Chapter 38 I have a grudge against you
In the morning, Ye Lin jumped out of the carriage and stretched his body comfortably, the sun was shining, and today was a good day.
"I'll go! What's going on? ”
Ye Lin looked at it, more than a dozen big men fell beside the carriage, or covered their hands, or covered their legs, and some unfortunately covered their heads, the most striking thing was one after two strong men with panda eyes, squatting on the ground holding their legs, staring at Ye Lin who came down immediately.
There were knives, axes, sticks on the ground, and they were thrown to the ground, and Ziyi's voice came from the roof of the carriage: "Dao Chang woke up?" ”
"You did it?"
Ziyi said: "It was done by the concubine, they want to rob, it doesn't seem to be the first time"
"What are you going to do with them?" Ye Lin asked.
"Send the official, maybe you can get some reward," Ziyi said leisurely on the roof of the car.
"Your legs have all been broken by you, and there is no government nearby, how can you send them to the officials?" Ziyun came out of the carriage.
On the roof of the car, Ziyi thought for a while and said, "Why don't you kill them all?" Anyway, according to the law of the Tang Dynasty, it doesn't matter if you kill them, it's really too troublesome to send them to the official, and it's better to die as a laborer for decades."
"Spare your life! We're not robbers, we're nearby villagers, we just want to borrow some money, we're really not robbers! The panda-eyed man turned around and pleaded.
"Woman, I also agree to kill them all, Poor Dao doesn't like to borrow money from others, especially not like being borrowed with a knife and axe late at night" Ye Lin said next to him.
Zi Yi landed lightly on the roof of the car, and a short blade shining with cold light appeared in Zi Yi's hand and turned, Zi Yi nodded and said, "Which of you will come first!" I promise not to feel the pain! ”
"Spare your life! Spare your life! Let us go, we're really the villagers of the neighborhood! ”
As soon as Ziyi's words came out, dozens of men cried and begged for mercy, and Ye Lin said again: "Robbery is also what the villagers should do, this is close to Chang'an, how dare you have it!" ”
"We're being forced too! The master of the temple said that if there is no hundred taels of silver, we will not help cast spells, we will drive away the locust god, we really can't get together so much money, and there are a lot of locusts this summer, so there are no living creatures in the field at all," the strong man on the ground said with a cry.
Ye Lin's complexion changed, dozens of days have passed, and it will be midsummer soon, and the locust plague in the historical records is finally coming, I don't know if it is the time to return to Chang'an at this time. But since it's a locust plague, it's okay to save more food.
Ye Lin thought about it for a long time, and it wasn't until Ziyi poked Ye Lin's head that Ye Lin came back to his senses.
Ziyi asked, "What is the Dao Chief thinking?" ”
Ye Lin sighed and said, "They should be telling the truth, let them go!" ”
"Hey! Feed! I've been tired for a long time, so it's too easy for you to let it go, right? ”
"What then? These people are ordinary people, do you feel at ease when you take their heads to the government to exchange money for money? Besides, there are robbers who came out with this kitchen knife, I'm afraid it won't take much effort to solve these rabbles with your kung fu woman, right? Let's put it on! Ye Lin said to a kitchen knife that fell to the ground.
Ziyi snorted lightly, and jumped on the roof of the carriage dissatisfied, Ye Lin saw this and asked the villagers again: "How many monks are there in the Buddhist temple you are talking about?" ”
The strong man said: "It's Master Kongming, and his eight or nine apprentices, we invite Master Kongming to come in person, we can only invite Master Kongming, the second son of Master Kongming in the temple, to come, but even Master Ming will ask for a hundred taels of silver."
Ye Lin took a breath of cool air, if you don't host a hundred taels of silver, Qingyunguan can't open the pot, on the other hand, a small temple with more than a dozen people here dares to accept a hundred taels of silver, and a hundred taels of silver are not moved, pity yourself, I was excited when I received some silver that day, why is there such a big gap between the monks!
The man lying on the ground said again: "Originally, the master of the temple was invited to drive away the locust god, but it was more or less only a few dozen taels, but who knew that the master in the temple knew that this year's locust god was particularly powerful, so he asked for a hundred taels, saying that this locust god was ordered by the emperor of the cloud, and it would take a lot of mana to drive it away, and it would take ten years of life to do it, and it would be difficult for us old farmers to get together dozens of taels a year." If it is a hundred taels, the whole family will starve to death, and we really can't come up with it, so we come here to scare the passers-by and borrow some money."
Ye Lin couldn't close his mouth in shock when he heard this, the edict of the cloudy sky? Great mana and ten years of life, isn't this an old routine? This monk is clearly sitting on the ground and raising the price, not only can not drive away the locusts, but instead pits the people's money.
The more Ye Lin thought about it, the more uncomfortable he became, so he asked, "Where is this temple?" ”
The strong man replied: "Follow the official road, and you can see it after walking for a while."
Ye Lin nodded, turned around and returned to the carriage, raised his head and said to Ziyi on the roof of the carriage, "Woman, how about we go to rob?" ”
When Ziyi heard this, she suddenly came to her senses, and asked on the roof of the car, "Who is robbing?" ”
Ye Lin replied: "The monk who robbed the temple! ”
Ziyi was puzzled: "Rob the monk? Do they have a grudge against the Taoist? ”
Ye Lin gritted his teeth and nodded: "Yes, the boss is hateful!" ”
Ziyi touched her chin and asked, "What hatred?" ”
"These people are all ordinary people, and the money they pit the people is dozens of taels of silver a year, and it is estimated that more than this villager is cheated by them!" Ye Lin said to Ziyi.
Zi Yi was puzzled: "What does Dao Chang mean, what kind of hatred is this?" ”
"Money hatred! They are so rich! ”
Zi Yi nodded thoughtfully when she heard this, jumped out of the carriage and said to Ye Lin: "Don't hide it from the Taoist, the concubine body also has a grudge against these monks."
Ye Lin looked at Zi Yi puzzled, and Zi Yi continued: "Qian Qiu! It's a big money feud, does the Taoist know where their temple is? ”
Ye Lin was overjoyed and nodded with a smile.
