Chapter 406: Caught Five Big Fish
There are many pilgrims coming to the temple to burn incense, and in front of each Bodhisattva there are devout believers and good women kneeling down in worship.
The younger ones, Daohua and others, followed behind Old Lady Yan, Madam Li, Ms. Sun, and Ms. Wu, all with solemn and pious expressions.
After burning incense, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Yan family went to light the eternal lamp for the ancestors of the Yan family, while Daohua and others left the hall and waited outside.
Outside the main hall, a fortune teller was helping people read their fortunes. Yan Yihan and the other two, as well as Yan Yunxi and Yan Yunyan, were watching with eagerness.
Yan Yile couldn't help but ask, "Big sister, do you want to do a character test or something?"
Daohua smiled and shook her head: "If you want to test it, go ahead. I'm not interested."
After hearing what she said, several girls couldn't help themselves and walked towards the fortune teller together.
Seeing this, Daohua smiled, then looked around and frowned, saying, "Why did Third and Fourth Brothers disappear so suddenly? Let's go look for them."
At the same time, in a Zen temple behind the temple, Wu Jingyi excitedly said to Wu Ye and Yang Chenghua, "Wu Ye, it has been confirmed that the herbalist monks in the temple did indeed collect thorn grass."
As he spoke, he took out a dried thorn grass.
Seeing the thorn grass, the Fifth Master's eyes instantly became deep: "Can you tell me where you picked the thorn grass?"
The excitement on Wu Jingyi's face faded a little, and a look of regret appeared on his face: "The monk who picked the thorn grass went out to collect herbs not long ago, fell off a cliff and died."
The Fifth Master's breath hitched, and he was silent for a long while before speaking again: "It's okay. We've confirmed that the thing is in Ningmen Mansion, and we have a search area. If we send more people, we will definitely find it."
Wu Jingyi nodded, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Fifth Master, it seems that we are not the only ones looking for the thorn grass."
As soon as these words were spoken, Wu Ye's eyes instantly became sharp.
Wu Jingyi's scalp tingled when he was looked at. He lowered his head quickly, not daring to meet his gaze.
Wu Ye: "Who?"
Wu Jingyi swallowed his saliva: "The Jiang family said that they were preparing medicine for Miss Jiang San."
A cold light flashed in Wu Ye's eyes, but it quickly subsided. He picked up the tea on the table and fiddled with it slowly. After a while, he felt that the tea was no longer hot, so he drank it all in one gulp.
Wu Jingyi and Yang Chenghua in the Zen room didn't dare to make a sound.
After a while, the Fifth Master casually asked, "It seems that among the officials punished for the Ji-Guang flood, there were people related to Prince Duan. What happened to them in the end?"
Wu Jingyi lowered his head and didn't dare to answer.
Seeing that he didn't reply, Yang Chenghua had to stand up and said, "It seems that his property was confiscated and he was exiled. The specific matters will be handled by Prince Jiang."
Wu Ye didn't react much, just said two words lightly: "Very good."
Just these two words made the Left General of the Five Military Commandery and the Chief Minister of the Cabinet, Yang Chenghua, feel a chill down their spines.
The emperor was furious when the Ji-Guang flood occurred and ordered the beheading of all officials involved. However, the few officials in charge of the matter were blinded by the high price of life-saving money and resorted to sneaking into Chencang and replacing others.
To put it in a serious way, such a thing is tantamount to disobeying the imperial decree!
“Boom, boom, boom!”
When there was a knock on the door, the expressions of the three people in the room changed instantly, and they became ordinary, honest people.
Eunuch An had been guarding outside the door. When he heard the knock on the courtyard door, he immediately put on a smile and walked over. When he opened the door, he saw that it was the little monk who delivered vegetarian food.
Outside the Zen temple, Daohua was taking Wang Man'er to look for Yan Wentao and Yan Wenkai. When she glanced over, she happened to see the extremely wealthy eunuch An, and her body suddenly stiffened.
Eunuch An smiled and sent the little monk who brought him food away. Just as he was about to close the gate, he saw a little girl looking straight at him. Although he felt a little alert, he didn't care much.
It was obvious that the little girl was from a wealthy family. People like her were usually kept in seclusion and were not to be feared.
Unexpectedly, the next moment, the little girl took the initiative to walk towards him.
"Uncle, may I ask where can I get your vegetarian meals?"
Eunuch An didn't want to get involved, so he smiled and said, "Miss, just ask the monks in the temple and you'll know." After saying that, he reached out to close the door.
However, at this moment, a scolding voice came from the yard.
"It's you two again. Weren't the lessons we taught you a few days ago enough? We should really lead you into the tiger's den."
"You thief, you pretended to be a farmer two days ago and a pilgrim today. What on earth do you want to do by coming to Ningmen Mansion?"
When Daohua walked to the gate of the courtyard, her face changed when she heard the sound, and she almost instinctively sprinkled the sleeping pills in her hand to Eunuch An who was carrying the food box.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
The sound of food boxes falling to the ground and people falling to the ground were heard one after another.
In the yard, Wei Qi, who was fighting with Yan Wentao and Yan Wenkai, heard the sound, turned his head quickly, and then saw a pretty little girl raising a slingshot at him.
Seeing this, he really didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
As the leader of the Royal Guards, he was actually pointed at with a slingshot. How much did this show that he was looked down upon?
Wei Qi was speechless. He ignored the little girl and quickened his hands, wanting to deal with these two ignorant young men.
"Bang!"
Hearing the sound of a bullet breaking through the air, Wei Qi knew it was the bullet fired by the little girl. He did not take it lightly, but picked up a wooden stick and hit it with his backhand, trying to knock the bullet away.
However, as soon as the stick hit the bullets, they scattered.
Then, a faint medicinal fragrance spread in the air.
Yan Wentao and Yan Wenkai knew that Daohua liked to use drug pills as slingshot bullets, so the moment they saw the bullets flying towards them, they immediately stepped back several meters.
Seeing the two people's reactions, coupled with the fragrance in the air, Wei Qi shouted "Oh no!". Just as he was about to call out, he felt dizzy and then fell to the ground with a "bang".
The moment before he fell into darkness, he watched helplessly as the little girl's maid dragged Eunuch An into the yard like a dead pig, and the little girl even considerately closed the gate.
"What happened?"
Wu Jingyi strode out of the room and then froze.
What did he see?
At the gate of the courtyard, a maid was dragging Eunuch An, and another little girl was closing the door.
In the yard, the two young men he favored were kicking the leader of the imperial guards.
This is not the key point. The key point is that both Eunuch An and Wei Qi fainted.
How did they do it?
"Bang!"
While Wu Jingyi was still in a daze, he was hit on the left cheek. He looked up and saw that it was the little girl at the door who was hitting him with a slingshot.
"you."
As soon as he said this, Wu Jingyi felt dizzy, and then his vision began to go black. He stumbled a few steps and fell straight down.
Daohua was worried that there was someone else in the house, so she fired several knockout pills in succession, "bang bang bang", without caring whether they hit the people in the room or not. As long as the pills were scattered, the people inside would be hit.
Sure enough, after just a moment, the sound of someone falling was heard in the room again.
Yan Wentao and Yan Wenkai stared in amazement as they watched their sister knock down several people with a slingshot, and they all gave her a thumbs up.
"Third brother, fourth brother, what are you still standing there for? Hurry up and check if there's anyone else who's still conscious."
Yan Wentao and the other man came to their senses instantly and rushed into the house.
Daohua did not go into the house, but walked around the yard. When she reached the backyard, she quickly raised the slingshot again and hit Wu Ye who had just jumped out of the window with a "bang".
Wu Ye touched his forehead where he was hit, looked at the little girl a few meters away, and before he fell into coma, he cried out in his heart, "I've capsized in the ditch."
Then, the four of them swiftly tied up the five men, Wu Ye.
Seeing that the five people were trapped tightly, Daohua immediately said to Wang Maner, "Maner, go and call Brother Xiaoliu over. We have to transport these five people away immediately, otherwise, when their accomplices come back, we will be finished."
Wang Maner immediately turned around and called for help.
Yan Wenkai pulled the rice flowers and said, "Take it away? Aren't you going to give it to father?"
Daohua shook her head and pointed at Eunuch An and said, "Xiao Yeyang has been looking for these people for a while and asked me not to make it public. Let's hand them over to him."
Yan Wenkai: "The young prince is looking for someone, how come we don't know?"
Daohua shrugged and said, "Don't ask so many questions, Fourth Brother. You and Third Brother should quickly move the person into the box. When Sixth Brother comes, we will transport the person out of the temple."
Seeing that their sister had arranged everything so smoothly, Yan Wenkai and Yan Wentao looked at each other in bewilderment.
Seeing that the two men didn't move, Daohua urged them, "What are you standing there for? Hurry up."
