"Stop? You treat all the people like a screed for your own benefit, and now you want me to stop? If I'm not mistaken, if you had grabbed the new grain seeds, your next step would have been to burn down the experimental fields and monopolize the new grain, right? ”

Cai Cong said angrily, Wang Zhiyuan closed his eyes and didn't speak, Cai Cong was right, if they were allowed to get new grain, they would burn the experimental field, and then wait for a big natural disaster to appear as a savior, at that moment the court didn't say anything about cleaning them up, and they didn't dare to talk to them loudly.

"Do you want me to stop now? You can also. All the people who have been misdoing all these years will be handed over, all the land of the Taoist temple will be taxed, and all the Taoist priests and crowns will have to serve as a laborer. As long as you do these two things, I will give you as many dishes as you want. ”

Cai Cong said greedily, Wang Zhiyuan shook his head sadly, this is impossible, if he really does this, it is equivalent to forcing all Taoist priests to a dead end.

"Can't do it, Master Hou knows that this condition can't be done, let's talk about the conditions that an old Taoist can do!" Wang Zhiyuan said lifelessly, his mood at the moment was the same as the weather outside, gloomy and gloomy, and the haze made him desperate.

"If you can't do it, it's your business, if you don't agree, Ben Hou will start killing from here, all the Taoist temples from here to Chang'an...... Chickens and dogs don't stay! Moreover, the Benhou will preach it because you shield those hypocritical and righteous Taoist priests, and these Taoist temples have suffered crimes. ”

Cai Cong said with a murderous face, Wang Zhiyuan stared at Cai Cong with an ugly face, his hands and feet trembled involuntarily, he knew very well that Cai Cong could do what he said.

If Cai Cong is really allowed to do this, then the Taoist family will immediately be torn apart, and no one will be attached to a force that will use himself as a substitute for the dead ghost at any time.

"We can hand over people, but it is difficult to obey the fate of paying taxes and servitude, Taoism is not a hall of words, if we make a decision that harms the interests of various Taoist temples, they will not obey it."

Wang Zhiyuan said in great pain, he only hated himself for not dying early, so he didn't have to bear this boundless pain.

Cai Cong pondered for a long time before saying, "Okay! Hand over the people within three days, don't think about stealing the dragon and turning the phoenix, otherwise your ancestral court will not exist. In addition, prepare 1,000 taels of gold for each Taoist temple from here to Chang'an, and I will take it away when I pass by, if they are not ready when I arrive, then there is no need for them to exist! ”

Wang Zhiyuan suddenly pointed at Cai Cong with shortness of breath, he had never seen such a brazen person, people want to grab money and take it, there are no less than 100 Taoist temples in Chang'an, this is to take away the 100,000 taels of gold they prepared!

"Don't look like you're going to die with me, old man, be content! At least the kid didn't have a Tu Taoist temple, did he? Cai Congfeng said lightly, and poured a glass of sweet water for the old Taoist priest by the way, looking like an old friendship between the two of us.

"Hundreds of thousands are too much, can you give a discount?" Wang Zhiyuan said, took out a fold from his sleeve, handed it to Cai Cong, and said, "This is their list, if you want Lao Dao to send people, Lao Dao can't do it, you can only send someone to arrest it yourself." But if you hand over someone and give 100,000 taels of gold, you will bully people, after all, my Taoist closed the mountain gate, and there is no mistake again and again. ”

"Then 100,000, give you a whole number and can't be less. Big cow in! ”

Cai Cong looked down at the excerpt and said casually, and then shouted outside.

Da Niu immediately ran in and respectfully waited for Cai Cong's instructions.

Immediately he ordered the clerk to copy 100 copies of the excerpts, and then the flying pigeon sent a message to them to put all those on the list to death. Jingyun Guan is a master of the Tao, don't be lazy, please stay in the army for a few days, and give you a lecture on the Dharma. In addition, send someone to go to the Taoist temple with Old Man Wang to get gold, 100,000 taels! One or two less Hou Wei you ask! ”

As soon as Cai Cong's words fell, Wang Zhiyuan looked defeated, he originally planned to go back and immediately fly pigeons to pass the book to let the people on the roster take refuge in the mountains, but he didn't expect Cai Cong to detain them in the army. Unexpectedly, Cai Cong actually knew that the gold was in Jingyunguan, which made him take the opportunity to pass on the news.

"Why does Master Hou think that gold is in the view?" Wang Zhiyuan asked unwillingly, maybe Cai Cong was deceiving him, he couldn't mess with himself.

"Why not in Guanzhong? The population in Guanzhong is not large, but this month more than 5,000 catties of grain were transported up the mountain, so you are so sure that I will not kill you? Moreover, among the believers who went up the mountain to burn incense during this time, there were actually people whose footprints were much shallower than those who went up the mountain, so they must have brought a lot of gold with them, right? ”

After Cai Cong finished speaking, Wang Zhiyuan pointed at Cai Cong tremblingly and said, "You have been spying on us? ”

"Where does the old man say, how can this be called surveillance? Ben Hou is worried that there will be bandits in the deep mountains and old forests to loot Jingyun Temple, so he sent someone to protect you, which is out of concern. ”

Cai Cong said with a sneer, Wang Zhiyuan trembled with anger, he originally felt that Cai Cong was holding down his head with the momentum of a big victory, but he didn't expect that his hole cards were all in his eyes, and the purpose of going around with himself for a long time just now was just to want the roster in his hand.

"That's it, that's it, the Tang Dynasty is a new situation that has never been seen in the world, when the first emperor burned books and pit Confucianism, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty respected Confucianism alone, and today the Tang Dynasty is so strong that it is difficult to emulate the Qin and Han dynasties? Lao Dao only asks Hou Ye to show mercy to his subordinates in the future, so that my Taoist family will continue to burn incense, and Lao Dao is grateful here. ”

Wang Zhiyuan said very calmly, stood up and bowed to Cai Cong, Cai Cong avoided him sideways, and said seriously: "Old man, why should you be like this, no matter Buddhism and Taoism, it is a sect that has been inherited for thousands of years, and there is naturally a reason for existence, whether it is a kid or the imperial court, we have never thought of killing everything, what we want is just a clean sect, you have lived for so many years, don't you think that today's sect is too dirty?" ”

Wang Zhiyuan kept silent, he really wanted to tell Cai Cong that Taoism has always been high, otherwise how could there be a family of Taoist priests who inherit from father to son? But he didn't dare to speak, what princes and generals relied on merit in exchange for status, and what did the children of the sect pay?

"So the old man doesn't have to be determined to die, there are not many people in the Daomen who have contact with me, but I know a lot. There are not many people who can make me call a real person, one Li Yi and one you, as for Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng, the two of them are not pure in mind and cannot be called a real person, if you seek death, the Daomen will not be as good as the Buddha in the future. ”

Cai Cong said sincerely, whether it is hypocritical or not, he must not let this old Taoist go back and seek death, otherwise the news will be transmitted back to Chang'an, and his old lady who worships God when he sees him doesn't know what kind of moth to make.

"You say...... My Taoist can't fight Buddhism? Wang Zhiyuan, who was originally determined to die, asked solemnly, in his opinion, the Taoist had won a lot, at least the Taoist had not been slaughtered.

"If it weren't for the kid taking the opportunity to kill a Ming, the Buddhist family would have produced two monks in ten years, what do you have in ten years?"

Cai Cong's words made Wang Zhiyuan feel cold, and he took the opportunity to kill one, and he didn't let himself die, so that Buddhism and Taoism were evenly matched, and it was the imperial court that consumed each other and profited in the end, of course, the poisonous Yang Mou!
