Rong Changan thought to himself, could it be the mysterious person who fought her in the back mountain
Lin Haidao: "I thought so too. Originally, I wanted to lead the troops directly to search, but I didn't get the Queen's order. I was afraid that I would startle the snake, so I came back first and arranged a few people to watch over there. If there is any movement, I will come to you." I return."
Rong Changan felt very relieved to have such a capable assistant: "You have done a good job. This temple is very important to us. Zhang An and Geng Di's complexions are not good, probably because they had a dispute with the people inside."
"Why are there disputes?" Lin Hai asked.
"It's hard to say now. We will only find out after we catch the people in the temple." Rong Changan stood up, full of fighting spirit, "You must arrange people and horses right now. They must be skilled. Let's go to the temple to have a look. What the hell is hiding!"
After half an hour, more than a thousand imperial guards were waiting at the back gate of the palace. Rong Chang'an rode a steed, followed by Lin Hai, without lighting a torch, without carrying a lantern, with a title on his horse, and with the flags and drums silenced, he came to the outside of Putong Temple.
At this time, the temple was very quiet, not even the sound of chanting scriptures. Lin Hai called several soldiers who were waiting outside.
"While I was away, did anyone come in or out of the temple?"
The soldier said: "There are also people who come to burn incense, and there are also people who go out to buy things, but I have never seen anyone whose whereabouts are surreptitious."
They didn't know that Liu Yiming had already left early wearing the clothes of a temple helper.
"Queen, I have surrounded the entire temple, can I search the temple?" Lin Hai asked.
Rong Changan has fought against those people, and knows that their martial arts are very strong.
"You should pay attention to safety. They are vicious people. If you want to jump over the wall, be careful to be bitten by them!"
Lin Hai asked the soldiers to light up torches and lanterns, illuminating the entire temple area like daytime. Five hundred people waited outside with Rong Changan, and five hundred people went into the temple with Lin Hai to search.
All of a sudden, swords, swords, spears and halberds were like a forest, and they occupied the entire temple one after another. The temple is not big, and there are only more than 20 monks. They were woken up by officers and soldiers in the middle of the night, and they dared not speak out. Including the abbot, there were a total of twenty-three people, and Lin Hai brought them all to Rong Changan.
Rong Chang'an's eyes were like stars in the clear sky, shining brightly, he scanned the monk's face sharply, but did not see any strange faces. After falling behind, her eyes fell on the abbot again.
"Master abbot, I'm Rong Chang'an, tell me, have there been any non-embarrassing people in the temple recently?"
The abbot trembled slightly and raised his eyes slightly. Sitting on a snow-white war horse, wearing a gauze skirt, a scarlet cloak, and a woman with shiny steamed buns and emerald jewels, she turned out to be the famous Empress Rong Chang An Rong!
In the breeze and drizzle, the abbot unconsciously softened his knees and knelt down in front of the white horse.
"As far as I know, no such person has appeared in the temple recently."
People who lie always have erratic eyes. Moreover, Rong Chang'an has a pair of eyes that can see through people's thoughts.
"Sure enough, as you said, has no special person entered your temple recently?"
Facing Rong Changan's question again, the abbot's complexion suddenly became ugly.
"Yes, not at all… "
The hesitant answer has revealed his inner secret.
Rong Chang'an turned to look at the other monks: "What about you? Didn't you see any special people entering the temple?"
A young monk finally couldn't stand Rong Chang'an's gaze, walked in front, clasped his hands together and said, "A man came these days and lived in the pavilion behind the temple. Is there a female pilgrim visiting him?"
If you think about it with your fingernails, you will know that the female pilgrim is Ziyan.
"Do you remember the appearance of that female pilgrim?"
The monk shook his head: "Every time she comes, she wears a gauze hat, which covers her face, so I never see her."
Rong Changan smiled slightly: "Where did that person who lives behind the pavilion go?"
The young monk was about to say something, but the abbot glared at him and winked at him, so the young monk hesitated and dared not continue.
Rong Changan saw it in his eyes: "Little monk, just tell me what you see, if someone threatens you, I will take him into the prison." Rong Changan turned to the abbot and said, "Master abbot, you don't want to spend time in the prison Live the rest of your life?"
The abbot looked flustered, and quickly replied: "It's better to be in prison than to face the ancient Buddha with the green lamp."
Rong Changan said: "It's good that you understand." So he continued to ask the young monk, "Tell me, what does that person who lives in the pavilion look like?"
Without the interference of the abbot, the young monk boldly said: "That man is a friend of the abbot master, and he has a mole on his nose, and his face is very broad."
Needless to say, this person is Liu Yiming who Lin Hai couldn't catch last time!
"Hmph, this guy, he escaped to Putong Temple!" Lin Hai was still angry when he remembered what happened that day. He grabbed the young monk by his collar and asked, "Where is he now?"
The entire temple was searched, but Liu Yiming was nowhere to be found. Could it be that he ran away again
Lin Hai and Rong Changan were disappointed by the young monk's answer: "Today, he disguised himself as the deacon of our temple and rode away."
"What!" Lin Hai's eyes widened, and he called the soldiers guarding outside the temple over, "You are so blind that you let someone run away?"
Lin Hai waved his palm to hit the soldier, but Rong Changan stopped him.
"It's not their fault. Liu Yiming is disguised as a deacon, and they can't tell the difference. It's only because Liu Yiming is too cunning."
Rong Changan thought about the whole thing, and felt more and more uneasy. Liu Yiming has connections with Zhang An, Geng Di, and Ziyan. What earth-shattering thing does Liu Yiming want to do
"Queen, should we take all these bald donkeys back and interrogate them properly?" Lin Hai said.
Rong Chang'an said: "I think all they can know is what they just said. If they are caught and spread, the emperor will blame me again. Let's retreat!"
On the way back to the palace, Rong Changan suddenly called Lin Hai over, and whispered something in his ear.
Lin Hai heard this, and frowned: "Is this going to work?"
Rong Changan said with firm eyes: "If you want the peace of Dajing country, you have to take risks."
Lin Haidao: "Since the queen has made up her mind, I am willing to advance and retreat with you!"
Zhang An and Geng Di's houses were only separated by an alley, Rong Chang'an's team did not go back to the palace, but made a detour to the alley.
Zhang An had been busy all day and was about to go to bed when he suddenly heard people talking outside the house. Zhang An had ghosts in his heart, he was taken aback, and quickly got up. Madam Zhang complained:
"What are you doing up at night?"
Zhang Andao: "There is a commotion outside, I don't know what happened."
Mrs. Zhang is Zhang An's concubine. She is at the age of a wolf and a tiger. She wanted to get close to Zhang An at night, so she stretched out her lotus arms to hug Zhang An's neck, and said in a soft voice:
"There's a lot of noise outside, probably to catch thieves, what are they doing to us! Could they still come to catch us? Come on, master, let's be happy! It's cold now, let's hug each other to keep warm!"
