Chapter Seventy-Nine: Shaolin Temple

The peaks and peaks, the strange peaks and mountains, the strange rocks are craggy, the birds sing to their heart's content, the mountains and rivers are unique, and it is really a first-class feng shui treasure land.

  Runzhi and his party rode horses, humming tunes, deliberately slowing down this rare journey with a comfortable attitude, enjoying the wonderful scenery along the way, laughing and not very happy along the way.

  Many of the fast officials are also happy to stop in such a beautiful place, after several days of day and night rush, after all, there has been a little tiredness in their hearts, just with the help of this trip to Shaolin, to relax the tired mood brought by the day's rush.

  The cluster is completely different from this land of the Central Plains, like an eagle that suddenly rises in the air from this land of the Central Plains and stands abruptly on the land of the Central Plains, with a condescending bearing, absorbing the essence of the land of the Central Plains, which is so beautiful that people unconsciously indulge in its symptoms and forget to return.

  Although Runzhi had already written in the letter earlier, he had already stated to the abbot that he only needed to be prepared for what was mentioned in the letter.

  When I came to the gate of Shaolin Temple, I realized that Shaolin Temple had begun to drive pilgrims away several years ago and did not let pilgrims go on incense again.

  It is not difficult to calculate that since the old abbot received Runzhi's letter with a ribbon, he had already begun to drive away the pilgrims and make a lot of thorough preparations.

  It seems that this abbot is still an old accident, Runzhi thought to himself, and couldn't help but sigh.

  Naturally, I know that this can't be completely blamed on the old abbot of Shaolin Temple Huitong, if you don't show this letter with the official seal, it's just that, since it's shown, the whole Shaolin Temple is not busy, then it's really a hell.

  And it wasn't that he received an official letter with a seal written by the most powerful official in the Central Plains, even if it was just a private letter from a Jiupin county order, not the kind of letter with an official's seal, or even a letter written by himself, it was enough to make the old abbot startled.

  Is there any reason not to do so?

  At this time, the current abbot of Shaolin Temple has been showing people as the 900th single generation abbot of Shaolin Temple, with the law name Huitong, known as Master Huitong

  The monks of the Hui generation were originally not very famous in the Shaolin Temple, and naturally the mage who started with the word "Hui" began to be lower than the monks at the beginning of the other words in the entire Shaolin Temple, and the rules of this generation were completely broken by the former abbot of the Shaolin Temple, Master Huiquan.

  This Master Huiquan can be quite remarkable, how can he be amazing?

  Master Huiquan's common name before he became a monk was Shi Xunlong, the word Shale, was a farmer at the foot of Shaolin Temple Mountain, had his own wife and children, but because he did not control his lust and the woman next door had a three-point posture adultery, and later found out by the family next door, so in a conflict between the two families, the people next door killed Shi Xunlong's father by mistake.

  is the so-called great revenge, killing the father and taking the wife.

  Shi Xunlong was annoyed and angry, and before the county officials from the county seat hundreds of kilometers away came to investigate, driven by hatred, taking advantage of the dark night and high wind, while the people next door were asleep, he killed the whole family with the knife that usually helped people kill pigs, and even the woman who had committed adultery with him did not let go.

  In his opinion, the death of his father had nothing to do with this woman's dismissal.

  At that time, Master Huiquan was still young, only in his twenties, and after killing the family next door, his deeds were revealed, and his whole family was accused of staying in the local area, and could no longer stay, so he moved to other places.

  But the deeds were too big, and the officials in other places were also offering rewards for their own wants, so as a last resort, he hid a knife in his hand and quietly hid in the wardrobe full of monk's robes of his predecessor, the abbot of Shaolin Temple.

  When Master Yuansong came to change clothes, as soon as he opened the wardrobe door, Shi Xunlong put a knife on Yuansong's neck.

  Shi Xunlong threatened Yuan Song, as long as Yuan Song spread the news that he was in the cluster, he would definitely use the incense money of Shaolin Temple to quietly buy good land and houses outside, put usury, secretly raise three wives and concubines everywhere, and spread the news that there were already groups of wives and concubines, otherwise he would kill him, and all his three wives and four concubines and the children they gave birth to would be served in one pot.

  For a desperate and vicious villain, he is already on the verge of despair, so he dares to do anything, such a gangster is the most ruthless of all gangsters.

  In order to survive, these gangsters naturally do everything they can, and dare to do anything.

  In the eyes of these vicious gangsters, the big deal is a dead end in the end, even if you die, you have to pull a cushion.

  This, Master Yuansong naturally knows, after all, it is an old Jianghu, so for Shi Xunlong, it can be said that he responds to his needs, and his heart is already afraid of death and life, the so-called wicked people still need to be grinded by wicked people, Yuan Song, who was still showing off his martial arts in Shaolin Temple before, no longer dared to walk with his chest held up at this moment.

  When Master Yuansong was in Shi Xunlong's neck, he thought that he was in a hurry, and quietly told Shi Xunlong about the treasury of five thousand taels of gold that he hid under the floor, as sincerity, Shi Xunlong temporarily put down the knife in his hand, and the two began to discuss how to hide Shi Xunlong in the temple, how to cover Shi Xunlong's whereabouts and identity, and sent someone to bribe the county magistrate of the county government.

  This magistrate's name is Tan Qiancai, and his magistrate's official position was bought.

  In the Chongzhen era, because the Ming Dynasty was short of money to fight against Li Zicheng's peasant rebel army, some county magistrates were sold to some squires at a certain price, so that a large number of squires became imperial court officials without going through the imperial examination, and this Tan Qiancai was one of them.

  Later, after the Manchu Eight Banners Army entered the customs of this county, this Tan Qiancai immediately cooperated with the state capital to surrender to the Qing Dynasty.

  After the Qing Dynasty entered the Central Plains, Tan Qiancai was in his original position. 、

  When the magistrate of this county has been the county magistrate for decades, relying on deductions and exploiting county officials, corruption, and predators, Tan Qiancai has already owned the best houses and fields in the county.

  In the whole county, as long as this Tan Qiancai heard that the yellow flower girl was beautiful, he immediately found an excuse to send someone to rob it, causing the county to be ruined, a large loss of population, and even taxes could only be extorted by kidnapping some local squires and rich peasants, and a large number of poor people naturally became his slaves and slaves.

  This Tan Qiancai is not so easy to deal with, he has been fighting the idea of Shaolin Temple for a long time, which is exactly what he wants.

  Therefore, Tan Qiancai didn't look at the two thousand taels of gold that Yuansong opened, and finally the two sides set the price at four thousand five hundred taels, that is, the vast majority of the gold that Yuansong hid under the floor.

  It's a pity that this Yuansong has saved private money for decades, and now all of it has become Tan Qiancai's.

  There is no way, Tan Qiancai deliberately sent troops to surround the Shaolin Temple, and it was difficult for the Shaolin Temple to give it or not.

  In this way, this Shi Xunlong is also more rewarding.

  Because after Tan Qiancai accepted 4,500 taels of gold, he promised not to pursue any of his crimes, so he announced it at the gate of the county government on the grounds that he had been exterminated in a certain place on a certain day.

  This big case, even if it is completely solved, Shi Xunlong will naturally no longer be wanted in other places, which makes Master Huiquan simply carried away during that period.

  Originally, according to the regulations of the Shaolin Temple, anyone who killed Rao Fugitive could not enter the Shaolin Temple.

  In order to hide people's eyes, Yuan Song persuaded Shi Xunlong to change his name to Zhang Yangzi, and then selected a good day to be shaved by Master Yuan Song himself.

  In the year of Shaolin Temple, the monks who entered were named the monks of the Hui generation, and he was like this, he was included in the Hui generation as a disciple, and named Hui Quan, this is Master Hui Quan.

  Master Huiquan has been ruthless since he killed someone.

  Since entering the Shaolin Temple, Huiquan has coveted the position of the abbot of the Shaolin Temple.

  In order to achieve this goal, Huiquan quietly killed all the cronies and disciples of Yuan Song

  Although Yuan Song was resentful in his heart, he could only turn a blind eye to the handle in Huiquan's hand, and even asked some people who were suspicious of Huiquan or knew the details of it to keep their mouths, of course, these people were quietly killed by Huiquan one by one in the end.

  This Huiquan has cultivated a large number of cronies in the temple of Nuoda, and they are naturally those who are cruel and kill without seeing blood.

  All of these people are under Huiquan's hands, and all the original Dharma names have been replaced by Hui Zi generation, and then this temple, Hui Zi generation has gradually gained the upper hand.

  After that, Huiquan controlled Yuansong to death, and gradually, Yuansong became a puppet of Huiquan.

  In this way, the Shaolin Temple began to be under the control of Master Huiquan at the practical level, and the number of monks who started with this group of Hui characters became more and more.

  In this way, the bullying incidents of the Hui generation monks against other monks emerged one after another, and the "Hui" generation began to become the most honorable generation in Shaolin Temple.

  These monks who began with the word "wisdom" gathered together and wantonly deceived the people of their incense money.

  In addition, these monks are indispensable, and they openly eat pork, dog meat, beef and mutton in the Shaolin Temple, and even raise prostitutes directly in the Shaolin Temple.
