After being dressed as Wu Zetian's daughter, she was favored by the group

Li Lingyue rushed to Nanshan Temple with hundreds of forbidden troops full of hope.

In order to prevent accidents, she also specifically ordered the imperial guards to surround the entire temple, and no one was allowed to enter.

After doing all this, she personally took people to the south of Nanshan Temple to look for the Bodhi tree.

In the end, I was disappointed to find that there was only a pine needle forest in the south of Nanshan Temple, and there were more than 300 densely planted pine trees. Li Lingyue searched one by one, but did not find a bodhi tree!
Although she had doubts, she was very sure that Zhang Yi's phrase "South of Nanshan Temple, under the Bodhi Tree" was definitely not intentionally made up, and there must be a mystery hidden in it.

After searching around again, Li Lingyue, who found nothing, returned to the temple and planned to ask the abbot.

由于初唐重道轻佛，加上灾情泛滥，南山寺早已没了香火，偌大的寺庙，只有一个瘦成皮包骨的中年方丈。

When Li Lingyue arrived, the abbot was doing needlework, mending his patched cassock.

一听寺外人声鼎沸，顿时喜极而泣，以为来了香客，小跑着出去迎接，到门口一看，才发现来是大批官兵，对方连招呼都不打，上来就围了他的寺庙。

He was a little angry, shouted 'Amitabha', and was about to go up to reason, but when he heard that it was the eldest princess of Tang Dynasty, he lost his temper instantly.

Li Lingyue, who returned to the temple, waved to the abbot, and the abbot stepped forward cautiously, clasping his hands together.

"Amitabha, I don't know what the princess is doing at the temple?"

Li Lingyue asked: "Abbot, is this Nanshan Temple?"

"Princess Hui, this place is Nanshan Temple!"

"Is there a bodhi tree in the south of Nanshan Temple?" Li Lingyue asked again.

The abbot smiled and said, "Princess Hui, to the south of Nanshan Temple is a pine forest, and bodhi trees have never been planted!"

Li Lingyue knew he wasn't lying, but her expression changed, and she scolded: "Old bald donkey, how dare you lie to my princess!"

The abbot looked aggrieved, and hurriedly put his palms together and bowed, "Amitabha, monks don't tell lies. I have urinated in this Nanshan Temple since I was a child. The pines and cypresses on the mountain were all planted by the abbot when he was alive. I tell the truth, how dare I deceive the princess."

Seeing that the other party didn't seem to be lying, Li Lingyue fell into deep thought again.

If there is no bodhi tree, how to explain the meaning of "under the bodhi tree"? Is there a difference between bodhi and tree?
Thinking of this, Li Lingyue asked some proof: "What was the old abbot planting pines and cypresses for?"

"Back to the princess, in addition to chopping firewood and lighting the fire, it is also for pilgrims to escape the summer heat and hang bags to pray for blessings!"

"I understand!" Li Lingyue murmured excitedly, turning around and running out of the temple, ignoring the masked abbot.

This time, she didn't look for the Bodhi tree, but asked the forbidden soldiers to look through the blessing bags hanging on the pine tree. Hundreds of forbidden soldiers went deep into the pine forest, and soon found a string of bodhi beads on a thick pine tree.

Li Lingyue ordered the imperial guards to take off the rosary beads, held them in their hands and looked them over carefully, and saw the word 'Xiuwen' engraved on one of the bodhisattvas.

Before his death, Mrs. Zhang called Zhang Yi "Xiuwen", explaining that "Xiuwen" was Zhang Yi's name. Li Lingyue suppressed her excitement and immediately asked the imperial guards to dig under the tree with their pickaxes.

As time passed, Li Lingyue's heart was in his throat, and he expected Zhang Yi to bring her a huge surprise.

After digging about two feet deep, an iron box was exposed. The imperial guards wiped off the dirt on it and held it in front of Li Lingyue.

Li Lingyue took a deep breath and slowly opened it.

Inside the iron box was a letter and a thick bill.

As soon as she opened the letter, the contents inside shocked her.

According to Zhang Yi's report, during his appointment as governor of Fuzhou, one person held multiple positions, including Bie Jia, Sima, and recorder. The real people in these official positions were actually just names. In addition, he and the governor Wang Hailong It is a teacher-student relationship, so Wang Hailong regards her as an absolute confidant, and let him do any shady things.

他详细地列出了自己成为长史这些年，被迫收取了多少贿赂，这些钱的去处，每一笔都有详细地记载。

Regarding the corruption of officials in Fuzhou, what he said the most was that the grain distributed by the imperial court never passed through the official warehouses of Fuzhou, but was transported overnight to various rice farms in the city and sold at high prices. Only a small part fell into Wang Hailong's pocket, and the rest, he checked secretly, was transported to a place called 'Tai Sui Zhuang'.

As for the funds allocated by the imperial court for water conservancy repairs every year, they were actually distributed to Zhou, Wang, Xie, and Cui, a few rich men, who used their names to contribute funds to build a large number of weirs and ponds, and then sold water to the common people for more money. Huge profits, and the money from selling water every year, also flowed into this place called 'Tai Sui Zhuang' through the hands of several rich men.

Not only that, but Zhang Yi also mentioned that many young girls disappear without reason every year in Yanzhou City. I left 'Tai Sui Zhuang' and have never been able to come out since then.

In Zhang Yi's letter, he also revealed the truth about the "theft case" that year. At a banquet, he saw Wang Hailong bowing his knees to Liu Cheng, who was still a general. Later, after the "theft case" occurred, Wang Hailong asked him to transfer It was precisely because of this that the batch of money and food led to the disaster of death.

Zhang Yi evaluated Liu Cheng, the real culprit of the theft case, as cruel and ruthless, and cautious. After sitting on the governorship, Liu Cheng began to eliminate the participants. Zhang Yi found out the news from Wang Hailong in advance, knowing that he would die, so he set about Arrange Zhang's retreat, and put a large amount of criminal evidence collected into an iron box, and bury it in the south of Nanshan Temple. I only hope that after my death, the truth will be revealed one day.

After reading Zhang Yi's letter, Li Lingyue checked the ledger again, and the result became more and more angry. The dirty things that the officials of Fuzhou have done over the years can not only be described as "too many to write down", it would be too late to list just one example. .

From Zhang Yi's letters, the place 'Tai Sui Zhuang' was submitted many times, which naturally attracted Li Lingyue's strong curiosity.

It is estimated that the level is not enough, Zhang Yi did not mention the specific location of Taisuizhuang in the letter, but what is certain is that the source of all crimes comes from this Taisuizhuang, perhaps the owner of this Taisuizhuang is the one who controls the entire The behind-the-scenes boss of the state officialdom.

For some reason, a familiar face gradually appeared in her mind.

The top priority is to find Taisui Village, and everything will be revealed.

Since the governor of Fuzhou and all the rich men are collecting money for Taisuizhuang, it means that Taisuizhuang must be within the boundaries of Fuzhou.

After returning to the camp, Li Lingyue immediately arranged a large number of manpower to search the large manors with a radius of [-] miles in the city of Yanzhou. As long as they found a heavily guarded house, they would be regarded as suspicious objects.

Of course, she herself was not idle, and immediately went to see He Shan, who was recovering from his injuries, and asked him to take someone to the governor's mansion immediately to fetch him.

有张毅的证据在，就算不能定刘诚的罪，也得抓起来严加审问。

As everyone knows, when He Shan limped to the Dudu Mansion, there was no sign of Liu Cheng.

The entire Dudu Mansion went to the empty building, except for the two guards at the gate, not even a single servant was left.
