(The first update, and maybe the second one, but wait until tomorrow morning!) Ask for a red ticket)

When Cihai was dying, he didn't think about why he died, and his lifeless body collapsed in a pool of blood, and the Buddhist robe was also stained red with blood.

At first, the onlookers gathered around to make a commotion, agitating the monks to stop the Jiangdong Left Army from forcibly breaking through the mountain gate, and even picked up bricks and stones and threw them. When the guards in front of the mountain gate drew out their swords, they scattered in a hurry, not daring to make trouble in front of the reunion, for fear of causing trouble.

The monks in the monastery thought that no matter how rampant and violent the Jiangdong Left Army was, they would not dare to draw their swords and kill their families in front of everyone, so dozens of people sat cross-legged in front of the mountain gate, trying to prevent the Jiangdong Left Army from breaking through the mountain gate with their flesh and blood. Where would have you thought that in the blink of an eye, the abbot would stab Lin Jian to death, and nearly six hundred soldiers in front of the mountain gate drew out swords and soldiers to attack the mountain gate.

The monks in front of the mountain gate were caught off guard and at a loss - some monks were arrested when they heard the sound, and some monks were violent and wanted to rush over to avenge the abbot, Ao Canghai of course mercilessly ordered the soldiers to kill them with swords; The other monks were frightened when they saw the Jiangdong Left Army trying to show up and kill the monks indiscriminately, and they got up and fled to the mountain gate in a panic - Ao Canghai led his guards to follow closely and attacked it.

The Jiangdong Left Army gathered in front of the mountain gate to make trouble, and wanted to forcibly break into the mountain gate and borrow the temple to camp, and Cihai, who thought that he had not shown the slightest flaw, did not think of anything else, and thought that the Jiangdong Left Army was just taking this opportunity to extort money from the temple - in addition to inciting the believers and monks to make a ruckus to prevent the Jiangdong Left Army from forcibly breaking through the mountain gate, Cihai also hid one hundred and forty or fifty monks and soldiers in the mountain gate at the northern foot of Zilang Mountain to prevent the situation from getting out of control.

The more than 100 monks and soldiers hiding in the mountain gate also broke off, and they didn't expect the abbot Cihai to stab Lin Jian to death in a few words. This change was so sudden and without warning that it was not until Ao Canghai led the first battalion of the Jiangdong Left Army to break into the mountain gate that they thought of rushing out to resist.

Cihai didn't expect that Lin Tie was so arranged to slaughter the temple, although he hid the monks behind the mountain gate just in case, but he was also afraid that it would be difficult to clean up the horses' feet, so he only let the monks carry the ring knife and Buddha stick. Not to mention wearing armor, there are not even a few heavy weapons - although these more than 100 monks and soldiers are secretly elite, the armor is unfavorable, and they use less to cover more, how can they be the opponents of the elite soldiers of the first battalion of the Jiangdong Left Army?

The mountain gate suddenly engaged, Mo knife hands, bayonet, sword and shield hands attacked from the mountain gate, and the crossbowmen climbed the courtyard wall to shoot and kill, as if it was the blink of an eye, and more than 100 monks and soldiers poured out were killed, so that they hurriedly retreated to the temple.

The first battalion of soldiers entered the mountain gate and immediately divided into three teams, led by the sentinel generals, and killed the Zen Monastery on the top of the mountain and the Nanshan Gate near the river respectively......

"What a quiet place for Buddhism!" Lin Jian watched the monks and soldiers in the mountain gate be killed, and sneered coldly. After glancing at Wu Meijiu, he turned over and dismounted, untied the saber from his waist, held it in his hand, and ignored the corpse of the monk Cihai who was lying at his feet, standing in the empty field in front of the mountain gate to supervise the battle, and the more than 100 guards who returned with him from Chongzhou City spread out their guard.

After starting here, according to the deployment, Ning Zechen led the fourth battalion of soldiers from the eastern foot of Zilang Mountain to break through the courtyard wall of Guangjiao Temple at the foot of the mountain, climbed the mountain from the east foot of the stone path to the top of the mountain Zen Temple, Zhao Qingshan led the fifth battalion of soldiers to block the northwest foot of Zilang Mountain, Cao Ziang led the third battalion of soldiers to block the south of Zilang from the river by boat, and monitored the movement of the water camp in Ninghai Town, the military mountain village, to ensure that all the monks in the Guangjiao Temple were completely annihilated.

Wu Meijiu's face was pale, and he still hadn't figured out the situation.

The twelve dynasties of the Great Yue calendar came to Chongguan Emperor, but there were four emperors who believed in Buddhism, making Buddhism prosperous in the Central Plains.

The monastery has the privilege of exempting the land from the tax, and naturally some people in the local area send the land and people to the monastery in the name of the monastery to evade the tax and the field 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 households (monks and nuns) became larger and larger, and the business of collecting rents and loans, collecting and collecting pawns, was actually no different from the local township tyrants, forming a monastic power that should not be underestimated.

It is the norm for monasteries to raise monks and soldiers, and if the people do not raise officials and do not hold them accountable, it is the same as Ding Wufu, the breadwinner of the township tyrants, who guards the family and protects the hospital, and cannot be charged with a crime of conspiracy and rebellion.

Looking at the escape of the monks in front of the mountain gate shouting their father and mother, and the merciless slaughter of the monks and soldiers behind the mountain gate, not to mention Wu Meijiu, Li Shutang and Li Shuyi, who don't know the inside story, are also dumbfounded, and they don't know what Lin Tie is for, so that the Jiangdong Left Army will kill - today's Jiangdong Left Army landed at the mouth of the river at the eastern foot of Zilang Mountain is completely for this killing.

"Buddhism is a quiet place, I'm afraid today's things are not easy to clean up, right?" Li Shuyi hesitated for a moment, and whispered to Lin Lian.

"How do you say you're going to clean up?" Lin Jian glanced at Li Shuyi and asked.

"What if I can't find evidence of the bandits?" Li Shuyi asked in a low voice, "Did the adults prepare in advance?" ”

Lin Jian smiled lightly at the corner of his mouth, and saw that Wu Meijiu pricked up his ears to listen to the conversation here, and said: "The Donghai Kou invaded Chongzhou, and the four thousand Kou were scattered on the south river of Zilang Mountain. ”

Wu Meijiu's heart was cold, so it was said that Guangjiao Temple was indeed suspected of being a bandit, but it was difficult to say that the Haikou was sailing on the sea, and there were really some people who were very taboo about blasphemy, and he asked weakly: "If you can't find evidence of the crime, how can you clean it up?" ”

Lin Jian didn't answer Wu Meijiu's question, he took the scabbard and flicked the corpse of Monk Cihai, and saw that he was still holding eyes like copper bells at this time, as if he was dead, he sneered in his heart, and said secretly: I'm afraid that Cihai still thinks that he has hidden it well, and has not revealed any flaws.

Indeed, the luxury family used the Guangjiao Temple as its most important secret stronghold and transit station in the Jiangkou, which was indeed well concealed, not to mention that Chongzhou County was unaware, and the garrison of Ninghai Town in the Junshan Fortress was close at hand for many years, and no abnormalities of the Guangjiao Temple were found, and the generals of the Ninghai Town Garrison Mountain such as Chen Qianhu and Xiao Baiming were even believers in the Guangjiao Temple, and the personal relationship with the Cihai monk was quite good.

It's a pity that Cihai wanted to win over Xiao Taoyuan and other Ninghai Town Water Camp generals for the luxury family, and he didn't have any precautions at all to have a pair of eyes that often stared at Chongzhou, Junshan, and Zilang Mountain in his dreams.

In order to prevent Xiao Taoyuan from being unfavorable to the family of the Chongzhou boy case, Lin Lian, Fu Qinghe, and Qin Chengzu sent special personnel to lurk in Chongzhou for a long time, monitoring the area of Zilang Mountain and Junshan for nearly two years. In this world, I have never been afraid of thieves stealing, but I am afraid of thieves, no matter how secret the contact between Cihai and Donghai Kou is, no matter how clean the hands and feet are, there are countless flaws for Lin Tie to see.

*******

There are a lot of households under the name of Guangjiao Temple, there are two or three thousand people, most of these people are actually the nearby peasant households who are sent to escape the tax under the name of Guangjiao Temple, in addition, Guangjiao Temple directly occupies a large amount of land in the north of Zilang Mountain, and employs a large number of tenant farmers to cultivate, and there are actually not many monks who want to eat fast in the mountain gate, only 100 people, and there are 256 monks and soldiers.

Zilang Mountain is about 334 zhang tall and short, Guangjiao Temple is built according to the mountain, the mountain gate is located at the foot of the north foot of the mountain, the Jiangdong Left Army suddenly launched an offensive from the north foot mountain gate before dusk, and completely took the Guangjiao Temple before dark.

The military mountain village that was only one or two miles apart reacted after the Jiangdong Left Army completely occupied Zilang Mountain, and Xiao Baiming, the military village supervisor, came over by boat and asked Lin Bin: What is the reason for suddenly using troops against Zilang Mountain without saying hello?

In addition to hearing Xiao Baiming's voice on the pirate ship, Xiao Baiming also visited him in Jiyang. It's just that that visit made Xiao Baiming not so pleasant, and Lin Jian didn't see him at all; However, Gu Wuchen still quite wooed Xiao Taoyuan and other generals of the water camp in Ninghai Town.

Lin Lian squinted at Xiao Baiming, this Xiao Baiming was also from a high background, tried and failed, took refuge in Xiao Taoyuan, and mixed into the position of the military cottage supervisor, he is thirty-three years old this year, with a narrow face, sparse eyebrows, and a little feminine, and Xiao Taoyuan was regarded as the most important adviser and recommended an official position.

If Xiao Taoyuan hadn't regarded the military cottage as a last resort, he would not have sent Xiao Baiming over to take charge.

In the face of Xiao Baiming's questioning, Lin Jian said with a flat expression: "Guangjiao Temple hides weapons, raises monks and soldiers, the East China Sea pirate Kou Chongzhou, Guangjiao Temple is close at hand but unharmed, Lord Wu and I suspect that Guangjiao Temple is suspected of conspiracy and rebellion - if it is confirmed that Guangjiao Temple is suspected of being a bandit, this official is indispensable to Shenninghai Town." Ninghai Town has built a military cottage, adjacent to Guangjiao Temple and lived for several years, Xiao Dujian really didn't notice it at all? ”

"You ......" Xiao Baiming didn't bite Lin Jian back as soon as he came ashore, but he couldn't refute it, knocked out his teeth and swallowed his stomach, and said in a muffled voice, "Lord Lin has taught a very good lesson, after Lord Lin is convicted of the crime of banditry among the monks of Guangjiao Temple, the captain of my family will give Lord Lin an explanation!" ”

The Jiangdong Left Army is in full swing, and Lin Lian is also prestigious, Xiao Baiming knows that there will be no good fruit to eat if he takes advantage of his tongue in front of Lin Bin. In just seven or eight months, Lin Lian's reputation has spread far and wide, and he is the actual power, and he is not half a point worse than Xiao Tao, the captain of his family.

Although they have 800 elite sailors in Junshui Village, they can basically ensure that they are loyal to the Xiao family, but they are qualified to compete with Lin Jian in Chongzhou? In addition to the 3,000 elites of the Jiangdong Left Army who returned directly from Jinhai, Xiao Baiming had a little bit of the weapons hidden on Xisha Island, at least the 8,000 Donghai Kou in Chongzhou did not dare to directly invade Xisha Island.

Wu Meijiu really wanted to explain to Xiao Baiming that this invasion of the mountain gate had nothing to do with him, it was completely Lin Lian's insistence, forget it, it was really a mistake, and he also escaped responsibility, anyway, this trip was to kill Lin Lian, and he was resentful, but he kept silent in his heart.

"It's time to go up the mountain to look for evidence," Lin Jian said to Wu Meijiu, and asked Xiao Baiming again, "If Xiao Dujian doesn't mind, you might as well go up the mountain with me to search for evidence of the monks and bandits of Guangjiao Temple!" ”

Xiao Baiming was also half angry when he heard Lin Lian say this, but he didn't dare to confront him face to face, wanting to find no evidence of the crime and see how Lin Lian was good at this matter!

Lin Jian was about to enter the mountain gate, Ao Canghai, who was stained with blood on half of his clothes, hurriedly came down the mountain, attached it to Lin Bin's ear, and said: "In the Zen Monastery on the top of the mountain, there are two unexpected people who caught us ......."
