Neon Clothes and Iron Clothes

Chapter 357
"So those four Miaozhu want to take this opportunity to pull you down from Miaozhu's position, am I right?"

"Mr. Lang is really brilliant!" Cao Yena hurriedly laughed and said, "That's what the villain is worried about!"

"Then what do you want me to do?" Wang Wenzuo said with a sneer, "I'm ugly. If you want me to help you kill those four temples, then don't even think about it! This is Chang'an, and there is a king's law." This place is not a den of bandits!"

"That's natural, that's natural!" Cao Yena quickly laughed and said, "Although the villain is a barbarian, he has moved to the Middle Earth since his great-grandfather, and has admired the wind of the upper country for nearly a hundred years. How could he do such a thing?" Things! Hehe, hehe!"

Wang Wenzuo looked at Cao Ye's twitching fat cheeks, he didn't have the heart to go around with him, and said directly: "If you have anything to say, just tell me, I'm already a little tired!"

"Yes, yes!" Cao Yena nodded again and again: "The villain is thinking, can you temporarily invite the villains, the disciples, to live in a place with beautiful mountains and rivers for a few days!"

"How many days? What do you mean?"

"Mr. Lang, if they are in the temple, it will be inconvenient for villains to do some things. But after a few days when they come back, the overall situation will be settled, and villains will not be afraid of them!" No answer: "Not much, five days, no, three days is enough!"

Hearing this, Wang Wenzuo also had a guess about Cao Yena's plan. It was probably because of his big moves after the riot. It would be inconvenient for him if the other four temples were also there.And if Wang Wenzuo temporarily detains these four people, he can act recklessly, and when the four people come back later, if he blames Cao Yena for his own assertion, Cao Yena can say that so many people came to run on them before, and the situation is urgent. Maybe wait for the four of them to come back before making a decision, and put all the blame on the government and the run-on congregation.

"The four of you have no crimes, why should I put them under house arrest?" Wang Wenzuo sneered.

"Lang Jun, please read!" Cao Yena was obviously prepared, and immediately took out a book from his sleeve. Wang Wenzuo took it and looked at it. It contained all kinds of crimes of his four colleagues in the daily life, from the beating to the book. Killing his own servants, bribing officials, evading taxes, and copying seven or eight pieces of paper, if all of them are true, not to mention house arrest for three or four days, even a capital crime is enough.

"Cao Dongzhu, did you get something wrong!" Wang Wenzuo turned two pages and threw it on the ground casually: "I am the marching Sima of Xiongjin Governor's Mansion, not the master of Jing Zhaoyin. Your old sesame seeds are rotten. I don't care about Gu Zi's affairs!"

Cao Yena picked up the booklet, patted the dust on it, and put it back in his sleeve: "Mr. Don't forget, this is about half of your gold and silver!"

"Half a treasury of gold and silver?" Wang Wenzuo sneered: "It seems that in the eyes of Cao Dongzhu, Wang is a person who regards money as his life!"

"That's not true!" Cao Ye said with a smile: "I just saw what happened to Mr. Cai in front of the temple. Not only are you not a lover of money, you are also a hero who despises money and lovers. But how do you do things in the world?" Do you want to spend money? And the bigger the event, the more money you need to spend, sir, you have great ambitions, so you are naturally short of money!"

Cao Yena's answer made Wang Wenzuo fall into silence, and after a few minutes he stretched out his right hand: "Give me that pamphlet!"

"Here!" Cao Ye was overjoyed, and hurriedly presented the booklet with both hands. Wang Wenzuo took the booklet, called the sergeants waiting outside, and read the names of the four people on it: "You bring two people, invite these four people, Just say that I have something important to discuss with them!"

About half a cup of tea time later, four Hu merchants walked in under the escort of sergeants. Although they tried to calm down, it was not difficult to see the panic in their hearts from their dodging eyes and trembling fingertips, especially when they After seeing Cao Yena's figure, hatred and fear immediately burst out in his eyes.

"The villain pays respects to Wang Sima!" The four said in unison.

"Get up!" Wang Wenzuo stretched out his hand and said, "The four of you are the priests of this Zoroastrian temple, right?"

"That's right, villains are all temple blessings!"

"Very good, I heard that Dongzhu Cao is also the priest of this Zoroastrian temple, so the five of you will handle the affairs of the temple, right?"

The four of them exchanged glances, and the leader replied cautiously: "The five of us are indeed temple blessings, but this Zoroastrian temple is shared by believers in Chang'an and even in Guanzhong, and the five of us are entrusted by believers to handle temple chores! "

"It's just chores?" Wang Wenzuo showed a sarcasm smile: "What kind of chores are there? Can you talk to a certain family?"

"This—" Hu Shang didn't dare to look at Wang Wenzuo, but turned his eyes to Cao Yena who was on the side, but Cao Yena turned his head away and ignored him.

"You should take a look at this booklet first!" Wang Wenzuo smiled, and threw the booklet over casually. Cao Yena shot out the light of hatred.

"Is the thing in this booklet true or false?" Wang Wenzuo asked.

"This is all a false accusation!" The Hu merchant hurriedly said: "The villain has always been law-abiding, why has he committed the crimes of the above?"

"You say these are all fake? Well, what about the other three?"

The other three also flipped through two pages at this time, and when they heard Wang Wenzuo's question, they hurriedly said: "We are also law-abiding people, and all of these are false accusations!"

"Well, since the four of you all said it was false, then I can't blame the good guy, how about this! Let's keep you under surveillance for a few days, and wait until it's cleared up. What do you think?" Wang Wenzuo said with a smile.

The four of them were not fools either. How could they not know that this was a trap set up by the other party? Hu Shang, who was the first to speak just now, took the lead and said: "My lord, we are all registered householders in Chang'an City. Even if you made a mistake, it is Jing Zhaoyin's job, so I don't need to bother you!"

The people next to me also understood, and hurriedly said in unison: "Yes, yes, who owns this booklet, let's go to Jingzhao Yin Yamen tomorrow morning to discuss it!"

"It doesn't need to be tomorrow morning!" Wang Wenzuo said with a smile: "The person who gave me the brochure is right in front of you. Anyway, if you have nothing to do, you five can just argue in front of me!"

Cao Yena was shocked when he heard the words. A moment ago, he was still in high spirits. He felt that he was only one step away from mastering the Chang'an Zoroastrian Temple by himself, but in a blink of an eye, the situation was reversed. Pushed it out, and when he realized it, four colleagues had already surrounded him, their eyes were on fire, and they were looking at him viciously.

"It's really you!"

"You have such a vicious heart, you actually want to take the opportunity to get rid of the four of us, and eat alone!"

"If you do such evil things, Mingzun will not let you go!"

"Dog, I must kill you today!"

"No, no!" Cao Ye took a step back instinctively, and begged Wang Wenzuo, "Your Majesty, save me, Your Majesty, save me!"

"Stop!" Wang Wenzuo sternly shouted, the guard on duty pulled out a steel knife and separated Cao Yena from the other four people. Under the cold blade, the fanatical minds of the four Hu merchants calmed down When they got down, the leader said to Wang Wenzuo: "Mr. Lang, I don't know what this guy promised you? But this is Chang'an, where the king's law is!"

"Of course I know that Chang'an is a place where the king's law exists. Otherwise, I'll kill all of you and push it to those mobs afterwards. Why bother now?" Wang Wenzuo sneered: "As an official, you like to mix and join in your filth?"

The leader Hu Shang heard Wang Wenzuo's implication, and he was overjoyed in his heart, and hurriedly said: "What I taught you is that you should not be involved in a little trivial matter of villains! The former is wrong, act cautiously, manage this Zoroastrian temple well, and will never cause you any more trouble!"

"Yeah!" Wang Wenzuo nodded, and turned his gaze to the other three: "How many of you?"

The three of them hurriedly responded, "So do we!"

"That's good!" Wang Wenzuo showed a smile: "Then how about it, the four of you write an argument first!"

"Submission? What submission?"

"You still want to pretend to be confused?" Wang Wenzuo sneered: "Is the thing in this booklet true or false? Do you want me to send you to Jing Zhaoyin for a closer look?"

Wang Wenzuo's actions confused the four of them, and the leader Hu merchant asked cautiously: "Your Majesty, the villain is stupid, please give me some advice!"

"Isn't that simple? The four of you have two paths right now. One path is not to submit a statement. Then I will send this booklet and the four of you to the yamen at dawn. It depends on Jingzhao how to deal with it." Yin got it; if you write down the matters related to you in this booklet and hand them over to me, then I will let the past go. As long as you are as good as I said before, then you should treat it as nothing, otherwise, Just settle the old and new accounts together, understand?"

Hearing this, the four Hu merchants finally understood what Wang Wenzuo meant. Obviously, the other party wanted to hold him as a trick so that he could manipulate him, but if he didn't write it, he would send himself and the pamphlet to the Yamen. , not to mention the final outcome of the lawsuit, the Zoroastrian Temple will be dominated by Cao Ye alone for at least ten days and a half months. They will also be driven out of the Zoroastrian Temple and lose the right to manage this huge financial source. For these Hu merchants who regard wealth as their life, this result is similar to beheading.

"Will Mr. Fu Bian keep it for himself or give it to that guy?" The Hu merchant pointed to Cao Yena and asked.

"Don't worry about this, you will naturally stay with me!" Wang Wenzuo said: "As long as the four of you are dedicated to goodness, the argument will never be seen by others!"

"Okay, I'll choose to write and argue!" Hu Shang, the leader, answered very resolutely.

"Mr. An, you can't write it!" Hu Shang hurriedly dissuaded him.

"There is nothing to write about!" Hu Shang said, "As long as the argument is in the hands of that gentleman, we have nothing to fear. This booklet must belong to that guy Cao Ye, and he wants to borrow it from this gentleman." Get rid of a few of us by hand, and the reason why this gentleman didn't do this is obviously because he wanted to keep the four of us to restrain Cao Yena, don't you want to take revenge on Cao Yena?"

The three of them exchanged glances and said in unison: "That's right, we'll write too!"

"Okay, come here, get a pen and paper!" Wang Wenzuo said with a smile.

After a while, the soldiers took the pens and paper, and the four Hu merchants quickly finished writing the defense, and then signed and stamped their fingerprints at the end. Wang Wenzuo took it and looked at it. Regarding the matter in the brochure, he smiled: "Cao Yena, come here!"

Cao Yena stood aside, his whole body felt as if he was being stabbed by needles, and he was in a lot of pain. Hearing Wang Wenzuo's voice, he hurried over: "Your Majesty, what are your orders?"

"Look at the four defenses, is there any problem?" Wang Wenzuo smiled and said, "Don't worry, the four of them will not dare to harm you in the future, otherwise, once these four defenses are taken out, all four of them will There is a catastrophe! Isn't it?" His last sentence was addressed to the four people.

"Please don't worry, Mr. Cao Yena. We will definitely help Cao Yena in the future, and we will never hesitate!" The leading Hu merchant said in a low voice. He knew that these four people had formed a death feud with him, and he would never have a good life in the Zoroastrian Temple, but even so, he carefully read the four documents carefully, and finally told Wang Wenzuo He also put forward a few supplementary points, and I don't know how much the four people scolded and cut them in their stomachs.

"Is it all changed?" Wang Wenzuo took the revised service from the four Hu merchants. After confirming that it was correct, he carefully folded it, wrapped it in oilcloth, and carefully put it in his arms: "You four, first Go back! If there is something else, I will send someone to invite you!"

"Yes!" The four of them bowed to Wang Wenzuo before walking backwards out the door.Only Cao Yena and Wang Wenzuo were left in the room, and Wang Wenzuo smiled: "Master Cao, do you have anything else to say?"

"The villain has nothing to say!" Cao Ye's face was full of dejection: "Your Majesty's methods are superb, and the villain can only admire him!"

"Don't dare, your methods are also superb. It's a pity that you misunderstood the wrong person!" Wang Wenzuo said with a smile: "You say that I am not a money lover, but in your heart you still think of me as a money-seeking person like you , I thought Xu Yizhongli could make me lose my mind, but unfortunately you don't understand a truth, what I hate the most is when others use me in some low-level tricks, I will teach you a lesson today, if you still have such It's not that easy!"

"The villain understands, the villain understands!" Cao Yena kowtowed to the ground more than ten times, his face was covered with blood, and he walked backwards out the door. When he got up outside the door, he realized that he was sweating profusely, and his whole body was covered with blood. As if climbing out of the pond, he sighed: "I read in the book that dragons have reverse scales, and if you touch them, you will kill them. Today, I finally understand!"
