Chapter 41 Chapter Eighteen

Huang Xing said: "Yesterday evening, I was accompanied by my maidservant Bi Tao to this Puci Temple to offer incense and pray for an heir. It was the head monk who introduced me to the abbot, a cup of tea, a few dishes of fruit, and the extension was very kind. Finally, He decided that I should spend the night in Xixiang Pavilion, and asked Bitao to lock the door with a big lock and hide the key. He personally pasted the cover and stamped it privately. "The carved beams and painted buildings in the Xiangge are full of gold and jade. I prayed for a long time in front of the statue of Guanyin, and I turned off the lights and went to bed when I woke up. When I was about to fall asleep, I suddenly felt a monk opened the net and broke into the prison. I took a closer look and recognized that it was Lingde, the head monk during the day. I didn't dare to shout, for fear of being ridiculed, so I had to let him manipulate me. I quietly opened the lipstick box and put the cinnabar that I had prepared earlier. Apply red on his head. This spiritual virtue was interesting, and he comforted me: "If it spreads out, it will destroy the reputation of the whole life."——I was crying in my heart, and I couldn't help crying alone, so I had to wait until dawn to take care of it .

"This spiritual virtue left at some point. I was sleepy and was about to fall asleep again, but a second monk jumped up on the bed and tried to do things with me. I didn't have the strength to resist, and I was tortured again. The first Two of them didn't get out of bed, and the third monk was already standing by the bedside and was about to mess around. I was unprepared, and I wiped cinnabar red on their bald heads one after another as a mark, so that I would recognize their faces in the future so that I could sue the government. Unexpectedly, the master made a thorough investigation and arrived in time. ——Poor me, I was bullied all night by these treacherous thieves. I can’t express my shame and indignation. Where can I vent my anger? I hope the master will make the decision for the little lady!"

Di Gong asked: "I see that the surroundings of the Xiangge are very tight. Miss, do you know where these monks came from?" Huang Xing replied: "When the last thief went out, I saw him turn a copper ball on the Xiangge door a few times, and there was a secret door to get in and out." Di Gong nodded and said: "I have personally inspected the four incense pavilions, and found that only two incense pavilions have secret doors. It can be seen that not all the women who stayed overnight in the incense pavilions were bullied, and some went home innocent. Huang Miss Xing, step aside first."

Di Gong said to the people kneeling in the courtyard: "It's difficult to try this case here for a while, and the wronged monks will follow me to the state government to await trial. Which one is guilty and which one is innocent, we can distinguish clearly." Ma Rong, Qiao Tai. Qiao Tai and Ma Rong understood, led all the government servants, regiments, and strong people to stab them, ropes and chains together, locked up about sixty monks, and escorted them to the state government.Di Gong left Tao Gan and several government officials in charge of Qiangu to seize the floating wealth of Puci Temple.

The news that Mr. Di personally led the army and horse officials to Puci Temple to arrest the monk who committed adultery and adultery, burned like dry wood and fire, burning inside and outside the city of Puyang.Angry people flocked inside and outside the north gate. When the procession of escorting monks entered the city, clods, mud, stones, and dog feces were thrown at the monks one after another, and some splashed sewage in their faces.Yamen officials shouted, scolded, and called them with leather whips and fire sticks from time to time.Poor this group of monks who have always enjoyed leisure, full of warmth and lust, and committed major crimes, now they have become rats crossing the street, huddled in their gourds, swallowing their anger and being forced step by step to the gate of the state government prison.

As soon as Di Gong returned to the state office, he ordered Hong Canjun to send two sedan chairs to carry Huang Xing and Bi Tao back to the mansion.He also told him that the two of them were prostitutes bought by Juancheng County, and that their net worth and a piece of dress and jewelry were being spent on the stolen money that Lingde sent as a bribe. ——Lingde Huaqian can buy thousands of accusations, ax and ax!On the day when Huang Xing and Bi Tao completed their careers, the government decided to break the contract and follow the good, and each chose an auspicious day to find a son-in-law and get married.Duke Di will allocate fields, houses, money and her two from the property of Puci Temple as a reward for this move.Only then did Hong Canjun suddenly realize that, regardless of his old age, he rode his horse back to Di Gong's mansion with Huang Xing and Bi Tao's soft sedan chairs, and reported the truth to Mrs. Di in detail.And explained that all this is where Di Gong is very careful. ——Di Gong is worried that there are Shimen's eyes and ears in the state government. If the inside story of Huang Xing and Bitao is revealed too early, and Lingde hears about it, how can he be easily hooked?

At noon, the Yamen was promoted to the hall, and Di Gong tried the two monks who had committed adultery in the middle of the night.Almost all the people in the city of Puyang gathered inside and outside the gate of the state government.The angry crowd yelled and clamored, declaring that all the monks who committed adultery would be executed. The two monks recruited seventeen other monks who committed adultery. ——A total of 20 principal offenders, including Master Lingde, were heavily shackled and temporarily detained in the stables of the town army camp. ——Because all the town troops went to Linpu to wipe out the mountain bandits, the stables were empty.Duke Di appointed Qiao Tai to lead eight soldiers to guard it.On the one hand, he prepared a document to apply to his superiors, and submitted to the Ministry of Criminal Justice of the capital to make a final judgment.It was reported that Mr. Neidi had stamped the official seal of the prefecture, and four witnesses, Wang, Bao, Wen, and Ling, solemnly signed the private seals. ——The country’s laws are like this, of course Di Gong dare not be good at it.

At dusk, Qiao Tai came to the inner street in a panic to report: "Thousands of people from Puyang flocked to the town's barracks, and then rushed into the stables. Seeing that the situation was not going well, the strong soldiers guarding there all ran away one after another. Dare to offend the public." Di Gong was secretly delighted, and immediately sent people to gather witnesses Wang, Bao, Wen, and Ling, four adults, and rushed to the barracks of the barracks where the twenty principal criminals were held in sedan chairs. The stables had been demolished long ago, and the corpses of twenty monks lay bloody and bloody on the ground!
