Whether you are a monk or a Taoist priest, if you can be a person who helps others, you can reap happiness, so can you make others and yourself happy by studying Buddhism and practicing Taoism?

Xuanzang and Li Chunfeng only reflected for less than a quarter of an hour before they put this question behind them.

In Xuanzang's heart, he believes in the Buddhist theory of the afterlife, he thinks that the living are only temporary, but the crossing is eternal, but Sun Xiangfu can shake his faith in a few words, and the smart person drills the tip of the horns, which is the most difficult to pull back.

In Li Chunfeng's heart, quiet, inaction, self-cultivation, is still the focus, but as the successor of the teaching, he has more responsibility than other Taoist priests to carry forward Taoism, in his opinion, there is nothing wrong with having more Taoist priests in the world, after all, the Taoist priests in this period know more things than ordinary people, health preservation, medical skills, astronomy and geography, these are all knowledge that ordinary people cannot touch.

A monk who knows martial arts, reads and understands scriptures, and even Sanskrit scriptures. A Taoist priest who can write, maintain health, medical skills, and understand astronomy and geography is better than the illiterate people?

People who open the door of wisdom always play with ignorant people, survival ability determines the superiority of social status, it is very difficult for Sun Xiangfu to reverse this situation, he can only forge ahead towards one goal, rich peasants.

When the peasants are rich, they will have the conditions to learn knowledge, and those so-called religious ideas, or cult ideas, will not be so easy to harm them. With the current territory and population of Datang, it is completely possible to achieve the point where everyone is a rich man, because the resources that can be distributed to everyone now are many times stronger than any developed country in the future.

However, this is just Sun Xiangfu's personal fantasy, no matter how good the situation is, it can't withstand the scourge of faint kings and traitorous ministers, once the disadvantages of man-ruled society break out, no matter how powerful the country is, it will become a thing of yesterday.

On the dock, Sun Xiangfu gave Xi Jun the half of the basket of lychees that he hadn't eaten, "Jun buy, I asked you to lead the team to buy medicine, because you used to be a ranger on the streets of Chang'an, you have enough experience in the rivers and lakes, and you know how to be flexible than Zhao Long, you have to restrain the team along the way, if you encounter an emergency, I allow you to use extraordinary means." ”

There are more than ten assembled bed crossbows on the Xiangfu, as well as more than 100 crossbows made of fine iron, once the killing and wounding break out, even the army can't resist, Sun Xiangfu is not worried about their lives, he still has a headache of those conspiracies.

Since the family sent someone to Lingnan to pick up things, how could they not pay attention to the situation here, and it was impossible for them not to know the news when such an eye-catching ship as the Happiness returned to Jiangnan, and they were afraid that they would not use the knife, but they were secretly sabotaging.

"Can I kill someone?" Xi Junmai licked his tongue and said.

"Yes, even if you kill Wang Lin this time, there will be Yue Guogong to carry it for you, if he shows up, don't leave me alive."

Even if Sun Xiangfu was muddy, he was repeatedly bullied by the family, and he was holding back a fire in his heart, he didn't send it out before, it was not a suitable opportunity, but now it is different.

Lingnan smoke miasma, is not the sphere of influence of those families, they deliberately spread rumors to instigate the imperial court to be suspicious of Feng An, and want to design things to force Feng Ang to rebel, they have already offended Feng Ang and Li Shimin, if they do anything in Lingnan to solve the big trouble, not to mention just the son of the family, even if the head of the family comes, Feng Ang and Li Shimin dare to kill them, because if Feng Ang really rebels, it will shake the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin has no choice.

"Then you can rest assured! Even if it's a robbery, I'll grab a boatload of medicinal herbs for you. ”

After that, most of the shipwrights and sailors and the escort team boarded the ship, and after everyone waved goodbye to them, Xuanzang and Li Chunfeng went to the patient concentration camp again, continued to observe the patients who had tried the medicine, and continued to treat them with medicine, while Sun Xiangfu led Zhao Long and a few guards who stayed to protect him and Feng Ang returned to the Feng Mansion together.

"The people who Zhidai captured are locked up in the dungeon."

In the past few days, Feng Zhidai has been leading troops outside, responsible for settling the things provoked by those families, among them, some of the surrendered Fangren tribes kidnapped the Han people who contacted them and handed them over to him, and now they are escorted back.

"What do you mean, let me go to the trial?" Sun Xiangfu was stunned when he heard this.

"You are the emperor's person, and the confession you interrogated, the emperor will find it the most credible, and the old man can just watch from the sidelines." Feng Anruo smiled meaningfully.

"In this way, I will accompany Feng Gong to the dungeon." When Sun Xiangfu heard this, he understood what Feng Ang meant.

Explaining the rumors about his rebellion, he really had to avoid suspicion, but he had to know as soon as possible, who was plotting against him, and if these people dared to take the fate of his Feng clan to make trouble, how could he give up easily.

After a while, a few people came to the dungeon of Feng Mansion, which was obviously not often locked up, except that the walls were stronger, and there were no torture instruments or anything like that, so the three doglegs who were imprisoned here did not have much fear.

"Bring up the prisoners."

Feng Ang said a word to the soldiers who managed the dungeon, then sat down in front of the desk at the door, and ate lychees, while Sun Xiangfu spread out a roll of paper and added water to the inkstone to grind it, ready to write.

After a while, three middle-aged men who were neatly dressed were tied to three wooden shelves less than a foot away from them.

"Come one by one, starting from the left. Name. Sun Xiangfu dipped his brush and looked at a chubby man on the wooden frame on the left.

The man didn't answer Sun Xiangfu's question, but yelled at him, "We are just merchants who went to the Fangren tribe to sell goods, and we didn't break the law, but we were robbed of the goods by those Fangren, and we were tied up by them······

"Zhao Long, knock out a few of his teeth." Without waiting for the man to finish yelling, Sun Xiangfu said.

"Yes, sir."

Zhao Long replied sharply, took out a cloth belt from his arms, and wrapped it in many layers on his right hand before saying in a cold voice, "I am afraid that I will have dirty hands, and in addition, I am afraid that I will have too much strength and knock off your entire chin." ”

"You, you, you, wow······"

Before the man could come out, Zhao Long's iron fist swung towards his side face, and after a miserable scream, the man felt that his mouth was empty, and there was a smell of blood.

It was really Zhao Long's fist that was so explosive that his whole head was covered, and he didn't know that several of his back molars had flown out under the punch just now.

"Remember, you answer whatever I ask, digression, or incomplete, and at the least I knock out a few teeth. Now tell me, name. ”

Sun Xiangfu has never done torture work, but he can't stand watching too many similar TV series in later generations, so he just learns from TV dramas.

"Hu, Huran." After slowing down, Hu Ran only felt a sense of pain welling up, tears and snot flowed out instantly, and he stammered inarticulately.

Sun Xiangfu wrote quickly, and then he didn't look at the miserable appearance of Hu Ran, and his tone was not half emotional. "What's your favorite thing?"

"Uh, drinking, eating meat, playing with women." Hu Ran was a little confused by this question, and replied subconsciously.

"Who is your master?" Sun Xiangfu continued to maintain his tone.

"Wang ······"

Hu Ran almost answered casually, but he stopped at the critical moment, since they were specially sent by the family to do this kind of unsightly deed, they naturally have some experience in the rivers and lakes.

Sun Xiangfu deliberately asked a simple and instinctive question first, and when Hu Ran answered casually, he suddenly changed the focus of the question, and almost set out Hu Ran's confession, which is a common paralyzing cliché used in interrogation in later generations, but he didn't expect it to be only half successful.

"Put him down and take him down to the innermost cell and keep him in solitary confinement."

Sun Xiangfu gave the order, but Feng Ang on the side was a little stunned, this is the end of the trial? Seemingly, I asked for a name!

However, after saying that he would let Sun Xiangfu judge, he was not easy to interject, so he continued to eat and watch the play on the side.

After a while, Zhao Long slipped Hu Ranti to the innermost cell, and after closing it, he returned to the interrogation place again, and saw that Sun Xiangfu was still the second prisoner in that tone, "Name? ”

"Zhang Han."

"Where?"

"Bianzhou."

"Well, tell me what exactly you've done in the whole case! If we can tell us something we don't know, we might be able to save you from dying. Sun Xiangfu still said indifferently.

"I'm just a merchant who went to the Fangren tribe to sell cloth, and I haven't done anything illegal, as a court official, why do you care about people's lives?" When the man heard this, he no longer followed Sun Xiangfu's question and answered, but asked rhetorically.

"Well, who told you I was an official? It seems that you are familiar with me, Zhao Long, and put him in solitary confinement in the middle cell. ”

Sun Xiangfu still only asked two simple questions, and asked Zhao Long to escort people down, which made Feng Ang even more confused.

After Zhao Long left, Sun Xiangfu changed his face to the last remaining prisoner, "Now you can say, as long as the news you say is useful, not only do you not have to die, but you can also get a lot of money and land, and you will also live under the protection of the Duke of Yue, as long as you are in Lingnan, no one can touch you." However, Yue Guogong has long known about your scheme, and you must make sure that the information you tell is useful. ”

The last one named Liao Sheng was puzzled and entangled, he didn't doubt what Sun Xiangfu said, he was arrested here, so what he did before must have been discovered, but he is an elite cultivated by the family, and his loyalty to the master has reached a certain height, even if he is discovered, he doesn't want to sell the master, although he is also afraid of beating, but he gritted his teeth and didn't say a word.

"There are not many opportunities, once others say it, then, the credit for abandoning the darkness and turning to the light will belong to others, and your fate is probably only a dead end." Sun Xiangfu persuaded him, but Liao Sheng still kept his mouth shut, and then Sun Xiangfu said to Zhao Long, who had already turned around.

"Put him in the nearest cell by the door!"

After Zhao Long carried the person down, Feng Ang finally couldn't hold it back, got up and said, "You are interrogating like this, what can you judge?" ”

Sun Xiangfu gave him a smile on his hand and said, "Don't worry, Yue Gong, the play is still to come!" Please also have some meat and wine blessed. ”
