Merchant's daughter is not a concubine

Chapter 242
When everyone looked at the three eminent monks of Puhui Temple whom everyone admired, they were all shocked beyond measure, and some who had always believed in Puhui Temple cursed loudly.

"Isn't this Abbot Puhui? Who did it?"

"It's disgusting! How dare you treat an eminent monk like this!"

Mrs. Yasukuni seems to have been struck by lightning. Why is this... Could it be that they were tortured?Besides, it's fine that Abbot Puhui came here, so why did he bring two stupid apprentices with him?

"It's unreasonable!" Empress Dowager Jingren shouted angrily. "Before going to court, the punishment was used, who did it?"

"Empress Dowager, stay safe and don't be impatient." Mrs. Lu said with a smile, "Did you use torture? Everyone has come to the court, so why don't you ask according to the rules."

Empress Dowager Jingren let out a low snort and stopped making any further noises.

Chen Fuyin gave a dry cough and patted the gavel lightly. Before he could speak, Abbot Puhui and his two apprentices plopped and knelt down tremblingly: "See... see Your Excellency..."

The common people outside were in an uproar, and even the dignitaries sitting in the courtroom were all surprised!
Because monks don't kneel before officials!It means that what they serve are gods and Buddhas, which is also a privilege given by the imperial power, and expresses their awe of gods and Buddhas.

But Abbot Puhui, as an eminent monk of a famous monastery and the master of a monastery, unexpectedly disregarded his status and knelt down in dismay when he saw the official like a mouse seeing a cat.He lost even the dignity of being a disciple of Buddhism, and he was in a terrible embarrassment!

Empress Dowager Jingren widened her eyes in disbelief, looked at Abbot Puhui and the three, and responded briefly.

Chen Fuyin patted the gavel with some trepidation: "Lu Xuehai, do you recognize this person?"

"Ah—" Seeing Abbot Puhui and the three of them, Lu Xuehai screamed and slipped into Mrs. Lu's arms, crying tremblingly. "Yes, it's these three villains! They... woo... They want to catch me and let my blood drain! They even let out the blood of a little sister! The little sister is dead!"

Chen Fuyin said: "Abbot Puhui, Lu Xuehai was captured by Gao Shun, now Lu Xuehai identified him, was imprisoned in Puhui Temple, and was bled by your Puhui Temple people, is there such a thing?"

"It was done by the poor monk..." Abbot Puhui said weakly.

The crowd was in an uproar, and Mrs. Yasukuni felt that her eyes went dark, and she almost fainted. She felt that this old bald donkey wanted to tell the whole story!Immediately panicked and shouted: "Abbot Puhui, have you been beaten into a trick! Empress Dowager, you respect Buddhist disciples the most, please uphold justice for Abbot Puhui! Abbot Puhui, don't be afraid! As long as you have The Empress Dowager is here, no one can force you!"

Empress Dowager Jingren frowned, hesitated to speak.

At this moment, two couples suddenly rushed in, one with a five or six-year-old boy and the other with a five or six-year-old girl. .

"Damn donkey! Vicious monk! A rotten thing with a Buddha's mouth and a snake's heart!"

"How dare you abduct my elder son and beat you to death!"

The common people and the queen mother and others in the court were all dumbfounded, not knowing why.

"Who is coming, quickly pull it away!" Chen Fuyin patted the gavel hard.

"My lord! We are villagers in Li Village, and we live not far from the foot of Puhui Temple. Ten days ago, our six-year-old son disappeared! These two are from the neighboring village, and their six-year-old daughter also disappeared! Our original I thought the child would just disappear, but yesterday I met an official who went up the mountain and pushed the three bald donkeys away. They also returned our two children. When we saw this dead old bald donkey, we couldn't help it, so we beat him. They have a meal!"
