When President Jin saw it, his face immediately dropped.

Although he was a monk from Zhongtianzhu, he had been actively studying and integrating into the society of the Song Dynasty since he entered the Song Dynasty in the first year of Yuanfeng.

So he knew very well that the Song Dynasty was most concerned about filial piety.

Even the royal family takes the title of Jingtianfazu.

Now, someone else's ancestral grave has been stolen.

Therefore, it is reasonable for his descendants to come to hold him accountable, complain, and complain.

What’s even more troublesome is that the person who was stolen has a very high status!

President Jin already knew it on the way here - a Hanlin scholar at the founding of the Song Dynasty, a scholar-bureaucrat who wrote a Zen poem for Emperor Taizu!

This is poking a hornet's nest.

President Jin had no time to think too much and quickly got off his horse. Surrounded by other monks, he raised the Zen staff given to him by the late emperor and proclaimed the Buddha's name: "Amitabha!"

As soon as the onlookers saw that he was wearing a purple robe, holding a gilded Zen staff, and that his face clearly did not look like that of the Central Plains, they automatically and consciously made way for him.

Foreign monks, enjoy chanting sutras!

The same was true in the Song Dynasty.

Especially monks who have an obvious appearance of foreign monks will be treated with courtesy wherever they go.

President Kim put his hands together and bowed his head to the passers-by who gave way to him. Then he walked forward with his Zen staff in hand. Several officials came forward to greet him and scolded: "Who is that person?"

"Amitabha!" Jin Zongchang made eleven salutes: "Poor monk, the Master Tripitaka of the West has given the purple-robed monk Jin Zongzhi to see the Lord."

He already knew that the person who personally led the people to seal the Juezhao Temple was Cai Jing.

The officials looked at each other, then looked at Mr. Jin, their tone began to soften, they bowed together and said: "Master, please stay here for a moment, I will go and pass the message soon."

This face is not for Mr. Kim.

Mr. Kim has been in charge of Bible translation for only ten years.

Moreover, when he took over, it was already the time when Yuanfeng was restructured, and the prime minister no longer served as translator and envoy.

Therefore, his influence in Bianjing is not great.

However, his predecessor, Richen, an eminent monk from Tianzhu who also came from Tianzhu, presided over the Translation Court and the Sutra Translation Institute for a long time from Qingli to the ninth year of Xining, translated hundreds of Buddhist scriptures, hosted more than a hundred water and land Dharma meetings, and served as a savior for believers.

The sermons are countless.

Therefore, everyone in Bianjing will respect the monks who hold the title of "Master of Tripitaka of the West".

Those who believe in Buddhism regard it as the incarnation of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas in the human world and respect it with great respect.

President Jin also knew this, so he politely said, "Thank you, all laymen."

Soon, the news of Mr. Jin's arrival was reported to Cai Jing, who was conducting an inspection in Juezhao Temple.

"Master Tripitaka of the West?"

"President Kim?!" Cai Jing frowned.

He didn't want to see it.

But, it seems inappropriate not to see him. If word gets out, people may think that he has a guilty conscience.

So he ordered: "Go and ask the Master to come in and meet you."

President Kim was then invited to appear in front of Cai Jing.

"Amitabha!" When President Jin saw Cai Jing, he bowed his head and bowed: "This poor monk has seen the Buddha."

"Master, are you here for the Juezhao Temple case?" Cai Jing asked.

President Jin nodded and bowed again: "I already know the details of the case."

"The monks of Juezhao Temple are inherently wrong, but their sins do not end there."

"It's just a lack of care and an unintentional mistake!"

"I also ask the Master to give Juezhao Temple some dignity for the sake of the Buddha and Bodhisattvas."

President Jin had been dealing with the powerful people of the Song Dynasty for ten years, and he knew that these big people liked to talk about dignity.

"Inadequate care? An unintentional mistake?" Cai Jing smiled and said to himself: "Still decent?!"

Who didn’t show respect to whom first?

The tomb of a dignified Hanlin scholar from the imperial dynasty was stolen right under the nose of the monks in this temple.

If it's stolen, just steal it.

The monks of Juezhao Temple also preached everywhere that they held the pottery hub and were sure that they could wear the Diao Chan crown during their lifetime, but ended up with no bones after death. They used it as a fable and story to attract publicity and promote karma.

This is riding on the head of the scholar-bureaucrats.

On the contrary, it belongs to Tiangang!

Not to mention, they ran directly into the hands of the officials.

Now it's all right. The official issued an order to find the victim, and another decree was sent to him, asking him to "enforce the law impartially."

Cai Jing looked at President Kim, shook his head and said, "How can the national law tolerate favoritism?"

"Master, there is no need to say anything. This government has accepted Mrs. Tao's complaint and will definitely investigate it to the end!"

“Let’s see, is it the monk from Juezhao Temple who failed to take good care of him and made an unintentional mistake, or is it because he colluded with others inside and outside to steal other people’s ancestral graves and destroy the bones of scholars?”

President Jin trembled when he heard this, but he could only bite the bullet and continue to plead: "Fu Zun Mingjian and the monks of Juezhao Temple are all kind-hearted monks who abide by the law and abide by the precepts. They will definitely not commit such crimes.

It is a shameful thing that goes against the teachings of Buddhism and insults the serenity of ascetics!"

Cai Jing's attack is too deadly!

Because the business of contemporary temples, in addition to the normal traditional business such as burning incense, praying for blessings, and praying.

The pillar industry is to look after the tombs of other people's ancestors, pray for them, and recite sutras.

Every ancestor buried in a temple means a stable and reliable income from incense.

His descendants and descendants will steadily donate a sum of money to the temple every year when they worship their ancestors, sweep the house, and burn incense.

This money is what many temples rely on for their survival.

Especially small and medium-sized temples, they almost rely on business to survive.

Now, if Juezhao Temple is found out, it is because the monks were in charge of the tomb robbery or conspired with the tomb robbers to rob the tomb.

Once established, the blow to the temple's reputation will be devastating.

It may even affect the royal family's view of monks.

Cai Jing listened and smiled: "I hope so!"

"But I will find out!"

"I will never wrongly accuse a good person, but I will never let a sinner go!"

"Amitabha..." President Jin could only bow his head and continue to plead: "It's just that all the temples are filled with people who are practicing asceticism, and some of them may be old and sick."

"If he is imprisoned in the government office, the poor monk will be afraid of his misfortune..."

The prison in Kaifeng Mansion is notoriously easy to die from.

"May the Lord have mercy and detain the monks to Kaibao Temple or Taiping Xingguo Temple..."

"The poor monk is willing to guarantee that no one will ever..."

Cai Jing shook his head and said, "Master, there is no need to say any more."

"This government has taken this into consideration, so we will detain all the monks to Fengxian Temple and ask the Ancestral Temple Department and the Senglu Department to send people to take care of them."

Fengxian Temple is the burial place of Taizu and Empress Dowager Du, Taizong’s biological mother.

At the same time, she is also the palace maid in the imperial city, and the only place where the little yellow gates can direct sacrifices and pray for blessings.

It is also the place of retirement and burial for most of the ministers and female officials (if they have no adopted children or descendants).

Therefore, the monks who practice in this temple are all old monks, ministers, and female officials who have no children.

When President Kim heard this, he understood that he could no longer convince Cai Jing.

He had no choice but to bow his head and say: "Amitabha, the Master has thought carefully about this."

"The poor monk will come to Kaifeng Mansion tomorrow to beg for an audience with the officials." He said half threatening, half reminding.

Cai Jing laughed and did not answer his words. He just said to his left and right: "See you off!"

Mr. Jin paid homage to the chief inspector again and was about to leave when he heard Cai Jing's voice and said leisurely: "Instead of tossing and turning over this, Master, it is better to go to Xuande's gate and take a look at the edict and notice posted in the capital hall the day before yesterday."

Mr. Jin holds a sentence, the capital hall? An edict and an announcement?

What's the meaning?

But he knew that this was the guide of the immortal.

The other party was pointing out the direction for him, and was also implicitly reminding him of the crux.
