Chapter 175: The abbot is not favoritistic
"Stop! Are you planning to abscond? Elder Sun shouted.
Bai Bait stopped, turned around helplessly and asked, "Afraid of sin?" If we didn't do it, what should we fear? ”
Seeing that Tianxian was angry, Zhang Hunchback immediately stepped forward and explained with a smile: "Little beauty, I didn't say that you were guilty, what I said was-"
But he was immediately met with a cold eye that was about to leave, "What did you say?" Keep your words clean! ”
"You're still arrogant when you rob money, aren't you?" Zhang Hunchback was still unhappy, and immediately scolded Jiangli.
"I said, what kind of heart do you stinky camel have? Sincerely against me, right? ”
Jiang Li rolled up his sleeves and was about to hit someone, but was choked by the white bait. She stepped forward, approached the abbot, and said lightly: "This abbot keeps saying that he robbed you of your money, dare to ask, do you have any evidence?" ”
"Evidence? My bright eyes are proof of that! If the monks don't speak, he grabbed the money, and he can't be wrong! Zhang hunchback threw a wink at the heavenly immortal, and said confidently. He robbed the money at the bottom of the mountain, and the thief's heart did not die, so he went up the mountain to plot to pry the merit box, and now all the cases point to him alone, what else is there to say! ”
Jiang Li smacked his tongue and said: "I wondered, I haven't seen you, you identified me as a thief as soon as you came up, how do I feel, you are the thief?" Maybe you lost your money when you went down the mountain, and you just took this opportunity to frame me! ”
Taken aback by these heart-wrenching words, Zhang hunchback hurriedly argued: "You you are talking nonsense!" You are clearly a thief shouting to catch a thief! I am the abbot of the temple, how could I do such a despicable thing like you! ”
"Look, you're excited." Jiang Li sneered, "Did I accidentally poke you in the heart?" How? In a hurry? Weak heart? ”
"You, you, you!" Zhang Hunchback couldn't say anything about him, so he hurriedly turned to Elder Tang, and said with a sad face: "Elder Tang, look at him, his mouth is very powerful!" You're going to call the shots for me! ”
"That's it!" Elder Tang was depressed for a long time, and finally spoke: "The top priority is to deal with the theft of the backyard and the merit box, as for the robbery, I will investigate it clearly." ”
"Oh no! The thief is right in front of him, what else is there to investigate? Arrest him and punish him, and it's over......" Zhang hunchback said anxiously.
Elder Sun calmly comforted: "Abbot, you can listen to Elder Tang for the time being!" ”
Bai Bait and Jiang Li couldn't help but glance at each other, their faces were full of grotesque, and they always felt that the atmosphere was weird, and they couldn't tell what was strange.
Zhang hunched over and looked left and right, pretending to be helpless, and sat down with a cold snort.
"The two donors, about the backyard and the incense money case, what grievances are there, the abbot will tell them in front of him!" Elder Tang said, his tone was a little more cold than before.
"Abbot ......" Bai Bait was about to speak, but was stopped by Zhang Hunchback.
"Needless to say, I've already learned about it on the way here." Zhang hunched back raised his hand and called people, "Come on, untie this female benefactor, and take a seat." ”
As soon as this remark came out, everyone was shocked.
... ...
Bai Bait was a little flattered, and hurriedly said: "No, no need to sit ......"
"The rules of our temple have always been strict, no matter who makes a mistake, it doesn't matter if it's a big mistake or a small mistake, as long as it is committed, then you have to be punished! And heavily! Zhang said with a hunched back and raised his eyebrows, and then asked the two elders on the left and right, "Really?" ”
Elder Sun hesitated for a moment, then hurriedly cooperated, "Yes! Right! The abbot has a point! ”
Zhang hunchback nodded smugly, "Okay, that's right." So, now let's talk about stealing a backyard. I wonder how much spice this male benefactor stole in the backyard? ”
"Steal, steal ......" was asked by the dead camel, Jiang Li was really a little overwhelmed, and he only cared about taking it at the time, who knows how much he stole.
"One liter!" White Bait stood up and replied.
"What! One liter! It's too bold! Zhang hunched back suddenly slapped the case heavily, and scolded the general angrily. Thinking that something was wrong, he looked at the white bait again, "No, how do you know that you stole a liter?" ”
Bai Bait did not change his color and said: "Because I stole the spices." So, punish me if you want to punish me! ”
Bai Bait was a little confused, and looked at her incomprehensibly, and was about to argue something, but unexpectedly, the camel was even more anxious than him.
"Nonsense! How could it be you? Zhang hunched back and said loudly: "You sit down, it's not you!" This abbot law does not show favoritism, and will never wronged good people, you can rest assured. ”
"Stealing a liter is not a small crime!" The stern gaze fell on Jiang Li, and after a long time, he snorted coldly: "Then let's talk about how to punish it severely!" ”
"Abbot, I stole the spices, and they can't be faked. Punish me. "White Bait insists on holding on.
"What nonsense are you talking about, I will bear the sins I committed, you don't have to care." will leave the serious road.
Since there is a chance to clear her suspicion and let one person be responsible, how can she be allowed to bear this charge?
"Abbot, don't listen to her, listen to me, I stole the spices, there is a liter of spices, and no one knows better than me how much I have stolen." Regardless of the argument, Bai Bait insisted on pleading guilty. Please net
"Oops! I said donor, don't be deceived by him, I said that you look so petite and lovely, even if this matter is related to you, then you are also coerced by him. You can rest assured, the abbot has always been kind-hearted and will forgive you. You are not guilty, sit on the side, obedient. Zhang hunchback looked at Bai Bait with a smile and coaxed hard.
"No, I stole the spices, abbot, don't talk nonsense, how do you punish you!" Bai Bait said coldly.
"The abbot said that I stole it, that is, I stole it, don't mess around with it." will leave the rebuke.
"Who's messing around? I stole ......"
"I stole ......"
"No, it's my ......"
The two of them insisted on their own words, scrambling to confess their sins, which caused the two elders in the hall to be a little confused.
"Oh, don't fight!" Zhang hunched back and yelled with his eyes closed, his tone extremely impatient. After the hall stopped, he said to Bai Bait and Jiangli: "Then you confess to the crime of stealing spices, and you confess to the crime of stealing incense money, and everyone has their own gains, so there is nothing to fight about." ”
"That's not going to work!" Bai Bait refused: "We didn't steal the incense money, we resolutely deny it, I admit that I stole the spices, he is innocent, you let him go!" ”
"But you keep arguing, how do you let the abbot and me decide the case? Why don't we let us accompany you here for ten days and eight days? Zhang asked rhetorically.
Bai Bait was suddenly dumbfounded by the question; After thinking about it for a long time, he suddenly said: "Okay, okay, okay!" I confess both sins! ”
"What?" Bai Bait looked at Jiang Li with a shocked face.
"Wait, wait!" Zhang Hunchback immediately jumped up from his seat, ran to Jiangli, and tried to confirm: "I can hear clearly, you said that you stole the spices and incense money alone, right?" ”
"That's right! I stole it. Hurry up and let her go! "Will leave urged.
"Howler!" Zhang hunchback smiled happily, and hurriedly beckoned: "Come, come, come." Drag him down and wait for him to fall! ”
Seeing this, Bai Bait immediately said: "No, the sin of incense money must not be admitted!" As for the punishment, let it be punished together! ”
I wanted to protect him, but now, that's the only way to go.
"That's not going to work! He has already confessed his guilt, and the eldest husband has spoken his word, and the horse is difficult to chase! Why are you suffering, female benefactor? Zhang said with a hunchback and a frown. Seeing that her face was full of determination, she turned her head and asked Jiang Li: "She said that she would be punished with you, what do you think, don't blame me for not reminding you, that punishment is not something ordinary people can bear!" ”
"One person does things, one person is responsible. I'm guilty of it! Jiangli's tone was even more resolute, and he said firmly to the doubts in Bai Bait's eyes: "Bai Bait, don't worry, I'm fine, you go!" ”
"Donor, do you hear me clearly?" Hunchback turned to ask White Bait.
"I'm going to leave you—" Bai Bait gritted his teeth, really unable to imagine what he had just said, "You have disappointed me so much! ”
"Come on, drag him down!" Zhang hunched up and shouted triumphantly.
"Wait." Elder Sun stood up suddenly, his cold gaze swept towards Bai Bait, and he said, "She can't just leave so easily!" ”
Fang Xing was halfway through, and Jiang Li turned his head and frowned and asked coldly: "I have confessed my sins, what do you want?" ”
"There is still a human life in my temple that is closely related to her, so she can't leave yet. She could only go when the unconscious child woke up and thoroughly investigated the cause of the coma. Elder Sun replied.
"Abbot Ben didn't say that he was in a hurry to let her go." Zhang hunched back and suddenly said: "That thief has done a lot of evil, and the serial theft is a big case, and it must be handled well to close the case." The female benefactor has been by the thief's side for a long time, and she knows the details of the crime best, so stay and help the abbot make a codex to close the case for the time being! Let's do something for the people! ”
Who knows what tricks they will play, the dead camel is full of high-sounding words, and he must not be at ease. Jiang Li stared at the camel for a moment, and said stiffly: "No." Gotta let her go! ”
"What Elder Sun said is not unreasonable, then I will stay for the time being!" White bait is the color channel.
Staying seems to be a compromise, but it is actually an expedient measure, as long as she is still leaving, then there is still room for maneuver in this matter.
Of course, she really wanted to see why the boy was unconscious, and only by staying could she see what kind of face those who reciprocated the favor with a thousand knives would be after learning the truth!
Remorse, embarrassment, or shame, one way or another, she was happy to see it with her own eyes.
"White bait! You-" will leave a little puzzled. finally pulled her out of the tiger's mouth, and now she took the initiative to send her into the tiger's mouth, which is really worrying!
"Take it all down! Wait for the fall! Zhang hunchback raised his hand again, and when he saw that Bai Bait was about to turn away, he immediately reminded gently: "The female benefactor is waiting for the summons of the abbot!" ”
Seeing this, Elder Sun couldn't help but smile secretly, raised his robe and turned around, and when he sat back in his position, there was a cold color in his eyes, just like the moonlight.
The clouds rolled, and the changing sky ushered in another gloom in the gloom. The shadowy lights do not illuminate the exquisite treasure temple, just as the half-missing lonely moon does not illuminate the different colors of the heavens and the earth.
The room in which they were held was very narrow, with the high windows ajar, and a small piece of the sky could be seen, and the moonrise frightened the birds, constantly moving, but there was never much light coming in.
There was only one candle left, and in the corner where they could not reach, they tried to radiate light, but after all, they could not resist the cold of the night.
