Capítulo 1762: Chapter 1769 Who Grabbed Juhua (1)

At that moment, Cai Wei contacted Brother Ying, asking it to see if there was anything suspicious in the clean room. Brother Ying in the space opened its perspective eye and saw clearly with just one glance.

“Master, although these clean rooms are tightly secured, they all have secret passages that can be entered!”

So that’s how it is. Cai Wei’s smile deepened. She tugged on Nangong Yi’s sleeve and said, “Husband, why don’t we make a request too, since we are already here.”

Nangong Yi saw her secretly making eyes at him and said, “Alright, after we’ve had our fun, we can come back and make a request!”

The monk was thrilled to hear Cai Wei was willing to seek offspring here. He smiled broadly, saying, “You both go early and come back early; later we still have to burn incense and seek favors. I will have the vegetarian meal prepared to treat you both later.”

“No need, we brought our own food!” Saying this, Cai Wei led Nangong Yi away.

Outside, Cai Wei said, “Yi, this Baohua Temple indeed has something fishy going on. Brother Ying just said that although these clean rooms are tightly secured, they all have secret passages that can be entered. It must be that the monks of the temple take advantage of the women seeking offspring here, sneaking in and taking advantage while they sleep. When those women awake, they’ve already been sullied. If they try to speak out, they’re afraid their reputation might be tarnished further, so they endure the shame. Firstly, women are healthy, clear-headed from the fast; secondly, young and robust monks may take turns, hence many become pregnant, nine out of ten times.”

After listening, Nangong Yi angrily said, “These thieving donkeys! How dare they pretend to be gods, deceive the people, and commit adultery with the virtuous! I must deal with them according to the national law and publicize their conduct to the world, to reassure the people’s hearts.”

Cai Wei hurriedly said, “You must not! If you truly do so, it will only be a disguised form of killing!”

Nangong Yi was puzzled and said, “I am punishing treachery and rectifying chaos, how can that be called disguised killing?”

Cai Wei said, “Think about those women who came here for offspring, once the crimes of the monks are exposed, how can their husbands’ families still tolerate them? And those innocent children, once the matter is exposed, most will be abandoned or drowned, and unborn ones will not be allowed to be born, likely resulting in one corpse, two lives. So I say, you’re not ridding the people of harm, but harming them instead!”

Though the monks deserve death for their crimes, those women and children are innocent, especially the women. They are victims already by being defiled by the monks, and if their husbands’ families won’t accept them and their children are also harmed, wouldn’t they be pitiful? And wouldn’t all this be due to Nangong Yi meddling too much?

Although Cai Wei’s argument was reasonable, Nangong Yi still felt indignant, saying, “These thieves live within the Buddhist gates, yet instead of diligent practice and strict observance of the precepts, they indulge in overwhelming evil, disturbing the law and order. If I don’t expose and execute them, my heart will not be at peace. How can I warn others in the future?”

Cai Wei laughed and said, “The best way to punish someone is not to kill them, but to make living harder than dying. These monks, within the Buddhist gates, do not think to practice vegetarian and meditation, but instead commit acts contrary to heavenly principles and human ethics. Even if you wish to spare them, I will not let them go. Rest assured, I will ensure they receive their due punishment without affecting those innocent women and children!”

“What is your plan?”

“I’ll tell you later…”

The two of them spoke as they found a secluded place and entered the space.

It was almost late morning, and they were not accustomed to the meals outside, so they returned to the space to make their own food.

…

The monk who had encouraged Cai Wei thought she truly came to seek offspring. Receiving Cai Wei’s permission, he was overjoyed, heading back to the Zen room to bathe, fume himself with incense, and changed into clean monk robes, eagerly waiting for the night to spend a romantic evening with this beautiful lady.
