Chapter 859
Since Zhong Changtong arrived in Luoyang, Luoyang has not calmed down. Zhong Changtong demolished all the Taoist temples inside and outside Luoyang. This naturally caused dissatisfaction among many officials. , Naturally, there are also some masters of metaphysics who are ignorant and inexperienced. They can pinch and count, and naturally figure out that Zhong Changtong is a traitor of a big man. Such behavior will definitely arouse the wrath of God.

At this moment, sitting in the mansion, many officials under Zhong Changtong's command sat on both sides, with solemn expressions. Zhong Changtong looked at the document in front of him, couldn't help laughing, nodded, and said: "It's only three days for you to work hard. All the crooks inside and outside Sili were caught by us, and those who deserved to be killed and demolished, Luo Yang can be regarded as a real Qingping."

These days, the officials' mansion has filled the vacancy of the priest's mansion. However, this time, Zhong Changtong was distributed by scholars with military background. Zhong Changtong was very happy. For three days, the people of the priest's mansion were dispatched everywhere. , All the alchemists in Luoyang were captured, and the temple altars were ruthlessly destroyed by him. Zhong Changtong's notoriety spread in Luoyang within three days, even worse than before.

Some people say that he is a monster on the ground, so he is not afraid of gods.

Some people also say that he is the god of the world, so he is not afraid of other gods.

In any case, Zhong Changtong scared everyone. The great Confucian Zheng Xuan set a bad precedent for the big man. The real origin of metaphysics should be on this man and Wang Fen. The great Confucian Zheng Xuan can count and know the destiny , This is well-known in Dahan. It is said that he once calculated that his house would catch fire and fled ahead of time. Sure enough, a catastrophe ensued.

I also heard that he once met a goddess on the road, and she kept her eyes fixed on him, so that the goddess praised him and told him that there was going to be a fire in his house.

In addition to Zheng Xuan, the other person who promotes these things is He Xiu. In the enlightenment chapter for the people of the world, He Xiu lavishly described the extraordinaryness of Emperor Xiaokang, such as golden dragons, hopeful spirits, etc., which made metaphysics gradually spread in the world. With the rise of the rise, the number of scholars who ruled the changes gradually increased. They observed the sky day and night, and they were good at the art of watching Qi. They could see the extraordinary of ordinary people at a glance, and they were said to know the future.

Just when the whole world was caught in this kind of metaphysics trend, Zhong Changtong was a maverick, no hopeful alchemist, no temple that blessed everyone, as long as he encountered it, he would never end well, Zhong Changtong After Changtong destroyed those areas, Xu Shu quickly found out their crimes. The incense money they collected in the past became evidence of fraud in Xu Shu's pen. became their incriminating evidence.

Therefore, they are all Yin sacrifices, harming the lives of the people, defrauding the people of their money, and even not allowing them to seek medical treatment when the people get sick, insisting on letting them come here to drink some talisman water. Xu Shu followed Jia Xu in the past, but he still learned After getting a lot of things, after catching those monks and alchemists, through various means, they forced them to sign the indictment, and then issued it to the Xingfu.

The servant of the Xingfu shot Man Chong. After seeing these crimes, he was furious, and immediately led people to the sacrificial palace. When many people heard that Man Chong took people to the sacrificial palace, they were very happy. Alright, is our fair and strict Manjun finally going to punish Zhong Changtong?That guy Zhong Changtong arrested people indiscriminately and killed alchemists indiscriminately. He should have been arrested a long time ago!
After Man Chong rushed to the Jifu, it was Zhong Changtong who went out to greet him with a smile.

"Manjun!! Long time no see, how are you doing?" Zhong Changtong smiled and walked up. Man Chong, who has always been cold, also squeezed out a smile, but it seemed even more scary. He nodded. Nodded, and said seriously: "It's still good." Then Zhong Changtong took Man Chong into the sacrificial mansion, Man Chong frowned, and said through gritted teeth: "Thank you Zhong Changjun this time, if it wasn't for you, I didn't even know there were so many villains in Luoyang!"

"Murdering for money and killing people, bewitching people with evil words, you should be beheaded, you should be killed!!" Man Chong said angrily, Zhong Changtong couldn't help but glance at Xu Shu in the distance, how much oil and vinegar did you add to the document? To make Man Chong so angry?Xu Shu lowered his head and said nothing, Zhong Changtong brought Man Chong to the backyard where the criminals were held, Zhong Changtong said calmly: "I arrested 39 villains, and more than 50 people openly drew their swords. Resist, and I will kill you on the spot."

Everyone in the Jifu stood behind Zhong Changtong. Hearing this, they immediately lowered their heads. Where is resistance? It was clearly dealt with by you directly. Those who caught them were led by them. They did not dare to act like Zhong Changtong. Chang Tong was executed so casually that he was brought back here, and more than 50 people were executed openly. The servants of the Xingfu will not turn their faces directly. They secretly raised their heads and observed Man Chong in front of them.

When Man Chong heard this, he was taken aback for a moment, and then asked: "Is there any evidence? Proof that they resisted?"

"Of course, all the soldiers involved in the arrest can prove it."

"Well, very good, come here, take these villains and bring them back to the prison!" Man Chong pointed to the alchemists who were imprisoned in the distance, and in an instant, the guards rushed over, Zhong Chang Tong looked at them calmly without saying a word, seeing that Man Chong was about to take them away, Zhong Changtong hurriedly stopped Man Chong, and said seriously: "Mr. Man, there is one more thing I need to discuss with you. "

"What's the matter?"

"Your Majesty, can Manjun give me an explanation?"

"It's natural, you don't need to say more!" Man Chong said coldly, and left with these people.

Watching Man Chong leave, Zhong Changtong looked at Xu Shu with a smile on his face, and asked: "Those liars, shouldn't they also fool Man Chong?"

"Absolutely not. The reason why I didn't stop you from disposing of those alchemists before was because I knew that the servant of the Xingfu was called Man Chong, and I would stop you from doing this to anyone, but Man Jun, He is a person I admire more, in his eyes there is no superiority or inferiority, no intimacy, no good or evil, only the Han law in his eyes, he is a very fair person."

Zhong Changtong nodded, and looked at the many officials behind him, "Okay, this matter will be handed over to Man Jun to deal with, everyone, these few days have been hard, so let's take a day off today !"

"Thank you, Pushe!" Everyone bowed, but they were convinced of Zhong Changtong in their hearts. He was the only one who was able to deal with so many people in Luoyang without authorization, and escaped from Man Chong's hands. Changtong was gone, and everyone left one by one. Only then did Zhong Changtong close the door and drag Xu Shu back into the study.

"Yuanzhi, these days, I am very happy. I have caught so many liars and dealt with them a lot. With Lord Man in charge, Houde Palace will probably not embarrass us. Your Majesty hates the lives of alchemists the most. However, this seems to have nothing to do with our big plan before we entered Luoyang, the liar will always be dealt with by us."

Xu Shu squinted his eyes and shook his head, "Justice, this has a lot to do with it. I support you in arresting those alchemists. The purpose is not to deal with them. Our goal is the people behind them."

"Oh?"

"Our enemy is Zheng Xuan, and it is He Xiu. Those who talk about the destiny and restrain their minds are our enemies. Our purpose is to untie the shackles on merchants, change the big policy of emphasizing agriculture and suppressing commerce, and equalize the land. No matter how the temple distributes the land, the land will always be distributed one day. What should be done is not to find a way to make the cultivated land accommodate more household registrations. It’s about making the business bigger.”

"Only when the industry and commerce grows bigger can it replace agriculture and receive household registration. In this way, the three ends go hand in hand and the three places receive household registration, so that the people will not have nowhere to live. This is the solution to the annexation. The method of the Son of Heaven is a bit too much. ideal"

Zhong Changtong looked at Xu Shu, the two of them had discussed these words a long time ago, and they also had a common opinion, "We have talked about these things a long time ago, but I mainly don't understand, what is the difference between dealing with liars and defeating those rotten scholars?" relation?"

"If you want to innovate, you have to change the trend of society. If everyone is completely addicted to the gods, they can't even raise their heads, and they don't even dare to have innovative ideas. How can this make business bigger? They won't It is allowed, therefore, what we have to do is to defeat the gods, let the people of the world believe in their own power, and undo the restrictions imposed on them by those decadent theories."

"You have defeated a lot of gods now, don't worry, those so-called metaphysical masters have already started to attack, and after a while, we can officially fight back and defeat these guys..." Xu Shu said calmly .

"Let people in the world not believe in ghosts and gods or destiny", Zhong Changtong muttered to himself, then smiled at himself and said, "Compared to this matter, I think it is easier to promote the Chamber of Commerce and Industry"

"That's natural."

Xu Shu nodded, and then said with a smile: "You can even convince people like me, why, can't you convince other people?" Zhong Changtong shook his head and said with a smile: "That's not true, If our plan is just to promote industry and commerce, the emperor will not oppose us, but if we oppose the destiny, I'm afraid... it will anger His Majesty."

"So, we want to clamor for the promotion of industry and commerce, and secretly do things against the destiny. Fortunately, you hate ghosts and gods. Everyone knows that no matter how outrageous you do, no one will care. But you have to keep in mind that you can follow Others say that they don’t believe in ghosts and gods, or the destiny, it’s up to man, but you must not say that you want people in the world not to believe in ghosts and gods, or the destiny. Otherwise, we won’t be able to see the sun of tomorrow.”

"I understand, you can rest assured. However, is it the emperor's intention or the Shang Shuling's intention that we come to Luoyang this time?"

"It should be the Son of Heaven. I am also a little confused, but this is a good opportunity, so don't think too much about it, and grasp it first."
