Chapter 16 In the fifteenth chapter, Li Yintai sits in Nantai Temple.Shao Daxia kills corrupt officials on a moonlit night

Jiang Feng bid farewell to Li Yan and his party in front of the mountain gate of Fuyan Temple, and Wu Bian, who had reported the letter, immediately came to Nantai Temple. The Master Li waiting for him here was none other than Li Yihe, the inspector of Hunan Province. At the beginning of May, the emperor accepted Li Guifei's suggestion and sent his senior officials and senior officials to visit the eight famous Buddhist and Taoist mountains, including Mount Wutai, Mount Emei, Mount Putuo, Mount Jiuhua, Mount Qingcheng, Mount Wudang, Mount Kongtong, and Mount Heng, to offer incense and pray for blessings.Historically, although such large-scale royal activities did not concern the national economy and the people's livelihood, the cabinet had to actively participate and assist in handling them.After receiving the decree, the cabinet sent a note to the Ministry of Rites and Qin Tianjian to send eight officials to accompany Ouchi Zhonggui.Eight officials were also selected from the Ministry of War to lead a team of brocade guards, responsible for guarding and picking up along the way.These eight teams chose an auspicious day and left the capital together to go to various famous mountains.Running a business for the emperor, the leader of the team, Zhonggui, is arrogant and domineering, needless to say, even the general entourage is also arrogant.These eight incense-worshiping teams traveled all the way across the prefecture and counties, and were picked up by local officials across the border.Those officials with black gauze on their heads and official robes are all from Jinshi who have read poetry and books.Although he looked down on the group of rootless men in front of the emperor from the bottom of his heart, he couldn't afford to offend them.When the incense-worshiping team arrived at the territory under their own jurisdiction, not to mention the good wine and meat, they were able to give a large sum of money in the name of honoring the emperor to buy incense money.However, the team that came to Hengshan to worship incense was led by Eunuch Zhang, the eunuch and eunuch.Before he left the capital, Zhang Juzheng wrote a letter to Li Yihe, telling this father-in-law that Zhang was originally the steward of the Compassionate Palace where Li Guifei lived, and hoped that Li Yihe would treat it with caution.Even without this letter, Li Yihe didn't dare to be negligent, and with this letter, he took it as a top priority.In Changsha, I received Zhang Gonggong and his party and arranged a big feast for them, which was really lively.Afterwards, taking advantage of Eunuch Zhang's socializing with other officials in Changsha, Li Yihe went to Hengshan first to direct and arrange for Eunuch Zhang and his party to go up the mountain to pay respects.On the first day Li Yan went up the mountain, Li Yihe lived in Nantai Temple of Hengshan Mountain.There are Fuyan Temple, Fangguang Temple, Danxia Temple and Nantai Temple on Hengshan Mountain, all of which were ancient temples before the Tang Dynasty.Among them, the scenery around Nantai Temple is the best, and the houses prepared for the benefactors are also the most exquisite. Li Yihe chose this place as the residence for Zhang Gonggong and his party to pay respects to the mountain.

This Li Yihe is indeed a character who can go up and down, a dignified master of the fourth rank of the official residence, who personally directs a group of handymen to clean up the temple guest house.Where a chair should be placed, where a picture should be hung on the wall, he himself has to speak.Finally, together with the abbot, he worked out the recipe for Jiefeng Suyan.After a busy day, people are a little tired.After returning to the guest house, I lay down on the bamboo chair and rested my eyes for a while, when suddenly I heard a commotion from the monastery, and ordered someone to inquire, and told that it was a pilgrim who had come to stay, but had been rejected by the monk who knew the guest in the monastery.From this, Li Yihe thought that there were many mountain tourists whose identities were unknown, if they were allowed to stay on the mountain, and if some gangsters were hidden among them to disturb the imperial envoys praying for the emperor, then all his diligence would be in vain.Thinking of this, he ordered people to find Jiang Feng quickly, and asked him to send troops to the temples and Taoist temples overnight to clear all the tourists who stayed on the mountain and go down the mountain.

But Jiang Feng came to Nantai Temple out of breath, and when he kowtowed to Li Yihe to receive instructions, he immediately looked distressed. Seeing that you have trouble on your face, what is the matter?Li Yihe sat on the recliner, squinting at Jiang Feng who was standing with his hands down. Jiang Feng is a warrior, and he speaks straightforwardly: I am the general manager, and I can lead a hundred soldiers.There are thousands of tourists staying in the temples and temples on this mountain, at least a few hundred people, how can it be cleaned up in a short time. How decent it is to complain about suffering after doing a little thing!Li Yihe became annoyed when he said that, and reprimanded him, raising soldiers for a thousand days, and using them for a while.The imperial court spends a lot of money to support you, and it is hoped that it will come in handy at this time. Don't make me look down, anyway, the tourists will be cleaned up tonight.

Jiang Feng knew that he couldn't resist, so he said: Master Li, I will take over this task in a lowly position, but I also have to ask for a charter. Speak. What if tourists refuse to leave? Throw out! Is it possible to get rid of it? You, the chief executive, have the right to deal with it randomly. You still have to ask me about such a simple matter? My lord, of course I have to ask.The soldiers under the humble rank all hold weapons in their hands. If they push and scuffle with tourists, they may die. You want to scare me? There is no such meaning in the humble position, please don't get me wrong.Jiang Feng hastily explained that in Nanyue Fragrant City in August last year, there were more than 10,000 tourists who went up to the mountain to pay respects to the incense a day. killed.

That being the case, when encountering an unreasonable person, before he makes a move, first take the shackles and lock him up. This is also a word. Jiang Feng originally meant to understand, but his words were inappropriate, and Li Yihe felt frustrated when a scholar met a soldier.Jiang Feng wanted to ask something else, but the monk who knew the guest in the temple came in and said that the abbot invited Li Yihe to come over. Li Yihe followed the Zhigu monk through a hall, and arrived at the opposite wing, which is also a row of guest rooms. The abbot stood at the door of a guest room, saluted Li Yihe who was walking towards him, and said, "According to Master Li, we use green sarongs." Cover up this poem, I don't know if it is suitable or not, so I ask Mr. Li to read it.

Li Yihe stepped into the room, which was one of the best guest rooms in the temple, and it was reserved for Mr. Zhang.I saw an exquisitely made green sarong placed on the snow-white wall.Covered inside is a poem written on a whitewashed wall: Sleeping on a lonely peak in the dark smoke, I don't know that I am on the top of Cuiwei. Hansheng bells and chimes are clear at the beginning of the night, and the moon is full and round. The dust and dreams are extinguished with all phases, and the light of the mind is ignited. In the Ming Dynasty, they searched for Zhuling Road, and they still haven't turned around after walking all over Ziyun.

Signed with nine characters: Su Nantai Temple, signed by Zhang Juzheng. Li Yihe stared at the wall with his head tilted, and the abbot didn't know whether he was admiring the poem or the green sarong.After standing aside and waiting for a while, he asked in a low voice: Master Li, how do you think this green sarong is doing? very good!Li Yihe nodded slightly, glanced at the abbot, and looked very excited. Fifteen years ago, Zhang Juzheng and I traveled together to visit Mount Heng. Retired from the seat in the work to recuperate.The two sixth-rank officials are both thirty-year-old and recuperating at home.It is really a joy to travel around the mountains and rivers without an official.We lived in Fuyan Temple on the first night of our Hengshan tour, and lived in Nantai Temple on the fourth night.At that time, you were not the abbot here.That night, the two of us drank a little wine with vegetarian food in the temple. Taking advantage of the wine, Zhang Juzheng recited a poem casually, and asked the little monk to bring the pen and ink to write the poem on the wall.At that time, Zhang Juzheng's mind was filled with the thoughts of some monks.Fifteen years have passed, and I went up the mountain for the second time, and seeing this poem is like seeing an old friend.Zhang Juzheng has been promoted from a sixth-rank editor to a first-rank cabinet minister, and he no longer has the time to dream of becoming a monk like he did back then.However, his poems remained on the wall of Nantai Temple, and they really became the treasures of Nantai Temple.He must be very happy to let Eunuch Zhang live in this room tomorrow.

Although the current abbot of Nantai Temple is not involved in the incident mentioned by Li Yihe, he has heard about it a long time ago.He still carefully protected the poem Zhang Juzheng left on the wall, but he never thought that it should be covered with green gauze. Master abbot, this room is usually locked, and only when imperial envoys like Zhang Gonggong or officials from the frontier come, will they be opened to live in, what do you think? The abbot, who kept nodding his head in agreement but didn't speak, saw Li Yihe's embarrassment, so he could only reply: Mr. Li's proposal is very good, and this old monk will follow suit.

Jiang Feng, who had been following to watch the excitement, suddenly added a sentence: I heard that Zhang Juzheng is going to be the chief assistant. Who did you listen to?Li Yihe asked. The old Taoist of Zhurong Hall, fifteen years ago, Mr. Zhang Ge drew a lottery there, didn't Master Tai come with him? Li Yihe heard these words, although his heart was warm, but on the surface he had to put on a serious face and reprimand: You can be regarded as a person who eats the emperor's food, how can you be so nonchalant?Ah, really, why don't you go on official business and come here?

Jiang Feng clasped his fists again, and said: "Return to Mr. Tai, there is still one thing I need to ask for instructions in humble positions." Speaking. When cleaning up the tourists on the mountain, do they drive them all indiscriminately, or are there differences. Always drive. What if there are officials among the tourists? Oh, probably not. There is one right now. who? Li Yan, the outgoing governor of Guangdong and Guangxi. Li Yan?Li Yihe was taken aback, he couldn't believe his ears, and hurriedly asked: You said that Li Yan resigned from Qingyuan, Guangxi? Exactly.

where is he now Fuyan Temple. Jiang Feng then recounted his encounter with Li Yan, and Li Yihe felt that it was a coincidence.About two months ago, he was ordered by Zhang Juzheng to secretly go to Qingyuan Street. Although Yin Zhengmao's flickering attitude made him dissatisfied, he still found some clues about Li Yan's greed for ink from other people's mouths.Now when the imperial court's incense tribute team arrived, Li Yan suddenly appeared in Hengshan again. Is this a coincidence, or is Li Yan coming here to meet with someone?Li Yihe suddenly became more vigilant.After thinking for a while, he suddenly changed his blunt attitude towards Jiang Feng, patted him on the shoulder, and said affectionately: "Go, go back to my room, let's talk about this matter." Hearing the footsteps of old monk Juoneng walking away, the back door of the monastery creaked and then returned to silence.Gu He then got up and walked around the stone railing around the platform, then picked a stone bench, and sat opposite Li Yan across the stone table.After Monk Jueneng left, Li Yan felt uneasy. Although he was eager to seek a visit from another person, the sudden appearance of this person made him feel uneasy.While Gu He was taking a walk, he secretly looked at him and saw that he was wearing a Sansuo missionary robe. Under the moonlight, he couldn't tell whether the color of the robe was blue or black.On his head is a Zhongjing crown with a fairy charm, on his feet he wears white cloth socks, and he wears a pair of hemp-eared straw sandals.Although he couldn't tell how old he was, judging by the three long beards on his chin, he was probably in his fifties. As soon as he sat down, Gu He spoke first: Master Li, you have come all the way from Qingyuan, I am afraid you are always worried. This first sentence made Li Yan feel apprehensive.But after all, he was the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, so he calmed down, so he said in a half-dissatisfied and half-probing tone: How can you talk like this, sir. Gu He smiled and sarcastically said: As the saying goes, a phoenix with shedding hair is not as good as a chicken, Master Li is now considered a man in distress, how can he still boss around like he was two months ago? Li Yan was choked for a moment, clasped his fists and asked again: Please tell me your name and name, sir, who is the master? I said it just now, why should we have known each other before, you can call me Gu He. Mr. Gu He, you seem to be very familiar with my situation. Yes, Gu He's eyes flickered, making people feel a threatening chill, Gao Gong is your seat lord, this is something everyone in the world knows.If it weren't for this relationship, how could it be your turn for such an important position as Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi? This is tantamount to slapping someone face to face, Li Yan couldn't hold back his face, and said angrily: Mr. Gu He, I don't know you before, how can you humiliate others face to face like this. Gu He replied: Loyal words are harsh to the ear and good for deeds, Mr. Li, if you had people like me telling you the truth when you took office three years ago, you would not have relied on a background like Gao Gong to do whatever you want regardless of the consequences. As a result, it fell into today's end. Li Yan was stunned, feeling that although this expert's words were harsh, but every word was true.Unavoidably he let out a long sigh, and then asked: In Mr.'s opinion, what will happen to me in the future? What do adults think? Since Mr. knows everything, I have nothing to hide.Li Yan replied, my future, misfortune and fortune are all linked to my benefactor. Gu He nodded: This is true. However, what I am worried about now is that the position of the head and assistant is hard to guarantee. Why do adults have such worries? Perhaps there is providence here. Li Yan then told what he saw and heard in Fuyan Temple.Gu He listened carefully, and then said: It is true that God's will cannot be violated, Zhang Juzheng and Gao Gong, one is a Grand Master, a Grand Master of Jianji Temple, and the other is a Young Master, a Grand Master of Wenyuan Pavilion.They are all people who enshrine the marquis and worship the prime minister.Once you enter the cabinet, it is considered to be God's will.As for who will be the chief assistant between the two of them in the future, it depends on the fortune at that time. According to my humble opinion, the so-called good luck is the ups and downs of human affairs. I heard that a father-in-law Zhang will come to the mountain to offer incense and pray for the emperor to ward off disasters, which shows that the emperor is seriously ill. Li Yan stopped talking, he found that Gu He turned his head to the extremely bright stone tablet, as if he was listening to something. Mr. Guhe?Li Yan shouted. Lone Crane groaned, turned his head back, and said: I heard a rustling sound behind the stone tablet, it seemed to be a wild rabbit.Mr. Li, please continue. After this pause, Li Yan suddenly felt that what he just said was gossip, so he got back to the topic and asked: Sir, you will explain the method of liberation for me tonight. Yes. What is the method of liberation? It's all over, everything is over. I have heard such words. ah? It was said by Baijing, the abbot of Xizhu Temple on Qingyuan Street. The words are different, but the meaning is similar.Before I left Qingyuan, I asked him about good and bad luck, and he asked me to read a poem by Tang Bohu. Tang Bohu is a famous romantic talent, which one of his poems does Baijing ask you to read? The third of Manxing's ten poems.I have read it, but Li is not talented and has never understood the mystery in the poem. Remember that poem? Remember. As Li Yan said, he tapped on the stone table with his fingers and groaned in a low voice: When you are young, you are young, and you are caring and pitiful. The snow on Duqu's pear flower cup, the smoke in the dream of Baling fragrant grass. There are golden tears on the two sleeves of the future, and the Zen of bones is born three times in the public case. The old queen thought about it and should not regret it, in front of the door of the begging house. After returning from visiting Baijing in Xizhu Temple, Li Yan found this poem from Tang Bohu's collection of poems, and recited it several times when he had nothing to do.Therefore, these short fifty-six characters have long been familiar by heart.Reciting it again here and now, I couldn't stop being full of sadness.After reading the poem, my throat is already choked up and I can't help myself. Tang Bohu's poem is really full of sadness.The lone crane caressed the three long beards, and sighed, "Qian Cheng has golden tears on his sleeves, and Gongan Sansheng Bone Zen."Master Li, the true method of liberation is hidden in these two lines of poems! Ah, sir, let me go. Originally, Mr. Gao Ge had already arranged a bright future for Mr. Li, but Mr. is obsessed with money and greedy for huge military pay. What is it if this is not the golden tears of the future?As for the Gongan Sansheng Baigu Chan, Mr. is a person who understands, do you have to ask me to point it out? Li Yan's heart sank, and he thought: How did he know that I was greedy for Mo's military salary?I feel more and more mysterious about this lone crane.Now that the matter has come to this point, I don't care about face, I just said in a weeping tone: Since Mr. knows everything, I still hope to give some advice. Gu He shook his head, frowned tightly, and remained silent for a while.This expression gave Li Yan the feeling that a catastrophe was imminent, he got up and walked around the stone table, and fell on his knees in front of the lonely crane with a thump, begging repeatedly: I hope that the master will perform great virtues and save Li. Gu He did not go to help Li Yan, but looked up at the sky, and saw a bright moon hanging in the starry sky, next to the extremely high Mingtai, the branches and leaves of a few ancient pines reflected the silvery white light, and the black clusters of peaks in the distance A cloud of undulating clouds.Gu He seemed to have received some inspiration, his livid face relaxed a little, and he said slowly: Mr. Li, please get up. Seeing Li Yan struggling to get up and sit back on the stone bench, Gu He went on to say: Do you really want to know who I am? Who are you?Li Yan opened his eyes wide. To tell you the truth, my surname is Shao, and I am known as Danyang Shao Daxia. Shao Daxia?Li Yan was stunned for a while, and asked, are you the Shao Daxia who won the position of chief assistant for Gao Gong? Exactly. Li Yan suddenly caught a piece of driftwood like a drowning man. He grabbed Shao Daxia's hand and said excitedly: "Li has heard Shao Daxia's name for a long time, but I didn't expect to see you in Hengshan. It's really lucky for three lives." Shao Daxia pushed away Li Yan's hands, and said darkly: "Master Li, please don't talk about such nonsense.As I said, I am here to open the door of liberation for you. Thank you very much.Li Yan suddenly became full of energy, and spoke freely, Shao Daxia really had a clever plan, he was sure that I was going to come to this very high platform tonight, so he came here in advance and waited for Li. Shao Daxia forced a smile, and replied: Mr. Li has won the prize. I, Shao, don't know how to do magic tricks. I followed you secretly from Guilin to Hengshan. You followed me for half a month? Yes, seventeen days to be exact. Why are you following me? He was ordered by Gao Gong, the chief assistant of the cabinet. Is the seat lord asking you to save me? save you?Seeing Li Yan's eyes full of expectations, Shao Daxia couldn't help but feel a little pity in his heart, but it was gone in a flash, and then he said politely, it is your seat lord, who asked me to teach you the method of liberation. What is the door of liberation. Shao Daxia stared at Li Yan, and said contemptuously: This is the second time you ask, and I will answer again, once everything is settled, everything is over, this is the way to escape. Li Yan was still confused, he scratched his forehead, and said to himself: Once everything is settled, what should I do? Shao Daxia saw that Li Yan was obsessed with obsession, and he didn't want to play around with him anymore, so he simply said clearly: Close your eyes and stretch your feet, isn't it all over? Li Yan was shocked when he heard this, and cried out: What, you want to kill me? Shao Daxia sneered and replied: It's not that I want to kill you, but you are looking for your own death. Li Yan was so frightened that his face was ashen, and he asked in an embarrassing manner: Why did I seek my own death? The reason is that you are too greedy for ink and let down the favor of Mr. Gao Ge for recommending you. Although Shao Daxia spoke in a low tone, he stabbed like a cold sword.Li Yan shuddered, and stammered: No, I wrote a letter to the host a month ago.Although I, Li, have little talent, I am by no means ungrateful. What did you say in your letter to Mr. Gao Ge? Li Yan hesitated to speak. Say it! Shao Daxia threatened again and again, Li Yanchang sighed, and said: Since you have such a relationship with the old seat owner, I don't need to hide it. I think the old seat owner is over sixty years old. Five thousand acres of land were purchased in the north and the south.The old host has supported and supported me for many years, and has a lot of trust. This can be regarded as a little affection for the teacher. After hearing Li Yan's confession, Shao Daxia sneered again, and said sarcastically: If you hadn't written that letter, you might still have a way to survive. It is this letter that will keep you in this world. Why, is the boss mainly killing me? Li Yan was trembling, and his tone of voice changed.Shao Daxia stared at him, and said word by word: Don't wrong Mr. Gao Ge.He sent me, Shao, to meet you this time, but he just wanted me to pass on a message to you, to go back to your hometown and stay honestly, to be a man with your tail between your legs, and repeatedly told me not to make things difficult for you.But I, Shao, have been with you for many days, and seeing your arrangements along the way, I feel that if you spare your life, it will be a disaster for Mr. Gao Ge. Shao Daxia, you? Mr. Li, I, Shao Ming, don't do secret things. I really don't want to let a corrupt official like you go.If you want to hate you, hate me Shao Daxia. At this point, Li Yan was already sweating profusely, and his survival instinct made him kneel on the ground, tearfully said: "Shao Daxia, I have no grievances with you, why do you treat me like this?" For Gao Ge's future, I, Shao, can only borrow your head. As soon as Li Yan heard this, he got up from the ground and ran, but at some point, two people came out and blocked the way with shining machetes.Li Yan wanted to yell for help, but one of them pointed a knife at Li Yan's throat and shouted in a low voice: "If you dare to shout, I will tell you to move your head immediately." Seeing this, Li Yan turned around and knelt down at Shao Daxia's feet, begging bitterly: "Shao Daxia, I have no grievances or enmities with you, and I hope to spare Li's life." If you don't die, Gao Ge's position as chief assistant is really hard to guarantee. If you die, there may be room for things to change.Master Li, Monk Baijing wants you to dedicate yourself to the Buddha, so you should stay in Fuyan Temple and practice your Baigu Zen. No Li Yan screamed, but he only uttered half a cry, before the slasher grabbed his throat with his hand.The other was even more nimble. He put the machete on the stone table, reached out and took out a white silk from his bosom, tied a slipknot around Li Yan's neck, and tied the other end to a tree. Pull, Li Yan hangs in the air immediately.The instinct to survive prompted Li Yan to kick his feet wildly, and the noose around his neck became tighter and tighter. After a while, the once famous Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi stuck out his tongue and died. Looking at Li Yan's body hanging on the tree, which was still shaking slightly, Shao Daxia put his palms together and recited Amitabha, then tore off the three long beards used for camouflage, and said to the two subordinates: Go, go down the mountain immediately! It was already the third watch when Li Yihe learned of Li Yan's death.In the middle of the night, the mountain road was steep and blurred, and he could neither ride a horse nor a sedan chair, so Li Yihe had to walk there under the escort of several soldiers.Although Nantai Temple is only three miles away from Fuyan Temple, the uphill road is all the same, Li Yihe is fat, and when he reaches the gate of Fuyan Temple, he is out of breath and his whole body is sweaty.Jiang Feng, who had been waiting in front of the mountain gate, stepped forward and knelt on one leg as a welcome.Li Yihe asked him out of breath: Why did Li Yan die suddenly? The humble official also felt strange, as soon as I heard that something had happened, I immediately sent soldiers to report to the adults. Jiang Feng answered in this way, Li Yihe didn't ask any more questions, and followed Jiang Feng to Gaomingtai.When it was dark, after Li Yihe learned that Li Yan lived in Fuyan Temple, he called Jiang Feng to the room and asked about the details.Then he took a famous card to Jiang Feng, asked him to go to Fuyan Temple to give it to Li Yan, and told him what he meant, and asked Li Yan to stay in Fuyan Temple for three days and not to go out. He came out to play, and said that he would invite Li Yan to dinner at Fuyan Temple after he had finished his official duties, so as to fulfill the friendship of the landlord.Li Yihe had two intentions in doing this. One was to prevent Li Yan from meeting with the imperial envoy, and the other was to keep him under house arrest on the mountain for a few days, and let Jiang Feng send someone to monitor his movements to see if he would show any signs.Although the abacus was well calculated, who would have thought that this unexpected and strange thing would happen within three hours. Walking to Gaoming Terrace, I saw that Li Yan was still hanging on the tree with a white silk.The accompanying sergeant lit a few torches, and by the light of the fire, Li Yihe saw the tragic scene of Li Yanxuan's tongue and eyes wide open, and couldn't help feeling sick. He turned his face away and shouted: Why is it still hanging on the tree, put it down quickly. The humble job is to let the adults look at it, uh, you put him down. With a wave of Jiang Feng's hand, a soldier jumped up and chopped off the white silk with a knife. There was a muffled plop, and Li Yan's body fell to the ground. Two soldiers carried him to the inside of the high platform, and brought him a sheet to cover up.Li Yihe took a look and asked: How could Li Yan come here to hang himself? Jiang Feng replied: Back to Mr. Li, according to his humble position, Li Yan did not hang himself, but committed suicide. Ah, how do you know? Listen to what the old monk said. Jiang Feng then told the story of how old monk Jueneng led Li Yan to Gaomingtai and met Gu He. So, the man who called himself Gu He was the murderer of Li Yan? Most likely. What about others? He ran away without a trace early, I have seen the footprints at the scene, it seems that Lone Crane is not the only one, please see this, my lord. Jiang Feng said as he took out a long beard made of three strands of ponytail. Li Yihe glanced at it and asked: What do you use the long beard that the old man used for singing? This was picked up at the scene, and according to the monk Juoneng, it was the lone crane hanging on the chin. So, Gu He had put on a disguise? Exactly. Li Yihe asked for a rough idea, thinking that there were two reasons for this murder case in his mind: one was a vendetta, and the other was murder for money.In terms of vendettas, Li Yan's enemies during his tenure as governor of Guangdong and Guangxi are nothing more than rebel bandit leaders Huang Chaomeng and Wei Yinbao.If they sent people to hunt down and kill Li Yan, they would have done it on the ground in Guangxi, why did they chase him all the way to Mount Heng, so the possibility of a vendetta is unlikely.On the contrary, there is a great possibility of murder.Jiang Feng had already said that Gu He was not the only one at the scene of the murder. Could it be that people around Li Yan colluded with foreign killers to do this?As the saying goes, Taoist thieves are hard to guard against, and although Li Yan can hide the fact that he was greedy for the army's salary and amassed a large amount of wealth from the world, it is impossible to hide it from his confidantes.Reasoning like this, Li Yihe suddenly became excited. He felt that taking the opportunity to torture the people around Li Yan might lead to a major ink corruption case that caused a sensation in the government and the public. Jiang Feng.Li Yihe shouted. Humble position. Who are around Li Yan? Two masters, one surnamed Dong, one surnamed Liang, and a small school named Li Wu brought ten sergeants and twelve sedan chairmen.Now the humble officials have detained all these people, and even the monks in the temple are under strict control. You did very well.Li Yihe applauded loudly, and then arranged, you hurry up and find a vacant room in the monastery, and bring the two masters here, and I will interrogate them overnight. yes. Jiang Feng turned to leave, but Li Yihe called him back again, pointed to the corpse covered by the bed sheet, and said: "This Li Yan, at any rate, also became the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi. , Sincerely regrettable.You send someone to find a high-quality coffin from a big family at the foot of the mountain, and restrain him.Grandly handing it over to his family can be regarded as an explanation. Jiang Feng took the order to leave, and Li Yihe also walked into Fuyan Temple and visited Elder Jueneng in the abbot's room.Fifteen years ago, Li Yihe and Zhang Juzheng traveled to Hengshan together, and at the Fuyan Temple, they saw Shenshan people were together, and Jueneng and Jueneng were reunited.It's just that the reunion was not at the right time, and Li Yan's death cast a terrifying atmosphere on the entire Fuyan Temple.Jue Neng looked dispirited, and after socializing with Li Yihe for a few words, he refused to speak again.Li Yihe guessed that Jueneng was afraid of being involved, so he tried to comfort him.While the two were drinking tea and grinding time, Jiang Feng came in and told that he had found a vacant room. What are you doing with a vacant room?Feel able to ask. Make a temporary court and call the people around Li Yan for interrogation. Amitabha.Jue Neng clasped his hands together, and said slowly, Buddhism is a pure place, it is a misfortune if there is a murder case, it must not be used in court again, and disturb the Buddha's uneasiness. Then Li Yihe knew that it is not easy to put on an official prestige in the temple, so he had to discuss in a low voice: Master Jueneng, if Li Yan's murder case is not tried overnight, I am afraid that the criminals will have a chance to escape. What about the house? If Gu He is not caught, what are these innocent people doing? If you don't interrogate these people, where can you find Gu He?Perhaps among these people, there happened to be Gu He's accomplice. Forget it, the Buddhist sect and the public sect are not close to each other, I can't control the affairs of the public sect, I just beg Mr. Li, don't treat the temple as a public hall, and desecrate the pure place of the Buddhist sect. The word "blasphemy" suddenly annoyed Li Yihe, he immediately sank his face, and said sarcastically: "The ancients are all over the world, could it be that they are kings?"This Fuyan Temple of yours is not outside the realm of Huayan, but also belongs to the territory of the king. I, Li, is not talented, and I am also ordered by the emperor. I have the responsibility to protect the environment and the people. Where else am I going? Jue Neng sighed and didn't speak, just closed his eyes and twisted the beads in his hand.Li Yihe clasped his fists at him, and said: Master Jueneng, it's not that Li wanted to offend you on purpose, but he has no choice but to do business.After finishing speaking, he turned around and followed Jiang Feng out, and walked to the Zhike Hall, which was temporarily used as the court, and saw the guards in Jinyi who had the right to serve as government servants standing still on the hatchback.Li Yihe walked to the square table and sat down, Jiang Feng asked: Sir, please show me, which one should I bring in first? Li Yihe asked: Look at the two masters, which one is more tricky? The one surnamed Dong. Okay, let's take Master Dong first.
