Chapter 330: Go to the Ancient Temple
Facing Liu Yingying covering her mouth and snickering, Xie Tingyun's face was a little embarrassed, and she lowered her head and was silent.
"I'm just a temporary transport team, there are not many, but there is a lot of dry food."
Liu Yingying took Xie Tingyun's horse and pulled this one into the horse team.
The little guy on the side is also sensible, and he will bring the dry food he carries at any time.
Xie Tingyun ended up desolate now, but he didn't care about anything else, grabbed the pancake and took a big bite.
"Slow down, drink some water, so that your stomach doesn't get bloated for a while."
Liu Yingying gently patted Xie Tingyun's back and said softly.
Xie Tingyun, who was expelled from the family and ended up homeless, couldn't suppress her grievances between Liu Yingying's gentle words at this moment, and hugged Liu Yingying and cried.
"Well, Your Majesty expected that the Xie family would definitely not repent."
"Ordering you to write a letter is just to make you recognize the reality."
"Today's Xie family has long been overwhelmed, how can they see the reality clearly?"
Liu Yingying gently soothed Xie Tingyun's back, and her voice was soft.
"But they shouldn't have expelled me from the family!"
"What's in it for them?"
Xie Tingyun's voice was intermittent, and a complete sentence took more than a dozen breaths.
"The benefits? How can they pay attention to these things, so they are already consumed by their desires? ”
"In their eyes, it is important to preserve the interests of the clan."
"Shall I tell you about my family?"
What Xie Tingyun is experiencing now, Liu Yingying has already experienced.
In this regard, Liu Yingying has a deeper understanding than Xie Tingyun.
Listening to Liu Yingying's story, Xie Tingyun's crying stopped, and she looked up at Liu Yingying who was sitting next to her.
On the other side, the carriage from the capital has entered the boundary of Jizhou.
"Your Majesty, a little further, you will enter the boundary of Jizhou."
Outside the carriage, Grandpa Cao shouted a reminder.
Xu Jing opened the curtain of the car, but saw that the spring light was just right outside, and many farmlands along the way were full of green plants.
And some of the people who were still busy working in the fields finally caught a glimpse of a gorgeous carriage and looked up.
"It's not bad, it seems that the Li family has been operating in Jizhou for many years, and it's not too bad."
Xu Jingjing nodded, very satisfied with the current life of the people in Jizhou.
"Why don't you go down and ask in person?"
"Maybe, what Li Dudu has done is much more than that?"
Cao Gonggong also asked with a smile in the carriage.
"Your Majesty, let the last general go and ask."
Jiang Zhenting rode forward and stopped in front of a farmland.
"Fellow!"
Seeing Jiang Zhenting beckoning, several people raised their heads and walked in the direction of Jiang Zhenting.
"Official, do you want to ask for directions, or do you want to get water?"
The people could see that Jiang Zhenting's clothes were unusual.
Nine times out of ten, they are high-ranking officials who come from somewhere, and their attitude is extremely humble.
"Neither, I just want to ask who this field belongs to?"
Jiang Zhenting waved his hand and said with a light smile.
"This field? Can you see the mountain? ”
The people smiled, and pointed to a Buddhist temple hidden in the clouds and mist, dimly and dimly, but sometimes shining with golden light.
】
"Then there is a Buddhist temple?"
Jiang Zhenting nodded and said.
"That's right! Our fields are under the name of that Buddhist temple. ”
The people nodded and said with a smile.
"Buddhist temple? How do you harvest each year? Raising a family? ”
Jiang Zhenting nodded, his face slightly more warm and angry.
"I can barely feed a few people in my family."
"But if you want to talk about storing food, then there is no more."
"Whether we are dead or alive, it depends on whether God is willing to give us a bite to eat."
The people are happy in suffering, and it seems that the edges and corners have long been smoothed out by suffering.
"How so? Your Majesty has decreed that the tax exemption will be granted for three years! ”
Jiang Zhenting was furious and asked in a low voice.
If it is tax-free for three years, it stands to reason that there will still be some grain in reserve.
Even if there is no talent now, there will be talent next year.
From the mouths of these people, Jiang Zhenting could only hear deep helplessness and anxiety about tomorrow.
"Tax-free? That is His Majesty's kindness, and it has nothing to do with this Buddhist temple. ”
"We, the tenants, have to pay 30% of the grain every year to offset taxes."
The people shook their heads with a wry smile and replied helplessly.
"How so!"
Jiang Zhenting's fists were clenched, and there seemed to be a flame in his eyes.
"Thank you."
After Jiang Zhenting gave up his hand, he walked in the direction of the carriage.
"How? What do the local people say? ”
Jiang Zhenting walked into the carriage, Xu Jing opened his eyes and looked at him and asked.
Jiang Zhenting suppressed his anger and told Xu Jing everything that the local people said.
"Is that true?"
Hearing this kind of thing, Xu Jing's eyes were also full of anger.
These Buddhist temples have long been more than just temples that collect incense.
It's a terrifying Senluo hell that devours human flesh and blood!
"Very good, very good!"
Xu Jing clenched his fists, and his voice was as low as an angry tiger.
Jiang Zhenting was also frightened by Xu Jing's anger and staggered back.
"Diversion!"
"Xu Jing, where are you going?"
Cao Gong sniffed a little bit of blood from Xu Jing's brief words and asked in a low voice.
"Go to the ancient temple! I would like to ask, who gave them the audacity to ignore my commands? ”
Xu Jing clenched his fists and suppressed all the anger in his heart.
At Xu Jing's request, the horse team quickly changed its route and went straight to the high mountain.
In a short time, the carriage arrived at the foot of the mountain.
I heard early that it was a distinguished guest who came this time, and the disciples in the Buddhist temple went down the mountain one step ahead to greet them.
"Distinguished guests, please move to the temple."
A gray-bearded monk with two young disciples stood in front of Xu Jing's carriage and said respectfully.
"Presumptuous! Why don't you kneel when you see Your Majesty? ”
Gonggong Cao's eyes narrowed slightly, staring at the three of them and asking sharply.
"Please forgive your majesty, I don't know!"
When the three of them heard that the person who came was the emperor of the dynasty, they were so frightened that their legs weakened and immediately knelt down.
"Get up, I have something to ask you."
Xu Jing's voice came from inside the carriage.
The three of them staggered to their feet, and in less than a breath they were so frightened that they almost fell to their knees.
I only heard Xu Jing's voice coming out: "I heard that a large area of farmland at the foot of this mountain is owned by ancient temples? ”
"I'm curious, who gave you the courage to still collect taxes within my tax exemption period?"
Xu Jing's last sentence was almost roared, making the three monks pale and their lips trembling.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me!"
The old monk knelt on the ground and didn't dare to make the slightest movement, only dared to shout, and his body trembled uncontrollably.
"What? Are you also guilty? That's knowing the law and breaking the law, and the crime is added to the first degree! ”
Xu Jing walked out of the carriage and stood in front of the three monks with a sneer.
"Your Majesty, this, I ......."
The monk was so frightened that his face was bloodless, and his voice was choked.
For a while, he didn't know how to answer Xu Jing's question, so he could only tremble and lie on the ground.
"What? Don't speak? Is that confession? ”
Xu Jing stood in front of this group of sanctimonious monks with his hands in his hands, and his voice was cold.
A murderous aura hovered over the entire ancient temple, and faintly there were dark clouds in the sky, as if a heavy rain was about to pour down.
