Chapter 742: The Ruthless Yang Guang, the Blood-Vomiting Cihang Jingzhai (End)
"A tyrant, a tyrant."
In front of the square in front of the most luxurious and largest temple in Yangzhou City, there are usually many pilgrims and incense burning everywhere, but at this time, a large number of monks fell in a pool of blood. The abbot of the temple's snow-white cassock has now turned blood red. Looking around at the fallen disciples around him, the abbot pointed at Yu Wenzhi not far in front of him and shouted with unwillingness.
"Empty, you Buddhists are so bold that you dare to say that you are the emperor of heaven. You are simply ignorant." Yu Wenzhi snorted coldly and did not continue to attack. The opponent was already seriously injured and could not survive. He did not need to make up for it.
"Hey, look at what this is, empty, this is what you Buddhists call the four emptinesses." Just when Yu Wenzhi wanted to continue to say something, he suddenly saw a large number of items in boxes carried out by soldiers from the temple, and a mocking smile appeared on his face.
At the same time, Kong Xing also saw this scene. He had been shouting that Yang Guang was a tyrant, but now he closed his eyes and kept chanting the Buddha's name. Now, even if he had thousands of words to say, he couldn't say them.
Because the boxes carried out by the soldiers were all gold and silver treasures, boxes of gold, silver, and gems of various colors, arranged in the square, which immediately made the whole square dazzling. The bloody smell before was directly diluted by these jewels and treasures.
The surrounding soldiers, officers, including Yu Wenzhi, looked at the wealth and couldn't help showing greedy looks. If he hadn't been concerned about the existence of someone, Yu Wenzhi would probably have taken all the wealth into his pocket.
Similarly, those people standing around the soldiers' blockade line in the distance of the temple were originally pointing fingers at the army's sudden attack on the temple. Many people said that Yang Guang was going crazy again, but after seeing so much wealth, their expressions became the same as those of the soldiers.
There is no way, the wealth is too dazzling. This time, so much wealth was plundered from it, even Shen Fei did not expect it. He had tried his best to guess the wealth of Buddhism before, but the result was still greatly underestimated.
Although this temple is the largest in Yangzhou City, other temples may not have such wealth, but even so, if the wealth of the temples in the entire Yangzhou City is plundered, it will definitely be an astronomical figure.
"Room, scan, wow, so much wealth, if the entire Yangzhou City is plundered, if Yang Guang cheers up, maybe there is a chance to turn the tables."
With curiosity, Shen Fei used the ability of the surgery fruit to roughly confirm the amount of wealth, and the result shocked him. The wealth plundered from this temple can probably support the military expenses of an army of 20,000 people for one year.
The biggest problem of Yang Guang's men now is the unstable military spirit and lack of morale. The reason for this lack of morale is very simple, that is, there is no military pay. Not to mention those troops outside, even his guards have not received military pay for two months.
Even the original two meals a day were reduced to one dry meal and one liquid meal.
Three or four meals a day were only affordable for the rich and the nobles. Ordinary people, even soldiers, basically only had two meals a day, that is, they could only have a chance to eat a full meal before the war.
Although Yang Guang could not order his troops to leave Yangzhou now, in terms of strength, among those who had rebelled or were preparing to rebel, only the Li family or the Song family had the strength to surpass him. Other forces, even Wang Shichong who owned Luoyang City, were not as good as Yang Guang now.
If tens of thousands of imperial guards could raise their morale and revive their military prestige, they would not be afraid of Du Fuwei, Shen Faxing, Li Zitong and the like.
"Count all the wealth and make it public, especially the land deeds, and then you can handle all the wealth. By the way, start with the land deeds." After scanning the approximate wealth, Shen Fei's voice suddenly sounded softly in Yu Wenzhi's ears, and the sound of nature was transmitted.
In order to ensure that Yang Guang's order can be executed, rather than being delayed or fooled, Shen Fei personally supervised Yu Wenzhi, and the commander of the imperial army Sima Dekan led people to execute the order.
Yu Wenzhi is not a person who surrenders so easily, and the commander of the imperial army Sima Dekan is the same, not to mention that the two are still in an alliance, and out of fear of Buddhism, if there is no Shen Fei, Yang Guang's order can't be executed at all.
Yang Guang is dying, and it doesn't matter how crazy he is before he dies, but Yu Wenzhi and the commander of the imperial army Sima Dekan don't want to accompany Yang Guang to go crazy.
After coming down from the court, the two immediately summoned their personal guards to attack Shen Fei. In addition to not wanting to execute Yang Guang's orders, the two also had ambitions for the imperial edict of the Luoyang general manager in Shen Fei's hand. Now Yang Guang still represents orthodoxy. With this imperial edict, if combined with the strength of the Yuwen clan, maybe the Yuwen clan can take control of Luoyang City.
For Luoyang City, the Yuwen clan has always coveted it.
Then Yu Wenzhi and others saw what it meant to be powerful. Shen Fei suppressed all their guards with his own strength.
"Yes." Hearing Shen Fei's order coming from his ears and hearing that he was to handle all the wealth, Yu Wenzhi immediately responded in a low voice.
With these riches, he could better win over the generals in the army. Yu Wenzhi also understood Shen Fei's series of actions. They were mainly aimed at those people in Cihang Jingzhai, and he had no intention of protecting Yang Guang. This was undoubtedly good news for Yu Wenzhi.
Yu Wenzhi's rebellious heart was already obvious at this time. If Shen Fei belonged to Yang Guang's side, his ambitions in his heart would probably not be able to be exerted.
Yu Wenzhi also had great ambitions and wanted to become emperor, but his luck was not very good. All the plans in the original book were disrupted by Shuanglong. Of course, his personal ability was also lacking.
"Come on, sort out those deeds immediately." Then Yu Wenzhi immediately ordered his men to start sorting out the deeds, and while sorting, someone loudly said all the contents of the deeds.
"Yang Guang, you are so cruel."
After the contents of the deeds were read out, Kong Xing, who was already seriously injured, suddenly spit out a large mouthful of blood. He only had time to say a word before he fell to the ground and died. He was angry and died.
"Yang Guang, he is really cruel."
Not only Kong Xing, but also the people around who saw what happened here, a few smart people changed their faces, and couldn't help but whispered in their hearts.
Most people may not understand what this sentence means, but for those smart people, they have seen what will happen next.
This is Yang Guang's plan to wipe out the family. If this scene spreads, the reputation of Buddhism can be said to be completely ruined. For Buddhism, if the reputation is ruined, there is basically no future. After all, they are different from the sects like the Demon Sect that almost don't care about reputation. Buddhism needs believers.
"I didn't expect Buddhism to be so rich. It's really unexpected."
In a remote corner of the crowd, Du Fuwei, who had an ancient face and a bit of a rigid taste, couldn't help but make up his mind after seeing this scene.
The Jianghuai Army is about to attack Yangzhou. In order to occupy Yangzhou before Li Zitong, Shen Faxing and others, Du Fuwei came to Yangzhou to investigate the internal intelligence of the Sui Army.
However, when he didn't expect it, he saw this scene with his own eyes. The wealth of Buddhism made Du Fuwei's heart move. After all, the Jianghuai Army lacked material wealth compared to other rebel armies. Now there is such a large sum of money, how could he not be tempted.
If it was before, Du Fuwei would never have thought of this. No matter how smart he was, he couldn't have thought that Buddhism was so rich, and the power and strength of Buddhism were very strong. Du Fuwei would naturally not ask for trouble.
But now it's different. First, the wealth of Buddhism made him tempted. Second, Yang Guang opened a head, and Buddhism will soon face the next round of attacks.
There is no righteous army in the world that is not short of money, even the Li family is the same, but he is much better than others.
It's okay if you don't know it before, but now that you know it, and there is a fair excuse given by Yang Guang, I'm afraid not many people will not be tempted, not to mention that even if you are afraid of offending Buddhism and dare not act openly, don't you dare to act secretly?
You said I did it, do you have evidence? Your Buddhist sect is so rich, why can't it be some jealous Jianghu people who did it? There are so many Jianghu people in the world, and there are many people from outside the Great Wall, can't it be them who did it?
This plan was made by Shen Fei based on the information he knew, various examples, and the subsequent progress calculated by Red Queen. This is a complete conspiracy to cut off the firewood from the bottom of the pot.
"Brother Shen, this is too cruel."
Opposite Du Fuwei, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling looked at each other and said with lingering fear. The two were originally talented and intelligent people. In addition, Shen Fei's previous education broadened their horizons, so after seeing this scene, the first person they thought of was Shen Fei.
"There are many innocent people in the Buddhist sect." After all, Xu Ziling is a compassionate person. After thinking about the consequences of this incident, his expression couldn't help but become depressed.
"Master Ling, what you said is true, but in this chaotic world, there are too many innocent people who died in vain. Aren't those Sui soldiers who died in Goryeo innocent? They were just following orders. And those refugees we saw when we came here, how many of them will survive in the end? Aren't they innocent?
There is another war coming here soon. This is our hometown. Master Ling, how many innocent people do you think will die then? There may be many innocent people in Buddhism, and there are many enlightened monks. I remember that Kong Xing just now was one of the most enlightened monks in Yangzhou City, but what about the result?
Master Ling, other things may be false Yes, it was Brother Shen who deliberately deceived us, but those wealth and land deeds are now in front of us, they are not fake.
Ling Shao, you should still remember what Brother Shen said about why farmers have such heavy taxes, because only the poorest pay taxes, while the rich never pay taxes. Look at those wealth, if they are taken out, how many people can be saved, but they would rather put them in the warehouse to mold and rot, and would not take them out to help the civilians.
Brother Shen said before that if all people in the world, regardless of nobles, aristocratic families, Buddhists, and Taoists, all pay taxes, farmers' taxes can be very low, or even no taxes. "
"Of course I remember this, but I remember that you wanted to be the emperor. Have you given up on this dream?"
"We'll talk about this later, but now it seems that we have no chance to kill that Yuwen Gu guy. Why don't we go find Brother Shen? He should be here."
Shuangyong appeared in Yangzhou, naturally to find an opportunity to avenge Fu Junma. Although Shen Fei killed Xiang Yushan and others in advance, Shuangyong did not have contact with them, but Shuangyong still wanted to see if he could use the account books to kill Yu Wenhua and others. .
They originally wanted to use the Zhuhua Gang in Yangzhou to see if they could sneak into the palace, meet Yang Guang, and hand over the account books, but what happened now happened.
"You want Brother Shen to help you take revenge, but I don't agree. We must avenge mother's revenge with our own hands, and Brother Shen may not be in Yangzhou now. Didn't he become the general manager of Luoyang? He should go to Luoyang now, no wonder He would say see you in Luoyang before."
"That's right, but in that case, we can only give up revenge now, and we also hope that dad will not kill Yuwen Gu, otherwise we may not have the chance to avenge mom."
When Kou Zhong said this, both of them fell silent. The battle was dangerous. Even though the two of them were very strong now, they were still powerless against the war.
"Then it depends on the luck of this Yuhua bone. Okay, Mr. Ling, it's time for us to leave. It would be bad if we meet dad and his people here." Kou Zhong said and patted Xu Ziling hard. shoulders.
"The next Luoyang City must be very lively, but according to Big Brother, those who can participate are top people. Our strength is still too weak. Even Feng Shihan is no match. I'm afraid we won't be able to help Big Brother Shen by then. How busy it is.”
"Then work hard. Big brother said that we have the best talents. In time, even the three great masters in the world will have to step aside when facing us. This trip to Luoyang happens to be a cultivation trip. I hope those people , and rheumatism and cold, don’t let me down.”
After saying that, the two of them glanced at Yu Wenhuaji again, who was supervising the inventory of wealth in the square, and then left quietly.
"The Four Hundred and Eighty Temple in the Southern Dynasties, there are so many towers in the mist and rain, it is really so humble."
Standing on the balcony on the second floor of the restaurant closest to the temple, looking at the square in front of him, Shen Fei couldn't help but shook his head gently. This era was indeed the period when Buddhism was at its peak, and the number of temples far exceeded his imagination.
There are nearly a hundred large and small temples in Yangzhou alone. Although this is also related to the prosperity of Yangzhou, even so, we can roughly guess how many temples there are in the entire Central Plains and how many monks are not engaged in production.
No one can tell how many masters, innate masters, and first-class masters there are among these monks. However, just destroying the temple in front of them caused heavy losses to the Sui army. There were nearly three hundred strong men inside. Not a weak monk.
That is to say, Yu Wenhuaji and his masters took action later to get it done.
"Without the mechanism skills of the Mo family and the Gongshu family, the army's ability to deal with masters would still be far inferior."
