The people pointed their fingers one after another. You must know that a monk who is a monk is empty of all five aggregates. A monk and a girl in broad daylight will inevitably attract criticism.
Yuan Jiahe did not expect that things would turn out like this. She was afraid that the people would misunderstand, so she stood up in front of Xuan Du and said, "It's not what you think. He used to be a monk, but now he has become a secular man."
"Then you just admitted that you were having a tryst with him?"
Chen Zhiyong was a little aggressive and continued: "Could it be that you seduced this monk and made him abandon the Buddha and return to secular life? You are simply shameless."
"You're talking nonsense!"
Yuan Jiahe roared angrily, his eyes red.
Chen Zhiyong crossed his arms and said: "You said he has returned to secular life, who can prove it? Since he has returned to secular life, why do you have to cover up and wear a curtain? Isn't it because you feel guilty and don't dare to see people?"
The people felt that what Chen Zhiyong said was quite reasonable. If he was really a monk who had returned to secular life, why would he have to cover it up? He must have eloped.
For a monk to elope with a girl is something that cannot be tolerated by nature. How can such filthy things be tolerated in the pure land of Buddhism?
It was originally Chen Zhiyong's fault for being domineering, but because of Xuandu's identity, the whole thing took a turn for the worse, and the people also turned against Chen Zhiyong one after another.
He even went too far and picked up the vegetable leaves in the basket and threw them towards Xuandu and Yuan Jiahe: "Shameless."
"that is."
"Send them to see the official."
"Yes, send them to see the official."
"..."
The people responded with great enthusiasm and threw the vegetable leaves in their hands at Xuandu and Yuan Jiahe.
However, Xuan Du turned around to protect Yuan Jiahe in his arms, blocking her from the people's curses and attacks.
Yuan Jiahe raised his head and looked at Xuan Du, who was shielding her from the wind and rain, with tears in his eyes, and blamed himself: "I'm sorry, it's all my fault. I caused you trouble."
If she hadn't insisted on asking Chen Zhiyong to apologize to her, Xuandu would not have been attacked by the people. The people only believed what they saw in front of them, and they would not care whether Xuandu had really returned to secular life.
As long as he doesn't grow his hair, he is a monk. If he is with her, he is breaking the rules and regulations, which is not allowed by nature.
"It's me who's causing trouble for you."
Xuan Du lowered his eyes and looked at her. He didn't mind what the people said about him. What he cared about was that those ignorant people poured dirty water on Aluan.
She shouldn't have to endure this.
Yuan Jiahe shook his head, tears streaming down his face. Just then, the patrolling officers and soldiers rushed over.
Upon seeing this, Chen Zhiyong hurriedly said: "Captain Li is here just in time, hurry up and arrest this pair of ungrateful men and women."
The leader was the policeman from Xingping County Government. When he saw Chen Zhiyong, the policeman surnamed Li, he cupped his hands and asked curiously: "Mr. Chen, what happened?"
Chen Zhiyong said: "I don't know which temple this monk belongs to. I caught him having a tryst with a girl here in broad daylight and injured my guard. This is an unforgivable crime. The county magistrate should investigate it carefully."
OK."
"Is there such a thing?"
Agent Li looked at Xuan Du and Yuan Jiahe, but he knew very well that even if a monk eloped with someone, it was a private matter and the government had no control over it.
I think these two people must have offended Chen Zhiyong. Chen Zhiyong is the nephew of the county magistrate. He is used to running rampant in Xingping County and no one dares to offend him.
He, a small police officer, couldn't afford to offend him, so he gave the order: "Arrest them!"
