Chapter 271 Miaoyu Visits Shuntian Prefecture Again
I have to say that the advisors around Wei Ruolan are quite capable. At least they have handled the official business in the past half month in an orderly manner.
Sun Shaozong simply flipped through the transcribed copy of the official document. Although there was nothing particularly outstanding about it, it was well-balanced and it was obvious that it was the work of an experienced official.
Of course, a number of official documents that had to be handled by the governor inevitably accumulated.
Sun Shaozong had originally planned to take advantage of today's stay in the government office to finish those important documents, but he was injured after all, and he had been running around investigating cases for a long time. When he was reviewing the documents now, he felt weak.
Forget it~
It's better to take the document back and talk about it when you are free tomorrow - it can also be used as an excuse to get Cheng Rixing to "return to work".
By the way, after Sun Chengye failed the exam this time, he felt "ashamed to face the people of Jiangdong", so he prepared to bring his wives and concubines and family members to the capital to review for three years before taking the exam again.
However, in Sun Shaozong's opinion, Sun Chengye's biggest problem right now is his lack of psychological quality, not his lack of knowledge, so he intends to invite him to the mansion and give him the title of legal advisor.
Learning some mundane things was secondary; the main thing was to let Sun Chengye experience the world and broaden his mind.
Of course, this matter cannot be rushed. At least we have to get permission from his parents before we can ask Sun Chengye for his opinion.
Seeing that it was getting late outside, Sun Shaozong took a cork box from the multi-treasure window, put all the documents that needed to be processed into it, stretched his waist, and prepared to leave the government office.
Unexpectedly, just after leaving the inner room, Lin Delu hurried in, bowed and said, "Sir, Master Miaoyu from Rongguo Mansion is outside asking to see you, please..."
Why did this fake nun come here again?
Seeing that Sun Shaozong was puzzled, Lin Delu quickly added: "In fact, she originally wanted to ask to see Wei Tongpan, but Wei Tongpan went home on sick leave at noon, so..."
After listening to Lin Delu's explanation, Sun Shaozong realized that this was not Miaoyu's second visit to Shuntian Prefecture, but she had been here more than ten times!
That time, under the guidance of Sun Shaozong, after meeting the three nuns one by one, Miaoyu went back and stayed quiet for two days before coming to ask for a meeting again. It happened that Sun Shaozong was busy with the full-month banquet at that time, so Wei Ruolan came out to receive her instead.
It is said that Master Wei had a very pleasant conversation with the beautiful little nun, and immediately decided to allow her to come and go freely in the "house of confinement".
So from that day on, Miaoyu often went to visit the three pregnant nuns. Every time she went, she would give them a lot of money and ask the nuns to clean the body of the nun number one who wanted to commit suicide.
As for herself, she went to look for the possessed nun No. 2 and debated with her for half an hour. Then she went to the door of the bloodthirsty nun No. 3 and recited scriptures for purification of the mind and salvation in a loud voice.
Finally, after the nun No. 1 had cleaned herself up, she went back and chatted with her.
Tsk~
This fake nun is really...
If it were in modern society, with her perseverance, she might lack the professional qualities to be a psychological counselor, but she should have no problem working as a neighborhood committee auntie.
Sun Shaozong was not planning to meet her at first, but after hearing what she had done recently, he changed his mind temporarily, threw the wooden box on the table, and ordered, "Go and bring the person in."
Lin Delu immediately took the order and brought Miaoyu in soon.
After not seeing each other for many days, the fake nun was still wearing a patchwork robe that looked economical but was actually very valuable. She stepped forward, chanted the Buddha's name, bowed, and said, "I, the poor nun Miaoyu, greet the governor."
Hehe~
No matter from which 'angle' you look at it, she doesn't seem to be able to be described as 'poor'.
Sun Shaozong nodded slightly, which was considered a courtesy, and then asked directly: "I wonder if Master Miaoyu is visiting today and what do you want to ask me for help with?"
Although Miaoyu was somewhat displeased by the word "ask", she also knew that the Lord Sun in front of her was not as "courteous" to her as Master Wei, so she did not dare to appear too aloof and arrogant.
She said with a face as white as snow: "To be honest, I came here in the hope that you can be merciful and allow the three fellow practitioners of Shuiyue Temple to walk around in the courtyard every day, so that they won't be unable to see the sun all day and give rise to many evil thoughts."
As expected, the reason she came here this time was for those three nuns.
but……
Sun Shaozong frowned and questioned, "Three fellow practitioners? Could it be that even Zhishan, the nun who loves to kill people, has this Buddhist name? Do you want her to go out and vent as well?"
Miaoyu nodded calmly and said, "Amitabha, in order to further influence them and make them return to the embrace of Buddha, we must treat them equally - but you don't have to worry too much, my Lord. After my guidance these days, they have reflected on themselves a lot, and I think..."
"It's better not to 'think' about it anymore."
Sun Shaozong waved his hand and refused without hesitation: "If they have only violated the Buddhist precepts and are locked up in your Longcui Temple, you can reform them in any way you want."
"But what they have violated now is the imperial law, and the imperial court does not want them to be reformed, but to serve as a warning to others."
"So let's not talk about this matter!"
Those three nuns were all sentenced to immediate execution. The only reason they were not killed now was because they were pregnant. They would die after giving birth anyway. What difference did it make to Sun Shaozong whether they continued to nurture evil thoughts or became Buddhas on the spot?
It would be fine if it was just a matter of going with the flow, but these three nuns are dangerous.
In order to influence three doomed people, he let his subordinates take risks?
Just save your energy!
"grown ups!"
After hearing Sun Shaozong's resolute words, Miaoyu also became a little anxious. She took a half step forward, raised her head, and said excitedly: "They are both pregnant now. They are stuck in the house every day, and their bodies are getting weaker and weaker. Do you want to watch them die?!"
This big hat is really...
However, this reason is much more realistic than the question of "whether they can be reformed or not". After all, if the nuns were really killed, it would have some impact on Sun Shaozong's reputation.
Therefore, Sun Shaozong looked at her for a long while, then sighed helplessly: "After all, there are certain risks in doing this. I can't let those menial workers..."
Miaoyu said without hesitation: "How much silver do you need? I'll pay for it!"
This chick...
Could it be that he embezzled the public funds of Longcui Temple?
“It’s not all about the money.”
Sun Shaozong smacked his lips and said with some embarrassment: "Forget it, Master, you are so kind and generous, I can't refuse you anymore."
"How about this, go back and draw up a proposal, briefly list out how much money you are going to give, how many more people you need, and how long you hope they can be allowed to go out for exercise every day."
"Wait until you hand the petition over to the Criminal Law Department, and we'll decide how to deal with it."
Miaoyu saw that he was relieved, so she returned to her original place with satisfaction, bowed and said, "In this case, I will take my leave first."
Having said that, he walked out without hesitation.
This fake nun is really impetuous and won't say a word...
"grown ups."
Just as he was impressed by Miaoyu's swift and decisive actions, Miaoyu suddenly bent her snow-white neck when she reached the door and asked with a burning gaze, "Don't you have any prejudice against us Buddhist disciples?"
Sun Shaozong was stunned when he heard this, and when he was about to respond, she had already lifted the curtain and walked out of the hall.
baffling!
Is it not okay to hate monks?
Sun Shaozong swung his sleeves unhappily, rolled up the cork box full of official documents, and prepared to leave the government office.
"Sir, are you really going to do what this little nun says?"
At this time, Lin Delu, who had been standing next to them like a clay or wooden sculpture, could not help but remind them: "Those three nuns have killed people. If we let them out and something unexpected happens ..."
"Who said I promised her?"
Sun Shaozong said nonchalantly, "Starting tomorrow, I will take leave to prepare for my brother's wedding. By then, the decision of the Criminal Law Department will naturally be made by Judge Wei Tong. Doesn't he have a good chat with the little nun? Let him handle this matter."
Having said that, he left the hall on his own, leaving Lin Delu there sighing: Lord Zhizhong is indeed Lord Zhizhong, this casual delay has set a trap for the opponent again.
