: The conference

If you don't burst out in silence, you will perish in silence.

Looking at Manager Lu's smirking face, Wang Tou was a little embarrassed. Although he was also a slave to the Lu family, he could never do the same as Manager Lu's people.

"Manager Lu, I don't think these sluts are valuable. Liu Tantou has sent our Lu family for more than ten years, so he is very diligent. Otherwise, I'll take him two sluts this time, they're all from the villagers." Wang Tou stood aside and said kindly.

Manager Lu smiled and raised his head and said, "Okay, looking at Wang Tou, we are not ruthless. Just follow Wang Tou and collect two pieces of skins as taxes." As he said that, Manager Lu reached out and took out the leopard skin with a corner on Liu Tan's shoulders.

He reached out and shook the skin, and carefully stroked it over, and found that it was indeed not damaged at all. He couldn't help but look overjoyed. He folded the skin and tucked it in a few seconds.

"Carbon, this skin is good. I will sell your favor again this time and I will only charge this skin to tax."

Liu Tantou was already angry. Except for this leopard skin, the other ten pieces of skin on him were all not very valuable skins. Even if they were all added together, they could not be one-tenth of the leopard skin. Manager Lu snatched the leopard skin, so what did he go to the county town to exchange for money?

He stepped forward and grabbed the leopard skin and begged, "Mr. Lu, this skin was exchanged for the order, it was not damaged at all. I want to buy the wedding items. If Mr. Lu wants to collect taxes, then I will give all the other skins to Mr. Lu."

Manager Lu pulled it a few times but didn't pull it off. He stretched out his legs and kicked Liu Tan's head aside, "Get out, don't look at what you do, you're really shameless. Liu Gouzi, Zhang Dagen, come and throw this kid away..."

Several servants rushed out of the hut, punched and kicked Liu Tantou, and beat him up. After a few people were beaten up, they threw them into the snow.

Wang Tou stepped forward and helped the charcoal head up. Seeing that his face was bruised and not even bleeding, he felt relieved. "Carbon Head, Mo Qiang is over, you can't beat Manager Lu."

Liu Tantou sat in the snow without saying a word.

Wang Tou took out about a hang of money from his body and handed it to him, "Oh, it's not the first day you've dealt with the Lu family. The more you twist, the more cruel they are."

Liu Tantou gritted his teeth tightly and still didn't say anything.

Wang Tou whispered: "I will teach you a way. Then you will say that when you were eating grain in Liaodong, General Li Benlei, who once knew the imperial court, was his old subordinate. If you sell the skin to Manager Lu for a little cheaper time, he will definitely be worried."

Liu Tantou said honestly, "I know General Li, but I was General Yang's subordinate back then. I heard that General Yang is now in Jianghan, following the current emperor's brother."

"Oh, you won't lie." Wang Tou said.

Seeing Liu Tantou nodding, Wang Tou walked towards Manager Lu with satisfaction.

Pulling Manager Lu aside, Wang Tou quietly said, "Manager Lu, I just learned something. When Liu Tantou conquered Liao, he was actually a soldier under the tent of General Li Benlei of the court. I heard that he was also acquainted with General Li's personal soldiers. You see, if he really got him to General Li, it would be a troublesome thing. Recently, the court is dealing with the powerful people in Hebei. Do you think you would give him some money and settle the matter?"

"Take it seriously?" When Manager Lu heard that Liu Tantou, who could not beat a single point of no reason, actually knew the Duke of the dynasty, General Li, and his expression changed. Finally, he nodded, took out twenty gold coins from the house a little reluctantly, and finally thought about it, and subtracted ten more.

"Tao Wang, you are familiar with him. These are ten gold coins, which is almost equivalent to forty or fifty cents. Although his skin is expensive, he is at most ten cents. He still has to be sold for this price by a person with a way. Even if the incident just now is a misunderstanding, the villagers in the village should not be able to do it." Manager Lu said with gritted teeth and heartbroken.

Wang Tou patted his chest, "Don't worry, Manager Lu, he knows General Li again, and he still lives in our land. In the future, he will bow his head and never see him. Can he still be so stiff? I will persuade him later, and if he scares him, he will probably be fine."

"Okay, Brother Xie, I'll go back and invite you to "" to have a good drink."

When Liu Tantou saw the ten gold coins handed over by Wang Tou, he still couldn't believe his eyes. Ten gold is equivalent to more than thirty stagnant coins. He had never seen so many oats in his life.

It took him a long time to come back to his senses and count five gold coins from it and handed them to Wang Tou, "Thank you, Brother Wang, if it weren't for you, this shamelessness would have been snatched by Manager Lu for nothing. He did not thank him, so he invited Brother Wang to drink."

Wang Tou pushed his hand away and said angrily, "What are you saying? Brother, helping you, it depends on your good character, not for your money. Take the money and go to the county town to buy it. I will go to a pampering wine on the day of marriage."

After repeated refusal, Liu Tantou stood up with great gratitude and left happily.

Wang Tou stood in the snow and looked at Liu Tan Tou's back as he walked away. Although he was not in the Lu family, he was alive. These days, the head of the Lu family had close contacts with other nearby aristocratic landlords and powerful people, and often gathered together to discuss secretly. These unusual situations, and now the court's repeated actions are aimed at the powerful families, which made Wang Tou feel that the big family that had been in Xinle for hundreds of years was no longer stable.

The recent actions of the Lu family made him feel a bit bad. The strong army of the court was not the only one who could change the world. A few days ago, he was in the city. When he was drinking with someone, he heard an official entourage sent by the court say that the court would sooner or later eliminate the powerful families in these places that did not obey the court's orders, and replace them with the old brothers who had fought with His Highness Chen in Liaodong to control the place.

Wang Tou didn't know any people from the court and the Liaodong Army, but he knew that Liu Tantou had fought in the third expedition in Liaodong back then. Although Liu Tantou was not a subordinate of King Chen, he heard that the veterans who had conquered Liao were highly valued and loved by the officials sent by the court. Now, the newly built baojia system in various places, the security chief and the village chief were no longer the powerful landlords of the local aristocratic families, but were selected by the veterans who had conquered Liao.

Youdao is a emperor and a minister. These upper-level kings don’t understand, but before the Lu family is about to collapse, they will show goodwill to Liu Tantou, who may be well-developed in the future and sell favors, but in the future it will be very beneficial.

Liu Tantou didn't know about this little thing, but he could get so many things. He was extremely excited along the way with the ten gold coins in his arms. He got ten gold coins for nothing, but he didn't care about these things. He asked him to go to the city to sell leopard skin, at most, it would be about ten cents. Now, ten gold coins, but he had to pull a few more pieces of cloth for Mei Niang and buy a few pieces of jewelry. He also had to buy some cloth for Aunt San and the others. Also, the children in the village had to bring some food to the city. Thinking about it, Liu Tantou kept walking faster and faster. In less than half a day, he had already arrived outside Xianyu City. Looking from a distance, the walls of Xianyu City were already in sight.

As he got closer to Xianyu City, Liu Tantou discovered that the ruined Xianyu City that he had passed several times before had been relocated had almost been restored. The high city walls, brand new Baotou, and the large banner of the Sui character singing in the wind on the top of the city. All of this made him feel like a dream.

Not far from the city gate, he had already felt the vitality of this county town. There were crowds coming and going everywhere in front of the city gate. There were old men driving cars, wives riding donkeys, hunters carrying hunting forks and carrying prey, and gentry literati dressed with flowers on their heads. From time to time, you could see court officials in green clothes and blue clothes, as well as military officers riding horses and teams of soldiers.

However, Liu Tantou was surprised to find that all of these people were walking on his right hand. In this way, although there were many people leaving the city and entering the city, they were not at all confused.

Seeing everyone consciously lined up to enter the city, Liu Tantou hurriedly walked to the back of the team entering the city. In front of him was an old man in his fifties and sixties, and a child about seven or eight years old was holding him.

When the father-in-law saw him, he smiled, "The younger generation is also here to watch the Wuli Conference? He is really a Buddhist who is kind and devotes himself to saving all living beings. Five years ago, the old man, I also attended the Wuli Conference of Master Huineng in Zhuojun City. Unexpectedly, five years have passed in the blink of an eye!"

Although Liu Tantou heard Aunt talk about this silly conference before coming, he was not very clear at all. This time he came mainly to buy items. He didn't know about this silly conference by a silly conference by a silly conference at all.

"Brother-in-law, I wonder which monk initiated this rosy conference?"

The father-in-law caressed his long beard, "I heard that this rosy conference is a grand event in Buddhism in recent years, and was initiated by all the famous Lingshan Temples in the world. I heard that this rosy conference will be held in a total of 18 cities in the Central Plains. Among them, our Gaoyang County is the first to be held. This time, I heard that a total of 10,000 monks gathered in Gaoyang. The abbot of Hengshan Tianlong Temple was Master Tansheng."

Liu Tantou was shocked when he heard that thousands of monks gathered in Gao Yang. He thought that this sloppy conference was just like a temple fair in an ordinary temple. However, he expected that there would be such a big scene and he was so shocked that he couldn't speak.

Although the number of ten thousand people is amazing, Liu Tantou believed it because as he had just lined up to enter the city, he had seen no less than a hundred monks entering the city. These monks could not line up when they entered the city. Several monks had already been waiting there at the city gate, one to welcome the other.
