Daming: Mixed in Dangzhi County, Beiping

"Abbott, this must be the revenge of Marquis Dinghai!"

"Amitabha, cause and effect reincarnate, we deserve to be punished!"

"But Abbot, if this happens, those monks will blame me for this matter!"

"It was originally because of our greed for profit that we should be punished this time!"

"Abbott, I am not willing to give in! This matter is clearly their plot against Tianxi Temple. Why do we keep silent, causing His Majesty to bear a grudge against us?

Moreover, Marquis Dinghai is not only His Majesty's favorite, but also the Prince's mentor. If we don't untie this knot, His Highness the Prince will also hate us!

If the two princes hate us, how can our Tianxi Temple prosper?We are Buddhist sinners..."

"Amitabha!"

Fa Miao sighed with a sad face, "At this time, I will give you an explanation!"

……

night.

As soon as Zhang Yan returned home, the housekeeper came up.

"Master, someone sent a letter in the afternoon!"

"letter?"

Zhang Yan frowned slightly, feeling something was wrong.

Immediately, he opened the letter and read it.

"Wishful thinking? Now that we're on the boat, how can we get off?"

With a cold smile, Zhang Yan said to the housekeeper: "Send someone to keep an eye on those old monks at Tianxi Temple. If they dare to be so naive, send them to death!"

The butler looked embarrassed and bowed his hands, but there was no trace of surprise on his face.

"Yes, sir!"

Watching the housekeeper go away, Zhang Yan raised his head and glanced at the back house, then walked to the study with a firm expression.

He was also forced to board the pirate ship and could only walk all the way to the end without a chance to get off the ship.

It's just a pity that all the family members have been killed!

Sitting in the study, Zhang Yan thought for a moment and then shouted outside.

"Someone, go and summon the second young master!"

"Yes, sir!"

Zhang Yan has two sons and one daughter.

The eldest Zhang Quan entered the court as an official and was the chief official of a prefecture and county. He had a good reputation and was deeply loved by the people.

But the second eldest child, Zhang Dan, although he was smart and alert since childhood, he was the youngest son of the Zhang family. He was very pampered and did not study hard. He hung out with a group of people all day long.

Regarding this, Zhang Yan asked a strict teacher to discipline him at first, but his wife was quite doting on him, and Zhang Dan was also thick-skinned and tough-boned. No matter which strict teacher he was, he couldn't discipline him. As time went by, Zhang Yan had no choice but to give up.

Yes, this time...

Just as Zhang Yu was thinking, a generous young man walked in from the door.

"Father, are you looking for me?"

"Ok!"

Zhang Yan nodded slightly and said, "We have something to arrange for you to do!"

"what?"

Zhang Dan immediately opened his eyes wide and looked at Zhang Yan with surprise on his face.

"Dad, you have finally seen my child's talent. Tell me, what are your instructions? My child will do it perfectly for you!"

Zhang Yan said quietly: "I will give you 500 taels of silver and ask you to buy some goods anonymously, go to Fujian, find someone, and do business with him. It would be better if you can go to sea..."

"Go to sea?"

Zhang Dan couldn't help but look confused.

"Dad, when you were in Yunnan, didn't you dislike merchants and those people who went to sea to do business? Why did you do it again...?"

"One moment, another moment!"

Zhang Yan glared at Zhang Dan, "Do you want to go?"

"go with!"

Zhang Dan nodded repeatedly and said firmly, "My child will never disappoint my father. I will definitely earn millions of dollars for my Zhang family!"

"Very good!"

Zhang Yan nodded slowly and warned again: "But your name and family name must not be revealed to anyone!"

"Dad, I know that no prince, nobility or prince of the fourth rank or higher, inside or outside, is allowed to let his children, family members, or servants open shops in the market, make money and make debts, or go out to do business in salt or goods. I will never let him. My identity is known to outsiders!”

Zhang Dan chuckled directly.A trace of relief flashed in Zhang Yan's eyes, "You will have to go for several months or even a year or two. First go and say goodbye to your mother. Early tomorrow morning, we will send someone to send you away secretly!"

"Yes, Dad!"

Zhang Dan responded happily.

That night, Zhang Dan had a dinner with his family.

After dinner, Zhang Dan was called forward by Zhang's mother alone. After looking at it in detail for a long time, she gave Zhang Dan some silver coins in private, and reluctantly gave Zhang Dan instructions again for a long time before letting Zhang Dan go.

This time, Zhang Dan also felt a little sad.

However, he was looking forward to the fact that his father would finally let him go and let him go on his own. Zhang Dan was so excited that he didn't sleep well all night.

The next day.

As expected, Zhang Yan did not break his promise, so he sent two of his confidants to secretly send Zhang Dan out of the capital.

Go all the way south.

Jinyiwei commander Si Nei, Zhao Hu received the report as soon as Zhang Dan left the capital.

"Commander, the second young master of the Zhang family was sent away from the capital by that one, with only two confidants protecting him!"

"Oh?"

Zhang Hu's eyes flashed, "Is this guy going to run away?"

"It should be!"

The captain sneered, "The commander, are you going to catch Zhang Dan secretly?"

"After all, Zhang You is the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel. Your Majesty has not issued an order for a day, and Zhang You is not guilty. We cannot be disrespectful to Zhang You and his family."

Zhao Hu shook his head slowly, then thought of something, and said again: "However, that Zhang Dan should be carrying a lot of silver! If someone can rob that Zhang Dan and lock him up for half a month, it will be a good idea for him." We’ve saved ourselves a big deal!”

The captain nodded directly and said: "Commander, don't worry, there will definitely be someone who will be greedy for the money on Zhang Dan!"

"Very good!"

Zhao Hu nodded slightly.

The captain once again raised his hands towards Zhao Hu and withdrew.

Another half day passed.

A school captain suddenly ran in in a hurry.

"Commander, something happened!"

Zhao Hu asked calmly: "What's the matter?"

The captain said hurriedly: "Reporting to the commander, the abbot Fa Miao of Tianxi Temple has passed away!"

"what?"

Zhao Hu looked shocked, stood up quickly, and looked at the captain with a surprised look on his face.

"It's so good, how could Abbot Dharmiao pass away?"

The school captain looked strange and said: "Returning to the commander, according to the report from the monks of Tianxi Temple, Abbot Famiao was extremely guilty because all the temple's property fields were taken away, so he passed away on his own!"

"Suicide?"

Zhao Hu also looked strange.

"No, this matter must be reported to His Majesty, and you can investigate later!"

"Humble and obedient!"

The captain quickly bowed his hands in salute, and then hurriedly retreated.

soon.

Zhao Hu also came to the palace.

Upon hearing the news, Zhu Di also frowned and stared at Zhao Hu closely.

"You said that the abbot Fa Miao of Tianxi Temple passed away due to shame?"

Zhao Hu said again: "Your Majesty, this is what the monks of Tianxi Temple said, but Wei Chen feels that this matter is a bit strange and has sent people to investigate!"

"Ok!"

Zhu Di nodded slightly, "If necessary, send someone to do an autopsy!"

"An autopsy?"

Zhao Hu was stunned for a moment, and then he raised his hand towards Zhu Di.

"Your Majesty is wise, I will arrange the manpower now!"

"Ok!"
