Rise From the Humble

The sun has risen high, there is not a cloud in the sky, and there is not a gust of wind on the ground. The branches and leaves of the trees are hanging lazily. Only the cicada on the branch is experiencing vigorous activity, and it screams with all its strength.

The dog in Taicang was also lying in the shade of the tree, its tongue hanging out, looking listlessly at a group of people who broke into Taicang. After barking a few times, it stopped barking.

Zhu Ping'an and the people from Qintianjian and Dongchang had just arrived in Taicang. Mr. Zhang from Taicang's warehouse manager and others came up to greet him, and people from the Ministry of Accounts and the Ministry of Works came over there.

Before Zhu Pingan could react, only the people from Dongchang were left around him.

Zhang Siming from the Qintian Prison led the two five-face supervisors, and Zhang Guanku from Taicang led everyone in Taicang. They all hurried forward with their hands raised.

What makes Zhu Ping'an a little strange is that too many people came. A lot of people from the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Works came, unexpectedly. More than ten adults came from the Ministry of Household Affairs, and Mr. Sun Yingkui from the Ministry of Household Affairs came. All the veteran officials are here, including a Yuanwailang, a doctor, three heads of the household department, and a number of caretakers and clerks.

More people came from the Ministry of Works, led by Yan Shifan, the right minister of the Ministry of Works. There were about seven or eight more people from the Ministry of Industry, such as Yuanwailang, Langzhong, and principals, than those from the Ministry of Household Affairs.

In addition to the officials, there are also a larger number of servants, using three big oxen to pull a special material cart with a special iron warehouse door. From the ruts that are more than an inch deep, you can tell how heavy the Bintiekumen is.

"Master Yan, please."

"Mr. Sun, please."

People from the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Industry came together. Although the Ministry of Household Affairs wrote that Sun Yingkui had a higher official rank than Yan Shifan, in this feudal society that emphasized hierarchy, Yan Shifan and Sun Yingkui walked side by side, chatting and laughing. When entering, Sun Yingkui gave way and signaled to Yan Shifan to go ahead. Yan Shifan smiled and signaled to Sun Yingkui to go ahead. After some humility, the two of them entered the Taicang gate hand in hand with a smile.

As soon as the two of them entered the door, the Qintian Supervisor and Taicang officials came to greet them, and they all crowded around to salute and exchange greetings.

Zhu Ping'an did not join in the fun, but bowed his hands to Sun Yingkui, Yan Shifan and other superior officials outside.

Talents from the Ministry of Household Affairs and Industry arrived here not long ago. Later, Takumi, a colleague of Jinyiwei, also came with several Jinyiwei. Then came several censors from the Metropolitan Procuratorate, two directors from the Ministry of Rites, and several people from Honglu Temple. an official.

Later, more officials arrived one after another.

For a time, the Taicang Bank was almost overcrowded. People from Taicang moved batches of chairs and placed them in an open space not far from the Taicang Bank for the officials who came to sit and watch the ceremony.

Seeing so many officials coming, and then looking at the officials in Taicang, Zhu Pingan always felt that there was an unexplainable sense of conspiracy.

However, no matter how many people come, it will not affect the amount of gold and silver in the Taicang Bank. You can't have too many people coming, so the shortfall in your treasury will be made up, right? !

Zhu Ping'an couldn't understand, so he simply stopped thinking about it. As long as you insist on Qingshan and don't let go, you don't care about the east, west, north, and south winds, or what conspiracies he has, as long as you do what you should do.

Under the spotlight, the ceremony to replace the door of Taicang Bank began.

First, Zhang Siming of Qin Tianjian, together with two five-figure supervisors, decided the address of the house in a serious manner.

In fact, it's just a process. The original door address was decided by the superior Qin Tianjian. If they changed the door address, wouldn't it be a slap in the Qin Tianjian's own face? So Zhang Siming and the other three were Luo Pan. After murmuring over and over again, we finally settled on the original address.

"This is the seat of the gluttonous Pixiu. The gluttonous glutton can swallow wind evil spirits. There are no taboos in Ankumen here. Pixiu governs wealth and attracts wealth from all directions without losing any money. It is a unique geomantic treasure place. Ankumen can be found here. Bao Taicang will be blessed for thousands of years." After Zhang Siming ordered Kanyu to locate the location, he made a conclusion with a profound look on his face.

Then officials from the Ministry of Rites and Honglu Temple cooperated with Qin Tianjian to set up an incense table in the open space in front of the door, put tributes on them, lit incense and candles to offer sacrifices, and prayed to the gods to protect Taicang.

Then the two five senses supervisors from the Qin Tian Prison burned the talismans and seals, sprinkled the black dog's blood, and performed another ritual.

After this, ground can be broken.

Two craftsmen from the Ministry of Works came and played a door line with ink thread. Then, at the request of the officials from the Qintian Prison, Sun Yingkui from the Ministry of Household Affairs and Yan Shifan, the right minister of the Ministry of Works, dug the first shovel of soil and the rest. Under the command of the Qintian Supervisor officials, the officers dug two deep pits at both ends of the gate site. The stone carvings of Qinglong, White Tiger, Suzaku and Xuanwu brought by the Ministry of Works were buried in the deep pits according to their directions, and they were protected by mythical beasts. Guarding the Taicang Bank.

After burying the mythical beast, gold and silver coins were buried under the threshold.

Then, after all the officials present performed three bows and nine kowtows, Zhang Siming of Qintian Supervisor took off the seal of the old door of Taicang Bank.

Set off firecrackers, put up red couplets, and hang door banners.

The craftsman officer of the Ministry of Industry directed tens of meters of officers to dismantle the old door and install the new door under the simple lifting wooden frame.

When the iron gate of Taicang Bank was installed, the gate of Baiyun Temple also welcomed a group of uninvited guests.

Hey, another group of pilgrims came and brought a lot of things. That's good, that's good.

The smile on the face of the welcoming monk at the door only bloomed for a second, and then suddenly withered, and his face turned into mourning.

The welcoming monk at the door discovered that these uninvited guests were still strangers and had no quality at all. When he got to the door, he started smashing it. First, he pulled out the sign "Zhu Pingan and Dogs Are Not Allowed" standing at the door, put it away without saying anything, and then started to smash the door.

The door was replaced just before the ceremony, and in the blink of an eye, all that was left was the door frame.

Crazy

They didn't even spare the door frame. Rotten eggs, rotten vegetable leaves, rotten fruits, etc. flew over with crackling noises.

After smashing the rotten eggs and vegetable leaves, another person dipped a mop in ink and painted on the wall: "Buddha is born from the heart, there is a Buddha in the heart, everything you see is a Buddha; there is cow dung in the heart, everything you see turns into cow dung" "A line of characters

After ravaging the gate, this group of criminals began to break into the temple. The two welcoming monks were so frightened that they quickly stopped them, fearing that they would destroy the temple again. Fortunately, these unscrupulous guests were inside the temple. There was no smashing, no offense to the believers in the temple, and he went straight to the Mahavira Hall with great purpose.

Crackling, a bunch of graffiti.

When the temple guardian monks from the temple arrived, they only saw a group of people walking away, and a graffiti with flying dragons and phoenixes on the door of the main hall:

The niche dragon goes to the east end, and the sun fades to the west.

Jingwen is not here now, and the gravel has fallen into the quicksand.

"What does this mean? Who are they? They are fighting in broad daylight under the bright sky."

"Yeah, what does this poem mean?"

The monks and believers who came after hearing the news looked at the graffiti on the main hall and were puzzled.

The belated abbot of Baiyun Temple looked at it for a moment, shook his head and sighed, "This is cryptic poetry."

Hesi Gou (dog) died.

When a monk told the answer to the riddle, the monks were furious. They immediately thought of the sign "Zhu Ping'an and dogs are not allowed", and combined with what the group said when they left, they were disrespectful to their young master and made their young lady unhappy. In other words, there is no doubt that the instigator of today is Zhu Pingan.

"Li Yushi from the Metropolitan Procuratorate is a good friend of our temple. Li Yushi will definitely make the decision for our temple. We can't let things go like this today."

The deacons of Baiyun Temple were filled with indignation.
