After the immortal disappeared

The buildings of Xilin Temple are tall and majestic, and are basically made of Panjin stone, which is terrifyingly heavy. The ground under the temple is soft to begin with, and with so many heavy objects on top, the ground will of course sink faster.

In fact, Xialin District is the area with the most serious waterlogging. Not only Xilin Temple, but also civilians' homes have suffered the most in recent years. The low-lying areas of some blocks have become small lakes, and some places have been swallowed up by the lake.

"If you want to move it away, then move it away. Why did you move it away without authorization to build Huanbiao?" When Xiao Zhushi opened his mouth, Liang Zhushi turned around and glared at him.

Is this guy a fool? What does "if you want to move it away, then move it away" mean? As the main servant of Xilin Temple, he opened his mouth and directly defined the matter, that is, it doesn't matter if the stones are moved away without authorization.

After being glared at by him, Xiao Zhushi also came back to his senses. He thought to himself that it was not good. He was so angry that he was dizzy. Just when he wanted to speak to make amends, He Lingchuan spoke first: "Excuse me, Xiao Zhushi, I used idle building materials to build Huanbiao. Which law did I violate?"

When he said this, You Rongzhi beside him wanted to applaud him.

Good question!

"This..." Even the furious Xiao Zhushi was stunned, but then he said, "You didn't embezzle ordinary building materials! Those are the stone pillars of my temple! They gather the power of thousands of faiths!"

He Lingchuan's expression was unusually sincere: "I have checked the regulations of Yaoguo. There is only one relevant provision: building materials and objects dismantled from temples and palaces cannot be used to build private houses!"

He immediately turned to the king of Yao: "Your Majesty, we are not building private houses, but the most magnificent wonder buildings! Which current law stipulates that building materials dismantled from public buildings cannot be used to build public wonder buildings?"

The word "public" is emphasized.

Could the Xilin Temple belong to Xiao Zhushi? It belongs to the goddess, and it is indeed a public building in the human world, because believers often come and go, and thousands of people gather in public.

If this is a private call, what will happen? Who else in Tianshui City has this power except King Yao?

With just one sentence, He Lingchuan pulled the temple and the Huanbiao into the same level, as if neither is more noble than the other.

Why can't the stones used to build the temple be used to build the Huanbiao?

The temple represents the goddess, and the Huanbiao also represents the national destiny and the royal power.

Of course, everyone present knew that Miaozhantian's status must be higher than the royal power of the Yao Kingdom.

But knowing is one thing, and not being able to say it is another.

Could Xiao Zhushi stand here and point at King Yao's nose and yell "You don't deserve it"?

Facing the goddess's spokesperson on earth, He Lingchuan was not afraid.

Just kidding, before he did such a rude thing, he almost read through the laws of Yao country, especially those related to temples.

If there was any violation of the law, his trick would not be able to continue.

This law in Yao law is so marginal, because Yao country had a temple that was in disrepair for a long time, and the bricks, stones and tiles were picked up by civilians to build houses and repair fences. The gods were dissatisfied, so they added such a law that the bricks and stones of the temples could not be used to build private houses.

Generally speaking, the building materials and objects dismantled from temples and palaces are either destroyed or used to build temples and palaces. The officials are all well-behaved and it is impossible to use them to repair the government office, so there is no need for additional regulations.

Unexpectedly, He Xiao took advantage of this loophole today.

If the law does not prohibit it, blame others?

You Rongzhi coughed lightly: "He Island Master is not a native, and he is not clear about these requirements of the temple."

He said "requirements", not the explicit regulations on paper.

Requirements are implicit.

How can an outsider know the local rules? You didn't write it down on paper.

He can only check the law, and he only knows that what he did is not against the law.

Besides, it is the rush period for the construction of the new city. King Yao and Liang Zhushi know how much the construction site is short of materials. As the actual helmsman of this super-large project, He Xiao will of course try every means to solve the problem when he encounters difficulties. There are idle building materials, and He Huanbiao can use them. It's just right...

Everything is just right, so why not use them?

If the host of this project does not know how to adapt to circumstances, the eastward expansion of the capital will not reach this point today.

As soon as You Rongzhi opened his mouth, Xiao Zhushi switched his target to him: "He didn't know, Lord You, why are you confused and let him make such a big mistake? Is this a failure to supervise?"

He has been angry recently and wants to pick on everyone. The man surnamed You is in charge of the new city project and is also one of the key responsible persons.

You Rongzhi: "This..."

Such a large project is complicated, so how could he possibly ask about everything? Besides, the aftermath of the Xilin Temple was authorized by Liang Zhushi and Yao Wang, and it was clearly written in black and white. Is there any need for him to question it?

Moreover, the demolition and transportation of the Xilin Temple did not involve money, and it did not go through his approval process.

You Rongzhi had no way to explain these.

Before he could speak, He Lingchuan sneered: "Big mistake? Without rules, there will be no order. I acted in accordance with the law, so what's wrong with that? I didn't make any mistakes, so why did you say that Lord You failed to supervise?"

For the matter of misappropriating the building materials of the Xilin Temple, could he make up a very smooth excuse? Yes.

But he didn't do it that way, he didn't!

It was rare that the master of the Goddess Temple was also present. Today's opportunity to confront each other face to face was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. He would not stop until he beat the other party to death.

He Lingchuan spoke very fast, not giving anyone a chance to interrupt: "Master Xiao said that the stones of Xilin Temple cannot be used for the new city's Huanbiao? On the day when Xilin Temple collapsed, the old ashes in the temple were blown into the homes of surrounding residents. That's more than a hundred years of faith and incense. Do you have to go door to door to get it back?"

"The construction of the new city is tight and the task is heavy. Of course, I have to focus on the overall planning and resource coordination, otherwise how can such a big stall operate? When it's time to build Huanbiao, build Huanbiao, and when it's time to repair the temple, it will naturally be repaired!"

"The temple I promised to build for you will be delivered to you on time, without a day's delay! It's you, Master Xiao, who is making a fuss and making trouble for no reason. You dare to point fingers in front of the monarch. What's your intention?"

After this barrage of cannonballs, the imperial study suddenly became quiet.

Master Xiao couldn't believe his ears.

Who did he say was making trouble for no reason? Who! How dare someone speak so rudely in front of Liang, in front of King Yao, and in front of him?

Xiao's face flushed red, and he pointed at He Lingchuan and said sternly: "You are rude, you dare to contradict..."

Are you going to die?

King Yao coughed hard and had to stop him: "He Xiao, you must not be rude to Xiao's servant!"

No official had ever dared to speak so recklessly in front of him and the chief, and no one dared to point a gun at the divine servant.
