"Yes," Ran Yan said.
No sooner had she spoken than even Xiao Song fell silent. Sneaking a check on a corpse was one thing, but how to persuade Jing Hui to strip naked for an examination?
In the Great Tang, the status of Buddhist monks and nuns was not particularly high, but they were still considered people beyond the secular world. If not handled properly, it might provoke a backlash from the entire Buddhist community.
Buddhism was the state religion of the Sui Dynasty. Since the establishment of the Li Tang, the government promoted Daoism and suppressed Buddhism. Certainly, there were grievances among the Buddhists, but a starving camel is still larger than a horse. Buddhism had a large following among the common people, including devout believers from the older generations of some prominent families. No one dared to openly trample on Buddhist dignity now.
After thinking for a moment, Ran Yan knew that it would likely not be easy to perform a live examination on Jing Hui.
