Outside Chang'an City.
Chang He has assembled his army and is on standby.
The moment he saw Wei Shuyu, he was extremely sad.
"Shu Yu, you have grown up."
Chang He patted Wei Shuyu on the shoulder: "It would be great if those brats in my family were half as talented as you."
"Uncle Chang is so complimentary."
Wei Shuyu saluted and said, "I am only able to achieve what I am today because of your Majesty's trust."
Chang He shook his head helplessly.
"You are smoother than your father."
"His stinky stone doesn't allow oil or salt to enter."
"..."
Wei Shuyu's mouth twitched.
How many people disliked Lao Wei.
Everyone who talks to him will say something negative about Lao Wei intentionally or unintentionally.
"okay."
After chatting for a few words, Chang He went straight to the topic: "Let's get straight to the point, what do you want my uncle to do?"
"Uncle Chang..."
Wei Shuyu glanced at the soldier and said, "There are seven temples around Chang'an. Could you please Uncle Chang to investigate them all?"
"What is the specific investigation?" Chang He asked puzzledly.
"Investigate everything!"
Wei Shuyu said: "Those who commit crimes and seize land will be investigated if they are found guilty."
"good!"
Chang He didn't ask any more questions.
As a soldier, the most important thing is to obey orders.
But Chang He didn't ask, but Wu Qiqi couldn't help it...
After Chang He left, she couldn't wait to speak...
"Wei Shuyu, you can't do this."
Wu Qiqi asked: "The other party is hidden so deeply, and you are looking for her in such a big way, how could she reveal her flaws?"
"Then how do you think we should check?" Wei Shuyu asked with a smile.
Well……
Although he knew that the other party might be hiding in the temple, Wu Qiqi couldn't think of how to force the other party out.
"You are smart, but you are still far behind in the art of war!" Wei Shuyu joked.
cut.
Wu Qiqi pouted.
Time flies by...
By the afternoon, Wei Shuyu had a stack of lists in his hand.
Xiangguo Temple exploited the people and made thousands of profits.
There are many prostitute monks in Mingyue Temple, who specialize in seducing women from good families.
Daci Temple has seized hundreds of acres of people's land...
this……
Wu Qiqi was confused.
"How long has it been since the Buddha was destroyed, and these people started acting like monsters again?" Wu Qiqi said speechlessly.
"nature."
Wei Shuyu said with a smile: "Monks are also human beings. If they don't commit crimes, what do they do for a living?"
"Do you really think you can support such a huge temple with some incense money?"
After Shangbu was born.
Rich people are busy making money.
Because Wei Shuyu did not believe in Buddhism... businessmen did not dare to openly approach Buddhism.
At least the businessmen near Chang'an are not very interested in Buddhism.
And officials...
Li Shimin is about to destroy the Buddha, who dares to take the lead?
Xiao Yu, the last prominent figure, has already been dismissed from office.
"Then what do you mean..."
Wu Qiqi looked along the temples on the list...
Famen Temple, Foguang Temple.
These two temples were the only ones who behaved themselves and did not commit any crimes.
"If you don't show the telltale sign, it's the biggest telltale sign!" Wei Shuyu said with certainty.
The mastermind.
To put it bluntly, they are rats hiding in the dark.
A rat cannot commit a crime against the odds and risk being caught.
"Let's go to these two temples together..."
Famen Temple.
It was first built in the Huanling period at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
It was called "Ashoka Temple" before the Zhou and Wei Dynasties. It was renamed "Chengshi Taoist Temple" during the reign of Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty. It was renamed "Famen Temple" during the reign of Emperor Gaozu of the Tang Dynasty.
"Amitabha."
After learning that his temple was surrounded by soldiers again, the abbot reluctantly came out.
"Donor Wei, you are so polite. I wonder what I can do if you come to Famen Temple?" Xuankong said with his hands clasped together.
"fine."
Wei Shuyu smiled: "I heard that Famen Temple has a long history, so I came here to visit it."
Wei Shuyu went straight in with his hands behind his back.
He looked up and admired the lifelike Buddhas.
Famen Temple is indeed a big temple.
Its architectural pattern is really nothing to say.
"Qiqi..."
Wei Shuyu stretched out his hand.
Wu Qiqi immediately handed over three lit incense sticks.
Wei Shuyu took it and bowed three times to the Buddha statue.
For Buddha...
He didn't believe it, but he respected the famous places and historical sites.
What he worshiped was not the Buddha, but this ancient building that has been passed down to later generations for more than a thousand years!
"correct."
Inserting the incense into the incense burner, Wei Shuyu looked at Xuan Kong: "I took the lead in destroying the Buddha, and you are not angry at all?"
"Amitabha."
He raised his hands in the air and clasped his hands together again: "Buddhism pays attention to the tranquility of the six roots, so there is nothing to be angry about such trivial matters."
"Donor Wei eradicated some fake monks who relied on the temple to swindle."
"It's too late for me to be grateful."
Wei Shuyu glanced at the abbot in surprise.
It seems that Xuankong still has some sharp eyesight.
"Then if I beat you, will you be angry?" Wei Shuyu said with a smile.
"Amitabha."
Xuankong muttered another sentence: "Almsgiver Wei's words are too violent. I have a volume of meditation called the Heart Sutra that can help you eliminate your anger."
"Yeah?"
Wei Shuyu smiled: "I know that Buddhism pays attention to a calm mind."
"But I also believe in keeping my word!"
Wei Shuyu waved his hand: "Little Jiji, I leave it to you."
"okay."
Cui Shenji was alive when he heard this.
Suddenly I felt energetic.
He took out the bricks and walked towards Xuankong with a mean smile.
"Bold..."
Seeing this, the other monks in the temple immediately stood up.
"Whoever dares to challenge the host will fight with you!"
"Wei Shuyu, you have offended the Buddha by killing him, and you will be punished!"
"Amitabha, I would like to receive the abbot's teachings on my behalf. I wonder if that's okay?"
All the monks spoke one after another.
The group of warrior monks gripped their sticks even more tightly, looking ready to fight at any time.
"Get out of your way, or I will lead my troops and crush your Famen Temple!" Cui Shenji said with a smile on his face.
"Amitabha."
He clasped his hands in the air to stop the conflict between the two parties.
"Buddha said, if I don't go to hell, who will?"
"If I receive a beating, it will dispel the hostility of Master Wei."
"I am willing."
The words fell.
Xuan Kong walked up to Cui Shenji, pointed at his bald head and shouted...
"Come on, hit me on the head!"
"..."
Wei Shuyu was stunned.
Are you sure you are a monk?
Are you the fucking leader in Causeway Bay?
For ordinary people, they might be really fooled.
But who made you meet Cui Shenji?
Cui Shenji was not tall enough, so he jumped to take the photo...
boom.
The air was opened.
He fell to the ground.
He touched his bald head in confusion, and it was bleeding...
"..."
Brat, are you really going to hit me?
Lao Na is the abbot, the abbot of a famous temple!
"Excuse me."
Wei Shuyu stepped forward and helped him up: "Little Jiji's head was pinched by a door when she was a child, so she may have misunderstood what I meant."
"I just asked him to donate some incense money."
"..."
Cui Shenji stared.
The big pot is a lie, my head has never been caught in the door!
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter..."
Waving his hands in the air.
I’ve been beaten, what else can I do?
Didn't you see that there were thousands of soldiers surrounding you outside?
"Mr. Wei, something unexpected happened outside Famen Temple."
At this moment, a soldier hurried over to report.
"What accident?"
Wei Shuyu frowned.
"The Imperial College army was stealing food from the surrounding area and was surrounded by hundreds of villagers..." the soldier replied awkwardly.
"..."
Wei Shuyu's face turned dark.
You guys really find things for me to do.
They are all descendants of distinguished nobles, what's the difference of a few cents?
Just as he was about to go out to rescue the siege, Wei Shuyu was stopped at his feet.
"Master Xuankong, I wonder if you can come forward and make peace?"
Wei Shuyu thought for a while.
Famen Temple is the local leader here.
It is better to let them make peace than to mediate oneself.
It is taboo for soldiers to clash with civilians.
If one of them fails, he will be impeached by Yushitai again...
"Lao Na..."
Xuan Kong didn't say a word and just pretended to be stunned.
You beat me up, but you still want me to help you?
Dream on you!
"..."
Wei Shuyu looked at the other monks.
"Donor Wei, it's not that we don't want to come forward."
A highly respected monk saluted and said, "It is you who destroyed the Buddha and ruined our reputation."
"Now the nearby villagers don't have a good look when they see us."
Wei Shuyu was speechless.
This can be considered a little negative impact.
"But Nanxiu, who delivers vegetables to our temple, has a good relationship with the nearby villagers."
"She happens to be in the temple today, so let her help mediate..."
After saying that, the senior monk asked the young novice to go to the temple kitchen to invite people.
"Trouble."
Wei Shuyu gave a salute.
While waiting, I donated a few coins.
soon……
The young novice brought back an old woman who was nearly fifty years old.
The old woman's face is sagging, her temples are turning white, her former appearance has faded away, and her bulging back seems to have witnessed her being crushed by reality.
She lowered her head, her eyes were filled with fear, and her body was trembling slightly.
The moment her eyes fell on Wei Shuyu, she waved her hands in panic to greet...
"Old...old woman Nanxiu has met Doctor Wei."
