Chapter 550 The Truth
"Why did you two kill people?"
Chen Xuan was also a little surprised. He didn't expect the two to admit it so readily.
In fact, he said that these two people were murderers simply because he disliked them and was talking nonsense.
Unexpectedly, these two people turned out to be true.
What he didn't expect was that the two of them admitted it directly.
In fact, he underestimated the importance of the powerful monks in the hearts of ordinary people.
The monk corresponds to the powerful martial saint.
Think about it, in the Three Thousand Continents, how would ordinary people react when they see a Martial Saint?
When Chen Xuan first came to the Three Thousand Continents, in Chicheng, the Martial Saint was like the ceiling, the local tyrant within a thousand miles.
Therefore, when the two murderers learned that Chen Xuan was a monk, they were lucky not to be scared to death.
What's more, Chen Xuan also used the trick of going to hell to threaten them!
In the eyes of Buddhist believers, there is nothing more terrifying than going to hell!
"Master Bhikkhu, I'm asking you a question. Why did you kill people? Answer me now!"
The old monk scolded.
These two people actually dared to play tricks on him, which made him very angry.
"Because the Zhu family is too bullying!"
The man wearing a turban suddenly became angry, even clenching his fists, his eyes full of grief and anger!
"Too much bullying?"
"How did they bully you? Do you think they'd kill their entire family?"
Chen Xuan was a little surprised.
At this time, he noticed that except for the old monk and the other two, the expressions of everyone else present were a little unusual.
It seems like he knows something?
Since they have already admitted to being the murderer, there is no need for these two to hide anymore and they just tell the truth directly.
It turned out that they were from the Zhu family, and their two daughters were planning to marry these two men respectively.
For a daughter, the bride price is eighteen taels of gold.
These eighteen taels of gold are nothing to a rich person.
But for a poor family in a small mountain village like theirs, it is simply a sky-high price.
Many families, even with five people, spend less than one or two ounces of gold in a year.
But these two brothers worked hard to get married.
After saving for several years, they finally saved enough gold. The two of them each gave 18 taels of gold to the Zhu family, and the Zhu family accepted it.
Logically speaking, if things continue to develop normally, this will be a good thing for everyone.
As a result, after the Zhu family took the money, they refused to marry their daughter and raised the betrothal gift to thirty taels of gold.
Thirty taels of gold per person, sixty taels for two people, which means they have to pay an additional twelve taels of gold per person.
The two were dumbfounded. They tightened their belts and finally saved up 18 taels. When they didn't receive the money, he deliberately didn't ask for 30 taels. After receiving the money, he refused to marry his daughter for a month. Now he wants 30 taels again. Isn't this a joke?
If this is the case, two brothers killing people would be a bit insane.
The real reason was that the two of them scraped together money and borrowed it from everywhere, and finally managed to collect thirty taels each, which they sent to the Zhu family.
Now I can finally marry my daughter here.
As a result, the Zhu family took the money and said they would take a month to prepare and marry their daughter off in a grand ceremony a month later.
However, a month later, the Zhu family changed their minds and raised the reward for one daughter from 30 taels of gold to 50 taels of gold!
Isn't this going to cost the lives of both brothers?
The two of them immediately discussed it and felt that this was not a good idea.
As a result, the Zhu family insisted that they would pay fifty taels for a daughter, and if they didn't have one, they could get out.
Later, someone couldn't stand it anymore and told the two brothers the truth.
In fact, the two daughters of the Zhu family had already secretly married.
So even if the two brothers gave money, the Zhu family would not give their daughter to them.
The two brothers felt like the sky had fallen when they learned the truth, so they went to the Zhu family to question them. In the end, the Zhu family admitted that their daughter was indeed married, and it was all their fault for being useless and useless. They had saved the betrothal money for so long, but their daughter was old and had no time to wait.
The two brothers were furious and asked the Zhu family to return the money, including thirty taels of gold to each person.
As a result, the Zhu family said that the money had been used up and they had no money left, and they sent the two away.
After all, there are more than a dozen people in the Zhu family, and the two brothers are no match for them at all.
One of them had his arm broken and it took him a month to recover.
This incident made the two brothers more and more angry, and they couldn't swallow this anger!
In the end, the two men discussed and implemented a revenge plan, poisoning all the members of the Zhu family to death.
After they were poisoned to death, the bodies were placed together. After confirming that they were dead, they went to invite the villagers and the abbot of the temple over.
Because the two brothers usually looked like honest and kind people, and everyone in the village knew that the two brothers liked the daughter of the Zhu family, so they felt that no one would suspect them.
Unexpectedly, Chen Xuan and Ye Xiaotian showed up halfway.
When these two men appeared at the Zhu family, the two brothers were stunned, but they soon came up with a plan, which was to frame the murder on Chen Xuan and the other two.
This is simply God’s help!
After all, if Chen Xuan and the other two were not there, there would still be a certain chance that the abbot would find out that they were the murderers!
And now with these two people, they are the scapegoats!
Who could have imagined that these two people were so powerful and were actually Bhikkhu (Martial Saint) masters.
In the eyes of ordinary people like them, Bodhisattvas and Arhats are like gods and should not be provoked.
Although bhikkhus are a little inferior, they are also demigod-like beings.
So, after being frightened by Chen Xuan, the two of them confessed everything obediently.
After hearing the reason, everyone present couldn't help but sigh.
Even Chen Xuan couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
It is really difficult for ordinary people to get married. The worst thing is that after working hard for several years, they not only fail to get married but also have their money cheated away. This is simply leaving no way for people to survive.
Originally, Chen Xuan thought that these two brothers were too cruel. They killed the whole family. Isn't this insane?
But now, as the truth came to light, everyone began to sympathize with the two brothers again, thinking that they had been fooled a little too badly.
"Although your experiences are sympathetic, murder is murder. Come with me to the temple and confess your sins to the Buddha. After you have done so, I will personally send you to reincarnation. In your next life, be reborn as good people."
The old monk sighed softly.
Although the two brothers were indeed badly fooled by the Zhu family, more than a dozen members of the Zhu family were killed, so the two of them still have to receive the punishment they deserve!
"I am willing to follow the abbot's arrangements."
The two of them were already desperate and nodded honestly.
