Turbulent Times Chapter 831: Strike

The mountain gate of Jingyang Temple was suddenly engaged in battle, and in the blink of an eye, fifty monks and soldiers would rush out and be defeated, causing them to retreat to the temple in a hurry.

There may be innocent people who are kept in the dark among the ordinary monks. There is absolutely no reason to wrong the monks and soldiers, and there is no time for the monks to react. Fifty blue-clothed guards also rushed to the monastery on the top of the mountain...

"What a quiet place of Buddhism!" Wang Junlin sneered coldly as he saw the monks and soldiers in the mountain gate being defeated. Glancing at Zhang Tianqiao, he got off his horse, held the Dragon Sparrow Saber, and led the people into Jingyang Temple regardless of the corpse of Li Dongyang lying down at his feet.

After the action here, according to the deployment, Shen Guang led half of the other 300 blue guards to continue to surround and block Jingyang Temple outside to prevent any fish from slipping through. The other half of the blue guards jointly attacked from the other three directions. In the temple, make sure that Chen Yin and others hiding in Jingyang Temple will not slip through the net.

Zhang Tianqiao's face was pale, and he still hasn't figured out the situation.

Since the Southern and Northern Dynasties, most emperors and dignitaries have believed in Buddhism, which has made Buddhism flourish in all dynasties.

The monastery has the privilege of exempting the land tax from the land tax. Naturally, some people in the local area send their fields and bodies to the name of the monastery to avoid the tax and land tax, and the monastery itself enjoys a lot of benefits from it. Over time, the monastery also occupied a large amount of land, and the number of black households (monks and nuns) became larger and larger, and they also did business in collecting rent, lending, and pawning pawns. monastery power.

It is normal for a monastery to raise monks and soldiers. If the people do not raise officials, they will not be punished. It is the same as Ding Wufu, the supporter of a powerful family and a wealthy family, guarding the house and guarding the courtyard.

Seeing the fleeing monks in front of the mountain gate shouting for father and mother, and the merciless massacre of the monks and soldiers behind the mountain gate, Zhang Tianqiao was dumbfounded. He didn't know what Wang Junlin wanted to do, so that the Lanyiwei mansion would be opened wide. Killing ring, and he also understood that Wang Junlin's visit to Jingyang Temple today seemed to be entirely for this killing.

"Buddhism is a quiet place, I'm afraid it will be difficult to deal with today's affairs?" Zhang Tianqiao hesitated for a moment, then whispered to Wang Junlin.

"Master Zhang thinks how to deal with it?" Wang Junlin asked Zhang Tianqiao with a glance.

"What if we can't find any evidence of collusion with the remnants of the Chen Dynasty?" Zhang Tianqiao asked in a low voice.

Wang Junlin smiled slightly, and said, "Master Zhang, think about what I have done, have you ever failed to do it?"

Zhang Tianqiao was stunned, thinking about Wang Junlin's illustrious deeds, and thought that Jingyang Temple was indeed suspected of colluding with the remnants of the Chen Dynasty. "If you can't find any evidence of crime, how do you deal with it?"

Wang Junlin has already answered Zhang Tianqiao's question lazily, so he will catch Chen Yin and hand it over to Nie Xiaoyu to 'handle' it later, and then hand it over to the Ministry of Criminal Justice to take charge of the case.

However, having said that, Nanhua will use Jingyang Temple as its most important secret base in Guanzhong, and it is indeed well concealed. Not to mention that the local people are unaware, people in the capital often come here to offer incense and worship Buddha The dignitaries have been close at hand for many years, and they have not noticed anything unusual about Jingyang Temple. Court officials like Su Wei and Zhang Tianqiao are even believers of Jingyang Temple, and they have a good personal relationship with Monk Li Dongyang.

There are many Ziyi households under the name of Jingyang Temple, there are two to three thousand people. In fact, most of these people are nearby farmers who sent households to escape the tax and land tax under the name of Jingyang Temple. In addition, Jingyang Temple is located in three North of Yangshan directly owns a large amount of land and employs a large number of tenant farmers to cultivate it. There are actually not many monks who eat vegetarian food in the mountain gate, only a hundred or so, and there are nearly a hundred monks and soldiers. And the South China Association actually has a lot of masters in the capital, but for some reason, apart from the twelve confidant guards brought by Chen Yin from Jiangnan, none of the masters of the South China Association in the capital are here.

The height difference of Sanyang Mountain is about fifty feet. Jingyang Temple is built next to the mountain, and the mountain gate is set at the foot of Beilu Mountain. The Lanyiwei Mansion suddenly launched an offensive from the Beilu Mountain Gate before dusk. Take Jingyang Temple completely before dark.

The area around Jingyang Temple has beautiful mountains and clear waters, and there are quite a few other courtyard manors of high-ranking officials and dignitaries. Across a valley next to it is a manor of the Yuan family. After the situation, he rode over under the protection of a dozen guards and questioned Wang Junlin: "Qin Angong suddenly led people to kill Buddhists quietly. Do you really think that you can do whatever you want in the Sui Dynasty?"

Since the beginning of the year, Wang Junlin has taken advantage of the relocation of the capital to injure the nobles of Guanlong, and Yuanshou was dismissed from office and removed from his title because he sent Yuan family guards and aides to participate in the assassination of the emperor. The nobles of Guanlong used all sorts of operations to take it from the Lanyiwei Mansion and put it in the prison of Dali Temple. It is said that life is very good.

According to the will of the emperor at that time, Yuan Min was the eldest son of Yuanshou and inherited the title of Yuanshou. Jun Lin didn't see Yuan Min at all.

At this time, Wang Junlin squinted at Yuan Min, and faced Yuan Min's self-righteous questioning, Wang Junlin said calmly: "Jingyang Temple hides weapons and raises monks and soldiers. Master Zhang and I suspect that there is something wrong with Jingyang Temple." There is a suspicion of collaborating with bandits and treason. If it is found that Jingyang Temple is suspected of collaborating with bandits, I must visit the Yuan family. The Yuan family’s other courtyard has lived adjacent to Jingyang Temple for more than ten years. Didn't notice it at all?"

"You..." Yuan Min didn't expect to bite Wang Junlin back when he came here, but he couldn't refute. After the monks in Jingyang Temple were accused of treason and collusion against thieves, I think many people in the court need an explanation from Mr. Qin An!"

The Blue Yiwei Mansion is in full swing, and Wang Junlin is even more famous for his viciousness. Yuan Min knows that if he uses his tongue in front of Wang Junlin, he will not get good results.

Zhang Tianqiao really wanted to explain to Yuan Min that the invasion of the Jingyang Temple gate had nothing to do with him, and that he met Wang Junlin purely by chance. Guilty, anyway, this trip was caused by Wang Junlin's death, and he felt resentful, but he was so stuffy in his heart that he didn't dare to speak out.

"It's time to go up the mountain to look for evidence," Wang Junlin said to Zhang Tianqiao, and then asked Yuan Min: "If Master Yuan doesn't mind, you might as well go up the mountain with me to search for evidence of treason and collusion with rebels by the monks in Jingyang Temple! "

Yuan Min heard Wang Junlin say this, and he was also half-pissed off, but he didn't dare to confront him face to face, he wanted to find no evidence of the crime, and see how Wang Junlin handles this matter!

Wang Junlin was about to enter the mountain gate, when Shen Guang, who was half-stained with blood on his armor, hurried down the mountain, whispered to Wang Junlin's ear, and said, "I found my wife in the monastery on the top of the mountain..."
