Chapter 39: The extraordinary corner

Wei Chi and Xie Jiu can have the scope of investigation, namely the Pharmaceutical Factory and the Medical College. The financial systems of these two places were both planned by Xie Jiu based on the systems of later generations. The accounts of these two places can be said to be quite clear. Wei Chi had learned to read accounts under Xie Jiu's teachings, and it was difficult to fake it in front of two people who knew the modern financial system very well. After all, there was still a little difference between the Tang people and Wei Chi and Xie Jiu. Therefore, Wei Chi and Xie Jiu were not afraid of checking accounts at all, and they were still alive. What should they do in normal times?

Accounting and inventory are a protracted project, especially government departments, which can be rotated for several months. Small places like medical schools and pharmaceutical factories are already at the back when they are turned. The first thing to start the investigation is naturally the six key departments of the court.

When we started to investigate the six major departments of the court, we were staring at them, looking at them all, wanting to see if the six major departments of the court were clean. Even His Majesty Li Er did not say it clearly, he issued a special order to strictly investigate the six major departments. The six major departments are the key points of the court and are in charge of the affairs of the whole world. If the six major departments are also corrupt, then the Tang Dynasty will be almost the same.

As one of the leaders of the unit under investigation, Wei Chi is also very concerned about this investigation. When he has time, he will run to the Ministry of War. Occasionally, he will ask Tang Jian for information and find out the reason for this investigation. Speaking of which, everything is led by old man Wei Zheng.

Wei Zheng was in charge of the Censorate. As the chief of the Censorate, he supervised the court officials and advised His Majesty Li Er. In the 12th year of Zhenguan, the old man Wei felt that His Majesty Li Er seemed a little lazy and did not like to listen to the blunt words. So, while he was in the autumn hunt, he made a ten memorial to come out to give advice. After returning to the capital, because His Majesty Li Er wanted to build a small palace, Wei Zheng advised His Majesty Li Er not to know how to be frugal, and it was not as frugal as when he founded the country.

This made His Majesty Li Er furious. Of course, this furious was finally relieved by Empress Changsun, who understood His Majesty Li Er's temper. After His Majesty Li Er calmed down, he rewarded Wei Zheng again. After Wei Zheng was encouraged by this, he went to the point of being frugal. As he spoke, he talked about the recent work style and ethics of officials, and mobilized a lot of evidence from the Censorate and advised His Majesty Li Er that most officials in the world were still loyal to their duties, but a few had gradually become corrupt and too luxurious, which was a great harm to His Majesty's world. He asked His Majesty Li Er to issue an order to reorganize the official atmosphere and continue the prosperity of the Zhenguan Dynasty. His Majesty Li Er read the memorials and was furious, and issued an order to let the Censorate severely investigate, find out the black sheep among the officials, and oppose the luxury. So, there was such an investigation.

After hearing this, Wei Chi sighed, it turned out to be an ancient storm of integrity, but it couldn't be blown over his head. He adhered to the spirit of guiding that he was not concerned about his own affairs. Wei Chi still worked leisurely, went to work, studied, and lived. The storm of integrity in Beijing was blowing vigorously, and Fu Yi's son Fu Dun came to the door with an invitation.

"Hello...Sir Fu, I don't know what to look for Wei? But has the condition of Lord Ling Zun changed?"

Wei Chi looked at the white-haired elderly man in front of him hesitantly. The young master's son couldn't call him, so he simply changed to Master Fu. Anyway, both father and son were both officials and adults. Old man Fu Yi is old and plagued by illness. Wei Chi and Xie Jiu have also visited him, but Fu Yi's illness is very troublesome and cannot be treated with current medical conditions. In general, it is old and weak, and there is no way for anyone to do so unless he is a god.

Fu Dun said: "Master Wei, I wonder if you have heard of the Buddha teeth that have been circulated in the capital recently?"

Wei Chi nodded. He had heard of this. He heard that it was brought by a Brahmin monk. It was originally a big gossip that caused a sensation in the world. But it happened that it happened to encounter the storm of the imperial court, and the limelight was blocked. However, some women and children in the boudoir were rushing to go for a pilgrimage, hoping to get some Buddha's light, protect the whole family, and keep the family safe. Xie Jiu was also pulled by Mrs. Fang. When she came back, the guard Chi asked her if she had felt the Buddha's light. Xie Jiu just gave him a blank look and gave him a hum.

Now that Fu Dun came to the door, Wei Chi suddenly remembered something and understood it. By the way, according to the truth of history, this matter should have been exposed by Fu Yi. The recent situation has become a bit weird and unsure. Therefore, Wei Chi and Xie Jiu agreed not to show off when necessary, so as not to flap their wings over, so as to avoid the butterfly flapping their heads and implicating themselves and their family. Especially when there is a clean government everywhere, it is not a good decision to stand out. However, when Fu Dun came to the door, Wei Chi had a bad premonition, and seemed to have signs of running contrary to his wishes.

Wei Chi pondered the words and said, "When I was at school a few days ago, I heard from my colleagues that my wife and Mrs. Fang went to worship together. I have never been there yet. What? Mr. Fu, is there any problem with the Buddha's teeth?"

Fu Dun said: "According to people who have seen it, the Buddha's teeth are yellow and the candlelight is crystal clear, which is very magical. My father was ill in bed and heard this news from somewhere. My father once heard someone that there is something called diamond, which is also in this shape. I asked Lord Wei to break it with an antelope horn. My father said that Lord Wei is knowledgeable and can help me see through the liar's plot."

Wei Chi covered his face with his hands and thought, "You can't see me, you can't see me." However, he did not have Zhou Xingxing's special abilities, so he could only be regarded as a fantasy and comfort himself. In fact, he still had to explain: "Mr. Fu, there are more people in the capital who are respected or knowledgeable, and there are still more than Wei, so why don't you invite those people and have to stare at Wei?"

Fu Dun smiled at Wei Chi, bowed and said, "My father once said that no one in the capital can compare to Lord Wei in his knowledge of novel things. I would like to ask Lord Wei not to refuse. It would be foolish to the people, and it would be a feud for the women and children of the boudoir to be evil again. I would also like to ask Lord Wei to help me."

Wei Chi frowned, and seeing Fu Dun's persistence, he could only agree helplessly and go to Huichang Temple with Fu Dun. Although the Buddha's teeth were stolen by the storm of integrity, there were still people coming and going, mostly women, children and people, with pious expressions on their faces, and they were respectful to the Brahmin monks. Anyone who came here had charity. The Brahmin monk had bronze skin, wearing a monk's robe, and sat high in front of him. A handsome little monk next to him, Wei Chi knew him, and he was the Bian Ji.

When Bian Ji saw Wei Chi and Fu Dun come, he did not know Fu Dun, but knew Wei Chi, so he quickly put his hands together and bowed: "The little monk has met Master Wei, so how can Master Wei be?"

Wei Chi smiled and returned the politeness and said, "Master Bianji doesn't need to be too polite. I just heard that there are magical Buddha teeth here. Let's take a look. Why is Master Bianji here?"

Bian Ji said: "The Buddha's teeth were brought by this Master Moses Dadu from the Holy Land of India. The master did not speak Chinese. The young monk first understood Sanskrit, so the abbot sent a young monk to serve Master Moses Dadu as an assistant for communication."

After a long time, I just translated it, and said so much. Wei Chi nodded with a smile and said, "You are busy, let's take a look."

"Yes." Bian Ji stopped talking and stood quietly in front of the Brahmin monk. The Brahmin monk lowered his head and asked Bian Ji a few words. With a slightly closed look, he quietly looked at Wei Chi and Fu Dun and Bian Ji also whispered a few words. Wei Chi guessed that he was probably talking about the identity of the two.

After walking around, everyone was full of people who came to worship Buddha's teeth and holy objects. Fu Dun looked at the Brahmin monk coldly and sneered: "Master Wei, this monk is abominable. No one in the Tang Dynasty can recognize diamonds and cheat, which is very abominable!"

Wei Chi was not angry, and looked at Fu Dun indifferently, and comforted the people: "It's okay, it's because the people don't know that they will either destroy or be in awe of mysterious things. Lord Fu asked to come forward to expose the conspiracy of the liar, so as not to be deceived by the people of the Tang Dynasty again."

Fu Dun nodded, strode forward, pretending to be a worshiper, seeking to see the Buddha's teeth. The Brahmin monk opened his eyes slightly, glanced at Fu Dun and Wei Chi, shook their heads and refused, and said something like a joke. Bian Ji translated: "Master Wei, Master Mosesador said that Buddha's teeth are holy objects, and it is not something that ordinary people can watch at will. It is a great blessing to be lucky to worship. Can you see Buddha's teeth? You can also see the word "responsibility."

Wei Chi smiled, grabbed Fu Dun, who wanted to come forward to defend himself, and said, "Master Bianji, please tell Master Mosesdado that a few days ago, my wife had come to worship the holy objects, but she had no chance to see them. After returning, she was always worried and lamented that she had no chance to have the holy objects. I am here again today, and I am sincere. I hope that the master can see the holy objects, pay attention to the Buddha's light, pass on oneself, and transcend reincarnation. Mr. Wei's meaning is well conveyed."

Wei Chi smiled at Bian Ji. Bian Ji looked at Wei Chi in a plain manner and turned to talk to Mosesador. After talking for a long time, Bian Ji seemed to have really helped persuade him a lot. He repeatedly showed a look of prayer and asked many times before Mosesador nodded. Bian Ji showed a reassured expression and turned to Wei Chi and Fu Dun and said, "The master has agreed to let the two worship the holy objects, but the two must go out to clean up the dust on their bodies. We ordinary people, who worship the holy objects, should take a shower and change clothes. Today, the master has reduced many etiquettes for the sake of the two of them. Please understand."

Fu Dun and Wei Chi looked at each other, nodded at the same time, Wei Chi said, "Master Bian Ji, it is rare to have a fate today. With so many people coming, the master just agreed to let us worship the holy objects, which is also a Buddhist fate. It is better to ask the master to allow the people who come to worship the holy objects today to worship them with their own eyes. It can be regarded as promoting Buddhism and adding a good story and merit."

Bian Ji said, "Mr. Wei is very good to suggest, so the monk will go and lobby Master Mosesdado."

When Wei Chi and Fu Dun went out to Danchen came in, Bian Ji had already told Moses Dadu to allow the people present to watch Buddha's teeth together. So Bian Ji quickly went to report to the abbot and found someone to notify the people who came today to pay tribute to the holy relics together.

After everyone gathered, Moses Dadu was muttering and solemnly invited the holy objects and Buddha teeth to be released. He uncovered the yellow cloth layer by layer, revealing a small box with exquisite carvings. When he opened the box, there was a crystal clear yellow stone in the size of a tooth. Under the candlelight of the hall, the light was brilliant and charming, and with the lingering sandalwood, it really had a bit of Buddha's artistic conception.

At this time, Wei Chi stopped talking or worshipped, but just watched quietly. At this time, Fu Dun stepped forward and said aloud: "The master once said that this is a sacred object, Buddha's teeth, and it is unbreakable, right?"

After Bian Ji translated Fu Dun's words, Moses Dadu nodded and continued to recite scriptures. He was quite like a monk. Fu Dun sneered: "After my father heard that Buddha's teeth came to the Tang Dynasty, he once told me that there was a rare treasure in the world called diamond, which was unbreakable. Only antelope horns in the world can be broken. The master said that this is Buddha's teeth, not diamond, so I will try it out now."

After saying that, before everyone could react, they took out a horn-shaped thing from their arms and slammed the Buddha's teeth. The Buddha's teeth were shattered, which shocked everyone present to amazement. They all stared at the broken Buddha's teeth, unable to move. Wei Chi looked at the "Buddha's teeth" in surprise, looked at the horn that had made great contributions, walked forward, picked up the broken little piece to check, it looked like an uncarved diamond. However, as far as Wei Chi knew, the diamond seemed to be more valuable as the higher the purity. Wei Chi walked to the sun with a small piece and looked at the light. He looked at the light and found that the purity of this diamond was really not high. No wonder the hardest diamond in the world was shattered by an antelope horn.

Seeing that the so-called Buddha teeth were broken, Fu Dun laughed and said loudly: "Dear fellow villagers, this is not the so-called Buddha teeth at all, it is just a diamond. Please don't be deceived by other monks anymore and go home."

The scam has been revealed and the people no longer believe it. The Brahmin monk seemed to have never imagined that anyone could recognize this thing, his face turned pale, and all the monks who had just disappeared, and his footsteps moved slightly, and he wanted to run away.

The Bian Ji was alert and quickly reached out and pulled him. He was anxious and didn't care about speaking Sanskrit, so he directly came out of Chinese: "You monster monk, liar, I, Huichang Temple, have you deceived you! You have used my devoutly devotion to Buddha and other people, and you are shameless. The Buddha will definitely blame you!"

Wei Chi and Fu Dun both looked at Bian Ji together. Wei Chi thought to himself that he was indeed a famous guy in history. Judging from what he said, he was so good. Fu Dun snorted coldly, and also went to catch Moses Dadu, and said angrily: "I have come to my Tang Dynasty. I don't know the world is so high. Come and take it away!"

It turned out that Fu Dun had secretly ambushed people nearby. When he yelled, a police officer rushed up to capture Moses Darthau. When Moses Darthau saw someone coming to catch him, he urged: "I was wrong! I dare not! Please let me go!"

Although the accent was strange, it could still be understood. Wei Chi, Bian Ji, and Fu Dun looked at each other and sighed a little - it turned out that she could speak Chinese! She was really a liar, who had deceived them all!
