Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Law of Great Chu
Fang Zheng's eyes narrowed slightly, and his face still maintained a smiling face, and he saluted: "Amitayus Buddha." My Dali Temple has always followed the law of Dachu, and there is no recklessness, I don't know what the overseer said, what does it mean? ”
Xiao Chen sneered, looked at the lay disciples, lay people, and disciples who had been officially included in the Dali Temple, and said meaningfully: "There are many disciples in Dali Temple, counting them, there are thousands of people up and down, right?" ”
The face of the first deity couldn't help but sink a little, and there was a sense of crisis lingering in his heart, and his eyes couldn't help but be a little cautious, "Dali Temple is a big gang in the rivers and lakes, and there are naturally many disciples. ”
"It's just that the Overseer, although we accept disciples, but according to the law of Great Chu, the Jianghu sect is allowed to recruit disciples, and there is nothing illegal about it, haha......"
"It's cool on the mountain, so the overseer and the little lady should hurry back to Daming Hall to rest. If you don't want to talk about it, it's good to have some tea. ”
Fang Zheng had vaguely sensed the crisis, and felt that Xiao Chen was going to do something with them, of course he couldn't continue this topic with Xiao Chen, he smiled and then politely stretched out his hand to invite Xiao Chen to go up the mountain, "Overseer, please." ”
Several other masters couldn't help but have a hint of melancholy in their eyes, worried that if Xiao Chen continued to talk about it, he would come to their lifeline.
Among the various sects of martial arts, there are many disciples, and there are naturally many people who open their mouths to eat and stretch out their hands to dress, but the people in the martial arts are chivalrous and respectful, and they do not farm, so it is indispensable to put money in prints, force farmers to work, and set up private casinos and flower buildings.
The last two are better, so as not to offend Tianwei, but once the first two are investigated by the imperial court, I am afraid that no sect can be spared, and the Dali Temple is naturally no exception.
Xiao Chen leisurely glanced at the weakness and fear on the faces of these people, and followed Fang Zheng and a group of masters to the outside of Daming Hall, but they were still standing very close among the people, and they did not have the slightest intention of going in to drink tea with Shouzun and others.
Fang Zheng couldn't help but stop and smiled slightly, "It seems that the Overseer is still attached to this mountain scenery?" It's just that...... You also know that it is unlucky to soak in blood in this mountain temple, and we see your face in the face of the overseer, so we let the thief go, but in the end, we are still worried about your safety, and we are afraid that the bad luck will affect you. ”
"If you don't want to go back to Daming Hall, let the disciples escort you and the little lady back to the room to rest."
Xiao Chen smiled at the corner of his mouth, but the killing intent gradually surged in his eyes, and he stared at Fang Zheng solemnly: "Master, this governor is here to follow the will of the Qincha, this law is not finished yet, how can I sleep peacefully?" ”
"Overseer, do you really want to be so unkind?" Fang Zheng completely lost his smile, and there was already an obvious hint of hostility towards Xiao Chen in his eyes.
Xiao Chen stood with his hands in his hands, calmly and indifferently, "This governor doesn't care about anything else, just take a look at how many degrees there are in Guibao Temple?" ”
As soon as these words came out, in just one sentence, they all lost their faces, their faces were upright, and their faces were completely lost, and all of them overflowed with a trace of ruthlessness.
Concubine Shu didn't understand the affairs of the rivers and lakes, and she was puzzled for a while when she saw this situation, but she also knew that Xiao Chen's words were the lifeblood of Dali Temple, and she couldn't help but hold Xiao Chen with some worry.
"It doesn't matter." Xiao Chen gently patted the hand of the beauty in his arms and gave Concubine Shu a reassuring look.
"What is a degree?"
"It's the first time I've heard of this, is this an important seal?"
Among the people, it is also unknown to the majority. Even some Zen visitors and laymen who have joined the Dali Temple do not know about it.
On the steps around the mountain not far away, the little disciples looked at each other.
"It sounds like something outside the square, since that's the case, it's not as precious as Da Huan Dan and other things, just tell him."
"Yes, I don't know why the head and the hall leaders are so hesitant?"
The disciples' discussions rushed into Fang Zheng's ears, and Fang Zheng's cold eyes were even more gloomy.
But no matter how many doubts and criticisms he suffered at this time, he couldn't answer Xiao Chen's question, otherwise, Dali Temple would not only lose its reputation, but I was afraid that it would become the enemy of all sects in the rivers and lakes.
According to the law of Great Chu, if the people want to join the sect, they must have a degree issued by the government to allow them to have a martial arts status; Of course, the people who hold the official government are also protected by the government.
And the non-personal disciples recruited by many sects are actually just a kind of servant who is used for endless errands and does not have to pay money.
Once these people have a degree, the various sects cannot use it excessively, let alone some things that eat people and collect money.
Therefore, there has always been an unwritten rule among the Jianghu sects, and if you want to enter this door, don't mention the matter of Dumu; Those who understand the method of the degree will be rejected by all sects.
"Hehe" Fang Zheng's eyes sank to the extreme, twisting the sandalwood beads and slowly speaking, it was already a broken cauldron, "Lord Xiao, you threatened to discuss with Lao Qu Mingtang yesterday, so many people came to see your demeanor, but Lord Overseer, you yourself escaped from the battle, and you didn't dare to fight against the poor monks." ”
"Could it be that the Governor thinks that in this way, he can be confused and cover up the fact that he does not understand the Zen method and the class has an axe?"
Xiao Chen's eyes narrowed, and a touch of transparency emerged, knowing that this old thing was scared.
With a sneer, Xiao Chen spoke leisurely, "Even so, don't say that the governor is not emotional. In this way, the Governor will give you a chance, and if you can win the Governor, the Governor will pardon the matter of the Dali Temple, and no longer ask questions; If you lose, you must follow the law of Dachu and send all the disciples who have not been able to do so down the mountain. ”
"And the acres and land deeds involved in it, as soon as they are taxed, are all in accordance with the law of Da Chu, they should be returned, paid, and supplemented, and not a single copper plate should be missing!"
For a while, everyone couldn't help but be shocked by Xiao Chen's determination, although the people didn't fully understand what was involved, they could also feel that Xiao Chen seemed to be plotting for Da Chu; And those masters who were once confident in discussing the Tao also showed a hint of hesitation in their eyes at this moment.
Xiao Chen's resoluteness and self-confidence gave them a momentary illusion that Xiao Chen really had the ability to win.
Fang Zheng twisted the sandalwood beads, couldn't help but contemplate with his eyebrows, and was a little suspicious in his heart for a while.
However, this incident is like a sharp sword hanging over his head, if he does not completely repel Xiao Chen's inquiry, then the consequences will be unimaginable.
It's rare for Xiao Chen to be so conceited, how could he not seize this opportunity and completely destroy Xiao Chen's prestige?
Fang Zheng was just about to speak, when he suddenly heard Fang Jing say arrogantly: "Lord Xiao has such a big breath!" But why should we make this bet with you? If we don't, what can the Overseer do? ”
Xiao Chen shook his head, naturally unwilling to deal with this bastard, he just looked at Fang Zheng with a smile, and in a leisurely manner, his tone already carried a touch of solemn majesty, "Then it's better, just let this governor take a look, can your Dali Temple, the sect of martial arts in the rivers and lakes, resist the iron cavalry of the imperial court." ”
