Although she felt extremely depressed, Hui Jue felt a little headache when she thought of Chu Mo's threatening words. She had to hold back the impulse in her heart and said to the hosts:

"You are all members of the Chang'an Buddhist Council. I came here today to ask you to help me come up with ideas. Now if you don't say a word, what do you mean?"

There was silence in the room. After a long time, an old monk with the most wrinkles on his face said: "Amitabha, Junior Brother Huijue, it's not that we don't want to make suggestions. It's really a big matter and involves a lot of money. So do we. There’s nothing I can do.”

After hearing Huiming's words, Hui Jue felt his chest churn, and there was a faint smell of blood in his throat.

Resisting the urge to vomit blood, Hui Jue looked around at everyone for a while, and then said angrily: "When we discussed killing the female Taoist thief before, what did you each say?"

"At that time, they said that we Buddhists are one family, and we should share blessings and hardships. But what about now? Look at each of you. When something happens, you just say nothing. Is it possible? This is my Daxing What happened to the Zenji family?"

Huizhen, who was sitting diagonally across from him, saw Hui Jue getting anxious and immediately sneered and said, "Hui Jue, that's not what you said. It was you who strongly advocated sneak attack on others while they were exhausted in a duel."

"If something goes wrong now, you naturally have to solve it yourself. Is it possible that those of us who take orders from you have to wipe your butt for you?"

"Besides, I only need 5000 million taels. If this money were exchanged for any of our other temples, it might be a huge burden, but your Daxingshan temple family has a great cause and has been in charge of Chang'an Buddhism for these years. If you If you can’t even come up with this money, then how can we get along with ourselves if you just make a living?”

As soon as Huizhen's words came out, he immediately got the approval of several other hosts.

"That's right, Hui Jue. Not to mention other things, the incense money given by the royal family and those aristocratic families every year is much more than us."

"Yes, Junior Brother Huijue, if you are reluctant to part with money, didn't I say that you can exchange it for other items?"

The ones who spoke were all those who were relatively close to Hui Zhen on weekdays. Hui Jue had long known that these people were not well-intentioned and had been on guard against them.

But he didn't want him to catch something like this this time.

But today, for some reason, a few people close to him didn't even speak up to defend him.

Thinking that he had refuted his master's face because of the hatred in his heart, Hui Jue couldn't help but his eyelids jumped. Now he also vaguely understood why these people didn't speak for him.

Thinking of this, Hui Jue took a deep breath and said: "In that case, please go back. I have decided that I, Daxingshan Temple, will represent Chang'an Buddhism this time, and I will fight that Chu Mo child until death."

After hearing Hui Jue's words, instead of being happy, everyone began to feel uneasy.

"Junior Brother Huijue, please don't do anything stupid. Isn't it just 5000 million taels of silver? Then you will hold more rituals every year and persuade more good men and women to come and donate incense money. This is not all. Yet."

"Yes, Senior Brother Huijue, you must not ruin our foundation in Chang'an just because of your impulse."

Everyone began to exhort him, but no one said anything about wanting to help him share the compensation.

Hui Jue finally understood at this time that he had been deliberately targeted. These people were just talking about it now, and he still had to bear the trouble himself.

Being able to sit in this position, Hui Jue was naturally not as ignorant as he seemed on the surface. With a sigh, Hui Jue saluted everyone:

"It's getting late today, and I'm a little tired. You guys should go back first. I want to think about it carefully."

With that said, he drove people out without waiting for anyone to react.

After everyone left, Hui Jue's eyes flashed with determination, and then she strode towards the Cangjin Pavilion.

At this time, Chu Mo had already talked with Li Shimin about how to deceive Buddhism.

Suddenly, Li Shimin looked directly at Chu Mo and asked, "The frost disaster was caused by you, right?"

Chu Mo was still immersed in his own sexual pleasure, when Li Shimin suddenly said something like this, and he subconsciously asked: "What did you say?"

Seeing Chu Mo's reaction, Li Shimin's doubts were reduced by most, but he still asked tentatively:

"Didn't you send people to exchange large quantities of firewood before? Now there is news about the frost disaster. Do you dare to say that this matter has nothing to do with you?"

"What to exchange for firewood? What kind of frost disaster? Why can't I understand what you said?"

Chu Mo had already realized that Li Shimin was trying to trick him, and of course he didn't dare to admit it.

Just kidding, my plan is about to succeed, but now that you know about it, wouldn’t it be a failure?

Seeing Chu Mo come back to his senses, Li Shimin knew that he couldn't ask anything, so he could only sigh and said:

"Chu Mo, if you really have frost disaster information, you must tell me as soon as possible. You must know that this is related to the safety of the people of the entire Tang Dynasty, and you cannot be careless."

Chu Mo nodded perfunctorily: "Don't worry about this. Since there are such rumors outside, those people under me must be prepared. Even if there is a disaster, the damage caused to me will definitely be minimal." of."

When Li Shimin saw that Chu Mo only cared about himself and did not mention the people's livelihood issues at all, his face immediately darkened and he was about to reprimand him.

But when he heard a dry cough coming from the side, he turned around and saw Li Yuan looking at him with an idiot-killing look.

Li Shimin's heart suddenly tightened. Yes, Chu Mo is not a good person now. He is still thinking about cooperating with the other party and taking advantage of the opportunity. If he offends him at this time, let alone this cooperation. , whether we can drive him out of Chang'an will have to be reconsidered.

Thinking of this, Li Shimin sighed and said: "In this case, I can only pray to God to stop talking about disasters."

Chu Mo on the side laughed, stood up, patted Li Shimin on the shoulder and said: "Old Li, I'm not telling you, you have committed too many sins and are unwilling to punish yourself, so..."

Looking at Li Shimin's bloodshot eyes, he saw that the other party had already pinched his fingers so hard that his fists were faintly white.

Chu Mo knew that the other party's patience had reached its limit, so he did not intend to use any more words to provoke him.

After saying hello to Li Yuan, he took Yang Hongqian and left.

As soon as Chu Mo left, Li Yuan snorted dissatisfiedly at Li Shimin: "Sir, you clenched your fist so tightly, do you want to hit me?"
