Song Jia held the window lattice with her hand, looking at the movement in the Zen courtyard outside the house, there was no one in the courtyard, but outside the Zen courtyard were guarded by the soldiers of the Jiangdong Left Army, knowing that in this situation, she and Mingyue could not escape.

Song Jia didn't expect that Lin Jian would attack Guangjiao Temple like a thunderbolt on the day he returned to Chongzhou, which was completely beyond her expectations, but there is no regret medicine in this world that is easy to buy. She also wanted to take Mingyue and pretend to be a pilgrim to go over, and she didn't expect that it was the assassin who assassinated the Luxury Feihu twice who sent Lin Tie to directly lead the troops to attack the mountain gate, and they recognized it in front of the Zen courtyard and immediately imprisoned them alone in this single courtyard.

Seeing that her sister-in-law Hao Mingyue was so frightened that there was no blood on her face, pale and frightened, Song Jia grabbed her hand and comforted: "There's nothing to worry about, is it possible that Lin Jian is afraid that he will eat us in one bite?" Don't worry, I have my own way out! ”

In early February, Song Jia received a letter from home in Jiangning and learned that her mother, so she disguised herself, went to sea by boat, made a detour back to Jin'an, and saw her mother for the last time. Hao Mingyue was also a little homesick, so she went back to Jin'an with Song Jia.

Extravagant Feihu's movements in Jiangning have been strictly restricted, and it is difficult to make great achievements, and he rarely goes out of the house on weekdays, and outsiders cannot notice that the young lady and young lady have suddenly disappeared.

Song Jia could have stayed in Jin'an and waited for the luxury Feihu to return to Jin'an to reunite, but after her mother broke off the seventh, Song Jia decided to sneak back to Jiangning. Luxury Mingyue has a bad relationship with her father Luxury Wenzhuang, her mother died early, and her relationship with several other aunts and siblings is very bad, she still feels that her half-brother Luxury Feihu treats her closely, Song Jia returns to Jiangning, and she will set off from Jin'an together willfully.

When Song Jia and Hao Mingyue arrived at the islands of Changguo County, they were rushing to the East China Sea Kou to plot to invade Chongzhou, so they arrived in Chongzhou by boat with the East China Sea Kou. Due to the invasion of the East China Sea Kou into the estuary, the upper reaches of the Yangtze River were tightly sealed to the water camp of Ninghai Town and the water camp of Jiangning, and Song Jia and Hao Mingyue could only stay in the Guangjiao Temple and wait for the calm waters before diving back to Jiangning by boat.

Unexpectedly, the wind was not calm and the waves were not quiet, and on the first day of Lin Lian's return to Chongzhou, he sent troops to attack Guangjiao Temple like thunder.

Song Jia sat on the chair, even though she was confused in her heart, and she didn't know what kind of emotion prompted her to make the decision to go back to Jiangning, and finally she was trapped in this small Zen courtyard and couldn't get out; The few guards they brought with them were punished and killed by Ao Canghai.

Lin Jian couldn't tolerate the nail of Guangjiao Temple, and Donghai Kou started to slaughter Chongcheng, how could he be merciful to Guangjiao Temple's subordinates? After he met with Qin Chengzu on Changshan Island and learned the details of the robbery in Chongzhou, he made arrangements to attack Zilang Mountain and Guangjiao Temple, and when the fleet arrived in Chongzhou, he did not go to Xisha Island first, but only picked up Fu Qinghe, Hu Zhiyong, Hu Zhicheng, Li Shuyi and others on the ship to understand the situation and arrange the deployment, and landed directly on the east of Zilang Mountain.

Lin Jian just wanted to pull out the nail of Guangjiao Temple, take the Zilang Mountain Monastery as his own, and then force the water camp of Ninghai Town from the military cottage, and completely put the Zilang Mountain, the military cottage and the Guanyintan area under his control.

It can be said that Zilang Mountain, Junshanzhai and Guanyin Beach gather the dangers of Chongzhou or the north bank of the Yangtze River estuary: to defend Chongzhou, you must first guard Zilang Mountain. It was a surprise to catch the wife and sister of the luxury flying tiger, but after thinking about it, these two people are also the objects of a headache, and they are not easy to deal with.

Ao Canghai knew that it was powerful, and he killed all the insiders in the Guangjiao Temple as soon as possible, and the soldiers of the Jiangdong Left Army who first attacked the Zen Temple on the top of the mountain may also leak the news, so he suggested to Lin Jian that this part of the soldiers should be transferred to Changshan Island immediately.

Lin Jian couldn't get out to see Song Jia and Hao Mingyue for a while, he wanted to take Wu Meijiu and Xiao Baiming to see the evidence of the monks and bandits in Guangjiao Temple first, he thought to himself: With Yue Lengqiu as a hindrance, only one impeachment of the enemy who was overlooked and feared, can he force the Ninghai Town Water Division to join the army cottage?

Cihai was initially killed, and then the Jiangdong Left Army soldiers forcibly broke into the mountain gate and stormed the mountaintop Monastery in one go, and many of the evidence of the crime could not be covered up, including more than 30 Donghai Kou who were seriously injured after attacking Chongzhou and were unable to move, including a large number of prohibited armor blades, including a detailed map of the counties of Hailing County and the distribution map of the garrison and the village, including a secret letter written by Cihai that was only half written and will be sent to the islands of Changguo County, including more than 40 monks and more than 80 monks who were captured......

Even if you don't count the aunts and sisters-in-law of the luxury family, all the evidence of these crimes concentrated in the Zen Temple on the top of the mountain is enough to confirm the crime of banditry among the monks of Guangjiao Temple, and Zilang Mountain is actually the secret den of Donghai Kou in Chongzhou.

Xiao Baiming's face was ugly.

Lin Jian has no power, Ninghai Town Water Camp is negligent, before thinking about Jiyang Blood Yang, Ninghai Town Water Camp is afraid of the enemy and avoids the battle, and in the end, it is not over?

Even if Lin Jian has military power, as long as he is not in Chongzhou, there is nothing to worry about. However, Zilang Mountain fell into the hands of Lin Bin, looking at the appearance of Lin Bin, probably not spit out the fat that was swallowed into the stomach again, and the army cottage was sandwiched between Zilang Mountain and Guanyin Beach, which would be very embarrassing.

"Eunuch Xiao, don't forget what you said at the bottom of the mountain," Lin Jian smiled coldly, his eyes looked at Xiao Baiming, "Last autumn, Taihu Lake robbed Kou Xisha Island, and your troops were afraid of the enemy and did not fight; This time, the East China Sea Kou and Kou Chongzhou, your department is still afraid of the enemy and will not fight; Guangjiao Temple is secretly communicating with Haikou under your eyes and nose, and your department is unaware of it - I will directly hand it to the military department if I see the excerpt of your Xiao Duwei, and ask your military commander to think about how to explain it to the military department. I don't think there's anything to do with you here, please go back! ”

Xiao Baiming didn't dare at this time, and he was not qualified to fight against Lin Bin's power, he knew from the flag hoisted by the fleet that Lin Jian was appointed as the supervisor of Jinghai Capital, as an envoy sent by the imperial court, no matter how low the official position was, he had the privilege of acting to the center. Hearing that Lin Jian wanted to directly impeach the lieutenant to the military department, and openly expelled him, he couldn't hold it on his face, gritted his teeth in his heart, but he had to confess and leave with the guards.

As soon as Xiao Baiming left, the look on Lin Lian's face eased slightly, and he said to Wu Meijiu: "Lord Wu still thinks that I dare to slaughter the temple and kill people without a little certainty?" ”

"The adult really deserves his reputation, Mei Jiu can really appreciate the demeanor of the adult today, and he is convinced and admired!" Wu Meijiu didn't want to be driven away like a dog in the water like Xiao Baiming. Thinking about it now, I really understand that Lin Jian was completely sure that he would attack the temple decisively. The previous trickery was just to keep the suddenness and deception of the offensive. Otherwise, even if the Jiangdong Left Army has absolutely strong troops, if the monks and soldiers in the courtyard are on guard in advance and stubbornly resist, it will be difficult to capture Zilang Mountain if they want minor casualties. He bowed his hand, and continued to pat Lin Tie's ass, and said, "Mei Jiu is here to congratulate Lord Lin on solving this big case and defeating this strong enemy when he first returns to Chongzhou!" ”

"They all rely on Lord Wu's merits," Lin Jian said, "verifying the evidence and torturing the prisoners, I'm afraid I will tire Lord Wu!" ”

"Ah," Wu Meijiu was slightly stunned, he didn't expect Lin Lian to share his credit, he didn't hesitate to do this kind of thing, and he couldn't allow him to hesitate, he temporarily took the post of Chongzhou magistrate, and it was the Sikou of Hailing Mansion who participated, Lin Lian asked him to participate in the trial of this case, he really couldn't shirk it, and said, "My lord commanded, Mei Jiu dared to disobey?" ”

Lin Jian smiled slightly and said: "The bandit monks should not only have the stronghold of Guangjiao Temple in Chongzhou, there are eighteen monasteries in Chongzhou, and whether other monasteries are suspected of being bandits, Lord Wu needs to be aware of everything." Whether the people around Zilang Mountain have colluded with Guangjiao Temple or not, Wu Daming also wants to find out. In addition, I led the Jiangdong Left Army back to Chongzhou, the city of Chongzhou was destroyed, and there was no military village to settle in elsewhere in Chongzhou, and I could only reluctantly take the Guangjiao Temple as a camp, hoping that Lord Wu would not misunderstand that I was going to encroach on the temple property! ”

"How so, how so? Mei Jiu must investigate the case carefully, and if he dares to make a package ticket at this time, he will definitely satisfy the adults. "Wu Meijiu can't lead troops to fight, but he has been an official for nearly 20 years, and his level is first-class, how can he not hear Lin Bin's voice?

Lin Tie's meaning, if other monasteries can be involved in the bandit case, they can be involved, and if there are people with oil and water around Zilang Mountain, they can also be involved, and the temple property of Guangjiao Temple will belong to the Jiangdong Left Army from now on, and others should not have any delusions.

Lin Jian nodded and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Lord Wu!" He also said, "The most important thing at the moment is to settle the hearts of the people, and some believers do not know the truth of the gangster case, and they also bother Lord Wu to post notices and publicize them widely." Chongzhou was destroyed, Lord Wu also had no place to work, when we went up the mountain, we saw that Guangjiao Temple has a courtyard at the foot of the east mountain, the scale is quite large, Lord Wu might as well use it to act there, or to interrogate the bandit case nearby! I'll send a few people to assist Lord Wu, what do you think? ”

"Thank you, sir, for your thoughtfulness!" Wu Meijiu said that there was no excuse from the arrangements made by Lin Tie for him, he knew that it was useless to excuse himself, and he hesitated in his heart whether to send his cronies back to Hailing Mansion to dredge up relations and leave this place of right and wrong as soon as possible. He saw that Lin Jian had no kindness to Xiao Baiming, even if everything was fine, Chongzhou was a mess that couldn't be worse. It's done well, there is no oil and water at all, it's not good, but it's a sass, and it has to be suppressed by Lin Binding, Chongzhou Zhixian is a completely thankless errand.

Wu Mei has long wanted to stay away from the land of right and wrong, of course he will not be in a hurry to show it, and he also knows at this time that Lin Lian should not offend this person easily.

Lin Jian introduced Cao Ziang and Hu Zhicheng to Wu Meijiu, Wu Meijiu was a Sikou of Hailing Mansion before joining the army, and he was not familiar with the situation in Chongzhou County, but when he came to Chongzhou to mediate the dispute between Lin Jian and Chen Kun last year, he met with Hu Zhicheng and Hu Zhiyong's brothers, and they were also acquaintances.

Lin Lian, Cao Ziang, and Hu Zhicheng were responsible for moving the evidence and prisoners to the other courtyard under the mountain overnight, and interrogated the gangster case with Wu Meijiu.

Lin Jian stayed with Hu Zhiyong, Li Shuyi, Li Shutang and others to talk about things in the Zen Monastery on the top of the mountain.

The monks of the mountaintop Zen monastery have been completely cleaned up, and multiple police posts have been added to protect the safety of Lin Jian and others, but many monks and soldiers have fled into the mountain when attacking the mountain. Although Zilang Mountain is not big, it is also surrounded by several miles, and Ao Canghai and Ning Zechen have to arrange for soldiers to search the mountain overnight.

Hu Zhiyong and Hu Zhicheng have long been involved in confidential matters, and they have long known about the cats hidden in Guangjiao Temple, but they still feel a little surprised that they can pull out this nail without much effort.

Li Shuyi is the secretary of the household office of Chongzhou County, and was originally sent to Xisha Island to participate in disaster relief and civil relief for Chen Kun of Zhixian County. Li Shuyi is an official who is responsible for the resettlement of displaced people on Xisha Island on behalf of Chongzhou County, and Xisha Island is very cooperative with Fu Qinghe, Hu Zhiyong, etc., and in fact, Chongzhou County is regarded as a person from the Lin faction.

Li Shutang is Li Shuyi's brother and the head of the Li family, a local clan in Chongzhou, and was very resistant to Lin Tie entering Chongzhou at the beginning, worried that the Lin clan would infiltrate the power into Chongzhou. Last year, the East China Sea invaded Chongzhou, and the Li family was in danger of extinction. Lin Jian resettled the displaced people of Xisha Island and invested heavily in the reconstruction of Xisha Island, and locally, the Li family was the main supporter, after all, in Chongzhou County, the Hu family's power and influence and the resources that could be mobilized were far from comparable to the Li family.

However, Li Shuyi and Li Shutang can't be regarded as Lin Bin's descendants, and they have not participated in many confidential matters, so naturally they don't know the details of Guangjiao Temple in advance, they have been with Lin Jian since they attacked the mountain gate, and at this time they almost figured things out.

Lin Jian asked Li Shuyi and Li Shutang to sit down with them, and said, "You probably also heard me signaling Wu Meijiu to take other monasteries to also operate together, I don't know what you think in your hearts?" ”

"My lord is thoughtful and calculating, and I can't speculate on it......," Li Shutang and Li Shuyi said.

"I'm not so difficult to talk to, you didn't know me on the first day, some of the looks are for outsiders to see, you are like this, I can't get used to it," Lin Jian laughed, asked Li Shuyi and Li Shutang not to be restrained, and said, "Chongzhou suffered this catastrophe, the city was destroyed in one fell swoop, it needs to be rebuilt, thousands of families are broken, the township soldiers and officials who died defending the city need to be appeased, and the Hailing Mansion and the county department can't take much silver to make up for it, so they can only raise it locally." How do localities raise their own funds? Can't you take a sum from the heads of the people? It's not easy to get the big local people to come out with the money......"

"The Li clan is willing to donate 1,000 stone grain and 1,000 taels of silver for the reconstruction of Chongcheng and appease the people, and then donate 1,000 stone grain and 1,000 taels of silver to comfort the Jiangdong Left ......Army," Li Shutang hurriedly said, this time the Donghai Kou invaded Chongzhou, and Fu Qinghe immediately sent troops to ensure that Lijiazhai Fort was guaranteed, but Lijiazhai Fort was the key target of the Donghai Kou.

"The Li family's intentions, on behalf of the Jiangdong Left Army, on behalf of the people of Chongzhou, thank you," Lin Jian said, "but compared to the shortage, the difference is too great, I have to think of other ways, Guangjiao temple property is counted as a part, other monasteries and township tycoons suspected of being bandits, I naturally will not show mercy, maybe I can barely make up for it...... Of course, at this time, Wu Meijiu is the official of Chongzhou, and there are some things that I can't interfere with directly. If Shuyi wishes, I can recommend you to a more important position, so there are some things that I need to explain to you first......"

If Lin Jian is involved in a big deal and collects the temple property of more than a dozen monasteries in Chongzhou County into official ownership, it will be a considerable amount of wealth, which may be able to make up for the cost of rebuilding Chongcheng and relieving the casualties, but the local monastic forces do not exist in isolation, and they are intertwined with the local gentry forces.

First, the monks and nuns of the monastery are all locals, and the survival of the monastery is related to their vital interests; Second, many landlords who sent their fields to the monastery to evade the Ding tax were themselves wealthy clans in Chongzhou, and the Li family had many fields in the name of the monastery, and if they were involved in the monastery, their vital interests would be infringed; The third is that the monastery itself has a broad base of believers in the local area.

Of course, Wu Meijiu will never be able to implicate the monastery forces in a big way, no one in Chongzhou County will cooperate with him, and will secretly resist him. The local forces involved in the Chongzhou County Monastery were no longer enough to compete with Lin Lian, not only did Lin Lian hold military power, but Lin Lian's prestige could also enable him to gain the support of a wide range of people who had no interests in the monastery in Chongzhou. Of course, Lin Tie wants to come to the cross, directly shoot a crime of gangsters, and lead the troops to suppress it, and no one in Chongzhou County can resist with their necks.

Li Shutang also vaguely knew that there were contradictions at the level of the Chu Party, but at that level, the Li family was not qualified enough, whether it was emotionally or from the actual interests in front of them, the Li family could only follow Lin Tie and Jiangdong Zuo Jun closely, even if there would be damage to the interests at the moment, but the vision should be longer-term. Li Shuyi didn't speak, Li Shutang first expressed his position and said: "The adults think about the people of Chongzhou, and the scholars really feel the great benevolence and righteousness of the adults, and there is really no need to be informal. My Li family also has a family temple, Bo has a temple property, in order to rebuild Chongcheng, it should be sacrificed together! ”
