It wasn't until the sun was in the west that Su Jin limped out of Daming Temple by Wang Dynasty Ma Han and others, and when he passed by the archway in front of the temple, he saw Feng Laohu's men leaning against the wall to bask in the sun, and the Shanxiang host didn't know how to settle them properly, Su Jin didn't bother to care, it was nothing more than to take Feng Laohu to pass the word, and asked these people to wait with peace of mind.

Su Jin was very uneasy, he could delay it for a while, to talk about how to delay tonight, at night, these people would definitely not wait here obediently, if they rushed to the temple to rescue Feng Laohu, it would be a big trouble.

Su Jin stretched out his hand to greet Zhang Long, and said in his ear: "You hurry down the mountain, go to the prefect's yamen to find the prefect of Song, and order him to send five hundred soldiers here to take down all these people, and tell the prefect of Song, don't ask why, 100,000 are in a hurry, and everything will be over if it's late." ”

Zhang Long saw that Su Jin said solemnly, and hurriedly twisted his ass and ran down the mountain, he ran this time, attracting the pilgrims who came down the mountain in twos and threes around him to look sideways, Su Jin stomped his feet in a hurry, and he didn't have time to stop it, so he quickly turned his face, lowered his head and urged Wang Mahan to help him go down the mountain, until he bypassed the mountain wall and got out of the sight of Feng Laohu's gang, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

"This kid, before he finished his words, he ran in a hurry, and almost taught the gang to recognize us."

"Isn't it, a few people out there are looking this way, wondering if they recognize us? Those few have been photographed in Beikou Sanli Hutong, I remember them. Wang Dynasty said.

Su Jin was shocked and said: "Without further ado, hurry down the mountain, you can't delay, you know them, they will definitely know us." ”

Su Jin couldn't care about the pain in his body, shook off Wang Dynasty and Ma Han, and the two of them ran quickly down the mountain, and the three of them could not be submerged in the corner, and several figures appeared on the mountain wall behind them.

"Senior Brother Wuneng, do you see clearly? Those were the officers and soldiers who went to Beikou Sanli to make trouble that day? A thug said.

"Nonsense, when do my eyes miss people? The two stout men stood in the head that day, and they helped shout trumpets when their horses pulled our iron fences. It was Feng Laohu's eldest disciple Xin Wuneng who spoke.

"Yes, yes, I also remembered what the senior brother said, and then the bird envoy entered the Fugui Building, and these two boys followed in, and they were invited to the side room to eat a large table of snacks."

"Do you remember? Is that them? ”

"That's right, I can't run."

"What are they doing here? The thin little one in the middle didn't see his face, and he didn't know if it was the bird envoy. ”

"Eighty percent of them also come to the temple to burn incense?"

Xin Wuneng said: "Do you burn incense?" I'm afraid that it may not be, the master came here to worship the Buddha, and these boys also came, I am afraid that they want to be unfavorable to the master. ”

"It's not good for the tiger master? Just a few of them? Senior brother, let's laugh, the master can beat them twenty by one, I see that the thin man is limping, I'm afraid that the master will be beaten by the master. ”

Xin Wuneng groaned: "I can't say, it stands to reason that the master will not turn his face with him, unless these boys provoke the master, I really want to catch these boys to ask, why there is no shadow in the blink of an eye." ”

"Senior brother, it's important to protect the master, what kind of method does the master do in the temple, the old monk said, I'm afraid it will take a while to come out, if we are extraneous and really taken advantage of, then it will be a big trouble, there are so many enemies of the master, which year there are no people who are not afraid of death to kill their lives, let's live in peace."

Xin Wuneng nodded and said: "What I said is that the master has explained, when he goes out, just protect him is considered a great achievement, and these guys may really come to burn incense, on the eighth day of the lunar month, the people can burn incense, and the officials can naturally burn incense and worship the Buddha." ”

A few people muttered as they turned around, looking at the temple gate without mentioning it.

……

At dusk, Su Jin and others returned to Yangzhou City, as soon as they entered the North City Gate, they saw a large group of people along the North Street was about to go out of the city, and it was Song Zhen who led the troops.

Su Jin hurriedly caught up and pulled Song Zhen aside to say everything he saw and heard, Song Zhen stomped his feet and said: "Special Envoy Su, when I found the grain or conclusive evidence, just eavesdropping on these is not evidence, how to take people?" ”

Su Jin said: "What evidence do you need now, let's take it first, otherwise once he gets out of trouble, we will be passive, don't you forget that he is a devil with hundreds of lives on hand, and his five or six hundred disciples, once there is a rebellion, how are you going to calm it?" ”

Song Zhen said: "If he wants to make a rebellion, the government will send troops to suppress it, which is called a matter of course, but now like this, if there is no conclusive evidence to accuse him, it will be easy to arrest, and it will be difficult to release him." ”

Su Jin smacked his lips and said: "My prefect, why do you admit death like this, I will go back to collect the evidence, I already have some eyebrows, if you don't take him down now, once he gets out of trouble, those subordinate officials who control you will not stop doing anything will rise up and make trouble, I don't know how you died." ”

Song Zhen hesitated, Su Jinqi kicked a pile of fallen leaves on the side of the road and said: "I tried my best to eavesdrop, almost even took my life, you are still hesitating here, if you don't go, I will immediately beat the horse and leave, what do you have to do with me in a mess of porridge in Yangzhou?" No matter how your subordinates collude with him, no matter how much famine they make in the future, what does it have to do with the master? How much food is still waiting for me to deal with in the state capitals, I will help you, but you will not help yourself. It's okay, one shot and two scattered, I think you can be the prefect for a few days. "Let's just leave.

Song Zhen hurriedly grabbed and said: "The envoy is angry, isn't this mansion afraid of not complying with the procedure?" If there is no evidence to accuse him, the gang under him has made it clear that they want to coax, so don't they want to let go? It's okay for the government to take it for itself, but you also have to hurry up and find evidence. ”

Su Jin said: "Just tonight, I will definitely give you evidence, you go quickly, the dynasty is blocked at the intersection of the mountain, if you don't go, it will be too late." ”

Song Zhen had no choice but to turn over and get on his horse, and gallop out of the city with the people and horses to Shugang Mountain.

Su Jin didn't go back to the mansion, there were too many eyeliners, so he went directly to the Yuelai Inn in Xicheng, and asked Ma Han and Zhang Long to hurry up and call Zhao Dutou and Pan Jiang to discuss.

After eating something indiscriminately and changing clothes, Pan Jiang and Zhao Dutou had already arrived, Su Jin was not polite, and told what he had seen and heard today, and everyone listened to it with cold air, they couldn't imagine that this Feng Laohu was so powerful, with so many big cases at hand, but he had been living happily in Yangzhou for so many years.

Zhao Dutou opened his mouth and said: "This old thief has a great ability, and he has pulled all the officials in Yangzhou into the water, how to do it, envoy you can say it." ”

Su Jin groaned: "He found out today, so the evidence of the official's confession was not clearly stated, but I speculate that it must be in the hands of that person." ”

Pan Jiang said: "Which person?" Who can call Feng Laohu such trust? ”

Su Jin said: "Maybe Feng Laohu just handed it over to her for safekeeping, and she herself doesn't know what it is, this person is the only woman Feng Laohu expressed his warmth in his confession, that is, the top female official of the Red Shadow Pavilion, Mi Hua Niang, Feng Laohu said at the time that he and Mi Hua Niang are quite compatible, the reason is that Mi Hua Niang is a bit like his mother, so I speculate that since he said that those evidences are not by his side, and these evidences are so important, he will definitely not let them out of his control, Then the only possibility is to put it in the hands of Mi Hua Niang. ”

Pan Jiang nodded and said: "It makes sense, but I have heard of the rice flower girl in the Red Shadow Pavilion, this woman was one of the best red cards in Yangzhou City back then, and this woman has a pungent personality, some dignitaries and nobles spent a lot of money to kiss Fang Ze, but she scolded the dog blood and came back, the reason is just that she can't look down on it, and I don't know how she got together with this Feng Laohu." ”

Su Jin said: "Feng Laohu must have hidden something from her, but now is not the time to discuss these things, do you mean that this rice flower girl has a strange temper and will not cooperate with us, right?" ”

Pan Jiang nodded and said: "This is one of them, and the other is that even if we take the evidence and wipe out all these officials, but there is still no way to get the place where the food is stored, some people have come to woo me in the past few days, knowing that I have been beaten and scolded by the special envoy, and I intend to make friends with me. ”

Su Jindao: "What is food? Compared with this major event, the matter of grain is simply insignificant, digging out this gang of moths is comparable to finding a large granary of 10 million stones, and I don't believe it, the place where the grain is stored will not be found, how can a million stones of grain be so easy to hide, I can dig out three feet of ground. ”

Pan Jiang said: "In this case, the lord will give the order." ”

Su Jin stood up and said calmly: "Tonight is a battle of life and death, we must make all preparations, even if we don't get evidence from Mi Hua Niang, we will use force to rummage through all of Feng Laohu's mansions, and we must find out the evidence, everyone must understand this first, there is absolutely no way out; Therefore, the envoy ordered that Pan Jiang should be reinstated immediately, and your reinstatement documents are in the hands of Song Quan, the son of the Song Governor's Mansion, you immediately go and get the reinstatement documents and lead the remaining 1,500 soldiers to guard the four gates tightly, and not a single bird will fly out, because we can't let them jump over the wall to spread the news that we opened a warehouse to release military rations before, and we can't allow any of them to escape, if necessary, they will be killed! ”
