Li Zhi stood at the door of the ancestral hall and looked inside.

There are two large stone lions at the entrance of the ancestral hall, which are ordinary. However, there is no wall in the place where the wall should have been built inside the ancestral hall door, but a carved lifelike stone crouching tiger. The stone tiger carved is a tiger playing with hydrangea there, carved lifelike, looks very majestic, obviously from the hands of a skilled craftsman.

The wall of the entrance of the ancestral hall is inlaid with thick bronze plates, and the bronze plates are tattooed with the pattern of the standing tiger. Those tiger patterns are relatively simple, more like the graphics on the tiger talisman, which looks antique, but is very magnificent.

It seems that this ancestral hall has spent a lot of money, and the people of Jinghai are really rich.

Obviously, this temple is managed by a group of Taoist priests, and the entrance of the ancestral hall is guarded by four high Taoist priests holding swords. In the past few days, there has been a battle between the host and the guest, and these Taoist priests are like facing a great enemy, and their expressions are highly nervous. Among the four high-level scholars, there is also a white-bearded old Taoist who sits in the town, holding a dustbrush.

When the old Taoist saw Li Zhi's team coming over, his eyes widened, and he ran to the ancestral hall and reported the news.

The entrance is a gatehouse, which is quite large, and there are spacious gatehouses on each side. There were two clay statues on both sides of the doorway of the gatehouse, and Li Zhi looked at them and understood that the two statues were Qin Qiong and Yu Chigong.

The incense inside the ancestral hall is very vigorous, and the square in front of the main hall is full of people. Some people are chatting there, and some people are offering incense there.

Li Zhi walked through the gatehouse, but saw the Taoist who was in charge of the ancestral hall running out.

came out with the Taoist leader, and there were three old men with white hair.

Seeing that Li Zhi didn't dare to slack off, the Taoist chief knelt on the side of the road.

"Xiaodao has seen the prince! The prince is a thousand years old, a thousand years old! ”

Hearing the shouting of the Taoist chief, the people in the square realized that it was Li Zhi who came, and Hulala knelt down one by one.

The people knelt very reverently, and they did not dare to lift their heads.

Li Zhi waved his hand and said, "Let's all get up and talk!" ”

Without waiting for the Taoist priests and pilgrims to get up, Li Zhi walked through the front hall where Yue Fei was enshrined, bypassed the huge incense burner and treasure ding in front of the main hall, and walked to the front of the main hall behind.

The Taoist chief and a few old men hurriedly followed.

There were more pilgrims in front of the main hall, and when they saw Li Zhi coming in, they knelt down in a panic.

Li Zhi stood in front of the main hall and looked at this huge main hall, and felt that this hall was magnificent. At this time, one town and nine provinces have widely used reinforced concrete to build cement buildings, and the construction cost can be said to have plummeted. Like the Emperor of the Apocalypse, it is impossible to build three major halls and deplete the treasury in one town and nine provinces.

This temple makes full use of the construction technology of one town and nine provinces, and is built tall and majestic.

The main hall is about ten meters high and has three stories high. It is more than 40 meters wide on the left and right, more than 20 meters deep before and after, and has an area of 8 or 900 square meters. The walls of the main hall are inlaid with beautiful bronze tiger stripe decorations, and the wooden doors and window frames are also carved with complex tiger and lion shape patterns, which is in line with the folk legend that Li Zhi is a white tiger descending to earth.

There was a statue more than five meters high in the main hall, and Li Zhi looked at it for a while to make sure that the statue was indeed carved by himself, standing himself.

However, the statue was carved more handsome and tall than Li Zhi himself.

The statue holds a book in its left hand and a rifle in its right hand, and its eyes are looking straight into the distance, very majestic.

In front of the statue is a huge tablet with Lee Sik's name written on it.

There are also some small tablets on both sides of Li Zhi's tablet, and there are five, which are the tablets of Li Xing, Zhong Feng and other five counts.

Li Zhi looked at it for a while and asked, "Isn't this statue good?" Where was it destroyed? ”

The Taoist chief bowed to Li Zhi and said, "Lord Mingjian, Lord Wang, please look at the leg of the statue, there is a large piece of it that has been destroyed by the gangsters with a dagger." ”

Li Zhi looked in the direction pointed by the Taoist chief, and after careful observation, he found that there was indeed a half-meter-long and wide place on the lower leg of the statue, and the color was a little different. That area had apparently been chiseled by a dagger a few times, and the material and paint on it were gone. Now it has been repaired, and the color is slightly different from the original.

The Taoist chief said bitterly: "Lord Wang, this statue almost fell that day!" Almost broke! “

Li Zhi pondered for a moment and said, "This is done by Shanxi migrant workers?" ”

The old man behind the elder was very excited when he heard Li Zhi's words, he knelt down in front of Li Zhi with a plop, and said loudly: "Lord Wang! The two brothers surnamed Yang bought a new set of clothes, deceived the sword-wielding priest at the door with a local accent, and infiltrated the ancestral hall with daggers. ”

"When they entered the ancestral hall, they went straight to the main hall, rushed to the statue, and brandished a dagger to destroy the statue."

The old man on the ground raised his head and said, "Lord, lord!" The ancestral hall is the spiritual sustenance of the people of Jinghai County, and it is a symbol of the loyalty of the people of Jinghai County to the prince! This statue was made up of the silver raised by our old men one by one, and these gangsters from Shanxi came up and directly destroyed our statue, which is a direct attack on the prince, and a direct attack on the loyalty of our Jinghai people to the prince! ”

The other old man stared at the old man with wide eyes, and suddenly knelt on the ground with a thud, and said loudly: "Lord Wang! Wang Ye Mingjian! These two gangsters from Shanxi are still at large. The migrant workers in Shanxi built a fort outside the city and confronted our local people. ”

"The day before yesterday, we wanted to go into Shanxi Street outside the city to get people, but the Shanxi thieves came up and beat us, killing 16 local people and injuring 57 people... We fought back desperately, but we could only retreat to the county seat in a hurry. “

"The prince is on top! These thieves must be severely punished! “

When the Dao Master heard the words of the two elders, he closed his eyes in pain, shook his head and sighed.

When Li Zhi heard this, he was stunned for a while.

This ancestral hall is not allowed to enter the ancestral hall? Open only to locals?

Li Zhi asked, "Why did the brother surnamed Yang destroy the statue?" Why do Shanxi people protect the brothers surnamed Yang? “

The old man on the ground glanced at each other.

In the end, one of them said: "Back to the prince, in the final analysis, the thief baby in Shanxi is still jealous of the good life of the local people!" “

"Jinghai County is one of the earliest territories managed by the prince, and the local people continue to cultivate water conservancy in the wilderness, and the per capita cultivated area of adult strong men is now nearly 100 acres, and the farmers are very solid. Most of the people in the city also run restaurants and inns, and they all have their own small businesses. Even if you don't have a business, ask someone to introduce you to an acquaintance as a partner, and the monthly money is at least five taels or more. “

"Shanxi's thieves only have one or three dollars a month to do things in Shanxi, and they can earn two or five dollars a month in our Jinghai County, but these thieves are not dead, and they are still jealous of the wealth of our local people in Jinghai."

Li Zhi understood it.

The local businessman treated the local workers differently from the Shanxi workers, and gave all the good jobs to the locals. Migrant workers in Shanxi can only do low-paying jobs with no technical content.

As time passed, the contradictions between migrant workers and locals became more and more acute.

Li Zhi asked, "Are all Shanxi people working?" Why don't you open your door and run your business, hire Shanxi people, and earn more money? “

The old man on the ground kowtowed and said, "Lord Mingjian, the business opened by the thief baby in Shanxi has no public morality, and our local farmers and citizens will not go." Shanxi thieves can only do business in 'Shanxi Street', where can they come to the city to do business? “
