AD 1042

Chapter 252 Fayuan is caught

When Su Su's carriage arrived in Nanhua County, the banker's case was settled.

The mastermind monk Fayuan has been arrested, the Duanxiang Temple has been sealed, and a group of accomplices have been arrested. Li Xiaoxiao has been released innocently, and several murders in Nanhua City have also come to light. These are all ecstasy arrays laid by the demon monk Fayuan.

Everything is to repay Master Zhuang's 'threvenge of a sword' ten years ago. As for the co-offendants, Mrs. Bai, housekeepers and others are nothing more than ** who have received money, so they got in the way. Fayuan promised that Master Zhuang's banker will be owned by them as soon as he died.

Fayuan's chess game is very good. If it hadn't been for the housekeeper and Mrs. Bai's ambition to eat alone, no one would have known the secret even in another ten years.

When Zhao Ze led the army to South China, Mrs. Bai's old skills severely harmed the life of the housekeeper. The fate of sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai learned about this matter from Lao Wang's head. In fact, Lao Wang's eyes and ears were rarely seen. Even if something happens, it will be conveyed through the monk.

Fayuan will send someone to inform the time and place of the meeting, but suddenly, after Zhao Ze's army entered the city, everything was chaotic. It was at this time that Lao Wang took advantage of the chaos to go to Duanxiang Temple to inform Fayuan. Fa Yuan was also dizzy. He saw Lao Wang three times a day. He wanted to know what was going on in the county.

Unexpectedly, Yi Jingxia, a county lieutenant who was full of anger, came to Duanxiang Temple to burn incense at this time, and then slipped to the temple to see the plum blossoms in the garden. I accidentally passed a guest room and heard someone whispering in it. At first, it didn't catch his attention.

If the illegal fate says, 'What's the movement in the government', it will be impartially transmitted to Yi Jingxia's ears, and it will really not arouse his interest. Originally, he didn't mean to eavesdrop on others, but he was upset at that time. He stood under the window for a while.

In a few words, there seems to be some secret.

As a county lieutenant in South China, Yi Jingxia noticed something, but she didn't expect it.

Since Mrs. Bai killed the housekeeper Zhuang, she didn't pay attention to the fate of the law. She said that the clams competed for the fishermen to make profits. You'd better all die and do it.

However, in just one day, things changed. I don't know where an adult surnamed Zhao came out and suddenly intervened in the banker's case. Mrs. Bai was a thief and felt guilty. Several times she wanted to discuss with Fayuan to take the silver and went away.

Fayuan secretly warned her that she must not act rashly at this time. If you leave, the government must doubt it. In order to comfort Mrs. Bai, Fayuan came up with an idea to let her continue to pretend to be a ghost and make trouble with Master Zhuang's ghost as much as possible. Let that stinky maid Li Xiaoxiao carry this wrongful debt. Who said that she harmed Master Zhuang's life?

Fayuan's strategy is not bad, but Mrs. Bai has acted too far, and she even cheated her own people.

Lao Wang, who was on the update, fainted for a moment and ran to the county government to complain. He was asked six times by Sima Guangsan, threatened him, and said everything.

Although he did not know that Fayuan was the mastermind of murder, Sima Guang was not stupid. Coupled with Zhao Ze's toss, Mrs. Bai wanted to poison Li Xiaoxiao.

The victim finally showed his tail, and the South China prison is a trap.

Sister-in-law Bai's head fell in. Only then did she escape from the fire pit and was ready to fly away with gold and silver. Unexpectedly, Hong Bao, who was in charge of lighting the lamp in the banker, was also a greedy man who coveted the beauty of Mrs. Bai for a long time.

Taking advantage of this juxta, Mrs. Bai blocked the room and wanted to forcibly possess this woman with a snake and a scorpion-like heart.

Although Hong Bao has a lot of strength, he doesn't know the background of Mrs. Bai. She is the mother Yecha on the Green Forest Road. A few years ago, she was the Hun family of the thief king near South China. Now she doesn't wash her hands, but her kung fu is still there. Hong Bao put his arms around Mrs. Bai's waist.

I felt a splitting headache. As soon as I let go, Mrs. Bai suddenly pulled out the hairpin. Hong Bao's temple bleed and he suddenly fainted.

Mrs. Bai still escaped. The official came a step late and only caught the unlucky Hong Bao.

On the verge of his death, he talked about collusion with Mrs. Bai, and also said that Li Xiaoxiao was wronged, and the housekeeper Zhuang was killed by Mrs. Bai with him, because the housekeeper wanted to swallow it alone.

As for the ghost and god, the matter was also made up by Mrs. Bai and him. Several murders in South China were done by Mrs. Bai.

Most of the truth was revealed. Sima Guang was about to ask who the master behind him was and wanted him to testify, but Hong Bao was seriously injured, and his words came to his mouth and died.

When catching Fayuan, it took a lot of time, because Duanxiang Temple is outside the city, the mountains are high and dense, and there is only one mountain road up and down the mountain.

Fayuan has been operating in Duanxiang Temple for many years and has raised a lot of monks and soldiers. The officials and archers in Nanhua County alone can't attack the top of the mountain at all. If it hadn't been for the help of Zhao Ze's five or six hundred troops, when the attack went up the mountain, Fayuan would have also fled.

The battle of Duanxiang Temple was quite fierce. Even Sima Guang did not expect that Lu Cheng, the head of the catcher, led more than 50 people to the middle of the mountain. He was caught off guard by the monk ambushed in the roadside grass. He left the body of the ground and retreated back to the mountain in confusion and asked the county for help.

These more than 50 officials are one-third of the strength of Nanhua County, and the rest are guarding the city.

Sima Guang had to ask Zhao Ze for help and asked him to send troops to help the war, saying that helping the war was actually to participate in the war directly.

In order to minimize losses, Zhao Ze sent Mu Yunhan, Di Ning and Lu Jun to lead the original team of Jingyanggang to attack the mountain, each with 100 people. Chao Fang led a hundred musketeers to accompany him and cooperate with Mu Yunhan to kill the enemy.

Zhao Ze said first that if Mu Yunhan wins this battle, he will give him a hundred muskets as a reward. If not, I'm afraid the brothers will not accept it.

Mu Yunhan also understands that Zhao Ze is testing him. If he is sincere, he will do his best in this battle. Even if he loses all the people and horses, he will not hesitate. Who told him to turn to the court, become a king and lose the bandit. Mu Yunhan gambled fiercely.

Before entering the mountain, Mu Yunhan called the two brothers Di Ning and Lu Jun over and told them, "We must win this battle. If we lose, we will have no way out. Lord Zhao is also shameless. If we win, we can say anything. In the future, everyone will have meat to eat and drink."

Di Ning had nothing to say. He looked at the ground with a long spear and patted his chest and promised, "Brother, don't worry, our Jingyanggang brothers are all good. No one is afraid of death. They are afraid of death and break up early."

Lu Jun didn't say much, but he was very calm. Although Mu Yunhan didn't read many books, he was also more independent. He asked, "Brother, Lord Zhao won't use us as a gun. Why didn't he send his own people to attack the mountain?"

Mu Yunhan smiled faintly and said, "The third brother is too worried. Doesn't the third brother know that this person from Liangshan was also recruited by Lord Zhao? It seems to be Lord Zhao's confidant. As for why Lord Zhao asked me to wait for the attack the mountain, the third brother's statement is just speculation. The eldest brother thinks that Lord Zhao is not that kind of person. I can guarantee that today's war. It's when our brothers show their faces and win. We are officials. If we lose, it's hard to say. Maybe we have to go back to do our old business, so I've thought about it. This battle is absolutely unbeatable. If you encounter a strong enemy, you can find your own way. Didn't Lord Zhao send a hundred musketeers? It should be better than archers. If the eldest brother estimates Yes, this Chao Fang brothers are also sent by adults to supervise you and me. Well, I won't talk about it. Go back and tell the brothers that if they win, the eldest brother will treat you in the South China Restaurant."

"Yes, big brother, don't worry," Di Ning and Lu Jun answered in unison.

Duanxiang Temple was besieged all night. At dawn the next day, Zhao Ze's mountain attack army was launched.

Mu Yunhan's people and horses are in front, Chao Fang's people and horses are closely following him, Di Ning is in the middle, and Lu Jun is in the back.

In a dangerous place, Mu Yunhan will order people to throw torches, see clearly the musketist of Hou Chaofang and then shoot. Along the way, I fought and fought with the monks on the mountain for ten times, and there were no less than 20 traps I encountered.

After losing more than 100 people, Mu Yunhan's brothers killed Duanxiang Temple and captured the old monk of Fayuan alive.

In order to prevent him from biting his tongue and committing suicide, Mu Yunhan took off the chin of the Dharmayuan and was carried to the foot of the mountain. He was directly imprisoned in the prison of the county government. Sima Guang sent Lu Cheng to guard it in person.

Subsequently, Zhao Ze's army entered the mountain one after another and cleaned the Duanxiang Temple. More than a dozen boxes of gold and silver were obtained, and a carriage was loaded with silk alone.

Mu Yunhan played well in this battle.

In order to show his sincerity, Zhao Ze took out a third of his belongings and rewarded it to Mu Yunhan's brother. In addition, he gave out a hundred muskets. He wrote down the credit for the time being, and then returned to the Mingsheng.

Most of the remaining money was sent to the Nanhua County Government for Sima Guang's disposal, leaving only a small part of the reward for Chao Fang and others.

At the end of the battle of Duanxiang Temple, Su Su's carriage also arrived at the Nanhua County government.

Sima Guangcai finished the trial of the banker's case, convicted the fate of the law, and ordered the wanted Mrs. Bai. Then he wrote a letter to the state, asking Qiu Hou to punish the evil monk. After the state verification, he reported it to the court for execution.

After writing the last official document, the gatekeeper's official came to report: "Lord Sima, there is an adult in Beijing outside the door, saying that he wants to see Lord Zhao!"

"Oh, what a famous post!" Sima Guang put down his pen and asked.

"Yes, here, please have a look!" The official handed over the post.

Sima Guang unfolded and was shocked. It turned out that it was Zhao Ze's sister, Lord Su, and Mr. Lu Xiang's handwritten letter, saying that he would listen to Lord Su's arrangement.

Knowing that this person could not afford to offend, Sima Guang quickly got up and left the lobby to meet him at the door of the government.

There is a beautiful four-wheeled carriage parked there. The body is painted with exquisite patterns and the window is inlaid with gold edges.

Sima Guang stepped forward and said, "Sima Guang from South China County, please see Lord Su"

When the door opened, Su Su came down, wearing a red cloak. She saw the official's eyes lit up and quickly lowered her head.

"Exemption, go in and talk about it!" Su Su said coldly.

"Yes, my lord, please inside!" When Sima Guang looked up, he caught a glimpse of Su Su and was shocked. He said that he never thought that Lord Zhao's sister was a great beauty. It seemed that the news from merchants in Beijing was a little inaccurate.

Half an hour later, Su Su left the Nanhua County Office, got into the carriage and went straight to Zhao Ze's residence, Nanhua Post Station.

The study in the east wing of Huichun Hall.

Zhao Ze couldn't believe that his sister Su Su came and dressed so decently. If it hadn't been for her natural daughter, just looking at this romantic and unrestrained appearance, I don't know how many Song women will be fascinated by this elegant official uniform.

"Sister, you have worked hard all the way!" Zhao Ze stood up excitedly, and Shangguan Mei also stood up and asked Su Su for warmth.

Shangguan Baoer blinked her apricot eyes, looked at Zhao Ze for a while, looked at Su Su and looked at Shangguan Mei for a while.

He said obediently, "Sister Su, please be worshipped by Baoer!"

"Good boy, sit down!" Su Su showed a little smile.

After everyone sat down, Zhao Ze ordered someone to change a pot of tea and poured a cup of tea and handed it over respectfully.

"Sister, you have reduced a lot"

Su Su smiled, "You have grown a lot of meat, and even your appearance has changed."

"Hey, I don't know what's going on. I'm going to ask my sister." Zhao Ze sat down.

"Today, all the people present were family members, and my sister didn't hide it from you. When my younger brother was in Luzhou, he was seriously injured. My sister had no choice but to swallow a pill for him, which was poisoned. This big pill was done by my grandfather before his death. It is estimated that the drug attack caused my brother's bones strange."

Shangguan Mei couldn't help but be stunned. She said that all this was caused by her. After listening to her sister Su Su's words, she was worried that the medicinal properties in Zhao Ze's body had not yet dissipated, so she asked, "Sister, will the medicinal properties of Da Huan Dan recur?"

Su Su looked at Shangguan Mei, who was becoming more and more charming, and told her, "Sister, don't worry. This medicine will only recur once in her life. My brother has already escaped this disaster."

Shangguan Mei has always been worried about Zhao Ze's changes. Today, she was relieved to hear her sister's words. "In this case, I'm relieved."
