The 444th put down the butcher's knife and became a Buddha on the ground

After half of the summer vacation, Qian Faqun suddenly knelt down in front of Wei Dongsheng crying bitterly: "Dongjia, save Xiaoxiao!" ”

Wei Dongsheng helped Qian Faqun up: "Get up and speak." ”

Qian Faqun and his entourage tearfully told the truth.

Compared with real-world universities, the age limit for invigilators is relatively relaxed, and there are many invigilators who only take the exam at the age of 244. The Wenzhou superintendent and the Nantang superintendent, which has the largest annual enrollment, have even relaxed the age of students to 30 years old. Contemporary folk customs advocate early marriage and early childbearing, young girls marry at the age of seventeen or eighteen, and students strive to repeat their studies until they are twenty-four or five years old, and often have families. Therefore, many students lead their mothers-in-law and children to study in the supervision school, and drag their families to complete the supervision of the school for four years.

In terms of common sense, Qian Xiaoxiao should also accompany Fang Chengtai.

Fang Chengtai supervised Nantang in high school the year before last, and Qian Faqun was afraid that he would forget Qian Xiaoxiao after he was rich, so he asked Fang Chengtai to finish the wedding at home before going to Hangzhou to study. Qian Xiaoxiao thinks about the future from Fang Chengtai's standpoint, and has low self-esteem because the two were born in a peasant family and a peasant family, and they are afraid that rushing to the royal capital in a hurry may make a joke that their classmates despise. Qian Xiaoxiao rejected Qian Faqun's proposal to get married immediately, ignored the rumors such as unmarried cohabitation, and accompanied Fang Chengtai to Hangzhou Mansion in advance to familiarize himself with the customs and habits of Nantang superintendent.

Before leaving, Fang Chengtai and Qian Faqun agreed to go home next summer vacation and buy a wedding banquet with Qian Xiaoxiao.

How to think, in the summer of 1583, Fang Chengtai and Qian Xiaoxiao did not return home; During the winter vacation of 1583, Fang Chengtai and Qian Xiaoxiao still did not return home, and there was no reply to the letters sent by Qian Faqun's trustees. At the end of the winter vacation, Qian Faqun was worried that Fang Chengtai and Qian Xiaoxiao might encounter difficulties, so he took a hitchhike to Nantang School to visit his daughter and son-in-law.

Unexpectedly, when I arrived at Nantang Superintendent, a thunderbolt came to me on a sunny day.

At a certain corner of Nantang Supervisor, Fang Chengtai was ashamed and coldly told Qian Faqun that he had broken up with Qian Xiaoxiao.

Qian Faqun was dumbfounded at that time, and cursed Fang Chengtai viciously It turned out to be Chen Shimei in the world.

It's a pity that no matter how much Qian Faqun hates and scolds Chen Shimei for changing her mind, he can't change the cruel facts.

The dream of a good son-in-law was shattered, and Qian Faqun had to take a step back, hoping that his daughter would be safe. However, such a small heart is also an extravagant hope. According to Fang Chengtai, he officially broke with Qian Xiaoxiao during the winter vacation of 1583, and Qian Xiaoxiao had a strong personality and immediately moved out of Fang Chengtai's courtyard, and has not been heard from since. Fang Chengtai once thought that Qian Xiaoxiao had gone home, and when Qian Faqun found him, Fang Chengtai was surprised.

Qian Faqun didn't wait to see Fang Chengtai.

New hatred and old hatred were added together, and Qian Faqun viciously stuck Fang Chengtai's neck and begged for his life: "Give back my daughter!" ”

However, Fang Chengtai really didn't know where Qian Xiao went.

Qian Faqun immediately made a big fuss, first broke into the Nantang Supervision and Academic Affairs Office to report Fang Chengtai's bad character, and then knelt in front of the main gate of Nantang Supervision to expose Fang Chengtai's evil behavior of breaking the contract. However, Qian Faqun's efforts were ineffective. Maybe the school hates Qian Faqun's troubles, or maybe someone is willing to protect Fang Chengtai, and the Nantang supervisor security guard beat Qian Faqun with a stick. Moreover, the security guard acted fiercely, Qian Faqun was not only bruised and purple all over, but his left arm was even more brutally discounted.

Qian Faqun hated it very much.

In a fit of rage, Qian Faqun decided to sue the official, accusing Fang Chengtai of murdering Qian Xiaoxiao.

However, the Hangzhou government was not a place to uphold justice, and they did not even send officials to conduct a simple investigation, and hastily announced that Qian Faqun had deliberately falsely accused the prisoner Fang Chengtai. The official first beat Qian Faqun violently, and then put him in prison, instructing other criminals to continue bullying him.

Qian Faqun suffered all kinds of sins in prison, and during this period, he fell seriously ill and almost died.

However, Qian Faqun needs to be grateful for this serious illness.

If it weren't for this serious illness, Qian Faqun would have been exiled to Wu's Penglai by a sea ship. The captain was afraid that Qian Faqun would cause a plague, and the jailer disliked Qian Faqun for being seriously ill and dying, so he saved money on prison expenses and released Qian Faqun. Qian Faqun was lucky enough to leave the prison, maybe he didn't deserve to die, and after a few months, he slowly recovered his health.

The two violent beatings by the Nantang superintendent and the Hangzhou government discouraged Qian Faqun's desire to continue to pursue justice.

It turns out that this world is so dark.

It turns out that there is no fairness and justice in this world.

Qian Faqun fell into despair.

Qian Faqun did not dare to come up with the idea of rebellion, and returned to his hometown lonely.

Soon, Wei Dongsheng went home for the summer vacation. Qian Faqun was entangled and entangled, and hatred finally prevailed, so today he begged Wei Dongsheng to help preside over justice with a hint of luck. Even if Fang Chengtai can't be punished, Qian Faqun still has to find his daughter Qian Xiaoxiao.

After listening to the twists and turns of Qian Faqun's tragedy, Wei Dongsheng sighed.

Yu Qinshu said that Wei Dongsheng was unwilling to help Qian Faqun. In the four years from the death of his titular father to the arrival of Wei Dongsheng's sixth generation, Qian Faqun greedily filled his pockets, a typical grain of mouse. If Wei Dongsheng was an ordinary commoner, there was a high probability that the Xiao Wei family firm would be destroyed in their hands. Qian Faqun suffered such a tragedy, which can be regarded as evil retribution.

In his heart, Wei Dongsheng wanted a little help.

Maybe the tragedy of Qian Faqun is that evil has evil retribution, but his petty crime of corruption, why should he lose Qian Xiao's life to make up for it? Criminal law is light and severe, and you can't sentence people to death for embezzling more than 100 silver dollars. Two violent beatings are already very relieving.

Moreover, if you ignore the entanglement of interests between Wei Dongsheng and Qian Faqun, Wei Dongsheng is very sympathetic to Qian Faqun's experience. In the first five lifetimes, Wei Dongsheng was either at the top of the food chain or in the carefree middle class, even if he knew that there must be countless darkness in the Wei and Xia feudal empires, it was difficult to actually feel those darkness. Taking the second life as an example, Wei Dongsheng was born as the king of the Jin Kingdom, which prefect dared to beat him up without asking right or wrong? As the saying goes, standing tall and looking far away, standing in the position of a prince, Wei Dongsheng gradually became accustomed to thinking about current policies from the perspective of national interests. And those ruled strata whose interests have been damaged by various policies, Wei Dongsheng subconsciously ignored their existence.

For example, the immigration of convicts is a national policy.

Domestic criminals were forcibly exiled to the Penglai colony, a national policy that Wei Dongsheng once vigorously advocated. When Wei Dongsheng ran Penglai, he personally practiced and formulated a series of criminal management policies, and did his best to treat criminals as tools for the development of Penglai rather than as a burden on the Penglai colony. Occasionally, when encountering some criminals who were wronged, Wei Dongsheng rarely magnanimously sent them back to China to help them fight lawsuits, but at most regarded them as good sons on the spot and focused on cultivating them.

Today, thinking from the standpoint of the ruling class and questioning from the standpoint of Qian Faqun, the national policy of forced exile of criminals is obviously a bad policy. If Qian Faqun hadn't fallen seriously ill in time, he would have been forcibly stuffed into a sea ship and transported to the Penglai colony of Wu, and the case of Qian Xiaoxiao's disappearance would naturally be over.

Such a form of ignorance is not right.

Who are our friends and who are our enemies?

Wei Dongsheng must firmly remember that he can't forget his original intention just because he was in a high position.

Wei Dongsheng acknowledges that dark politics is an inevitable process of social progress, but he cannot sit idly by and watch these dark violence for granted.

Why are they so unscrupulous?

Whether to help Qian Faqun or not is secondary, Wei Dongsheng really wants to experience the dark side of Wei Xia's partition of the empire. So, Wei Dongsheng comforted Qian Faqun in a noncommittal tone: "When the school starts in the fall, I will ask my classmates to ask Fang Chengtai about the details." ”

Qian Faqun kowtowed and thanked Wei Dongsheng: "Thank you, thank you, thank you." ”

Wei Dongsheng didn't stop there, sighed and said: "My daughter is missing, and it is normal to seek justice from the superintendent and the government office." was beaten twice for no reason, Qian Lao, you feel very uncomfortable, right? ”

Qian Faqun cried bitterly: "Hate me for being obsessed with ghosts, and misunderstand Fang Chengtai, the villain." ”

Wei Dongsheng didn't scold Fang Chengtai in Qian Faqun's tone: "Old Qian, you hate Fang Chengtai very much now, right?" ”

Qian Faqun said viciously: "I can't wait to eat its flesh and eat its blood." ”

Wei Dongsheng: "You get angry when you encounter injustice. Qian Lao, have you ever thought that others will be angry when they encounter injustice? ”

Qian Faqun was at a loss, not knowing what Wei Dongsheng was talking about.

Wei Dongsheng sat next to Qian Faqun, and accused Qian Faqun in a flat voice: "My father believes in you, so he will let you control the Wei family firm inside and out, but how do you repay him?" How much ill-gotten gain have you stolen in four years? ”

Qian Faqun didn't expect Wei Dongsheng to suddenly mention this matter, and he suddenly trembled with fright, and hurriedly knelt on the ground and kowtowed to beg for mercy.

The two violent beatings of the Nantang superintendent and the Hangzhou government were misunderstood by Qian Faqun as the Nantang superintendent and the students had privileges. Guozijian's status is several times higher than that of Nantang Supervisor, isn't Wei Dongsheng's power even greater? Before entering the prison, Qian Faqun might have dared to give birth to a calf and was not afraid of the tiger, but now he has been completely frightened, and he has no intention of resisting the authoritarian power at all.

Wei Dongsheng's flat voice nagged: "Since you hate Fang Chengtai's treachery, why do you betray my father?" Do not do unto others as you would have them do unto you! You yourself are not willing to uphold justice, why should others unilaterally give you justice? ”

Qian Faqun didn't dare to defend himself, so he just kowtowed and begged for mercy.

Wei Dongsheng ended his boring criticism: "If it is over, it will be over, and it is meaningless to pursue it afterwards." ”

Qian Faqun continued to kowtow: "The Xie Dong family bypassed the old slave. ”

Wei Dongsheng shook his head: "There is a famous saying in Buddhism, 'Put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the ground'." The world often interprets this famous saying as 'put down the butcher's knife and you're done', however, I prefer to believe another interpretation. In the world of Buddhism, everyone is a Buddha, and there are thousands of Buddhas in the world. 'Put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the ground', the Buddhahood here refers to crossing oneself to become a Buddha, and from then on there is a Buddha heart. This kind of Buddha is just a Buddha of the Moment, and there is still karma waiting for you to return. What is karma? The sins you did before you put down the butcher's knife and the sins you did before you became a Buddha are all karma waiting for you to repay. The essence of letting go of the butcher's knife is not only to let go, but also to bravely shoulder karma and bravely repay all sins, which is: hell is not empty, and I will not become a Buddha. Qian Faqun, are you willing to put down the butcher's knife and do good deeds bit by bit from now on, slowly eliminating your karma? ”

Qian Faqun couldn't understand Wei Dongsheng's Wei Buddhism.

However, Qian Faqun understood what Wei Dongsheng meant, and immediately swore: "I am willing to put down the butcher's knife and do good deeds to eliminate karma." ”
