Since Zhong Changtong arrived in Luoyang, Luoyang has not been able to calm down, Zhong Changtong will be inside and outside Luoyang Taoist temples and temples and the like are all demolished, which naturally caused the dissatisfaction of many officials, among these officials, there are naturally some unlearned metaphysical masters, they can pinch and calculate, naturally calculate that Zhong Changtong is a traitor of the Han Dynasty, so acting, will definitely cause the wrath of God.

At this moment, sitting in the mansion, many officials under the command of Zhong Changtong sat on both sides, with solemn expressions, Zhong Changtong looked at the documents in front of him, couldn't help laughing, nodded, and said: "All the kings have worked hard, in just three days, the liars inside and outside the division have been completely captured by us, those who should be killed are killed, those who should be demolished are demolished, and Luoyang can be regarded as a real Qingping..."

These days, the official mansion has filled the vacancy of the sacrificial house, however, this time the distribution to Zhong Changtong are some soldiers from military studies, Zhong Changtong is very happy, for three days, the people of the sacrificial mansion are everywhere, all the monks in Luoyang have been captured, and the temple altars and the like have been ruthlessly destroyed by him, and the notoriety of Zhong Changtong has spread in Luoyang within three days, even more so than before.

Some say that he is an earthly demon, so he is not afraid of the gods.

It is also said that he is the god of the world, so he is not afraid of the other gods.

In any case, Zhong Chang frightened everyone, the great Confucian Zheng Xuan set a bad precedent for the Han Dynasty, the real origin of metaphysics should be in this person and Wang Fen, the great Confucian Zheng Xuan can pinch and calculate, know the destiny of heaven, which is famous in the Han Dynasty, it is said that he once calculated that his house would have a fire, and fled in advance, sure enough, a major disaster followed.

He also heard that he had met the priestess on the road, and she did not squint, so that the priestess praised him and told him that there would be a fire in his house.

In addition to Zheng Xuan, another one who promotes these is He Xiu, He Xiu in the enlightenment chapter for the people of the world, wantonly described the extraordinary Emperor Xiaokang, what golden dragon, what hope and the like, but also let metaphysics gradually rise in the world, and the number of scholars who govern Yi gradually increased, they observe the celestial phenomena day and night, and are good at the art of qi, they can see the extraordinary of ordinary people at a glance, and it is said that they can also know the future.

Just when the world is falling into this kind of metaphysical trend, Zhong Changtong is a maverick, what kind of hopeful monk, what kind of temple that blesses everyone, as long as he touches it, it will definitely not end well, Zhong Changtong after destroying those areas, Xu Shu quickly found out their crimes, and the incense money they collected in the past became evidence of fraud in Xu Shu's pen, and even the people they used to kill with Fu Shui also became evidence of their crimes.

Therefore, they are all yin rituals, scourge the lives of the people, defraud the people's money, the people are sick and don't even let them go to seek medical treatment, they have to let them come to drink what kind of water, Xu Shu followed Jia Xu in the past, or learned a lot of things, after catching those monks and monks, through various means, they forced them to sign the crime, and then sent it to the criminal government.

The servant of the criminal palace shot full of pets, after seeing these crimes, his heart was furious, and he immediately rushed to the sacrificial mansion with people, many people heard that when the full pet took people to the sacrificial mansion, their hearts were happy, great, our fair and strict Manjun is finally going to punish Zhong Changtong? Zhong Changtong's gang arrested people indiscriminately and killed Fang Shi indiscriminately, he should have been arrested a long time ago!

After Man Zhong rushed to the sacrificial mansion, it was Zhong Changtong who went out to greet him with a smile.

"Man-kun!! I haven't seen you for a long time, but you're okay?? Zhong Changtong walked up with a smile, he was always cold and full of favor, but he also squeezed out a smile, but it looked even more scary, he nodded, and said seriously: "It's okay." Zhong Changtong then walked into the sacrificial mansion with Man Pet, Man Pet frowned, gritted his teeth and said: "Thank you Zhong Changjun this time, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have known that there are so many villains in Luoyang!" ”

"Murder for money, bewitch the public, behead, kill!!" , Man Pet said angrily, Zhong Changtong couldn't help but glance at Xu Shu in the distance, how much oil and vinegar did you add to the document to make Man Pet so angry? Xu Shu lowered his head and didn't speak, Zhong Changtong took Man Zhong to the backyard where the criminals were held, Zhong Changtong said calmly: "I arrested thirty-nine villains, and more than fifty people openly drew their swords to resist, and I killed them on the spot." ”

The people of the sacrificial mansion stood behind Zhong Changtong, and when they heard this, they all immediately lowered their heads, where is the resistance, it is clear that they were directly disposed of by you, and those who were caught were led by them, they did not dare to execute them at will like Zhong Changtong, so they brought it back and openly executed more than 50 people, and this punishment servant will not directly turn his face... They secretly raised their heads and observed the full favor in front of them.

When Man Zhong heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "Is there a witness?" Prove that they resist? ”

"Of course, all the pawns involved in the arrest can prove it."

"Well, it's good, come on, take these villains and bring them back to the Punishment Mansion!" , Man Pet pointed to the imprisoned monks in the distance, and in an instant, the guards rushed over, Zhong Changtong looked at them calmly, and did not speak, seeing that Man Pet was going to leave with them, Zhong Changtong hurriedly stopped Man Pet, and said seriously: "Man Jun, there is one more thing that needs to be discussed with you." ”

"What?"

"Your Majesty, can you explain a thing or two for me?"

"It's natural, you don't need to say more!" , Man Pet said coldly, and left with these people.

Seeing Man Pet leave, Zhong Changtong smiled, looked at Xu Shu on the side, and asked, "Those liars, shouldn't they bluff Man Jun too?" ”

"Absolutely not, the reason why I didn't stop you from disposing of those monks before was because I knew that the servants of the criminal palace would call you to be full of favors, and if you called anyone, I would stop you from doing these things, but Manjun, he is a person I admire more, he has no condescension in his eyes, no relatives and relatives, not even good and evil, he only has Han Law in his eyes, he is a very just person..."

Zhong Changtong nodded and looked at the many officials behind him, "Okay, this matter will be handed over to the Manjun to deal with, everyone, you have been fortunate in the past few days, so I will rest for a day today!" ”

"Thank you for shooting!" , Everyone worshipped one after another, but they were convinced by Zhong Changtong in their hearts, they could dispose of so many people in Luoyang without authorization, and they could get out of the hands of Man Pet, and he who had not been punished, it seemed that he was the only one who was Zhong Changtong, and everyone left one by one, Zhong Changtong closed the door and pulled Xu Shu back to the study.

"Yuan Zhi, these days, I'm very happy, I have caught so many liars, and I have dealt with a lot, there is a full monarch in charge, and the Houde Hall will probably not embarrass us, Your Majesty is most disgusted with Fang Shi's behavior of recklessness, but this seems to have nothing to do with our big plan before entering Luoyang... Scammers will always be dealt with by us. ”

Xu Shu squinted his eyes and shook his head, "Axiom, this has a lot to do with it, I support you to arrest those Fangshi, the purpose is not all to deal with them, our target is those people behind them." ”

"Oh?"

"Our enemy is Zheng Xuan, but He Xiu... Those who talk about the mandate of heaven and restrain their minds are our enemies, our purpose is to untie the shackles of the merchants, change the policy of valuing agriculture and suppressing business, the system of equalizing land will not work, the cultivated land cannot accommodate so many hukou, no matter how the temple distributes it, there will always be a day when the land is divided, and what should be done is not to find a way to let the cultivated land accommodate more hukou, but to make the industry and commerce bigger..."

"Only when industry and commerce become bigger, can we replace agriculture and collect the household registration, so that the three heads go hand in hand, and the three places can not lead to the people having nowhere to live, which is the solution to the merger... The Son of Heaven's approach is a bit too idealistic..."

Zhong Changtong looked at Xu Shu, these words, the two of them had already discussed, and they also had a common opinion, "We have talked about these for a long time, I mainly don't understand, what is the relationship between dealing with liars and defeating those corrupt Confucians?" ”

"If you want to innovate, you have to change the trend of society, if everyone is completely addicted to the gods, can't even raise their heads, don't even dare to have innovative ideas, how can this make industry and commerce bigger? They will not allow it, so what we have to do is to defeat the gods, make the people of the world believe in their own power, and untie the restrictions imposed on them by those corrupt doctrines..."

"You have defeated a lot of gods now, don't worry, those so-called metaphysics have already begun to take action, and after a while, we can officially fight back... Knock these guys down..", Xu Shu said calmly.

"Let no one in the world believe in ghosts and gods. . . I don't believe in the Mandate of Heaven...", Zhong Changtong muttered to himself, then smiled self-deprecatingly, and said: "Compared to this matter, I think it is easier to implement the Chamber of Commerce and Industry..."

"That's nature."

Xu Shu nodded, and then said with a smile: "You can even convince people like me, what, can't you convince the rest of the people?" Zhong Changtong shook his head and said with a smile: "This is not true, if our plan is only to promote industry and commerce, the Son of Heaven will not oppose us, but if we oppose the Mandate of Heaven, I am only afraid..." will anger Your Majesty. ”

"Therefore, we have to clamor for the promotion of industry and commerce, and secretly do things against the mandate of heaven, fortunately, you hate ghosts and gods, the world knows, no matter how out of line you do, no one will care, however, you have to keep in mind that you can tell others that you don't believe in ghosts and gods, don't believe in the mandate of heaven, and things are man-made, but you must not say that you want people in the world not to believe in ghosts and gods, and not to believe in the mandate of heaven... Otherwise, we won't see the sun tomorrow..."

"I understand, you can rest assured... However, this time we came to Luoyang, is it the meaning of the Son of Heaven, or the meaning of Shang Shuling? ”

"It should be the Son of Heaven... I'm a little confused, but it's a good opportunity, so don't think about it and take advantage of it. ”
