Chapter Fifty-Nine: Xiu'an
Dongfang Li sighed: "That's right, after copying for about three years, the little merchant began to ask him for documents related to the secrets of the imperial court and the Daomen, and it was still at this price." He woke up at this time but it was too late, in the past three years he copied hundreds of newspapers and reports to this Western Xia businessman, received less than three hundred taels of silver, he wanted to withdraw, where would people agree, if he wanted to quit, people would write a letter to expose him, so he was out of control, obediently controlled, until the matter was revealed. β
Zhao Ran didn't say anything for a long time, and the palace supervisor of the dignified palace sold himself unknowingly for such a small amount of money, which is really regrettable.
I only heard Dongfang Li ask again: "Do you know how he was exposed?"
"Senior Brother Li, don't sell Guanzi, do you dig out the radish and bring out the mud?"
"That's true. This prison is remarkable, using the money provided by the house, a women's nunnery was built in the suburbs, and young women were recruited from all over the country to be trained, to teach music and dance, and to specialize in the secret art of the boudoir. This matter has been done for eight years, and if it weren't for the two who escaped from the nunnery three months ago, I am afraid that no one would have noticed about it. β
This is the second time Zhao Ran has heard this kind of thing happen inside Daomen, the last time I heard Du Teng mention it when he was being censored in Lushan, I remember that Du Teng would say that it was Wuchang Qingyuan Palace, but I didn't expect this kind of thing to happen in Zhejiang. But it's relieved to think about it, there has always been a habit of training thin horses in the land of fireworks in the south of the Yangtze River, and being a prison in this kind of place is a person who has been abducted astray, with power in his hands and a hopeless future, what else can he do if he doesn't enjoy it desperately?
"This prison has been luxuriously enjoyed for eight years, and now it is deserved. β
Dongfang Li said: "If it is only like this, it will not involve our Sanqing Pavilion." After this incident broke out, it was first jointly investigated and dealt with by Zhejiang Wanhuaguan and Zongguan Fangtang, and as soon as this guy entered, he poured beans into a bamboo tube and recruited all things......"
"It's also a bachelor. β
"He just wants to die quickly. β
Zhao Ran sighed secretly, and then asked, "Senior Brother Li, continue." β
"There are two main crimes he confessed, one of which is that he was forced to work as a meticulous worker in Western Xia for more than ten years, which is also the reason why I went to investigate the case. The Western Xia merchants who plotted against him now have fled to now, and the surrounding provinces of Zhejiang are all wanted. Second, according to his account, there were twelve nuns in this nunnery, well, according to him, these women were called nuns...... In addition to his own enjoyment, the biggest use is to select the more outstanding 'female cultivators' and send them to the upper third house. β
"Did you go to the upper three palaces to check?"
"When it comes to the monks of the Upper Third Palace, Fang Tang can't intervene, and the case is transferred to the Shangguan Dongji Pavilion, so the Dongji Pavilion and our Sanqing Pavilion formed a joint investigation team again, and wanted to enter the Upper Third Palace, but was blocked by Chen Shandao. β
What happened later was more intense, and Li Tianshi and Zhao Zhenren of the East Pole Pavilion took the investigation team to the capital Yuanfu Palace, and came to find Chen Shandao, the master of the Yuanfu Palace Guardian Dao, who was always photographed in the third palace, and was vetoed by Chen Shandao again.
Chen Shandao's reason is that this is a false accusation by the Daogong Prison of Jinhua Mansion, and there is no evidence to show that these women were sent to the Shangsangong, and they will be examined in the Shangsangong only on the basis of the confession of a Shifang Jungle Prison, which is pouring dirty water on Chen Shandao and planting a false accusation against his dignified heavenly master, and it is even more disrespectful to the Ming Dynasty! Even if the Son of Heaven and the court are established by the Daomen, this is after all the Son of Heaven of the Ming Dynasty and the faΓ§ade of the Ming Dynasty, how can they mess around at will?
The two sides had a dispute in Yuanfu Palace, Chen Shandao put down his cruel words, if the Dongji Pavilion messed around without conclusive evidence, he did not hesitate to fight for his reputation!
Zhao Ran was very excited when he heard this: "Did you fight?" Chen Shandao was alone, presumably Li Tianshi and Zhao Zhenren could overthrow him, right?"
Dongfang Li rolled his eyes: "What kind of joke did Zhiran say?"
"Haha, just kidding. What happened in the end? Is there any solid evidence that can be found in the third house?"
Dongfang Li said: "It's really not, it's really just the testimony of the prison, according to him, every year in the Third Palace, people will be sent to Jinhua, and if they meet someone who is well trained, they will pick one or two, if not, they won't bring any of them." In the past eight years, a total of six have been picked. The key is that every time someone comes with a mask, I don't know who it is, and what they show is also the token they agreed with that year. β
"How did you make an appointment back then?"
"The person who went to find him back then was also wearing a mask, I don't know who it was, it was the monk who claimed to be in the third palace, and gave him 5,000 taels of silver for the preparation fee. He just typed the receipt, and then left. At that time, he was still the welcome of the number room, and they said at the time that if he couldn't do it, he wouldn't want to be the welcome guest of the number room, and if he did it well, let him be a prison within three years. β
"And he believed?"
"Directly throw out 5,000 taels of silver tickets for you, as long as you receive a receipt, and then give you two choices, in exchange for you, what will you choose?"
Zhao Ran said: "I will hand over the silver ticket." β
Dongfang Lile said: "You are raising the bar." He's not clean himself, how dare he do that?"
Zhao Ran sighed: "It seems that you can really only give it a try." β
"Yes, so he tried, and it took a year to get it up and running, and the next year he switched from a house to a patrol. In the fifth year, he was promoted to prison. β
"Who promoted him? Let's see if we can check it!"
"It's useless, the old prison that promoted him resigned three years ago, and died of illness two years ago. We checked the corresponding procedures for his promotion, and all of them were in accordance with the law. He also asked the three capitals of the Dao Palace that year, and in the deliberations of the three capitals, his election was jointly nominated by the capital chef and the capital management, and the prison and the capital talked about it, and after the approval of Wanhuaguan, he obtained all the votes by the public recommendation, and then ascended to the throne. There is nothing suspicious in the whole process, or we can't find any doubts. But it is true that he is promoted. β
"Senior Brother Li, after listening to you, why do I feel a little chill down my spine?"
"Either he ran into a liar, or he got caught in a big net. β
"Spending 5,000 taels of silver to set up a Taoist nunnery, and only six of them were selected in eight years, where is such a liar? I also want to meet one. β
"Huh...... Ten days ago, the True Master Hall was convened in Lushan for this matter, and the final conclusion was that the Dongji Pavilion and the Sanqing Pavilion could not search any of the cultivation pavilions, even the Shangsangong, without conclusive evidence. According to the Yunyi Great Heavenly Master and Changyu Dazhenren, this wind must not be opened, otherwise everyone in the pavilion in the world will be in danger. β
Zhao Ran was silent for a moment and said, "I agree." β
Dongfang Li smiled: "You see, even you agree with this resolution...... Therefore, this matter ends here, unless the East Pole Pavilion comes up with clear evidence, the intention of searching the upper three palaces will definitely not be realized. β
