Chapter 251 The trial of a generation of demon monks
Who is Falla?

Speaking of this, the history books are short of a biography of him.In the history of Buddhism in the early Tang Dynasty, he was also regarded as the number one figure.Just imagine, in the past dynasties, how many people from other places can be able to enter and leave the palace and gain the mutual trust of the emperor and prince?In particular, during Li Yuan's reign, he was also an emperor who specialized in eliminating monks and Taoism and strictly controlled the number of monks.

Unfortunately, Prince Li Jiancheng, who was originally optimistic, finally failed in the fight for the throne.And Li Yuan quickly gave way to Li Shimin.For Buddhism, Li Shimin did not believe in it like Li Jiancheng.What's more, he would not be polite to a monk like Falla who had nothing to do with him.

Therefore, Faya suddenly changed from a distinguished guest in the palace to a lone monk in the temple.

Originally, if you fooled Li Yuan and Li Jiancheng, you would often get a lot of rewards.Moreover, the prohibition of entering and leaving the palace also gave him a lot of prestige among his peers.Li Shimin's move naturally made him lose everything he originally owned.

Falling from the sky to the ground, how could Falla not hate Li Shimin under such a gap.It just so happened that Li Yuan was still alive, and Fa Ya also had a different idea, wanting to take advantage of Li Shimin's unclear origin of the throne, to do something to see if he could get huge benefits.Out of the mentality of a gambler, Falla quickly fabricated a set of lies that he was the reincarnation of Buddha.

Needless to say, this set of tricks has really fooled many believers.Even the individual princes and nobles in the capital were deluded by Falla.

With such a mass base, Falla's thoughts became more and more vivid.It's all right to utter a few rebellious and wild words from time to time. Due to the continuous natural disasters in the past two years, Falla directly put the hat on Li Shimin's head.It was widely rumored in Beijing that Li Er killed his brother and forced his father to abdicate, so he was punished by the heavens.This version of the rumor is Falla's handiwork.

The origin of the throne has always been Li Shimin's taboo, even his close officials dare not mention it.Originally, if Fa Ya was more stable, Li Shimin would spare his life.But now that he took the initiative to jump out to kill him, how could the cruel Li Er let a monkey like him go.Not only can't let it go, Li Er also wants to get to the bottom of it.This is the reason why Du Ruhui was asked to interrogate the governor.

When Luo Yan returned home, he had all the files about Fa Ya in his hand, which he specially asked Du Ruhui to come.Although I don't know why Li Shimin let me get involved in this matter, but since I have no choice but to accept it, I'd better understand it and save time.

After reading Fa Ya's entire case file, Luo Yan's feeling became even more strange.

There are already detailed regulations in the "Wu De Law", but all monks who pretend to be the reincarnation of gods and Buddhas will have their monk registrations copied and sent for thousands of miles.And those like Falla who make false statements about government affairs and plot wrongdoing can be hacked and killed directly.Although Luo Yan guessed Li Shimin's intentions a little bit, but until now, it was nothing more than contacting the history books and seeing a Pei Ji fall from the horse.

Is there anything else I don't know about?After thinking about it for a long time, Luo Yan couldn't figure it out, so he could only put down the file and do other things.

Early the next morning, full of doubts, Luo Yan approached Du Ruhui.

"Du Gong, I read the dossier yesterday, and there are a few things that I don't understand. I don't know when Du Gong is convenient, so I can let the boy ask for advice." If you can't figure it out, then just ask Du Ruhui, an old official in the officialdom .This person has always been Li Shimin's most confidant, and he took over the Fa Ya case from the beginning.So instead of guessing about the reason, it is better to ask him directly.

Smiling cheerfully, Du Ruhui asked Luo Yan to sit down, and then said: "If you have any questions, just ask. As long as you can know, I will never hide anything."

Luo Yan immediately heard that something was wrong.What does it mean that I can know, isn't it that there are many things in it, but I can only know the most superficial part now.

A little depressed in my heart, but soon Luo Yan cheered up.There is a way to die in officialdom, which is called you know too much.Luo Yan naturally knows a lot, but no matter how you say it, it is best to know a little less.But since the matter of asking questions has been said, there are still some things to ask.Naturally, Luo Yan will grasp the proportions inside.

"Since Falla's crimes are so clear, why not convict him directly. Could there be some entanglement in it?" Pretending to be a cute new one, Luo Yan brought the most idiotic question to the table.

"Well, according to people's secret reports, Fa Ya has a lot of followers. It's hard to guarantee that someone won't hide behind the scenes and instruct him to act. Besides, he is also involved with King Xi. In order to ensure the stability of the society, it is natural to handle this kind of matter cautiously. .If we can get the related person out of his mouth, we can make some preparations as soon as possible."

Luo Yan knew there was something wrong here, but since Du Ruhui said so, let's take it seriously.Since Du Ruhui was secretive, Luo Yan just shut up and didn't ask any more questions.This time, Du Ruhui was surprised for a while, thinking that Luo Yan is really cunning.Obviously there are many questions, but the student stops here, without any curiosity that young people should have.

But now that Luo Yan is here, it's time for the trial, which has been delayed for several days.After such a long time interval, it's time to ask Falla again what she has to think about.

The trial was conducted secretly in Dali Temple.In the slightly dim lobby, instruments of torture were placed by the walls on both sides.Because of the light, Luo Yan seemed to be able to see the dark brown blood stains on some instruments of torture.As for the boning knives, iron brazing and iron needles, all of them are shiny after being wiped.

Even though Luo Yan was not the criminal, he was a little terrified when he walked into the lobby.

After imagining the scene of these instruments of torture falling on him, Luo Yan suddenly felt pain all over his body.It didn't take long for a cold sweat to break out on his forehead.

"It's really a fierce place." Luo Yan, who came back to his senses, sighed with emotion, and did not hide his panic at all.Then Jian turned his gaze to Du Ruhui, and said: "In such a place, even the stubborn ones will be frightened to death after entering. This Falla is also very powerful. I have endured it for so long, but I haven't completely settled the matter." say clearly."

Du Ruhui probably stayed here for a long time, and he didn't mean to be timid at all. After listening to Luo Yan's words, he smiled and said, "You know, this place has only been used three or four times since the founding of the country. If it weren't for the law Ya is too involved, and His Majesty will not use it. But as you said, this Fa Ya is really powerful, every time he comes up, he will be punished, and he just says something every time and doesn't say more."

Du Ruhui took the chief seat, and Luo Yan sat down next to him.In just a moment, a few thousand bulls prepared to pull Faya up.

Fa Ya's blue monk robe was already in tatters.The original inferior linen clothes had scratches made by unknown instruments of torture, which made each pair look like several pieces of cloth strips connected together.And these many cloth strips were covered with mottled blood.

Unlike the indistinct dark brown on the torture instruments by the wall, the clothes are reddish brown.It can be seen at a glance that this is the result of suffering a lot of punishment.Luo Yan has seen many dead people since he was a child, but it is really the first time he has seen such a miserable living person.

In all fairness, none of the wounded soldiers on the battlefield gave Luo Yan such a feeling.

However, although Falla has suffered many punishments, it is strange that the person is not too weak.On the contrary, at this moment Luo Yan could still see the rosiness on his face.This surprised Luo Yan a bit.

That's not enough, it's not important anymore, because Luo Yan then heard Du Ruhui shout: "What did you think about the things that made you think a few days ago? If you don't explain who is involved in this matter, then the next You still have to be punished."

Well, extorting confessions by torture is now a common method in trial cases.

Faya seemed to have been tortured enough, she laughed bitterly, and said: "After the punishment, you will pour me with a lot of tonic decoction. After repeating this, I have nothing to hide. Well, what do you want to know, Just ask. These days, I also want to understand that it is better to be liberated early than to live like this."

Hearing this, Luo Yan understood why Fa Ya seemed to have suffered a lot of torture, but her body was still able to survive.When the emotional torture is enough, give medicine, and continue to torture when it looks better.This is the double destruction of body and spirit.

Then he stared at Du Ruhui again, seeing him nodding there, felt even more helpless.Co-author, I used to be confused by history books and appearances.Who said that a famous minister must be a good person, Du Ruhui didn't have the slightest sympathy when such a sinister trick was used.

"In that case, I asked you last time, when you uttered rebellious words and publicized taboos, who was there and who agreed with you?" What did Du Ruhui scare Luo Yan with a single sentence? I didn't dare to do any action.Originally, I wanted to know as little as possible, but now it seems that I still can't escape the responsibility of this most important thing.

Faya pondered for a while, then sat cross-legged on the ground, looked at Du Ruhui and said, "I've answered this question, so let me die in peace. Don't ask me any more. If you ask, I can't tell." Voice Among them, there seemed to be some begging.

"Yes. But you have to make this matter clear."

"At the time when I uttered lies, it was at Sikong's mansion. At that time, I was invited by Sikong to chant scriptures and pray for blessings. In our spare time, the two of us talked about the current government. Because I was favored by the Supreme Emperor and King Xi back then, but since last year The scenery was gone, and I was unhappy for a while, so I confided my dissatisfaction. It happened to be heard by Sikong. He was shocked and just told me not to mention this matter again. I thought he would escort me to the Ministry of Punishment, but I didn't expect that this matter would not happen later It's over."

The words were rather vague, but Falla stopped talking when he finished.

Du Ruhui asked the writer next to him: "Did he write down what he said?"

The official tremblingly wrote down what Fa Ya just said, and then replied: "Just now, what the demon monk said, I wrote it down word for word, please ask Du Xiang to check it." A few pieces of paper were handed over, and the body stood below trembling.
