- The unlucky Monk Mingxin was killed by whom and for what reason. In the end, Wukong still didn't find out the reason. It¡¯s not that Monk Xing and the others are so awesome that they don¡¯t confess, but that they really can¡¯t do it!
In fact, Monk Mingxing and the others among the monks in Qiling Temple have never been considered direct descendants or insiders. To put it nicely, they are allies with Monk Wei Na Zhiming of Qiling Temple. They are manufacturers. Monk Zhiming is the distributor. To put it bluntly, they are robbers, while Monk Zhiming is the relevant department who does not know the truth.
No matter in any way, they are not actually a family. It is good for them to know some gossip about Jiumo Ci and Zhiming. How can others let them know the real specific things.
"Xiao Langjun, do you want to tell the other masters about the current situation?" Brother Gui Che is still pretending to be cool, so the person who said this was the bow of the ship that followed Wukong along the way. Son. "We promise to send the news directly to those masters"
"No need!" Wukong refused without even thinking about it, "Xiao Na, I don't plan to let those brothers get involved in Yangzhou's matter this time. Xiao Na, I and you are enough!"
Yes, it is indeed enough! Wukong calculated in his mind. Originally, the number of Dong Luoli's father's men that Brother Wenli had summoned already exceeded 3,000. Now, including the team that has been expanded in recent years to sell smuggled salt, there are a total of 5,000 or 6,000 men. .
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Not to mention cleaning up a monastery that harbors evil and evil practices, even if Wukong wants to be like Fu Gongyou and Zuo Youxian and rebel against Shenma, that's enough for the time being.
Therefore, for Wukong, killing these monks is not a problem, but when killing them, it is best not to damage the image of Zen. That¡¯s the problem, and it¡¯s a very troublesome problem!
"Then what should we do now?" The captain glanced at Brother Gui Che and asked again, "Are these people brought by Mr. Qiu and others going back temporarily, or"
"Let the brothers go to Yangzhou first!" Wukong replied without hesitation, "We will eat, drink and have fun all at once. I'll treat you, Xiaoji. Brother Gui Che, you will be responsible for leading the team. How about it?"
"Is something wrong?" Brother Gui Che asked a key question!
"That's right!" Wukong replied happily, "The situation in Yangzhou is worse than I originally expected. I don't have enough manpower now, so"
"Okay!" Brother Gui Che was so happy that he agreed quickly before Wukong finished speaking!
"Tell the brothers, this time we will go on a trip. I will reimburse you for all your expenses in Yangzhou, even the prostitutes in the brothels!" Brother Gui Che said happily. Wukong was also generous and patted his chest, "Don't worry, everyone!"
"Xiao Langjun, have you already thought about what to do?" The captain asked a crucial question!
"To be honest" Wukong spread his hands with a depressed look on his face, "Not at all! Originally, my idea was to design a fallen monk boss and a group of monk soldiers in Qiling Temple. But now I didn¡¯t expect that there would be three bosses and a bunch of miscellaneous soldiers, eh. The plan has been a little behind the times!¡±
"This" Seeing that Wukong was so depressed, the captain felt that he needed to comfort his future uncle, but before he could say anything, he saw that Wukong had turned his face, and his whole person became energetic again!
"Forget it, it's a crazy plan. It's just for modification!" Wukong threw his original plan aside without any sense of responsibility, "Anyway, according to Zhixing's original words, my plan is We can never keep up with the changes in things! But it doesn¡¯t matter, we are strong enough anyway, just think of a suitable way to crush them!"
""
Just when Wukong was laying an ambush on the canal to take down these violent monks who were part-time bandits, a fat, masked man with a strange expression and wearing a gray robe was hiding himself. He slipped into an alley like a rat crossing the street. After double-checking that no one was following him, he finally reached out and gently knocked on a door on the side of the alley with a strange frequency. !
The door creaked open. Standing behind the door is a young man with a pale face and gorgeous clothes!
"You are late" the young man said in a mocking tone, "Commander Zuo and others have been waiting for you for a long time, Master Zhiming!"
"I know, I know!" The masked man in gray robes pulled off his mask and wiped his sweat with his sleeves, revealing the chubby face of the wise monk, "But the old monk has a reason!"
"You"Of course there is a reason" The young man continued, "When Zuo Military Advisor planned to raise troops to respond to the General Manager, didn't you finally have a reason? Later, when Zuo Military Advisor planned to stand on his own with the Second General Manager, didn't you still have a reason? ? When did you have no reason? "
Even though he was ridiculed by this young man, Master Zhiming still showed no sign of being angry at all. "Gang Leader Xiao, you have to know that I, old monk, am really"
"Okay, I'm too lazy to listen to your explanation!" The young man, Xiao Liang, the leader of the Baling Gang, sneered, then closed the door and moved his hand towards the room, "Master Zhiming, you'd better hurry up go in!"
The great monk Zhiming nodded and bowed in agreement, and followed Xiao Liang in!
Although this courtyard looks very rundown from the outside, once you walk in, you will find that there is something special inside the courtyard. From the furnishings of the house to the courtyard, they are all very exquisite.
However, at this time, the great monk Zhiming was obviously not in the mood to appreciate the scenery in the courtyard. As he walked, he said to Xiao Liang in a panic, "Brother Xiao, this time Military Master Zuo is so anxious to call the old monk over. Why? What is it for?"
"This" A sneer appeared at the corner of Xiao Liang's mouth, "Master Zhiming, didn't you understand it after you entered?"
Finding that he could not find out anything at all, the great monk Zhiming could only continue to follow Xiao Liang into the hall of the courtyard. At this time, there were already dozens of tables placed in the hall. When the great monk Zhiming came in, he found that only two of these tables were empty.
Great Monk Zhiming¡¯s eyes passed over the people present. He knew most of them, and they were basically from Yangzhou. There are also some well-known tycoons near Yangzhou,
"Master Zhiming," Zuo Youxian, who was sitting in the main seat, stretched out his hand towards the great monk Zhiming after seeing him come in, "Come, please take a seat!"
"There is no place for an old monk to sit in front of Zuo Junshi!" Monk Zhiming quickly declined.
"You're welcome, Master Zhiming, please feel free to sit down!" Zuo Youxian showed what he thought was a kind smile, but this smile was reflected in the light. Instead, he looked a little ferocious, which immediately startled the great monk Zhiming, who was still worried.
"No, no" Monk Zhiming replied in a panicked tone, "Old monk, I can just sit down at the bottom!"
"If someone asks you to sit in the seat, then sit in the seat!" Zuo Youxian was finally irritated by the chirping monk Zhiming, "Don't talk nonsense!"
"Yes, yes!" Monk Zhiming, who was holding back and retreating, saw that Zuo Youxian was getting angry, so he obediently ran to the seat of honor and sat down.
"Okay, everyone is here now!" Zuo Youxian snorted and said in a high-pitched voice after seeing Monk Zhiming sitting on the upper seat. "Then let's officially have the meeting now!"
Zuo Youxian paused for a moment, then circled the people in the hall with his eyes, and then continued, "First of all, I have some very bad news to tell you, the money that you can all share this month , it has to be reduced by another 30%"
Before Zuo Youxian could finish his words, he saw that the people below had exploded with a bang.
"Why do you want to reduce it again?"
"Last month it was reduced by 20%. This month it will be reduced by 30%. Do you still have to live?"
"Commander Zuo, I think you need to explain to us"
The great monk Zhiming shrank his neck and didn¡¯t say a word, because this matter really had nothing to do with him! Of course, this so-called 30% reduction. He did know about things like a 20% reduction. It seemed that Zuo Youxian, the Zuo Military Advisor, contributed his efforts, and the big tycoons below contributed money, and then worked together to make money.
????????????????? I know, I know, but he has never planned to form a partnership with Zuo Youxian. Is he, Monk Zhiming, short of money?
"Quiet, quiet!" Zuo Youxian shook the whisk in his hand, "There is a reason for this!"
"Last month you said there was a reason!" A bearded man below continued unceremoniously, "When did you not have a reason?"
With a puff, the great monk Zhiming couldn¡¯t help but laugh out loud! But then he saw that all the people present had turned their faces and stared at him fiercely!
The great monk Zhiming was startled. He quickly lowered his head and pretended to be serious!
"Zuo Junshi" After seeing Monk Zhiming lower his head, the attention of these powerful people once again focused on Zuo Youxian, "Give us an explanation!"
"Don't you all know the reason?" Zuo Youxian made a helpless expression, "Because of the ban on the sale of slaves!"
This ban on the sale of slaves and maidservants has been heard by the great monk Zhiming to some extent. It was promulgated by the new governor of Yangzhou, Warrior Yu, two or three months ago. The main content is that in the future, all sales of slaves and maidservants will be prohibited, unless there are Only official deeds can be traded.
In fact, what the great monk Zhiming didn¡¯t know was that this ban was not the intention of the warrior Yu himself, but the intention of His Majesty Li Shimin. The central idea was for one thing, a census!
In this era, creatures such as slaves and family-born children, as mentioned before, can be equated with things like mules and horses, but they cannot be included in the category of humans. In the Tang Dynasty, the only human beings in the legal sense were royalty, nobles, and good people, while slaves, slaves, and bitches could only be regarded as humanoid intelligent creatures in the laws of the Tang Dynasty!
But now, because the troubled times have just ended, everything is in short supply, and the servants of those wealthy families have no household registration and do not pay taxes. His Majesty Li Shimin will naturally be unhappy when he sees this!
As a result, this bill prohibiting the private sale of slaves was promulgated. If you want to buy and sell people, you can. You must first take the person you want to sell to the court to register. After selling, you have to go to the court. Tax!
Of course, as the saying goes, there are policies from above and countermeasures from below. In fact, the ban imposed by His Majesty Li Shimin cannot be said to be in name only in most areas, but it is different in other places!
For example, Yangzhou, Yangzhou, Yangzhou!
There is no way. It doesn't matter if officials from other prefectures and counties are more relaxed in their investigation, but the warrior Yi is different. He is a highly moral minister and a loyal fan of His Majesty Li Yuan. If he can't even catch the things that His Majesty Li Shimin personally caught. If it doesn't work well. The nature is completely different!
"If other officials can't do their job well, it's a matter of ability!" But if he can't do it well as a warrior, it's a matter of attitude!
Tell me, warrior, are you resentful because His Majesty released you? You deliberately came here to make trouble with His Majesty, intending to drag the Tang Dynasty back and dig into the Tang Dynasty. You are trying to destroy the Tang Dynasty Well, your Majesty Li Er¡¯s heart will never die!
If you really want to pull this off. He, the warrior, really didn¡¯t even have a place to cry!
"What, you said that His Majesty Li Er is a wise king and it is absolutely impossible for him to do this?" Well, first go and see how Wukong's poor brother Lu Zushang died? Then let¡¯s look at the fate of Brother Pei Ji, the close comrade of Samurai Yi, now?
"Your Majesty Li Er won't do this?" If he can't do this, he is not His Majesty Li Er!
When these powerful people started arguing with Zuo Youxian, the great monk Zhiming was still in a daze. To be honest, he really didn¡¯t know. How could this so-called ban on private trading of slaves be linked to Zuo Youxian and his family's great fortune!
"Everyone, this is what's happening now!" Zuo Youxian stroked his beard with his hand and said angrily, "Now we have more and more goods in stock, but we can't sell them. If you If you want to split the money, you have to find a solution!¡±
After hearing what Zuo Youxian said, the big guys here looked at me and I looked at you, and they all fell silent!
This ban is difficult to say, but if it really needs to be solved, there are two ways, first. Of course, His Majesty Li Er gave up this ban himself. The second is to ask Yangzhou officials not to investigate so strictly if they violate the rules!
It goes without saying that the first one is that none of you who are doing it have this ability, not to mention that they can't even see the emperor's face, even if they are unlucky enough to see His Majesty Li Er. Could it be that they can still make His Majesty Li Er withdraw his ban and slap himself in the face?
The expression is off, not to mention these losers here, even the former emperor Li Yuan doesn¡¯t have this ability now!
If the first road doesn't work, then we have to take the second road. But the problem is that it is okay for the current Yangzhou Governor, Warrior Yan, to neglect other matters, but His Majesty Li Shimin has just issued an order a few months ago. He This old minister of military virtue would never have the guts to ignore it!
"How about, Commander Zuo, let's sell the goods to other states and counties?" A wealthy man put forward a more reliable suggestion.
¡°Sold to other states and counties?¡± Another wealthy man said sarcastically, ¡°Where do you think they were sold to?¡±
"Luoyang and Chang'an are both fine!" The person who made the suggestion continued, "If not, Jinling, Qiantang, and Hangzhou can also be considered!"
"What are you considering?" It was the big man who still spoke in a sarcastic voice, "What nonsense?"What an idea! "
"What did you say?" The big man was angry!
"I said your idea was nonsense" Another wealthy man was not a light-hearted person either. "Why, aren't you convinced?"
"Okay, okay, both of you must give in to each other!" At this time, the leader of the Baling Gang, Xiao Liangxiao, stood up, "Actually, selling to other prefectures and counties is indeed a good idea"
The Dahao who put forward this opinion snorted proudly at the other person!
"But the problem is that we are not familiar with other areas in other prefectures and counties. The inspections in those places may be relatively loose, but they have no relationship with us. If they really arrest us and confiscate the goods, there is nothing we can do. "Xiao Liang then gave an example, "Some time ago, our Baling Gang's sub-rudder in Jiangzhou was smashed, and many of the brothers sent to Jiangzhou were killed and injured, but the prefecture and county government offices in Jiangzhou were destroyed. It¡¯s like you didn¡¯t see it!¡±
This time it was another big man who proudly snorted at the big man who made the suggestion!
"Okay, okay!" Zuo Youxian came out to smooth things over, "There's no need to talk about selling to other places. No matter how strict Yangzhou's inspections are now, we can't be detained or arrested. People, so there won¡¯t be any mistakes, but if you take the goods to other places. What if"
Zuo Youxian glanced around meaningfully, "We will lose all our money!" As soon as these words came out, everyone present immediately calmed down.
"Then, Commander Zuo, what do you think we should do?" the big man who made the suggestion asked.
"Let me tell you" Zuo Youxian glanced around again and answered decisively, "We must deal with Samurai Yu!"
"Alas!" After hearing this, Xiao Liang immediately looked embarrassed, "We also know that we must get rid of Samurai Yan, but the problem is that he has no money and salt. No matter whether we give him gifts or something, he No matter what, what do you think we should do, Commander Zuo?"
"Of course he won't accept it!" Zuo Youxian sneered, "He is now a thorn in His Majesty's side and a thorn in his flesh. As long as there is one oversight, Your Majesty will not let him go. In this case, how can he dare to accept it?" Your bribe!"
"That's it!" Xiao Liang immediately continued, "Then what should we do!"
By this time, the great monk Zhiming had already figured it out. Zuo Youxian and Xiao Liang were completely harmonious with each other, but he didn't say it out loud. Anyway, this selling thing had nothing to do with him!
"If you want to follow someone's wishes" Zuo Youxian lowered his voice and said to these people, "We must kill Samurai Yu!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone present immediately took a breath of cold air!
It¡¯s really simple to say kill the samurai Yu, but the question is who the samurai Yu is. He is the Grand Governor of Yangzhou. He leads the army on horseback and manages government affairs on horseback. He is the number one person in Yangzhou!
How could it be so easy to kill him?
"Commander Zuo, how are we going to kill Samurai Yan!" Xiao Liang, the flattering figure, appeared again. I asked the thoughts of these people here.
"This matter depends on our Master Zhi Ming!" At this time, Zuo Youxian waved his hand, and the key figure made his debut!
"Uh" Monk Zhiming, who had been watching the fun, was stunned. How could he have his own business? Have you made a mistake? You make your money. What does it have to do with me, the old monk? This whole thing has nothing to do with me, the old monk!
"Commander Zuo?" Monk Zhiming asked in confusion, "What did you just say?"
"Someone said that the matter of killing Samurai Yi depends entirely on you, Master!" Zuo Youxian showed a sinister smile, "Samurai Yi believes in Buddha, so the only way to kill him is to rely on Master. is you!"
"I, killed the samurai Governor Yu?" Monk Zhiming couldn't believe his ears, "How is this possible?"
"How is it impossible?" Zuo Youxian continued, "Aren't you guys holding a Dharma gathering recently? As long as you take the opportunity to poison him during the Dharma gathering, wouldn't everything be solved?"
"There is a Dharma conference now, but as an old monk, it is impossible for him to get close to the warrior Governor Yu, let alone poison him." Monk Zhiming shook his hands quickly, "This is impossible, it is really impossible! "
"It doesn't matter!" Zuo Youxian continued, "I have received reliable information. When your dharma meeting ends, that is, in the middle of next month, Samurai Yi will go to Qiling Temple in person to congratulate you. When you get there, You can do it again when the time comes!¡±
"But the old monk is a monk and cannot kill anyone" Zhi??The monk replied in a weak tone.
"Monks, don't kill people?" Hearing what Monk Zhiming said, Zuo Youxian sneered, "Would you like me to remind you how the previous head of Qiling Temple, Monk Mingxin, died? He doesn't kill people. Fate, haven¡¯t you ever done anything to kill a living person?¡±
"But" Master Zhiming replied sadly and angrily, "That was done by your people, Military Advisor Zuo!"
Snapped!
Zuo Youxian slapped the case and stood up, "Zhiming, you bald donkey, you still have the nerve to say that it was my people who did it! Then tell me, why did my people do it? At that time, the man who was wearing black clothes and covering his face handed Ming Xin Who was the person that the old monk stabbed to death?"
After seeing Zuo Youxian harden, Monk Zhiming softened again, "But that's just"
"Don't talk nonsense, if you don't do it!" Zuo Youxian stared at the great monk Zhiming coldly, "I will ruin your reputation. I, Zuo Youxian, can't follow up on my words. If you don't believe it, you can come here Try it!¡±
"I" Monk Zhiming hesitated for a long time, then softened, "I'll just do it!"
ps: It¡¯s late again today, because the wind blows to the amusement park. This is entirely because of the plot jam, so I have no choice but to go out to collect the scenery. Yes, it¡¯s just collecting the scenery. People don¡¯t go out to play by themselves! - Didn't finish reading?
