Chapter 106: Lord Xiao overpowers the Great Rite Temple
The corners of Fang Zheng's mouth trembled, and there was already a faint murderous aura in his heart, but in this situation, no matter how resentful and disobedient he was, he still had to pretend to be a smile and let himself face Xiao Chen calmly.
"Hehe, the overseer has a good reputation" Fang Zheng smiled, but there was really a kind of bitterness that he didn't smile, "My Dali Temple's hundred-year-old foundation is different from those small sects and factions under the mountain, just a gamble, but the Lord Bo is just happy." ”
"The master is open-minded, this governor admires" Xiao Chen arched his hand, "And master, your face is indeed very heavy." In that case, Ben Governor knows that you are so transparent, so he will not go around the bush with you. ”
"Someone!"
"Immediately give this governor a thorough investigation of all the degrees and disciples of the Dali Temple, but if there is a name that does not match, gather in front of the Daming Hall for the governor, the total number of people, and pay taxes according to the head of the person!"
Xiao Chen's voice was cold, and a touch of slaughter had calmly escaped, and the good-tempered guest disappeared in an instant, but was already adhering to His Majesty's order to kill the ruthless iron-faced Qincha.
Dealing with these Jianghu people, Xiao Chen knew too well in his heart that when it was time to give them a dead move, they couldn't be soft, otherwise these people who violated the ban with martial arts would not be afraid.
For a while, everyone in Dali Temple couldn't help but be shocked by Xiao Chen's bearing, and the anger on their faces suddenly froze, and they all looked at the square place.
Fang Zheng's face also changed, his eyes looked at Xiao Chen with a heavy expression, the corners of his mouth barely hooked up an arc of a smile, and his words were profound, "Governor Xiao, the Hidden Scripture Pavilion and the Great Returning Dan, our temple has already prepared for you, as for this matter, there is no need for the Governor to be so serious, right?" ”
Xiao Chenjun raised his eyebrows slightly, gently flicked the corners of his robe, sat leisurely on a wide Taishi chair beside him, leaned back lazily, and looked at Fang Zheng from afar, "Master, what do you mean, why don't you understand?" ”
"The Tibetan Scripture Pavilion and the Great Returning Pill are both that you should honor Your Majesty according to the gambling contract, and the law of the Great Chu is what you must abide by as the people of the Great Chu Temple, is there a conflict between the two?"
"Do you mean that you want to negotiate terms with Your Majesty, and if you want to be filial, don't let you respect the Fa? If you want to respect the Fa, can you be filial? ”
Fang Zheng was so frightened that he hurriedly bowed, lowered his head and said, "The overseer is joking, the old man has no such intention!" ”
Although the rivers and lakes have always been reluctant to be involved with the imperial court, no matter what, as long as all the people in the rivers and lakes are in the territory of Great Chu, they are the people of Great Chu, who dares to offend His Majesty Great Chu?
If Xiao Chen is really charged with a big rebellion, it will not be enough to cut off the head of the whole temple.
No matter how powerful the Jianghu sect is, it can't resist the iron cavalry of the imperial court.
Xiao Chen's eyes narrowed slightly, a smile escaped from his eyes, and there seemed to be a sense of ambition in his calm tone, "In that case, Shouzun, do you have any objections to the disposition of this governor?" ”
Fang Zheng secretly gritted his teeth, his back molars were about to be crushed, and the killing intent towards Xiao Chen in his heart was even heavier.
However, his mind was turning, and the situation in front of him made him have to admit that at this time, there was no other way than to obey Xiao Chen's disposal.
Futai Cai Lan did a good job, and in less than an hour, he completed the investigation of all the disciples on the mountain who did not have a degree.
The people who occupied a large marble clearing in front of the Daming Hall were cleared, and the two county orders pressed two teams of young disciples to line up in front of the Daming Hall.
Looking at the black press, the visual inspection actually accounted for as many as half of the disciples of Dali Temple.
Seeing this, Xiao Chen's face sank even more, a touch of solemn majesty escaped from his slightly narrowed eyes, and his voice was cold and deep, "Dali Temple is really bold!" ”
"Fangzheng, Ben Du needs an explanation."
The official authority from the Qin Cha and the authority over the life and death of the Dali Temple made Fang Zheng have to admit defeat, he hesitated for a moment, and the heavy unwillingness and hatred swept through Qing Xiu's calm face for many years, and a fierce killing intent filled his heart.
But the huge amount of this tax, the future of Dali Temple, and his position as the first one, at this time, are actually tied to Xiao Chen, a gelding!
This gelding is despicable and filthy, narrow-minded and declares personal vendettas, which is clearly incomprehensible and will not give up on this hatred.
It seems that he has only one last way to go, and for the sake of the Dali Temple, he can only deign to fight!
Fang Zheng gritted his teeth, his teeth were almost oozing blood, and finally knelt down with the courtesy of the grass people, "There is indeed negligence in the temple, all the degrees, the poor monks will send someone to make up for it as soon as possible!" ”
"I also hope that Lord Xiao can be lenient and benevolent, don't blame."
He thought that Xiao Chen hated himself for not bowing his head and complimenting him, but in Xiao Chen's heart, where could it be for this little thing.
Xiao Chen just snorted lightly, and did not intend to deal with Fang Zheng's intention to surrender his identity and calm people, his eyes looked at the masters in the temple coldly, and in the end, his eyes were slightly gloomy, and he was not moved at all, "One person and two can be regarded as negligence, but with such a huge number, do you think this governor can believe it?" ”
"Your Majesty can believe it?"
Fang Zheng had a secret hatred in his heart, and the fingers hidden in the sleeves of his robe had already withheld blood, he slowly raised his head and asked tentatively: "So, what does the Overseer mean, no matter what, he must be held accountable?" ”
Xiao Chen stared at him meaningfully for a long time, and in the midst of the battle between the two eyes, Fang Zheng seemed to realize something, and immediately said: "It's all poor monks who are not good for governance and cause trouble to the imperial court." ”
The sentence "poor governance" is equivalent to pushing the matter of deliberately omitting Du Mu to escape the imperial court taxes and seizing the disciples' land and property to the masters below.
The faces of several masters suddenly sank, and they all understood at this moment that Fang was planning to abandon the pawn and protect the car.
But the other halls that were not related to the matter of the disciple Du Mu were okay, and their eyes gradually showed a look of approval, after all, pushing a few people out and reducing losses could protect everyone's interests.
The heads and heads of the household affairs hall and the disciple's academy, which could be closely related to this matter, were already pale, and a sense of unwilling struggle was faintly surging.
Fang Zheng got up, his eyes narrowed slightly, and fell on these people with complex and deep meaning, and said in a deep voice: "Fang Yuan, Fang Wu, what is going on?" You two, quickly give an explanation to the poor monk and Lord Xiao! ”
The two of them both looked complicated, struggling and hesitating in their hearts, but under the heavy pressure, they really didn't have a chance to speak.
Xiao Chen sneered, and sold his favor to Fang Zheng for the time being, not planning to pursue it any further, so he gave an order, "Come on, take these two people, as well as all the disciples involved in this matter in their respective halls, into the state capital cell!" ”
"All the disciples who didn't have a degree of enlightenment, all of them drove down the mountain!"
"Taxes and land properties are personally investigated by Cai Futai, and there is no room for error!"
