"Fangshan Village, east, twelve miles, thirty acres." The tax officer lowered his head and found the record of Fangshan Village in his notebook, compared it to the last person, checked and confirmed it, put it aside, and continued to pick up the next title deed.

"Fangshan Village, East, Thirteen Miles, Fifty Acres."

"Duplicate title deeds!"

As soon as these words came out, the scene was suddenly quiet, and the faces of the host and several monks behind him suddenly changed greatly, and one of them couldn't bear it anymore and shouted, "Nonsense! ”

With the words, he rushed to the two of them like lightning, and reached out to grab the title deed.

As soon as the monk moved, Qi Zonghui's face immediately turned terrified, "A bold fanatic, you dare to attack the official, you can't rebel!" ”

"Come on, take it with me!"

The monk's face darkened, and a trace of panic flashed in his eyes, who didn't let them Shaomu Temple on weekdays, arrogant and domineering, so he subconsciously snatched the title deed back, and it was too late to regret it at this moment.

Before he could say anything, the two personal soldiers around Qi Zonghui stepped up directly and reached out to take the person.

No matter how this monk is, he is also a vein of Shaomu Temple, how can the kung fu be comparable to the two pro-soldiers, and he can't be caught in any case, facing the outstretched hands, the two arms shook outward, and the two pro-soldiers who were suddenly shocked Oh, oh, oh took three steps back.

At this moment, the monk was also a little scared, and swooped back to the host on his tiptoes.

"Bold and fanatical, even dare to resist arrest, the army is surrounded by me!" Qi Zonghui roared, and the two hundred-person teams behind him scattered at once, one hundred-person opponent rushed to the front with steel swords and shields, and the other hundred-person took out strong crossbows from behind.

An army of two hundred marched in a neat march towards a group of monks.

The host's face changed greatly, and he immediately stood up and took a step to call the Buddha's name, "Amitabha, the general, please stop." ”

"Huixing, don't return the title deed yet!"

The monk named Huixing immediately bowed his head and admitted his mistake, and obediently handed back the title deed.

Seeing that the encirclement stopped, the host breathed a sigh of relief, and saw that the crowd was separated by a passage, Qi Zonghui strode over, sneered and looked the host up and down, and then said loudly: "Attacking the official errand and resisting arrest, how can it be enough to return the title deed!" ”

The host frowned, and said in a deep voice: "As the saying goes, put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the ground, knowing your mistakes can improve a lot, Huixing already knows your mistakes, and she will repent in front of the Buddha." ”

"Yes, yes, the poor monk knows that he is wrong, and he will repent in front of the Buddha." Hui Xing also hurriedly bowed his head and admitted his mistake.

"Hmph, haha, hahaha!" Qi Zonghui pouted and laughed loudly: "Put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the ground, knowing your mistakes can improve the greatness, hehe, if everyone is like this, then what is the use of the national law, you wait, where is the national law!" ”

"General ......" The host was about to continue, but was interrupted by Qi Zonghui waving his hand, pointing at the host and saying viciously: "Old monk, hand over the people immediately, otherwise, you will be harboring fugitives, and the army will move and destroy your whole temple!" ”

As he spoke, as soon as Qi Zonghui raised his hand, all the strong crossbows were aimed at the past, each handle was placed at the trigger, and a hundred sword shield soldiers also raised their shields in front of him, ready to charge at any time.

Qi Zonghui's hand was raised high, everyone knew that once his hand fell, then it was a strong crossbow launched, and when the shield soldiers charged, when the time came, a bloody storm was inevitable, and it was okay if these monks did not resist, once they dared to resist, it would be against the army, and it would be no different from rebellion.

At that time, the entire Shaomu family will be implicated.

All this was planned a long time ago, Wang Xuan just wanted to force Shaomu Temple openly and see if they dared to do it!

As long as Wang Xuan was given a sufficient reason in front of the public, Wang Xuan would dare to raise an army of 50,000 in Fujian and slaughter them all in one fell swoop!

At this time, everyone's eyes fell on the host's body, a group of monks looked at the host anxiously, one by one's heartbeat accelerated, they were also anxious, the court is the court, the army is the army, even if they Shaomu Temple no matter how beautiful, they dare not go against the court on the surface.

Even if these people actually listen to Wang Xuan.

"Host!" I couldn't stand this pressure and couldn't help but shout.

"Host!" Hui Xing's head, body, and hands were covered with sweat, he felt that he was going to be finished, if he really fell into the hands of the army, he was afraid that he would die without a place to be buried!

The host was also in a cold sweat, his eyes looked at Qi Zonghui's eyes, in that look, what he saw was Qi Zonghui's hidden killing intent, and in an instant, he understood that he must not resist, if it is really big, they Shaomu Temple really can't afford it.

"I'll pay!" This will he is not a poor monk and a poor monk said, two words spit out, he sighed heavily, as if all his strength had been lost, turned his head to look at Hui Xing, "Hui Xing, master, the master can't keep you, the whole temple and even my Shaomu Fujian lineage, I can't afford to sacrifice." ”

Hui Xing was shocked, his eyes dimmed, he lowered his head and sighed, then looked up at the host and said, "Little monk understands." ”

After speaking, he turned his head and walked towards Qi Zonghui.

The disappointment in Qi Zonghui's eyes flashed, and then disappeared, but this time, it did not escape the eyes of the old host.

Sure enough, this army is deliberately forcing us to wait today.

Qi Zonghui glanced at Hui Xing, and then ignored it, just a bald thief, the lord didn't pay attention to it at all, and he didn't order the army to retreat, just surrounded the other party.

"Continue to check, you must be serious, you will never make mistakes, and you are not allowed to wronged the other party!"

"I'll get it." The five tax collectors continued to check, reading the title deeds while comparing them in their notebooks, and it took more than an hour before they finished checking all the title deeds.

Regardless of whether it is true or false, forty percent of the title deeds are duplicates, and these title deeds were registered when they were verified by the local authorities before.

In addition, 40% of the land deeds are correct, but the specific number of acres does not match the actual measurement, and only 20% of the land deeds are correct.

In fact, these are some habitual means, the forty percent of the repetition, when the official tax is collected, it is said that it is the temple, which can be exempted from taxes, as for the title deed, it is just privately made, it is simply fake, it's just that the anti-counterfeiting means of this era are underground, and they are easily counterfeited.

As for the other forty percent of the numbers that do not match, it is that when the deliberate measurement is measured, two acres become one acre.

Qi Zonghui looked at the host and smiled coldly, "Old monk, how do you explain these duplicate title deeds?" ”

The host of "......" opened his mouth, and he wanted to quibble a few words, but when he looked at Qi Zonghui's eyes, he changed his mind suddenly, and the ghost knew if the other party was waiting for him to quibble, if he gave the other party a handle, he would be arrested if he didn't make trouble.

He didn't dare to think about what would happen after being captured, Wang Xuan was the reincarnation of the devil, and his methods were extremely cruel, he didn't dare to fall into the hands of the other party.

Forget it, money is something outside the body, poor monks are monks, how can they be greedy for money, before, well, it was all to exercise their will, well, that's it, it's just that the income is less, and there is no way to leave more money for his son......

"The poor monk doesn't know where these land deeds come from, I haven't seen them, I don't know!" As soon as the host closed his eyes, he came directly and refused to admit it.

"Haha, in this case, these duplicate title deeds are all run into it by themselves."

"The poor monk doesn't know!"

"This monk temple also has a land deed into essence, hehe."

"The poor monk doesn't know!"

Qi Zonghui frowned, this old monk began to brush up on the scoundrel, really special, "Then how do you explain that the number of acres of land is wrong!?" ”

"The land deeds are all opened by the government, and the poor monks don't know!"

"You!" Qi Zonghui's eyelids jumped angrily, but there was nothing he could do, so he could only snort heavily, "Poor monk, I think you are not poor monks!" ”

The reason why the monks call themselves 'poor monks' means that the monks are poor, but in fact...... The earliest pawnshops and so on were opened by these monks,

In the face of Qi Zonghui's ridicule, the host didn't say a word, as if he was blowing in the breeze, spitting on his face, and the smile on his face resurfaced, looking like a master outside the world, Qi Zonghui's teeth were itching.

He had also read some of the information collected by Ye Chao, and he knew too well how filthy these monks were in private.

Of course, it's not right to say that there are no real monks in the Shaomu Temple, but those are just a small number of people who specialize in studying Buddhism, and the development of Buddhism is so huge, and the credit has nothing to do with these people who study Buddhism.

Of course, this is called a different division of labor, some people are responsible for studying Buddhist scriptures and theories, some people are complex fights, some people are responsible for playing tricks, everyone works together, in order to make Buddhism flourish.

Moreover, cooperating with local big households and some rich peasants to hide acres of land and evade taxes is itself a means of friendship; if it were not for this entanglement of interests, how could Buddhism be deeply rooted in the people and develop rapidly.

In addition, there is no money, no food, how can you give porridge in a disaster year, buy people's hearts, to put it bluntly, whether it is the country or Buddhism, development and growth are inseparable from money.

If you really become a poor monk, then it will be over.

The host put on a look of not knowing anything, Qi Zonghui didn't have much to do, thinking that Wang Xuan had explained before, if there is no enough reason, don't force too much, Qi Zonghui took a deep breath and said: "Since this is the case, then quickly hand over to the government and redefine the land deed." ”‘

After speaking, Qi Zonghui gave an order, and the army directly put away their weapons and turned around and left.

As for the handling of things after that, it has nothing to do with him, naturally Wang Xuan has an idea, and he will talk about it when he needs it.

Seeing the army lined up neatly, and the five hundred people slowly walked away with neat steps, the host breathed a heavy sigh of relief, and the solidified air seemed to flow again with the retreat of the army.

A gust of wind blew past the host, and he felt a cold behind him, and his entire back was wet with sweat, but he didn't realize it before.
