Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

"Of course you should go back and check carefully. If you have solid evidence, then search the Dade Temple."

Guo Ye said: "Wang Shizhong, you are wrong to say that. Someone Guo has engaged in such a big battle, just to search for evidence of monks committing crimes. I am already scaring the snake. Now if I listen to your words If they return in vain, these monks will definitely destroy all the evidence. Then what's the point of someone Guo making a comeback?"

"In Qin Guogong's opinion, you must search this Dade Temple?"

"Must search!"

"Okay!" Old Wang Gui said with a frosty face, "Then Duke Qin, please do it! If you don't find anything later, you can go to court with the old man before His Majesty! The old man would like to ask His Majesty, My Wang Gui is an extremely human minister, why can’t I even protect the peace of my ancestors? In the world of the Tang Dynasty, is the surname Li or Guo?”

Guo Ye bowed and said: "Old servant, if something happened here, the boy must come to the door in person to plead guilty! But, now... I have offended you! Come!"

"exist!"

"Search for me!"

"Here!"

Immediately, all the yamen servants rushed up, wiped their shoulders and folded their arms, and tied up Monk Sekong and others tightly.Then the soldiers divided into teams and began a rigorous search in Dade Temple!

The yamen servants of Chang'an Mansion are far from being strict in military discipline. Now they are ordered to search. Although they dare not disturb the female pilgrims, they have also made a mess of Dade Temple.The golden body of the Buddha and the Dharma image of the Bodhisattva were thrown up and down by them, and the monk's robes, hats, cassocks, and shoes were thrown everywhere by them.Some with unclean hands and feet even secretly hid some gold, silver and jewels.

Seeing this, Wang Gui didn't stop him, just sneered and said nothing.

Guo Ye wanted to take care of it, but he had just taken office, and he couldn't even recognize everyone. Even if he wanted to enforce military discipline, he couldn't start.What's more, now is the time for employing people, so we can only turn a blind eye and close one eye.

Things have developed to the present, and Guo Ye is already on the verge of riding a tiger.Or, if the yamen servants found evidence that monks raped women, hello, hello, everyone, even if there is anything wrong with what the yamen servants did, they can be exposed.Or, the yamen servants can't find evidence that the monks violated the law, and Guo Ye has to be skinned if he is not dead, so it doesn't matter whether the yamen servants strictly abide by the law or not.

"Report! Qin Guogong, I didn't check anything!"

"Report! You are incompetent in a humble position, and you get nothing."

"Report! There seems to be no prohibited items in the east courtyard of Dade Temple!"

……

As the servants returned more and more rewards, Guo Ye's face became more and more ugly.Until the last team of yamen servants reported back, no real evidence was found.The only prohibited thing is two spiced dog legs.

This time, Wang Gui caught the reason and said: "Mr. Qin, is it possible that the evidence of the monks committing crimes refers to these two dog legs? Could it be that the old man's face, the face of the old man's ancestors, are even two Worse than dog legs?"

Monk Sekong said: "Wang Shizhong, you can't be fooled by Guo Ye! He's not two dog legs, he's for you! He searched your family temple just to hit you in the face... no... ...I didn't hit you in the face, but rode on your neck to shit! You are so old, and you were humiliated by a junior, and the monk feels wronged for you. You can't let him go lightly!"

"Of course the old man can't let him go lightly!" Old Wang Gui stretched out his hand, grabbed Guo Ye's sleeve, and said, "Duke Qin, let's go! Let's enter the palace together to face the saint."

Li Xinglian hastily pleaded for Guo Ye: "Wang Shizhong, come on slowly! Today's incident is completely caused by Qin Guogong's mistrust of others' words, which made this big mistake. I can assure you that he has no intention of disrespecting you old man. In fact, before coming He has no idea that this is your old man's family temple! Your lord has a lot of people, and the prime minister can hold a boat in his belly, so it's better not to be as familiar with the younger generation..."

"Misunderstanding people's words?"

"Exactly!"

"Then who did Duke Qin believe wrongly? Who is this person's name, where is his hometown, what is his occupation, and how old is he?"

"Uh... To be honest, it's my nephew! Zhong'er, hurry up and visit your grandpa Wang!"

Li Zhong knelt down on the ground and said: "Grandpa Wang is here, grandson is being polite."

Li Xinglian asked Li Zhong to kowtow to Wang Gui, saying that he was a grandfather. This gesture was already quite low.It is true that Li Zhong is 19 years old this year, and Wang Gui is [-] years old, so calling him a grandfather will not hurt him.But don't forget that Li Xinglian and Wang Gui are ministers in the same palace, and they have no relationship with each other. They used to be friends of the same generation.With Li Zhong's voice, Li Xinglian was immediately a generation shorter.

However, Wang Gui was still relentless, and he said: "I thought you and Qin Guogong met by chance. Now I understand, you are in the same group! Didn't say anything, Li Shilang, you also go with the old man Bar!"

"Don't! Wang Shizhong, listen to my explanation... This is not what you imagined..."

"Go to His Majesty and explain!"

Old Wang Gui was pulling Guo Ye's sleeve with one hand, and Li Xinglian's robe belt with the other, and he was about to go out!Neither Guo Ye nor Li Xinglian dared to struggle yet!why?Wang Gui was in his seventies and eighties, and when they exerted a little force, old Wang Gui fell to the ground, and he might die here.Who can bear the responsibility of wrongly harming the Prime Minister of the Tang Dynasty?

Seeing that he was about to be taken outside the temple, Li Xinglian gritted his teeth and became cruel, and said: "Wang Shizhong, today's matter is a thousand mistakes, and it's all my fault. Li Xinglian's body. If you want to kill or cut him up, take it as you please, I, Li Xinglian, have no other words. But Qin Guogong is innocent, he was forced by me, you should let him go!"

"Hey, Li Shilang, don't worry! Both, both! Now you and Qin Guogong are grasshoppers on the same rope, and you can't escape you, and you can't jump him! Today, neither of you can leave!"

Chapter 1735 Three searches for Dade Temple (2)

Guo Ye said in a deep voice: "Wang Shizhong, please respect yourself. We are all high-ranking officials of the imperial court, and you are the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty. What is it like to make such a fuss? Let go of your hands, and I will go with you."

Wang Guidao: "Li Shilang, what do you say?"

"I'll go with you too."

Only then did Wang Gui let go and said, "Please, both of you!"

"Slow down!" Guo Ye said: "Don't worry, Wang Shizhong, Guo has a few words to say."

"You speak!"

Guo Ye sighed, and said: "If I just leave with you like this, I'm afraid I won't be able to get anything good from His Majesty's side. At least I can't keep the job of the Chang'an Order. Whether the other jobs can be kept is up to you." It depends on His Majesty's mood. If it doesn't work out, I will have to receive a salary just like Duke Xun Zhang Liang, and go home to take care of me at a young age. Don't you think so?"

"Hmph! You didn't ask for this. Now you want to beg for mercy? It's too late!"

"Wang Shizhong, you misunderstood, Guo did not want to beg for mercy from you."

"Then what do you mean?"

"What I mean is that I want to lose my heart."

"Convinced?"

"To be precise, I just want to search the Dade Temple again to see if there are any omissions by the gang of yamen servants. If they still can't find anything, Mr. Guo will completely admit his guilt and accept the crime!"

"Search again?"

Guo Ye bowed to the end, and said: "I hope Wang Sizhong will agree to this ruthless request!"

Wang Gui twisted his silver beard with his hands, and said: "Okay, I will let you be convinced today. You can search again... But we have to get to the front of our ugly words, and we can't repeat it again and again. Search again this time. No, you have to fight this imperial lawsuit with the old man."

"As you wish."

"A gentleman's word!"

"Hurry up and whip!"

Guo Ye also went all out, and summoned all the yamen servants again, and said: "Everyone, if we can't find any evidence that the monks have committed crimes today, the Changan Order of Mr. Guo must have come to an end. But, I am not happy, you guys Don’t even think about it! Someone Guo must have stripped off your clothes before taking off the black hat. In the future, I will be unofficial and light, and you will all become ordinary people. On the contrary, if someone finds the evidence It’s over, nothing to say, the official promotion to three ranks, the reward... Wanguan!”

Under heavy rewards and severe punishments, the servants really put in a lot of effort.The second search was so detailed that it was almost three feet away.

After an hour passed, the second search was considered over.But the final result was that the nephew played the lantern—as usual!

"Qin Guogong, no!"

"Qin Guogong, I'm sorry, we tried our best!"
