Damn it, I'm in the garbage book I wrote

Chapter 311: Preparing for the Destruction of Buddhism
"So after you guys went there, it was Lord Xia who was making trouble inside?"

"Well... Lord Xia asked us who we wanted to make suffer, and I thought it could be him, so I said we were here to dance for Lord Xia." The head constable was usually a close confidant of a big boss, and at this moment his face and eyes were red, and he was about to cry: "So we drew our swords and danced for Lord Xia."

“Hahahahahaha…” The Jiujiang County Magistrate sat there laughing so hard that his thighs turned red: “What happens next?”

"Then he said we danced well, gave each of us 100 taels of silver, and told us to get out."

"One hundred taels? That's a lot."

"Yes, quite a few." The captain sighed as he sat there. "After the brothers came back, they asked me if I would go again tomorrow. If I did, they should bring some rouge and powder, otherwise it would not be sincere enough."

"Oh my..." The county magistrate laughed so hard he was out of breath when he heard this. He never expected that the people under him were all talented and their work was full of a unique kind of black humor.

After the county magistrate had understood everything, he turned aside and asked, "Did Master Dingyi come back with you?"

"They are all back. The female monks, both big and small, have been brought back. Lord Xia even let them live in the big house next to the shipyard. I was the one who arranged it for them. I think that house is much better than the dilapidated temple on the mountain. Whenever I pass by, I always want to live there and take a look. The big house with six courtyards is too big."

"That's good." The county magistrate rolled his eyes and said, "Go, ask the nun to come here. I want to ask her carefully."

"Okay, my subordinate will go right away."

After a while, the old nun came to the county magistrate crying. Although she was old, she was actually only in her early forties. Because she was unmarried and childless, she took good care of herself and still looked charming.

"Oh...why is my Hui'er so sad? Come here quickly and let your brother hold you."

The nun walked over aggrieved, sat sideways on his lap, leaned sideways into his arms and hugged his neck: "Huang Lang, you have to make the decision for me..."

"Good sister." The county magistrate hugged her waist and rocked her back and forth gently. "This master, I can't help you. What did he say when he asked you to come down?"

"He said he would give me the house and told me to turn it into a charity to save orphans and helpless children. He also said to me, 'You don't look like a Buddhist, so you should return to secular life as soon as possible and have a child while you can.'"

"Yes, yes, he's right." The county magistrate's little hand had already reached into the hem of her nun's sister's monk's robe while she was talking, and the clothes were seen rippling like waves. "It's time to have one child. No, no, no, give birth to three! That year when we were on the straw pile, you said you would give me three children."

"Don't act weird... I've been bullied like this, and Huang Lang still makes fun of me." The nun looked so delicate at this moment, and there was no sign of her being a nun at all.

"Bully? That's not right. Who bullied you?"

"The one with the surname Xia!"

"Silly girl, I'm not bullying you. Do you know how much the house I gave you is worth? Besides, he asked you to return to secular life because he probably knew about our relationship. If you want to do good deeds, then you can be a living Bodhisattva in the world. Don't worry, you won't suffer any loss." The county magistrate smiled and said, "Other people in their twenties may speak impulsively, but you have to understand his words. You must do whatever he asks you to do."

"But I was insulted by him."

"He insulted me, not to mention you. He insults everyone." The county magistrate shook his head and sighed: "Go ahead and insult him, don't take it to heart."

At this time, the nun looked up at her lover in surprise: "Why does it sound like he is your superior? Aren't you the highest official here?"

"I am nothing to him." The county magistrate laughed again, but this time he did not explain in detail like he did to his apprentice. Instead, he gently pulled out the belt of the nun and said, "Seeing that my sister is so sad, let's do something to make you happy. The date is almost up. We should be able to see our first son in September next year."

"Hate……"

As early as two years ago, all the abandoned baby towers in Jiangnan Road were demolished, but the problem was that the number of abandoned babies was still the same. Many people even drowned and abandoned their babies. So this idle mansion was used by Xia Lin and handed over to this nun, asking her to adopt abandoned babies.

Xia Lin didn't know that she and the county governor were in such a twilight romance. She just felt that although the nun's eyes were not very smart, she was really kind and had bright and clear eyes. A person's eyes can best reflect a person's characteristics. Those who are bright and clear usually don't have any bad thoughts or bad intentions.

"Oh, right, Huang Lang. Before he kicked me out, he asked me to file a complaint, telling me to report to His Majesty that he was insulting Buddha."

After ending the battle of longing, the two were lying there naming the child when the nun suddenly said this, which made the county magistrate's nerves instantly tense.

"Did he really say that?"

"Ah."

"I was so angry at the time that I didn't take it seriously. I just thought it was enough to tell you. I don't think it's appropriate for a county magistrate to report it to His Majesty." "It's over." The county magistrate suddenly sat up and hurriedly put on his clothes: "This is really a big deal. Sister, take a good rest. I'll be back soon."

"It's already so late... Is there anything that can't be done tomorrow morning?"

"Tomorrow morning? No, no, this is a good opportunity to show off. I will hand over the things tomorrow morning, and then, sister, I will take you to the capital in two days."

"Go to the capital? Why?"

"Sue the emperor and prepare a dowry for my sister."

He hurried out and came to the yamen, where he called all the people from the casework, file, and confidential departments. The entire yamen was brightly lit all night long until dawn. He sorted out all the temples in Jiujiang County and the surrounding counties, and made a rough calculation of all the land and assets of each temple. Although the data was not real, it was basically accurate.

These data were sent to Xia Lin's current location early in the morning. By noon, Xia Lin, who was occupying someone else's temple in Mount Lushan and committing obscene acts, obtained all the data.

After reading it carefully, he frowned and said, "This Jiujiang County Magistrate is a very smart person."

"The one with the surname Huang?" Tang Baoer asked curiously, "Why did he suddenly send these to you?"

"Otherwise, why is it said that he has a very smart mind?" Xia Lin scratched his chin and said, "This old guy has a bright future ahead of him."

Seeing the thick stack of data, Xia Lin flipped through it and his mouth was crooked with smile. This was a really great job, it really went straight to the roots of all the major temples.

"What do you want these things for?" Tang Baoer took a curious look and said, "They are all the temple's land and property."

"Hehe." Xia Lin looked back at Tang Bao and said mysteriously, "At the grand court meeting this year, His Majesty will formally issue an order to appoint a crown prince, and then the crown prince will be the regent. The first thing he will do when he comes to power is to destroy Buddhism, but Buddhism has been deeply rooted for hundreds of years, so there must be a place to start, and Jiangnan Road is the place to start."

"What is the purpose of destroying Buddhism?"

"The temple is the food reserve that your majesty has stored for the new emperor. The gold, silver, and fields here are enough for the new emperor to live in peace for a long time and get through the chaotic period when he first ascends the throne."

"Your Majesty wants to..."

"Yeah." Xia Lin nodded. "Prepare for his funeral. I don't think he will last for a few more days. After he came back from here a few days ago, his work style has changed. He has become more iron-fisted. I got a letter a few days ago. Last month, he investigated the abbot of Daxiangguo Temple. This is a signal."

In fact, Tang Bao understood this. The superiors would never launch a surprise attack. Everything has its traces. After all, there are too many things involved, so he needs to give all the smart people some time to withdraw so as not to kill them all. That's why he sends a signal in advance.

If he still refuses to repent at this time, he will not be able to blame anyone else when he is killed by a sharp knife. After Xia Lin got the news, he began to think about how to start. Originally, he planned to make some trouble in Lushan, and make the Donglin Temple unable to bear it anymore, so he would clash with him by relying on the emperor's grace.

But now it seems that this is not necessary. This county governor is the most astute person he has ever met, and he will escalate the conflict for his own benefit.

Working with smart people saves you time and effort. You just start the process and someone will naturally take over.

"I can have a comfortable New Year." Xia Lin lay on the bed, his hand sliding up along Tang Bao'er's dazzlingly white legs: "By the way, the princess has arranged it for you. You go and recognize Princess Teng as your godmother, and then you and the princess will be cousins. You can marry here together, and your children will all be legitimate. In fact, I really don't care about legitimate or illegitimate children."

"You don't care that I care."

Tang Baoer didn't say anything, but in fact this was already a very big deal. To put it bluntly, it was Her Royal Highness the Princess who was sensible. After all, she was a member of the royal family and had the title of Princess Changle.

No matter how rich she is, she is just a merchant. She made a fuss before because she had no status. Now that she has all the status, it would be impolite to make a fuss again.

"I'm telling you, I don't want to see those prostitutes and maids of yours in my home."

Tang Baoer has already acted like the boss: "I will pretend I can't see you if you leave it outside."

"So Sister Chuntao is also considered an outsider?"

"Of course she is not an outsider. But you still have this Yun and that Yue, what are their identities? You are a noble royal relative, don't let others tarnish your reputation. If you have children in the future, the children will be laughed at."

Tang Baoer's chanting gave Xia Lin a headache. He sat there pretending to look through some information, but he was automatically filtering the content. He had already started chanting before he even passed the door.

What does marriage bring to men?
