There were more than one or two people who were thrown into the well. The bones of more than ten people were recovered from the well by the Dragon Guard's breath-holding masters.
After inspection, it was found that most of the bones were children of several years old, and the earliest ones were four or five years ago.
This can still be fished out, but those that cannot be fished out will only be fished out sooner.
The Supreme Emperor was very angry in Longshou Palace, but he still could not change Emperor Liu Heng's decision.
The fourth prince Liu Hong was grounded and went to the Pure Land Temple with Liu Hong. Jia Cong, Liu Chong, Liu Yuan and others were all beaten up and sent home wailing.
Cao Jiugong became ruthless, and with one order, the entire capital was almost dug up three feet into the ground. Governor Cao, who usually squinted his eyes and was cheerful, did not give anyone any face this time. The officers of the Dragon Guard sealed off all parts of the capital and searched every square carefully.
The loyal king Liu Wei was severely beaten by the angry Cao Jiugong because he blocked the Long Imperial Guard from entering the palace to search.
According to the news sent back by Jia Shiyi, Liu Biao was almost fainted from the pain after being whipped. He didn't even take medicine and was carried to Longshou Palace by the servants of the palace.
As soon as this news came out, the Dragon Guard's search became extremely smooth. The princes, nobles and ordinary people all obediently accepted the search by the Long Guards, and anyone who resisted was sent to the Shuntian Mansion Prison at the least.
The sounds of fighting and killing all over the capital completely reminded people of what the Dragon Guards once looked like.
It turned out that it was not the Dragon Guards who had become gentle, but the leader who was usually so kind and sociable, which made people forget the terror of the Dragon Guards, the emperor's own army.
As soon as Jia She returned home, he came to Jia Cong's small courtyard.
The doctor had just applied medicine to the injured Jia Cong. The little fat man twisted his red and swollen buttocks, trying to hide it, but unfortunately it hurt so much that he could only let his father laugh at him.
"Snapped!"
Jia She laughed at his red-butt son for a while, and even slapped him on the head: "You are just messing around every day, how can you get involved in this kind of thing?"
"Dad, my son has realized his mistake!"
Jia Cong looked dejected and secretly glanced at his father. Seeing that he was glaring at him, he lowered his head again.
It's a pity that all this was seen by Master Shengda, who sneered: "You know your mistakes but you just don't change them. How powerful you are, Third Master Cong. You actually dare to lead the future crown prince around with a few guards. Look. It is right for the saint to give you a slap in the face. If it comes to the future, do you plan to take your highness to the grassland to conquer in person?"
When Master Pardon said this, Jia Cong suddenly realized.
No wonder the saint is so angry today. Several of his grandchildren and nephews, including Prince Zhongshun Liu Chong, have been punished.
Even the fourth prince Liu Hong, who was not beaten, was also banned. It was said that he had to copy several large volumes of saints' classics.
It turned out to be this reason. The little fat man thought it was because the Supreme Emperor was angry with the Emperor's son and took it out on them.
"His Majesty has issued an order for the Ministry of Rites to select a suitable candidate and go east to the Japanese Kingdom to appease the Japanese King..."
Snapped!
"Ouch! It hurts, it hurts..."
Jia Cong was so angry that he punched the head of the bed but felt that his butt was about to burst. After crying out in pain for a while, most of the impulsive anger just now was extinguished.
He sighed and said, "Our navy is still too bad. Otherwise, with His Majesty's temper, he wouldn't have just issued an order lightly."
His son's words made Jia She fall into silence. Not only was the navy corrupt, there were also many problems in the Beijing camp.
The emperor asked him to rectify the capital camp, and this was the reason. The frontier army is strong, but the imperial army is weak. It seems that the vassal town is strong but the center is weak.
Fortunately, this symptom has just begun, and the disease lies in the joints, which are within reach of the soup. Otherwise, in a few decades, the Nine-Border Army will have a great chance of becoming the head of the military vassal town that refuses to comply with the propaganda. However, if the storm arises, the overthrow of Daxia will be inevitable.
"Dad...Dad? Dad!"
Jia Cong called repeatedly and finally woke up Master Pardon who was deep in thought.
He asked doubtfully: "Dad, what are you thinking about? Son
I called you several times but you didn't answer. "
"Oh, nothing."
That's not what Mr. Pardon said on his face, but Jia Cong didn't expose it either. He asked about something he couldn't figure out today: "Dad, why is Cao Dudu so crazy today? Just now Uncle Eleven came back and said that Liu Wei is such a bad guy... uh... because he prevented the Dragon Guards from entering the house to search. , was spanked severely by Cao Dudu. I saw Cao Dudu smiling with his hands behind his hands every day, giving people a very gentle feeling. I didn’t expect that he could be so ruthless and decisive at times.”
"Gentle? Although the old Cao family has no official rank, they are still generals. Why do you think the people of the old Cao family are gentle? What's more, what are the dragon guards doing? The emperor is an army, and Cao Jiugong can suppress him if he is not ruthless. Stop the people below?"
Jia She despised his son's naivety and explained to him: "When your Majesty ascended the throne, your adoptive mother who raised you was the empress dowager. At that time, your majesty didn't even have anyone around you, so the empress dowager made a decisive decision and asked the Cao family to give up. Xuanfu’s soldiers and horses, and at the same time selected the most capable Cao Jiugong in the clan to take charge of the Dragon Guards exchanged for Xuanfu’s soldiers and horses.”
hiss!
The Queen Mother, who spends her days either worshiping gods or playing with large figures, is so powerful!
This is betting the future of the entire Cao family on the emperor. No wonder the emperor has no reservations about his trust in the Cao family.
The Grand Pardon Master continued: "Cao Jiugong is the most capable junior in Cheng'en Palace, but he has an inner demon...More than ten years ago, when his wife went to offer incense outside the city, she lost her only daughter. Later, his wife always thought that she had lost the child due to carelessness, and she died of depression a year later. Therefore, what he hated most in his life was human traffickers. I am afraid that what happened today has irritated him. At this time, let alone a *** like Liu Wei dare Even His Majesty may not be able to stop it."
"Then, what happened next?"
"There will be no later!"
Jia She sighed and said: "Cao Jiugong is a rare good man, but he is too emotional. After his wife passed away, he vowed not to remarry. The Queen Mother once offered to remarry him, but she rejected them all. There are many in the old Cao family. I'm worried about this matter. If his brother Cao Jiuren hadn't adopted his two sons, his line would have been extinct."
"He is indeed a person who values friendship. Only people like this are worth getting to know!"
Jia Cong sighed in admiration and was about to ask the people at Pure Land Temple. But the maid outside the door reported: "Master, Prince Zhongshun has sent someone to ask you to go to the palace."
"Every day, there is no free time!"
Master Pardon complained, slapped Jia Cong on the head, and warned: "Since there is a wound on your butt, don't mess around anymore. You and I are so busy that I don't care to beat you. How dare you? If you go out and mess around again, be careful and I will throw you to the camp!"
When Master Pardon left, Jia Cong pulled the quilt and covered his red buttocks.
He shouted at the top of his lungs: "Jixiang, Ruyi, go find Uncle Eleven!"
Overnight, the Imperial Pure Land Temple became a dirty place that everyone wanted to beat.
Even other Buddhist temples and nunneries in Beijing were also affected, and various government offices under Shuntian Prefecture received many reports.
Including the royal temple, more than 20 temples and nunneries, large and small, have been reported to be suspected of various crimes.
Shuntian Mansion did not dare to delay even a little bit this time. As soon as it received a report, it would immediately send people to investigate.
After all, Cao Dudu of the Dragon Imperial Guard had just whipped the loyal king Liu Fu, and even after he complained to the palace, he didn't do anything to him.
It is said that Concubine Zhen was crying in the Huangji Palace. Just when the Emperor was about to issue an edict, Empress Dowager Cao and others blocked her in the Palace and slapped Concubine Zhen severely.
Even the Supreme Emperor was teased for a while, saying that he was old and confused, doting on women so much that he forgot who determined the responsibilities and powers of the Dragon Guard.
"You have made your own rules. The Dragon Guards are the emperor's personal soldiers. They are entrusted with the mandate of heaven to detect hundreds of officials. What about the prince's palace? Can they be higher than the imperial edict?"
To be honest, Empress Dowager Cao is a little messy. Searching the prince's palace without purpose is a violation of the rules of the country.
But there are precedents for this matter. The increased power of the Dragon Guards is the result of the Supreme Emperor’s authority.
The will of his own hands. The Dragon Guards back then were much crazier than they are now. Many disloyal royal family members died in the Dragon Guards' prison.
"Grandma Huang is so powerful, she blocked Grandpa Huang for a long time and was speechless. By the way, Grandpa Huang was so angry that he gave Uncle Fourteen another beating..."
The little prince Liu Shuo held a piece of Shanshan melon in his hands and gnawed it until his face was covered with juice. He talked incoherently about the situation in the palace during the past two days.
While Jia Cong admired the good acting skills of Empress Dowager Cao and the Supreme Emperor, he kept poking the big cat's big head.
It was probably that he had just been given the medicine. The big cat who was taken out of the palace by Liu Shuo kept offering the quilt on Jia Cong, trying to find the source of the medicine.
"Brother Cong, please have a good rest first. The general will stay in Rongguo Mansion temporarily. I have to visit the other brothers on behalf of the fourth brother. I will take him back to the palace in the evening."
When Liu Shuo left the palace, he was actually ordered by the fourth prince Liu Hong to visit his future confidant in the East Palace.
Jia Cong looked at the various gifts piled on the table and cupped his hands gratefully.
After Liu Shuo left the Rongguo Mansion with the plate of Shanshan melon, Jia Shiyi returned to the room and said, "As the third master said, there are many people watching the fifth prince in the dark. I have quietly sent people to follow him. Go up."
"The tree wants to be quiet but the wind is still blowing. The fourth brother is about to take over the East Palace. Naturally, there will be many people eyeing the fifth prince."
Jia Cong rubbed the big cat's furry head and said with emotion: "I hope the fifth prince can be like King Zhongshun, but he must not cause any trouble between brothers."
No one can say anything about the royal family, and it is extremely rare to have a loyal and obedient prince. They are all sons and grandsons of dragons, and there are very few people who can truly have no idea about that chair.
Jia Shiyi was stunned for a moment, then changed the topic.
"By the way, Master Jingxu of Shuiyue An sent people to look for the old lady. They said that people from Shuntian Mansion surrounded Shuiyue An and wanted to find out about loan sharking. Master Jingxu still did it. Silver, this is how the little nun brought the letter..."
Shuiyuean?
Jia Cong almost didn't remember what it was. It took him a long time to remember Jingxu.
Lao Tzu once said: Go to the extreme of emptiness, keep quiet, and observe all things happening together. Husband, everything is in a cloud, and each one returns to its roots. Returning to the root is called tranquility, and tranquility is called returning to life. Returning to life is called Chang, knowing Chang is called Ming. I don't know how to do evil, I know how to look good, and good looks are fair. The king is the king, the king is the sky, the sky is the Tao, the Tao is the long-term, and the body will not be destroyed.
The old nun’s tranquility is called tranquility, but in reality it is noisy;
On the surface, he admires emptiness, but on the inside, he is driven by desire.
Ordinarily, she is a disciple of Buddhism. It is her duty to cultivate her character and promote Buddhism, and her career is to save all sentient beings.
However, she is in Buddhism and her heart is in the world of mortals. She travels among the nobles, country gentlemen and wealthy families, making friends with power, fawning over the rich and powerful, being good at dancing, and pursuing only profit.
Jia Cong cursed disdainfully: "This old nun has really dirty the temple of my Jia family."
After he finished scolding, he asked, "What did the old lady say?"
"The old lady didn't say anything, she just asked Mr. Bao to go and have a look at the nunnery..."
Jia Shiyi's answer left Jia Cong speechless. Even if the old lady didn't intend to pay attention to this matter, don't send Baoyu.
I heard that the little girl in the nunnery is pretty. If Baoyu goes there, wouldn't it cause unnecessary trouble?
What a mess!
Jia Cong said helplessly: "Uncle Eleven, go and have a look. Don't let Brother Bao cause any trouble... Oh, forget it, prepare the car, I'll go there myself!"
The wound on his butt was just like that. The sage old man would not really beat the ass of his half-brother's good grandson.
Although there was still some pain under the bumps of the carriage, I could bear it.
After finally arriving outside Shuiyue Temple, they saw Baoyu holding a stick and confronting the officials of Shuntian Mansion.
Second Master Bao, who was usually as soft-tempered as cotton, now turned red in the face, stood in front of Shuiyue'an's temple with trembling hands, yelling and waving his stick randomly, trying to kill those who were about to go in and search. The yamen were blocking the outside.
"There are only a few female masters in this nunnery, how can we let rude men like you in..."
There was a hint of sarcasm on the face of the old nun Jingxu, and she called the Buddha's name and said: "Amitabha, the poor nun just said that this Shuiyue Temple is the family temple of Ningrong Jia's family, how could he do something that harms people's lives?" The dirty things."
"Since it has not been done, why not let Shuntian Mansion enter the nunnery to search?"
Squeak, squeak...
The wheels of the carriage turned slowly, and the government servants blocking the entrance of Shuiyue Nunnery made way for the servants. Jia Cong stood on the shaft of the carriage holding the door and glanced coldly at the old nun Jingxu.
He was too lazy to pay attention to this seemingly noble Buddhist woman and said to Jia Baoyu: "Brother Bao, the old lady asked you to come and see the situation in Shuiyue Nunnery. She didn't ask you to fight against the government. Why don't you get out of the way?"
"Brother Cong, there are only a few nuns like Master Jingxu and Zhiji'er in this nunnery. How can we let these group of stinkers..."
Before Jia Baoyu finished speaking, Jia Cong said sternly: "Come here, take the second brother Bao back to the house and hand it over to the second uncle."
Jia Shiyi immediately jumped up and arrived in front of Jia Baoyu, grabbed Jia Baoyu's arm and whispered: "Second Master Bao, if the Second Master knows what you did today, he will definitely give you a slap in the face."
Ga!
Mr. Bao Er is not afraid of anything except Master Zheng.
When Jia Shiyi said this, he couldn't say the second half of the sentence. Instead, he trembled and looked pleadingly at the cold-faced Jia Cong on the carriage.
"Forget it, Brother Bao, follow me first. I'll let you see if Shuiyue Temple is the Buddhist pure land in your heart!"
Can Shuiyue Temple be the pure land of Buddhism? When Master Shengda and Master Jingda joined forces to rectify the two houses of Ningrong and Ningrong, they originally planned to clean up Shuiyue An, but after the last investigation, they temporarily suppressed the matter.
Why? Because Shuiyuean seems to have the surname Jia, in fact Master Jingxu took the surname Wang too early.
Today is a good opportunity, how could Jia Cong let it go? Uncle Wang has become very prosperous by taking advantage of the opportunity of patrolling Jiubian, so Jia Cong will give the Wang family a heavy gift.
