Northern Dynasties

Chapter 195 lack of heart
There are still some sporadic battles in the temple, but the situation has basically been brought under control.

The entrances and exits of the temple and some of the most important places in it were occupied, and the monks were divided into various parts of the temple, and there were very few people who dared to stand up and resist again.

Li Tai and Liu Min met in the storage area of ​​the temple's melting and casting workshop, and opened several warehouse doors to reveal the goods piled inside.In one of the warehouses, there are many Buddha statues destroyed as prostitutes, which are obviously part of the looted materials.

The process of looting the officers and soldiers in this temple was also interrogated. First, several households involved in the incident were greedy for such a huge amount of supplies, and then they sent people into the temple to negotiate, and the two hit it off.

The monastery sent a group of monks and soldiers in the name of parade to promote the Dharma, and then joined forces with the tribes of the townspeople to catch up with the officers and soldiers who escorted the supplies, and cooperated with each other internally and externally to solve Liu Min's tribes.

The servants escorted by the team did not dare to resist under the pressure of military officers, tyrants, and temples, and obediently cooperated to transport the supplies to Hongfa Temple.

Among the materials, the food, silk and other goods have been divided by the parties involved, but the materials related to Buddhist rituals are still stored in the temple, ready to be melted down and recast to continue to divide the spoils in the next year.The statue of Maitreya that Li Tai ordered used many of its materials.

In addition to the lost materials, Liu Min is more concerned about the safety of his missing parts.A few of the captives in the temple were selected as guides, and they were introduced to the places where the bones were buried.

Liu Min personally scraped open the newly-covered mound of earth, held up a torch to carefully examine and identify the corpses, tears welled up in his eyes: "The dog thief, An Gan, the dog thief...I want you to pay with your blood! "

Liu Min drew out his saber and killed the monks who led the way here, but he was still angry and ordered some of the monks to stay here to collect the corpses of their companions for burial, while he led the others back to the temple , Anyone who sees a monk wearing a monk's robe will be chopped off with a knife.

Li Tai rushed over upon hearing the news, and saw that Liu Min looked like a madman, his whole body was covered in blood, and his eyes were also blood red.

He could understand Liu Min's mood. Although they are called masters and servants, they have a deep relationship of life and death on the battlefield. He thought it was just a safe escort, but he didn't want hundreds of songs to suffer. The massacre, if it were Li Tai himself, I am afraid that the revenge will be even crazier.

But even though the temple has been captured now, the matter is still not over.This temple is still an extrajudicial place that the government has no control over, but there are still those township tyrants who are in the same case living separately in the local area. If they are allowed to launch a trilogy to instigate a civil uprising, it will undoubtedly cause serious harm to the local area.

So he stepped forward, raised his hand to hold down Liu Min who was still wielding the knife, and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Liu, please bear with your sorrow for a while, the evidence of the crime is conclusive now, and those involved in the case will never escape the law. But the most important thing right now is not to let this disaster rot in the local area. The remaining bandits are scattered in the countryside. Once they sense the crisis, they will be in a hurry to save themselves. It is advisable to tell the counties and counties to take precautions and not be taken advantage of by thieves!"

Liu Min also regained some composure at this moment, raised her hand to wipe away the tears on her face, but her face was covered with plasma again.

He was not in the mood to worry about these details, but hesitatingly said: "These thieves are entangled in the village, and there is no lack of power to probe into the government. If they sue, will there be more drastic changes?"

His thoughts were obviously still a little confused at the moment, so Li Tai continued: "It is reasonable for me to wait for the entry to recover the stolen goods, and it is also within the responsibility of the county to keep the government safe. Even if the local thieves are able to coerce the government, it is also the crime of the superior." , we have no responsibility! But if a civil uprising is triggered by hunting for stolen goods and killing thieves, even if we have the mission of chasing thieves, we will inevitably be responsible for disturbing the local area!"

Liu Min also came to her senses when she heard this, nodded and said: "Boshan, you are right, the current mission is full of ups and downs, if you really don't want to cause trouble, it will be your own fault. Even if there is a hidden traitor in the county, it is not our fault. I will immediately dispatch my staff to report to the nearby government, we just need to keep this side safe!"

After realizing this, he didn't bother to kill the monk to vent his anger, and immediately entered the hall to write an emergency letter, and dispatched his staff to send it out.

Li Tai was originally a helper, so he didn't have to worry about how to deal with the aftermath. Instead, he went back to the storage area of ​​the temple and quickly took stock of the harvest.

Strictly speaking, the treasury in this temple is also stolen goods and should be transported to the Bafu.

However, he did not come here to suppress the bandits under the formal order of the Bafu, but Liu Min's personal relationship. He participated in it as a volunteer soldier. Of course, he was not obliged to report to the Bafu how many supplies he had seized.

The Tyrant Mansion was not responsible for his marching expenses, and all supplies had to be self-raised on the premise of not violating laws and regulations. All of his parts were gold swallowing beasts, and every dispatch would consume a lot of supplies. This is also impossible.

The main business of this Hongfa Temple is to cast Buddha statues, so there are a lot of related materials in the temple, including various finished products, and several large warehouses have been piled up.

It was difficult to check and weigh carefully for a while, until the trilogy found a few deacon monks who managed warehouses among the captives, and obtained the relevant registration books from them, then it was considered an approximate number of captured people.

After finding these important accounting books, Li Tai turned his head and ordered Bu Qu to set fire to the room where the books were stored, while he frowned worriedly while holding those accounting books and looking through them.

Sometimes gaining too much can be annoying.Many physical objects were seized, but they were not like a string of numbers in later generations that could be washed clean after a few laps.Although filling one's pockets is a basic operation, it is not easy to do it too blatantly.

After pondering for a while, Li Tai asked people to summon several surviving monks in charge of the temple, including the old monk who received him before, who was still slightly drunk with hazy eyes.

"Two choices, one is to bow down immediately and become my slave, and the other is to save the dead now. One, two..."

Before Li Tai could count to ten, several monks had already knelt down and called for mercy from the Lord.

After the few people were forced to surrender, Li Tai immediately assigned them tasks, ordering them to be responsible for organizing the surviving monks in the temple, especially those workshop craftsmen who had made Li Tai envious before. All should be taken as their own family slaves.

When Liu Min found him again, Li Tai had already come up with a preliminary distribution plan.

Except for a few monks who were captured by the home slave organization, all other registered monks in the monastery will be classified as prisoners of criminals.For the thousands of craftsmen and their families in the workshop, Li Tai wanted to include them as part of a series.He also kept half of the various materials seized in the temple.

None of these people and things will be submitted in the report.As for other gains, Li Tai didn't care.Like the temple, the temple fields, and the monks, they can't take them away, and the local government will certainly not let them take them away.

As for the other personnel in the temple, Li Tai doesn't care whether Liu Min wants to keep the first floor, or collect all of them and send them to the Overlord's house.

Liu Min is not as poor as Li Tai. As a shareholder of Hedong Yanchi, he is still a local tycoon with many assets.This matter was due to his dereliction of duty first, there is a high probability that he will not be as ugly as Li Tai, and he should send the personnel to the Taiwan government and dare not stop him.

However, in line with the principle of being in the same boat and not being able to do all the dirty work by himself, Li Tai put forward a suggestion, it is better to build another Zuojin Buddhist temple, and use its harvest as supplies for this trip.In this way, Liu Min didn't have to pay him another sum of money.

No matter how wealthy the family is, money does not come from strong winds, and it is also a business strategy to increase revenue and reduce expenditure.

Moreover, Liu Min is still deeply hating the monks who brutally killed him hundreds of times, and the Samana hated it deeply. After hearing the words, he nodded and said bitterly: "The reason why I succeeded in recovering the stolen goods in this trip is all due to Boshan." It is extremely dangerous. Boshan, please lead your troops here to rest, and tomorrow morning I will lead my troops to search for supplies!"

After the two settled on this plan, they discussed and selected a target.In addition to this Hongfa Temple, there are several other temples in Chentou Mountain. The scale is not as grand as this one, but there are also some believers.

It is still unknown how the county government will react. In order to avoid further disturbing the nostalgia, they selected a temple with the least reputation tens of miles away.

It is said that this temple was built here by foreigners, and they are not keen on attracting believers and expanding their influence in the local area.Although the name of the temple is not well-known, it is very generous. In recent years, there have been quite a few diggings, and the scale is not small, and it has ordered Buddha statues from Hongfa Temple many times. It should be some unknown source of income behind the scenes.

This temple was not deeply connected with the village, and it seemed so thievesy, so it was naturally a very suitable target.

At dawn, Li Tai led his troops to stay here to continue cleaning up and sorting out the affairs in the temple, while Liu Min led his troops northward to attack.

In the morning, some villagers approached the temple to look around and explore, but they were all driven away by Li Tai's dispatched troops, and the envoys who went to the counties to report the emergency had not yet returned.

In the afternoon, Liu Min, who was out, sent someone to report that the attack on the temple encountered resistance and resistance. Although the scale and people of the temple were not as large as those of Hongfa Temple, the monks and soldiers were extremely brave.

After Li Tai learned of this situation, he felt a little bad in his heart. Could it be that the temple is some kind of white glove used by the gangsters to contact the outside world and sell stolen goods?
He is still thinking about what to do here. The Beidi County government has sent staff and envoys to report that the county is already gathering township groups to suppress the riots in the township.With this guarantee, Li Taicai sent Zhang Shinu to lead [-] troops to reinforce Liu Min.

In the evening, Liu Min led the crowd back, but his expression was very ugly. When he saw Li Tai, he said shyly, "Boshan, we must have caused trouble. Do you know who the temple belongs to? After we entered the temple, we The lotus thrones of the late Shangdang King and the ancestors of his clan were found in its Buddhist hall. If there is no accident, this temple should be the family temple of the Changsun family..."
