Han’s Son is Not a Slave

Yu Baien bid farewell to Tang Xiao, and did not leave Jiading immediately, but went to Xilin Temple in Huating County next door. ?

The Xilin Temple is very famous in the south of the Yangtze River. It was built in the Xianchun period of the Southern Song Dynasty. It was originally named Yunjian Reception Hospital. There is a pagoda of Chong'en in the courtyard. It is magnificent, but it was destroyed by soldiers in the early Yuan Dynasty. Later, it was rebuilt in the 20th year of Hongwu, renamed Xilin Temple, and built the Xilin Pagoda. The pagoda is seven stories high.

The so-called reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling a thousand miles. Yu Baien came to the south of the Yangtze River mainly to visit the scenic spots. This Xilin Temple is so famous, it is impossible for him to pass by and not enter. In addition, his mother had just passed away, and it was just in this moment that he offered a few incense sticks for his mother, hoping that his mother would reach bliss early.

When we arrived at Xilin Temple, the sun was still at noon. Yu Baien bought incense from the monks in the temple and donated one hundred pennies of oil, so he involved in the incense in the temple. Later, he asked the monk who knew the guest, and he started to tour the temple at will.

Walking in the jungle of stone pagodas, listening to the sound of monks and guests reading accompanied by the sound of bells, I have to say that it is really a fairyland on earth. After swimming for more than half an hour, Yu Baien wanted to leave the temple, but in the middle of the journey he saw a monk leading a young man to the temple in a hurry.

The monk was nothing, but the young man made Yu Baien's eyes shine, because this young man was born with a handsome appearance and looked like a talented person. Yu Baien complimented himself in secret, but he didn't know who was a good descendant. He was really outstanding in character. However, the land of Songjiang is a good place in the south of the Yangtze River. There are many followers of Buddha. There are basically incense halls in the houses of the rich. Therefore, Yu Baien did not pay too much attention to this matter, only that the young man was the son of a large family nearby. It's just that the monk accidentally called the young man "Brother Nalan" and made Yu Baien "squeak".

What makes Yu Baien feel strange is the word "Nalan", because this "Nalan" is not a Chinese surname, but a surname of Jurchen Baihao.

Yu Baien read a lot, experienced a lot, and saw a lot of knowledge. He knew that there was a Jurchen tribe outside the customs called the Nalan tribe. Later, it was annexed by Manzhou, and the people of the Nalan tribe became Manchurians.

Therefore, the young man called "Brother Nalan" is definitely not a Han Chinese, and 99% of them are Manchurians.

Now that Daming has regained Jiangnan, Mantar has either been slaughtered, or fled to the north in a frightened way, why are there people from Nalan in Manzhou?

How could the monks in this monastery be familiar with the Manchurians?

Yu Baien thought it was not easy, so he secretly followed the monk and the young man.

Half of the monastery is open to believers. Now there are many pilgrims and tourists in this monastery. Yu Baien is dressed in a Confucian shirt and looks like a scholar who comes out to wander, so the monks in the monastery do not doubt him.

After following the monk and the young man to the back temple, Yu Baien saw the two enter a wing. He couldn't get close, lest the two of them be found, so he pretended to be tired and rested under the gazebo.

After a while, the young man named "Nalan" came out of the room, said a few words with the monk in front of the room, and then said goodbye. The monk did not send them off either, and went elsewhere on his own.

At this time, there were a few other pilgrims passing by, and "Nalan" glanced at them, but did not pay attention to Yu Baien, who was sitting in the pavilion and resting. Even if he saw it, he just thought it was a pilgrim.

After "Nalan" walked away, Yu Baien hurriedly followed, and then quietly followed. "Nalan" had three or two entourages outside the temple, as well as a carriage. After seeing them get on the carriage, Yu Baien drove towards Jiading.

What is this person doing in Jiading?

Yu Baien became more and more confused, thinking that Jiading was under the rule of his friend Tang Xiaoxian, and there had just been a civil riot. He was afraid that these people might be spies of the Manchurians, and worried that something would happen, so he also went to Jiading.

They originally thought that "Nalan" and his party would go to Jiading City, but they didn't think they did not enter the city, but went to a large village in the east of the city. After staying at the Zhuangzi for a long time, he came out, and then went to a religious temple. Similarly, "Nalan" and his party hurried out of the temple without staying for a long time, but then they entered the city and settled in an inn. After that, he never came out again.

Yu Baien followed all the way, always wanting to find something, but he found nothing. Except for the suspicious surname, the "Nalan" group looked normal, and the followers of "Nalan" were all natives of Songjiang, not from the North.

After guarding outside the inn for a long time, Yu Baien laughed at himself, thinking that he might be paranoid. Aren't they afraid of being trapped by His Royal Highness King Qi just like those Mantars in Nandu?

Perhaps, I heard it wrong, the monk was not calling "Brother Nalan", but something else.

Because the Han people in the city suffered a lot from the previous incident, and let Tang Xiao suffer first from the above, Yu Baien was really embarrassed to go to see his friends again, so he hired a carriage and called the driver to go to Kunshan.

Halfway through, when he passed the outside of the Zhuangzi where the group of "Nalan" had entered earlier~www.wuxiamtl.com~ Yu Baien saw more than a dozen villagers rushing in a few horse carts piled with bamboo poles. There are many uses for bamboo poles. Songjiang is a water town. This bamboo pole is used more. Yu Baien has no doubts. But when he saw a few churchmen passing by in a carriage full of bamboo poles, he couldn't help but feel inexplicable anxiety again.

Yu Baien himself couldn't explain why this unease came from, but he just felt that something was wrong.

He asked the coachman to stop the carriage, gave him some copper coins, and told him to go to the neighborhood to inquire, but the coachman did not find any useful information. Yu Baien wanted to ask the people nearby himself, but he was a foreigner and asked the local people rashly, I was afraid that the effect would not be as good as the local driver.

"Guest officer, are you still going to Kunshan?"

Seeing that Yu Baien didn't say leave or stay, the coachman frowned and urged him. It's getting dark, and if you don't hurry to Kunshan, he won't be able to come back tomorrow.

"Let's go."

Yu Baien really couldn't think of anything, so he could only wave to the driver to come out. Just as the wheel turned, his heart skipped a beat, thinking of a terrifying possibility—a sharpened bamboo pole wasn't a weapon to kill!

On the banks of the Qiantang River in Zhejiang Province, Zhou Shixiang, who had a rare glimpse of the Qiantang River scene, was upset by the urgent report from the Ministry of Military Intelligence. The gang officials really thought that Ma released Nanshan, and the guns and knives were put into storage? People collect bamboo poles everywhere, and they are not vigilant at all? If it weren't for the Ministry of Military Intelligence, I don't know what happened to them when they were stabbed to death by bamboo poles."8
