Chapter 1141

Cui Zhonglei sighed, sat up straight, patted the startling wood, and said in a loud voice: "in the past nine years, pan LAN, the evil thief, has committed many heinous crimes in Lan county, such as robbing fertile land, seizing houses, robbing people's children, and so on, which has made people angry. My official said today: the people of the whole county only have grievances to redress and revenge. Whenever there is a complaint against pan LAN, my official will visit every case, correct any mistakes, compensate for any losses, and keep the popularity of the people and the resentment of the common people.

This is not only the promise of the official, but also the original intention of the court. However, it has been said that I have just arrived here, and there are a lot of accumulated cases in the Yamen. If we want to end all of them, it may not be possible in one day. I hope you can spare some time. But you can relax. I will do what I say. Anyone who is wronged will be punished! Justice will not be late, it will always be done! If not, I would rather take off the black hat on my head! "

As soon as the words came out, the audience was excited, and the women and girls screamed: "Mr. Cui is powerful! Lord Cui is so powerful

The Yamen servants knew that Cui Da was a handsome man, but seeing countless girls crazy about him, they could not help biting their lips, shaking their heads, and said in a loud voice, "how can you make noise in the court? Shut up

One of the girls said, "bah! I'm not yelling at you! I'm just yelling at Lord Cui. What's the matter with you? "

Yamen said: "bold! Can you shout the name of Mr. Cui? "

The girl said, "I want to shout. What can you do for me? Ah, Mr. Cui, you are so handsome - "

the crowd couldn't help laughing, and the Yamen officer quickly dragged the girl down with coax and persuasion.

Cui Zhonglei couldn't laugh or cry. He cleared his throat and was about to speak when he saw four monks whispering in the corner.

He asked Wang man softly: "do you see the four monks?"

Wang man looked at it and said, "see, those rotten monks! It's not a good thing to see! "

The cheers are still there, and the four monks are still discussing something.

When the cheers stopped, the four monks squeezed out of the crowd and cried out, "my Lord, we have grievances to sue!"

Cui Zhonglei said, "who are you? And move forward so that I can see clearly. "

The four men approached the case. Cui Zhonglei took a look and saw that all four of them were born with sharp mouths and dirty eyes. He knew that they were not good people.

Four monks knelt down in front of the hall.

Cui Zhonglei asked, "who are you?"

Kneeling on the second one, he Shang said, "if you tell me, we are monks from Daxiong temple in the west of the city. I am the oldest of the four. Let me go back and forth today."

Cui Zhonglei said, "what are your grievances?"

Nahe Shangdao: "I know the name of my Dharma, and I rank first among all the disciples. These three are my second, third and fourth younger martial brothers. The four brothers have been monks in Daxiong temple for more than five or six years. They practice hard all day long. There is nothing valuable in the whole temple except a gold statue of Avalokitesvara with thousand hands. Four of my brothers worship day and night, and never dare to take it lightly. Who knows three months ago, this pan LAN did not know where to get the wind, but led a group of strong men into the temple, and took the gold statue away! Is it not a sin? "

Cui Zhonglei said, "it's really a crime to take people's property."

He said clearly: "what you said is true. I know that monks should be compassionate. However, stealing treasure is a crime of sacrilege. How can our Buddhist children tolerate and support traitors? Now that Pan LAN has been arrested, we have to make his evil deeds known to the public. I hope you will make the decision for us! "

Cui Zhonglei asked, "I don't know how you want me to decide with you?"

The monk was stunned and said, "I beg you to recover the statue for us and return it to the temple. If pan LAN has melted or sold the gold statue, I hope you can give us the property copied from Pan's house to make up for our loss. I'll never forget your kindness and kindness! When the Buddha worships him, I'd like to light a big sea lantern for you. I wish you good health day and night

After saying this, monk naoran kowtowed his head three times.

After listening to the monk's grievance, the common people in the hall were silent for a moment, as if they were saying: "we have heard your heroic words just now. Now it's your turn to judge the case for us!"

This is Cui Zhonglei's first trial in his life, but he is not in a hurry. After all, he has seen countless people.

But seeing that he touched his smooth chin lightly, his heart murmured out of time: "when can I grow a beard? It's good to teach me how to twist my beard and pretend. "

Wang man murmured at the back: "my Lord, those monks are not good things. It's clear that they are fishing in troubled waters! That's disgusting

Cui Zhonglei said: "don't worry, I have my own reason."

He sat down and asked, "listen to what you say, this golden statue is the only treasure in your temple?"

"Yes, my Lord," the monk said

Cui Zhonglei said: "such a treasure, you must have always cherished it to the utmost and worshiped it every day?"Without hesitation, he said, "you are right. I hold the Buddha dust to clean it every morning and recite scriptures every day."

Cui Zhonglei asked: "are you alone every day, or are your younger martial brothers the same?"

But before the monk answered, the other three rushed to reply, "you are right, and so are we three. In the past five or six years, our four brothers have been chanting sutras for Jingchen in turn. "

After hearing this, Cui Zhonglei smiles, turns to the book office on the small table beside him and says, "please give each of the four monks a piece of charcoal and a piece of white paper."

The bookseller went according to his words.

The fourth monk took the charcoal and white paper in his hand, didn't understand its meaning, and murmured: "my lord This is What? "

Cui Zhonglei said, "can the monk not recognize the white paper charcoal?"

He took a mouthful of saliva and murmured, "I don't know My lord What do you want to do? "

Cui Zhonglei pointed to him and said, "go to the far left side of the hall!" And pointed to another way, "you go to the far right!" The other two also pointed to a place for them, and separated them far away. Then they said, "all kneel down!"

The four monks asked suspiciously, "my lord This is... "

Cui Zhonglei said: "you all turn around and face all the people in the hall!"

The four monks had to turn around.

Cui Zhonglei said, "I have ordered you to draw gold statues on white paper and present them to me."

After hearing this, everyone in the hall was in an uproar.

Fang Wu said, "be quiet! Silence

These four monks are all crafty monks who fish in troubled waters. How can they draw them? I saw each of the four corners kneeling, scratching their heads and ears, and soon sweating.

Cui Zhonglei said coldly: "don't you draw soon?"?! If you don't draw it, you'll break your hands! "

The monks had no choice but to draw at random and give it to the Yamen officer.
