Lord of the House

(Second, ask for a red ticket, see if the red ticket can break 6,000 today)

Song Jia held the window pane and watched the movement in the Zen courtyard outside the house. There was no one in the courtyard, but outside the Zen courtyard were guarded by soldiers of the Jiangdong Zuo Army. She knew that in this situation, she and Mingyue would not be able to escape.

Song Jia did not expect that the day Lin Fu returned to Chongzhou, he would attack Guangjiao Temple like a thunderbolt. This was completely beyond her expectations, but there is no regret medicine in this world. She also wanted to take Mingyue and dress up as a pilgrim to sneak in, but she didn't expect that the one who Lin Fu sent to directly lead the troops to attack the mountain gate was the assassin who twice assassinated She Feihu and missed it. Solitary confinement in this courtyard.

Seeing the little sister-in-law She Mingyue's face was bloodless and pale and panicked, Song Jia grabbed her hand and comforted: "There is nothing to worry about, is it possible that Lin Bie will not be able to eat us all at once? Don't worry, I Have your own way out!"

In early February, Song Jia received a letter from her family in Jiangning and learned that her mother was critically ill, so she disguised herself and went to sea by boat, detoured back to Jin'an, and saw her mother for the last time. She Mingyue was also a little homesick, so she went back to Jin'an with Song Jia.

She Feihu's actions in Jiangning have been strictly restricted, and it is difficult to achieve great things. He rarely leaves the house on weekdays, and outsiders can't notice that the young lady and the young lady suddenly disappeared.

Song Jia could have stayed in Jin'an and reunited after She Feihu returned to Jin'an, but after her mother's death, Song Jia decided to sneak back to Jiangning. She Mingyue has a bad relationship with her father Shewenzhuang, her mother died early, and she has a very bad relationship with several other aunts and siblings. She still feels that she is close to her mother and brother She Feihu. Song Jia returned to Jiangning, and she was self-willed. together and then set off from Jin'an.

When Song Jia and She Mingyue arrived at the islands of Changguo County, they were on their way to the East China Sea pirates plotting to invade Chongzhou, so they arrived at Chongzhou by boat with the East China Sea pirates. Due to the invasion of the estuary by East China Sea bandits, the upper reaches of the Yangtze River were tightly sealed by Ninghai Town Water Camp and Jiangning Water Camp. Song Jia and She Mingyue could only stay in Guangjiao Temple and wait for the calm to calm down before diving back to Jiangning by boat.

Unexpectedly, before the wind and waves were calm, Lin Fu sent troops to attack Guangjiao Temple like thunder on the first day he returned to Chongzhou.

Song Jia sat on the chair, but she was also confused. She didn't know what kind of emotion prompted her to make the decision to return to Jiangning. In the end, she was trapped in this small Zen courtyard and couldn't get out; A few guards were killed on the spot by Ao Canghai.

************

Lin Fu could no longer tolerate the nail of Guangjiao Temple. Donghai bandits started to slaughter Chongcheng. How could he be merciful to Guangjiao Temple's men? After he met Qin Chengzu on Changshan Island and learned about the details of the robbery in Chongzhou, he made arrangements to attack Zilang Mountain and Guangjiao Temple. The fleet arrived in Chongzhou, and did not go to Xisha Island first, but only sent Fu Qinghe, Hu Zhiyong, and Hu Zhicheng. , Li Shuyi and others got on the ship to understand the situation, arranged deployment, and landed directly on Zilang Mountain.

Lin Fu just wanted to pull out the nail of Guangjiao Temple, take the Zilang Mountain Monastery as his own, and then force the Ninghai Town Shuiying away from the Junshan Village, and completely put the Zilang Mountain, Junshan Village and Guanyin Beach under his control. among.

It can be said that Zilang Mountain, Junshanzhai and Guanyin Beach gather the danger points of Chongzhou or the north bank of the Yangtze River Estuary: to defend Chongzhou, we must first defend Zilang Mountain. It was a pleasant surprise to capture She Feihu's wife and sister, but on second thought, these two people are also very headache objects, and it is not easy to deal with.

Ao Canghai knew how powerful it was, and immediately killed all the insiders in Guangjiao Temple. The military pawns who were the first to attack the Zen Temple on the top of the mountain in Jiangdong might also leak the news. He suggested to Lin Fu that these military pawns should be removed immediately. Transfer to Changshan Island.

Lin Fu couldn't get out to see Song Jia and She Mingyue for a while. He wanted to take Wu Meijiu and Xiao Baiming to see the evidence of the crimes committed by the monks and bandits in Guangjiao Temple first. Can we force the Ninghai town water division out of the army cottage?

Cihai was killed at first, and then Jiangdong Zuo army soldiers broke into the mountain gate and attacked the mountaintop temple in one go. Many evidences could not be covered up, including more than 30 Donghai bandits who were seriously injured and could not move after attacking Chongzhou, including a large number of pirates. Prohibited armor and weapons, including detailed maps of the counties in Hailing County and the distribution map of garrisoned troops and villagers, including a secret letter written by Ci Haicai and sent to the islands of Changguo County, including a secret letter to the captured prisoners More than 40 monks and soldiers and more than 80 monks...

Even if you don't count the aunts of the luxury family, all the evidence gathered in the Zen Temple on the top of the mountain is enough to convince the monks of the Guangjiao Temple to pass the bandits. Zilang Mountain is actually a secret den of Donghai bandits in Chongzhou.

Xiao Baiming's face was ugly.

Lin Fu didn't have much power, so Ninghai Town Shuiying was oversight. Before thinking about Jiyang Xueyang, Ninghai Town Shuiying was afraid of the enemy and avoided the battle.

Even if Lin Fu has military power, as long as he is not in Chongzhou, there is nothing to worry about. However, Zilang Mountain fell into Lin Fu's hands. Looking at Lin Fu's appearance, he probably wouldn't spit out the fat he had swallowed in his stomach. The military cottage was sandwiched between Zilang Mountain and Guanyin Beach, which would be very embarrassing. .

"Captain Xiao, don't forget what you said at the foot of the mountain," Lin Fu smiled coldly and looked at Xiao Baiming, "Last autumn Taihu pirated Xisha Island, and you were afraid of the enemy and did not fight; this time the East China Sea pirates attacked Chongzhou again. , your department is still afraid of the enemy and does not fight; Guangjiao Temple is smuggling with pirates right under your nose, and your department is not aware of it - see the document of your family's Xiao Duwei, I will directly hand it to the Ministry of War, and ask your family Wei, think about how to explain it to the Ministry of War. I don't think there is anything to do with Xiao Dujian, please come back!"

Xiao Baiming didn't dare at this time, nor was he qualified to fight against Lin Fu's power. He knew from the flags hoisted by the fleet that Lin Fu was appointed as the envoy of Jinghai. privilege. Hearing that Lin Fu was going to directly impeach the commander of the Ministry of War, and openly expelled him, his face could not hang, his teeth were gnashing in his heart, but he had to plead guilty before leaving with the guards.

As soon as Xiao Baiming left, the expression on Lin Fu's face eased slightly, and he said to Wu Meijiu, "Does Master Wu still think that I would dare to slaughter the temple without any certainty?"

"My lord really lives up to his reputation, Mei Jiu really got a taste of his splendor today, and he is convinced and amazed!" Wu Meijiu didn't want to be driven away like Xiao Baiming. Now that I think about it, I really understand that Lin Fu decided to attack the temple with full confidence. The previous tricks were just trying to keep the suddenness and deceit of the offensive. Otherwise, even if the Jiangdong Zuo Army had an absolutely strong force, if the monks and soldiers in the courtyard were on alert in advance and resisted stubbornly, it would be difficult to capture Zilang Mountain if they wanted minor casualties. He bowed his hands and continued to flatter Lin Bie, saying, "Mei Jiu is here to congratulate Lord Lin for breaking this major case and overcoming this powerful enemy when he first returned to Chongzhou!"

"It also depends on the credit of Lord Wu," Lin Fu said. "Checking evidence, interrogating prisoners and others, I'm afraid it will tire Lord Wu!"

"Ah," Wu Meijiu was slightly startled, but he didn't expect Lin Fu to give him the credit. He didn't hesitate in this kind of thing, and he couldn't allow him to hesitate. He temporarily served as the magistrate of Chongzhou, and he was also the secretary of Hailing House. Lin Fu participated. Let him participate in the trial of the case, he really couldn't shirk, and said, "Master, Mei Jiu dare not obey?"

Lin Fu smiled slightly and said, "Guangjiao Temple should not be the only stronghold in Chongzhou. There are 18 monasteries in Chongzhou. If other monasteries are suspected of colluding with bandits, Master Wu should also be careful. Zi Lang Whether people around the mountain have colluded with Guangjiao Temple, I also need Wu Daming to check the fall. In addition, I led the Jiangdong Zuo army back to Chongzhou, Chongzhou city was destroyed, and there was no other military camp in Chongzhou, so I could only reluctantly. Taking the Guangjiao Temple as a camp, I hope Master Wu will not misunderstand that I want to invade the temple property!"

"How could it be, how could it be? Mei Jiu must investigate the case carefully. At this time, if he dares to make a package ticket, it will definitely satisfy the adults." Wu Meijiu can't lead the army to fight, but he has been an official for nearly 20 years and has a first-class standard. , how could he not hear it?

Lin Fu's meaning is that if other monasteries can be involved in the bandit gang case, they should be involved as much as possible. Anyone with oil and water around Zilang Mountain can be involved, and as much as possible, the temple property of Guangjiao Temple has been involved since then. Belonging to Jiangdong Zuojun, others should not have any delusions.

Lin Bie nodded and said, "It's hard work, Lord Wu!" He added, "The most important thing right now is to settle the hearts of the people. There are some believers who don't know the truth about the bandit case, and they have to bother Lord Wu to put up notices and publicize them. Chongzhou was destroyed. , Master Wu also has no office. When we went up the mountain, we saw that Guangjiao Temple has a large courtyard at the foot of the east mountain. I will send a few people here to assist Master Wu, what do you think?"

"Thank you sir for being considerate for Meijiu!" Wu Meijiu said, he didn't reject the arrangement that Lin Fu made for him. He knew that it was useless to reject it. land. He saw that Lin Fu had no good intentions towards Xiao Baiming. Even if everything was fine, Chongzhou was a mess that couldn't be worse. If you do it well, there will be no oil or water at all. If you don't do it well, you will be full of show, and you will have to suppress Lin Bie to death. The magistrate of Chongzhou is completely a thankless job.

Wu Meijiu had the desire to stay away from right and wrong, and of course he would not be in a hurry to show it. At this time, he also knew that Lin Fu should not offend him easily.

Lin Fu introduced Cao Zi'ang and Hu Zhicheng to Wu Meijiu. Wu Meijiu joined the army in the Hailing House and was unfamiliar with the situation in Chongzhou County. However, when he came to Chongzhou last year to mediate the dispute between Lin Fu and Chen Kun, he met Hu Zhicheng and Hu Zhiyong. Face, is also an acquaintance.

Lin Fubian, Cao Zi'ang and Hu Zhicheng, were responsible for moving the criminal evidence, prisoners and others to another courtyard at the foot of the mountain overnight, and interrogated the bandit case together with Wu Meijiu.

Lin Fu and Hu Zhiyong, Li Shuyi, Li Shutang and others stayed at the Peak Zen Temple to talk about things.

The monks and bandits in the Zen Temple on the top of the mountain have been completely eliminated, and multiple police posts have been added to protect the safety of Lin Fu and others. However, many monks and soldiers escaped into the mountain when they attacked the mountain. Although Zilang Mountain was not big, it was still several miles around. Ao Canghai and Ning Zechen had to arrange for military soldiers to search the mountain overnight.

Hu Zhiyong and Hu Zhicheng had been involved in secret affairs for a long time, and they knew the tricks hidden in Guangjiao Temple, but it was a little surprising that they could pull out this nail without much effort.

Li Shuyi was the secretary office of the household in Chongzhou County. At first, he was forced to send the magistrate Chen Kun to Xisha Island to participate in disaster relief. Convinced, naturally also eliminated the prejudice against Lin Bie. Li Shuyi is the official responsible for the resettlement of Xisha Island refugees on behalf of Chongzhou County. Xisha Island is very cooperative with Fu Qinghe and Hu Zhiyong in many matters.

Li Shutang is Li Shuyi's clan brother and the head of the Chongzhou local clan of the Li clan. At first, he was very fond of Lin Fu's entry into Chongzhou, and he was worried that the Lin clan would infiltrate Chongzhou. Last year, when the East China Sea invaders invaded Chongzhou, the Li family was facing the danger of annihilation. Lin Fu resettled the refugees on Xisha Island and invested heavily in the reconstruction of Xisha Island. Locally, the Li family was the main supporter. After all, in Chongzhou County, the power and influence of the Hu family and the resources that can be mobilized are far from that of the Li family. .

However, neither Li Shuyi nor Li Shutang can be regarded as Lin Fu's direct lineage. They did not participate in many confidential matters. Naturally, they did not know the details of Guangjiao Temple in advance. They had been with Lin Fu since they attacked the mountain gate. At this time, they almost understood the matter. come over.

Lin Fu asked Li Shuyi and Li Shutang to sit down with them, and said, "You probably heard that I signaled Wu Meijiu to take another monastery to perform surgery together. I don't know what you think?"

"Your Excellency is thoughtful and well-thought-out, and it's not me who can speculate..." Li Shutang and Li Shuyi said.

"I'm not that difficult to talk to. It's not the first time you met me. Some of my appearances are made for outsiders to see. I can't get used to it." Lin Fie laughed and asked Li Shuyi and Li Shutang not to be restrained. Said, "Chongzhou suffered this catastrophe, the city was destroyed and it needed to be rebuilt, thousands of families were broken, the village soldiers and officials' families who died defending the city needed to be appeased, and the Hailing Prefecture and the prefectures could not provide much money to make up for it. , it can only be financed by the locality. How can the locality raise it by itself? It can't take a fortune from the common people? It is not an easy task to let the big local households take out the money..."

"The Li family is willing to donate a thousand stone grains and a thousand taels of silver for the reconstruction of Chongcheng and to appease the people, and another thousand stone grains and a thousand taels of silver to comfort the Jiangdong Zuo Army..." Li Shutang quickly stated that this time the East China Sea pirates The invasion of Chongzhou was also due to Fu Qinghe's immediate dispatch of troops to ensure Lijiazhai Fort, but Lijiazhai Fort was the key target of the East China Sea raiders.

"Thanks to the Li family's thoughts on behalf of the Jiangdong Zuo Army and the people of Chongzhou," Lin Fu said, "but it is far from the shortage, so I have to think of other methods. Of course, I will not be merciful to the monasteries and village tyrants who are suspected of bandits. Maybe I can make up for it... Of course, Wu Meijiu is the official seal of Chongzhou at this time, and it is inconvenient for me to directly intervene in some things. If Shuyi is willing, I can I recommend you to take up a more important position, so some things must be made clear to you first..."

If Lin Fu gets involved, it will be a considerable wealth to take over the temple property of more than a dozen monasteries in Chongzhou County as official property~www.wuxiaspot.com~, and it may be able to make up for the cost of rebuilding Chongzhou and helping the casualties. , but the local monastic forces did not exist in isolation, and were intertwined with the local squire forces.

One is that the monks and nuns of the monastery are all local people, and the survival of the monastery is a matter of their vital interests; the other is that many landowners who send their fields to the name of the monastery to evade the tax are themselves nobles from the villages of Chongzhou, and the Li family has a lot of land property sent to the monastery. If the monastery is under the name of the monastery, if it is involved in the monastery, it will infringe on their vital interests; the third is that the monastery itself has a broad base of believers in the local area.

Of course, if Wu Meijiu wants to get involved and uproot the monastic forces, it is absolutely impossible. No one in Chongzhou County will cooperate with him, and they will secretly **** him. Call out Chongzhou, but Lin Fu can do it. The local forces involved in the monastery in Chongzhou County are no longer enough to compete with Lin Fu. Not only does Lin Fu hold military power, but Lin Fu's prestige can also enable him to gain the support of a wide range of people in Chongzhou who have no interest in the monastery. Of course, Lin Bie was going to come to the crossroads, so he directly shot the crime of ganging up and led troops to suppress it. No one in Chongzhou County could resist with a neck.

Li Shutang also vaguely knew that there were contradictions at the first level of the Chu Party, but the Li family was not qualified to stand in line at that level. Whether it was emotionally or from the actual interests at hand, the Li family could only follow Lin Fu, Following the Jiangdong Zuo Army closely, even if there will be losses at the moment, the vision must be taken longer. Li Shuyi didn't say anything, Li Shutang took the stand first, saying: "Your Excellency considers the people of Chongzhou, Shutang truly feels the great benevolence and righteousness of Your Excellency, and for doing great things, there is really no need to limit the details. I also have a family temple in Li's family. Temple property, for the reconstruction of Chongcheng, should be donated together!" My QT room is open!
