Honey Pomelo

Chapter 479 Monk and Taoist

Although he didn't understand why Han Mo was doing this, Xu Fengnian responded and walked out.

"Didn't you say you wanted to make money from this? If you take it out to print, won't you just be benefiting those people for nothing?"

As soon as Xu Fengnian left, Han Mo heard Zhe Yourong's voice.

"Even if this thing is sold, how much money can it fetch? What are you afraid of? This story isn't finished yet. If we don't put it out there, how can the big suckers come to our door?"

Han Mo chuckled and said no more, turning and striding towards his courtyard.

"I refuse to believe there's such a big sucker in Bianliang City!"

Seeing that Han Mo had already walked far away, Zhe Yourong pouted and mumbled.

"Husband, that great monk is here again. Look..."

Relying on the merits he had established last time, Wang Chaoan finally consolidated his position and began to handle Wang Fu's complicated affairs again.

"Hasn't the news already been leaked to them? What are they still coming for?"

Hearing Wang Chaoan's words, Wang Fu frowned with displeasure.

"Does this need to be said? At this time, when the Crown Prince has already started to act, of course they want to gain your support!"

"The things sent last time were only in exchange for that news. If they want my support, it depends on whether they are sensible themselves!"

With Wang Fu's cunning nature, he was naturally unwilling to express his stance at this moment.

Although he didn't have a good impression of Lin Lingsu, to join these monks' ranks just based on that golden Buddha would be too easy for them.

"This is the gift list they sent to Prime Minister!"

Hearing Wang Fu's words, Wang Chaoan quickly took out a booklet from his sleeve.

"Take him to the study!"

After reading the contents of the booklet, Wang Fu nodded with satisfaction.

"Yes!"

Seeing that Wang Fu agreed, Wang Chaoan couldn't help but feel a surge of joy.

Facilitating this meeting meant an income of one hundred taels of gold.

"This humble monk, Dao Jian, greets Prime Minister Wang!"

A quarter of an hour later, the monk Dao Jian, with gold paving the way, finally met Wang Fu again.

Although the meeting fee was indeed a bit expensive, thinking of the Buddha statues enshrined in the side halls of the temple, the old monk could only swallow his pride and bear it.

"Master is a virtuous monk, there is no need for such politeness. I wonder if Master has come to see me so late today for a reason?"

Wang Fu asked with a forced smile.

"I apologize for disturbing you so late today. I do have something to trouble Prime Minister with! Although the matter last time has shown some progress, we are ultimately alone and weak. This humble monk means, can Prime Minister assist us when it is within your power..."

At this point, the old monk very wisely stopped speaking and turned to look at Wang Fu.

"If it's just this, then it's naturally no problem. But Master, you must understand one thing. As an official appointed by the court, if you cannot do many things yourselves, you cannot blame me!"

Hearing Wang Fu's words, even Dao Jian, who had cultivated for many years, couldn't help but curse this guy as shameless in his heart.

Wang Fu had already swallowed over a million strings of their money, and now he was still dawdling about just saying a word.

"This humble monk understands. Prime Minister has his difficulties. As long as Prime Minister can assist us a little when it is within your power, this humble monk will be satisfied!"

Although the old monk's lungs were about to explode, he could only suppress his anger at this moment.

"Since that is the case, it is getting late, so I will not keep Master any longer!"

Seeing that his objective had been achieved, Wang Fu directly issued a guest order.

"This humble monk takes his leave!"

After leaving the Prime Minister's mansion, even though the old monk's heart was as firm as iron, he couldn't help but turn his head and spit.

"Master, did this guy agree?"

Seeing the old monk come out, the disciples following Dao Jian quickly gathered around.

"This guy is cunning and treacherous. Perhaps in the end, it will depend on our own luck. I don't know if the news we bought with heavy money is accurate or not..."

At this point, the old monk also showed a confused expression.

He never expected that the survival of the Buddhist school would depend on whether heaven was willing to grant a heavy rain...

"Let's go, we should go back first!"

No matter what, they could at least confirm that Wang Fu would not turn to Lin Lingsu. Although the old monk felt a pang of heartache, he could only think positively for now.

————————————————————————

"Master, the person we sent to follow that old bald donkey just reported that the old fellow went to Wang Fu's mansion tonight!"

"Wang Fu?"

Hearing Zhang Ruhui's words, Lin Lingsu's brow immediately furrowed.

Although thanks to Han Mo, his arch-rival Cai Jing had been sent away, his crisis had not been resolved.

Especially after the incident of arguing with the Crown Prince a few days ago, even Lin Lingsu himself had to admit that he had been too impulsive.

Although the Crown Prince did not have many powerful figures around him, he was, after all, the Crown Prince of a country.

By doing so, he had truly put himself in a precarious position.

However, since the deed was done, it was too late to regret it now.

"Should we..."

As Zhang Ruhui spoke, he sinisterly made a throat-cutting gesture with his right hand.

"If you really do that, you will truly fulfill that old fellow's wish!"

Killing people was never a solution to problems.

Lin Lingsu hesitated for a moment and immediately rejected Zhang Ruhui's suggestion.

After all, this was Bianliang City. Regardless of whether Zhang Ruhui's plan could succeed, even if it did, could they really do it flawlessly?

What if even a little bit of information leaked out? It would be a disaster for the entire Shenxiao Sect.

On the contrary, if that old monk Dao Jian were to die at the hands of these Taoists, it could be imagined that this old fellow would immediately become a legendary figure in Buddhist history.

"But what if Wang Fu colludes with him? What will we do..."
