Fan Mo, the master of Bazhou Zhizhou, rushed to pay respects to Qincha early in the morning, today is the Chinese New Year's Eve, and there are already sporadic firecrackers in various parts of the city, crackling and bringing a smell of the New Year.

Liang Hong got up early, but he accompanied Lord Zhizhou to the door of Qinchalou, but was told that the Lord was still bedridden and was sleeping lazy. The two of them laughed and laughed, sitting in the hall drinking tea, chatting, and waiting for half an hour before they saw Yang Ling disheveled and yawned and walked in.

Lord Fan hurriedly got up and said respectfully: "Grandpa Guo, the Di family has a total of more than 1,000 hectares of real estate in the local area, seven shops, more than 900 real estate, more than 400 domestic servants and maids who were sold as slaves, in addition to the confiscated gold, silver, jewelry, jade and other things are sealed in the treasury, all the property is registered, and everything that should be seized has been sealed. ”

"What's the hurry?" Yang Ling said sleepily: "After checking today, can't you rush back on the first day of the new year?" Ahh Chinese New Year's Eve h ”

Yang Ling patted his head and said, "I remember, today is the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, and the Chinese New Year's Eve is the unscrupulous landlord's family who still wants debts, and this grandfather is going to receive the property of the Dark family?" No, no, it's too unkind, uh, I see, let's talk about it in two days, Grandpa Liang, what do you say? ”

When Father-in-law Liang heard this, he said happily: "What Grandpa said is that Grandpa is a kind person, and it is better to receive it in a few days."

Lord Fan thought that he would make the accounts clear and let the prince of the country accept Lisuo, and finish the matter as soon as possible, but he didn't expect that in this small place in Bazhou, the two Qincha still like to live.

As soon as he saw that the principal and deputy Qincha had to be "kind-hearted people", Lord Fan had no choice but to smile bitterly: "Yes, yes, it is the recklessness of the lower officials, it is difficult to travel on the snowy road in winter, where can the two Qincha adults sleep for a night?" Well, Grandpa Guo and Grandpa Liang want to stay for a few days first, I don't know what arrangements can be made today, do you need to be accompanied by officials? ”

Yang Ling said: "Excuse me, today's New Year, Lord Fan should have sealed the government a long time ago, in order to wait for us, a lot of things have been delayed, just go back to the house for the New Year." This grandfather is busy in Beijing, and he is sent to the princes all day, and he comes out of Beijing to calm his mind, rest and sleep, and clear his stomach, which is called the way of health preservation. You are busy with your going, I will go to the street at will when I am bored, what are the plans of Grandpa Liang? ”

Liang Hong said with a smile: "Our family and the local town guard eunuch Zhang Zhong and Zhang Gonggong were old friends in the palace, and Grandpa Guo was not busy running errands, so our family went to pay a visit." ”

Yang Ling smiled and said: "Okay, let's go to our respective places, my grandfather will go to sleep again, I just changed places, I haven't slept all night, see you later."

Yang Ling stacked them and went back to sleep again, if Master Fan hadn't been instructed by Zhang Zhong, nor did he care too much about this outdated Lord Yang, Yang Ling'er was promoted, but he couldn't care about his own piece, since he was too lazy to count his property in Chinese New Year's Eve, Fan Zhifu remembered that there should be many officials in his own mansion today to come to the door to pay New Year's greetings and give gifts, so he also slipped away.

When Liang Hong took a sedan chair and rushed to Zhang Zhong's mansion, Yang Ling waited for a while, and also took a small sedan chair and went out from the corner gate. More than 20 family members pretended to be ordinary people to guard the front and back, and Yang Ling and Black Harrier Miao Gang sat in the sedan chair together.

Because of the Chinese New Year, the city of Bazhou is full of festive colors, the ladies and wives of large families also take their families out, and small merchants and hawkers are crowded in the corners of the streets and alleys, and there are really a lot of people. Yang Ling and his entourage walked slowly around the city, was walking forward, suddenly a large number of people and horses rushed in front of them, beating gongs and drums, the sound of cymbals was deafening, the flags were hunting in the wind, and the traders and pedestrians were on the road one after another, and many people knelt on the ground and bowed and worshipped.

Yang Ling saw this faction, even if the prince went out on patrol, he might not be able to catch it, so he curiously asked someone to park the sedan chair on the side of the road, open the sedan curtain to watch, from the flag, there are Buddhist six-character mantras, as well as the swastika Buddha number, followed by a large number of small novices, big monks, high Xuan Buddha number, cymbals sound together, then I know that it is a monk.

Yesterday, I just heard Miao Gang say that there are four thieves in Bazhou, and this fake Buddhism that cheats money and sex ranks second. Yang Ling stared at it, but saw four luxurious carriages passing by in turn, with a lotus throne on the car, and each of them sat a monk in a big red robe, the four monks were all over the age, longevity eyebrows and long hair, the treasure was solemn, one by one closed their eyes and chanted, ignoring the hustle and bustle around them, and they did look like they were masters of the Tao.

As the car drove past, the devout believers stood up one after another, and someone said, "Didn't the four Buddhas practice in Longquan Temple?" Where is this heading? ”

Another person who knew the matter said: "I heard that Eunuch Zhang, who is guarding this place, invited the four Buddhas to come to the door to do things and celebrate the auspicious New Year."

"Phew! Eating people and not people, if you invite a true Buddha, you can't bless him! Someone scolded.

Yang Ling put down the sedan curtain and said in a low voice: "It seems that the people of Bazhou are very devout to these living Buddhas, but they don't have a good impression of the eunuch Zhang Zhong." But the strange thing is that they hate Zhang Zhong so much, but they have no complaints about the four monks who came to pray for him, and these four monks are very popular with the people."

The black harrier smiled bitterly and said: "This is their cleverness, a mouth and a lotus tongue can make you willing to give all your belongings, and in turn he will give you a bowl of porridge You feel that it is a great compassionate Buddha heart."

We didn't have so many Buddhism here in Bazhou, it is said that they are all the worldly masters who waited for Emperor Hongzhi in the Wanchun Palace and Shou'an Palace in the capital a few years ago, and they have great magical powers and powers, and they moved here to Pudu sentient beings. ”

"Originally lived in Wanchun Palace and Shou'an Palace?"

Yang Ling suddenly realized that the rampant Bazhou god stick was still the bane left by Emperor Hongzhi. In the eleventh year of Hongzhi, Emperor Hongzhi favored the eunuch Li Guang, and Gu Dayong took refuge in Li Guang at that time and found a good messenger in Dongchang.

Li Guangbian didn't have the ability, that is, he could make alchemy and pray for blessings, and invited many gods from all over the world to confuse the emperor and become the first favorite minister of the Son of Heaven. At that time, civil and military officials had to look up to him, and Li Guang's appetite for accepting bribes was also very great, so that if someone asked for bribes too harshly in the officialdom of Beijing now, the bribe giver would sigh to his relatives and friends when he came back: "This person's appetite is greater than Li Guang!" ”

This fashionable saying has not faded to this day, and it has become more popular recently, and most officials who have been to Liu Jin's mansion will say it to people with a wry smile on their faces.

Emperor Hongzhi was generous, and after Li Guang's crimes were exposed, Hongzhi did not severely punish these monks and monks, but sent them out of the capital.

Yang Ling looked at the black harrier and said with a smile: "These monks and Taoists, who were originally in Beijing to deceive the emperor and the princes and ministers, are well-informed and have a variety of tricks, no wonder so many people, even many gentry and celebrities, have been deceived by them, and it is rare that Brother Miao can see through their tricks."

The black harrier blushed and said squeaked: "Grandpa Guo, I invited you out today, not so that you can take a look at the situation in Bazhou, you can walk around the street casually and see nothing."

Speaking of which, we are thieves and their Buddhism and Taoism are well water and do not violate river water, they use their mouths to make money, we use knives to make money, it is the eight immortals who cross the sea, each showing its ability, the eldest brother and not to mention the second brother, all the way goods, the heart is the same black. And although we don't believe in their tricks, we don't know that deeply.

I know so much about the deceptive tricks of these monks and Taoists, in fact, it has been a matter of the past two months. In the temple of the dragon king where I lived, there were a few beggars who lived there, and one of them was also a newcomer, and when he came, he was seriously injured, as if he had been beaten, and I had just come out of prison, and fled there with my mother on my back, and I looked at him pitifully, and if he stuttered, I fed him a little, and then I became a good brother.

Once, I heard him talk in his dreams at night, screaming and shouting to kill, and I woke him up, and when I asked him later, he was forced to tell me the truth. It turned out that he was a lay protector beside the four so-called Buddhas who had just passed, because he knew their tricks to deceive people, so he resisted, but was seriously injured by the thugs and thrown into the Juma River to feed the fish.

He had the heart to take revenge, and he was afraid of being recognized, so he cut his face with tiles, and avoided entering the Longwu Temple as a beggar.

"Oh?" Yang Ling's expression became solemn and asked, "This person is still in the Dragon King Temple?" Why don't you bring him to me, can't my lord vindicate him? ”

Miao Gang said with a difficult face: "Last night, the two poor masters accompanied me to pick up the old mother, I went to the temple and quietly told him that I knew a nobleman, maybe I could help him redress his grievances, he just shook his head and laughed miserably, and told me not to reveal his identity, only to say that even the big man in the court could not redress his grievances, I was afraid that the two officials were waiting outside in a hurry, so I casually agreed to come down, now I think about it, what can he do alone to take revenge? So I said it to you anyway".

Yang Ling thought for a while and said, "Let's go, take me to see him immediately, if he doesn't feel at ease after thinking about it and deliberately avoids me, it will be troublesome."

Bazhou City is built on the Juma River, and the Dragon King Temple is on the wharf by the Juma River.

The Juma River used to be the border of Song and Liao, shallow and unworkable, deep enough to reject horses, and was named after it. In fact, the river here can still be boated, but in spring and summer, when the water is strong, you can run a flat-bottomed sand boat, and the big boat really can't work.

In addition, the land official post is also built along the river, so this wharf is still lively, it is not only a waterway wharf, but also a land passenger and freight collection station. The wharf men built simple houses here, medicinal herbs, cloths, grain merchants, stacked warehouses, row upon row; This is the slum area of Bazhou, and the bitter haha people are also divided into gangs, and more than 30 big brothers of all sizes are divided into areas according to their respective influences, of course, it is not their turn to collect protection money or anything, and the purpose of fighting for territory is just to fight for the opportunity to give merchants the opportunity to work hard.

They must not grab other people's territory when they carry goods and go up and down the slopes, otherwise it will lead to a bloody weapon fight of "hitting the docks". The big brothers on the dock can fight well and sit on the ground. At present, the eight most powerful dock brothers are known as the eight Arhats, and people like Miao Gang, who are full of kung fu, if they are sound with their hands and feet, they may be able to mix up a thug by their side, but if they become crippled, they can only beg on the street.

It's the New Year, and when I arrived in this slum area on the edge of Bazhou City, I didn't see any New Year's atmosphere. The coolies on the wharf are still carrying the goods, one by one they are elated, they are not afraid to contribute, there is work to eat, the more goods the heavier and heavier, the happier they are.

The huge cooking oil cylinder weighs more than 200 catties, they are in a group of two, with hemp rope on the shoulder, difficult to march towards the warehouse, skin oil is the main material for making candles, mostly packed with a large bamboo basket of paste paper, each basket also has 200 catties, two porters with a flat pole to carry, shouting "hi ah yo" in the mouth, step by step staggering and walking.

This is the world that really belongs to the poor, these poor people who have no property and no job, and most of them are bankrupt and landless peasants, who are forced to leave their homes to work as coolies and build shacks in the wilderness by the river.

They were officially ridiculed as "people who do not plow, weave, do not work, and do not trade", and they are a large number of unhealthy people in society. But who would know that all they ask for is a bite to eat and a piece of clothing to wear?

However, there are people who are even more miserable than them. Passing through a low alley is a rather ruined dragon king temple, the walls are ventilated, and it is even more difficult to keep out the cold than the wooden hut, I really don't know how those beggars survived the winter. Beggars are ignored, and if they are sick, they will freeze their corpses stiff in the howling of the cold wind, and their kind companions may dig a pit for him, or they will throw them into the wasteland and feed them to the wild dogs, and no one in the government or the Baojiali will pursue them.

Today is the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, and if you go to a large family or a restaurant inn, most of them can get some alms, so the beggars are busy in the city with broken sacks, and the temple is empty.

Miao Gangqi said: "He shouldn't go out to beg for food, his discounted leg hasn't been raised yet, and he can't go far at all.

Yang Ling suddenly stopped him, listened for a moment, waved his hand and said, "Go to the two of you, go to the back and have a look!" ”

Liu Dabang mallet immediately flashed to the back with two guards, and the back of the Temple of the Broken Dragon King was piled up by these beggars, and only a small opening was left in the gate.

A man in rags sat on the snow by the river, holding a knife in his hand, and was sprinkling snow while grinding on a stone, when he saw a few brightly dressed people suddenly flash out of the temple, and the man was startled, and staggered to his feet to flee.

Liu Dabang mallet him go, immediately rushed over, unloaded the knife in his hand cleanly, let the two subordinates take him left and right, and dragged him back to the Dragon King Temple. As soon as Miao Gang saw the man, he stepped forward and called: "Brother, don't panic, this is the great noble person I told you yesterday, if you want to take revenge, only this adult can help you."

The man struggled for a long time, tired and panting, and the flesh scars on his face that had not yet grown were writhing like maggots, looking extremely hideous, making people look a little disgusting, and after listening to Miao Gang's words, the man's frightened expression relaxed.

Yang Ling made a look, and gently sat the man on the ground left and right, and the man's eyes were staring at Yang Ling tightly, looking cautiously without saying a word.

Yang Ling smiled lightly, walked up to him and slowly squatted down, and said, "You were deceived by the magic stick and ruined your family, right?" Tell me about you and I can help you! ”

The man hissed and laughed: "Who are you?" Is it a patrol envoy or a court envoy? Hahaha, whoever you are, you can't help me. Those silver monks have made friends with countless powerful people, and they are all in cahoots with them in Bazhou, and the good people and people are deceived by them.

Want to get rid of these Silver Monks? Even if you are an inspector, do you know how many people here worship them as living Buddhas, and if you dare to move their fingers, tens of thousands of crazy people will rebel? Even if you are the Qincha of the imperial court, is your authority greater than that of Eunuch Zhang and the celebrity in front of Gonggong Liu in the capital? ”

A sneering smile appeared at the corner of Yang Ling's mouth: "Then how are you going to deal with him, on your own?" With this one"

Yang Ling beckoned and took the sharp knife from Liu Dabang's hand, the sharp knife was rusty, the blade was full of gaps, and the steel mouth was not good, thin, and it seemed that it could be broken with a pinch. Yang Ling flicked his finger on the blade and said, "With this broken knife, dragging your broken leg, you want to kill a large number of warrior monks and assassinate four demon monks?" ”

A look of despair flashed in the man's eyes, and he said stupidly: "I was the one who led the wolves into the house, if I can't kill them, I will apologize to the old mother and beloved wife under Jiuquan with death."

"Dang" on the ground, the knife was thrown aside by Yang Ling, Yang Ling slowly stood up, and said: "Listen to your tone, I still know a lot about officialdom, and your original identity is not low." Well, you've probably heard my name. My name is Yang Ling! ”

The man's body shook, his hands clutched at the dirt on the ground, and he raised his head to stare at him.

Liu Dabang smiled and said: "Boy, he is the one who resisted the holy decree of the first emperor in Beijing!" He was the one who met the Duoyan Sanwei and the Tatar Khan in the northern frontier! He was the one who drove out the Western fleet and helped restore Manchuria! In the southwest, he is the one who quelled the rebellion for more than a hundred years and solved the case of the prince of Shu seizing the heir!

I forgot to tell you that two of the three major eunuchs in Jiangnan died at the hands of our grandfather. Now it's just four bald donkeys, you say our grandfather can't be killed? ”

The man looked up stupidly for a long time, tears covered his eyes, and suddenly he howled miserably, hugged Yang Ling's thigh, and cried: "Lord Yang, the student is wronged, the student has a deep hatred in the sea of blood, beg Lord Yang to avenge the small people!" ”

"Student Mu Jing, is a student of Yongqing, the family is also wealthy, is one of the few wealthy families in the local area, once with his wife accompanied his mother to Longquan Temple to incense, saw the four living Buddhas. They are not monks of Longquan Temple, but they have been living there for a long time, because of the vast supernatural powers, with many believers, the abbot of Longquan Temple can not control them, that place seems to have become their home.

The students saw them perform spells in public, shoot objects in the air, step on fire barefoot, and have great magical powers, and they were fascinated for a while, and they listened to their nonsense about planting blessings in the afterlife, and became their believers. Their preaching and preaching are really powerful, and the students somehow listen more and more to their words, and sometimes they believe them without the slightest hesitation.

In order to show their sincerity, the students donated a large amount of money, and thus became the protector of the Dharma under the seat of the four living Buddhas, encouraging many friends and relatives to worship under the seat of the living Buddha. However, as my status became higher and higher, and I came into contact with more and more things, the students found that these four holy monks had to make a lot of preparations every time they showed their supernatural powers to do ** things, and when they arrived at the mansion of the wealthy officials, they all brought their own instruments to perform spells.

Although the students never knew the essentials and didn't know what to steal the door, the students thought, if they really have great powers, why do these things, shouldn't the gods just chant the spell, even if they want to draw talismans, there is no reason to use the special tables and chairs that have been prepared for the practice.

In addition, at this time, the four living Buddhas have nearly 10,000 followers, and they have to collect seed money and household money every year, and the planting money is paid according to three yuan (the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the fifteenth day of July, and the fifteenth day of October), the second meeting (the third day of the third month of the lunar calendar, the ninth day of the ninth month of September), the two equinoxes (spring equinox, autumn equinox), and four standing (the beginning of spring, the beginning of summer, the beginning of autumn, and the beginning of winter). The account is paid once a quarter throughout the year.

This money alone is innumerable, not to mention a big donor like me who donates a lot of sesame oil money for the sake of "planting blessings in this life and blessings in the next life", but they occasionally give porridge once, and the cost is very small, and a large amount of money is missing, and I don't know where it was used. ”

Even at this point, the students still believe that they are gods and Buddhas who have attained the golden body, and they follow them obsessively. Gradually, however, the students discovered that they had recruited female believers, and they had lured them into dedicating themselves on the grounds of "a match made in heaven" and "a marriage in the past life and a wish in the present life".

Yang Ling smiled bitterly when he heard this, and couldn't help but think of the Red Silk Club he met in Zhenjiang, Jiangnan, the methods used by that master Ni Ke were roughly similar, but he still knew how to restrain and take advantage of the woman's newlywed, and he was shy and didn't dare to admit to others that he had been deceived by someone. But these silver monks were even more emboldened, and openly sought some reason to possess these women in a grand manner.

Mu Jing sighed and said: "Pity those young women, just as I am willing to scatter all my family wealth to honor the living Buddha, one by one has long been obsessed, willing to dedicate himself, and proud to serve the Buddha, hoping that this can absorb immortal energy and become immortals and become Buddhas." Since ancient times, how can there be such gods and Buddhas?

The students began to regret gradually and wanted to get rid of these demon monks, but it was easy to join the union and difficult to get out, they had close contacts with the dignitaries and magnates, and had great influence in the upper echelons, and the people, the people who were crazy about them were countless, and they all believed that they were the reincarnation of the real immortals, including the friends and relatives I introduced to the association, and now they are as obsessed as I was at the beginning, and everyone is looking forward to enjoying great wealth in the next life under their transcendence, and even becoming immortals.

You can't imagine the level of that obsession, and if anyone dares to point out to them that these monks are fake immortals, or try to point out something suspicious that they are not like immortals, they will be furious as if they had dug up their ancestral graves."

When Mu Jing said this, his cheeks twitched a few times, and his eyes showed a look of horror, and he said: "I tried to tell a brother of my own family about my suspicions, but he immediately turned against me, scolding me for not being devout enough to the gods and Buddhas, and for causing my family not to be reborn in the next life, and so on. ”

When the four demon monks found that I no longer trusted them so much, they sent a few people to strengthen their control over me, and announced at the Buddhist meeting that I was destined for the Buddha, and asked me to become a true protector of the Buddha, join the practice of the true Buddha, and donate all my property. ”

Mu Shengren said bitterly: "I can't live because I have done my own sin, all the believers have only envy for me, and even my mother has encouraged me to worship under the True Buddha Sect immediately and become a disciple." If I had refused, I was afraid that they would have immediately declared that I had been infiltrated by evil spirits, and then found a reason to secretly kill me, so I had to pretend to agree and hand over the title deed against my will. But".

Mu Shengyuan trembled: "But when I became useless, they restricted my movements, and began to fight my wife's idea, I regretted and hated, and secretly looked for an opportunity to tell her what I knew, but fortunately, my wife has never believed in these things, and when I was obsessed, she also persuaded me, and began to discuss how to escape."

"But I still have my mother there, I wanted to run away with my mother, but I didn't think that my mother was more obsessed than me, but scolded me for being confused and stealing, and even suspected the Buddha, and pulled me to ask the four demon monks to plead guilty, my wife An begged her mother, and was also scolded by her, at this time the people under the demon monk were alarmed, and in the fight, my old mother's head touched the incense case, and the blood flowed all over the ground, and An was stabbed to death by the demon monk in order to save me.

I escaped alone, and was chased by them to the Juma River, beaten and fainted. It was night, and they threw me into the river when I was dead, and the river woke me up with its bitter water, and when I climbed ashore, I hid myself, and fearing that they would find me, I made my face, and I thought about going to the government to complain, but ".

"I stayed here for a few days, met Brother Miao and a few other people, and later said that Brother Miao knew about me, I entrusted him to help me inquire about the news, who expected that the situation was that I practiced the greed of madness, so that I entered the magic barrier, wanted to steal the magic weapon of the living Buddha, and after the defeat, I killed my mother and wife, and fled to other places.

Not only did many monks in the meeting witness this, but also many believers passed it on vividly, and even the government confirmed my accusations, and the students followed them for a long time, knowing that they were very powerful, they could say that the black was white, and the dead were alive. If I come forward to file a complaint, I will immediately be condemned to death row by the government, and they will have countless human and physical evidence to convict me. ”

"My lord, not only the gentry and people of Bazhou are many of their believers, those who enter Beijing as officials, those who leave Beijing to let go of local officials, many people will come to these demon monks to calculate their future before they go to work, and many princes and nobles in Beijing often send people to incense and ask the Buddha to pray for blessings, I know that I want to take revenge is simply delusional, but I just want to fight for my surname and fight for my own sins.

If you want to punish the four demon monks, the local government must not dare to disobey, although they want to become immortals and become Buddhas, but after all, they cherish the glory and wealth in front of them.

However, those ordinary people who are all pinning their hopes on the next life, nearly 10,000 pious disciples, if you dare to touch the four demon monks, even if they will not riot and rebel, there will inevitably be a large number of fanatical believers who will besiege your yamen and help the officials release them by setting fire to [***] and self-mutilating and self-abuse.

In the month of the Great New Year, if such a tragedy really happens, I am afraid that even with the authority of the adults, they will be impeached by many officials, and those noble relatives and princes who believe in demon monks will take the opportunity to come forward to make peace."

"Cult!" Yang Ling scolded, and said, "Don't they boast that they have the ability to penetrate the heavens and the earth? If they were captured by a few of my mortal flesh mere men, would those people still believe that they were true Buddhas and had real skills? ”

"Faith! Just say that they can't bear to kill, but they should use the great Buddha heart and great compassion to purify sentient beings, influence ignorance, and bear all the sufferings on behalf of the believers, and they will be moved to weep bitterly", Mu Shengren smiled bitterly: "There are really not a few outliers like me among their believers."

Liu Dabang and a few people listened to it incredible, it shouldn't be like this, since you blow yourself to the sky and the earth, you can do anything, but as soon as the officers and soldiers arrive, they will immediately catch them, and the cowhide will not be pierced immediately? Will there still be so many people convinced? Can't get the [***] medicine?

Yang Ling believes that those who have been bewitched really can't be speculated with common sense. Yang Ling pondered for a long time before slowly bowing his head and saying: "You hope that I will avenge you, but you don't take the trouble to repeatedly tell them how powerful they are, it seems that you have lingering fears about their ability to bewitch the hearts of the people." Hehe, don't worry, how many fierce gods and evil gods have been taken down, I don't believe that I can't deal with these fake immortals. ”

He turned around and walked out, and said to the big mallet: "Carry him back, let Mu Shengren and Brother Miao ride in the same sedan chair, and we will go back all the way."

Liu Dabang mallet listened to the music: "We used to go out for a walk, and we must pick up a big girl to come back, this time it's good, I picked up two beggars in two days, and the Weiguo Mansion has changed to a good hall!" ”

"What should I do, I know that they are fake, but it is too difficult to move them, and in the future generations to deal with the cult, the propaganda and exposure are overwhelming, and the obsessive and unenlightened people are still innumerable, and to hold a street meeting to convince those foolish people is tantamount to a fool's dream, as long as there is a slight incident, those gentry and landlords will take the opportunity to agitate, and maybe it will cause a civil uprising. But can we sit back and watch these gods cheat money and deceive people into ruin? ”

"The desire is hard to fill, now they are still satisfied with being living immortals in Bazhou, with the increasing power and influence, God knows if it will be another Maitreya sect, once it develops to that point, it will only be a war to meet each other, I don't know how many people will be harmed at that time, but how can we punish these cult leaders now, but it will not attract a strong backlash from those foolish people?"

"Foolish people, foolish women, alas! Being cheated of money and sex, and being willing to be driven, poor people must really have something to hate" Yang Ling frowned and returned to the mansion, and saw dozens of officials walking out with a cover roll, and the two flag officials behind him cried and said with sad faces when they saw Yang Ling: "My lord, you can come back."

Yang Ling took a look and said in surprise: "Huh? Where are you going? ”

The flag officer said pitifully: "A big girl came to the capital, brought nearly a thousand people, and said that the backyard is your residence, and she must be closely protected, so she drove us all to the front yard."

The backyard was originally the main house where the master of the dark family lived, whether it was the fire wall or the ondol, or the environment of the house, it was not comparable to the residence of the servants in the front yard, of course they were not very happy.

Liu Dabang's small eyes stared at Yang Ling, and said in his heart: "It turns out that I guessed wrong, I don't need to pick it up this time, the eldest girl sent it to the door by herself." ”

"There is a girl in the capital, and with more than a thousand soldiers, who has such great ability? Yun'er is coming? She won't show up in public and make a big noise, who else can it be, it can't be Her Royal Highness the princess who is chasing after her in person, right? Yang Ling asked suspiciously, "Can she explain her identity?" ”

The flag officer coughed and said dryly: "That girl holds the decree of the general's seal, saying that she is the commander of the imperial guards in front of the imperial army, the protector of the imperial nunnery who is personally enshrined by the saint, and Song Xiaoai is the general of Song."

Yang Ling laughed when he heard this, and hurriedly rushed to the back house, Liu Dabang grinned, and also looked up to the sky to make a haha, throwing away the two beggars who were holding on to his left and right hands, and chased him in happily.

The two beggars who read the power of the golden rooster shook for a moment, and hurriedly supported each other, and became a complete person, looking at each other in amazement. Mu Shengyuan said in his heart: "A woman, or a general, is rare!" Only a weird person like Lord Yang often has such strange things around him! ”

Miao Gang secretly thought: "He is the Duke of the Kingdom, and the women around the Duke of the Kingdom must be indispensable, but if his women are all generals with troops, it will be troublesome, Sister Cui is married, and she was born as a thief, if you really marry him one day, will you be bullied by others?" ”

With effective manpower, Yang Ling was bold. It turns out that there is no one you trust to use, no matter how powerful you are, the people under your command hook up with the people you want to do, and disobey you, you can only be set up and dried, it would be good not to become Qi Huan Gong who starved to death, don't want to do anything at all. Now that he has a thousand men who are completely at his disposal, he is sure that he will punish those gods.

Thinking of this, Yang Ling looked at Song Xiaoai's smile and nodded, and saw that the originally generous girl was actually shy, her face was hot, and she quietly lowered her head.

This scene looked at the eyes of the black harrier who jumped into the hall, but pouted disdainfully: "A yellow-haired girl who doesn't understand the amorous style, it's far worse than Sister Cui, it's not a threat, she can be a general, and my Sister Cui can be a generalissimo!" ”

Yang Ling said with a smile: "You have finally entered Beijing, is it Zhang Yongbao who promoted you as the commander of the guards and the protector of the imperial nunnery?" Hehe, Zhang Yong is a wonderful person, this arrangement is even better than I planned. ”

Song Xiaoai smiled sweetly and said: "The emperor said that the place is not quiet, my lord, you only take some officials from the criminal department to arrest the head, it is too unsafe, so I was asked to rush to protect the lord." My lord, when are we going to transport our belongings back to Beijing? ”

"This is not in a hurry, it is not so fast, counting the property, and publicly disposing of the auctioned property, real estate, utensils, and domestic slaves. What, hehe, hurry back to Beijing? ”

"No", Song Xiaoaiqiao blushed and said busily: "It's the first time to celebrate the New Year in the north, it's so lively in the Jingshi, but it's not bad here, in the last tense, I saw the four masters in a solemn battle and swaggered through the market, it's a New Year's prayer, right?" There are also dragon dances and lion dances invited by merchants to raise funds, which are very beautiful. ”

"Haha, that's good", Yang Ling knew that she was concerned about Wu Hanchao, but after all, the big thing was important, and she had to pretend not to know about her children's private affairs: "You like to be lively?" This house is very big, tomorrow I will invite some gong and drum team, dragon dance team, and an opera troupe to sing a church meeting, so many brothers will follow me to go out for the New Year, so I have to make everyone happy."

When he said this, he suddenly remembered a bold idea, and hurriedly thought in his heart, attacking the shield of the son with the spear of the son, although this method is vicious and bold, it is a good way to solve the four demon monks. These four people seem to be the heads of the gods in Bazhou who pretended to deceive the two sects of Buddhism and Taoism, as long as they are punished, the other gods will inevitably be embarrassed, and this big thief can be completely eliminated.

Thinking of this, Yang Ling happily got up and laughed: "Xiao Ai, Xiao Ai, you are really the blessed general of your country!" Stick mallet, arrange accommodation and food for Mu Shengyuan. I'm going to talk to General Song about business. Xiao Ai, let's go, let's go to the inner study and talk carefully! ”

"Hehe, I just did a ** thing, saying that it was to eliminate the infinite murderous aura of that Lord Qincha, and his invitation has arrived, you say, should we go?" Venerable Zhishan was tall and red-faced, and although he was over sixty years old, he was very strong and strong.

"Can you not go?" Zhicong's eyelids drooped, and he rolled his eyes impatiently, and the immortal spirit in front of him was completely gone: "That's Qincha, it's the grandfather of the country, can you offend casually?" Besides, he wants to donate a large amount of gold and silver, do a grand event, and invite officials from various departments of the Bazhou Prefecture, and invite local gentry and celebrities and innocent people to participate in the ** event, this is a great good deed, how can our four Buddhas not go? ”

Wisdom stroked his long hair and said: "This Yang Ling is the first celebrity in front of the emperor today, the prince of Jingzhong Gongqing, who came to us to tell fortunes and pray for blessings, has a very good opinion of him, in my opinion, this person is not as bad as the people say, so stupid, he will only listen to the wind is the rain, how credible is the words he said?" ”

Monk Zhiyuan smiled and said, "What kind of honest official, you don't know about his partnership with the emperor's relatives to do business?" Besides, he, the prince of the country, just came to Bazhou to raid the Di family, what reason is there to take care of our affairs? Does the government of Bazhou agree? Do the people of Bazhou agree? Don't cup bow snake shadow.

I think he has killed too much in the past two years, and now that he has withdrawn from the imperial court, he has begun to think about doing good deeds and accumulating blessings, eliminating evil karma for himself, accumulating virtue for his descendants, and planting blessings for the next life! ”

Zhishan frowned, and said excitedly: "I think Zhiyuan is right, he Yang Ling is now a very good minister, and he has all kinds of wives and concubines at home, you say that such a young man is a close minister of the Son of Heaven, and now he has nothing to do, what else will he think?" ”

Zhicong smiled gloomily and said slowly, "What else can you ask for?" There is nothing to ask for in this life, of course, it is to seek wealth in the next life, and even to become an immortal and a Buddha, and live forever."

When the other three heard this, they showed a deceitful smile at the same time, and the wisdom master brushed his long hair, and said excitedly: "Everyone, everyone, don't forget that he is the first celebrity in front of the Son of Heaven, when the son is young today, this ** thing, we have to show some magical skills, maybe through this grandfather, we can return to Beijing, and then enjoy the supreme glory of the court's worship and compliment."

"Ami~~ Buddha!" The four great monks are as if they have a spirit in their hearts, and at the same time, they have a single palm to declare the Buddha's name, and their faces seem to have a glowing flow, and the treasure is solemn, like a god and Buddha possessing the body.
