Chapter 50: The Chicken Delivered to the Door
"Don't move!" Hou Xiaoming shouted.
It turned out that the Confucian students at the door, after listening to Huo Bao's words, wanted to run to the county office, but were directly stopped.
Deng Wenwen looked at Huo Bao, but instead of the panic and nervousness of being revealed, he showed a bit of righteousness: "I prepared it, and I also asked someone to dig it up!" I was originally a disciple of the Buddha and a member of the Buddha army! ”
"The Buddha quit killing, and the Buddha asked you to burn down the county barracks? There are ordinary people all around, shouldn't they be protected by the Buddha? Huo Bao's heart was on fire.
"The order in the world has been chaotic, the hearts of the people are covered with dust, Maitreya was born, the king of Ming was born, the Buddhist army will sweep away the dirt of the world, rebuild the world of harmony, and those who block it are all demons and evil parties, and they should be wrathed by the king of Ming!" The more Deng Wenwen spoke, the more confident he became, and his face showed fanaticism.
The few trembling Confucian students who were at the entrance of the county government before seemed to be encouraged, and sat down cross-legged directly, looking at their noses and noses, and began to chant scriptures in their mouths.
When the scouts looked at it, they only felt that it was like singing a big play, and it was lively.
Huo Bao saw it and didn't think it was ridiculous.
This "evil party" is the name of the government and orthodox Buddhism for Maitreya disciples, but I didn't expect Maitreya to brainwash his disciples, and he still uses this word.
Nowadays, the wisdom of the people is not open, and the teachings of Maitreya are simple, simple to practice, and easy to spread among the people; But these people in front of them are not ordinary people, but scholars.
The son is silent, the strange power is chaotic, and the Confucian disciples cultivate the right path of the gentleman, and stay away from the ghosts and gods.
Even the scholars respected the Maitreya religion and secretly voted for the white-shirted army, which shows that the Maitreya religion is already a prairie fire in the local area and is unstoppable.
"You are the evil party, you are the evil demon who has lost your conscience!"
Xiuxiu couldn't help it, she had already rushed forward and gave Deng Wenwen a kick: "When the white-shirted army came in, what happened to the county, others don't know, and you people who are on errands in the yamen don't know?" Those who rob the house, bully the eldest daughter, the little daughter-in-law, the cats, cats, and dogs raised at home have been caught and eaten meat, where are they whiteshirts, they are robbers who risk the whiteshirts to do evil in the name of evil! My father drove away the robbers and protected the people, and you don't know how to be grateful, and you want to harm him, are you human or not? ”
"If Deng Jian was really for the people, he should have joined the Buddhist army, helped the Buddhist army contact the gentry, and stabilized the county; But he relied on his bravery, went against the grain, expelled the Buddhist army, seized Quyang, recruited troops, and was willing to be an eagle dog of the court, which was destined to have no good end! Deng Wenwen was full of words.
Xiuxiu was already worried about her father's expedition, but when she heard this, she was even more annoyed and kicked Deng Wenwen a few times.
Deng Wenshu does not avoid or dodge, and he looks like he doesn't care about juniors, which makes people angry.
There was such a big commotion at the entrance of the county government, and many people probed their brains to watch the excitement and point their fingers.
"What's going on? What kind of demon is it about? ”
"The county lieutenant is going to arrest someone? Who is so bold and fat that they dare to provoke him? ”
"The leader is not a county lieutenant, he is a small ya, and the followers are all half-sized!"
"Isn't the county lieutenant's brother-in-law in charge? Is this the nest reversed? ”
When another two hundred scouts trotted over, the people who watched the excitement all turned out their voices, hid their annoyance, and peeked from afar.
"Maitreya believers practice the five precepts, do not kill, do not steal, do not commit adultery, do not lie, do not drink, whether they are true believers or false believers, you will know at a check, check!" Huo Bao looked around and said loudly.
Deng Wenwen still wanted to refute, but Hou Xiaoming was already waiting by the side and gagged directly.
Huo Bao got the news, hurried over, took over the three hundred boy soldiers, and continued to surround the county government.
Hou Xiaoming took a hundred people and followed Huo Bao and Hou Xiaoming into the county office.
In the hall of the county government, there are not mirrors hanging high, but three clay statues of Buddha, which are dedicated to Maitreya Buddha, Guanyin, and Rulai Buddha.
In front of the Buddha statue, there are flowers and fruits.
Such an offering is obviously not a day's work.
In addition to the six clerks and officials, there are many other people in the county office.
Some are similar to Deng Wenwen, their clothes are divided inside and outside, and they do not wear white shirts directly; There were a few pious, fearless and fearless looks, who wore white shirts directly, and did not mean to hide them.
Twenty-eight people in total.
Huo Bao did not rush to interrogate, but continued to wait.
After a while, someone came from the backyard of the county government, it was none other than Zhu Qiang and others, who were holding down eight people who were tied up with flowers.
These people just wanted to escape through the county tunnel, but they didn't know that the boy soldiers discovered the tunnel first, and they happened to "wait for the rabbit" and were caught.
The previous twenty-eight, plus these eight, is already thirty-six.
Compared with these fearless believers in the county government, these caught in the tunnel are cringinge, and they all hang their heads, eager to cover their faces tightly.
There are not a few short cloth clothes, they are all wearing long robes and ayaluo, similar to Deng Wenwen, one side is blue, one side is white, and the other is white, which is convenient for dressing on both sides.
Huo Bao is not a local, and he looks at everyone with eyes, but looking at the reactions of these people, he is obviously afraid that people will recognize him.
Huo Bao looked at Xiuxiu.
Xiuxiu had already stepped forward, was looking at those people carefully, and recognized one person: "This person is the nephew of Uncle Zhang, who runs a cloth village at home!" ”
When Huo Bao heard this, he immediately couldn't sit still and walked over: "Really? Right? ”
"He's called a tether, there's a tethered stake behind his ear, it's not wrong!" Xiuxiu pointed to the man's ear, which was a hitched horse stake the size of a mung bean.
The two of them looked at each other, and their hearts lifted.
Zhang, Li, Wang, and Zhao are Deng Jian's subordinates, especially this Zhang San, who holds 2,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, which can be regarded as arms.
Before, they found that the auxiliary soldiers were restless, and the two suspected Zhao Qianhu, the person in charge of the auxiliary soldiers, but they didn't expect that Zhao Qianhu didn't find out on his side, and there was a nephew with Zhang San here.
"Giggle...... "The boy was more and more frightened, his teeth chattered, and he almost fainted.
"Cousin, send a letter to my father!" Xiuxiu said busily.
"Well, you can't hide it from your cousin!"
Regardless of whether Zhang San is innocent or not, the only one who can investigate this matter is Deng Jian.
The kid rolled his eyes, and finally fainted.
Everyone waited for Huo Bao's order.
Even the thirty-five people who didn't faint also paid attention to Huo Bao's reaction.
Is it a trial, is it a punishment?
"It's all gagged, press it down!" Huo Bao pointed to those righteous and awe-inspiring disciples and commanded.
Dozens of scouts came out in response, and one by one they dragged down like dead dogs.
"Evil party!"
"Woo ......"
Huo Bao picked the corners of his mouth, he was not a "sweet party" or a "salty party" in his last life, but he has become an "evil party" in this life?
Hey! It's amazing!
The people who were about to flee became more and more quail-like, trembling and trembling, and longing to spread themselves on the ground.
Huo Bao glanced at it: "Pull it down too!" ”
Another scout stepped forward and pulled some of them down.
"This solitary detention, look at it, don't let him die!" Huo Bao pointed to the tether on the ground and commanded.
Hou Xiaoming called a team out of the queue and dragged it down.
Everyone looked at Huo Bao, and no one questioned why he didn't interrogate or investigate.
How to judge? How to check?
The third apprentice is a white-shirted army, Deng Jian has formed an alliance with the apprentice third-master, and has not publicly raised the anti-flag, but this riverside is a dozen, and it is not reversed, and it can be regarded as a white-shirted army.
Who would have thought that there was still such a group of believers buried in Quyang County, this is 'the big water washed the Dragon King Temple'?
But knowing that these people harbor evil intentions, is it just a matter?
Huo Bao thought for a while and said: "The whole city posted a notice, Deng Wenwen and other thirty-six people pretended to be in the name of the Buddha, gathered people in the county government to drink and eat **, violated the five precepts of the Buddha, and were suspected of being evil parties and pretending to be Buddhist disciples. Those who can provide evidence from the common people will be rewarded with a bucket of grain and five taels of silver. From now on, the pickets in the city of Quyang White Shirts, pickets the whole county, and distinguish between true and false believers! ”
Xiuxiu's eyes lit up, and she showed embarrassment: "Then tie it?" Do you want to omit his name first, and wait for Uncle Zhang to check it out? ”
"The prince breaks the law, and he is guilty of the same crime as the people!"
Because of Deng Jian, those thousands and hundreds of households from the government servants, Huo Bao will not move, which is called "beating the dog to see the master".
But the families and children of these people are fine.
If they are all tied, then they can only survive in Quyang in the future.
The "chickens" sent to the door are not slaughtered in vain!
