"The monk who caught him said that these women were given to the monks by the abbot of Fujie Temple to vent their anger. Many of them have died, but these are still alive." The peasant soldier said with an extremely ugly expression.
Chen Guang asked coldly: "Are these women always like this?"
Seeing these women in front of him as if they were walking zombies, he could hardly contain the murderous intent in his eyes.
"These women were like this when they were discovered. Even if our peasant soldiers came in, they were indifferent. In the past, there were people in the village who looked like they were dying." The peasant soldier captain explained at the side.
Chen Guang retreated from the room, let out a long breath, and asked, "Do you know who these women are?"
"I'm afraid they were all abducted. I've heard that women disappeared in the nearby villages. In the past few years, there have been refugees everywhere. They all thought they were abducted by the refugees. Unexpectedly, they were all caught in the Bujie Temple." Peong Bing The captain gritted his teeth.
Chen Guang said: "Go find some clothes and put them on these women first. Then make some hot porridge. If possible, it is best to ask where these women are from. Forget it, take care of these women first. We will talk about the rest later. .”
"Yes." The peasant soldier captain agreed and called a peasant soldier to prepare clothes and food.
Chen Guang rubbed his forehead.
I have heard before that Bujie Temple is not a kind place, but seeing the appearance of these women with my own eyes and thinking of what happened to these women before, even if he had been a horse thief, now he wanted to kill all the monks in Bujie Temple immediately.
These women were handed over to the people below to take care of them, and Chen Guang returned to the Main Hall.
"Who are the monks in Bujie Temple?" Upon his return, Chen Guang immediately shouted to the monks outside the Main Hall.
Uh-huh!
Seven or eight monks walked out of the crowd, perhaps there were some cheating people inside.
The surrounding monks looked envious.
Monks are all strong and strong people, and the mayor in front of them is a rogue bandit. They think that if the other party finds the monk, he will probably be included in the rogue bandit's team.
Chen Guang glanced around the monks in front of him and asked coldly: "Are there any more?"
Two more monks who were not very strong came out and stood together with the monks who had stood up before.
"Kill all these things that are worse than pigs and dogs." Chen Guang pointed at the monks who stood up.
The peasants and soldiers holding long spears around him raised their spears and stabbed him. Especially the few peasants and soldiers who knew the cause of the incident were even more ruthless when they took action.
Puff... Puff!
The spear was inserted into the monk's body without mercy. Several monks who wanted to dodge were stabbed to the core by the spear that followed before they could avoid it.
"I'm not a monk, I'm not a monk, don't kill me, don't kill me."
A few monks shouted that they were not monks, but the peasants and soldiers didn't care at all. They directly pierced their spears and stabbed the last few monks to death.
"Amitabha." The fat monk clasped his hands together and muttered something in a low voice. His face was pale and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
Chen Guang glanced at the monks in front of him and asked: "There are no monks yet?"
Each of the monks lowered their heads, not daring to look at Chen Guang for fear of being recognized as a monk and ending up like those before.
Chen Guang looked around and saw no one spoke. Finally, his eyes fell on the fat monk, and he immediately said: "Master monk, you don't keep the filth in the temple, kidnap girls from good families, and kill people. Do you admit it?" recognize?"
"Ah, Amitabha." The fat monk stuttered and shouted the Buddha's name.
Chen Guang looked at the fat monk with a cold look on his face.
He didn't believe that the fat monk didn't know about those women. However, he didn't plan to kill the fat monk now. In any case, he was also the abbot of Bujie Temple and had some reputation in Yanqing Prefecture. Killing him like this would be too cheap for him. .
"Who knows about the women in Bujie Temple? Come forward and don't wait for me to ask questions one by one?" Chen Guang said, looking at the monks in Bujie Temple in front of him.
Many monks lowered their heads and no one spoke.
After waiting for a while, Chen Guang saw no answer and said: "As long as you report those who have done evil things in the temple, I can let you go. If you can't report them, it means you have done evil things, and you will end up with the same fate." These are the same people.”
He pointed at the corpses of the monks on the ground.
Many monks trembled when they saw this.
Soon some monks came forward and started pointing out the evil deeds done by other monks in the temple.
One person spoke, and more and more people began to speak, and the crowd in front of the Main Hall became a mess.
"Shut up, everyone." Chen Guang scolded loudly.
Many monks fell silent.
Chen Guang said: "Go to the Mahavira Hall one by one and say in front of the Buddha you worship, Grain and Tax Officer, you will be with me for a while."
The grain tax officer entered the Mahavira Hall with paper and charcoal.
The monks outside began to be brought into the temple one by one by the peasant soldiers.
It took half a stick of incense.
A police officer ran in from outside, rushed to Chen Guang in a few steps, and said: "The mayor, County Magistrate Qi and Wang Shoubei are here, and they have brought a team of soldiers and horses."
"Let's go, come with me to greet them." Chen Guang left these monks behind and took his messengers to greet the county magistrate, guards and others outside.
Arriving outside the temple gate.
Chen Guang saw a group of soldiers on the way down the mountain heading towards the Bujie Temple.
Soon, the few riders in front arrived at the gate of Fujie Temple.
"I have met County Magistrate Qi, Wang Shoubei." Chen Guang stepped forward and cupped his fists at the two leaders.
County Magistrate Qi and Wang Shoubei dismounted.
"As soon as we heard that something happened at Bujie Temple, Wang Shoubei and I rushed over from the county seat." County Magistrate Qi said.
I don't know who suddenly shouted.
The peasants and soldiers in the front row subconsciously thrust out the spears in their hands, and the spear heads stabbed the monks in front.
More than thirty spears almost instantly took away the lives of these warrior monks outside the temple gate.
"Remember, the battlefield can change instantly, and there will be no mercy." Chen Guang walked up from behind.
"Remember, remember." The peasant and soldier captain responded stutteringly.
Chen Guang glanced at the peasant and soldier captain and knew that the captain was still unable to adapt to the current situation.
If this time he had brought warriors from several combat divisions, he might have tried to accept the surrender of these monks, but these farmers and soldiers were different. If they encountered a slight setback, their success might be ruined. He didn't dare to gamble. , these monks can only be killed to ensure the safety of the peasants and soldiers.
Less than thirty corpses were left outside the Bujie Temple. In addition to the warrior monks, there were also several ordinary monks wearing monk robes.
"Be prepared to hit the wood and the door." Chen Guang told the peasant and soldier captain.
The door of the Bujie Temple was closed. He did not think that the monks in the temple would take the initiative to open the door, so he prepared to forcefully break the door and enter the Bujie Temple.
The peasant and soldier captain didn't have time to think too much, so he called several peasant soldiers to prepare to hit the wood.
"You ride a fast horse back to the county seat and tell the county magistrate and the guards about the situation of the Bujie Temple."
