Monk Huifan said: "This is not difficult. Although the little monk has a gold medal for avoiding death, it is clearly written on it that he can only avoid death once except for rebellion. Today, the little monk robbed the people's daughter, humiliated the prince, resisted arrest and beat the poor, how can it be enough to avoid death at one time? As long as the little monk writes a defense, life and death will be in the hands of Cui Jingzhao. โ
In fact, Cui Geng is not unaware of the limitation of the death-free gold medal. But the key to this matter is that if you don't kill Hui Fan tonight, if you want to kill it in the future, you have to go through the process.
Jingzhao Mansion interrogation, the Criminal Department, Wu Zetian's imperial pen checked...... It will take half a year. For such a long time, there are too many variables, maybe the great monk will be able to escape.
As for Hui Fan's written defense, it is not foolproof.
can only say that with this handle in hand, there is no need for him to fight to the death. After all, it is really hard to say how many "holy dependents" there are in front of Monk Hui Fan in front of Wu Zetian.
To put it bluntly, with this defense, he and Monk Huifan are afraid of beating wolves with a hemp stick.
After weighing it again and again, Cui Geng looked at Li Longji and said, "King Linzi, what do you say?" โ
As soon as Li Longji saw what Cui Geng meant, he understood that Cui Geng wanted to compromise. What else can he say now? If you don't forgive, you are nothing more than a villain in vain. He had no choice but to say: "It's all up to Cui Jingzhao." โ
Yan Liang also said: "Even if Cui Jingzhao wants to release the great monk, our Cao Gang will only be the first to see Cui Jingzhao." โ
Cui Geng secretly thought in his heart, even if he was bright and smart, after Monk Huifan got out of trouble, he would be a tiger. If he doesn't hurry up and hug his official's thigh now, how can he protect himself when the time comes?
Cui Geng nodded with satisfaction and said, "Since this is the case, this official will represent the King of Linzi and the Yan Gang Leader, magnanimous, and spare you ......this time for the time being."
"Xie Cui Jingzhao, Xie Linzi Wang, Xie Cao Gang Leader." Monk Huifan finally escaped death, and kowtowed again and again.
Cui Geng said: "Don't worry, the official's words haven't been finished yet." Gang Master Yan's sons and daughters were so frightened, and the King of Linzi was captured alive by you, so you can't just forget it, right? โ
Monk Huifan immediately understood: "Of course the little monk will say something. I am going to come up with 1 million yuan, 500,000 yuan per family, to compensate the king of Linzi and the Cao Gang. In addition, the little monk is willing to take out another million guan to thank Cui Jingzhao for his grace of not killing. โ
Cui Geng understood that Monk Huifan was not a silver account, and his family property was more than 10 million yuan, most of which were real estate. Now that he can come up with two million, it is really not easy, and maybe he will have to sell some family property.
He looked at King Linzi and Yan Liang and said, "Do you two think it's enough?" โ
500,000 yuan, even if the Cao Gang divides it equally, each person can get 100 yuan. What is this concept? You know, a healthy male slave in the first year is only forty or fifty yuan!
Hearing this number, Liang's dissatisfaction with Cui Geng's idea completely dissipated, and he said continuously: "Enough, enough." 500,000 yuan of money, which shows the sincerity of Monk Huifan, and the old man is very satisfied. โ
Although Li Longji is a prince of the imperial court, he has no power, and he has no holy family, and now he can control more than 10,000 yuan of money in his hand, so he is not as good as Yan Liang.
He forced this excitement and said, "Thank you Cui Jingzhao for being the master of Xiao Wang, from now on, the grievances between Xiao Wang and Monk Huifan will be written off." โ
Cui Geng advised: "Monk Huifan, within three days, I will hand over one million yuan to the King of Linzi and the Yan Gang Master." The official's share is not in a hurry, and it can be handed over within half a year. Don't sell your family's property because you are in a hurry to raise money. โ
"Thank you Cui Jingzhao for your understanding."

Later, Cui Geng and the others did not return to Baqiaoyi, but were led by Monk Huifan to Tianwang Temple outside Chang'an City.
Sure enough, Monk Huifan didn't lie, and the Daxiong Treasure Hall of Tianwang Temple enshrined the gold medal given by Wu Zetian to avoid death. In addition, Yan Liang's children have not suffered any grievances.
Seeing that it was the third watch, everyone was resting at Tennoji Temple for the time being. Early the next morning, after eating vegetarian food, Cui Geng and his party were full of spirit and came in the direction of Chang'an City.
Li Longji is still waiting for Monk Huifan to raise the 500,000 yuan, there is nowhere to go, and he is also in the team. Monk Huifan and Yan Liang also followed closely as a sign of loyalty.
When the time first arrived, Cui Geng's team was already less than ten miles away from Chang'an.
"Huh?"
Li Longji was puzzled: "Although Jing Zhaoyin is attached to Guo Jingcheng, he doesn't have such a big official authority. But he is always the top boss of the yamen in Chang'an, and the etiquette that should be there is still to be there. Why are they all in this place, and there are no officials to greet them? โ
Cui Geng also secretly wondered, and said: "The whereabouts of this official have long been reported to Chang'an and Wannian counties, why didn't anyone come?" Strange, really weird! โ
Feng Changqing's eyes were sharp, and he pointed to the distance and said, "Cui Jingzhao, look, is that the person who came to greet us?" โ
"Huh?"
Cui Geng raised his eyes and saw an octagonal pavilion in the distance, and there could be twenty or thirty people standing under the pavilion, as if they were waiting for someone.
"It can't be them...... Cui Geng's heart sank, and said: "In Chang'an City, the county orders of Wannian and Chang'an counties are all five-grade officials, and there are many people who have all kinds of hereditary princes and marquises. Why isn't there even a single one in a scarlet robe in this group? Besides, this person is a little too little. โ
While speaking, Cui Geng and the others' team was already not far from the octagonal pavilion.
Suddenly, two officials in light green robes rushed out of the pavilion and said, "Is it the team of Lord Jingzhao Yin Cui on the other side?" โ
Feng Changqing urged him to step forward and said, "Yes, it is Cui Jingzhao's team." Who are you? โ
The two of them said: "We are Feng Ying, the chief secretary of Chang'an County, and Jiang Rong, the county lieutenant, and we are here to welcome Master Cui on the order of my Cao County!" โ
"On the orders of your lordship?" Feng Changqing's ugly face sank, and he said, "What about your adult?" Is he a dead mother in the family? Or are you sick and want to see Lord Yama? Why don't you come in person? โ
These words were really vicious, but Feng Ying and Jiang Rong did not dare to show displeasure at all. Without it, Chang'an County Ling Cao Yude is indeed too unreasonable. When your boss goes to work, you dare not come to greet him, do you want to go to heaven?
Feng Ying said with a bitter face: "Cao County Ling is not sick. However, he was invited to a banquet by the king of Hanoi and could not come in person. โ
"To a feast? What feast to go to? โ
"The king of Hanoi accepted the seventeenth concubine, and held a large banquet to entertain the leading figures in Chang'an City, and everyone ...... All went. โ
"And who's behind you?"
"Our taxi in Chang'an County...... Gentry. โ
Speaking of which, Feng Ying stammered. There is no way, calling these people "gentry", he himself has no confidence.
"Then you wait, so-and-so will repay my family!"
Feng Changqing turned his horse around and said in a low voice: "My lord, how do you think you should deal with it?" โ
The two sides are not far apart, Cui Geng has already heard the conversation between Feng Changqing and Feng Ying clearly, but he doesn't need to repeat it again.
I heard that it was Wu Yizong's ghost, but Cui Geng was not so angry. Even, he somewhat understood what the officials were doing.
Who is Wu Yizong? People give the nickname "Zhou Laizhiya", who is not afraid that he will wear small shoes for himself? Perhaps, Wu Yizong has been in Chang'an for so long, and he has already grabbed Cao Yude's pigtails.
However, what about yourself? People gave the nickname "Cui Qingtian", countless people lived, and his reputation was very good.
If you have to choose a side, of course those people will choose Wu Yizong. At least they don't have to worry about revenge, do they?
Thinking of this, Cui Geng said: "Be polite to the big and small officials in Chang'an, they can't help themselves. โ
Then, he urged the horse forward and said warmly: "I am Jingzhao Yin Cui Geng, you call those gentry to pay homage to this official." โ
"Whoa!"
Feng Ying and Jiang Rong hurriedly beckoned those "gentry" to come and meet Cui Geng.
Cui Geng soothed gently, and got into a family relationship with those gentry.
It didn't take much effort, but he understood that these people were just local rich people. Because Wu Yizong didn't look down on these people, he was arrested by Chang'an County and came to greet him.
As for Wannian County? I'm sorry, according to Wu Zetian's meaning, Wannian County is directly under the control of Wu Yizong, but no one dares to touch Wu Yizong's brows.
How to break the game?
Cui Geng's eyes rolled and said; "I am very happy to perform my duties today, and I want to set up a few tables for a banquet and have a good celebration. Please be sure to come and see your face! โ
Feng Ying said: "It should be us who will pick up the wind and wash the dust for you, how dare you let Master Cui spend a lot of money?" Cui Jingzhao, you come with the little one, we have already set up a banquet in Baihualou. โ
"Oh? Really? Cui Geng smiled slightly and said, "It's not that the official is hypocritical, it's true, the official wants to invite too many people, I'm afraid you will wait...... I can't afford to entertain you! โ
