Chapter 223 Useless Mercy
But Miaoyu took a few steps forward and suddenly saw Sun Shaozong returning to the yard. She hurriedly took a few steps back until she had a certain distance from Sun Shaozong, and then she stopped cautiously.
Hearing Sun Shaozong's loud questioning, she secretly gritted her teeth, suddenly put her palms together and said, "Amitabha, after listening to Master Bao's explanation that day, I realized that I had wrongly accused you, sir. Please be magnanimous and don't hold it against me."
She chants Buddhist names and refers to herself as "I, I". I really don't know whether she can be considered a nun or not.
but……
However, Sun Shaozong had already seen through one thing.
"snort."
He snorted coldly and said disdainfully, "Alright, if you have anything you want me to help you with, just tell me directly. Who are you trying to fool by pretending to be so hypocritical?"
It turned out that Miaoyu's "no" compensation was made reluctantly, and it was obvious that she had other intentions.
"Your Excellency really has good eyesight."
Although she was exposed, Miaoyu did not feel anything. She clasped her hands together and said solemnly, "To be honest, I called you to stop me because I wanted to ask for forgiveness for the fellow practitioners in Shuiyue Temple. Although they have also committed many sins, they were forced by others after all, so it can be said that their circumstances are excusable."
Sun Shaozong didn't expect that she was actually going to plead for mercy for the nuns in Shuiyue Temple - isn't it said that people in the same profession are enemies?
"Haha, that's a pretty extenuating circumstance."
After laughing, he said seriously, "Haven't you heard of the saying 'there are extenuating circumstances, but unforgivable crimes'? Since those nuns were accomplices in murder, they will naturally not escape the punishment of the law."
When Miaoyu first saw him, she was like a frightened bird.
When it comes to serious business , she is tall and slender, with a unique awe-inspiring demeanor.
Then she said, "No matter how unforgivable their crimes are, the fetuses in their bellies are always innocent. Buddha said that saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda, and there may not be only one life - I hope you can show some leniency and stop committing more sins of killing."
"You don't need to tell me about this."
Sun Shaozong sneered and said, "The Great Zhou law has long stipulated that any pregnant woman who commits a serious crime will be punished after giving birth to the baby - so the nuns are only under house arrest and not thrown into prison."
As he spoke, seeing Miaoyu chanting the Buddha's name with a happy face, he added: "But don't be too happy too soon, the real trouble is still to come."
"later?"
"That's right."
Sun Shaozong spread his hands and said, "These evil offspring of Buddhism are involved in a serial murder case that has shocked the capital. Do you think anyone would be willing to adopt those children?"
After a pause, he suddenly suggested, "By the way, since you care so much about this matter, I wonder if you are willing to raise these children and bring them up with all your heart and soul?"
He had long noticed that the nun had mysophobia, so he deliberately spoke in a disgusting way just to see the reaction of this fake nun.
"this……"
Sure enough, if those adjectives had not been added, Miaoyu might have agreed without thinking, but when she heard what he said was disgusting, the fake nun frowned and hesitated for a long time without making up her mind.
"Hahaha...what a compassionate Buddhist disciple!"
Sun Shaozong laughed and said disdainfully: "Since you are unwilling to give anything, you'd better show less useless " mercy" in the future - goodbye!"
He thought that after delaying for so long, Ping'er should have already slipped away, so he was too lazy to continue arguing with Miaoyu. He sneered, flicked his sleeves, turned around and walked out of the courtyard.
When he got outside, Ping'er was nowhere to be seen. Sun Shaozong acted as if nothing had happened and just ran down the slope.
"Master Sun, please stay!"
When he reached the bottom of the slope, he suddenly heard Miaoyu's call from behind. Sun Shaozong looked back and saw the fake nun rushing towards him. When she came close, she stroked her chest and panted, "Can I go see those fellow practitioners?"
Seeing that Sun Shaozong was puzzled, she said calmly, "I am just a monk with my hair untied now, and I am not a great monk. I really cannot be completely unrelated. I will feed the tiger with my body and the eagle with my meat. Let me meet those fellow practitioners a few times, get to know each other, and then decide whether to adopt their children."
This fake nun is really good at talking to herself. Just now it was just a "meeting", but in the blink of an eye it became "meeting several times".
Besides, adopting a few children is nothing compared to feeding a tiger with one's own body or feeding an eagle with one's own flesh.
but……
If she was really willing to adopt those children, it would save the Criminal Law Department a lot of trouble - you know, even the Health Hall set up by the Welfare Department would avoid such evil offspring as much as possible.
"It's not impossible for me to let you see him."
Sun Shaozong hesitated for a moment, then reminded: "But someone must accompany you at that time - it's not that I don't trust you, but I'm mainly afraid of what they might do."
"What will they do?"
"People who are about to die often take extreme actions." Sun Shaozong smiled grimly, "You'll know when the time comes."
Having said that, he set off again without looking back.
"Extreme behavior..."
Miaoyu chewed over these four unfamiliar words over and over again. At first, her face showed some signs of retreat, but soon her expression became firm again.
Let’s not talk about how Miaoyu was struggling in her heart.
But after Sun Shaozong walked away for a distance, he began to worry again. Now that the remote courtyard had been "targeted" by Miaoyu, how could he meet Ping'er in secret?
He wandered around aimlessly for a while when he suddenly heard a few shouts from afar, and it was someone calling out his official position.
"Sun Zhizhong, Lord Zhizhong!"
Sun Shaozong hurriedly went towards the direction of the voice, and when he got closer to the person who was shouting, he was stunned. He saw that the person was tall and handsome, with one of his right arms tied around his waist, and he walked in an indescribable awkward manner.
"You are... Jia Yun?"
It turned out that this person was none other than Jia Yun, who had been angered by Jia Qin and almost lost his life.
"It's my nephew."
Jia Yun knelt down with difficulty, and said with his head on the ground, "Since my uncle rescued me that day, I have always remembered it in my heart, but I didn't dare to come to your house rashly. I just heard that my godfather wanted to come here to question you, so I took the initiative to ask for this task, just to be able to thank my uncle in person!"
Sun Shaozong asked in confusion: "Godfather? Who is your godfather?"
Jia Yun stood up and said, "Second Uncle Meng Bao has not abandoned me and has accepted me as his son. Now I am here to help him with some trivial matters."
Tsk~
He is clearly a few years older than Baoyu, yet he acknowledges Baoyu as his father.
This is really...
Sun Shaozong reached out his hand speechlessly to help him up, but he didn't know what to say. In the end, he could only squeeze out a sentence: "It's really hard for you."
When Jia Yun heard this, his eyes immediately turned red. He lowered his head to hide his emotion and forced a smile, saying, "Uncle, please follow me to the front yard. Don't keep godfather waiting for too long."
