Chapter 134: Ambush from Three Sides

The two major tools Ouyang masters are: the first is weapons, which are external weapons. The second is newspapers, which are internal weapons. Both of these are great benefits to the ruling class at present, but sooner or later there will be people with knowledge to remind them, so we must protect this weak flame. Ouyang does not ask that he can change the system, but he wants to leave some seeds of capital. At least, it will not take another thousand years to enter the capital society, because the price is too high. To keep seeds, you must protect them, not to fight or scatter, and gather strength. Some people are still thinking about the bankruptcy of the money house, but now everyone's eyes are pulled by Ouyang, and no one will carefully study them. Now the inside and the inside know that they are going to use troops to the Western Xia, and they have no time to pay attention to it.

When Liu Huilan saw Ouyang being confused, she asked, "Sir? What are you thinking?"

"Nothing" Ouyang smiled.

"Sister, sometimes you are too focused, and you still need to help you understand."

Liang Hongyu nodded: "I remember."

"With Hongyu here, I actually feel much better." Ouyang smiled and said, "It's not better than a group of big men at that time, plus Bai Lian and a man-woman, even asking about Han and Leng."

Liang Hongyu said: "I will go to help my sister tomorrow, I'm afraid I can't ask about it normally."

Ou Ping interrupted: "Those two maids are smart, not to ask about them in the future."

"Nonsense." Ouyang gave Ou Ping a blank look: "The rabbit doesn't eat grass by the nest."

Liu Huilan laughed and said, "Sir, rabbits don't eat grass by their nests because they want to keep it and eat it slowly when there is no food. It's not that rabbits don't want to eat it."

"Don't worry" Ouyang grabbed Liang Hongyu's hand: "I don't have that much energy."

"Report" a yamen runner came in: "Sir, the news from the Tokyo Press Station is coming, and you want to see it yourself first. The person coming is about to leave and say he will wait for the adult to reply."

"Huh?" Ouyang took it and was shocked. Wanyan Lan was actually dug out by Li Yifeng. News came that Li Yifeng and four reporters went to the surrounding Taoist temples and the nunnery quietly visited. Hard work paid off. On the west side of Tokyo, the Sanxia Girl Taoist Temple on the same mountain as Zhengzhou showed Wanyan Lan's traces. The reporter asked in the name of missing her sister. One person's characteristics were basically consistent with Wanyan Lan. Moreover, he fainted and was rescued at the foot of the mountain, and he was also a mute girl. The reporter did not dare to be alarmed, so he pushed that his sister's feet were lame and dealt with it. Then he immediately returned to Tokyo to report. Li Yifeng asked Ouyang: Interview, report to the official, ignore it?

Ouyang immediately replied to the fourth answer: "Tell the person who comes, I will go to Beijing tomorrow." It is a fact that he was stabbed, and it is also a fact that he lost more than one million yuan. It is a fact that the government offered a reward of 1,000 yuan. Many facts told Ouyang that he must avenge if he has revenge, but he cannot just take revenge and not get benefits. The court can also make money. Whether it is weapons or dry food, he has to pay for it first. Of course, Ouyang also made a veterinarian. So after Ouyang paid all the working capital, the military factory did not need to stop work at all. I have the veterinarian in my hands.

Ouyang is not encouraged by the people. Even if the bar is looking for a yamen to pay for grain, Ouyang rejects it. He allows loans to be purchased, but he never takes credit. In the face of Ouyang's practice, the bar can only collect cash in wholesale sales. This is the economy. Every family has white papers, and every family has white papers, forming triangle debts. All use is clean and clear, and it also allows Yangping Money House to make a profit from flying tickets. It is impossible to do without flying tickets. Now Yangping Industry is a business of 1000 yuan. Not to mention that it is inconvenient, unsafe, and the journey is not close, which delays business back and forth. The withdrawal of flying tickets from other places solves this contradiction.

The next morning, Ouyang, Zhan Ming, Bai Lian and twenty of the best-schooled yamen runners went to Beijing together. Everyone was fully armed, not only just weapons, but also brought despicable things like **. The goal was very clear, that was, to capture Wanyan Lan alive. Only those who lived could be sold for money. If they died, they would not be worth the penny and they had to pay the burial fee. Moreover, Ouyang still didn't want Wanyan Lan to die, although he could not give a reason.

Liang Hongyu sent her out of the yamen and repeatedly told her: "Be careful, this woman is a general on the battlefield. She smells too much blood, and her Kong Wu is powerful...why should I go with the officials?"

"I understand." Ouyang grabbed Liang Hongyu's hand and said that he knew it. He turned over and said, "I must go and go back quickly."

...

After going to Beijing, they did not enter the capital. Li Yifeng and two reporters were waiting outside the city and joined forces to go to Zhengzhou. This matter should not be alarmed, otherwise others would be killed with one knife. They would be happy. Ouyang's sword was in vain. Wanyan Lan's crime was not accompanied by civil lawsuits.

Under the guidance of the tour guide, I arrived at the foot of the mountain. Then I rested in the village at the foot of the mountain for a night, and then asked the locals about the arrangement of Sanxia Temple. Finally, Ouyang, Zhan Ming, and Bai Lian took the reconnaissance first. Twenty yamen runners followed the local tour guide according to the arrangement and then followed and occupied various intersections.

Sanxia Temple is still a relatively clear Taoist temple. During the Northern Song Dynasty, many female Taoist temples were not incense and gradually turned into kilns. They were also called "combination dual cultivation". Sanxia Temple is located halfway up the mountain, with a Mianmian Back Mountain, and there is an intersection in the north. The task of twenty yamen runners blocked these two roads and roads down the mountain. The yamen runners changed to casual clothes. This is a matter of particularity. To catch Taoist priests in Taoist temples, it is not a token that can be solved. Taoism was a national religion in the Song Dynasty. The search of Taoist temples must at least be approved for the punishment of the whole road, and it must also be approved by the magistrate of the prefectures to which the Taoist temple belongs.

The Taoist temple is not high, and it is only 600 meters above sea level. The mountain road is not steep and dangerous, and the scenery is very good. Ouyang and the other two arrived at Sanxia Temple in more than an hour. Although there is no sign of the incense, there are many people.

"Where did the three lay Buddhists come from?"

"Tokyo." Ouyang replied politely: "This time I am fulfilling my wish for my mother. My mother made a wish here two years ago. If there is any, she will definitely come here to practice for ten days. Please ask the Taoist priest to make a convenient way. How much money is needed, just talk."

The guest chanted the chant again: "Please invite the three lay Buddhists, I will go and tell the master of the Confucianism."

"The Taoist temple is not small, with three floors outside, middle and inner." Zhan Ming whispered: "Young Master, I'm afraid it's hard to buy."

"I'm asking about more than 100 Qing monks here, some who practice hard in the back mountain, and some who are in seclusion. If Wanyan Lan is sent to take care of her and seclusion, it would be difficult not to disturb her." Ouyang asked: "What do you think?"

Bai Lian whispered, "Young Master, set the fire. After the fire is burned, the Taoist temple will definitely gather disciples to count the number of people."

Ouyang Geng whispered: "Do you have any other opinions except the bandits?" In the middle of autumn and winter, the climate is dry and the ignition is smaller. If you step on it, the fire will be extinguished. If the fire is too big, the whole mountain may burn.

Zhan Mingze said: "Catch someone and ask questions?"

"It's OK to ask, but you have to silence me." Ouyang smiled bitterly and said, "This is a Taoist temple. If there is a problem, you will definitely find us. This insulting Taoism can be a big or small crime. It's best to find Wanyan Lan, and then steal it without a god or ghost." Ouyang looked at it while walking and said, "I'll ask someone to ask for some money later."

Zhan Ming hurriedly said, "Sir, this person outside the country has a clear view of the money. If he doesn't control it well, he will repay the viewer and say that we are the best guests, he may just bombard us down the mountain."

"Of course, I can't just go directly. I'll burn incense in the future. When you visit, you will drop a wallet in front of someone. As long as she dares to put the wallet in her arms, she will go to her later. If she returns it to you, don't try it. I won't believe it. More than a hundred people are people who are not in the world."

...

The flute is loud and the wind is about to flow. The quiet night is late and the strings are vigorous. The long-lasting love is the curve of Hengshan Mountain, and the heart is broken in Qinlongtou. This poem is engraved on the wall in the main hall. Ouyang knew that the author of this poem was Zhang Runyu, who lived in Hengshan, and then traveled around the world, which was quite famous. From the Jin Dynasty to the Song Dynasty, there were many female Taoist priests with cultivation, and they were all very famous. Especially Hengshan, almost all the famous female Taoist priests had something to do with it.

"Land Master, I am polite." An old Taoist nun introduced him, and his identity was the subject: "But, this view has rules and does not stay overnight at a male guest. The lay Buddhist is really interested. I can make someone build a thatched cottage at the foot of the mountain, and go up the mountain to do homework together every day, which can be regarded as fulfilling my wish for the mother."

This proposal is really... too nonsense. Ouyang took out his twenty-strong Jiaozi and said, "I'll give it a little money for incense, please don't dislike the audience."

"You are polite," the deity master said after thinking about it, "Please also use tea in the inner chamber."

"Thank you, the master of the temple." Ouyang said: "My mother has always praised Sanxia Temple and often says that this view is extraordinary. I want to take a look, but I don't know if it's convenient?"

"Of course, except that the inner courtyard is the residence of the disciples, lay people can do whatever they want."

"Then I won't bother the Taoist priest, let's take a walk and take a look."

"A layman is free."

...

A young and beautiful female Taoist priest was pressed to the corner of the wall by Zhan Ming. Zhan Ming pressed his left elbow against his neck and held his purse in his right hand and asked, "What does this mean by this Taoist priest? Are Sanxia Temple all such a villain?" This is what Ouyang used to use commonly known as the money-loss party. The money-loss party is mostly used for fraud, robbery and blackmail, and has the accuracy of winning every opportunity for those who are greedy for small gains.

The female Taoist priest said in fear: "Laby, you have something to say."

"Of course it's easy to say. There are ten knots of Jiaozi and 400 scattered copper plates here. If you ask about it, not only will you forget about it, but your wallet will also belong to you."

"Please tell me, layman." There are such good things.

Zhan Ming asked: "Did you save a mute girl at the foot of the mountain a few days ago? Where is she now?"

"She? She was arranged by the owner in the backyard, and she usually chops wood and cooks."

"Take me to the backyard." Don't underestimate a female view. There are talented people like Jiangyang thieves. Although the probability is very small, you must be careful.

So Zhan Ming became the elder brother of this female Taoist priest and came to the inner courtyard without any obstruction. The inner courtyard is a place where the female roads rest. The kitchen, wing room, washing and other life are carried out here. This is still a small view, such as the Guangde Palace in Tokyo, which has four branches, each with hundreds of people. After living for decades, people may not recognize them all.

After entering the inner courtyard, the female Taoist priest and his disciples inquired and led Ouyang to the far left room. Before he got closer, the room opened and a woman dressed in coarse cloth walked out. He and Zhan Ming were shocked and immediately threw the water poke in their hands and ran away. Zhan Ming saw it clearly, wasn't this Wanyan Lan or who? He shouted and said, "Where to go?" He threw the female Taoist priest and chased him.

Zhan Ming chased a circular arch, and was about to determine the direction of Wanyan Lan's escape. A short sword pierced from the left. This move was a backhand and was very powerful. Zhan Ming did not carry weapons because of the secret investigation. When he saw it, his feet stopped and his body leaned back to avoid the prick. However, such an abnormal movement, the human body naturally couldn't stand it. Zhan Ming felt a pain in his waist and groaned. He thought he was dodging his waist. He couldn't catch up with it and could only watch Wanyan Lan enter another circular arch and enter the back mountain.

Wanyan Lan entered the mountain and suddenly stopped urgently. She stared at the forest not far away. She saw the corners of the yamen runners' clothes vaguely, smiled coldly and left.

The small riot caused by Zhan Ming attracted the questioning of the spectator. Ouyang was very good at offering another hundred deeds. The spectator ignored it and asked Ouyang and others to leave Sanxia Temple immediately. Ouyang was worried that things would be a big deal, so even if he caught Wanyan Lan, he would not get any benefits. He could only apologize and leave Sanxia Temple.

After watching, Zhan Ming sighed: "These Wanyan Lan's kung fu are mostly a horse war evolution, but she is not panicked, and she has a few general demeanor."

"Reported" a yamen runner said, "The thief wants to enter the back mountain, but we are found by him, and the thief returns."

"It's hard to deal with, it alarmed her."

Bai Lian said: "Sir, the master of the Guanshi must be inquired about this matter. If he knows his identity, he may expel him from the Guanshi."

Ouyang shook his head: "Bai Lian, you don't understand this monk, and they will not care about the matter before becoming a monk. Otherwise, there would be so many wanted bad people, entering the Tao, or entering the empty sect. Unless you follow the normal procedures, from the arrest documents of Tixing, it means that this person's crime is very serious, and the observer will hand over her. But if that is the case, is it necessary to bring so many people to join in the fun?" The criminals of Song have several ways out, one is to castrate himself and become eunuchs, and the other is to be a Taoist priest and monk. As long as the crime is not serious, no one will pursue it. Of course, it is not enough for you to be willing to be it. If you want to go into these three places, it depends on your fortune. On the other hand, if you commit a crime, you must pursue it. If you have a criminal record before, it is a higher level of crime.

This is how religion is. On the one hand, it contributes to the stabilization of the ruling class, but at the same time, because it does not work, some scum will appear. The scale is too large and will be suppressed by the court. Just like in some modern villages, there are mixed forms of Taoist priests and monks, who usually wear gods and ghosts, and do things in Taoist temples and do things that are not monks or Taoists. Life is rich, but there are also folk rumors that the descendants of these people will not have a good ending. In fact, in modern times, the police would go to the monk temple to arrest people, which is not as simple as a detention certificate, which involves reasons such as social influence. First, we must consider social influence, second, religious influence, and third, international influence.

Bai Lian said: "Let's set fire." She is still quite keen on violent solutions. Although she doesn't quite understand why Ouyang insists on arresting the dead, Ouyang always makes sense when he says it.

"Do you have any other suggestions except setting fire?" Ouyang said: "The intersection where you left the mountain has been blocked, but we can't waste it with her. If the viewer gets angry and sends someone to report to the official, it will be a waste of money."

Zhan Ming said: "Two choices are night walks and setting fires. But the consequences are serious. Once they are revealed, they will sooner or later come to us."

"Risks and returns are disproportionate" Ouyang thought: "It's better to let her come out by herself."

"What do you think of a sir?"

"Retreat, everyone evacuates"

...

Wanyan Lan intuition told herself that Ouyang was using fraud. Not only did he withdrew the yamen runners in the back mountain, but he also withdrew everyone at the intersection in the north and at the foot of the mountain. For three days, according to the Taoist priest who went down the mountain, there were no outsiders in the village at the foot of the mountain. But such information feedback made Wanyan Lan even more uneasy.

If Ouyang did not use fraud and reported to Kaifeng Prefecture, a mere Sanxia Temple would not protect himself. Now the road can only be escaped. But which road should I choose to escape? The back mountain is safest, but after passing the place of the clean and recuperation, there will be no roads, and it can only be a journey to climb mountains and ridges. The north road is safer, and you can directly leave the boundary of Tokyo and Zhengzhou, but the distance is long, so you have to walk a mountain road for one day. It is the most direct and fastest to go down the mountain, and it takes less than an hour. Which one should I take?

Ouyang said: "Don't think about which road she will take because of convenience. The key is what she will do after she finishes this road. The north road is long, and after a day, even if the person in good health wants to find a place to eat and rest. The village nearest exit of the north road has already arranged personnel, so there is no need to worry about this road. She is not afraid to go down the mountain. She will inevitably purchase items and utensils for escape, and at least have to get a set of clothes. It is enough to have Zhan Ming lurk on this side. The most worry is to walk the back mountain. When will it be when you enter the mountain, or whether you can come out alive."

Bai Lian asked: "What if she walks behind the mountain?"

"The possibility of the back mountain is not high, because I arranged suspicious soldiers." Ouyang said: "If you get a few fakes, of course it depends on luck."

Someone? Wanyan Lan lowered her body. She had already left the back mountain, but once she entered the roadless mountain, she found something wrong. The cloth could be seen in the distance, and the birds never gathered in this area, and the sound of birds could hardly be heard. Wanyan Lan was smart, which also meant that she was suspicious. When she saw this, she did not continue to move forward, but came back and headed towards the north.

But unexpectedly, after leaving the North Road trail, what was waiting for her was all the main force Ouyang led except Zhan Ming. Twenty people, each with a crossbow, surrounded her semicircle. Bai Lian led the team leader and shouted: "You can't run away, put down your weapons."

Ouyang Xiao said in a daze: "You really can't run away. But I can guarantee your life safety."
