Chapter Thirty-Seven Shocking the Snake 1

Liu Zhiqing accepted Zhao Yuan's plan, and early the next morning, she called Liu Zhiqing to go with her. Liu Fu, Liu Rong, and Zhao Yuan were accompanying her, but Zhang Tianyin did not accompany them.

Liu Zhiqing, who was originally lively and lively, suddenly turned into a docile kitten next to her sister, as if she had suddenly transformed from a runaway wild horse into a Xiaojiabiyu, walking honestly beside her.

After the group arrived at Baoguo Temple, they went straight to the Main Hall. As a relatively famous temple in Hangzhou, there is never a shortage of pilgrims and believers here, and it is particularly lively. There are also some ladies and gentlemen of dignitaries among the crowd. Even if they come to worship the Buddha, every one of them is there.

Also dressed up carefully.

However, when the sisters of the Liu family appeared, they instantly overshadowed them, and many people turned their attention to the two of them.

Liu Zhiqing had long been accustomed to this kind of scene, and with a normal expression on her face, she slowly walked into the main hall, respectfully burned incense and kowtowed, and then added money for sesame oil. This was a hundred taels, which was quite generous.

After that, she asked the little novice monk next to her: "Is Master Wenkong in the temple?"

The young novice clasped his hands together and said, "The abbot is at the Jingxin Pavilion. Donor Liu, please!"

The Jingxin Pavilion is located behind the Main Hall. There is a separate courtyard here. Even other pilgrims are not allowed to come in and out at will. However, Liu Zhiqing and Abbot Wenkong have known each other for many years, and every time they refill the fragrant oil, they spend extra money. They have long been from Baoguo Temple.

As distinguished guests, there are naturally no restrictions.

At this moment, in the Jingxin Pavilion, Wen Kong, who was wearing a red cassock, was sitting cross-legged on a futon. There was a tea set in front of him. He carefully poured the tea in the teapot into a small cup.

The green tea rolled gently in the cup, like a piece of beautiful jade.

In front of him was a small copper kettle placed on a small charcoal stove. The water in the copper kettle was now roasting and steaming.

When Liu Zhiqing and others just stepped into the courtyard, he had already noticed it. He raised his eyes and took a look, and instantly glanced at Liu Zhiqing and others who were coming. However, when he saw Zhao Yuan, his hand trembled slightly and his eyes stayed for a moment.

, even after taking it back, he still concentrated on pouring the tea.

After a while, Liu Zhiqing walked into the Jingxin Pavilion, clasped her hands together and said, "The faithful woman Liu Zhiqing pays homage to the master."

Wen Kong put down the teapot in his hand, clasped his hands together and said, "Amitabha, Donor Liu, you're welcome, please sit down."

Liu Zhiqing also followed his example and sat cross-legged on the futon opposite Wen Kong. She looked at the teacup on the table and said, "Abbott, is this West Lake Longjing?"

Wen Kong nodded and said: "It is the West Lake Longjing gifted by Donor Liu. The small temple has nothing to offer to entertain the distinguished guests, so it can only borrow flowers to offer to the Buddha. Please forgive me, Donor Liu."

Liu Zhiqing said: "Abbott, you're welcome. This West Lake Longjing is originally a common thing, but after the abbot cooked it in this way, it turned rotten into something magical. The female believer thought that even the nectar from the immortal family was nothing more than this. Abbot, please!"

As she spoke, she picked up the teacup on the table. At that moment, a small drop of water on the table caught her eye. A look of surprise flashed across her eyes, and she returned to normal in an instant, and took a slow sip.

West Lake Longjing tea is always a high-quality tea, and the one Liu Zhiqing gave Wenkong was even more rare. As a member of the Liu family, she naturally knows how to drink tea. Of course, it is not like drinking tea from a cow. It has to be savored carefully, let alone a person like Wenkong.

forward.

After drinking a cup, Liu Zhiqing put the tea cup on the table, and Wen Kong picked up the teapot and slowly poured tea into her cup. At the same time, she asked: "I heard a few days ago that Miss Er met an assassin at the teahouse. Is this true?

?”

Originally he didn't ask about it. According to Zhao Yuan's plan, Liu Zhiqing had to take the initiative to ask. Now of course it would be best for him to ask. Hearing this, Liu Zhiqing nodded and said: "It does happen, but fortunately there is no danger, and my sister-in-law is fine.

Not injured."

Wen Kong put down the teapot, made a gesture of invitation, and then asked: "Can we find out the origin of this moment?"

Liu Zhiqing sighed slightly, shook her head and said: "There was something left at the scene, which was a black sword. It was later confirmed that this sword should belong to the ghost sword Wang Quan. In addition, there is a survivor. He is currently being treated at Liu's house until he recovers.

After a rigorous interrogation, we will surely find out something."

Those monks who couldn't escape in Huayuan Temple all took poison and committed suicide. It can be seen that the rules of the Brahma Sect are extremely strict, and they would rather die than be captured alive, so Zhao Yuan asked Liu Zhiqing to lie to Wen Kong and lie to him that he had a chance to survive.

Generally speaking, if the information is leaked, people will be sent to silence them.

Zhao Yuan never thought that Wen Kong would send someone to silence him. This was just a small introduction.

Wen Kong whispered the Buddha's name and said, "I hope Donor Liu will be compassionate..."

Liu Zhiqing's face darkened and she said: "Compassion? They didn't have any compassion when they attacked my sister-in-law. As long as this person has a breath, I will dig out anything I want from his mouth! My Liu family is in the world.

Even though you are somewhat famous, how can you let people trample on you at will?"

Previously, Liu Zhiqing seemed to be a polite and courteous lady, but now Liu Zhiqing is the head of the family. In her eyes, the dignity of the Liu family cannot be violated.

Wenkong was abruptly interrupted. When Liu Zhiqing finished speaking, he was about to speak. At this moment, the little novice monk who had led Liu Zhiqing and his party ran in out of breath. He ran up to Wenkong and said: "Master Abbot

, Oh no, a group of Jinyi guards came outside and said they were going to search the temple and drive all the pilgrims out."

"Jinyiwei?"

Wen Kong's expression also changed slightly, he stood up and said to Liu Zhiqing: "Donor Liu, there are important matters in this temple, so I can't accompany you, please forgive me."

Liu Zhiqing stood up and said: "Master, please."

After Wenkong left in a hurry with the little novice monk, Liu Zhiqing looked at Zhao Yuan and asked, "Follow me!"

Zhao Yuan quickly followed him. After the two of them walked out for a while, Liu Zhiqing said, "Did you arrange it?"

Zhao Yuan chuckled and said, "I just have a few acquaintances and friends. I'm just asking them for a favor."

Liu Zhiqing said: "You really have a wide range of friends. Jin Yiwei has friends."

In Liu Zhiqing's eyes, Jin Yiwei was just a lackey of the imperial court, and he did not have a good impression of them.

Zhao Yuan completely ignored the sarcasm in these words and said: "Isn't this a good saying? The more friends you have, the easier the road! The woman rescued from Huayuan Temple in the capital was a princess of the current dynasty. The current emperor ordered Jin Yiwei Che

To investigate this matter, I just gave them a small piece of news, saying that Baoguo Temple might be an accomplice of that group of monks. They would naturally send people to turn the place upside down. If they can't find it today, they will come again tomorrow.

"

Liu Zhiqing asked: "What can they do if they come here every day? Can they find Xie Zhiyuan who is imprisoned?"

Zhao Yuan smiled and said: "Baoguo Temple is so big, it is entirely possible that there is a secret room just like the capital city. How can it be so easy to find it? But as the saying goes, don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the worst. Jin Yiwei is notoriously difficult to deal with.

So I used this method to force them to transfer Xie Yuanzhi, and then we could keep an eye on them secretly."

When Zhao Yuan explained this, Liu Zhiqing understood in her heart. She nodded slightly and said, "But if they don't transfer Xie Zhiyuan, wouldn't it mean that their plan would have failed?"

Zhao Yuandao: "If it fails, it will fail. Just think of a way."

Liu Zhiqing said: "You are very open-minded."

Zhao Yuan smiled and said: "Of course I can see quickly. The person who is locked up is not my son. Whether he, Xie Zhiyuan, is alive or dead has nothing to do with me. I am not a martial arts hero who suppresses people.

I don’t think it’s my duty to heal the wounded and rescue the wounded, and to act chivalrously and righteously. Okay, young lady, why don’t you go to the front and see what’s going on now?”

When Zhao Yuan, Liu Zhiqing and others arrived, the entire Baoguo Temple was already in chaos.

About a dozen Jin Yiwei suddenly stormed into the Baoguo Temple with their weapons and began to expel the pilgrims in the temple. Suddenly, the supposedly peaceful temple was suddenly filled with dark clouds. The Jin Yiwei were quite prestigious, even though the pilgrims were very dissatisfied.

, and could only leave in a hurry.

In just a moment, Baoguo Temple returned to calm. Except for Zhao Yuan and his party, the rest of the pilgrims had been driven out, and the two guards in golden clothes closed the temple door and stood there like door gods.

At this moment, Wen Kong had already hurried over with the young novice monk. He announced the Buddha's name and said: "The poor monk Wen Kong, the abbot of Baoguo Temple, doesn't know what happened. It requires the official to mobilize troops and mobilize people like this."

Jinyiwei Xiaoqi looked him up and down and said, "You came just in time. Call all the monks over immediately."

Wen Kong said: "Why is this?"

Jinyiwei Xiaoqi snorted coldly and said: "I received a tip that an important criminal from the imperial court has hid in your temple, so we must search carefully. In addition, I have to suspect that he is disguised as a monk here.

Therefore, it must be verified one by one. Don’t say anything more. If you don’t summon all the monks immediately, you will be treated as a party member!”

Then, ignoring Wen Kong, he ordered to the surrounding Jinyi guards: "Search carefully for me, and pay special attention to see if there are any secret passages. Don't be careless at all."

I think Zhao Yuan used this trick at Huayuan Temple. If the monk could tell what happened, and this was one of the secret strongholds of the Brahma Sect, he would definitely know what Jin Yiwei was going to do.
