Chapter 294: Inventory (2nd Update)
Feng Ling and Yun Xue turned back to the Big Buddha Temple and informed King Ruian.
King Ryan had finished the trial at this time, but the case had not made much progress compared to the previous trial, although he also felt that the abbot was wrong, but every question, the abbot was able to answer it with reasonable evidence, so that people could not find flaws. King Ryan tossed all night and for most of the day, but he didn't gain much.
Regarding the abbot of the Great Buddha Temple, there is no conclusive evidence, and without the emperor's decree, he cannot take him down at will.
King Ruian was furious in his heart, but he couldn't do anything for a while, so he could only listen to what Feng Ling said, waiting for Su Rong and Ye Guixue to come to him.
Because he summoned all the monks for interrogation and checked them one by one, even if the investigation was completed and did not get a desired result, he still did not let people go, so that no one cooked in the dining room of the Great Buddha Temple.
The monks couldn't eat, and King Ryan wasn't in the mood to eat.
When Feng Ling came back, the abbot was repeatedly assuring King Ruian, "Amitabha, the prince, the poor monks have explained everything, there are so many monks in the temple, you have already asked everything you should ask, should you let everyone go?" If this continues, the old uncles and young nephews will not be able to stand the hunger and cold, and they will die. ”
King Ryan also felt that it would not work if he continued like this, and waved his hand, "It's all gone, what should I do." ”
The abbot breathed a sigh of relief.
Feng Ling walked in from outside, just heard the two of them talking, and said in a very good mood: "Don't, master abbot, my sister and the second son of the night have found a place to hide gold in the mountain behind the eagle's beak cliff, and the thousand acres of mountains and forests in the mountain behind the Big Buddha Temple, including the eagle's beak cliff, are all the property of the Big Buddha Temple, you have to explain it clearly, otherwise, I think you don't want to eat, you have to go around without eating." ”
The abbot's face changed.
Feng Ling laughed, stepped forward and patted the abbot on the shoulder, and then with a backhand, he easily tied the person, and after that, he was very experienced in searching for all the things on his body and throwing them aside, even the Buddha beads around his neck were taken off to prevent him from swallowing the beads and committing suicide, and then gagged his mouth with a handkerchief, and said to King Ruian, who was shocked and did not react: "Lord Wang, don't be too soft in your means, you should praise the little prince of the palace, he is your son, he can do it, and the trial is called a pleasure." You're not painful, you're too kind, and you can't judge anything. I will tie you up, and I will leave it to people to watch, do you want to go with me to the eagle's beak cliff in the mountain behind the Big Buddha Temple to see the place where the gold was discovered? ”
King Ruian was helpless, "Judging others is different from judging the abbot, he was valued by the Queen Mother back then, and His Majesty gave it." Without the Holy Order, it is not easy for this king to take him down. ”
Feng Ling nodded understandingly, "Then I'm not afraid, my sister is not afraid of this, so, I'll help you." Why don't you go check it out? ”
King Ryan naturally wanted to take a look, and nodded immediately.
Feng Ling handed over the tied host to a secret guard, and then led the way for King Ryan.
Su Rong and Ye Guixue didn't actually take a walk, but when Feng Ling found them, they were coming down from the middle of the mountain, walking out along the road, looking at the slow walk, only to be mistaken by Feng Ling for a walk.
After Feng Ling left to find Queen Ryan, Su Rong stomped his feet and said to Ye Guixue: "Let's find a place to roast pheasants to eat, and by the way, wait for King Ryan, I'm hungry." ”
Ye Guixue nodded, "Okay." ”
Su Rong didn't want to move at all, and commanded a few remaining secret guards to catch pheasants.
Soon, the secret guards caught the pheasant, Su Rong and Ye Guixue found a place to avoid the snow, set up dry firewood and began to roast the pheasant, and waited for King Ruian to come by the way.
King Ryan came quickly.
Su Rong and the pheasant that returned to the snow at night had just been roasted, and the two of them were catching half of it, and they were eating it fragrantly. Seeing that King Ryan was coming, Su Rong greeted him with a smile, "Lord Wang, can we eat together?" ”
King Ryan wanted to shake his head, but after a busy night and a long time, his stomach was empty, so he nodded instead, "Thank you two, this king really hasn't eaten today." ”
Feng Ling stepped forward, divided a roasted pheasant and put it aside in two, and generously gave half to King Ruian, "Lord Wang, please!" ”
Ryan Wang took it and thanked him.
Several people were hungry, and in line with the idea of filling their stomachs first before talking, for a while, they all ate pheasants, and no one spoke anymore.
After Su Rong finished eating, he wiped his hands with a handkerchief, and told King Ruian how he found the place where the gold was hidden yesterday, and after speaking, he said to King Ruian: "In my judgment, such a large place to hide gold must have hidden more than two hundred boxes of gold before, and about a few days ago, some of them were smuggled away, after all, the traces are still new, fortunately I and Guixue moved quickly, otherwise a few days later, there will be no more than two hundred boxes." ”
Ye Guixue nodded, "Yes, the traces are very new, and it's only a matter of the past few days." ”
Feng Ling immediately answered, "Yun Xue and I searched all over the Big Buddha Temple, and only found two secret passages, one is to the back mountain, and the other is to the bottom of the mountain. The back mountain, it is estimated that he asked to hide people's eyes and ears to do such an ulterior thing. ”
King Ryan filled his stomach and gained some strength, and nodded, "This king has a general understanding, and I have to go to the place where the gold is hidden." He stood up and asked Su Rong and Ye Guixue, "Will the seventh lady and the second son of the night go with this king, or will they go to the Big Buddha Temple to rest for a while?" ”
Su Rong waved his hand, "Feng Ling leads the way, the prince will go by himself, let's go to the Big Buddha Temple, and we will meet the abbot." ”
King Ryan bowed.
So, led by Feng Ling, King Ruian went to the land of hidden gold, and Su Rong and Ye Guixue went to the Big Buddha Temple.
When I arrived at the Big Buddha Temple, I saw the abbot being tied to a chair, and the rest of the monks of the Big Buddha Temple were squatting together one by one, like frightened birds, and the guards of the Ruian Mansion and the Protector Mansion were guarding these people.
Seeing Su Rong and Ye Guixue, the abbot screamed.
Su Rong stepped forward, ripped off the veil blocking the abbot's mouth, and looked at him, "Master Abbot, do you have anything to say to me?" ”
The abbot said, "The poor monk is wronged. ”
Su Rong laughed, "Isn't the hidden gold in the middle of the Eagle's Beak Cliff your doing?" ”
The abbot's face was pale, "No, it's not ......"
Su Rong asked, "Then who do you say?" ”
"The poor monk doesn't know."
Su Rong blocked the veil back for him, and didn't talk nonsense with him, "I'm not the one who tried the case, you don't know these things when you say wrongs, it's useless to tell me." If you don't tell the truth, I can't help you. If you don't want to drag the Big Buddha Temple to die together, you'd better think about it. ”
After she finished speaking, she no longer paid attention to the abbot and said to Ye Guixue: "We are also tired, find a place to rest?" ”
Ye Guixue glanced at the abbot and bowed his head, "The courtyard where I lived last time was good." ”
Su Rong nodded, "I also think it's good, let's go." ”
So, the two went to the courtyard where they stayed last time to rest.
