Chapter 174 The mastermind behind the scenes

Mao Chenglu fired a shot.

It hit the middle-aged monk who was leading the group on the right chest.

The bullet went straight through his chest.

This won't cause immediate death though.

But the middle-aged monk was also seriously injured.

"Uncle Master, how are you?"

"Uncle, are you okay?"

"As soon as they arrived, they injured my uncle, so I fought with them..."

The monks of Jile Temple started shouting.

Then, relying on their martial arts skills, they all wanted to rush forward and fight.

Mao Chenglu didn't waste any time talking to them.

He raised his hand and fired a few more shots.

The most active young monks were all hit by bullets and fell to the ground.

But even at this point.

Still failed to intimidate those monks.

The remaining uninjured monks continued to rush out, wanting to avenge their companions.

Then Mao Chenglu waved his hand and said: "Try to save their lives. As long as you don't kill them, you can beat them as much as you want. Go ahead..."

The soldiers around Mao Chenglu rushed forward.

They shot at the monks of Jile Temple.

“Bang, bang, bang…”

In an instant, gunshots, screams, and shouts of killing filled the air.

These monks in Jile Temple have obviously practiced martial arts.

But it is obvious that his martial arts level is not very high.

What's more, no matter how good your martial arts skills are, you are still afraid of a kitchen knife.

No matter how good your kung fu is, you can be knocked down with one shot.

Even if they are skilled in martial arts, it won’t be of much use!

So those monks who wanted to fight to the death didn't hurt the soldiers at all.

They were all shot and fell to the ground.

After those monks fell to the ground injured.

He still glared at Mao Chenglu, Mao Wenlong and others.

There was deep hatred in that look.

Mao Chenglu turned a blind eye and led his team straight in to charge.

At the same time, in other directions of Jile Temple.

Gunshots were heard one after another...

……

The soldiers rushed into the Jile Temple.

Anyone who dares to resist.

The soldiers immediately opened fire.

If they encountered someone who dared not resist, they would tie him up.

Thousands of soldiers went in and were busy for about half an hour.

Searched every corner of the Jile Temple.

All the more than 200 bald donkeys inside were tied up.

And gathered those monks in the square outside the main hall of the temple...

Make sure the temple is safe.

Mao Wenlong was under the heavy protection of the soldiers.

Walked into the Jile Temple.

Mao Wenlong walked in and took a look, but didn't see anyone special.

It looked like there were just a bunch of monks.

Then Mao Wenlong ordered: "Interrogate everyone separately, and after the interrogation, summarize all the confessions and verify them with each other."

Mao Chenglu: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I promise to complete the task..."

Then Mao Chenglu brought a few people.

An elder from the Jile Temple was taken away.

The other monks were also captured by the warriors.

They were all taken to a building inside the temple and brutal interrogation began.

Some soldiers have skills.

Directly torture the enemy by slow slicing.

Most soldiers don't have the skills of interrogation.

Then they could only whip him, cut his ears with a knife, pull out his nails, chop off his hands and feet, etc.

Attempting to use violent and bloody means.

Get useful information from the enemy.

Some fighters are more flexible in their thinking.

Seeing that those bald donkeys were very stubborn, the usual interrogation methods had little effect on them.

Just find animals such as ants, mice, insects and cockroaches.

Then tie up the enemy's trouser legs.

Put the little animals in through his belt.

Some warriors also resorted to burning or water torture.

Anyway, there are many different methods of interrogation.

But overall, the interrogation was quite effective.

Soon confessions began to pour in.

Once people start confessing, more and more people will confess...

Except for a few diehards.

Most of the bald donkeys are nominally monks.

In fact, when it comes to drinking, eating meat and playing with women, these bald donkeys are more proficient than each other.

Such a bald donkey has no faith.

Willpower is definitely not that great.

So one by one, they explained everything they knew...

……

Mao Chenglu summarized all the confessions.

Then it was handed over to Mao Wenlong.

Mao Wenlong quickly flipped through it.

Put aside those insignificant confessions.

He picked out a few more useful confessions and then read them carefully again.

I compared the confessions with each other.

It turns out that it’s not just the Buddhists who are causing trouble.

In the confessions of many monks in Jile Temple.

They all mentioned that some time ago, someone had visited the abbot of Jile Temple.

The two sides talked secretly for a long time.

Then after the stranger left.

The abbot of Jile Temple began to summon people in charge.

They began to use the influence of their Jile Temple to spread the news to the public that sweet potatoes, potatoes and corn were poisonous.

These bald donkeys are very bad and not only want to disrupt spring farming production.

They also continue to incite ordinary people and try to brainwash them.

——Want the common people to hate Mao Wenlong and others!

But he was the stranger who came to visit the abbot of Jile Temple.

Except for the abbot, he didn't know anyone else.

The abbot of Jile Temple committed suicide when he realized that the situation was hopeless!

So, the useful clues were cut off.

Who is the mastermind behind this?

Now Mao Wenlong and the others are confused too.

But except for Jile Temple.

Also involved in this incident were Baosheng Temple, Puzhao Temple and Jingtu Temple.

Mao Wenlong then ordered: "Buddhists often say: If I don't go to hell, who will? Then take all these bald donkeys to the mines and let them do the dirtiest, most tiring and most dangerous work. Let them work until they die, and use death to atone for their sins.

In addition, all the property of Jile Temple was confiscated and the land was taken over by the public. Mao Chenglu immediately led his men to Baosheng Temple, Puzhao Temple and Jingtu Temple.

Try to find a way to catch the abbots of the three temples and find out who is behind the scenes. As for the other three temples, follow the example of Jile Temple..."

Mao Chenglu: "I will obey the prince's order..."

Then Mao Chenglu hurriedly left with his men...

……

Facing the imperial guards led by Mao Chenglu.

The bald monks from Baosheng Temple, Puzhao Temple and Jingtu Temple were all captured like Jile.

The abbot of Baosheng Temple also committed suicide.

However, the abbots of Puzhao Temple and Jingtu Temple were captured by Mao Chenglu and his men.

Mao Chenglu personally led people to conduct the interrogation.

Finally from the mouths of those old bald donkeys.

The interrogation revealed who was behind the scenes...
