Chapter 40 Two-color lotus 12(2/2)
Huo Weilou turned his eyes to Huo Qinghong. Huo Qinghong thought he had said the wrong thing and covered his mouth and took two steps back. However, Huo Weilou said, "Your incompetence has finally become useful."
Huo Qinghong was surprised and then showed joy. Huo Weilou asked Fan, "Was the items in the temple prepared for the ceremony?"
Lefan nodded, "It's true, but like the Buddha-shaping, the monk in charge is responsible for this matter, and there are still many outsiders under the craftsmanship."
"Then do you remember how this lotus platform was prepared?"
Lefan shook his head helplessly, "I don't know this little monk."
Huo Weilou looked at Jue, and Yejue shook his head, "At that time, the temple began to prepare these things early in the morning. After the people from the Ministry of Rites came, they would check it. Lord Feng was also supervising them. Most of the craftsmen were carpenters in Luozhou. The monk in charge of the matter at that time... seemed to be Senior Brother Lehui."
Lehui was the monk who led the way to Wanfo Cliff that day. Huo Weilou sent someone to summon him. As soon as he asked about the lotus platform, Lehui said, "The lotus platform is made by carpenters in the city. It is made of Buddha lotus. It is hollow inside and has red paint on the outside. Later, after someone from the Ministry of Rites came to check it out, he put it in the warehouse together and was taken care of by a special person."
Huo Weilou stared at, "Who is the guardian?"
Le Hui said: "At that time, the places such as warehouses were all guarded by the Luozhou Prefecture Government Office and the Luozhou garrison. The young monk couldn't remember who was being guarded here."
Lehui was calm the day before yesterday, but now she was quite nervous and afraid when she saw Huo Weilou. Jingming and Liaoqing have now been taken care of. As Jingming's apprentice, he is naturally quite in danger.
"How did the lotus platform deal with it later?"
Le Hui hurriedly said, "First it was placed in the warehouse, and later it was moved to the Buddhist temple to worship Buddha treasures. Two years ago, a batch of decayed utensils were replaced in the temple, and the lotus platform was replaced."
Huo Weilou pondered for a moment and made Hui retreat, "It seems that it was normal later. However, if this thing was to hide people, the guard would definitely not not know. Whether the person in charge of the guard was Feng Lun or Yue Mingquan, it is not known yet. If the thief thought about using this method early in the morning, how could he know that it would rain that day? If it had not rained, he would not cover the lotus platform with an umbrella and not cover the lotus platform, and if there was a key, how could he steal the relics?"
Lin Huai said: "It's an unknown number. Unless they have made other preparations, even if it doesn't rain, other chaos will arise. At that time, you will always find an opportunity to take action while taking advantage of the chaos."
Huo Weilou looked at Lu Ke, "How about Jingming and Qing in the past two days? What else can I say?"
Lu Ke shook his head, "No, the master and apprentice recited the scriptures for a day and a night, and it really seemed like they were regretting."
Liao Fan and Liao Jue stood aside, and were still a little angry when they heard this. Huo Weilou's eyes were shady. After a moment, he suddenly asked Liao Fan, "What kind of temperament is your master? How could he be ruled seriously at that time?"
When Lefan heard this, he realized that Huo Weilou had thought that Jingkong had not revealed the Qing Dynasty in front of others at the first time, and immediately said: "Although Master is compassionate, he is not a person who is compassionate and has no principles. He is extremely strict with our senior brothers and others in their studies, but he treats us very kindly outside of the studies. He is also patient with the monks and ordinary monks in the temple and has never presided over the airs. Unless someone makes a mistake, if it is an unintentional mistake, it will be a warning. If it is done intentionally, it is a small mistake. In the Master's opinion, it is also an evil thought and must be punished."
"My master did not immediately reveal Senior Brother Qing. Although he had benevolent thoughts, it was because the matter was serious at that time. He did not dare to be careless. Ruo... Master Ruo had not had any problems, Senior Brother Qing would probably be severely punished, but he was harmed by others and there was no such opportunity."
As Liao Fan said, sadness arose on his face. Huo Weilou pondered for a moment. After Yi Ling and the others retreated, he frowned, "We were wrong before."
Lin Huai and Madam Fu both looked over, and seemed puzzled, but Bo Ruoyou was also thinking about something.
Huo Wei said: "Jingkong may not necessarily go to Feng Lun and Wu Yu."
"It seems that the officials at that time were all of them with high positions and power, and to Famen Temple, everyone was outsiders. Jingkong's first reaction was to find people they knew each other well and trusted. However, Jingkong was not familiar with anyone, so he went to find someone's personality. He was a very clear person with a clear distinction between black and white. Moreover, Feng Lun and Wu Yu at that time were not worthy of his trust."
Lin Huai and Fu's father-in-law were even more puzzled. Huo Weilou said, "Of the four of them, only Feng Lun and Wu Yu believe in Buddhism. The only people who bought Buddhist scriptures and the stolen relics who steal relics must be people who know a lot about Buddhism. Both of them have preached to Jingkong and may also talk about the five-level treasure letters and relics. Later, something happened. If you think from Jingkong's perspective, only those who believe in and worship Buddha will start stealing relics from Buddhist scriptures. Then will he dare to go to Feng Lun and Wu Yu?"
Lin Huai said: "But Jingkong had already begun to doubt them at that time?"
"People who buy Buddhist scriptures privately are either rich or noble, but they prepare for the ceremony for several months, and they defended the inside and outside layers, but the relics were still lost. No matter who thinks, they know that something must have happened, but the officials were unaware of anything. Moreover, they had been chasing for a few days at that time, and Jingkong might have his own doubts, and it is very likely that he would choose someone who seems to be the most unrelated to ask."
After Huo Weilou finished speaking, Lin Huai felt enlightened, but hesitated again, "Then in this way, they were still quite suspicious. When the Marquis asked him the three of them, he did not see any flaws. It was just that Lord Wang was quite protective of Lord Wu in his words, and when he talked about General Yue, he was somewhat targeted."
Eunuch Fu said justice: "They are in good condition. General Yue has naturally had no connection with them in the army over the years. That day, Lord Wu invited General Yue to see the pagoda, and General Yue also said bluntly."
Bo Ruoyou suddenly raised his head, "Dude, has Mr. Wu invited General Yue to see the pagoda?"
Eunuch Fu nodded, "Yes, our family was standing next to us at that time. He looked at General Yue with a light look at the sky, and then rejected Lord Wu. He didn't seem to want to make friends with him."
