A few miles from the north gate of Yangzhou City is Daming Temple. The conflict occurred in the fruit and vegetable garden behind Daming Temple. This garden is about hundreds of acres and belongs to the land under the name of Daming Temple.

However, when Zheng Zhi, a minor official from the Ministry of Revenue, was brought to his men to prepare for the garden, he was violently obstructed by monks from Daming Temple, and a conflict broke out between the two.

When Xu Jin and his men rushed to the garden behind Daming Temple, they saw that they saw a dozen monks with half of their arms bare and holding swords and Zen sticks, and they were blocking the middle of the road with evil spirits, and they refused to let the servants responsible for clearing the land pass.

But what is strange is that not only did the officers not get angry, they gathered together in groups of three or three to chat. Some even sat on the ground and threw the tools used to clear the land next to them, looking at the fun that was nothing to do.

It is said that although Xu Jin and Xia Yan brought a group of clerk documents when they left Beijing this time, these clerk documents only do supervision and statistics and record work. Grassroots staff who specifically carry out the task of cleaning must still be recruited from local government offices.

Moreover, the wages of these grassroots workers are also paid by local governments, so no matter whether they work more or less, the wages they get every month are the same. Therefore, the work attitude of these grassroots workers is very perfunctory. If someone encounters violent obstruction, don’t expect them to be tough. Maybe these guys are happy to be idle.

It is precisely because of this that Zheng Zhi, a minor official in charge of the Ministry of Revenue, had to run back to find Xu Jin, which was a pity.

When Xu Jin saw this situation in front of him, his face suddenly became dark and he shouted sternly: "Come on, take down all these illegal monks who hinder official duties."

Xu Jin was also angry, so he decided to kill the chicken to warn the monkey, so that anyone would dare to follow suit in the future, and even the grassroots clearance work was in trouble.

With the order from Xu Jin, the Jinyiwei brought by Lu Bing immediately pulled out his waist knife and surrounded him with a fierce spirit, while shouting loudly against the monks who put down their weapons.

The dozen monks looked hesitant and slowly retreated, but no one put down their weapons. Lu Bing couldn't help but be furious and slashed at the monk's hand in the lead with a knife. He probably wanted to establish his authority but not to take human life. However, the monk's eyes flashed with a fierce light and subconsciously waved his sword to block the battle.

With a proper explosion, the embroidered sword in Lu Bing's hand was so shocked that it almost flew out of his hand. He was so shocked that he hurriedly retreated in a panic, feeling the tiger's mouth was burning and it was probably broken.

Bang……

With a gunshot, the powerful monk Kong Wu's chest was thundering, and he screamed and fell to the ground, twitched for a few times before he stopped moving. He saw a 500-battalion soldiers' muzzle still emitting white smoke, and they reloaded the ammunition as if nothing had happened.

Xu Jin said coldly: "But anyone who dares to resist the law violently will kill him."

The monks were left looking at each other in shock and hung down their weapons. The grassroots officers watching the fun were also dissatisfied. They felt their backs were cold and secretly picked up tools for clearing the land. They probably wouldn't dare to slacken off in the future.

Lu Bing reacted at this time and shouted in anger: "Take it all, but those who resist will kill it."

A group of Jinyiwei rushed forward fiercely, and waved his sword to chop. The monks immediately became cowardly and threw down their weapons and surrendered. Soon, more than a dozen monks were captured and knelt on the ground with their heads in their hands.

"Mr. Xu, please show mercy!" At this time, a loud shout came from a distance.

Xu Jin looked up and saw Zen Master Huijing, the head of Daming Temple, leading the monks to come here quickly. One of them was Shi Haoran, a guy with a body shape as a meat mountain.

Zen Master Huijing was tall, although his hair and beard were white, but his face was rosy, his eyes were bright, and he walked in a big red cassock. He was so powerful that the brothers Xie Erjian and Xie Sanqin subconsciously stood in front of Xu Jin.

When Zen Master Huijing got closer, he saw a monk shot in the chest and died on the ground. He immediately showed compassion on his face. He whispered together and shouted the Buddha's name: "Amitabha Buddha, God has the virtue of being alive. Why is Lord Xu so cruel? Sin!"

Lu Bing lost face just now and was so angry that he immediately sneered: "Where did the bald donkey come from? Let your mother's donkey fart."

Xu Jin said lightly: "Zen Master Huijing, the monks in the temple violently obstructed the officials' affairs with weapons and violence. This evil monk even attacked the official in front of the imperial envoy, which was like a rebellion. What's wrong with killing him?"

With the hat of rebellion, Monk Huijing was speechless. At this time, Shi Haoran, a fat man in Lianghuai Salt Transportation, finally rushed over and panted and wiped his sweat, saying, "I have seen Lord Xu!"

Xu Jin glanced at Shi Haoran and frowned and said, "It turns out that Lord Shi is here. Zen Master Huijing, the monks in the temple dared to obstruct the land clearance by force. Could it be because Lord Shi is here to support him?"

"Amitabha Buddha, Lord Xu misunderstood, there is no such thing." Zen Master Huijing lowered his eyebrows and lowered his eyes and pronounced the Buddha's name, with his face not showing any joy and anger.

Shi Haoran said furiously: "Although Lord Xu was an imperial envoy, he could not justify his innocence. He is indeed familiar with Zen Master Huijing, but today he is just a coincidence and has nothing to do with this matter."

Xu Jin suddenly said, "Oh, it turns out that I misunderstood. That official apologizes to Lord Shi here. But should Zen Master Huijing explain why he wants to obstruct the fields under the name of Qingzhanggui Temple? Could it be that there is something unpredictable?"

Huijing hurriedly said, "Mr. Xu is so serious. I have been talking to Master Shi in the meditation room this morning. I only heard about the conflict not long ago and did not instruct the monks of the temple to obstruct the officials from the official mission. The temple has always been law-abiding by the public and has absolutely nothing illegal."

Lu Bing sneered and said, "You old monk, can push you, two, five, and six. It turns out that the monk below is taking his own initiative?"

"Amitabha Buddha, monks do not lie. This is indeed not the instruction of me. Why do you and others obstruct the official mission?" Huijing asked in a deep voice.

A monk held by the Jinyiwei quickly replied: "Return to the host, Senior Brother Puhui is worried that these officials will trampl the vegetables in the field and disturb the sows that were cubs in the pigpen, so he took us and others to prevent the officials from entering the garden."

The senior brother Puhui mentioned in the monk was the leader monk who was shot to death just now.

Zen Master Huijing sighed and said, "I'm confused, for nothing, this disaster should be present in Puhui's life. Lord Xu, all this is a misunderstanding. It is not their original intention to obstruct official officials and officials from doing business. I beg Lord Xu to let them go. As for the land under the name of this temple, Lord Xu can clear the rice at will."

Xu Jin said calmly: "Since Zen Master Huijing said it was a misunderstanding, then this official should just regard it as a misunderstanding. However, these monks use weapons to obstruct officials from the official mission, and the crime of death can be avoided, and the crime of living cannot be escaped. Each person is poached ten times to serve as a warning!"
