"Under the accusation? When did the Jinyiwei beg him?" Mao Xiang smiled grimly and said to his subordinates: "You go and greet this monk until he can tell the truth!"

Seeing his subordinates rushing to the monk like a wolf, tied him up and then punched him. Unfortunately, this is not the Jinyiwei's prison, and there are no torture instruments for torture, but even this is the old monk couldn't stand it, and was beaten and screamed in pain.

At this time, Mao Xiang turned his head and looked at Jiang Youlang and said, "Who are you? Is there anything you need to come to the temple to find the host? Are you discussing how to hide His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in some other place? Look at what the old monk is now. If you don't tell the truth, you will end up with him..."

Jiang Youlang glanced at the old monk who was already bruised and swollen, and said timidly: "Caomin came to the temple to fulfill his wish... Sir, don't misunderstand, I have nothing to do with the monk in the temple. Caomin has a sick wife at home, so let me go...Caomin will never enter the temple again..."

"Can I believe your nonsense?" Mao Xiang sneered, pointed at Jiang Youlang and said to the other Jinyiwei behind him, "You can also greet him, and you will beat them until they die without telling the whereabouts of the crown prince."

At that moment, several Jinyiwei rushed over and punched Jiang Youlang. Jiang Youlang pretended to be painful and screamed and rolled on the ground. After being beaten for a while, he suddenly shouted loudly: "I said! I was sent by Zen Master Yao Guangxiao here to meet with Master Abbot... Master Abbot hid the prince's grandson Zhu Yunwen in the temple. I came to discuss how to transport His Highness out of the city..."

After hearing this, the old monk who screamed repeatedly, hurriedly shouted: "Not accusation! The monk does not know this person... Zen Master Yao Guangxiao is here to hold orders, but he hasn't been to Zhaoxiang Temple for two years..."

"Well said..." Mao Xiang sneered and said, "Someone has already recognized you here, you bald donkey is still dying. When I find His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in this temple and send you to the execution ground, do you see your stubbornness? You continue to greet him... you, take me to invite His Royal Highness the Crown Prince out."

Seeing Mao Xiang pointing at him, Jiang Youlang shook his head in horror and said, "I'm here to invite His Royal Highness the Emperor, but I really don't know where he is hidden... A big man like the Emperor's Royal Highness may not be hidden in the temple. He may also be hidden in other places outside the temple by a monk..."

Mao Xiang was stunned by Jiang Youlang's words. Which end did this weak young man come from?

Just now, he only got two mouths and told him about Yao Guangxiao's request to pick up the crown prince. Now he is hinting that the crown prince may have been hidden outside the temple by the monk? Is this person a detailed work by His Majesty who is hidden beside Yao Guangxiao?

Then we should be kinder to him, at least we can't beat and scold him anymore... At that moment, Mao Xiang ordered the search of the temple, and walked to the old monk. He took out a silk handkerchief and wiped the blood from the old abbot's face, and said, "To be honest, Your Majesty gave me a day to find His Royal Highness the Emperor. If I didn't find it within a day, I would be insured. But before I die, you must pull you monks as a cushion. Then you bald heads will be cut off one by one for me to bury... The person came and arrested all the monks and pilgrims in the temple. Divide them into six equal parts, and kill one sixth of them every hour. In this way, no one of these monks will be left at dawn tomorrow..."

The Jinyiwei at the door agreed and went out to do things according to the order of the Jinyiwei commander.

Seeing that the old monk was already in shock, Mao Xiang said to the Jinyiwei who had beaten the abbot just now: "You guys sort out this monk and take him out to see how the first monks went to the Western Paradise."

After saying that, Mao Xiang turned around and walked to Jiang Youlang. After helping him up with his own hands, he said, "This time, as long as you can safely invite His Royal Highness to the Crown Prince, I will report to Your Majesty to invite you to the Jinyiwei. Please be a polite envoy. If you still can't find His Royal Highness after a day, we two will die together..."

Jiang Youlang hurriedly knelt on the ground and saluted Mao Xiang, saying, "I must try my best to find His Royal Highness the Emperor... I dare not think about the policing envoy, and I am satisfied if I can save my life."

Mao Xiang thought this person was a detailed work sent by the emperor to Yao Guangxiao, and looked down on this fourth-rank polite envoy. After laughing dryly, he ordered people to take the monk and Jiang Youlang out of the Zen room. After they came out, they saw that the open space of the hall was full of monks and pilgrims who came to attend the Dharma Assembly.

These monks and pilgrims have been divided into six parts, and dozens of Jinyiwei walked back and forth with embroidered spring swords in their hands. When they saw the commander and the old abbot covered in blood, they saluted their boss one after another.

"No need for these false gifts. If you haven't found that noble man tomorrow, I don't know who will be your commander for me..." Mao Xiang took a deep breath and turned to the monks and pilgrims kneeling below and said, "Listen! A noble man was hidden by your host abbot. If anyone knows the whereabouts of that noble man, I will let you monks go. He also reported to the emperor to reward you with heavy rewards..."

When talking about this, Mao Xiang paused, his eyes slowly turned around the monks' faces, and then continued, "If you don't speak, you will cut off the heads of one-sixth of you every hour. After six hours, you still can't find the words of that noble man. None of the monks and pilgrims present can survive... Abbot, you are the last one, see when you can grit your teeth."

After saying that, he waved his hand and said to the subordinates of the Jinyiwei who were below: "The first monks will send them to the Western Paradise now! Prepare..."

Dozens of Jinyiwei immediately arrived at the monks on the far left, and raised the embroidered spring swords in their hands. They just waited for the commander to cut off the heads of these monks at the command.

At this time, Mao Xiang turned his head to look at the old monk whose lips were already trembling, and then sneered, and said, "These monks all died because of you, don't you tell me yet, right? Take action and send these monks to see their Buddha..."

Seeing that the Jinyiwei was about to take the knife down, the old monk shouted, don’t do it! I said... you let all the monks and donors go first..."

"If you say it, they will let it go..." When he spoke, Mao Xiang could feel his voice trembling slightly. He tried hard to calm down his mind and continued, "It seems that abbot, you didn't tell the truth just now. But it doesn't matter... As long as you say it now, you and these monks can still save your life..."

After silently chanting the Buddha's name, the old monk said to Mao Xiang: "The monk really doesn't know where the Grand Prince you are talking about is..." Halfway through his words, Mao Xiang's face had already sunk again. After seeing this, the old monk continued, "But Master Yao Guangxiao was in the villa of Zhaoxiang Temple. He went out from the back mountain gate. He walked forward two miles and could see the villa. Go and ask him..."

Although he did not get Zhu Yunwen's whereabouts, he still knew the whereabouts of monk Yao Guangxiao. The emperor's detailed work had already shown that this matter was related to this monk. Mao Xiang knew Yao Guangxiao's background. Such monks were not something that others like him could deal with.

But now the crown prince is in the hands of this monk, and he knows that he will be defeated and he will try anyway. At that moment, Mao Xiang said to his subordinate Jinyiwei: "Han Qianhu, please take someone to guard these monks, and the rest follow me to find Yao Guangxiaohe..."
