Cheng Yaojin pointed to one of the wounded monks.
The man shrank back in fright, and said tremblingly, "I, I, this, this grain was bought and stored in the temple a few years ago. At that time, there was a severe drought in the north, and the abbot asked us to buy and store more grain. Originally There are 10,000+ catties, and we can’t eat them all in a few years, so they all rot.”
What? ? ?
Today's Chapter 2, thank you for your support.
Chapter 633 One Knife After Another
"Bold and evil monk, you dare to hoard food in a catastrophe and make money for the country?" Bai Fan let out his momentum and shouted at the silent monk.
"No, no, I don't dare. We are storing food to save lives. During the catastrophe, people are panic-stricken. There are hundreds of people in our temple, and we need a lot. If there is no food to save lives, something will happen." Completely shocked, trembling when speaking.
Everyone around listened and felt that this reason was acceptable, and many people were whispering.
Unexpectedly, with a bang, Cheng Yaojin kicked a bald monk to the ground.
"Come and tell everyone, what happened at that time?"
The monk didn't seem to be covered in bruises, but his pale face showed that he was already seriously frightened. This is Cheng Yaojin's shrewdness. He beat and frightened a group of people, lest people say that he was beaten into a trick.
"I, I am in charge of managing money, food and grass in the temple.
During the severe drought in the Northland five years ago, the abbot ordered us to buy a large amount of grain. The more the better, he said that when the court could not support it, we could sell it at a high price, and at the same time win over the people and gain a good reputation.
But I didn't expect that Lantianhou conspired to transport grain from the middle of Shu, which solved the grain crisis in the north. There were basically no disasters around Chang'an, so all the grain was in his hands. "
what?
really?These monks are too bad.
In vain, I always thought it was a great virtuous monk who went to the temple to worship Buddha and offer incense every month. I didn't expect it to be so human.
The scene suddenly became chaotic, and the common people all pointed at these monks and began to curse.
boom!
With another sound, Cheng Yaojin kicked another monk, "Tell me, how much money is there for sesame oil in the temple, and where did it all go?"
The monk's face was ashen, and he hesitated when he looked at the abbot who kept threatening him with his eyes, but seeing Cheng Yaojin's ferocious look, and remembering the tragedy of many senior brothers in the temple before, he couldn't care less about other things, saving his life was the most important thing.
"There are 110 million incense sticks in the temple today, all donated by pilgrims in Chang'an City over the years, and the money earned by the property under our name.
Especially in the past few years, there are more and more wealthy people in Chang'an City. Many noble people spend a lot of money. When the sesame oil money was the most, it reached about 200 million guan. However, we have been buying properties and bought a lot of land in other state roads. industry and so on.
Not long ago, the abbot transferred 80 guan to go out. I don't know what to do with it, but there are rumors that he bought land. "
"What? Buying land? Abbot Wuyin, how dare you lie to this old man?" Xiao Yu suddenly became furious, and she swore to be a guarantor for Wulou Temple, but now it's a good thing, within half an hour, she was slapped in the face on the spot.
At this time, the Wuyin monk was already slumped on the ground, with a miserable face, knowing that today's test would not be passed.
"Marquis of Lantian, we are willing to hand over the extra land. In addition, the imperial court requires us to pay grain tax, which will not be less. I implore Marquis of Lantian and His Majesty to forgive me for my momentary confusion in Wulou Temple."
The soundless old abbot bowed his head and said to Bai Fan.
Bai Fan chuckled and said, "Old monk, are you giving up now? Don't worry, General Cheng's performance is really wonderful, I still have a part here.
Didn't you say that we are in a dispute between Buddhism and Taoism, and today we are going to discuss the Dharma?Then let's talk about this Buddha Dharma? "
"Marquis Lantian, don't persecute me too much. I just occupied some land and greedy some money. I have never done harm to the people. The crime is not worthy of death. Why do I have to suffer so much?" Silent tone already contained a hint of pleading.
It was not enough for Cheng Yaojin to slash Wulou Temple fatally, Bai Fan wanted to do another one, but the old monk had no choice.
The group of apprentices behind also saw that today was not a good day, and the senior brothers staying behind in the temple didn't know what was going on. Looking at the miserable appearance of the row kneeling on the ground, I'm afraid the others will not end well, and they might have already been beheaded. up.
Some of these dozens of disciples were still rejoicing that they followed the abbot out to welcome the guests and did not have to be captured by that vicious general.
But the monks who are sensible and know the inside story are all pale. Whether what they did was good or bad, or whether it was evil, everyone knew in their hearts that if the abbot couldn't hold on, Wulou Temple might be wiped out today.
The little monk Lingzhen quietly tugged at the sleeve of the presiding brother, the monk Lingkong, and said in a low voice: "Brother, this is the punishment for breaking the precepts. The Buddha really did not lie. I just told the master that you are greedy for land acquisition." Already infected with corruption, the retribution came so quickly."
All the older monks around were speechless, what is this little junior brother doing?Is it stupid?Why are you still discussing Buddhism at this time? Those who don’t know think you are just reading a joke and making sarcastic remarks.
"Junior brother, don't talk nonsense." Ling Kong turned around and scolded.
Who knew that these words were verbatim, and Bai Fan heard them all. Seeing the rare Wulou Temple and a sensible person, he pointed his hand and said with a smile: "I think this little monk is right, There is a large group of people in Wulou Temple, most of them are mediocre people, they are not as good as a young monk who knows right from wrong, good from evil.
Little monk, what's your name?How about coming out and telling everyone what bad things your master and senior brothers have done? "
Bai Fan's appearance at this time is almost like a strange uncle who kidnaps children with a lollipop.
Photographed by Bai Fan's power, although the group of monks wanted to stop them, no one dared to show their heads, because for some reason, it seemed that their whole body was locked, and their bodies were a little disobedient, as if as long as they dared to speak, they would scream loudly. It's like disaster is imminent.
The little monk was also bold, he stood up and said generously: "Amitabha, the little monk's Dharma name is Lingzhen.
A few days ago, Senior Brother Ling Kong, who presided over the land, collected a lot of land. Seeing that he was overjoyed, the young monk got greedy and collected more and more land. I don't know why the master didn't stop him, but encouraged him instead.
The Buddha said that Buddhist disciples should have no desires and demands, and get rid of the three poisons of greed, hatred and ignorance, otherwise there will be disasters. It is true. Today you are here to arrest the senior brother. "
Bai Fan laughed and said, "Young monk is proficient in Buddhist scriptures. Not only will I arrest your senior brother, even your master will not be able to escape. He is more sinful than your senior brother."
"Why? Senior brother violated the precepts. You arrested him as a retribution from Buddhism. Master, he..."
Speaking of this, the little monk immediately let out a surprise and covered his mouth. Bai Fan knew that this was the little monk thinking of it, and he was really smart.
The common people also applauded one after another, saying that the little monk said well, it is a good job to help the manager or not to help the relatives!
"When he didn't enter the Taoist sect in his early years, he heard a saying about the difference between Buddhism and Taoism.
In troubled times, monks close their doors to avoid disaster, and Taoist priests go down the mountain to save people.
In the prosperous age, Taoist priests retreated to live in seclusion, and monks opened their doors to collect money.
In the past, I thought it was just a biased term for the dispute between Buddhism and Taoism, but seeing it today, hehe, Wulou Temple is the proof. "
"Nonsense, Bai Fan, don't think that you have the upper hand at this time and want to use this to suppress Buddhism."
"Ziyang, the leader of my Taoist sect, single-handedly taught the peerless powerful Chu king Li Yuanba, and opened up the territory for the Great Tang to calm the troubled times. Isn't it considered a great achievement?
Daoist Sun Simiao, known as the living god in the world, has traveled all over the world for decades, hanging pots to help the world, who doesn't know?
Senior Brother Yuan Tiangang assisted His Majesty in surveying the astrology and predicting major events. If Senior Brother Yuan hadn't discovered the last severe drought, how many living people would there be in the North?
Immortal food was transported by the Yangtze River and met with robbers. The three thousand guardians of the Daomen gave up their lives to save them, and almost died and injured them.
And what did you guys do?Sophistry useful?This pile of food is ironclad proof! "
Bai Fan's words were resounding, every sentence touched the hearts of the common people, even many veteran officials cheered, Xiao Yu had already walked down without knowing it, turned around and stood beside Pei Ji.
