Lord Qin realized that his position as the Prefecture Lord was rather cowardly. Everyone used him as a tool. The monk didn't care about him, and so did the other families!
"Which family is it? Have you investigated thoroughly? "
The cultivator refused. "I have no obligation to investigate this for you! If I continue investigating, I'll have to face other cultivators. Do you want us Daoists to rebel against each other because of the monk? I'm not that stupid! "
Lord Qin abruptly stopped in his tracks. "I understand! I understand now! This must be related to the murder case at Tongfu Opera House! It's still that cultivator, right?
One could be the Hu family, the other could be … "
The cultivator didn't have any intention of asking. If he wanted to know, it was very simple. He was just too lazy to do so. After leaving that mysterious yamen, he knew too well how deep the waters of cultivation were. He wouldn't easily get involved in it and drown himself.
Lord Qin said hatefully, "They used me like this. Do I have to listen to them?"
The cultivator smiled. "Congratulations, you're right! Who told you to be the Prefecture Lord? If there's a beating from above, you'll have to be beaten down first before anything else! "
Lord Qin found himself speechless. This was the truth. If the sky fell, who else would be able to hold it up? The person who sent the private message knew this, so he was fearless!
"Then, are you willing to handle this for me? You know, it's not good for me to mobilize the yamen. If I do, everyone will know. If that happens, won't I fall into a pit of sh * t and never be able to clear my name?
You and I have known each other for many years. Are you willing to help me vent my anger? "
The cultivator sneered conceitedly. "That's why I said that you're not as courageous as you used to be!
Don't you want me to stand up for you? You beat around the bush and only revealed your true intentions in the end. You're not happy at all!
Of course, I'm willing! I'll definitely stand up for you! "
Mr. Qin was puzzled. He had known this guy for more than ten years, and he had always been reluctant. Out of ten requests, he would reject nine out of ten requests. Why was he suddenly so agreeable on this one?
Seeing Lord Qin's suspicious gaze, the cultivator said coldly,
"You're not in the cultivation circle, so you don't know our rules! I rejected you before because I didn't want to cause internal strife in the Daoist circle! That's why I didn't reach out my hand!
But Buddhists were different! Although no one said that Buddhism and Buddhism were irreconcilable on the surface, everyone was well aware of this fact.
As disciples of Daoism, we should take responsibility for the Buddhist Sect's matters! "
Both in the open and in the dark, the Master and Madam were pushing for the Dharma Assembly of the Jokhang Temple. Surprisingly, everyone had the same opinion on how to proceed!
When the government really took action, their efficiency was not to be underestimated.
The poor farmers around the prefectural city, as well as the neighboring counties, were quickly informed that during the Jokhang Temple's Spring Dharma Assembly, all the wealthy families from Pu City would be distributing farm seeds to everyone. If they did not have enough farm seeds, they would be compensated with money!
Not only that, but there were also rumors that the Jokhang Temple, which had been famous in Pu City for hundreds of years, would also take out the same amount of wealth to help the people!
The ordinary people cheered excitedly. They were excited by the generosity of the wealthy in Pu City, which was rarely seen in a hundred years. They were also excited by the government's understanding this time.
Of course, they did not know the truth. Only Lou Xiaoyi curled his lips in his study. This Lord Qin was really sinister. He must have sent someone to spread that rumor. His goal was not only to turn the Jokhang Temple's money into seeds to give to the people, but also to make the evil temple pay a big price by giving out their family's wealth!
Not willing to take it? With tens of thousands of disaster victims surrounding them, who knew what kind of trouble they would cause?
It was truly ruthless!
Moreover, he also heard from his mother that the Prefecture Lord's wife was unusually Dafa this time! The amount of money they gave out was more than ten times more than the previous years, so the other wealthy families did not dare to be stingy. The amount of money they gave out this time was probably going to make history!
This also meant that the Jokhang Temple was about to go bankrupt!
The spring Dharma Assembly in the first year of Yinzi was the grandest Dharma Assembly in the Pu City area in a hundred years. This was because most of the people who attended were not Buddhist believers, but a large group of poor people. The difference between the two was incomparable.
In the past Dharma Assemblies, it was already very impressive if there were one or two thousand people present. However, this time, there were tens of thousands of people. For a Buddhist temple, even the most famous temple in Pu City had no experience in this aspect. If they did not handle it well, chaos, trampling, fighting, and petty theft would be unavoidable.
However, it did not matter because they had the support of the government!
Almost all the bailiffs and constables in Pu City, including the surrounding suburbs, appeared around the Jokhang Temple. All the local ruffians, gangsters, beggar's sect leaders, petty thieves, and underworld gangs received strict instructions that they were not allowed to go near the Jokhang Temple during the three days of the Dharma Assembly. Otherwise, they would be arrested and imprisoned for half a year. No one would ask what they had done. In any case, if they were to reveal their secrets, they would not complain about being imprisoned for half a year!
There was also a large group of guards and soldiers stationed in the city. They patrolled back and forth with their weapons shining and their killing intent surging!
This was Lord Qin venting his anger on the Jokhang Temple. Of course, there was also the Mayor, Lord Wang, and the Chief Secretary, Lord Fan … These people were pissing in the same pot for the first time in many years!
They knew very well that there was no problem in tormenting the Jokhang Temple! However, there could not be any mistakes in the process. There must not be any civil unrest. Otherwise, they would not be able to keep their official positions.
The elders in the village, the village chief, the district chief, and the district chief each brought their own group. Whoever had a problem would be the unlucky one!
With this, they were majestic and disciplined. They had the momentum of an organized group that wanted to take advantage of the rich! When they stood in front of the Jokhang Temple's entrance, they felt like they were being pressured by an army!
