"Tongji monk is a murderer!"
Almost everyone was in an uproar when they heard the news. Before, people believed in the idea of Great Mercy Temple and monks' compassion. However, when they learned that Tongji monks actually killed people, they were afraid of crime and became monks, they were shocked. Then they contacted the tragic case of Zhao and his wife, and their perception of Great Mercy Temple decreased sharply. After all, Buddhists have always claimed mercy, Now he has hidden the murderer privately, which is a great contrast.
"How is this possible?" some believers dare not believe.
"This is the personal testimony of the legalist Dr. Han, but there is sufficient evidence." more people believe that Han Zheng, Han Zheng has repeatedly popularized legalist knowledge in the legal column of Ink magazine, chose classic cases to educate the world, and has long had a large number of loyal legalist fans.
This is also Han Zheng's intentional guidance. I'm afraid these legalist fans are the seeds of Legalism in the future.
"People know their faces, but they don't know their hearts. The Buddhist temple also has a place to hide dirt and accept dirt." the people couldn't help but sigh. No one thought that the Legalists had stood up and dealt a fatal blow to Da Ci'en Temple.
When ink magazine detonated Chang'an City, Cao Li, the Constable of Chang'an County, had already led the elite to Da Ci'en Temple.
"This is an important place of Buddhism. You can break in!" abbot Ci'en shouted suddenly when he saw Constable Cao breaking in.
Constable Cao couldn't help laughing when he saw abbot Ci'en. Others didn't know the details of Da Ci'en Temple. However, as the Constable of Chang'an County Yamen, Cao Li was so smart that he naturally knew that all the reports reported by Mo magazine were true, and the source of all this was abbot Ci'en.
"Forgive me, abbot. Master Tongji is involved in the murder case. How can the county government of Chang'an ignore it? Where is master Tongji? The constable has something to ask him, and please ask the abbot for his convenience." Cao Li turned his mind and thought that the status of Buddhism is respected. If they forcibly block Tongji and let him escape, I'm afraid he can't help but go back and be punished.
"Constable Cao, Mr. and Mrs. Zhao committed suicide, but it has nothing to do with Tongji." abbot Ci'en was a little relieved and still frowned.
At the moment, the news of Mo magazine has not reached Da Ci'en Temple. Naturally, master Ci'en doesn't know. Constable Cao has another purpose for this trip.
"Of course I know, but the process is still going, and please abbot Ci'en to lead the way." Constable Cao said vaguely. It would be bad if Da Ci'en Temple got the news in advance and let Tongji go.
"Tongji is facing the wall in the backyard. Please follow me," Abbot Tzu en said without doubt.
The backyard of Da Ci'en Temple.
Abbot Ci'en led Constable Cao and others in. Abbot Ci'en pointed to a Zen room and said, "this is where Tongji faces the wall."
The fellow monk on the side immediately understood, patted the meditation room and said in a high voice: "Tongji, abbot and Constable Cao of Chang'an County are coming. You can leave the Customs for the time being!
Tongji, who was facing the wall, was sleeping on the soft couch. The room was well decorated and had everything. He didn't look bitter. He suddenly woke up when he heard a knock on the door.
"Constable Cao!" Tongji monk's heart trembled, and a great fear surged into his heart. He had to escape the pursuit of the constable in those years, so he had to escape. All the time, he would soften his legs as long as he saw the constable. Even after so many years, that feeling still shrouded in his heart.
"I'm thinking about it facing the wall. Come and chant scriptures for Mr. and Mrs. Zhao. Please come back!" a calm voice from Tongji monk came from the closed Zen door.
Abbot Ci'en nodded, turned to Cao Chutou and said, "Lord Cao, Tongji has repented and thought about his mistakes. Please go back!"
Constable Cao sneered and said, "if everyone can get rid of his sin by facing the wall and thinking about his mistakes, why should he be a Constable? Give it to me!"
With Cao Li's order, a group of captains suddenly broke into the meditation room and soon caught Tongji with untidy clothes.
"What are you doing? I'm a Buddhist. These Qiu Ba are really deceiving people too much!" master Tongji said sternly.
Abbot Tzu en also immediately sank, stopped Cao Li and said, "Lord Cao, what does this mean? I have explained that the death of Mr. and Mrs. Zhao is suicide, and the great Tzu en temple has punished Tongji. Why should Lord Cao force him hard?"
Cao Li smiled strangely and said, "I'm afraid Abbot Tzu en hasn't read today's Ink magazine! The Tongji master in front of us, however, the murderer who fled sixteen years ago, but the constable can't catch him."
"What?" the monks of Da Ci'en Temple were shocked and couldn't believe it. Only the fellow monks and Abbot Ci'en didn't move much.
"I've become a monk. I'm not a secular person for a long time. You can't catch me!" Tongji was extremely frightened. He didn't expect to find out what happened 16 years ago. He didn't even recruit himself and took the initiative to shout out.
Many monks of Da Ci'en Temple stopped helping and hesitated one after another. Now Tongji has stopped fighting. Killing is also a great sin for Buddhists.
"Do you think it's Buddhism or national law? If everyone commits a crime and becomes a monk, what's the use of national law?" Cao Li shouted angrily. If Tongji monk becomes a monk and wants to be good, he will still be a little soft hearted. But instead of changing, Tongji continues to be evil, forcing the Zhao family and his wife to death. It can be said that he deserved it.
"Abbot, help me!" the Tongji monk turned pale and asked the benevolent Abbot for help, just as he did 16 years ago.
The abbot of mercy shook his head helplessly and said, "yesterday's cause and today's fruit should come and will always come. You have escaped for 16 years. It's time to repay."
He saved Tongji once, but he couldn't save Tongji for the second time. Now the Great Mercy Temple has been targeted by ink magazines. If he harbors Tongji again, I'm afraid he can't even protect the Great Mercy Temple.
Tongji monk suddenly turned pale. In the end, his last reliance on Buddhism also gave him up.
"Farewell!" Cao Li saw that the monks hesitated. Without hesitation, he put chains on the Tongji monk and said goodbye.
After a group of Yamen servants left, the whole Da Ci'en Temple was silent. I'm afraid this is the first time that the government has imprisoned monks from the Buddhist temple since the establishment of the Tang Dynasty. Although Tongji has its own way of taking death, it has a great blow to the reputation of Buddhism.
"Go and find me today's Ink magazine!" Abbot kindness repressed his anger. Rao is the first time he has been so angry for so many years.
Soon, a little monk ran out and came in a hurry and handed abbot Ci'en an ink magazine.
"Legalists! Mohists really deceive me. There is no one in Buddhism!"
Looking at Han Zheng's signature on the ink magazine, abbot kindness couldn't help but say angrily.
"Abbot, what should we do now?" the colleague on one side said anxiously. Although he didn't deal with Tongji, Tongji was arrested, which would damage the reputation of Da Ci'en Temple too much.
Abbot Ci'en took a deep breath: "now it's urgent to restore the reputation of our great Ci'en Temple."
"Redeem your reputation?" the fellow monk looked at Abbot kindness at a loss.
Abbot Tzu Eun looked up at the sky and showed mercy to the heaven and Humanity: "after Tongji killed people in those years, he was fierce and wanted to come to daci'en temple to kill people and rob money. Under the influence of my Buddhist dharma, he repented, put down his butcher's knife and became a monk. It seems that my Buddhist Dharma is not good and failed to completely affect the magic in Tongji's heart, so he can have today's disaster. Amitabha, it's good."
Tongren monk suddenly woke up and said, "abbot is compassionate and crossing demons with his body is really a model for us."
Abbot Tzu Eun sighed, "I don't want to go to hell. If anyone goes to hell, it's my fault to help others. I'll step down as Abbot Tzu Eun and face the wall for ten years. Your colleagues will take over the position of abbot."
"Abbot!" the monk looked at Abbot kindness in disbelief.
"The matter has been settled," said kindness firmly
"Yes!" the colleague said helplessly.
They both know that if they want to restore the reputation of Da Ci'en Temple, someone must be responsible for Tongji, and Abbot Ci'en is the best candidate.
