Chapter 45: Common Enemies

Monk Kongjing let out a long sigh and calmed down. Obviously, every time he recalls this unbearable past, it is a kind of torment for him.

In the days that followed, the group went out frequently at night, and every once in a while they would bring back a cart of young girls. More than dozens, less than a dozen. Most of the girls had dull expressions and confused eyes, and at first glance they were controlled by drugs. Then, when a certain number is assembled, someone will go up the mountain to pick and take a batch, and this kind of thing has continued until now. ”

"There will always be some clues left by such a large-scale disappearance of a girl, so no one will find out about it?" asked Yun in puzzlement.

"There must be a lot of clues, including the locals in the town down the hill who know some of them more or less. However, if the empty gang does not commit crimes locally, no one will take the initiative to intervene if those personnel are not related to themselves. In addition, most of the people in the town rely on the temple to eat, and the shops and restaurants rely on receiving pilgrims to live, if something happens to the Ganye Temple or it is gone, they will have no money to make. So many people even deliberately conceal it. Even if there are a few people who have a clear conscience and want to come out, but those fake monks go to the small town below every once in a while to make trouble, extort and extort all kinds of people, and hurt people at the slightest disappointment, and many people dare not speak out under their obscenity. ”

"The main thing is that some officials provide them with protection, and those folds of coordinated investigations in other states and counties are suppressed when they get to their own county. The catchers in the county also ate their benefits, and never came to investigate. I once had a brother who had collected evidence for more than two years and thought it was conclusive, so he sneaked down the mountain. I didn't dare to go to the county office, and I rushed to the state government office for several days without sleep. The state official promised to be good, and he must be strict and let him wait for a few days. But that night, he was captured by the monks in the temple. When he was brought back a few days later, he had been tortured to the point that he did not resemble a human form. ”

"That's not all, those beasts tied him to a big tree in the back mountain, let the wind and the sun and mosquito bites, and tortured him for three days before he died. After his death, he was not buried, and was thrown off a cliff for wild dogs to bite and lose his bones. Later, we found out that there was a mansion on the top of the hill that was intended for the governor of the state. Every once in a while, the dog officer would go up to the mountain in disguise and live for a few days. They were entertained with good wine and food, and the women who were taken back from captivity were left for him to choose, and he would give them a lot of silver before leaving. ”

"Every house on the top of the hill has a lord, and every one of them is a dignitary. He enveloped them with silver and women, and provided him with an umbrella. Those people have their own networks, and they cover each other, and they affect the whole body. ”

"Oh!" Yun now realized that he hadn't seen anyone come out of the house when he made such a big movement on the top of the mountain, it turned out that they were not from the temple but the object of the empty cage.

"These corrupt officials should have secretly killed them all at the top of the mountain just now!" Xiao Xiao gritted his teeth with hatred.

"Later, as soon as we summed it up, it seemed that the road of suing the official would not work, unless we went to the yamen of the capital. But the emperor is far away, who knows when someone will be able to ask. Even if it can be managed, it is estimated that it will be delegated to the local state and county, and in the end, it will not be done. ”

"Have you thought of any other way?" Yun asked. After all, he and Xiaoxiao are just rookies who have just entered the rivers and lakes, and they all rely on the sharpness of newborn calves who are not afraid of tigers. Now the situation is so complicated, I have no idea for a while.

"There is a way, and only in this way can the empty gang be brought to justice. There are now more than 300 monks in Ganye Temple, except for a few who are in the same stream with the empty gang, most of them are dedicated to the Buddha with good thoughts. They had long hated Sora's actions, but they dared not speak out under the obscenity of Sora's gang. One hundred and fifty or sixty of them are infallible, and we once wanted to organize everyone to fight against Sora, but we had no experience with people. Even though many people are young and strong, they have never even seen blood, and they can't fight against those bloodthirsty villains all day long. ”

"But this is the time when the opportunity came. A few days ago, the group went out at night and came back at dawn. We found that a few people were missing, and the rest were all with varying degrees of severity. Later, one of them got drunk and bragged to my little apprentice, and we learned that they had gone to the suburbs that night. It's time to take them out and get rid of the traitors. ”

"There is a seedling in the suburban county, who is also their person. Usually the number of girls they took was different, sometimes they could tie up several girls a day, and sometimes they couldn't take one for several days. They couldn't take it to the mountains frequently, so they set up a den in the suburbs. Hold the captured girl there for the time being, and then bring them up the mountain when there are enough people. Outside the seedling is the person in charge of the den. ”

But some time ago, I found out that the seedlings had selfish intentions, not only falsely reported the accounts, but also secretly sold some girls with good qualifications to fill their private pockets. The air is very angry, and he leads people to kill him. The seedling also raised more than a dozen thugs who refused to sit still, and as a result, the two sides fought. Although the gang killed all the thugs on the other side, they also killed and injured more than a dozen. Only then did the Miao Yuanwai family be wiped out and the accounts were destroyed. So most of the people are still recuperating from their injuries, and there are only a dozen people stationed at the top of the mountain. ”

"Earlier, I hid in the shadows and saw the process of your fight with the empty gang, although you two are not very old, but you are good at kung fu, and you can hold out for a long time under the siege of so many people. The main thing is that I saw your ruthlessness and determination to die. What we lack now is leaders like you, whose courage will bring out the blood of most people. A lion leading a herd of sheep doesn't necessarily lose to a few hungry wolves. I don't know what grievances you have with the empty gang, but I sincerely ask for your help in fighting against these gangsters. Of course, it would be safer if there were a few more helpers. ”

After listening to the empty quiet monk's speech, Yunyun's heart stirred, not only sympathy for the misery of the monks, but also resentment for the wicked people and even this unequal world. So the sense of justice was bursting, and he agreed to the old monk's request without hesitation.

Xiaoxiao said with a smile: "We will look for a helper, but there is no guarantee that we will be able to find it." But we don't have to fight hard! If we want to talk about medicine, those people on the top of the mountain are a few blocks away from me! I can put some medicine, and you can find an opportunity to secretly put it in their diet, so that even an elephant can sleep for several days!"

"That's a good feeling!" The old monk couldn't help but be excited: "My apprentice is responsible for giving them food and drink, and the matter of medicine is not a problem." By the way, if it is successful, it will inevitably be sent to the official. If we deal with it privately without trial, then we will also become murderers, and those corrupt officials will receive the news and kill us in order to cover up the evidence. Therefore, the evidence must be conclusive, otherwise even if the empty gang is arrested, if they do not admit it to death, and those officials dredge them, they will not be convicted. Once they are acquitted, we will face brutal and bloody retribution. The priority now is to find the location of the dungeon, free the abducted girls and try to find their families. In the face of such conclusive evidence, no matter how much he quibbles, he has no power to return to the sky. Those officials did not dare to blatantly excuse them. ”

"By the way, I almost forgot something!" Yun Yun took out the ledger from the top of the mountain from his arms: "This can be used as evidence, right?"

After turning a few pages, the old monk gave a deep salute: "Thank you two donors! With this account book, the conviction is certain." On behalf of the humiliated women and the oppressed monks, I would like to thank you both! Well, this is not the place to speak, the most important thing now is to send them out safely. Once something happens to the two of them, everything is empty talk. Now we're getting rid of them for now, but I guess they'll organize more people to search in more detail after dawn, so you'll have to leave right away. ”

"But how do you leave?" Yun Yun was a little worried: "At this moment, all the exits down the mountain should be blocked, right?"

"The poor monk has his own way!" the old monk smiled slightly, looking confident: "We are the kitchen of the temple, and the food of the whole temple is provided by us." Due to the large number of people, there is also a lot of garbage and swill. Every few days we dump it all in one place, and this time it's time to clean up. The two of you were a little wronged, hide inside, and we'll send you out. As he spoke, he told his apprentice to prepare.

When Yun and he finalized the date of going up the mountain again and how to communicate, the sound of gurgling wheels outside rang out. The little monk pushed a wooden cart with two large buckets on it, and the barrels were full of garbage. The monk told the two to hide inside and not to make a sound. Although Xiaoxiao Ai is clean and unwilling, she can't help it if she lives or dies. So the cart took them on a bumpy road.

Maybe because of the limited manpower, I saw that I was an acquaintance, so I was not carefully interrogated, and I went out of the mountain gate smoothly without danger along the way. At the foot of the mountain, the woods were released from the clouds and the little. The first thing the little feet do on the ground is to hold on to the big tree and vomit. The old monk was afraid that he would be suspected after a long time, so he said goodbye to the two of them and left in a hurry with his apprentice. And Yun and Xiaoxiao didn't dare to go back to the town because of the injuries on their bodies and the blood stains on their clothes. So I found a creek, cleaned my wounds briefly, and then recognized the direction and rushed to the suburbs.

At noon, the two rushed back to the suburbs. I didn't go to the inn to stay and rest, so I quietly came to the Shun'an Dart Bureau.

Yun felt that the helper he could find if he was unfamiliar with life here was the person who was in the dart game. And at that time, the young dart master was still indignant when he mentioned that Fang Dart was wrongfully imprisoned. Although he has seen too much of the warmth and coldness of the world, Yun Yun does not dare to have too much hope. But if you have the opportunity, you always have to try, as for whether you can achieve the popularity and creation of the square dart!
