Chapter 115 The Lewd Monk
Wu Kong looked flustered and hurriedly waved his hands, shouting...
"It wasn't me, it wasn't me, I don't know anything!"
"It must be Qiao Qingshu who framed me!"
At this moment, an official stepped forward, grabbed Wukong, and angrily rebuked him.
"Your robe is still in this cellar, and inside it lies the corpse of a baby girl! You still dare to deny it!"
The officers and soldiers were stunned when they went down and saw what they saw.
Three or four women lay in the filthy cellar, most of them looking dazed, their hands or feet cut off.
The entire cellar reeked of a foul stench, and the corners were filled with years of accumulated excrement and other filth.
An official accidentally tripped over a package. Looking down, he saw the shriveled corpse of an infant wrapped in a tattered cassock.
When the soldiers brought the women out, they all screamed uncontrollably upon seeing Wu Kong's face.
The shriveled corpse of the baby girl was now lying at Master Wannian's feet.
Master Wannian looked down at the cassock wrapped around the corpse, and blood rushed to his head!
This robe was a gift he personally gave to his disciple to congratulate him on becoming the new abbot of Wanfu Temple.
Although this robe is not of high value, it was passed down from a high monk a hundred years ago. When Master Wannian gave it away as a gift, he was very reluctant to part with it.
Now, this precious cassock has been used by Wukong to wrap the corpse of a baby girl.
Master Wannian was so enraged that he went forward and began to beat Wukong severely with his cane.
"You beast! You still say it wasn't you? What else could this robe be but you!"
The blows were extremely brutal, terrifying Wukong so much that he covered his head and screamed wildly.
"Master, I was wrong, I'll never do it again!"
Everyone in the courtyard watched as Wukong was beaten, and they all felt unsatisfied.
These four or five girls are all in the prime of their lives, yet they have been imprisoned here by Wukong for so many years; it is truly heartbreaking.
At this moment, Aunt Chen also climbed out of the pond in the backyard and saw this scene. She was so frightened that she hid in the crowd.
She also had an affair with Wukong, but it didn't happen often; they would only meet when they went up the mountain to offer incense.
She originally thought Wukong was just a lewd monk, but she never expected that this monk would do such heinous things.
She was also scared, afraid of being implicated, and her eyes were full of fear and dread.
Qiao Qingshu coldly surveyed the crowd in the courtyard and slowly began to speak.
"Wu Kong, you have abused your power and position as abbot to harm countless young women. How dare you commit such heinous acts in a Buddhist sanctuary? Aren't you afraid of going to hell?!"
The questioning sounded like a provocation to Wu Kong. He raised his eyebrows, pointed at Qiao Qingshu, and jumped up to curse.
"You surnamed Qiao, I have no grudge against you, why did you harm me!"
Qiao Qingshu pursed her lips and spotted Aunt Chen in the crowd. Xia Zhi immediately understood and rushed into the crowd to drag Aunt Chen out.
Qiao Qingshu pointed at Aunt Chen and said,
"Wu Kong, if you are smart, tell me everything that happened today, and I might be able to plead for you."
Seeing her say this, Wu Kong, like a drowning person grasping at a straw, immediately and cleverly exposed Aunt Chen's past misdeeds.
"I'll talk, I'll talk! It was this Aunt Chen who plotted against her own daughter. She wanted her daughter to marry into Prince Jing's household as a concubine!"
“A few days ago, she came to discuss countermeasures with me and offered me some silver to help her come up with ideas. That’s why I suggested that she lead the people to my Wanfu Temple.”
These words almost confirmed Aunt Chen's guilt, and all the women of the Qiao family in the courtyard looked at Aunt Chen with incredulous eyes.
The second daughter, Qiao Qingqiao, hurriedly cried and said,
"So it really was you! You were the one who plotted against me!"
Aunt He, who had been holding the Third Miss's hand tightly, stepped forward indignantly and said...
"Aunt Chen, how could you actually do this! Qiao'er is your own flesh and blood! How could you be so heartless!"
The maids and nannies gathered together, whispering among themselves, all looking at her with disgust.
Even Aunt Chen's personal maid, Hu Niu, was looking at her with utter disdain.
Upon seeing this, Aunt Chen's face turned a deep purplish-red. Enraged, she rushed forward and attacked Wukong.
She couldn't accept that her lover had betrayed her like that.
She shouted angrily.
"You're talking nonsense! You're slandering me!"
"You damned monk, you're about to die and you still want to drag me down with you! You'll die a horrible death!"
With his hands and feet bound, Wu Kong was unable to move, and Aunt Chen slapped him across the face several times with practiced ease.
He could tolerate being beaten by his own master, but how could he accept being beaten by a stinky old woman!
He was so angry that he shouted loudly.
"You bitch, what are you pretending for when you're about to die!"
"You're no better. You've been hanging out with me in the temple at least seven or eight times, and you're still putting on an act!"
Aunt Chen was so frightened that her face turned pale, and she quickly turned around to explain to the crowd.
"No, no, no! That's not true! He's lying!"
"Don't believe his nonsense, he's trying to frame me."
Wu Kong sneered, then told the shouting...
"I've seen that red birthmark on the back of your butt so many times!"
Aunt Chen was so frightened by what she heard that her face froze.
The women of the Qiao family all looked at her coldly, their expressions filled with disdain and contempt.
Aunt Chen felt as if she were being pricked by thorns; she quickly stepped forward and grabbed Aunt He's hand, holding it tightly.
"Aunt He, we're all aunts, why don't you say something for me!"
Aunt He slowly withdrew her hand, her face filled with heartache.
"Xiangyu, I originally thought you were just a bit cunning, but I never expected you to do something like this. I can't help you."
Aunt Chen's heart had already turned cold, and she turned her head as if grasping at a straw, trying to grab the second young lady's delicate hand.
Qingqiao, quick-witted and agile, dodged backward, only to be caught off guard by Aunt Chen.
"Qiao'er, you came out of my belly! I'm doing all this because I want you to have a good life!"
"If you don't stand by your mother's side now, she'll really have no one to support her!"
Aunt Chen was crying and sniffling, looking in Qingqiao's direction and wailing.
Qiao Qingshu slowly stepped forward, shielding Qiao Qingqiao behind her and angrily rebuking her.
"Who do you think you are, your mother?!"
"As a wife, you've failed my father; as a mother, you've failed my second sister. How dare you stand here crying and shouting!"
Qiao Qingshu waved her hand, and Xia Zhi led two strong and sturdy old women to tie up Aunt Chen tightly.
Qiao Qingshu stepped forward and said slowly,
“Auntie, stop making trouble. Go back and await my father’s judgment.”
Aunt Chen was so frightened that she rolled her eyes and fainted.
Today I intended to scheme against my own daughter, but unexpectedly I ended up being schemed against instead.
Aunt Chen was dragged away, and only then did Wukong beg for mercy again.
"Miss Qiao, look, I've exposed the despicable things Aunt Chen did. Can you spare my life?"
Qiao Qingshu slowly walked up to the soldiers and asked,
"Sir, how will Master Wukong be punished for such a crime?"
The leading official snorted coldly and rebuked him.
"This hypocritical scoundrel, who harms and imprisons women, and uses the sacred Buddhist temple as his den of debauchery, deserves to have his head chopped off!"
