Emperor Liu Hong

Hearing that Liu Hong said that he would settle the Taipingdao lawsuit, there was complete silence below.They are all wondering how the court should solve this matter.

Ordinary people don't know how capable Zhang Jiao is, but they, the insiders, know quite well.At least in their opinion, the one who sued Zhang Jiao and the others did not wrong him.And they themselves are doing the same thing as Zhang Jiao and the others.Therefore, they attach great importance to the result of this treatment.

"Your Majesty, the villain is really wronged." After all, even if what he said was true, Zhang Jiao couldn't just plead guilty so directly.So he stood up and said to Liu Hong: "The villain founded the way of peace and educated the people to be good. He also pursues the idea of ​​putting good deeds first and doing good deeds. How can the villain be able to deceive people with bad intentions? ?!"

"Whether you are demagoguery with bad intentions or not, you can't make it clear if you just talk like this. Why don't we confront each other in public, so we can figure out who is right and who is wrong."

"Yes, what Your Majesty said is true." Zhang Jiao nodded and replied, "The villain is willing to confront the accuser in order to repay the villain's innocence."

"Okay, you are willing to confront, that would be great." Then, Liu Hong said: "According to the provisions of the imperial law, there must be jurors in order to hold a court. And this is the sound of Dengwen's drum, and I also need jurors." Give the people an explanation. In that case, let's go to the square outside the palace gate to confront each other, and let the people who passed by be the jurors."

Liu Hong has spoken, what else can others say.Naturally, all the people came outside the palace gate together.

In order to increase his influence, Liu Hong had long planned to hold a public trial on this matter.So when Liu Hong summoned these people into the palace, he already sent people to publicize the matter outside.Therefore, when Liu Hong and the others came outside the palace gate, a large number of people had already gathered here.

These monks.Almost all rely on fooling people for a living, so they are smarter than each other.When they saw this posture, how could they not be clear, this was arranged by the court early in the morning.

But now, they couldn't figure out what the imperial court was trying to do with such a mobilization of troops.If he wanted to take advantage of Zhang Jiao's incident to beat them, but it didn't look like it.After all, they don't think so, just their power.It can make the court so troublesome.But if it wasn't for this, what was the imperial court thinking about?They couldn't figure it out, so they could only quietly pay attention to the development of the matter.

"Everyone, be quiet." After speaking, Liu Hong walked to the front.Continued: "Everyone knows that someone beat the Dengwen drum a few days ago. They want to sue Zhang Jiao, the great virtuous teacher of Taiping Dao. They have evil intentions to deceive people. Today, the parties from both parties have arrived at the scene, so I will trouble everyone. Help to distinguish who is right and who is wrong!"

"Okay, let's help His Majesty make a clear distinction."

"Yes, let's help His Majesty figure it out."

……

"Made, what do you mean by winning people's hearts? This is called winning people's hearts." Liu Hong was quite happy to see that he was so popular with the people.He waved his hand at the people and said, "Since all the people are willing to help, then now. Let's call the two parties involved."

Hearing Liu Hong's words, Tian Feng had already prepared Tian Feng, stepped forward, and said: "I sue Julu Zhangjiao for creating a cult to seduce people with bad intentions. This is the evidence I collected." After finishing speaking, Tian Feng He began to read out the illegal things he had collected about Zhang Jiao.

Tian Feng read out among them, while the others listened carefully, for fear of missing something.As soon as Tian Feng finished reading, Zhang Jiao began to complain.

"Your Majesty, the villain is really wronged." Zhang Jiao distinguished: "Since the establishment of the teaching, the villain has been doing good deeds. Healing diseases and saving people, helping people in various difficulties. As long as someone asks for the villain's name, the villain will do his best to help You said, are there people with bad intentions like villains?!"

"Zhang Jiao, don't make excuses." Hearing this, Tian Feng stood up and said, "It's true that you have done good deeds by curing illnesses and saving people, but the recipients have paid a huge price for what you have done..."

"There's no price." Zhang Jiao interrupted Tian Feng, and said, "The villain is nothing more than persuading them to join the Taiping Dao. Isn't this also enabling them to do good deeds together?"

"Bah!" Tian Feng spat at Zhang Jiao, and said angrily, "Zhang Jiao, don't you feel blushing when you say this?!"

"Blushing, what do I have to blush?!"

"Are you doing everything possible to confuse the people to join your Taipingdao, are you doing good deeds? You only use them as your tools to make money!" Tian Feng said loudly: "Tell me, join your Taipingdao's congregation. Fifteen, various festivals, when do you not need to pay various offerings to you? Don’t say you won’t pay, but if you don’t pay in time, you will pretend to be a ghost to intimidate them. How many congregants from poor families , were all ruined by your ghostly tricks. And these are just your means to deal with the congregation. Those who ignore your demagogues and join your sect will be even more miserable. If they pay , didn’t satisfy you, even threats are trivial, and it’s not uncommon for families to be ruined by your congregation.”

"This is really wronged." Zhang Jiao said to Liu Hong: "The villain's sect needs to be maintained, and it will definitely cost money. And the villain has no other output, so he can only collect some offerings from the congregation. But the collection of this offering is entirely based on the ability of the congregation, and the villain has never threatened."

"The facts are all there, and you cannot argue." Tian Feng recited those people who were enshrined and handed over to bankruptcy, and asked: "How do you explain these things?!"

"Perhaps some of them were overlooked by the villain, but this is definitely not what the villain asked for on his own initiative. This can only be regarded as an unintentional mistake at best."

"Amitabha! Daoist Zhang, if you make a mistake, you are wrong." At this time, Yan Fodiao, who had been listening below, chanted the Buddha's mantra and said, "Whether you made a mistake intentionally or unintentionally, in short, you have caused harm to others. hurt."

"Who are you? Do you have the right to speak on this occasion?" Zhang Jiao said sharply.

"The little monk is Yan Fodiao of Buddhism." Then, Yan Fodiao said with a smile: "Your Majesty said just now, let us help to judge. Now that His Majesty has said it, of course the little monk has to stand up and judge."

"You you you..." Zhang Jiao pointed at Yan Fodiao, speechless.

"Master Zhang, don't get excited. What the little monk said is the truth." Yan Fodiao continued to smile and said, "Don't say that the believers have lost their homes and property because of offerings.

"Whoever says I'm bewitching is because the believers joined voluntarily."

"Master Zhang, you are very clear about your affairs. At the beginning, you treated the people's diseases, and the people sincerely joined your sect. But what happened later? After His Majesty implemented free medical care for all, the people no longer need to look for you." Healed the disease. If you recruit congregants again, it will almost be bewitched by deception."

"You're talking nonsense. I'm using Taoism supernatural powers, not deception. I just use Taoism supernatural powers to help others, and the recipients are grateful to join my sect."

"Really? I'm the best at identifying magical powers. Since you said you used supernatural powers, I'll give it a try for the common people. Let's see if what you said is true or not." Saying that, Yan Fo tuned in. Seriously saluted Liu Hong with palms together, and said: "Your Majesty, in order to return the truth of the matter, this little monk is willing to try Zhang Daoist's supernatural powers with his own body, and he will die without complaint. Your Majesty, please allow me!"

Hearing Yan Fodiao's words, the audience applauded.

"My day, the acting skills of this Yan Buddha tune are quite high. If I didn't know the truth in advance, I would have been deceived by him now." But now, it is a good opportunity to increase the popularity of Buddhism, so Liu Hong said: "Yan Master, you have to think about it, it is quite dangerous to defy the law by yourself."

"Your Majesty, my Buddha used to cut meat to feed the eagles, so it's not worthwhile for this little monk to try the law with his own body." Then, Yan Buddha changed into a merciful face, and said: "In order to seek the truth, this little monk died without complaint. Please let your majesty do it." !"

"Master, are you not thinking about it?"

"Your Majesty, I have made up my mind, Your Majesty, please fulfill it!" Saying this, Yan Fodiao saluted Liu Hong again.

"Hey, now that the master has made up his mind, I won't say any more. I wish the master good luck!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Yan Fodiao saluted Liu Hong again, and then said to Zhang Jiao: "Master Zhang, Your Majesty has already agreed, so please use your supernatural powers on this little monk!"

"You asked for it yourself, don't blame me if you die."

"You don't hesitate to use it, the little monk died without complaint. Your Majesty, and the people at the scene are all witnesses."

"That's good!" As he said, Zhang Jiao took out a stack of talisman papers from his bosom, and threw them at Yan Fotiao.

The talisman paper was windless and natural in the air, which amazed the onlookers.But those cultivators all know that this is just adding special white phosphorus to the talisman paper.But then, even those cultivators couldn't figure it out.Yan Fodiao didn't dodge or evade, just like this to bear the attack of phosphorous fire.But those fire balls, once they reached his body, they were all extinguished automatically.You must know that this phosphorus fire is not fake, if it gets on your body, it will definitely ignite your clothes.But the fire extinguished as soon as it reached Yan Fotiao, which is too strange.

Even an expert cultivator can't figure out what's going on, and ordinary people are even more confused.They all thought that these two people had great Taoism, and they all applauded loudly.

"This thing is really supernatural. But if it is Taoism, it can barely be considered." After Yan Fodiao commented, he said: "Master Zhang, don't use this kind of tricks, but use Show your true skills!"

"Since you insist on courting death, you can't blame me for being cruel." After speaking, Zhang Jiao took out something from his bosom and threw it at Yan Fodiao. (to be continued..)
