Cui Geng said very sincerely: "Chengwang Chitose, our goal has been achieved, so there is no need to continue acting." โ
"What kind of play, what kind of play?" Li Qianli became more and more confused.
However, Cui Geng didn't continue to pay attention to him, but leaned down and climbed over the fence composed of several ropes.
These ropes are about three to five feet high from the ground, and there is no problem for Cui Geng to drill directly into the villain.
"Eh, what are you doing?" Monk Yuanqing stretched out his hand to stop him.
Cui Geng's face sank, and he said sharply: "This official is the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and Cui Geng, the king of Fuyang!" Great monk, do you dare to stop me? โ
Cui Geng has been a high-ranking ~ official of the imperial court for so many years, and he is no longer the young man who was jealous of others for chasing stars. This posture was really majestic and majestic, which frightened the Yuanqing monk's heart tightened, and he subconsciously took a step back.
The other monks were a little far away, and after listening to the conversation between Cui Geng and Li Qianli, they didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd of these two princes, and they didn't dare to move.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Cui Geng took three steps and made two steps to enter the Daxiong Treasure Hall.
Only then did Yuanqing react, and Li Qianli exchanged glances, and shouted: "Stop ......"
Sou!
As soon as he spoke, he felt a little cold in front of him, and quickly swallowed the next words.
Immediately after, "whoosh", another three-point cold light flashed, and three flying knives flew past his bald head.
It was only then that a heroic and pretty maid flashed out of the crowd.
She shouted coquettishly: "I am the general He Lou Aoqing, on the orders of the queen, to protect the king of Fuyang and Cui Geng, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, I see who dares to be rude to Cui Shangshu!" No mercy! โ
"My mother!"
Yuan Qing secretly screamed in his heart, and he didn't dare to move anymore. Without it, Cui Geng and Cui Rizhi are officials of the Imperial Court and can be bullied.
But He Lou Aoqing is different, her "inner general" is an oblique official, strictly speaking, she is Empress Wei's private soldier.
If He Lou Aoqing is really unreasonable, kills more than a dozen people, and is protected by Empress Wei, is that a problem?
Cui Geng had already arrived in front of the statue of Shakyamuni Buddha at this time, wiped a few drops of sweat, and knew it in his heart.
He turned around and came to the outside of the hall, and said loudly: "Ladies and gentlemen, what Monk Yuanqing said just now is concealed, and the Buddha statue in the Equality Temple is very different from the Buddha statue in the Faxian Temple today. โ
Feng Changqing said: "What's the difference? โ
"According to historical records, the Buddha statue in the Equality Temple is a wooden gold lacquer, but now the Buddha statue in the Faxian Temple is only made of a thin layer of copper."
Cui Rizhi was puzzled: "It's nothing more than the difference in cost, what is the significance of this difference?" โ
"Of course." Cui Geng smiled slightly and said, "At the beginning, the Buddha Khan in the Equality Temple was not the manifestation of the Buddha, the official does not know. However, the Buddha Khan of this Faxian Temple is man-made. โ
Someone in the crowd retorted, "How is that possible?" A few days ago, I watched the Buddha statue sweat. โ
"Seeing is not necessarily believing." Cui Geng knew to Cui Ri: "Please also ask the Ming Mansion to order someone to fetch some ice." โ
"The subordinate officer takes the order."
The wealthy families of the Tang Dynasty had a tradition of "hiding ice", and it was so easy to find some ice cubes in an international metropolis like Luoyang.
It didn't take much effort, and the ice cubes were taken.
Cui Geng also ordered someone to bring a copper bowl and a wooden table, and covered the ice cubes with copper bowls on the table.
This time, without his explanation, someone had already suddenly realized that there was ice in the Buddha statue, and water droplets would appear outside the Buddha statue. This water bead is not some Buddha Khan, we have been deceived! โ
Cui Gengdao: "That's right, because of the ice, the surface of the Buddha statue becomes cold, causing the water vapor scattered in the air to condense, which is the origin of the Buddha Khan of Sakyamuni in the Faxian Temple." โ
"Okay, Yuanqing, you dare to cheat this concubine's money, I think you are tired of being crooked!" Pei Xun pointed at the Yuanqing monk with his hand, his eyes widened, and he was angry.
Of course, this is pretending, don't look at his temper being cleaned up by Princess Yicheng, but his brain is definitely good, and he will fight back immediately.
With him taking the lead, the people suddenly became excited.
"Blaspheme the Buddha, defraud money, kill, kill him!"
"It turned out to be a demon monk playing ghosts, money, my money! It's all my hard-earned money! โ
"Pull it down, you just donated the same money, and I have a full fifty times!"
"No, I need to get my money back!"
โฆโฆ
Immediately, many people rushed forward, intending to snatch back their wealth.
But how can it be so easy?
Cui Rizhi was prepared when Cui Geng exposed the monks' deception. At this time, there were officials holding rulers and chains, guarding those goods.
"Do you want to rebel?" The officials shouted.
Just now, Pei Xun took the lead, and the people dared to force the anal servants, but now that Pei Xun has shrunk, how dare they fight against the government.
Immediately stopped, began to plead, and said, "Good job, return the money to us!" โ
"This money is mine!"
"Have mercy on you!"
โฆโฆ
Seeing this, Cui Rizhi looked at Cui Geng in embarrassment: "Cui Shangshu, look at this...... What should I do? โ
Cui Geng said: "You don't care, and it's up to the official to deal with it." โ
"Yes."
The people pleaded for a long time, but to no avail, and their voices slowly lowered.
It was only at this time that Cui Geng pressed down with his hands and said, "Everyone, listen to what the official said: your thoughts about wanting your money back, the official can understand it." But before that, what do you say about blocking Cui County's case? Hmph, holding a sword against officers and soldiers, do you want the majesty of the government anymore? โ
"I'm waiting for the lard to be blinded, and I also ask Cui County to order the adults to ignore the villain, don't be like the villain!"
"It's all because we were deceived by the Yuanqing monk, and I didn't mean to offend the government."
Someone else whispered: "Although we are at fault, it is mainly the ...... of the horse."
Cui Geng sneered: "Don't worry! If the horse is at fault, the official will still not forgive the loan! โ
After a pause, he turned his head to Pei Xun and said, "Pei Yuma, you have really committed a heinous crime by gathering a crowd to fight against the officers and soldiers today. Are you willing to donate all the money you have donated to help the victims of the disaster in the 17 states to atone for your past sins? โ
"I ...... I do! โ
Cui Geng said to the people again: "What about you? Would you like to donate this money to the relief of the victims in the 17 states? It is necessary to know that accumulating virtue and doing good deeds is the real accumulation of yin virtue, and you can be blessed by the Buddha! โ
Cui Rizhi is so smart that he immediately agreed: "Of course, it's hard to give up good money, and I really don't want to donate it." But just now, how much money each of you donated, the official doesn't know. Then report your name and the amount of money you have offered, and when the judge finds out, you will return it. โ
How can the people believe this, register their names and surnames and return their property? How is that possible? It's almost the same after the fall.
In addition, Cui Geng's very good reputation also played a role.
If an ordinary official said that he used his money for disaster relief, the people would suspect that it was an excuse for him to enrich his pockets, but Cui Qingtian, who is famous all over the world, said that he wanted to use it for disaster relief, so it was really impossible to be corrupt.
These two are soft and hard, and the people's thoughts of wanting money back are also light, and they have said: "Offering to the Buddha is praying for blessings, and helping the victims to accumulate yin virtue is also begging for blessings, and we are willing to donate." โ
"Very good, it's rare for everyone to understand the righteousness so well."
Suddenly, Cui Geng's face changed again, and he apologized: "This official wants to accompany everyone." In fact, Benguan and King Cheng have long known that the so-called Buddha Khan is fake, but the funds for disaster relief are seriously insufficient, so they have to act in such a play, which is really a shame. In this way, the official also gave 500,000 yuan to help the victims! โ
As he spoke, he took out fifty 10,000 silver tickets from his sleeve pocket and placed them on the hill where the belongings were piled up.
Originally, there was still a little helplessness, but now that the famous Cui Qingtian apologized, everyone felt much more comfortable It turned out that they were deceived by the monk, how embarrassing it was; Now he was deceived by Cui Qingtian to provide money to help the victims, which is a beautiful talk.
"Cui Qingtian doesn't have to apologize, the villain is willing to help the victims."
"If it weren't for Cui Qingtian, this money would have been cheaper than the evil monk of Faxian Temple, speaking of which, I have to thank you!"
"Since it is a relief for the victims, I will donate another twenty yuan!"
โฆโฆ
At this time, Li Qianli's heart was dripping blood.
In the final analysis, the people donate money according to their ability, and they do not hurt their muscles and bones. But he is different, in order to please Wu Zetian over the years, he has offered a lot of "local products", and he doesn't have much savings at all.
The nearly 200,000 yuan of property that was deliberately used to "fish" just now was all looted by Li Xian since he ascended the throne. It's good now, go back to the pre-liberation overnight!
The most important thing is that Cui Geng made it clear that he wanted to use this money in exchange for not pursuing today's matter, how dare he not agree? Otherwise, Cui Geng would have investigated him for the crime of defrauding the people with the monks. Even, this continues to dig deep into his other crimes in Luoyang!
It is not impossible that Cui Geng smelled the smell and noticed the big event he planned.
Forget it, let's break the fortune and eliminate the disaster.
In the end, Li Qianli had to grit his teeth and said: "King Fuyang is right, this king's action today is indeed to hope that everyone will donate more for the victims." In this way, this king is not as rich as the king of Fuyang, so he will donate another 50,000 yuan to talk about his heart. โ

Seven days later, forty miles outside the city of Jinju.
Sigh~~
Cui Geng grabbed the reins, turned over and dismounted, and said: "I'm about to arrive in Jinzhou, not only is it the most seriously affected here, but Zheng Pusi's relief is very weak, the people are miserable, and the official must pay a good visit." But before that, General Helou, can we talk openly and honestly? โ
He Lou Aoqing also dismounted, stroked the hair on his forehead, and said, "What does Cui Shangshu want to say?" โ
"You have been sullen for the past few days, picking your nose and eyes at this official, where did I offend you?"
