Ming Dynasty: Tanks blocked the door and you said to me, "Long live Ming Dynasty"

He couldn't help scratching the back of his head, and his face, which looked like a bitter gourd a moment ago, gradually became smiling.

"That's what the adults taught you!"

"I am ignorant. When I return, I will definitely treat these four sisters well!"

joke!

She’s the Crown Princess, how can we not treat her well?

If my daughter enters the palace and says something bad to the prince, I will have to chop off my heads even if I have a hundred!

On the contrary, if the girl could say a few good words in front of the prince, wouldn't wealth and glory be within her reach?

He kept fantasizing there and didn't even realize that saliva was flowing from the corner of his mouth.

Fang Yuegong ignored him and walked towards another person to continue questioning him.

But the answers he got, without exception, were all within his expectations!

The scholar who failed the exam came here to seek fame and fortune.

A down-and-out businessman came here to seek fortune.

Single bachelors, come here to seek marriage.

...........

And so on and so forth.

In short, just ask for what you lack!

After asking a round of questions, Fang Yuegong returned to Abbot Yuehua and suddenly shouted.

"Fellow villagers, answer this officer!"

"The money and food you donated, are they for the Buddha or for the temple?"

Someone immediately stood up and answered: "Of course it's for the Buddha! These monks in the temple are not gods or Buddhas, so why give them anything?"

"That's right, they themselves said that they are mortals and have no magical powers. It would be better to throw them into the water and hear the noise..."

"........."

Upon hearing this, Abbot Yuehua's face instantly turned ashen.

But before he could open his mouth, Fang Yuegong frowned, pointed at the giant Buddha in the main hall and shouted coldly.

"But you paid for the incense, but your wishes didn't come true!"

"In other words, this Buddha is a fake who only knows how to take money but not how to do things!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a monk with a pale face jumped out.

"How dare you blaspheme the Buddha!"

"If the Buddha granted all wishes, wouldn't he be exhausted to death?"

Fang Yuegong shook his head: "But I heard that the Buddha you mentioned has the ability to penetrate the heavens and the earth, and can split into thousands of bodies. If he is a Buddha, why would he die of exhaustion?"

“If you can’t satisfy the wishes of the pilgrims, why do you still collect incense money?”

Having said this, he raised his voice again and shouted with murderous intent on his face.

"Taking money but not doing anything, in my opinion, that's fraud!"

"Somebody come!"

"Seal off all palaces immediately and search the accounts!"

"Anyone who dares to disobey will be killed without mercy!"

Chapter 314: As long as you ask, I will give you as much as you want.. (rd update)

Upon hearing the order, all the officials and soldiers from the Western Factory immediately started to work.

When Abbot Yuehua saw this scene, he spat out a mouthful of blood on the spot.

He really wanted to say that he was a wealthy man and had tax-free privileges as stipulated by the court.

But Fang Yuegong's question just now directly blocked his excuse!

People all said that the money was for the Buddha, not for him...

Therefore, his tax-free privileges are of no use at this time!

"Abbot!"

Seeing him spitting, monks immediately surrounded him and one of them turned around and ran to the back of the main hall.

"I'll go ask the head of the medical hall!"

But upon hearing this, Fang Yuegong ordered his men to stop him, and walked up to Abbot Yuehua with a smile, and said with a playful look on his face.

"If you are sick, just pray to the Buddha. Why look for a doctor?"

"you........"

When Abbot Yuehua heard this, he immediately spat out another mouthful of blood.

When the people nearby saw this, they seemed to understand something.

It turns out that monks also need to take medicine when they are sick?

Could it be that the Buddha's blessings spoken of by these bald donkeys are all fake?

Or is it that their Buddha nature is not strong enough and the Buddha is too lazy to pay attention to them?

But if even those of them who meditate on Buddhism all day long are not qualified, then who am I?

Why can Buddha protect me?

Thinking about what Fang Yuegong had just said, the people were instantly furious.

"This monk is fake!"

"Damn it! I didn't spend money on food or clothes, and saved money to worship Buddha, but in the end, I worshipped a bunch of fakes!"

"Fellow villagers, come together and beat these bald donkeys to death!"

"........."

Someone took the lead and soon others followed.

Longfu Temple is very popular and attracts many pilgrims on weekdays.

When Fang Yuegong ordered the gate to be sealed, although it was still early in the morning, there were hundreds of pilgrims trapped in the courtyard.

When they started making a fuss, even Fang Yuegong was dumbfounded, but he quickly reacted and waved to his clerks.

"Stand back, don't let the blood splash on you!"

"It's not easy for everyone to make money, don't go back and spend your clothes on it..."

The clerks and guards immediately stepped aside happily.

It doesn’t matter even if the temple is demolished, as long as it doesn’t hinder them from extorting money!

As for what to do if these monks are beaten to death...

Ha ha!

A bunch of scammers who only take money but don't do anything, they deserve to be put to death!

Seeing them retreat to the side, with an expression as if they were just there to watch the fun, the monks were completely panicked.

They are all literary monks!

That is, a monk who can only chant Buddhist scriptures!

Seeing that the officials had retreated to the side, the people became more confident.

If even the government doesn't intend to intervene, then there's nothing to be afraid of.

Killing them is a request!

"beat!"

There was a loud shout from the crowd, and then Fang Yuegong saw a brick flying from somewhere and hitting Abbot Yuehua hard in the face.

The crackling sound of the forehead bone breaking was so heartbreaking.

After the brick slid off his face, it was seen that Abbot Yuehua's nose had tilted to one side.

Blood was oozing from his mouth and nose, his face was pale, his eyes were rolled up, and he fainted.

The other monks were not much better.

Once caught by the people, they would be beaten and kicked.

It's not just them!

Even the lamas wearing red robes and red hats were not spared.

Fang Yuegong watched for a while and felt a little bored, so he walked to the door of the main hall and sat down. He took the pipe from his waist and started to puff on it.

At this time, tobacco leaves had already been introduced to China, but what he smoked was not just shredded tobacco.

Instead, medicinal herbs such as hollyhock, rehmannia root and coltsfoot are added to the tobacco, which has the effect of relieving cough and asthma, and promoting lung function and regulating qi when inhaled.

After taking a few puffs, he looked back at the Buddha statue behind him and suddenly smiled.

"It's a unique experience to smoke a Buddha's ear grass at the entrance of the Great Hall!"

About half an hour later, a minor clerk came back sweating profusely, holding a pile of books.

"Sir, the account book has been found!"

"Then check it out!"

"Yes!"

At Fang Yuegong's command, another clerk brought tables from other rooms and lined them up in a row at the entrance of the hall.

A dozen clerks sat there with an abacus in their hands and started fiddling with the beads according to the numbers in the account book.

The clerks' abacus beads kept clicking.

The sounds of fists and feet beating the monks also continued.

The sound of Fang Yuegong smoking also continued.

Coupled with the shouts and curses of the people, Fang Yuegong suddenly realized that checking the accounts was not as scary as he had thought.

On the contrary, there are some things that make people feel overwhelmed......

"Your Honor!"

"Since the beginning of this year, Longfu Temple has received donations of 84,517 taels of silver from pilgrims! There are 1,420 acres of land!"

"There is also a loan income of 153,719 taels!"

"boom!"

Fang Yuegong was angry, and at that moment a monk happened to be running towards him. He raised his hand and hit him with his pipe.

The hot copper pot hit the man's face, and sparks flew immediately.

The monk covered his face, fell to the ground and rolled over wailing.

Fang Yuegong was still not satisfied, so he kicked the monk hard in the stomach and cursed at him at the same time.

"brute!"

"A bunch of beasts in monk's robes!"

"What's the difference between you and the black bear demon who stole the cassock?"

After scolding, he pointed at a minor official and gave an order.

"go with!"

"Please ask the Jinyiwei to come and tell them that there is an evil monk here who is bewitching people and has evil intentions!"

Usury, also known as loan sharking, has always existed among the people, but it does not mean it is legal!

This matter should have originally been under the jurisdiction of the Dali Temple, but the monks were under the jurisdiction of the monk and Taoist officials of Shanshiyuan.
