Zhao Ran carefully reviewed the incriminating confession in his hand and weighed it repeatedly.
In this conviction letter signed by himself, he suggested that the monks of the Upper Three Palaces be divided into three levels for discussion:
The first class of culprits include Zhu Xianjian (deceased), envoys of the three palaces, Lan Daoxing, and Duan Chaoyong, as well as King De, Hu Dashun (deceased), Gong Kepei, Chen Yin, and Xiaoyao Taoist Lin Zhibin.
, Jinyiweinan Town Fusi Qianhu Zhuoyi (fleeing) and twelve others.
Among them, Zhao Ran focused on Lan Daoxing. He believed that Lan Daoxing had performed meritorious service at the last moment and had a very sincere attitude in pleading guilty. He suggested that this be considered when punishing him.
The second group is the associates, including forty-nine people including Master Lantianyu, Wang Shouyu, Seven-Star Monk, Wang Zhipeng, Tantai Abing, Zhang Cong, Minister of War, etc. These people are explained separately.
For example, Master Lan Tianyu and Wang Shouyu were injured and did not participate in Zhu Ni's main rebellious actions. The sentencing should mainly be considered in terms of the attempted assassination of the abbot of Xuantan Palace; the Seven-Star Monk was in a situation where he only obeyed orders, and the execution was
The superior ordered that since he had no idea about Zhu Xianxian's rebellion and was a kind of idiot with a bad brain, he could be given a lighter sentence.
The third level includes Lingji Palace Official Long, Xianling Palace Xiaoyao Jingyi, the Lu brothers, inhuman Taoist priests Zhang Zheng, Ma Tengfei, etc., a total of 104 people. Zhao Ran suggested that this level belongs to those who were coerced into following.
If someone is disobedient, and he did not make any serious mistakes when he was disobedient, and he has a good attitude of confessing after being captured, it is recommended to punish him with admonishment, instruction, or a fine of silver, etc.
These are the conviction suggestions submitted by Zhao Ran. There are a total of 165 people. Most of them are detained in Yuanfu Palace. Four people are at large. It is not that there are only four people at large. In fact, there are more than forty people. It’s just that except for four
Those on the list - except for Zhuo Yi, the rest of the fugitives have relatively minor crimes. Even if they are convicted, most of them are in the third level, and most of them have been rehabilitated by Leixiao Pavilion, Sanqing Pavilion, and Dongji Pavilion.
Recruitment is nothing more.
After being satisfied, Zhao Ran handed it over to Zhuo Yunfeng. Zhuo Yunfeng looked at it carefully and sighed: "It's a pity that many people in the first class have good cultivation."
Zhao Ran said: "Someone has to take responsibility for the chaos in the capital, right? Otherwise, there will be chaos not only in the capital, but also in the whole world."
Zhuo Yunfeng said: "This is natural...I will go back to Mount Lu right away. Master Wu Tianshi and Master Xu have officially proposed to Great Master Yunyi and Great Master Chang Yu to convene the True Master Hall for discussion. The two great monks have agreed.
It will be decided the day after tomorrow. In the past few days, Zhiran should have a good rest and stop running around."
Zhao Ran nodded: "Understood."
Overview, three flying magic weapons arrived, specifically used to send prisoners listed in the first and second levels to Lushan for detention and conviction, while the third level remained in Yuanfu Palace, Chaotian Palace and Xianling Palace, waiting for disposal.
.
Zhuo Yunfeng saw that everyone had gathered and ordered to set off, while Zhao Ran hid in the side hall, looking through the window lattice as several flying magic weapons filled with prisoners slowly took off and headed towards the west.
I went to the back bedroom to visit Li Dayin. Li Dayin was lying on the bed, leaning on the pillow and slowly drinking medicine. His old lover A Jiang was feeding the simmered elixir into his mouth one spoon at a time, while Peng Yunyi, Zhou Keli and others were surrounding him.
At the bedside, I reported to him the progress of the Winter Training Ball Tournament.
Li Dayin's injuries finally stabilized after surviving the first three days of danger. He was seriously injured this time. Qiu Yunqing was already merciful and beat him until he vomited blood. Under the erosion of his magic power, his hand was injured.
The Shaoyang and Shaoyin pulses of the hand will not be cured if not regulated for several months.
Fortunately, Qi Hai was not hurt, otherwise Li Dayin would have been useless.
Zhao Ran felt ashamed and said: "Lao Li, this revenge is a bit difficult to avenge. I'm trying my best to find a way, but even if I take revenge, I'm afraid I can only consider it from another perspective."
Li Dayin said: "I am also arrogant, thinking that no matter what, I can block his move. Didn't I hear you say that your senior brother once used Zhu Xian's move? I thought at that time, this opportunity is rare, why don't I try a move?
?This palm finally woke me up. From the Archmage to the Grand Refiner, the difference of two levels is like a difference between heaven and man. I don’t dare to think about revenge. I can only urge myself in the future.
You have to study hard."
Zhao Ran said: "For this justice, we still need to get some of it back. Let's see in a few days."
Li Dayin said: "I'm telling you, don't bother my teacher with this matter. It's already very difficult for him. Don't let him have any accidents because of this thing about me. Then I, as a disciple, can
There is really no redemption at all. Zhiran, Yun Yi, you have to promise me! Today's Yuanfu Palace is no longer the Yuanfu Palace that cherishes the sun. Everyone must think twice before doing anything."
Zhao Ran agreed and took a donkey cart back to Jilong Mountain to continue building his cockcrow temple.
In his plan, Jiming Temple is divided into eight deacon rooms. For business, there is a room for practicing certificate management, a room for maritime trade license management, a publicity and education room, and an inspection room. For management, there are accounting rooms, building rooms, warehouses, and dormitories.
wait.
In the past few days, Zhao Ran has been asking for manpower from the Ministry of Household Affairs one after another. He has actually poached some old officials. He also published recruitment information through "Inside and Outside the Imperial City" and recruited several former masters from Shaoxing, Suzhou and other places, totaling twenty
The remaining people, all of whom are masters of money and food for criminals, were first charged into the eight deacons' rooms.
With such a group of people, Cockcrow Temple can be put into preliminary operation. Since Chaotian Palace, Xianling Palace, and Lingji Palace are all building their own military force, Zhao Ran cannot fall behind in any case. The so-called inspection room is for this purpose.
Come.
Of course, it is not the time to establish an inspection room yet. Everything needs to wait for the final trial of Zhu Xianjian's conspiracy case by Zhenshitang. This time point is very important to Zhao Ran.
On the sixth day of October, Zhenren Zhou, who was checking the credibility statistics in Jiuzhou Pavilion, saw Song Yangshi and asked, "You and Du Yanghong are back? How about it?"
Song Yangshi said: "It's solved. A group of dwarfs who believed in evil spirits came from the east and secretly occupied Ganghwa Island. They occupied it for three years. The King of Goryeo did not dare to retaliate. He organized his own army to conquer three times and was defeated. I
He Yanghong didn't bother to recruit manpower, so he captured all the dwarfs who occupied the island and handed them over to Goryeo soldiers."
Master Zhou asked: "Did you take action personally?"
Song Yangshi said: "There are only a few dwarfs in that group, more than 200 in total, and there are only a dozen who practice demon magic. With such a small number of people, the Goryeo King's army just can't take them down, and the monks over there are also extremely weak.
It’s really irritating. I’m afraid we need to send some people over to control it.”
Zhou Zhenzhen said: "No wonder, I said that in the past three years, the credibility of Goryeo has decreased by one hundred thousand every year. It turns out that this is the reason. It is also the fault of Zhenshitang, which only preaches to them and does not teach them the Dharma."
Song Yangshi said: "Let's talk about this issue later. The Zhenshi Hall will be convened soon to discuss the proposal of conviction submitted by Zhao Zhiran. Will you go?"
Zhou Zhenren said: "Of course I want to support Zhao Zhiran's proposal, let's go."
