Lord Moyu was forced to open

What is the scene like when five thousand people are ready to take action?

Anyway, Guang Wu was so frightened when he faced this scene that his legs felt a little weak.

Seeing that the imperial army was really going to take action, Guangwu couldn't help shouting in a restrained voice: "Is it true that the imperial court really ignores the people's sentiments in the northern Buddhist temple and wants to forcefully implement chaos?"

However, at this time, Zhang Tang had no patience to continue with him. He only nodded slightly, and the next moment, the armored soldiers holding weapons rushed towards the gate of White Horse Temple.

As the soldiers charged, they pulled out the shiny steel sword with a clang, and swung it towards the leaders blocking the gate of the White Horse Temple with no expression on their faces.

Seeing that the imperial court was serious, the leaders of the White Horse Temple who had just vowed not to take a step back subconsciously moved to both sides, allowing the charging officers and soldiers to miss them?

However, their actions also made way for the officers and soldiers who rushed over, and successive officers and soldiers rushed into the White Horse Temple along the way they made way.

In an instant, the whole White Horse Temple was in a state of uproar!

Guangwu and other senior officials in the temple watched helplessly as the officers and soldiers rushed into the Kebaima Temple, and their eyes were splitting, but they did not have the courage to ask them to take action against the court.

Zhang Tang came to the gate of the White Horse Temple with a half-smiling expression. Looking at the high-level officials of the White Horse Temple who were standing aside and not daring to approach, Zhang Tang sneered disdainfully and expressed contempt in front of them: " Right here?”

Just three words, but gave the senior management of White Horse Temple a heavy blow.

Making them lower their heads in shame.

Guangwu whispered from the side:

"Now that the officers and soldiers are coming suddenly, I, the White Horse Temple, can't fight them alone. Let's endure it for now. When the officers and soldiers retreat, we will contact the Buddhist temples and let you know how powerful the White Horse Temple is!

What an air! "

He deliberately lowered his voice, thinking that only he could hear it, but unfortunately, Zhang Tang had sensitive ears since he was a child, and he could clearly hear all of his low-pitched words to himself word for word with a slight movement of his ears!

There was no expression on his face, but he was already sneering in his heart.

Still waiting for the officers and soldiers to retreat?

Since I came here specially for a sneak attack in order to succeed in a battle, how could I have the time to let you take a breath? This time I will directly defeat your White Horse Temple. I wonder how you can order the Buddhist sects in the north!

With this thought in mind, Zhang Tang acted in the same way.

Five thousand armored officers and soldiers rushed into the White Horse Temple and quickly took control of the entire temple. In order to facilitate the investigation, the entire White Horse Temple, from the 70-80-year-old old monks to the 78-year-old novice monks, were all driven away. We arrived at the open space at the gate of the front yard of White Horse Temple.

More than 3,000 monks stood in the open space, dressed in monk robes, bowing their heads and chanting sutras. The scene was quite spectacular.

Guangping and others were also brought here.

Zhang Tang stood on the steps in front of the open space and said loudly to the monks: "In accordance with the new policy of the imperial court, a general survey of monks in Buddhist temples all over the world was conducted. False monks in Buddhist temples around the world who do not have an ultimatum, and who have an ultimatum but have committed adultery before becoming a monk, are not allowed to become a monk. All those who came to avoid punishment will be investigated, deported when necessary, and arrested and brought to justice. All will be arrested and brought to justice!

Now, for the first inspection, all the monks whose names are read and have ultimatums stand on the left side, and the rest stay where they are! "

After Zhang Tang finished speaking, he immediately took a list of ultimatums from his subordinates.

Before coming out, Zhang Tang went to the archives storage room of the Ministry of Rites to obtain all the information about the certificates issued by the imperial court in Nanyang County and the list of monks who currently owned the certificates.

This is where it comes in handy.

But Zhang Tang's words instantly caused an uproar among the monks below!

Check the monks?

All severance without ultimatum?

Everyone who has committed a crime cannot be exempted and must be taken back?

How can this work!

Of the three thousand monks in White Horse Temple, no more than five hundred of them have ultimatums!

Most of the rest are monks who came here specifically to avoid taxes or because the monks live a good life. As for the villains who broke the national law and sneaked in, there are also some.

If the court really investigates them, what should they do if they are to be dismissed?

Are they who have broken the law going to be caught and taken back by the court?

Of course not!

They don't want to either!

The monks who had been quiet just now suddenly became commotion.

However, Zhang Tang had already expected this. He snorted coldly and heard a clang. The officers and soldiers surrounding them all drew out their weapons and stared at them eagerly. Zhang Tang said with a cold face:

"Anyone who dares to obstruct the imperial court's affairs will be killed!"

The cold word "kill" and the intimidation brought by the officers and soldiers holding weapons around them made the monks of Baima Temple, who were still a little confused just now, instantly quiet down.

But some people were frightened, but some were not, especially those monks who would be caught as long as they continued, those monks who had been convicted of adultery and had come to become monks in order to avoid punishment.

They knew that inciting the monks to cause trouble was their last chance, so even if others were frightened, they had to bite the bullet and cause trouble.

"Everyone! The imperial court clearly wants us to die. We can't let them investigate! Think about it, we came to become monks because we couldn't pay the imperial taxes. If we are dismissed, we won't have to continue to pay taxes in the future. Yet?

If we don't pay the tax, the court will definitely not let us go. It's just a knife, and it's a knife to shrink our head. It's better to fight with them.

There are five thousand people in the imperial court. We also have three thousand people here, and our White Horse Temple is the head of the Buddhist sect in the north. As long as we rise up, the entire northern Buddhist community will definitely respond! What can the imperial court do to us then? "

Someone immediately began to instigate rebellion in the crowd, which shocked the monks who had just calmed down again, but this made Zhang Tang's face completely darken.

Inciting rebellion in front of him, I have to say that these people were so courageous that even Zhang Tang admired them!

But do you have any misunderstanding about the combat strength of five thousand armored officers and soldiers?

If three thousand unarmed monks want to defeat us, you are talking nonsense!

Moreover, for not taking the imperial court seriously, it seems that he must learn a lesson!

Zhang Tang immediately said loudly:

"Who said you want to rebel? Stand up! If you have the ability to call for rebellion, then you have the ability to stand up and face your boss!

Don't think that I can't find you if you hide in the crowd!

All the monks of White Horse Temple listen, from now on, I will count to three and hand over those rebels who just clamored for rebellion, otherwise, I will kill ten monks every three to count!

Someone come! Arrests! "

As soon as Zhang Tang finished speaking, a group of officers and soldiers rushed into the monks and arrested ten monks from Baima Temple.

This situation immediately shocked everyone.

Master Guangping, the abbot of White Horse Temple, hurriedly said: "Sir, please don't do this. Give us some time and we will find those people we just encouraged. Don't hurt the lives of innocent people!"

However, Zhang Tang didn't even look at him. He raised three fingers and started counting down!

"three!"

The officers and soldiers who had captured ten monks raised their steel knives.

The ten monks who were arrested were immediately frightened and cried loudly.

"two!"

The officers and soldiers pointed their knives at the necks of the monks.

The sound of these monks being frightened suddenly stopped, and they could no longer cry.

Abbot Guangping's face turned pale at this moment!

Zhang Tang glanced at him and smiled coldly.

Then the last number exits!

"one!"

Poof! Poof! Poof! …

The heads fell off and ten fountains of blood gushed out!

The scene was filled with silence!

A group of monks, including the senior officials of White Horse Temple, looked at the ten headless corpses that were still spurting blood in disbelief.

The government actually took action!

They're not trying to scare people!

They are actually real! Take action!
