Zhenbong's eyes moved slightly, looking at Zhenguang.

Zhenguang hurriedly scolded the monk who came in to pray: "My lord is talking here, what are you doing in a hurry?" If it's on fire, why don't you call the rest of the temple to put out the fire?! ”

Zhenluo always had a cold face, and when he heard the words of the monk, his face became even more gloomy, and he stopped talking.

The monk hesitated and ran out.

"It seems that there are a lot of things to deal with in the temple, and the host master doesn't have to accompany him, and the official still has to handle the case, so if there is any need, he will find the host to explain!" Lord Wu waved his hand.

"Yes." Zhenbong stood up, bowed and led the monks out.

As soon as they left, Master Wu snatched the pu fan from the hands of his entourage and quickly fanned it a few times, turned his head and asked Song Ju'an: "Mr. Song, hurry up and make an idea for this official, how to take down the gang of robbers in Sanqingshan?!" The people beat the drums every day, and the officials couldn't even sleep well, especially that Tian Aniu! All day long, urge the official to return his wife justice as soon as possible! Catch and can't catch it! The official checked and checked, but there was no result! ”

Song Ju'an walked out from behind unhurriedly, and arched his hand: "My lord, the plan for today is to capture that gang of robbers." ”

"This official knows, but the yamen is full of a group of wine bags and rice bags! Those robbers are familiar with the terrain, and they can't help them at all! People from the surrounding villages are missing, women are humiliated to death, and these things are all too big for the officials! Otherwise, I wouldn't have invited Mr. Song over! ”

Song Ju'an paced and thought.

The county magistrate, Wu Dajiang, continued: "Mr. Song has any good way, just say it!" This official fully cooperates with you in the investigation of the case! Grant every wish! After saying this, his face was not red and his heart was not beating, and he didn't know who the county master was.

The county government was too far away from Sanqing Mountain, and in order to save time back and forth, Wu Dajiang temporarily handled the case in Qingyang Temple, and asked people to bring those suspects and prisoners' families over, so that Song Ju'an could interrogate and record again.

Song Ju'an read several case files, went to meet with the victim's family, and inspected the scene.

He didn't know why he agreed to come to handle the case, Xu didn't want to teach in the school, Xu was relieved and was about to raise his sick brain, in short, it wasn't for the Wuxian order who was repeatedly invited.

When he returned to the temple, Han Liang was waiting at the gate of the temple.

Following Song Ju'an into the meditation room that had been cleaned up for him, Han Liang immediately said, "Master! Dushi is gone! ”

Song Ju'an's expression was grim, she could actually escape under Han Liang's nose?! Han Liang's martial arts are strong, and he can fight with the four masters at the same time, and ordinary people are not his opponents.

"What has Du done? Where is it missing? Song Ju'an lifted his robe and sat down slowly.

Han Liang told him what happened this morning.

"Are you saying that the last place where the Du clan appeared was Qingyang Temple?" Song Ju'an leaned back in his chair with a cold expression and asked him rhetorically.

Han Liang nodded, "I was afraid that she would avoid me and enter the city alone, and I didn't find anyone in the temple, so I chased along the road to the city, and I didn't see anyone, thinking that she was still hiding in the temple, so I came back immediately, and I also heard about the Wuxian order inviting you to come here." ”

Song Ju'an tapped his fingers on the armrest of the chair and said in a deep voice, "You go back to the village to see if Du Shi has gone back." ”

Han Liang gave up his hand and withdrew.

Song Ju'an walked out of the door, recalled the case as he walked, and by the way, he took a look at the backyard of the temple, walked not far from the Zen room that was on fire, and found that it was only the things in the house that were burned, and the house was fine.

The two masters, Zhenguang and Zhenluo, stood there, watching the monks pack up their things.

Zhenluo took a piece of drawing paper from the monk's hand, it was an unfinished Buddha image, the Buddha's face was kind and broad-eared, solemn and solemn, and it seemed to be merciful to all beings. Zhenluo walked to Mahiro with the portrait in hand.

Song Ju'an saw that the two of them had a few words, and they had an argument, and when they got closer, the two found him and stopped arguing.

He took the portrait and looked at it, and nodded appreciatively, "Which master is this from?" He asked.

With a calm face, Manra folded the paintings.

Zhenguang smiled and said to him, "A guest who came to the temple painted it and stayed." ”

Because Song Ju'an followed Wuxian Ling, the people in the temple also respected him.

Song Ju'an nodded, and asked again: "Why did the monk's room catch fire?" ”

"I don't know why, it's been checked." Zhenguang continued.

He went around to the front of the gods and Buddhas of several halls, looked around, and when he arrived at the Daxiong Treasure Hall, he found that all the women and women who came to the temple would enter the apse alone and draw lots to determine the good fortune and evil.

It is said that the sign of Qingyang Temple is very effective, and many pilgrims come here for divination and calculation.

He followed a woman and walked inside, and immediately a monk stepped forward to drive him away, and the two catchers who followed Song Ju'an far away immediately stepped forward to chase the monk with knives.

Song Ju'an calmly followed the woman in, looked around, and found that it was just the woman who drew lots, handed them to a monk inside, and the monk analyzed the lots, and he turned around and walked out.

The two catchers behind him quickly caught up, and one asked with a smile: "Mr. Song, doesn't the master really want the brothers and the gang of robbers to fight hard, right?" ”

"yes, yes! The people in the county government are here, and there are only a dozen of them, and I am afraid that I will lose my life! The other rubbed his hands together and laughed.

"Mr. Song, your mind will turn around and think of a way for your brothers! I'm old and young, waiting for me to feed my family with this bit of silver, I can't work hard! ”

"I heard that those robbers are murderous without blinking!"

The two monks walked quickly towards this side with a jar, their heads down, their steps looked very flustered, and one accidentally bumped into Song Ju'an's body.

I don't know what's in that vat, but it smells rotten and stinking from afar, which is disgusting.

"Go, go, go! What to do! Eyes in the crotch! One of the catchers scolded while covering his nose.

The jar was a little heavy, and it was even heavier if I didn't know what it contained, and the two monks carried it almost with all their strength, bumping into them, and seeing the two catchers next to Song Ju'an, they hurriedly put down the jar and knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

No matter how calm Song Ju'an was, he covered his nose.

"Fuck off! Kneel what kneel! Don't get out of here! The other catcher said loudly, and the two of them hurriedly ran to a short distance and stopped, fanning the wind.

The two monks immediately got up and prepared to lift the jar.

Song Ju'an frowned and asked, "What's in there?" Why does it stink so much? ”

"Yes...... Yes, it was a rat that fell into the water tank, and it took a long time to find out. A monk muttered.

The two catchers hurriedly waved their hands to let them go quickly, and one of them ran over and pulled Song Ju'an over, "Mr. Song, I'm almost faint!" What kind of pure land is this! You're so calm! ”

Song Ju'an's face changed, and he suddenly walked a few steps quickly to hold on to the rockery and bent over and vomited.

Two catches: "......"

Bypassing a row of monks' rooms, in front of which is the residence arranged for the Wuxian Order in the monastery, the courtyard of solitude is much cleaner than the one that is much cleaner, and the flowers and trees are lush and green.

In the gazebo, the breeze was blowing, Wu Dajiang was lying on the couch with his eyes closed, one leg was crossed on the other leg and shaking his feet, and a wet towel was placed on his forehead.

The two catchers were guarding outside the pavilion, and when they saw Song Ju'an coming, they hurriedly said hello.

Although in the eyes of these fast catchers, Song Ju'an is just a poor people, with clean sleeves and weak writing, but he has always been calm, pampered and not shocked, and has helped the county master handle two cases.

The county magistrate wanted to invite him to go to the yamen to do business, which was many times better than farming under the sun, but he refused, I don't know why!

Wu Dajiang heard the voice, woke up, took off the handkerchief on his forehead and sat up, and when he saw Song Ju'an standing outside, he hurriedly smiled and said, "Mr. Song, come in!" Panic outside! ”

Song Ju'an walked into the pavilion and sat down with his hand bowed to Wu Dajiang.

Wu Dajiang looked comfortable physically and mentally, got up and rubbed the towel in the basin of clean water a few times, wiped his hands, and said with emotion: "The official can sleep today!" In the past few days, the people have gone to report to the official one after another, and there are still people lying outside the gate of the official crying at night, which is almost fatal! By the way, how did Mr. Song check? ”

Song Ju'an told Wu Dajiang about some of the things he inquired about.

"Adults don't have to worry about being defeated by robbers, I'm afraid there will be no less than a hundred or ten people going to Sanqing Mountain tomorrow, and all of them are adult and strong men." Song Ju'an said.

Wu Dajiang's eyes widened, "Why?" ”

"At this time, the victim's family is in a state of grief and indignation, I told them that tomorrow the officers and soldiers will kill the bandits, they must also want to kill the enemy, and this year the victims are more than these families, I asked them to bring the family men tomorrow, and then screen out a hundred people, and then go to the yamen to receive a reward of 100 yuan, if you kill and capture a bandit alive, the reward is five taels of silver, life and death are at your own risk, no profit and no go, someone will come, and there are many people." Song Ju'an said firmly.

Wu Dajiang also understands that the power of the people at the bottom cannot be underestimated, but Song Ju'an actually takes money temptingly, and uses the money of the yamen! Or five taels!

"Mr. Song, the yamen is strapped for money, I'm afraid I can't afford it, if there are hundreds of people from several surrounding villages, how can it be good?" If you don't explain that as long as there are men, I'm afraid that men, women, and children will come in vain, and the yamen will have to be picked up.

"Only the able-bodied men are selected from among them, and the rest are allowed to return, without being intimidated. As for the reward, I think that if the yamen is killed by the robbers, the adults will not only have to bury their subordinates, but also compensate their families with some silver, which is not a lot. ”

This is also true, Wu Dajiang had no choice but to nod his head, and in the end, he discussed again: "Just kill and capture the robber alive and give it to three taels, right?" ”

Song Ju'an: "Hehe...... "Who is it like to love money so much......

When Du Ruo woke up, he felt that his headache was about to explode.

She snorted in pain, opened her eyes, and saw a circle of people lying on her stomach directly above her, staring at her intently, and seeing that she was awake, her expression changed.

Among them is Su Huiniang.

"Where is this?" She touched the place where she had been beaten before she fainted, and withdrew her hand in pain.

"Sister-in-law of the Song family, we are now locked up in the Jade Pagoda!" Su Huiniang replied, although she didn't want to talk to her before, and even looked down on her from the bottom of her heart, but seeing familiar people in her current situation made her feel a little comforted.

Du Shi has been locked in for a long time, and he can't wake up no matter how much he screams.

Du Ruo was helped to sit up, and looked at the five or six women sitting around her, their eyes were dull, their hair was unkempt, and their expressionless faces seemed to be waiting for death, and the worry she saw on their faces when she woke up was gone. There were also two sick people leaning against the wall, their lips chapped and weak, as if they were quietly possessed by death.

She understood immediately!

"It turns out that the woman's disappearance was done by the monks in the temple!"

Su Huiniang nodded.
