Chapter 575: Luring the Snake Out of the Hole

Looking forward to the stars and the moon, I finally looked forward to those evil stars!

When the people of Lijin County learned that Jinyiwei was finally leaving the county, they all secretly celebrated in their homes. God knows how they have survived these few days, and they are really frightened and tormented every day, for fear that when a wolf-like brocade guard will rush into the house and take him or his family away on some charge. It is not an exaggeration to say that life is like a year.

And now, the Jinyi guards were finally leaving, and after looting a lot of money from all the rich people in the city, and taking away a few unlucky and poor so-called murderers, they finally left Lijin contentedly. Especially when the people watched from the crack in the door of their yard as those guys escorted people out of the city with several loaded carts, they finally breathed a long sigh of relief.

In this way, the days finally returned to the original, and became calm and tranquil again, and the only thing to worry about was that the Yellow River, which was still rising inch by inch, was afraid that it would suddenly overflow the embankment and not enter the city. However, the people who live here all year round have long been accustomed to such threats, and I believe that the government will always be able to deal with them.

The county government did not disappoint them, and the day after Jinyiwei left, they requisitioned the people to raise and strengthen the river embankment, so that the water situation eased a little. And according to some astronomical knowledge, the rain that has lasted for almost a month is almost stopping. Therefore, as long as he survives this most difficult day, Lijin will be completely calm again.

Naturally, the people want to get back to the way they were, but some people don't want that to happen.

In a house somewhere in the county seat, a man was staring at the two men in front of him fiercely: "Just because of your reckless behavior, the overall plan of my Holy Sect has to be delayed, and it seems that this rain is about to stop. You say, "If we fail our plans because of this, what is your responsibility?" ”

The two men lowered their heads and listened to the lesson, their faces full of shame: "We were careless for a while, and we actually let the eagle dog of the brocade guard see through our identity...... It was out of desperation that we killed him with a knife. I thought that the water potential of the Yellow River is extremely strong now, and there will be nothing wrong with sinking people into the river, who knows......"

"Who knew that not only was the person discovered, but also the Jinyi Guard was recruited, and he searched the county for a while. If it weren't for the blessing of the childless mother, these brocade guards would all be rice buckets and only know how to scavenge the land, I'm afraid we would all have to plant on top of this accident! The man glared at them viciously: "The mistakes you have made are too great, I will explain everything to Lord Xue Xiang and the young master, and how to send you down at that time depends on your creation." ”

"Yes!" These two people who made big mistakes can only bow their heads and admit their mistakes.

Yes, the black hand behind all this is the White Lotus Sect, which has been hidden among the people and has given the Ming court and government a headache. As a folk cult with a history of several hundred years, the White Lotus Sect has its own set of clever methods to recruit ordinary people as its members and use them for its own use. After these people join the Church, it is easy for them to brainwash and control them, and they are willing to do anything for the Holy Religion that is unconscionable.

And this time, their purpose is to dig up the embankment of the Yellow River here in Lijin County, so as to lead it into the city and cause chaos. They thought everything was going well, but at a critical moment, they were seen through by You Wu, the suddenly arrived Jinyi guard.

So in order to keep this secret and make the plan carry out, the two took the risk of attacking Yugo at night, killing him and sinking him into the river. But people are not as good as heaven, and in the end, You Wu's body still floated up, which caused everything before.

When the Jinyi Guard's men were hunting down the so-called suspects in the vicinity, several White Lotus Sect members in this house were really nervous to death. But as a result, they were spared. It's just that there is still a serious problem in front of them at the moment, because of the existence of Jinyiwei, they dare not act rashly, and the original plan to dig the river embankment has been delayed.

"Brother Wu, we are willing to atone for our sins, and take advantage of the fact that the rain has not stopped and the river continues to rise before digging the embankment!" One of them was silent for a long time before finally speaking.

"Chen Wuba, are you really planning to do so?" Brother Wu asked with a flash of essence in his eyes.

"Of course, since this is a key step for my Holy Sect to unify the world, it must not be defeated in my hands, otherwise my sin will be too great." Chen Wuba puffed up his chest and said.

Another person also chimed in: "Me too, Brother Wu, how about we dig the embankment tonight at night?" ”

Brother Wu's face hesitated for a while, and finally nodded: "Since you have this idea, then I can give it a try with you." If the childless mother blesses us, then this plan can still be implemented. And, judging from the current situation, such a fuss may have unexpected benefits for us. ”

"What does that mean?" Chen Wuba asked puzzled.

"Now the people in the county town are uneasy because of the evil deeds of the brocade-clothed eagle dog. This is giving me a chance for the Holy Religion. As long as the water is really released to irrigate the city, and everyone is in danger, we can instigate them from the side, and naturally let them rise up, thus dragging the whole of Shandong into chaos! When Brother Wu, who knew some of the inside information, said this, his eyes flashed with excitement, as if everything had unfolded according to his wishes.

Although the two men were a little confused, they still understood one thing, that is, as long as they could dig the embankment, the great plan of the Holy Sect could be accomplished. This realization lifted their spirits again, and their minds were full of how to act, but they completely forgot how much disaster it would bring to the local people if the embankment was destroyed.

Night, deep; Rain, still. The sky seemed to be covered with thick ink, but it was only a piece of black pressure, and in the small county town where there were no street lights, it was almost impossible to see the situation outside of Zhang Xu.

This is a good weather for the dark. And Chen Wuba and a few of them, naturally they would not let go of such a day, just after the second watch, they had quietly touched the embankment located in the southwest of the county.

Because they had been in and out of the city in the name of building the embankment, they had known the surrounding road conditions, and they were well aware of the weaknesses of the embankment, so even though it was too dark to reach out tonight, it could not affect their actions.

After rounding a mound in front of them, three saboteurs with hoes and shovels arrived at the embankment in the county seat. That's right, that's their goal, because only a single loss of the riverbank here can cause the entire county to be completely flooded.

The three of them quickly climbed the embankment that was not very high, and in front of them was the earthen embankment that many people in the city had spent countless hours and efforts to build. Although the dam looks simple, it is strong enough to withstand the roaring waters of the Yellow River and keep the peace of the party.

When Brother Wu looked at the embankment in front of him, he trembled unconsciously. He knew that once he made a move, everything would be irreparable. There will inevitably be many people whose families will be ruined by this decision.

However, thinking of the lofty goals of the Holy Sect and the legendary Elysium, he quickly banished this strange thought from his mind. As the saying goes, if you don't break it, some people's sacrifices can be exchanged for more people's happiness, then their sacrifices are valuable, and all this you do is also a good thing!

After giving himself such a recognition, he didn't hesitate anymore and nodded to the two people around him: "Let's start!" After saying that, he raised the hoe in his hand high, and then smashed it on the earthen dam with a thud.

The other two did not hesitate, and followed his movements and violently swung the shovel in their hands to hit the dam, and at the same time as there was a bang, a lot of debris broke out.

The three of them knew that the dam was quite strong, so they all worked hard to keep splitting and digging, vowing to dig a hole in a short time. For a while, the sound of banging and hey on the dam kept sounding, and if it weren't for the fact that it was far away from the dwellings and covered by the sound of rain, it would have been heard a long time ago.

With the unremitting efforts of the three people, the dam finally slowly broke, and a hole began to appear on the complete dam body.

The embankment of thousands of miles collapsed in the anthill, and as long as it could attract a stream of water to enter, the embankment that guarded the entire county would be completely destroyed. At this moment, the three of them seemed to be able to see the scene of the flood pouring in and the turbid waves.

But just as their faces were full of excitement and they were shouting about to come up a few more times, several strong winds blew up from below, and several angry shouts rang out: "Dare to destroy the embankment boldly!" ”

This sudden angry shout surprised the three people who were working hard, and the expressions of the three of them also changed greatly, and their hearts were full of doubts: How could anyone find out our whereabouts?

And just when they were stunned, several big men had already slaughtered with all their might, waving the weapons in their hands, and stabbing straight at their hands and feet and other non-lethal places.

The three of them came to their senses at this time, and quickly waved the hoe in their hands to block the frame. Although these three people all have a fairly good martial arts, the desperate digging just now has consumed a lot of their physical strength, and the number of the other party is more than ten times that of them. Although he tried his best to resist, he was soon hit in the hands and feet, screaming and falling to the ground.

Then the sudden slaughter of the crowd quickly pounced, crushing them to the ground, not giving them any chance to escape.

It was only at this time that a few torches were lit, and then the three of them were surprised to see the scene in front of them - these people who suddenly killed and captured themselves were actually the Jinyi guards who they thought had left the county a long time ago!
