The county guard called all the well-known rich families in Changliu County, and Fu Tian and Wei Yang took the cooks to several big restaurants in Changliu County one by one. After a few days, the restaurant launched the Feihuang Banquet first.

This Feihuangyan has the same pronunciation as "Flying Locust", but it takes the homonym of "Locust", which is more elegant.The dishes on the banquet are all made of locusts as ingredients, fried, cooked and stewed, and the eighteen methods are all available.

Not only is the presentation beautiful, but the taste is also said to be delicious, making it hard to stop.

What attracted everyone's attention was not only the ingredients for this table of banquets, but what was even more surprising was that only three tables could be reserved for this Feihuang banquet every day.

The restaurant that launched the Feihuang Banquet is the most prestigious restaurant in Changliu County. There are often high-ranking officials and dignitaries coming in and out, and when there are more rich people, it is inevitable to compare with each other.

This Feihuang Banquet, which only serves three tables a day, naturally once again became a tool for the rich to compare themselves with.

On the first day of the launch of the Feihuang Banquet, two of the three banquet tables were pre-determined. The first table was for Kanglehou and the two adults from the Ministry of Criminal Affairs who came from afar. I tried my best, and finally the third table was released with a clearly marked price for people to book.

With the distinguished guests at the first two tables as a gimmick, many people wanted to meet Fu Tian and the others to get close, since they all paid for the only remaining table of Feihuang banquet.

For a while, it attracted a lot of attention, and the last table of Feihuang banquet was won by the highest bidder, and he got his wish. He ate this table of Feihuang banquet in the box next to Kanglehou, although he didn't even have the hem of Kanglehou Having seen one, it does not hinder their feeling of honor.

The succession of good shows has diluted the ingredients themselves, and the cooks have carefully cooked them, and it is difficult to see the original appearance. Therefore, the Feihuang Banquet was launched less than five days ago, and it was quickly accepted, and even some old gourmets can eat Much praise.

For a while, the dignitaries and dignitaries of Changliu County rushed to book the Feihuang Banquet, as if they were not as good as others if they had not eaten the Feihuang Banquet.Seeing that the first restaurant that launched Feihuangyan made a lot of money, businessmen who were still hesitant to wait and see also joined in one after another, and successively launched "Pinhuangyan", "Shanghuangyan" and so on.

The high price of the restaurant attracts the women. For a while, eating locusts became a fashion in Changliu County, and the curiosity of the common people was aroused, and many people thought of giving it a try.After all, although they couldn't afford the Feihuang Banquet, the locusts were everywhere.

The folks who tried these did not have the cooking skills of a chef, and the appearance and taste of the food they made may be far from the taste, but these migratory locusts were raised by crops, and each of them grew fat. Leaving aside the scary appearance, the meat inside It was surprisingly delicious.

The first few companies who tried it were full of praise, and then the neighbors around began to learn how to make it... After spreading the word, most of the people can accept this novel delicacy.

Just like what Qin officials said, poor people should save every hu rice to eat, not to mention these locusts that can be made into meat and vegetables, even if they look a little ugly, they can't stop them from filling their stomachs.

Some people like it, but naturally some people can't accept it, and even feel disgusted and disgusted. People are always not afraid to use the worst thoughts to speculate on disgusting things. Gradually, various rumors have spread, from locusts being poisonous to eating locusts. Rumors that violated the laws of nature and harmed Yin and morality emerged one after another.

The people who were originally enthusiastic about eating locusts began to hesitate. Fu Huang frowned when he heard the rumors in the steward's newspaper. He always felt that this statement seemed familiar. "Go and check to see if it came from Pudu Temple?"

Before they were busy with disaster relief, they ignored the fake monks in Pudu Temple who sucked the people's blood. Now that he hasn't come to the door, they didn't expect these fake monks to be lonely.

According to Wang Guanshi's words, he went to investigate around the Pudu Temple and found that the rumors really came from there. Many people who had eaten locusts believed the rumors. Yinqian went to Pudu Temple to ask Master Pudu to help chant scriptures and pray for blessings, and asked the Buddha for forgiveness.

Steward Wang reported back the news that he had obtained from the investigation. During the moment he observed, many people entered the Pudu Temple with panic and fear on their faces.

Fu Tian sighed, these people said they were kind and kind, and they said they were ignorant but they were also ignorant, but a rumor could scare them so much, the county guard was silent when he heard the news, and discussed with them, "These monstrous monks can no longer stay."

Wei Yang also agrees that although they are only trying to make money, there is no guarantee that they will not have other intentions when they develop and grow in the future. It is already unforgivable to say that they are now instilling these fallacies and heresies into the people to defraud people of money.

Wei Yang said: "Changliu County also has a decent temple, the county guard might as well invite an eminent monk to sit in the town."

The monks in the orthodox temples all have monk certificates, and they are all merciful. It is said that the monks in Tai'an Temple in Changliu County, after the catastrophe, took the initiative to go down the mountain to help others, walking in the countryside, either for the dead, or for the living. Those who pray for blessings, some who are good at medicine, can help the poor see their illnesses, and they often give porridge to the people in the temple.

They will never be like this group of fake monks who only stare at the money in the pockets of the people.

"No matter what, we must expose their identities in front of those believers." Fu Tian added: "Otherwise, they might bite back and say that it is persecution by the government."

The county guard thought it was reasonable, and immediately set off to Tai'an Temple to ask the masters in the temple to come down the mountain.

Half a day later, a monk in cassock came with him, about 60 years old, with a kind face, but at the moment he was full of anger.

Fu Tian asked with his eyes.

The sheriff explained: "This is the abbot Jingchen of Tai'an Temple. He was very angry when he heard that someone pretended to be a monk to defraud the people of money, so he came with me personally."

Abbot Jingchen looked angry, and Jishou bowed to Fu Tian, ​​"Amitabha, benefactors, don't worry, the old monk will expose such scum who harm the people in public."

Fu Huang clasped his palms together and saluted, and led the abbot to the east of the city, telling him about the bad deeds of Pudu Temple.

Fu Tian's identities have not yet been revealed, and they entered the Pudu Temple ostentatiously by virtue of their identity as followers of Master Pudu. The two fake monks guarding the gate looked at Abbot Jingchen who was walking with them in surprise.

Master Purdue is giving lectures to the believers. After Fu Tian and his party came, they solved the natural disasters and man-made disasters in Changliu County one by one. The number of people who believe in Master Purdue has decreased. At this time, even one yard is not enough to sit in, and there are only more than 40 people. .

The believers sat cross-legged on the ground, clasped their hands, closed their eyes and listened devoutly to his lecture, and turned around curiously only when they heard movement behind them.

Wei Yang still had a smile on his face, and bowed nonchalantly to him, "Master Purdue is fine, we ran into Abbot Jingchen on the road, and told him about your deeds, Abbot Jingchen must come to see you. "

The smile on Master Purdue’s face froze, and the cold sweat dripped down. Those who are liars must recognize the “genuine goods” more or less clearly to avoid making jokes. Naturally, he knows Abbot Jingchen. The abbot's Dharma is profound, and he must be the first to give lectures at the Tai'an Temple's annual Dharma assembly.

Therefore, these believers also knew him, and when they saw Abbot Jingchen, they all stood up and bowed to him, saying hello to him.

Although Master Jingchen was furious, he was very kind to these deceived people. After nodding his head with a smile, his eyes full of anger turned to Master Purdue.

He smiled and asked: "I don't know where Buddhist friends came out to place the order, but did they bring a monk certificate? If you don't mind, you can follow me to Tai'an Temple to place the order."

Master Pudu swallowed in panic, his eyes flicked around, and he replied with a trembling voice after a long time: "Thank you abbot for your kindness, the poor monk is used to wandering around, and the catastrophe in Changliu County has passed, in a few days, It's time for the poor monk to continue wandering."

Master Jingchen's gaze was sharper, and his clear gaze seemed to be able to see through Purdu. Master Purdu subconsciously took a step back, but felt it was too embarrassing, so he forced himself to stand back.

"I heard that Master Pudu's Buddhism is profound, and I originally wanted to invite you to stay in Tai'an Temple for a while to discuss Buddhism. Since this is the case, I can't force it, why don't you ask for some advice on the spot?"

Master Purdue's back was soaked in cold sweat. How could he dare to discuss Buddhism with Abbot Jingchen? What he knew was just what he heard in the temple and then made up. It's okay to fool the ignorant people, but for those who understand One mouthful in front of her will reveal her stuffing.

He frequently raised his sleeves to wipe the sweat from his forehead, and his aura was gone. Even the believers at the side saw something, calmed down from the excitement of seeing the two masters discussing Buddhism, and looked at Pudu hesitantly Grandmaster.

Jiang is indeed old and hot. Master Jingchen turned a blind eye to his expression, and began to discuss Buddhism with him with a calm face, "All human affairs are nothing but Buddhist affairs, and all world dharmas are nothing but Buddhist teachings. Once this heart is clear, I am a Buddha. After death and resurrection, with a deep enlightenment, you will know that all living beings owe nothing, and the Buddha has nothing to increase. When you are lost, all living beings are the same as the Buddha, and after enlightenment, the Buddha is the same as all the living beings... What does Master Purdue think of all living beings? What is the Buddha also?"

He spoke this passage extremely slowly, and his penetrating gaze seemed to penetrate Master Purdue.

Master Purdue muttered his lips and couldn't speak, his face was ashen, but he refused to bow his head and confess his guilt.

Master Jingchen sighed, chanted the Buddha's name, and said sharply: "The Buddha is in his heart, if all living beings can transcend ordinary nature, he is a Buddha, and if a Buddha can't get rid of greed, hatred and ignorance, he is just a common people, a false Buddha! "

Although he is old, he is full of energy. One sentence from the fake Buddha angrily scolded the Quartet, so frightened that Master Purdue sat on the ground limply on the spot. I understand.

This is not an eminent monk at all, but a folk liar, and now he will be exposed when he meets a real eminent monk!

Qin Li turned around and waved his hand, and the officers and soldiers waiting outside the door rushed in and detained Master Pudu, while several of his accomplices had already arrested him silently.

These fake monks were shackled and walked around Dongcheng before being taken back to the government to await trial.

The people who have not witnessed Master Purdue's identity being exposed with their own eyes still can't believe it, especially the people who have received his kindness. Could it be a liar?"

The person who was refuted by him snorted disdainfully, "If you don't believe me, go to the government to have a look, the trial will be held tomorrow, Dongshi also posted a notice, if anyone has been cheated of money, you can go to the court tomorrow to identify them."

As a result, believers and unbelievers gathered outside the courtroom when the case was heard the next day.

The real identities of this group of fake monks were also found out. It turned out that they were originally rogues in a small village in Changliu County. Pudu came out to pretend to be an eminent monk, cheating money everywhere.

Oh, Pudu's natal name is Wang Dazhu. Although he has a kind face, he still does immoral things. He is the leader of these people.

After the crimes were listed one by one, some people who were defrauded of money came forward to identify them and told how Purdue tricked them into donating money.

There were too many people identified. After hearing a few times, the sheriff convicted a few people. The rest of the people who could not be identified in the future registered their names and stolen money one by one. After the case was over and the stolen goods were counted, they would one by one refund them.

The case is still under trial, but the deeds of Pudu Temple and these fake monks have spread throughout Changliu County. While the people spurned them, they also praised Master Jingchen, who had exposed their true colors at that time, as living Buddhas.

Although Fu Tian and the others are helpless, the common people always have a sustenance. Even if they are too ignorant, this situation will not be reversed in a short time. On the contrary, Master Jingchen is merciful and takes the initiative to stay at the foot of the mountain to open an altar to explain the Dharma, to appease people.

So far, the natural and man-made disasters in Changliu County have been resolved, and even the surrounding counties are gradually improving, and Fu Huang and the others have been in Changliu County for almost a month in a blink of an eye.

Fu Tian looked to the north, thinking of someone at the border, and didn't know if he had sent a letter back, "It's time for us to go back."

The three of them packed up their luggage, bid farewell to the sheriff, and prepared to leave for Qingyang.

Before leaving, the people of Changliu County did not know where they got the news. They knew that they were the famous Kanglehou and the high officials of the capital, and spontaneously gathered behind the carriage to see him off.

Fu Huang lifted the curtain of the car, looked at the street full of people behind him, smiled from the bottom of his heart, and waved to them.

I don't know who started it, but the people seeing off knelt down one after another, kowtowed to them with tears in their eyes...

On the third day of November, the three arrived in Qingyang.

The advanced palace reported the situation of Changliu County and several surrounding counties before they each received their rewards and went back to rest.

Fu Tian was the last to go out, but was stopped by Chu Fengyuan, "You Ling, you stay."

Fu Tian turned around in surprise, "Is there any order from the emperor?"

Chu Fengyuan patted him on the shoulder in relief, "When the mother heard about your return, she asked you to stay in the palace and have dinner together."

Fu Huang nodded, since Chu Xiangtian is not here, he should be filial on his behalf.

"And Fengzhang's side..." Chu Fengyuan whetted his appetite on purpose, and seeing his brows and eyes lit up for a moment, he suddenly understood why the younger brother treats him like a treasure, so he stopped teasing him and said, "Shan The good news came from Yuguan two days ago, and Feng Zhang asked the messenger to bring you something. You were not there two days ago, so the queen mother stored it for you."

Fu Huang couldn't hide the surprise in his brows and eyes. He put aside all his previous pretending to be stable and mature, looked at Chu Fengyuan eagerly and asked, "Shanyu Pass is a great victory? Have the foreigners retreated? When will the prince come back?"

Chu Fengyuan smiled. His younger brother had no less ideas than him since he was a child. The two brothers supported each other. Only now did Fu Tian give him a sense of accomplishment as an elder brother. Temporarily retreating, Mu Laqili's arm was broken by Feng Zhang, but it did not hinder his life, and the severe winter is about to enter, and the foreigners lack food and grass for the winter, so they will not give up easily."

So Chu Xiangtian had to guard Shanyu Pass, and he couldn't come back for a while.

Fu Tian's bright eyes dimmed for a moment, and then he thought that the great victory at least meant that Chu Xiangtian was fine, so he became happy again, and then thought about what Chu Xiangtian would send him back.
