No force is perfect, whether it is government, Taoism, or any other organization.

Zhang Lu governed Hanzhong with the Five Buckets of Rice Sect, which was very feasible. If it weren't for the entry of external forces into Hanzhong, Zhang Lu could have ruled Hanzhong until his death.

However, the personnel of the Wudoumi Sect are complex, including believers with sincere beliefs and believers who pretend to believe for the sake of official positions.

For example, Yang Bai.

Yang Bai is greedy for money and stingy, the official worships the long history of Hanzhong, and it is also the sacrificial wine of the Five Buckets of Rice Sect, and the portrait of Lao Tzu is enshrined at home, and he often recites scriptures.

He was trusted by Zhang Lu.

As a result, on the first day Guan Ping entered Nanzheng City, he killed Yang Bai, and the Wanguan family wealth in Yang Bai's family was also accepted by Guan Ping unceremoniously.

And there are many people like Yang Bai who break the law and even commit crimes, some of them are scholars and some are from ordinary people.

Don't think that the common people are honest, maybe the people from the common people will be even worse.

was originally a Tian family, and suddenly hugged the golden thigh of the Wudou Mijiao, made sacrificial wine, and treated the head of the big sacrificial wine, and suddenly got carried away, so he embezzled a lot, robbed the people's daughters, and even killed people and goods.

Quite a few.

Although the Hanzhong County Government was determined to act, it did not make a big show, but acted in secret. It is about investigating clearly and then arresting the perpetrators.

If it is a large-scale hunt and killing, it will inevitably cause turmoil in Hanzhong, and when the time comes, those who have not been traitors and criminals will mistakenly think that they will endanger themselves, and then rebel together, then the fun will be great.

The striking surface should not be too large, and it is the best policy to divide it, divide it, and divide it again.

Ten cities in Hanzhong, except for Guan Pingchu who entered the Tiger City and killed all the city's head sacrifice wine, sacrifice wine, the rest of the cities also have the existence of the head sacrifice wine and sacrifice wine.

Even in the Li, Ting, and Township outside the city of Lianhucheng, there are still a large number of sacrificial wines.

I think that after Xu Shu entered Hanzhong, he was an old man who managed the righteous house, and they were all sacrificial wine. There are huge numbers of people who sacrifice wine in Hanzhong.

The sacrificial wine of the Five Buckets of Rice Sect cannot be killed completely.

But it said Tiger City.

The Xu family in Hucheng is a well-deserved celebrity in front of Guan Ping, and the current first-class family in Hanzhong. Because Guan Ping first entered Tiger City, he made a plan to buy a thousand miles of horses. Appointed the old official Xu Hu to engage.

At present, this engagement is still hanging, and the official official title is General Yang Wu. And Xu Zhao first made the county magistrate of Hucheng, and then was promoted to the county and became the chief secretary of Hanzhong.

As for the position of Hucheng County Commander, Guan Ping assigned Xu Hu's second son, Xu Zhao's younger brother Xu Yuan, to take office.

Guan Ping treats the Xu family father and son well, and the Xu family father and son are also doing their best, and the Xu family father and son hate the Wudou Rice Sect, after the matter was ordered by the Hanzhong County Guard, Xu Yuan secretly assigned someone to investigate the sacrificial wine outside the city, this investigation is really shocking.

However, it is said that the rules of the Five Buckets Rice Sect are called ghost pawns when they first enter the religion, and they need to hand over five buckets of rice.

There are more than 5,000 sacrificial wines, and there are even more ghost pawns.

Many of these sacrificial wines are from common people, greedy and tyrannical, in the name of ghosts and gods, seeking to obtain farms and houses, and even killing people and raping women, abound.

Can the god stick not be a bad guy?

The priests raped the women, not even rape, because they could act in the name of the spirits. For example, when a woman is sick and does not see a doctor to treat her, she comes to the priest and asks for forgiveness from the spirits.

The sacrificial wine said, "Let's sleep for the night."

Can terminally ill believers not believe?

Therefore, Xu Shu and Ma Jian believed that the people were dull, the scholars were smart, and the higher the wisdom, the less they believed in ghosts and gods.

Guan Ping decided to promote the scholars, pull out the banner, expel the Wudoumi Sect, and set things right, so that he could become a force and force Zhang Lu.

This attack on the heart, the method of strategy, if the army is really pulled out, and the two sides are really fighting with real swords and guns, Guan Ping is not so easy to enter Hanzhong.

And Xu Yuan's investigation, this situation abounds and is shocking.

There is a Chaoji Township in the south of Hucheng, and Chaoji Township has a population of four or five thousand, and there are two pavilions and eight miles under it. The positions of these petty officials were divided among the sacrificial wines of the Five Bucket Rice Sect.

Xu Zhao and Xu Yuan successively served as the commander of Hucheng County, so they sent credible officials to expel the sacrificial wine of the Wudou Rice Sect and held these official positions.

Originally, those sacrificial wine of the Five Bucket Rice Sect were just idle at home for a while, some people chanted and worshiped ghosts and gods all day long, and some people were afraid.

Later, Guan Ping entered Nanzheng and treated Zhang Lu well, and these sacrificial wines breathed a sigh of relief, continued to chant and worship ghosts and gods, and organized the sacrificial activities of the Wudou Rice Sect, which was very active.

But there are also people who keep their heads up and start to do things in a low-key manner.

Ma Chong is one of them.

Ma Chong is a very normal sacrificial wine on the surface, but he is actually a vicious person.

Ma Chong is in his forties this year and has joined the Wudou Rice Sect for more than ten years, and is a senior sacrificial wine in the Wudou Rice Sect. He was originally from a peasant family and was illiterate.

But because after joining the Five Bucket Rice Sect, the tide rose, and after becoming a sacrificial wine, he became the head of Dongyang Pavilion, and in the past ten years, he has done I don't know how many things.

Of course, now Ma Chong is no longer the head of Dongyang Pavilion, just a low-key person. Even he didn't participate in the sacrificial activities organized by the Wudoumi Sect, and even the portraits of Lao Tzu, Zhang Lu, and ghosts and gods hanging in his house were put away.

Neither chanting nor burning incense.

Low-key excess.

But despite this, Ma Chong was still frightened, couldn't sleep at night, and often woke up in the night.

On this day, Ma Chong left the house early in the morning and came to the nearby river to fish. He didn't go back at noon, he ate some rice balls to satisfy his hunger, and it wasn't until dusk that Ma Chong picked up the fish basket and went home with a fishing rod.

On the way, many villagers greeted Ma Chong, but Ma Chong just hummed or nodded in a low-key manner, and hurried back to his home.

"But I'm back." Ma Chong's old wife, Chen, snuggled in front of the door and waited for Ma Chong to come back. Ma Chong nodded at his wife and went through the door.

Immediately the Ma family began to eat, Ma Chong sat on the upper seat of the lobby, and below him were the old wife Chen, the concubine Li, the concubine Wang, the concubine Nian, and many Ma Chong's children.

Ma Chong looked depressed and glanced at the concubine Li, who was the one he had assassinated and killed Li's husband, and then got it.

I don't know what to do.

Ma Chong looked at his feet again, and there was a lot of gold buried under this floor, which was his savings over the years.

These things in the old days were all beautiful things. But at this moment, Guan Ping is in power and commands Hanzhong, and these things have become a talisman.

Ma Chong hurriedly ate and went to the front yard to fetch water, but stopped again, because the bones of a family were buried in the front yard, two husband and wife, plus three children.

This family was originally Ma Chong's neighbor, and Ma Chong coveted the neighbor's farmhouse, so he personally deceived the husband and wife in the name of ghosts and gods, and then killed them, and killed three children and buried them in the courtyard.

lied to the outside world that the family of five went to Bashu to join relatives, and took the neighbor's farm house for their own use.

Before that, Ma Chong was proud and never afraid. Man does not perish for his own sake. I am a five-bucket rice priest wine, and I have an amulet.

What's wrong with killing people and overselling goods? What's wrong with coveting beauty? What's wrong with being greedy for money?

I heard that Yang Bai is a greedy person for money, and he has a huge family, but he is not stable?

But at this moment, Ma Chong felt that these were all life talismans. He woke up at night because he had a nightmare, dreaming that the government came to arrest him and go to the vegetable market.

Ma Chong stamped his feet, and went to fetch water and bathe with an ugly face. After taking a shower, he went to bed and woke up three more times that night.

The next day, Ma Chong planned to go out fishing early, and only fishing could calm his mind a little.

But here comes the trouble.

Early in the morning, Xu Yuan dispatched many officials to help the pavilion chief deal with the matter of the Five Bucket Rice Sect.

Now the pavilion chief of Dongyang Pavilion is called Chen Yuan, who is a scholar, and he also hates the Five Doumi Sect. Early in the morning, he rushed into Ma Chong's house with more than a dozen servants, all with knives and bows.

Ma Chong was just about to go out and try to escape by smearing oil on the soles of his feet, but was caught by the wolf-like servants. Immediately, the officials rushed in again and grabbed Ma Chong's family.

And Chen Yuan came with the officials, which naturally caused a lot of movement. Many villagers in the village came to watch, and when they saw Ma Chong being caught, they immediately showed angry faces.

It's just that no one stood up for a while, so they didn't rush up.

After all, Ma Chong is the sacrificial wine of the Five Buckets of Rice Sect, and they are believers.

"Cultists. Guan Ping killed Shijun (Zhang Lu) and wanted to destroy the Wudou Rice Sect. This person has offended the ghosts and gods, and the ghosts and gods will definitely punish them, as long as you kill Guan Ping and deal with these Guan Ping's lackeys, you will be blessed by the ghosts and gods. Ma Chong was desperate, but when he saw this, he had a lot of strength and yelled hard.

"Kill, kill these Guan Ping's lackeys." As soon as they were instigated, the villagers were already excited, and then they went back to their respective homes, and those who had bows took bows, and those who did not have bows took hoes and forks, and they rushed up angrily.

At that time, the Yellow Turban soldiers of Taiping Road relied on hoes and forks to defeat many county commanders, county guards, and generals, and then swept the world.

Religion is terrifying.

This is the case with birds in Hanzhong. The country that sat under Guan Ping's ass only relied on strong troops to maintain, the support of the scholars, and the kindness to Zhang Lude.

If Zhang Lu is killed, then Hanzhong will be chaotic.

Even now that Guan Ping wants to do it, he doesn't dare to crack down on the sacrificial wine on a large scale, and he can only fight the traitors and destroy them by law.

Then summon the rest of the branches of Taoism to come to Hanzhong, absorb the believers of the Wudoumi Sect, and divide them.

And inside the village. Pavilion Chief Chen Yuan only brought a dozen servants, but there were hundreds of people, and some teenagers simply picked up forks and swarmed over.

There are four or five hundred people in this number, and there are only a dozen of them, and the difference in strength between the two sides is too great.
