783 [Murder and Heart]
The Mayor's Residence.
Li Hongkun paced back and forth with his hands in his trouser pockets, and said as he walked: "It is not difficult to kill Liu Congyun, and a gunman can solve it." The reason why Fu Gong (Liu Xiang) did not do it was only because of the problem of face, but because he was afraid of more serious consequences. If Liu Congyun dies unexpectedly, first, he has more than 100,000 believers in Sichuan, will these believers gather to plot chaos? Second, the warlords of Sichuan, big and small, are all his disciples, will those warlords take the opportunity to make trouble? ”
After Li Hongkun said, Zhou Hexuan finally understood why Liu Xiang's methods of dealing with Liu Congyun were so gentle.
It was too simple to kill Liu Congyun, but the consequences were unpredictable. Those warlords and believers who are ready to make a move, may not really support Liu Congyun, but they can use Liu Congyun's death to their own benefit. The time for the reunification of Sichuan is not long, and with Liu Wenhui eyeing him in Xikang, and there are still concerns about the old Jiang Central Committee outside, Liu Xiang really didn't dare to order Liu Congyun to be killed easily.
Zhou Hexuan thought for a while and said: "Therefore, when we deal with Liu Congyun this time, we can't directly send soldiers or gunmen to act, we must have an upright reason." First expose Liu Congyun's fake immortal face, and then count the sins he has made over the years, and completely kill him from the legal and moral level! ”
Li Hongkun nodded and said: "That's right, not only to kill, but also to punish the heart!" ”
"I also think it's more appropriate," Li Gengu interjected, "and now many people in Chongqing believe in Liu Congyun's eschatology." If Liu Congyun died inexplicably, those believers would definitely fall into a panic and even gather to attack the government and the army. ”
"Mr. Zhou, do you have any good plans?" Li Hongkun asked.
Zhou Hexuan thought carefully: "I haven't come up with a specific method yet, but the general plan is already there." First, secretly collect evidence of Liu Congyun's crimes, and it is best to find some victims. Second, closely monitor Liu Congyun's movements and look for suitable opportunities to start. Third, set a trap to kill Luo Zezhou, Luo Zezhou was the first to respond to the eschatology, and openly claimed that he had donated millions of oceans and obtained the life protection charm given by the gods. As long as Luo Zezhou is killed, Liu Congyun's arm can be cut off, and Liu Congyun's prestige among believers can be shaken. Fourth, after killing Luo Zezhou, he instigated those big households who sincerely surrendered to the water, and at the same time widely publicized that the common people had been deceived, destroying Liu Congyun's foundation of believers. Fifth, invite a highly respected monk or Taoist priest to openly invite Liu Congyun to fight the Fa and defeat him where Liu Congyun is best at! As long as this series of steps is completed, Liu Congyun will be the turtle in the urn, let us handle it. ”
Li Hongkun and Li Gengu glanced at each other, and both laughed.
Li Gengu said: "Don't invite any high-ranking monks, just Mr. Zhou personally went out, you also have a great name in Chongqing." ”
Zhou Hexuan shook his head and said, "If I come to the war book, Liu Congyun will definitely not fight." Moreover, everyone is crazy that I am Liu Congyun's uncle, even if Liu Congyun loses the fighting method, the immortal loses to the immortal, and the nephew loses to the uncle, there is no loss to his prestige. ”
"Then it's just like this," Li Hongkun came up with an idea, "Mr. Zhou came out to refute the rumors, accusing Liu Congyun of talking nonsense, and the eschatology is all fake." The city government is responsible for helping you publicize and launch a public opinion war from the front, so you don't believe him Liu Congyun should not fight! ”
Zhou Hexuan said funny: "Mayor Li, are you sure that at the level of religious propaganda, government personnel are comparable to professional gods?" ”
Li Hongkun said: "If only government officials come forward, things will definitely not be easy, but there is still Mr. Zhou's prestige." You won a big victory with Liu Congyun a few years ago, and it has long been spread all over Chongqing, and now you are buying grain for disaster relief, and all walks of life are very convinced by you. You stand up and expose Liu Congyun's ghost tricks, many people are willing to believe it. ”
"Mayor Li is right," Li Gengu persuaded, "Mr. Zhou is the most suitable person to deal with Liu Congyun." ”
Zhou Hexuan nodded with a wry smile, he accepted the task, he said: "Propaganda can be done in two steps. On the one hand, they relied on newspapers and magazines to explain the drought from a scientific point of view and persuade the people not to be superstitious. On the other hand, they used rumors to break the rumors, and hired three religions and nine streams to spread the news in the market, saying that the reason for the severe drought in Sichuan was because there were demons who did not respect the heavens and lied that they were immortals. This demon path caused chaos among the people and poisoned the living beings, and the Jade Emperor finally lowered his anger and caused the whole of Sichuan to suffer. ”
For the next two hours, the trio made a detailed plan and then began to split up.
It is too simple to collect evidence of Liu Congyun's crimes, but it is difficult to find the victims, and it is really difficult to find people in these years. Fortunately, in order to deal with Kang Ze sent by Lao Jiang, Liu Xiang created a very clumsy local spy system, and he could ask those Sichuan spies for help in this matter.
Immediately, Chongqing's major newspapers began to publish meteorological science articles. It's just that although these popular science contents are correct, it is difficult to capture people's hearts, let alone arouse the interest of people in all walks of life.
On the contrary, the rumors in the market are more effective, and after word of mouth, the news that Zhou Hexuan spread soon became varied, and even ridiculous.
At present, the superstitious rumors about the drought in Chongqing can be roughly divided into the following types:
First, Liu Shenxian's eschatology.
Second, the demon road usurped the power of the gods, attracting the curse of heaven, and the people of Sichuan suffered.
Third, the warlords have brought disaster to the country, and God is angry.
Fourth, the Japanese brazenly invaded and damaged the foundation of China, and the ancestors and ancestors blamed their descendants.
Even the people sent by Lao Chiang were implicated, and the Chongqing Party Department of the Kuomintang erected a flagpole in the courtyard for the purpose of hoisting the national flag to cultivate the patriotic feelings of the masses, and to put it bluntly, to increase the prestige of the central government in Sichuan.
As a result, the folk spread that the "flagpole" is "Qigan", and this flagpole belongs to the culprit of the great drought in Sichuan. Ordinary people angrily stormed the party compound, not only cutting down the flagpole, but also destroying the office of the Kuomintang branch office.
Every day, countless foolish people who are unwilling to donate money and are afraid of the end of the world come to the Zhou Mansion in groups to ask for life charms. Zhou Hexuan was really annoyed, and wanted to take the opportunity to extinguish Liu Congyun's prestige, so he simply found a printing house to print 100,000 "spirit talismans" in batches, and set up eight booths in Chongqing City to distribute them for free.
The news of Zhou Shenxian's centralized distribution of life-preserving talismans quickly spread throughout the city, and people flocked to collect them, including some government officials and local wealthy gentry.
People are greedy and cheap, and with free life protection charms to receive, fools are willing to contribute money and money to join Confucius and Mencius. Zhou Hexuan printed and distributed spiritual runes in batches, which seriously interfered with the local religious market and caused Liu Congyun's wealth-making business to plummet.
It's ridiculous to say, Zhou Hexuan discussed with Li Hongkun and Li Gengu so many ways to attack Liu Congyun, but they were not as effective as distributing spirit runes for free......
