicably destroyed, and the Ma Fan who escaped was the son of the housekeeper, who was about to run all the way to Luodu, chasing the soldiers constantly, and was later rescued by the righteous people of the rivers and lakes, and disappeared since then. ”

"Ding Bo," Pei Zhenwan's eyes flashed with thought, and she ordered in a deep voice, "Find a few people to go to Hedong to find out Ma Fan's traces." In addition, in Jingzhou, he tried to find a way to release the news, and said that Ma Fan had appeared and was now taking refuge in a civil office in Luodu. ”

Ding Boluo thought for a moment, bowed his head and said, "We will definitely make proper arrangements." ”

Pei Zhenwan gently helped Ding Bo up, looked up and down a few times, and the concern came from the bottom of her heart, but she finally gritted her teeth and said, "I have nothing else to do, Ding Bo will have news in the future, and he will still take that path." Time is limited, so I'll be back, take care. ”

Ding Bo hurriedly bowed and saluted, the corners of his lips moved, and finally swallowed back the words of concern, until Pei Zhenwan fastened her hat, pushed the door out of the incense shop, and straightened up for a long time.

The plain palace dress, under the cover of the white curtain, left a desolation alone. And the hazy water vapor of spring, it disappeared so precariously, like a fairy who had fallen into the world, and now it was leaving like this.

Ding Bo looked at the figure that had long disappeared deeply, and for a long time, he let out a long sigh, and the half-hundred-hundred-long beard with the slight hanging corners of his lips also trembled sadly with this long sigh.

Such a heavy grievance, like a thousand pounds of burden, weighed on this girl who was not more than nineteen years old, that should have been the years when her heart secretly agreed, or the battlefield roared back and forth, became as calm and resolute as she is now. I only hope that he will get revenge one day, and Miss can be treated well in the coming years.
