Section 207 The eve of the fight

Controlling the dealer is equivalent to controlling the big shop: thousands of people, more than 300 brave ...... In Lunan did not cost a single shot or a bullet, and it didn't cost half a tael of silver to get such a powerful outpost position, the executive committee may have to have a "new understanding" of the new Taoism

"That's a brilliant plan!" Zhang Yingchen couldn't help but feel shocked, and couldn't help but be secretly proud that he could come up with such a clever plan. However, in order to gain the recognition and belief of the new Taoism from the top to the bottom, it is best to have more strength to show.

Zhang Yingchen knew very well that in order to be recognized by the local people, it was not enough to practice medicine and perform "miracles". He had read a lot of information files on folk Taoism in the Ming and Qing dynasties, and they were full of "spells" of various warlocks.

If the new Taoism wants to gain a foothold in the local area, it may be difficult to develop a firm belief among its followers if it does not show that it has sufficient "mana".

However, one of Zhang Yingchen's positions on Neo-Taoism is to "advocate science", and he is very reluctant to engage in tricks of pretending to be gods and ghosts. Moreover, he also knew that the Senate had a negative attitude towards pretending to be gods. This move of his own is likely to be attacked by Chairman Wu and others, and he could have given himself a hat of "promoting feudal beliefs", or more so, "establishing the prestige of his personal sect leader with questionable motives".

"What should I do?" Zhang Yingchen thought about it, and almost walked to the entrance of the courtyard of the upper house, the torrential rain poured down, and the sky was dark for a while, and the water was flowing everywhere, and the lightning and thunder roared in the distance, and suddenly a landing thunder hit not far away, shaking the tiled houses were trembling slightly.

Zhang Yingchen suddenly smiled: Yes.

Min Zhanlian found that this NV apologetics is really very good. In less than half a day, his eyes and ears successfully entered the big store, and the news came that even the policyholders who lived in the village had been found. In just a few days, not only the information of the big store has been successfully collected, but even the detailed information in the banker's mansion has also been transmitted. Apparently they had believers inside both the Zhuangzi and the Zhuangjia mansion.

Another day, lightning and thunder, and a downpour.

"You have many eyes and ears." Min Zhanlian said.

He stood under the eaves and watched the water flow like a waterfall in front of the dripping eaves. The red-clothed young nv stood just outside the waterfall, in the courtyard.

Although the sky was dark and the rain was pouring in the courtyard, she stood in the rain, dressed in red, only fluttering in the wind, without any traces of rain, like a ghost.

It's in the old nòng Xuanxu again. Min Zhanlian thought to himself that he was now more wary of his employers.

"What's so hard about that?" The red-clothed young man had a disapproving expression, "You just want to know what the governor of Shandong ate last night and which concubine he slept with, and this sect can also know." ”

"What about the Holy One today?"

"Huh." Shao NV smiled and didn't answer, but a determined expression undoubtedly told him that it wasn't a problem.

Min Zhanlian thought to himself that it was no wonder that they thought very highly of themselves, and they really had something outstanding. He thought to himself, his team didn't know if they had infiltrated it? You have to be careful.

"Your sect is really smart." He was very knowledgeable about the times and presented a high hat, "I admire it very much." ”

"Hmph, if you really admire, you should have entered the right path of this sect a long time ago. This sect is originally used to employ people, and with your ability, it is not a problem to be a guardian Venerable. The red-clothed young man sneered. But your covetousness and hatred are very heavy, and if you do not return to the right path sooner or later, you will fall into Hell forever. ”

"Hey, hey, the sky is white, don't curse people for no reason, okay?" Min Zhanlian smiled, "This, I just admire, I didn't say admiration." As for greed and hatred, I'm afraid I can't change it, and if I become a Buddha on the ground, we won't be able to cooperate. He slapped haha, thinking that no matter how big your ability is, you can be bigger than Xu Hongru? Xu Hongru was defeated in less than three months.

"Curser? You're mistaken. This is to exhort you to do good! The red-clothed young man looked awe-inspiring, "Don't think that if you are full of martial arts, you can ignore the Dao Fa." She said as she stepped back, quickly disappearing into the darkness.

Min Zhanlian looked into the darkness for a while before returning to the house. The young NV of the team he brought with him was waiting for him.

"This NV man has a demonic spirit," she complained, "and I get a pimple every time I see him talking to you......"

"They just rely on this to bluff people, and they don't get in the way." Min Zhanlian said, "The news has been sorted out? ”

This young NV man is named Zhou Ruoyun, and he is responsible for intelligence collection and sorting under Min Zhanlian. Zhou Ruoyun is also a master of using swords and hidden weapons, and it is her forte to hit six darts in a row, but the NV is weak, and she has to send out six in an instant, so it is only lethal within thirty steps, and it will not have much effect if she is out of the shè process.

"Sorted out, look." Zhou Ruoyun spread out a few pieces of tissue paper.

The floor plan of the village is drawn on tissue paper, and not only the streets, the public office, the castle, and the residences of the major households are clearly drawn one by one, but also the patrol route of the village warriors, the location of the guard, and the time of the shift change are also marked.

"When we enter the big shop, we can go through the second line of light and dark." Zhou Ruoyun said, "Ming, during the day, the people inside will pick up and go in batches in the name of doing business. But if you go in this way, it is difficult to bring the sword into the township, and the search is very strict. ”

The dark one is the direct invasion at night. In the northwest corner of Dadianzhuang, there is a luàn cemetery, and through the cemetery is the earthen wall. This section of the wall collapsed a few feet because of the heavy water, although it has been repaired recently, there is still a gap, the remnants of the wall are about one person high, and there is a temporary wooden fence on it, and it is easy to climb up and dismantle.

"There are three Zhuang Ding guards there, and they work one shift in half a night." Zhou Ruoyun said, "It's just that there are people patrolling every half an hour." Xiangyong Zhuang Ding are acquaintances with each other, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to paste the past. ”

"It doesn't matter." Min Zhanlian thought to himself that since they had believers in the village, as long as the altar owner had an order, it should not be difficult for them to try to arrange the release of water.

"This is the dealer's picture." Zhou Ruoyun pointed to the floor plan of the dealer's house, where is the upper room, where is the main hall, and there are several méns in the whole house. How the population is distributed. And the place where the Taoist chief lived was deliberately enlarged, and a separate map was drawn.

This picture is more detailed, not only clearly depicting the location of the furniture in each house, but also the specific location of a large tree, a stone table, and several stone benches in the courtyard.

Min Zhanlian looked at the drawings carefully, thinking about how to implement his "heavenly curse".

Suddenly he asked, "What is this?" ”

On the drawing, a black sè box is drawn near the tree.

"It's a cage."

"Tsubako?"

"Yes, I heard that it was originally an iron cage used to raise deer when the dealer opened a yào shop, and this Taoist priest specially asked someone to move it to his yard."

"What is he going to do?"

Zhou Ruoyun said: "He only said that he wanted to use it to cannon yào." It's just that I haven't seen him concoct yào things until now."

Zhang Daochang has been concocting yào things, and finding an iron cage cannon yào is probably nothing.

Min Zhanlian nodded, thinking in his heart how to "curse" this Dao Chief. was pondering, and suddenly there was a thunderbolt outside, and the eaves and windows shook slightly, which frightened Zhou Ruoyun. Patting xiōng: "Oops, it scared me to death." ”

The corners of Min Zhanlian's mouth turned into a smile: "There is." ”

"What? Want a king-size kite? A surprised smile appeared on the apologetic's lips, "It's summer, and I've never heard of kite flying." ”

"Not bad, kite. "You have to be big," Min Zhanlian said, "to be strong, to withstand the wind, and not afraid of the rain." He added, "You have to be able to unpack it." ”

"It's not difficult, if there is a place in Qingzhou, there will be a good kite, and I will send someone to do it immediately." The red-clothed young man nodded, "What else?" ”

"I also want a hundred feet of thin iron chains."

"It's going to take time."

"It's okay, I can afford to wait."

"Yes."

Min Zhanlian said: "Now it's time to wait for the opportunity." ”

More than ten days later, Min Zhanlian got the kite he wanted. The assembled kite is a huge Xuanbird, the painter jīng is thin, combed on the ground like a person with open arms, the whole body is made of oil silk, the skeleton is tied with old strings, and it is extremely strong.

"Good! This thing is just right! Min Zhanlian nodded, "When the time comes, I will have to ask your sect to do it together, so that it can be vigorous." ”

"Well said." The red-clothed young man said, "What are you going to do?" ”

Min Zhanlian didn't say anything, he walked to the water tank under the eaves and saw that he had just raised a few fish, and then watched the stars in the yard for a long time before saying, "Let's do it tomorrow night." ”

Zhang Yingchen was also very busy, he moved the big iron cage for raising deer to the yard in the name of cannon yào, firmly fixed it on the ground, and asked the apprentices to scrub and polish the cage, turning the original rusty iron cage into a cold and shiny. Zhang Yingchen looked at it and felt that the size was roughly suitable, so he asked someone to find a long iron pole four or five zhang high.

Unexpectedly, the iron long rod is not easy to find, and the ancient society did not have a high processing capacity for iron, unless there was a real need, bamboo and wood products were generally used. The apprentices naturally couldn't find it, even if Master Zhuang sent someone to find it. The blacksmith replied that even if it was custom-made, it might not be too long. If you have to do it, they can give it a try.

"In an agrarian society, it's hard to do anything." Zhang Yingchen muttered, "It's hard to make an iron stick, but it's even more difficult to build a machine with your bare hands." ”

He sat under the window, spread out the letter and began to write to the "center".

The content of the letter is a proposal for a joint venture between Runshitang and Master Zhuang's yào shop. In the letter, he suggested that Runshitang send someone to Yizhou to contact Master Zhuang, put a batch of Zhongcheng yào here to sell on behalf of him, first start the Runshitang brand locally, and then gradually reach in. Although Yizhou is not a big place, it is close to the canal, and it is also a convenient place for Jiāo to pass through, and it can radiate many areas of the three western provinces.
