The Famous Detective of the Red Mansion

Chapter 305: Mourning and Revealing the False Compassion of a Nun [(2)]

Miaoyu was usually the most joyful and clean, but now that she has been contaminated with many impurities, how could she tolerate it?

Naturally, she replaced her clothes as soon as possible.

It was also the first time Jia Baoyu seeing Miaoyu dressed up as a layman.

Especially the ready-made clothes she bought temporarily were slightly smaller, which could only wrap around the real material, making her original worldly temperament instantly bright and charming to the extreme.contemporary romance

It was precisely this strong contrast that added a unique flavor to her already stunning appearance.

Others were just fine, but Baoyu saw that her face was pale and timid, not as free and easy as before. He immediately fell into the old habit of loving and cherishing jade again. He calmly approached her and asked with concern, "Good sister, you were scared

As he spoke, he stomped his foot again and said, "If I had known about this disaster earlier, I would have taken a few steps to protect you.

Although Miaoyu was still in shock, upon hearing his sincere words, she still smiled and said, "Since it is a disaster, how can it be easily avoided?

Jia Baoyu still had a few words with her, but Wei Ruolan beside him couldn't wait anymore. He raised his voice and urged, "Lady Miaoyu, please expose the faces of these naughty women normally.

As he spoke, he gave Sun Shaozong a sidelong glance and sneered, "It also saves you from being suspicious and playing the role of the Heavenly Master over there, Lord Sun.

Miaoyu had originally seen two female prison guards with a mournful and miserable appearance and hesitated a bit. However, upon hearing Wei Ruolan's urging, her heart hardened again.

Lord Sun.

As she met Sun Shaozong's scrutinizing gaze, she firmly raised her head and lifted her cherry lips, saying, "I swear in the name of Buddha, every word spoken today is true.

Before I went to the house arrest, they would wash the child's body every few days. But since I asked them to wash the child, if I didn't give them enough money, they wouldn't do anything.

Afterward, these women often cleverly claimed bribes, and when there was slight discomfort, they were full of foul language and sarcastic remarks...

It's unjust!

When the two prison guards heard this, they immediately called out injustice and said, What position are we in? How dare we speak foul language to the Young Abbess? This is really a great injustice!

Miaoyu gave her both a slanted glance, and her tone became even colder. "How much difference can there be between pointing mulberry leaves, cursing locusts, and directly insulting them?

Not to mention these old stories, during today's visit to the prison, as I only donated half a string of copper coins, you gathered together and said some sour words, regardless of the whereabouts of the wise and virtuous nun. That's what happened later.

Speaking of this, she said with some righteous indignation, "Although the child wanted to murder at the beginning, she was quickly restrained, but you guys didn't give up and rushed forward to kick her.

I clearly told you to stop immediately at that time, but you kept venting on her until... Until her stomach

Speaking of this, she couldn't help but recall the situation where the fetus, who was pinkish but was covered in dirt, pus, and blood, was forced into her arms, and for a moment, she felt a tumultuous sensation in her stomach.

Miaoyu hurriedly recited a few Buddhist chants and calmed her mind for a moment before lamenting, "Although the child fell into the downside of the world for a moment, how innocent is the baby in her womb? The child didn't even have time to take a look at this world, and..."

Seeing her sobbing and adding sympathy, Jia Baoyu changed his stance and exclaimed without hesitation, "They are indeed a group of unruly women. If these people are not severely punished, how can there be any law?

So?

Wei Ruolan looked at Sun Shaozong provocatively and sneered. "After hearing what Lady Miaoyu said, can you still protect them, Lord Sun?

Without waiting for Sun Shaozong to respond, he solemnly ordered, "Someone, come and catch

Wait a minute.

Unexpectedly, Sun Shaozong shouted 'Wait a minute' again.

At this moment, not only was Wei Ruolan's expression not good, but Jia Baoyu and Miaoyu also looked puzzled.

What's up?

Wei Ruolan asked aggressively, "Is it true that you want to plead for them, Lord Sun?

Second Brother, why do you need to

Baoyu also had a hesitant expression on his face.

Facing this kind of situation, Sun Shaozong still had a faint expression and casually asked Cheng Rixing beside him, "Private Advisor Cheng, did it ever be explicitly stipulated in the laws of the Zhou Dynasty that prison guards should clean the bodies of prisoners every few days?

Report back to Master, never.

Never?

Sun Shaozong's gaze turned back to Miaoyu and he said, "So, aren't these vulgar and greedy evil women in your mouth also motivated by their kindness to clean the body of that child?

I heard that Buddhist disciples are most particular about guiding others toward goodness, but with a few pieces of silver, you successfully incited their greed and extinguished their kindness. This Buddhist method is truly wonderful.

Upon hearing this, Miaoyu showed some shame on her face. She had just used this as an example to prove the greed of those prison guards. How could she have thought, in the blink of an eye, that Sun Shaozong would retaliate and point out that she was the root cause of this greed?

She also knew in her heart that using money to bribe others was not a proper approach.

She would rather die than have to personally clean up the excrement and urine on others' bodies, as taught in the Buddhist scriptures.

Therefore, subconsciously, she attributed all of this to the greed of the prison guards.

Now, being interrupted by Sun Shaozong's words, it became difficult to speak.

Fortunately, she was not alone at the moment. Wei Ruolan immediately stood up and retorted, "Regardless of these, they neglected their duties and abused lynching, resulting in the death of the fetus. It's not fake, isnt it?

It is naturally not fake.

Sun Shaozong shook his head and said, "I have never said that they are not innocent. But are they the only ones responsible for today's loss?

If that smart child has been locked up in the cell all along, how could there be a chance of deliberately hurting someone? How could there be..."

Lord Sun.

Sun Shaozong was talking incessantly on the steps, but below, Miaoyu couldn't help but plead in a coquettish voice, "Don't forget, this matter was originally approved by you.

I approved it? Haha.

Sun Shaozong chuckled and then lowered his face and asked, "Why dont you tell me, how did I approve it?

You asked me to draft a statement and hand it over to the Criminal Department before making a final decision.

In the beginning, Miaoyu was filled with righteous indignation, but by the time she reached the words make a final conclusion again, her momentum had already declined to the bottom. She didn't think much at the time, but now, after careful consideration, she didnt have proof of him agreeing to this statement.

Ha

Sun Shaozong gave a fake smile and said with a burning gaze, "I originally wanted to consult one or two to see if it was feasible, but I didn't promise to comply.

Moreover, I have never seen this statement afterward, let alone who exactly approved it.

Speaking of this, he suddenly raised his tone and said angrily, "You are an outsider, and its fine if you have no idea how serious this matter is! But as an official of the Criminal Department, this person regards national laws as a joke and is the culprit behind this case.

Assistant Magistrate Wei!

He turned his gaze to Wei Ruolan and said solemnly, "Since you have the intention to thoroughly investigate this case, remember to bring this person out and punish them heavily together with these prisoners.

I... I

Wei Ruolan's small white face, now swollen with the color of pig liver, seemed to not know how to refute it.

As Miaoyu saw that she was about to implicate him, she quickly straightened her chest and said, "I wrote this statement, and the person who allowed it was also out of kindness and good deeds. If you want to pursue it, only punish me.

Sun Shaozong silently watched the two mounds on her chest for a while before shaking his head and sighing. "The biggest problem with your statement is that you didn't take these prisoners into account equally.

Imagine, you've caused them so much extra trouble, but the money you've given them is getting less and less. How can they not complain?

You can be kind to the three insane nuns in all possible ways, but how can you not treat these prison guards with even the slightest bit of care?

After all, you just acted according to your preferences and have nothing to do with any compassion.
