Lao Wang lived in the Song Mansion like this, but this house's belongings looked a little thin and pitiful, except for a few changes of clothes, it was a small piece of royal gift, there was no specific meaning, and the right was a thought.

The eunuch who left the palace wanted to go back, and an old eunuch like Lao Wang, who entered the palace at the age of nine, his feelings for the deep palace compound were actually very complicated, on the one hand, he was eager to come out of it, and on the other hand, he also had an indescribable concern for that place.

After simply cleaning up a small courtyard, Lao Wang lived in it alone, and Xiao Song knew how big his house was, and his utilization rate of this house has never exceeded 15 percent......

But not to mention, this old eunuch who has served people all his life does have something under his hands when he does his work, whether it is cleaning up the house or cooking and cooking, he is a good hand.

Xiao Song was quite satisfied with this, and deliberately took out some wine saved last year to comfort the poor old fellow.

"Lao Wang, what are your plans for the future?"

The two drank a little wine at the small table, next to a plate of fennel beans and a plate of braised dried tofu, which looked a little shabby, but with warm and spicy wine and snowflakes outside the window, there were some elegant people's bones.

"That's it." Lao Wang laughed, although his tone was lonely, but there was light in his eyes: "It's also great to be a free man before you die." ”

"Okay." Xiao Song raised his glass: "He is a new student." ”

Lao Wang also raised his glass: "Lord Xie Song will take it in." ”

At this moment, Kuang Yusheng, who was far away in Jiujiang County, was wearing a cloak and slowly walked up to the mountain gate of Donglin Temple under the guidance of the guards.

As a serious Qincha, Kuang Yusheng was surrounded by people everywhere he went, so after he arrived here, he had a great pomp, and in addition to the guards, there were more than 40 officials at all levels alone.

"Lord Kuang, please." The monk of Donglin Temple waited at the gate of the mountain early: "The host said that the adults should be invited into the temple to eat some food." ”

"No need." Kuang Yusheng raised his hand slightly: "I have already had lunch, please introduce the abbot of your temple to me." ”

The monk was a little embarrassed, but when he looked up, the guards behind Lord Qincha all looked murderous and not as friendly as the friendly ones, so he had to bow his head and answer and report to the abbot.

After the two entered the meditation room, the abbot spoke first: "I don't know what Lord Qincha is here for?" ”

Kuang Yusheng didn't talk nonsense, just pushed a few pieces of paper in front of the abbot: "Please also ask the senior monk to take a look." ”

The abbot picked it up and just looked around, his face suddenly changed color, he folded his hands and said: "This kind of thing is absolutely impossible, my Donglin Temple has been helping the world and saving people since ancient times, if you receive money, it is against the Dharma." ”

Yusheng shook his head and said: "The imperial court funded the repair of Donglin Temple, and it is natural to collect some incense money. ”

"All beings in front of the Buddha are equal, so how can they receive incense in the name of this? Isn't that against the Dharma? If the imperial court insists on this, there are still some fields under the Donglin Temple that can be supplied to the imperial court, so it will be regarded as my Donglin Temple paying the sesame oil money for the pilgrim. ”

The great monk's cultivation is still good, but he refuses to agree to let his temple collect incense money, and even does not hesitate to mortgage the land in his name.

But this is obviously not the purpose of Yusheng's trip, but he is not Song Beiyun, his temper is very good, and his temperament is also very slow, he just laughed: "The great monk is not right to say this, Donglin Temple is a big temple, and he should lead by example, why is he the enemy of the imperial court decree?" Moreover, this ticket incense was originally returned to your temple, and the imperial court did not take a penny. ”

The abbot didn't speak, but folded his hands and lowered his head and closed his eyes, with the posture that you would come if you wanted to slaughter Lao Tzu.

If this was Song Beiyun here, Bao Buqi would really wipe his neck with a knife, but fortunately it was Kuang Yusheng, who was not in a hurry and just drank the cup of bitter bitter tea in front of the table, and sighed lightly: "That is the case, I won't bother." ”

After that, he turned around and walked out, and this was a refreshing departure that made the abbot a little confused, and he didn't know what he wanted to do, but he didn't dare to come hard, after all, there were many believers in Donglin Temple, and there were many family valves behind him.

Kuang Yusheng walked out of the mountain gate without saying a word, came to the send-off pavilion at the foot of the mountain and looked at Donglin Temple, and stood still for a long time.

"Master Kuang, how's it going?"

The county guard of Jiujiang County stepped forward and asked as if flatteringly, but Kuang Yusheng just shook his head and pointed to this mountain gate: "How much does Donglin Temple occupy?" ”

"One thousand and eight acres."

"Fence it off." Kuang Yusheng pointed with his hand: "Cast a wall outside Donglin Temple." ”

"Huh?" The county guard was dumbfounded: "This ...... Kuang ......"

Yusheng said with a smile: "Donglin Temple is a good temple, don't move it easily, so as not to startle the Buddha, fence this place, and leave only a mouth." ”

"Lord Kuang, I don't know what I mean......

Kuang Yusheng was silent for a while, and then said with a smile: "Who owns the land a thousand and eight acres away?" ”

"Oh, some of them belong to the local families, some of them belong to the common people, and all of them belong to the Yamen."

Yusheng thought for a moment: "These lands, take them." In the spring, it is changed into a fish pond for people to fish and play, and then planted fruit trees and nurseries for people to go out and visit. ”

"Huh?"

"Those who go to the green will be charged ten cents each, and anglers will be charged twenty cents." Kuang Yusheng said with a smile.

"Yes...... But what about Donglin Temple? ”

"Donglin Temple is still the Donglin Temple, and you don't charge money to go to Donglin Temple, but if you want to enter this garden for fishing, you have to give money." Yusheng explained: "Whoever it is, you have to give money. Even those who say they want to go to Donglin Temple are no exception, who knows if they are here to steal fruits and fish? ”

"Yes...... In this way, I am afraid that I will lose money. ”

"I can't afford to lose." Kuang Yusheng put his hand behind his back: "Just do it, there will be regular guards from the Imperial City Division to come to supervise, if it is Yang Fengyin violation, then it is not under my control." ”

Hearing the three words of the Imperial City Division, the county guard's face was actually not so good-looking, he had heard of the name of Song Beiyun, the envoy of the Imperial City Division, even if it was a big place like Hangzhou, he didn't dare to bare his teeth in front of him, let alone such a county guard......

"The lower officials must do the same......"

After cooking Donglin Temple, Yusheng returned to his residence, took out a notebook and wrote notes under Donglin Temple.

At this moment, there was a sudden noise outside, and the guard knocked on the door and hurriedly said, "Lord Qincha, there are believers gathered outside to discuss the law. ”

Kuang Yusheng just raised his eyelids and glanced at it, put on his clothes and walked out slowly, and saw that there was a group of people gathered at the door of his residence, most of these people were pilgrims from Donglin Temple, and as soon as he issued the order on his front foot, demonstrators came on his back foot.

"Folks, Lord Qincha will definitely give justice to everyone, don't be impulsive."

The county guard outside was shouting hard, and Kuang Yusheng saw his demeanor, and his heart was like a mirror, but he didn't say it, just stepped forward and pressed his hand: "Donglin Temple, in disrepair, plus the income is unbearable. The imperial court was sympathetic and repaired the temple for it, but the great monk was not willing to accept this gift. So the official decided to open up the source and save money for the temple at the foot of the mountain, if you are a true believer, you will definitely not stick to the incense money of a few pennies, I am afraid that some demagogic people will use the topic to play, and so on next year, after the garden is repaired, Donglin Temple will definitely become more and more fragrant and full of Zen. ”

Of course, this statement is not satisfactory, and soon someone began to coax, if it was a different person, it would definitely start to arrest people, but Yusheng pointed at the person with a smile: "It seems that you are a true believer, this official ordered you to supervise the whole process, if you see someone favoritism or personal enrichment, you can report it to the local security department." From now on, you will be ordered by the imperial court, and you will receive a monthly allowance of three times. ”

After speaking, with a wave of his hand, he asked people to go up and record the real name of the person who made the coaxing, and also pressed the handprint......

The person who bowed his head suddenly became honest, but Kuang Yusheng just pointed to the heckler and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, you can also exercise this responsibility of supervision, and if he is playing favoritism and committing fraud, you can also recommend him." ”

Three times a month, this is not a small amount, and some people immediately disagreed, and before that person could do something, he began to scramble to start reporting to Kuang Yusheng about the various crimes of the coager, from stealing chickens and dogs to stealing incense and jade, from private courts to extortion.

Anyway, almost instantly, the bottoms of the guy who had just been "entrusted with the task" were ripped out.

"He Junshou, is there really such a thing?" Kuang Yusheng frowned, staring at the county guard: "Do you know? ”

"Xiaguan...... How can the lower officials know? ”

"Fart, he knows! This guy is He Zhonglin's cousin, and they are clearly a nest of snakes and rats! ”

From nowhere, Kuang Yusheng raised his eyebrows, stretched out his left hand, and the guards behind him immediately handed over Shang Fang's sword.

Seeing Shang Fang's sword in his hand, the county guard knelt down with a puff, he kowtowed like pounding garlic, and even said that he shouldn't.

Yusheng didn't talk nonsense, took out his sword, picked off his official hat, and immediately ordered someone to take him down.

"Ben Chin is here, if you people have grievances on weekdays, you can say it!"

All of a sudden, the topic of Donglin Temple was confused in this way, and instead they began to redress their grievances and complain about all kinds of grievances.

"A good move, two peaches, and three soldiers." A local gentleman saw Kuang Yusheng's methods and said to his friends: "This Qin cha seems to be not simple. ”

"I heard that he is Zhao Xiang's protégé."

"No wonder." The gentleman laughed, stretched out his hand and summoned the housekeeper: "Go, invite Lord Qincha to the banquet later, just say that I want to discuss with him in detail about the land outside the Donglin Temple, give me politeness and respect, do you hear?" ”

The butler nodded immediately and began to stretch out.

"Brother Yang, which one is this playing?"

"Lao Tzu has long looked at those monks who pretend to be high." The gentleman snorted coldly: "Relying on the people of the official government on his side, he never took us and others in his eyes, but now I want to see how long these monks can still jump!" Don't forget, Donglin Temple still occupies a hundred acres of my ancestral property, starting from my father, asking for 30 years without success, then today I will take more than 300 acres in order to ask for this breath, in order to comfort my father's soul in the sky! ”
