The poorest member of the Imperial Guard, the Empress begged me to embezzle.

"I will handle this child."

You don't need to pay any more attention to it.

Wang Hao pondered for a moment, then looked at Lu Chengfeng and said, "You can't make any more moves, lest Chu Xiu find any leverage against you."

If he dared to attack Kong Yuancheng, he dared to attack you!

This young man acts recklessly and disregards any notion of insubordination.

"My lord, can't we make a fuss about Kong Yuancheng's death?"

Lu Chengfeng asked in a low voice.

"No."

Wang Hao shook his head and said, "You don't need to think about this problem. Kong Yuancheng's evidence is conclusive. He died at Chu Xiu's hands, and he can only accept his fate."

Moreover, His Majesty has shown Chu Xiu immense favor; how could he possibly punish Chu Xiu for such a trivial matter?

Lu Chengfeng nodded slightly and said, "This humble official understands."

Wang Hao picked up the teacup in front of him and began to drink tea.

Seeing Wang Hao serve tea, Lu Chengfeng understood and said, "My lord, then I shall take my leave."

Wang Hao nodded slightly but did not speak.

Lu Chengfeng kept his head down and back bent, his buttocks sticking out, as he retreated towards the exit of the hall.

Only after leaving the hall did he straighten his back, his face showing an air of authority, displaying the dignity befitting a commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, and strode away.

After watching Lu Chengfeng leave, Wang Hao put down his teacup, frowned and said, "The Seven Killings Organization may not be reliable!"

If they were reliable, they wouldn't have failed one after another!

We can send someone to the Seven Killings Organization to urge them on, but we can't rely on them entirely!

After a pause, a glint of light flashed in Wang Hao's eyes, and he said, "Guards!"

Jiang Xin, the steward of the Vice Minister of Rites' residence, entered and bowed to Wang Hao, saying, "Greetings, Master."

"No need for such formalities, Elder Jiang."

Wang Hao waved his hand and said to Jiang Xin.

Jiang Xin was the old steward of the Wang family in Taiyuan. He was an old man who served his father, Wang Yang, the head of the Wang family in Taiyuan. It can be said that he watched Wang Hao grow up.

As an old man by Wang Yang's side, this man is the number one expert of the entire Taiyuan Wang clan in the capital!

Even Wang Hao's strength is nothing compared to Jiang Xin's.

"Thank you, sir."

Jiang Xin thanked Wang Hao and said...

"Elder Jiang, send someone to urge the Seven Killings Organization to deal with Chu Xiu as soon as possible!"

"Chu Xiu has seriously threatened the interests of our Taiyuan Wang clan."

"Even though the Embroidered Uniform Guard has declined, we must not allow it to be lost in the hands of the Wang family of Taiyuan!"

Wang Hao said with a serious expression.

"Old slave understands."

Jiang Xin understood immediately and said...

In reality, given the current strength of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, the Wang family of Taiyuan might not even look down on them.

But no matter what, in everyone's eyes, the Embroidered Uniform Guard belonged to the Wang family of Taiyuan.

If the Embroidered Uniform Guard were lost from the Wang family of Taiyuan, everyone would think that the Wang family of Taiyuan had already declined!

This is extremely disadvantageous for the Wang family of Taiyuan!

"Besides that, go to the Great Buddha Temple and see the abbot!"

"Hasn't the Great Buddha Temple always wanted to attach itself to the Wang family of Taiyuan?"

"I'll give Dafosi Temple a chance!"

Wang Hao said calmly, "The price is that you have to help us eliminate Chu Xiu!"

Even though Wang Hao wanted to get rid of Chu Xiu, he never thought of using the power of the Taiyuan Wang clan.

As one of the five surnames and seven prominent families, the Taiyuan Wang clan had too many people who wanted to attach themselves to them and seek refuge with them.

There was absolutely no need to mobilize the Taiyuan Wang family's own resources!

"This old servant obeys!"

Jiang Xin's expression turned serious, and he spoke in a firm and resonant voice.

After a cup of tea.

Fufeng County, Dafosi Temple.

The entire Dafosi Temple covers an area of ​​over several hundred acres, with numerous temples and a thriving incense offering ceremony, clearly a true Buddhist holy site.

Suddenly!

A figure appeared deep within the Great Buddha Temple, outside a meditation room.

This figure was none other than Jiang Xin.

"Amitabha Buddha, well said, well said..."

"I am deeply sorry for not welcoming you properly, esteemed guest."

An aged voice rang out from the meditation room.

then!

The door to the meditation room slowly opened.

An elderly monk, dressed in a gray robe, who looked to be in his eighties or nineties, with white eyebrows and beard, kind eyes and a compassionate air, walked out of the meditation room.

"You're too kind, Master Yuan."

Jiang Xin cupped his hands in greeting to Zen Master Yuanxin and said with a smile.

Although the Great Buddha Temple was not considered anything special in the entire Great Zhou Dynasty, it was one of the two major Buddhist temples in Sizhou.

Since he wanted Dafosi Temple to do things, he naturally had to give Zen Master Yuanxin face.

"I wonder what brings you here today, esteemed guest?"

Zen Master Yuanxin said with a compassionate expression.

"My husband wants to ask Abbot Yuanxin of Dafosi Temple for a small favor."

"I wonder if the host of Yuanxin is willing?"

Jiang Xin looked at Zen Master Yuanxin with a calm expression and said.

"Amitabha, it is an honor for our Great Buddha Temple to be able to serve Lord Wang Hao."

Zen Master Yuanxin said with a serious expression.

"With Yuanxin presiding over this, my husband can rest assured."

Jiang Xin said with a smile.

"What does Lord Wang Hao wish our Great Buddha Temple to do?"

Zen Master Yuanxin didn't stand on ceremony with Jiang Xin, but asked him directly.

It's clear that he had long wanted to board the big ship of the Wang family of Taiyuan.

He had never had the opportunity before, but now that it had come, he naturally didn't want to miss it.

As long as we get on board the big ship of the Wang family of Taiyuan, not to mention becoming the largest temple in Sizhou, we might even have a chance to become a true Buddhist holy site!

"Kill someone."

"Chu Xiu, Vice Commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard!"

Jiang Xin said, word by word.

"Please rest assured, Lord Wang Hao, this old monk will certainly do it!"

Zen Master Yuanxin said without hesitation.

"Then I'll have to trouble Yuanxin to take charge."

Jiang Xin gave Zen Master Yuanxin a deep look, took a step, and disappeared outside the meditation room.

After watching Jiang Xin leave, Zen Master Yuanxin also disappeared.

Not long after.

Dang, Dang, Dang...

The deep, resonant, solemn bells of the Great Buddha Temple then rang out.

One by one, the old monks emerged from their meditation rooms and disappeared into the direction of the Great Buddha Hall of the Great Buddha Temple.

Every senior monk is the head of a hall and courtyard in the Great Buddha Temple.

One by one, elderly monks, some with kind faces, some with fierce expressions, and some with a detached attitude, appeared in the Great Buddha Hall and bowed to Zen Master Yuanxin, saying, "Greetings, Abbot."

"Fellow disciples, please dispense with the formalities."

Zen Master Yuanxin waved his hand at the assembled old monks and said.

"Thank you for hosting."

The old monks put their hands together and said.

"I have gathered you all here today because there is something I would like to tell you."

With a compassionate expression, Zen Master Yuanxin recounted in detail to the group of old monks the arrival of Jiang Xin, the steward of Wang Hao, the Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Rites.

"Amitabha Buddha, well said, well said..."

"Lord Wang is a high-ranking official in the court, and he is devoted to the people and the world. It is our Great Buddha Temple's duty to execute the Jinyiwei Commander who wants to bring disaster to the world on behalf of Lord Wang."

The emaciated and pale-faced Master Yuanxin, the head monk of the Luohan Hall, who resembled a highly virtuous monk, clasped his hands together, chanted a Buddhist prayer, and said, "We of the Luohan Hall are willing to eliminate demons and protect the righteous path for the sake of all living beings!"
