Fang Zheng didn't expect him to believe in Buddhism, he just wanted him to change his bad habits in the future. But asking him about textbook knowledge was extremely difficult for Fangzheng, but fortunately, Song Ergou hadn't read it either! Why don't you just look at him? So he followed his train of thought and said, "The book says that murder must be punished with life."
Song Ergou wanted to cry again.
Fang Zheng continued: "However, the law is also about humaneness. If you don't intentionally kill someone, you can be given a lighter sentence. For people like you, if it is serious, you will go to jail."
"Oh... 5555" Song Ergou started crying.
Fang Zheng shut up and waited for him to cry.
"Fangzheng, keep talking, why did you stop? 5555" Song Ergou cried lazily.
Fang Zheng said: "Amitabha, the donor is crying so loudly that the poor monk can't call you. Let you cry first, and we will talk about it when you have cried enough. However, the village has called the police. The police may go to the mountain. They will not solve the whole story before they come. ,Um… "
"I won't cry anymore! I won't cry anymore!" Song Ergou shut up immediately.
Fang Zheng said: "Very good, let's continue. In your case, if it's a minor case, you don't need to be sentenced, just a small fine."
"Ah? So good?" Song Ergou's eyes widened. He didn't expect this result. But he immediately realized a serious problem. He was too lazy. The poor family only had one pot, and he couldn't afford to lose money! So he said, “What should I do if I have no money?”
Fang Zheng continued: "That will be difficult. If you don't have money, you will go to jail!"
"No... no... this won't work. Founder, uncle... I beg you, please think of other options for me. Think about it, think about it, uncle invites you to eat chicken! Uh... you are a monk, you can't eat chicken , how about eggs?" Song Ergou begged for more bribes.
Fang Zheng finally convinced this guy. This guy didn't know much about monks. Since he was so uneducated, he let go of the deception and continued: "There is another way, and that is to use labor instead of punishment!"
"Work instead of punishment? What kind of punishment is this?" Song Ergou asked curiously.
Fang Zheng said: "It's very simple. The village will come forward to guarantee you how long you can pay back the money. During this period, you work for the village, and the village pays you to atone for your sins. The better you do, the more atonement you have. . On the contrary, if you are cheating, being lazy, and the people in the village are unhappy, you will have no choice but to go to jail."
"Ah... ah? Working for the village? This..." Song Ergou hesitated a little. He was so lazy!
Fang Zheng's old face turned solemn and said: "Work or go to jail, the donor can choose for himself. If you choose to work, the poor monk can help you intercede with the village chief and party secretary and let them come forward. Otherwise, based on your past virtues, it is estimated that They have been waiting for you to go in."
"I... I didn't do anything bad in the past..." Song Ergou said with a guilty conscience.
Fang Zheng chuckled and said, "When did you not harm a few chickens in the village?"
Song Ergou was embarrassed...
Fang Zheng suddenly became solemn and asked: "Are you going to do it or not? If you don't do it, just wait to go to jail. If you do it, get off the mountain now!"
"Do it... don't do it... Na na... Then you have to promise that I will be fine. If I go to jail even if I go down the mountain, I won't go down!" Song Ergou shouted.
Fang Zheng said: "Amitabha, monks don't lie. As long as the donor comes down the mountain, if you go to jail, how about the poor monk paying for your jail time?"
"Are you serious?" Song Ergou believed Fang Zheng's assurance. Because Master Yi Zhi is known for keeping his word, Fang Zheng has always kept his word even though he has been naughty since he was a child. Although I am still afraid in my heart, I have no way out now. There is only one road when I point to the mountain, and the rest are cliffs. If the village had called the police, the police would have sealed off the mountain now, and he would have no other option.
Fang Zheng said: "Seriously!"
"Okay, I believe you once!" Song Ergou gritted his teeth and said.
Fang Zheng immediately revised a letter and handed it to Song Ergou, saying: "You can't read this letter. Take it to the village chief and secretary. After they read it, they will naturally help you."
Song Ergou took the letter suspiciously, nodded, and went down the mountain.
When Fang Zheng saw Song Ergou leaving, he quickly took out his mobile phone and called village chief Wang Yougui and secretary Tan Juguo to express his thoughts.
Wang Yougui laughed and scolded: "You brat, you have so many evil ideas! Okay, I have wanted to deal with this Song Ergou for a long time. If I can take the opportunity to deal with him this time, I will give you a big credit! Don't worry, I Know how to do it.”
When something big happened in the village, Wang Yougui and Tan Juguo were naturally there. When Wang Yougui and Tan Juguo talked about it, they both laughed. They even roped in the police to cooperate.
After Song Ergou left the temple, how could he listen to Fang Zheng
He found a place where no one was around, took out the letter and started reading it. He was really afraid that Fang Zheng would sell him out if he said one thing and did another!
The result was exactly the same as what Fang Zheng said. Sure enough, he was protecting him. Seeing Fang Zheng vowing that if Song Ergou went to jail, he would also go to jail, Song Ergou was so moved that he almost cried. He muttered: "Fangzheng, you are such a good boy! My uncle was sorry for you in the past and said bad things about you. I will definitely treat you well in the future!"
After Song Ergou finished speaking, he carefully collected the letter and strode down the mountain.
"System, am I not breaking the rules?" Fang Zheng was really worried, after all, he had lied a lot this time.
"Ding! Amitabha, Buddhism does not advocate lying, and it is a taboo, but looking at its root cause, it is still to guide people to be good. Your actions are to guide people to be good, which is essentially good. White lies are not considered a violation of the precepts. . Otherwise, you would have been struck by lightning." The system said.
Fang Zheng breathed a sigh of relief. At the same time, he also understood something. This Buddha system is different from the traditional Yumu monk. What he pursues is more intrinsic goodness rather than superficial skills. This puts him at ease...
After Song Ergou left, Fang Zheng tidied up the Buddhist hall and cleaned it up. Then he returned to the backyard and looked at the water in the Buddhist jar. Most of it was consumed for bathing, cooking, and drinking. Fang Zheng immediately carried a bucket down the mountain to fetch water. As for the lone wolf, he didn't know where he had gone, and Fang Zheng didn't bother to care.
After running back and forth several times, Fang Zheng finally filled the water tank with water. When I looked up, I saw the moon gradually rising.
"I'm dizzy, my brain is not full, I forgot to eat lunch!" Fang Zheng touched his belly, and he was really hungry!
Hurry to the kitchen, wash the pots, add rice, water, and light the fire! This crystal rice is extremely clean, and there is no need to wash the rice, so it is very convenient to make.
After everything was done, Fang Zheng took out his mobile phone, sat on a small chair in the yard, and started surfing the Internet leisurely.
Fang Yunjing hasn't gone online yet, but Zhao Datong sent him a message: "Master, I've been feeling a little weak lately. I'm confused and can't get out of bed in the morning. Is there something wrong?"
