Otherwise, as a Taoist priest, he would not be a county magistrate in Huojing County, Shu County.

Yuan Tiangang still has enough awe for the secular imperial power.Regarding what Li Wangyou said, after the event is completed, Li Er has other rewards but also has expectations.

Don't look at Yuan Tiangang who can even calculate his own lifespan, but still can't jump out of the world of mortals. From this point of view, Yuan Tiangang is not as good as Sun Simiao.

Seeing Yuan Tiangang nodding in agreement, Li Wangyou immediately asked Niu Wu to call for the little Taoist priest to invite the abbot.

After the abbot, the abbot, arrived, Li Wangyou took out an imperial edict from his bosom, and read Li Er's edict to him.

The imperial edict ordered the abbot of Xuandu Temple to gather the manpower and material resources of 58 Taoist temples in Chang'an City, and hold the Luotian Dajiao in the Taiji Palace three days later.

This edict was handed over to Li Wangyou by someone sent by Li Er yesterday.

This time, Li Er ordered that Li Wangyou be in charge of directing these Taoist temples to set up altars and build sacrifices.

The abbot of Xuandu Temple accepted the edict with great trepidation, and immediately ordered the little Taoist priest to invite the abbots of 58 Taoist temples in Chang'an City to come to Xuandu Temple to discuss this matter.

In front of Abbot Xuandu Guan, Li Wangyou asked Yuan Tiangang to be the officiant of the Luotian Dajiao, and asked the abbot to obey Yuan Tiangang's orders.

For this, Abbot Xuanduguan naturally nodded in agreement.

Li Wangyou finished explaining the matter and didn't plan to stay any longer.

Anyway, he didn't know what to do with the Daoist Luo Tian Dajiao at all, and he just left it to these professionals to handle it all. Li Wangyou only planned to be a hands-off shopkeeper.

Before leaving, Li Wangyou asked the abbot to find him a statue of the Taoist ancestor, which is useful to him.

The Dao ancestor is Lao Tzu Li Er.

Tang Gaozu Li Yuan respected Lao Tzu Li Er as his ancestor as early as the founding of the country, so Li Wangyou chose the Taoist ancestor to show his holiness as the god who broke the theory of divine punishment.

Abbot Xuanduguan and Yuan Tiangang couldn't figure out what Li Wangyou wanted to do, but according to his instructions, he invited a bronze statue from the hall dedicated to the Taoist ancestor and handed it to him.

This statue of Taoist ancestor Lao Tzu is about fifty centimeters high, made of gilt copper, and cast in hollow, so it is not heavy.

His plan to get rid of the theory of divine punishment will fall on the statue of the ancestor Laozi.

Li Wangyou took a closer look at the gilded statue and thought it was suitable, so he motioned for Niu Wu to hug the statue and leave.

Sun Simiao and his disciple Liu Shenwei, however, stayed in the Xuandu Temple, preparing to reminisce with their old friend Yuan Tiangang, and help prepare for the Luotian Dajiao by the way.

Not to mention how busy everyone was in the Xuandu Temple, preparing for the Luo Tian Dajiao.Li Wangyou looked relaxed, and led Niu Wu out of the Taoist temple, ready to go back to Dingzhou Village.

The abbot of Xuandu Temple graciously sent Li Wangyou out of the Taoist temple. Although he still didn't know Li Wangyou's real identity, he could get the edict, and he was the person in charge of the Luotian Dajiao this time. How could he dare to neglect .

Unexpectedly, just after Li Wangyou led Niu Wu out of the Xuandu temple, before he got on his horse, he saw several government servants in soap clothes surrounded him on both sides of the Taoist temple.

These soap-clothed yamen servants, holding iron rulers and chains, saw Li Wangyou and Niu Wu coming out of the Taoist temple, their eyes lit up, and they rushed over without saying a word, surrounding the two of them.

"Are you Li Wangyou from Hu County?" The leader of the yamen's team was full of flesh, his waist was slumped, and he smelled of alcohol, and his steps were a bit staggering.He hiccupped and yelled at Li Wangyou.

Li Wangyou and Niu Wu were both taken aback, what's going on?

209 You committed a crime!

Li Wangyou vaguely guessed something, but he still bowed his hands to the head of the yamen servant very politely.

"This tolerance is Li Wangyou from Hu County. I don't know what to do?"

The head of the yamen servant was belching, and was about to reach out to grab Li Wangyou's neck, and shouted cursingly: "It really is you boy! Damn, the men are drinking happily, are you looking for trouble for the men? "

"Stop! What do you want to do?" the abbot of the Taoist temple exclaimed.

Before the head of the yamen servants grabbed Li Wangyou's hand, he was firmly grabbed by a big thick hand, and the head of the yamen servants struggled a few times but couldn't break free.

Niu Wu held the gilded bronze statue of Taoist ancestor in one hand, and tightly grasped the arm of the head of the yamen servant with the other hand.

"Tolerance, what do you mean?" Li Wangyou looked at the servants surrounding them, and asked unhurriedly.

Chongrenfang was under the jurisdiction of Wannian County Government in Chang'an. He had never dealt with Wannian County, so naturally he didn't know these government servants.

The head of the yamen servant obviously drank a little too much, and spit at Li Wangyou and Niu Wu with the smell of alcohol: "Boy, you have committed a crime! Someone accused you of stealing other people's property, stop talking nonsense, and return to me obediently." Go to the county government."

"Stealing property? Tolerance, are you drinking too much? Did you steal someone's property?"

Abbot Xuanduguan also had an angry look on his face, and he reprimanded: "Tan Bantou, are you crazy? Do you know where this is? How could Mr. Xiaolang do something to steal other people's property?"

"Niubi, what are you talking about? You are crazy! I tell you, this is the king..." The head of the yamen servant suddenly realized that he almost slipped the tongue, and quickly changed his words: "You don't care about this matter! No matter how ignorant you are, Lao Tzu I'll put you in prison together!"

The leader of the yamen servant team said while waving to the yamen servants surrounding him, signaling them to go up and arrest people.

This group of yamen servants was obviously the same as the team leader of the yamen servants. It seemed that they were all drinking just now.

"You dare! Presumptuous! Tan, you don't want to live anymore? The poor are going to see who dares to do it today! Even if Lu Mingfu is here, he wouldn't dare to be so presumptuous!"

The abbot of Xuanduguan was about to be driven mad by these Wannian county government servants. He didn't expect that a small Wannian county government servant would dare to come to the gate of Xuanduguan to arrest people.

This yamen servant's surname is Tan, and he is very respectful to Xuandu Temple on weekdays, but today, this guy didn't know if he drank too much cat urine, but he dared to yell at him.

You must know that Xuandu Temple is a royal Taoist temple, and those who can enter Xuandu Temple to pay homage are all dignitaries in Chang'an City.

Not to mention this group of government servants in soap clothes, even the county magistrate of Wannian County, the official of the sixth grade of the Lu Ming Mansion he said came to Xuandu to watch, and he definitely did not dare to come here recklessly.

And this leader Tan is not even qualified to meet him on weekdays. In the eyes of Abbot Xuanduguan, he is just a small person like an ant.

But such a small person dared to point at him and scold Niubi just now, which made Abbot Xuanduguan so angry that he almost ran away.

If the leader of the Tan team really took Li Wangyou away from the gate of Xuandu Temple, then his face would really be completely thrown to the ground.

What's more, the young man who can come up with the edict of Li Er, can he be an ordinary person?He didn't even dare to watch Li Wangyou being taken away by these yamen servants.

"Niubi, you...you motherfucker, don't scare me with Mingfu!"

Not only was the head of the yamen servant not frightened by Abbot Xuanduguan's words, but he waved his arms and shouted, "Today...it's hard for anyone to come today. I must arrest this...boy today!"

The head of the yamen servants are all old fritters in the county yamen, old gangsters, how could he dare to talk like this on weekdays.

However, I drank two more glasses today, so the so-called wine is strong and cowardly, that's what it is.Secondly, in the opinion of Bantou Tan, the person who asked him to do this today has a great background, so what if it is Lu Mingfu?

The person who asked him to work, but promised him that he would recommend him to be transferred to an internal official.

You must know that even if he is the head of the county government's yamen servant team, he is just a subordinate official and has no rank at all.

There is a huge difference between Datang officials and subordinate officials.

All civil and military officials who have entered the ninth rank are called Liu Nei officials.

Xu and Li are two separate concepts. Li refers to officials without rank, and petty officials and officials without official ranks and honors are also called foreign officials.
