Chapter 12 Building Temples After the War
Here Liang San saw that the situation was not good, and wanted to take the lead and scare Yuankong with his momentum. Unexpectedly, Yuan Kong was not frightened, but let Yin Jian block it.
"Yuankong, do you really not know this person?"
"Tell my lord, this person has never seen it. The poor monk has never had close contact with secular people since he was a child, except for the fate, eating fasting and reciting Buddha, he has never interacted with this person, so he has no friendship. Amitabha! After Yuankong finished speaking, he recited the Buddha, and then closed his eyes and said nothing.
"Good! The officer got it. ”
Yin Jian said, then looked at Bu Huishu, and then wanted to ask any questions, suddenly, Yin Jian's nursing home ran in, hurriedly, looked panicked, and said when he came in: "Tell the master, the prefect Yao is invited!" Please go immediately. ”
Yin Jian was a little nervous when he saw the family coming, such a family member of the nursing home generally does not come to deliver a message, just after the end of the war, the situation is turbulent, and the slightest wind and grass are easy to be soldiers, which makes people panic.
"Okay, the official already knows." Yin Jian said, and then he turned to Bu Huishu and said, "Master, what do you think about it?" ”
"The master has his own way." Bu Huishu said.
"Okay, the master took Liang San and Yuan Kong back to the county government and detained the suspect in prison pending trial. The official went to meet with the prefect and then returned to continue the interrogation. Yin Jian said.
The master took the order and took the suspect back to the county office, while Yin Jian hurried to Lord Yao's mansion.
The courtyard of Lord Yao is simple in layout, the pursuit of minimalist decoration, it looks elegant, like a temple, carved beams and painted buildings, the color is also quiet and elegant, the bricks and tiles are simple, from the outside, it is completely the shape of the temple or the academy. Every time Yin Jian came to visit, he would have to ponder for several days when he went back, didn't the prefect have the money to decorate? Everything is in a primitive state, is it to return to nature and become one with heaven and earth?
Yin Jian and Master Yao have a good relationship. However, the interpersonal relationship is delicate, if you get too close, I'm afraid that the above will also suspect that he will deal with some relationships, or with his mind, he won't come if he has nothing to do, there are many people, maybe there will be informers around Lord Yao.
This time, the prefect Yao was looking for Yin Jian and telling Yin Jian some of the most important things. He has already calculated that something will happen, if he does it well this time, it will be fine, if he can't do it well, Yin Jian's official position will not be able to sit down, the black gauze hat will also be dropped, and it may not be possible to lose his head. Being an official is like dancing with a wolf, or walking with a tiger, knowing that you are weak, but you have to follow. There are also dangers if you stay away.
When he arrived at the study, Lord Yao was waiting, and when he saw someone reporting that Yin Jian was coming, he immediately got up to greet him. As a lower-level official, it is rare to be treated like this by Lord Yao, which shows that their relationship is extraordinary.
"Brother Yin, don't come unharmed?" Lord Yao greeted.
"Thank you brother, for your greetings, there have been several homicides recently. Brother is dealing with it. Fortunately, it is very suitable to get talents, as a master, to help others. When the elder brother sent someone, it was the family who rushed to the temple from the house to find out the news. Yin Jian said.
"In the temple?"
"Exactly."
"What temple?"
"Martial Temple."
"Who's enshrined?"
"Resist the Hun general Wei Qing!"
"It's over. Dude! Hurry up and change. ”
"What's wrong? How can you say that wind is rain? Gotta give a reason, right? Yin Jian asked.
"Brother doesn't know, the emperor is ready to issue an order to remove all the temples dedicated to the famous heroes who fought against the Huns, and change them to worship Guan Yu Guan Yunchang, that is, Guan Gong, the god of war." Governor Yao said.
"Understood. The local people are used to worshiping Wei Qing, and I am afraid that it will not work if it is changed to Guan Gong. Yin Jian said.
"You see, if you want to hold your head, you have to make a trade-off. Brother, I told my brother when I learned the news first, and if my brother made a mistake, my brother would be powerless. We have to protect the emperor, not the people. There are many people, and there is only one emperor. Do you want to climb up, or do you want to fall and become a common man? Master Yao said.
"Also, to be honest, you can't offend either end. If you don't make decisions for the people, it's better to go home and sell sweet potatoes, and if you don't maintain the authority of the emperor, you will also anger Long Yan, and you won't be able to keep your head. What a dilemma. ”
"I think you're dead-headed, Wumiao didn't say that you must worship a general, there are so many national heroes, don't everyone worship the same? There are so many martial arts temples in the country! Who to worship or who not to worship, the people themselves can decide at home, and in the temple, they must listen to the emperor. When the emperor spoke, it was the law, the golden rule, and not a single stroke could be changed. Think about it, isn't that the truth? Master Yao said.
"Sir!" A maid trotted in softly and softly, and said, "Sir, the time for the old lady to dine has come." ”
"Good! Serve it up. Lord Yao commanded.
"Brother, I won't tell you, because the time is urgent, I didn't look at the time, and it is indeed a little inappropriate to invite my brother to the house at this time." Master Yao said.
"It's okay, it's okay. The old lady wants to eat, because she doesn't look at the time for her brother. It's delayed, and it's offended. ”
"You're welcome, man."
After a while, someone brought a bowl of somen noodles.
Boiled noodles in clear water, no oil, no leeks, onions and other things.
Yin Jian looked at it and felt very strange, the noodles did not have onions and leeks, and they were not delicious at all. What's going on?
Master Yao saw that Yin Jian was a little confused, so he smiled and said, "Brother, do you think that my mother's taste is not ordinary?" Why not use leeks or shredded green onions? Tell me the truth, my mother eats fasting and recites Buddha. Buddhists taboo these spicy foods of onion leeks. Green onion is the first of the five smokes, and it must not be eaten, which is a taboo in Buddhist diet. ”
"No wonder? Is it any wonder? Yin Jian said, almost talking to himself.
"What did the dude say?"
"Oh, brother, just now Brother Wei was investigating a case, thinking that there were green onions and leeks planted in the temple, presumably this vegetable grower does not understand the rules, or breaks the precepts, and does not abide by the rules and precepts." Yin Jian said.
"Well, my mother is merciful and doesn't eat those. My mother's somen noodles are not delicacies from the mountains and seas, and it is not that the younger brother is powerless to buy delicacies from the mountains and seas, but my mother does not eat them, and the somen noodles alone are enough. And the mother must let the younger brother personally carry the cups and dishes to serve the mother, and no one else is allowed to approach the mother. Over the years, it is the younger brother who has been doing these filial things. Master Yao said.
"As a prefect, the younger brother is very humble, filial piety to his mother, very respectable, and worthy of learning for his brother. It's just that now I'm entangled in official business, and I don't have time for further communication. It's just that there is one thing that I don't understand, why can't the martial temple worship General Wei Qing? Yin Jian asked.
"This little brother is also unknown, from the imperial court, it is said that the emperor and the Xiongnu are good friends and live in peace, plus, the emperor and the Xiongnu have some to do with each other. Say that the emperor's mother is a Huns. Now that there is no war, the Huns do not want to revisit the past, and they do not want the Han people to worship their heroes, their enemies at that time. That's probably what it means. The specific details are not clear, since the emperor has this intention, we can't disobey the order, right? While handling the case, I was preparing to replace the enshrined statues of the Wu Temple, and all of them were changed to worship Emperor Guan, do you know? Aren't they all the same? All are heroes. The boss has explained again and again, and I hope that the brother will pay attention to it, and he can't do it sloppily, this matter is estimated to be overcome, and it is not possible to be sloppy. Master Yao said.
"Don't worry, brother, I will take this matter to heart, but there is one more thing I want to figure out, that is, have you heard of Hu Yanping?"
"Hu Yanping? I have heard that, yes, he is a Huns, a famous rich man, who made a fortune through the Silk Road, and has a good relationship with the emperor. ”
"Uh-huh, so he has a son named Hu Yanshu have you heard of?"
"I haven't heard of that."
"Okay, then there is nothing to say for my brother. Don't delay my brother, go and deliver food to my mother, and I won't go to say goodbye for my brother. There is something important to do, and you need to rush back immediately. You see, somen noodles should be eaten while they are hot, so you can't bother, say goodbye! Yin Jian said.
"Okay, I'm sorry to send it away. Remember the words of the little brother. Orders from above must be heard! Master Yao said.
Yin Jian rushed to the county government office to try the case overnight.
"Chuan Liang San, Yuan Kong. Teachers and scholars are invited to be present, and the officials are waiting for the dispatch. Yin Jian commanded.
After a while, everyone arrived.
"Liang San, this official asked you, you said that Yuankong may be a murderer, what evidence do you have?" Yin Jian asked.
"Tell the master, Xiaomin does look like Yuankong, not sure, because the bald person is not necessarily a monk, and he can also be bald. Besides, Xiaomin is drunk, his eyes are dizzy, and he may be confused, but he just guesses that it is him, looking at his figure, movements, and clothes. It's all like, but it's not certain, it's just Xiaomin who is present, and if someone else is present, it will be more accurate. Liang San said.
"Okay, stand down. Wait for messages. Yin Jian instructed, and two officials came over and escorted Liang San down to listen to the order.
Waiting for Liang San to walk away, Yin Jian asked sharply: "Yuankong, you are so daring!" ”
He shouted out in this voice, which made Yuan Kong tremble, the hideous face of the original Huyanshu, the face distorted and deformed in pain, made people pee their pants in fright, and when they heard Yin Jian's thunderous voice, they were immediately stupid, and their heads were buzzing, which was completely insufficient. It seems that if you don't recruit, you will be beaten, and you will be imprisoned, and finally beheaded, or Ling Chi will be executed. The more I think about it, the more scared I become, so let's confess!
"Master, the poor monk is guilty, the poor monk is guilty!"
When Yin Jian heard it, there was a play! Don't admit yourself! It seems that there are certain benefits to having a loud voice!
"Say it!"
"There is a reason why a poor monk did become a monk. Because the poor monk had a childhood sweetheart, named Xiaoqin, who was snatched away by Huyanshu. Since then, the poor monk has seen through the red dust and entered the empty door. That Huyanshu likes the new and hates the old, Xiaoqin was abused, unbearable humiliation, committed suicide by hanging the beam, and the poor monk was powerless and could not punish Huyanshu. The locals all know about this matter, and presumably Liang San also told the master some outlines, but the details are unknown. Because everyone in the world knows that the poor monk and Huyanshu have a hatred of taking his wife, he will definitely suspect the poor monk, because only the poor monk and Huyanshu have a hatred that they don't share, and only by killing Huyanshu can they solve the hatred in their hearts. It just so happened that the sky had eyes, and he sent Huyanshu to the martial arts temple to take this opportunity to kill. The world would never have imagined that Huyanshu would die in the temple. There will be no suspicion on the poor monk's head. In order to avoid suspicion, the poor monk lied from the beginning, it shouldn't be like this, the sin deserves death! However, the poor monk lied, the reason was that he was afraid that the old man would suspect that the poor monk and the deceased had a grudge, so he would mistake him for the murderer. The poor monk is indeed the same villager as Liang San, and he is afraid that he will talk nonsense, so that the old man will suspect the poor monk, so he lies and says that he does not know Liang San. These are all facts, and I hope that the master will investigate clearly and forgive the poor monk for the mistake of lying, which has affected the progress of the master's case, I am really sorry! Yuan Kong said.
Hearing this, Yin Jian was suddenly confused, he didn't know what to say, his mouth was open, he couldn't close it, not laughing, like crying, Bu Huishu knew that the investigation was deadlocked. So "uh-huh" twice, reminding Yin Jian, it seems that he has paused, and he has something to say.
Yin Jian understood, asked everyone to disperse temporarily, asked Yuankong to sign the transcript, and then went to the study, leaving only the master alone.
"Master, it's time for this case to be closed, right? Don't torture the officer. Yin Jian said.
"Hehehe, there it is. It proves that the master is getting smarter and smarter! ”
"What do you mean by that?"
"Master, you can be promoted, you can do this, you will definitely solve the case!" Bu Huishu said.
When Yin Jian heard this, he was overjoyed, and shouted: "Ascend to the hall!" ”
The crowd shouted in unison, "Might! ”
It was getting late, and the hall was lit with huge candles, almost like torches, illuminating the inside and outside of the hall, as if it were daytime.
"Interrogate Liang San!" Yin Jian ordered.
Everyone was puzzled, why did Liang San be promoted instead of Yuankong?
"Shuli, please record it truthfully. Write clearly, if you can't remember or keep up, you can remind the officer, and the officer slows down. Yin Jian said.
"Okay, it's okay, sir, try to keep up with the little ones." The book said.
Liang San was arraigned, and when Yin Jian saw him coming, he immediately slapped the shocked wood on the case.
"Smack-"
Liang San was so frightened that his whole body began to tremble, involuntarily, his legs and stomach also began to tremble, he couldn't control it, he couldn't move, he didn't obey the call at all, the soles of his feet were weak, and he knelt down with a "poof".
"Liang San, are you guilty?" Yin Jian asked sharply.
Liang San's heart was empty in this matter, there was no one more claim, the situation reversed, and it fell sharply, which was very unfavorable to himself, he was going to frame others, and the handsome pot was given to Yuankong, but he didn't expect this pot to throw off his head, and he actually flew to and came back!
The instinctive desire to survive became stronger and stronger, and his lips trembled and said, "Xiaomin doesn't know ......"
"The second time the official asked you, are you guilty?"
Liang San went out, and reluctantly said: "Xiaomin doesn't know the crime......
"This official asked you for the last time, Liang San, are you guilty?"
"Little ......"
Before Liang San could say a word, Yin Jian shouted loudly, and then said: "At that time, you said in the martial arts temple that Hu Yanshu knelt down to the statue of General Wei Qing?" Isn't it? ”
That's what Xiaomin said at the time. But ......," Liang San said.
"The official is asking you if you are, Liang San, you just need to answer yes or no, no need to explain, do you understand?" Yin Jian said.
