Those years when I hunted demons in Dali Temple

Chapter 58
"Your Majesty, it's been so long, there must be an explanation!" The Minister of Rites asked anxiously, he looked pitiful with sparse gray hair.Most of his life savings were gone, and he couldn't even find the coffin, so he was in no hurry.

This time when the Great Zhou Dynasty was established, he had done a great job in arranging all kinds of ceremonies properly. The saints looked at him highly. No one wanted to trouble him at this time. No matter how hard Jing Zhaoyin's back is, he can't afford , they did not break the law!
At the end of the words of the Minister of Rites, each of the six departments had a servant, who also cried and asked about their property.

Zuo Silang also came out and said: "Your Majesty, when will the Jingzhao Mansion be able to recover the lost property? These things happened at the beginning of the new dynasty, and it may damage the reputation of Dazhou!" After that, many people jumped out and nodded. go along!

The coldness in the saint's eyes disappeared in a flash, and he regained his amiable expression, patiently listening to the old ministers cry.

He was a bit big-headed, although Zuo Silang's words were not pleasant, but one thing he said was indeed a problem.At the beginning of the Great Zhou Dynasty, there were so many ministers whose homes were stolen. After nearly four years of investigation, they still found nothing.

The county magistrates have been changed, and now the magistrates of the two counties in Chang'an can't sleep or eat well. The two former county magistrates in front of them are already in prison. Just wait for more than three years.

Now it's their turn to investigate, but there is still no clue.

Those treasures seemed to have grown legs and flew away out of thin air.If they want to write it like this, they will roll up the quilt and leave tomorrow!
The already old faces of the two looked even older.

If this continues, the two of them will have to submit their resignations!
Oh!It also includes their immediate boss, Jing Zhaoyin!
The two of them were brought up again today for questioning. In the past, if they had the chance to go up, who would be so unhappy that they would laugh out loud, but in this case, they would rather give the chance to someone else.Who falls in love with whom!

Jing Zhaoyin's hair changed from gray to white hair occupying the top of his head.At least the magistrates of the two counties don't have to see those people all day long, but he is different. As long as he goes to the court, he will be questioned about the whereabouts of his family's belongings and how he found out.

As long as the family is richer, Jing Zhaoyin wants to give them a copy of the list from his own warehouse!It is another matter to escape the spit of a group of old men and be hunted down by Mrs. Jing Zhaoyin in Chang'an City!
Jing Zhaoyin and Sheng Shang looked at each other, and the two had a feeling of sympathy for each other.

Several of those people were ex-officials, and they must have lost a lot of property, so they wanted to get it back.The new dynasty does not overthrow the old hatred, they did not really harm anyone at the beginning, and it is also a skill to keep 'own' property when the old and the new are replaced.

The resurgence of the new dynasty will not be without these people. If they do not violate the laws of the Great Zhou, there will be no incidents of killing donkeys.

Therefore, this property has to be found!

They still have to bear the saliva of those old men!

Jing Zhaoyin came out tremblingly, facing the minister who had lost his belongings, the eyes of the two subordinate officials and county magistrates were on his back, and he said with some difficulty, "Your Majesty, old minister—old minister—" is incompetent.

"Your Majesty, the Minister of Dali Temple has arrived!"

"Hurry up!" The saint couldn't wait.

Jing Zhaoyin also heaved a sigh of relief, he really didn't want to lose his old face in the Tai Chi Hall!In the future, if something happens to Wang Xuanzhi, he can not be so tight-lipped. People in the court should help each other, so that they can serve the court better!
When one of Wang Xuan entered the Taiji Hall, Jing Zhaoyin, who was usually very picky about him, almost covered his eyes with the creases on his face. He deeply suspected that if it was not in the main hall, this old man would pounce on him and attack him. He kisses.

Could it be that the faults of the little lady in Chang'an also infected this old man?

Wang Xuanzhi tried his best to keep his eyes straight, and walked to the hall, "The Minister of Dali Temple sees Your Majesty!"

"Get up, please get up!" the saint hurriedly said.

Ministers: As expected of the family who let His Majesty into Chang'an, look at this favor, they want it too!

Wang Xuanzhi thanked him for getting up, "I also ask Your Majesty to forgive me, there is a reason why I am so late today."

The courtiers realized it at this time, they always felt that they were not strong enough to go to court today, and now they saw that they were all gray and white heads, oh, the saint is not old, but he is not young either, the crown prince can take over the throne at any time.

It turns out that there is no one who is unique.

The Minister of Rites said with a smile: "The Minister of Dali Temple has always been different. This matter of going to court is also different from us. It is a common occurrence."

Wang Xuanzhi looked back, good guy, a group of people had black eyes, and thinking of which workshop they lived in, he silently said sorry, and there was an old minister with a wound on his forehead, so it can only be said that it was hard work.

His eyes finally fell on the face of the Minister of Rites, and he smiled with some meaning, "Your servant is indeed guilty. This morning, the three of us found a cave in Taiyi Mountain with Chen Yizhi and Wu Zuodao, the bad commander of Dali Temple. Jewels of half a cave."

"I see one of them, it looks familiar." Wang Xuanzhi took out a turquoise jade wrench, "If I remember correctly, it should belong to Li Shangshu."

Li Shangshu's expression changed, and he subconsciously touched his right thumb. There was a jade wrench that he had worn for many years. One night three years ago, when he woke up from a sleep, the things in his hands were gone.

His mood was not going well for several days, and he couldn't find it after searching for a long time. He could only go to the warehouse to find another one, but the one he raised before was gone, and he was still not used to it. The thief simply had no conscience. He even touched the things in his hands.

"What a minister of Dali Temple, your Majesty's eyesight to know people is really a blessing for me." Li Shangshu swallowed his mouth full of fragrance, and only exhaled a few breaths.

Ministers: What a shameless Minister of Rites, what to do, they are a little worried about the future of Dazhou.

Li Shangshu doesn't care what other people think, as long as his lost property is back, that is real.It's just boasting, he's very good at it, and it doesn't take much effort, it's much easier than scolding people, sometimes it's not good to blush and make yourself angry.

The sage was also overjoyed, nodding repeatedly, "Wang Aiqing is indeed a capable minister of the Great Zhou, where are those jewels now?"

"Dali Temple."

If it wasn't for the court time, the courtiers who lost their belongings wanted to rush to Dali Temple immediately and take all their belongings home, lest people take a second look and lose them again?
"Did Siqing catch the thief?" Jing Zhaoyin was the most sober one. He still remembered that he had been looking for it for several years, and the people in the yamen were almost killed. You found it when you went up a mountain?

Wang Xuanzhi bowed, "Your Majesty, this is another matter that I want to say."

"Prelude!"

"This matter is too mysterious, please move to Dali Temple, Your Majesty—"

"I'm going together!" The sage is in the world on horseback, he has a chance to leave the palace, he doesn't want to let it go, and won't let Wang Xuanzhi talk about it, how mysterious can it be?Besides, everyone has been arrested in Dali Temple. With them here, what problem can there be?
The monarch and his ministers are strictly guarded against going out of the palace.

Dali Temple was very lively at this time, a group of people surrounded the backyard, delaying the day's official duties.

The sage frowned when he saw this, how could this Dali Temple be so slack, but he was attracted by the thieves and jewels, so he didn't pursue it immediately, and under his signal, Zhang De went to pick up the group of Dali Temple officials.

"Hey - what are you pulling me for?"

"Stay away from me."

"That's right, don't jump in line!"

Without looking back, a group of people pushed Zhang De away without even thinking about it.

"Ahem..." Zhang De cleared his throat and shouted, "The saint is here!"

The place was silent.

All the subordinate officials in Dali Temple were jostling around just now, commenting a few words from time to time, but by the time they realized it, their knees had already stopped functioning.

When everyone knelt down, they were half a head shorter, revealing the whole picture that was blocked by them.

Vomit——At first glance, the courtiers thought it was a bad taste of Dali Temple.

How could this clean room become larger in the backyard of the Lisi Temple?

Looking at it again, I can't help but stand on end, I'll go!
Such a long snake, scorched to a crisp, with its skin ripped apart, lay neatly there.There were dozens of boxes around, and there was only a small space left in the entire backyard. If today was a grand court meeting, this space would not be enough for them to stand.

"Wang Aiqing, what is the meaning of this?" The sage rejoiced that the crown on his head was neatly worn, suppressing the bristling strands of hair.

Wang Xuan stepped forward and replied, "Your Majesty, this long snake is the thief."

Good guy, the county magistrates of Chang'an and Wannian couldn't help giving their thumbs up in secret. They are really young and promising, and their courage is commendable. They have done what they have always wanted to do and dare not do, and have always wanted to say.

Really a warrior.

"Stop talking nonsense, Wang Siqing. If you can't catch anyone, you'll find a beast to replace him. Is this the way Dali Temple handles cases?" An old minister really couldn't stand it anymore. Fame and fortune, can do anything.

Wang Xuanzhi didn't panic when he was questioned, he said: "The stolen property was all found in the long snake cave, and he is not just an animal, he has already turned into a human form, walking among the crowd, he is no different from ordinary people .”

Jing Zhaoyin has also seen many strange cases, but this is the first time he has encountered such a strange case. He wanted to refute it, but thinking of what happened in the Tai Chi Hall before, he still kindly rescued the other party, "Wang Siqing said so, what's the matter?" evidence?"

"This long snake has gone to Xiaochunxiang several times, and spent these belongings. Some of you can go and find out whether it is a person or a snake, what kind of appearance it is, and his actions in the city. You can also find out. You can go to Taiyi Mountain to investigate, but there is no trace of living people.

Remember to rule out the imprints that the talents of Dali Temple have been there.

There are only traces of the life of the long snake in Taiyi Mountain. I would like to ask everyone present, who has the ability to take away the belongings in the cave little by little without disturbing the long snake? "Wang Xuanzhi asked, pointing to the snake head that was thicker than a human waist.

They are all old with old arms and legs, and those who can fight are fighting in all directions. They are full of food, so they want to go to death, fight with snakes, normal ones are hundreds of times smaller, and it may not work. ah.

"Wang Siqing is right. The nature of a snake is obscene, so it's normal to love Xiao Chunxiang." Li Shangshu said with a smile, as if he had seen it, but he didn't believe it, but the belongings were just opened there. He has seen several familiar things.

A group of old cabbage clappers, in order to get back the lost property as soon as possible, can't help but agree. The saint doesn't believe it, but the unsolved case that has been dragging on for several years has been solved, so the thief is this long snake. Let people go in private You can also check.

Wang Xuanzhi thought, these old cabbages are the real old monsters, when will Dao Yi come and collect them.

"Your Majesty, the long snake is not an animal. He is a monster in the mountains. My secretary, Dao, can prove that she was able to recover the property this time because she used the long snake's breath as a sensor to find Mount Taiyi."

"Isn't Wu Zuo an autopsy? Why is there a monster involved?" Jing Zhaoyin felt that the more the story was made, the more outrageous it became.

The sage paid attention to something else, "Is that Wu Zuo the Taoist you mentioned before?"

"Yes."

"Zhang De, hurry up and announce people."

---

The servants left and returned, and the courtiers had replaced the officials of Dali Temple, discussing around the long snake.

Dao didn't rest as soon as she went back, her spiritual power went through her body once, and the fatigue from staying up all night was gone. She was about to absorb the snake crystal when she heard someone knocking on the door, and then followed to Dali Temple.

There was a bad person among the people who came, and while she was not paying attention, he secretly told her about it. It turned out that the saint did not believe that there were monsters and ghosts in this world, and wanted her to prove that Daoyi was always thinking about what to do on the way. prove.

Master said not to let ordinary people know, just to prevent them from panicking.

Daoyi was very conflicted at first, but in front of a group of Zhu, Zi, Fei, Lu, and Qing, she instantly lost her psychological burden, and the one standing in the middle had a faint purple light lingering on her body.

These people are in high positions, so they have to bear the wind and rain above, and they should.

Daoyi took Bi Fangniao out of the bag, "Little fat man, spit fire."

Little Bifang opened his mouth and vomited in a half-dream, and a small fire dragon went straight to the saint.

"Escort! Escort quickly!" The forbidden army was about to squeeze in with their spears in hand. There was no room for them to squeeze in. After the saint narrowly avoided it, he swung the forbidden army back.

He said: "Wang Aiqing, many animals have their abilities, it's not a big deal."

"You little old man is an animal. This deity is a divine beast, the kind from ancient times." Little Bi Fang opened his eyes, and closed them again after cursing.

Dao squeezed its mouth with a calm expression on his face, vividly expressing the image of a master outside the world.But in my heart I scolded Bi Fang to death, the saint got angry, and they all had to go underground to eat dirt.

She said indifferently: "Your Majesty, please take care."

He patted little Bi Fang on the head to let him breathe fire, and then used a small amount of earth spirit power to form a thunder spell with little power, and used the water control technique to break it into pieces, re-engraving the technique of that night, boom With a bang, it struck the long snake.Afterwards, the long snake had scars similar to the one next to it.

Such a miraculous technique has attracted the attention of the monarch and his ministers.

This must have been made by a fairy.

"Your Majesty, did you see it? That's how we killed it last night. He destroyed several parts of the Qixiamen Tongqu," Wang Xuanzhi thought about it and added, "This matter is for Chaoyan. , and ask Your Majesty to allocate funds for repairs."

A few veterans glared at him with black eye circles. They hadn't slept all night. It turned out that these people were making trouble in the middle of the night!
Hubu Shangshu was watching the excitement, when he heard about the money, he subconsciously covered his purse tightly, and said: "Your Majesty, the border wars are tense right now, and every penny of money is very important, Dali Temple has recovered your belongings for everyone, how about How about letting them do their best?"

I don't know the exact extent of the damage, but I was very happy to find the lost property, Zuo Silang said, "Let's do what Lu Shangshu said," Li Shangshu and others nodded in agreement.

"Your Majesty, there are other monsters in Chang'an City right now, so please allow Dali Temple to act on the cheap." After solving the problem of compensation, Wang Xuanzhi still needs to deal with the consequences of catching monsters in advance, so that he doesn't have to be restrained if he encounters what happened last night.

Dao Yilu's skill surprised everyone, but they were still skeptical. The monks on the mountain practiced something like immortality. They believed it, but they didn't believe that those beasts had attained the Tao.

They are smarter than animals, why didn't they get the Tao?This is obviously not normal.Although they had doubts, the word "monster" finally entered their hearts, and they only waited for one day to take root and sprout into a big tree.

Saints think more.

When Wang Xuanzhi came back from Pu County, he wrote a private scripture.

A compromise is that there is a man-eating octopus that takes the form of a woman and intercepts them on the road.At first, he only thought it was a flood in Pu County, and the miracles he encountered were somewhat exaggerated in the excerpts.

There is also the matter of monkeys eating people in Ningmin County, and Cui Erlang. The difference from the Dali Monastery is that Wang Xuanzhi explained the situation to him in private. Cui Erlang was possessed by a monster. Act in name.

As far as we can see today, there are actually more than one strange-shaped monsters in the world.Moreover, the long snake turned into an ordinary man who went to the brothel. The original shape was too bizarre, and it didn't look like a serious snake.

If there are monsters in the world, how can ordinary people fight against them, and how should they deal with them when Da Zhou arrives?

If all monsters can take human form and walk freely in Chang'an and even the entire land, are there any monsters in the court and the common people?

The sage's eyes fell on the courtiers, full of doubts. When he goes to the court, if he calls Li Shangshu at the court, a pig that can walk upright will come out, and another Lu Shangshu will come out, and another pig will come out. son's donkey.

The whole week is an animal breeding ground.

The saint could hardly think about it anymore, he didn't want to talk to animals all day long.I was afraid that I couldn't help it, so I dragged out these animals, oh no, the old ministers, and chopped them up.

Even if there are no more in the future, there are only these special ones, but what if they still exist?
Be prepared.

Since the Li family won the world, they must protect the people of the Great Zhou and the mountains and rivers of the Great Zhou.

The sage looked at all the courtiers as if they were on their backs, and finally said, "Wang Aiqing's words are reasonable. You can't believe what you don't have in everything, but rather believe what you have. When we govern the Great Zhou, we should not be anxious when encountering things we don't understand." To deny, but to face.

There are monsters in Chang'an City, I have a conclusion in my mind.

When I return to the palace, I will issue an order. "

"Your Majesty Shengming."

The fans shouted like a tsunami until the sage left Dali Temple.

"Wang Siqing still has a solution. When encountering problems that cannot be solved, there are monsters who can explain them." Li Shangshu retrieved the lost property, and was very happy to "praise" a few words. Huhushengfeng.

The veteran censor, the doctor of the imperial censor, is the toughest person on weekdays. He can't bear to cheat and cheat. Before leaving, he hesitated to speak, and finally said nothing.

A group of hula la left.

Soon a group of people came with a whimper, and took away the repair money at Qixiamen Street, and took away the property belonging to each family.After the owners received the list, less than half of their belongings remained after the compensation, and they almost died of anger.
