Chapter 126: Conditions for Peace
Only then did Zhao Jin pay attention to the two people following Monk Ru Hui. These two monks were very young, one or two years older than him, and they both looked timid. As for the one following Li Shuban, Zhao Jin saw
The face looked familiar, he must be a clerk from the torture chamber or something like that.
After the arrangements were made, Zhao Jin and the others followed them with weapons in hand. Li Shuban was chatting and laughing along the way. Zhao Jin and Chen Huang always abided by the rules of juniors and were very polite. Monk Ruhui also walked quietly aside.
This is Zhao Jin's first time here at Bone Zhang. Officials and gentry usually go to Yunshan Tower. Most of the people who come and go at Gu Gu Zhang are people with some wealth but no status, such as white servants in the yamen.
When they came over, many people greeted Shuban Li respectfully and politely. In front of these people, Shuban Li was very impressive.
As soon as you enter the store, you can smell the rich and fresh aroma. There is a porcelain basin on each table, filled with white soup and pork ribs. Li Shuban must be a regular customer. The shopkeeper nodded and bowed to greet everyone, and led everyone in.
There is a single courtyard at the back.
The room in the single courtyard was not big, and it could only accommodate two round tables. Before entering the courtyard, Zhao Jin said it would be convenient, and took Chen Huang out and asked Wang Zhaojing to lead the others in.
Zhao Jin and Chen Huang did not go to the convenience store, but walked through the house back and forth. They did not see anything unusual, so they entered the courtyard with confidence.
This private courtyard is a higher-grade private dining room. The courtyard is very clean, but there are two wooden boxes placed in front of the door. It doesn't look like something old in this courtyard.
After entering the room, Zhao Jin saw that his friends had been arranged at the same table. Although they had known each other for a long time, this was the first time for them to have dinner together in a restaurant. Everyone was very excited. Zhao Jin came over with a smile, and everyone
Just as he was about to speak, he heard Zhao Jin whisper: "Take the time, count a hundred, then go out and have a look. If there is nothing abnormal, come back, and then continue like this."
Everyone was stunned for a moment, then came to their senses and nodded solemnly.
Li Shuban only invited Zhao Jin and Chen Huang to go to the banquet over there, but Zhao Jin dragged Wang Zhaojing over.
Not only is his identity sufficient, Wang Zhaojing's meticulous thinking can also help.
Compared with Zhao Jin and the other three sitting here, only Monk Ruhui sat down at the monk's side, while the other two stood in the corner. Although the clerk Li Shuban was sitting, he kept serving tea.
Water, serve diligently.
"The Pork Ribs in Zhangbai Soup is not well-known, but it tastes very good and uses enough ingredients. I will miss it if I don't eat it for a few days." Li Shuban said with a smile.
Zhao Jin looked at Monk Ruhui and wondered, could it be that this monk was just not abiding by the precepts and eating wine and meat?
As he watched, Monk Ruhui put down the tea cup in his hand and said gently: "Mr. Zhao, there are many monks and laymen in Yunshan Temple, and the family has a big business. It is inevitable that there will be one or two lawless people. These people are punished by Mr. Zhao for their misdeeds. They deserve it. This temple
No resentment at all.”
Zhao Jin sneered and said, "If I had been harmed by those desperadoes a few days ago, who would care if my family had any grievances? Maybe some people would say that I deserved it."
Li Shubanyu stood up with a smile and said, "You guys chat first, I'll go see what good wine is on the cabinet. If not, I'll ask Lao Zhang to buy some elsewhere."
As soon as he left, he took the document and followed him knowingly. Only Zhao Jinfang and Monk Ruhui of Yunshan Temple were left in the room.
Monk Ruhui had a smile on his face, but his eyes were full of surprise. Zhao Jin was tall, but his face showed that he was a teenager, but this teenage boy had the calmness and attitude of an adult.
I wasn't led by him at all.
"Master Zhao, it is better to resolve enemies than to end them. In the past, Yunshan Temple may have had many misunderstandings with you, but from today onwards these misunderstandings have been resolved. There is absolutely no resentment in this temple." Monk Ruhui continued with a smile.
Zhao Jin could understand this. The two sides were enemies in the past, but they have reconciled from today on. Thinking of this, Zhao Jin couldn't help but laugh out loud, waved his hands and said, "You have tried to trick Xiaolan several times, and you even sent people to abduct him."
, I killed six of you that time, and then you first caused trouble in the Yamen, and a few days ago you set up a bureau in the south of the city, inviting some man-eating leopard to deal with me, and then I killed Yu Jing, that Yan Heimeian.
You also escaped from the city. With so many lives lost and such a blood feud, you dare to talk about reconciliation, I can’t believe it.”
Monk Ruhui shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Master Zhao, there are indeed a few senior brothers in this temple who don't want to give up. They did these things, but that was the day before yesterday. Yesterday, Yunshanxing was set on fire, and there were two lower courtyards outside the city.
Someone set me on fire, and someone shot an arrow into the mountain gate. The whole temple is in a state of panic and has no intention of fighting with you, Mr. Zhao, so I sent a poor monk here to negotiate a settlement."
Zhao Jin and others exchanged glances. They did not expect that there would be so many attacks on Yunshan Temple in one day. Zhao Jin could also guess that these things were related to Wenxiang Sect and Mu Shulan's second uncle, but the reconciliation was still unclear.
Not in vain, he continued to say directly: "I didn't set the fire, and I didn't shoot the arrows. What's the use of talking to me about these things?"
Monk Ruhui was stunned, shook his head and said: "The people who did these things spread the word that if Mr. Zhao agrees to reconcile, they will stop causing trouble to Yunshan Temple. Otherwise, how can the poor monk come back to see Mr. Zhao?"
Zhao Jin and others were shocked. Chen Huang and Wang Zhaojing looked at Zhao Jin in astonishment. They did not expect that things would develop like this.
After being stunned for a moment, Zhao Jin considered all the relevant factors. He and his father took care of the funeral arrangements for the Mu family and cleared the mess. In a sense, it also cut off the possibility of the government tracing the Wenxiang Sect, and then
After taking in Mu Shulan, the city searched for the girl after she was abducted. Several teenagers acted righteously and rescued the girl. The following series of events seemed unrelated, but upon closer inspection, they were all related to the rescue.
For example, the battle between Chengnan and the Desperate Swordsman, thinking about it now, was nothing more than Yunshan Temple's revenge for that rescue.
Not only these, but it can even be traced back very far. The Zhao family once took in the helpless Mr. and his daughter. Zhao Jin even inexplicably thought of the violent death of his former executioner.
Speaking of these disputes, the Wenxiang Sect owes a lot of favors to the Zhao family. However, if the Wenxiang Sect pays directly, it will not be a benefit to the Zhao family, but will cause trouble. This time, it can be said that I borrowed flowers to offer to the Buddha and borrowed the help of Yunshan Temple.
Repay the Zhao family.
Seeing Zhao Jin deep in thought and silence, Monk Ru Hui shook his head and raised his hand to make a gesture. With this movement, Chen Huang put his hand on the handle of the knife. Ru Hui noticed this movement and smiled at Chen Huang.
, which made Chen Huang a little embarrassed.
The two monks standing in the corner saw this gesture, bowed in agreement, and left the room together. Soon they came back, and the two of them struggled to carry a box, which was placed in the private courtyard.
Two boxes were moved into the house, and the two monks withdrew. Monk Ruhui stood up from his seat and opened the two boxes.
As soon as the lid was opened, the room suddenly became much brighter. At this moment, everyone in the room stopped breathing and stared at the box.
The box reflected golden and silver light, and the scattered gold ingots were neatly placed on the silver ingots, which looked really dazzling.
"Mr. Zhao, this is the sincerity of Yunshan Temple. One thousand taels of silver and one hundred and fifty taels of gold. There were indeed things that our temple did wrong in the past. These are our apologies and sincerity."
The price ratio of gold and silver was 1:4 for the official price and 1:7 for the market price. In other words, Yunshan Temple suddenly took out more than 2,000 taels of silver as compensation, which was indeed an incredible amount of money.
Everyone at the two tables heard what Monk Ruhui said and knew that the huge sum of money was for them. Zhao Jin, Chen Huang and Wang Zhaojing were calm, while the breathing of others became heavy.
At such a young age, facing such a large amount of money, he was so calm. Monk Ruhui's eyes were filled with astonishment.
Zhao Jin just glanced at the box of gold and silver, leaned on the chair and said: "Even if we collect this money, Yunshan Temple can take it back at any time. This kind of reconciliation is just for coaxing the children, why bother talking about it here?
?”
Monk Ruhui put a smile on his face again, but this smile was more of a bitter smile. He said: "Master Zhao, if you give Master Zhao this money out of thin air, it is reasonable for Master Zhao to have doubts, but this time it is calculated."
Someone guarantees that even if this temple wants to regret it, it must think about the heretics who burn incense."
The "heretics who burn incense" presumably refer to the Wenxiang sect. Hearing what the other party said, Zhao Jin was relieved. After Mu Shulan's second uncle purged his dissidents, the Wenxiang sect regained stability in Xuzhou and showed it to Yunshan Temple.
They used strong tactics, and under such intimidation, Yunshan Temple did not dare to move arbitrarily after the reconciliation.
"I didn't expect that Zhao would become a condition for reconciliation between the two of you. Your temple is not making peace with me, but with those who burned incense." Zhao Jin said with a smile.
Hearing Zhao Jin call himself "Zhao", with his young face, he is really pretending to be mature. Monk Ruhui couldn't help but want to laugh, but when he heard Zhao Jin speak so thoroughly, he felt that he was indeed mature.
Monk Ruhui smiled and continued: "Everyone in this temple did not expect Mr. Zhao to be so brave. Those who shouted for revenge were also afraid. This time we will talk about peace together."
After hearing what Monk Ruhui said, the young people at the two tables were slightly commotion, with expressions of excitement and pride on their faces. Yunshan Temple was extremely famous both inside and outside Xuzhou. The Zhizhou Yamen may not be able to scare people, but Yunshan Temple was able to subdue them.
From all directions, but my eldest brother can actually intimidate Yunshan Temple, it is so majestic.
Moreover, the other party brought such a large amount of money over, and he had both face and dignity. Everyone's eyes were focused on Zhao Jin. Although they didn't say anything, everyone felt that Zhao Jin should agree.
