Chapter 49: Pretending to be dead and selling alive
"Commandment Cheng's livelihood before becoming a monk, I'm afraid only Abbot Qingfeng knows. This is also where the supervisor of Jiecheng is suspected of beyond, and in the eyes of the poor monks, Jiecheng may have been a doctor before he became a monk. "For the sake of the Zen master Dao.
It's strange to say, this Cold Moon Temple is not big, there are a lot of "doctors", and the two Zen masters also know a little bit about it.
The little Cold Moon Temple is about to become a medical hall!
Zhao Zimeng listened to the suspicion of Weihe Zen Master and felt that there was some truth: "Two masters, have you seen a doctor for the villagers of Zangjiazhai?" ”
Zhao Zimeng remembered Zang Mantang's words, Jiecheng had sent medicine to Yurong's mother more than once, he grabbed medicine for Yurong's mother, there should be a prescription prescribed by Lang Zhong, is he also proficient in pharmacology?
"Why would Captain Zhao ask this?" For the Tao of the Zen Master.
"We heard that Jiecheng once gave medicine to an old woman in Zang's village. If it is not a prescription written by you, it must be a prescription of sincerity and openness. ”
"We only see monks in the monastery and never treat people outside the monastery. For peace, your guess is indeed correct, and Jiecheng is also proficient in pharmacology. "Zen Master Huizheng said.
"If you are sick, you should take medicine. The medicines I prescribe are all symptomatic medicines. Is the disease of the admonition feigned? He said to himself for the Zen master.
"Why should you pretend to be sick?" Huizheng Zen Master said.
"Two masters, can you recall the process of burying Supervisor Jiecheng?" Xiao Luhan said.
Xiao Luhan always felt that there was a problem with Supervisor Cheng and Fazheng Master and Apprentice.
Listening to Huizheng and Weihe and the two masters say so much, everyone felt that Xiao Luhan's suspicion was right.
In order to look at Zen Master and Zen Master Huizheng for a moment, he said: "It was the poor monk and the four people of Jueshui, Huizheng, and Kongyun who put the body of Supervisor Jiecheng into the coffin, and it was also the coffin we covered, and the nail that was sealed. "For the sake of the Zen master Dao.
"How long has the coffin been parked in the temple?" Zhao Zimeng said.
"Buddhism is no better than mortal dust, and after the death of a person in the mortal dust, he must be buried at home for three days. Buddhism didn't pay that much attention to it, and the next morning, we carried the coffin of Jiecheng to the cemetery and buried it. "Hui Zhengdao.
"The pit was dug by a few of us, and the coffin was put into the pit by a few of us." For the sake of peace.
"Didn't the two masters find anything wrong?" Zhao Zimeng continued to ask.
"I didn't find anything wrong, the coffin was also carried to the Houshan cemetery by a few of us, if Jiecheng's body was not in the coffin, the coffin should be very light!" For the Tao of the Zen Master.
"Who will keep watch by the coffin when you put the body of the admonition in the coffin, and when the lid is sealed, until the next morning?"
"Buddhism does not have the saying of keeping spirits, ordinary families have spouses and children, and of course spouses and children have to keep spirits. There is no queen for monks, there is no need for people to keep the spirit, and after the burial, when the time has passed, everyone goes back to the temple to rest. ”
"Did Fa Zheng also go back to the meditation room to sleep?"
"Fa Zheng is crying very sadly, since Jiecheng fell ill, he has been in front of Jiecheng's bed day and night, and when we are taking care of Jiecheng's funeral, Fazheng has been lying on the hospital bed." For the Tao of the Zen Master.
"It was the poor monk who gave him the pulse and the medicine he prescribed." Huizheng Zen Master said.
"Is he really sick?"
"Now that I think about it, there's something strange about it. The admonition will pretend to be sick, and the Fazheng should also pretend to be sick. "For the sake of peace.
"Everyone pretends to be sick, and if someone wants to fake their illness, it shouldn't be difficult. It's really hard to be sick, and it's easy to pretend to be sick. He Zen Master said: "If there is a problem, it should be after the burial, before the burial." ”
"For peace, I suddenly remembered something." Hye-jeong's expression suddenly became solemn.
"What's the matter?"
"Isn't Fa Zheng working in a carpentry shop?"
"Yes, since the age of fifteen, Fa Zheng has been apprenticed to the Void Master in the carpentry room, which was arranged by Supervisor Jiecheng." For the sake of peace.
"What is the carpentry room for?" Zhao Zimeng said.
In general, temples have cabbage heads (vegetable growers), gang heads (cooks), and incense heads (incense and lamp oil in the main hall).
"Usually repair doors and windows, Buddhist shrines, meditation beds, incense tables, Buddhist platforms, tables, chairs and benches." Hui Zhengdao.
"Huizheng, you forgot something."
"What am I missing?"
"The carpentry workshop also processes coffins!"
"In order to be right, since the monks in the temple changed to burial, the carpentry workshop began to process coffins, and the monks came and walked naked, which is the only benefit of the monks. The coffin where Cheng Cheng slept was beaten by Fa Zheng. Also his tung oil and paint. ”
"Could it be that Fa Zheng has done something on the coffin?" "But we watched the coffin buried in the deep pit." ”
"Team Zhao, we should dig up the grave of Jiecheng and take a look." Xiao Luhan said.
"I think so too, Captain Zhao, if you don't open the coffin of Abbot Qingfeng, it is impossible to know the cause of Abbot Qingfeng's death, if you want to find out whether Supervisor Jiecheng has anything to do with the case of Lengyue Temple, I think it is necessary to open the coffin of Supervisor Jiecheng and take a look." For the Tao of the Zen Master.
"Team Zhao, Ge Zhenggen and Liu Abao found the underground palace, and after seeing the golden Buddha, they played a trick of the golden cicada shelling. Jiecheng died of illness shortly after the overhaul, including Fa Zheng's departure from the Cold Moon Temple, which should also be playing the trick of the golden fork shelling. Linghu Yunfei said.
"They think they're doing it perfectly, and they don't know what they're doing. Only by opening the lid of the coffin can we know the truth, and the case of Lengyue Temple may also be revealed. ”
Zhao Zimeng hesitated for a moment and said, "Open the coffin? This is no small matter. We have been disrespectful to a high monk! Two masters, you have to discuss this matter with the monks in the temple, especially the abbot of Puji. ”
"This-Captain Zhao don't worry, Huizheng and I will immediately go to Abbot Puji to discuss. Since we can open the sarcophagus of Abbot Qingfeng, we will definitely be able to open the coffin of Supervisor Chengcheng. "For the sake of the Zen master Dao.
Zen Master Huizheng simply stood up: "For peace, we will go to the West Zen Temple now, and we will call Master Kongyun as well." ”
Hui Zhenghe walked out of the meditation room.
After sending off the two Zen masters, Zhao Zimeng, Ling Hu Yunfei, Xiang Daimo and Lin Di left Lengyue Temple.
Forty minutes later, the car drove into the detention center.
Director Wei and two guards were sitting in the office waiting for Zhao Zimeng's arrival, and when they heard the sound of a car, the three of them walked out of the office and walked outside the gate of the detention center.
Director Wei led Zhao Zimeng, Ling Hu Yunfei, Xiang Daimo and Lin Di into the office.
After a while, two guards walked into the office with clean water.
Zhao Zimeng motioned for Purified Water to sit down on the chair, and Director Wei poured a glass of water for Purified Water.
The comrades were able to quickly turn their attention to Fazheng because pure water provided a very important situation.
Pure Water took the teacup and took two sips of water.
"Pure water, what do you want to tell us? Go ahead! ”
"Captain Zhao, Pure Water remembered something, I don't know if it will be useful for you to handle the case." Pure water still has some concerns, "It's not good, don't blame clean water." ”
"It's good that you're proactive in providing us with information, and it's only going to be good for you."
"Captain Zhao, have you asked Master Huairen for a question?"
"We have asked Huairen, and when Master Huairen was going to the toilet, he saw Fa Zheng standing in the south pavilion of the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion looking into the courtyard more than once, and Fa Zheng was still holding a telescope in his hand."
"During the investigation, we also learned about a situation that Fa Zheng was not the child of Supervisor Jiecheng who picked up Lengyue Temple, and Fa Zheng was originally the son of Supervisor Jiecheng."
"Jiecheng and a village girl messed around, and soon, this village girl gave birth to Fazheng, and finally, Jiecheng hugged Fazheng into the Cold Moon Temple." Zhao Zimeng wants to provide more information about water purification, which will be helpful for water purification thinking.
"That's right, Captain Zhao, what Purifying Water wants to tell you is the matter of Fazheng."
Lin Di took out a pen, notebook, and tape recorder.
"Captain Zhao, on the night before Supervisor Cheng died of illness, the time was about ten o'clock, I was ordered by the master to patrol the temple with Master Huairen, and when we walked to the carpentry room, we saw that the lights were on in the room."
"We pushed the door open and went in to have a look."
"Is Fa Zheng in the carpentry room?"
"Well, I'm alone in the carpentry room."
"What is Fa doing?"
"I asked him, and he said that Master Cheng's body is getting worse day by day, and he wants to pick a better coffin for Master Cheng."
"Later, I also thought about this matter, there are several coffins in the carpentry room, all the coffins are the same size, and the wood used is the same, and it seems that it doesn't make sense to pick a better coffin. Besides, why pick the coffin while everyone is sleeping? ”
"When Master Huairen and I walked in the door, we saw Fa Zheng squatting in front of a coffin, and it didn't look like he was picking a coffin. He seemed to be pondering something. Seeing me and Master Huairen, Fa Zheng suddenly stood up, and I saw that he was a little nervous and flustered. ”
"Did you tell Abbot Xiuneng about this?"
"No, at that time, I didn't think there was anything wrong with the clean water. In the past few days, so many things have happened that I have only remembered this matter, and there is one thing that is even stranger. ”
"Say it quickly."
On the night of the second day after Supervisor Jiecheng's burial, the time was also more than ten o'clock, and the monks in the temple fell asleep. I went to the latrine to relieve myself - although I was an acolyte of the abbot of Xiuneng, I had been living in the Western Monastery. ”
"When I lifted my pants and walked out of the toilet, I saw a figure walking down the stairs and following it, only to know that it was Fazheng, at this time, what was Fazheng going to do?"
"I followed from a distance, and Fa was walking through the west room towards the back door of the monastery, and he unlocked the door and walked through the woods."
"Did Fa Zheng go to the cemetery?"
"Yes, Fa Zheng went to the cemetery."
"What is Fa doing in the cemetery?"
He knelt in front of the grave of Supervisor Jiecheng, and I waited for ten minutes, and then went back to sleep in the Western Zen Temple. At that time, I thought that Fa Zheng had a deep relationship with Supervisor Jiecheng, and he probably missed Master Jiecheng, so it was normal to stay in front of the master's grave for a while. Now that I think about it, there must be a problem. ”
