Chapter 243: An Injustice in Vain
Li Tao stood up, paced back and forth, and only stopped after a while, he stared at King Xiang and said: "It stands to reason that this emperor should let a virtuous and talented person do it, but I am a descendant of the Li family, and I also have selfish intentions, although I don't want to be the emperor, and I don't want Li Tang to be done by others, so it is impossible to do that Yao Shun's move." Besides, if you really let the foreign surname become the emperor, the world will definitely be in chaos, and in the end, the people will suffer, so you can only choose one of the descendants of the Li family who want to be the emperor. There are a lot of descendants of the Li family, but there are only a handful of people who can really be good emperors, Tao Er has observed for a long time, and has not found that one person can surpass the third uncle! ”
After hearing this, King Xiang nodded and said: "Tao'er, you and I are older than you, and we are also descendants of the Li family, but we are far less far-sighted than you, and the Li family is really fortunate to have descendants like you!" ”
Li Tao admired himself a little, but he wanted to enjoy Qingfu and was unwilling to work hard to be the emperor, but he was told such a big truth.
King Xiang didn't know, but Li Tao knew very well, whether he had himself or not, in the history of later generations, Li Longji still became the emperor, and his move was just a favor.
"San Lang is indeed very good, but how do you know that he will definitely be able to be a good emperor?" King Xiang asked calmly.
Li Tao's mind couldn't help but think of the Anshi Rebellion in the later generations, and he took a deep breath and said: "I don't know, I can only do my best to obey the destiny of heaven." ”
……
"Zhang Wei, wouldn't it be so quick that Guo Sizong would finish the matter of the lawsuit?" Li Tao saw Zhang Wei coming in a hurry, and hurriedly asked.
"The matter of the lawsuit is still in progress. I'm here because of something else. Zhang Wei shook his head and said.
"What's the hurry?"
"King Lantian, do you know the monk Purun of Tianci Temple?" Zhang Wei asked.
"Recognize, what's wrong with this Purun?" Li Tao was a little strange.
"This Purun stall is a murder case."
"Purun kills? How is this possible? ”
Although Li Tao has only a few relationships with Purun. But from the killing of a pig for a widow, it can be seen that Purun is a kind person, how can he kill people?
"Zhang Wei, what's going on, let's hear it!"
Zhang Wei nodded: "That's the case, ...... last night"
……
Last night, Meng Fang, the daughter of the owner of Manulife Casino, called someone to kill her. Someone saw a back, and the murderer was a bald monk. After Zhang Wei took over the case, he found a Jinpa under Meng Fang's bed. There is a monk embroidered on it, and there are four red embroidered words: Tuoxin Purun.
Zhang Wei sent a servant to inquire and learned that there was a monk named Purun in Tianci Temple.
So, he took Purun back to the government for interrogation.
in court. Peng Taode asked why there is a name of Purun on Jinpa?
Purun confessed that Meng Fang had pinned his affection on him. This Meng Fang because of the early death of his mother, and Boss Meng did not remarry, the family should be a matter of worship, all handed over to Meng Fang to take care of, Meng Fang often went to Tianci Temple to worship the Buddha, came and went, for no reason to like Purun, several times to Purun to marry her. Purun is dedicated to the Buddha, how can he pay attention to her!
This Fang Jinpa Meng Fang once secretly gave it to Purun. was returned by Purun again.
A few days ago, Purun went to invite a mason, and met Meng Fang, Meng Fang stuffed him with a note for no reason, which read: Purun, on the evening of the seventh day, the gambling house Red Pavilion will meet, if you don't come, I will commit suicide! The name is Meng Fang!
On the way back to the temple with the three masons, Purun crumpled the note and threw it away. Purun didn't take the note to heart, thinking that it was Meng Fang's trick, and he might not take it seriously.
Now that I heard this, Meng Fang was really dead! Pu Run sat down on the ground and shouted, "What an idiot girl, did she really commit suicide?" ”
Peng Taode was shocked, and said that Meng Fang was killed by others, and when he died, the door of the Red Pavilion was opened, and there were signs of adultery with the man.
Near the Red Pavilion of the gambling house, there was an old man who sold night porridge and saw a bald monk jump from the second floor of the Red Pavilion and fled in a hurry. The old man was suspected of playing cards and causing trouble, but it was this bald monk who killed Meng Fang, and the time and place coincided with Meng Fang's residence and the time of death.
However, Purun has words in his mouth, he has been staying in Tianci Temple, and he is not at the scene of the crime at all, and there are abbots and monks who can testify. And Purun defended that Meng Fang was devoted to him, why did he want to kill her, he really couldn't find a reason!
Zhang Wei didn't believe Purun's words at all, so he was going to torture him, and in a hurry, Purun said that he knew the king of Lantian, so Zhang Wei gave up and let Purun return to the temple, but he had to be on call, and he hurriedly came to ask Li Tao.
……
"Let's go, let's go to Tianci Temple!" Li Tao listened and left.
Tianci Temple is very famous in Chang'an, Emperor Gaozong and Emperor Zetian often come to teach Buddha, but Zhongzong Li Xian came very little.
In that year, Emperor Zetian also stayed in Tianci Temple for one night, and Emperor Zetian was in a bad mood that night, thanks to the abbot of Hongfa using a string of Buddhist beads to relieve Emperor Zetian's worries. After Emperor Zetian returned to the court, there was an ambassador to pay tribute to a batch of deep-sea treasures, all of which were rare agate coral pearls, among which there was a string of pearls, a total of eighty-four, white and crystalline, so that Emperor Zetian remembered that Emperor Zetian took off the Buddha beads and strung her beads to forget his worries. This string of precious deep-sea white pearls was given to the abbot of Tianci Temple as a Buddhist bead.
On this day, the abbot came to the north hall, and the three masons invited by Purun worked hard to restore the eaves of the temple to their old appearance, and it seems that the craftsmen have good skills. Kobo looked at it for a while, and then went back to the meditation room. On the table in the meditation room is a Buddha box, and the string of precious white pearls is placed in the box. Kobo opened the box, and there was a ball of light, and it was a glittering pearl. This string of pearls is so precious that Kobo doesn't usually take it out and wear it.
When Purun returned to Tianci Temple, the three masons repaired the broken parts of the temple eaves in advance, and Hongfa had already inspected the temple eaves, so he calculated their wages.
It was really an eventful time, and the three masons had just stepped out of the temple gate, and when the abbot returned to the meditation room, he found that the pearl strings in the meditation room were missing. The white pearl was given by Emperor Zetian, and its loss was also a major event, and everyone could not leave the temple for the time being, and the three masons were recovered to the temple for this reason.
Every monk in the temple knows that there is a string of white pearls in the abbot's meditation room, which is no secret, and the white pearls have been in Tianci Temple for several years, and they have been safe and sound, why did they suddenly disappear?
When Li Tao and Zhang Wei came to Tianci Temple, Tianci Temple was already in a mess.
Li Tao shook his head and said: "Just out of the Pudu murder, who would have thought that the beads would be lost again, what happened to this Tianci Temple?" ”
Because the temple eaves have been repaired these days, all pilgrims have been refused, and the entry and exit of personnel is not complicated. Therefore, whoever steals the beads will now be in the monastery. (To be continued......)
