In the Ming Dynasty, witches and monks liked boys. He used magic to kidnap and imprison children and poison them when they grew up sick.

In the Ming Dynasty, there was a monk in Beijing who specialized in abducting and selling children. According to witnesses, the monk's method of abducting and selling children is quite strange:

"People see more than one monk, rubbing the faces of young children, and young children will follow suit. Once found, it has been lost. "

"Meng" is what we call touching, because this monk can make the child go with him voluntarily as long as he touches the child's face. People call him a "face rubbing thief".

Although he knew that the person who committed the crime was a monk, because there were too many monks in Beijing at that time, the witnesses didn't think much at first and didn't remember clearly, which made the identity of the monk a mystery at that time.

The monk committed another crime.

This time, the identity of the child he kidnapped was unusual. He was the son-in-law of the famous rich Mijia in Beijing at that time.

Master Mi is an old man. He has always attached great importance to his son. Now that this has happened, his heart is full of remorse: why didn't he take good care of the children?

In addition to blaming himself, Master Mi was anxious to get his children back, so he posted a notice: "Whoever takes them in will be rewarded with twenty taels of silver; The messenger rewarded twelve taels of silver. "

Driven by money, many people joined the search for monks. Monks are easy to find, but how can they prove that they are criminals after finding them? Everyone is caught in a tangle again.

There is a servant named Bamba in the Mi family. Seeing that everyone was looking for a monk in the street, he found a new idea: the street is difficult to identify because everyone can't find evidence, but where can the monk hide the child? Temples have great possibilities.

Bamba was not sure which temple the monk who committed the crime belonged to, so he visited the temple everywhere to find the lost young master.

Many things happen. Bamba finally found his little master outside the city, but he was shocked by what he saw: the little master was actually doing morning classes in the clothes of a young monk.

Bamba did not dare to startle him. When the young master was alone, he came forward and asked, "Young master, weren't you kidnapped by a demon monk?" Your family is looking for you everywhere. How did you become a monk here? "

When the young master saw Bamba, he jumped into his arms excitedly. When he looked up, his face was full of grievances: "It was that demon monk who imprisoned me here, and we were not allowed to walk around at will, otherwise we would be whipped and refused food. Please help me go! "

When Class Eight heard about the young master, he immediately realized that it was far from as simple as he thought. He remembered the rumors about the demon monk, and finally resisted the plan to take the young master away directly, determined to go back and move reinforcements steadily.

Class 8 said to the young master, "Be careful to stay here for a while. I'll tell your father and bring someone to save you. "

Master nodded and told Bamba to come back early. There are many children here.

Bamba said goodbye to the young master, pretended to be a devotee of incense, and walked out of the temple calmly.

As soon as he left the temple gate, Bamba flew to Mi Fei to report the good news.

Bamba went to Mrs. Mi's door and shouted, "Mrs. Mi, go and save your son!" He was imprisoned in the backyard of the Hui Zhen Temple. "

After hearing the news of his son, Mi Zhu immediately ordered 50 servants to run to Huizhen Temple.

In the backyard of Hui Zhen Temple, Master Mi not only found his own children, but also found dozens of children who reported their loss.

Master Mi and his party were very angry. They tied up the big monks in three temples and sent them to the government for trial.

What Master Mi and others didn't expect was that the reason why monks kidnapped children turned out to be to satisfy their own desires.

The official asked the children, "How did they kidnap you? I can let you follow them voluntarily. "

"When the monk rubbed my eyes with his hand, he saw tigers and poisonous snakes behind both sides, which would bite and hurt people in the future. Only the road ahead is clean and easy to walk, and our generation has to move forward and come to this monastery, where monks are claustrophobic. " The children replied.

The official asked again, "Why did the monk arrest you? What did they leave you in the temple for? "

The children said indignantly, "I hate this demon monk." It is very painful for us to listen to their words and play with them day and night. If you don't listen, hit the stick. People are afraid of him, so they have to follow his actions. "

"The monk caught so many children for so many years, why not see older children? What about the old and sick children among you? "

"The patient grew up, and the monk said to let him go back. If he doesn't know, he will go home. " The children said.

After listening to the children, the officials brought three monks to the class for questioning, but the host did not dare to answer.

The official looked at the two monks next to him. When the other two monks saw it, they immediately said in unison, "The old, the weak, the sick and the disabled were all poisoned and buried."

After listening to the monk's answer, the officials and parents in the hall were very angry. How inhuman is it to do such a thing?

Officials have no intention of forgiving monks. He ordered the official to preside over forty boards, and the other two each admitted twenty boards. After the three men served their sentences, officials handed them over to their angry parents who were already outside, and asked them to deal with them: "These people have committed heinous crimes, and it is not enough to die."

With the permission of the officials, the parents beat up the three men again and burned the temple after the fight, just to catch their breath.

Author comments on Du Lie's new book: A good man is a journey of bird blasphemy. This monk must have a spring festival, and unless he abducts the young child, he can't get what he wants quickly. He also studied magic, rubbing his eyes will make him dizzy, which can seduce boys. His sins float in the sky.
