So, after the surrounding sergeants made several rounds of slogans; in the full view of the officials and civilians who came to watch after hearing the news; the monks who guarded the walls and gates also seemed to be driven by some irresistible force. , actually screamed and jumped down from above.
Then, they struggled and waved in various weird postures, and fell to the ground paved with bricks and stones; they made a series of dull crashing sounds. In the blink of an eye, the severe cases were killed on the spot with their livers and brains smeared to the ground; the lighter cases had their hands and feet broken, squirming and wailing in a pool of blood.
Even those who were lucky enough not to be seriously injured were still badly injured and were captured and dragged away by the soldiers who came to the palace. So, for a while, the monk soldiers who were still entrenched on the wall were frightened and fled in a panic. They screamed and fled completely.
After all, except for the dozens of leading monks who serve as the backbone and the backbone, who have been trained for many years in special strength training and various skills; the other monk soldiers have actually learned rough fists and kicks, which are used to collect rent. And those who guard against bandits and bandits are just ordinary young monks.
Therefore, just a moment later, the heavy and thick gate of the monks' quarter where the temple is located slowly opened from the inside out, as if automatically in the absence of wind, revealing the already empty interior. And faintly visible in the distance are palaces and pavilions with carved beams and painted edifices.
At this time, the many palace soldiers and guards who were surrounded outside were silent for a moment in shock and confusion; and it was Ye Jing, the rear general, who first shouted:
"The Daxing Shan Temple has caused chaos and dared to resist the king. Now it has been punished by God."
"All you gentlemen, why don't you come with me quickly to rectify the source and wipe out the evil spirits!"
"Rectify the source and wipe out the evil!"
At this time, the Sakon generals suddenly realized what they were doing, and they immediately had a backbone and a basis for action. Immediately, there were roars and shouts, and people swarmed in with knives and guns and held their regiment cards high; it turned into a commotion that quickly spread through the temple, like screams and roars.
"The army behind the palace is arresting the thieves. Anyone who dares to obstruct them will be regarded as a bandit."
"Search carefully, and don't miss every crack."
But the scholars and civilians who were hiding at street corners and behind walls and watching from a distance erupted belatedly, with a series of exclamations, surprises, shock and awe, and even incredulous and unbelievable uproar.
"Han (56) Wu Liu"
After receiving the prompt, the little round-faced man came to his senses faster than the others, but he once again named a person next to him. General Bian, whose appearance was somewhat similar to that of his subordinate Han Sansi, said:
"You will lead a team of people inside to monitor the order, and be on guard against anyone taking the opportunity to cause trouble, rob or set fire, in order to ruin our reputation. However, those who act suspiciously will be taken down as well, and those who dare to disobey will be killed without mercy."
"Li Shuping."
Immediately afterwards, she said to another civil servant who came with her:
"I order you to bring a group of officials and follow Han Qin into the place to check and seal all the storage locations. Make sure nothing is left out."
"Got the order!"
"As you command!"
And when they all bowed to accept it and left. The little round-faced man signaled his close relatives to follow him, expanded the warning range, and moved away in disguise. Then, facing the car decorated with white copper and silver flowers, he reappeared and said eagerly:
"Ancestor, what do you think?"
"Strictly speaking, I can only give you a barely passing grade. And the focus must be on how to deal with it afterwards!"
Jiang Tian criticized without hesitation:
"Is it just barely passing? I wonder if Man'er has any other inappropriate things..."
Hearing this, the little round-faced man quickly raised his face and asked earnestly:
"Because you haven't fully formed the awareness and concept of being a superior. Originally, you left it to Hong Dashou, Han Sansi, and even Ye Jing to handle this kind of matter; their wealth and future depend on you, even if you have There is also the possibility of things changing and making amends after the fact.”
Jiang Tianran explained:
"However, since you have already come forward, it is destined that this matter must have an outcome on the spot. Otherwise, the prestige and personality you have established before will be wasted. Therefore, I can only take action; I still hope You can be more cautious next time.”
"Ancestor..."
Her small round face showed an expression of hesitation, but her inner emotions revealed her true feelings:
"Someone actually persuaded you to come?"
Then Jiang Tian was surprised and said:
"This may not necessarily contain evil intentions, but it is undoubtedly an unqualified advice and suggestion; it is best not to put it in a close position, so as not to implicate other people."
"Man'er understands, so I'll let her down..."
The little round face clenched his fists, secretly making some determination.
Although she was a little reluctant to part with her, because the other party had been very friendly since they got acquainted with her, and she kept thinking about her. But after experiencing those things along the way, it was enough for her to understand that sometimes well-intentioned intentions may not necessarily lead to a good result.
"The more you go down the road that is attracting everyone's attention, you will inevitably face various choices and temptations of gain and loss."
Jiang Tian felt her faint struggle again, and added again:
"So, as a qualified superior, there is nothing you cannot give up for this, including the help I have provided; when necessary, you can also erase all traces of my existence and attribute all great power to yourself."
"Can't!"
But the little round-faced man felt as though his heart was in turmoil, and he reacted fiercely and said decisively:
"No matter what, Man'er will never abandon our ancestors! If that's the case, Man'er would rather not give up this inheritance."
"Then you will turn your back on this in disguise, those people who have followed you all the way, trusted you, and are willing to give up their lives for them, believing that you can bring different changes to them?"
Jiang Tian continued to attack her and said:
"And along the way, you once vowed to do your best to help those whose families have been destroyed and displaced."
"Man'er, Man'er..."
The little round face suddenly looked a little distraught, with an expression of hesitation and confusion on the spot;
However, just when Jiang Tian thought that this issue needed to be calmed down, reflected and pondered for a while, there would be results. But seeing her struggling again and again, her eyes gradually became firm and she said:
"In this case, Man'er will find a way to find another way; thinking that he will neither let down his ancestors nor abandon those who follow him..."
"You actually want to compromise? Then you have undoubtedly chosen the most difficult path that requires a lot of trouble."
Hearing this, Jiang Tian sighed with some approval: This little thing is growing up very fast!
"But no matter what, since I am here because of you, whether you are willing or not, I will naturally accompany you to the end, and even witness the moment when your wishes and vows come true one day."
"Thank you, ancestor!"
At this moment, Jiang Tian even felt her change of mood, becoming relieved and cheering, and couldn't help but smile. Although her declaration and determination are a bit artificial and empty, at least she is mentally prepared to face setbacks and choices and continue to become strong.
During the brief exchange in the car, the search and seizure inside the temple had already come to fruition. Following one after another, the sounds of chasing and shouting finally converged into short and fierce roars and fights; then there was only a burst of cheers:
"Caught, caught."
"There are so many traitors, catch them all!"
After a while, we saw some prisoners whose clothes, appearance, and appearance were obviously different from those of monks; they were being carried out one after another, half-dead, or covered in blood. It was obviously the result of resistance during the current search; and the number far exceeded expectations.
The last ones who were escorted out were even some who were obviously women and children, which immediately aroused an uproar and continuous yelling from the people watching around. So, under the instigation of some insiders who were secretly arranged among the crowd, some people began to use rotten vegetables and rotten eggs to hit these Buddhist scum and the accomplices they had sheltered and hidden secretly.
Therefore, when the three senior monks of the temple, including Sanzang, who were rescued from the confinement of the thieves, were deliberately arranged to appear at the end, they could not help but be smashed with filth. However, at this time The matter was irreversible; even they were unable to defend themselves in public.
However, this is not over yet. As he was invited from the state government office, the sentencing judge who had just been sworn in was a gray-haired senior eunuch. Standing in front of the car with a solemn face but fear and pain in his heart, he heard the little round face who took the initiative to stand up and asked in public with a clear voice:
"In accordance with the imperial edicts and laws of the past dynasties, what crime should be punished for colluding against the party and causing chaos in the location of a temple?"
As soon as these words came out, many of the officials and generals who followed the city after hearing the news couldn't help but change their expressions. Because this prince obviously wanted to carry out a murderous and heart-breaking coffin-style coffin against these rogue gangs and the Daxingshan Temple they were implicated in, in the name of a public trial in full view of the public.
However, there are some people who are filled with complicated feelings and have a lot of happiness and expectations. Fortunately, I stayed out of the incident and was spared; I expected that this prince would have such shocking and frightening determination, courage and means before he was even a year old; that he would be able to do good things step by step despite the ups and downs. The prestige and influence that the temple had accumulated for hundreds of years were all lost in one day.
If in the future we gain power because of this and gather a crowd to counterattack the lost territory of our motherland, it will no longer be an unattainable verbal claim. And for some of the descendants of nobles who fell from the capital and those who were dismissed, if they can have the opportunity to follow the left and right, wouldn't they all have the opportunity to become heroes of the revival and return to the royal court in the future.
