On April 22, the twenty-first year of Yongzhi, Chen Xiaoting rushed to Taixi after galloping all the way.

But he did not enter the city, but crossed the county town of Taixi and came to a market town.

It should be noted that in order to hide people's eyes and ears when they went to Taixi this time, Chen Xiaoting and others did not wear official uniforms.

Now, in order to protect his privacy, Chen Xiaoting generally does not wear official uniforms outside, so as not to be remembered and his face will cause unnecessary trouble.

The market town is called Hesha Town, and as the name suggests, there is a river here, which happens to flow to Taixi County as a moat.

But the market town is not the point, because the people of the White Lotus Sect will not be so stupid and will carry out activities in crowded places.

Maybe they were so bold a few years ago, but after Shen Yue's strong suppression, these people all turned into rats and burrowed into the ground.

Therefore, it is difficult to catch the traces of rats now, so much so that Chen Xiaoting has to come over in person.

In a village a few miles away from Hesha Town, Chen Xiaoting had already brought people to arrive at this time, while Zhang Cheng was waiting at the entrance of the village.

Seeing Chen Xiaoting's arrival, Zhang Cheng hurriedly rushed over and said, "Humble greetings!" ”

Chen Xiaoting couldn't help jumping off the horse, and then said, "How is the situation?" ”

Zhang Cheng replied: "Lord Hui, in this village, I did find traces of the White Lotus Sect's mission, but I failed to capture the White Lotus Sect's thieves!" ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Cheng was very ashamed, Chen Xiaoting trusted him to give him this important task, but he couldn't get it done.

Sure enough, nothing was found, and Chen Xiaoting was not angry at this time, but asked, "Then what have you found here?" ”

There's always something to look for, even if it's slightly related.

At this time, Zhang Cheng said: "I found out the farmer who worshiped the White Lotus Evil God, and I also found the non-killing and rebellious items from his home!" ”

The so-called rebellious items refer to the items used by the White Lotus Sect during their missions, which are prohibited in this era.

Chen Xiaoting said as usual: "Go and see!" ”

Along the way, Zhang Cheng introduced the situation in detail.

It turned out that in this village, a total of three families were found worshipping the statue of the White Lotus Sect, and these three families lived together to protect each other, so they were not discovered for a long time.

Now, in order to crack down on the White Lotus Sect's anti-thieves, the government has set up rewards, so it has become unsafe for missionary work among the lower classes.

For example, this time they were able to find these three families, because someone found traces and then exchanged the news for a reward.

It's just that when Zhang Cheng turned around a few times and found out here, he only controlled these families, and finally didn't catch the backbone of the White Lotus Sect.

Soon Chen Xiaoting came to several peasant households, and the three families were all gathered together at this time, and they were tied to wooden stakes, and they seemed to have been punished.

But in the eyes of these people, Chen Xiaoting saw hatred, but he didn't find a trace of fear.

This made Chen Xiaoting understand that these people had been brainwashed and basically couldn't ask anything.

Moreover, it seems that Zhang Cheng has also worked hard for this, but he didn't ask anything.

"My lord, please come into the house and take a look!" Zhang Cheng said in a deep voice.

So Chen Xiaoting followed him into the house, only to see that the room was full of all kinds of White Lotus Sect flags, as well as some relatively well-made statues of gods.

These things were previously worshiped by these three farmers, but now they are littered on the ground, and there is nothing sacred about them.

"Missionaries, these people won't say a word?" Chen Xiaoting couldn't help asking.

Zhang Cheng said: "Although these people are hard-boned, they are not iron-beaten, but they know too little!"

So Chen Xiaoting asked again, "So, what do they know?"

Zhang Cheng replied: "According to these people, the number of people who come to preach is not fixed, and every time they come in the middle of the night, two people come each time!"

"The two of them are always acting the same as the White Lotus Sect!" Chen Xiaoting said calmly.

After all, the White Lotus Sect is a thief, and in order to avoid the fate of this village, Chen Xiaoting decided to teach these people a lesson.

After all, Zhang Cheng and the others brought knives, not to mention that they all brought knives at this time, so they quickly gathered nearly 200 people in the village.

But this kind of lecture must not be done by Chen Xiaoting in person, so the matter was pointed out to Zhang Cheng.

Zhang Cheng has been famous in the village for the past two days, and it is only appropriate for him to come.

A village of old and young gathered inside and outside the courtyard, Zhang Cheng stood on the grinding plate, cleared his throat and shouted: "Everyone is a villager, and many words are said by the official!"

"The White Lotus Sect is a thief, a disaster star that makes the village unstable, and a murderer who poisons you!"

"Look at these three families, what happened to all of them being harmed by the White Lotus Sect's anti-thieves?"

If these three families can speak, they will definitely scold Zhang Cheng to death, aren't they just hurt by Zhang Cheng.

And in their hearts, the messenger of the White Lotus Sect came to guide them and return to the arms of the Divine Mother in their hearts, how did they become heinous people?

Aren't they the people in the government who are greedy and pervert the law and take it by force?

Of course, the onlookers may not think so much, but they also know that the three farmers were harmed like this by the person who spoke in front of them.

Chen Xiaoting is also famous for this, but this is not important to him.

The people of this era are ignorant, and he does not have the ability to make these people understand what evil intentions are hidden under the hypocrisy of the White Lotus Sect.

So now he agrees with Zhang Cheng's way of speaking, because as long as some people know what the end of colluding with the White Lotus Sect is, it will be fine.

Sure enough, at this time, Zhang Cheng shouted: "If anyone colludes with the White Lotus Sect again, they will end up with them!"

After saying this, Zhang Cheng came to Chen Xiaoting's side and asked him if he had anything to explain.

At this time, Chen Xiaoting said: "These three families, except for young children, each of them will be beaten with thirty sticks, and they can just be left in one breath!"

Zhang Cheng was puzzled for a moment: "My lord, why don't you just behead these people?"

Chen Xiaoting glanced at the villagers outside, and said: "Beheading is a matter of a knife, leaving them in one breath can drag on for a few days, and then these people will definitely die, but it can deter these villagers!"

Speaking of this, Chen Xiaoting continued: "At the same time, you can also let them see if the so-called White Lotus Evil God will come to save her believers!"

Zhang Cheng's heart couldn't help but move, and he asked, "My lord, what if someone really comes to the rescue?"

Chen Xiaoting smiled and said calmly: "That's great!"

Zhang Cheng also understood Chen Xiaoting's plan, and said: "The adult is wise, and the humble position is beyond his reach!"

Chen Xiaoting said: "Go and do something!"

Immediately, Zhang Cheng took the order and walked up to the mill again, shouting: "These people are fascinated by the White Lotus Sect's anti-thieves, and it is a felony to behead them......

As soon as these words came out, the hearts of the village people trembled, no one expected that it would have something to do with the White Lotus Sect, and there would be such a heavy criminal law.

"But our hundred households know that they have all been bewitched by the White Lotus Sect's anti-thieves, and we are willing to give them a way to live......

Speaking of this, Zhang Cheng said loudly: "So these people, each of them will be punished with thirty sticks!"

As soon as Zhang Cheng's words were finished, a lieutenant with a messenger began to execute the three peasant households.

Because they had greeted each other in advance, the officers had some strength, otherwise they would have been beaten to death with a few sticks.

After the execution, these people were no longer human, but they still couldn't die with a sigh of relief.

Leaving these ten dying villagers, Chen Xiaoting took everyone away.

Of course, before that, all those items related to the White Lotus Sect were burned in a fire.

didn't go far, Chen Xiaoting asked Zhang Cheng to leave a team of people, ready to wait for the rabbit.

Those people can't die for the time being, and there are children left unattended, and the people of the White Lotus Sect are likely to come back to check on the situation.

He put so much effort into catching those who came back to check on the situation, and maybe he could dig up big fish.

All the people in the village dispersed, surrounded by neighbors who knew each other on a daily basis, and no one dared to have anything to do with the executed farmers.

All that remained in the courtyard was fireworks, the faint moaning of adults, and the cries of children.
