Chapter 572: The Strange Case of Huangze Temple

"The ......"

Song Xue'er was in a hurry, and thought of a strange case that happened recently in Lizhou City, and said: "The slave family is not for their own grievances, but for the people of Lizhou City. ”

Cui Xiufang has been in the rivers and lakes for many years, and when she observes her words and looks, she knows that this girl is not telling the truth, and she said in a weird manner: "It sounds like a strange woman who asks for her life for the people." But...... What exactly are you? How does it look like a woman from a good family? ”

In these years, women are not allowed to show their heads, but they must conform to their own identity. If it is a woman who is running for a living all day long, and goes out alone, no one will gossip. But like Song Xue'er, who is beautiful and dressed extraordinarily, but doesn't bring any followers, I'm afraid she has to be a Qing~Lou woman.

Cui Xiufang's words were poking at Song Xue'er's sore spot, her face changed slightly, and she said: "The slave family is here to visit Cui to redress their grievances, I don't know what your identity is this little lady?" ”

Although the relationship between Cui Xiufang and Cui Geng has become an open secret. However, after all, the same surname is not married, and in public, she can't admit it, and said: "I am Cui Cha's personal maid." ”

Song Xue'er was slightly picky, and said unhurriedly: "Oh...... Maid...... No matter how close this maid is, she is also a maid, isn't she? What the concubine wants to say is a big case where human life is at stake, you can't be the master of Cui Cha's visit, right? ”

"You...... Well, you wait! ”

In terms of teasing, Cui Xiufang is not the opponent of Song Xueer, the first prostitute in Chengdu, turned around and returned to the sedan chair, stretched out her slender jade hand, and twisted it towards Cui Geng's waist.

"Good things you did!"

"What's wrong with me?" Cui Gengqiang endured the severe pain and lowered his voice.

"Don't talk nonsense, what is your relationship with this unserious woman?"

"Her name is Song Xue'er......"

Cui Geng briefly explained Song Xue'er's origin and suspicious position, and finally said: "This girl is strange, I'm afraid it's a trap set up for me by Yao Shou!" ”

Cui Xiufang was worried about Cui Geng, and she couldn't care about being jealous, and said: "As soon as I arrived in Guangyuan, I met this fox spirit, you say, will Yao Shou collude with Li Xiu?" ”

"Quite possibly." Cui Geng groaned: "However, don't worry too much. After Xu Jingye's rebellion, the imperial court strengthened its control over the armies in various places. Even if Yao Shou had different intentions, it was impossible to directly lead the 200,000 elite soldiers in Shuzhong to rebel. At most, he can only give convenience when Li Xiu rebels. ”

"So what are we going to do?"

Cui Geng smiled and said, "We came to Lizhou to startle the snake." Since people have taken the initiative to make a move, how can we refuse it? ”

Cui Xiufang glanced at him and said, "It's high-sounding, I hope someone is not blind!" ”

The two of them had decided to discuss and ordered someone to bring Song Xue'er to the Lizhou Mansion.

Lizhou Assassin Shi Lei Wannian, although he also lived in the fourth grade, he was very respectful to Cui Geng, the visiting envoy of Jiannan Province, and called him "Shangguan", and happily let the main hall of the government and let him try the case in court.

As for Lei Wannian himself, he accompanied Cui Geng on his right side.

"Might~~"

Amidst the shouts of the officials, Song Xue'er walked into the lobby with light lotus steps.

Syllable!

Cui Geng was shocked and said straight to the point: "Little lady Song, you said that you want to avenge the people of Lizhou City, what is going on?" ”

"This matter started half a year ago, Huangze Temple ......"

"Shut up!" As soon as Lei Wannian heard the three words "Huangze Character", he immediately shouted and said, "The case of Huangze Temple, how can you be reconciled by a woman's family?" ”

"Huh?" As soon as Cui Geng heard this, he knew that there was something going on, and said in a deep voice: "Let her continue!" ”

Lei Wannian smiled bitterly: "No...... This is not that the subordinate officials have any selfish intentions. It's that this matter is too tricky, and Xia Guan believes that you won't want to know about Cui Cha's visit. ”

Cui Geng said firmly: "Tricky? Since he became an official, he has encountered many difficult cases. Just let her speak! ”

"Well, since Cui Chawan insisted on listening, the lower officials didn't dare to stop him. However, can we go to the second hall to speak? There are a lot of people here, and it's really not very convenient. ”

"That's fine."

When they arrived in the second hall, they screened the maids and servants who were waiting, and there were only four people left in the room: Cui Geng, Cui Xiufang, Lei Wannian and Song Xue'er.

Then, without waiting for Song Xueer to speak, Lei Wannian took the initiative to give a detailed introduction to the case.

Ten years ago, Wu Zetian allocated 600,000 yuan of "fat powder money" to overhaul Huangze Temple. In fact, this temple did not come out of thin air, on the original site of the current Huangze Temple, there was a temple, called "Sichuan Main Temple".

However, although the main temple of Sichuan is called a temple, it is not the Buddha who is enshrined in it, but Li Bing and his son who dug Dujiangyan.

Therefore, the temple of this Sichuan main temple is actually neither a monk nor a Taoist, but a person like a witch and a god.

Now, the Huangze Temple is completed, and these people will definitely not be used anymore, Wu Ze Tianxia edict, please 300 famous monks in the world, stay in the Huangze Temple.

For ten years, Huangze Temple has been safe and sound.

But just half a year ago, Zhijie, the host of Huangze Temple, suddenly announced that he would hold a extraordinarily large ~ ceremony to pray for Her Majesty the Empress, and the mountain gate was specially sealed for a month, and no pilgrims were accepted.

A month later, the gates of Huangze Temple are still closed. Two months have passed, and the mountain gate has not yet opened......

That's when people realize that something is wrong. Although there is a water source in Huangze Temple, the food will definitely not be able to support it for so long!

So, Lei Wannian personally ordered people to climb over the wall.

The final result almost scared the sergeant who climbed over the wall to death - all the monks in Huangze Temple were in a different place!

Carefully counted, the property in the temple is not short, and the host of Huangze Temple, Zhijie, is nowhere to be found.

Three hundred lives were taken out at once, and there are still high-ranking monks. It is said that the Lizhou government should carefully investigate the case, and even report it to the criminal department, and mobilize capable forces to investigate it thoroughly.

However, the location where this case occurred is too sensitive.

You must know that although there are many temples in the world that worship the "Pure Light Heavenly Maiden", the temple that directly worships Wu Zetian is the only one, and there is no other semicolon.

In other words, Huangze Temple is Wu Zetian's ancestral hall.

If the ancestral hall of the Great Zhou Tianzi is not protected, what responsibility does the magistrate have to bear? If Her Majesty the Empress is angry and sends a cool official to investigate the case thoroughly, will everyone be able to bear it?

What's more, Wu Zetian is not an ordinary emperor, she has always claimed to be a god. Now the question is, since you are a god, why can't you even keep your own temple? How dare Lei Wannian touch Her Majesty's moldy head?

So, he gave a gag order and kept the matter a secret.

However, it is easy to suppress the case of Huangze Temple's sudden death, but it is difficult to deal with the aftermath. The simplest, there must always be a monk in this temple, right?

In the end, the officials in Lizhou, led by Lei Wannian, found 300 people in Lizhou who were familiar with Buddhism and forcibly shaved their degrees.

In fact, in this era, being a monk does not have to pay taxes, which is a good thing for many poor people.

However, not many of the poor are literate, and the threshold for "a little knowledge of Buddhism" is too high, and there are still many people who are reluctant to make up for 300 people.

Lei Wannian finally said: "Little lady Song, do you want to avenge those who were forced to be monks?" In fact, as long as they support Ben Thorn History for a few years, and when Ben Thorn Shi finds a suitable candidate, they can make them vulgar, so there is no need to trouble Cui to visit, right? ”

Song Xue'er said: "What about the three hundred lives in Huangze Temple?" ”

"Uh......" Lei Wannian glanced at Cui Geng cautiously, and said: "These monks don't do anything to produce, what they eat and wear, all they use are people's fat and people's ointment, and if they die, they will die." Besides, in hindsight, Zhijie, the host of Huangze Temple, must have nothing to do with this case. This is a dog-eat-dog between their monks, so we laypeople don't have to mix with each other, right? ”

Lei Wannian said this, of course, there are some strong words. However, Cui Geng didn't want to block Wu Zetian, as long as there was a similar reason, he didn't bother to dig into it.

Cui Geng nodded and said, "Whether or not to thoroughly investigate the case of Huangze Temple can be considered in the long run." However, this official is very strange......"

"What's weird?"

Cui Geng looked at Song Xue'er and said, "Lei Thorn History has made such a big move, even if he tries his best to hide it, it is inevitable that the news will leak." However, you little lady Song is far away in Chengdu, you shouldn't know! ”
