Nima took several Kashag officials, accompanied by a respectable old lama, to the stone steps in front of the main hall of the western suburban temple.In the square under the stone steps, all the lamas were surrounded by crimson red. Everyone whispered and whispered, not knowing what happened.It is already the 1950s. The old lama said loudly: "Please be quiet! The Kaxag government has an important order to announce to everyone." All of a sudden the audience fell silent, and all the bald heads in the square stared at the old lama and the officials.Nima took out a roll of parchment from his bosom, and began to read: "Gaxag government order: The snowy Buddhist land is unfortunate, the Red Han army from the inland is advancing towards our Jinsha River border, threatening Lhasa Buddha and my snowy Buddhist great cause At this time of crisis, the Regent Daza and the Kaxag government ordered all monks and nuns in Lhasa to recite the curse sutra for one month from now on, cursing the wicked enemies of Buddhism, preventing them from advancing to Lhasa, and making our Buddhist kingdom Turning the corner into safety..."

The order of the Kaxag government spread throughout Lhasa, and the Zongben of Qushui also came to the Ama Watchtower and announced to Baima and others: "The Kaxag has an order to recruit men between the ages of 16 and 60 to go to the Jinsha River and the Red Han people. For the war, your manor will send out 20 male messengers, each with a horse, a gun, and a pair of boots. From now on, report to the Zong government." Baima and Gangzhu listened carefully, and behind them stood a group of servants, old and young, all bent over and listening attentively. After Zong Ben finished reading the announcement, he looked around.Suddenly, an English radio voice came from nowhere: "... So far, the army in Lhasa has liberated all areas except Lhasa and Taiwan. The era of the Chiang dynasty is over, and the People's Liberation Army in the mainland is actively preparing to The Battle of Crossing the Sea was the final blow to Chiang Kai-shek. U.S. President Truman issued a statement announcing that the U.S. government had decided to use force to prevent the Mainland People's Liberation Army from attacking Taiwan..."

Zongben felt puzzled when he heard the voice, and looked around.Baima explained: "Master Zongben, my dad is listening to the radio, it's the sound of the radio." Zongben was displeased, so he stuffed the notice into Baima's hand and took them away. Tashi was lying on the high haystack, looking very decadent, he was listening to the radio in his hand attentively.On the radio was a BBC broadcast: "...According to other news, the U.S. Seventh Fleet has been ordered by President Truman to march toward the coast of Taiwan. The newly established Chinese government Foreign Minister Zhou Enlai also issued a statement, accusing the U.S. government of China's sovereignty and territory. armed violation of the . . . "

Baima walked under the haystack and climbed up the ladder. He pointed his head and said, "Dad, they're all gone." "Yeah." Tashi snorted. Baima didn't leave or move, she was still standing on the ladder. Seeing that Baima was still standing there, Tashi said impatiently, "Didn't you leave? I know... Do you understand?" "I don't quite understand, Dad, what's the news?" As soon as Tashi reached out to take the radio, he straightened his back and slid down the edge of the haystack.Baima said anxiously: "Dad, wait for me, you wait for me." He hurried down along the wooden ladder.

Tashi shook off the grass clippings on his body, and said to Baima who came running, "I know why you came to me." "What are you doing?" "The Kashag has conscripted, are you itching again?" "I'm a soldier. I'm in trouble in the snowy region. I should respond to the call of the Kaxag government..." "Respond to fart! I think you have forgotten the pain before you have pulled out the knife in your heart. What kind of people are in the Kaxag government? Shameless, corrupt, and depraved people, it's too late, there is nothing to defend!"

"Dad, have you completely lost faith in the great cause of politics and education in Lhasa?" "Politics and education and the Kashag government are two different things. Do you know who the People's Liberation Army is on the other side of the Jinsha River? They are Liu Bocheng and Deng Xiaoping. I heard a BBC report last year. They wiped out more than half a million of Chiang Kai-shek's troops in just one Huaihai campaign. Equivalent to half the population of Lhasa." "Lhasa does not believe in religion. They came to Lhasa to exterminate religion and family."

"Will Lhasa destroy my Buddhism? ... Or send someone to Lhasa to inquire about it before we talk about it." "Dad, I can't stay at home all day. These years, I want to go to the pack team with Basang and the others, but you won't let me go; I will go to India to do business, but you won't let me! Keep me at home again, and I will become useless." "I'm doing it for your own good. Daza and those people want to kill me. It's impossible to guard against it. If you run around, it's just a chance for them." After finishing speaking, Tashi walked away angrily.

Baima chased after him, pulled Tashi and said, "Dad, you are a disciple of the Buddha. The time has come to defend the cause of politics and education. We can't stand by and just let me go. Don't treat me like a child anymore." "If you want to go, go, I won't stop you!...Go!" Tashi said angrily. Baima was also annoyed, he turned around angrily and left. Looking at his back, Zhaxi relaxed a lot, and said to himself: "The eagle's wings have grown strong, I must let him fly, go, fly for a while." The next day, Baima picked twenty smart and capable young servants from the manor, including Bianba. They gathered in front of the yard with dry food and guns, ready to set off.Duoji's father and Yangjin's mother reluctantly came to send Baima off.

Baima looked around, but there was no sign of Tashi, he said, "Grandpa, Dad is really angry, he won't come out to see me off when I leave." "That's right, the child is going to fight in the front line, so why don't you give him away, I'll call him." Father Duoji muttered to leave. Gang Zhu stepped forward to stop him and said, "Grandpa, don't go, the master rode away before dawn." "What did he do?" "I don't know, he won't let me follow." Baima was a little sad when he heard this, and he set off with his servants.

In fact, Tashi didn't sleep all night, and went to the neighboring manors to find out the situation before dawn. Kaxag's conscription order is irreversible, and all manors have sent people to the front line in Qamdo.Facing the overwhelming situation, Tashi can only pray for Baima and the others in his heart.He stood on the hill, facing the wind, watching Baima and his party gradually go away. Cigarettes are lingering in the solid-colored Buddha Hall of Norbulingka, and a séance ceremony that determines the fate of Lhasa is being held, with a solemn and mysterious atmosphere.There is an altar in the center of the main hall. Master Naiqiong is dancing wildly, wearing a high crown cap, a red satin dress and a goggle hanging on the chest, with a flag on his back and a law enforcement device in his hand.Senior monks and lay officials, such as Tudenggrad, Great Khenpo, Living Buddha, Daza Steward, stood behind the altar and waited.

Master Naiqiong continued to dance wildly, possessed by the gods, and said loudly: "There is trouble in the snowy region, you should bless the Three Jewels, recite scriptures more, and you will be safe." After the master finished speaking, he was about to retreat. Steward Daza hurriedly stepped forward to stop him and said, "This time, the Great God is asking for guidance on important matters related to the good and bad of all living beings, the survival of politics and religion in Lhasa. I am a mortal with naked eyes, and it is really difficult to solve the problem. I hope the Great God will show his wisdom and make it clear." Master Naiqiong was sweating profusely, trembling all over, spit out some incomprehensible words, and the gods around him memorized them seriously.Everyone looked nervous, only Tudengele looked at Shenhan treacherously, turned and left.When he came outside the Buddhist hall, he met Kangsa rushing with two officials. Gele stopped him and said, "Master Kalon, you are late." "Too late?" Kangsa asked. "Master Naiqiong is doing things inside, and it has already begun." "what's the result?" "The Regent of Daza has brought so many disasters to Lhasa in the snowy land. Can Buddhas and Bodhisattvas be invisible in the sky? Do you still need to ask? The omniscient and omnipotent Lhasa Lama is the supreme treasure of the wisdom of all living beings in Lhasa. Now only the little Buddha is in charge. Only then can we solve the crisis in the snowy region.” Kangsa was sweating, and he asked eagerly, "Little Buddha is going to take charge of the government?" "Go in and have a look." "Little Buddha is only sixteen today, not yet old enough to govern." "The Great God has issued a decree, who dares to defy it." "We should obey God's will and let Lhasa Buddha be in charge. This is also a great blessing for the people of Lhasa." Kangsa said, bypassing Gele and entering the Buddhist hall. Several officials approached Gele and said with a sneer: "Daza has collapsed, and Kangsa Kalon will have no hope." In the Buddhist hall, the Dharma name was uttered, and then all the officials shouted in unison: "Congratulations to the Buddha of Lhasa for taking power." The eastern part of Lhasa with Qamdo as the center has been liberated, and the main force of the Tibetan army has been basically wiped out.Daza Regent's resistance policy failed completely, so he had to announce his abdication, and the young Lhasa lama officially took over the Lhasa regime. Tashi and Gangzhu were walking on the country road. From a distance, they saw the housekeeper Rinchen and his servants hurrying along. They were driving three mules, each of which had a heavy load on its back. Tashi stepped forward to say hello: "Housekeeper Rinchen, where are you going?" Housekeeper Rinchen trotted forward and asked respectfully, "Master Dele, why did I meet you here?" "This is my hometown, let's go back to the manor and have a bowl of tea together." "No, no, I'm in a hurry." "The master invites you, so you go, you are in a hurry, and you are too busy to reincarnate." Gangzhu said. "Butler Gangzhu is still in the mood to tell jokes. Master Dele, you may not know that in the countryside, the Red Han army has already stationed in Bomi and Bianba, not far from Lhasa. The master and the wives are not convinced. Let me run to the manor in the south." "I also know a little bit about the situation, over there in Lhasa..." "The sun set as soon as I said that, and I'm still in a hurry, so I won't delay you." "Didn't the Red Han people not arrive in Lhasa yet? It scares you. If you say half a sentence and leave half a sentence, you won't be afraid of choking on it in your mouth." Gangzhu said dissatisfied. "Think about it too, move to the south. Master Dele, master housekeeper, take your leave." After the housekeeper Rinchen finished speaking, he drove the mule away. "Listening to his words, it's like smelling burnt wool, which has an ominous smell." Gangzhu said looking at his back. "Gang Zhu, guess what is in his pack?" "Is it... gold and silver soft?" "You don't need to guess. All the nobles in Lhasa are dumping their things in the manor outside. Maybe all the valuable possessions in Tudenggrad are on that mule. Does the housekeeper dare to delay?" "This is preparing to run! Master, let's make plans early." Gangzhu said nervously. "Where do you want to run? Master Baima is still on the front line in Changdu. We ran away. Where did he find us?" Tashi felt uneasy, he went back to the watchtower, leaned on the mat, looked up at the sky, thinking.The radio on the table is still broadcasting in English from the BBC: "...London's "Worker's Daily" commented that just as Wales is a part of Britain, Lhasa is also a part of China. The troops of the new Chinese government entered Lhasa, just like the English Lhasa team entered Like the seaside city of Caernarfon, there is nothing to blame... Britain has no reason to support the El Salvador government's proposal to discuss the Lhasa issue at the United Nations Headquarters in New York, and the Soviet ambassador has already protested..." Tashi got up, pulled the world map printed in India on the table, and he looked at it seriously.After a while, he sat back on the mat, tuned the radio, and finally found an Indian English broadcaster: "...According to well-informed sources, the Lhasa delegation came to New Delhi not long ago, and they requested the Indian government to mediate between Lhasa and China. Prime Minister Nehru gave a straightforward answer, saying that there is no sufficient reason to prove that Lhasa belongs to Lhasa, and the Indian government will follow the policy towards Tibet during the British rule, that is, to regard Lhasa as a part of China..." Gangzhu ran in panting, and hurriedly said: "Master, master, I saw the pack team of Lhasa Charong's family and Dekang family on the official road outside the village. They are all heading south. It seems that it is really imminent." gone." "Why are you panicking?" "The Red Han people are really going to attack Lhasa, so what should we do? Don't be afraid, you have to think about the old man and the old lady. I heard that the Red Han people kill people without blinking an eye. Our Tibetan army was beaten up by them..." "What are you talking about?" Seeing Tashi's serious face, Gangzhu stopped talking. Tashi thought for a while, then got up suddenly and said, "Okay, pack up your things, and we'll go too." "Really." Gangzhu turned around and ran happily. "Come back, we haven't finished yet." "I sent someone to inform the Kalimpong business house in India, so that they are ready to welcome the master..." "Instead of going to India, let's go to Lhasa." "Ah? To Lhasa?...Master, everyone is going out, why do you go in?" "Speak up! Whoever likes to run away, that's their business, we'll go to Lhasa. I'll tell the old man and old lady to leave them at home and settle down. You choose some servants and bring two tents. We're leaving tomorrow." Tashi and Gangzhu rushed to Lhasa with a few servants. They stopped in front of the Mani pile by the Lhasa River. Gangzhu gathered the servants to set up tents and make tea.A poor man with a leather apron hanging on his chest was kowtowing towards the Potala Palace. He kowtowed as he walked, very pious.A family of nobles, old and young, was walking in the opposite direction with several packs, and they were fleeing Lhasa.Looking at the scene in front of him, Tashi was full of thoughts, and he looked towards the Potala Palace in the distance. Gangzhu saw that Tashi stood there without moving for a long time, so he ran over and asked, "Master, haven't you seen enough of Baby Ruyi's palace?" "I haven't been back for several years, and the city has changed a lot." "I'll start a business right now. After you finish eating, I'll accompany you into the city to have a look." "I'll eat when I come back, let's go now and go to the city to have a look." The two walked away as they said, and arrived at the streets of Lhasa in a short while. They looked around and looked around. The ancient city of Lhasa was still there, but the road was very poor, and the conscription notices on the walls had been blown to pieces and mottled by the wind. "You don't want to go back to Dele Mansion?" Tashi asked Gangzhu. "I'm afraid you'll be upset." "Annoying, I have to go back and have a look. If it's not for the old mansion of Dele Mansion, what am I doing here?" "You came back because of our old mansion? Master, I have been thinking about it all these years, and I have dreamed about it several times. What a beautiful mansion, it won't be ruined by that wolf cub Paka ?” "Lead the way ahead." Gangzhu showed his fighting spirit, and said angrily, "I don't need to tell you, I know that this house was left by the ancestors of the Dele family, so we should take it back." At this time, Pajia was playing awe-inspiring in the courtyard of Dele Mansion. He came to the maid who was grinding the tsampa, stretched out his hand and squeezed a pinch of tsampa and put it in his mouth to taste.Suddenly, he spat on the female slave's face with a mouthful, and shouted, "What's the smell?" The female slave stood up in fright, bowed her waist, and dared not speak. "No, absolutely not! Is this the tsampa for Delekalon?" "Master, it's always been this formula, and this slave doesn't know anything else." The maid said tremblingly. "Trying to fool me! The tsampa I ate in Dele Mansion didn't taste like this." "I didn't lie to the master, I didn't lie to the master." "How dare you speak hard! These years, all of you who have been dumped by the Dele's family have not regarded me as your master one by one...you deserve to be beaten!" Paka kicked the tsampa to the ground, grabbing Beat the female slave. The servants working nearby were too frightened to speak out, and watched the female slave being beaten by him. Pajia was tired, so he said, "Tonight you will eat the tsampa on the ground and lick it clean." He walked towards the main building angrily. The servant guarding the gate suddenly whispered to the other servants with joy on his face: "Master is back, Master Dele is here." Paka didn't go far, and when he heard whispers behind him, he looked back.Seeing the servants running towards the door, he felt strange and stopped to watch. The servants surrounded Tashi, bowed their heads to salute him, and held on to his lapel.Touched, Tashi asked kindly, "How are you doing? Is the new master treating you well?" The beaten female slave cried and said, "Master, after you leave, our life will be as dark as the bottom of a pot, and we will not be able to live." Pajia came over and yelled: "Go to work, go to work! What are you doing at the door... Oh, isn't this Master Dele, when did you come?" "No, I just arrived in Lhasa, so I came to see Lord Paka." Tashi said. Pajiadun felt embarrassed, so he had to say: "Please, please, let's go back to the old place." "I have to go into the courtyard and see the flowers and grass in my yard. How are you serving me?" Tashi said, lifting his legs into the yard like a master. On the steps of the main building, some earthenware flower pots were randomly piled up. There were no flower branches in them, and weeds were overgrown.Tashi picked up a flowerpot to look at it, and said wanly: "What a pity, what a pity! The roses planted in these flowerpots were rare things back then. Mr. Pajia, why did you raise them to death?" "What's so good about the broken branches and leaves? There are thorns on the branches, which are bad for hands. I have someone pull them out." Pajia said disapprovingly. Tashi turned his head and saw the stables, and he said, "The stables in your yard are about to collapse, and you don't repair them." Pa Jia heard something wrong, he asked: "Tashi, did you come back to Lhasa to find trouble?" "The house is all yours. What else can I find trouble with? This is to remind you to take care of you. Such a beautiful house, don't live in it. You won't be able to sell it when the time comes. Ask for the price... I've lived in this mansion for a long time, I'm really thinking about it, I'll go in and have a look." "I wanted to invite you in for a cup of tea, but now I've changed my mind." Paka stopped him and said. "I came all the way, and I don't even reward you with a bowl of butter tea? Master Pajia, although I, Tashi, came from a servant background, I also know how to treat guests from a nobleman. You are from a higher family than me, from a small noble family. Haven’t learned the etiquette of Lhasa nobles? Then I won’t drink tea, you let me go in and see, the living room, the bedroom, what do you live in?” "I heard what you said, you want to buy a house?" "Master Paka is simply a nematode in my stomach. I have such a small thought, and you can hear it before I say it." "Tashi, let me tell you, ever since I, Paka, lived in this mansion, I have never thought of moving out. Don't dream about it! Butler, see off the guests!" After Paka finished speaking, he turned and entered the main building. Gangzhu scratched his neck and shouted: "Master Pajia, why don't you invite us to drink a bowl of tea? My master wants to buy this mansion back. When will you make up your mind, send someone to tell us..." Tashi and Gangzhu were invited out of the courtyard by the housekeeper, and the servants stood at the door and watched them go away reluctantly. Gangzhu said dissatisfiedly as he walked: "This Paka is really a pile of pig shit. Look at how he ruined the Dele Mansion. He treated it as a pig's nest. Master, you are so lucky that you didn't enter the building." Go, otherwise, how distressed it is..." "When you take it back, you have to tidy it up for me." Tashi thought about it. "Master, you really made up your mind to take back the Dele Mansion, that would be great!" "I won't go back to Lhasa this time. I don't want to live in a tent by the river forever." "I have to help you figure it out, Paka, a black-hearted fellow, will definitely open his mouth!" Tashi said contemptuously: "The lion opened his mouth? Yes! Be careful not to break his teeth!" The next day, Tashi took Gangzhu to visit Kangsa Galon.After the two exchanged greetings and sat down, Kangsa asked with a puzzled face, "What are you doing back to Lhasa when people are panicking?" "Master Kangsa, are you not sure about the outcome of the battle?" Tashi asked worriedly. "The Red Han people are as hard as the stones on the river beach, and we are as soft as the tsampa in the bag. How can we fight this battle? Governor Ngapoi has already lost the battle in Qamdo. He sent people back to ask for peace talks, but the Kashags are still hesitant. They appealed to the United Nations If they can intervene, they can count on the US to send troops to stop the Red Han people from entering Tibet." "American soldiers? No matter how long their hands are, they can't reach Lhasa, right?" "I think so too. All the big and respectable people in Lhasa are planning to retreat. Master Dele, others want to escape quickly enough, but you came here uninvited." "I came back to Lhasa only when I saw the right time. When the situation is changing, it is also the day to seek justice for Deji." Kangsa froze for a moment, and then said sadly: "Mrs. Dele's death is really disturbing. I also asked the lama to recite sutras for her... You don't believe me when I say that?" "Why don't you believe it?" "After all... this matter needs to be investigated clearly, otherwise, I will follow along unclearly." Tashi said nothing. "Do you suspect that I ordered someone to do it?" Kangsa asked. "Impossible. Master Kangsa has no grievances with me, but we have become relatives because of that child of Yangzong. How could you instigate someone to do such an outrageous thing?" "I'm so grateful that you think so." Mei Duo entered the living room, and she stepped forward to salute: "Good luck, Mr. Dele." "It's Miss Meadow." Tashi said. "Thank you for reassuring Dad. Over the years, Dad has often felt guilty about this matter, and he has often been criticized by others. He sent people to look for that dog slave of Tsewang many times, but to no avail." "Did Tsewang come back to your house?" "No. Tsewang is my personal servant. I asked him to see off his relatives. After he went, he never came back." Tashi thought about it, and said, "His body was not found at the scene of the explosion...he is missing." "I understand. Master Dele came to my door this time to ask for someone." Kangsa said in embarrassment. "The gift box containing the bomb was given to me by Tsewang himself. He said it was a gift from the Rinpoche Doji Ling. Of course, this is a lie. Now, only by finding him can we find out the real murderer." "I don't know whether this damn slave is dead or alive. If I catch him, I will definitely skin him." Kangsa said angrily. "Actually who the murderer is is self-evident. Tsewang is just a witness." "I see, you mean... they are the murderers?" "Master Kangsa, the Dele family didn't have any enmity with anyone else, who would hold grudges against us? It's nothing more than the villain who lives in the Dele mansion." "You mean that Pajia... makes sense. He climbed up by relying on me, and he also climbed up the relationship with the regent of Daza. The villain will succeed, and the villain will succeed! He is now a fifth-rank city official. If If we can't find any evidence, it's really hard to touch him." "Pajia today is entirely dependent on your support, Master Kangsa. I want to seek justice for Deji this time. Are you willing to help me?" "Of course, of course. Not only to help you, but also to help me clear myself up." Kangsa's words confirmed Tashi's judgment on Paka.After the downfall of Daza Regent, Kangsa Kalon received a cold reception, and Pajia also lost his former backer.The moment that Tashi has been waiting for for many years has finally arrived. He can comfort Deji's spirit in heaven. "Master Dele, is there any news about Dawa Yangzong?" Mei Duo asked. "No." "Why did she leave without saying goodbye?" "do not know either." "It's so strange, why didn't Marco Bai come?" "He took his slaves to the front line of Qamdo, and I was worried. I came to Lhasa this time to inquire about Baima." "When did he go? I heard that Lhasa is a devil. When they ran out of rice, they ate horse meat and donkey meat, and slaughtered the old, weak, sick and disabled." Gangzhu couldn't bear it anymore, and interjected: "I heard that too, I'm really worried about Master Baima." "Dad, send someone to ask, where is Baima now?" Mei Duo said. "Girl, Master Dele, don't worry, I'll ask, I'll ask right away." Gangzhu and his servants were changing the prayer flags on the mani pile. They pulled the rope and ran around. The new prayer flags fluttered in the wind, dazzlingly bright.Tashi sat in front of the tent with folded hands, chanting scriptures quietly.Gangzhu suddenly ran over and said, "Master, look someone is coming over there." Tashi stood up and watched, there was indeed a master and a servant walking towards them, and it was Sha Jia.Seeing Tashi stepping forward, Xia Jia saluted and said, "Master Dele, it's me, do you still know me?" Tashi looked carefully, and he said excitedly, "You are Xia Jia, right? Xia Jia? Nima Tsering, I haven't seen you for so many years." "Master Dele, you haven't forgotten me, I kowtow to you." Xia Jia said and wanted to kneel down. Tashi stopped him and said apologetically, "Wan vulgar, avoid vulgar. Back then, I was the one who harmed you, so how dare I accept such a big gift from you." He asked Xia Jia to sit down in front of the tent. "Back then I was sentenced to exile by the Rinchen gang and escorted to Ngari, where I almost lost my life. The year before last, Kashag issued an amnesty order and took me back from Ngari." Xia Jia said. "It's good to come back, it's really a blessing from Buddha and Bodhisattva." Suddenly, Xia Jia's eyes turned red, and he looked embarrassed. He knelt down in front of Tashi, choked up and said, "Master Dele, do you still remember me..." He was speechless. Tashi helped him up again, and asked with concern: "What's the matter with you? Did something happen?" "I heard that your business in India . . . has flourished again in recent years." "You want to do business, no problem, I can help you." "I made Master Dele laugh, how can I do business, I think...the current situation is so turbulent, I have been exiled for so many years, my father is gone, and there is only an old and sick grandmother left, I If I can't take care of her well, I really feel ashamed..." "Don't get excited, tell me, what are you going to do?" "I want to take my family to India, but I have no money. Master Dele is kind, can you lend me some Indian rupees? Otherwise, how can I live abroad?" "Lhasa is so big, it's all right to leave Lhasa and hide for a while. Why do you want to go to India?" Xia Jia looked around, leaned closer to Tashi, and said in a low voice, "Buddha is also planning to go to India. He is making preparations. The Kaxag government has already transported more than 300 loads of gold and silver treasures to Sikkim." "how do you know?" "I was assigned by the Kashag to work in the telecommunications department. My British boss, Fox, sent and received overseas telegrams every day." "Who's Fox?" "Back then, the operator of the British Office in Lhasa had a radio station and was a spy." "What did the telegram say?" "Shagba Ziben has been active in India for a long time, and he is in Kalimpong preparing the plan for Lhasa Buddha to go to India. The villa where Buddha lives has been booked. It won't be too long...Leave as soon as you say." Tashi took a deep breath and murmured, "Unexpectedly, my lord of Xueyu will also leave." "At this time, it's really inappropriate for me to borrow money. I brought the deed of the house and put it on you." "It's impossible..." Tashi declined. "If you don't want it, then you don't intend to lend me money." "Don't worry, I'll write a letter, how much money do you need, go to Kalimpong, India to find the shopkeeper of my company." Tashi beckoned, Gangzhu brought an ink box and a bamboo pen, and Tashi began to write. After returning from Kangsa Mansion, although Tashi had gained confidence, he was always frowning, because Pajia was also a difficult opponent.Xia Jia's arrival gave him a flash of inspiration, and a whole set of plans quickly formed in his mind. Tashi handed the written letter to Xia Jia and said: "The address of the shop has been written in the letter, and the shopkeeper will give you the money when he sees the letter." Xia Jia received the letter and said gratefully: "Master Dele, you are really my benefactor, then I will go back." Tashi grabbed the deed on the table and handed it to him, saying, "Take the deed back." "No, no." Xia Jia led the servants and ran away in a hurry. Gangzhu looked at Xia Jia who was walking away, and muttered: "Master, you are so generous, what's the use of asking for his broken house at this time?" "The petition activities back then caused Xia Jia to suffer too much. I wish he could come to me. My conscience feels better." "I'm worried... If the master agrees to this offer, people who want to borrow money will come on their heels, and they will be unstoppable." "This is exactly what I want. Gangzhu, if someone asks us to borrow money, just borrow it, don't be stingy!" Gangzhu looked puzzled, and he asked, "Master..." "Don't ask, whatever you ask for, borrow!" "Master, do you really regard yourself as a living Bodhisattva?" "Talk, keep talking, I'll kick your ass!" As expected, the news that Tashi helped people cash out spread like wildfire.Anyone who has relatives or relatives will come to the door, mortgage the house, mortgage the manor, sell yaks, sheep, and barley, as long as they can be cashed in and taken away, there are all kinds of goods.Tashi hid aside, quietly waiting for that person to appear. Paka sat on the card mat in the living room of Dele Mansion and sighed. His wife came over with a bunch of keys hanging around her waist, jingling, and she asked eagerly, "Damn ghost, what's going on outside?" "It's a foregone conclusion for the little Buddha to leave India. He was expected to resist the invasion of the Red Han people. Now, no matter how wonderful the Buddha's teachings are, they can't stand up to the guns with wings." Pajia said disappointedly. "Once the Buddha is gone, we black-headed people will become children without parents and helpless." "I heard that last night the Kashag took eight golden crabs from the bottom storehouse of the Potala Palace, as well as several boxes of gold ingots, silver bricks and silver coins, which are being transported to the south." "Then what are you waiting for? Let's run as soon as the Hong Han people haven't come." "Run, where are you going? You fat girl, you have a pig's brain. Those rich and powerful families can live a luxurious life wherever they go. How much wealth can we have besides this house!" "It depends on who we compare with. If we go back to our hometown in Qamdo, we will be considered rich." "My hometown in Changdu has been occupied by the Red Han people, do you dare to go back?" Paka's wife was also discouraged, and she sat down beside him and said, "Then what should I do? Guarding this old and broken house, I can't move it, I can't carry it... Oh, damn it, I heard that the city Many families here have sold their properties and ranches to Master Dele for cash. Didn’t he come to visit the house a few days ago? I wasn’t at home at the time, or I would keep him for a meal to make connections.” "What are you doing?" "Sell this house to him again, and exchange some silver dollars, rupees, etc., and you can take it away in a box." Pajia was so angry that he shouted: "Is Tashi here to visit? He is here to humiliate me... He has ulterior motives!" Tashi and Gangzhu rode towards the tent stationed by the Lhasa River. He suddenly reined in the horse and said to Gangzhu beside him, "We have guests again." Gangzhu looked in the direction of the camp, and there were five lamas waiting outside the tent, either sitting or standing, all covered in crimson red.He muttered dissatisfiedly: "The noble lords and wives are greedy for gold and silver, and lamas are pure people, so they can't part with money." "The person I was waiting for finally came!" Tashi said with a smile on his face. "Master, aren't you waiting for Paka, let him obediently send back our mansion, I prepare my pen and ink every day, just waiting for him to come, and press his price." "Will Pajia come on his own initiative?" Tashi said, whipping Gangzhu's ass, and galloped out. When they arrived in front of the tent, Steward Daza stood up to greet them, and said with a smile on his face, "Master Dele, I have been waiting for you for a long time, and you are finally back." Tashi said deliberately exaggerated: "Oh, isn't this the steward of Daza Regent? My Lord Steward, I kowtow to you." "How dare I accept such a big gift from you." Tashi yelled at the servant: "Hata, get the khata quickly." The servant behind him immediately handed over a roll of khata. Butler.The steward hung the khata around Tashi's neck, touched his head with both hands, and blessed him. Tashi raised himself up and said, "Master the housekeeper, please sit down." He yelled at the servant again: "The housekeeper is here, why don't you wait on me well? It's so rude! How can there be green tea in this bowl? Hurry up!" Change to buttered tea." The servants all hated Daza the housekeeper, he was stubborn and refused to go. "Master butler, look at my place, it's in the wilderness, it doesn't look like it, I've wronged you." Tashi said. Steward Daza was flattered, he was a little dazed by Tashi's compliment, and said with shame: "Master Dele, I thought you were a man of enlightenment at the beginning, your heart is like musk, even though you put it under the box, It can be fragrant everywhere." "My lord, what did you smell again?" "Master Dele's immeasurable merits and virtues are spread throughout the city of Lhasa. You are always willing to help others when disaster strikes." Tashi seductively said: "Master Butler, is it possible that Daza Buddha is going to India too, and needs to exchange some silver taels?" "After Dazha Living Buddha left office, his health was not as good as before, and he has gone back to the family temple of Dazha Temple. Actually, it is me alone, and there are many disciples who want to go to India to look for the holy relics of the Buddha." "Oh, you have to go too. I think you really have to go out to avoid it. In the past, Dazha Buddha and the British had a lot of fun, and you also followed the lamp to add fuel, and you even advocated Xi La Sali. By the way , Rezhen Living Buddha is a pro-Han faction, he died in an unknown way, and the red Han people will definitely not spare you, master housekeeper, go as soon as you can." The housekeeper was embarrassed. He took out the title deeds of the manor and ranch and said, "These, and these, have been managed by me for you these past few years, and now they are returned to the original owner." "This is a gift from the Dele family to the housekeeper, there is no reason to take it back." Tashi declined. "We are all monks, how can we know how to manage manors and pastures. Master Dele, if you really want to use it as a gift and enshrine the monks and Buddhas, you might as well take them back and donate some cash as money for us Buddhist children to go to India." use." Tashi pretended to be surprised and said: "Master butler, you can really joke. I scattered gold and silver in India. In front of you, it's like a gazelle meeting a camel. It's so small." The butler was stunned, and asked puzzledly, "What do you mean by that?" “达札佛爷还有您的旗下在印度都有商号,论规模、论实力都在我扎西之上,您还在乎从我手里抠这点儿钱吗?” “我……还有达札佛爷在印度有商号?不可能啊。” “管家老爷,您忘了,当初,那阵子……我们还是心照不宣吧,别让这些欠嘴的仆人传扬出去。” “那阵子……”达札管家指着地契说,“就这些啊。” “怎么会呢,热振寺、西郊大寺犯事的喇嘛那么多人,就这些您会放人?您再想想,当时我把德勒府在噶伦堡的商号,在加尔各达银行的存款都给您送去了。” “有这事儿?”管家皱着眉头问。 “是您让帕甲大人一手办的,忘啦?……您想起来了吧。” 管家似乎明白了,他连声说:“对,对,是有这么回事儿,您不提醒我,我倒忘得干净。德勒老爷今天打扰了,我这就告辞了。” “您慢走!以后德勒府在印度的小生意还仰仗您关照呢!” “好说,好说。”达札管家带着四名喇嘛匆匆离去。 刚珠想不明白了,他凑到扎西面前问道:“老爷,咱商号什么时候顶给这老杂毛啦?” “没有吗?噢,是没有。” 刚珠恍然大悟,他开心地说:“我明白了,老爷,您是让我们等着看好戏啊。”
