The straight man who wears bright clothes is also afraid of messing with him

On October 25th in the [-]th year of Hongwu, in the evening, Guangyuan Temple welcomed a group of uninvited guests.

"Open the door! Open the door!" There was a knock on the door of the temple, and a group of Jinyi guards in flying fish suits stood outside the door with embroidered spring knives in their hands.

The little monk opened the corner door, and before he could speak, he was pushed staggeringly. A group of Jin Yiwei cleared the way, and Gao Cheng entered the door with big strides.

"My lord, what do you mean?"

The little monk is not an ordinary person. Although he has some scruples, he is not afraid.

Gao Cheng came all the way to the entrance of the main hall, and said with a blank face: "Jin Yiwei handles the case and asks your abbot to come out!"

In fact, when Gao Cheng and others appeared nearby, the abbot was informed by the eyeliner of Guangyuan Temple. Before Gao Cheng finished speaking, he saw a monk with white beard and hair coming from a distance, clasped his hands together, and proclaimed the Buddha's name: "Amitabha, goodness, goodness, my lord came here, but I was not far away to welcome you, please forgive me."

Gao Cheng narrowed his eyes slightly, bowed his hands to return the salute, and said with a smile: "The abbot is serious, I broke in without notification, it is my disrespect."

"How dare, how dare! I don't know what your lord is doing here?"

"I was ordered to investigate a case and came here to search for evidence. I hope the abbot will cooperate."

The abbot readily agreed: "It's natural. I don't know what case your lord is talking about?"

Gao Cheng tentatively asked: "In the third year of Hongwu, the massacre that happened in Xi'an Mansion, I wonder if the abbot has heard of it?"

"The third year of Hongwu?" The abbot lowered his eyes to hide the emotions in his eyes, and after a moment of silence, he said, "My lord is referring to the massacre of the Song family in Lantian County?"

Gao Cheng nodded and said, "That's right, this is the case. It seems that the abbot has some knowledge about the Song family's extermination case. It is said that their family of more than thirty members were all buried in Yushan. I wonder if it is true?"

The abbot proclaimed the Buddha's name and said: "Amitabha, people in the Buddhist sect are merciful. Thirty innocent lives were lost overnight. I was very impressed when I learned that my heart ached. It's just whether those who died in vain were buried in Yushan, I have never seen it with my own eyes, so I dare not speak falsely."

Gao Cheng raised his eyebrows, "Oh? The abbot doesn't know?"

The abbot replied calmly: "My lord, forgive me, I really don't know."

"However, an officer who worked in Lantian County said that they buried more than [-] corpses in the back mountain of Guangyuan Temple. How could the abbot not know?"

The abbot said firmly: "Monks don't lie. I have been a monk in Guangyuan Temple for nearly 30 years. I have never seen anyone bury anyone's body in the back mountain. Don't listen to slander."

Gao Cheng said in a difficult way: "The abbot is a monk with many rules and regulations, and he will never lie, but that person's confession is another story, and this official can't ignore it. This matter is really difficult."

"Amitabha, you don't have to be in trouble, you can take people to the back mountain to search, so that you can verify whether what the old monk said is true." The abbot looked upright.

"The abbot is really a sensible person!" Gao Cheng's eyes flashed ridicule, he looked at the sky outside, and said: "I'm afraid we can't do it today, I can only bother the abbot for a day, and I will make plans after the search tomorrow. I don't know what the abbot wants?"

The abbot said in embarrassment: "My lord can stay overnight in this temple. This is what I wish for, but there are not many guest houses in this temple, and the only one has been occupied..."

Jin Yiwei behind Gao Cheng turned cold, and said sharply: "Presumptuous! Who dare not take Jin Yiwei seriously?"

Gao Cheng scolded: "Zheng Man, don't be rude to the abbot!"

The abbot quickly explained: "They are guests who came to Yushan to play. Because their master has a sudden illness and has not woken up, so they have been living in this temple."

Zheng Man bowed and said: "My lord, this subordinate will lead people to drive them out."

Gao Cheng's complexion changed when he heard the words, and he said displeasedly: "Zheng Man! We are official servants, not bandits. If I let this official hear such inappropriate words, I will definitely not take it lightly! Also, we have been ordered to conduct a secret investigation this time. It’s not easy to make a big splash.”

Zheng Man argued: "My lord, there is only one guest house in this monastery. Brothers don't care, but you can't be wronged!"

"I think this hall is not bad. It's brightly lit and spacious enough. Brothers feel wronged for a night and rest here. As for me, if the abbot doesn't mind, can you give me a lecture to resolve the problem in my heart?" Hostility?"

"Amitabha, this is my honor!"

Gao Cheng said happily: "In that case, I will thank the abbot! But I have to trouble the abbot to order someone to prepare some meals for the brothers."

"This is what it should be. My lords, wait a moment." The abbot looked at Liao Hai beside him, and said, "Liu Hai, go and prepare meals for your lords."

Liao Hai responded and exited the hall.

"After your lord has dinner, I will give you a lecture on the scriptures."

"Then it's a deal!"

About half an hour later, the food was delivered one after another, and Gao Cheng ate it without any scruples. He didn't believe they were so bold.Dare to accept all of their brocade guards.

After eating and drinking enough, the other Jinyi guards were in the main hall, and Gao Cheng, led by the abbot, went all the way to the meditation room, and the abbot gave Gao Cheng a lecture.Until late at night, Gao Cheng still didn't feel sleepy, but the more he listened, the more energetic he became. He even cried his nose and tears when he was emotional.The tall man was crying so hard, the scene was so beautiful, the abbot said he really didn't want to see it!If Cui Miao saw it, she would feel ashamed.This is simply the movie king himself!

In the middle of the night, the noisy monastery quieted down, the autumn wind whizzed past, rolled up the fallen leaves on the ground, swirling them, and blowing on people was extremely cool!

Cui Miao and Shen Qing came out of the guest courtyard over the wall and found that the young monk watching outside the courtyard was gone. They looked at each other and went straight to the abbot's bedroom.With Gao Cheng helping to attract attention this time, those people should not notice them anymore, so Cui Miao agreed to Shen Qing's following, in fact it's okay not to agree, Shen Qing never gave him a chance to refuse.

The two came all the way to the courtyard where the abbot's bedroom was located. Generally, the abbot's bedroom and the Zen room are two adjacent rooms, but here the Zen room used by the abbot to entertain guests is in a room on the west side of the main hall, far away from the bedroom. It is also because of this that it is convenient for Cui Miao and the others to do things.

Seeing the little monks yawning and chatting at the door, Cui Miao repeated his old trick, fascinated them with incense, and then quietly sneaked in through the window.Cui Miao ignited the torch in her hand, lit the oil lamp on the table, and whispered: "Ah Qing, remember where things are, and try to return to the original position after moving them."

Shen Qing nodded, and the two acted separately, Cui Miao was responsible for finding the location of the entrance, while Shen Qing was looking for other clues.Cui Miao went straight to the wall where the entrance was, and looked at the Buddha statue in front of him. It was a reclining Buddha, about 50 centimeters high and one meter long.The Buddha's eyes are closed, his head is propped on his left hand, and a string of rosary beads is held in his right hand.In front of the Buddha statue is an altar with incense candles on it. Three incense sticks are burning in the incense burner. The white smoke is misty and the fragrance fills the whole room.On both sides of the incense burner are two candlesticks, and on the candlesticks are two white wax, which are as thick as a baby's arm.There are three plates of tribute placed on the outermost position, which should be the new dim sum made today, and there is nothing else.

Cui Miao carefully moved all the items on the table, and carefully observed the changes in the wall behind. Unfortunately, the door opening mechanism was not touched.He squatted down again to check the ground, and found nothing unusual on the flat ground.Cui Miao frowned. There was absolutely no way he could have read it wrong that day. The abbot was standing when he closed the mechanism, just like the front of the Buddha statue. The switch of the mechanism must also be on this altar.Cui Miao inspected the reclining Buddha carefully, and found that the Buddha statue was a whole without any gaps. The only thing that was considered special was the string of rosary beads, which were actually made of agate.Hypnosis counted, there were as many as ninety-nine and 81.Its value is not cheap, and it is more than enough to buy this temple.He stretched out his hand to pull the rosary, trying to take it off, but unexpectedly pulled it, and heard a soft sound of the mechanism starting.

Cui Miao said happily: "Ah Qing, I think I have found a way to open the organ."

Shen Qing came to Cui Miao's side, and the two of them waited for the mechanism to open together. The altar table moved slowly to the right, and stopped after moving about 50 centimeters away. Immediately afterwards, the wall behind the altar table also began to move slowly. A secret door for one person to enter and exit appeared in front of him.

Shen Qing asked: "Shall we go in and check?"

Cui Miao hesitated for a moment, and said, "If you go in, you need to leave one person outside..."

Shen Qing interrupted Cui Miao's words, and also got rid of Cui Miao's unspoken thoughts, saying: "Then I won't go in, first solve the troubles outside, and then make plans."

Cui Miao nodded with a wry smile and said, "Alright, then let's get out first."

Cui Miao pulled the rosary again, the mechanism was activated, and everything returned to its original position.They went out quietly, tied up the two young monks on duty at the door, gagged their mouths, and dragged them to a flower bush.After finishing all this, the two went straight to the guest courtyard.

Back in the guest house, Cui Miao ordered: "Brothers copy the guys, it's time to do it!"

Everyone took out their weapons one after another. Lang Ping's eyes sparkled with excitement, and he said, "It's been a long time since I've fought, and my bones are weak. Tell me, Qianhu, how should we fight?"

Cui Miao looked at the crowd with a funny face, and said with a straight face, "Chen Hu, you are responsible for protecting Shen Jun. The others are divided into two teams, one team will follow me to the main hall, and the other team will follow Lord Hou to the monk's room. Remember, These people are not ordinary monks, so don’t take it lightly. If you lose your life here, it will be capsized in the gutter, and after you get out, don’t say they are soldiers of my Yanshan Guard, do you understand?”

Everyone lowered their voices and said in unison: "Understood!"

Cui Miao led Lang Ping and the other three, took advantage of the cover of the night, and walked quickly towards the hall with their weapons in hand.
