Chapter 539: The T-shaped Roller Who Seizes Luck

"Are you sure it's not in Muni Courtyard?" Wu Yaoqing rubbed his chin. Although he tried his best to cover up his accent with Mandarin, because he rarely came to the north, it was difficult to completely avoid the Huaiyang accent.

"Master Wu, we divided into several groups and took turns waiting for three days. We also went in disguised to investigate. Muni Yuan is very small. If there are outsiders, they should not be able to hide it from us." Dao Tiao answered the call. The faceless man was recruited from Northern Jiangsu by Wu Yaoqing. He had been leading people from Xuzhou to Tongzhou for a long time, and he often went to Beijing to do business. This time he was called here.

"Impossible, the news we got was in Muni Yuan." Wu Yaoqing's news naturally came from Wang Wenyan, it was very accurate and there would be no problem.

“Did our client reveal his whereabouts when he came to check first and attracted the other party’s attention?” The man with a sharp face also frowned.

He was sure that there should be nothing wrong with his group, but because he had just arrived in the capital, he was in a hurry, so he had no choice but to entrust a few acquaintances in the capital city, who were actually the bachelor assassins in the capital city. Please help me first check out the monks and nuns who have recently come to Muni Monastery from other places to place orders or stay temporarily.

“Why, those friends of yours are unreliable?” Wu Yaoqing’s heart sank when he heard this.

"It's hard to say. At that time, Mr. Wu, you were so anxious. I'm not very familiar with this place, so I can only ask a few friends to check it out first. You also know that they are used to being arrogant in the capital city, and Muniyuan is It is an ordinary small temple on the edge of the city. I guess they will inevitably write something and pay little attention to it. However, I did not tell them who we were looking for. I only asked them to know if there are any foreign monks and nuns staying in the near future, especially in South Zhili. From over there.”

  What the man with a sharp face said was very objective and there was no excuse.

Wu Yaoqing shook his head. Then there must be something wrong here. But the target was too vigilant. Just like that, he slipped away and hid. This is the capital city. Who dares to do this? What's wrong?

"What can we do about the monks and nuns in the Monastery?" Wu Yaoqing asked calmly: "Also, didn't you say that you sent people to wait outside the Monastery? So where did these monks and nuns go? You should Are you following?"

"Master Wu, although Muni Yuan is small, there are too many temples in the capital city, and they are all related to each other. If you act rashly, you may cause trouble." The man with a knife-shaped face shook his head, "But you said you are following us. We followed because we didn’t know the situation at that time. We knew all the monks and nuns who came out of the Muni Monastery. They mainly went to Huguo Temple to the east of Anren Grassland in the city, and Dinghui Temple to the north of Anren Grassland. Well, now it’s renamed Dinghui’an, and the other option is to go to Jiufeng Temple further north, but there’s no other place to go.”

"Both Jiufeng Temple and Huguo Temple are mainly composed of monks and do not accept nuns to stay. If they want to hide in Jiufeng Temple and Huguo Temple, it is unlikely, but it is hard to say for Dinghui Temple." Dao Tiao Lian. After hesitating for a moment, "I also asked a friend to check it out. The Huguo Temple is too big and the incense is very popular. It is impossible to check it without internal cooperation. The same goes for Jiufeng Temple. It is a big temple in the capital, and ordinary people can't get there. , unless they are from government offices such as Shuntian Mansion or Long Jinwei."

“Which house do you think is most likely to be hidden?” Wu Yaoqing asked directly.

Time waits for no one. He needs to find the other party as soon as possible, and he also needs to convince the girl who is leading the practice to go back to Yangzhou with him. This is also a troublesome matter. According to the news from Wang Wenyan, this girl has a bad temper. He's weird, has a special identity, and can't use force, so it's very tricky.

"It should be Dinghui Nunnery. Dinghui Nunnery was originally Dinghui Temple. More than ten years ago, other monks were arranged to Jiufeng Temple and Huguo Temple. This place became a pure nunnery. This Dinghui Nunnery is very small. , only accept nuns, and Jiufeng Temple and Huguo Temple are both very famous temples, so it is impossible for them to break the rules for anyone." Dao Tiao Lian answered this with certainty.

“Then focus on Dinghui Temple, what are you waiting for?” Wu Yaoqing frowned, why are these people getting more and more unlucky? Have you been idle for too long or something?

"Master Wu, it's not that simple. This capital city is no better than Xuzhou or Yangzhou. There are dignitaries everywhere. The reason why Dinghui Temple was changed from a temple to a nunnery is said to be because Princess Zhongshun regarded it as a place of practice. I often come here to stay for a while, so I sent the monks to Jiufeng Temple and Huguo Temple. Ordinary people can go to offer incense, but if you want to search, I am afraid that even the officials of Shuntian Mansion will have to think twice. Prince Zhongshun Mansion has Several guards live there for a long time, and we might get into trouble if we go."

Wu Yaoqing immediately felt that this matter was troublesome. Of course he knew who Prince Zhongshun was. He was the younger brother of the current Holy Emperor, and he was extremely favored. If this Dinghui Temple was the place chosen by Princess Zhongshun for pure cultivation, if he took people there If you come to investigate, you will get into trouble.

Wu Yaoqing originally wanted to handle this matter beautifully before contacting that person, but he didn't expect that this capital city was really different. Although he could use some underground resources, he really met the people in this capital city. Dragon and Tiger, then you can’t act lightly.

"In this way, you continue to investigate Jiufeng Temple and Huguo Temple, and you can't let go of any possibility. I will handle the matter of Dinghui Temple, and the others must keep an eye on Muni Temple to take precautions."

  ************

“Are you sure you are at Dinghui Temple?” Feng Ziying looked at the middle-aged man in front of her curiously.

He is not yet forty years old and has an ordinary face. When he walks into the street, his face will be lost in everyone. However, Wang Wenyan has told himself that there are several people in the team he manages who have their own strengths, and Wu Yaoqing is one of them. one.

For example, Cao Yu is good at planning and conceiving, and is meticulous and rigorous in his work. His plans are almost always error-free, and he can take into consideration all the issues you raise.

Wu Yaoqing, for example, is specifically responsible for the non-governmental affairs aspect of external relations. He can basically connect with all three religions and nine streams, and he is very skillful and good at using his own resources to unite these non-governmental forces and play a special role.

Of course, there are limitations. After all, the Lianghuai Du Salt Transport Department is limited to the Nanzhi area, so he can be said to be very comfortable in the Nanzhi area. He also has extensive connections in Zhejiang, Jiangxi, and southern Shandong, but in further areas, such as the north, The provinces are beyond their capabilities.

There is also Gu Dengfeng, who is responsible for liaising and coordinating affairs at the government level. On the ground in Nanzhi and even Zhejiang and Jiangxi, whether it is up to the Six Ministries of Nanjing, or the Chief Envoy, Sentencing and Procuratorate, and Dusi in each province He can have connections with the yamen, and even the sub-inspection roads and sub-shou roads below, as well as water transportation, household checkpoints, and even the tax supervisors sent by the palace, and he is also a very effective figure.

Of course Feng Ziying understood what Wang Wenyan meant. He wanted to retain the entire team, so naturally he had to use more flattering words. However, given Wang Wenyan's level, it would definitely be good to be worthy of his praise.

Feng Ziying has always been very particular about employing people. Since he recognized Wang Wenyan, he would let him do it. If he felt that the team had value, he would keep it and even expand it. It would be nothing more than a flower. The matter of silver.

At this point, Feng Ziying is not like other gentry officials who cling to the money and never let go. The money is money only when it is spent, otherwise it will be a pile of dead goods.

"It is basically certain that Jiufeng Temple and Huguo Temple are famous temples in the capital. The precepts are relatively strict. Normal monks and nuns can enter the temples, but there are strict regulations and registration systems for staying overnight, and both temples do not accept female nuns. This is not true. It may be a violation, and the Miaoyu girl and her master have a good relationship. Although the Master Tai has a small reputation in Suzhou Panxiang Temple, it is nothing in the capital city. It is impossible to let Huguo Temple and Jiufeng Temple break this for them. For example, Dinghui Nunnery is different in that it accepts female nuns and has a relationship with Prince Zhongshun, so if I, Miss Miaoyu, felt threatened by the outside world, I would choose Dinghui Nunnery to hide."

Wu Yaoqing knew that finding this person meant that his mission was not a complete success, but he was not the kind to ignore the overall consequences for the sake of the mission. He told all the work he had done in the early stage and explained the reasons for the problem. The right way to be a subordinate.

"At that time, the people below entrusted people from the capital city to investigate first. It is estimated that their whereabouts should have been exposed, which aroused Miss Miaoyu's vigilance. However, at that time, we also arranged for people to stay outside Muni Courtyard. Only three groups of people started when we arrived. I left Muni Monastery during a comprehensive investigation and went to Jiufeng Temple, Huguo Temple and Dinghui Temple respectively, so we can basically identify Dinghui Temple as the most suspicious."

 Feng Ziying actually had a very good impression of the person in front of her.

Although the other party failed to complete the task, the work done in the early stage was quite solid and feasible, step by step, and methodical.

 It's just that their base is in the south, and they still have few followers in the capital, which is why they made such mistakes.

If we can cooperate with Ni Er and his gang, we can open up the line from Yangzhou to the capital city, and there will be capable people in the north and south. But Ni Er and his gang can do some odd jobs below, and they have to be like People like Wu Yaoqing came to coordinate the planning.

Of course Feng Ziying knew about Dinghui Nunnery. It was a small nunnery on the Zhongjie Hutong in the southwest corner of Fucai Square. It was already next to the city wall and next to Anren Pasture.

The reason why Feng Ziying knew about it was because the nunnery was not far from Huguo Temple. Daiyu and the others thought that there were too many people in Huguo Temple and it was too noisy. They wanted to go to Dinghui Nunnery to offer incense, but Dinghui Nunnery was too deserted, so Give up.

It’s just that they didn’t expect that this would be Princess Zhongshun’s place of cultivation, which made Wu Yaoqing and others find it difficult and they didn’t dare to act rashly.

Forget it, I happen to want to meet King Zhongshun, and this girl Miaoyu has become my life-saving straw now. I have to meet her before she agrees. Wait, Miaoyu?

Hmm, could it be that the hair-wearing practitioner in "A Dream of Red Mansions" regards everything as vulgar and only has a blue eye for precious jade?

What should we do, brother Baoyu? Feng Ziying felt for a moment that she was really here to steal Jia Baoyu's luck. Everything about you should be mine?
