Jia Lian asked Jia Zhen who was standing on the side with him strangely: "Is there a place called Shuiyue Temple here in our capital? Haven't you heard of it?"

Jia Zhen didn't know either, so she shook her head and said, "Maybe it's a small nunnery made by the princess or the woman in the back house? I just don't know what they did. The aunts we saw entangled with Mrs. Wang just now should be them." Someone to arrest?"

The two of them didn't deliberately lower their voices, the yamen servant who asked the boy naturally heard it, threw the hesitating boy aside and walked over.

When the yamen servant saw the two men's clothes, he knew they were not ordinary people, and he didn't dare to be as rude as he was to the servants, so he politely asked them where they saw those nuns.

When Jia Zhen went to express her condolences, she heard a quarrel behind the mourning hall, so she went to see what was going on, but she heard someone inside clamoring for Mrs. Wang to give them some elders' explanations.

However, just as they passed by, the eldest girl from Xue's family also passed by. When she heard Miss Xue's voice, the voices inside also stopped, and then they left.

Jia Lian also echoed, "We thought it was the aunt who was invited by the second wife to do Jia Zhu's work, and we didn't pay much attention to it. You can go and ask the second wife directly. We just came to pay tribute to the deceased, and we don't know much about it."

The yamen servants also had winks, and they didn't dare to offend these prestigious people at will. Knowing that there was nothing to ask, they didn't say more.

Just when the yamen servant was about to walk in, Jia Zhen said again: "I am the current patriarch of the Jia clan, do you know what happened?" Then, he stuffed a five-liang silver ingot son.

The yamen servant thought for a while, and after accepting the money, he said: "We brothers don't know exactly what happened, but when we went to Shuiyue Temple to arrest Ma Daopo, we found Ma Daopo dead. Now those nuns are all suspects. They have to be brought back for interrogation."

Jia Zhen and Jia Lian were taken aback for a moment, and after looking at each other, they probably understood what was going on, and immediately handed over their hands to let the yamen servants continue their work, and they went back to Rongguo Mansion with the two young ones behind them.

Entering the courtyard of the Rongguo Mansion, Jia Zhen said to her son: "Jia Rong, you and Brother Qiang were fooling around just now, what's going on?"

It is said that knowing a son is more like a father, Jia Zhen can guess what he is holding back when Jia Rong sticks out his ass. Just now he and Jia Lian wondered when there was a nun temple called Shui Jing'an in the capital. There's definitely something wrong with expressions.

Jia Lian must have seen that something was wrong, so he cooperated with him to draw the yamen servant's gaze to him, and deliberately kept the two cubs behind him, so as not to expose the two idiots.

Jia Rong didn't dare to hide it from his father, so he hurriedly told the truth: "Shuijing Temple, most people don't know much about it, but you should have heard of the Mantou Temple next to our family temple. Shuiyue Temple is Mantou Temple."

Jia Lian was taken aback for a moment, and then suddenly realized: "It is said that the cook of a certain prince's mansion was invited to the stove. The steamed buns are very sweet and attract many pilgrims?"

Jia Rong and Jia Qiang nodded strangely and said, "Well, it's the Mantou Temple." Then they didn't dare to speak.

Jia Zhen shouted angrily with an ugly face: "You two bastards, how do you know where it is?"

Only then did Jia Lian feel something was wrong: "Is there something wrong with the Mantou Temple? What's wrong with Big Brother Zhen? By the way, it turns out that Jia Baoyu's godmother is placing orders at the Mantou Temple."

Jia Zhen's complexion was really not pretty at the moment, and Jia Lian finally realized that something was wrong. He probably had something to say to the outside world, so he simply took them back to his study.

After entering the study, he screened off the boys, and sent someone to report to Jia Amnesty and Jia Jing that they had returned, and after a while they all got together in the Rongxi Hall.

Only then did Jia Zhen explain: Actually, people of certain status in the capital know about the Mantou Temple. Only the rouge tiger in your family is strict with you, so you don't know what's going on there.

It turns out that this Shuiyue Nunnery was built more than 20 years ago by the side concubine of the Beijing Prince's Mansion, who offered to shave her hair and become a nun, using her dowry on a hill not far from Tiekan Temple nunnery.

But Shuiyue Nunnery was originally a small nunnery, a place where the side concubine cultivated her body and cultivated her character. The real famous one was after the new presiding nun Jingxu took over the nunnery ten years ago.

Tiekan Temple is the family temple of Jia's family. Although the back hall is the place where Jia's mansion stops to hold funerals, the Taoist temple in the front is open to the outside world. Jia Daishan's Buddhist substitute, Taoist priest Zhang, has some skills, so the incense is very popular.

Many high-ranking officials and dignitaries would come to Tiechan Temple to ask for divination. Of course, it is also to win over the nobles of the Jia family. Although Tiechan Temple is located in the suburbs of Beijing, the road to and from it is not too short. Kansi will choose to stay overnight.

For money, the old nun Jingxu asked the cook brought by the side concubine in charge to make steamed buns, and then let the little nun take the steamed buns to Tiekan Temple and give them to the pilgrims who stayed overnight. After the pilgrims tasted them, they found that the steamed buns were sweet. If it is chewy, you will look for it curiously.

Faced with such a situation of attracting pilgrims by means, Zhang Laodao didn't care, because Tiekan Temple was not short of silver, and Jia's family would transfer the money on time every year.

Especially the mouths of these little nuns are really sweet, as if they don't want money, they coax these little Taoist priests into confusion, and sometimes the little Taoist priests will hint that the layman staying overnight is generous.

What they don't know is that these lay Buddhists are not attracted by the two steamed buns. Of course, after a long time, they will naturally know that it is a prostitution, prostitution, and den hanging from a nunnery.

However, when those little nuns coaxed these little Taoist priests to have a taste, these little Taoist priests were immediately subdued, and in order to taste more sweetness, they would work hard to help them find rich pilgrims.

Therefore, the sisters-in-law of the Mantou Nunnery, although they wear Taoist robes every day but do not recite scriptures, and are dressed up to show off, but the nunnery is very rich.

When Jia Lian heard this, he said angrily: "Performing Zhou Gong's ceremony in the Buddhist land, these people have no taboos, are they really not afraid of offending the Buddha and causing retribution?"

"Also, if these people are like this, it's enough for a day or two. After a long time, the paper can't cover the fire, and the family members of those people don't care?"

Jia Zhen was also a little unnatural at the moment, and after a while, said: "There are many women in the back house who know the filth over there, but they usually pretend that they don't know."

Jia Lian said strangely: "It is said that when a nun enters the house, the house is restless. If a nun does such a thing, I am afraid that it will cause bad luck and anger the Buddha. At that time, it may implicate her children. Those women can tolerate it." gone?"

Jia Zhen sighed in her heart, her cousin was still too young, so she simply explained: First of all, the old nun Jingxu is said to have a backer, and no one has investigated her specific origin until now.

However, anyone who took revenge on old nun Jingxu because of her husband would have an accident soon, and it wasn't her alone, but the entire natal family.

Moreover, although this old nun Jingxu is greedy for money, as long as she promises to do things, keep the beautiful things that can be done for you after collecting the money, and arrange lawsuits, these are trivial things in her opinion. You can see how tough her background is.

In addition, there is a very capable elder in their nunnery, who is very good at some crooked things. Many women in the back house in the capital have asked this person to help.

As long as you can afford the money, no matter who you want to ask for a child or whoever you want to have a silent abortion, that person can easily satisfy you. It's too late to help cover up the nunnery.

I didn't think about asking who this elder was before, but now that I think about it, it must be Jia Baoyu's godmother Ma Daopo. The one who cursed my brother today should be this Ma Daopo.

When Jia Lian heard this, he probably understood that Jia Zhen must have tasted it before, otherwise how could he know so clearly?

Jia Zhen was stimulated by his knowing gaze, and after explaining that it was a stupid thing she did ignorantly before, she turned her head and vented her anger at her son and nephew.

Jia Rong and Jia Qiang knew that they had suffered a catastrophe, but they didn't dare to say anything. They didn't do less about the absurd things before.

Jia Zhen said angrily: "You two don't put on airs here, tell me quickly, how do you know so clearly?"

The two dared not hide it. As the elder brother, Jia Rong could only bite the bullet and confess first: "Isn't this why our Jia family has to go to Tiekan Temple to hold a funeral ceremony every year?"

"Uncle Baoyu has a very good relationship with Jingxu old nun's young apprentice, Zhi'er, so we two brothers followed suit to gain some advantage, but we don't have much money, and those little nuns don't care about what we have in our pockets. We can take a look at things, but we can’t handle them.”

Jia Qiang also said at this time: "Those aunts, they are all dirty, even if they let me do it, I would feel disgusted."

"It's just that I found out that old nun Jingxu is not only doing business as a bustard, but also colluding with human traffickers, buying a lot of little maids and raising them in a secluded place for training and education."

"Actually, those little nuns who sell or prostitute are all abducted. They just know how to seduce men and make men try those thrills after being trained and educated."

"The ones that are really beautiful are directly transferred and taught to the dignitaries. After all, clean ones are valuable, but in my opinion they are still dirty."

"However, there is a place for them to tune and teach those little actors with good voices and figures to be actors. I know a senior officer there."

"I talked to her and thought she should be abducted by a girl from a good family, and I promised her that if there is a chance, I will find a way to pull her out of this trap."

Speaking of this, Jia Qiang felt a little bit bitter, he himself was really powerless, and he didn't have any money in his pocket, so he knew that the hope of rescuing the elder was very slim.

Today, it took a lot of courage for him to say this, he knew that if his uncle was willing to act, the senior official would be saved, but eighty or nine times out of ten, uncle would not be willing to work hard for a small actor .

Jia Zhen didn't refuse as directly as Jia Qiang thought, although he really didn't think a little actor was worth the trouble, but he really felt sorry for his nephew, so he said: "If you like it, you can buy it and be a maid." Also makes."
