Chapter 3 Brother Pit's Plan! Zhu Chongba colluded with the thieves
Zhu Qiwu took the letter, and then slipped to the bedroom where the monks lived, and stuffed the letter under the pillow of his brother Zhu Chongba.
"Well, you can see it now!"
When Zhu Qiwu was leaving, he tore the envelope, revealing a corner of the word.
Then he walked out with his hands in fear.
After Zhu Qiwu walked out, he hid in the firewood room next to the monk's house and secretly observed.
After all, this kind of thing is still a bit dangerous, after all, if it is discovered by a quick-tempered monk, he will directly expose it to the abbot, in case it attracts officers and soldiers, Zhu Chong and the starling brothers will be planted.
Therefore, Zhu Qiwu must respond as soon as he is discovered, so as to achieve the goal of making the old brother have to go.
After a while, a fat-headed, big-eared monk walked in from the front yard with duck steps.
Zhu Qiwu recognized him at a glance from the window lattice.
This is the Zhiping monk in the Huangjue Temple, this monk is used to slipping whiskers and patting horses, and is very liked by the abbot of the Huangjue Temple, often bullying among the monks, the old brother has not been accustomed to the Zhiping monk, and the two have caused a disagreement.
"I wonder if Monk Zhiping can see that letter?"
Zhu Qiwu watched Monk Zhiping walk into the monk's house, and he didn't come out for a long time.
Just as he was about to sneak to the back window of the monastic house to take a look, a familiar sound of footsteps came.
"Brother is here." Zhu Qiwu hurriedly hid again.
Sure enough, the old brother walked in with two buckets full of water.
After pouring two buckets of water into the water tank, the old brother picked up the flat shoulder again, and was about to go again.
Suddenly.
From behind him came a laugh that was neither yin nor yang.
"Hmph, Zhu Chongba, your ability is really not small!"
Because the year was not good, the temple did not have the money and food to open an incense altar to receive ordination, and Zhu Chongba's group of monks did not receive the ordination and gave the Dharma name, so they naturally continued to use the original lay name.
In this way, Zhiping, a monk with a legal name, has a significantly higher status than Zhu Chongba's group of monks.
"Senior Brother Zhiping, what do you mean by that?"
Zhu Chongba turned his head and found that it was Monk Zhiping, who had a grudge against him, and his face suddenly became nervous.
Monk Zhiping is accustomed to rhetoric, and he is the best at begging in front of the abbot.
He relied on the abbot to support him behind his back, and often bullied Zhu Chongba, a common name monk, and all the hard work of washing and folding quilts, sprinkling and sweeping on duty, and carrying water and chopping firewood, all pushed to Zhu Chongba and others.
Not only that, but Monk Zhiping is also eager to take revenge, and he is extremely resentful!
Whoever wants to be bullied and dares to complain twice, Monk Zhiping must also try his best to frame the revenge back.
Zhu Chongba has been bullied by him a lot and has been confronted many times.
Later, although he was not afraid of him, in order to keep the Huangjue Temple, he tried not to provoke him.
"Haha, Zhu Chongba, you are in my hands now, see how I clean you up!" Monk Zhiping looked nervous when he saw Zhu Chongba, and he was immediately overjoyed, he was already sure that Zhu Chongba had colluded with the thief.
"Senior Brother Zhiping, what do you mean, we haven't messed with you recently!" Zhu Chongba said with a confused face.
"Humph! Don't pretend to be confused with me, I've already seen the letter of your collusion with the thief! ”
Monk Zhiping said as he waved the envelope in his hand.
Zhu Chongba was confused.
I don't understand why I have something to do with the thief, but I quickly guessed that this must be the means by which Monk Zhiping framed him.
He was angry and anxious!
"Senior Brother Zhiping, this kind of thing can't be a joke, you can't force us to death!" Zhu Chongba said almost pleadingly.
When Monk Zhiping heard this, he immediately laughed angrily.
"Zhu Chongba, Zhu Chongba, I really underestimated you, you are all dying, you are still pretending to be garlic with me here, you colluded with the thief yourself, why the hell I forced you!" Monk Zhiping said.
At the same time, he secretly said: Is this going to start playing tricks and not admitting it, but the anti-thief letter in black and white is in my hands, I'm not afraid of you cheating!
"Senior Brother Zhiping, don't frame a good person, you can show us that letter!" Zhu Chongba said with an ugly face.
"You still dare to be hard-mouthed, do you think I'm blind?"
Monk Zhiping shook the letter and unfolded it in front of Zhu Chongba.
"The eight sage brothers of the heavy are like meeting with each other, and the brother has raised volunteers in Yingzhou, punishing the tyrannical Meng Yuan and the ugly, and recovering the mountains and rivers of the Song Dynasty...... Foolish brother Liu Futong. ”
Zhu Chongba learned a rough understanding of writing and ink in the monastery, and soon read the letter.
When he saw Liu Futong, Zhu Chongba's heart was already full of anger.
Zhu Chongba secretly said in his heart: God, why are you so cruel to us! When I was young, I starved my father and mother to death, so that we begged for food with Qiwu, and finally became a monk in Huangjue Temple, and became a cow and a horse every day, so I fed my stomach with two meals of wild vegetables and coarse rice a day.
We are already so pitiful, Monk Zhiping even used a fake letter to frame and collude with thieves, this is not giving us a way to live!
"Liu Futong? Brothers? Hehe, Zhu Chongba, I'll go and tell the abbot, you just wait for the officers and soldiers to arrest you! Monk Zhiping smiled arrogantly.
He not only had to report the anti-thief letter to the abbot, but also let the abbot report to the official, not only to get rid of Zhu Chongba, a thorn in his eye, but also to get a large reward from the government.
Maybe as soon as the county lord is happy, he will reward himself with a dispatch from the temple!
Monk Zhiping was proud, and he was about to go out with a big stride.
When Zhu Chongba saw that Monk Zhiping was leaving, he suddenly panicked in his heart.
If this letter were known to the abbot, he and his brother would be thrown out of the temple and relegated to beggars, or at worst, they would have lost their heads!
Thinking of this, Zhu Chongba suddenly grabbed Monk Zhiping's arm, and said in a low voice: "Senior Brother Zhiping, just say, what do we have to do to let us go?" ”
