As the largest martial arts force, the Five Mountains Alliance is a weather vane in the world. At this critical moment, the signal released by the rejection of gifts from various companies on the list is obvious.

Even if you don’t eat the meat you deliver to your door, you will know that something big will happen next.

...

Shaoshishan

As one of the protagonists of this storm, Shaolin Temple was unable to survive alone. The most direct impact was that the atmosphere on the mountain had changed, and many monks also started talking about money in private.

Originally, he thought it was Jianghu Bai Xiaosheng who was slandering him, but Fang Zheng personally took a look at the family's assets. The result was that he didn't know if he didn't check it, but when he checked, he was shocked.

Compared with the real family business of Shaolin Temple, the ones listed on the list can only be considered small. If all of them are exposed, they will probably be the ones at the top of the list.

It has to be said that "Jianghu Baixiaosheng" still has professional ethics. The ranking of the rich people not only depends on the total income, but also emphasizes disposable wealth.

Therefore, the Ming Dynasty, which had the highest annual income, had to be ranked eight digits if it wanted to be on the list. After all, they had been losing money for decades and were the best "lost man" in the world.

Although Shaolin Temple has a lot of industries, the huge wealth it has obtained has not all entered the temple, but has disappeared mysteriously in every link.

Fang Zheng didn't feel strange about the fact that there was a borer inside. As a sect that has been passed down for thousands of years, how could it be that it lacked a dark side?

But the appetite of the borer still surprised him. It was clearly a shrinking version of the Ming Dynasty, with all the above and below entering the stage of decay.

The problem was not exposed, because Shaolin Temple is constantly expanding and new sources of wealth are constantly injecting into it.

Fang Zheng is very clear that there is danger of continuing uncontrolled expansion. The world has entered the era of giant monopoly, and if it continues to expand, it will inevitably lead to conflicts with major forces.

This rich list incident is a wake-up call. Fortunately, the Kong family emerged and took away the title of No. 1, otherwise Shaolin Temple would be really in danger.

Now not only is Shaolin in trouble, but the entire Buddhist sect is facing difficulties. The biggest problem is that four temples appeared in the top 20 wealthy list.

In addition to the aristocratic families, there are only Buddhists on the list, which is more noble than the royal family. As a competitor, the Taoist sect can't see any shadow.

Fang Zheng had enough reason to suspect that the people who created this list had close relationships with the same sects, otherwise there would be no need to take care of them like this.

Otherwise, if other poor ghosts cannot get up, they will throw Wudang up and make up for the numbers, right?

Sitting in the land of fish and rice in Huguang and being the boss of the righteous path in the south, Fang Zheng does not believe that the Wudang Sect does not have a net worth of tens of millions.

"Junior Brother Fang Sheng, collect information as soon as possible to supplement the subsequent list and throw it out in the name of Jianghu Bai Xiaosheng.

All forces must be dragged into the water, especially the Taoist sect, so they cannot continue to watch the fun.”

The internal troubles are not good for a while, so Fang Zheng can only solve the external troubles first. Jianghu Bai Xiaosheng is too hostile to Shaolin, and now he must be eliminated.

After hesitating for a moment, Fang Sheng said in embarrassment: "Senior Brother, it is easy to drag all forces into the water, but it is probably difficult to attack Taoist sects.

The lists produced by Jianghu Bai Xiaosheng several times are convincing, the key is that he has produced real things.

Among the Taoist sects, the Wudang Sect and Longhu Mountain are the ones with more industries. Most of the other Dao Clans are not very good.

Including the Huashan School, which is in its prime, there is not much land in the school. Although there are many other industries, most of them cannot be put on the table, and the main income is still protection fees.

If they are forced to be on the list, it is easy to be suspected of fraud, and it may even cause trouble."

After several twists and turns, while "Jianghu Baixiaosheng" became a household name, it almost became the public enemy of the world.

In Fang Sheng's opinion, it is obvious that he is pretending to be "Jianghu Baixiaosheng" at this time, and it is obvious that he is playing with fire. If someone discovers it, Shaolin Temple will not be able to wash it even if it jumps into the Yellow River.

Fang Zheng shook his head: "I can't care about that much. If I let this world go on and on, my thousand-year reputation in Buddhism will be gone.

Even if someone is questioned for fraud, it will have to pull down all forces. The Huashan faction does not have enough industries, so go to the Five Mountains Alliance.

Don’t the Songshan School like to do private salt transactions? It’s written down together. The world’s largest private salt dealer is enough to make them feel better.

But if you have an idea about the operation, you should not feel too deliberate. Otherwise, it is easy to suspect that I am Shaolin. We cannot turn against the Five Yue Sword Sect at the moment."

In the thousands of years of Shaolin Temple, there have been few such cowards. Even when Zhang Sanfeng was alive, he had never been cowards with Wudang and others.

But it doesn't work now. The Five Mountains Sword Sect is not the newborn Wudang. If they really do it, even without the innate master Li Mu, they will not be sure of winning now.

It’s fine to brag and fool people from the outside, but you should still be rational enough when your family is closed.

...

"Master, please be kind and take action to save my young master!"

While speaking, the elderly butler knelt directly in front of the Taoist of Tianmen. If the Tianmen had not flashed quickly, he would have been saved.

Looking at Kong Defu who was calmly drinking tea, the Taoist of Tianmen asked dissatisfiedly: "What does Donor Kong mean?"

Just after returning the Kong Family Festival Ceremony, Kong Defu, the younger brother of Yan Shenggong, came to him.

No matter what, the face of the Kong family in Shandong is still very useful. The core members come to visit the door, and Tianmen is not easy to see.

But the scene in front of him was beyond his expectations. Before Kong Defu could say anything, an old man who looked like a housekeeper knelt down first.

Faced with the questioning of Tianmen, Kong Defu immediately stood up and kicked the old man, cursing angrily: "Get away and don't dirty the place!"

"Master, I'm really sorry. This is the housekeeper of the cousin of the Seventeenth House. Two days ago, my cousin's family was attacked by thieves. Not only did he kill several people, he kidnapped his cousin's only legitimate son.

The thief asked for a ransom of 100,000 taels and asked us to send it to the Thirteen Villages of Mengshan in ten days, otherwise we would have to tear the tickets.

When I heard about this, my cousin fainted on the spot. I was also a weak scholar. I really didn’t know how to negotiate with the thief, so I could only ask the Taoist priest to help him.”

Before the Taoist Master Tianmen replied, Kong Defu ordered to the slave, "Come on, open the box."

As the small box was opened, the shining golden light came into everyone's eyes.

"This is a golden meeting gift of 500 taels. Please accept it with a smile. After the matter is completed, we will thank you very much. We will definitely live up to the Taoist priest's grace..."

Before Kong Defu finished speaking, Taoist Master Tianmen interrupted: "The donor should take the things back. I will not ask about the affairs of the Kong family."

After saying that, he turned around and left, leaving behind a back for Kong Defu. Obviously, Tianmen was very dissatisfied with the Kong family's attitude.

It takes five hundred taels of gold to take action, which is indeed a big deal, but it depends on when.

In the past, everyone would help because of the face of Saint Kong.

But the situation is different now. The Kong family, the richest man in the world, has become the target of public criticism. At this time, if you ask for help, you must show your attitude towards asking for help.

If he comes up directly, he will spend money. Does he want to be faceless?

What's more, there is an order from the Five Mountains Alliance Leader. It is better to offend the Kong family than to offend his own boss.

Of course, the main thing is that there are not enough money. If you add two or three more zeros in the back, Tianmen must reconsider it.

According to the experience of the Tianmen River and Lake, robbery and kidnapping are just the beginning. Next, the Kong family must learn to get used to it, because this will become a normal state.

It was not just the Five Mountains Sword Sect who refused to accept the protection fee of the Kong family. As far as Tianmen knew, after the Taishan Sect refunded the money, all the famous and upright sects in Shandong successively refunded the money.

Perhaps in the eyes of the Kong family, this is a sect that wants to take advantage of the situation and make a big move.

But as the person involved, Tianmen knew very well. If the Kong family refused to bleed heavily, they would definitely not escape the current disaster.

It is called the largest aristocratic family in the world, but in fact, compared with several other hard-core aristocratic families, the Kong family is a parallel product.

In addition to having a lot of money, when it comes to strength, even ordinary middle-class families cannot compare with each other. The main reason is that they are used to lying down and have no sense of crisis at all.

They were able to remain unscathed in the big storm of the dynasty. How could they take the small waves in front of them seriously?

Judging from the performance of Kong Defu, the second master of the Kong family, you can know that he did not realize that danger was coming, and he naively thought that relying on the signature of the saint family could protect their glory and wealth.

But they forgot that the emperor, both good and evil, and the small and medium-sized clans are all staring at them and drooling.

It’s hard to take action on the right path, isn’t there any demon sect?

This kind of thing has always been the masterpiece of demons in the Demon Cult. Now everyone only needs to provide convenience to the people in the Demon Cult to help them create opportunities for crimes.

When the people from the Demon Sect have finished robbing, everyone will come out to cure the aftermath. If necessary, you can even help make up for it.

Anyway, no matter how clean the demons of the Demon Cult robbed, the land, salt fields, tea houses... these real estates can never be escaped.

Tianmen is sure that the Wuyue Sword Sect will be indispensable in the end. Even if it is just a piece of the remaining soup, it is much better than the small profit in front of you.
