Cao Duo, the Chief of the Police Department of the Criminal Ministry and the Chief of the Gyeonggi Police Department, was wearing a gorgeous and dazzling flying fish suit, a big hat with golden peacock feathers pointing towards the sky, and a shark-skin Baili Steel Knife. He faced the mountain gate of Xiangguo Temple and fiercely slashed
Cursed.
Suddenly remembering something, he turned around quickly and said apologetically to the four old monks next to him: "Four great monks, please forgive me. Liu Lang is rude and rude, which makes the four of you laugh. The conscience of heaven and earth, Cao Liu scolded me."
The scum of Buddhism definitely does not refer to the mulberry tree and the pagoda tree."
The four great monks are all truly virtuous and eminent monks.
They are Abbot Wuxiang of Songshan Shaolin Temple, Abbot Huihai of Jialan Temple in Luoyang, Abbot Siru of Baima Temple, and Abbot Wufan of Tonghui Temple in Hanoi.
They all rushed to Kaifeng City upon invitation to participate in the Buddhist Qingzheng Conference held by the Ministry of Secretaries and the Ministry of Rites.
To put it bluntly, it is to negotiate with the imperial court and do everything possible to preserve Shimen's privileges and preferential treatment.
This Qingzheng Conference plans to convene about two hundred eminent monks from various places. However, many great monks are still on their way.
The great monk Wu Fangdeng was close, so he came earlier.
However, after the meeting ended, Zhao Si's footsteps did not stop. Over the past month or so, illegal temples in various places have been raided by law enforcement agencies, and their evil deeds have been widely publicized by large and small newspapers.
There are also hundreds of preachers who go deep into restaurants, tile shops, fields and villages, and preach the evil deeds of these lawless monks into twelve chapters one by one. In the middle, they also intersperse some stories that the common people like to hear, such as the flower monks.
The response to the erotic story was extremely enthusiastic.
Buddhism's reputation has been severely damaged in history!
There are indeed many ordinary people who believe in Buddhism. But the more they believe, the more scandals and evil deeds about Buddhism are exposed, and the greater the feeling of betrayal among believers.
These monks use the copper coins they squeezed out from their teeth to lend money, buy land, and go to live and drink. In addition, compared with the monks from Woyun Temple who really abide by the precepts and rules, the people hate these "betraying" their trust even more.
The "fake monk".
"Liu Shangshu, Zhang Zhongcheng, Liu Gongdeshi, you three rightful masters are here." Cao Duo saw a group of people coming over there and hurriedly greeted them.
"Cao Liulang, you are the real master today, and the three of us are just watching." Liu Kui, the Minister of Power and Punishment, walked at the front. He looked at Cao Duo's gorgeous flying fish suit, showing envy, and held his hands with a smile.
road.
Quan Yushi Zhongcheng Zhang Shangying also smiled and said: "We are just here to watch on the orders of the officials. Today's matter is still in charge of Cao Liulang."
Liu Zhengfu smiled wryly and spread his hands, "Well, I, the Minister of Rites and the Envoy of Merit, am also one of the principals. I can't escape even if I want to."
The official positions of the three of them were much higher than Cao Duo, but no one dared to show off in front of him.
When the onlookers saw such a group of people, they immediately became agitated. The Daxiangguo Temple was so proud that they actually asked the Minister of the Ministry of Justice, Zhongcheng of the Yushi, the Minister of Rites and the Police Department of the Ministry of Justice to join forces.
After the polite jokes here, it's time to get down to business.
"Cao Liulang, have all the personnel been arranged?"
Liu Kui asked.
"I sent my manpower in the day before yesterday. The 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 5th squadrons of the 2nd Brigade of the Gyeonggi Patrol Detachment, with 1,200 people, sealed all the gates, side gates and corner gates of Xiangguo Temple, and even gave it a dog hole.
Watch carefully. In addition, all the intersections around are blocked. Not to mention bald... monks, even those with thin hair can't get out."
Cao Duo said confidently.
"Well, this time, in addition to the forty-five clerks from the headquarters, I also seconded twenty-six accountants from the Department of Household Affairs and the Treasury Department. All the properties and account books of Xiangguo Temple will be counted one by one.
Register and make a register." Liu Kui said.
"This time, the Prime Minister has also selected thirty trustworthy censors. They will be assigned to supervise the inspection and inventory in various places later. When registering and making the register, they will also have to countersign."
Zhang Shangying said.
"Those monks who are keeping their peace, let me comfort them. Cao Liulang, have you found a place?"
"Let me ask. Yang Jin, Yang Jin!"
Yang Jin, deputy chief of the Gyeonggi Police Department and police inspector of the patrol detachment, ran over.
"Cao Tou, are you calling me? My subordinate Yang Jin has met all the high officials."
"Have you found a place to house the law-abiding monks of Xiangguo Temple?"
"We've found it. Duting Station, I've agreed with them to borrow it for a while. The place is spacious and can accommodate five or six hundred monks. It also has walls to keep us on guard."
"Alert? Do you still need to keep an eye on those monks?" Zhang Shangying asked in confusion.
"The case at Xiangguo Temple has not been completely closed. It is still being tried. Maybe those monks who are now seen as abiding by the law will be involved. So the Ministry of Punishment and the Police Department decided to temporarily detain these monks. When the cases are settled,
Then arrange the various stalls."
Placement of various temples? It has not been officially decided yet, so the name of the temple was changed to "Sha" so quickly. Liu Gongda, you are really smart.
Zhang Shangying nodded calmly, "It seems everything is in order, so let's inspect it according to the order."
Hearing the supervisor's words, Liu Kui looked at Liu Zhengfu and received a nod. Just as he was about to speak, Cao Duo spoke.
"Liu Shangshu, Zhang Zhongcheng, I have already told the policemen on duty that there are tens of thousands of people watching around today, and no one knows which pair of eyes are from the Secretary Provincial Inspection Bureau, nor which pair of eyes
He belongs to Fangfanzi from the East School. You two high-ranking officials, would you like to say something too?"
"I have to say something. Let me make it clear. Some people are blind to Brother Kong Fang's stuff. They are obsessed with it and stretch out their hands randomly. If I don't deal with them, the people from the Supervision and Inspection Bureau will deal with them."
Liu Kui said loudly.
After Zhang Shangying and Liu Kui made their words clear to the clerks, accountants, and censors they brought with them, they checked their eyes with Liu Zhengfu and nodded to Cao Duo together.
"Yang Jin!"
"exist!"
"Tell the brothers to work!"
"yes!"
Yang Jin pointed at a police sergeant and saw him pick up a copper horn and blow it.
The sharp and long sound of the trumpet spread over and around Xiangguo Temple.
"Fourth Squadron! Everyone is here! Stand at attention, take a break! Stand at attention! Look forward! Walk together!"
"Sixth Squadron!...Let's move together!"
Six hundred patrol officers wearing navy blue police uniforms, black cloth hats, swords and guns divided into two long queues and entered from the main entrance and south gate of Xiangguo Temple.
A quarter of an hour later, a signal came from inside, and the patrol policemen from the two squadrons had already watched every place inside Xiangguo Temple.
Following Yang Jin's gesture, the sergeant blew the brass horn again, this time the sound was a little different.
"First Squadron...Second Squadron..." Patrol policemen from the two squadrons filed into Xiangguo Temple. After a while, hundreds of monks came out.
They are all monks who abide by the law and will be placed in Dutingyi not far away.
After being detained for three days, most of these monks were a little depressed.
They walked out one after another with their heads drooped. However, the people who were watching and the four great monks specially invited to watch and supervise could clearly see that these monks had no trace of being beaten except for being depressed.
At this time, two to three hundred people emerged from nowhere and sat on the street of Xingxingzi Street, blocking the way of the monks. They chanted Buddha's name and did not move at all despite being scolded by the patrolmen.
Cao Duo seemed to have expected this incident. He just called Yang Jin and raised his chin.
Yang Jin walked over, attracting the attention of thousands of people who were watching. They surrounded the three floors inside, the three floors in the middle, the three floors outside, and the three floors upstairs.
Everyone held their breath, waiting to see the show, and the streets were silent.
"Yo...yo..., what are you doing?"
"Inspect Xiangguo Temple and slander Buddha. We won't agree!" a voice came from the people sitting there.
"You little brats, Buddha will rain down thunder from the sky and kill you!" Someone was cursing viciously.
"You really don't want to leave?" Yang Jin asked.
"We won't leave! We will coexist with Xiangguo Temple to the death!"
"You bastards! You think I don't know what kind of bastards you are!" Yang Jin sneered a few times and jumped up to a fat man, "You bastards! Fahai, the director of Xiangguo Temple, must be your uncle. Hey, you kid
You dare to come out! Brother is looking for you!"
"Your uncle Fahai has already confessed that half of the pledges in Xiangguo Temple were in his hands. He also said that your boy was in charge of debt collection in Zhongmu County and Yangwu County, and gained a lot of benefits. Originally, you were
You're a little guy, I can't take care of you for the moment. I didn't expect you to be very considerate, so I sent it to the door myself and locked it!"
The two patrolmen stepped forward and locked up the struggling and screaming fat man without saying a word.
"And you! You thief woman like a dog!" Yang Jin pointed at a woman in her forties or fifties and cursed. This woman had just cursed the most viciously.
"It looks like a human being, but it's actually a Ma Boliu. The monk Rulin from Xiangguo Temple who was captured is responsible for the wives and daughters who have been pledged and sold. He said, you are setting up camps here and there to pull in favors."
Guests, come and play in the side courtyard of Xiangguo Temple, and then have sex in the whorehouse. Lock it up!"
Yang Jin's mouth was like a divine arm crossbow, and the arrows were all fired, and he pulled out the bottom of these two or three hundred people.
Half of them had something to do with Xiangguo Temple, and they were all small minions. The police department was busy doing business and arresting important criminals, so they didn't pay attention to them for a while. So they thought they were free and came to stir up trouble, but it turned out that they were all locked up with a chain.
The other half were ignorant and confused, and were coaxed by the other half. They thought they were doing their best for the Buddha and Bodhisattva, but they didn't expect to be used as a weapon.
Seeing the other half of the people being locked up by the policeman in a vicious manner, I was so frightened that my hands and feet were weak, and I had long forgotten all the words of Buddha and Bodhisattva in my mouth.
Hearing Yang Jin wave his hand and let them go, he hurriedly left with a lot of gratitude.
The interlude is over and we continue to escort the monk to the scene.
After these monks were cleared out, the secretary office, accountants and censors divided into several waves and walked into Xiangguo Temple where only the patrol police were left, and began to check and count the "stolen items".
A quarter of an hour, two quarters of an hour, half an hour.
The people watching around were talking louder and louder, like all the hornets' nests on the mountain falling here. The buzzing sound was overwhelming, and everyone's ears were filled with this sound.
Just when everyone was impatient, suddenly the sharp-eyed person shouted: "It's out! It's out!" chapter
