Chapter 3: The plan to cheat Brother! Zhu Chongba colludes with the rebels
Zhu Qiwu took this letter, and then sneaked into the bedroom where the monks lived, and stuffed the letter under his brother Zhu Chongba's pillow.
"Well, you can see it now!"
Before Zhu Qiwu left, he pulled open the envelope and revealed a prefix.
After that, he was afraid of clapping and walked out.
After Zhu Qiwu walked out, he hid in the woodshed next to the monk's house and observed secretly.
After all, this kind of thing is still somewhat dangerous. After all, if a hot-tempered monk discovers it and goes directly to the abbot to report it, if officers and soldiers are attracted, Zhu Chong and the eighth brothers will be in trouble.
Therefore, Zhu Qiwu must respond as soon as he is discovered to achieve the purpose of forcing his brother to leave.
After a while, a fat monk walked in from the front yard with duck steps.
Zhu Qiwu recognized him at a glance from the window lattice.
This is Monk Zhiping from Huangjue Temple. This monk has a habit of flattering others. He is very popular with the abbot of Huangjue Temple. He often bullies others among the monks. My elder brother once disliked Monk Zhiping, and there was a dispute between the two.
Dissatisfaction.
"I wonder if Monk Zhiping can see that letter?"
Zhu Qiwu watched Monk Zhiping enter the monk's house, but did not come out for a long time.
Just as he was about to sneak to the back window of the monk's residence to take a look, a familiar sound of footsteps came.
"Brother is here." Zhu Qiwu hid quickly again.
Sure enough, the old man walked in with two full buckets of water.
After pouring two buckets of water into the water tank, the old man picked up the pole again and was about to go out again.
suddenly.
A faint laugh came from behind him.
"Hmph, Zhu Chongba, you are really capable!"
Because of the bad times, the temple did not have the money and food to open an incense altar and receive ordination. Zhu Chongba and his group of monks did not receive ordination and were given monastic names, so they naturally continued to use their original lay names.
As a result, the status of monks like Zhiping with dharma titles was obviously higher than that of monks like Zhu Chongba.
"Senior Brother Zhiping, what do you mean by this?"
Zhu Chongba turned his head and found that it was Monk Zhiping who had a grudge against him, and his expression suddenly became tense.
Monk Zhiping was always good at talking and was good at behaving in front of the abbot and the abbot.
Relying on the support of the abbot and abbot, he often bullied monks such as Zhu Chongba, who were also known as monks. The hard work of washing clothes, folding quilts, sweeping, fetching water and chopping firewood was all left to Zhu Chongba and others.
Not only that, Monk Zhiping is also very vindictive and extremely vengeful!
Anyone who dares to complain even after being bullied will have Monk Zhiping try his best to frame him and get revenge.
Zhu Chongba was bullied a lot by him and contradicted him many times.
Later, although I was not afraid of him, I tried my best not to provoke him in order to keep Huangjue Temple as my shelter.
"Haha, Zhu Chongba, you are in my hands now, let's see how I deal with you!" Monk Zhiping saw Zhu Chongba's nervous expression and was immediately delighted. He was already convinced that Zhu Chongba was colluding with the rebels.
.
"Senior Brother Zhiping, what do you mean? We haven't messed with you recently!" Zhu Chongba said with a confused look on his face.
"Hmph! Don't pretend to be confused with me. I've already seen your letter about colluding with the rebels!"
Monk Zhiping said as he waved the envelope in his hand.
Zhu Chongba was confused.
He didn't understand why he got involved with the rebels, but he quickly guessed that this must be Monk Zhiping's method to frame him.
He was very angry and anxious!
"Senior Brother Zhiping, you can't joke about this kind of thing, you can't push us to death!" Zhu Chongba almost begged.
When Monk Zhiping heard this, he immediately laughed angrily.
"Zhu Chongba, Zhu Chongba, I really underestimate you. Even when you are about to die, you are still pretending to be a coward with me. You colluded with the rebels yourself. Why the hell did I force you to do it!"
"Monk Zhiping said.
At the same time, he secretly thought: Are you going to start cheating and denying it? However, I have the anti-thief letter written in black and white in my hand, so I am not afraid of you cheating!
"Senior Brother Zhiping, please don't frame good people. Show us that letter!" Zhu Chongba said with an ugly face.
"You still dare to be so harsh, do you think I'm blind?"
Monk Zhiping shook the letter and opened it in front of Zhu Chongba.
"Brother Chongba is like a letter to you. He has raised a righteous army in Yingzhou, punished the tyrants of the Mongolian and Yuan Dynasties, and restored the glorious mountains and rivers of the Song Dynasty... Foolish brother Liu Futong."
Zhu Chongba learned to be proficient in calligraphy in the monastery, and he quickly finished reading this letter.
When he saw the signature Liu Futong, Zhu Chongba was already filled with rage.
Zhu Chongba secretly thought in his heart: God, why are you so cruel to us! When we were young, our parents and brothers starved to death, leaving us to beg for food and begging from Qi Wu. Finally, we became a monk in Huangjue Temple, working as cows and horses every day.
Two meals a day of coarse rice with wild vegetables will fill your stomach.
We are already so pitiful, but Monk Zhiping still used fake letters to frame us for colluding with the rebels. This is not giving us a way to survive!
"Liu Futong? Brother? Haha, Zhu Chongba, I'm going to tell the abbot right now, just wait for the officers and soldiers to catch you!" Monk Zhiping said with an arrogant smile.
He not only wanted to report the anti-thief letter to the abbot, but also asked the abbot to report it to the officials. Not only could he get rid of Zhu Chongba, a thorn in his side, but he could also get a large reward from the government.
Maybe if the county master is happy, he will reward himself with the job of supervising the temple!
Monk Zhiping felt proud and was about to walk out with big steps.
Seeing that Monk Zhiping was leaving, Zhu Chongba suddenly panicked.
If this letter is known to the abbot, at least he and his brother will be kicked out of the temple and become beggars and refugees again, or at worst, their heads will be lost!
Thinking of this, Zhu Chongba suddenly grabbed Monk Zhiping's arm and said in a low voice: "Senior Brother Zhiping, just tell me, what should we do to let us go?"
