248 Defying the law

Hearing Liu Hong say that he wanted to settle the lawsuit of Taiping Dao, they were all thinking about how the imperial court would solve this matter.

Ordinary people don't know how capable Zhang Jiao is, but they, the insiders, know it quite clearly. At least in their opinion, the one who sued the emperor did not wrongfully accuse them. And they themselves are also doing similar things to Zhang Jiao. So, they attach a lot of importance to the results.

"Your Majesty, the villain is really wronged." After all, even if the accusation is true, Zhang Jiao can't just admit his guilt so directly. So he stood up and said to Liu Hong: "The villain founded the Taiping Dao and educated the people to be good, and he also pursued the idea of putting good deeds first and doing good deeds. How can a villain behave a demagoguery with bad intentions?! ”

"Are you demagoguery with bad intentions, just empty words, you can't make it clear. Let's confront each other in public, and find out who is right and wrong. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty said so." Zhang Jiao nodded and replied: "The villain is willing to confront the complainant to repay the villain's innocence." ”

"Okay, you're willing to confront you, that's great." Then, Liu Hong said: "According to the provisions of imperial law, in order to hold a trial, there must be jurors. Moreover, this has beaten the drum of Dengwen, and I also need to give an explanation to the people. In this case, let's simply go to the square outside the palace gate to confront each other, and let the people who pass by be this juror. ”

Liu Hong spoke, what else could others say. Naturally, all the people came to 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 had already let people go outside to publicize this matter. Therefore, when Liu Hong and the others came to the palace gate, a large number of people had already gathered here.

Almost all of these people in the monastic world rely on fooling people to eat, so they are smarter than the other. As soon as they saw this posture, they couldn't know where they could be, this was arranged by the imperial court early in the morning.

But now, they can't figure out what the court wants to do with such a stirring up? If you want to use the matter of Zhang Jiao, you can beat them along the way, but it doesn't look like it. After all, they didn't think that with their little power, they could make the imperial court bother so much. But if it weren't for this, what would the court be trying to do? They couldn't figure it out, so they could only quietly watch the development of things.

"Everyone, be still." As he spoke, Liu Hong walked to the front and continued: "Everyone knows that someone beat the Dengwen drum a few days ago. To sue Zhang Jiao, the great sage and good teacher of Taiping Dao, to deceive people's hearts and have bad intentions. Today, the parties on both sides have arrived at the scene, so please trouble everyone and help to divide who is right and who is wrong! ”

"Okay, let's help Your Majesty sort it out."

"yes, we'll help Your Majesty figure it out."

……

"Made, what is called 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 those two parties up." ”

Hearing Liu Hong's words, Tian Feng had already prepared, stepped forward, and said: "The minister sued Julu Zhang Jiao for founding a cult to demagogue people with bad intentions, this is the evidence collected by the minister. After speaking, Tian Feng began to read out the illegal things he had collected about Zhang Jiao.

Tian Feng read it out in it, and the others all listened carefully, for fear of missing something. As soon as Tian Feng finished reading it, Zhang Jiao began to cry out for injustice.

"Your Majesty, the villain is really wronged." Zhang Jiao distinguished: "Since the villain founded the church, he has been doing good deeds. Treat the sick and save people, and help all kinds of people in need. As long as someone asks for the villain's name, the villain will do his best to help. You say, is there such a villain as a villain with bad intentions?! ”

"Zhang Jiao, you don't have to quibble." Hearing this, Tian Feng stood up and said: "It's true that you have done good deeds to cure diseases and save people, but what you have done, the people you have helped have paid a huge price......

"What the price." Zhang Jiao interrupted Tian Feng's words and said, "The villain is nothing more than persuading them to join the Taiping Dao. Isn't this also so that they can do better good together? ”

"Phew!" Tian Feng took a sip of Zhang Jiao and said angrily: "Zhang Jiao, don't you feel blush when you say this?!" ”

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

"Are you doing everything possible to trick the people into joining your Taiping Dao in order to do good deeds? You only use them as tools for you to accumulate wealth! Tian Feng said loudly: "Tell me, join your Taiping Dao sect, on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, all kinds of festivals, when do you not need to pay all kinds of offerings?" Don't say that you won't pay, that is, if you don't pay it in time, you will pretend to be a ghost and intimidate them. How many poor members of the church have been ruined by your ghostly tricks. And that's just how you deal with the congregation. Those who ignore your demagoguery and do not join your sect will be even more unbearable. If the reward they give you is not satisfactory, it is not uncommon for you to intimidate them, and it is not for nothing that the family of the people who are coerced by your sect will be ruined. ”

"It's really wrong." 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. However, the collection of this offering was completely based on the ability of the cultists, and the villain never threatened. ”

"The facts are there, and you can't quibble." Tian Feng read those who were handed over to the bankrupt and asked, "How do you explain these?!" ”

"Maybe some of them are overlooked by the villain, but this is by no means the villain's initiative, this can only be regarded as an unintentional mistake at most."

"Amitabha! Zhang Daozhu, if you are wrong, you are wrong. At this time, Yan Buddha, who had been listening below, recited the Buddha's name and said, "Whether you have a conscious mistake or an unintentional mistake, in short, you have caused harm to others. ”

"Who are you, on this occasion, do you have a part to speak?" Zhang Jiao said sharply.

"The little monk is the strict Buddha tone of Buddhism." Then, Yan Fo said with a smile: "Your Majesty just said, let us help with the evaluation." Since His Majesty has said it, of course the little monk has to stand up and comment. ”

"You, you, you......" Zhang Jiao pointed to Yan Buddha tune, speechless.

"Daoist Zhang, don't get excited, what the little monk said is all true." Yan Buddha continued to smile and said: "Don't say that the believers have gone bankrupt for the sake of worship, even if it is to bewitch the believers to join the religion, it is a big sin. ”

"Whoever says I'm a demagogue, it's all the believers who joined voluntarily."

"Daoist Zhang, your affairs are very clear to the little monk. If you say that in the beginning, you healed the people, it was because the people joined your sect with sincerity. But what about then? After Your Majesty implemented free medical care for all, the people no longer need to seek treatment from you. If you recruit the congregation, it will almost be a deception. ”

"You're talking nonsense, I'm a magic power, not a deception. I only joined my sect by using my magical powers to help others, and the people who were helped were grateful. ”

"Really? The little monk is the best at identifying the magic channel, since you say that you use the magic power, then the little monk will try it for the people. Look at what you say, whether it's true or not. As he spoke, Yan Buddha saluted Liu Hongheshi in a straight tone and said: "Your Majesty, in order to return the truth of the matter, the little monk is willing to test the magic power of Daoist Zhang, and die without complaint, please allow Your Majesty!" ”

Hearing Yan Fo's words, the audience at the scene applauded.

**, this Yan Buddha's acting skills are quite high. If I hadn't known the truth beforehand, I would have been deceived by him by now. But now, it is a good opportunity to raise the popularity of Buddhism, so Liu Hong said: "Master Yan, you have to think about it, this is quite dangerous to defy the Fa. ”

"Your Majesty, my Buddha used to cut meat and feed the eagle, and now the little monk is trying the law, what a good way to go." As he spoke, Yan Buddha put on a compassionate face and said: "In order to seek the truth, the little monk dies without complaints, please fulfill Your Majesty!" ”

"Master, aren't you thinking about it?"

"Your Majesty, the little monk has made up his mind, please fulfill it!" As he spoke, Yan Buddha saluted Liu Hongheshi again.

"Alas, since the master has made up his mind, I won't say more, I wish the master good luck!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty." After Yan Buddha saluted Liu Hong again, he said to Zhang Jiao: "Daoist Zhang, Your Majesty has agreed, please use your magic power against the little monk!" ”

"You brought it on yourself, don't blame me if you die."

"Even if you do it, the little monk will die without complaint. Your Majesty, and the people present are witnesses. ”

"That's good!" As he spoke, Zhang Jiao took out a stack of talisman paper from his arms and threw it at Yan Fo.

When the rune paper reached the air, there was no wind and nature, which surprised the onlookers. However, those cultivators all knew that it was nothing more than a special white phosphorus added to the rune paper. But then, even the monks couldn't figure it out. Yan Buddha didn't dodge or dodge, so he endured the attack of phosphorus fire. But those fires, as soon as they reached him, were all extinguished automatically. You must know that this phosphorus fire is not fake, and when it comes to the body, it will definitely ignite the clothes. But this fire was extinguished as soon as it reached Yan Buddha's body, which was too unusual.

Even the cultivators couldn't figure out what was going on, and the ordinary people were even more confused. They all thought that these two people's Taoism was strong, and they all applauded loudly.

"This thing, it's said that it's supernatural. But if you want to say that it's the Tao, it's barely true. After Yan Fo commented on it, he said: "Daoist Zhang, don't take out this kind of little skill, let's use your real skills!" ”

"Since you have to find death, then you can't complain about my cruelty." As he spoke, Zhang Jiao took out an object from his arms and threw it towards Yan Buddha. (To be continued.) )q
