Cheng Yue took the towel and said with a smile while wiping his sweat: "If you haven't kicked for a long time, you're rusty, and it will be better to practice again." ”

Wang Yu hurriedly seized the opportunity to make a big fuss, Cheng Yue rarely said a few words to him, such an opportunity must be grasped well!

Cheng Yue smiled and coped with a few words, leaving the three children to continue playing, and went in to meet the two saints by himself.

When the door was opened and the room was entered, Kuo Kuolun, Babahan and Yang Shufei were also there, and many women were laughing happily together, and they were endlessly happy.

Cheng Yue saluted first, and Xie Daoqing smiled: "Crazy playing outside? I don't come in and say hello before I go. ”

Cheng Yue said with a smile: "Erchen didn't want to go out after he came in, so he first accompanied the official's family to play with the two princes for a while." The official family's skills are good, and the two princes are also very good. ”

Cheng Yue sat on the soft chair next to Xie Daoqing, he and Xie Daoqing were like real mother and son, they no longer needed Xie Daoqing's permission to sit down, let alone thank them, they got along very naturally, and Xie Daoqing liked it too.

Quan Jiu personally brought a cup of tea to Cheng Yue, and said with a smile: "The Metropolitan Governor seems to have something to talk about today, right?" ”

Cheng Yue was stunned for a moment, and laughed silently: "How does the Queen Mother know that I have something?" Do I have it all written on my face? ”

Quan Jiu smiled and said, "If the Metropolitan Governor only comes to greet us, he will tell us a few jokes when he comes in, and he will sit closer to the saint, because the Metropolitan Governor likes to hold the saint's hand and hold the parents." It is not convenient to be far away from the saint as it is now, and it is inconvenient to take the saint's hand, but there must be something to tell the saint. ”

Cheng Yue laughed and said, "The Queen Mother is really careful, I can't change this problem." I have to say something. ”

Xie Daoqing said lovingly: "Do you still need to be as careful as a hair?" As soon as I saw your frame, I had something to say, and I frowned, I'm afraid things are not simple. ”

Cheng Yue was suddenly moved, moved his body and sat closer to Xie Daoqing, reached out and took Xie Daoqing's hand into his palm, and said, "Queen Mother." No matter if the son has something to say in the future, he must sit so close to the queen mother. ”

Xie Daoqing's eyes couldn't help but burst into tears, and he turned his head sideways to hide it: "Only you, this kid is neither big nor small, and he always likes to hold my hand and talk." ”

Cheng Yue couldn't help laughing and said: "Erchen's problem can't be changed, so the queen mother will be reluctant to make it difficult, bear with it." ”

Xie Daoqing gently patted Cheng Yue on the face. said: "I finally had a son, but he was cheeky. She actually likes Cheng Yue to hold her hand and talk, she was really uncomfortable at first, but after getting used to it, she felt that it was really good, and Cheng Yue was uncomfortable not holding her hand.

Seeing Cheng Yue and Xie Daoqing's mother and son getting along, all the women were deeply moved. Ba Bahan quietly wiped his eyes and said, "The Metropolitan Governor has something to say, it's better for us to leave, right?" ”

Cheng Yue turned his head and smiled: "No, it's not a big deal." ”

Xie Daoqing said: "Say it." Who you off again? Do you still need me to call the shots for you? ”

Cheng Yue laughed and said: "It seems that Erchen's anger at every turn has to be changed." After a change of words, he said: "Queen Mother, when the son was not in Lin'an, I heard that the Ping'an Temple welcomed the Buddha bone relics once, did the son hear right?" ”

Xie Daoqing nodded and said: "This is indeed the case, I originally wanted to go to the worship, but the Queen Mother repeatedly persuaded me not to go, saying that I don't know whether the Buddha bones are true or false." Second, I'm afraid that it will be difficult for you to do it, and there will be such a thing in the future. You can't take care of it. ”

Cheng Yue looked at Quan Jiu with a smile, but Quan Jiu ignored him and deliberately turned his gaze elsewhere.

Xie Daoqing said: "Yue'er, although you don't believe in Buddhism, you'd better ignore this kind of thing as welcoming Buddha bones." It's not good to be too strict, let them toss. ”

Cheng Yue said: "What the queen mother said is true. Erchen does not want to take care of the bones of the Buddha, but what Erchen wants to take care of is to defraud money and evade taxes. ”

Xie Daoqing frowned slightly, and said, "You won't tell me about this kind of trivial matter, who is involved?" ”

Cheng Yue smiled and said: "The queen mother knows her sons very well. Yes, this matter is related to Wang Yu. ”

Xie Daoqing's body shook slightly, and said, "Wang Yu? What trouble did he get into? Still unwilling to be honest? ”

Cheng Yue said: "Erchen has investigated clearly. Before Wang Wei made his career, he went to the Ping'an Temple to make a wish, and one day he will be able to return to the Ping'an Temple. This time, the Ping'an Temple welcomes the Buddha's bones, the Lin'an official gentry and noble households, and many worships, all of which are ignored by the Ping'an Temple. Erchen sent Yang Ting to Ping'an Temple to verify that Ping'an Temple had obtained more than 76,000 taels of property and silver by relying on the Buddha's bones alone, and more than 49,000 taels of taxes should be paid according to the law. The abbot of Ping'an Temple, monk Yuanyi, was reluctant to hand it over, so he found Wang Yu and asked him to help him think of ideas. ”

In order to repay the kindness of the year, Wang Yu sent a message to the relevant officials, saying that the cost of welcoming the Buddha bone was huge, and the cost along the way should be deducted. So the monk Yuanyi said that the expenses were huge, and he only paid more than 700 taels of silver. Afterwards, Yuan Yi sent 2,000 taels of silver to Wang Wei, and more than 1,600 taels to the officials below, all the human and material evidence were there, except for Wang Wei, the others had been taken into prison by Yang Ting. ”

Xie Daoqing's left hand slapped heavily on the armrest of the soft chair, and said angrily: "Slave dares!" You have already taught him a lesson before you entered Lin'an, and you still don't know how to repent, is tens of thousands of taels of silver a small amount? ”

Cheng Yue stroked Xie Daoqing's right hand and said, "The queen mother is angry, it's not worth being angry and hurting for such a villain." ”

Xie Daoqing's chest kept rising and falling, grabbed Cheng Yue's hand and said, "You can do it with confidence, how can such a villain stay by the official family?" ”

Cheng Yue said: "Queen Mother, there is another secret that makes people cry and laugh. ”

Xie Daoqing asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Cheng Yue said: "There are nine monks sent to welcome the Buddha's bones, the nine monks actually did not go to the country of Mara at all, they went to the Tibetan side because their bodies could not support and could not move forward, after a delay of three months, they privately discussed, bought a few pieces of sheep bone relics from the local herdsmen's homes, and took them back under the guise of Buddha bone relics. In other words, the Queen Mother is right, the Buddha bones in Heian Temple are indeed fake! ”

"What?!" The women present couldn't help but be shocked, and Quan Jiu almost dropped the teacup in his hand to the ground.

Xie Daoqing was shocked and asked, "Sheep bone relics?" What is a sheep bone relic? ”

Cheng Yue looked around and said with a smile: "You must think that only the relics can be burned after the cremation of the monks, right?" ”

Kuo Kuolun was stunned and said, "Isn't it? The relics are obviously formed by people with advanced Taoism, so how can ordinary people come to the relics? Not to mention cattle and sheep. ”

Cheng Yue sighed: "You are very wrong, this is what Buddhism uses to deceive the world. In fact, relics are not difficult to obtain, not only ordinary people, even cats, dogs, insects and snakes may burn relics, and it has nothing to do with whether he believes in Buddhism or not! As for the relics, they are just bones, so how can you tell whose ones they are? Aren't you talking nonsense with those monks? The Tang Dynasty once burned the so-called Buddha bone relics of more than 100,000 catties at once, and it stinked within ten miles, in addition to human bones, it was mixed with a large number of cow bones, horse bones and even dog bones, which shows its absurdity! ”

The women were so shocked that their mouths couldn't close together, and what Cheng Yue said, almost all of them heard it for the first time. Xie Daoqing and Quan Jiu and others have read through the history of the Tang Dynasty, so they naturally know that what Cheng Yue said is true.

Quan Jiu was shocked and asked, "Does Zen Master Yuanyi know about this matter?" ”

Cheng Yue said: "Of course he knows, because the lies of those nine monks are very easy to debunk." The queen mother thought about it and knew that the nine of them had never been to the country of Mara at all, not only could they not tell the relevant customs and customs, but also that there were no so-called monks from the temple of the country of Mara to escort the Buddha's bones to Lin'an along the way, how could it be true? Is it so perfunctory to worship the Buddha's bones? Yuan Yi only had to ask a few words, and the nine monks couldn't make it up, so they had to tell the truth. But even if he knew the truth, Yuan Yi was still determined to hide it from the outside world, and deceived those foolish men and women of their money by passing off the fake as the truth. Anyway, these people don't understand anything, and if they don't lie, they won't cheat. ”

Xie Daoqing was furious and said, "Lang Lang Qiankun, the Buddha is above, how can such a dirty thing happen under our noses?" I almost cheated on me! Queen Mother, fortunately, I listened to your persuasion and didn't go, otherwise how would Yue'er live? Annoying! Hateful! ”

Cheng Yue continued: "Queen Mother, Wang Yu didn't know about the fake Buddha bones, so he couldn't be wronged. ”

Xie Daoqing said: "If he knows and dares to interfere, then he is really bold!" ”

Cheng Yue said: "Queen Mother, Wang Yu is the private of the official family, how to deal with it, please decide with the Queen Mother." ”

Xie Daoqing pondered for a moment and said, "He has been in the palace for decades, and he has no merit and hard work, so the death penalty will be spared." How about driving him out of the palace, confiscating his family property, and severing him with twenty rods, and sending him to Qiongzhou? ”

Cheng Yue bowed his head and said: "The handling of the queen mother is very proper. ”

Quan Jiu sighed: "Wang Yu really doesn't know what to do, there should be this report." ”

Xie Daoqing instructed Chen Baohe: "You go to find someone to accompany the official's family to play with the two princes for Wang Yu, and let Wang Yu come in and talk." ”

Chen Baohe said respectfully: "Yes." ”

Chen Baohe walked outside the door and called two palace maids who were close to Zhao Xian and said, "You go to play with the official's house and the two princes, and you are not allowed to cry the official's family." The two palace maids hurriedly went over.

Wang Yu was wondering, Chen Baohe came to him and said with a smile: "Brother Wang, you still have a big face, the two saints and the metropolitan governor invite you in." ”

How could Wang Wei not hear the ridicule in Chen Baohe's tone, his legs were weak in fright, and he hurriedly begged: "Brother Chen, Brother Chen, for the sake of the past, can you tell me what I have done?" ”

Chen Baohe smiled: "I said Brother Wang, why do you still want to pull me into the water?" I don't know, can you just go in and ask yourself? ”

Wang Yu only felt that the sky was spinning for a while, his eyes were black, he couldn't breathe in his chest, his feet were firmly nailed to the ground, and he couldn't move.

Chen Baohe shook his head and sighed: "I knew today, why bother in the first place? He stepped forward to support Wang Yu and personally led him into the door. (To be continued......)
