Chapter 36: Meet the Buddha Again

Zhang Mo had been in the secret room all night.

Before the imperial army attacked the city last night, he was still resting in the mansion rewarded by Du Mingyu, but when he woke up, he was in this room surrounded by mossy stone walls, there was no light, no voice, and he didn't get any response when he shouted hoarsely in his throat. He didn't know what was going on, he didn't know when he would be able to get out, he wasn't worried about his life or death, he was just worried about his mother's safety.

But now there is nothing to be done, only endless waiting!

There was a creaking sound, the heavy stone slab moved away, and a faint light was cast overhead. Zhang Mo hurriedly rushed over, his eyes stinged suddenly, and he covered his hand and asked, "Who are you, why are you imprisoning me here?" Where is my mother now? Are you okay? ”

The person who came didn't make a sound, the rope tied to the bamboo basket slowly hung down, and then the stone slab closed, no matter how Zhang Mo called, there was no sound at all. Zhang Mo sat down dejectedly, touched food and water from the bamboo basket, and was enraged for a while, and threw the bamboo basket out hard. The utensils containing the water shattered, and the stone chamber was so frighteningly silent that only the sound of clear water gurgling was flowing all over the ground in a short time.

After about a stick of incense, Zhang Mo calmed down from his mania, knelt on the ground, groped for the water stains on the ground, and then bowed his head down, clasped the ground with both hands, licking the water like a dog to quench his thirst.

He can't die yet, he must live!

"Xiao Yushu killed Wang Chun!"

Zhu Zhi smiled.

Xu You's eyes narrowed slightly, and he asked rhetorically, "Fourth Uncle is not surprised?" ”

Zhu Zhi shook his head, poured tea for Xu You, and said, "Since Wang Chun left Beijing, he was already destined to be a dead man!" ”

"Why?" Xu You stared at the tea in the cup, he has been in this world for more than two years, and he is still not used to drinking this kind of raw tea that has not been fried, it is bitter and difficult to swallow, but the advantage is that it can make people's thinking clear.

"Do you know who recommended Wang Chun to be the prison guard?"

"Who?"

"Liu Yi, the secretary of the military department!"

Seeing that Xu You was confused, Zhu Zhi knew that he was not very proficient in the personnel of the imperial court, and explained: "Liu Yi's fourth brother Liu Sui, who used to be the Taishou of a county, was arrested by Sili Mansion and died in Huangsha Prison because of corruption and collusion with mountain thieves to rob local merchants. It is said that he died without skin and was tortured. Therefore, Liu Yi and Xiao Xunqi have always been at odds, and the government and the opposition know that this time Liu Yi recommended Wang Chun, on the surface, he deliberately came to trouble Xiao Yushu, and then attacked Xiao Xunqi ......"

"Actually?"

"In fact, there is another mystery in it!" Zhu Zhi took two sips of tea and said, "I got the information, just a few months ago, Liu Yi's son Liu Qi served as a border general at the junction of Chu and Liang, and privately sold ordnance and armor to Liangguo, which made a lot of profits. Si Lifu sent the apprentice of the Crouching Tiger Division to verify, and Liu Yi secretly visited Xiao Xunqi in order to avoid the recurrence of Liu Sui's tragedy. Subsequently, the Crouching Tiger Division withdrew its apprenticeship and no longer investigated the case. ”

Xu You understood it and said, "In return, Liu Yi recommended Wang Chunjian to the Chinese army to recruit the Qiantang military?" ”

"Exactly! Wang Chun is the middle prince of the imperial history, and the release of the prison army is the proper meaning of the question, plus he and Xiao Xunqi are rivals, Liu Yi's move did not arouse any suspicion. ”

Zhu Zhi paused and said with a smile: "Since there is no doubt, Wang Chun's death is of course an accident!" ”

Xu You sighed sincerely: "Awesome, awesome!" ”

"Yes, Xiao Xunqi has controlled the Sili Mansion for decades, he has killed people, and there are countless people who have offended, but he has always stood tall and is deeply trusted by the Lord, and he has no powerful means, so how can it be done?"

Xu You said with a smile: "No, I'm talking about the fourth uncle!" ”

Zhu Zhi raised his head and said jokingly: "Oh? What is so good about me? ”

"The meeting between Liu Yi and Xiao Xunqi must be top secret, and they were discovered by the fourth uncle, and all their plans are like witnessing them with their own eyes. Compared with the fourth uncle, the lieutenant of the division and the secretary of the little soldier department are not very powerful! ”

Zhu Zhi pointed at Xu You and laughed: "Qilang, Qilang, you are roasting me on the stove!" Well, it doesn't hurt to tell you. I knew that this was a pure accident, not how powerful I was. After Liu Yi and Xiao Xunqi reached a reconciliation, he warned Liu Qi to restrain his behavior from now on, and not to fornicate with Liangguo and do those things that violate the law of the country. Liu Qi cut off a large amount of money, and when he complained in private, he was learned by this general, and he mentioned it when he wrote to me to say goodbye...... So when Liu Yi recommended Wang Chun to be the imperial history supervisor, I knew that this person would die soon! ”

What else can Xu You say, the grievances and hatreds of the bigwigs in the DPRK and China, he is not qualified to participate now, but if you listen to these bloody insiders, you will be a little more vigilant. In this power field, everyone is a ruthless beast, and if you are not careful, you will be the next to die!

"General, there are five thousand people who jumped into the sea with Du Mingyu on the dock, plus the white thief who died before, Qiantang is almost filled with corpses......"

Xu You and Zhu Zhi smiled at the same time and glanced at each other, Xu You's chest was tight, it was difficult to suppress the grief in his heart, and he lowered his head and didn't make a sound. Zhu Zhi's face was gloomy and terrifying, and he said coldly after a while: "Xiao Yushu, Xiao Yushu...... What a ruthless heart! ”

These martyrs were not all Daoists of the Heavenly Master's Dao, and a large part of them were the real Six Heavens Sect members who believed in the Wuwei Banner Flower and aimed at the Six Heavens to rule the Heavens.

In Xu You's previous life, the world that has been brainwashed by the rapidly expanding desires will never have those who have only been read in history books and are willing to die with the lost faith, such as the famous Battle of Yashan, where 100,000 people jumped into the sea and died for the country, but it was a battle between nations, a life-and-death struggle between rise and fall, and death is death, which can be called a feat.

What are these six-day congregations?

For the ambition of some people? For the sake of a long-annihilated sect? Or a puppet whose mind and soul have been controlled by the sect?

Terrible, hateful, pitiful, lamentable!

But it's not respectable!

Xu You picked up the teacup and slowly sprinkled it on the ground, in order to pay tribute to those undead who should not have passed away with the wind, whether it was six days or the Heavenly Master's Dao, no matter when, no matter what religion, the purpose of its existence was never to let people die!

It's time to change all that!

In the next day and night, Zhu Zhi's pro-army killed forty-eight soldiers in Qiantang City one after another, hung bloody heads on horsetails, circled the city three times, and told the troops as a warning, which stopped the trend of plundering the people everywhere. The left army had the most deaths, and the army lord was not angry, so he told Xiao Yushu in front of the seat, and before he finished speaking, he was whipped a few times by Xiao Yushu with a horse whip, and reprimanded: "I strictly order all armies to make sure that they do not commit any crimes in autumn after entering the city." You are not strict in your governance, you are arson and harass the people, you are not even as good as thieves, and you still have the courage to come here to cry? But do you think I'm a bully? General Zhu killed well, and killed too little, get back to me, if there is another person in the left army who violates my general's order, he will behead you and apologize to the Qiantang father! ”

The commander of the left army retreated in embarrassment, he didn't dare to take Xiao Yushu's words as a deaf ear. Don't forget, the last Qiu Yuan who was killed, that was the righteous general Zhichong, Xiao Yushu said that he would cut it, how many heads did he have, and he dared to disobey the general's Yang and Yin?

With the experience of the commander of the Left Army, the military discipline of all armies immediately improved, and there was no need for Zhu Zhi to bother to maintain it, and the nightmare of the people of Qiantang finally came to an end. It's just a pity that after a series of wars, there is not one out of ten households in the city, and it is already full of grief and suffering!

Xu You stayed in the city for two days, during which he returned to Jingyuan, where the burning fire had just been extinguished, and the once elegant and deep house had been reduced to ashes.

"Fenghu, do you think I have a problem with the eight characters? First Yixing, then Jingyuan, but whenever there is a home, it must be burned clean. ”

"Lang Jun's day mourns!" Zuo Yanhu's eyes were a little gloomy, Jing Yuan felt more like home to them, not just a temporary foothold, and said: "As long as the people are still there, Jing Yuan can restore its original appearance!" ”

"No need, it's gone, it's gone, when we return to Qiantang in the future, we will find another place to live!"

Xu You is nostalgic for the old, but he doesn't drill the horns, looking at the dilapidated appearance of Jingyuan, without months or even a year of renovation and reconstruction, it is impossible to live in people, rather than wasting time and manpower like this, it is better to start anew.

At this moment, there was a sound of horses' hooves at the end of the street, and a person came to Xu You, turned over and dismounted, and bowed down: "Xu Langjun, the general asks you to go back immediately!" ”

"Urgent?"

This person's name is Zhu Sheng, and he is Zhu Zhi's confidant, and Xu You recognizes him. He looked left and right, took two steps forward, and said in a low voice: "I found Zhu Wuxuan!" ”

Nothing to lose?

He's not dead yet?

Xu You showed a surprised look, since the last time he saw the snow monk, he had been on the same side. I only heard that he was pulled by Du Mingyu in an ox cart, wearing white clothes and soaking in a dung bucket to tour the counties and counties, both physically and psychologically, he suffered inhuman humiliation and torture, plus his physical disability was serious, and his martial arts were exhausted, so he said that he couldn't live too long, but he didn't expect that even Du Mingyu died, and he was still alive!

This vitality is really tenacious!

"How did you find him?"

Xu You looked at the pile of mud on the floor of the room, which was even more inhuman than the last time he saw it, if he didn't know, he would really think that it was just stinky garbage piled up on the side of the road, and the water would not take a second look.

Zhu Zhi frowned, looked at Zhu Wuxian seriously, and said when he heard the voice: "In the prison of the Criminal Department...... Oh, it's the prison before the Qiantang County Ya that has been expanded a bit...... He was mixed in with some criminals, and was treated as a dog, with other people's shoes in his mouth, crawling on his knees and crawling on the ground, and when the people below checked his identity, he found that he was originally known as the Buddha's Zhu Wuxuan......"
