On the way back to Beijing, Ye Sheng received three holy decrees.

The official position changed three times a day, and he was deeply speechless.

When he entered Gyeonggi, he saw hungry people everywhere, and some of them were even wearing cotton jackets and six-in-one hats, as if they were outsiders, but their faces were pale and they were crowded together with the homeless people.

Ye Sheng asked and found out that he was the master of Daxing Zhuangzi, because the rice shop had not sold grain for a few days, so he could only drag his family out to find something to eat.

I haven't eaten for two days, and I'm dying of hunger.

The first two days were better, and I ate porridge with grass seeds and bark, although I couldn't fill my stomach, at least I was still alive.

Today, there is no food at all, and there is a red land outside the city, and everything that can and cannot be eaten has been eaten.

He wanted to go into the city to join his relatives, but the gates were closed and there were soldiers guarding him, so he couldn't get in.

Hungry and panicked, the family gathered together, scraped the foam in the grove, mixed it with the snow and boiled it.

Ye Sheng glanced at the woods outside the city, and countless homeless people were scraping trees and boiling water to drink.

"Has Gyeonggi suffered any disaster?" Ye Sheng was confused.

I asked a few people, and they actually said that there was no disaster, but there was nothing to eat at home, so I came out to look for something to eat.

In this green and yellow season, there is not even a single green grass, where to find food.

Ye Sheng looked at these people, they were all dressed well, they should not be disaster victims who traveled from other places, like locals, and the accent was also local, I think it was Gyeonggi where to invite the disaster, he had to write a chapter to show His Majesty.

When he asked, another group came from the direction of Fangshan, all dressed well, but their eyes were green, especially when they saw Ye Sheng's carriage, they kept drooling.

"Fangshan has also been hit by a disaster?" Ye Sheng walked over to inquire.

"Big Master!"

At this time, a woman led a child to pounce, knelt on the ground, and grabbed the hem of Ye Sheng's official robe: "Master, please take me in, I can do anything, as long as you give me a bite to eat, you can do whatever you want!" ”

"You don't look down on me, my daughter, my daughter hasn't allowed anyone yet, as long as you can see it, let her be a fire maid, if you look down on her and reward her for a room, then it's her ancestors who have accumulated virtue, lord, you can do it, okay!"

She dragged the little son in her arms again: "He, he is clever, it is okay for you to be a long-term companion!" Master, you can do well, take in our mother and son! ”

Ye Sheng was stunned, seeing that this sister-in-law was dressed decently, she didn't look like a person who sold her sons and daughters.

"My lord, my family is a pure white family, and my man is a soldier, in the Beijing camp! If I wasn't really hungry, I wouldn't have sold my sons and daughters, and my daughters used to come to the door to ask for marriage, and I didn't agree......"

Before the woman could finish speaking, she began to cry.

Seeing her say this, more than a dozen women ran over and knelt down, begging Ye Sheng to accept them.

"You all get up first, the old man has some money here, you take it and buy some food, and get through the difficulties first." Ye Sheng smiled bitterly, he was really confused.

"I don't want money, it's useless now, I want to eat!" A woman cried.

"If you have money, you can buy it." Ye Sheng persuaded hard.

But she didn't want the woman to take out a handful of silver and throw it on the ground: "What's the use of this thing!" You can't eat or drink, my family has it! My family is the old man of Zhuang, my man is the eldest young master, I starved to death yesterday, if you look at my posture, you will accept me! Whining! ”

The other women also shouted, saying that they were innocent women, so they gave them a bite to eat and did anything.

"How so, how so!"

Ye Sheng sighed, what is the difficulty that forced these innocent women to not even want chastity?

He has done it again.

"Sister-in-law, everyone, listen to me!"

"The old man is an official of the imperial court, so he will enter the palace to report to His Majesty!"

"Your Majesty is worried about the country and the people, and there must be a way to help Jier and others."

"But please stay away, the court will have a proper solution......"

Before Ye Sheng finished speaking, a woman stood up and spat at the mouth and sprayed on his face.

"It's all the dog emperor who collects grain at a high price, so that we don't have anything to eat!" The woman roared in anger.

But it attracted the echoing voice of the homeless.

Ye Sheng was about to scold, but he saw that the crowd was excited, countless homeless people scolded the emperor and the court, and some people even stared at him with red eyes.

The heart of compassion was coaxed, and he did not dare to answer.

Seeing that Ye Sheng was silent, he angered the homeless people from Fangshan.

Pointing at Ye Sheng and scolding: "It's a dog official like you who makes us starving!" ”

"Kill this dog officer!"

"Cook him and eat meat!"

The homeless people who were originally hungry and shaking, when they heard the word "eat", their eyes turned blue, and they stared at Ye Sheng.

Ye Sheng heard the sound of swallowing saliva, and secretly regretted it in his heart.

"This horse will be given to you, the old man will enter the palace to report to Your Majesty, you believe in the old man, the old man will give you a satisfactory ......"

Ye Sheng didn't finish speaking, he ran away.

Don't want anything, rush to the city gate!

"Help! This official is Ye Sheng, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, open the city gate quickly! Ye Sheng shouted at the city gate as he ran.

"Don't let that dog officer go!" The first woman to kneel swooped down vigorously.

Fortunately, Ye Sheng was taken by surprise and ran fast enough.

The woman threw herself into the air and swallowed viciously and spat at the mouth: "It's he who plucked the dog emperor and caused us to not have enough to eat!" Eat him! ”

Ye Sheng is thin, usually attaches great importance to diet, and maintains it well.

Although he is over forty years old, he can run extremely fast, and the homeless people have not been able to eat for several days, so they naturally can't keep up with his pace.

But when the afterglow flickered, I saw that on the head of the city, the guards of the city were wound with bows, and the cold light of the arrows flickered.

He was so anxious that he took out the official citation from his arms.

"This official is Shangshu! Don't shoot arrows, this official is a court scholar, an official! This is an official robe, an official robe! ”

In a hurry, Ye Sheng pulled open his official robe and shook it in the wind, so that the soldiers on the city wall could see it clearly.

"Don't do it, it's the officials under the city!" A small flag was stopped.

hurriedly went to report to Shangguan, Shangguan came to see, and saw Ye Sheng like a jumping monkey, wearing obscene clothes and waving official robes.

"It's an official, put down a hanging basket."

When Ye Sheng was hung up at the city gate, he vaguely saw the homeless people chasing him before running under the city wall.

But the small flag on the city wall waved his hand.

Shout! Shout! Shout!

The arrows flew into the air, and the sister-in-law, who was going to sell her daughter to him, was hit by an arrow in her chest and fell to the ground.

Her pupils seemed to have a few detached pupils.

Seeing the blood, the exiles scattered in a hurry.

However, Ye Sheng saw that someone was dragging the body of the sister-in-law, and her son and daughter tried their best to protect their mother, but they were kicked by many powerful homeless people, and they were outnumbered after all.

"I can eat meat, I can eat meat......"

Ye Sheng seemed to hear the laughter of the homeless, and he shuddered.

Standing at the head of the city, he suddenly laughed miserably, and tears broke out of the corners of his eyes.

Along the way, people's livelihood has been difficult.

He thought his heart was as hard as iron, but he couldn't help crying.

"My lord, do you need to send adults into Beijing under the mark?" That little flag is quite stammering.

"No need, I can go."

The corners of Ye Sheng's mouth twitched, and he barely showed a smile: "What's your name?" ”

"Mark Xing Han, I've seen Lord Shangshu!" Xiaoqi saluted respectfully.

"This official will show credit to Your Majesty."

Xiaoqi, who was called Xing Han, was overjoyed and thanked him again and again.

But Ye Sheng didn't have the heart to be hypocritical, he wanted to enter the palace quickly and explain the matter to His Majesty, so he said directly: "Prepare a carriage for the official, and go to the official's house to get it at night." ”

"Mark and obey!" Xing Han knew that he was about to soar into the sky.

Looking at the prosperity of Beijing, Ye Sheng was full of sighs.

Just a wall apart, but like heaven and hell.

However, he found a strange sight, there was a long queue at the door of the grain store.

As the carriage drove along the road, he quickly wrote down a note in the carriage, reporting what he had seen and heard outside the city to the Holy Lord, asking His Majesty to provide relief as soon as possible, so as not to cause disaster.

He entered the palace all the way and entered the Fengtian Temple.

Outside the palace gate, the emperor's roar was heard.

"What a Gongon!"

"Force the farmers of Gyeonggi to sell grain and resell it to me at a high price!"

"What a business! How shrewd you are! ”

"Good!"

"I don't want to ask you for money!"

"I don't dare to ask for it, I'm afraid that you will seek to usurp the throne again because of the silver, and kill me, but what should I do!"

"Okay, I'm broad-minded, I won't mention this article!"

"But what about the grain? You come to me, what can I do! ”

"Can I still conjure food?"

Zhu Qiyu was angry on the Fengtian Temple.

The hundred officials in Beijing knelt on the Fengtian Temple, and those who could not kneel in the hall knelt outside the hall, and the whole square was full of people.

One by one, they were dripping in cold sweat, and they looked forward with their eyebrows and rat eyes.

"You give me ideas! I don't have a problem! After finishing the fire, Zhu Qiyu sat on the dragon chair dejectedly.

I wanted to kill someone, but an abyss appeared in front of me, is it useful to kill someone?

"Your Majesty, I think it's better to give a spicy hand!" Dai Ang said in the sixth department.

"Murder?"

"You don't have a brain!"

"Is the problem the outcasts out of the city?"

"Gyeonggi farmers have no food at home, do you dare to say that the people in the city have surplus food at home?"

"Did they sell it too? Have you earned all my money? ”

"Believe it or not, I sent out the Nine Men soldiers, and the city immediately overturned."

"I don't know if I can hold the Forbidden City, but your family will definitely bear the brunt, and I don't know what the hungry people will do when they rush in!"

Zhu Qiyu was in a good mood and just enjoyed the feeling of being in power.

As a result, Chao Chinese Wu sent him a sinkhole! No, it's the abyss!

How chaotic the dynasties and dynasties were, isn't it just full of food!

If it can't be properly solved, wait to be the emperor of the late Ming Dynasty, I'm afraid it's not as good as Chongzhen.

Dai Ang stepped back smugly.

"Li Xian, come on, what's the solution!" Zhu Qiyu named.

Li Xian's expression was bitter: "There are two ways for the minister, one is to urge the Yamen to transport grain into Beijing as soon as possible; The second is to recover some of the grain to solve the urgent need. ”

"This is the way? I use you, you say? I don't have a brain, I don't think about it? Zhu Qiyu caught him and sprayed him to death.

Li Xian knelt, bowed his head, and did not dare to speak.

"Urgent urgency, urgent urgency, how to solve tonight's dinner! Let's talk about it! Zhu Qiyu was furious.

"Weichen thinks that he can go to the temple to borrow a little." Li Xian said it hard, and he was not afraid of being scolded.

This is the countermeasure they discussed at Hu Hui's house.

"You go and borrow it, I can't do anything about it." Zhu Qiyu can't get out of the way.

He simply lay down on the dragon chair, put his hands in his sleeves, and closed his eyes.

Li Xian desperately gave Hu Hu a look.

"Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that he can borrow it in the name of the court, and when he has money and food, he will return it to the temple, what do you think?" Hu Hui advised.

Zhu Qiyu opened his eyes and glanced at him: "Old lady, you won't also participate, right?" ”

Hu Hu was embarrassed to speak.

"Good guy, loyal ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, just a faint king, what a fucking irony!"

"Whether you are loyal or traitorous, you know it in your heart!"

Zhu Qiyu simply turned around: "Alas, you are thick-skinned, go and borrow it yourself, I have no problem, I am in the Fengtian Temple, waiting for the hungry people to rush in, cut off my head and kick it as a ball, I admit it." ”

Seeing that the emperor was picking, Hu Hui's face turned bitter: "Your Majesty, you still have to ask Your Majesty for a holy decree ......"

"Get out!"

"Did you make a mistake and let me wipe your ass?"

"Please, my holy decree, is it that I have robbed the peasants of their food? Or do I buy low and sell high to earn my own money? ”

"Old lady, it's a shame that you said that!"

Zhu Qiyu sat up angrily, with a sympathetic expression: "Old lady, how do you usually teach me?" Forgot all? Earnestly teach me to be a wise gentleman who loves the people like a son! ”

"I did it, I sold the Huangzhuang and the Huangdian, and I sold everything that could be sold in the palace!"

"For the sake of the war and the victims, I have eaten porridge and pickles for more than half a month, and I am reluctant to eat even an egg!"

"And what about you?"

"Buying low and selling high has forced farmers into displaced people, and sold the rations of millions of people in Gyeonggi!"

"Are you greedy for that little money from selling food? Is your family really short of that little money? Old lady! ”

"What's that money? Don't you count in your heart? ”

"If you move, one person will die in Shandong!"

"Do you spend this money with peace of mind? That's all blood-stained money! ”

"I don't even have the face to talk about you!"

"I really don't know what the first emperor would think when he saw his entrusting ministers in the heavens and burying Daming with his own hands?"

"I thought you were going to be Yu Wenhua!"

"As a result, you are not as good as Yu Culture!"

Zhu Qiyu scolded Hu Hu for being bloody.

Hu Hu's tears rained down.

He always thought that he was maintaining the Daming artifact, but he didn't know that the person who dug up the roots of Daming with his own hands was actually himself!

"The old minister is guilty!"

"The old minister is ashamed of the first emperor, and he is ashamed of Taizong and Renzong!"

"No one is as good as Lao Chen, Lao Chen is the first stupid minister in the ages!"

"It was the old minister who harmed Daming!"

Hu Hu kowtowed constantly, and the old man burst into tears: "The old minister is willing to apologize for his crime with death!" ”

Finished! Overdone again?

This old slippery head!

I wanted to take the opportunity to cut Hu Hu's power, who wanted Hu Hu to slip and leave no hands, and invite him to die, which was cunning enough.

"Your Majesty, this is a great sin for the ministers, and the ministers are greedy for a small advantage, so I ask Your Majesty to be gracious!" Li Xian knelt on the ground and excused Hu Hui.

"That's it!"

Zhu Qiyu borrowed the slope to get off the donkey: "I originally prepared the sword of the Son of Heaven, and planned to kill all the court, and then commit suicide to apologize." ”

"But think about it, I'm an emperor, I can't be a coward! Escapism. ”

"The old lady should get up, get up."

"Think of a way, how to spend this time, don't die!"

"Don't talk about the stupid way to send troops to kill all the displaced people, can you kill millions of people in Gyeonggi, even the whole of Hebei and half of Henan?"

"Let's talk about it, what should I do?"

Zhu Qiyu didn't fight anymore, he just caught a hand of Wang Bang, and he was beautiful, but people stopped playing, and his mood was like a dog.

"The old minister thinks that borrowing food from the monk is the only way!"

"Your Majesty urges Cao Yun again, and transport more grain into Beijing."

"Then urge grain from Henan and Liaodong, and transport some of it nearby, solve the urgent need, and return it to them afterwards, or buy it ......."

Before Hu Hu finished speaking, Zhu Qiyu glanced at him.

Still buying?

Want Henan and Liaodong to repeat this scene?

"The old lady went to borrow it from the monk, this holy decree can't be issued, so let's pass on the oracle." Zhu Qiyu didn't want to leave a handle.

"Lao Chen thinks that a family comes to borrow it, which is easy to cause misunderstanding."

"Or let the people of Beijing know that there is a shortage of food in Gyeonggi, and they are afraid that people will be uneasy and cause panic."

"It is better to take the opportunity of the Spring Dragon Day to hold a Buddhist and Taoist event in the palace, and invite senior monks, Taoist priests, and lamas in Beijing to enter the palace to participate in the event."

"We are just right, please send a sum of food to the temple."

Hu Hu is damaged enough, let's have a pot.

However, in this way, the emperor's reputation must stink in the middle of the monk's path.

Unless Zhu Qiyu is willing to reward the monks and give them what they want, they can resolve the turmoil.

Hu Hu just wanted to use political concessions in exchange for borrowing food from the temple.

Speaking of which, it's all about making me suffer, and you take advantage of it.

"Old lady, this strategy is indispensable, but I want to know, how much food is lacking in Gyeonggi?" Zhu Qiyu nodded slowly.

Hu Hu was also confused, and turned his head to look at Li Xian and the others.

Everyone was confused.

But at this moment, Ye Sheng asked to see you.

"Ye Sheng, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, may I ask the Holy Bow!" Ye Sheng knelt on the ground after saluting.

"I'm safe!"

Zhu Qiyu asked him to get up.

Ye Sheng presented a recital, describing what he saw and heard outside the city.

"How can it be that serious?" Hu Hui was taken aback.

"Hu Shangshu, Xia Guan has only seen the tip of the iceberg, and the real situation is probably ten times more serious!"

Ye Sheng didn't know that Hu Hu had become a secretary of the ministry and was named Taifu, so he was called so.

Li Xian looked at Lin Cong, Lin Cong looked at Wang Zhi, Wang Zhi looked at Wang Hong, and everyone looked at each other.

"It shouldn't be."

Wang Hong muttered: "We do collect grain, but there is a lot of silver in the officials, and the household department uses 190,000 taels of silver, how much grain can be purchased?" How can it be so serious? ”

"yes!"

These are old guys who immediately realize what the problem is.

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid someone is hoarding Juqi!"

Wang Wen knelt on the ground and said fiercely: "Your Majesty, please send out the Jinyi Guards to raid the grain shops in Beijing, and the proceeds will be enough to help the hungry people!" ”

That's right.

There must be someone hoarding Juqi, because the news of the flood in Shandong has spread, and the palace is raising money, and it must be bought for food relief.

Such a lucrative opportunity, how could a shrewd Ming businessman miss it?

"Hmm." Zhu Qiyu groaned.

It's no problem to kill a few merchants.

It's just that what if the grain merchant's grain is not in Beijing? Don't you startle the snake?

"Who are you waiting for to run the grain?" Zhu Qiyu asked.

The courtiers were pure husbands who read the books of the sages, so how could they do things that were stained with copper?

What can be said in the book of sages is good, the Son of Heaven does not compete with the people for profit, the official is not the Son of Heaven, the official is the people.

"I'm not holding me accountable, but I'm going to know, where is the warehouse of the grain merchant in Beijing?" Zhu Qiyu softened his tone.

Hu Hui, Lin Cong, and Li Xian looked at Mu Zhuang.

Mu Zhuang's face turned pale, and he said: "There is a small grain shop in Weichen's house!" ”

Zhu Qiyu's eyes sharpened, you probably have a part in hoarding!

"Say! Where is the grain merchant's warehouse? ”

Mu Zhuang was frightened: "As far as Weichen knows, there are three big grain merchants in Beijing, all of whom are Jiangnan merchants, who transport grain from Jiangnan to Beijing to sell. ”

"Generally, warehouses are located near Caoyun Wharf."

Zhu Qiyu's eyes lit up, Zhang Wan!

"Your Majesty!"

Hu Hu stopped him: "Your Majesty, it's better to send someone to find out the truth first, you can't do it immediately, once the grain merchant is prepared, it will be difficult to do." ”

This is the words of the old Cheng Mou Guo.

However, Zhu Qiyu glanced at the hundred officials in Beijing.

The backers behind these grain merchants are all standing in the court.

Do you say that they care about the lives of the people, or about their own money?

It must be a money bag, otherwise how could it be so ruthless, buying back the rations of millions of people in Gyeonggi, is it just to sell it to the household department at a high price?

What if they are not satisfied, and want a higher price, and sell it to the people?

"I'm giving you a chance to stand up!"

Zhu Qiyu stood up from the dragon chair: "Now is the autumn of critical survival, and the Jiangshan Sheji exists in the first thought!" ”

"Once the displaced people become rebels, it will not be good for them to cause chaos in Gyeonggi!"

"What's the use of stocking up on so much food?"

"I'm not a king of robbery, I pay money to buy it, or is it the same as last time, the household collects grain, and you set the price, how about it?"

"Stand up and act as if nothing happened, okay?"

Zhu Qiyu said dryly, but no one stood up.

The backstage of the grain merchants is pretending to be dead in the court.

Who could it be?

"Mu Zhuang!" Zhu Qiyu named.

"Weichen and Shangjia have nothing to do with each other, please Your Majesty Mingjian!" Mu Zhuang kowtowed like pounding garlic.

"Lin Cong!" Zhu Qiyu named again.

Lin Cong lay on the ground: "Weichen really doesn't know." ”

"Old lady! You tell me who is the backstage of the grain merchant in the court! Zhu Qiyu's eyes were as bright as knives.

"Your Majesty, the old minister doesn't know." Hu prevaricated.

Li Xian spoke first: "Your Majesty, since it is to buy, there is no need to go through a lot of trouble, the household department is listed to buy grain from the grain merchants, you also said that they set the price, and they will definitely sell the grain to the household department." ”

"You, Li Xian, pay for it?" Zhu Qiyu's tone was gloomy.

"Huh?" Li Xian was stunned, didn't you say just now, are you out?

"You don't pay for anything! Take advantage of your family, you go buy it! "Zhu Qiyu is angry, that's a joke!

I'm crazy and spend money to buy grain from grain merchants?

They have ruined my country, and I want to punish their nine clans! Still spending money? Burn it, let them go to the underground flowers!

"Your Majesty forgives your sins!" Li Xian was naïve.

"Good! No one has stepped forward! ”

Zhu Qiyu couldn't pretend anymore: "I sent the people from the East Factory to copy the grain merchant's warehouse!" You just wait in the palace, and the slightest wind is not allowed to leave the palace! ”

said that the grain merchant had no backstage, and he didn't believe it when he killed Zhu Qiyu.

In order to get the food smoothly, the center can only be stopped, and there is no way.

Zhu Qiyu's eyes were gloomy: "I will give you one last chance, take the initiative to stand up, and I will spare your whole family's life!" ”

"Otherwise, when I throw these profiteers into the edict prison, and when they recruit you, at that time, it will be difficult for me to let you die!"

The courtiers knelt down to apologize, but no one came out.

"Okay, you're ruthless!"

"Let all the civil and military officials accompany you, and let the world stop, just for a few bullshit businessmen, okay!"

"Spread the message Jin Zhong, do it!"

"Then send an edict to Song Jie, Li Jin, the guards and the horse army, listen to Jin Zhong's transfer!"

"Then pass on the decree to Caoyun Yamen, and cooperate with Jinyiwei! Violators will be killed! ”

"As long as I have food, anyone can die! The court only needs food! ”

"Pass me my lunch, and I'll eat it here!"

Zhu Qiyu's eyes were hopeful, hoping to get food.

These hoarders must be killed!

Dare to smash the jobs of millions of people in Gyeonggi and smash my world, these damn businessmen are all punished by the ten clans! No forgiveness!

……

Cao Jixiang has been fishing for people in major prisons since last night.

Especially those who were tortured and whose families were in the city were all fished out.

smashed the silver again, and recruited a group of people from the market to come in.

The grass platform team of the patrol camp has been completed.

Cao Jixiang and Fang Xing didn't sleep all night.

"Admiral!"

A man covered in wounds knelt in front of Cao Jixiang.

"You're a killer, you're really dead, you're still alive."

Cao Jixiang looked at him and smiled: "The emperor reuses us again, and we have to make some appearance!" ”

"Slaves and maids obey the orders of the Admiral!" Jiang Mian gritted his teeth, his toes were cut off, not to mention how many injuries there were on his body.

"No matter what you think in your heart, our family only needs the result!"

Cao Jixiang looked at everyone suddenly: "You are all sinners!" The emperor gives us a chance to live, do you cherish it? ”

"Cherish!"

Looking around, the kindest person in the patrol camp is actually a thief.

This thief's name is Zhang Qian, he looked at these patrol soldiers all over the world with a little horror, he thought he was bad enough, who would have thought that when he entered the patrol camp, he was the kindest one.

His boss Xiaoqi Lai San, Lai San had seven or eight lives on his hands, which Cao Jixiang fished out from the prison of the Criminal Department.

The general banner is even more evil, and has participated in the rebellion.

Baihu is the eunuch Jiang Mian, who is said to have participated in the theft of Riku.

Who are these people, what are they going to do?

Zhang Qian was afraid.

"Take 100 households as a team and go to the city to destroy all the shops that make and sell incense! Don't let any of them go! ”

Cao Jixiang said sharply: "This governor personally led a team to the temple and Taoist temple to destroy the incense!" ”

"If you're afraid, stand up, our family will kill him with a knife, and you will save the pain of going back to prison."

"Our family only gives you half a day's effort, if there is another incense stick in the city, our family will find the hundred households in charge of the district, find one, and our family will take a part from you!" You have chosen it yourself, and we will chop it directly! ”

The whole patrol camp trembled.

Cao Jixiang turned his head to look at the paperwork: "Is it written?" ”

"Back to the Admiral's words, it's written." The clerk was missing a hand and was wearing prison clothes, which were covered in blood and sour smell.

"Everywhere you smash, post one!"

"It's going to be posted all over the city!"

"Please read it in front of the notice again, so that the neighbors can hear it clearly!"

"Spend some more money and make up a song for the children to read through the streets!"

"Remember it all for our family!"

"In the city, those who burn incense privately will take off and beat ten boards! All incense in the city must be purchased in the patrol camp! ”

"You are not allowed to increase the price, and sell according to the price on the notice; Don't sell it privately, don't be greedy for ink, if you let our family know, whoever dares to deceive the upper and lower levels, our family will cut off the heads of your whole family! ”

Cao Jixiang's voice gradually became stronger: "The emperor asked our family to sell 500,000 taels a day, and we will start counting it today." ”

"If you can't sell the quota, you will pick up the parts on our family."

"Our family also tells you that before the emperor picks our family, our family will pick yours first!"

"Do your own math how many parts there are on your body, enough for us to pick!"

"Let's go!"

Cao Jixiang was too lazy to talk nonsense, and directly led the team to the temple.

Everything is difficult at the beginning, and he plans to challenge the most difficult first, Longfu Temple (Five Pagoda Temple).

Longfu Temple was built by the emperor, built in Jingtai for three years, and was built with Nangong trees.

At that time, in order to better monitor the emperor, the emperor cut down the trees of the South Palace in the name of building Longfu Temple, and built Longfu Temple with this tree.

Longfu Temple is not simple, it is a temple where Fan and Zen live together.

The Dharma Lama is the Dharma Master who gave the empowerment to the emperor, and the Master of the Dharma Pagoda is Kaydrubje, the disciple and grandson of Dharma Tai Tsongkhapa, and his status is extremely high.

Although he is not in Beijing now, his apprentice Lama Qianjia is stationed in Beijing and often enters the palace to explain Buddhism to the emperor.

And the Zen monk Huijing is also a guest of the emperor.

It can be said that Longfu Temple is the temple that is most favored by the emperor, and it is because Cao Jixiang decided to start with Longfu Temple first, from difficult to easy.

Looking at the crowded Longfu Temple, Cao Jixiang breathed a sigh of relief.

For the sake of a small life, rush!

He saluted first and then soldiers, entered the temple, and discussed with the host first.

Lama Xiang Qianjia and Zen Master Hui Jing did not meet him, and it was Zen Master Vi who presided over the daily affairs of the monastery.

"The father-in-law does not need to be polite, this matter still needs to be reported by the poor monk to the host, and the father-in-law is asked to wait a while."

Zen Master Bi is also speculating, what is Cao Jixiang's identity to come to Longfu Temple to make trouble, does the emperor know?

"Please also ask Zen Master Visu to hurry up."

Cao Jixiang was secretly annoyed, if he took the door, how could he dare to talk to him like this?

Hmph, the temple in Beijing is not supported by our family and others, if there is no support from our family, what are you!

"Father-in-law Cao, please wait a moment." The Zen master decided to use the drag.

After drinking two cups of tea, Cao Jixiang couldn't sit still.

Looking at the sky outside, there are as many as 1,000 large and small temples in Beijing, and they all inform that the ghost knows when they will be able to collect the money.

If you waste all your time in Longfu Temple, I'm afraid that the parts on his body will not add up enough to be cut by the emperor!

"Someone! Block the door first! Cao Jixiang drank steeply.

Zen Master Bi opened his eyelids and ridiculed Cao Jixiang for not being able to hold his breath.

"Gonggong Cao waits, Zen Master Huijing is entering the meditation, please wait quietly, and you will have your own answer at that time." Viado.

"How long will it take?" Cao Jixiang really didn't want to tear his face with Longfu Temple.

Whether it is Zen Master Huijing or Lama Qianjia, he can't afford to be offended.

"It's coming." Vi Yan is in the auspicious temperament of Mo Cao.

Cao Jixiang paced back and forth, his eyebrows tangled.

Seeing that Bi Yi loves to take advantage of his unreasonable appearance, Cao Jixiang knows that this is a tiger falling in Pingyang and being bullied by dogs, seeing that he has now lost his power, he does not bird him.

"Zen Master Bisu, you and I are old acquaintances."

"Our family believes in Buddhism, and we have not lost money on incense over the years."

"Just make it convenient for our family, okay?"

"This is the emperor's mission told by the emperor, our family really doesn't have time to wait."

Cao Jixiang said bitterly, he really didn't want to tear his face.

"If Gonggong Cao is impatient, you can go to other temples to inform him first, and when Zen Master Huijing has a reply, the poor monk will send a little novice to inform Gonggong Cao, what do you think?"

Bi Yi is still an official tone, and this hand procrastination trick is used well.

Cao Jixiang can see that the incense money over the years has not yielded any incense.

"Where is Zen Master Huijing? Let's go find him personally! ”

With a wave of his hand, the little novice stopped Cao Jixiang's body.

"Zen Master Huijing settles down and communicates with my Buddha."

"If you have the idea of becoming a Buddha on the ground, how can you allow ordinary people to disturb you?"

"To put it mildly, even if Your Majesty is here, you must wait for the Zen master to return to his senses before he can enter to discuss the Dharma."

What does it mean by his words, what are you Cao Jixiang!

Cao Jixiang gritted his teeth and said in a muffled voice: "Please give the Zen master a definite time!" ”

Vi closed her eyes, too lazy to talk to him.

"Zen master, give our family a face, give the emperor a face, and let our family personally talk to Zen Master Huijing, how about it?" Cao Jixiang pleaded.

He closed his eyes and said nothing.

"Zen master, our family begs you, is it done?"

"After handing over the imperial mission, our family will come back and kowtow to the Zen master to make amends."

"The temple of the Heavenly King has not been repaired, right? We've got this money out, okay? Cao Jixiang was angry in his heart, but he still forced him to say something good.

But he didn't speak, and he wouldn't let him go.

He was about to move when the little novice stopped in front of him.

"Vish!"

Cao Jixiang roared: "Our family has limited time, please come out of Zen Master Huijing!" ”

"Silence!"

Bi Yan slowly opened his eyes: "Father-in-law Cao is angry, his liver is angry, in vain, go make a cup of chrysanthemum tea for Father-in-law Cao, let Father-in-law extinguish the fire, and his heart is naturally empty." ”

"Quiet, you pull a head!"

Boom!

Cao Jixiang pulled out his knife and slashed at Bi Yan's body!

"Ahh

Xiao Shami just went to stop him, but he hit the blade of the knife, screamed, and fell to the ground.

And Cao Jixiang withdrew the knife, put the knife on Bi Yan's neck, his face was hideous and vicious, and roared: "Our family asks you, where is Huijing?" ”

Bi Su was startled, he could no longer pretend to be a monk, and said tremblingly: "You, how can you kill and kill people in the pure place of Buddhism?" ”

Yikes!

The knife pressed down, the blade embedded in the skin, and blood poured out like urine.

Vi Su was stupid, it was his blood, and he was stunned.

"Our family asks you, where is Huijing?" Cao Jixiang doesn't care if he retaliates, let's save his dog's life first!

This bullshit monk is really angry, mocking our family, looking down on our family, okay, our family will die, and I will take you with me!

Bi Yan pointed to the hall above, and he kept trembling: "It hurts, it hurts......"

"You know it hurts, too? Yes? Give us a little affection! The tiger fell in Pingyang and was bullied by dogs! Go to hell! ”

Cao Jixiang's face was hideous, and he slashed down with a knife, directly cutting the throat of the next child.

"Someone's coming!"

"Seal the temple gate to our house, and leave only one door!"

"All the incense in the temple has been burned!"

"No one is allowed to touch it, and those who block it will be killed!" Toucher kills! ”

Cao Jixiang roared angrily, you forced our family to kill people!

"Obey the Admiral's orders!" Outside the hall came the sound of hanging children.

These are all ruffians and hooligans, who like to wreak havoc and smash and rob.

Cao Jixiang didn't bother to find any Zen masters, so he simply sat on the main hall and watched Bi Yi die little by little, inexplicably happy.

"Be quick, I'll go to the next one right away!"

Cao Jixiang's thoughts were cleared and his mood was relaxed.

That's how it should be.

The emperor let our family out, that is, he killed the Quartet, not to be angry!

Anyway, our family's life has entered the countdown, I'm afraid of a bird! People are dead and birds are facing the sky, we don't have birds yet, what are you afraid of!

At this time, Zen Master Huijing, who had entered the meditation, came in in a panic: "Grandpa Cao, how can you kill someone!" ”

"Zen Master Huijing? Aren't you in the middle of the book? ”

Cao Jixiang looked at him sarcastically: "Aren't you wandering into the world?" Follow the trail of the Buddha? Do you want to become a Buddha on the ground? How? Not a Buddha? Have you come to see our pickled people? Don't feel dirty? Zen master? ”

"You, you dare to be rude in Longfu Temple, the old man is going to Fengtian Temple to sue you! The old man wants to ask His Majesty to preside over the public ......"

Hui Jing's words were half-cut and stopped.

Because Cao Jixiang slapped the blood-stained knife on his face.

Syllable! Syllable!

The blade of the knife, which was still hot, slapped him in the face.

Hui Jingsheng stopped talking, her face full of horror: "Cao, Grandpa Cao, what are you going to do?" ”

"It's called Admiral." Cao Jixiang sat with a golden knife.

Hui Jing was a little scared and called "Admiral Cao".

Cao Jixiang grinned, full of sarcasm.

Then he stood up respectfully, picked up the notice from another chair, and unfolded it to him: "Spread the Emperor's message!" From now on, the incense burned by believers in the city must be purchased at the patrol camp, and it is not allowed to be made or sold privately! ”

He stuffed the notice to Zen Master Hui Jing.

When Zen Master Huijing saw it, he almost had a cerebral thrombosis: "This, this is a clever robbery!" ”

Syllable!

Cao Jixiang slapped the blade of the knife on his face, and a bloody streak was made on Zen Master Huijing's fleshy face.

Zen Master Huijing gritted his teeth and refused to scream.

"What did you say?"

Cao Jixiang asked him: "Just your words, it's enough to cut off your head!" ”

Zen Master Huijing is angry, it must be a traitor like Cao Jixiang, bewitching the saint to listen, Your Majesty has come up with such a stupid trick!

No, the old man will enter the palace, please give your majesty an explanation!

However, in the face of Cao Jixiang's burning eyes, he softened: "The old man has lost his words." ”

"Get on your knees!" Cao Jixiang snorted coldly.

Zen Master Huijing gritted his teeth, knelt down in front of the Forbidden City, and bowed.

"All walls must be posted with notices, no one is allowed to damage it, if a corner is broken, our family will stop the incense in Longfu Temple for a day."

"A monk was sent to the temple to preach in front of the notice, telling all the pilgrims to go to the patrol camp to buy incense."

"Of course, the patrol camp will set up a small flag at the entrance of the temple, just buy it at the door."

"Also, the temple should burn incense every day, and the incense will be one hundred taels of silver."

"Whether our family burns it in your temple or the pilgrims are willing to pay for it, our family will see the money."

"If the pilgrims in the temple are willing to pay money, they can be auctioned, and the price is not capped, and the one with the highest price will get it."

"There is also a tail incense, come to buy it in the temple, ten taels of silver for a stick, the price is not high, you burn three burns in front of a Buddha statue, our family counts how many Buddha statues are in the temple, how much money will be charged, rest assured, don't take more of you."

"As for the rest, our family hasn't thought of it for the time being, but when we think of it, we will stick it on the wall together, and the temple view of the whole city is the same, no exceptions! We are not allowed to make exceptions! ”

After listening to Cao Jixiang's words, Zen Master Huijing felt incredible: "How can the pure place of Buddhism be contaminated with copper odor? ”

"Zen Master Huijing, if you have to say this, then please take out the silver donated by the pilgrims to the temple and give it to our family, our family is not afraid of copper smell!"

Cao Jixiang sneered: "Don't say no, our family has donated to you all these years, Zen Master Huijing." ”

Hui Jing bowed her head and said nothing.

The popularity of Buddhism in Beijing is directly related to the eunuchs' belief in Buddhism.

Let's say that Wang Zhen's family temple is comparable in scale to Longfu Temple.

Cao Jixiang throws tens of thousands of taels of silver every year, how much money is in the temple, Cao Jixiang is clear.

"Grandpa Cao...... Admiral Cao, let's take a step to speak. "Zen Master Huijing understands, don't eunuchs just think about that, give.

"What? Do you want to bribe our family? Hmph, this is the emperor's cha, the imperial cha, understand? Do we dare to think crookedly? Yes? ”

Cao Jixiang pushed him away: "Zen Master Huijing, you collect the body of Zen Master Biyi, our family doesn't have that kung fu!" ”

"Remember, don't play tricks with our family, if you find an incense stick that shouldn't be in Longfu Temple, our family will open your brain!"

As he spoke, Cao Jixiang patted his bare head.

Zen Master Huijing was so angry that he wanted to cry, he was a high-ranking monk, how many times he entered the palace to explain Buddhism to His Majesty, and His Majesty treated him with a teacher's courtesy.

But Cao Jixiang slapped his head like this.

It's like a watermelon, snapping.

"Lama Qianjia, you go and explain, let him do it!"

Cao Jixiang walked out of the hall and shouted: "Are you done?" Why is it so slow to build a door? ”

"You? Why don't you fucking collect the incense, what are you touching that little lady for? Hurry up and get to work, watch out for the guy you eat! ”

"It's limited to waiting for a cup of tea, and if you don't do it well, our family will kill you!"

Zen Master Huijing couldn't help but shudder.

Looking at Cao Jixiang again, he seems to be a madman, not only killing monks, but also killing his own people?

Look at the people he brought with him, the wounded, the hands and feet are not clean, the ruffians and hooligans, it seems that the only ones who look normal are actually stealing a pilgrim's money bag......

What kind of people are these!

No, Lao Wei must enter the palace and report to His Majesty, and he must not let scum like Cao Jixiang ruin His Majesty's reputation!

Absolutely not!

Threaten with your life, and work fast.

Cao Jixiang left a small flag, a small flag for five people: "You are stationed at this gate, start collecting money, according to our family's regulations, not too much, not too little, not too much, remember our family's words, be careful about the parts on your body!" ”

"Mark and obey!"

The five people of this small flag knelt on the ground, trembling.

In front of Cao Jixiang, they were sheep, but when Cao Jixiang left, they were all fierce, and they were all jackals, tigers and leopards.

"Listen the fuck!"

"A stick of incense and a tael of silver, you have to buy it if you enter the temple, and you have to buy it if you don't buy it!"

A big man with a meaty face, holding a knife, snapped, and the blade slapped on the table: "As long as you pass by this street, you have to enter the temple!" When you enter the temple, you have to buy incense! ”

A pilgrim dressed as a showman cowardly said, "Didn't the notice say a copper plate? ”

"You have the final say, or is Lao Tzu the final say? Lao Tzu said one or two, it is one or two! You give Lao Tzu a tael of silver first! ”

The little flag directly put the knife on Xiucai's neck.

"This is a robbery, this is a robber!" Xiucai was so angry that he cried bitterly.

"Otherwise, don't believe it, and if you believe it, you'll pay for it!"

"Let you meet with the Buddha, and spend a tael of silver to cheapen you!"

"Hmph, if you buy incense from the uncle, you can see the Buddha, so you want this price!"

Xiaoqi's expression is fierce.
