It wasn’t just those who clamored to quit who thought this way, even those who insisted on staying were shocked.
You know, if you let them go so easily, the prestige of the temple will be greatly reduced in the future.
From now on, the Temple will become a slightly stronger force and will no longer have such a sacred status.
Without these, the temple will exist in name only, so what’s the point of their persistence?
Compared with the worries of supporters, those who want to quit are overjoyed.
"I just said that the temple must have fallen into decline. If it were in the past, how could they be so easy to talk to!"
"In the past, it was just because everyone still remembered the old feelings, so that they could hold us down. Now, ha, it's nothing more than that."
All kinds of contemptuous taunts made those supporters clenched their fists.
But just when the guys couldn't help but want to fight back, they saw Long Tianyu and ordered people to open all the boxes.
Those boxes have been gathering dust for a long time, and from the looks of things they should be old items.
When he displayed these things in front of people, he attracted most people's attention.
What surprised everyone was that what was contained in these wooden boxes turned out to be bamboo slips.
What is this?
Lin Mengya just picked up a roll and was shocked when she saw the content on it.
Then she looked at Long Tianyu with a bit more relaxed eyes.
I didn't expect that he would actually hold such a useful thing in his hand. It seems that no one can get it from their hands today.
"It seems that His Highness does not need my help today?"
She blinked her eyes and joked with the other person in a good mood.
Long Tianyu raised his eyebrows, and his already handsome face became a bit frivolous because of this action.
"Without Madam's help, I can't do anything."
Lin Mengya smiled at the other party and said softly, "Okay, I know what you mean. Don't worry, I've even raised my sons, so I won't leave you alone."
Long Tianyu muttered dissatisfiedly.
"You were originally mine, but those two brats asked them to go out to find their wives!"
At the same time, the people in the audience were forcefully fed this wave of dog food.
Everyone wants to complain in unison. There is still a fight here. Is such a blatant show of affection really okay?
Lin Mengya smiled and stood firmly beside her man.
Only then was Long Tianyu willing to turn his attention to those who were making trouble. After seeing the determination in those people's eyes, he sneered disdainfully, "You want to retreat?" It is of course easy to leave the temple, but before exiting, you must return the things in the temple."
Most people can't understand what he said.
The person who took the lead in making trouble also belongs to the ranks of people who don't understand.
Seeing what he said, he couldn't help but laugh and said, "The temple is indeed getting worse from generation to generation. At least when the previous temple master was here, the majesty of the temple could be maintained. Now, tsk..."
Lin Mengya was very unhappy when she said this, and she only thought about how she would watch this guy cry.
However, Long Tianyu was not affected by the other party, but his face darkened and his tone was serious.
"The things here are the treaties signed by various forces and the temple when the temple was originally built."
He took out one of the bamboo slips and curled the corners of his mouth, but it was a mockery of those people who did not know their own abilities.
"It says that all descendants of these forces must abide by the contents of the contract. Once someone breaks the contract, the other party will lose all inherited ancestral property, and these ancestral properties will belong to the temple."
Everyone couldn't help but take a breath.
Did their ancestors actually sign such a powerful contract behind their backs?
But it's not over yet.
Long Tianyu casually took out another bamboo slip and said, "Except for these, all the forces here that are related to the temple, all your real estate now belongs to the temple. And you are just renting it temporarily.
On the land of our temple. Once you withdraw from the temple, all your real estate will be returned to the temple!"
These two things made those people explode.
"Impossible. Even though our ancestors were attached to the temple, they would never have signed such a contract. You must have lied to me!"
Some people began to loudly deny it.
But Long Tianyu's black eyes were cold and cold, as if they would not be affected by anyone or anything.
He saw those who opposed and spoke fiercely below, their thin lips slightly opened, but every word they spoke was like a steel knife.
"Every contract on this has the emblem of your respective family. And these emblems are special marks that can only be found in the ancestral temples of each of your families. Of course, if someone doesn't know this mark, they can only explain it.
If it is not the orthodoxy of the family, then everything you are using now should have been returned to the temple long ago. Or, it should be given to someone who recognizes the contract of the temple."
His voice was sonorous and powerful enough for everyone present to hear clearly.
Now only those who want to leave are completely
panicked.
What is the foundation for them to settle down and live?
In fact, it is land, real estate, power and money.
It can be said that everyone present, except the Gong family, is not so stable, united, and unanimous in dealing with the outside world.
And once there is an opportunity to bring them down with justifiable authority, their enemies will never ignore this opportunity.
This strategy can be described as a careful decision, very powerful.
Of course, there are also people who do not believe in evil and are brave enough to shout, "Those are old almanacs of many years ago. Many things in my family are no longer ancestral property. They were all obtained by our hard work bit by bit. Why should I give them to you?"
?”
Long Tianyu turned his long eyes to the other party and said in a cold tone, "If this is the case, then we can only let you redeem the ancestral property belonging to the temple. And we will choose one or several executors to fully support them in getting it back.
Those properties that have been sold privately by you. It is only natural to repay debts. If someone defaults on their debts, they must first consider whether they can accept the attack from my temple!"
Now, those families and forces that were clamoring to quit just now were completely dumbfounded.
The move just now was to make them fall into civil strife because of the interests of the family. The move now is to use sufficient bait to force the hostile forces that have long coveted them to take action.
With internal and external troubles, I am afraid that the world will be in chaos.
Those people never dreamed that the temple would hide these things, and the new temple master was so brave.
The leader, who had remained calm at first, was now a little flustered.
He pointed at the young man on the high platform in disbelief and shouted angrily, "You, if you do this, aren't you afraid of causing harm to the whole world?"
"All the people in the world?" Long Tianyu seemed to have heard a very funny topic, but his smile was so cold that just one look at it would make people feel cold all over.
"Which of the things my temple has done is not the common people of the world? It was you who destroyed the order for your own selfish desires, so if the common people of the world want to blame you, they blame you, not me."
The man stared at him and was speechless for a long time.
The forces nearby who chose to leave the temple are now coming back to their senses.
Everyone feels that the temple is unimportant, because apart from being looked up to and serving as a spiritual pillar, it seems to have no other specific role.
But what they don't know is that the temple is actually the anchor of the entire Weiguo situation.
The reason why all the major families and forces have been able to coexist peacefully for so many years is entirely because of the mediation of the Holy Temple.
The reason why the temple is powerful is not because of its strong soldiers and horses, nor because of the faith of the world.
< br> But because its existence is actually to reconcile the conflicts between these aristocratic families.
Therefore, when irreconcilable conflicts arise between them, the first thing they think of is to use the temple to adjudicate.
Over the years, the temple has helped them and reconciled with them countless times, overtly and covertly.
But now someone is trying to cut off the main trunk of this big tree.
Without the trunk, what would the branches and leaves do?
If they want to cause chaos, then he will let them have enough chaos!
Long Tianyu looked at the chaos below coldly, showing no signs of softening.
Now those who want to leave the temple feel only fear and uneasiness.
They are surrounded by enemies from both sides. Not only do they have to consider their own problems, they also have to be on guard against sneak attacks from those people at any time.
On days like this, even if they are lying on mountains of gold and silver, they will not feel at ease.
And those forces that chose to continue supporting the temple also had their own considerations.
After all, everyone is doing it for profit, but they just consider it from different perspectives, so they make different choices.
And these people will eventually become the ultimate beneficiaries. Once the temple really starts to implement it, they will be like tigers descending from the mountain.
At that time, who can grab how much will depend on their abilities.
Lin Mengya had been standing quietly beside Long Tianyu.
In fact, after she saw the contents on those bamboo slips, she knew what Long Tianyu had planned.
"This is a good way."
She understands him best.
Some people may say that doing this is no less than killing a goose to retrieve the egg.
Even if those properties are taken back, they will eventually be divided up by other forces.
Moreover, they have also lost a relatively stable living space, which is not a good thing for the people of Weiguo.
In fact, this was his carefully considered decision.
"Everyone's heart is broken now, so I might as well make the current situation more chaotic. At least we can still fish in troubled waters."
From what happened to the deputy palace master, he saw the seriousness of the matter.
These people below are confused, but some of them are sober.
The other party could actually figure out a way to control the temple by relying on the deputy temple master to achieve their own goals.
So the role of the temple is to do more harm than good.
At least the power of the temple cannot be allowed to be as strong as before, able to cover the sky with one hand.
But at the same time, he couldn't let the temple become too weak, which would be detrimental to his plan.
