Chapter 296: Chapter 296
Get out of the carriage.
Zhang Rongfang frowned and looked at Wanghai Temple.
"Quickly enter the temple and see if there are any thieves! How dare you raid Wanghai Temple under my rule? If the masters make any mistakes, how can I explain to the Zen masters of the Western Sect!?"
He looked dignified and said solemnly.
Shangguan Lianyue led people to follow from behind.
"Master Shoujiao, all the religious affairs of the entire Erythronia belong to you, and it is your responsibility, which has nothing to do with the lower officials.
Previously, Xiaguan only came to relieve the siege of Chenxiang Palace, now that the matter has been settled, Xiaguan should return to Xuehong Pavilion. "
"Master Shangguan is going back so soon?" Zhang Rongfang was surprised.
"Why don't you stay for a while longer, so that this official can also fulfill the friendship of the landlord."
"Thank you, sir, for your kindness. It's just that I've been used to the penance life for several months. I've been in this place for a long time. I'm afraid it will affect my mood if I go back. As the saying goes, gentle enjoyment is a bone-eating poison."
Shangguan Lianyue chuckled twice, but didn't finish speaking.
Suddenly, there was a sharp siren firework sound from Wanghai Temple.
The red fireworks exploded suddenly.
Several figures rushed out quickly, kneeling on one knee in front of Zhang Rong.
"Master Shoujiao, something is wrong!! Wanghai Temple is full of signs of fighting, and corpses are all over the ground! The abbot, Zen Master Kongxiang, is nowhere to be seen and seems to be missing!"
"What!!?" Zhang Rongfang turned pale with shock, "Take me to see it!"
Shangguan Lianyue at the side also had a faltering smile on his face.
He had also heard of Kong Xiang in Wanghai Temple. Although he didn't know him, in the True Buddha Temple, among the monks of Kong's generation, there was not a weak one.
At least it is also a super-inner magic spirit.
And Kongxiang can sit in one place, I am afraid that there are many three empty spirits.
Such a master, who is at the same level as him, will suddenly disappear inexplicably! ?
The more Shangguan Lianyue thought about it, the more panicked she became.
It feels like the depth of the water in the Erythroma port is simply unimaginable.
There was something wrong with the encirclement and suppression of the secret religion last time.
This time, there are so many monks in the dignified Wanghai Temple, and there is also an eminent monk of the empty generation who takes the lead.
He quickly followed Zhang Rongfang and entered the temple together with Sun Chaoyue, Chen Han and others.
Sure enough, as soon as he entered the gate of the temple, the inner wall was broken and the pillars of the house were broken.
The ground is full of cracked stone slabs and deep footprints.
The corpses of the monks were lying in a pool of blood, and they had already lost their breath.
Strangely, Kongxiang, the most powerful abbot in the temple, was nowhere to be seen.
Seeing this messy murder scene.
Shangguan Lianyue only felt a chill in his heart rushing to the back of his head.
Then look at Zhang Yingdaozi who looked shocked.
The other party's shocked expression was very real, but for some reason, he always felt that something was wrong.
"What kind of murderer is this!!? He dared to lay such a murderous hand on the masters of Xizong!! It's just. Just!!" Zhang Rong looked ugly, his body was trembling, and he yelled loudly as if he was terrified.
"I, Zhang, is a church guard, and now I am facing a serious case. It is my lack of control!!" He lamented loudly, with a distressed expression on his face.
"Li Shang!"
"Here!" A strong Taoist guarding the teaching office behind him stepped forward and knelt down.
"Starting today, I order you to fully mobilize all the forces in the Shoujiao Yamen. You must investigate the murderer behind Wanghai Temple! Find out the clues!! Give me a bright future in Citonggang!!" Zhang Rongfang sternly said.
"I obey orders!!" The Taoist named Li Shang responded loudly, feeling that he was being reused, and became emotional for a while.
"Li Shang, I know that you have always been very knowledgeable and extremely capable of tracing. This time, perhaps the case of the masters will be entrusted to you."
Zhang Rongfang looked at the blood on the ground and sighed.
"Shang, I will live up to my lord's entrustment!" Encouraged by the highest-ranking boss, Li Shang felt as if he had been beaten with chicken blood, his face flushed, and his eyes were firm.
At this time, the officials and soldiers of the government office and the government governor came late.
Teams of people surrounded Wanghai Temple again.
Governor Zhao Yanting and Governor Nilov hurried over with their personal guards at the same time.
After seeing the blood and flesh in Wanghai Temple, both of them turned pale and looked at Zhang Rongfang.
"Zhang Shoujiao, what do you think about this matter!?" Zhao Yanting panicked a little.
Wanghai Temple is a brand new temple built by the eminent monks of Xizong.
It has only been built for a year or two now, and such a major event has happened.
Once verified, under the joint responsibility, he, the governor in charge of local security management, can hardly escape the blame.
"My lord Zhao, my lord Nilov, I have ordered people to conduct a strict investigation. We must mobilize all forces, and at all costs, we must bring the murderer to justice, so as to comfort the souls of the masters of Wanghai Temple!"
Zhang Rongfang sighed.
"Well, if there is anything useful in this case, Zhang Shoujiao just speak up." Ninov and Kong Xiang met and knew that the other party's strength was terrifying.
At this time, even the empty phase disappeared mysteriously, and the whole Wanghai Temple was in a mess, how could he dare to come in and wade into the muddy water.
Among the people present, only Zhang Ying and Zhang Shoujiao, as a Daoist Taoist, have this background to carry this wave of accountability.
"Thank you, Mr. Fu Yin." Zhang Rongfang clasped his fists to Nilov in gratitude.
"No matter what, Master Shoujiao, please give the results as soon as possible. This matter is of great importance. Xuehong Pavilion and Zhenfo Temple may both send people to investigate."
Zhao Yanting reminded.
"I understand!" Zhang Rongfang nodded solemnly.

In the blink of an eye, another month passed.
The case of Wanghai Temple was quickly closed.
The entire Wanghai Temple was raided and wiped out by experts from the Qianjiao League of the Esoteric Cult.
The remains of corpses belonging to the masters of the Qianjiao League were also found in the Wanghai Temple, as well as traces of violent fighting.
The body of Kongxiang was also found on a beach a few miles away from Wanghai Temple.
There was only a piece of skin left on the body, and the inside was empty.
As for why the Qianjiao League raided Xizong?
This is not known.
No one can know what these esoteric masters will do.
Anyway, as long as they are against Lingting, they will do it.
If you encounter problems, just pile them on their heads.
After Zhang Rongfang reported the case, the Zhenfo Temple did not respond for the time being.
This shocking case is considered to be over.
Mid-July.
The civil strife in Daling gradually subsided.
After the expeditionary force landed overseas, they even conquered more than a dozen small countries. According to the rules, the men were all over the wheel and killed them all.
After that, a large number of women and children's belongings were looted and transported back to various ports in Daling through the logistics fleet.
Among them, Erythrina Port received the most.
Late July.
The ship transporting the slaves arrived at Zayton Harbor again.
The sea breeze howled at the pier, and the temperature gradually began to cool down.
Groups of women and children in gray skirts walked down the gangway beside the boat neatly with miserable expressions.
Except for children, these people are all women, and their skin color is obviously different from most of the big spirits. More Hussi-like features.
The eyes they raised from time to time revealed numbness, despair, apprehension, and fear.
Some of these women even had slightly protruding stomachs and bruises all over their bodies. Perhaps they were raped halfway on the boat and became pregnant with the flesh and blood of soldiers.
On the pavilion of a private house near the pier.
Yinilov of the Erythronia House is holding a banquet in his private house to welcome the returning captain of the fleet——Xue Chengsi.
Almost all the senior officials of Erythronia participated in this banquet.
On the light blue sloping roof, in the afternoon, there are bright yellow lights projected, shining on the green and black shiny tiles.
Bursts of music, laughter, and discussions floated from the high-rise windows of the pavilion.
Xue Chengsi was over fifty years old, and he was born as a spirit man of a noble family. He possessed super-grade military strength and had already reached the internal law. He was one of the few powerful spirit men.
But even as a super product, at his current age, he has already begun to decline.
Because of the exhaustion of qi and blood, and the lack of literary skills to keep in good health, his actual martial arts are at most only the level of foreign medicine.
At this time in the attic banquet hall.
He was dressed in a lavender robe, a rhino horn belt, and a black-brimmed wide-brimmed hat with a red background.
There is also a big red coral bead the size of a fingernail inlaid on the top of the hat.
What is particularly eye-catching is that he has a big belly that looks like a pregnancy, and he wobbles when he walks, with a rather honest and honest temperament.
"In today's world, I originally thought that there would be no place to compare with my great spirit. I never thought that this time I went out, but I learned a lot."
"Master Xue, do you feel something in your heart? Have you seen a stronger force?" Fu Yinilov picked up the wine and took a sip.
"Well, there are many small countries in Western Italy. Although the land is small and the people are few, they are courageous. This time, when I was waiting to destroy the twelfth country, I encountered a group of stubbornly resisting natives.
Our army besieged them for more than three months, and finally resisted until the last person in the city died, and no one surrendered. "Xue Chengsi exclaimed.
"If my great spirit can also have such a heroic army, it will greatly reduce the casualties of the army."
"Maybe it's because they share a common belief? It's not that we have too many sects." Zhang Rongfang, who was on the side, was dressed in a brocade robe and said with a smile.
As one of the three highest-ranking officials in Zaitong Port, he naturally also came to the banquet.
"It's true, my great spirit is that there are too many sects and too many sects, the beliefs cannot be unified, and each is fighting." Xue Chengsi nodded in agreement with this statement.
He looked at Zhang Rongfang, and he had heard of this contemporary Daoist.
After all, since this person came to Erythrina, there has been quite a lot of commotion.
Although he seems to be passive every time, he is the ultimate beneficiary in the end.
No one is a fool to see the implications.
In Zaitong, about 60% of the merchant fleet now gets 10% of the profit, which is handed over to the guardian yamen for missionary expenses.
The Shoujiao Yamen took advantage of Daling's religious policies to reasonably avoid part of the tax for these fleets.
This is legal in Daling.
Officials, officials, monks, Taoists, doctors, craftsmen, craftsmen, prostitutes, Confucianists, and beggars.
This is not arbitrarily divided.
Monks and Taoists really have various tax reductions and exemptions.
As long as some of the ship's goods are anchored, and Zhang Rongfang's guarding the yamen finds a name for it, he can get at least an extra 20% of the profit.
In this way, 10% will be given to Zhang Shoujiao, which will also make a lot of money.
Wanghai Temple also thought about accepting this way before, but before it had time to intervene, it was gone.
Today, no one in the entire Erythrosis can compete with the Shoujiao Yamen in this respect.
Zhang Rongfang will also distribute a large amount of profit resources to Nijiao and Qianshimen.
In this world, when practicing martial arts, a lot of wealth needs to be consumed.
Money is power.
This is not empty talk in Daling.
After receiving a lot of financial support from Zhang Rongfang, Nijiao's support for him has once again increased, and coupled with the last attack to kill Kongxiang.
Let its reputation reach its peak for a while.
Zhang Rongfang is now the veritable No. 1 rebel.
