The abbot of Qingding didn't expect Jin Shan to come with troops, he had a premonition that something big would happen, but looking at Jin Shan's smiling face, it didn't look like he was trying to arrest people, but like he was here to maintain order.

The abbot of Qingding secretly proudly, after this Buddha statue ceremony, he sent a boat, went down the Han River, and then to Hankou, to the Yangtze River, and went directly to the Daxiangguo Temple in the capital, this place is a prosperous area, the incense is vigorous, with the Buddha statue, it is even more prosperous.

After Jin Shan presided over the grand ceremony, the order was issued, and the ship was about to set off for the capital.

Jin Shan walked to the front, looked at the statue of the god, looked at it for a long time, did not see the moving position, he carefully inspected, the masses were puzzled, especially the abbot of Qingding, he was even more puzzled, his heart was in a hurry, he wished to set off quickly before he could rest assured, who knew that the more anxious, the more immobile. It seems that he is using his brain to find a way.

Jin Shan suddenly turned around and shouted at everyone: "This Buddha statue is not good, it is not that the Buddha statue is not good, it is that the craftsmanship of the plastic worker is not good, it is extremely rough, and it can't be handled!" If this Buddha statue is transported to the capital, I am afraid that it will damage the reputation of Laohekou County! What do you think should be done? ”

As soon as the words fell, the audience was in an uproar, and suddenly quieted down, only to hear the whirring wind blowing in the ears, and the river slapping on the shore rolled up layers of white clouds.

Everyone suddenly quieted down, Jin Shan didn't say a word, and he didn't see the face of the abbot clearly, here he has the final say, an abbot has no power. Jin Shan pulled out his sword, and everyone was so frightened that they took two steps back, was this going to kill someone or what?

Jin Shan raised the sword, slashed and slashed at the Buddha statue with force, sending out sparks, a few swords went down, the Buddha statue did not move at all, only to see the sword marks on the Buddha statue one by one, but never saw the soil and slag fall to the ground, but more and more golden shining, and even fine gold dust flying.

When everyone saw that the gold dust could still shine in the sun, it clearly told everyone the fact that the Buddha statue was not made of clay, but made of gold powder, not a clay gold body, but a real gold body.

Jin Shan saw the abbot of Qingding slumped on the chair, but the Zen staff was put aside, he immediately got a thousand, an arrow step, and got the Zen staff, the abbot of Qingding was just about to take it back, but not as fast as Jin Shan, failed, Jin Shan took the Zen staff, touched the head of the cane, and then made a great effort, removed the head of the cane, and it turned out to be hollow.

Jin Shan shouted to the abbot of Qingding: "You Zen staff, there is such a mechanism!" How do you explain that? Other people's Zen sticks are solid, yours is hollow, what the hell is going on? If you have something to say, you can say it here, and if you don't want to say it here, you can go to the county government with your official to say it. ”

"Let's go to the county government and talk about it!" Abbot Qingding said after looking at the crowd around him.

"Okay, come on, bring the abbot of Qingding to the county office, take care of it, don't let him run away." Jin Shan commanded.

"Don't be ashamed of the old man, look at the old man, the Zen staff has been confiscated by you, my lord, how do you want the old man to escape? It is necessary to pay attention to this golden Buddha, and not let people fish in troubled waters and steal it. Abbot Qingding said.

"You can't protect yourself, and you still worry about the Golden Buddha? Take care of yourself first. Jin Shan said.

Taken to the county office, Jin Shan began to interrogate the abbot of Qingding.

"Qingding, you are in front of the Green Lantern Ancient Buddha, your heart is in the prosperous world, your heart is in love with red dust, you are greedy and immortal, and your desire is too great, say, how did you start your criminal career?" Jin Shan asked.

"My lord, I like gold, in Taishan Temple, I feel that life is meaningless, I have to do something else, I am afraid of hardship, I am still vulgar and have no capital to do business, and being an official is not a way out, so I thought of using my current identity to smuggle gold, which can make a profit. So Lao Qu got in touch with foreigners, and then began to get in touch with foreigners. After they smuggled in the gold, it was simply processed and handed over to the consignee. The purity of the gold is fine. The old man liked it very much. The abbot of Qingding said.

"How?" Jin Shan asked, and as soon as he asked, the means of committing the crime immediately appeared in his head.

"It's just for them to process the gold into one by one, about the same size and thickness as a Zen staff, and they can fit it into the Zen staff. It is required to do so, otherwise, money will not be given. In order to get money, they have to do it. The abbot of Qingding said.

"How is that traded? How did you get to Taishan Temple? Jin Shan asked.

"It is this time to settle the last money, so that you are not afraid of being deceived, this time to deliver gold bars, do not settle the bill, and settle the bill only the last payment, so as to ensure the safety and smoothness of the transaction. When you ask your cronies to go to the North Ferry to buy grain and vegetables, they will go by the way to get the gold bars, put the gold bars into the Zen stick, and then bring the Zen stick back. When he got the staff, he took out the gold bars from it, melted the gold bars, and cast them into a golden Buddha. The abbot of Qingding said.

"Where are you going to transport the Golden Buddha?" Jin Shan asked.

"Transported into town. It's not Daxiangguo Temple, but to find a better buyer, saying that sending it to Daxiangguo Temple is to pull tiger skin to make a big banner, but it's actually bluffing. The abbot of Qingding said.

"How did Shunyo die?" Jin Shan asked.

"Shunyo? Which one is smooth? ”

"It's the painter."

"Oh, him? The old man didn't know that it was arranged by the people below. Qingding said.

"Underneath? Who are they? ”

"It's the old man's apprentice."

"What's it called?"

"It's called righteousness."

"Monk Yijing. What did he do? Jin Shan asked.

"I'll have to ask him about this." Abbot Qingding said.

"No need to ask, what do you arrange him to do? He's just your tool. Jin Shan said.

"The old man asked him to remove obstacles."

"What obstacle?"

"It's just that someone is starting to influence the implementation of Lao Gao's plan."

"What's the plan?"

"It is to make a golden Buddha, bring it to the capital, find a good home and sell it, make a small fortune, return the vulgar, and marry ten or eight wives." Abbot Qingding said.

When Jin Shan heard this, he felt very ridiculous, people who were half cut into the ground, and still wanted to please his wife, this person has a really big heart! I thought I could live a long life!

"It turned out that I wanted to return the vulgar, and if I returned the vulgar, I would return the vulgar, how could I think of making a golden Buddha and selling it and then returning it to the vulgar?" Jin Shan asked.

"After being a monk all his life, he didn't pay a penny, wouldn't he be wronged? While you still have the power, get some money, and it will definitely cost you money to marry a wife, and the old man is already old and decayed, and he can't marry a wife without money. Only by embezzlement to get some money, and afraid that others would see it, they took this opportunity to make a golden Buddha, and then transported it to the capital to sell it for cash, and with money, there are women. If you don't have money, you hate ghosts, and you don't pay attention to them. The abbot of Qingding said.

"You have a point, but how do you remove obstacles? What are the obstacles? ”

"It's a good thing that the former county ordered Li Wang to spoil Lao Wei."

"Isn't he dead? How can a dead person spoil your good deeds? Jin Shan asked.

"Of course, if he dies, he can't spoil Lao Gu's good deeds, the problem is that when he was alive, he found clues to smuggle gold, and began to arrange for the arrest to be made in Mingcha, and it was the apprentice Yijing who told Lao Ge." Abbot Qingding said.

"What did he find?" Jin Shan asked.

"He found out that the catcher was ambushing at the docks, observing the transactions made by Yijing's docks. The praying mantis catches the cicada and the yellow finch is behind, and what is not clear is that the old man has arranged for someone to observe the dock trading and the surrounding situation from a distance. When the old man learned that he was secretly observing the catch, he wanted to start, but he was afraid of startling the snake, so the old man asked Yijing to pretend not to know and come back to discuss again. The abbot of Qingding said.

"What do you do when you come back?" Jin Shan asked.

"After coming back, I began to arrange, if you want to prevent the arrest from coming to investigate, shoot people and horses first, capture thieves and capture the king first, and get rid of Li County, if you want to get rid of him, you must first consider how to get rid of it to be safe. If you think about it, it's better to go to the scene and have a look. So the old man went to the county government to have a look. The abbot of Qingding said.

"Did you go?"

"Go. The old man went with a Zen stick, and if he didn't get into the tiger's den, he had to go to see what was going on. Sure enough, seeing that although the county government was dilapidated, it was very strong, easy to defend and difficult to attack, it was a good place, and it needed to be repaired. He said that there was no money, and the old man put it forward, saying that the temple has some materials left over for maintenance, and it is not good to put it in the temple for a long time, so it is better to use it to repair the county government, he did not agree at first, and later, the old man said that those materials should be used, and they should not be returned, and the merchant will not want it because he saw that he opened the package. If you can't return the goods, you can't cash them out, so it's better to do something good and take it, but the Qingshui Yamen has no money to pay the wages, and the old man is also willing to pay labor expenses to repair the house that will be corrupted. The abbot of Qingding said.

"Then did the Li County Order agree?"

"Yes, and then he agreed. Decided to accept the gift. ”

"He accepted the gift, and it seems to be your lie. Where do you get the money to renovate the temple? Besides, Taishan Temple has only been renovated, why should it be repaired again, this is obviously unreliable, you can tell the truth! ”

"Yes, Lao Wei lied, in fact, the purpose is not to make the county government look new, but to find an opportunity to get rid of the Li County Order. Lao Wei borrowed the temple to have extra materials to help him, only in this way did Li Xianling relax his vigilance, if he bought everything new, I am afraid that he would ruin the reputation of Li Xianling's life. polluted his good reputation, he would rather not, then, Lao Ke's plan will be in vain, in order to achieve the goal, Lao Gao weaved this lie, unexpectedly, he really believed it, as long as he believed it, the next thing will be easy to do, Lao Qu will arrange the next step. Abbot Qingding said.

"So what's next?" Jin Shan asked.

"It is to arrange for Yijing's apprentices to find painters, that is, to help Li Xianling replace purlins and beams, and then need paint for protection. The lacquer worker found by the Yijing monk was actually an orphan, only grandparents, no siblings, and no parents, and if there was a dispute, there would be no one to help. Lao Wei needed such a person, so he arranged for Yijing to send him to do the paint work, gave him a lot of money, and then properly arranged for his grandparents to eat and live well, and moved the painter, what is it called? Oh, yes, it's called Shunyo, and the old man promised to finish the job and give him a settling-in fee. Because he hasn't married a wife yet, a young man, if he doesn't marry a wife, I'm afraid that he will have no queen, he is an orphan, and he needs to marry a wife and have children, his grandparents are already old, and he hopes that it is only on him, he feels justified, so he accepts the job. The abbot of Qingding said.

"What kind of work did you take?"

"It's to dig a hole in front of the table teapot, hide the arsenic, and seal the hole with wax. This work is what poisoning means. The abbot of Qingding said.

"It seems that you have confessed!"

"Yes, my lord, the old man is old, and he likes women all his life, and now the adults have confiscated the old man's life savings, and there is no way to marry a woman. The pain is unbearable! The abbot of Qingding said.

"Lao Gao asked the Yijing monk to arrange a painter, the one called, called, called Shunyo, after doing these things, and then gave him a sum of money, let him go away, he was reluctant to let his elderly grandparents go, so he didn't leave, Lao Gao thought to himself, anyway, they are all people who are leaving, he doesn't leave, there should be no problem. No one can know this method, and it will never be exposed, and the old man has this mentality, so he is much more relieved. Until the adults went to Taishan Temple to find Lao Gao, Lao Gao still didn't understand the purpose of beating people to Taishan Temple. The abbot of Qingding said.

"You went to the county government to see Li County Ling, did he ask your Zen staff?" Jin Shan asked.

He didn't ask, just stared at the staff for a while, and guessed that he had already guessed something. The old man told him that his legs and feet were inconvenient, and this Zen stick could be used as a crutch, which was very convenient and effortless to go anywhere. The abbot of Qingding said.

"So, is the Zen staff generally hollow or solid?"

"It is generally solid, and this Zen staff is specially made by Lao Qu to facilitate the smuggling of gold. I didn't expect the adults to discover the secret so quickly. The abbot of Qingding said.

"This was not discovered by this official, if you want to say that the merit should belong to the Li County Order." Jin Shan said.

As soon as he heard this, the abbot of Qingding trembled a little, and he was extremely scared! My whole body trembled! When he saw it, he stepped forward with an arrow and pinched his person, and soon he calmed down, breathed a long sigh of relief, and before he could speak, he said: "My lord, the old monk has heart failure, and he will die soon. ”

Hearing this, it pierced people's hearts.

However, if he commits many injustices, he will kill himself, and even death is worth it, because what he has done is enough to die a dozen times.

"Qingding, you said, you poisoned Li Xianling, are you not guilty at all? How does the Li County Order treat you? Jin Shan asked.

"Tell the adults, the old man is not guilty, people die for money, birds die for food, the old man is a fan of money, he always feels that money is closer than people, with money, you can achieve a lot of goals, without money, you can't do anything. Li Xianling doesn't love money, and this world is incompatible, living is also a pain, the old man doesn't love the temple, he doesn't want to spend the rest of his life guarding the green lantern ancient Buddha, the previous road is wrong, and now he has woken up and found that the Buddha is all empty, and nothing real happens. Instead of waiting for retribution in the next life, it is better to seize the time now, have fun in time, and overcome it quickly, there are people out there who are in pain, and we are also there, but we must have faith that sooner or later we will get better. The old man knew that there would be such a day, but he was afraid that he couldn't wait, so the old man wanted to end everything as soon as possible. Abbot Qingding said.
