Under the gray sky, hundreds of mule carts surrounded the white land, centered on the wild shop where Chen Jingbang was located.

Chen Jingbang looked at Zhang Maoxiu: "Where will I have these goods!" ”

Zhang Maoxiu smiled: "Don't admit it yet!" ”

As he spoke, Zhang Maoxiu commanded loudly: "Lift the curtain of the car and let him take a look." “

"Yes!"

After a while, Chen Jingbang saw that the monks and nuns who were in charge of his money were all tied to the mule cart along with a cart of silver.

"Over the years, the military salary from the military department will always be two or three percent shorter, but the whereabouts can not be found, and the public military department does not seem to have directly handed it over, but why is it two or three percent shorter when it is transported to the border towns."

"We checked for a long time to find out, it turned out that the prince directly handed over the drifting military salary to some temples halfway!"

"These temples also lend money for the public!"

"Let Gong's income increase year by year, so that Gong himself probably doesn't even know how many silver dollars he has."

"We calculated for the public, and the total is five million six hundred and seventy-nine thousand sixty-four taels of silver dollars!"

"But we didn't rush to attack the public, because we were afraid that in addition to the temple nunnery we found, there would be no other temple nunnery hiding silver dollars for the public."

"Only when the prince wants to leave Beijing, he has to dig up all the silver dollars from the cellars of various temples and nunnery, and bring them back to his hometown, so that he can catch them all."

Zhang Maoxiu patted the snow on his shoulder as he spoke: "In order to keep an eye on the public family, our Jinyi Wei has spent a lot of effort!" There are twenty people who are frostbitten alone! ”

"Zhang Maoxiu!"

Chen Jingbang suddenly pointed and shouted, and then asked, "Why are you two brothers so excessive!" ”

"I haven't been so serious about investigating corruption as you, and before you came, Jinyiwei was not so serious, I have been dismissed, why do you still want to chase after me!"

"Is the country short of five million taels of silver dollars now?!"

Chen Jingbang asked Zhang Maoxiu loudly.

Zhang Maoxiu asked loudly: "Then my father died back then, why do you want to chase after him?!" ”

Chen Jingbang was silent for a long time, and then said: "Lingzun's matter, Shilin is wrong, but you are doing this now, it's really bad!" It's a bad atmosphere! ”

"It's good to have a bad atmosphere."

"We just want to make you afraid, to know what the consequences of not being emotional."

"Only now makes you regret the conspiracy against our Zhang family very much, do you know that you can't do that to the current Shen family!"

Zhang Maoxiu said with a smile, and then ordered: "Take it away!" ”

Chen Jingbang was also detained, and asked, "Is it really good for you to do this?" Obviously, His Majesty has given you justice for the fact that the ancestral grave of your mansion was dug up, and many people in Shilin intended to raid your family and exterminate the clan, and the car has been cracked, and even the first assistant like Zhang Puzhou has been liquidated because of this, why are you not finished? ”

"Yes! When today's son attaches great importance to your Zhang family because of his teacher's affection, but you are not afraid that after thousands of generations, the newly established monarch will be more favored and dissatisfied with the reformed scholars, so they will continue to retaliate against your Zhang family? ”

"Why are you so uncomfortable?"

"Zhao Bulang has already taken the initiative to ask for an official for you, in order to show Shilin's repair, why don't you appreciate it, don't you know that he is with the light?"

Chen Jingbang knew that he had no way out of life now, so he said everything he wanted to say.

He really still hopes that the Zhang brothers can know that compromise and change the way is enough, after all, they themselves are like this.

"The cabinet clears the temple, the brocade clothes guard and the corruption, what's wrong, it's all for the country and the people."

Zhang Maoxiu only asked with a smile.

Chen Jingbang closed his eyes and was speechless.

……

However, the decree of the Qingsa Guan'an Temple is indeed still being implemented, and it has developed from Suncheonfu to the whole country.

Even Jiangnan began to investigate.

"Check it now!"

"I really didn't expect that such a large piece of high-grade polders would be all this Huiyuanan hidden field!"

As he spoke, Li Hualong looked at Miaotong, the abbot of Huiyuan'an, who was escorted, and said: "The key is not enough for tens of thousands of acres of hidden fields, you old nun even cooperated with human traffickers to buy girls to pick up customers, and you can't be sentenced to death!" ”

Miaotong smiled and said: "Do the old parents really don't know or really don't care, I can eat so many hidden fields and dare to buy people from human traffickers, wait, even if I want the head to land, you will follow the head in the future!" ”

Li Hualong also laughed: "It's not your turn to worry about my fate." ”

As he spoke, Li Hualong walked to the edge of the ridge and asked Lu Lizhi, a scholar from a poor family who was in charge of helping the imperial court officials to clear the temple and investigate the monks and nuns in the temple, "How long will it take to clear the zhang?" ”

"It's going to take three days."

"There are still too few people who understand mathematics and science, and students have to teach and clear at the same time, and the other thing is that there are indeed too many fields in this temple."

"Many of our eunuchs can't compare to them."

Lu Lizhi said.

Li Hualong nodded after hearing this, and did not say anything more.

And Lu Lizhi said at this time: "The public knows that Nancheng Longfu Temple occupies more temple fields, and it will have to work hard at that time." ”

"No matter how hard it is, you have to check, since the emperor's order has been issued, what should be returned to the people must be returned to the people!"

Li Hualong said.

"Gong really dared! It's worth it no matter how hard you work for students! ”

After Lu Lizhi said with a smile, he immediately ran to the field and began to measure.

In fact, there are groups that support this policy, and those who support this policy are many common landlords and yeoman farmers.

Because since the temple and the gentry colluded with the gentry and became the trust of the gentry, it has seriously infringed on their interests, so that their rental interests have been backlogged, and they have been forced to bear more taxes and even the land has been encroached upon.

As a result, the scholars from this class were particularly active in assisting the government in cleaning up Buddhist temples.

Especially in Jiangnan, many families are studying, so there are more poor scholars who support the cleaning of Buddhist temples.

And Ying Tiantong, who came with Li Hualong, sentenced Mei Guolou to say to Li Hualong: "Actually, what the old nun said is right, the prince should still think about the consequences." ”

"It's not that serious, no matter how you say it, we are also court officials from Jinshi, and we are only acting on the orders of the emperor, so we will not be in a different place, as long as we don't directly kill the people in Shilin, we won't even be exiled as an army; However, the government that took the initiative in this matter from above may be punished by the head because of the leadership of this matter! ”

"But it's hard to say, after all, Zhang Taiyue didn't die well."

Li Hualong said.

Mei Guolou said: "But if you are not afraid of 10,000, you are afraid of what happens, after all, this is what offends people." ”

"I've thought about what you said, but it's precisely because this is something that offends people, and I'm just ordered to do things, at most I'm dismissed from office, so the more I have this opportunity to curb the merger of the powerful, the more thorough I have to be, and if I can cut off some of the powerful minions, I will cut off more, so as not to have no chance in the future!"

"After all, it's really impossible to say, Shen Xiangguo, who is now presiding over this matter, really gave up because he felt that the resistance was too great, which made this government end abruptly!"

Li Hualong said and instructed Mei Guolou: "That old nun is really a great crime, so many girls have been abused to death, but nothing has happened, it is obviously a minion of a certain powerful gentry, you go back and let the cell make her die violently, lest you really can't kill when you get it, you can't get rid of this scourge!" ”

Mei Guolou nodded: "Okay, this is simple!" You're right, no one knows if the ruling Shin Sang-kook and others will suddenly stop this matter, and it's also a good thing to take advantage of this time to step up and clean up the tigers! ”

So, that night, the old nun of Huiyuan'an died in prison unconsciously.

……

"Does Yuan Fu know how many monks and nuns in the local area died suddenly?"

"The whole people are already panicking!"

Shen Zimu, the imperial history of Yuyang, also mentioned to Shen Shixing the implementation of the policy of cleaning up Buddhist temples on this day, and said: "In addition, because Haigangfeng is in charge of the ministry, the local pro-people officials he selected are obviously deliberately using the public brand to be too strict, so many monks and nuns died violently for a while. ”

"And no one knows how many powerful and wealthy gentry are involved behind these famous monks and nuns, but what is clear is that if this continues, the public is afraid that they will be deeply hated by the world!"

"Especially letting Hai Gangfeng be in charge of the ministry, it will only make the public afraid of Zhang Taiyue's danger."

Shen Shixing said with a smile: "Didn't the Taishi die a good death? ”

"That's just because I respect the way of my teacher."

"Can the prince compare himself to the master?"

Shen Zimu asked.
