8. Accidents are rampant
Yes!
Yao Miaoyi squatted on the wheel of the car and screamed and cried regardless of her image,
It almost fell on me and the eldest lady! Ah Fu was so frightened that he didn't even clean up the footstool in the pool of blood, and quickly turned the horse's head, intending to drive away from here.
Brush!
The beggars on the street corners, the peddlers selling mung bean soup, and the pedestrians on the side of the road suddenly burst out, drew their swords one after another, and sealed the intersection, it turned out that these were all spies in disguise.
At the same time, a whistle sounded, and a group of slaughtering warriors came from all around, surrounding the gluttonous building, and whoever dared to break out waved their swords at each other, and soon five people fell on the bluestone slab.
"Arrest the Demon Cult traitors! There is no mercy for those who resist! ”
In fact, the Demon Sect was called Mingjiao a long time ago, and it was highly supported among the people. In the last years of the Yuan Dynasty, unable to endure the brutal rule, Han Shantong founded Mingjiao, the leader of the peasant rebel army Red Turban Army, and all the soldiers of the rebel army, regardless of status, were followers of Mingjiao, including the current Hongwu Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang.
Therefore, Han Shantong is also called King Ming.
"King Ming was born, purifying all sentient beings". This slogan is widely circulated, and women and children know it.
Later, the internal power struggle of the Red Turban Army, mutual conquest and annexation, after the death of Han Shantong, the young son Han Lin'er became the king of Xiao Ming, Zhu Yuanzhang and others still surrendered to the feet of the young Han Lin'er on the surface, but the king of Xiao Ming was hollowed out, and he had become a spiritual leader and had no real power.
Later, Zhu Yuanzhang unified the group and sent someone to take Han Lin'er, the king of Xiaoming, to Nanjing, but the big ship sank in the Yangtze River on the way, and Han Lin'er had no news.
And Zhu Yuanzhang in Nanjing ascended the throne in Nanjing and called the emperor, and the country name was Ming. and told the world that the Yuan Dynasty had colluded with the Ming Sect to rebel against the party and assassinated Han Lin'er, the king of Xiaoming.
After the establishment of a new empire, Mingjiao was dissolved. The imperial court tried its best to erase the traces of the Ming Sect, and called the Ming Sect traitors the Demon Sect.
The Demon Cult is notorious and notorious. Not only is he wanted and rounded up by the imperial court all year round, but he can also stop young children from crying at night. From time to time, mothers coax their children and say, "Don't cry, don't cry, if you cry again, you will be caught and eaten by the Demon Sect."
So when I heard that it was the imperial court that arrested the Demon Sect and rebelled against the party, everyone was afraid and panicked.
The diners of the gluttonous restaurant, as well as the pedestrians who passed by the roadside just now, were confined in the lobby of the restaurant, screaming, pushing, scolding, and of course, crying mixed together, like a hungry wolf breaking into the chicken coop to spread wild, and it became a mess.
The white-faced bearded man sat on the Taishi chair in front of the hall, his body was thin and his face was yellowish, as if there was something inadequate, but as soon as he raised his hand, there was an indescribable majesty, "Quiet, on such a hot day, no matter how noisy it is, it will become a pot of porridge." ”
As soon as these words came out, most of the people in the lobby shut up, and Ah Fu was worried that Yao Miaoyi would be taken advantage of by the prodigal son in the chaos, so he protected her behind a large blue and white vase, and guarded the front with a horsewhip.
If your whereabouts are leaked, you must be out of the ghost! The person who just joined the joint jumped off the building and committed suicide, just to remind me! Yao Miaoyi looked at the man sitting on the first seat out of the corner of her eyes, this kind of appearance, coupled with a slightly sharp voice, this person should be the eunuch and eunuch in the palace.
A gentleman dressed in lake satin waved a gold-sprinkled fan and shouted unconvinced: "Uncle, I am here to eat, and the Demon Sect's betrayal has nothing to do with me." Suzhou Mansion Tongzhi is our relative, and those who know each other hurry up - ah! ”
Sprinkled with gold and fell to the ground, and at the same time there was a broken hand that rolled to the ground!
The gentleman screamed for a moment and fainted, and the lobby immediately fell silent, and the needle drop could be heard.
Yao Miaoyi stood behind a large vase as tall as a person, and saw the man sitting on the Taishi chair holding a sharp long knife, and with a slight shock, the residual blood on it condensed into blood beads and shook on the blue brick floor.
"Toast, don't eat, eat and drink." The man's sword was sheathed, and his tone was still calm:
"Today we set up an ambush to arrest the rebels of the Demon Cult, but unfortunately the fish did not take the bait, but the bait took off first. But I believe that the big fish we want is hidden among you, otherwise the bait will not desperately break free from the hook and jump off the building to warn. ”
The man's gaze scanned the trembling crowd, "As long as you want to cooperate with us to find the big fish, you can go home without hurting a single hair." Do you understand? ”
Everyone didn't dare to make a sound, just nodded desperately. The plainclothes samurai divided the crowd into men and women and interrogated each other. Most of the people who ate at the restaurant were men, and there were only seven women, who were searched by two middle-aged women.
The two of them are dignified and dignified, their eyebrows are very fine, their faces are slightly powdered, and the fragrance they emit is the same, the tribute palace powder is this taste, and then look at their demeanor, Yao Miaoyi preliminarily judged that these two people were female officials in the palace.
Of the seven female suspects, the oldest is 64-year-old Po Wu, who often carries a basket of gardenias to sell, and the youngest is a nine-month-old baby girl who is nursing in her mother's arms.
It is impossible for this old and young to be the legendary murderous demon cult traitor, but he has not escaped the body search, and even the baby girl's swaddling clothes have been cut open with scissors to check the mezzanine inside.
The number of people was small, and soon it was Yao Miaoyi's turn. After asking about the origin of the name, address, etc., it was found that it was a local, and there were neighbors, the shopkeeper and others testified, and the middle-aged woman still said expressionlessly: "Take off your clothes, and untie the hairpin and headband." ”
Yao Miaoyi pretended to be shy and said, "I'...... Can you-" She has always been cautious, and she didn't hide key objects on her body, just to match the panicked personality of the woman in the market.
The middle-aged woman interrupted: "If you are verbose, you will be sent to the prison for review, and the jailer will not be as polite as me at that time." ”
Yao Miaoyi untied the belt under her armpit, and then there was a knock on the door, followed by the eunuch's voice, "Release Yao Miaoyi." ”
The middle-aged woman seemed to be very unhappy, and her thin eyebrows were distorted. But despite this, she still let Yao Miaoyi go.
Yao Miaoyi was personally led out by the eunuch, and at the back door of the restaurant, a bald monk and a young man looked at her with a smile.
"Father-in-law! Second brother! ”
Yao Miaoyi was ecstatic, it was the Daoyan monk and her brother-in-law Yao Jitong who adopted her. Yao Jitong has been following Daoyan to travel all over the world, and she and these two have not seen each other for almost two years.
Monk Daoyan clasped his hands together and expressed his gratitude to the eunuch, "Thank you Gonggong Huang for your help and give the old man a thin face." ”
Eunuch Huang said with a smile: "Last month, the emperor held a Taoist meeting in Jiangshan, Daoyan Zen Master Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism are all knowledgeable, knowledgeable, blockbuster, deeply loved by the emperor, specially recruited you to go to Tianjie Temple to edit the "Yuan History", who in the capital does not know the name of Yan Zen Master." ”
pretended to apologize to Yao Miaoyi, "I disturbed Miss Yao today, please forgive me." ”
The face became fast. Imagine the cruelty with which he cut off people's hands and intimidated the people.
Where did Yao Miaoyi dare to accept the courtesy of Eunuch Huang? Hurriedly turned sideways and avoided, and said: "The little woman is just a grass farmer, Huang Gong is openly grateful, and the little woman is grateful." If you want to blame it, blame the demon cult for betraying the party, causing chaos everywhere, bringing disaster to the world and harming us ordinary people......"
After a period of thanks, Yao Miaoyi followed her father-in-law and brother-in-law home.
The middle-aged woman who had just searched her body watched the background of the three disappear into the alley, and snorted coldly: "Huang Yan, we left the palace to arrest the Demon Sect traitors, but you took the power in your hands as a favor." ”
"The emperor used to be a monk, and he still believes in Buddhism, and it is much easier to trust and respect these monks and befriend them than to please those sour and rotten scholars." Huang Yan looked at the middle-aged woman sneeringly and asked:
"Aunt Li, let me ask you, is it faster to arrest the rebels and raise people's favors, or is it faster to pull relationships and get favors? Emperor Hongwu has sat firmly in the country, the Demon Sect has long been gone, what kind of storm can it make? Not to mention the Demon Sect, just mention the previous Ming Sect, how many people are convinced to follow? ”
"The traitor to the party can't be caught, but the official position is a radish and a pit, you only know that you have to work hard and work hard, and you are almost forty years old before you can mix a seven-grade classic, even I am not worth it for you! Look at the girls who signed up for the female officer selection exam yesterday, all of them are tall and good-looking. If you can't take a few more steps and climb to the Wupin Shang Palace, where the sixth bureau of the palace is in charge, I'm afraid there will be no day for you to come out in the future. ”
"-You!" The female official Li Dianzheng was so angry that her lips turned white.
Huang Yan grinned and said, "I'm optimistic about Aunt Li, after all, you've been following Queen Ma for the longest time, but it's a pity that you're too upright." I won't say what I said a second time, think about it, think about it, we can cooperate and support each other. ”
After that, Huang Yan walked away. Li Dianzheng stood in place and thought for a long time, made an important decision, his lips turned up slightly, and a smile crossed him: Thinking about it, although Yao Miaoyi's skin is rough, her outline is like a person, maybe this is an opportunity......
Suzhou City, Miaozhi Temple.
Zen Master Daoyan became a monk here when he was eight years old, and now he has become a monk, and there has always been a courtyard for him in the temple.
There is a dark room in the basement of the meditation room, and a pair of butter candles the thickness of children's arms are lit in the dark room, illuminating the faces of the three people.
"King Ming was born, and all living beings were purified."
Yao Miaoyi knelt down on one knee and saluted, "Subordinates see King Xiao Ming, see Elder Wisdom." ”
