”Cai Songpo came here only to seek his former friend's place of residence,” Tang said. Otherwise, it would be difficult for him to move a single step. We'll send more people to keep an eye on all the places he might go. If that was the case, wouldn't capturing him sooner or later? ”This is called: Dig down the pit to capture tigers and leopards, and remove the fragrant bait, fish and claws!”
The two of them laughed out loud. Chen said in agreement, ”This method works. Brother Tang is indeed shrewd and astute. If we do catch him, we will live up to the President's nurturing and trust. ”
Tang Songpo, on his way here, must first pass through Xiangchu. He must stay in these two places for a few days, and I will go there myself to set up a trap for him. ”If the two of us work together, we can guarantee that we can catch an extraordinary ant, not to mention capturing Cai Songpo.”
”En!” Chen nodded in agreement.
Tang Biao Ming immediately stood up and said, ”Brother, you are the one who will set up this place. I will take my leave now. Please listen to my good news. ” He quickly led his entourage back to Hunan and Hubei to capture Cai Songpo.
Chen immediately ordered his agents and killers, ”This is a matter of time. All of you, move out at the same time and monitor all of Cai Songpo's relatives and friends' homes. You have to capture him.” ”If any of you among us wants to hide Cai Songpo, I must do it by martial law.”
”Yes, sir!” all the spies answered in unison. After that, they revealed savage expressions and began to move about everywhere.
As the saying went, good things never go out, while bad things spread like a thousand miles. Indeed, it was true. The news that Chen and Tang had secretly set up an inescapable net to plot the murder of Cai Songpo spread quickly.
The news spread to the Pharaoh Temple in Chengdu, causing the anger of all the monks in the temple. The temple elder was very concerned about the safety of Cai Songpo and feared that he would fall into the hands of Chen.
The elder called over the monks from the Shaolin Temple of Mount Song, who was staying at the Temple of Famon. The two of them pretended to walk in the shade of the temple and secretly tried to figure out a way to rescue Cai Songpo.
The elder said: ”I recently heard that Chen officials and Tang Jianming are sending people everywhere to scout for Cai Songpo's resting place. Chen Tang and Chen are the governor of Sichuan Province, control three provinces of power, Yuan Shikai's lackey. They must have meant no good by looking for Cai Songpo. I heard that Cai Songpo has been very unfulfilled since he entered the capital to be an official. He did not know why he had come to Sichuan. We used to be friends, and we couldn't let him fall into the hands of Chen. This time, he must have done something amazing when he left the capital and came to Sichuan. I wanted to help him. ”
”Cai Songpo is a righteous man and a rare good general, worthy of our admiration,” he said. How do you want to save him? ”
The elder said, ”I still haven't thought of a way.” Rufeng said, ”This temple is big and has many monks. Everyone has their own martial arts.” Why don't you bring him here? It's easy enough to hide a person here. ”I expect that those people under Chen's command wouldn't dare to come here and use force so easily.”
The elder laughed, ”That's exactly what I was thinking. I was only afraid that my young monks would go and be killed by Chen's men on the Tsai Songpo Road. If we lose, we will harm the general. ”
When he heard that, Ru Feng immediately became angry. He pounded his chest and volunteered, ”It's easy to take over.” ”I am willing to go and fetch him, and I can guarantee that no mishaps will happen.” The elder laughed out loud. ”I just wanted you to go and fetch him, yet you said what I wanted to say. The only one who will be victorious against this will be you. ”
It was only then that Ruo Feng realized what was going on. ”So you called me here. So there was a group of people waiting to trap me. What an ambush.” After saying that, the two of them laughed.
Rufeng was a daring and daring monk. He was both good and warm-hearted. He was always competitive and had a unique martial art from the Shaolin Temple. He had been invited by the Revolutionary Party to serve as Sun Yat-sen's bodyguard.
Because this person had always been idle, his temperament was cynical, and he was not used to being restrained, he quickly left Sun Yat-sen. Wherever he went, he would act in a chivalrous manner, and when he saw injustice, he would lend a helping hand. Robbing corrupt officials and punishing bullies was something he often did.
Behind his irreverent attitude, he was full of humor and amusement. He had many chivalrous stories, and they were widely read in the people. In his early years, he had joined the Boxer Regiment, and in recent years, he had also participated in the Bailang Intifada, stealing away Zhang Zhenfang's fifty thousand silver taels. The Qing government had sent out a warrant to capture him. Yuan Shikai and Zhang Zhenfang were still thinking of ways to capture him. Not to mention.
However, Rufeng was still an impatient man, so he asked the Elder, ”Fellow Taoist, do you know where Cai Songpo lives now? I will go and fetch him now. ”
The elder smiled. ”You're a crazy monk.” He said that he was in a hurry, like a burning fire. He said that he was working slowly like a cow. Cai Songpo had just arrived in Sichuan, such a large country; how could I know where he was all of a sudden? It will take some time to understand.
Rufeng said, ”Chen Tang and Chen Yu have sharp claws and many eyes and ears. When you find out where Cai Songpo is, it is possible that he has already fallen into Chen's hands. There's no time to lose. We have to think of a way as soon as possible. ”
As expected, the elder became anxious and thought for a while. ”I think that when Cai Songpo came to Sichuan, there should be three main locations for him to rest. The first is where Captain Zhao Zhen is; the second is Fa Hua Temple; and the third is where I am. This used to be where he used to live. ”
”I know Captain Zhao's house and the Temple of Fa Hua,” said Rufeng. ”Why don't I go take a look?” The elder nodded in agreement.
After some deliberation, the two returned to the house. The Elder wrote another letter and prepared a package for them, which he handed to Ru Feng.
Rufeng carried a few silver coins, packed his things, and hurried on his way. He walked for a few days and arrived at the Fa Hua Temple. He asked the elders at the temple and found out that not only did Cai Songpo not come here, but that this place did not know of the news of him entering Chuan.
When Rufeng heard that Cai Songpo didn't come, he finally felt reassured. He stayed the whole night and hurried to the garrison camp, Captain Zhao's place.
