Splendid peasant girl busy farming

Chapter 11312

Yang Ruoqing saw Sun and He Lian'er lying on the floor in the middle of the room, and He huddled in the corner, shivering.

Yang Ruoqing's heart sank, and she hurried over with Luo Fengtang, Yang Huazhong and the others, and hugged the three of them into the long-abandoned ancestral hall.

At the same time, Luo Fengtang ordered his secret guards: "Surround this place and check all suspects!"

"Yes!"

……

Yingjiang Temple, in Master Wangchen’s meditation room in the backyard.

There was a secret compartment in the wall behind the bed. When the compartment was opened, there was a pitch-black passage inside. Master Wangchen and his disciple walked out quickly.

The secret door closed again behind them, fitting perfectly with the wall, leaving no trace at all.

"Master, have some tea and take a rest."

The apprentice quickly made a bowl of fragrant tea for Wang Chen and brought it over.

Wang Chen took the tea, but didn't rush to drink it. Instead, he reminded his apprentice: "When you left just now, you didn't leave any flaws, did you?"

The apprentice shook his head: "No, I have experience, and no one will notice that we are playing tricks."

Wang Chen nodded in satisfaction, took a sip of the fragrant tea, and had a look of confidence on his face: "Not bad, not bad, the fishing rod is out, and the next step is to wait for the fish to take the bait!"

The apprentice bowed, his face full of admiration for his master's powerful methods.

"Master, I will go and say hello to Matchmaker Zhang, Chen Banxian, and Doctor Xie later."

"Yes, sure. When you go over, give Matchmaker Zhang a red envelope. You can't let her run errands for nothing for today's matter."

"Yes, Master, I will do it right away!"

Looking at his disciple's leaving back, Wang Chen narrowed his eyes. After leisurely drinking a few sips of fragrant tea, Wang Chen put down the tea bowl and stood up.

He first paced around the Zen room twice, then came to the door and closed it tightly. He then lowered the window and stood behind it, listening carefully to the noise outside.

After making sure that there was no human voice or footsteps outside and that the place was in an absolutely quiet environment, Wang Chen came to the soft couch against the wall in the inner room of the Zen room.

A lotus-shaped cushion was placed on the couch, and a wooden statue of Horse-Faced Guanyin was enshrined in the shrine on the wall.

Wang Chen stretched out his hands to assist the wooden statue and turned it gently. After a series of clicking sounds like gears turning, the Horse-Faced Guanyin slowly turned around, revealing a secret compartment hidden behind it.

The secret compartment was not very big, and there was just enough space inside for a wooden box, which was locked from the outside.

Wang Chen opened the keyhole and just as he lifted the lid of the box to the width of his palm, the light of gold, silver, jewelry, pearls, agate and jadeite immediately leaked out from inside!

The light of these gold, silver and jewels shone on his face, and his extremely old face, which was covered with age spots and large black moles, came alive.

Wang Chen even reached in a hand, grabbed out a handful of golden beans, put them in front of his eyes and observed them carefully. After observing them for a while, he put the golden beans back and took out an ivory hairpin as long as a chopstick from it, and held it in his hand and stroked it inch by inch.

He repeated this process until he had exchanged more than ten items in his hand, all of which were precious gold and silver jewelry and valuables.

There are even silks from Jiangnan, ginseng from the Liao Dynasty, bird's nests from the south, blood ganoderma from the west... All these treasures here were earned, coaxed, cheated, and extorted from devout believers and wealthy pilgrims over the years by Wang Chen, who used his status and position in Yingjiang Temple to win over some helpers in the secular world.

A whole box full of these things; they were his treasures, his wealth, and the source of his life.

These things make the old monk happy, and the threshold of this happiness is far more wonderful and lasting than chanting scriptures, worshiping Buddha, and studying Buddhism.

After Wang Chen immersed himself in appreciating his collection, he closed the box again with satisfaction, locked it, and finally put the statue of the Horse-Faced Goddess back in its place and arranged the cushion.

From the outside, nothing can be seen. Everything is normal in the Zen room. There is only an old monk with a green lamp accompanying the ancient Buddha. He has dedicated his life to the Buddha and is an outsider in the world of mortals...

……

Originally, everyone agreed to have lunch at a teahouse near Yingjiang Temple at noon, and then go back to the He family together after lunch.

As a result of what happened to Sun and the other two, the plan had to be changed. Yang Ruoqing and Luo Fengtang took people to send Sun and the others back to the He family in a carriage in advance, while Yang Huazhong went to the teahouse to pick up the others.

The He family.

When Xiao An heard the news, he rushed back from the Ministry of War as fast as he could.

He's father was also carried out of the prison by Mr. Hu Xuesong himself and sent back to the He family.

Mr. Hu Xuesong personally led people to the He family's shop to help the He family renovate the shop. The customer who had taken the Hu family's money before was now being held by the officials and deliberately passed by the He family's shop. His purpose was to let everyone see that there was nothing wrong with the He family's shop and that it was all framed by this customer.

As for who instructed this customer to come to Zhaizang and frame the He family's shop, it is difficult to elaborate. In a word, the He family is innocent and will resume business soon. We welcome new and old customers and neighbors to continue to come and support the business.

If it weren't for what happened to Sun and the others today, when everyone came back from the teahouse after lunch and saw the attitude of Hu Xuesong and the others, the matter would probably have passed and their anger would have subsided.

But because something bigger has happened now, even if Hu Xuesong and the others showed their utmost sincerity to make amends, Yang Ruoqing and Xiao An had no intention of paying attention to them.

Even when faced with Master Hu Xuesong's request for a meeting, Yang Ruoqing waved her hand and said, "Tell him to go back. There's something going on at home. Tell him not to come over and bother us again!"

……

He's backyard.

Xiao An invited Doctor Xie, the most famous doctor in the Yihechun Medical Clinic in Qing'an County, to his home, where he was taking the pulse and examining the health of He, Sun and He Lian'er.

After a diagnosis, Doctor Xie withdrew his hand, his face solemn: "The three ladies are too frightened, their hearts are palpitating, and their souls are unstable."

"I will prescribe some medicine to calm the mind and soothe the soul. Let the three of you take it first to help you sweat."

"Doctor Xie, what you mean is that this medicine may not be very effective for the three of them?"

He's father came forward and asked worriedly.

Doctor Xie glanced at the three people on the bed and said, "They are not suffering from physical illness, but mental trauma. Doctors heal the body, and medicine is just a supplement to regulate the mind. Let's take it and see, maybe they will get better!"

Yang Huazhong also understood what Doctor Xie meant. "Doctor Xie, from what you said, have you ever encountered this kind of situation before?"

If you haven't encountered it, why do you start saying discouraging words?

Doctor Xie looked a little embarrassed. "I am a doctor. Saving the dying and healing the wounded is my job. I shouldn't have said this, but since Master Yang asked, I will say a few more words!"
