The world of film and television

Chapter 423
The presiding abbot is going crazy with anger, this little monk has been trained to be an idiot, he dares to believe anything! !

Regardless of entanglement with this stupid monk, the host overthrew the young monk, and walked quickly towards the temple gate, patting the dust on his body while walking, thinking about what caused the army to surround him.

Harboring criminals?

No, the two in the temple are not considered serious crimes, there is no need to use large troops to encircle and suppress them.

Life lawsuit?

It's not right, and no one from the temple did it, so it can't be implicated here.

Could it be that the women in the cellar behind were discovered?
Probably not...

No, this matter needs to be prepared early. If it’s not possible, I don’t care about it so much. I want to destroy the corpse as soon as possible, but I really don’t want to bear it!

On the way, another great monk who received the notice also hurried over and had a face-to-face meeting with the host. The host quickly pulled someone over and muttered a few words, and agreed on a secret signal. As long as the host made this gesture, the corpse would be destroyed immediately. To wipe out their traces must not let their reputation of Shaomu Temple's millennium be destroyed.

The great monk understood and didn't follow, but fell far behind.

When he came to the gate of the temple, the eagerness on the host's face disappeared immediately, and a faint smile appeared on his face. The smile was very gentle, giving people a feeling of spring breeze, peaceful and indifferent, as if they would never compete with the world.

"Open the door!"

Following the order of the abbot, the gate of the temple opened slowly with a creaking sound. On weekdays, the pilgrims who offered incense would go through the small gate, and this gate would never be opened by non-visited guests.

Of course, in front of the Buddha, everyone is equal and there is no distinction between high and low. The difference is that it is not convenient to open the door, um, that's it...

As the gate opened, the host saw Qi Zonghui standing at the front with a stern face wearing armor, behind him there were two square teams of one hundred people neatly lined up, and the other three sides of the temple were surrounded by hundreds of people on each side.

Beside Qi Zonghui, there were five other people wearing official uniforms, but it could be seen that they were obviously not from the army.

The host took a deep breath, and subconsciously shook the hand that was hidden in the monk's robe. He secretly thought that it was not good. These people all had evil spirits, and they obviously had bad intentions.

However, he still had a peaceful smile on his face, maintained the same rhythm as before, took a step slowly, folded his hands together and bowed slightly, "Amitabha, what are you talking about here?"

Qi Zonghui was expressionless. Before coming, Wang Xuan specially called him over and ordered a lot of things. He naturally knew what to do. At this time, he looked at the presiding monk expressionlessly, and said in a cold and emotionless voice. Said: "I was ordered to search."

This temple is considered to be the heyday of incense in Fuzhou Prefecture. Although there are many believers in Xincheng Taoist Temple, but the temple is old after all, and there are more pilgrims here.

The incident was so serious that a large number of pilgrims who came to offer incense had gathered around and started pointing and whispering. Faced with this situation, the host felt a tinge of joy in his heart.

These countless believers are their foundation. He believes that in front of so many believers, even a large army would not dare to act recklessly, otherwise, they would lose the hearts of the people and be reviled by thousands of people.

"My benefactor, this is a pure place of Buddhism, and the swords and soldiers are unknown. Please don't come in, so as not to offend the Buddha!" ​​The smile on the host's face remained the same, but the meaning inside and outside the words became much stronger.

"The pure land of Buddhism..." Qi Zonghui repeated, and then smiled coldly, "The world is so big, is it the land of the king, the shore of the land, is it the king's ministers, this is the world of my Ming Dynasty, the land of the Ming Dynasty, you are mere Does the Buddhist sect want to be independent from me, Daming?"

Qi Zonghui's tone suddenly became severe, "Old monk, let's talk after we think about it, are you going to rebel!"

The voice revealed a rolling evil spirit, merged with the 200 people behind him, and pressed towards the host abbot.

Not to mention the host who bears the brunt of this evil spirit, even the pilgrims who are watching the fun don't feel overwhelmed.

The host's face twitched. He didn't expect Qi Zonghui to be so tough that even the court and the imperial power were brought out. This made him not know what to say for a while. As for contradicting, he really didn't dare.

After all, in public, the authority of the emperor is strictly not allowed to be desecrated, no matter how everyone doesn't care about the authority of the emperor in private, but on the surface, no one can say it.

Now that Qi Zonghui has taken the lead, the host is a little bit tied, even though he knows that Qi Zonghui is actually the running dog of the 'devil' Wang Xuan, and this time it represents Wang Xuan's meaning, but he can't say this .

The corner of the host's mouth twitched violently a few times, trying to maintain the smile on his face, but the peacefulness was a little deformed, it was too stiff.

"The poor monk dare not, of course this world belongs to the Ming Dynasty, but I don't know, what are the benefactors talking about this time?"

"Hmph!" Qi Zonghui snorted coldly, "It's good that you understand, you must know that the power of heaven is unpredictable, this time, under the order of the prefect Xu, we will investigate all the land in the prefecture, and take out all the land deeds of your temples. It has been verified, remember, don’t try to hide it and don’t report it, don’t say it’s unexpected!”

Now, the face of the host really changed. Under Wang Xuan's forceful suppression, how could he not know about the investigation of the fields in the whole province, but, they had not been investigated in their Buddhist temples before.

After all, temples have been tax-free since ancient times. This is also the reason why Buddhism can grow and have strong financial resources. A large number of lands are under the name of temples to avoid taxation. Of course, temples also charge fees. However, Except for the time of 'three martial arts destroying Buddha in one week'.

Until the founding of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang was also a monk, so he knew it better. After he ascended the throne, there was a "abolition of the law temple". .

It didn't change until Yao Guangxiao helped Zhu Di rebel. In the middle of the Ming Dynasty, the temple developed greatly, and a large amount of land became the property of the temple to avoid taxation.

This time, Wang Xuan's action of checking the farmland in the whole province was not taken seriously by Shaomu Temple at the beginning. Except for the tyrants like "San Wu Zhou", no one in the past dared to collect Buddhist taxes, even this "San Wu Zhou Zhou" 'And let them all die.

It never occurred to them that looking at Wang Xuan's intentions, he actually wanted to attack their Buddhist land.

"General, what do you mean? These lands belong to my Buddhist sect and are dedicated to the Buddha!" ​​The host obviously became anxious, the smile on his face disappeared completely, and he looked at Qi Zonghui with cold eyes.

"Why, the Buddha still has to eat rice!" Qi Zonghui said with a sneer because he was not an ordinary person and didn't understand the key points.

"How dare you slander the Buddha." The host's expression sharpened sharply, and he immediately read: "Where the Mahayana scriptures are being performed, if there are sentient beings who hear the Mahayana scriptures and don't like to hear it and make slander, you should know that it is the evil spirit's family who slanders the Mahayana scriptures. Falling into death and suffering immeasurable suffering. Reborn hungry ghost eating fire, excrement and urine. I have suffered for countless kalpas..."

"Enough!" Qi Zonghui's complexion changed, he let out a loud shout, and was cursed face to face, these damn bald donkeys.

"The state-owned state law, check your land deed, if you can't get it out, you will have no property at all, and there will be no owner of the land at that time, no wonder the imperial court confiscated it!"

Qi Zonghui took a step forward, staring at the host, "I will only give you a cup of tea, if you haven't brought out anything after a cup of tea, then I will turn around and leave!"

"You!" Seeing that this matter was going to end, the host could only grit his teeth, but he didn't dare to say anything. As for beating Qi Zonghui to death with one palm, the host had the ability, but he didn't dare!

Taking a deep breath, the host turned his head with a livid face and said to the following monk, "Go and get all the land deeds from the temple."

A group of monks also had ugly faces, cursing Qi Zonghui in their hearts that he is a devil, he must go to Abi Hell, suffer [-] kinds of torture, and never be reborn, and helplessly go back to move the title deed.

Many of the believers onlookers looked ugly. Some of them were wealthy families. In order to evade taxes, many of their properties were said to be sheltered in temples. But now they are strictly checking the land deeds, and I am afraid that something big will happen.

After all, it is land property, and it is the foundation of the ancestors. How could it be changed to the name of the temple? , or after doing bad things, they will go to the temple to burn incense and seek psychological comfort.

This is the same as going to 'Brother Di' to confess. After talking in the confession room, the pastor will tell you that 'Brother Di' has forgiven you, and you can leave after paying the money.

What to do, many people who know some inside information have already panicked.

The land deeds are all treasures of inheritance, so they are naturally put together in the temple for safekeeping. Now, two monks carried them out together.

The host raised his chin and signaled to put it on the ground. It must be in public, so as to prevent these malicious guys from doing anything.

He was really afraid, afraid that these people would go crazy and directly destroy these land deeds. At that time, Wang Xuan would absolutely refuse to admit it. What if they insisted that they did not have the land deeds?
He believed that that despicable and shameless devil would definitely be able to do such a thing.

Qi Zonghui understood the other party's plan by watching the host's actions. Wang Xuan had analyzed all this with him before. .

To deal with you, I will act as an upright teacher!

He turned his head and signaled to several tax officials beside him, and immediately the five of them stepped forward to check.

A thick title deed record book, which indicates the ownership of all the land in Fuzhou Prefecture, and only this temple is left without inspection and comparison.

One person took out a title deed and began to check the authenticity, and then handed it over to the next person for comparison. The five people were divided into two groups, and the last person supervised.
