In the Heavens

As the largest force in martial arts, the Five Sacred Sacred Alliance is a weathervane in the arena. At this juncture, the signal sent by refusing to accept gifts from various companies on the list could not be more obvious.

They don't even eat the meat delivered to their door. Anyone with a little experience in the world knows that something big is going to happen next.

...

Mount Shaoshi

As one of the protagonists of this turmoil, Shaolin Temple has not been able to stand alone. The most direct impact is that the atmosphere on the mountain has changed, and many monks have begun to talk about money in private.

At first he thought it was Jiang Hu Bai Xiaosheng who was slandering him, but Fang Zheng even took an inventory of his family. As a result, he didn't know until he checked, and he, the abbot, was shocked when he checked.

Compared with the real family property of Shaolin Temple, those listed on the list can only be regarded as insignificant. If all of them were exposed, they would probably be at the top of the list.

It has to be said that "Jianghu Baixiaosheng" still has professional ethics. The list of rich people is not only based on total income, but also emphasizes disposable wealth.

Therefore, the Ming court with the highest annual income had to be ranked below the eight figures if they wanted to be on the list. After all, they had been losing money for decades, and they were the number one "loser" in the world.

Although Shaolin Temple has a lot of industries, the huge wealth obtained has not all entered the temple, but has been mysteriously disappearing in various links.

There were moths inside, Fangzheng was not surprised. As a big faction that has been passed down for thousands of years, how could it lack a dark side?

It was just the appetite of the moth, which still surprised him. It is clearly a shrunken version of the Ming Dynasty, and it has entered a rotten stage from top to bottom.

No problem has been exposed, that's because Shaolin Temple is constantly expanding, and new sources of income are constantly being injected.

Fangzheng is very aware of the dangers of continuous unrestrained expansion. The current rivers and lakes have entered the era of giant monopoly, and if it continues to expand, it will inevitably break out with big forces.

This incident on the rich list is a wake-up call. Fortunately, the Kong family was born and took away the number one title. Otherwise, Shaolin Temple would be really dangerous.

Now not only Shaolin is in trouble, but the entire Buddhist sect is facing difficulties. The biggest problem is that in the top 20 of the rich list, there are actually four temples.

Apart from the aristocratic families, the Buddhist sects are the most on the list, more than the noble clans. Daomen, as a competitor, can't see the shadow.

Fangzheng has enough reasons to suspect that the people who made this list are closely related to the Taoist sect, otherwise there is no need to take such care of them.

Otherwise, if other poor ghosts can't get on the path, throwing Wudang up to make up the numbers, there will always be no problem, right?

Sitting in the land of fish and rice in Huguang, and being the leader of the righteous way in the south, Fang Zheng didn't believe that the Wudang faction didn't have tens of millions of net worth.

"Junior Brother Fang Sheng, collect information as soon as possible to complete the follow-up list, and throw it out in the name of Jianghu Bai Xiaosheng.

It is necessary to drag all the forces into the water, especially the Taoist sect, and they cannot continue to watch the excitement. "

Internal troubles will not move for a while, Fangzheng can only deal with external troubles first. Jianghu Bai Xiaosheng is too hostile to Shaolin, and now he has to get rid of it.

After hesitating for a while, Fang Sheng said awkwardly: "Senior brother, it is easy to drag all the forces into the water, but it is difficult to attack the Taoist sect.

Jiang Hu Bai Xiaosheng's lists made several times are convincing, the key is that he has produced real things.

Among the Taoist sects, the ones with more industries are Wudang Sect and Longhushan. Most of the other channels are not doing well.

Including the prosperous Huashan faction, there is not much land in the sect. Although there are many other industries, most of them are not on the table, and the main income is still protection fees.

If they are forced to be listed on the list, it is easy to be suspected of being fake, and if they do not do it, they will get burned. "

After several twists and turns, "Jianghu Baixiaosheng" has almost become a public enemy at the same time as it has become a household name.

From Fang Sheng's point of view, pretending to be "Bai Xiaosheng in Jianghu" at this time is clearly playing with fire. In case someone finds out, even if Shaolin Temple jumps into the Yellow River, it will not be cleaned up.

Fangzheng shook his head: "I can't take care of that much anymore, if this Jianghu Baixiaosheng continues to toss about, my thousand-year reputation of Buddhism will be wiped out.

Even if it is suspected of being fake, all parties have to be pulled down. If the Huashan faction doesn't have enough industries, then go to the Five Sacred Sacred Alliance.

Doesn't the Songshan School like to do private salt business? Write it down together. The world's largest private salt dealer is enough to make them proud.

But pay attention to the operation, don't make people feel too deliberate. Otherwise, it would be easy to suspect me, Shaolin. Right now we cannot turn against the Five Sacred Sword Sect. "

In the thousands of years of Shaolin Temple, it is rare to be so cowardly. Even when Zhang Sanfeng was alive back then, they never treated Wudang badly.

But not now, the Wuyue Sword Sect is not the newborn Wudang. If they really did it, even without Li Mu's innate master, they would not be sure of winning now.

It's nothing more than bragging to the outside world to deceive people, but when the family closes their doors, they still have to maintain enough rationality.

...

"Daoist, please be merciful and save my young master!"

While speaking, the aged housekeeper knelt down in front of Taoist Tianmen. If it wasn't for Tianmen's quick flash, he would have been saved from his thigh.

Looking at Kong Defu who was drinking tea calmly, the Taoist of Tianmen asked dissatisfiedly, "What does Donor Kong mean?"

Just after returning the Kong family's ceremony, Kong Defu, the younger brother of Yan Shenggong, came to the door.

In any case, the face of the Kong family in Shandong is still very useful, and the core members come to the door, and Tianmen is not easy to see.

It's just that the scene in front of him was beyond his expectation. Before Kong Defu said anything, an old man who looked like a butler knelt down first.

Facing Tianmen's questioning, Kong Defu immediately got up and kicked the old man, and cursed angrily: "Go away, old thing, don't pollute the place!"

"Daozhang, I'm really sorry. This is the housekeeper of the house of the seventeenth cousin. Two days ago, the house of the cousin was attacked by thieves. They not only killed several people in a row, but also hijacked the only son of the cousin.

The thief demanded a ransom of 100,000 taels, and asked us to send it to Mengshan Thirteen Villages within ten days, otherwise we would tear up the ticket.

Hearing about this, my cousin fainted on the spot, and I am also a frail scholar, I really don't know how to negotiate with the thieves, so I can only ask the Taoist priest to help me. "

Before the Taoist priest of Tianmen could reply, Kong Defu ordered to his servant: "Here comes someone, open the box."

As the small box was opened, the gleaming golden light entered everyone's eyes.

"This is a meeting gift of five hundred taels of gold, please accept it with a smile. After the matter is completed, I will thank you again, and I will not let the Taoist priest give me the favor..."

Before Kong Defu could finish speaking, the Taoist priest of Tianmen interrupted: "The benefactor should take the things back. I will not interfere with the Kong family's affairs."

After speaking, he turned around and left, leaving Kong Defu behind. Obviously, Tianmen was very dissatisfied with the Kong family's attitude.

It's five hundred taels of gold, which is indeed a big deal, but it also depends on when.

In the past, for the sake of Confucius, everyone would help if they could.

But the situation is different now, the Kong family, the richest man in the world, has become the target of public criticism. When asking for help at this time, you have to show a begging attitude.

If he just came up and threw money, would he lose face as a Taoist of Tianmen?

What's more, there is also an order of the leader of the Five Sacred Mountains. It is better to offend the Kong family than to offend the boss.

Of course, the most important thing is not hitting enough. If two or three more zeros are added later, Tianmen will definitely have to reconsider.

According to Tianmen's Jianghu experience, robbery and kidnapping are just the beginning, and then the Kong family must learn to get used to it, because it will become a norm.

It wasn't just the Five Sacred Sword Sect who refused to accept the Kong family's protection fee. According to Tianmen's knowledge, after the Mount Tai sect refunded the money, all the decent sects in Shandong have refunded their money one after another.

Perhaps in the eyes of the Kong family, this is the various factions wanting to take advantage of the fire and make a big blow.

But as a party involved, Tianmen is very clear. If the Kong family refused to bleed heavily this time, they would definitely not be able to escape the current catastrophe.

Known as the largest family in the world, in fact, compared with several other hard-core families, the Kong family is a parallel importer.

In addition to having a lot of money, when it comes to strength, they can't even compare with ordinary middle-class families. The main reason is that I am used to lying down, and I have no sense of crisis at all.

They were able to remain unscathed in the great turmoil of the change of dynasty, so how could they pay attention to the small waves in front of them?

Looking at the performance of Kong Defu, the second master of the Confucian family, he was not aware of the danger at all, and naively thought that relying on the signboard of the sage family could preserve their glory and wealth.

But they forgot that the emperor, the good and the evil, and the middle and small aristocratic families are all staring at them and drooling.

It's not easy to make a move on the righteous way, isn't there still a demon sect?

This kind of thing has always been the specialty of the demon cultists. Now everyone just needs to provide convenience to the members of the Demon Cult and help them create opportunities to commit crimes.

After the people from the Devil's Cult have finished robbing, everyone will come out to deal with the aftermath. If necessary, they can even help make up for it.

Anyway, no matter how cleanly the demons snatch it, land, salt fields, tea estates...these real estates can't escape.

Tianmen is sure that the Five Sacred Sword Sect will be indispensable in the end, even if he just divides up the leftovers, it is much better than the small profit in front of him.
