Chapter 62
System: [It’s not that they don’t want to expose him, but they don’t dare.]
[You know, in ancient times, even in later generations, most of the women who were raped didn’t dare to report to the police.]
[They were afraid that if their acquaintances knew about it, their reputation would be damaged, and even their significant other’s opinion of them would be affected.]
[What’s more, women were treated very harshly in ancient times. Once their affairs were known to the world,]
[then they might not be able to raise their heads in front of the world for the rest of their lives. They might be drowned by the spit of the public.]
[This Master Shikong grasped their psychology and even threatened them afterwards,]
[saying that he was the first master of the Northern Zhao Kingdom, highly respected, and how could others believe them just based on a few words from them?
[They might think they want to cheat money or achieve some other ulterior purpose.]
Emperor Mingde was already embarrassed.
He really didn't expect that he had always worshipped such a worthless person as a great monk!
Moreover, he had praised Master Shikong as a great monk who only appears once in a hundred years in front of civil and military officials, and even envoys from neighboring countries who came to pay tribute!
Thinking about it now, it's really a slap in the face!
Master Shikong might be laughing at him for being stupid behind his back!
Thinking of this, Emperor Mingde clenched his fists tightly. Damn, what's going on, he wants to eat fish again!
Wei Yinuo thought about it, and what the system said was indeed very reasonable.
This matter really can't be blamed on those women.
They were already pitiful enough after such a thing happened. It was just that the world was too harsh on women.
But she was still unwilling to accept it. Master Shikong was such a scumbag, she couldn't just let it go like that, right? ? ?
She had to think of a way to expose the crimes of Master Shikong and let everyone see the true face of Master Shikong.
But this was not an easy task, after all, she had no evidence.
Just think about it, those women would not come out to accuse Master Shikong of his crimes.
She couldn't tell everyone that it was her system that said it, right?
Therefore, she wanted to learn more from the system.
See what other bad things this person had done, or if there was any other evidence of his crimes.
So Wei Yinuo continued to ask: [System, please tell me quickly, what other bad things has Master Shikong done! It would be best if you can find evidence!]
Hearing what Wei Yinuo said, Emperor Mingde and the ministers also pricked up their ears.
They wanted to hear how many shameful things this Master Shikong, who was wearing the face of a high monk, had done in private!
System: [That's really a lot! In addition to being lustful, this man is also extremely greedy.]
[When the Huguo Temple was first built, he embezzled a lot of money. At that time, in order to build the Huguo Temple, the court allocated a huge sum of money, and he set his sights on this money.]
Wei Yinuo: [Ah? For such a large project, surely the imperial court would send someone to supervise it? How did he get the money from under the noses of those supervisors? 】
【Could it be that those supervisors were bribed by him? 】
Hearing Wei Yinuo say this, Emperor Mingde and several old ministers who knew about this matter all looked at Prince Wu and Prime Minister Li involuntarily.
Could it be that this matter is really related to the two of them? ? ?
Yes, the old ministers who were in charge of the supervision of Huguo Temple at that time and are still in the court are Prince Wu and Prime Minister Li.
Prince Wu and Prime Minister Li were a little confused!!!
When were they bribed by someone? ? ?
Especially Prince Wu: It's strange, why do I always get caught in the crossfire today?
Speaking of the Huguo Temple, it was built when the previous emperor was in power, and a group of skilled craftsmen from Northern Zhao were organized to build it.
It took three years to build this temple.
Although Northern Zhao was not financially strong at the time, it could even be said that it was stretched to the limit.
However, when building the Huguo Temple, the court still tried every means to raise a large amount of funds.
After all, the Huguo Temple has a very important status in Northern Zhao, and the previous emperor planned to build the first Buddhist temple in Northern Zhao.
Northern Zhao has always advocated Buddhism. Maybe it can tighten its belt in other areas, but it must not be shabby in religious construction.
At that time, not only did the court raise a huge sum of money, but some wealthy merchants in the private sector also generously donated.
In order to build the Huguo Temple, they not only donated a large amount of materials, but also donated the scriptures, ancient books and even gilded Buddha statues that they had treasured for many years in their homes, hoping to get the protection and grace of the Buddha.
So what is going on? !
The system finally explained: [That's not the case! Your King Wu and Prime Minister Li can be considered as honest officials. Master Shikong is quite clear about this.]
[So he didn't dare to ask this rashly, otherwise it would be easy to expose his true face in front of others. He is not that stupid.]
Prime Minister Li and King Wu finally breathed a sigh of relief after hearing what the system said.
The system continued: [But this Master Shikong is extremely greedy. Seeing such a large sum of money, he would be unwilling if he did not give it down a little. After thinking hard, he finally thought of a way. ]
[Host, you should also know that this temple is different from other buildings, especially the Buddha statues. ]
[Many Buddha statues in temples have golden bodies. Even if they are not made of full gold, they will be plated with a thick layer of gold or gold. ] [
For more exquisite ones, the Buddha statues will also be inlaid with a large amount of jade, jewelry and other rare treasures. ]
[So most of these Buddha statues are worth a lot of money. ]
Wei Yinuo: [I know! I have heard before that there is a golden jade Guanyin Buddha statue that consumed more than 100 kilograms of gold and more than 100 kilograms of jade.
The top of the Buddha statue is inlaid with more than 120 carats of diamonds, which are of the highest quality.
[The whole body is inlaid with countless rare treasures such as rubies, sapphires, emeralds, corals, turquoise, pearls, etc.]
[It is said that the most valuable Buddha statue in later generations is estimated to be worth hundreds of millions, equivalent to hundreds of thousands of taels of silver today.]
[And the statue is designed with a hollow interior, which contains many relics of Sakyamuni and many extremely precious Buddhist scriptures, many of which are unique copies. Any one of them is a priceless treasure.]
System: [That's right! There is such a Buddha statue in the Huguo Temple, which is basically the same as the one you mentioned.]
