After only 10 days, and only 10 days after coming and going, the Jinling Governor Yamen gave the verdict on the arson attempt in Hangzhou and sent it back. At this time, it is not yet the first month of the new year.

Xie Ao, Xie Yu and other masterminds in this case were all sentenced to be executed, Gu Yaohua and other executors were hanged, and the other cadres of the Xie family were all distributed and sent to mines in western Zhejiang to serve hard labor, and the Xie family's property was all determined by the local government......

This series of verdicts can not be described as unpleasant, it cannot be said that it is not ruthless, and it shocked Taishou Zeng Xian so that he was speechless for a long time.

The Xie family is also a wealthy family in the south of the Yangtze River, one of the nine surnames, even though the power is the smallest, but it also has a lot of friendship with various families, who would have thought that the other families would be so ruthless, leaving no room for anything!

Yes, don't look at the official document of this verdict issued by the Yamen of the Governor of Jinling, and it is also stamped with the official seal of the Governor, but everyone knows that this is the result of the negotiation of several wealthy families in Jiangnan, at least it is a matter that can only be passed by the nods of the three families of Gu Lu and Wu.

That is to say, it was these three families who wanted to destroy the Xie family, and the reason for this was not because of how many innocent people were killed or injured by this fire, but because they almost destroyed dozens of temples in Hangzhou, touching the fundamental interests and bottom line of several wealthy families!

In addition to being shocked, Zeng Taishou breathed a sigh of relief, at least in this way, his responsibility will be much less, anyway, it is all the meaning of the above, Hangzhou Yamen is just acting on orders, and if someone wants to seek revenge, they can't find their own head.

At that moment, he found Yu Shouxin, the Hangzhou garrison, and handed over the next verdict and execution to him.

In this regard, Yu Shoubei responded in one bite, he already had a good relationship with monks everywhere, and he could sell it greatly this time.

After that, he immediately had these judgments copied and posted them all over Hangzhou, telling the people of the city, so as to serve as a warning to the whole city.

So at the end of this month, Sun Ning also knew the final result of the case, and in addition to sighing, he also confirmed his previous judgment - the prevalence of Buddhism in Jiangnan was actually pushed up by those wealthy families behind their backs, and they should have a deeper purpose.

Xiao Qian didn't think too deeply, but after knowing the news, her face showed unhappiness: "Sun Lang, do you really care about this matter?" Of course, the Xie family is not worthy of sympathy, but Gu Yaohua and they are not guilty to death after all, first, they are used by others, second, they are victims themselves, and thirdly, they have not really harmed people, wouldn't it be ...... to die like this?"

Sun Ning also nodded in response: "Qian'er, what you said is right, Gu Yaohua and others are all true heroes who dare to act, it is indeed a pity to die like this." ”

"Can we save them, then?" Xiao Qian suddenly came to her senses, "Why don't you and I find an opportunity to rob the prison?" ”

Sun Ning smiled bitterly: "Jiangnan is not as wide as Hu, the control of the government here is very strong, in Hangzhou alone, there are tens of thousands of garrisons, and there are hundreds or thousands of people guarding the prison, even if you and I can steal into it, why can we rescue so many people?" ”

"That'...... Is there a better way to do that? ”

"There is always a way, the bell needs to be tied to the bell, if you want to save Gu Yaohua and others, you can only find local monks to intercede for them."

Seeing Xiao Qian stunned for a moment, Sun Ning smiled again: "What, have you forgotten that we promised the abbot of Yunlin Temple that we would go for a while?" This time, I can ask him to speak out to save people. ”

"They? Will they help with this? Xiao Qian couldn't believe it.

"Whether it can be done or not depends on the triing. If they can't be asked to save people, it's not too late to find another way. Sun Ning was confident, and as written in the notice, the day of the execution was set for the ninth day of the second month, and there were still ten days before today, and there was still a chance.

……

On the second day of the second month of February, near noon, Sun Ning and the two came to Yunlin Temple again.

This is the third time they have come to the most famous temple in Hangzhou, and unlike the previous two times, they were only outside the temple, but this time Sun Ning and they were able to really step into the temple.

Moreover, there are also the monks in the temple who lead them around, and all the temples of the temple are seen in place, and they also listen to each other carefully tell the history of the temple, which is very kind of the meaning that the tour guide will take them to visit the tourist attractions in the future.

It wasn't until they saw all the temples and had some meals in the hall that Sun Ning and the others were led to the abbot's room and met the abbot Master Zhiming.

As the abbot of Yunlin Temple, Zhiming's appearance is still quite good, at this time to the benefactor who had saved the monks of the temple, he has a very good attitude, smiling, really the word mercy is completely shown on the face.

The two sides sat down to watch the tea, and after some greetings, they quickly entered the link of touting each other.

The monk said: "Sun Zhuangshi is really a hero in the world, dare to fight with those thieves with evil intentions, if you don't take action in time, I am afraid that my Yunlin Temple's decades of foundation will be destroyed." ”

Sun Ning said: "The master's words are serious, and it is only at the right time that there is such an opportunity." And I'm sure that anyone who knows about it as much as I do will not sit idly by. After all, Yunlin Temple is the largest temple in Hangzhou, and it helps the suffering people in the city on weekdays, which is a real act of compassion, which cannot be compared below.

"So I always thought that even if I didn't make a move, with the merits accumulated by your temple for decades, this time I would definitely be able to turn evil into good fortune and let the thief be caught."

These words were even more obvious to Zhiming and several other monks with eyebrows and smiles, although they were humble and humble, they already had a deep expression on their faces.

After holding the other party for a while, Sun Ning found an opportunity and tried to say: "But if you think about it carefully, this time it is also a big lesson for Yunlin Temple." Why will those ignorant fanatics be used and coaxed, or is it because your monastery cannot let all the people in the city know the compassion of Buddhism? ”

Zhiming and other monks knew in their hearts, this was too exalting for them, they tried their best to loot the people's wealth and coax the faith and goodness on weekdays, although they could deceive the vast majority of people, but some people, after all, will not be fooled.

Therefore, in this regard, we can only be vague and do not delve into it.

Sun Ning was not discouraged, and continued to follow his train of thought: "And right now, there is actually an opportunity to show the compassion of Buddhism, I wonder if the masters are willing to save the lives of dozens of people, and at the same time let the people of the city know your compassion?" ”

"Oh, but what?" Zhide was the first to be interested, and hurriedly asked, and the others also looked over.

Sun Ning smiled calmly and said the real purpose of his visit: "That is, your temple will come forward to ask the government to spare the lives of those fanatics who wanted to set fire but failed......
