Red House Shoufu

Chapter 355
There are quite a few people holding crossbows, only about twenty people.

But facing these twenty crossbow arrows with cold light, Jiumozhi's forehead was covered with cold sweat.The monks of the Lamaism are carefully cultivated, they eat meat constantly, and they have the secret arts and martial arts in the teaching. Not to mention one is ten, in the face of ordinary soldiers, it is more than enough for one person to beat three or five people.

But this is the capital of the Central Plains, and the other party is the daughter of the Lin family who has the emperor bestowing the county head.Before the big event happened, he didn't dare to kill him at all.

"County Lin, you are so courageous! The Qincha Temple was built by a saint. If you are so presumptuous, aren't you afraid that the saint will punish you?"

Daiyu raised her head and glanced at the plaque hanging on the gate of Qincha Temple: "Decree to build Qincha Temple, but she didn't respond at all, raised her slender fingers, and directly ordered: "Attack!"

The imperial army pressed forward, and the crossbow arrows kept aiming at Jiumozhi and the other monks, forcing the opponents not to dare to move.Daiyu quietly watched the three hundred forbidden troops rush into the temple and surrounded the front yard of the main hall, and then she and Wei Ling, who had simply bandaged his wounds, entered the temple.

The action of the cabinet was still very fast, and the 1000 people of Youhabayashi came to the front of the temple in a short while.The leading Habayashi Wei Qianhu led a group of people into the temple, and bowed his hands after being surprised: "The last general, Yubayashi Wei Qianhu Niuben, paid homage to the county lord and met Lord Wei."

Although men are generally in charge of the Guochao, Daiyu is basically in charge of the overall situation today. Wei Ling stood half a step behind Daiyu with great winking, waiting quietly for this special county lord to speak.

"Niu Qianhu is free of courtesy, do you have any instructions from the cabinet elders?"

Daiyu's voice was clear and powerful, and her exposed eyes seemed to be shining brightly.

Daiyu, who has a slight Jiangnan accent, seems to be facing the beautiful scenery by the West Lake instead of swords and swords.Niu Ben could even feel that the county head of the Lin family, who was well-known in the capital, seemed to have the demeanor of a general's daughter even more than his own sister.

After being reminded by Wei Ling's light cough, Niu Ben recovered from his trance, and he responded: "The cabinet orders the last general, a thousand Habayashi Erlang, to wait for the county lord's order."

"Detain all the people in the Qincha Temple, and cooperate with the Minister of Rites, Zhong Wei, to tear down the overreach. If anyone obstructs the resistance, they will be killed without mercy!"

Daiyu's voice became more and more piercing, and at the end Niu Ben felt murderous.Sure enough, the Lin family didn't rely solely on poems and books to pass on the family. The old man was right, the Lin family has a ruthless spirit in their bones.

Lin Xianzhu, who looks like a fairy, said the words "Sha Wushe" out of her mouth, and even Niu Ben, the son of a general, felt a little dazed.

Daiyu thought that this Niu Qianhu was unwilling to obey her orders, so she frowned slightly and snorted coldly: "Why don't you go soon?"

Niu Ben hurriedly clasped his fists in response and said, "The last general obeys orders!"

"Zhang Wei, Luo Qiang, each of you will lead 200 people to obey Lord Wei's orders, and the rest will be guarded and detained!"

The hundreds of households of the left and right Habayashi Guards and Dragon Guards are mostly from the Wu Xun family, and they are proper confidantes of the emperor.Everyone is a family of close friends, and they are also called brothers on weekdays.

Niu Ben was born in the Duke of Zhen's mansion, and his father was the third son of Niu Jizong, the first-class uncle of the Duke of Zhen's mansion. After beating the brothers and sisters of the Lin family to Beijing, he often heard the elders talking about the Lin family.After arranging the tasks, stand aside and wait for the next order.

Nanny Zhang found a set of tables and chairs from the main hall, cleaned them and placed them under the shade of the trees, Daiyu sat down to rest, Xueyan even brought refreshments from the carriage, and started a tea ceremony.

Niu Ben also followed suit, but unfortunately he, a rough man, didn't get any tea, so he just found two chairs and sat in the shade of another tree to chat with his colleagues.As for Jiumozhi and others, Qi Qi was detained in several side halls, and the soldiers of the Imperial Army did not let them out at all.

Under Daiyu's instruction, Xueyan sent some refreshments to Niu Ben. Niu Ben and his colleagues got up and thanked each other, then sat down to taste it.

Hou Jinglong was born as a concubine of the Duke's Mansion of Xiu State, but he was born to learn martial arts, and he managed to become a fifth-rank vice-thousand-family martial artist by himself, and had a very good relationship with Niu Ben, the grandson of the Duke's Mansion.

The two of them sneaked a look at Daiyu who was sitting under the shade of a tree drinking tea, both sighed.

"Brother Sanniu, compared to County Lord Lin, the so-called talented women in Beijing are not worth mentioning at all. You can see that County Lord Lin is just sitting there quietly, like a fairy descended from the world, unstained by dust."

After hearing Hou Jinglong's evaluation, Niu Ben seldom did not refute, and nodded in response: "More than that, it is said that County Lord Lin is very good at poetry, and is proficient in historical books, Lin Liuyuan may not know as much as County Lord. It's a pity that she is actually a daughter, otherwise, just because of her decisiveness in killing, the Habayashi Guard might be able to fight the enemy with us as brothers!"

Hou Jinglong nodded, and then looked at Niu Ben in surprise: "You actually want to be brothers with County Lord Lin?"

"Then why not? Isn't there a white-robed young general Qiao Luocheng in the Sui and Tang Dynasties in the storybook? I think Lin County is mainly a man. Maybe our Dachu will also have a white-robed young general Qiao Lin... Woooooo! "

The more Hou Jinglong listened, the more he felt that Niu Ben's words were out of line. Before he finished speaking, he covered the other's mouth, and reminded in a low voice: "Don't dare to say any more. Be careful, Prince Zhongshun will hit your house with a knife!"

……

The golden dome on the main hall of Qincha Temple is almost covered with real gold. Although it is only a thin layer, it took more than five hundred guardsmen two hours to scrape the gold off the golden dome.

As for the gold paint on the roofs of other side halls, these Ministry of Industry have special gold-melting objects, but it is a pity that the gold is almost impossible to recycle.

When Jiumozhi and others came to the outside of the hall again, looking up, Qincha Temple no longer had the majesty and luxury of the past, but instead became a bit dilapidated, gray in the sun, without the feeling of a grand temple.

In order to buy time for the embroidered clothes guards in the back hall, Daiyu not only demolished the golden roof, but also changed back several other illegal places in the temple.

For example, the two bronze lions at the gate of the temple obviously surpassed the two at the gate of the imperial city in terms of size and material.

I think the Ministry of Household Affairs would be happy to take over the copper lion, after all, it can be made into a lot of copper coins after melting.The gold-plated Buddha statue in the main hall cannot be moved. Believe it or not, there are some taboos to avoid.

Just when the exhausted Daiyu was about to go back home, Lin Mastiff suddenly ran over and whispered to Daiyu: "Girl, Uncle Jiu said that a secret room was found in the back hall..."

After listening to Lin Mastiff's report, Daiyu, who was originally a little tired, suddenly changed her previous gentleness, and the killing intent in her eyes made Wei Ling, Niu Ben and others beside her startled.

"Master, I don't know what happened?"

After all, Wei Ling is the person in charge in name, and Daiyu explained to him in a low voice: "There is a secret room in the back hall, and there are many women locked in it, some of them are only eight or nine years old! Master Wei, please go and see for me. .”

Wei Ling naturally understood the reason why Daiyu asked him to go to the apse to inspect, after all, she was a boudoir girl, and there were some things that should be avoided.

"Niu Qianhu, everyone in the Qincha Temple has committed a crime of disrespect, and they are all escorted to Xiuyiwei Prison!"

Everyone who thought today's matter was over was shocked by Wei Ling's order. After all, the Qincha Temple was built by the emperor's decree. The crime of violating the system can be big or small.

It is impossible for the imperial court to punish Chincha Monastery too severely for such crimes. After all, the influence of Lamaism in Uzbekistan is beyond imagination.In the unlikely event that this causes unrest in Uzbekistan, no one will be able to bear the charge.

Jiumozhi looked at Wei Ling and Dai Yu viciously, and his heart was full of anxiety.Seeing that a big event is about to start, if he and others are sent to prison, if the secrets in the temple are discovered, everything will be in vain.

"Think twice, my lord. This Qincha Temple was built by a saint. There is no imperial decree, so you can't move it lightly!" Niu Ben was also stunned by the sudden situation, and quickly advised him in a low voice.

However, most of the people in the Ministry of Rites are tough-headed, and the information about Xiuyi Wei makes Wei Ling angry from the bottom of his heart.

He said sharply: "If something happens, I will take care of it. Hurry up!"

"Master, look at this..."

Niu Ben turned his gaze to Daiyu, wanting to ask for help from Daiyu, but unexpectedly, Daiyu's face was also covered with frost, and he shouted extremely bitterly: "Why don't you hurry up and do what Master Wei wants?"

Compared with Niu Ben's hindsight, Hou Jinglong is much smarter.He had already seen that the Qincha Temple might be involved in some serious case, so he hurriedly pulled Niu Ben to it.

Hou Jinglong pulled Niu Ben back a step, bowed down and bowed down: "The last general takes orders, and I will send them to prison!"

"Niu Ben led 500 people to stay, and let the people watching the excitement outside the temple disperse!"

Wei Ling could already imagine that if the girls in the secret room were seen by others, it would cause a lot of trouble in the capital, and it would bring huge troubles to both the imperial court and these poor women.

The imperial army was divided into three teams, one team went to disperse the people watching the excitement at the gate, and the other team followed Hou Jinglong to escort Jiumozhi and others.The rest of the people continued to search in the temple to see if there were any omissions.

A handwritten letter from Daiyu asked Madam Zhang to immediately take it to the palace and hand it to the imperial concubine.The embroidered clothes guard came to report that these poor girls were not fully clothed, they could only guard outside the secret room, and urgently needed support at this time.

……

"Lawless! Lawless!"

The imperial concubine was making lanterns and other things with several concubines to prepare for the festival. After reading Daiyu's request letter, she was shocked.

She waved her hand to make all the concubines retreat, and after she called Madam Zhang to inquire about what had happened, she said angrily, "Go ask Your Majesty, just say that I have something urgent to find him!"

After the emperor arrived, he was surprised by the angry face of the imperial concubine. The Yang family had hardly been so angry in these years, and the shards of the teacup on the ground were almost thrown at the door of the bedroom.

After he read Daiyu's appeal letter, his appearance was almost exactly the same as that of the imperial concubine: "You are so courageous, Nanny Zhang, you bring twenty palace nuns and nuns to assist Rong Jia in handling this matter!"

"Your Majesty, twenty people may not be enough. The county lord said that there are 40 people in that secret room alone, and many of the women are seriously ill. The embroidery guards are re-investigating, and it is estimated that there are other places where people are hiding. After all, there are no less than two hundred monks and soldiers in Qincha Temple alone."

As soon as Nanny Zhang finished speaking, the emperor became even more angry.

The imperial concubine asked the female officers around her to pick 100 people, and ordered the imperial hospital to choose an imperial physician who is proficient in gynecology to accompany the team.After Madam Zhang took people out of the palace, several servants had already gone to the cabinet and other places with the emperor's oral instructions.

Daiyu finally went to the secret room with Zhang Momo, and the scene presented to Daiyu was like purgatory on earth.

Those desperate faces made her unable to see the slightest bit of anger. These poor women seemed to be walking dead, one by one mechanically dressed under the care of the maids.

"County Lord, two more secret rooms were found near the bottom of the guest house, where no less than a hundred women were imprisoned."

Embroidery Guard's report again made Daiyu explode. She stood in the main hall of Qincha Temple and looked at the gold-plated Buddha statue in front of her, as if she was struggling.

"Brother Mastiff, give me your knife!"

"girl?"

Lin Mastiff finally handed over the knife in Daiyu's waist under Daiyu's cold eyes, only to see Daiyu swinging it vigorously, knocking down all the incense burners enshrined in front of the Buddha statue.

She still couldn't let go, and walked out with a knife in her hand.Lin Mastiff was so scared that he hurriedly followed, and at the same time said to the people beside him, "Go to the imperial city to find the Patriarch!"

The Lin family's carriage drove towards the imperial prison under the guard of the personal guards, even though Xueyan and Lin Mastiff tried to persuade her repeatedly, Daiyu, who has always been soft, was extremely stubborn today.

Along the way, Daiyu's mind was always filled with images of three secret rooms. She had seen a large number of refugees, whether in Suzhou or the capital, the scene of giving porridge had seen the suffering of the people.

But in the eyes of those refugees, she could still see a glimmer of hope for the future.Unlike those poor women, their eyes had nothing but dull despair.

With a creak, the carriage stopped slowly.

Daiyu lifted the curtain and got out of the carriage. Before Xueyan could even react, Daiyu had already walked to the gate of the imperial prison with a knife in her hand.

The four embroidered guards on duty immediately stopped Daiyu after being surprised: "My lord, this is the prison of the embroidered guards, did you go to the wrong place?"

If it were ordinary people, they would have beaten them up and driven them away long ago.But Daiyu's county lord's crown and noble temperament made them dare not act rashly, and reported to the inside while persuading her.

"The county lord is here to find someone, go and ask your town governor to come over!"

The edict prison was managed by the Fusi of Beizhen, Xiuyiwei. After a while, Li Jinsong, the Fusi of Beizhen, who was having a headache because of the monks from Qincha Temple sent by Weiling, greeted him.

"Xiaguan Xiuyi Weibei Town Fusi Town Governor Li Jinsong pays homage to Rongjia County Lord!"

Seeing that Daiyu was still holding a knife in his hand, Li Jinsong thought it was Wei Zhong's bluster who provoked her.

"Did someone offend the county magistrate? I will help you teach him a lesson!"

Dai Yufu returned the salute, and then bluntly told what happened in Qincha Temple: "Master Li, the county magistrate has taken the liberty to come here, and I have nothing else to ask, but to avenge those poor girls!"

She handed the knife in her hand to Li Jinsong: "Just use this knife. I am a woman and I have no strength to restrain a chicken. Let this knife tell those scumbags what is the law of heaven!"

Even though Li Jinsong had seen too many tragic events, he was angered by Daiyu's words.He took the long knife from Daiyu with both hands, bowed and said, "Don't worry, the county magistrate, I will definitely make their lives worse than death!"

"Yu'er!"

After receiving the letter, Lin Shu rushed over quickly, got off his horse and strode to Daiyu's side.Before he could speak to Li Jinsong, Daiyu called "brother" and tears flowed down his face.

Lin Shu touched her head, Lin Mastiff briefly explained what had happened, and Li Jinsong also said that he would obey Daiyu's request and "take good care" of the group of people detained in the Imperial Prison.

The brothers and sisters did not go to the Qincha Temple again, because the Xiuyiwei had turned the Qincha Temple upside down, not only found three huge secret rooms, but also a large number of armor and swords.

Things went beyond the emperor's expectations. The capital was under martial law before the sound of the evening drum. The imperial army took to the streets to guard the streets, and a large number of embroidered guards were dispatched. It was not until noon the next day that the temporary calm was restored.

Nanny Zhang returned home the next morning and talked with Daiyu for a long time in the room, sighing continuously.Lin Shu deliberately asked for a day off to stay with Daiyu at home, and at the same time, he also found out all the things that happened in Qincha Temple yesterday.

Xu Shi Daiyu has grown a lot, and now that things have happened, what she cares most about now is the future of these women.The Lin family sent a lot of cloth and other things to the Huangzhuang where these women were housed, but they were all sent by the three nuns separately.

The imperial concubine summoned Daiyu to enter the palace, and the two chatted for a whole afternoon. By the time Daiyu left the palace, her mood had gradually calmed down.

Daiyu looked out the bustling street through the car window, and said to herself: "Under this brilliance, I don't know how much darkness is hidden..."

Nanny Zhang comforted: "At least there are still many people like the county master spreading the light. Everything has hope. The county master should not be too sad."

Daiyu sighed, and looked at the gradually setting sun: "Maybe, but my ability is ultimately limited, I just don't know if the imperial concubine can persuade Your Majesty!"
