Mind reading, the emperor saw my fist hard

[There is nothing wrong with this, these people are rich. ]

[The problem is that those big monks deceived those small farmers who didn't have many acres of land into donating their land to the Buddhist temples, hoping that they would be reborn into a wealthy family in the next life.]

[This is a lie! ]

[If you can be reborn into a rich family by paying some money, then what is the use of the King of Hell? 】

"Plop!"

Xinwu Hou could no longer hold on, and he knelt down in the hall, shouting to Emperor Xuan: "Your Majesty, my wife was cheated of 5000 taels of silver by Daxiong Temple. Please help me."

An Xiang: You are such a cunning person, I let you get there first.

"Plop!"

An Xiang also knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, that big Buddhist temple has deceived people in this life. My wife has been cheated out of a lot of money."

Baiguan: Aren’t you treacherous?

"Plop!"

"Plop!"

"Plop!"

·······

A series of kneeling sounds woke up Xu Jinyu who was addicted to eating melons.

When he looked up, almost everyone in the court room knelt down, which made Xu Jinyu, who was standing, stand out particularly.

"Plop!"

Xu Jinyu also knelt down. It was always right to follow the crowd.

[What's wrong with this emperor? He frightened these people to their knees. ]

Emperor Xuan paused. It was a familiar tone, so choking.

However, Emperor Xuan did not clench his fists this time. As long as Xu Jinyu could provide him with information like the Big Buddha Temple, he, a wise ruler, would not mind supporting Xu Jinyu.

As long as my country of Daqian is prosperous and the people are safe, I will be a wise ruler throughout the ages.

What's the big deal if I get scolded a few times?

Emperor Xuan was already very familiar with the way of comforting himself, but his expression was still not looking good.

Emperor Xuan winked at Eunuch Liu, who retreated quietly.

All the officials knelt down obediently awaiting Emperor Xuan's decision, and there was no sound in the entire court room.

【What happened? 】

Xu Jinyu knelt for a long time until his knees were sore.

This atmosphere made her dare not ask the people around her, so she could only mutter to herself,

[This emperor is really good at speaking up. Why is he so silent? Is he trying to show off his imperial majesty? ]

[No! The majesty of an emperor is something that is gained through action, not through fear.]

[You should be so powerful without even getting angry that those officials who have done bad things will feel weak in the knees when they see you...]

Blah, blah...

Officials: My ancestor! Shut up and stop adding fuel to the fire.

Zi Shuyan: Just get used to it.

Emperor Xuan: My fist is hard again. Xu Jinyu deserves a beating as always.

[How long do I have to kneel down? Someone, please save my knees~~~]

[Or maybe Emperor Xuan should faint from anger, so that everyone can get up. ]

Xu Jinyu was so bored that she almost started singing.

The veins on Emperor Xuan's forehead were throbbing, and he was on the verge of going berserk.

The officials knelt down and bowed even lower.

"Dong dong dong!"

There was a sound of footsteps, and Xu Jinyu's thoughts stopped.

All the officials breathed a sigh of relief, and Lord Xu's voice finally stopped.

An inner guard walked in quickly and whispered something in Emperor Xuan's ear.

The anger on Emperor Xuan's face faded, and he ordered, "Prince, the Daxiong Temple in the city has deceived the people into donating land and money. Go and investigate it."

"Xu Jinyu assisted."

[What does it have to do with me? Do you want me to count the money? I'm busy. ]

Xu Jinyu’s disdain shouldn’t be too obvious.

[But the internal security is really powerful. I just reported it, and they have already found out everything. They must have found out everything in advance, and then found an excuse to explode.]

Xu Jinyu thought with some pride,

[I have watched many political dramas. Does this mean that the inner guards really know what color the underwear you are wearing?]

The inner guard who was pretending to report the situation to Emperor Xuan shook his head frantically.

"We don't know. We don't know. This is all your fault. We are all actors."

Emperor Xuan almost couldn't hold back the anger on his face and laughed. He just ignored Xu Jinyu. He was in a good mood right now, so he didn't bother with Xu Jinyu.

"Ge Qianfang!"

"I'm here!" The commander of the Royal Guards stood up.

"You are to take 10,000 guards to surround all Buddhist and Taoist temples near the capital, and strictly check the certificates of ordination. All monks and Taoists without certificates will be detained."

"Investigate the property of the temples and Taoist temples and wait for the prince to collect them."

"Yes!"

Ge Qianfang agreed very loudly, as this kind of house-confiscation work was the easiest to do.

Their guards can also get some benefits by the way.

"The Ministry of Revenue will follow the Crown Prince's lead first." Emperor Xuan gave the order casually.

The Minister of Revenue's eyes lit up, and he ran to Xu Jinyu and warned him: "Master Xu, you must keep a close eye on the gold and silver seized from the Big Buddha Temple. They belong to our Ministry of Revenue, the Ministry of Revenue!"

"Remember, you are the head of our Ministry of Revenue, so you must be on our side."

The Minister of Revenue emphasized every word to Xu Jinyu.

“Yes, yes.”

Xu Jinyu nodded randomly, his mind already on the money that overflowed from the warehouse of Daxiong Temple.

The morning in the capital city is very lively. Peddlers and hawkers start to make a living, shops and the like start to open for business, and the road leading to Daxiong Temple is even more lively.

As the largest Buddhist temple in the capital, Daxiong Temple is visited by numerous people who come to burn incense and visit every day.

This gave rise to the prosperity of the entire street outside the Daxiong Temple, and the people on this street made their living on the pilgrims from the Daxiong Temple.

The shopkeeper of Wenxiangju opened the door as usual and prepared to do business. The next moment, the sound of horse hooves came from the street, followed by the sound of orderly footsteps.

The shopkeeper's face suddenly changed and he slapped the waiter who was opening the door.

Close the half-open door, leaving only a small gap so that you can observe the situation outside.

The waiter was pushed away by the shopkeeper and asked the shopkeeper in confusion: "Shopkeeper, what's wrong?"

"Shh!"

The shopkeeper put his finger in front of his mouth, signaling the waiter to keep his voice down.

"They are the Royal Guards. There are quite a few of them. Something must have happened."

"What happened?"

The guy just came from out of town and is curious about everything.

"Do you know what happened the last time the Guards were deployed?"

The guy shook his head.

"Last time the Imperial Guards were dispatched, they uncovered the Xizhou governor's illegal gold mining. This time, the incident is definitely not going to be a small one."

The shopkeeper spoke quietly to the waiter to ease his nervousness, while observing the situation outside through the crack in the door.

Soon, the team of guards swept over like a gust of wind.

The shopkeeper was startled, closed the door gently and stepped back.

He saw that the person leading the team was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. The shopkeeper had gone to see the Crown Prince when he returned to the city a few days ago, so he knew the Crown Prince.

This matter is not trivial. As a small shopkeeper, it is better for him not to know anything.
