"Generals, officials! What do you mean by that? This place is a quiet place for Buddhism, how can you see this sword soldier! Ladies and gentlemen, if you come to the temple to burn incense and worship the Buddha, you don't need to"

"Bainyima's size! Come on, all the monks in the whole temple are under control! Those who fled and resisted were all killed on the spot. ”

"Remember, don't hurt pilgrims!"

"Order!"

"What?"

Outside a mountain temple not far from Hengyang City, King Zhou's personal guards suddenly arrived.

And after these people came outside the temple, the people passing by stopped and watched one by one when they saw the spears and short knives in their hands, instead of the slightest look of horror.

Since Zhu Hu came to Hengyang City, in Hengyang City, the image of the Ming Dynasty can be said to have been raised to a new height by him in a short period of time.

The people of the Ming court do not hurt the innocent, do not arrest the law-abiding, and do not harm the innocent people!

Under these three nos, the imperial court is in Hengyang City, which can be said to be very loved by the people.

And it is precisely because of this that when they saw the army coming, those pilgrims and believers who had planned to leave deliberately stopped and stayed at this time.

Not for anything else, just to see the excitement.

In their current understanding, as long as they obey the law, then these armor will not harm them.

On the contrary, if they are in danger, they are their most trusted guardians.

And because of the arrival of the army, the people who were originally burning incense and worshipping the Buddha and donating incense money. After hearing the movement, they all walked out of the temple and watched the army outside.

Seeing this scene, the abbot of the temple, who saw that his business had been temporarily interrupted, hurriedly walked out of the temple with his attendant monks.

originally thought that he was the abbot of a temple, and even if the other party was a soldier again, he had to give him some face.

However, as soon as he came out of the temple gate, he met the captain of the first team of King Zhou's personal guard.

As soon as the two sides met, the other party directly pulled out the long knife at his waist and directly slammed it on his neck.

This presiding abbot who has been pampered for more than ten years, where has he seen this meeting!

The biting chill on the long knife suddenly frightened his calves and stomach.

Because of the suddenness of the incident, the entire temple was almost unprepared.

The captain who led the team acted exceptionally skillfully.

Gather all the monks in an open place of sight, and then ask them to find the monk's book.

One by one, I found that there were fewer people, so I asked where I went.

If you ask and you don't know, then you will find trouble with the abbot.

Ask if anyone knows the person who is not named and knows where the other person has gone.

If you ask once and no one answers, break the host with a finger.

After the fight, ask again.

If no one answers, interrupt the second one and continue asking.

When the presiding officer's finger is broken, then change the deputy abbot and continue to ask.

King Zhou's personal guards have always paid attention to efficiency.

As for the means, it is not so important.

When Zhu Hu rode a tall horse and rushed over with the follow-up troops.

In the entire Hanshan Temple, basically all the monks are already in place.

After hearing the report of his subordinates, Zhu Hu walked into the temple with a serious face.

At this time, the number of people gathered around at this time was not reduced, but there were many more people than at the beginning.

"Seal all the treasury of the entire monastery, start the inventory of the property, and at the same time value the interior decoration of the temple."

"In addition to that, find out the accounts of the temple, and if they don't have them, find the accounts of the temple. If you make a mistake, you will cut a piece of his meat! ”

After Zhu Hu came to the courtyard of the temple, he looked at the monk who was kneeling on the ground.

He sat directly in front of the gate of the Daxiong Treasure Hall.

Looking at the monks below, Zhu Hu's expression was pale.

He knew a little about the situation in the villages around Hengyang City.

The farther away the village is from Hengyang City, the more impoverished it becomes.

Even some villages were gradually deserted by the time he came.

In this case, in this Hanshan Temple, the steps in front of the gate are paved with bluestone.

And when I entered the door just now, the four angry King Kong statues in front of the door were built with extraordinary majesty!

The vajra in his hand is still gold-plated!

The temple number is the bottom of the golden Nanmu!

It's extravagant!

The green bricks and green tiles in the courtyard look very prosperous.

However, just below the mountain, the surrounding villages are barren, and the people are yellow and thin.

The monks here are full of oil and fat, and their faces are full of oil!

In contrast, this pure place of Buddhism is so ironic.

"This must be His Royal Highness King Zhou! The poor monk was very puzzled, and it was rumored that His Royal Highness King Zhou was jealous and hateful, and loved the people like a son! ”

"But my Hanshan Temple has always been law-abiding, respecting orders everywhere, and abiding by the law! Why did His Highness suddenly come with a large army today? ”

"The quiet place of my Buddhism has always been indisputable with the world! If you act like this, aren't you afraid of colliding with the Bodhisattvas and the gods and Buddhas? ”

When Zhu Hu came forward, the presiding abbot of Hanshan Temple felt that he had finally met someone who could be reasonable.

Holding the four fingers that were forcibly broken, he endured the heart-piercing pain in his hand, stood up and questioned Zhu Hu with a solemn face.

And Zhu Hu also learned the identity of the other party through the report of his subordinates at this time.

When he knew that the other party was the boss of this temple, Zhu Hu also smiled slightly.

Then, under the incomprehensible gaze of the other party, he got up and took the three sticks of incense handed over by his subordinates behind him.

Then he bowed slightly to the Daxiong Treasure Hall behind him, and slowly inserted the incense in his hand into the incense burner.

After calmly doing all this, Zhu Hu turned his head to look at the other party.

"Dare to ask the abbot?"

"Poor monk law number Zhixian!"

"Master Zhixian, I actually won't tell you, I am also a believer in Buddhism, everyone in the world knows, my father was a monk before. Our entire royal family believes in Buddhism! And they are all devout believers in Buddhism. ”

"However. But now this king has heard that among the Buddhists we believe in, there is something that hides filth and dirt! ”

"When this king comes today, you will treat it as if I came to clean the portal. It's not a big deal! ”

“.”

Clean up the portal

A prince, don't you lose your conscience when you say this?

"Lord Wang, the account books have been found and the finances have been settled. There is a huge gap in quantity, and there are also a lot of land and real estate deeds and house deeds of Hengyang City found in the temple! ”

"In addition to these, there are many people's IOUs, the regulations on which are harsh, and although subordinates and others are literate, they do not understand very clearly."

"But these IOUs were all drawn by someone!"

While Zhu Hu was speaking, a guard in light armor hurriedly came to Zhu Hu's side.

And after Zhu Hu heard his report, the smile on his face gradually became gloomy.

"The rules on the IOU are complicated? You literate people who have read some books can't understand it, but can the people who draw it understand? ”

"This. There shouldn't be a few people who can understand it. ”

"Okay, relying on the blindness of the people, tricking the other party into drawing a mortgage loan. The temple's finances are unclear, the accounts are not clear, and there is a lot of money that has no way out! ”

"Take all the monks and bring them back for interrogation. At the same time, according to the IOU, I will find all the people who have borrowed money, and this king will inquire one by one. ”

"Yes!"

After Zhu Hu finished his order, he just wanted to leave.

His brow furrowed slightly.

Then he looked at the Daxiong Hall behind him.

"This place was sealed, and at the same time a group of craftsmen were arranged to come and tear down this temple. The materials were used to build houses for the poor people at no charge. ”

"The golden body of the Buddha was scraped off and the gold and silver were re-smelted. This money is invested in the hospital's accounts! ”

"The Buddha said that saving a life is better than building a seventh-level floating slaughter! This king used his golden body to exchange for medicinal materials to really save people, if the Buddha knew, he would definitely give this king a great merit! ”

"No.. Don't offend the Buddha! His Royal Highness King Zhou, you keep claiming that you are a person who believes in the Buddha, how can you do such a thing that angers heaven and earth? ”

After hearing Zhu Hu's arrangement, the host of Hanshan Temple was directly anxious.

Where can he take care of the surrounding swords at this time, and where does he care if Zhu Hu is the body of the prince!

directly refuted what Zhu Hu did.

However, Zhu Hu at this time is not the idle prince in the imperial city at the beginning.

The Way of the Holy Man!

Then you have to do what others can't do, and do what others don't dare to do!

Mr. Chu Ze gave him a life motto: If everything is based on the four words of benefiting the country and the people, then everything you do will be accepted by the people!

And when you are admired by the people, then you are already a saint in their hearts!

"Zen Master Zhixian, is it a good thing for me to demolish the temple and build a home for the people?"

"I removed the golden body of the Buddha and saved the lives of the people. Isn't that a good thing? ”

"The golden body of the Buddha and this magnificent temple, placed here, it is just a landscape, is there any use except for people to see?"

"But if I use it on the people, these things can make dozens of families live in houses and save hundreds of people's lives!"

"The Buddha I believe in is one who does good deeds and benefits the common people. It's not placed here for people to worship! ”

"The Buddha can still cut meat to feed the eagle, why do you care about these golden bodies?"

"Zen Master, you're in love!"

“.”

Before Zhu Hu became the current lord of Hengyang City, he was a person who read poetry and books.

Among Zhu Yuanzhang's many princes, his knowledge is definitely the number one.

Just playing lip service, he is not worthy of anyone.

Besides, if you don't accept it, you still can't accept it?

"Zen Master, there are many disputes in your temple now! Instead of worrying about the Buddha, you should worry about yourself. A few days ago, your temple beat Zhao Sanjiu and caused him to die. I hope you can figure out how to explain it to me! ”
