The more these people scolded, the more excited they became, and when they talked about their grief and indignation, they shed tears, and it seemed that they had suffered a lot of sins under the oppression of the Temple of Mercy and Grace.

Liu Yu ordered Dong Neng to record the testimony of the people on the side, and he listened to it for a long time before he spoke, and he shouted at the monks in the audience: "The crime of the monk Yunshan, the presiding monk of the Ci'en Temple, is clear, and any of you who is willing to defend him will stand on the right, and those who do not want to defend him will stand on the left." ”

The thousands of monks at the foot of the stairs looked at each other from behind, and at first quite a few stood on the right, trying to speak for the abbot.

When some of the monks saw that there were more people standing on the left, they retreated in their hearts and secretly ran to the left.

By the end, only a small cluster of monks remained on the right side. Vice Secretary Dong Neng counted the heads and came up with a total of eighty-three.

The great monk Yunshan relied on his own presiding officer in the Ci'en Temple for more than 30 years, and he thought that there would be many disciples who would stand up and speak for him, but he never thought that there were only eighty-three people, and for a while, his face was like ashes, and he begged Liu Yu with a sad face: "My lord, the poor monk knows that he is wrong. As long as you are willing to be lightly distributed, I am willing to make up for it with the property of the temple, and send all of them to Dali Temple to obey your arrangement. ”

Liu Yu smiled slightly, "The master already knew now, so why bother in the first place?"

He ordered all the officials to come forward and take all the eighty-three monks back to Dali Temple.

One of them cried out, "We have no sin, so why should you arrest us?" ”

Without waiting for Lord Zhengqing to speak, Deputy Secretary Dong Neng stepped forward and scolded loudly, "As the saying goes, snakes and rats have a nest, since you people dare to speak for Yun Shan, there must be a problem!"

After the eighty-three monks were taken out of the temple by the officials, the remaining monks were greatly relieved, thinking that they were no longer fine, and were ready to disperse.

"Wait!" Liu Yu drank the monks.

He poured his internal strength into this shout, and the sound spread throughout the halls of the Temple of Mercy and Grace.

He continued: "From now on, there will be no more people in this monastery, and all monks must lay down their weapons and return home. You must pass through the people, and if you are guilty of iniquity, ask the fathers and elders who are present to help you identify them, so that the wicked do not escape!"

When the tens of thousands of people gathered around the outer circle heard this, they immediately lifted their spirits and turned their eyes to the thousands of monks who were besieged, looking at their faces.

Forced by the situation, these monks had no choice but to put down their swords, axes, and clubs, and squeezed outside the temple one after another, trying to break through the human wall composed of ordinary people.

These people are very oppressed by the Temple of Mercy and Grace on weekdays, how can they let go of this opportunity to take revenge. Some of them guarded the temple entrance, while others joined hands to form a sturdy human wall several layers thick, leaving only narrow gaps for one person to pass through.

Every monk who passes through the human wall must be baptized by countless eyes and can only leave through the temple gate guarded by the people after confirming that he has not committed any crime.

Among them, several weak-hearted monks covered their faces and tried to force their way out, but they were finally beaten by the people and their noses and faces were swollen and rushed back into the encirclement.

About two hours later, most of the thousands of monks in the temple had left the temple, and only a few monks remained in the encirclement. The monks stood on the ground shivering, some of them wet their crotches.

Dong Neng led people forward to count the heads, a total of 267.

"Seal up the Temple of Mercy and Grace, and bring these people back to the Yamen!" Liu Yu ordered.

The officials then cleared the scene, and the people who were invited to leave and waited for the Dali Temple to pronounce the verdict on these guilty monks.

The hearts of the people were so happy that they reluctantly dispersed like a tide.

Under the command of Dong Neng, the Temple of Mercy and Grace, which had been glorious for more than a hundred years, was completely seized. All the doors of the main hall and the treasury are all sealed, and the bright red Dali Temple rune is very eye-catching.

When it was over, Dong Neng was still a little uneasy, "My lord, this Temple of Mercy and Grace has been in business for hundreds of years, and there are a lot of treasures and treasures in the temple. ”

Liu Yu smiled faintly, "Pick some and take them back to enrich the warehouse, as for the rest, turn a blind eye and let the people divide it." ”

Dong Neng nodded, "Your Excellency is wise, these belongings are all people's fat and people's ointment that have been stripped from the people, and it is only natural for them to take them back." ”

Liu Yu sighed, "Even so, it is still necessary to prevent the people from making trouble and killing people, so let's leave some people here to maintain order." ”

Dong Neng hurriedly agreed and went to the side to assign people.

Later, accompanied by Liu Lao Xue, Dong Neng and others, Liu Yu escorted 267 criminal monks back to Dali Temple, attracting the attention of many passers-by along the way.

After entering the hospital, as soon as Liu Yu turned over and dismounted, he suddenly remembered that Li Jing and the monk had been waiting in the study for a long time, and he was so shocked that he slapped his forehead.

With Li Jing's violent and uninhibited temperament, after waiting for so long, I don't know what kind of chaos will happen!

He hurried to the servant who had served in the study in the morning and asked, "Have they eaten lunch?"

The servant had a bitter face, and almost cried, "Returning to my lordship, send it over." The monk just didn't eat, the girl not only smashed the bowl, but also almost chased out to kill, saying that she didn't eat the dirty rice of our Dali Temple, but fortunately the villain ran fast, so she picked up a small life. ”

When Liu Yu heard this, he hurried to the study, and when he was still on the way, he had already heard the scolding from the study from a distance, so he deliberately slowed down.

"I'm leaving, I don't want to stay on this bastard's turf for even a moment!" the girl's angry rebuke came from inside the room.

"Jing'er, listen to me, Liu Yu may really have something important to do. Then another old male voice dissuaded.

"No, he's clearly avoiding me!"

"Amitabha, don't be obsessed, just think about it!"

"Daddy...... You don't know. The female voice whimpered, "He already has other women in his heart, as early as when he was on the grassland, he fooled around with a prostitute named Xie Anniang, and after arriving in Chang'an, the thief did not change his heart, and he actually hooked up with a dancing girl named Langyu." When it comes to the hearts of men in the world, there is no one more powerful than him. ”

"Uh-huh......" The old man's voice was a little restrained, and at the same time full of anger and helplessness, "But Jing'er, didn't you say that he won't marry in this life?"

"I ...... I ......" The woman in the room stammered a few words, and then there was no sound.

What followed was a long silence.

Liu Yu was a little overwhelmed by this silence, and it took him a moment before he mustered up his courage and pushed open the door of the house, only to see Monk Puzhen sitting in a chair, pinching the Buddhist beads and chanting in a low voice. Li Jing did not take a seat, but walked around the room angrily.

Monk Puzhen slowly opened his eyes, "Master Liu, are you back?"
