Da Xi was so frightened that he seemed to be unable to think...

Where else in Jingzhou can there be a bronze Buddha?

There is only Zhaoxuan Temple in Kongtong Mountain!

But I don’t want to think about it, where is that place?

To be honest, burning the official office of Jingzhou Governor's Office may have less consequences than melting down the bronze Buddha of Zhaoxuan Temple...

Regardless of the important ministers of the three dynasties, your majesty's great-uncle, Wang Yuancheng of Rencheng, because the temple occupied too much space and had too many hidden entrances, so he just signed a memorial stating his interests. The emperor thought that he was disrespectful to the Buddha and punished him with nine beatings.

Nineteen mouths...

What's more, melting the golden body of Buddha?

Li Chengzhi is going to... break the news...

Um...no...

For such a major event, it is thought that Li Chengzhi was extremely secretive. There must be very few people who knew about it, otherwise the news would have spread a long time ago.

How did Congfu know?

Da Xi looked at Xi Kangsheng blankly.

Xi Kangsheng sighed, groped among the pile of scraps, and pulled out a yellow copper ingot: "This is one of the copper ingots that Li Chengzhi sent to Gaoping Town to buy iron, horses, and grain...

…”

Da Xi took it and looked at it carefully.

The copper ingot is very square, about half the size of a palm, less than two inches thick, and has burnt marks on several sides.

But it is this black with yellow color that shows that the copper is extremely pure.

He secretly praised it and turned it over subconsciously...

As a colorful light shines out, the entire room is dyed with a charming color.

"Bonus?"

Da Xi exclaimed, and then he trembled: Copper is expensive, real gold is even more expensive, one tael of real gold can be exchanged for two hundred taels of copper.

I would like to ask who is willing to mix gold into copper ingots?

Da Xi immediately thought of the gold powder on the surface of the golden Buddha statue... Ninety-nine percent of it was that Li Chengzhi had no time to separate and melt it when he was smelting the bronze statue, so he had to smelt it together.

And if this copper ingot is really accumulated and stored by the Li family for generations, how can it be so bright?

It’s already full of patina.

It’s obviously just been refined not long ago, no more than three months at most…

The answer was ready to come out, and Da Xi didn't know how to describe Li Chengzhi. He could only admire him: How brave he is!

But the strange thing is that even though my father believes in Buddhism, there is not much dissatisfaction on his face?

As if he had guessed what Da Xi was thinking, Xi Kangsheng snorted coldly: "If Zhaoxuan Temple had not colluded with Hu Shichang and other officials and monks to plunder and exploit people in the name of Buddha's apostle, why would the monks and the people be forced to live in dire straits and have to

Rise up?

What is the difference between these monks and thieves and Liu Huiwang and other evil people who gathered people to rebel? Even if the gods and Buddhas in heaven know the truth, they will definitely be punished quickly, so as to rectify the name of the Buddha and clear the eyes and ears...

And the statues made by such Xiaoxiao have also become an accomplice in bewitching believers and exploiting monks and people? Even if Li Chengzhi doesn’t melt, I will melt...

Moreover, Li Chengzhi did not take any ink, and all the copper he melted was used to suppress thieves. He took it from the people and used it for the people. It also relieved the danger of the imperial court, so why should he be guilty?"

Da Xi remained silent.

According to what Cong's father said, Li Chengzhi naturally has merit and no fault, but he must first ensure that everyone can be as sensible as you are?

Regardless of what the emperor is like, 90% of the monks, officials and believers in Zhaoxuan Temple will not think this way, and will only scold Li Chengzhi for being rebellious and disrespectful of gods and Buddhas.

In the future, I am afraid that all the monks in the world will not let Li Chengzhi go...

"It's really unfounded!"

Xi Kangsheng sneered, "Even you can think of it, let alone Li Chengzhi, how could he not be prepared for this day? Even if the monk wants to cause trouble for him, he must first catch his mistakes...

It was only when I saw this copper ingot yesterday that I suspected that it was in Zhaoxuan Temple. I was frightened and sent a few craftsmen up the mountain to investigate. What do you think?

As he said that, Xi Kangsheng actually laughed: "It's also strange. I don't know what method Li Chengzhi used to smelt the bronze Buddha and then cast it into iron and put it on top... What's weird is that it's the same as the previous ones."

No two, no flaws?"

Generally the same, no flaws?

Da Xi was stunned: "How is that possible?"

This is not like carving it out of wood or making it out of clay. If it doesn’t take shape at one time, it can be rectified and repaired.

This is cast in latte juice...

"So, even I am surprised: in terms of extraordinary skills and extensive coverage, if Li Chengzhi is recognized as the second, I am afraid that no one in the Wei Dynasty will dare to recognize the first..."

Just like the wheelbarrow, the meteorite knife, the white hemp armor, the five-foot-long spear, the bronze scout whistle, the silk clothing to prevent arrows, as well as the ice-based city, Huatu's secret technique, the holy medicine for trauma, the miraculous medical technique that almost heals a half-dead person, etc.

Wait, wait...

If it were anyone else, if he took out anything casually, he would definitely be praised by the world and shocked by heaven and earth.

But if it were Li Chengzhi, it would be as simple as eating and drinking. It seems that there is nothing in the world that he cannot do?

It's funny to say that because his talent in military training and battle is so outstanding, people have unknowingly ignored his methods?

Just because in the eyes of the world, and in the eyes of high-ranking people like Xi Kangsheng, these are all trivial ways, and together they are no more than a hollow formation created by Li Chengzhi...

So, it’s just a surprise...

Da Xi gasped in surprise.

After working on it for a long time, even if someone guessed that Li Chengzhi did it, it was still difficult to find evidence of his crime?

It was later discovered that the Buddha statues were actually made of iron, but who could be sure that these Buddha statues were iron Buddhas rather than bronze Buddhas?

What's even more wonderful is that the person who knew the truth died completely?

The old monk Daweina Xuanhui of Zhaoxuan Temple had already committed suicide out of fear of his crime. Among the disciples of Xuanhui, as long as they had names and surnames, one of them held an official position, but they were all killed by Li Chengzhi?

It’s amazing...

Apart from admiration, Da Xi really didn’t know how to evaluate Li Chengzhi.

It was true as expected: a person like Li Chengzhi, who is extremely talented and has a strong luck, as if God is his own father, will probably never encounter a few critical moments in his life, but he will encounter,

Nine times out of ten, something bad will happen...

Just like this time, such a big disaster happened to happen to my father?

If it were another person, even if they couldn't find any flaws in Li Chengzhi and couldn't convict him, they would definitely be able to peel off a layer of Li Chengzhi's skin...

Da Xi admires himself even more.

I admire myself for being so decisive and able to put down my posture and take the initiative to show my kindness to Li Chengzhi?

Such a person, if he is given help in times of need once, he will be remembered for a lifetime.

Just like Hu Baozong, although he helped Li Chengzhi a lot, in the end, he was still helping himself and eliminating troubles for the stability of the Hu family.

But Li Chengcheng seemed to remember it deep in his heart and considered it in every possible way. If Hu Baozong had not lost his mind in desperation and said such decisive words, how could Li Chengzhi have turned against him?

Being able to be friends with such a person is really a blessing...

He was so absorbed in his thoughts that Da Xi unconsciously raised the corners of his mouth.

Looking at the face that was 78% similar to his own, Xi Kangsheng sighed secretly.

He has many children, but the one he likes the most is Daxi, who has always followed his father.

One is because of his mother, and the other is that among the sons, Da Xi is the most like him.

Not only do they look alike, their personalities are more like...

So Xi Kangsheng knew exactly what Da Xi was thinking.

In terms of great righteousness and status, not to mention the legitimate son, even the concubine, he can't compare with it.

In terms of backers, except for himself, his nominal father and de facto biological father, he didn’t even have half a helping hand.

Therefore, after a hundred years, Da Xi will not be able to get a trace of the family property, the cute title, or the incestuous love he left behind.

Therefore, Da Xi could only use his reputation to make friends with some people like Li Chengzhi who seemed to be lurking in the abyss but would eventually come forward sooner or later...

But Xi Kangsheng was not disgusted, but rather pleased.

Regardless of whether he can be won over, whether he can be subdued, whether he can eventually become a strong support, it at least shows that Da Xi is motivated and knows how to take advantage of the situation...

Thinking of this, Xi Kangsheng mused again: "You have good taste... Li Chengzhi may seem capricious, but in fact he still values ​​friendship deep down and is worthy of deep friendship...

Well, let’s do it tomorrow. I’ve handed over my errand earlier, backed up the generous gift, and as a colleague, I’ll go to the house to say thank you...”

Da Xi was overjoyed and bowed before bowing his head: "Thank you for following me, father..."

The little thought he had to show that his father had long seen through it.
To be continued...
