Chapter 0216: Post Station Murder
Continuing to walk on the country road, Zhang Jiao said: "Let's rest in the post station for a day, and visit the old man tomorrow." ”
His disciples looked at each other, and one of them asked, "Master, this person is just the head of the Son of Heaven when he was a child, not to mention that he is now old and mediocre, and his ears and eyes are not clear, why do we still visit him repeatedly?" ”
"Hahaha" Zhang Jiao heard this, but suddenly laughed, did not answer, although the disciples did not get an answer, but also accompanied Zhang Jiao, and stayed with him, and the slave family sent by Uncle Liu also rushed to the post station, in the Jiedu Pavilion, Uncle Liu's prestige is still very high, the post station officials arranged a few rooms close to Zhang Jiao for these slaves.
so that they can complete Uncle Liu's instructions.
After settling in with his disciples, Zhang Jiao sat alone in the dormitory, holding a roll of bamboo slips, sighing helplessly, he studied under Hebei Taiping Dao, on the fundamentals, in fact, it is the same as Zhang Heng's Huang Lao Dao, but, unlike Yizhou, Jizhou and Yanzhou are the hearts of the Han Dynasty, and if Taiping Dao wants to prosper, it must be supported by the imperial court.
Zhang Heng They are around Hanzhong County, they can travel around Hanzhong County at will, they can cure people and save lives, and spread faith everywhere, that is because they are originally the local heroes, they have the support of the local family, and there is no government power to intervene, Zhang Jiao They are much harder, and they are not even qualified to travel and preach, in this era, if you want to go out, you need to test the transmission, if not, you will be caught by the officials along the way!
Zhang Jiao also scattered his family property, rescued people everywhere, only then did he gain the respect of the locals, and then obtained the qualification to preach everywhere, which was recognized by the local officials, at this time, suddenly, Jizhou and other places embroidered messengers increased, it is said that they were in order to maintain the safety of the canal to be built, after their arrival, they quickly arrested hundreds of monks.
On the charge of slandering the king, he was directly brought into the embroidery prison, and he still doesn't know life and death.
Under the full pressure of the imperial court, Zhang Jiao fell into a difficult situation, and his believers were decreasing day by day, a disaster, the imperial court went all out to provide disaster relief, so that he had no room to play at all, and even faced the danger of being arrested by the embroidered messenger, at this time, Zhang Jiao suddenly figured out, instead of thinking about how to escape the capture of the imperial court, it was better to go directly to the imperial court.
The scholars of the Han Dynasty, who served the court and served the Son of Heaven, were countless, and almost every prosperous era would faintly appear the figure of the monks, some of these scholars were killed, some escaped, and some got a good death, Zhang Jiao also had such an expectation in his heart, under this expectation, he came to Luoyang, and wanted to meet the Son of Heaven, but he only had some prestige in a small area of Hebei.
In Luoyang, he is nothing.
He asked several times, the soldiers guarding the city gate, but they didn't even respond to the report, and he even contacted the eunuchs in the palace, because these eunuchs were greedy for money, and if they could use money to see the Son of Heaven, he would also be willing, but he never thought that none of the eunuchs in the palace dared to accept bribes, and he didn't expect that he was not the only one who was afraid of the embroidered messenger.
With Zhang He eyeing him on the side, these yellow doors don't dare to accept any bribes, Zhang He has obtained the true inheritance of Yang Qiu, and now his notoriety of tyranny and inhumanity is even comparable to Yang Qiu!
Zhang Jiao was not seen several times, in desperation, but finally came to the Xie Du Pavilion, he knew that this old man could completely help Zhang Jiao, when today's son is the king of benevolence and righteousness, for this young servant of his family, he must also be loving, if he can take this boat, want to preach the Quartet ambition will also be able to succeed.
At night, quietly, outside the post station, several people in black quietly gathered, several people looked at each other, and slowly came to the front of the house where Zhang Jiao was.
The next day, Zhang Jiao woke up early, did not disturb the rest of the disciples, walked outside the house, ate, and read the Taoist scriptures again
He looked at him with a smile and asked, "How was Jun resting yesterday?" Zhang Jiao thanked him gently: "Very good, thank you for your hospitality!" The old official smiled and began to tidy up the courtyard, and Zhang Jiao also got up to help.
But was rejected by the old official, Zhang Jiao's disciples came to their senses one by one, but, it was almost noon, but there were still two people who did not come out of the house, which made the rest of Zhang Jiao's disciples a little angry, Zhang Jiao's biological brother Zhang Bao, who was also one of the disciples, got up and walked towards the house of the two people, Zhang Jiao did not organize, just a moment, they heard Zhang Bao's exclamation!
Several people suddenly got up and ran over, Zhang Jiao following behind them.
Zhang Bao looked at the room dumbfounded, the rest of the people just approached, they smelled the pungent smell of blood, after the door was opened, this smell of blood rushed out, almost fainted Zhang Bao, Zhang Jiao hurriedly squeezed in, looked over, the room was a pool of blood, the blood had coagulated, turned black, and the strange thing was that there was no corpse on the ground.
The room was empty, only a place of blood, Zhang Jiao and many disciples hurriedly went in and searched around, but there was no one in the room, Zhang Bao looked at the room with some horror, got up, and said tremblingly: "This is how it was when I came in!" They were killed! They were killed! Zhang Jiao turned his head and said sternly: "Go and report to the official quickly!" ”
The disciples hurriedly rushed out, Zhang Jiao looked at the pool of blood, speechless for a long time, yesterday, Zhang Jiao himself did not sleep so well, there was a pool of blood all over the ground, but he did not hear any sound of fighting and howling, thinking about it, he couldn't help but be a little scared, and the old official of the post station on the side was already trembling with horror, completely speechless.
After a while, there were a large number of guards rushed to the post station, here is the former residence of the Son of Heaven, there are a lot of guards left, but also more elite, dozens of guards rushed here, after hearing the narrative of Zhang Jiao and others, they immediately reported to the county officials, for a while, the country of Hejian was shaken again, and two people were killed, it was not a big deal, but if it happened in the Xie Du Pavilion, it was a big deal!
The county officials have not yet arrived, but the trembling Uncle Liu came here with the support of a swarthy house slave, and when he saw this person, many guards also hurriedly saluted, not only because of his age, but also because of his identity, Uncle Liu walked in, and did not pay attention to the salute of everyone, and hurriedly asked: "What happened here?" Who was murdered?? ”
Zhang Jiao got up and said a little lonely: "It's my disciple, the two disciples are nowhere to be found, there is only some blood on the ground", he pointed to the house and said, Uncle Liu hurriedly walked into the house, looked around, and suddenly the whole person trembled with anger, his face turned red, he gritted his teeth, and shouted viciously: "Bold maniac, bold maniac, how dare you commit murder here!" ”
