Chapter 208 Today, the father-in-law and son-in-law meet
After all, this debate between Buddhism and Taoism was regarded by Dezhi as a turning point for Buddhism in the Tang Dynasty.
Therefore, it is not impossible to fall into the devil's path for this obsession.
Qin Wenyuan said: "So Dezhi teamed up with his relatives and worked together to create such a scam, pretending that the relic was stolen, and falsely accused others of stealing it, and then paid 5,000 silver taels to redeem it."
"In this case, your temple has no choice but to explain the matter to the pilgrims. The pilgrims trust you very much. Knowing that you have encountered such a difficult situation, they will naturally help you, so it didn't take long for you to collect the ransom."
"And just like this, for Dezhi, the money has been collected! At the same time, Huasheng Temple's act of redeeming the relics of the Buddhist ancestors at the expense of shame can also win a lot of fame."
"In this way, you can gain both practical benefits and fame. I have to say..."
When Qin Wenyuan said this, he couldn't help but sigh: "What a big lie, and a scam that kills two birds with one stone!"
At this point, all the cases have been completely revealed.
Everyone present was shocked by Dezhi's ingenious scam.
Everything was silent for a long time.
In the huge hall.
It was eerily quiet at the moment.
Everyone's expressions were very complicated.
They were shocked that the mastermind behind all this turned out to be the abbot of Huasheng Temple.
At the same time, I was shocked by this ingenious scam.
This scam is really interconnected.
From the moment the relics were stolen, a huge scam began!
The temple showed its weak position to the outside world. When the pilgrims learned about the coercion, they all generously helped. At the same time, they scolded the culprits and even the court. After all, the court could not even solve such a case and could not even catch a single thief.
In this case, from the beginning to the end, the temple has no impact at all, except that the pilgrims feel pity for it and want to love it. No one criticizes the temple.
Moreover, it is obvious to all that the temple has paid so much for the relics of our ancestors, and it will gain a good reputation.
After that, the temple would use the ransom money to exchange for the relics, and then everything would be perfect.
If the case cannot be solved, who is responsible?
Of course it is the responsibility of the court.
And what about Huasheng Temple?
Completely removed from this matter.
The money is there.
Got a name!
The relic is back too!
After going around in a big circle, Huasheng Temple only made a profit but not a loss.
When the time comes, we will decorate the temple properly and make it splendid. When the Taoist people come, they will be blinded and shocked.
Huasheng Temple occupies the home court position before and after. If you can win the debate between Buddhism and Taoism, and Buddhism can be thoroughly carried forward, you will really make a lot of money!
I have to say that even Qin Wenyuan couldn't help but sigh in his heart at this moment.
How did Dezhi come up with this scam?
Everything started from stealing the relic.
And not only is the deception sophisticated, but the crime is also as sophisticated.
Qin Wenyuan believed that it was only because he, the cheating person, could easily decipher everything here.
If an official like Zhao Xianye were to investigate.
Let alone a few days, even if it is a few months, we can't find out.
If Buddhism really wins by then, its moral and intellectual status will definitely rise, and maybe people will go directly to the Western Regions.
By then, even if you solve the case, what's the use?
They have everything, but you can’t catch anyone!
And after so long, all the evidence has long since disappeared, and it’s still a crappy case!
I even came by myself today.
If I come here tomorrow and come back after they finish the transaction, I may not be able to solve this case.
Even if you know the whole story, there is no evidence to prove everything.
Until then, without irrefutable evidence, it will be useless for anyone to come.
Qin Wenyuan sighed inwardly. He looked at Dezhi and said, "Abbot Dezhi, although I, Qin, don't know anything about Buddha, I feel that people who worship Buddha should have a happy-go-lucky attitude towards victory or defeat.
It’s more appropriate.”
"So when you have this idea and do whatever it takes to win, you have already lost, right?"
When Dezhi heard Qin Wenyuan's words, he suddenly opened his eyes.
He looked at Qin Wenyuan, and in Qin Wenyuan's bright and clear eyes, there was a reflection of his own misery.
Suddenly, he felt ashamed to be looked at by Qin Wenyuan.
He said: "Master Qin has a profound Buddha heart. If Master Qin joins our Buddha, he will definitely become a high-ranking monk of our Buddha."
Qin Wenyuan: "..."
What the hell...
I just said something casually, but you didn’t let me get a wife?
I am a man with a wife!!
Qin Wenyuan hurriedly shook his head and said: "No, no, no, I can't break my mortal mind. So it seems that I, Qin, am destined to have no connection with Buddhism in this life."
When Dezhi heard Qin Wenyuan's words, he felt regretful.
Deyuan looked at Qin Wenyuan with a sad expression at this time, as if he had blinded Qin Wenyuan, a good young man.
Qin Wenyuan was quite speechless.
Do you Buddhists like to lure people in so much? Is there a reward for pulling people’s heads?
"Master Qin, there is something that I want to talk to Mr. Shaoqing alone."
At this moment, Dezhi suddenly spoke.
Qin Wenyuan looked at Dezhi's expression and saw that Dezhi looked serious, as if he really wanted to tell him some secret.
He thought for a while and then nodded: "Let's go outside."
After everyone heard this, they quickly made way for Qin Wenyuan.
At this moment, these monks no longer showed any disrespect towards Qin Wenyuan, and everyone was in awe.
More awe-inspiring than their teacher.
Qin Wenyuan and Dezhi left the main hall. Qin Zu came to look at Dezhi and said, "Abbott, tell me."
Dezhi took a deep breath, clasped his hands together, and said: "The poor monk knows that he has sinned deeply and is surrounded by demonic obstacles, but there is a secret. The poor monk still hopes to tell Lord Qin, not to wash away the evil obstacles, but at least... don't make a mistake until the end.
.”
Looking at Dezhi, Qin Wenyuan felt at this moment that this abbot actually felt somewhat like an eminent monk.
But...the obsession was too deep, and this time things were completely ruined.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! From now on, let alone becoming a monk, I don’t know how long I will be in jail.
"Abbott, please speak."
Dezhi looked at Qin Wenyuan and said: "Actually, this scam and the method of committing the crime were not what the poor monk thought, but someone told the poor monk."
"What?"
Qin Wenyuan was a little surprised.
His mind was suddenly spinning a thousand times.
Countless lightning flashes suddenly appeared in his mind.
At this moment, something seemed to be caught by him...
But there were too few clues for him to deduce everything.
He looked at Dezhi and said hurriedly: "What exactly is going on?"
Dezhi did not hide anything. He said: "Ten days ago, a pilgrim donated a lot of incense money. He said he was confused and hoped that the poor monk could help solve the problem, so the poor monk met him."
"The pilgrim was in his forties or fifties and was thin. He saw the poor monk. Before the poor monk could speak, he asked the poor monk whether he wanted to defeat Taoism in the debate between Buddhism and Taoism and whether he wanted to raise money.
Build a Buddhist altar."
"Ask about the Buddhist altar?" Qin Wenyuan was confused.
Dezhi said: "That is the place that the poor monk specially prepared to build for this debate on Buddhism and Taoism. Therefore, the few thousand silver taels are not enough because the poor monk wants to build it."
Qin Wenyuan narrowed his eyes and said, "You wanted to win so much, so you nodded?"
Dezhi nodded.
"As Lord Qin said, the poor monk was obsessed with obsession. He said he had a way to help the poor monk. The poor monk thought about it for a long time, but was finally defeated by his obsession."
"Then he told the poor monk about the scam and how to commit the crime! He said that as long as he followed his method, it would be foolproof. He also said..."
"What did you say?" Qin Wenyuan asked.
Dezhi looked at Qin Wenyuan and said: "If someone can crack the method he said, he will come here personally to finish it, so that the poor monk does not have to worry."
Even if he is discovered, as long as the poor monk bites him to death, there will be no problem, because no one can find evidence... It's just that the poor monk can't pass the test in his heart, and he doesn't want to make the same mistake again and again, so he takes the initiative to admit it.
When Qin Wenyuan heard Dezhi's words, his heart suddenly surged.
Behind Dezhi, there is another person.
Is this a perfect scam? It was not done by Dezhi at all.
Who is that?
Beichen?
Or is there someone else involved?
Qin Wenyuan thought for a moment, and suddenly, his eyes suddenly opened.
He said: "Oh no!"
Dezhi asked hurriedly: "What's wrong?"
Qin Wenyuan said: "Quickly, go to the place where you hid the money, there may be an accident."
Dezhi didn't know what Qin Wenyuan was thinking of, but seeing that Qin Wenyuan was so nervous, he didn't dare to delay and said hurriedly: "Master Qin, please come here."
"Xugou!"
Qin Wenyuan suddenly spoke.
Enough to run over: "Master."
Qin Wenyuan said: "You order people to leave immediately and stop anyone from going up the mountain, quickly!"
Xu Gou didn't know why Qin Wenyuan said this, so he nodded quickly and turned around to give orders.
At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the temple door.
Immediately, a voice was heard.
"Your Majesty is here, open the door quickly!"
When Qin Wenyuan heard this voice, his heart suddenly skipped a beat.
"Oops, it's late!"
Qin Wenyuan really wanted to curse his mother.
He has calculated everything.
The modus operandi, the scam, everything was uncovered.
But what he didn't expect was that there were other people behind the things Dezhi did.
In the final analysis, Dezhi is just a puppet.
He was manipulated by the people behind the scenes!
Then I contacted Beichen’s letter to me...
Many things, at this moment, were flashing through Qin Wenyuan's mind like a movie.
Each picture gradually became fixed.
One clue after another appeared directly in Qin Wenyuan's mind.
Many things finally became clear at this time.
But...it's already a little late!
Now His Majesty is here!
And I...the first time I met him was in a place like this!
Qin Wenyuan let out a breath.
He had already guessed what the person behind the scenes wanted to do, so he ordered Xu Gou not to allow anyone to go up the mountain.
But who knew that as soon as I finished speaking, His Majesty would come to my door.
this……
He was really speechless.
Xu Gou saw that Qin Wenyuan had a bad look on his face and couldn't help but said: "Young Master, Your Majesty is here, should we... open the door?"
Qin Wenyuan nodded and said calmly: "We are commoners, how can we have the power to stop His Majesty's will? Open the door."
"Furthermore, as expected, the Huasheng Temple is now accessible but not accessible. If His Majesty even seems to want to leave in a hurry, believe it or not, we will all be shattered into pieces immediately?"
When Xu Gou heard Qin Wenyuan's words, his expression couldn't help but change.
Abbot Dezhi on the side also looked pale. He couldn't help but look at Qin Wenyuan and said, "Master Qin, but...but what is going to happen?"
Xu Gou also looked at Qin Wenyuan nervously.
He had never seen such a solemn expression on Qin Wenyuan's face.
Even when he had a duel with Big Dipper and the person behind Princess Gaoyang, his young master was still confident in his wisdom.
Such solemnity is truly unprecedented.
This made him a little nervous.
Qin Wenyuan let out a gentle breath, and then the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and the solemn look on his face disappeared in an instant.
He sneered and said with a hint of a smile: "Plans never change quickly. There is no one in this world who can predict everything perfectly."
Having said this, Qin Wenyuan looked at Dezhi and said: "Master Dezhi, having said this, I, Mr. Qin, still want to thank you."
"If it weren't for you, maybe tonight, all of us would really be shattered to pieces."
"ah?"
The door of Dezhi's bright head is full of question marks.
Qin Wenyuan did not explain, he just chuckled and said: "It is not a bad thing to make your own decisions sometimes, but abbot, you made your own decisions unplanned by the people behind the scenes. I think... this is definitely a problem for the people behind the scenes.
A bad thing."
"And it was this self-assertion that finally caused a slight deviation in his prediction. Playing chess is like walking, the slightest deviation, when the distance is enlarged to infinity, it will be a world of difference."
Dezhi looked confused.
He found that he understood every word of Qin Wenyuan's words, but when connected together, he found that he understood nothing.
Dezhi couldn't help but look at Xu Gou.
Then he was stared back by the dog.
Why are you looking at me as if I understand?
In my wisdom, I don’t understand whether the basic operation is good or not!
Anyway, Xu Gou has become accustomed to strange things and doesn’t feel anything anymore.
As for Dezhi, for the first time he felt that he was mentally retarded and was suffering huge trauma in his heart.
At this time, the door of the temple was opened.
Li Shimin and his party quickly entered the temple.
Li Shimin kept searching, and when he saw Qin Wenyuan, his eyes suddenly lit up.
Suave, elegant and easy-going.
What a talent indeed!
No wonder Xiao Changle ran away with this guy.
When Li Shimin saw Qin Wenyuan, his eyes became softer.
Regarding this prince-in-law who had made many contributions to the Tang Dynasty, he only heard his name but never saw his person.
When I saw you today, I didn’t expect...
Or because his prince is missing.
"well."
Li Shimin sighed.
Immediately afterwards, he slowly walked towards Qin Wenyuan.
Seeing this, Qin Wenyuan quickly bowed and said, "Qin Wenyuan, a common man, has met your Majesty."
