Don't ask where people go

Chapter 306
Hearing the sound, Meng Tingyang, who had been following Murong Qing's car all the time, rode over, "Master Fang, what's the matter?"

Fang Zilan didn't answer, the woman kneeling on the ground kowtowed fiercely, "My lord, I beg you!"

Seeing this, Meng Tingyang roughly understood, but he didn't know what the woman was asking for. He was about to ask clearly, but before he could open his mouth, he heard Fang Zilan say: "I will follow this girl to take a look. You stay where you are and don't move." .”

"This..." Meng Tingyang hesitated, but Murong Qing's voice came over, "Wait a minute."

"My lord, why did you get off the carriage?" Meng Tingyang looked back, and Murong Qing walked over slowly with the support of his servants, and walked straight to Fang Zilan, "Master Fang, if you go alone, I'm afraid it won't be right. OK."

Fang Zilan looked at Murong Qing, his eyes were obviously vigilant, and she knew it in her heart, "It's okay, I will be more careful."

"My lord, Longyan Temple is not far from here, it's on the edge of the official road." The woman said anxiously: "If you are worried about this young master, you might as well go with him. But Brother Xu's life is at stake, so there is really no delay, please Adults help."

"Longyan Temple?" Fang Zilan frowned slightly, and said decisively: "I will go ahead with you, and the rest of you don't have to worry, just follow."

After she finished speaking, she helped the woman get up on the horse, then got on the horse herself, and led the woman straight to Longyan Temple.

After a while, Fang Zilan saw curling cigarettes coming from not far away, accompanied by the din of people.She felt strange, Dajing worships Buddha, and it is reasonable to say that Buddhism is pure, even if Longyan Temple is full of incense, it shouldn't be like this.What happened?

"My lord, we are here." As soon as the woman finished speaking, Fang Zilan reined in her horse and stopped.

The two got off their horses in a hurry, and the woman shouted "Brother Xu" and rushed over quickly, pushing away the crowd and squeezed into the middle.

Fang Zilan followed the woman and walked to the middle under the push of the crowd, only to see a man covered in blood, surrounded by the crowd and beaten non-stop, presumably it was Brother Xu that the woman was talking about.

The woman threw herself on the man, took him two solid sticks, and coughed up a mouthful of blood.

"Stop!" Fang Zilan stood beside the two of them, blocked the sticks that were about to fall, and used his strength to disperse the crowd a little, and said loudly: "Stop!"

She held the plum sword in front of her body, and said with a stern expression: "Beyond the capital, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, it is really courageous to gather people to kill people."

"Where did the woman come from? She cares a lot."

"Mind your own business, who killed someone?"

"You're talking nonsense, you're spitting blood!"

Everyone said what they said, but due to Fang Zilan's coercion, they didn't dare to step forward, and just waved the sticks in their hands to demonstrate.

Fang Zilan snorted coldly, and casually took out the badge of the Duke from his bosom, "Fang Zilan, the Duke of Dajingyue Kingdom, is here, who would dare to make a mistake?"

"Duke Yue, Master Fang?"

"Is it Lord Fang who defeated the Miluo people?"

"Stop talking nonsense, the one who defeated the Miluo people is obviously the emperor..."

The momentum of the crowd gradually weakened, but their words still reached the ears of Murong Qing who followed him sparsely.Sitting in the carriage, he told Meng Tingyang to wait and see what happened, and not to act rashly.

"Which one of you is the leader? Stand up and answer." Fang Zilan's eyes swept over everyone one by one, and one of them stood up, "If Master Fang returns, it's me." The man who spoke was about 30 years old, with the appearance of a farmer.

Fang Zilan said without anger: "Who is this person lying on the ground? Why did you beat him?"

"This is a monk from Longyan Temple with the name Jiran." The man said indignantly, "As a monk, Jiran doesn't respect the Buddha, shouldn't he be beaten?"

Fang Zilan went through the laws of Dajing she knew in her mind. It did mention that it is a crime for monks to disrespect the Buddha, but she couldn't remember exactly what it was, so she had to bite the bullet and ask: "Why don't you respect the law?" ?”

The man gritted his teeth and said: "Ji Ran has an affair with this little girl Qiao Nian, so she insists on going back to vulgarity, which is simply disrespectful to the Buddha."

Fang Zilan frowned slightly, "Even if Jiran is guilty of disrespecting the Buddha, you should send him to the government office, how can you lynch him?"

The man opened his mouth and didn't speak, but Qiao Nian, who had been hit twice, opened his mouth, "Lord Fang, that's not the case. Brother Xu's mother is seriously ill, and he has long wanted to return to the vulgar, but the abbot of Longyan Temple is not Yun, also told the people who came to offer incense that brother Xu was disrespectful to the Buddha. Before the abbot locked brother Xu in the temple, he was released on purpose today, and forced brother Xu to swear in front of everyone that he would not return to vulgarity. Brother Xu refused, so he Being beaten like this..."

With a still air like a gossamer, he said intermittently: "Nian Nian, I... I'm fine..."

Fang Zilan frowned even tighter, "If I remember correctly, it's not a violation of the law for a monk to return to lay life. Why doesn't the host refuse?"

Her words were like a stone stirring up a thousand waves, and everyone said one after another:

"How can a monk return to lay life without violating the law?"

"That is, what an honor it is to serve the Buddha, how can you return to vulgarity?"

Hearing this, Qiao Nian yelled loudly, "You guys are talking nonsense!" After she yelled, she coughed violently, Fang Zilan leaned over to relieve her, and heard her say: "After the current Majesty ascended the throne, the law that monks must not return to lay life has been abolished. For example, why can't Brother Xu return to vulgarity?"

When Fang Zilan heard this, he completely understood.The abbot of Longyan Temple knew that it was not against the law for monks to return to lay life, but he didn't want to let Jiran return to lay life, so he instigated the people to drive Jiran to a dead end.

Thinking of this, Fang Zilan turned his head to look at the Longyan Temple behind him, strode over, stood at the gate of the temple and said loudly: "Fang Zilan, the Duke of Yue, is here, please come out and see the abbot of your temple."

There was no reaction in the temple, Fang Zilan unceremoniously drew his sword out of its sheath, and put the sword on the threshold, "Fang Zilan didn't want the murderous people in your temple to be contaminated. But if the abbot insists on not coming out to see him, I can only invite you to the temple."

After she finished speaking, she heard a rustling sound, and the abbot in snow-white robes stepped out and said "Amitabha".

"I have met Master." Fang Zilan bowed politely, and said in a low voice: "I heard that Master Jiran is a monk in your monastery. I don't know why Master allowed Master Jiran to be beaten in front of the temple gate?"

The abbot didn't speak, but looked down at the plum sword on the threshold. Fang Zilan put his hand on the hilt of the sword, without any intention of taking it away, "Master, please answer."

"Everything in the world has a cause and effect, and you can't force it." The abbot said calmly, "As the abbot of Longyan Temple, the poor monk can only manage an inch of land in the temple. If there is trouble outside the temple, the poor monk can't control it."

Fang Zilan was stunned, it was the first time for her to deal with monks, and she was a little unsure of what to do. If it was light, she might not be able to save Ji Ran, but if it was serious, she might be accused of disrespecting gods and Buddhas, causing trouble to her upper body.

Just when she didn't know what to do, she suddenly heard everyone behind her exclaim in surprise: "Master Liao Yuan from Baiye Temple is here!"

Fang Zilan looked sideways, and saw a BMW Lotus car driving over. Inside the white gauze curtain, there was a figure sitting in it.

　Some thoughts:

　　The second volume has officially started. This volume is mainly about the capital.

　　There will be three volumes of content in the whole work, and I myself did not expect it to be so long. This is probably a million-character pit and a million-character filling? !Of course, I am very happy to fill it out. I hope that everyone who reads will be happy every day, and everything will be worry-free~
　　Finally, thank you for your continued support!
