Chen Shutai asked Xue Meng to go to Xujiazhuang to secretly investigate Xu Ren's motive for bribery, but unexpectedly made a miraculous achievement. Because Xu Ren refused to implement the rent reduction and fund the construction of a primary school in the village, Chen Shutai was very angry, so Chen Shutai mobilized his tenants to leave him and go to Liaodong to find another way to make a living. Xue Meng found that the few families who came back were afraid to speak when they saw people, especially when they saw the showmen and children in the county, they were even more evasive, which was an extremely unusual thing, because now ordinary people are very willing to deal with them and ask them to help solve some problems. Finally, one day, Xue Meng bumped into a child who went down to the ground to mow the grass alone, and Xue Meng disguised himself as a small trader and chatted with him, thus knowing the secret.

There were many mysterious characters who came and went in Xu Ren's house, which was incredible to the common people at that time, because they couldn't see Xu Ren doing any big business. The child's family was originally persuaded by Chen Shutai to leave Liaodong, but they were threatened halfway through, and some of the people who didn't want to return were killed, because they saw many secrets of the Xu family, and they couldn't tell what the child was.

Xue Meng felt that something was wrong, so he rushed back to Yuncheng County to discuss with Chen Shutai, and decided to lead a messenger to search. Just when they were about to act, a strange guest came to the yamen, and when the guest came in, he named and asked to see Chen Shutai, Chen Shutai didn't care, and saw that the man took out the waist card from his waist, which turned out to be a hundred households under Luo Sigong, a brocade guard. Since these hundred households accepted Luo Sigong's task of secretly looking for Xu Hongru, they stayed in the entire Yuncheng County for half a year, but they did not find any clues of Xu Hongru.

After Chen Shutai and Xue Meng listened to the words of these hundred households, they told Xu Ren about the abnormal things in Xujiazhuang, and the hundred households were overjoyed, and the hundred households told them not to act rashly, and he would personally make a secret visit and make a decision when he came back.

It turns out that this Xu Ren is Xu Hongru, his real name is Xu Yu, living in Xujia Street in Juye County, this guy has not been very responsible since he was young, because of disputes with people, injured the other party and fled, wandered to Luanzhou, where Zhili belongs, where to mix rice and eat, by chance I saw a person named Wang Sen, and joined the Wenxiang Sect under Wang Sen's flickering, this Wang Sen claimed to be the leader of the Wenxiang Sect, and was a branch of the famous White Lotus Sect, the organization of the Wenxiang Sect was very tight, there were large and small heads and heads, making bamboo sticks flying chips, Because of the political gloom at the end of the Ming Dynasty, coupled with the continuous natural disasters, many local people are struggling to make a living, and the incense religion has become the ideological sustenance of many people, and there are believers in Zhili, Henan, Shandong, Shanxi, Shaanxi, and even as far away as Sichuan. After Xu Hongru joined the Wenxiang Sect, he worked very hard, and soon became Wang Sen's close disciple and became a backbone member, Wang Sen sent him to the southeast of Shanxi to preach, and at the same time handed over a part of the collected funds to him for missionary expenses.

In order to facilitate the missionary work and not attract the attention of the government, Xu Hongru moved from Juye County to the current Xujiazhuang, bought a manor and nearby land, and began to preach quietly here, because they took the way of gathering at night and dispersing at dawn, so they did not attract the attention of the government for a long time, but the ordinary people in the vicinity felt mysterious.

But the forest is big and there are all kinds of birds, Wang Sen also has an apprentice named Li Guoyong, this guy is not a fuel-efficient lamp, Wang Sen collected a large amount of silver and delivered it to him to transport back to the tower, but he was greedy for this silver, Wang Sen asked him for silver, this guy set up his own door and did another, which caused a big dispute in the church, and the result was a big split, due to the continuous fighting between the two parties, and finally attracted the attention of the government, Wang Sen was arrested and imprisoned, but this Wang Sen still has a large amount of property, and the family ransomed him, After Wang Sen came out, he began to change his thinking, he should take the high-level route, and he didn't even buy an official before his third son, Wang Haoxian, but in the end he died in prison. After Wang Sen's death, his son Wang Haoxian inherited his mantle and became the head of the sect, and Xu Hongru, a disciple, became the head of the Shandong area, so that the two factions echoed each other.

Wang Sen died in prison, Xu Hongru led the Shandong Wenxiang Sect began to be dissatisfied with the imperial court, with the arrival of the Xiaoice Period, natural disasters continued, coupled with the troubles of the Jurchens in Liaodong, Xu Hongru and Wang Haoxian discussed launching a riot, taking the opportunity to seize Jiangshan, and became an emperor, the two agreed to raise things in August of the second year of the Apocalypse, and the north and south echoed each other, so that the imperial court had no time to look around.

Wang Haoxian and Xu Hongru planned well, but what was unexpected was the inexplicable arrival of Zhu Youxiao. Zhu Youxiao first promoted the planting of new crops, although the first year of the Apocalypse was not very good, but basically the common people were still able to eat half full, especially in the autumn, the high-yield sweet potatoes and potatoes greatly satisfied the people's desire to eat enough, plus the rent reduction, the people were willing to risk killing their heads to rebel. Especially since the beginning of this year, Zhu Youxiao has sent a new style of young officials in Shandong to be closer to the people, whether it is the promotion of new crops or the construction of rural primary schools, which have greatly promoted the recognition of the people to the imperial court. Xu Hongru's plan to gather a crowd to rebel by virtue of the people's dissatisfaction with the imperial court completely failed, and in order to destroy Zhu Youxiao's new way of rule, Xu Hongru took money to bribe the prefect of Jining and asked him to harass Chen Shutai in Yuncheng. The purpose is to form a chain of officials giving and accepting bribes, and second, to let new officials learn to pay and accept bribes, and then harass the common people so that he can win the hearts of the people himself.

Xu Hongru's approach was to lift a stone to shoot himself in the foot, not only did he not achieve his goal, but exposed himself, which aroused Chen Shutai's vigilance, Xue Meng's investigation was Chen Shutai's suspicion was heavier, and the arrival of Jin Yiwei made Xu Hongru's whereabouts clear, after all, Jin Yiwei is a very professional detective.

Chen Shutai and Detective Jinyiwei quickly passed the information to Zhao Yan, the governor of Shandong, and Jinyiwei also sent the news to Luo Sigong who was sitting in the capital by 800 miles of express. Luo Sigong didn't dare to slack off, and immediately entered the palace to inform Zhu Youxiao of the news of the Wenxiang Sect, so when Zhao Yan discussed with the political envoy and Wen Zhenmeng how to round up Xu Hongru, Zhu Youxiao's secret decree arrived.

Zhu Youxiao ordered Zhao Yan to use the power of the knife to kill chickens, quickly and secretly sent troops to round up Xu Hongru, and no one was allowed to slip through the net, especially Xu Hongru, the head of the meeting, who must be caught and sent to the capital for trial.

Zhao Yan did not dare to be negligent when he received the holy decree, and continued to secretly send secret agents and official and military operations one after another, and thoroughly mastered the law of Xu Hongru summoning the backbone of the sect to preach. On the night of the first day of the fourth month of the second year of the Apocalypse, more than 5,000 officers and soldiers, under the leadership of Zhao Yan, quietly surrounded Xujiazhuang, and then the officers and soldiers quickly rushed into the village, and wiped out the backbone of Xu Hongru and Wenxiang Sect who were unprepared, and all the stolen goods were captured. Next, he uprooted the forces of the Wenxiang Sect in the entire Shandong and completely destroyed the foundation of the Wenxiang Sect.
