Chapter 372 Speculation(1/2)
Setting sun, sunset!
The official road is heavily guarded, and the patrols are even more frequent.¥f,.
When Yang Shouwen arrived at the ambush, he found that the bodies of the monks had been taken away, but there were still officials guarding the middle of the road. Yang Shouwen was also familiar with the officer in charge of the patrol. It was Wang Haibin.
However, seeing Wang Haibin is there, Yang Shouwen frowned.
He rushed forward, "Shiqilang, how did you set up a checkpoint here?"
Previously, he told Yang Moli to ask him to find Wang Haibin to besiege Puhui Temple after he arrived in Changzhou. But now Wang Haibin appears here, which means that the official army surrounding Puhui Temple has been assigned by other agencies, and it may not have taken action at all.
Wang Haibin hurriedly bowed and said, "Searchman, I am here to guard the governor."
"Who is the one whom the governor Cui sent to surround Puhui Temple?"
Wang Haibin was stunned and shook his head and said, "I don't know this last general... I only know that the governor ordered me to lead my troops to guard this road. The rest of the matter is not known to the last general, so please do not blame me."
Yang Shouwen got off the horse and stood in the middle of the road.
He glanced around and said in a deep voice: "Does Governor Cui have any other instructions?"
"That's not the case. I just say that if you meet Zhengshilang, you must protect Zhengshilang from returning to Changzhou County safely."
It turned out that this army was waiting for Yang Shouwen to come here.
Yang Shouwen nodded, "Where is the assassin's body?"
"Has been sent to the county government."
"In this way, immediately gather troops and follow me back to the county town."
"Here!"
Wang Haibin hurriedly took the order and left, while Yang Shouwen got on the horse again.
The group soon came outside Changzhou County. Before they could enter the city, they saw Xue Chongjian galloping on horseback, slamming the war horses in front of Yang Shouwen, and then bowed slightly on the horse and said, "The Conqueror, Cui, Gao Sheren and the Commander of Di County, ordered me to wait here. If the Conqueror comes back, please go to the county government immediately, and they will wait in the county government."
Magistrate of Di County?
Yang Shouwen was stunned for a moment and said softly: "Erlang, which magistrate Di County?"
Xue Chongjian smiled and said, "Of course, he is the second son of Di State. The governor Cui had already obtained a secret decree, and after the arrival of the magistrate of Di County, he sent an order to him. The sage ordered Di County to take the post of Changzhou County, and ordered him to form the Wuqi Group on the spot and be appointed as the Suzhou Group Training Envoy."
"oh?"
Yang Shouwen was a little surprised. But soon, he figured out the mystery.
Di Renjie has three sons. His eldest son Di Guangsi was the governor of Zibo as the Minister of Revenue at the beginning of the year. He was also the one with the most outstanding ability among Di Renjie's sons. However, in addition to Di Guangsi, his other two sons...
When Yang Shouwen was in Luoyang, he heard that Di Renjie's youngest son Di Guangzhao caused resentment in Weizhou. The locals even destroyed the temples built for Di Renjie because of him. It can be seen how trouble Di Guangzhao caused. It is said that Li Yuanfang, the general of Fengchen Guard, went to Weizhou in person and arrested Di Guangzhao.
Di Renjie entered Shangyang Palace and begged hard, but Wu Zetian pardoned Di Guangzhao for his death.
But in this way, Di Guangsi was left with only one Di Guangsi, and it was inevitable that he was weak. This time he went to Suzhou to find the treasure of Huangtai, and Wang Yuankai was killed. Di Renjie wanted to take the opportunity to push Di Guang forward to enhance the strength of the Di family.
Everyone knows that once this treasure of Emperor Tai is released, it will be a great achievement.
With the help of others, if Di Guangyuan can solve the case of Wang Yuankai being killed, it will be icing on the cake.
As long as Di Guangyuan can be at peace and keep himself in mind, he will ensure that there will be no trouble in Changzhou.
Yang Shouwen predicted that in less than a year, Di Renjie would try to get Di Guangyuan back to Shendu and take office in the three provinces and six ministries.
In that case, even if Di Renjie returns to the west in the future, Di Guangyuan will be able to support the sky.
Thinking of this, Yang Shouwen couldn't help laughing.
He had never seen Di Renjie, but from this matter, he could still feel the fireworks on Di Renjie's body. After all, he could not escape the family affection... Di Renjie was in poor health, so he planned for Di Guangyuan in this way.
He nodded immediately, "Since that's the case, Erlang leads the way."
Xue Chongjian agreed and led Yang Shouwen straight to the county government.
After arriving at the county government office, the two of them dismounted outside the door, and a servant took their horses away. Yang Shouwen followed Xue Chong to the lobby of the front government office. Before he could enter the lobby, he heard a noise and noise in the lobby.
In the lobby, there were a row of monks kneeling.
The two leaders are not unfamiliar with Yang Shouwen. They were the guest monk Fayan, who had dealt with him yesterday outside the mountain gate of Puhui Temple. Beside Fayan, the precept monk Fahui. Behind the two, more than ten monks were kneeling in the hall.
"My County Master Mingjian, we really don't know where Elder Shenhui is going. I am wronged."
"Yes, I am just a monk in the precepts. How could I control the whereabouts of the master? When he left, I didn't know about it."
"Please give a clear understanding to the county!"
In the lobby, the lights were brightly lit.
Di Guangyuan's face turned pale and he didn't say a word.
In his head, Gao Jian, Cui Xuanwei and Li Longji were seated upright.
At Di Guangyuan's lower head, Zhou Lizhen and Pei Guangting were sitting. Three yamen runners stood on both sides, holding water and fire sticks in their hands.
Di Guangyuan slapped the agglomeration and shouted sternly: "Shut up with me, messing around, and making noise. Don't blame me for roaring with me, and others for roaring in the court. No words are allowed. I ask you, and you will answer them one by one."
Yang Shouwen's eyes narrowed, and he immediately glanced at Xue Chongjian.
Xue Chongjian nodded at him and walked into the lobby.
"County Master, Yang Pingshi is back!"
"Ah, Aozhi is back?"
In the lobby, Di Guangyuan and others stood up one after another, while Yang Shouwen stepped into the hall.
He glanced at the monks, then stepped forward and bowed, "The county master arrived in Changzhou today. The subordinate officials failed to go to greet him for some reason. Instead, they caused trouble for the county master. Please forgive me."
Di Guangyuan said: "Where is the Conqueror who said that, I have received the will of the saint.
I never thought that Changzhou was so chaotic. In broad daylight, someone dared to attack the imperial officials. It was really unforgivable. Qingzhi, are you okay? I was really shocked when I heard that you were attacked."
Di Guangyuan seemed very enthusiastic, which surprised Yang Shouwen.
He hurriedly thanked and saluted the others. Then he sat next to Pei Guangting under the arrangement of Di Guangyuan.
"Qingzhi, after I received the news of your attack, I immediately asked Governor Cui to send troops and surround Puhui Temple.
However, Shen Hui, the abbot of Puhui Temple, fled after hearing the news, and the official had to take down these monks."
Yang Shouwen thanked Di Guangyuan again, and his eyes immediately fell on Fa Yan and Fa Hui.
"I wonder if these demon monks have ever asked for confession?"
"Yang Pingshi. Unjustly!"
Fahui shouted loudly: "I am just a monk and others who are on duty in the temple, so how can I care about the whereabouts of the elders? I really don't know where the elders have gone. I would like to ask Yang Pingshi to clarify the matter."
“Bold!”
Yang Shouwen shouted sternly: "Now in the court, the county magistrate has not asked you to speak, so why dare you shout loudly?"
As he spoke, he stood up and bowed to Di Guangyuan, "This kind of demon monk is brave and brave. He is the majesty of the Zhenggong Hall. I also ask the county magnificent to punish him and take the cusp of twenty."
When Di Guangyuan heard this, he immediately said, "That's right, someone will slap his mouth."
Two officers stepped forward, one of them hugged Fahui tightly, while the other officer held a bamboo board in his hand and went forward and beat him up, making Fahui's face full of blood, which was terrible. After the execution, the officer retreated, Fahui fell to the ground and felt pain. And beside him, the guest monk Fayan looked like paper and his body was trembling.
Not only Fayan, but also other monks were all looked disgusted.
Yang Shouwen sat down and bowed to Di Guangyuan, then stopped talking.
Li Longji frowned slightly and glanced at Yang Shouwen; Gao Jian and Cui Xuanwei remained silent, with their faces as usual.
Di Guangyuan said: "Fayan, you just said that you don't know where the divine wisdom is going.
That official asked you, have you ever seen Shenhui today?"
"During day and morning class, I met the elder.
Later, the elder recited scriptures in the meditation hall. Around the Shishi Shi, the elder suddenly called a few people and left on a boat, but did not explain to the young monk. In the past, the elder often visited friends by boat, so the young monk did not ask, so he did not know where he was going."
Shenhui, ran away?
Yang Shouwen also heard the situation clearly at this moment, and his brows frowned slightly.
Shen Shi, that should be the matter before and after he encountered a slum. He had not arrived at the Su family garden at that time. Logically speaking, all the ambushed assassins died there, and it was impossible for anyone to escape. After all, Yang Shouwen still had a Hai Dongqing in his hand to watch over the air. If there was a fish that had escaped the net, Da Yu would definitely notice it. How could he let him escape?
If there is no fish that escapes the net, how could Shenhui know that the ambush failed and escape in time?
Thinking of this, Yang Shouwen glanced at Li Longji inadvertently.
It shouldn't be him... If Li Longji wants to kill his life, he has many means, and a half-way ambush is definitely not a wise move.
But when it comes to the notes of "Beware of Saburo" Yang Shouwen feels a little confused.
He thought of the ambush in Baishuitang and the note of warning he received when he was in Luoyang, and he immediately became more vigilant about Li Longji.
Di Guangyuan repeatedly asked the monks such as Fayan, but these monks insisted that they did not know the whereabouts of Shenhui.
Yang Shouwen suddenly said, "Fayan, I will ask you."
Yesterday, Shenhui said that the night before yesterday, Puhui Temple was attacked by thieves and snatched the Buddha's bone relics. Is it serious?"
"ah?"
To be continued...
