Chapter 42: Assassination

I don't know what Zhao Kuangyin and Chai Rong said, anyway, Chai Rong was very happy, and he invited the ministers to discuss it that night.

The next day, Zhao Xu didn't have anything to do, he didn't have to "go to work" today, Chai Rong specially gave these generals a few days of vacation.

When he had nothing to do, he took Liu Hong to congratulate Dong Xuanye and went to visit the old man with a gift.

At the gate of Gaofu, I happened to meet Gao Huailiang, who was about to go out with something, and there was a carriage behind him.

Zhao Xu saw this, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute and say hello, he was indeed Gao Huailiang's boss in the army, but now he is at home.

Gao Huailiang is his uncle, and of course the younger generation has to salute when he sees the elders. Gao Huailiang saw Zhao Xu quip:

"Zhao Xu, you're here to find my Guiying, are you angry with you?"

"Second uncle, don't I have no choice, you also know that we went to the northwest together, and I just came back."

Zhao Xu said a little helplessly. Gao Huaiying, a girl, looks very gentle now, and sometimes she likes to be petty.

"By the way, second uncle, where are you going, and you still have a big bag?" Zhao Xu asked suspiciously.

Gao Huailiang scratched his head embarrassedly: "Isn't this that I have time now, accompany your second aunt back to her parents' house, hehe." ”

At this time, Zhao Xu also saw that Gao Huailiang's wife was not beautiful, but she was also a small jasper-type.

Zhao Xu couldn't help but salute again, which made her blush a little, and he was not a few years older than Zhao Xu. She was also secretly looking at Zhao Xu.

Sure enough, he is a handsome young man, this is Gui Ying's niece's fiancé, and every time her husband praises him.

I see him today, he is very young, but he is also worthy of Gui Ying.

Gao Huailiang chatted with Zhao Xu for a while and left, he still had to rush to see his own father-in-law, how could he have time to talk nonsense about Zhao Xu here.

Zhao Xu's arrival, Gao Huaide's family was very happy, especially Gao Huaide's wife, Gao Guiying's mother, looking at this future son-in-law is more and more satisfied. ()

But Gao Guiying ignored him, but Gao Huaide's son, Xiao Gao Qiong, who was only seven years old, was very affectionate with Zhao Xu.

A brother-in-law amused the whole family, and Gao Guiying was also so ashamed that her face was flushed, and she glared at her little brother fiercely.

The little guy didn't buy her account at all, and still went his own way, stomping Gao Gui's feet heroically.

Gao Huaide also looked at this future son-in-law who was on the rise, and nodded with satisfaction.

After Zhao Xu's sweet words, Gao Guiying finally smiled, but Zhao Xu secretly wiped his sweat on the side.

"It seems that it is not easy to deal with women." Thinking about it, he wiped the sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief.

After eating, Zhao Xu took Gao Guiying around Bianjing City and sent her home, and the sun had already set.

Zhao Xu was not in a hurry to go home, he heard that Kaifeng's night market snacks were very famous in his previous life, but unfortunately he never had the opportunity, try it, this time you must have a good taste.

He turned to the two behind him and said:

"Lao Liu, Lao Dong, have you eaten any snacks here, how does it taste?"

Dong Xuanye, who had a loud voice, spoke:

"My lord, what is there to eat about that thing, and I don't want to be hungry, I think I prefer roast duck and spirits, that's delicious."

Saying that, this guy still shook his black head, as if he was reminiscing.

Zhao Xu was really speechless about such a big boss, but he didn't say anything, you can't ask Li Kui to embroider.

Liu Hongqing also shook his head and said that he had not eaten it.

These two people, this time the credit is not small, Zhao Xu wants them to serve in the army, according to their merits, it will be more than enough to be ten people now.

But when he brought it up, both of them shook their heads like rattles, but they didn't want to, so they liked to follow his side.

Zhao Xu also shook his head in confusion, so he had to give them all the gold and silver that the court had rewarded him.

"Okay, I'll take you to eat this delicious snack today, I'm sure you won't want to return, let's go, there is a soup dumpling xiaolongbao in front, and I asked the two of you."

Zhao Xu sniffed it and made a look of enjoyment, and then walked over quickly.

At this time, in a remote house, some people were gathered around and discussing something.

"My master said that this time you will help him kill this man, and it will give you a lot of benefits, and within his jurisdiction, your property will be protected."

A fat man with two mustaches said to the rest of the room, squinting and only seeing his eyes in a line.

Seeing that those people seemed a little hesitant, he continued:

"You don't know yet, he was the one who gave His Majesty the idea at that time, you don't think he is young, but he has a lot of eyes."

"If it weren't for him, to give this advice to Your Majesty, why would the position have fallen to this point, at this time you should be eating fasting and reciting Buddha, why do you have to run for life?"

Yes, this room is full of monks, monks who have been kicked out of the monastery to be exact. Chai Rong ordered restrictions on Buddhism.

During the Five Dynasties period, there were constant wars, Buddhism rose, and Taoists were good, but when Buddhism arose, it wantonly collected wealth, annexed land, and threatened the rule of the country.

Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, the Later Zhou Dynasty began to exercise effective management of Buddhism in the area under his rule. In the third year of Guangshun, Chai Rong was named Kaifeng Yin and meritorious envoy and was crowned as the king of Jin at the same time, managing monks and Taoists, and taking charge of matters such as ordination, ordination, and scripture trials.

In the same year, Guo Wei ordered the abolition of some illegal monasteries in Kaifeng, and dozens of Chai Rong succeeded to the throne for Zhou Shizong, who did not attack Buddhism at first in order to stabilize the regime.

After he resolutely repelled the joint attack of Liu Chong of the Northern Han Dynasty and the Khitan, the throne was secured, and he once again felt the threat of Buddhism to the state power.

Reform was carried out, state affairs were rectified, and Buddhism was restricted, on a large scale, and firmly restricted.

Those who were ordained for committing crimes and trying to escape punishment were strictly punished, and monks and nuns were encouraged to return to the laity.

Ordered the closure of those who had amassed money in the name of monasteries, and the destruction of Buddha statues in these monasteries and confiscation of money.

At this time, these monks in front of them belong to this category. When I was in the monastery, I was lazy and cheated the believers out of their money, and my life was very nourishing.

Now that they have been kicked out of the monastery, they are unwilling to work, and they are idle all day long, stealing chickens and dogs, and with their skills, the victims do not dare to speak up.

On this day, someone came to them and said that they were asking them to help kill a man, and when it was done, there was a big bounty.

At the same time, another majestic monastery will be built for them in his precinct. The thief monk's eyes lit up when he heard this.

But they are not stupid, such a generous treatment, the risk must be great, so they have not answered.

Now I hear the fat man in front of me say that his temple was recommended to be sealed by this person who wants to be killed, and he can't hold his breath.

"You mean that this person is the temple that was sealed by this person to the emperor?" The leading monk said suspiciously.

"That's still fake, where was my master at the time, I heard it with my own ears, why don't you say it?"

The little fat man is not afraid that others will guess the identity of his master, and there are more people who can see the emperor, so let them guess.

"Senior brother, let's do it, I don't want to live like this, when we killed the master, didn't we just want to live a good life, you see what kind of life we live now."

Before the leading monk could speak, Xiaomian's little brother began to shout.

"Senior brother, let's do it."

"Yes, senior brother, let's do it."

……

This group of days when they are used to clothes to reach out for food and open their mouths, these days are really difficult for him, and he will not let go of the opportunity to enjoy it when he hears it.

Looking at his younger brothers, the senior brother also made a decision:

"Okay, but I'm going to add another five thousand taels to the original price, you see how it is, if it's appropriate, we'll do it, otherwise you can ask another smart reads;!"

He pondered for a moment, and then said to the little fat man.

"I'm still thinking about money, and when things are done, it's time to send you to see the Buddha." The little fat man thought so in his heart, but he said:

"As long as you get things done, do as you say."

Zhao Xu and the three of them were already eating snacks in the night market at this time, and they were rushing back, and they had to pass through a section of alleys when they returned to Zhao's mansion.

Just as they were walking here, a sudden sound of breaking wind came, and when Zhao Xu was puzzled, Liu Hongqing next to him pushed him away.

"Be careful." Then Liu Hongqing had a feather arrow stuck in his arm, and then more than a dozen people in black stood in front of them.

They were covered in black, only two eyes were exposed, and each of them was holding a steel knife in his hand, and even the fierce light in their eyes could be seen.

Zhao Xu didn't ask who they were, he knew that it was in vain to ask, people were here for you, would they tell you any news?

Liu Hongqing pulled out the feather arrow on his arm vigorously, but it was not poisonous, regardless of the blood flowing from his arm.

Annoyed was also the saber on his body, Dong Xuanye's huge body, taking a step forward, practicing kung fu horizontally, and instantly running his whole body.

Zhao Xu is also not idle, it seems that he has never done it like this, I don't know if his kung fu has regressed in a single fight.

In her previous life, she liked to use swords, and when she came to this era, she favored swords, and the sword on his body was his family heirloom.

Zhao Kuangyin likes to use the dragon stick, and this sword naturally fell into the hands of his eldest grandson.

This sword is three feet nine inches long, suspected to be cast by the cold iron of the Western Regions, and is handed down by the ancestors of the Zhao family, no one knows how many generations it has been passed on, but the time is definitely not short.

Zhao Xujian pointed to a few people in front of him, he couldn't understand who he had never offended, who wanted to kill him?

He didn't offend anyone, but he didn't know that he was inadvertently blocking the way of others.......
