Chen Yi hurriedly walked into the temple, came to Cheng Yue and saluted: "Lord, the carriages have all arrived, do you want to go back to Dadu?" ”

Cheng Yue nodded and said, "Yes." Xiang Wanze said: "I hired five hundred carriages in advance, you take people and things away, and send them back to the palace first." From today onwards, many women will be abandoned, and I will leave this matter to you, and I will do it as soon as I return. I will go into the palace with Nanbi and them to report to the Great Khan, and you wait for my news. ”

Wan Ze nodded, and together with Babahan and Nang Jiazhen, he organized the women to go outside the temple, while Liu Guojie and Xiao Zhen sent people to move the searched property to the car and send them all back to the palace first.

Nan Bi saw that Cheng Yue ordered people to move all the money and property, walked up to Cheng Yue angrily, glared at him and said, "What are you breaking this temple for?" Shouldn't this money be sent to the palace as evidence? ”

Cheng Yue frowned, and said angrily: "You mean I'm greedy for money?" Don't you need money for these women to settle? Do you know how many women and children will be abandoned on the streets after the news is made public? Don't you need money to raise it? Can you manage it? Don't the women who were killed deserve compensation? I said that I wanted to keep the Great Khan out of the matter as much as possible, and what was it to send money to the palace? If you want to take it, I'm not rare at all! ”

Nan Bi looked at Cheng Yue in a daze, and tears flowed out unconsciously. She misunderstood Cheng Yue again, this time it was likely that she really angered him, how could she and Cheng Yue come to this point?

Ta Lahai heard the quarrel, and hurriedly asked Bo Wuzhen to come over to persuade him, Ta Lahai said: "Cheng Yue, you can't talk to Nan Bi like this, she has good intentions." I'm afraid that you will be misunderstood by others. ”

Cheng Yue let out a long sigh. Xiang Nan Bi gave a deep salute and said: "The minister knows his mistake. Your Highness forgives your sins, and please retire. After speaking, he didn't wait for Nanbi to answer, and strode away, and Toulon hurriedly followed him.

Nan Bi sat silently where Cheng Yue was sitting just now, and said to Ta Lahai and Bo Yao: "Two sisters, have I done a lot of things wrong? Why can you and Cheng Yue get along well, but I just can't? ”

Bo Yao Wuzhen smiled and said: "Of course he was angry when you said that Cheng Yue was greedy for money, but he didn't know that there was so much money in the temple. Besides, when did Cheng Yue ever be greedy for money? Re-rewarding his soldiers and spending money to redeem slaves, which time was not generous? But don't worry, Cheng Yue is a big-minded person, and he quickly forgets when he gets angry. He was about to return to Lin'an, and there was not much chance of stumbling over him. ”

Nanbi smiled bitterly, and Talahai said: "Wan Ze is leaving, we also have to follow Cheng Yue, you go back and explain the matter clearly to the Great Khan, and tell Cheng Yue more." Cheng Yue won't be angry anymore. He looked stinky and hard. In fact, the heart is very soft. He gets angry when he treats you as his own, and he doesn't care when others say about him. ”

Nanbi's eyes lit up slightly, nodded, got up and walked outside the temple with Talahai.

Cheng Yue ordered Unar to leave and dispose of the corpses, tied up the captured lamas, including Jamyang Lalezhi and Gyala Hubal, and sent Chen Yi to escort them to Dadu, where they were first sent to the prison in Zhongshu Province, and waited for Cheng Yue to ask Kublai Khan for instructions.

After arranging these, Cheng Yue asked Nanbi and others to get into the carriage and return to Dadu with him.

The group was mighty, dragging the lama to run for his life. The most unlucky thing is that the living Buddha who was sent to the temple by Cheng Yue at the beginning, only lived in the temple for more than a month, and the woman didn't play much, so she was arrested together.

Both Jamyang Lalezhi and Gyala Hubal were relatively obese, and they walked extremely hard, and from time to time they would be whipped a few times, and if they had not been worried about keeping their witnesses, they would have been beaten to death.

The news that the Lotus Temple was attacked by the King of Zhennan has been spread to Dadu by the pilgrims who witnessed it, and the secret of the Lotus Temple has also been made public, but the government has not issued a notice.

The officials and people of Dadu suddenly made an uproar!

The secret of the Lotus Temple's quest for a child turned out to be this! It turns out that it is not only a slum of prostitution, but also a place of abduction and murder!

Everyone who went to beg for a child was furious, women were beaten, secrets were revealed, children were thrown aside, and roars and cries could be heard everywhere.

There are also secrets in the family, after all, the most important thing is that the son raised by himself has feelings even if he is not his own, so it is better to simply be confused and be the son given by the Buddha.

By the time Cheng Yue escorted the lama back to the city, there were crowds of spectators on both sides of the street. Cheng Yue received no less than the cheers and gratitude of the triumphant from Alimali, and the people kowtowed to him, thanking him for eliminating harm for the people, so that the concubines in the car were also honored.

Stones, leaves, tiles, rotten eggs...... No matter what it was, as long as it could be thrown at the lamas, they all beckoned to the past, and the lamas broke their heads and bleed, and they wailed again and again. In the end, he had to cover his head desperately with the sleeves of his robe, just hoping not to be killed on the spot.

Cheng Yue and Nanbi waited for the concubines to enter the palace directly and came to Yanchun Pavilion, where Kublai Khan and Chabi were waiting for him.

As soon as Kublai Khan saw Cheng Yue, he stretched out his right hand with a straight face and said, "Bring the confession!" ”

Cheng Yue took out two stacks of confessions from the lamas and the women and presented them to Kublai Khan, and then stood back and said nothing.

When Kublai Khan received the confession, he and Chabi looked at it carefully, and occasionally asked Nanbi and others. Nanbi was still angry when he stated to Kublai Khan, and said that the cruelty in the temple made people feel like they were there.

Cheng Yue couldn't help but stare at Nan Bi, Nan Bi deliberately avoided Cheng Yue's sight, and only gave Cheng Yue a gentle look with the corner of his eye.

After Kublai Khan confirmed the facts, he was extremely angry and said to Cheng Yue: "How many women have been defiled by the lamas in the temple in recent years? How many children are born? How many people have died in the temple? ”

Cheng Yue said: "I don't know, but it is roughly estimated that there are at least more than 5,000 people imprisoned by them, and there are three or four thousand children born." At the peak, there were more than 1,300 women imprisoned in the temple, and now there are more than 700, and they have given birth to nearly 2,000 babies, all of whom were killed and buried as soon as they were born, so as not to leak the news. As for the detailed number of deaths in the temple, the minister has ordered Unar to take people to dig quietly in the temple, and the specific number will be reported soon. ”

Kublai Khan slammed the table and shouted angrily: "Too much deception! Can the matter of succession be messed around like this? It's not enough, killing so many women, what do they want to do? What about Buddhist compassion? On weekdays, the Tao is sanctimonious, and Buddhism is the Tao, but in fact, it is not as good as a pig and a dog! Bastard! ”

Chabi also said angrily: "Great Khan, these lamas have lost their conscience, and now they have all the human and material evidence, and it is not enough to comfort the world if they are not severely punished!" ”

Kublai Khan nodded heavily and said, "Cheng Yue, what do you say you want to do?" ”

Cheng Yue said: "First of all, please issue a public announcement to explain the ins and outs of this matter to the people, so that the people will not fall into this evil act again." Secondly, please ask the Great Khan to issue an order to arrest all the lamas who have placed orders in the Lotus Temple, and all of them will be sentenced to death! Finally, ask the Great Khan to declare that the children are innocent and that their lives must not be harmed. The ministers have already made arrangements for other things, and ask the Great Khan to hand them over to the ministers to do. ”

Kublai Khan said: "This matter is very involved, and now that women and children have been kicked out of their homes on the street, do you want to take over?" ”

Cheng Yue nodded and said: "It is definitely better for the government to take over, the minister has already prepared, and the large amount of wealth found in the temple will be used here, and the minister is duty-bound." ”

Kublai Khan looked at Cheng Yue and said, "Where are the eight thoughts?" ”

Cheng Yue said: "The minister will go over immediately and persuade him to hand over all the people who should be handed over to the minister, and don't ask about the rest." ”

Kublai Khan said, "Are you serious? ”

Cheng Yue said: "How dare the minister deceive the king? ”

Kublai Khan nodded slightly and said, "According to your words, you handle this matter in the name of Zhongshu Province, and you must not involve others." Originally, some local officials and lamas in Tibet were dissatisfied with Ba Siba, thinking that he had surrendered to our Mongols, and if you killed him at this time, Tibet would be in chaos, and the arrangements for the eastward expedition to Japan would be delayed. ”

Cheng Yue said: "Yes, the minister knows, and he will obey the will of the Great Khan." "Get out of the palace.

Kublai Khan looked at Cheng Yue's back and sighed to Chabi: "I thought that he would return to Lin'an immediately after he got married, and he would open up to the lama, but I didn't expect him to do it." ”

Chabi was still angry, and said, "Great Khan, can you blame him for this? It's not that the lama is doing nonsense, so why did Cheng Yue bother? Where have most of the officials died? I want Cheng to take care of it, and it's not a shame to be ashamed! ”

Chabi was rarely angry like this, and Kublai Khan hurriedly comforted her: "You are right, from now on, all yamen have to control the lamas, and they can no longer ignore them. ”

Nanbi asked, "Great Khan, what about the bald hemp?" (Vulama, a Tibetan lama's prayer for the release of prisoners in prison to pray for blessings, was rightfully used by Haoqiang.) It doesn't matter if you commit a serious crime, you can be exempted from bribing the lama, which is one of the important means used by Tibetan Buddhism to collect money)

Kublai Khan was indecisive, and he didn't know what to do. Ordering the cancellation is to admit one's own fault, and if it is not canceled, I am afraid that Cheng Yue will take advantage of this to make trouble again. The matter of the Lotus Temple can be reluctantly kept out of the matter, but the bald hemp is not good, this is the eight thoughts and eight are presiding, and he can't get out, and the bald ruma presided over by the living Buddha under his command has to be counted all on his head.

Seeing this, Sa Bu smiled and said: "Don't worry, the Great Khan doesn't have to worry, Cheng Yue will definitely force the Eight Thinkers to stop being bald and reckless." Cheng Yue is right, these things are much better for him to manage than the big sweat. The Great Khan threw a rat bogey at the lama, but Cheng Yue did not have this scruples, but it was easy to do. ”

Kublai Khan recalled: "I also remembered that Cheng Yue had indeed mentioned the matter of bald hemp to Zhang Hongfan before, and it seems that he had long been dissatisfied with this. ”

Cha Bi said: "It's good to have Cheng Yue give the lama a little color, lest the lama think that we Mongolians can be bullied, and the women in the world are their playthings, and they can be disposed of at will!" ”

Kublai Khan nodded and did not speak again. (To be continued......)
