Lord Moyu was forced to open

"Let's go! Let's go now!"

Seeing this situation, Su Yu immediately made a decision.

Huang Tiansheng next to him said in astonishment: "Holy girl, we have a total of 300,000 people. Now we are just letting the court have the upper hand temporarily. It's not time to run away yet, right?"

Su Yu glared at him fiercely and snorted: "If Protector Huang is willing to stay, then continue to stay. I will not accompany you anymore.

You still can't see clearly?

Although we have more people than the imperial court, the quality is far behind!

We were too careless, thinking that the imperial court could no longer produce a strong army after being invaded by the Huns. Now it seems that the current imperial army may be stronger than before.

Our 300,000 members are just a ragtag group of people.

It's okay to deal with ordinary armies, but it won't last long against this one!

If you don’t run now, you won’t be able to run away later if you want to! "

After saying this, Su Yu felt that she had done her utmost benevolence, so she immediately no longer hesitated and asked the maid to fetch the horse, got on it and rode away.

Protector Huang from the original place looked back at the field, and he was shocked to see that the official cavalry that had penetrated among the 300,000 religious troops had rushed to the command center, beheading the generals and seizing the flag. The red lotus flag with a black background standing in the center was directly destroyed. The leading young general chopped it down with one strike!

Then he saw with his own eyes that many of his former colleagues were unable to resist being crushed by the opponent's cavalry, and their heads were removed one by one by the enemy!

That move is faster than a butcher killing a chicken!

In the front army, the teaching troops who were already being suppressed and beaten saw that the central army was defeated and the red lotus flag fell down. They instantly lost their fighting spirit and knelt on the ground obediently and raised their hands in surrender.

The other party agreed, and just sent a team of people to rush over. The teaching troops surrendered along the way. Those in the teaching management who did not want to surrender and wanted to bewitched were directly hit by a barrage of crossbows and turned into a hornet's nest!

Seeing this scene, Huang Tiansheng shuddered all over his body. He understood that what his saint said was right. They were just a mob. They would surrender as soon as the command was cold.

Although there are 300,000 people, even 300,000 pigs can beat them.

He quickly escaped on horseback with his men.

In the battlefield, everyone saw that they had almost surrendered. The imperial army began to enter the battlefield and control the battlefield, and batches of believers were unarmed and guarded.

Most of the real managers of the Red Lotus Sect were killed, but two or three were still left alive, who were escorted by Huo Qubing towards the Chinese army's tent.

When they arrived at the Chinese army's tent, Ding Hongguang and a group of generals had been waiting here for a long time.

Huo Qubing escorted the three of them into the tent, kicked them one by one until they fell to their knees, and then he held his hands and said:

"Commander! All the commanders in the enemy formation have been killed. These are the two survivors!

In addition, the general discovered that the saint of the Red Lotus Sect mentioned in the intelligence did not exist in the opponent's army, and he did not know where he was now. "

"Here comes the champion."

Ding Hongguang nodded with satisfaction. He was not surprised that the Red Lotus Saint was not captured. It was unlikely that the other party would send all the top officials to fight. That would be too stupid. It would be normal if Huo Qubing could not catch her.

As for how to obtain the whereabouts of the Red Lotus Saint, aren't there still two prisoners?

Immediately, Ding Hongguang looked at the two people and asked:

“Tell me, where are the saints of your Red Lotus Sect?

And what is the situation in Sunan City now? "

However, what he didn't expect was that the two captured people were actually two tough guys.

As soon as Ding Hongguang finished speaking, the man on the left immediately spat on the ground and said viciously:

"Bah! Dog Officer, don't expect to get any news from the two of us!

If you want to find our saint, go to the next life! "

Another person also echoed: "Yes! In the next life! It is impossible for us to reveal the traces of the saint!"

Ding Hongguang laughed immediately when he heard this. He really didn't believe that there were people with such hard bones. Now he spoke so hard. This was because he had never suffered.

If they really had such backbone, they would have made a fortune long ago!

He said nothing more, waved his hand, and someone immediately took the two people down.

Seeing this, Huo Qubing frowned and immediately cupped his hands and said:

"Commander, why don't you hand these two people over to me for torture? They can actually get out all the information the commander needs."

Ding Hongguang shook his head and said: "Don't worry, the secret guards have already gone to interrogate. They are better at torture, so just leave it to them.

Leave professional matters to professional people. This is what His Majesty said back then. "

After hearing this, everyone waited in the tent.

Less than half an hour later, the two people who had just been taken away were brought back by two soldiers.

But now both of them no longer looked as unruly as before.

There were no injuries on either of them, but there was deep fear in their eyes.

The whole person looked depressed, and the two soldiers collapsed to the ground as soon as they let go.

Ding Hongguang stood up, knelt down in front of the two of them, reached out and grabbed one person's chin. This person was the most arrogant person just now. Looking at his eyes full of exhaustion and fear, he asked coldly:

"How about it? Have you had enough fun? If not, I can let you continue to have fun. Don't worry, it's free!"

As soon as these words came out, the man immediately twitched all over and shook his head wildly with all his strength:

"No...don't...I don't want to go back...please...let me go...don't...I don't want to go back!"

You asked! You asked! I'll tell you whatever you ask! "

Seeing his appearance, Ding Hongguang lost interest, threw it on the ground, straightened up, clapped his hands and said coldly:

"I still like your unruly look just now."

All the onlookers could not help but twitch their mouths.

But it soon returned to normal.

The next thing was simple. Everyone learned from these two people that this time they commanded the sect to form an army to attack them. Not only did the Red Lotus Saint not come, but even Huang Tiansheng, the great protector of the sect, did not come.

He said he was stationed in Sunan City just in case.

The 300,000 people they brought were almost half of the young people in Sunan City plus the population from nearby villages and towns. The rest were the old, weak, sick and disabled, so they didn't follow them.

When Ding Hongguang heard this, he already understood that the next trip would be simple.

Controlling these 300,000 young men would already control most of Sunan County.

Seeing that these two survivors could not tell any more information, Ding Hongguang immediately ordered them to be executed.

At this time, Ding Hongguang had led his army to completely control 300,000 people. At Ding Hongguang's order, the army immediately headed towards Sunan City with 300,000 prisoners.

……

Bianjing.

Horse Street.

As one of the two busiest night markets in Bianjing, Maxing Street is one of the liveliest and most prosperous markets in Bianjing even during the day.

After the disaster of the Xiongnu and the late emperor's invasion, the entire Bianjing capital banned all entertainment activities for three months. It is only now that it has gradually returned to its former prosperity.

It was like a retaliatory recovery. As soon as the ban was lifted, Ma Xing Street became crowded every day. The streets were full of pedestrians and all walks of life reopened. Everything seemed to be restored to the way it was before the Huns invaded. It seemed that everything was gone. Changed.

Sufferings are all in the past, and life will always go on. The people of Bianjing can understand this sentence more deeply.

On the street where people were rubbing shoulders, a master and a servant were walking through the crowd.

The young man at the head is wearing a moon-white cross-collar robe, a dongpo scarf on his head, walking on cloud shoes, and two sets of jade pendants on his left and right waists. The pleasant sound of the jade pendants clashing as he walks is refreshing.

He really looks like a handsome young man who is as good as jade in a stranger, and has no peer in the world.

"Master! Master! Wait for the younger one! Wait for the younger one!"

The streets are crowded with people, making it extremely easy for two people walking together to get separated if they don't follow closely.

Especially now that it is dusk, the two busiest night markets in Bianjing City are about to appear, and Maxing Street Night Market is one of them.

The master and the servant passed through the crowd and finally stopped at a restaurant.

Feiyun Restaurant.

These are the large gilt characters engraved on the restaurant's plaque.

At the same time, this is also the largest restaurant and inn in Bianjing today. There are four restaurants in Bianjing city alone in the southeast, northwest and northwest!

The young man stepped in, followed closely by the servant.

The waiter was about to come forward to greet him, but he was pulled away by the shopkeeper who usually didn't even come out of the counter. He came up to him with a look of shamelessness, licked his old face and said to the young man:

"Master, you are here!"

The young man nodded slightly and then asked: "Is there anyone on the third floor?"

The shopkeeper immediately shook his head and said:

"No one is there! The third floor of our Feiyun Restaurant is always closed to the public. It is reserved exclusively for the owner. The owner can go up now."

The young man nodded with satisfaction. Under the enthusiastic guidance of the shopkeeper, he followed the stairs to the third floor. He found a seat by the window and sat down before asking:

"What happened to what I asked you to do before?"

The shopkeeper hurriedly said:

"Not long ago, news came from the south that the first batch of graduating students had already boarded the ship half a month ago. As long as there are no accidents, it will take at most three to five days to dock at the port of Sunan County, and the second A batch of students have also boarded the ship, and it has just sailed out of Pingbo Port and will land at Jinghai Port in northern Jiangsu about half a month later."

"Very good, this matter is related to my arrangements. These students are all sent by the Political School to intern in the six counties of Shendu for one year, and have relevant management experience.

After the imperial army regains the lost territory, I am afraid that most of the original officials will no longer be available. It is a good time to replace all the officials with our own people. This will also make things more convenient.

It can play a great role in the subsequent land reform work. "

"I understand, I will definitely convey its importance to the headquarters, and I don't dare to delay the boss's important events!"

The shopkeeper hurriedly clapped his chest and promised, and the young man showed a satisfied smile, then waved his hand and said: "Feel free to serve some side dishes and a pot of tea."

"Hey! Okay! Master, please wait a moment, I'll get them ready to go."

After saying that, the big shopkeeper immediately trotted downstairs and asked people to get ready.

Only then did Zhao Jun look out the window at the crowded scene and remained silent.

That's right, the young man in front of him is none other than Zhao Jun, who sneaked out of the palace in Yulong's white clothes.

The palace was really depressing, and Zhao Jun couldn't hold it any longer. In addition, some time ago, the Feiyun Chamber of Commerce was sending students from the Yunzhou County Political School to the south. He was planning to secretly replace all the local officials while the courtiers were not paying attention. own people.

After finishing today's memorial, he sneaked out of the palace with Wang Huai'en.

We came to Tokyo’s largest Feiyun Restaurant located in the Mahang Street Night Market.

Zhao Jun was not asked to wait any longer. Almost as soon as the shopkeeper came down, servants began to come upstairs carrying plates of exquisite pastries and tea. In a short time, the table in front of Zhao Jun was filled to the brim.

During this period, these young men secretly glanced at Zhao Jun, as if they wanted to see who this young master was. Not only did they go to the third floor of Feiyun Restaurant, which is never open to the public, but they also made their big shopkeeper. Being arrogant in front and respectful in the back?

Xu was warned. Although they were curious, no one dared to come forward to ask. Every boy quickly left after delivering their things.

After everything was put in place, Zhao Jun sipped tea and looked at the crowds of people outside and suddenly smiled:

"Wang Banban, do you think Yunzhou City or Bianjing is better?"

Wang Huaien said without hesitation:

"Your Majesty, let me tell you this. Although Bianjing is good, it is not as good as our Yunzhou City."

"Oh~ Where are you?"

Wang Huaien immediately said:

"Your Majesty, you haven't rested for a long time since you came to Bianjing. We used to be in Yunzhou County, and you had a lot of fun drinking tea and watching theater every day. But since you came to Yunzhou County, your Majesty, you have been resting all day long. Sitting in the palace busy with business is not like you at all."

"Isn't this bad? I am the emperor now, the person with the highest status in the world. Even you, don't think that I don't know. Now the little eunuchs in the palace have begun to call you ancestor.

Even the courtiers of this foreign court, even the Prime Minister, don't have to call you "Prince"?

If this were still in Yunzhou County, you wouldn't have this status. "

Wang Huaien didn't take it seriously and said: "Back to the emperor, these are all false. I just want to see the emperor happy every day. We are free in Yunzhou County. It doesn't matter whether we are our ancestors or not. As long as we As long as I can stay with the emperor!"

Zhao Jun laughed dumbly, nodded Wang Huaien and said:

"You! You! If your words get out, you will be a treacherous eunuch, do you know that?"

"Your Majesty lets your slaves be treacherous eunuchs, and your slaves are treacherous eunuchs!"

At this moment, Zhao Jun suddenly understood why there were so many emperors in previous lives who loved their personal eunuchs even though they knew they were not a good thing.

That's it, whoever is left is not confused!

Zhao Jun smiled and said nothing more. He picked up the tea cup and took a sip. He casually picked up the pastries on the table and ate them while looking at the lively street scene outside and enjoying the rare tranquility.

As the lanterns begin to light up, Maxing Street Night Market, one of the two largest night markets in Bianjing City, gradually reveals its true appearance.

As the sky darkens, countless lanterns are lit one by one.

The entire Ma Xing Street seemed to have woken up, lighting up one by one. In the blink of an eye, the market that was still dark just now became brightly lit.

Even the street stalls have two bright lanterns hung next to the stalls.

Under the orange-red lights, people in Bianjing walked through Maxing Street, with various stalls lined on both sides of the street.

There are those selling all kinds of food, some selling rouge and gouache, some selling children's toys, and those selling all kinds of hairpins, masks, jewelry, and strange gadgets...

Various restaurants and teahouses line both sides of the street, and each family's flags are hung high, attracting the attention of passers-by.

The vendor carrying candied haws hawking along the street was surrounded by a group of dolls, and the "delivery boy" who was running along carrying the food box was rushing to deliver food to the regular customers.

What's more, there are people everywhere, and the entertainers show off their skills in exchange for rewards from the people.

Everything was full of fireworks. Looking at this scene, Zhao Jun suddenly felt that everything seemed worth it.

Maybe I have found the meaning of life after traveling through time, which is to let this scene continue and even get better!

The tea in his hand was changed from cup to cup, and the pastries on the table quietly slipped into Wang Huaien's stomach.

The night in the sky is getting darker, but the bustle and bustle on the ground is getting louder and louder.

Seeing that it was getting late, Zhao Jun stood up and said to Wang Huaien:

"Wang Banban, let's go. We should go back. We have a morning court tomorrow."

Wang Huaien, who had long been told by Zhao Jun to sit down and keep stuffing things in his mouth, heard the emperor's greeting and quickly put two more cakes into his arms, nodded heavily, and was about to get up.

Zhao Jun glanced out the window one last time.

However, just at this glance, his eyes suddenly became focused!

Wang Huai'en was about to leave, but suddenly he found that his prince was standing still and refused to leave. He immediately followed his prince's gaze in confusion.

The next second he couldn't help but exclaimed: "Your Majesty, isn't that the fourth prince's concubine?"

That's right, it was Zhao Jun's accidental glance that happened to see a strange but somewhat familiar figure in the crowd below.

That was none other than his fourth sister-in-law Meng Yuru!

"Why is she here? I thought they had escaped from the capital."

Zhao Jun murmured in a low voice, his eyes instantly narrowed.

"Your Majesty, this servant will be arrested by the secret guards right now!"

Wang Huaien said immediately.

Zhao Jun shook his head:

"Don't alert the snake first, follow her first to see where she is going and where is their lair? Let's follow her slowly, don't lose her."

"promise!"

Wang Huaien responded, and then immediately used special means to notify the hidden guards around him to keep an eye on the target.

Zhao Jun and Zhao Jun came down from the third floor in a hurry.

As soon as he came down, the restaurant manager hurriedly came to greet him.

"Master, are you leaving now?"

Zhao Jun nodded slightly and said:

"I told you not to delay your business, I will go back first."

The shopkeeper quickly assured: "Don't worry, boss, I won't forget it!"

Then he asked again: "Master, I will arrange a carriage for you right away!"

Zhao Jun shook his head and refused, and the shopkeeper had no choice but to retreat sadly.

After Zhao Jun and his servant Shi Shiran left the restaurant, a regular customer suddenly asked loudly:

"Shopkeeper, whose young master are the two of you just now? They seemed to have come down from the third floor, right? You actually let them go up to the third floor?"

To this, the big shopkeeper only replied: "Don't ask what you shouldn't ask, otherwise you may be caught by the Imperial City Secretary!" The guest immediately shut up. Today's Imperial City Secretary is no better than before.

In the past, the name of the Imperial City Division was only known to those officials and had little to do with the people below.

However, since the disaster relief case, everyone has realized the power of this organization.

So many high-ranking officials were arrested by the Imperial City Division, and once they were arrested, a whole family was arrested.

Thousands of heads can be chopped off at once!

This time, the name of the Imperial City Division was really knocked out.

Nowadays, let alone talking about the Imperial City Secretary, at least no one dares to talk nonsense openly. Everyone knows that the most important function of the Imperial City is an intelligence agency. Maybe your long-term friend is A spy from their Imperial City Division.

Who knows if just because of a wrong sentence, I will directly follow in the footsteps of those previous high officials?

The guests in the restaurant all calmed down and no one dared to discuss it anymore, but they still secretly speculated in their hearts.

After walking out of the restaurant, with the intelligence coming from the secret guards in front of them from time to time, Zhao Jun, the master and the servant, followed Meng Yuru from a distance in such a leisurely manner.

Meng Yuru, who was dressing up as a village girl and buying food in the front, had no idea that she had been targeted.

Since hiding, Meng Yuru did not dare to go out during the day in order to avoid being discovered.

Only in the evening do you dare to go to this night market to buy food and daily necessities after it gets dark.

Fortunately, she was not short of money, so everything went smoothly. No one could have imagined that the dignified fourth prince and his wife would dare to stay in Bianjing City after the new emperor ascended the throne, and even go out to buy food in the middle of the night.

It was so dark under the lamp that they hid for more than half a year.

What Meng Yuru didn't expect was that they escaped the court's search and the secret guards' detection, but were discovered by Zhao Jun who accidentally left the palace.

After buying the things she wanted to buy this time, Meng Yuru packed her bags and started to return. Today, she is not much different from the women who also went out to buy things on the street. No one would have thought that this village girl would be the same as before. Princess.

They saw Meng Yuru walking straight south, with the secret guards watching closely, and Zhao Jun following closely behind. After a while, everyone followed them to the end of the Mahang Street Night Market.

The location of Daxiangguo Temple.

Arriving here, Meng Yuru kept moving forward, leading people directly to the back door of the Daxiangguo Temple.

Then Zhao and Jun, who were following from a distance, saw with their own eyes a monk opening the door for her and letting her in.

Naturally, we can't follow up when we get here.

After letting the secret guard quietly investigate, Zhao Jun's eyes suddenly turned cold and he said:

"I have already issued the sea arrest document, but the Daxiangguo Temple actually dares to take in the imperial prisoner whom I personally selected. How courageous is it!"

Wang Huai'en frowned and said, "Your Majesty, maybe the Daxiangguo Temple doesn't know the true identities of the fourth prince and his wife, and just thinks they are ordinary pilgrims in distress?"

Zhao Jun immediately glanced sideways at him and asked coldly: "Why did you suddenly start talking about the Daxiangguo Temple?"

Wang Huai'en's face froze for a moment, then he said after a while: "The Holy Mother Queen Mother often comes to this Daxiangguo Temple to burn incense and worship Buddha. I am worried that there will be a misunderstanding."

"The Queen Mother?"

Hearing that this person was actually involved, Zhao Jun's expression froze, but then he became cold again and said coldly:

"No matter who dares to violate my will, it won't do!"

"Immediately, send all your spies to me. I will get all the information about the Great Xiangguo Temple before I go to court tomorrow! Remember, it's all!

No matter what method you use, I must investigate this Daxiangguo Temple to the bottom!

I want to see if this Daxiangguo Temple, which is full of gods and Buddhas, is really a pure place for Buddhism! "

"promise!"

Wang Huaien smiled bitterly and had to quickly send a message to mobilize manpower.

Zhao Jun took one last look at the solemn appearance of the Prime Minister of the Grand Prime Minister's Temple, snorted coldly, rolled up his sleeves and left.

It's not that he is targeting Daxiangguo Temple, but that he has never had a good impression of monks.

Unexpectedly, almost all the monks who died earlier turned their temples into businesses. Shaolin Temple, which is known as the world's best martial arts master, has actually become a listed company!

Zhao Jun is disgusted by the behavior of those caring mistresses who drive luxury cars and only care about Yuan but not fate, etc.!

Not to mention that they didn't have a good reputation in ancient times.

It has always been a hiding place for filth and evil. People talk about putting down the butcher's knife and becoming a Buddha immediately. A murderer killed a whole family and went to the temple and said he would put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha immediately. But he shaved his head and became a monk, so he didn't have to suffer!

What a shameful behavior!

Where is this place of purity! This is clearly a paradise for criminals! Safe place!

Not to mention that those temples in ancient times were more likely to be the largest landowners around, not only annexing land, but also lending money! It’s still a loan shark!

Even when the people can't pay back the money, they sell other people's children to pay off the debt. There is no trace of the compassion of a monk.

No wonder there were four acts of extermination of Buddhas in previous lives. They all asked for it!

Wang Huai'en didn't know where his prince came from to treat these monks unkindly, but since His Majesty wants to investigate, then he must investigate!

That night, all the secret guards and the Imperial City Department in Bianjing received a special order to investigate all information about the Daxiangguo Temple!

In the dead of night, the originally quiet Daxiangguo Temple suddenly had countless people coming in and out.

On the second day, as soon as Zhao Jun came down from the morning, he saw Wang Huaien walking up to him with a serious face and holding a thick stack of information.

Seeing him like this, Zhao Jun knew without looking that the Daxiangguo Temple was probably not that clean.

He did not read the intelligence on the spot. After returning to Funing Palace with Wang Huaien, he read the collected intelligence one by one.

However, it’s okay not to look at it. The more I look at it, the more angry I feel!

Look at what this information says.

The number of monks registered in the Daxiangguo Temple in the 27th year of Tiansheng's reign is about 726.

However, according to the investigation conducted by the secret guards and the Imperial City Department, the actual number of monks in the Daxiangguo Temple has reached as high as 1,531!

These 805 extra people are all wild monks who have no ultimatum.

As for these wild monks, after an overnight comparison by the Imperial City Division yesterday, it turned out that most of them were key criminals being investigated by the Criminal Department and the Imperial City Division!

There are even more important criminals who came from other counties, and no relevant information can be found at all, as if they appeared out of thin air.

When these messages were delivered, the Imperial City Division had already begun flying eagles to send messages to the Imperial City Division across the country, asking them to collect the local key criminals who had not been caught. Check the previous batch among people.

And whoever can be called a key criminal has few lives on his hands. This means that most of the people in Daxiangguo Temple in Nuoda are not serious monks, but are instead vicious bandits!

Is this still a Buddhist temple? This is clearly a bandit's lair!

That’s not all!

According to the intelligence, Daxiangguo Temple actually has the same business as those temples in previous lives, that is, lending!

Loan sharking!

Yesterday, the secret guard went into the abbot's room of Daxiangguo Temple and saw with his own eyes the account books he had hidden, so he sneaked in while he was away, only to find more than a dozen account books in the place where the account books were hidden.

These account books can be traced back to the time of the previous emperor.

Even the ledgers are yellowed.

The accounts recorded in these account books are all loans borrowed from the Daxiangguo Temple.

In order to leave evidence and prevent the other party from discovering it, the secret guard made a fake copy overnight, replaced one of the copies and took it back, so that the chance of being discovered by the other party was much smaller.

Along with this information, there was also a ledger underneath the information. Zhao Jun picked it up and looked at the time on it. It was the ledger of Tiansheng's twenty-seventh year.

After opening it and taking a look, the fire in Zhao Jun's eyes was about to erupt!

Turning over the first page of this account book, we were surprised to see that Li Chenggui in the south of the city asked the Grand Prime Minister to borrow two or four dollars to treat his wife.

After talking about the principal and interest, the total amount will be 28 yuan per month.

However, he was illiterate, so he changed the principal and interest to pay back twenty-eight yuan on one day, and on the second day he converted the interest into the principal, and used the principal to repay the interest.

After one month, he found it difficult to repay the principal and interest, so he sold his wife and daughter to Goulan, his house and property to Xiuxiu, and broke his legs and sold him to a beggar gang, earning a total of eighty-four taels of silver.

In the north of the city, Liu Renshou's mother passed away. He had no money to bury her, so he borrowed a tael of money and offered to pay for it with the family's old cow.

More than a month later, I came to my door and found that the cow was sick and worthless. I owed one tael, which had increased to 60 taels in a month. I had no money to pay back. I dug up the grave of his mother and sold the coffin. Even though he paid back, it was still not enough to cut off both of his parents. The legs were sold to the beggar gang in the south of the city for a total of fifteen taels of silver.

Mr. Xue of Lepingfang, her husband died in the war, and there was no food left in the family. She still had a son who was crying for food, so she borrowed ten dou of rice... The distinguished guests took notice of her, and used her tricks to trick her into coming to the courtyard. She was toyed with until death, and her son was sold to a flower auctioneer. Got two hundred and twenty-six taels of silver, a big profit!

……

Seeing this one after another, Zhao Jun was so angry that he burst into rage!

He asked himself that he was not a good person, but at least one should not treat his compatriots like this!

But this is just the beginning. In addition to their own money, the source of the funds borrowed by the Daxiangguo Temple is actually the money stored by the imperial officials.

Daxiangguo Temple not only has a loan business, but also helps customers save money, and most of these customers are officials from the DPRK and China.

All the money they had that was inconvenient to take out was deposited in the Daxiangguo Temple. Not only did they not have to pay storage fees, but they also received high interest rates.

This money will be used by the Daxiangguo Temple for loans, which will result in high interest rates.

It doesn't stop there.

They even help officials provide money laundering services.

The specific operation is to let the official deposit money into the Daxiangguo Temple. When the official wants to use it, he can buy a painting on the street. Then someone will happen to recognize the painting by a famous artist. Afterwards, he spent a lot of money to buy the famous product. From then on, the money and goods were cleared, and the stubs were also destroyed at the same time.

Through this operation, the official's gray income has a legitimate source, and he can spend it freely and boldly.

If someone were to pursue whether the painting was real, the painting would happen to accidentally fall into the fire and be burned to ashes.

There will never be any leftovers for guests.

Every year, Daxiangguo Temple spends no less than three million taels of money on paintings alone, but they are always unable to keep them due to improper storage.

The art collection room where the paintings are kept is often leaked, causing the Daxiangguo Temple to need to buy new paintings every year, and I don’t know how much money was spent.

In addition, they also provide child-seeking services to wealthy businessmen in Bianjing City.

It is said that the most spiritual thing in the Daxiangguo Temple is the Guanyin. As long as the female family members bathe and burn incense to pray to the Guanyin for seven days alone in the Daxiangguo Temple, they will have a high probability of conceiving an heir after they go back to have sex.

I don’t know how many wealthy businessmen came to Daxiangguo Temple when they had no heirs, and most of them succeeded.

The few who failed just thought they were destined to be childless and could not blame others.

What's strange is that this service is only provided to wealthy households and ordinary people, but not to the families of officials.

Even officials who have no children at home have never asked their families to come to the Daxiangguo Temple to pay homage to Guanyin because of this incident.

Everything seems to have some kind of tacit understanding.

"Hehe...hehe...hehehehahahahaha!"

Zhao Jun laughed softly at first, then burst out laughing.

Wang Huai'en on the side looked at his prince with a worried face, but Zhao Jun's face became extremely ferocious at this moment!

"Sure enough, no matter which world we are in, Buddhism always looks like a bird.

Wearing the cloak of hypocrisy and compassion, we do the most disgusting things in the world! "

Zhao Jun suddenly turned to look at Wang Huaien and ordered:

"According to my will, go to the Xuanwu School Ground to mobilize five thousand black tiger troops to Beijing, and let the secret guards clear the place secretly outside the Daxiangguo Temple!

I will eliminate this cancer in Bianjing today! "

Wang Huai'en was shocked after hearing this: "Your Majesty, this Daxiangguo Temple is very involved, why not figure it out slowly? Sending troops to deal with it directly may cause panic in Bianjing."

The main reason is that there are too many officials involved with the Daxiangguo Temple. At this time when the court is sending troops to the south, if there is a problem with the court in the rear, it may affect the army on the expedition.

However, Zhao Jun said coldly with firm eyes: "Is Xu Xu trying to figure it out? Ha... Every time I delay for one day, I don't know how many people will be harmed. I still turn a blind eye to Bianjing even though I know there is such a devil's cave." , I can’t do it!

Justice that is delayed is not justice. It is obvious that more people can be saved earlier, so why delay it.

As for the officials involved, since they are involved, they must bear the consequences themselves!

Isn't it only natural that you will bear the consequences of any evil you do? "

"But Your Majesty, this will cause turmoil in the court! Two hundred thousand troops are still fighting in the south. If there is turmoil in Bianjing at this time, it may affect the front line. It is better to summon the prime minister to come, discuss it properly, and then deal with it slowly. The matter must be prioritized. , Your Majesty, please think twice!”

Wang Huai'en, a eunuch, could know the consequences. Would Zhao Jun not know about it?

After coming to Bianjing from Yunzhou County, he endured it again and again for the sake of the stability of the court, always minimizing the impact before taking action.

This was not his character at all, but for the sake of stability, he endured it!

But this time, he is Zhao Jun! I can’t bear it anymore!

Put up with this fucking bitch!

It was obvious that they had done something wrong, so why should they endure it?

Isn't it just turmoil in the court?

He wanted to see how hard the necks of these scholar-officials could be under the butcher's knife!

In the previous life, the Donglin Party each promoted himself as a gentleman, but what was the result?

Everyone fell to their knees faster than anyone else before Yao Qing's butcher's knife. Doesn't that show how cheap the scholarly character of these scholar-bureaucrats is?

Integrity is valuable, reputation is even more valuable! If you only care about your life, you can throw everything away!

The water is too cold and my scalp is too itchy!

Ha ha ha ha...

As for the front line, he has spent all these years in vain. Even if there is a problem with the court, the Feiyun Trading Company all over the country is the transportation line he has in his hands!

Whether it’s weapons and equipment, or food and silver, those on the front line are indispensable.

Let him see how many people will jump out!

"Stop talking nonsense, I have thought clearly about it, are you going or not?!"

Seeing that Zhao Jun's attitude was so determined, Wang Huaien stopped trying to persuade him.

As His Majesty's companion, I can advise His Majesty, but when His Majesty makes a decision, there is only one thing I have to do!

That is to do what His Majesty has told you to do!

Immediately, Wang Huaien took the imperial edict sealed by Zhao Jun and went to Xuanwu Campus to mobilize troops.

Now the person in charge of the remaining 20,000 Black Tiger Army is none other than Chang Wan, the former commander of the Yunhe Army.

He is now the commander of the Black Tiger Army. He did not go on the expedition with him, but stayed in Bianjing to guard his home.

He was training the Black Tiger Army, and he was helping Guan Ning in training. He suddenly received news from the soldiers guarding the camp, saying that the prince had come with the Holy Majesty's will!

At that time, he suddenly knew that something big had happened. This was the first time he had received an imperial order to mobilize troops!

Something must have happened. Although he didn't know the specific situation, he immediately led a group of lieutenants to the door of the barracks as quickly as possible. When he saw Wang Huai'en holding the imperial edict, he immediately bowed his hands and said:

"General Chang Wan, commander of the Royal Second Infantry Army, respectfully requests the imperial edict! Your Majesty, greetings?"

"Saint An! Chang Wan, commander of the Royal Second Infantry Army, accepts the order!"

"The general is here!"

Wang Huaien unfolded the imperial edict in his hand, coughed and said loudly:

"Fengtian Chengyun Emperor, the imperial edict said:

Order Chang Wan, the commander of the Royal First Infantry Army, to immediately lead five thousand soldiers and horses into the capital, surround the Daxiangguo Temple, isolate the inside and outside, and allow no entry and no exit until I personally do it!

During this period, if anyone dares to attack the army, Xu will act in an expedient manner. Regardless of his or her identity, he will be killed without mercy!

Admire this!

The third day of April in the first year of Xingwu. "

"General Chang, take the order!"

After Wang Huaien finished speaking, Chang Wan first wondered why his majesty suddenly asked him to lead troops to surround the Daxiangguo Temple, but then he forgot about it.

Since His Majesty asked him to do so, it was right for him to do so.

After thinking about it, he immediately said loudly:

"The last general, Chang Wan, accepts the order!"

Then he took the imperial edict with both hands, stood up at the same time, walked to Wang Huaien with a smile and asked:

"Hey, Eunuch Wang, what happened? Why did Your Majesty suddenly ask me to lead troops to surround the Daxiangguo Temple?

This is the first time that His Majesty personally issued an order! "

Wang Huaien glanced at him. After all, he was an old man from Yunzhou County. He still gave him a few words of advice:

"General Chang, you don't have to worry about anything else. You just need to know that the filth inside the Daxiangguo Temple has made His Majesty very angry, and His Majesty can't bear it anymore.

You just need to remember this. No matter who comes, as long as it is not His Majesty’s will, you just do it according to His Majesty’s will. Don’t give it to anyone else, otherwise I’m afraid Your Majesty won’t give it to you. face. "

Upon hearing his words, Chang Wan immediately realized the seriousness of the matter and immediately held up his hands and said:

"Thank you, Eunuch, for reminding me, Chang Wan will remember it!"

Then he said:

"Your Majesty does not like corruption. One day or the end of the day, I will invite my father-in-law to have a good meal at the Feiyun Restaurant. Don't worry, father-in-law, the money used will be my regular military salary!"

Hearing this, Wang Huaien's face also showed news, he nodded and led the people away.

But Chang Wan did not dare to delay. After suppressing his smile, he quickly led the people back to the camp, ordered five thousand people, took weapons and marched out of the military camp, holding the imperial edict and heading towards the Daxiangguo Temple.

At this time, everything in Daxiangguo Temple was quiet and peaceful, as if it were no different from usual.

But today, for some unknown reason, there are fewer and fewer pilgrims at the door.
