Chapter 495 When did Kaifeng mansion have such a powerful character?

Daxiangguo Temple.

If you go to Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty, you don't need to visit Pingkangfang, then you can't avoid the Daxiangguo Temple in Bianjing in the Northern Song Dynasty.

It is located in the center of Kaifeng Prefecture. It was originally built in the Northern Qi Dynasty and was originally named Jianguo Temple. Later, Emperor Ruizong of the Tang Dynasty named it Daxiangguo Temple in commemoration of his ascending to the throne from the King of Xiang.

In the Song Dynasty, Xiangguo Temple was respected by the royal family and expanded many times. Now it covers an area of ​​more than [-] mu and governs [-] Buddhist temples and law schools.

Yes, this No. [-] temple in the world is actually a group of monasteries. The monks in it are not even of the same school. There are Vinaya and Zen. The scriptures that everyone recites may not be the same, but they seek common ground while reserving differences, and usury can be issued together.

When Li Yan brought Lin San, Chen Wu and his party to the south gate of Daxiangguo Temple, apart from seeing the dark crowds in the temple like overseas, a few idlers came up and asked, "Do you want to print tickets? The top ten positions, Below a hundred guan, you can get it today, if you have a house mortgage..."

Chen Wu interrupted impatiently: "Let's go, bullying people from other states, they will be in line tomorrow, and I will give you money for nothing!"

The idle man was mainly looking at Li Yan's eyes, and seeing Chen Wu's appearance, he was about to retreat angrily, but Li Yan said: "Where is the old man Jiang who is in charge of recruiting?"

The idle man immediately smiled again: "The high-ranking officials want to recruit workers, we have them here, they are all excellent craftsmanship, and they are always available!"

Chen Wu scolded: "Whoever wants your rogue, lead the way for our young master to Old Man Jiang's place!"

The idle man did not refuse: "Okay, please come to the high officials!"

Today is not the day when Daxiangguo Temple trades five names every month. Many stalls have not been put out. Most of them are pilgrims offering incense and worshiping Buddha. With the local snake leading the way, a group of people crossed the path and soon came to a Buddhist temple. on the edge of the hall.

It is a good location, with a lot of traffic and not too congested. Many people are here to inquire about buying and selling, and some are watching Cuju. The four people in the middle are playing for nothing.

The so-called free play means that there is no need for a goal, and the head, shoulders, back, chest, knees, legs, and feet are used to complete various tricks.

Stars also often show their balls, but now the confrontation is higher. Four people can pass the same "ju", and each can kick a "ju". When it lands, whoever's "Ju" lands last is the winner.

When later generations saw it, they were so frightened that they quickly ate an extra bowl of sea cucumber.

However, the pursuit of goals is indeed different. At this time in Bianjing, there are many entertainers who rely on Cuju performances for a living. That one, these people really treat Cuju as a skill to maintain their lives, and their attitudes are naturally completely different.

The idle man didn't know how to appreciate this fancy kicking style, so he yelled loudly: "Old man Jiang, I have a guest!"

The four vagrants were still performing, and another wrinkled man came over with three or five people, and after nodding towards the idle man who led the way, he greeted: "Are you recruiting craftsmen, doing chores, or calling for a doctor?" Diagnose the pulse, play Cuju?"

Li Yan looked at the comer. Judging from the skin on his arms and his lean body, this person was actually not very old, but his face had many wrinkles, and he looked prematurely aging. No wonder he was called an old man.

However, "Hanzi" and "Old Man" in the Song Dynasty were actually quite contemptuous terms. Calling "Wu Na Hanzi" was actually equivalent to insulting people, and a young man called himself Old Man Jiang because of his old-fashioned appearance. First of all, it is unusual.

Just as Chen Wu was about to go forward, Li Yan stopped him with his hand, announced his name, and explained the purpose of his visit: "I really came here to inquire about something, and I'm disturbing old man Jiang."

The others immediately showed displeasure when they heard this. Why don’t you come to look for work clothes? The old man Jiang looked at Li Yan carefully, but he still said politely: "The official is very popular, it is an honor for the old man to make friends, if anyone can help Yes, just ask."

Li Yan asked: "The decoration of the restaurant outside the happy forest that sells Mei's pork skin is the craftsman introduced by the old man Jiang?"

Old man Jiang nodded: "Four craftsmen, with a half-month construction period, I introduced them."

Li Yandao: "The shop owner just told me that one of them is surnamed Zheng, with a Jianghuai accent, and he frequently looks at Happy Forest when he is working. Do you still have any impression of this person?"

The old man Jiang was a little displeased. He was like an intermediary platform. With his reputation in the streets and alleys, he introduced helpers. , this person is indeed not a skilled worker, but the asking price is only half of the other three people, and he made it clear at the time, how can you blame him?"

Li Yandao: "Don't get me wrong, the store didn't blame me. Although that man is slack in his work, he spends the longest time in the shop every day. Generally speaking, it's still a good deal. It's just that I'm a little curious about this craftsman Zheng. If you want to hire him for a period of time, can you introduce him?"

The old man Jiang turned his head to look at the other person. The person took out an account book, frowned after inquiring, and said, "Craftsman Zheng hasn't looked for us since he did the work of Mei's pork skin."

Li Yan asked: "Apart from the work of dried plum pork skin, where else has he worked?"

The man checked again, and quickly shook his head: "No, he just worked in that restaurant, probably because he felt that his skills were not good enough, and the wages were low, so he changed jobs?"

Old man Jiang didn't think so, his expression changed slightly, and the wrinkles on his face deepened: "Your official, did Craftsman Zheng do something wrong?"

Li Yandao: "It's hard to say at the moment, I wonder if there is a way to find out the whereabouts of this person?"

Old man Jiang turned around and said, "Have you noticed that craftsman?"

The big men around looked at each other, and one of them suddenly said: "His accent is also from Wu (wù) state, I have spoken to him a few words, and this man has also sought medical treatment."

The old man Jiang raised his brows: "I remembered that Craftsman Zheng seemed to have someone in his family who was seriously ill. At first, he really came to ask for a doctor's pulse. Later, he seemed to have no money to buy medicine, so he said that he had a skill and hoped to be able to work."

Li Yandao: "Which hospital did you introduce to him?"

The old man Jiang said: "It's not a medical clinic, but a medical practitioner from Jiangning Mansion. It is said that he practiced medicine from his ancestors. He claims to be good at treating difficult and miscellaneous diseases, and he can also wash away tattoo marks on his face. There are many people who meet him."

Li Yan frowned slightly: "What's the name of this doctor?"

The old man Jiang reported the name of the place: "This man's name is An Daoquan, and this is where he lives."

Li Yandao: "Thank you, old man Jiang, for telling me the truth!"

The old man Jiang clasped his fists, thinking that the conversation was over, but Li Yan continued: "I think after I leave, the old man Jiang will also ask many questions, why don't I say it first, in fact, there was a murder case in Happy Forest , its principal, Xiang, was killed, and now the Kuaiban archers of the Kaifeng Mansion have blocked the Happy Forest, and many people have been left behind for questioning, if they also chase here, I hope Old Man Jiang can be prepared."

The old man Jiang changed his face and asked nervously: "Which judge in Kaifeng Mansion is investigating this case?"

Li Yandao: "It's Judge Gongsun."

The old man Jiang immediately breathed a sigh of relief: "Judge Gongsun is good, he is always fair, and he will not wrong us and other small people..."

Li Yandao: "Judge Gongsun will not wrong a good person, but this investigation is serious, and he will definitely not let go of any clues."

"And the case of Happy Lin is very important. Then, Carpenter Zheng was introduced to work by you. If you bring you back to the Kaifeng government office to investigate the case..."

"Although every inch of land in this Daxiangguo Temple is not expensive, it is not easy to occupy this lot. You need to be prepared."

The old man Jiang was startled for a moment, and then moved in horror: "Thank you for your advice! Thank you for your advice!"

He naturally knows how hard it is for him to occupy this place, and how many enemies are secretly watching. Once he is brought into Kaifeng Mansion because of the investigation of the case, those who have long wanted him to leave must take advantage of the situation to spread rumors. When he comes out, Maybe all the good places are gone, that's really a disaster.

In this way, this person's point is too important, and there is a huge gap between being prepared and not being prepared.

Li Yan cupped his fists: "It's just a little effort! Farewell!"

Watching Li Yan and his party leave, old man Jiang immediately made arrangements, in case he was really taken away for investigation because of his relationship with Craftsman Zheng and did not return for many days, how to prevent rumors and harassment from his enemies.

This time, before half an hour had arrived, Gongsun Zhao arrived here in a hurry with Qiu Yuzuo and a group of policemen.

The old man Jiang greeted him immediately and saluted: "I have met Judge Gongsun!"

Gongsun Zhao narrowed his eyes slightly: "You know I'm coming? Did someone come here just now and tell you he's one step ahead of me?"

The old man Jiang was taken aback: "It's true that a senior official Lin came here just now, but that's not what he said..."

After listening to the old man Jiang repeating the whole story, Qiu Yuzuo couldn't help praising: "Mr. Lin is really thoughtful. You can even imagine whether this business place will be crowded after you are brought in for questioning. The people are suffering, and survival is not easy!"

Gongsun Zhao pursed his lips, and the coldness on his face became even more serious: "This case is of great importance. I really want to take you back to the Kaifeng government office for questioning, and I will not let go of any clues. But don't worry, I will never Let you suffer an unreasonable disaster, and it will naturally be arranged properly!"

The old man Jiang didn't believe it in his heart. Everyone stood from a different perspective. It was really rare to be considerate of others, so he bowed and said, "Yes! Yes!"

Qiu Wuzuo looked at this friend, but he laughed and said: "Now it seems that the suspicion of Craftsman Zheng is indeed very serious. Maybe he is not the murderer, but he is also very likely to be an accomplice. Now continue to chase An Daoquan from Jiankang Mansion. Is it? I'm afraid we have to slow down again..."

Gongsun Zhao endured and endured, finally snorted, and ordered his subordinates: "Go and investigate Lin Chong, and see when Kaifeng Mansion has such a capable man!"
