An hour later, the Chongtian Temple disciples who were caught knelt on the platform in front of the Chenyuan Palace.

According to Ju Ran's liquidation, in the first battle of Chongtianguan, a total of 15 people were killed on the spot, 9 were seriously injured and treated, and 43 people were captured alive.

These forty-three people, all now tied up by flowers, knelt on this platform.

According to the confessions of the Taoists, there were a total of 97 Taoists in Chongtianguan, which means that nearly 30 Taoists took advantage of the situation to escape.

In fact, the Hou Mansion guards and catchers in front of them combined, including Xu Zun and others, there were only about forty people.

After this battle, the Hou Mansion guards and catchers were also damaged, and there are only about 30 of them present now.

However, the catchers have already sent people to Shangyuan City to deliver the letter, and soon more officials and even soldiers will arrive.

It stands to reason that Xingchuan County is under the jurisdiction of Wude County, and this case should first say hello to the Wude County Ya and Xingchuan County Ya.

But after thinking about it again, Xu Zun decided not to ventilate with these two places.

Because, a Taoist temple of such a huge scale as Chongtian Temple can have such a sin, presumably this county government and the county government are also related.

Therefore, it is better not to let them intervene until you find out.

Besides, Li Yan, the assassin of history, is still in Shangyuan City, Xu Zun is Tangzhou's punishment, and with the big backstage of the Changping Marquis Mansion, they don't dare to make a mistake.

However, Xu Zun knew the truth that there were many dreams at night, so after discussing with Ju Ran, Wei Beihui and others, he decided to interrogate these bad ways at night and find out the matter as soon as possible.

In order to prevent collusion, it is natural that public interrogation should not be allowed.

As a result, Xu Zun, Ju Ran, and Zhao Yu, three people with interrogation experience, were divided into three groups, and selected places to interrogate the criminals in batches.

It is conceivable that the order of arraignment naturally goes from high to low, and those with a higher status in the view are tried first.

The first criminal Xu Zun was assigned to was a Taoist priest who was about thirty years old and had a scar on his face.

According to his own confession, this person's name is Xu Jinhu, and he is a master of Chongtianguan.

"In our Taoist temple, the biggest is the contemplator...... Oh......"

One of Xu Jinhu's legs was injured by Wei Beihui's iron claws, and although it was bandaged, it was still bleeding.

It is precisely because of this that this person has to be interrogated quickly, lest it be too late to be tried.

"The second is the head of the court, and the head of the house is also the deputy master," Xu Jinhu confessed, "and then there are us the masters, and there are a total of six masters in this view."

"Below the altar are the disciples, and the disciples are divided into grades according to the order of entering the meditation, and do the corresponding work according to the ranks, and so on......"

"Who's the co-host?" Xu Zun asked, "What about people?" ”

"It's called Luo Yu, I'm ...... Oh...... I didn't see him ......"

"What's going on with your so-called practice room?" Xu Zun went straight to the point.

"This ......," Xu Jinhu replied, "is the place for our pastime, those ...... Those women were bought by the Lord and the Lord......"

"Bought?" Xu Zun asked, "Do you want to be tortured?" Someone, take advantage of his thigh injury, chop his toes first, so it shouldn't hurt too much, right? ”

As soon as Xu Zun's voice fell, a catcher came in with a knife outside.

"Your Excellency...... My lord spares his life," Xu Jinhu turned pale with fright, and hurriedly begged for mercy, "I don't dare to tell lies!" Master Mingjian, there is no way for people of our level to know about the things in the practice room......"

"What?" Xu Zun greeted and shouted, "Your mouth is really hard enough, as the head of the altar, how can you not know?" ”

The catcher quickly showed his saber, and the knife was still stained with blood.

"Adult, adult, if the little one has half a lie, you can cut off my head!" Xu Jinhu said, "I know that I am guilty, and I know that it is wrong to touch those women in the practice room, but ...... But I can't help myself!

"The adults are Mingjian, and the small ones have been in the meditation for five years, and they only know how to eat, drink and enjoy themselves with others, and I should be ...... I haven't been in charge of this for even a month, my lord, if you don't believe it, you can ask others, the little one really didn't lie! ”

In the end, Xu Jinhu was so frightened that he cried.

Oh?

Suddenly, Xu Zun felt a little bad!

Only then did he remember that whether it was the Taoist disciple who was killed by them or the Taoist disciple who was captured alive, there was not a single older person in the entire Taoist temple!

The man in front of him is only thirty years old, but he is almost the oldest, and the others look like they are in their twenties, and even eighteen or nineteen years old!

Isn't that right?

As a Taoist temple, it is impossible for all of them to be such young Taoist priests, and there is definitely something wrong with this Chongtian Temple!

So, Xu Zun made a stop gesture to the knife catcher, and asked Xu Jinhu, "Do you know Xu Tianyou and Xu Daochang?" ”

"Yes, of course I know," Xu Jinhu said, "Xu Tianshi was the former master of the Chongtian Temple, but when I came, he had already passed away!" ”

"Who is the current Guan Master Yuyangzi?"

"It is said that he is the junior disciple of Xu Tianshi," Xu Jinhu replied, "After Xu Tianshi was feathered, Master Yuyang took over the Taoist Temple, and all the major affairs of the Taoist Temple were presided over by him and Luo Yu, the head of the Academy, and we all acted according to orders......

"But, I swear, the only wrong thing we've ever done is to go to the practice room to have fun, and as for how those women came to be, the villain really doesn't know!

"My lord, my lord," Xu Jinhu said, "These current leaders are just like me, they have just been promoted!"

"I think, if you want to know about those women, you might as well find our predecessors, those old masters have followed the Lord for many years, they must know more about it!"

Oh?

Hearing Xu Jinhu's words, Xu Zun remembered that there was indeed an older one in this Chongtian Temple, and it was the master Yuyangzi!

The man had gray temples and was at least forty-five years of age or older.

It's a pity that this person is dead!

"I'll ask you again," Xu Zun asked again, "where are you from?" Why join Chongtianguan? What do you do in Kanri every day? And also...... If you think there is anything wrong with the view, you will all be recruited one by one!

"If this sentence is true, this official may spare you death! But if ......"

"Your Excellency, Your Excellency!" Xu Jinhu said eagerly, "There are so many people outside, how dare I lie?"

"The villain is from Qinzhou," he pointed to the scar on his face, "because he deliberately hurt people and ate the lawsuit, he fled to Tangzhou."

"It was also a coincidence that I joined the Chongtian Temple, it was Luo Yu who saw me in Wude City and saw me wandering, so he recruited me into the temple!

"After entering the meditation, I followed the senior brothers to recite scriptures and practice martial arts every day, and I lived a comfortable life.

"If there is anything wrong with the view," he thought for a while...... said, "except for the practice room, I feel that the incense in the view is not particularly vigorous, but there is money in the view, just the high-quality jade lion horse, so I bought more than a dozen in one go!" ”

Oh......

Hearing this, Xu Zun gradually narrowed his eyes, and a shadow appeared in his heart.

Unexpectedly, there were more secrets of this Chongtian Temple than he imagined......
