Chapter Twenty-Six: The Siege of Fawang Temple
When Luo Jiang was arguing with the stupid dog, there was no progress in the case of Wucheng.
General Gao ordered to arrest all the people who could shoot arrows in Wucheng, but he couldn't keep it all the time, and he was angry, so he had to find out a real murderer and then let the others go.
Gao Quan, it wasn't killed by more than 100 people, right?
Although human rights are great, once the people's anger is aroused, it is still extremely difficult to solve them. Of the more than 100 people who were arrested, there were more than 500 relatives in total, and they had the mentality that the law did not blame the people, and brought the matter to the fore, causing chaos in Wucheng.
In the garrison barracks outside Wucheng, the adjutant came to report to the general general with a worried face, explaining the current situation clearly.
Mr. Gao's face was full of anger, he took a breath, and said, "Then find someone to kill first, and then investigate the real murderer slowly." ”
The adjutant seemed to have long been accustomed to this kind of careless disregard for human life, and continued: "On the day when Gongzi was killed, he once fell in love with a young lady in a restaurant and wanted to take her as a concubine, and threatened to come the next day to ask for someone. This family is all honest and responsible people, and they don't have the ability to kill their son, so I didn't touch him. Looking for the real culprit can't find them, but looking for a scapegoat, they are the most suitable, how about pulling that family out of the gang and killing them now?"
The senior general waved his hand indifferently, "Well, let's kill it." Quan Er couldn't get it when he was alive, and burned him after he died. ”
The adjutant was just about to go out to carry out the execution, but he heard a voice outside and said in a loud voice: "Mr. Gao, how about I find a scapegoat for you?"
"Who is it?"
The faces of the general and the adjutant changed in unison, and the general manager got up from his chair at once, only to see that the tent was opened, and a young man of twenty-five or sixteen years old walked in.
This man was gorgeously dressed and had an extraordinary bearing, and the high-ranking general always had a sudden burst in his heart, so he did not drink his soldiers and made other reactions.
"What do you mean by that?" asked the tall general, looking impassive.
The young man who walked in was as idle and comfortable as if he had entered his room, smiled faintly, and immediately took out a jade plaque from his belt and shook it in front of him, "I am from the capital, and the family teacher is a real person in Yuyang, the middle of the court, this time I came, I hope that the senior can always do me a favor." ”
Gao Jiang clearly saw the word "true" on the jade plate, and his eyelids jumped, this kind of jade plate was issued by the imperial court to people with status, although there was no substantive position, but the status was extremely high, and the friends were all powerful people in Beijing, and it was not at all comparable to his official position.
Gao Guard hurriedly stood up respectfully, hugged his fists and said, "It turned out to be Meng Xianchang, and the last general was rude." ”
"It doesn't matter. ”
The young man waved his hand and said, "I want to ask you for a favor, but keep it absolutely confidential." ”
"Absolute confidentiality, absolute confidentiality. The high guard hurriedly agreed.
The young man's eyes then looked at the adjutant, and the adjutant suddenly chuckled in his heart, and hurriedly said, "Definitely, definitely!"
The young man smiled and said, "Anyway, you have to find a scapegoat to save face, so why don't you take this opportunity to raid the Fawang Temple for me?"
When the senior general heard this, the thought in his heart changed, and he said without hesitation: "It's just a dilapidated temple, it's nothing." Adjutant, you passed on my order, saying that the murderer was a monk from Fawang Temple. Gather your army at once and head to Howangji Temple!"
The adjutant rushed to the order.
"Good. The young man smiled with satisfaction.
Gao always let a noble Taoist owe a favor, and Taoist Meng Bing also got his wish to raid Fawang Temple, and both of them were satisfied.
It's just that they don't know that this time they are unintentionally inserting willows and willows, and they are hitting the right one.
......
A pair of soldiers with bright armor and shiny swords drove up the Fawang Temple, blocking the large and small passages, and the Fawang Temple was surrounded.
It seems that Mr. Gao and Taoist Meng Bing are determined to wipe out all the monks.
The monks of Fawang Temple are messing around, and they are caught off guard by the sudden surge of troops, although they have good force, but they still dare not clash with the regular army, one by one the monks are not able to scratch their heads, do not understand what they have done.
And Luo Jiang on another mountain peak, he didn't even let go of him, who grew vegetables, and arrested him together.
Luo Jiang was the only one who guessed that something was probably going on, but he couldn't figure it out, could it be that he was exposed, what was the mistake?
All the monks were locked up in an empty hall, and Luo Jiang was locked up with more than two dozen monks in the temple. They didn't know what to do, and when the army went to the Fawang Temple, the first time they controlled the library pavilion, the Tibetan army pavilion and other halls.
Luo Jiang himself sat in a corner of the main hall and did not fit in with the monks. The monks speculated, not understanding why they were locked up.
At this time, a chief came to the hall and shouted at them, "You evil monks, you dare to kill the chief son, you are really impatient. Which one did it, those who know each other should quickly confess it, so as to avoid the pain of flesh and skin. The punishment in the army is not worse than the prison sentence at all, do you want to taste it?"
The monks looked at each other, they were really wronged.
Luo Jiang's heart was relieved, it turned out that he was not exposed, the biggest possibility was that he was seen by someone when he went up the mountain. However, in this group of monks, his thin body is placed there, and the suspicion is the smallest.
However, he didn't want to accompany these monks to be punished, so it was better to find a way to go out first.
"This captain!"
Luo Jiang suddenly stood up and said, "I have something to say." I want to see you all over. ”
The chief squinted at Luo Jiang and found that he was not bald, but dressed in a vulgar costume, and said, "I heard from my subordinates, you are the one who grows vegetables on the mountain, right?
Luo Jiang hugged his fists and said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "I am the eleventh year of Emperor Qinxi of the Great Qianguo. ”
Zuo Chang was slightly stunned, but then waved his hand, "The chief has something important to do, but I don't have the time to see you." You wait, when the general manager is free, I will naturally see you. ”
Xiucai does not have the qualifications to be officials, they can only pretend to be high, and those who really have the right will not care about them.
However, this also shows that this assistant chief is a rough man and his mind is not meticulous. In Daqinguo, it is rare to see talents of Luo Jiang's age, but anyone who has fame at a young age will be crowned with the title of genius, and it is a sure thing for them to be promoted in the future examination, and the future is bright. When you meet this kind of "young and promising" genius boy, it's better to make friends.
Luo Jiang's face sank slightly, and said: "I have a meritorious reputation, and I still have the right to defend myself." Do you want me to be tortured to extract a confession with these monks?"
Zuo Chang waved his hand impatiently, "You don't have to kneel in the public hall of Xiucai, but you can't avoid suspicion, you can stay honest." ”
"It seems that your identity as a talent doesn't work. "The Rhombic Demon gloated.
