Chastity Layman 2

Chapter 165

Pingkangfang, in the former Yanghua Temple.

Qin Lang arrived in a white robe, and the guards of the Zhenfu Department in front of the Yamen saw the immediate boss coming, and hurried forward to greet him.Although Qin Lang hadn't come to Yazhong for a while after he was appointed as a scholar of Chongxianguan, and the affairs of Yazhong were handed over to Xu Jingzong, the chief secretary, to take charge of it, but his prestige in the department was unparalleled, let alone unparalleled.

Not to mention that he is the person who built the company, it’s just that when the Turks attacked some time ago, the price of food in Gyeonggi rose accordingly, and there was no market for food. When people were panicking, Qin Lang, the boss, opened the small treasury of the company to distribute money and food for everyone. The Sili brothers' granaries are full, and they are at ease. This alone is enough to make Qin Lang deeply loved by everyone.

"Why did Sanlang come here today when he is free? I heard that Sanlang is now the prince's teacher." Dugu Yanyun, the guard officer, greeted with a smile.

"I don't dare to be the prince's teacher. I just help with the affairs of the library. How are you doing recently? Is Xu Changshi in the yamen?"

"The job is very good. Xu Changshi is in the yamen at the moment." Dugu welcomed Qin Lang into the yamen with a smile, trotting all the way, very respectful.

As soon as they entered the Yamen, everyone in the department, whether they were officials, subordinates, or servants, all crossed their hands and greeted each other and said hello.

I went straight to Xu Jingzong's room, but as soon as I got to the door, I heard Liu Jiuzheng complaining to Xu Jingzong, and Xu Jingzong was there to persuade him.

Qin Lang coughed twice.

Liu Jiu rushed out of the room with surprise on his face, "Why is Sanlang here?"

When Xu Jingzong saw Qin Lang, although he had a smile on his face, there was a sense of sizing up in his eyes, and even a hint of dissatisfaction.

Qin Lang saw through at a glance that Xu Jingzong was afraid that he would come back and take away his authority, so he went directly to Xu Jingzong's room and sat down at the head seat.

"Old Xu, when I met the saint yesterday, I recommended you to be the governor of the governor, but your majesty refused."

Only the four words that His Majesty did not allow made Xu Jingzong's complexion change greatly, and his complexion became slack.

"I don't know what you did to offend His Majesty before, but His Majesty's anger is obviously still there. Old Xu, you should be wronged. Let's do two more years of history in this department for the time being."

Xu Jingzong crossed his hands embarrassingly, "Xie Sanlang speaks kindly for someone."

Seeing that Xu Jingzong became honest and low-key again, Qin Lang was very satisfied.

"Call the Sili brothers over for a meeting, there is an important task."

Hearing the words "important task", Liu Jiu became excited, "What important task is it? Since Xu Changshi presided over the affairs of the department, our department has been bored all day long, but there are many rules and regulations, and meetings are held all day long. , and no bird feathers can grow."

Xu Jingzong opened his mouth, but seeing Qin Lang there, he had no choice but to shut up again.

Liu Jiu glanced at Xu Jingzong, "Xu Changshi, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and inform everyone to come to the meeting. Don't you like meetings the most? Sanlang and I haven't seen each other for a few days, so we just have a chat first."

He was clearly a subordinate, but he behaved like a superior, but Xu Jingzong had just been discouraged by Qin Lang's words, and now he didn't care about it.

When Xu Jingzong went out, Qin Lang reminded Liu Jiu, "Xu Changshi doesn't say that he is in charge of daily affairs, even if his rank is higher than yours, you can't be rude to him."

"He's a fart, the brothers in this department only recognize you as the boss."

Qin Lang was helpless, "Old Xu is just a little unlucky now, but after all, he is an old minister of the Qiandi and one of the eighteen bachelors, maybe one day his luck will come. Besides, he is a civil servant and not a military officer. These people are the ones who hold grudges the most. Unlike those of us who speak freely, but no one will really take it to heart."

Liu Jiu is still like that bird, "I'm afraid he's a bird!"

Seeing this, Qin Lang had nothing to say.

After Wei Chang, Zhao An, Zhang Cheng and others all arrived, Qin Lang officially issued this secret mission.

"Faya of Da Zongchi Temple, within three days, I want to get all the information about him, not only his current whereabouts, but also his past experience, even the news about him when he was pregnant. Summarize, be sure to be detailed."

Wei Chang squeezed his chin, puzzled, "Faya is a famous master in Chang'an, and he was favored by the Supreme Emperor and King Xiling before, and he was often able to enter and leave the Taiji Palace and the East Palace. The thousand monks in Chang'an wanted to set up an army of monks to fight against the Turks, which aroused the great joy of the Supreme Emperor. At that time, Zhishi of the Da Zongchi Temple was opposed by him, and his majesty took away his Dharma clothes and expelled him from the temple."

Zhao An, who was in charge of the Imperial Prison, also said that this Faya had a great reputation in Chang'an, not only frequently going in and out of the court, but also the mansion of the ministers and prime ministers in Chang'an was free to come and go, and was highly sought after by the upper class.

Qin Lang sneered twice, "A monk doesn't eat fast in the temple, chant Buddhism and practice well, but jumps around all day long, as if advocating excellence. Do you think this kind of monk can be a good monk?"

Liu Jiu said, "You want to move him?"

"I don't care what kind of eminent monk or holy monk he is, but as long as he violates the criminal law, he will also be punished."

Liu Jiu suddenly regained his spirits, "Damn, I've been annoyed by seeing those bald donkeys for a long time. They pretend to be holy monks and masters, but they are actually full of male thieves and female prostitutes. Land of Nurgle."

"It's useless to talk too much, we need evidence." Qin Lang said.

"Go directly to get people, under the three trees, are you afraid that you won't recruit them?" Liu Jiu said.

"Don't be so rude, you also said that this person has a lot of connections, so we have to pay more attention to evidence in handling the case, get solid evidence, understand? It must be impeccable, no one will be able to find the slightest mistake."

The town governor personally set the goal, and the school offices immediately started working around it.

Wei Chang and Lin San both cast their own big nets, countless people took to the streets, and many hidden eyeliners were activated.

Da Zongchi Temple was under strict monitoring at [-] o'clock in the day. No matter where Fa Ya was, he was guaranteed to be under the eyes and ears of the Zhen Fu Division all day long.

The archive room is constantly sorting out and storing various archive information about Fa Ya.

A person like Fa Ya cannot withstand investigation. A random search will find countless charges, but Qin Lang is not in a hurry. He requires that there be enough evidence to stand up to each charge.

This time Falla was just an introduction, what he really wanted to catch was Pei Ji, but he was not in a hurry, so he just dug little by little, until finally he dug on Pei Ji, he was invulnerable.

Three days later, Qin Lang brought Liu Jiu, Wei Chang, Lin San, Xu Jingzong, Qin Yong, Ah Huang and other key members of the Sili to the Dazongchi Temple.

The eastern half of Chang'an's Southwest Heping and Yongyang Erfangs are all Dazongchi Temples, covering an area of ​​[-] mu.

Standing in front of the gate of the temple, one can't help but wonder, in the capital city of Chang'an, the Buddhist family can have such power, even if it is because of an edict against Buddhism and Taoism issued by the Supreme Emperor before his abdication, the Da Zongchi Temple does not seem to be affected in any way.

"This Buddhist temple has only been built for more than 33 years. In the third year of Renshou, Emperor Wen of the former dynasty built it to pray for his dead wife, the lonely queen. The third floor was designed and supervised by Yu Wenkai, the most famous architect at that time."

Qin Lang turned his head and looked back at Guiyi and Zhaoxingfang behind him, "Then the temple here is also owned by the Dazongji Temple?"

"It's not over there. It was built by Emperor Yang Guang for his father Yang Jian during the Daye period. The scale of the building is the same as that of the Zen Ding Temple. There is also a thirteen-story pagoda called the Great Zen Ding Temple."

These two large and small meditation temples occupying half of the four squares, covering an area of ​​[-] mu, were renamed Dazongzhihe and Dazhuangyan temples after entering the Tang Dynasty. landmarks.

Fa Ya practiced in Da Zong Chi Temple.

Qin Lang suddenly remembered, it seemed that the monk Bianji who slept with Princess Gaoyang in history also seemed to belong to this Da Zongchi Temple?

From this point of view, it seems that this Da Zongchi Temple is really out of fashion. It has only been built for more than [-] years, but there are always demon monks and dirty teachers.

In front of the gate of Da Zongchi Temple, I heard that the Zhike monk informed Yi Guogong to lead the officials of the Zhen Fusi to come, and the abbot of the temple, Daoyue monk, led Daozong, Bianxiang, Faya and other monks to come out to greet him.

"Meet Scholar Qin!"

The abbot, Monk Daoyue, seemed quite upright and polite.

Qin Lang stepped forward very politely and handed over a post.

"Debate!"

Monk Daoyue called out a novice, who was about seven or eight years old, with a bald head and a shiny shaved face, and a very handsome appearance.

The little novice stepped forward to put his palms together to Qin Lang, and then took the post.

Qin Lang looked at this guy carefully and looked at the time. It is estimated that this kid was the one who slept with Princess Gaoyang in history. It is said that he was also a famous eminent monk at the time of Zhenguan, and he was proficient in many Buddhist scriptures. The scriptures, but who knows that they got together with Gao Yang and lost their lives in the end, which is also a pity.

Bian Ji didn't present the post to Monk Daoyue, but to Fa Ya, the abbot of Da Zong Chi Temple, and Fa Ya was more in charge of mundane affairs.

Fa Ya glanced at it, and saw some donated sesame oil money and silk on the stickers, but the amount was a little small.You must know that the name of Dazongchi Temple is very famous, countless good men and women come to offer incense and make wishes, and those nobles, high-ranking officials and famous families come to offer incense, and they are even more extraordinary.

Often donate hundreds of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of sesame oil money at a time.

And Qin Lang's post was made of jute paper, but it said a hundred sticks of incense, ten catties of oil, and then disappeared.

What kind of contribution is this?
Qin Lang asked Fa Ya with a smile, "Could it be that the master thinks that the donation of sesame oil is too small?"

Fa Ya showed the post to several other great monks, and said with a half-smile, "People who are predestined for Buddha's journey, how could they care about these vulgar things?"

Qin Lang thought to himself, I'm afraid your Buddha will not be poor, otherwise, why do you look disgusted?
There was no change on Monk Daoyue's face, but there were some changes in the way the other monks looked at Qin Lang.

Qin Lang also ignored them, "I wonder if it is convenient for me to enter the temple for a look?"

Monk Daoyue said, "Please benefactor!"

But Fa Ya asked in a strange way, "I don't know if Bachelor Qin is here to burn incense and worship Buddha, or is there something else?"

Qin Lang looked at Fa Ya and narrowed his eyes, "Actually, I'm here mainly to find Master Fa Ya, but since we're here at Baosi, let's burn a few incense sticks by the way."
