When he said this, several clan elders looked at each other in fright, and no one dared to move. Yang Chengzu is a human being in two lifetimes, and he is the most sensitive to group incidents, and he also knows that this kind of thing must be eliminated when it is first struck, otherwise once it becomes a big trouble, it will be out of control.

Fortunately, a few years ago, the Zhengde Dynasty had just broken out the rebellion of the white-clothed army of Liu Liu and Liu Qi, and the upper and lower levels strictly guarded against the people's uprising, and once there was a little suspicion, they would be eliminated by thunderbolt and thunder. In order to prevent civil uprisings, two sets of measures were pursued in the Ming Dynasty. On the one hand, once there is a popular uprising, the local officials must be held responsible, and if they do not do well, they must remove the seal. On the other hand, it is to crack down on the people's uprisings, not only to strictly investigate and defend the civil associations, but also to expel a large number of people when they gather, and to allow the local officials to take active measures to deal with any confrontation.

How did the common people know about the magistrate's seals? They only knew that the civil rebellion was a capital crime, and Jinyiwei happened to be investigating such cases.

Since they knew why Tie Zhongying died, they also knew that there was indeed a big case of kidnapping Zhixian in this county, and since those bandits dared to kidnap the county honor, they said that they were strongmen who rebelled, and they were completely in the past. It's not fun to get involved with people like that.

Besides, the reputation of the Cao Gang in this countryside is equal to that of Shaolin monks, and they all have the prestige of Zhang Wenyuan, the great Wei general. How dare these rural descendants be compared with those ruthless people in the Cao Gang, as soon as they heard that the other party could actually get a share of the money from the Cao Gang and transfer thugs from the Cao Gang, the voices of these clan elders were a little lower. If this is gathered and born, if it really causes the disaster of destroying the village, it will dig its own grave.

If you want to talk about the slaughter of villages, no one may have believed it in the past, but since the chaos of the white-clothed army, the villages that have been slaughtered are not one or two, and now no one can say whether the imperial court will attack the people. Therefore, as soon as he was frightened, these people did not dare to shout at people to fight, "The military master is gracious, the military master is gracious." We are all peaceful and good people, how dare we gather people to rebel? There has never been any collusion with those thieves who murdered officials and rebelled, and the military master must investigate it clearly. ”

"No collusion? I'm afraid not. Tie Tou died to catch the thief, but when you changed hands, you forced his widow and orphan girl to become nuns, and took away his property, and you dare to say that you did not collude with the thief, who would believe it? If you want me to say, take you to the Jinyi Guard's yamen, ask carefully, I think it doesn't matter if it has a relationship, you will know when you ask. ”

As soon as he asked the word, the legs of the clan elders were weak. Everyone has said it, ask it. Needless to say, it means asking. The country legend brocade clothes guard all kinds of means, that is miserable, can be called the world's Senluo, what scrubbing and shaving head, and what kind of red embroidered shoes and cold duck water, as long as three or more of them are used, don't expect your old bones to come back.

The elders of the clan pounced and pounced, and they all fell to their knees, "The military master spares his life, the military master spares his life, can't I not want the field?" We really have nothing to do with the thieves, we are really wronged. All this ...... Everything is the meaning of the masters of Chengfu Temple, the fields of our small iron village are basically monks' property, and the mill, oil mill and pot are also monks' property, the meaning of those masters, how can we disobey? Please also ask the military master to be considerate of one or two, extrajudicial mercy. ”

"The monk of Chengfukuji Temple? Well, you go and find the monks, and say that the official wants to talk to them, if they dare not come, the monks who were caught by me have to break their legs and send them back to Chengfu Temple to see if their old masters can come up and down. Let them come over on their own, and we'll talk slowly. ”

When the patriarchs heard this, they were like being forgiven, and their waists and legs were unprecedentedly useful, and they fled to the patriarch's house as soon as they slipped through the smoke and dust, and asked a few masters to come and save people.

The dozen or so cultural monks were scattered and fled back to the old man's house, where they were eating dog meat at this time, discussing what to do with the two women when they were sent to the nunnery, and glanced at the breasts of the few female relatives who came out to deliver the food as they spoke. At this moment, I saw that several clan elders came back with no faces, saying that the patriarch was taken by Jinyi, and asked a few masters to ask for someone, otherwise I am afraid that the patriarch will not be able to come back.

The Dharma name Zongzhen who took the lead in this monk is the true disciple of Master Guangzhao, and his status in the temple is very high, and the Dharma is also the most profound. It was his idea to design an ambush against Tao Zhongwen yesterday, and he didn't want to be beaten by this dry journey, but now even the patriarch was taken.

He had the heart to greet the descendants of Shangtiezhuang and clean up the dry brocade clothes, but he heard from a few clan elders that those brocade guards had even cleaned up the Cao Gang, as if they could still move the thugs of the Cao Gang. This has to be considered, and the comparison of force between the two doesn't seem to have much advantage.

The tens of thousands of good stick disciples of Shaolin Temple, like the 8,000 monks and soldiers he claimed to the outside world, are all imaginary numbers that cannot be true. If there are really tens of thousands of monks and soldiers, the governor of Henan will not be able to sleep well. There are thousands of warrior monks with good sticks in the main temple, and each branch of the temple is under the door, where can the many monks be raised. Poor and rich in martial arts, the food of the warrior monks is large, and it has always been the bulk of Shaolin's expenditure, and there have long been monks who have suggested that the warrior monks be abolished to save money.

For example, the senior monk, known as the Shaolin think tank, Master Hong Wu has published a famous article, believing that the main tone of the current martial arts is peace and development, and the days of fighting and tearing are destined to be gone, so the existence of monks and soldiers is really a waste of Shaolin public funds and should be gradually withdrawn.

Although Chengfu Temple has thousands of acres of land, it is necessary to hand over the Shaolin Temple, but also to feed the 100 cultural monks in the temple, and more than 20 warrior monks are a bit too much. If it weren't for the fear of tenants making trouble, I'm afraid that there would be no warrior monks left.

Those coolies of the Cao Gang, if it is a dry hard frame, it is only a share of mobilizing more than 100 people, but the problem is that if you want to talk about a dry hard frame, he Chengfu Temple may not be able to mobilize dozens of monks. If you don't count the strength of this mountain, you can't fight with it by relying on Chengfuji Temple alone.

Since the use of force does not work, we have to think of other ways. Zong Zhen said: "I have always been good friends with the county's householder Cheng Jiao Rong, and I can also speak in front of Nazhi County." Senior Brother Zongben, if you take my name and go to the yamen, you will say that Yang Chengzu, a hundred households in Jinyiwei, is doing evil in Xiaotiezhuang, forcibly occupying land, indiscriminately arresting monks, and occupying widows. I want Nazhi County to find a way to clean up this dog thief. Even if he can't control it, he must be transferred back to the county to restrain his behavior. As long as you go to this backer, isn't that slut still at our disposal? ”

To say that this sect is really worthy of having a friendship with the Yamen, Yu Ming officialdom knows a lot, Jinyiwei is a military minister, no matter how good he is, he must first fold half of his prestige to the above officials. Zhang Jiayin, the local county magistrate, is from two lists, his waist is stiff, is it still a matter to pack up a hundred households in brocade clothes?

Zong Ben said: "Senior brother, I heard that this brocade is the life-saving benefactor of the county order, do you say that this county will be towards us?" ”

Zong Zhen said with a smile: "Senior brother, you don't understand, this civil official is not a person from the rivers and lakes, but he doesn't talk about the way to repay kindness, on the contrary, it is true that he will take revenge." This brocade clothes saw his embarrassed appearance, Bao Zhun is his No. 1 enemy in Tianzi, let's give him this opportunity to clean up the surname Yang, this county official is too late to be happy, how can he not be to us? Since ancient times, I have been promoting Mien, fighting Mi hatred, but don't forget. ”
