Chapter 631 Killing Cheng Yaojin Halfway
"But they are monks, Fang Wairen, if they don't enter the world of mortals, they don't have to pay food tax." Xiao Yu retorted.

"Monk? Fang Wai? Since they don't belong to the world of mortals, which of the things they eat and use is not from the world of mortals? As far as I know, these grains are not grown by themselves, but they hired tenants and serfs to grow them for them. , What is the difference between their actions and those landlords? Are they my Tang nobles?
It is a group of hypocrites who wear the cloak of monks and fool the ignorant people every day. "

"However, how many people did they feed and support with these grain land?"

Bai Fan laughed loudly, "It's ridiculous. The people were first deceived and donated their land to the temple, and then the temple hired people who didn't have land to plant the land for them, and the food they got was distributed to the people to survive. What is this?
Take the land and food that belonged to the people, and help the people?Old man Xiao, are you crazy or stupid?
Good food from the fields, why did these bald hands unknowingly pass through it?What are they going to do?Use this to win people's hearts?
Based on this point, it is not an exaggeration for Ben Hou to slaughter them in the name of demagoguery and rebellion today. "

What? ? ?
This, is this true?
All the people in the audience were astonished, Lan Tianhou's account was too unbelievable.

If he wasn't Lan Tianhou, or that admirable benevolent gentleman, he would have been overwhelmed by the doubts of the people at this time, but because it was Bai Fan who said this, many people began to reflect on themselves. In this way, the result is chilling. It seems that it is indeed the case. It may not be as red as Lan Tianhou said, but the general outline is not bad at all.

Are the monks in these temples really malicious?Many people have already begun to doubt these monks.

Monk Wuyin saw that the situation was not good, and many people had already started pointing and whispering, snorted coldly, and shouted to Bai Fan: "Lan Tianhou, you poured dirty water on our Buddhism like this today, it's nothing more than It's just for the sake of the dispute between Buddhism and Taoism, you want to suppress us and promote your Taoism.

Still so high-sounding, talk about land issues.

Say that our Buddhist sect occupies too much land and harms the national interest?You go back and ask, as far as I know, the donation of land by the nobles this time is not just for our Buddhist sect, you Taoists have also won over land, you are just a hypocrite who shouted "stop thief". "

What? ? ?
real or fake?

Bai Fan was also a little bit taken aback, Taoism is accumulating money and occupying land?Why haven't I heard of it?

Judging by the soundness of the old monk's words, it seems that there is no falsehood. If this is the case, then the person who made the plan to plot against the Tang Dynasty this time is really not an ordinary person. It is good to provoke a war between the country and Buddhism and Taoism. Vicious mind.

"The Taoist sect has always been clean and self-conscious, and likes to go far away in the mountains and forests. How could they covet any property? Even if there are a few fake Taoist priests who have ruined their reputations, after I clean up you today, I will go find them again. No matter who they are, dare to ignore the court. I, Bai Fan, will not let go of occupying the people's land."

With the dirty water poured on the Daomen by the silent old monk, Bai Fan's words at this time are very pale and powerless. Many officials and people think that this is a dispute between Buddhism and Daoism. Unexpectedly, Lan Tianhou turned out to be a person who pretends to be a public servant.

At this moment, a loud laugh came over.

"Hahahaha, everyone is here, old Cheng is very polite.

I won the first battle today, Lao Cheng, I have gained a lot here, do you want to show it to you? "

What?what happened?Why did Cheng Zhijie come out of Wulou Temple?Could it be that they slaughtered the Wulou Temple by beheading it first?
The silent monk was also surprised, what's going on?The backyard was captured silently?Seeing Cheng Yaojin leading people to rush out from behind, he had an extremely ominous premonition in his heart.

Xiao Yu was furious, pointed at Cheng Yaojin and cursed: "Old man Cheng, do you dare to kill innocent monks first and then kill them?"

Cheng Yaojin exclaimed: "Song Guogong, you don't want to frame me, old Cheng. I just received a report from the masses and went into the house for a routine search. None of the bald monks are dead, they are all there."

"General Cheng, I don't know what you've gained? We've had a bad start here, and the old monk in Wulou Temple is treacherous, but there are still a lot of old and dim-witted people here who listen and believe. It depends on whether you can expose this group of bald monks. It's gone." Fu Yi cupped his hands at Cheng Yaojin.

"Haha, don't worry, everything is under my control, come and bring our witnesses and evidence."

Soon, teams of soldiers came out of Wulou Temple carrying grain bags one by one. After a while, a small mountain of grain was piled up in the square at the entrance of Wulou Temple.

"According to the established plan, a few monks who went out to report the news were going to be let go. It seems that they went to you for rescue. As expected, it was really good. Lao Cheng's performance today really needs you audience Come and join us."

As he said that, Cheng Yaojin stepped forward, drew out the treasured knife from his waist, and cut a big hole in the bag on the grain mountain with a single stroke, and then the blade flew, chopping as he walked, and soon, almost all the bags outside were scratched , all the grain inside was sprinkled out, and it looked like a small grain mountain from the outside.

"Everyone, take a look, have you seen it? This is the stolen goods from the search in Wulou Temple. Take a good look at the bald faces of these thieves." Cheng Yaojin pointed to Liangshan and shouted to the people.

"General Cheng, what do you mean? It's just a pile of old grain. Although a pile of rotten grain is filthy, it's easy to misunderstand if you say it's stolen goods." Pei Ji asked puzzled.

But seeing this batch of things, the old monk Wuyin's complexion has changed, and he secretly complained in his heart, trying to be on guard that he didn't expect the other party to make such a move.

"No, no, this is stolen goods. This is not old grain. Let the old monk tell me, where did this grain come from?" Cheng Yaojin raised his knife and pointed at the silent old monk.

The old monk calmed down and said the Buddha's name, "Amitabha, this general's words are strange, this is the leftover food that has not been eaten in the temple in the past two years, and it has rotted due to poor storage.

What's so strange about this?The past two years of the Tang Dynasty have been a time of prosperity, Your Majesty is wise, and every family has surplus grain. The pilgrims donated sincerely. We are very grateful, but it is our sin to let the grain rot.

Amitabha! "

"What the master said is true, but all the masters are busy all day long, and it is understandable that there are some things that do not have time to do so. These are trivial matters, and the Buddha will not blame them." Xiao Yu quickly excused it.

Cheng Yaojin laughed mockingly, waved his long knife, and ordered his subordinates to bring up a group of monks, they were a group of bald monks covered in blood, the blood was still wet, it was obvious that they had just been tortured up.

"The old monk is really sharp-mouthed, especially shameless!

But what you said seems to be completely different from what your disciples said. Come on, master, I heard that you are in charge of guarding the grain in the storehouse. Come and tell everyone the source of these grains. "

Cheng Yaojin pointed to one of the wounded monks.

The man shrank back in fright, and said tremblingly, "I, I, this, this grain was bought and stored in the temple a few years ago. At that time, there was a severe drought in the north, and the abbot asked us to buy and store more grain. Originally There are 10,000+ catties, and we can’t eat them all in a few years, so they all rot.”
