Looking at the people kneeling on the ground who had nowhere to go, Xie Zhongda suddenly had a different thought in his heart.

Speaking of which, after Xie Zhongda killed the people from the Black Clothing Club, he knew that the Black Clothing Club would never let him go. In addition, he was a wanted criminal by the government, so the black and white roads had no place to live.

After thinking about it, he finally thought of only one way out, that is, becoming a monk.

The Buddha said: Put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the spot. Monks have always believed in this, so even the most unforgivable people, they usually give opportunities to guide them on the right path.

However, this also caused many illegal people who wanted to run to the temple after committing the crime, trying to avoid the government's pursuit, rather than really wanting to correct their mistakes.

In order to prevent this phenomenon from happening, governments of all dynasties have also introduced many policies to fill this loophole.

Among them, the most important thing is the emergence of the magistrate system.

The certificate of the sacrificial certificate and the certificate of the monk are issued by the government and can only be obtained by passing the assessment of the government. The monks who obtain the certificate of the sacrificial certificate can be exempted from taxes and labor according to law. It can be said that basically every monk must have.

Although the existence of the sacrificial certificates has exempted monks from taxes and labor, turned them into special groups, and reduced the collection of many taxes, it has also strengthened the government's control over monks.

Because of the emergence of interests, this leads to the fact that monks without covenant certificates will not be accepted by other temples.

Because only monks with certificates can be exempted from taxes and labor, while monks without certificates need to pay taxes and serve, but monks do not have to do business, so where do they get the money they pay? In the end, they will be transferred to the temple.

This allows the court to control the quality of monks in the temple through covenant certificates and reduce the phenomenon of tainted defilement among monks by increasing the conditions for issuing covenant certificates.

In the Ming Dynasty, this was even worse. In addition to those who violated the law, Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, also stipulated that "a certificate is issued every three years, and monks will be ordered to go to Beijing for examinations, and those who do not understand the classics will be dismissed." It can be said that it further strengthened the court's control over monks and Taoists.

However, everything is not necessary. Even if the court continues to strengthen its control over monks in the temple, the sky is high and the emperor is far away. If there is a monk who is really determined to ordain someone and hide him in the temple for private practice, it will be difficult for outsiders to discover it, and the people in the temple may not make any noise.

However, this situation is very rare. In addition, for Xie Zhongda, the wanted court is still secondary. What is more important is that this temple must protect him from being chased by the people of the Black Club, which is the most important thing.
