The monk said angrily: "But he beat so many of us, why should he be detained no matter what? What if he absconds in fear of crime?"
The yamen servant puffed up his chest and said loudly: "I will handle this matter. If the second master Fang escapes, just hold me accountable!"
The monk looked angry, but there was nothing he could do.
It is a rule in the world for officials to protect each other. What can a monk do?
Fang Jun nodded towards the yamen servant: "Thank you! May I ask what you call me?"
Isn't it just for a sweet relationship that people are so considerate? I am not an unkind person, no matter whether I am a sect or a general, there is no guarantee that one day I will be of use to others, and it is not a bad idea to form a good relationship.
Saying "thank you" is a favor without any expense, and it can be regarded as accepting the favor of this government servant.
Otherwise, it would be uncomfortable to spend the night in the county government office...
The yamen servant was overjoyed and said quickly: "The younger one's name is Wu Dawei, and he ranks ninth in the family, so everyone calls him Wu Jiu..."
David Wu...this name sounds familiar.
"That's it, I'll take my leave!" Fang Jun nodded, turned around and mounted his horse, and walked away with Mr. Xi without even looking at Princess Gaoyang in the carriage.
Princess Gaoyang was furious, stamped her feet fiercely, and shouted: "Go back to the palace!"
Bad Fangjun, dead Fangjun, black-faced god!
Do you really think I care about you? It's a shame for me!
Just wait, I will read a copy of it in front of my father when I get back, so that you can read it!
The carriage turned around and headed back the way it came.
Princess Gao Yang happened to see Bian Ji still standing under the tree through lifting the curtain of the carriage. That face that used to be quite handsome now revealed endless despair, making Princess Gaoyang feel a deep sense of disgust in her heart.
It's all this stinky monk's fault. If you hadn't stopped me, how could you have caused Fang Jun's misunderstanding?
Princess Gaoyang was not easy to deal with either. She lost her temper and knocked on the carriage. A guard came over from outside and asked, "What are your orders, Your Highness?"
Princess Gao Yang pursed her lips: "That monk named Bianji is annoying to look at..."
"My subordinate understands!"
Hearing this, the guard outside understood the situation, called a companion, turned his horse's head and returned to the gate of Ximing Temple.
Bian Ji was lost for a long time before he stood upright tremblingly. Looking at the monks in front of him who were wailing and uttering obscene words, he felt bored for no reason.
Is this what is called a monk?
Fang Jun was really right in scolding him. Such scum have simply ruined the reputation of Buddhism. If things go on like this, the pure land of Buddhism in the eyes of the world will indeed turn into a filthy and dirty place, making people avoid it. How can we talk about seeking Buddha and attaining the righteous path?
While my heart was ups and downs, I suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves beside my ears.
Bian Ji turned around in shock and saw two knights riding horses. When they came to him, they didn't say anything. They picked up the whip in their hands and whipped it off.
Bianji just saw the afterimage of the two whips in front of him, and his face felt hot and painful, and he couldn't help but scream and cover his face. The two knights ignored it and just cracked the whip fiercely. In a moment, the Bianji was whipped so hard that it wailed and rolled all over the place.
The two knights on horseback hesitated for a moment, and then said coldly: "My Royal Highness tells you that since you are an outsider, you should cultivate your mind and character. If you stop a woman on the street, you will pester her endlessly. Is it the work of an eminent monk to corrupt a woman’s honor? This whipping is a small lesson. If there is another time, you should be careful of the good head!"
After saying this, he pinched the horse's belly and turned around to leave.
Arrogant to the extreme!
The government officials who remained at the scene were stunned, and even the monks on the ground stopped screaming.
Everyone finally understood that everything today was actually caused by this excuse to provoke Her Highness the Princess!
"Bah!" Wu Jiu spat in disgust: "I thought you were some kind of eminent monk, but it turns out you are just a bunch of scumbags with human faces and animal hearts! How dare you complain here? Let me tell you, this lawsuit , even if we fight in front of the emperor, you can't win! Listen to my advice, go back and read a few Buddhist scriptures, and ask the Buddha how he was born to be a monk!"
The seriously injured monks looked at each other, speechless.
They just saw Bian Ji being beaten by Fang Jun, so they shared the same hatred, but they never asked where the matter originated. It is true that they are not stoic monks, and it is true that they have done a lot of dirty things secretly, but they are all monks anyway, and they still need the basic bottom line and face. How can they be embarrassed to be slapped in the face like this?
The leading monk let out a long sigh, struggled to get up on the ground, and clasped his hands to Wu Jiu and said: "This poor monk is reckless and protects his own people without knowing the reason. Let's let this matter go. Please inform the benefactor of this temple. I will never pursue any further charges and sincerely apologize. Amitabha..."
After saying that, he and the monk who got up helped each other back to the temple.
But no one looked at the defense machine again...
Bianji stood there blankly, his face turning green and white, completely forgetting that he was covered in whip marks. It wasn't until a cold wind carrying snowflakes blew by that he shivered and revealed a sad smile.
He raised his head and looked at the gray sky, feeling empty in his heart.
What Buddha, what love, what hate, what humiliation, what practice...
At this moment, everything was silent.
Bianji took a deep breath and staggered into the cold wind and bitter snow. His monk's robes were blown to pieces by the cold wind, and his thin body looked even more lonely. He walked out of Chang'an all the way...
A few years later, a lone monk used his compassionate mind and profound medical skills to save countless poor mountain people in the barren mountains and rivers of Lingnan. People erected monuments and passed down legends in his honour, but this handsome monk just took it indifferently. He had an alms bowl, a bamboo basket and a bamboo stick, with no fixed whereabouts, and practiced hard...
*****
Princess Gaoyang returned to the palace, and instead of going directly to the palace, she went straight to the Dragon Palace angrily. Only when we arrived did we realize that the emperor was not here, but had gone to Concubine Yang's palace.
Princess Gaoyang turned another corner and came to Concubine Yang's palace.
Concubine Yang got cold by chance a few days ago, and she lingered on the hospital bed for several days. She finally got out of bed today. Although His Majesty Li Er has countless beauties in his harem, he still has a deep affection for the princess of the former dynasty and came here specially to visit her.
The emperor sat on the brocade couch, leisurely picked up a bright red cherry from the white jade tray, put it into his mouth to taste, spit out the core after a moment, and said: "Although this cherry looks the same as the one in summer, But it is something that defies nature. It has not caught the spirit of spring and summer, so it will inevitably taste sour. The concubine has just recovered from her illness. It is better to eat less of this kind of food to avoid gastrointestinal discomfort."
Concubine Yang was sitting horizontally at the bottom. She smiled gently when she heard this and said, "These things were all sent by Fang Jun. With such filial piety, how can I, my concubine, depress my thoughts?"
Although she is nearly forty years old, Concubine Yang is well-maintained, and she was born in the former Sui royal family. She has a noble temperament and a virtuous demeanor. Not only does she not look older, but she has a bit more grace and demure carved by the years, just like the aged A fine wine that lasts for a long time.
His Majesty Li Er looked at the beauty's cheeks as white and tender as freshly peeled eggshells, and the gentle expression in her eyebrows, and felt quite moved in his heart. Then he stretched out his hand to hold Concubine Yang's soft jade hand and said with a smile: "That boy is really clever and tries his best to make you happy. Could it be that he knows that a certain person cares about you and wants to save the country in a twist?"
Concubine Yang's pretty face turned red, she covered the emperor's big hand with her backhand, and said angrily: "How can your majesty look at people like this? Other concubines dare not say it, but Fang Jun definitely has no such thoughts. Ever since Ke'er left the capital, he He sent filial piety tributes from time to time. What he valued was this affection, and he definitely had no plans for me. Besides, His Majesty is wise and powerful. Even if that kid had some evil intentions, how could he hit me like this? Come here? Your Majesty never allows the harem to interfere in politics."
Everyone knows that His Majesty Li Er has extremely strict control over the harem. Except for the late Empress Changsun who occasionally gives advice on the government affairs, the other concubines are strictly prohibited from discussing the government affairs, let alone participating in them.
His Majesty Li Er said with a smile: "You said you haven't been bribed by that kid? You have been saying good things to that kid just now..."
Concubine Yang smiled and said: "Your Majesty has his own concerns. What does it matter what I say?"
His Majesty Li Er enjoyed the little fun between the couple very much. He felt happy even if he bickered, so he squeezed Concubine Yang's delicate hand and said, "It's getting late. I will stay here today. Let's have a rest early." .”
When Concubine Yang heard this, she felt happy in her heart. She nodded gently and said, "Then I will wait for your majesty to take a bath."
At this moment, a sweet cry suddenly came from outside the hall.
"Father, please quickly issue an imperial edict and kill that black-faced god with a knife! This makes me so angry..."
His Majesty Li Er and Concubine Yang were stunned and looked at each other.
