The Tang Dynasty started from saving Empress Changsun

Chapter 54
Today is the day when Zixiao Temple opens to accept pilgrims. Everyone is very nervous. After all, it is the first time that they are afraid of making mistakes. Before dawn, everyone gets up and starts to prepare.

Clean up, check for omissions...

Chen Jingke was also a little apprehensive. When he was practicing Tai Chi with Sun Simiao, he missed the number of times several times because of distraction.

Especially when Yang Tianlu came to report: "You two real people, there are many people outside, all of whom are powerful and powerful families in Beijing."

Chen Jingke's heart was beating wildly, he simply stopped and said, "Who are there?"

Yang Tianlu was also a little nervous, and said: "Mrs. Xu Guogong (Gao Shilian), Mrs. Qi Guogong, Mrs. Wei Guogong (Fang Xuanling), Concubine Ren Chengwang (Li Daozong)..."

He reported dozens of names in one go, either from the clan or the family members of the founding meritorious family members, and those with slightly smaller official positions were even more numerous. According to visual inspection, there were hundreds of people.

There are even more ordinary people, and everyone wants to enjoy the blessing of the medicine king and living gods.

Chen Jingke was also a little surprised: "What are they trying to do? Master and I have no official or job, is it worth it?"

Yang Tianlu smiled and didn't answer. The power comes from the top. When it reaches a certain level, what everyone sees is not the actual power, but the influence on the emperor.

Sun Simiao was not affected in the slightest, and said unhurriedly after finishing a set of Taijiquan: "Don't panic, everything is business as usual. No matter who comes, they are all pilgrims who enter Zixiao Temple."

His words seemed to have some kind of magical power, which quickly calmed Chen Jingke's nervousness, and said: "Tell everyone, just follow yesterday's drill, don't be afraid."

Sun Simiao added: "There may be some chaos today, let Gong Xun take precautions. You all run around and see, and deal with things in time."

"Here." Yang Tianlu responded before turning and leaving.

When he was far away, Sun Simiao said again: "You should go around the front more today. If you encounter troubles, you can try to solve them. If you can't, then come to me."

Only then did Chen Jingke come to his senses and said, "Master, did you mean that someone would make trouble today?"

Sun Simiao said: "You have to be on guard. But you don't need to worry. His Majesty will definitely take action on such a big matter. Those people dare not use low-level methods."

Will Li Shimin make a move?

Will do.

It didn't take long for a team of 150 forbidden troops to appear around Zixiao Temple, patrolling various intersections and main streets, and even [-] soldiers came to stand guard at the gate of Zixiao Temple.

Seeing this scene, the rich and powerful family members were only slightly surprised, and then felt that they had come to the right place.

What was really surprising was that low-ranking officials and ordinary people even sent out the imperial army. The emperor paid too much attention to Zixiao Temple, right?
Others showed signs of dread and left helplessly.

Standing in a corner, Li Chengqian and Du He, both in casual clothes, witnessed all this with their own eyes.

Li Chengqian said: "It seems that the appearance of the forbidden army has scared off many people with ulterior motives."

Du He nodded first, then shook his head and said: "The people who are really trying to make trouble are scared off by the imperial army, and there are still many moths hiding in it."

Li Chengqian said: "Oh, what did you find?"

Du He said: "No, but every time this kind of bustling, the snakes, rats, insects and ants in the city will appear for food, and today is no exception."

Li Chengqian knew what he was talking about, frowned and said, "Aren't these people afraid of the Imperial Army?"

Du He said: "Then the imperial army must be able to catch them. There is a saying that the county magistrate is not as good as the current one. These people are only afraid of arresting them quickly."

Li Chengqian didn't believe his words, how could those ruffians not be afraid of the imperial army, but afraid of the arrest.

While talking, a group of arresters also appeared on the square, and the leader was Bai Lifu, chief arrester of Wannian County.

Du He said: "Look, someone who can cure them has come."

Li Chengqian stretched his head to look, he wanted to see what this group of arresters could do.

The appearance of Bai Lifu changed the expressions of many people hiding in the crowd. They either shrunk their heads and hid themselves in the crowd, or slipped away quietly.

But Bai Lifu seemed to be very familiar with them, his eyes swept across the crowd like a falcon, and quickly locked on to the target.

He walked over with strides, and the surrounding people gave way one after another like snakes and scorpions.A young man in his 30s and [-]s realized something was wrong and wanted to slip away.

Bai Lifu shouted: "Chen Ergou, if you dare to run away today, I will allocate a cell for you in the Wannian County Prison."

Hearing that Er Gouzi's body froze and stopped, he complained incessantly, but he said with a smile on his face: "Hey, isn't this a white captor? Why did you, old man, go to the street in person?"

Bai Lifu squinted at him: "Why do you think I went to the street? I also wanted to sit in the yamen and drink tea to enjoy the blessings, but you scum disturbed me so I had to come out."

Er Gouzi's heart skipped a beat, knowing that he was really angry, he quickly said: "Bai Butou, where are you, I, Er Gouzi, have always been the most honest, and I would never dare to commit crimes in your place."

Bai Lifu sneered: "Really? Do you want to go to the yamen with me and check everything you have done recently, so as not to wrong you."

Er Gouzi's legs were weak, and he said: "Don't bother Bai Butou, don't bother Bai Butou..." Then he lowered his voice and said:

"Recently, I got an ancient relic, but I don't know much about it. It is said that you know the most about ancient relics, why don't you give me palm eyes?"

"Okay, I won't be on duty tomorrow, you can find me at my house." Bai Lifu let him go, and then said:

"You kid has been asking about my affairs in private. You even know this little secret about me. Tell me, are you trying to blackmail me?"

Er Gouzi let go of his heart, and called Qu: "Oh, my Bai catcher, even if you lend me ten guts, you won't dare."

Then he took advantage of the opportunity to turn the topic to what he cared about: "This Sun Simiao is just a doctor, why is he so arrogant, and he is the uncle of the imperial army, and he is also a white catcher. You personally go out to control the place? Even if he cured the empress, he would not As for it."

Bai Lifu sneered: "Just a doctor? Bah, you know nothing. Sun Zhenren is a living god, and he is revered in Taoism."

"Now that he has healed his wife, he can reach heaven directly, and his disciple Chen Xiaozheng is also his wife's nephew, who can freely enter and leave the palace...Do you think he is powerful?"

"You look at the door with wide-eyed eyes. Who are they? So many families of princes and nobles are standing respectfully at the door waiting to open the door. What am I, Bai Lifu?"

Chen Ergou gasped. Although he lived in Chang'an City, due to his low status and the poor circulation of ancient news.

He also only had a rough idea of ​​who were the big figures in Beijing, and if he was really asked to identify them, he didn't know a few.

Regarding Sun Simiao, he had never heard of this person at all before, and he only heard some specious news after the construction of Zixiao Temple.

At this time, after Bai Lifu's introduction, he clearly recognized the other party's identity.Thinking of what he had to do before, he broke out in a cold sweat.

I am just a ruffian and bum, who usually collects some protection fees for petty theft, and if he dares to reach out to such a big man, he is courting death.

Bai Lifu sneered and said, "Are you afraid? Now you know that the money was not wasted?"

Er Gouzi wiped off his sweat, bowed solemnly to Bai Lifu, and said, "Thank you Bai for saving my life. If you can find me Chen Ergou in the future, just order me."

Bai Lifu was very satisfied with his attitude, and said: "You are a sensible boy, get out, and don't come here again."

"Anyone who comes here to cause trouble will be killed directly. This is the original sentence of the above, and pass this sentence on to your colleagues."

Chen Ergou broke out in a cold sweat from the murderous words again, and left as if running away.

Not only him, but soon the local ruffians and petty thieves hiding in the crowd were either picked out by the police and taken away, or scared away.

This scene happened to be seen by Cheng Huailiang, Qin Yandao, Yuchi Xunyu and others who came over hand in hand.

The three lamented that the emperor attached great importance to Zixiao Temple, but were also a little disappointed.

Yuchi Xunyu said regretfully: "I still want to screw a few heads off, it's a pity."

On the other side, Li Chengqian, who had witnessed all this with his own eyes, had a gloomy face that was about to drip.But he didn't get angry, but said to Du He:

"Qingquan, when you get back, please tell me the secret of this."

In Du He's mind, a kind of thought that a scholar would die for his confidant, respectfully said: "Here, I know everything without saying nothing."

After a while, the door of Zixiao Temple opened with a creak.

The time has finally come for Zixiao Temple to open its doors.
