Chapter 134: Ambush on Three Sides

The two major tools that Ouyang mastered, the first was weapons, which were sharp weapons to the outside world. The second is the newspaper, which is a sharp weapon for the inside. Both of these things are of great benefit to the ruling class at present, but sooner or later someone of insight will write a letter to warn them, so it is necessary to protect this weak flame. Ouyang doesn't want to change the system, but he wants to leave some capital seeds. At least let China not have to enter the capitalist society for another thousand years, because the price would be too great. If you want to keep seeds, you must protect them, you can't do them piecemeal, you have to gather strength. Some people are still thinking about the bankruptcy of Qianzhuang, but now everyone's eyes are being pulled back and forth by Ouyang, and no one is studying it carefully. And now the whole court vaguely knows that they are going to use troops against Western Xia, and they don't have time to pay attention to it.

Liu Huilan saw Ouyang and asked, "My lord?" What do you think? ”

"Nothing!" Ouyang smiled.

"Sister! Adults sometimes have too much to think about, and they want you to unravel it. ”

Liang Hongyu nodded: "I remember." ”

"With the red jade here, I actually feel a lot better." Ouyang smiled: "It's better than a group of big men at that time, plus a man in Bailian, who didn't even say a word of cold and cold." ”

Liang Hongyu said: "I'm going to help my sister tomorrow, I'm afraid I can't usually ask." ”

Ou Ping interjected: "Those two maids are also smart and clever, don't ask them in the future." ”

"." Ouyang glanced at Ou Ping: "Rabbits don't eat the grass by the nest." ”

Liu Huilan laughed and said: "My lord, the rabbit doesn't eat the grass next to the nest because it has to be kept and eaten slowly when there is no food." It's not that rabbits don't want to eat. ”

"Don't worry!" Ouyang grabbed Liang Hongyu's hand: "I don't have that much energy." ”

"Report!" A servant came in: "My lord, there is a message from the Tokyo Reporter Station, asking you to see it for yourself first." The person who came was about to leave, and said that he would wait for the adult to reply. ”

"Huh?" Ouyang took it over and was shocked that Wan Yanlan was dug up by Li Yifeng. News came that Li Yifeng and four reporters went to the surrounding Taoist temples and nunnery to quietly search. The hard work paid off, and in the west of Tokyo, the Sanxia Female Taoist Temple on the border with Zhengzhou found traces of Wanyanlan. The reporter asked in the name of the lost sister, and there was one person whose characteristics were basically the same as Wan Yanlan. And she fainted and was rescued at the bottom of the mountain, and she was still a mute girl. The reporter didn't dare to be alarmed, so he deduced that his sister was lame and coped with the past. Then immediately returned to Tokyo to report, Li Yifeng asked Ouyang: interview, report to the official, ignore it?

Ouyang immediately replied with a fourth answer: "Tell the person who came, I will go to Beijing tomorrow." "It is a fact that I was stabbed, it is also a fact that I lost more than one million yuan, and it is a fact that the government offered a reward of 1,000 yuan. Many facts tell Ouyang that revenge must be avenged, but it can't just take revenge without reaping benefits. This court is also good at playing white stripes, whether it is this weapon or dry food, you have to advance money on your side first. Of course, the purchase of gunpowder Ouyang is also a white strip. So after Ouyang handed over all the working capital, the military factory didn't need to stop work at all, and I had it in the world.

Bai Tiao is not encouraged by Ouyang in the people, even if the wine field asks the yamen to owe food on credit, Ouyang vetoes it. Loans are allowed to purchase, but never on credit. In the face of Ouyang's practice, the wine market can only collect cash in wholesale sales. The economy is like this, one white strip, every white stripe, forming a triangular debt. And all the cash is clean and clear, and it also makes a profit from the flight ticket of Yangping Qianzhuang. It is impossible not to fly tickets, and now Yangping industry is a million business, not to mention that it is inconvenient and unsafe to bring so much money, and the road is not close, and the business is delayed back and forth. The remote withdrawal of the flight ticket is the best solution to this contradiction.

Early the next morning, Ouyang, Zhanming, Bai Lian, and twenty of their best cronies went to Beijing en masse. Everyone is fully armed, not only with weapons, but also with drugs and other indiscriminate things. The goal is very clear, that is, to capture Yan Lan alive. Only those who are alive can be sold for money, and if they are dead, they are worthless, and they have to pay for the funeral. And Ouyang still didn't want Wan Yanlan to die in his heart, although he couldn't say a reason.

Liang Hongyu sent out of the yamen and repeatedly advised: "Be careful, this woman is a battlefield general, she smells a lot of blood, and she is powerful...... Why don't I go with the officials? ”

"Got it." Ouyang grabbed Liang Hongyu's hand and shook it, indicating that he knew it. Turned over and said, "Be sure to go and come back quickly." ”

After going to Beijing, he did not enter the capital, and Li Yifeng and two reporters waited outside the city and converged to take Zhengzhou together. This matter must not alarm others, otherwise others will be slashed with a knife, they are happy, Ouyang's sword is in vain, and there is no attached civil lawsuit for what Yan Lan committed.

Under the guidance of the guide, we reached the base of the mountain. Then rested in the village at the foot of the mountain for one night, and then asked the locals about the layout of the Sanxia Temple, and finally Ouyang, Zhanming, and Bailian reconnoitred first, and twenty officials followed the local guide according to the arrangement and then followed to occupy each intersection.

Sanxia Temple is still a relatively clear Taoist temple, in the Northern Song Dynasty, many girls Taoist temple incense is not prosperous, slowly transformed into a kiln, but also known as its combination of double cultivation. Sanxia Temple is located in the middle of the mountain, with a continuous back mountain, and there is a junction in the north. The task of the twenty officials is to block these two roads and the way down the mountain, and the officials change into civilian clothes, which is exquisite, to go to the Taoist temple to catch the Taoist priest, but it is not a token can be solved. Taoism was the state religion in the Song Dynasty, and the search of Taoist temples must at least obtain the approval of the sentence all the way, and must also have the approval of the general judgment of the prefecture to which the Taoist temple belongs.

The Taoist temple is not high, and it is only 600 meters above sea level. The mountain road is not steep and dangerous, and the scenery is very good. In more than an hour, the three of Ouyang arrived at Sanxia Temple. Although I can't see that the incense is strong, there are a lot of people.

"Where did the three laymen come from?"

"Tokyo." Ouyang replied politely: "This time is to repay the wish for my mother, my mother made a wish here two years ago, if there is, she will definitely come here to cultivate for ten days." Please also ask the Taoist chief to make it convenient, how much money is needed, just open your mouth. ”

The doorman recited the slogan again: "The three laymen, please, the poor Dao will go and inform the master." ”

"The Taoist temple is not small, there are three layers: outside, middle and inside." Zhan Ming whispered: "Young master, I'm afraid it's not easy to start." ”

"Yes! Inquire about the more than 100 Qing monks here, as well as those who practice penance in the back mountains, and those who are in retreat. In case Yan Lan was sent to take care of the penance and retreat, it would be difficult not to alarm her. Ouyang asked, "What do you think?" ”

Bai Lian whispered, "Young Master, set it on fire." After the fire, the Taoist temple will inevitably gather disciples to count the number of people. ”

Ouyang whispered: "Do you have any other opinions other than the bandits?" "In the autumn and winter season, the climate is dry, the ignition is small, and if you step on it, the fire will be big, and the whole mountain may burn.

Zhan Ming said: "Arrest someone and ask questions? ”

"It's okay to ask questions, but you have to silence them." Ouyang smiled bitterly: "This is a Taoist temple, if something goes wrong, it will definitely find us." This insult to Taoism can be a big or small crime. It's best to find Yan Lan, and then steal it without knowing it. Ouyang looked at it as he walked and said, "I'll find someone to ask for a few dollars later." ”

Zhan Ming hurriedly said: "My lord, people outside this side see the money very clearly, if you don't report it to the lord and say that we are uninvited guests, I am afraid that we will be directly knocked down the mountain." ”

"Of course you can't be direct, I'll go inside to burn incense in a while, and drop a money bag in front of anyone when you visit, as long as she dares to put the money bag in her arms, I'll go to her after a while." If it's given to you, don't try it. I don't believe it, more than 100 people are all people who don't eat fireworks in the world. ”

The sound of the cave flute is about to flow, the orchestra is flowing in the early night, the Sauvignon Blanc is Hengshan Song, and the heart is cut off from Qin Longtou. This poem is engraved on the wall of the main hall. Ouyang knew that the author of this poem was named Zhang Runyu, who lived in Hengshan Mountain, and then traveled all over the world, which was quite famous. From the Jin Dynasty to the Song Dynasty, there were many female Taoist priests who had cultivation, and they were all famous. Especially in Hengshan, almost all famous female Taoist priests have something to do with it.

"Layman, poor and polite." An elderly Taoist aunt introduced her, and her identity is the master: "It's just that there are rules in this view, and no male guests are stayed." The layman really has a heart, and the poor road can make people get married at the foot of the mountain, and go up the mountain to do homework together every hour, which can be regarded as a surrogate mother's wish. ”

This proposal is really ...... That's. Ouyang took out twenty Jiaozi and said: "A little incense money, please don't dislike it." ”

"You're welcome." After thinking about it, the viewer said, "Please also use tea in the inner compartment." ”

"Thank you." Ouyang said: "My mother has always admired the Sanxia view, and often says that this view is extraordinary. I want to take a walk and take a look, I don't know if it's convenient? ”

"Of course, except for the inner courtyard, which is the residence of the disciples, the laymen are free to do whatever they want."

"Then don't bother the Dao Chief, I'll take a look at it casually."

"Lay people at will."

A young and beautiful female Taoist priest was pressed into the corner by Zhan Ming, Zhan Ming put his left elbow against his neck, held a money bag in his right hand and asked, "This Taoist, what does this mean?" Could it be that Sanxiaguan is all waiting for a young person? This is Ouyang's trick to use the commonly known as the money drop party. Money-dropping parties are mostly used for fraud, robbery, and blackmail, and have a hundred percent accuracy in dealing with those who are greedy for small gains.

The female Taoist priest was frightened and said, "Layman, there is something to say. ”

"Of course. There are 10 Jiaozi and 400 pieces of broken copper plates here. I inquired about something, and said that not only this matter is settled, but also the money bag belongs to you. ”

"Layman, please." And such good things.

Zhan Ming asked: "Did you save a dumb girl at the foot of the mountain a few days ago, and where is she now?" ”

"She? She was arranged in the backyard by the watchman, and she usually chops wood and cooks. ”

"Take me to the backyard." Don't underestimate a female view, there are capable people like Jiangyang thieves in it. Although the odds are small, you can't be careless.

So Zhan Ming became the elder brother of this female Taoist priest, and came to the inner courtyard without any hindrance. The inner courtyard is a place where the women rest. Kitchens, wings, washing and other life are carried out here. This is still a small view, such as the Guangtoku Palace in Tokyo, which has four branches, each with hundreds of people, who have lived for decades, and people may not recognize them all.

Entering the inner courtyard, the female Taoist priest and the disciples inquired, and led Ouyang towards the leftmost room. Before they could get closer, the room opened, and a woman dressed in coarse cloth walked out. Qi and Zhan Ming's eyes were shocked, and they immediately threw the water in their hands and ran away. Zhan Ming really saw it, isn't this Wan Yanlan or who? Shouted: "Where to go!" Throwing down the female Taoist priest and chasing after her.

Back to the carbine! Zhan Ming chased after a circular arch, and was about to determine the direction of Yan Lan's escape, when a short sword stabbed diagonally from the left. This move is a backhand, the power is very strong, Zhan Ming because of the secret visit, did not carry a weapon, when he saw it, his footsteps stopped, and his body leaned back to avoid this stab. But with such an unconventional action, the human body naturally couldn't stand it, Zhan Ming's waist hurt, he snorted, thinking that he flashed his waist, and he couldn't catch up, so he could only watch Yan Lan enter another circular arch and leave the back mountain.

After Yan Lan entered the mountain and galloped, she suddenly stopped suddenly. Staring at the mountains and forests not far away, the corners of the officials' clothes were vaguely seen, and they turned around with a cold smile and left.

The small riot caused by Zhan Ming attracted the questioning of the viewer. Ouyang was very good at offering another hundred times, but the viewer ignored it, and did not ask the reason, and asked Ouyang and the others to leave Sanxia Temple immediately. Ouyang was worried that the matter would be big, and even if he caught Yan Lan, he would not be able to reap the benefits, so he could only make amends and leave Sanxia Temple.

After coming out of the view, Zhan Ming sighed: "This is the evolution of horse warfare, but she is chaotic and not panicked, but she has a few generals' demeanor. ”

"Report!" A servant said: "The thief wanted to enter the back mountain, but we were checked by him, and the thief turned back." ”

"It's not going to be easy, it alarmed her."

Bai Lian said: "My lord, this matter must be asked by the Lord. If their identity is known, they may be expelled from the spectators. ”

Ouyang shook his head: "Bai Lian, you don't know about this monk, they don't care about what happened before the monk." Otherwise, how can there be so many wanted bad guys or enter the Tao, or enter the empty door. Unless the arrest document is taken from the sentencing department in accordance with the normal procedure, indicating that the person's crime is very serious, the viewer will hand her over. But if that's the case, do we need to bring so many people to join in the fun? "Song criminals, there are several ways out, one is to become a eunuch from the palace, the other is to become a Taoist priest and monk, as long as the crime is not serious, generally no one will be held accountable. Of course, it's not that you can be if you want to, and if you want to enter these three places, you have to look at creation. On the other hand, if a person such as a eunuch or a monk commits a crime, it will be investigated. If there is a criminal record before, it is a crime plus one degree.

Religion is like this, on the one hand, it contributes to the stabilization of the ruling class, but at the same time, because it does not produce, some scum will come out, and the scale is too large, and it will be suppressed by the imperial court. Just like some modern villages, there are still a mixture of Taoist priests and monks, who usually pretend to be gods and ghosts, and do not be monks and monks in the dojo. Life is rich, but there are also folk rumors that the descendants of these people will not end well. In fact, in modern times, the police want to go to the monk's temple to arrest people, and it is not as simple as a detention warrant, but involves other reasons. First, we need to consider the social impact, the second is the religious impact, and the third is the international impact.

Bai Lian said: "Set it on fire!" "She's still more of a fan of violent solutions. Although she didn't quite understand why Ouyang had to catch him alive, Ouyang always had a reason for what he said.

"Do you have any other advice than setting fires?" Ouyang Dao: "Now the intersection out of the mountain has been sealed, but we can't be so consumed with her." In case the viewer is provoked and someone is sent to report to the official, it will be a waste of water in the bamboo basket. ”

Zhan Ming said: "Two choices, night walking, arson." But the consequences are serious, and once they are discovered, sooner or later they will catch up with us. ”

"Risk and reward are out of proportion!" Ouyang thought about it: "I still have to let her come out by herself." ”

"What do you think?"

"Evacuate, everyone evacuate!"

Wan Yanlan intuitively told herself that Ouyang was cheating. Not only did they evacuate the officials in the back mountains, but they also evacuated everyone at the northern junction and at the foot of the mountain. For three days, according to the Taoist priest who came down the mountain, there were no outsiders in the village at the foot of the mountain. But this kind of information feedback made Wan Yanlan even more uneasy.

If Ouyang doesn't cheat, if he reports to Kaifeng Mansion, he can't protect himself with a mere Sanxia Temple. Now the only way is to escape. But which way to escape? The back mountain is the safest, but after the back mountain passes the Qing Xiu, there is no road, and it can only be a journey over the mountains and mountains. The North Road is relatively safe, and you can go directly out of the border between Tokyo and Zhengzhou, but the distance is long, and it takes a day to walk the mountain road. Descending the mountain is the most direct and fastest, less than an hour. Which one to take?

Ouyang said: "Don't think about which path she will take because of convenience, the key is what she will do after she finishes this road." The north road is long, and after a day's journey, even people who are in good health want to find a place to eat and rest. The village nearest to the North Road exit has already been staffed, so there is no need to worry about this road. She is not afraid to go down the mountain, she will inevitably buy items and utensils for escape, and at least a set of clothes. It's enough to have Zhanming lurking alone. I am most worried about going back to the mountain, and I can't say when I will come out of this mountain, or whether I can come out alive. ”

Bai Lian asked, "What if she goes back to the mountain?" ”

"It's not very likely to be back in the mountains, because I have arranged suspicious soldiers." Ouyang Dao: "I got a few dummies!" Of course, it all depends on luck. ”

Someone? After Yan Lan lowered her body, she had already left the back mountain, but as soon as she entered the roadless mountain, she found that something was wrong. The cloth can be seen in the distance, and the birds never congregate in this area, and the sound of birdsong is barely audible. Wan Yanlan is smart, which also means that she is suspicious, and when she saw this, she did not continue to move forward, but touched it back and headed towards the north road.

But she didn't expect that after leaving the North Road Trail, what was waiting for her was all the main forces led by Ouyang except Zhanming. Twenty people, each armed with a crossbow, surrounded it in a semicircle. The captain of the team led by Bai Lian shouted: "You can't run, put down your weapons." ”

Ouyang smiled and said, "You really can't run." But I can guarantee your life. ”

"You're going to die!" After Yan Lan shouted angrily, she rushed over with a short sword in her hand, and Ouyang saw clearly this time that it was a sword that was shorter than her small arm. The blade of the sword is not open, and it can be lightly tied to the arm, and when it is needed, the right hand can be directly withdrawn. It seems that in order to assassinate herself, this woman has put a lot of thought into it.

Ouyang waved his hand, and the two crossbow arrows roared away. At a distance of more than ten meters, the crossbow arrow pierced through its left and right calves. Wan Yanlan 'pounced' and fell to the ground, and the sword in her hand also fell a few meters away. Two experienced officials immediately stepped forward and tied up Wan Yanlan. Then there were officials who pulled out crossbow arrows, disinfected them with strong wine, and applied wound medicine. Everything is carried out in a regular manner, which shows that people have been waiting for them for a long time, and they have rehearsed many times.
