This rhythm of changing the sky in one day made the Ministry of Rites Shangshu Xu jump up in shock.

In the evening, Xu Jiang angrily broke into Gao's house to find Gao Fangping and angrily: "Gao Fangping, you are too bold, is this the rhythm of changing the sky?" Are you trying to subvert the Great Song policy? ”

"Lord Xu, don't worry." Gao Fangping turned his head and smiled, "Come on, serve good tea to Lord Xu." ”

But after carrying it, Xu Jiang directly smashed the tea bowl, pointed at his nose and said: "Lawless, this hall official wants to sue the emperor and impeach you in front of the emperor for ignoring the policies of the Great Song Dynasty and the royal feelings for persecuting Taoism, and nearly 10,000 people were arrested in one day?" You dare to come up with this kind of handwriting. ”

Gao Fangping got up, walked a few steps with his hands behind his back, then stopped and turned his head to look at him and said, "Xu Shangshu, don't worry, it's not strange for you to say this, it's strange if you don't say it." You are an official of the Ministry of Rites, and you are destined to look at the problem from the perspective of the Ministry of Rites, so this can be beautified as your dedication and loyalty to your duties in front of the officials, right? ”

"If only you understood." Xu Jiang snorted.

Gao Fangping sat down again and said, "However, I am one of the ministers, and I will only look at the problem from the perspective of the majority and the people. Since you're okay and you're doing your job, why do you think I'm wrong? ”

"You ......" Xu Jiang became excited again.

Gao Fangping shook his head and said: "Don't come at me, it's the spontaneous behavior of the people, it's none of my business." ”

I'm @#¥

Xu will wonder who you have become. However, he had to smile bitterly, he could really say this in front of the emperor, he had already done this once before on the issue of Taoist priests. And the emperor would probably believe him.

At this point, Gao Fangping said again: "General Xu, of course you can sue the emperor, that is your right." However, this time it is none of my business, and you can only sue the hundreds of thousands of Bianjing mobs. But don't say I didn't remind you, in fact, you only need to read history to know that no emperor would casually convict hundreds of thousands of people. There is a high probability that it will be reversed, and the few who say that the people are guilty will be harmonized with each other. ”

"You ......" Of course Xu Jiang understood this truth, and he was shocked, Damn, the last time the privy envoy Zhang Kangguo planted on this issue.

Gao Fangping didn't want to talk anymore, and when he got up, he sighed and said: "Don't be unreasonable, now you have two choices, first, take the initiative to resign from the court and tell the old man, and I will let you stand on the safety line." Second, under this storm, I will bring you down, and your reputation will be ruined, and the wealth of your entire family will end here. ”

After speaking, Gao Fangping wanted to leave.

General Xu got up to stop him and laughed miserably: "Even if you have the upper hand, I don't believe that you will kill me." ”

Gao Fangping smiled and said: "There has been such a big storm, there must be someone responsible, and one party must be wrong." So at the level of the official family, I will not be easily wrong. At the level of the imperial court, the blood and tears of hundreds of thousands of people in Bianjing will not be wrong. That's the case under the sun, such a large group, even if they are really mobs, they are right, you know this better than anyone else, there must be a mistake on one side, then 10,000 people who are caught must pull the list. So with the support of the imperial court, the public trial and judgment of the Kaifeng Mansion will be formed, and then they will have Taoist status and fall under the jurisdiction of your Ministry of Rites. ”

At this point, Gao Fangping said with a cold face: "Tens of thousands of Taoist priests have a problem, they are doing nonsense, and they are harming the people of the capital, and they are the emperor's people!" As the person in charge of the competent unit, Xu Jiang really has no responsibility! ”

Xu Jiang's face turned gray, he knew that Pork Ping was bluffing, even if it was established that the Taoist priest was wrong and the people were not wrong, then of course there must be high-level people who came out to take the blame. But he felt that Gao Fangping might not have the ability to kill my general. There are variables in this matter, it is possible that it will not die, or it may be really dead.

The so-called surrender loses half. If you take the initiative to admit defeat and resign, there is still a way to live. With Gao Fangping's frenzied means, if he didn't surrender and fight him to the end, Xu Jiang understood that although he had a probability of winning, there was a greater probability that the whole family would not die well. The Chai family, who has a card to avoid death, was baptized in blood, and that is not blown.

As a result, Xu Jiang is now facing the biggest choice of his life.

Gao Fangping smiled, and when he left the hall, he said, "This room is lent to you, just cry if you want to." That's all about the ups and downs of officialdom. Tomorrow is limited, I haven't seen your application for the old man under the door of Zhongshu, so let's go to war. It's true that I may not win, but I am determined to do so, and this is something that you people don't have. And from when I didn't accept surrender, and the fate of those I fought on the battlefield. This is not necessarily my ruthlessness, but on the juncture that is about to enter Chengdu, others do not have the fortitude of me, and they can't fight you bulls, ghosts, snakes, and gods. So I'm going to finish the dirty work and leave a clean court for those who are willing to work hard. I will always leave, but I will always take a wave of ghosts, snakes, and gods to hell at the same time. I can lose, but my opponent will never win. This is the Dark Knight's creed. ”

With that, Gao Fangping left.

"This is persecution!"

Xu Jiang raised his head and shouted, full of grief and indignation, but no one answered when he shouted his throat, he didn't know this circle on the first day, as one of the Standing Committee members of the previous dynasty, what kind of purity did he pretend to be in the book......

Mobilizing the masses with this set of tactics, Gao Fangping is also an old driver, and his techniques and rhythm are becoming more and more proficient.

Under the deliberate control, the initial frenzy and rapid rhythm slowly calmed down and became rational. The popularity of the people is not as great as imagined. But the round-up of Taoist priests is still ongoing.

Gao Fangping's fans and those who participated in shouting and reporting the bad deeds of Taoist priests are also continuing to increase, and now this group has risen from about 300,000 people at the beginning to 900,000. It gradually spread to Chenliu and other counties.

However, because of the familiarity with the road, under Gao Fangping's strict monitoring, there was no incident of "smashing the temple" in Jiangzhou. Mainly only grasp the backbone.

In fact, Gao Fangping really wanted to smash those pit people's dojos.

In the past, the Taoist temple in Bianjing was not small, and after Lin Lingsu entered Beijing, Fuji Yuanfang helped him requisition land and build the Shenxiao Wanshou Palace. Shenxiao Palace is from the Shenxiao faction, and now there is more than the Shenxiao faction in Taoism, Lin Lingsu launched a thousand dao conference in order to build momentum, and the backbone of dozens of factions have entered Beijing.

Most of these uneven disciples and grandchildren of the Dao disciples are not as good as Lin Lingsu, and they can't get the government to help them requisition land. So they can only fake the tiger, with the help of the "Thousand Dao Conference Climate", in the people like the underworld to be abducted and deceived, probably to requisition land and build their own dojo.

So in the short period of half a year that Gao Fangping was away, Bianjing and the surrounding counties had nearly 300 more dojos of all sizes out of thin air. These "gang lands" are, of course, such as Lao Chen's family, and the land deeds were taken away without being clear.

For large families, Taoist priests dare not do anything to them for the time being. The biggest event was the land exchange for Daxiangguo Temple at that time, but that incident was very important and had not yet had time to be implemented.

So it is the small families who suffer.

In the eyes of large households, the title deed is actually money, they are not bad, they can negotiate the price, and sell it when it is suitable. But for small households, land is their roots, even if the land in Bianjing is valuable, and after being sold, you can live a small capital and be rich in the frontier, but in Hanwa's small peasant thinking, no one will sell their ancestral land at will.

As a result, the countless "old Chen Tou cases" that Gao Fangping saw at that time were formed.

Yes, these gangsters can only rob. There are so many more gang bases, and of course, there are countless people who are wronged and displaced.

Not only that, these uneven gang forces grabbed the entrance of the hall, and after gathering, they invited idle people to join as fake Taoist priests, and recently began to spread and influence the surrounding areas to make profits, selling feng shui, selling fake medicines, and even being feng shui policemen, interfering in other people's living habits without permission. Let ordinary people dare to be angry and dare not speak, and when there is a problem in the front row, the grassroots government will not dare to act.

Needless to say, this point is actually not aimed at the Taoist sect, any gang, sect, after gathering and then uncontrolled, is this virtue, this is the expansion of human nature.

That's why he doesn't like gangs in any government.

The biggest impact is not actually the Taoist priests themselves, but the climate. Many restless people do not dare to be arrogant in normal times, but after this climate allows them to see the "death-free characteristics of Taoist priests", some people who were not originally Taoist priests pretended to be Taoist priests, fished in troubled waters, occupied the identity of fake Taoist priests, and bullied the surrounding people.

For example, forced buying and selling, such as being a pickpocket, such as directly robbing. And then because these people have tied up the true Taoists in a certain climate, the special political situation is protecting them. If Fuji Yuanfang's government does not act, then it is really like the invasion and spread of the virus, which is gradually out of control.

So this is also the same as the MLM model, after one drags one into the water and forces it to Liangshan, one drives the other, and eventually the climate will be formed.

What can kill pyramid schemes can only be another kind of pyramid schemes, that is, propaganda methods at the grassroots level, rather than judicial means.

Those who were directly persecuted by Taoist priests are Gao Fangping's core team, plus their relatives and friends to build momentum, this is the "network diffusion" in MLM, forming a small trend, and others follow, and after cooperating with public opinion propaganda to build momentum, they then reach a frenzy and drive everyone to carry out reverse pyramid schemes.

The ability of political commanders is not at the same level, so in just a few days, the Taoist priests around Bianjing were basically cleared.

At the feet of the Son of Heaven, Gao Fangping wanted to pay attention to the influence, so he did not approve the smashing of the temple. Overall, the control is not bad.

The reason for not smashing the temple is simple. Gao Fangping does not intend to classify this incident as a political issue or a religious issue, this is a judicial issue, and it can be regarded as a three-pronged crackdown on law and order and the control of gang harm.

Since it is under the banner of justice, of course, it is not possible to deliberately smash public assets.

So Gao Fangping didn't say that he wanted to target the Taoist priests, but he led the way with points, and in extraordinary times and important places in Beijing, he strictly dealt with these leaders who illegally gathered people and interfered with the court with gangs. Strictly punish all those who have had problems such as stealing, smashing and looting, selling counterfeit medicines, forcibly buying and selling, robbing, killing, and setting up private courts to arbitrarily enforce the law.

The newspapers said this openly, but in fact, the people who did so during this period were basically Taoist priests and false Taoist priests, as well as people related to the chain of Taoist interests.

Many pickpockets and small gangs that are forced to buy and sell are not true Taoists, but they are attached to Taoist temples and have paid protection fees to "Taoist priests". For Gao Fangping's instructions to Lin Xuan, this group was dealt the most severe blow. Because since ancient times, the two devils are sometimes worse than the real devils.

For this group, if a few more crimes are added to impersonate religious figures, evading tax service in the imperial court, disturbing the rules of the imperial court, hurting and smearing legitimate religious feelings, and punishing many true Taoist priests without the death penalty, such people will be sentenced to death.
