Datang Nongsheng

Chapter 83
Sun Xiangfu didn't understand the religious people in this period too well. They were kind when they faced believers, but they were not very friendly when they faced other religions with different beliefs and formed a competitive relationship with themselves.

Sun Xiangfu, who followed Yuan Tiangang all the way out of the gate of the imperial city, unexpectedly saw several yamen guards guarding the gate of the imperial city, and those yamen unexpectedly surrounded him as soon as they saw him coming out.

"This is Sun Xiamu from the Animal Husbandry Supervision Office! My lord is the magistrate of Chang'an County. Sun Xiamu's house is involved in a murder case. The county magistrate sent you to the county government for interrogation."

The head of the yamen's team clasped his fists at Sun Xiangfu holding a summons token from the Chang'an county yamen.

Chang'an is Jing County, and the county magistrate is a high-ranking official of the fifth rank, seven ranks higher than Sun Xiangfu's sixth rank, and three ranks higher than Yuan Tiangang's fifth rank Taishiling, and the county magistrate of Jing County has special privileges. For his summons ticket, all officials below the third rank must come to the court. Of course, blocking people at the gate of the imperial city, this is a bit too much, and it seems a bit disrespectful to the emperor.

When Sun Xiangfu saw these yamen servants, he felt that the mutation of Buddhism might be related to him, and he was afraid that those aristocratic families had come up with new methods to deal with him, so he hurriedly said, "Daoist Yuan, something is wrong, I'm afraid someone wants to take advantage of it." I will deal with the grievances and grievances between your Taoist and Buddhist sects, and I implore you to handle this matter carefully, otherwise, you will definitely fall into the trap of a traitor."

When Sun Xiangfu left the imperial city with Yuan Tiangang just now, he knew through his scolding that Buddhism and Taoism had fought on a large scale several times in these years, and both sides were monks. , kept silent all the time, even if someone died, it would not be the government's turn to deal with it, and they would make explanations in their respective church books and it would be over.

In the former Sui Dynasty, Li Yuan favored Buddha, although Li Yuan raised his voice after he came to power, he has always been indifferent to the struggle between the two major religions. Anyway, they are all in the minority group of monks. a lot.

Yuan Tiangang also felt that something was wrong when he heard the words. First, more than a hundred Taoist priests besieged the Sun Mansion, but as the head teacher, he didn't know it, and then the deadly enemy, the Buddhist sect, launched an attack on the Taoist sect without warning.

You must know that Taoism is now the state religion in name, and Buddhism launched an attack on Taoism when Taoism did not take the initiative to provoke them. Because Li Shimin is different from Li Yuan, he is very jealous of others provoking his authority, let alone the Buddhist sect he wants to suppress.

"Sun Xiamu, let them go first, and when Pindao finds out the situation, he will definitely go to His Majesty to decide."

Yuan Tiangang nodded and said something to Sun Xiangfu, then he and Li Chunfeng hurried to the Sanqing Temple in the city, that is the foundation of the Taoist sect in Chang'an, if the monks disturbed, the loss of reputation, but any money and materials can be recovered no.

"Several, let's go now!"

Sun Xiangfu got into his carriage, and several yamen servants had no choice but to trot along with the carriage. After a while, everyone came to Chang'an County Yamen, which was not too far from the imperial city.

"My lord, Sun Xiamu will bring it here."

In the lobby of the county government office, the head of the yamen servants retreated to the side after reporting. Sun Xiangfu looked at the surrounding environment and found that there were a few pieces of white cloth on one side of the lobby, and there might be some corpses covered under it. Ruthless, in order to frame himself, he actually killed several people.

"My subordinate, Sun Zhengming, has met Magistrate Lu."

Sun Xiangfu had been an official for a few months, and most of the officials with such an important position as the magistrate of Jing County knew their names and gave him a fistful.

"Sun Zhengming, are you convicted?"

Although Sun Xiangfu saluted according to the etiquette, the Lu county magistrate did not give Sun Xiangfu any good looks, and said as if he was interrogating a prisoner.

"Crime? What is the crime of the lower official? Please also ask the adults to say something." Naturally, Sun Xiangfu did not intend that the Lu county magistrate would give him a good face. Fan Yang Lu's people, as long as they don't yell at themselves.

"Hmph, you indulged your slaves and used force against the Taoist priests, killing seven people. This is a serious crime. There are many people in Chang'an City who can prove it. The evidence is as solid as a mountain. Do you still dare to quibble?" Lu County magistrate looked righteous. Said like.

"Uh, then please call them out to confront the officials, and see when the officials indulged the slaves and how they killed seven of them." Sun Xiangfu said without fear at all. If he wanted to play tricks, he had to He has real skills, and Sun Xiangfu also has a secret trump card that no one else knows.

"Hmph, this officer is convincing you now, come and bring witnesses to court?"

After a while, six or seven people dressed as sons came to the hall, the leader was Wu Yingxue's eldest son, Wu Ting.

"My lord, I was the one who saw Sun Xiamu indulge his slaves and beat him to death." Wu Ting pointed at Sun Xiangfu as soon as he entered the hall.

"When? Where?" Sun Xiangfu asked Wu Ting, who looked familiar.

"At noon today, in front of your Sun's residence." Wu Ting replied without hesitation.

"Coincidentally, I was in front of my mansion at noon, but I didn't see any dead people. It's been two hours now. Could it be that these people died in front of my mansion for so long before they were discovered?" Sun Xiangfu like Looking at Wu Ting like a fool, he said.

"These people didn't die on the spot, but were beaten and seriously injured by your slaves, and died of their injuries on the way back."

Wu Ting was well prepared and said without hiccupping.

Sun Xiangfu said with a smile, "Then it seems that you guys are with these dead people, and after watching the conflict in front of my house, another
Lu returned with the seriously injured Taoist priests, so the problem came.

First, they didn't die on the spot, so I'm not guilty of indulging my slaves in beating people to death. Who knows if they were killed by someone later?
The murderer did not die in front of our house anyway.

Second, my family does not have any slaves who know martial arts. They were able to severely injure more than 100 Taoist priests and seven of them died. Your magistrate, you should first verify the identities of those who used martial arts.

Third, what is the so-called reason for these Taoist priests to gather in front of our house?Can my lord have an interrogation?It doesn't matter if you haven't tried it, the lower officials can tell your lord that they actually forced the lower officials to shut down the royal property. Presumably His Majesty should personally intervene in this matter. "

After finishing speaking, Sun Xiangfu looked at Lu Shouyuan above the lobby with a smile.

"Hmph, it's useless for you to quibble. Many people saw with their own eyes that the gang of murderers who beat people came from your house. If they weren't your house slaves, who were they?"

Lu Shouyuan didn't come to reason with him, he was appointed by the eldest son of the family, and he just found a reason to take down Sun Xiangfu.

"Uh, I forgot to tell my lord that some of the royal family's secret industries are developed in my mansion, so the guards stationed in my mansion are Ouchi guards. It seems that the one who took the lead in beating people today is Mr. Renyong, the captain. He is not an official. Your Majesty's domestic slave, but His Majesty's domestic slave, it seems that your lord has not found the right master!"

Sun Xiangfu lifted the trump card in his hand, and stared at Lu Shouyuan with a look of jokes on his face.

"This······"

Lu Shouyuan was at a loss for words, and Wu Ting in the audience was also stunned. This was not performed according to the agreed upon script!Conflict with Ouchi guards who have a mission is tantamount to rebellion.

"Lord Lu, you want 'this'! There is an allusion to this! How about you send the yamen servants to invite the team of guards stationed in my house? Don't worry, the Taoist priests attacking their garrison is a disobedience The imperial decree of the emperor, the yamen servants go, but it is normal business, they might come!"

Sun Xiangfu said jokingly, since it was the place where the emperor ordered the Ouchi guards to be stationed, no matter what reason those Taoist priests had, it was wrong to attack the station, not to mention wounding, even killing them on the spot would be useless.

If the matter stops here, Lu Shouyuan can still say that he received a report and sent someone to question him, it is entirely for official business, as long as Sun Xiangfu is released, then he can pick himself out, no one can find fault with him, But if he wanted to capture Ouchi's guards forcibly, he would have exceeded his authority.

In fact, even for Sun Xiangfu, he only has the right to inquire and verify. Only after checking the evidence can he be impeached and apply for the emperor's disposal, but now!He couldn't even impeach him, because Sun Xiangfu picked himself out in a few words, and the conflict was between Taoist priests and Ouchi guards.

"My lord, don't listen to this man's words. He is the one who ordered those guards to beat up those Taoist priests. He is inseparable from this case."

Seeing Lu Shouyuan hesitate, Wu Ting hurriedly said.

"As I said before, those Taoist priests gathered in front of my mansion to force the lower officials to close down the royal property, and the lower officials ordered the expulsion, but for official business, if you have any doubts, you can go to your majesty and impeach the lower officials.

In addition, since these people said that they saw the Taoist priests being injured during the whole process, and also saw those Taoist priests die of serious injuries on the way back, then please, sir, temporarily detain this person in the county government office, waiting for the investigation of the court, because, the next The official suspects that this person is planning to incite those priests to attack the royal property, and I will go to the palace to ask His Majesty to investigate the case. "Sun Xiangfu pointed at Wu Ting and said humanely.

"Hmph, after entering this county government office, do you still want to get out? Master Lu, the evidence is solid, please settle the case!" Wu Ting saw that the reasoning was unreasonable, so he simply used force and cupped his hands to Lu Shouyuan.

"Uh, it turns out that the evidence is so solid! Then I don't know if Lu County Magistrate has the right to detain me, an official from the sixth rank." Sun Xiangfu's eyes pressed on Lu Shouyuan and said, at this moment, he wanted him to be in the family and his own family. If he made a choice in the future and acted beyond his authority, his official position might not be guaranteed, because Sun Xiangfu also had allies in the court, so he would not let him go.

"Hmph, don't treat yourself as a courtier. Magistrate Lu received a major case and interrogated you unclearly. His Majesty can't justify temporarily detaining you." Wu Ting seemed to belittle Sun Xiangfu, but he reminded Lu Shouyuan.

"Does that mean that when I arrive in the cell, I will immediately commit suicide in fear of crime?" Sun Xiangfu said with a playful look at the arrogant Wu Ting.

"It seems that you are not stupid! Isn't this kind of thing very common?" Wu Ting smiled triumphantly.

"Tsk tsk tsk, fortunately you are not an official, otherwise, you don't know how to harm the people! Since I dare to come, are you still afraid of your tricks? County Magistrate Lu, you want to continue to die with him, Or pick yourself out here, please make a choice as soon as possible, the next official is about to enter the palace, and the guards outside are still waiting!"

Sun Xiangfu seemed confident and fearless, but in fact he was jumping with fright in his heart, and cold sweat was dripping from his vest. He should have brought Mr. Xi to buy it when he went out today, otherwise he would be more confident now, but there is The Ouchi guards supported him, unless Lu Shouyuan went crazy and wanted to die with him, otherwise, his life should be safe.

He was betting that Lu Shouyuan would not dare to sacrifice his own future for the sake of his family. He is a high-ranking official who has reached the fifth rank before the age of 30. It can be said that he has a bright future.

Only a brainless person like Wu Ting would think that such a person would follow the orders of the family without any scruples. Besides, Lu Wenyuan is not the current Patriarch of Fan Yang's Lu family!He is only the first in line of succession.

　The book review area is a bit messy, let me explain a little bit, this book is not about intrigue, and Wang Lin is not a smart type, so why not allow a thousand-year-old family to produce a few dudes?Didn't he add a sentence when he officially appeared on the stage, did he just beat the son of the Duke's family a few days ago?These characters are not important, but a small green leaf that inspires the protagonist to become stronger and become holy.Perhaps there is an intelligent character in this book, that is Li Shimin, who basically does not suffer.Also, I am just a newcomer and small author. Don’t judge me by the level of great gods. There is indeed a difference between my level and theirs. Thank you for your comments. Regardless of whether you have voted or not, at least read the book seriously, and don’t like this book. There is hope for a good place, and I am very grateful.
