Chapter 782: Tongji Fufa
"Monk Tongji turned out to be a murderer!"
Almost everyone was in an uproar when they heard the news, before everyone believed in the Great Mercy and Grace Temple, the concept of compassion for the monks, but when they learned that the Tongji monk was actually a murderer, after the news of the sin shaving ordination, they couldn't help but be shocked, and then contact the tragedy of the Zhao couple, the perception of the Great Mercy and Grace Temple in their hearts has decreased sharply, after all, the Buddhists have always claimed to be benevolent, but now they have hidden the murderer privately, this contrast is too great.
"How is this possible?" Some believers were incredulous.
"This is the personal testimony of Dr. Han, but there is sufficient evidence." More people believe in Han Zheng, and Han Zheng has repeatedly popularized the knowledge of Legalism in the legal column of the ink magazine, and has long had a large number of loyal Legalist fans by choosing classic cases to educate the world.
This is also Han Zheng's intentional guidance, and these Legalist fans are probably the seeds of the future Legalists.
"Knowing people and knowing faces but not knowing their hearts, Buddhist temples also have places to hide dirt and dirt." Everyone couldn't help but sigh, no one thought that the Legalists would stand up and give the Great Ci'en Temple a fatal blow.
Just when the ink magazine detonated Chang'an City, Cao Li, the head catcher of Chang'an County, had already led the elite to attack the Great Ci'en Temple.
"This is the important place of Buddhism, you can wait for it to break in!" The abbot of mercy and grace saw Cao Zhutou who broke in, and suddenly shouted.
Cao Zhutou couldn't help but sneer in his heart when he saw the abbot of Ci'en, others didn't know the details of the Great Ci'en Temple, but Cao Li, as the head catcher of Chang'an County, was so well-informed about the news, and naturally knew that all the reports in the ink magazine were true, and the source of all this was the abbot of Ci'en.
"Lord Abbot, forgive me, Master Tongji is involved in a murder case, how can the Chang'an County Ya sit idly by, where is Master Tongji? Ben Catcher has something to ask him, and asks the abbot to make it convenient. Cao Li's heart turned, and he thought about it, the status of Buddhism is more respectful, if they forcibly block it and let Tongji escape, I'm afraid that even he has no choice but to go back and be punished.
"Cao Zhutou, the Zhao couple committed suicide, but it has nothing to do with Tongji." The abbot of Ci'en was slightly relieved, and still frowned.
At this moment, the news of the ink magazine did not reach the Great Ci'en Temple, and Master Ci'en naturally didn't know that Cao Zhutou's trip had another purpose.
"This official naturally knows, but this process is still followed, and I ask the abbot of mercy to lead the way." Cao Zhutou said vaguely, it would not be good if the Great Ci'en Temple got the news in advance and let Tongji go.
"Tongji is facing the wall in the backyard, please come with me." The abbot of mercy does not doubt other ways.
The backyard of the Great Mercy and Grace Temple.
The abbot of Ci'en led Cao Zhutou and others in, and the abbot of Ci'en pointed to a meditation room and said, "This is where Tongji faces the wall." ”
The colleague monk on the side suddenly understood, stepped forward to pat the meditation room, and said loudly: "Tongji, the abbot and Cao Zhutou of Chang'an County are here, you can get out of the customs for the time being!"
Tongji, who was originally facing the wall, was falling asleep on the soft couch, and the room was well furnished, how could there be a little bit of a bitter appearance on the wall, and he woke up suddenly when he heard a knock on the door.
"Cao Zhutou!" Tongji monk's heart trembled, and he couldn't help but feel a great fear in his heart, he was evading the pursuit of the fast catcher, so he had to escape into the empty door, all the time he saw the fast will be weak legs, even if so many years have passed, that feeling is still shrouded in his heart.
"The poor monk is thinking about the wall, come to chant for the Zhao couple, please go back!" From the closed Zen door came the voice of the monk Tongji forcibly calming down.
The abbot of Ci'en nodded, turned his head to Cao Zhutou and said, "Lord Cao, Tongji has repented and thought about it, please go back!" ”
Cao Zhutou sneered: "If everyone can be exempted from sin by thinking about it, then why do you want to catch it, give it to me!" ”
With Cao Li's order, a group of catchers slammed into the meditation room and quickly arrested the disheveled Tongji.
"What are you doing, I am a member of the Buddhist sect, and these Qiu Ba are really too deceitful!" Master Tongji said in a loud voice.
The abbot of Ci'en also suddenly turned pale, stopped Cao Li and said: "Lord Cao, what does this mean, Lao Wei has already explained, the death of the Zhao family and his wife is suicide, and the Great Ci'en Temple has also punished Tongji, why does Lord Cao still have to work hard." ”
Cao Li showed a strange smile and said, "I'm afraid Abbot Ci'en hasn't read today's ink magazine!" The master of Tongji in front of us is a murderer sixteen years ago, who has absconded so far, and he can't be caught by the head of the captor. ”
"What?" The monks of the Great Mercy and Grace Temple couldn't help but look at Tongji in disbelief, only the fellow monks and the abbot of Ci'en on the side were not too moved.
"I'm already a monk, and I'm no longer a worldly person, so you can't arrest me!" Tongji was extremely frightened, he didn't expect that the incident of sixteen years ago would still come to him, and he didn't even confess himself, and took the initiative to shout out.
When many monks of the Great Mercy and Grace Temple heard this, they suddenly stopped helping each other and hesitated.
"Do you think it's the Dharma or the national law, if everyone commits a crime and becomes a monk, then what's the use of the national law?" Cao Li shouted angrily, if the monk Tongji was dedicated to goodness after becoming a monk, he would still be a little soft-hearted, but Tongji not only did not change, but continued to be evil, forcing the Zhao couple to death, which can be said to be deserved.
"Abbot, save me!" The Tongji monk's face was pale, and he couldn't help but turn his head to ask the benevolent abbot on the side for help, just like sixteen years ago.
The abbot of mercy shook his head helplessly and said: "Yesterday's cause, today's effect, it should come, it will always come, you have escaped for sixteen years, it's time to pay it back." ”
He saved Tongji once, but he couldn't save Tongji for the second time, and now the Great Ci'en Temple is being targeted by the ink magazine, if he harbors Tongji again, I'm afraid even the Great Ci'en Temple can't be saved.
The Tongji monk suddenly turned pale, and in the end, his last reliance on Buddhism also gave up on him.
"Farewell!" Cao Li saw that the monks hesitated, and did not hesitate to put shackles on the Tongji monk at the moment, and said goodbye.
After a group of officials left, the entire Great Ci'en Temple was silent, this is probably the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, the first time the government from the Buddhist temple to prison monks, although Tongji has its own way to die, but it is a great blow to the reputation of the Buddhist family.
"Go, get me today's ink!" The abbot of mercy suppressed his anger and said, Rao is the first time he has been so angry after cultivating his mind and cultivating his mind for so many years.
Soon, a little novice ran out, and after a while came in a hurry, handing the Abbot of Mercy a copy of the ink magazine.
"Legalist! The Mo family, there is really no one in the Buddhist family who deceived me! ”
Looking at Han Zheng's signature on the ink magazine, Abbot Ci'en couldn't help but say angrily.
"Abbot, what should I do now?" The colleague on the side said anxiously, although he did not deal with Tongji, but Tongji was arrested, which would damage the reputation of the Great Ci'en Temple too much.
Abbot Ci'en took a deep breath and said, "Now it is imperative to save the reputation of my Great Ci'en Temple first. ”
"Redeem your reputation?" The fellow monk couldn't help but pause, and looked at the abbot of Ci'en at a loss.
The abbot of mercy and grace looked up at the sky, and said with compassion: "I want to kill people in Tongji back then, and I want to come to the Great Ci'en Temple to kill people and rob money, under the influence of Lao G's Buddhism, I repented, put down the butcher's knife, and shaved my ordination. ”
The monk suddenly woke up, put his hands together and said: "The abbot is merciful and crosses the demon with his body, which is really a model for us. ”
The abbot of mercy sighed and said: "If I don't go to hell, whoever goes to hell, when I have to bear it, the old man will step down from the post of abbot of mercy, face the wall for ten years, and the position of abbot will be taken over by your colleagues." ”
"Abbot!" The fellow monk looked at the abbot of Ci'en in disbelief.
Ci'en said in a firm tone: "This matter has been decided. ”
"Yes!" My colleague said helplessly.
Both of them knew that if they wanted to restore the reputation of the Great Ci'en Temple, someone had to be responsible for the affairs of Tongji, and the abbot of Ci'en was the best candidate.
