Because Deng Jian left Quyang, which was surging in secret, and because of Deng Jian's return, he calmed down.

The people continued to live their own lives until the white-shirted army pickets the door and touched the Maitreya disciples.

Are there any Christians in the family?

Yes, when did you become religious?

When and from whom did I preach?

No, is there a tendency?

It has only been a day since this "true and false believers" incident, and the people have heard the rumors to some extent, and they are all hanging in their hearts.

Didn't this whiteshirt army be driven away by Lieutenant Deng?

Why is there another city in the city?

Before Lieutenant Deng was not there, the whiteshirts showed their heads, why did Lieutenant Deng come back and the whiteshirts were still there?

The common people who are confused, there are honest ones, what should they do; Some think too much, for fear that there will be some repetition at the top, and they don't believe anything if they bite themselves to death.

The so-called picket of the white-shirted army means that the four hundred scouts are filled, divided into forty tithes, and according to the household register, the four cities in the southeast, northwest, and west are inspected at the same time.

Among them, the leaders are all from Black Python Mountain, and they have been learning words for two months, and they can make simple records.

On this day, more than 7,000 households in the county were surveyed, and 1,600 households were checked.

Of these 1,600 households, it seems that only a quarter of the 400 families admitted to offering to Maitreya, but this is only an acknowledgement, and does not include concealment.

According to the inspection of the Scouts, among the remaining more than 1,000 households, there are still two or three hundred households that smell of incense and find traces of Buddhist shrines.

Of these more than 400 admissions, a quarter of them were influenced by the elders in the family and had long been worshipping the statue of Maitreya.

A quarter of them had been enshrined a few years earlier, and the neighbors who had been preaching had gone to Lingshui with the White Shirts two months earlier.

The remaining half is that after the "rationing" system in the county seat, he was preached by Deng Wenwen and others when he often went to the county government to receive rations.

When this data is handed in, Huo Bao will admire Deng Wenwen, although he is wolf-hearted, but this brainwashing kung fu is really powerful.

Thinking about that day, at the gate of the county yamen, those Confucian scholars who were found to be Buddha were weak and scared at first, but after listening to what Deng Wenwen said about the lotus flower, they were not afraid of death.

This is talent!

Thinking that Deng Jian was going to interrogate and deal with these people today, Huo Bao couldn't sit still and got up to find Deng Jian.

The thirty-six "false believers", Deng Jian has already tortured them once.

He is the master of Quyang, he has no scruples, he speaks honestly, and he is not honest on the board.

Deng Wenwen said that he was arrogant, and he took all the things of digging tunnels and hiding raw lacquer on his head, but in fact, he really didn't have that weight, but he didn't make soy sauce.

conspired with Zhao Liu, covered for Zhao Liu's people, and deliberately tied up and waited for the children of the officials to join the church, which could not be run.

Now the high-level leaders of Quyang are watching, Zhao Liu has been awarded the head, according to Deng Jian's temperament, Deng Wenwen, an accomplice, was also the end of "righteous extermination of relatives".

When Huo Bao arrived, he heard Deng Jian say: "Leaving the whole corpse is also a complete relative!" ”

"I'm afraid that Master Deng is sad over there, but it can't be done, just take it away!" It was Li Qianhu who persuaded him.

"It's still damned, if you don't kill a hundred examples, no one dares to calculate the county lieutenant!" This is Zhang Qianhu.

Seeing Huo Bao coming, the three of them stopped talking.

Huo Bao did not knock on the side, and directly said the results of the investigation and Deng Wenwen's "missionary ability".

"Deng Ren has actually passed on the kung fu for two months, and he has concealed it strictly, and there is no good thing in those sour students in the yamen!" Zhang Qianhu frowned.

"Either the grain will be exchanged for the battalion and distributed, or the county government will be in charge of the battalion, but those people can't make a few fools!" Li Qianhu also said.

Deng Jian didn't say anything about the county government, but asked Huo Bao: "Do you think Deng Ren can use it?" ”

"It's a pity that Deng Ren killed it directly, it can be used. The people of Binjiang are either fishing or running merchants, and they have many auxiliary industries, and they are richer than other counties, and the Maitreya religion is insufficient. Sending Deng Ren to Binjiang to 'preach' can't be said to be a help! Huo Bao nodded.

In fact, Binjiang is a front, and the most suitable place for Deng Ren to preach is Jinling.

When the situation in Huainan is clear, everyone should focus on Jiangnan.

If you first arrange for someone to "preach" in the past and hold the Jinling Church in your own hands, you may have miraculous achievements in the future.

Huo Bao spoke, Deng Jian nodded, and Zhang and Li didn't have much to do.

It's just that the death penalty can be avoided, and the living crime is unforgivable, Deng Ren still suffered fifty boards.

*

In the evening, everyone came to the Sifang Inn.

Tonight, the Sifang Inn will hold a shaving feast, and the main ingredient is the anchovies sent by the riverside.

It was not someone else who pressed the convoy to deliver the anchovies, it was Ma Juzi and Niu Qing.

The bucket was filled with river water, and the anchovies were in it, and they were all live fish when they arrived in Quyang.

More than a dozen mule carts, escorted by more than 100 people, were sent anchovies on the surface, but in fact they brought back 150,000 taels of silver.

The 150,000 taels of silver were sent to Huo Bao to receive, but it was not Huo Bao's silver, but the "share money" of Deng Jian, Huo Wu, and Xue Qi.

Ma Juzi and Niu Qing also knew about the "business way" because of this silver, and their eyes were red.

When they saw Huo Bao, the two hugged him aside.

Ma Juzi complained: "Brother Bao, why do you remember your uncles and forget our younger generation?" ”

Niu Qing pleaded: "Why don't you let me come over?" The fifth uncle is also too peaceful, and I am idle over there. ”

"That is, there is no life on the road of this world now, where is it so easy to tread the road? It's not that my sister is underestimated, the Scouts are all half-grown children, which makes people feel uneasy. ”

Speaking of which, it means that the younger generation wants to get involved.

But if there are too many people, it will be chaotic.

This "wading road" is not only the business road of smuggling, but also the arrangement of the Huo family's father and son.

Huo Bao spread his hands and said, "Why are my senior sister and cousin so desperate? In my stall, a few elders account for 60 percent, the remaining 40 percent are mine, and 30 percent are child soldiers. What's the point of you squeezing in, at most sharing that with me? I'm looking at Jiangsu and Zhejiang, don't you just go to Huguang! If you lack capital, find a few elders to make up, if you want to do exclusive trading, just think of your own ideas, not better than mixing together! ”

"Huh?" Niu Qing was surprised: "This is a method, but Huguang is not familiar with the road?" ”

Huo Bao rolled his eyes: "Who is familiar with Jiangsu and Zhejiang?" is a layman, and if you want to get in, you have to start over. ”

Ma Foal's eyes shimmered, and he was already thinking about the possibility of Huo Bao's words.

Huo Bao made the distribution of "smuggling" profits clear, and the two were embarrassed to entangle again, otherwise it would be like snatching food from Huo Bao's bowl.

When the banquet opened, the three generations of Deng Jian's ancestors and grandchildren were the east, and the guests were Zhang, Li, and Wang Sanqianhu, as well as Huo Bao, Huo Bao, Hou Xiaoming, Ma Juzi, and Niu Qing.

Anchovy is one of the "Three Fresh Foods of the Yangtze River", also known as "May Fresh", which is in season.

The main dish of the table is a dish of steamed anchovy and a dish of fresh fish and sheep.

Master Deng is a glutton, Xiuxiu is also a snack, and the grandfather and grandson only care about eating.

Others have their own ideas.

Zhang, Li, and Wang Sanqianhu are all Deng Jian's henchmen, and they have already seen that Deng Jianming's ally on the face is the third apprentice, and in private he trusts Huo Wu, who has just occupied Binjiang.

Look at the young and heroic Huo Bao, and then look at Xiuxiu who is still the same age, which is obviously the meaning of "kissing and kissing".

What's even more rare is that this Huo Bao is Huo's fifth parent, apprentice's third nephew, and one person is holding two heads.

The three of them are all under Deng Jian, and they are looking forward to Deng Jian being as stable as possible, and at the same time, their own family cannot be left behind.

"Little Baoye, my old Zhang respects you for a ......," Zhang San got up and said.

Huo Bao didn't hold it up, he hurriedly stood up, and took the wine cup with both hands: "Third Uncle Zhang said that he laughed, it should be the little nephew who made amends to Third Uncle Zhang...... In the end, I am afraid that I will scare my aunt......"

Sister Zhang and brother-in-law Zhang are just ordinary ordinary people who witnessed the murder and became ill when they returned home.

I should have been really scared, and I was worried about my son and brother.

Zhang San waved his hand and said, "It's my old sister who is confused and spoils the child too much...... I only got this one in my early thirties, my eyes are like beads, I raise them like a girl, I don't know how important or bad it is to be fifteen or six, what others say and what to believe......" Speaking of this, he paused: "This is what I want to beg Xiao Baoye." In the end, it's my nephew, and I can't lock him up at home for the rest of my life, so I have to let him understand some truth, but my own family really can't do it...... Let him go through the back door, enter the Scout as a pawn, and fight out, it is better than crying and crying like a big girl! ”

Huo Bao couldn't cry or laugh: "Third Uncle Zhang is forcing his little nephew to be a bad guy?" ”

"Little Bao Ye just look at my face and help Lao Zhang!"

"It's not impossible to join the Scouts, it's just that the Scouts have never shown favoritism since their inception, and they have always been 'capable and mediocre', and the little nephew can't guarantee where the elder brother of the Gao family can go!"

"I don't expect him to go any way, he has practiced it, he has the responsibility to make his own ideas, and he is an adult!"

Zhang San's conditions are so low, what else can Huo Bao say?

He drank all the wine in the cup at once, which was considered to be the next Zhang San's request.

Li Qianhu laughed "haha" on the side, pointed at Zhang San and said: "I told you last time, let you send your nephew to the Scout, you said that your nephew is still young, and now it still falls into the hands of Xiao Baoye!" ”

Li Qianhu has no nephew, but he has a younger brother, fifteen this year, he was stuffed in as early as when the boy scout was expanded, and with his own ability, he is already a long man.

"It's me who inks." Zhang San punished himself with a cup and revealed the matter.

Wang Qianhu sat under Zhang and Li, and when he saw the two of them touting Huo Bao, he couldn't help but greet the two elders in his heart.

!

Good brother, you are not kind!

Both of them hooked up with Huo Bao, but left him aside.

But he has no nephew or little brother.

Wang Qianhu cursed in his heart, his eyes swept to Huo Bao and Xiuxiu and couldn't help but be stunned, and then looked at Niu Qing under the foal, and then looked at Huo Bao and Hou Xiaoming under Huo Bao.

These three people, one is Huo Bao's cousin, one is Huo Baotang's nephew, and the other is Huo Bao's henchman.

It's just that the former followed Huo Wu and was not in Quyang in the future; The latter two are fourteen or fifteen, slightly younger, but their temperament and behavior are in the eyes of everyone, and they are all proper people.

Wang Qianhu was overjoyed in his heart, stood up, held the wine cup, and said to Deng Jian, who was in the first place, across Zhang and Li: "Boss, Brother Zhang and Brother Li have something to ask Xiao Baoye, brother, I have something to ask for the boss here!" ”
