Chapter 50: Robbery

There was a big case at the foot of the Jokhang Temple, and the abbot of the temple discussed with the elders and deacons and decided to close the temple immediately, but they didn't expect the two protagonists, An Huajin and Gu Qingyan, to come instead.

They didn't know what the two of them were doing, so they were a little worried and carefully invited the two into the mountain gate.

An Huajin looked at a group of monks trembling, and said deliberately, "I and the Seventh Prince took a sneaky little monk at the foot of the mountain, the little monk is called Forget Suo, I don't know if it's from the Jokhang Temple?" ”

The abbot's face changed, and he said in shock, "Forget Suo is the person from the dining room of our temple. ”

"That's it, he's probably complicit in the man who wants to poison me." An Huajin said that such a big thing is like saying that the weather is really good today, "Before the people from the Criminal Department and Dali Temple come, I will come to have a fast meal first, so that when you are questioned, I will not be able to eat this fast." ”

The abbot's body shook and he lost his voice for a moment.

An elder said with a white face, "The little county lord and the seventh prince forgive their sins, and the poor monks and others don't know what is going on with Na Wangshuo, he has done such evil things alone, and it has nothing to do with our ......temple" He wanted to say that it had nothing to do with it, but suddenly stopped, feeling that he couldn't say it.

The monk who went out of the Jokhang Temple made an accident, can the Jokhang Temple be said to be irrelevant?

No!

An Huajin smiled, "If it is really done by him alone, there are no accomplices in the Jokhang Temple, Your Majesty Shengming, naturally only disposed of him." If you all have a clear conscience, you can be calm, what are you afraid of? Gu Qigongzi and I are here to eat, and we don't eat people. ”

Support Wen Yan's face still did not relax at all, there are hundreds of people in the Jokhang Temple, and he really doesn't dare to guarantee that there are no accomplices. The little county lord said that he didn't eat people, but they didn't dare to be too naΓ―ve.

He couldn't hold it anymore and asked the dining room to prepare the meal.

An Huajin looked at this temple, it is worthy of being the largest temple in the capital, even the queen mother and her queen aunt have come to pray for blessings, the concubine Cheng in the palace is said to live here for most of the year, not to mention the incense is prosperous, the carved gallery and painting building look very magnificent.

In a word, the rich are very.

Nanyang's military salary is not very generous this year, I don't know if I can take this opportunity to knock on a sum?

The abbot, the elders, and the deacons welcomed the two to the dining room, and after serving the tea, An Huajin picked it up and smelled it, because of Fang Cai's temporary intention, he privately thought that the idea was good, so he immediately implemented it firmly at this time, "Good tea, spring before the rain, better than the tea that my grandfather drank." ”

The abbot's face changed color again, and he hurriedly said, "This is the beginning of this year, and Concubine Cheng in the palace rewarded a box. ”

"Concubine Cheng, I know, believe in Buddhism, Your Majesty specially built a Buddhist hall for her in the palace." An Huajin turned to Gu Qingyan, "How many boxes of spring before the rain are there this year?" Concubine Cheng rewarded a box in the Jokhang Temple, what a big hand, did His Majesty give Concubine Cheng a lot? ”

Gu Qingyan said softly, "If I remember correctly, there are a total of ten boxes of imperial offerings in the spring before the rain, and His Majesty kept one box for himself, and rewarded the queen with a box, Concubine Cheng with a box, the eldest princess with a box, the Shu Guifei with a box, the virtuous concubine with a box, the Hui concubine with a box, the De Concubine with a box, the Rou Concubine with a box, and the beauty of a box." ”

"Tsk, Concubine Cheng didn't drink it herself, and she was rewarded to the Jokhang Temple, and the concubine really loves the Jokhang Temple." Anhua Jin sighed.

Cold sweat broke out on the abbot's forehead, "Concubine...... Dedicated to the Buddha, is very fond of our temple. ”

An Huajin smiled, "It's good to be to the Buddha, and I am also to the Buddha." When I was in Nanyang, I would go to the Buddhist temple if I had nothing to do, but the Buddhist temple in Nanyang did not have the solemn style of the Jokhang Temple, and I was very poor. ”

The abbot didn't know how to answer, and regretted in his heart that he shouldn't have used the spring before the rain to entertain this little aunt and grandmother, which was eye-catching.

It's a pity that it's too late to regret it.

An Huajin also said, "The Nanyang army can't drink tea, the soldiers all drink boiled water, and the military salary given by the imperial court every year is only enough for the Nanyang army to eat for half a year, and Nanyang needs to tighten his belt and squeeze it for the other half a year." My grandfather usually drank tea foam, thinking about the dignified Nanyang King, who had not yet lived a fairy life with an abbot master. ”

The abbot's face turned whiter, he was suffocated, and he couldn't speak.

What do you want him to say? Said that the old Nanyang King was really hard? Say that the soldiers in the Nanyang Army are really hard? Grandpa Heaven and Earth, what does this have to do with him as a monk!

"What did your grandfather drink?" An Huajin asked Gu Qingyan again.

Gu Qingyan moved, his eyes moved slightly, and he said calmly, "Every year, my grandfather can also get His Majesty to reward a box of imperial offerings in the spring before the rain, but this year, the tea gardens in the south have caused insect infestation, and the output in the spring before the rain is very small, only ten boxes of tribute come up, Your Majesty will give it to the ladies in the palace, and there will be no excess left, although it will not drink tea foam, but it will only drink ordinary tea." ”

The abbot couldn't sit still for a while, the old Nanyang King was far away from the Tiangao Emperor and couldn't get a reward, but he got a box of Yuqianchun that the old man Gu couldn't drink. Isn't this about going to heaven? In a short time, he sweated his monk's robe.

"Jokhang Temple has been full of incense over the years, it's quite rich, right?" An Huajin stared at the abbot, and after foreplaying, he went directly to the topic, "Isn't Buddhism a universal sentient being?" Isn't it time to do more good things for all living beings? Nanyang's military salary is tight this year, if the abbot is loose at hand, it is better to donate some to the army, this tea, since it is rewarded by the concubine, that is, the concubine thinks it is worth rewarding, you should drink it, I and the seventh prince are not people with many mouths, and they will not say it outside. ”

The abbot tilted his body and almost fell to the ground.

Buddhism has always waited for donors and pilgrims to donate incense money, and this is the first time someone has asked him to donate money.

"As far as I know, the Jokhang Temple has a great reputation, and His Majesty has given him thousands of acres of fertile land, and his annual income is quite a lot, which is more than the food of me, the county lord. The concubine is rewarded even in the spring before the rain, and the gold and silver things must be a big reward every year, and there are countless ladies and ladies from various provinces in Beijing who come to incense on the fifteenth day of the new year. This year's income will not catch up with the tax revenue of the state treasury. ”

The abbot finally spoke, and said in horror, "The little lord is serious, serious. ”

An Huajin didn't look at him, and deliberately asked Gu Qingyan, "Huai'an, do you know how much Jokhang Temple benefits in a year?" ”

The first time Gu Qingyan heard her shouting his words, he felt that it was very pleasant, his voice unconsciously softened, and he cooperated with her to say, "As far as I know, the Jokhang Temple earns about 50,000 taels of gold every year. ”

When the abbot heard this, his body shook, and the bodies of the elders and deacons also trembled.

"One tael of gold is equal to ten taels of silver. Fifty thousand taels of gold is five hundred thousand taels of silver. An Huajin said quietly, "Jokhang Temple is really rich, does Your Majesty know?" ”

Your Majesty naturally doesn't know!

The abbot vomited blood in his heart, but he could not speak. I was shocked that Gu Qigongzi actually knew that the Jokhang Temple earned 50,000 gold every year, which was really an accurate figure.

"There are hundreds of people in your temple, and if you eat and drink a year, you can spend tens of thousands of taels of silver at most." An Huajin sat solemnly for a while, and then he was crooked, half lying on the table, and asked Gu Qingyan, "I'm not familiar with Beijing, and I'm not familiar with Jokhang Temple, Huai'an, you say, Jokhang Temple is so rich, how much should I donate to the Nanyang Army?" You give the abbot a number, lest the abbot accumulate too much money over the years and he doesn't know it. ”

Gu Qingyan knocked on the table, and under the abbot's unbearable face, he said warmly, "The previous one, as far as I know, in the past ten years, the Jokhang Temple has benefited 50,000 gold every year, if they are all donated, Nanyang can't afford it, so donate it for five years, and donate it to the treasury for the other five years, Your Majesty will also be happy." ”

"Good! Listen to you. "Anhua Jin is the final word.

As she spoke, the abbot finally lived up to his expectations and planted it on the ground.

The elders and deacons also fell into disarray.

Brigand!

Where is this famous son? It's just a bandit! Everyone in the world mistook Gu Qigongzi.
