After Luo Lingwei had arranged everything, she called Little White over and had her bandage the wound on the monk's head. After Yuan Zhen finished bandaging the wound, he kneeled on the ground and kowtowed towards Luo Lingwei. He looked just like an ordinary villain, and did not look like his usual high monk self.

"Speak!" Luo Lingwei patted the log on the table and said to Monk Yuan Zhen.

"As you command!" The monk nodded his head repeatedly and told Luo Lingwei about the 'Enlightening Mind Temple' that he knew.

Thirty years ago, a monk around the age of ten was sent to the Brightheart Temple by his family. At that time, Zen Master Zhixin was already a monk in the temple who could sit together with the old abbot and discuss the Dao. After the arrival of Little Yuan Zhen, he was arranged to be under the tutelage of Zen Master Ming Xin and became his First Disciple, with the title of Yuan Zhen.

In the following years, Yuan Zhen grew up into a small monk that was about eighteen or nineteen years old. Wu Xin often took Yuan Zhen around with him, and during this period, Zen Master Wu Xin brought him to secretly eat and drink meat.

Later on, after the old man was completely silent, he passed the position of Reverend to the Comprehension Letter. Relying on the accumulation and accumulation of Ming Xin Temple in the past few decades, Wu Xin showed that he had actively promoted Dharma to the local villagers, and through his contacts with nobles and local families, as well as with the county magistrate, he initiated one "donation after another." After all the people in the county had donated money, he returned the village gentry and the county magistrate's "Bushido" as much as he could, and the rest of the fortune was split between the village gentry and the townspeople.

When it was time to repair the temple, Zen Master Wu Xin would send someone to initiate another fundraiser.

Moreover, Zen Master Wu Xin would occasionally send a few vigilant monks down the mountain to play tricks or poison the nearby villages. When someone in the village was poisoned or frightened, they would send someone down the mountain to help the villagers dispel the poison.

After a while, he managed to gain the trust of the villagers. Then, the Zen Master Wu Xin resorted to the old trick of sending people to talk to the gentry about how they should "donate" their fields to the temple, which would encourage the local people to donate their lands. The gentry would donate their lands to the temple, and according to the laws of the Great Xuan, the temple fields would only pay half the taxes of the ordinary fields, so many gentry would be happy to keep their lands under the name of the Brightheart Temple for the time being.

As a result, many citizens who did not know the truth were fooled. Some of them not only gave their land to the Enlightenment Heart Temple, but even gave their own property to the temple.

However, the Monk of the Brightheart Temple was not satisfied with just this. Aside from a few old monks who were too old to move, as well as a few insignificant Taoists, almost all of the people in the temple were working together to defraud the common people and amass wealth in private.

Moreover, within the temple, there were many acts of murder and looting. The first one was a wealthy businessman from Beijing. This person had been out doing business all year round. This time, he passed by the Enlightening Mind Temple in order to stay the night in the mountain temple. However, he didn't expect that such a murderous intent would be hidden in this peaceful and quiet buddhist land.

That night, the rich merchant was drugged by the Monk of the Temple, and became unconscious. After taking away all the silver taels and banknotes that the rich man had brought, he sent a few strong monks to kill him with a single slash. After that, they split him up into eight pieces and buried him in an ancient forest at the back of the mountain.

Since then, the people of the Enlightening Mind Temple had been unable to stop themselves from committing all sorts of evil deeds, from murdering people to defrauding them, all the way to petty theft.

As for that weirdly dead little Shamei, who had been at Aunt Wang's house, she was previously a murderer of a young lady in the middle of the night and had been thrown into the wilderness. Until now, this was an unsolved case in this county.

As Yuan Zhen thought about it, he spoke of all the crimes that the Brightheart Temple had committed in the past few years. After he finished speaking, everyone present could not help but take in a breath of cold air.

He had just taken up his post last fall, so he was still a good official. However, he was loyal, so he didn't think too much about it when he heard that Zen Master Wu Xin was a high priestess in the country. When Zen Master Wu Xin came to visit him, he didn't think too much about it. Now that he thought about it, that person had wanted to curry favor with him and pull him down from their boat.

After Yuan Zhen said this, the entire main hall burst into an uproar. Everyone was discussing the matters of the Enlightening Mind Temple.

Just at this time, Luo Lingwei clapped. She knew things were not good, so she quickly called the county magistrate: "Quick! Go and chase back the head, tell them not to go to the Brightheart Temple! If we go to the Enlightening Mind Temple, I'm afraid that they will lose their lives! "

This Enlightened Mind Monk knew that his lawsuit was a huge case, and now that Luo Lingwei had stirred it up, everyone knew that it was a lawsuit. With their personality, they definitely wouldn't give up and give up.

"Zhang Long, take my messenger token and go to the nearby prefectures to mobilize troops for help! "Come back early. If you come back late, all the people here might have died at the hands of the bandits!" Luo Lingwei said sternly to Zhang Long.

Zhang Long knew that this matter was of great importance, so he took the token and left the court at a brisk pace without saying a word. He mounted the horse and left the county town.

At this moment, the people in the hall still didn't understand what had happened.

"Esteemed wangfei, this …" Zhi County probed Luo Lingwei.

However, Luo Lingwei's face sank as she said to the remaining officials: "Wait for True Monk Yuan to draw the picture, and then you can put him in the male overseer's office. After that, he brought his family members to the county magistrate court. Then, he sent a few people to buy some food. The remaining people sealed off all the front and back yards of the county magistrate court. We need to defend this place! "

"Esteemed wangfei, what makes you say that?" Zhixian still did not understand.

Luo Lingwei sighed helplessly: "The case of the Brightheart Temple involves a lot of people, and all of the local nobles and gentry are involved. If we want to end this case, those nobles and gentry will definitely be involved, lying about the property, and even defrauding the common people, just adding these two together would be enough to take a whole family's life. Also, since the abbot of the Bright Heart Temple comes to curry favor with you, do you think he won't go and curry favor with the county's military chief? Although there are only two hundred soldiers in the village, that is more than enough to kill everyone present. "

Luo Lingwei's words brought everyone back to reality as the court suddenly became a mess. But a moment later, Luo Lingwei reorganized the order and everyone went to pick up the family members and buy the food. The manager then led some people to go through the treasury and bring out the weapons.

With this commotion, the sky quickly turned dark. At this time, there were already forty to fifty people in the front and back courtyard of the yamen.

After dinner, everyone looked outside the county magistrate's office nervously, not daring to breathe loudly. It wasn't until the ninetieth day that everyone finally felt at ease. Everyone thought to themselves that Luo Lingwei was truly startled.

At that moment, a torch suddenly appeared outside the county magistrate court and the sound of footsteps rang out!
