0144 I don't have to worry about it
Pushan Temple is not a famous temple in the north, just an ordinary temple in Luochuan County, because there are believers in the surrounding counties and townships, and it is also very nourishing.
The sloping buildings that Li Tai had seen before were only a part of this temple, and the large area of mountains and forests around the temple belonged to the property of this temple.
When Li Tai arrived here with his troops, the township regiment stationed at the foot of the mountain had already withdrawn, and only 100 county soldiers patrolled and watched on the left side.
"It's a shame that the lowly mission has not been completed, and I have to work hard to lead the people to rescue!" In front of the temple on the hillside, Mao Shijian, who looked haggard, came out with a few subordinates to greet him, and when he saw Li Tai, he bowed his head and said with a look of shame.
"It's good that people are okay." Li Tai replied casually, and asked as he walked to the temple, "What is the situation here?" ”
Because the monks blocked the retreat of the pontoon bridge, they had no choice but to lead the people to escape here. The temple is set up in danger, and the storage is abundant, and there is also a secret desire for revenge. When entering the temple, because the monks resisted, they killed and injured more than a dozen people. Not long after settling down, some monks crossed the wall to attract the township group and slave households to attack, and they lost several members in the night battle, and they were all killed under the anger of their humble duties...... Mao Shijian didn't dare to hide it, and bowed his head and said.
"Kill them all? How many people were killed? Li Tai was also taken aback when he heard this, and asked with a pause.
"Thirty-two ordained Shamen, more than 20 temple slaves Ding Zhuang. In addition to other scattered, about 70 people ...... "Mao Shijian lowered his head even deeper, and led Li Tai directly into a Buddhist hall with closed windows, in addition to the enshrined sculptures, there were corpses.
Seeing this, Li Tai couldn't help but gasp, and his brows furrowed deeply. Mao Shijian knelt at his feet and said in a deep voice: "I knew that the killing was heavy, but at that time, in order to survive, I didn't have time to think about it. In addition to the evil cults in this temple, there are many believers and slaves who are imprisoned here, and they have not done harm in their humble duties. They were enslaved by this monk, some of them were detained because they owed the temple goods on credit, and some of them were enslaved because of their skills, and they were not Shaman believers. After the evil monks in the temple were killed, they not only did not complain, but also cooperated with the guards. If it weren't for the assistance of these temple slaves, it would be difficult for the lowly rank to defend it so far, and wait until they came to save the ......" He saw that Li Tai was still silent, and took out a volume of documents and presented it: "This volume records the affairs of this temple lending money and extorting from the village, which is the evidence of the monks abusing the people here. The presiding monk named Guangshan here, once lived in Chang'an, had many contacts with the powerful families in Beijing, and even participated in the forbidden Chinese puja, if he was not killed, I am afraid that he would enter Beijing to frame, and disturb the affairs of the capital water department. The evil monk is dead, and there is conclusive evidence of guilt, so that the future trouble can be minimized. Li Tai took the account book and looked through it slightly, and his eyebrows were secretly raised.
He knew that Shamen was rich, but after seeing the material entry and exit data recorded in the account books, he couldn't help but sigh that these monks were really rich.
He had scavenged the Lei Manor before, and he was quite satisfied with the harvest, and felt that he had made a windfall.
But compared with the entry and exit of this temple's industrial materials, the previous harvest was suddenly dwarfed. is such an ordinary temple with little reputation, and there are thousands or thousands of grains and silks, which makes people surprised when they look at it.
There are more than 300 monk households to which the temple belongs, which is not a big number, but according to what Yang Shao said before, some county households in the north cannot reach this number.
If one household and five people count, this is more than 1,500 temple slaves! The temple has its own pastoral industry, coupled with the selfless dedication of the believers of the rich and poor villagers in the surrounding area, the savings of thousands of silk horses and ten thousand stone valleys are really commonplace.
Li Tai glanced down at Mao Shijian, who was still kneeling on the ground and pleading guilty, and said, "More than seventy monks and temple slaves, your courage is really not small!" If you kill monks and destroy the Dharma like this, you are not afraid of the Buddha's wrath and condemnation? ”
"I am not a stupid believer in the village, but I have seen with my own eyes how these evil monks kidnap the villagers, even if there is no life and death crisis, they will never deal with such thieves who are foolish in the law! If the Buddha is really spiritual, he should condemn these Buddha filths, not punish the justice of the world! Since the lowly duty has been done, there is no fear of the condemnation of the gods and Buddhas, so the human power disturbance that breeds is also undertaken by the lowly duty, and the colleagues who are engaged in the Gongdushui will not be implicated. Mao Shijian said again after hearing this.
"There are more than seventy lives, and there is also a famous moral mage in Jingyi, how are you going to bear it?" Li Tai sneered again after hearing this.
"The lowly incumbent plans to ask for resignation first, and bring this evidence to Taiwan to file a lawsuit. Although my family is not a giant family of the right family, it is also a wealthy family in Guanxi, and I ask for a joint concert of the hometown and the old family......" When Li Tai heard this, he raised his hand to interrupt Mao Shijian's words, and said unceremoniously: "Killing monks and destroying the temple is already a crime. If you collude with the villagers to preach the ugliness of Shamen, you will definitely die, and you will also affect the villagers of the clan. Do you know that there are many letters in this door? Are these all foolishness, only you are innocent and wise? It is good to keep your heart, but if you don't measure yourself, you are more stupid than those Shamen fools, and you will only harm others and yourself! When Mao Shijian heard this, his face turned gloomy again, and it was precisely because he was worried about this festival that he did not dare to leave the temple easily and let the county government take over.
What Fang Cai said was already a method that he had considered a lot and felt that it was still thoughtful, but after being denied by Li Tai, he couldn't help but feel afraid of hesitation.
Li Tai saw Mao Shijian's melancholy hesitation, and pointed at him and said: "Get up, remember the mood of the moment, you need to think twice about things in the future!" There won't be too many people in this world who indulge in your rash and recklessness, and since I have unfortunately served as your commander, it is not your turn to worry about the subsequent troubles! ”
"Engaged, I...... Although I don't regret what I did, I also know that it is not easy to cover up this matter, and I have very little help since I joined the department, and it is already difficult to do it, if I can teach me words, I will be grateful, and I really don't have to take care of it......" Mao Shijian still refused to get up, and continued to bow his head and said.
"It is certainly your sin to help very little. But if I can't save this nuisance on the way, what face will I have? It's hard, but no one can't do it. You wait, but while you are in your duties, the rest don't have to worry. Li Tai replied again, not to deliberately buy people's hearts, but to feel that this was his obligation.
If the boss doesn't even have the responsibility and ability to wipe the butts of his subordinates, then he's still a fart! Although Li Tai didn't say how to solve this matter, hearing his statement, Mao Shijian's heart was also greatly frightened, and he paused and said: "No matter what the situation is in the future, but I have to do this, and I feel this kindness, and I must be engaged in the work of serving dogs and horses!" After hearing this, Li Tai nodded, and then asked, "How many slaves are left in this temple?" See how much is left in the temple? ”
"There are still more than 130 slaves in the temple, all of whom are not monks and households, but slaves taken from all over the world. There are more than 2,000 horses of cloth in the temple, more than 5,000 stones of rice and flour and miscellaneous grains, and the rest are scattered in the surrounding temple manors. There are also gold, silver and bronze utensils and other ......" After listening to Mao Shijian's introduction, Li Tai was in a good mood again, and his eyes when he looked at Mao Shijian became cordial.
He has seen a lot of people who are respectful on the surface of Buddhism and disdainful in their hearts, but it is rare to do something like this.
Even if Li Tai already had an idea in his heart, he didn't have time to do it, but he didn't expect to be preempted by this kid.
Although he said that he was playing a package ticket, what to do next, in fact, he was a little unsure in his heart, so he first ordered his subordinates to do what they had to do.
The bodies of these monks were burned and the possessions of the temples were sorted and packed. Seeing his subordinates busy in the temple, Li Tai sat in front of the temple hall and thought about it.
Although he was not soft when he killed the Lei clan's townspeople, he did not dare to openly loot and slaughter the temple. Because the killing of the townsman is nothing more than the pros and cons, but the temple involves religious beliefs, ideologies and other issues, and it is not a simple trade-off of pros and cons that can be solved by logical thinking.
Although this Pushan Temple is not a famous temple, it also belongs to a member of the Kansai Shamen after all, and there is no one left from the host to the killing of the little novice, which is really a bit tragic.
Even if Li Tai can provide a logical and meticulous chain of incriminating evidence, whether the public can accept it and whether they are willing to accept it is another question.
What the public can accept the fastest is the labeled and slogan-based information, and the audience of a meme is far higher than that of a logical paper.
This has nothing to do with Minzhi, it's just that I don't need to know that much about it. The sins of those monks have nothing to do with me, but you kill the monks and destroy the temple, it sounds terrifying.
If you don't worship gods and Buddhas, what kind of mad person does you have to do it? Is the evidence presented by such a person credible?
If he can't gain understanding and recognition in public opinion, even if he can say that he can move Yuwentai to help him cover up this matter, it will not be conducive to his in-depth development in Kansai.
Is it really safe to be a lonely minister and be a little money expert for Yuwentai? The more Li Tai thought about it, the more he felt a headache, so he simply stood up and walked into the Buddhist hall to look at the shapes of the enshrined Buddha statues and open up his ideas.
After a little scrutiny, he noticed that one of the Buddha statues had a special shape, so he casually asked, "What is the name of this Buddha statue?" How is it different from the others? One of them stepped forward to make a little identification and said: "This name Liu Shifo is a great monk ...... more than 100 years ago" Li Tai walked into the past and found that the Buddha statue was written in front of the small biography of this Buddha statue.
It turns out that the name of this Liu Shi Buddha is Liu Sahe, a person from the stone in this and state, and he is a senior monk in the Wuhu Chaos period, and his person is not a Han race, but a Southern Xiongnu, that is, a Jihu person.
Liu Sahe was ordained in the south of the Yangtze River, and later returned to the north to preach the Dharma, so he had a lot of influence in his native prefectures and northern Shaanxi prefectures.
In particular, its clan belongs to the Jihu people, and they worship it even more. After learning this, Li Tai's eyes suddenly lit up: if he said that the overall destruction of the temple and the destruction of the Buddha, he dared to say that Yuwentai would not dare to listen to it, but if one of the specific beliefs was marked as an outlier, then the resistance would be much smaller.
Ji Hu plundered in the north, and harmed more than one party, since you, Master Liu, have profound Buddhism, why don't you teach those races to put down the butcher's knife?
