Chapter 55: Catching Monks

"Your Highness, the nun of the Yulan Pure House was beaten to death!"

Li Kuan was quite strange: "Kill people and kill people? ”

"It's not! It was the relatives of several girls, and when they saw their own girls, they were angry and moved their hands. The beating woman said that she had been a good friend of her and went to her house often. On the New Year's Day, after her girl went missing, the nun also went to comfort her. In the name of praying in front of the Buddha, the girl begged for money for several times of sesame oil. Who knew that the girl was actually abducted by her......"

Li Kuan sneered: "In this case, let's kill her, it's cheaper for her." Go, transfer more people into the city, and surround all the temples in Chang'an City. Search them one by one to see how pure these so-called Buddhist places are! ”

Since it's the beginning, let's just play bigger. Otherwise, how can you match the identity of the dignified King of Chu! The long line that was buried in the past few months is just used to detonate today. It's a well-known fact that this king doesn't like the bald donkey of Buddhism, if he doesn't take the opportunity to do something, won't he have a bad reputation?!

In Chang'an City, tonight is really lively to the extreme. Originally, everyone was happy to enjoy the lanterns, but no one expected that such a thing would happen. Originally, people in this year were a little in awe of the gods, Buddhas and monks. But after Li Kuan's trouble, that sense of sacredness collapsed in an instant.

Two squares and two temples have found the sale of young children, which suddenly burned the anger of the people of Chang'an. No one looked at the lanterns, and everyone spontaneously went to help besiege the temples and prevent the bald donkeys from running away.

Of course, there were a few lay people in the crowd who worshiped the Buddha, but no one dared to come forward to plead and speak. After all, human trafficking has always been the most hated act. To say that those two temples are black sheep, and the others are good monks? Who can guarantee that other monks have not done anything bad?!

Now there is also a disturbance about nuns coming to the door to pretend to be friendly, then abducting the child, and then going back to extort sesame oil money, which is even more terrifying. Between people, where is the most basic integrity?! Why are these bald asses so bold? How dare they!

How can such a big movement not attract attention. All the dignitaries sent out their men to the streets to listen to the news and help maintain order. Fortunately, most of the attention of the masses was attracted by the two squares of Qinglong and Xiuzheng, which were the first to break out into scandal, otherwise there might really be a group incident.

Li Shimin, who was having a holiday banquet with his ministers in the palace, was also extremely worried by this series of news. At first, he was shocked by the audacity of the people in Buddhism, and then he was worried that there were so many tourists at night, and one of them was not handled properly and caused a civil uprising, and then he was half killed by his son's direct seizure of the temples in the city.

This is to overturn a boatload of people with one shot! The power of Buddhism is also quite strong. Why doesn't this bastard have any scruples at all?

However, with this reason, his son took the lead, but Li Shimin, who had a keen sense far beyond ordinary people, seized the opportunity and quickly mobilized several troops and horses outside the city to enter the city to maintain order. I can also take this opportunity to knock those monks well.

In the main hall, of course, Buddhists are indispensable. Originally, I still had some opinions about King Chu's dislike of people in Buddhism, but when the killing god wanted to search the whole city today, no one dared to jump out and bubble. I even have to go back and worry about whether I used to associate with those Buddhists too much, and whether it would cause trouble?

Someone wanted to open his mouth to persuade the emperor to search the whole city so much, but when he saw that there were several times more guards inside and outside the palace gate, he shrank his head in fright. At this moment, don't talk too much.

In these years, although there are laws, after all, it is the era of human rule, and when the emperor follows the law, when he is angry, he doesn't care who you are, you will kill if you say kill, and it is a big deal to give your family a little comfort afterwards. Who can sneak into the Taiji Palace in the officialdom of the early Tang Dynasty and listen to politics, which one is not a human spirit, and who would joke with his net worth for a group of bald heads?

Li Kuan didn't expect that the quality of the people in Chang'an would be so high. made such a big commotion, and no one took advantage of it to make trouble. On the contrary, one by one pays more attention to the image, and even because of the previous incident of killing the nun in anger, in the subsequent action, the people spontaneously surrounded the outside, and all the actions of entering the temple were handed over to the soldiers to carry out.

In Puji Temple, the prince of the Taiyuan royal family, who was originally panicked, gradually recovered his emotions after a period of buffering, and lowered his head to quickly think about how to avoid greater losses. But he didn't think that his poor spiritual power had been quietly invaded by Li Kuan a long time ago, and all his memories were turned over.

Looking through this guy's memory, Li Kuan knew that the family in this year had such a strong background. It is no wonder that in history, several generations of emperors of the Sui and Tang dynasties tried every means to suppress the wealthy and gather power. tossed until Wu Zetian ascended to the throne, and he barely overshadowed the limelight of the family. But it relied on the talents that the Tang Dynasty had accumulated for decades. It's a pity that the momentary victory is fattened by another beast of desire.

It is no exaggeration to say that each of the five wealthy families surnamed Qiwang is an independent small kingdom based on facts. Moreover, the families intermarried with each other, formed offensive and defensive alliances, and helped each other, so they could treat the imperial power as nothing.

Since this matter is related to the Taiyuan Wang family, can you take this opportunity to bite a lump directly in the Wang family? Well, it seems that it is more appropriate to leave this matter to Daddy.

Li Kuan was thinking about this plan, and a series of various cries suddenly sounded in his ears. It turned out that the parents of the city who had lost their children in recent years rushed to hear the news, and many parents had already found their sons and daughters in the scene, and they lost control of their emotions for a while, and cried on the spot.

Li Kuan waved his hand to stop the soldiers from intercepting them, and let the parents enter the field to meet their sons. With a sigh, he walked out, intending to go to other temples to take a look at the situation.

When I passed by the main hall in front of which the statue of the Buddha was enshrined, I suddenly realized that most of the Buddha statues at this time were made of copper. This is also a hidden means for Buddhism to accumulate wealth, and the events of the Buddha in the past generations are often related to these wealth. On a whim, the divine sense swept back and forth in the hall several times, and there was an unexpected surprise.

"Someone!" Li Kuan pointed to the tall Buddha statue: "Since these bald donkeys dare to use this Buddha statue as a guise to do evil, then smash the idol of this robber leader!" ”

Soldiers in the early years of the founding of the country, there were no soft eggs. All day long, his head is tied to his trouser belt, he begs for a life with a knife, and his reverence for the Buddha is limited. I didn't smash the Buddha statue before, so I can't tell His Highness's attitude.

There have long been rumors in the market that His Royal Highness likes the monks of Buddhism, but he owes Buddhism any favors, anyway, the relationship between their upper-level bigwigs is quite complicated. The little people, when no one is in charge, do not dare to do anything blasphemous. What if they reconcile afterwards? Wouldn't you be unlucky!

Li Kuan came out and got an idea, so what else is there to worry about!

Immediately, a group of soldiers stepped forward and cleaned up the offering table. With a rope around the Buddha's neck, he dragged the kind-hearted old monk down from the high offering platform like a dead dog.

Rumble! Click! After a chaotic loud bang, the bronze Buddha statue cracked, revealing the contents of its belly. When they saw the Buddha statue in their belly, everyone was dumbfounded.
