In less than an hour, dozens of people caught five crocodiles, looking at the crocodiles hanging on the shelf, Zheng Xuanli laughed and said: "My lord, your method of catching Jiao is really ingenious, much stronger than the villain carrying a knife into the water and fighting with these animals."

"You think everyone is as stupid as you, this thing can't be messed with by tigers in the water," Xiao Zheng scolded angrily.

Zheng Xuanli pursed his lips disapprovingly, pointed to the crocodile hanging in the air and said: "This thing just needs to expose its belly, you look at the black lump on the white belly of this beast, this is the location of its heart, and this thing will be honest with a knife."

"Then let it bleed, but don't hurt the skin, and go back and have meat to eat at noon."

Zheng Xuanli borrowed a spear to play a spear, and a thrust pierced the crocodile's stomach, and the action of the cadre attracted a burst of applause from the veterans.

"Okay, let's stop here today, Zheng Xuanli, you can talk to the people on the island in the future, so that people can observe the habits of these things, and learn how to raise these Jiao in the future."

"Huh?! My lord, this thing is harmful to people like this, and I will raise it in the future, I can't go crazy! Zheng Xuanli said.

"Where the fuck did you get so much bullshit, you do what I say, once the value of this thing is discovered, you think you can kill it for a few days? If you don't get it right, Lao Tzu will become a negative example of an animal protection organization," Zheng replied angrily.

"No! But my lord, what did you just say about animal protection.....

"I don't know!"

Before carrying the crocodile into the city, it attracted many people on the road to watch, and after entering the city, there were more and more people watching the crocodile, so that Xiao Zheng followed a group of onlookers in front of him, and the sound of praise provoked Zheng Xuanli and these soldiers to pull their chests high.

As soon as he entered the gate of the mansion and threw the crocodile on the ground to prepare the place, suddenly a fast horse ran into the gate of the mansion.

Who is so bold? Although Lord Xiao said that anyone in Yangzhou could enter, no one dared to enter the mansion.

Looking up, the people on the horse were covered in dust, and it looked like they had come from a long journey.

When this man saw Xiao Zheng, he shouted at him: "One hundred thousand! Ask Xiao Gongmo to demolish my Taoist temple again! ”。

As soon as he finished speaking, the man slipped off his horse and fainted on the ground.

Who is this? Hearing the sound of a little familiar, Xiao Zheng hurriedly asked people to carry the fainted person to the couch, and wiped the guy's face with warm water.

When he looked at his face, he saw it clearly, and it turned out to be Wang Yuanzhi, the national teacher of the Tang Dynasty.

Xiao Zheng touched Wang Yuanzhi's pulse, this guy was indeed tired and dizzy, so Xiao Zheng asked him to wash it with warm water and put it on the couch to rest.

When Wang Yuanzhi woke up, he saw Xiao Zheng looking at him with a bowl of broth and smiling.

"Don't worry, I won't demolish your temple, see that you have run so far, I will give you a bowl of good things to simmer while you are sleeping, one to make up for your long-distance car and horse fatigue, and the other is to give you a fire and dare to eat."

Wang Yuanzhi took the bowl and tasted the soup first, although there was some medicinal taste in the soup, it was extremely delicious in the mouth, and he poured the soup down in a few bites, and then pulled the meat chop into his stomach.

looked at the jar next to him and scooped two more bowls, wiped his mouth after eating, and said, "Lao Tzu bought you three bowls of soup for 100,000 yuan." For your sake, Lao Dao will tell you another news, on the way I came, I met the Yan brothers with a group of people who were rushing to Yangzhou, and I asked if it was to prepare for your road construction and water conservancy."

"Don't be ignorant, there are not many people who can eat the food cooked by Lao Tzu, and I can afford you to cook it for you alone."

Wang Yuanzhi suddenly grabbed Xiao Zheng's neck and said: "You, why can you dismantle so many Taoist temples in one go, what point is Lao Tzu sorry for you?" ”。

"You let go of your hand first, you see what kind of birdmen are summoned by the Taoists, all of them are robbers except for the ruffians, and after this continues, you are not even as good as Wagangzhai, I will help you remove the toxins now, you are still dissatisfied with Lao Tzu, let go of your hand, you take a look at the things on the table first."

After Xiao Zheng finished speaking, he pointed to the stack of confessions on the table, and when Wang Yuanzhi finished reading it, he broke out in a cold sweat, and he was silent for a long time and didn't dare to speak.

"Now I understand, this is why Lao Tzu demolished your Taoist temple, if you are like you, you can cheat and cheat people for money, even dare to use living people to sacrifice, how do you think, if your Taoist does this kind of thing in the future, I will dismantle all the Taoist temples in Jiangnan."

Wang Yuanzhi didn't refute this time, and asked with a long sigh: "Xiao Gong, my Taoism has developed too fast in recent years, this radish is fast and doesn't wash the mud, it is inevitable that there will be a few good and bad scum here, but this grain of rat feces spoils a pot of porridge, how is this good?" ”。

"It's very simple, take a good look at my book on scientific research, you Taoists must also learn to choose people, otherwise there are too many insects and the foundation will collapse in the depths."

After listening to this, Wang Yuanzhi pondered for a while and arched his hand to Xiao Zheng and said: "I have been taught, and the 100,000 yuan of the poor road will definitely be delivered when the time comes, and it can be regarded as the atonement money that the small road gave to the people of Yang." However, Xiao Gong, can you build another Taoist temple in Yangzhou City to promote my Taoist virtue?"

"Look at your vision, I'll tell you a place, there is an island in the lake ten miles away from the east of the city, called Jun Mountain, there is a place on the mountain, there is a mountain peak from the lake, and the statue of Taishang Laojun meditating is very similar, after this mountain, I will change its name to Laojun Mountain, that place is a mountain spirit and water show, there is more attractive to build a Taoist temple than to build in the city, you can rest assured, I will not lie to you about the mountain shape."

When Wang Yuanzhi heard Xiao Zheng say this, his eyes immediately lit up and said: "Although your character is not very good, but you haven't told a lie, Lao Dao will believe you, and I will take Lao Dao to see it when I have time."

"But let's say it first, if you build a Taoist temple in the city, I don't need money, so you have to buy a good place to build it casually. But there used to be water bandits in that place, and it took me a long time to quell those robbers, and I will charge you some hard money, and seeing that you have just made 100,000 yuan, I will charge you another 50,000 yuan."

"When will the poor road build a dojo and pay you money? Which of the laws of the Tang Dynasty stipulates? Wang Yuanzhi asked curiously.

"Dao Chief, what do you mean to pay me money, this is the money paid to the government to buy land! This stipulation is as follows: In the future, if Taoists and Buddhists build a dojo in the mountains and rivers south of the Yangtze River, they must pay the government money to buy the land, and the government will approve the construction before construction, otherwise it will be an illegal construction, and the government has the right to demolish it and investigate the offender."

"You are young and old, don't look at the old way just woke up, I haven't read the law of the Tang Dynasty, who has this regulation" Wang Yuanzhi said with some anxious eyes.

"Just now, I suddenly remembered, I am the governor of Sannan Province, this decree will be implemented from now on, I am far away from Chang'an, with my status this decree will definitely be passed in the three provinces, but the situation is urgent, and it will be implemented first. Another good thing, after a while, I am going to repair a road from Yangzhou to Hangzhou, and I will inevitably ask you Taoist to help, and I will not charge you money for this. Don't worry, you and I have such a good relationship, I won't cheat you. Think about it first, don't worry, I'm going to do something else."

After speaking, Xiao Zheng got up and walked out.

As soon as he left the room, he heard Wang Yuanzhi roaring angrily in the house: "You goddamn bastard Xiao Zheng, how could that old bald donkey in Changjie save you from this demon at that time!" Why didn't the Sanqing Daozun take you away, and let you make us like this."

There was a "bang", and the sound of the jar and bowl falling to the ground came out.
