After the men with umbrellas entered the courtyard, they did not look at the surrounding environment, but walked straight to the lobby of the small courtyard. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

And on the main seat of the lobby sat a big man with a national character face wearing a cloth shirt, and at his bottom sat a middle-aged Confucian dressed in a bookkeeper, as for the owner of this courtyard, he was wearing a brocade robe, and stood behind the middle-aged man with a low eyebrows, of course, in addition to him, there were four men in strong clothes standing in this room.

But no one felt wrong about this strange scene, not even the men with umbrellas who came in from outside.

Because as soon as they entered the door, they bowed to the man sitting in the main seat and said, "I'll wait to see Protector Liu." ”

Yes, this man is Liu Futong, but compared with a month ago, the current Liu Futong is more majestic, especially those eyes, there is a domineering spirit that the world is under its control, and with the temperament on his body, even if he is wearing a subordinate cloth, it makes people dare not look at it directly.

Seeing that these people were so respectful to him, Liu Futong's face couldn't help but show a smile, and then he smiled and saluted the people in the hall: "You have worked hard all the way, sit down." ”

When everyone in the hall heard Liu Futong's words, they bowed to Du Zundao who was sitting on the other side, and Du Zundao also got up and returned the salute.

If Zhang Shihua was also there now, he would definitely be surprised, because a man in a Confucian robe sitting in the hall was "Xu Ming" from Xucheng Town. However, when he was with Zhang Shihua, Xu Ming's expression was now a little less free and confident, and a little more respectful and fearful.

And the other people around him also looked similar to him, obviously Liu Futong had now completely controlled the situation of the White Lotus Remnant Sect.

When everyone was seated, Liu Futong coughed lightly, and then said to the people sitting in the hall: "All the hall masters, you must also know that the Tartar court is going to tax again." Although it was a question, Liu Futong didn't wait for the people in the hall to reply, and said again: "This group of dog Tartars, not to mention my Han people's country, and they are tyrannical and cruel to my Han family. At first, my Holy Sect couldn't bear to let the people of the world be poisoned by Tartar tea again, so King Ming led my Holy Sect to rebel at the beginning of the month and raise the banner of righteousness, wanting to overthrow the tyrannical government of Yuan and Mongolia in one fell swoop. At that time, the king of Ming raised his arms and shouted, the world responded, the heroes all looked north, followed the king of Ming, with 100,000, only half a day under the command of the king of Ming gathered 3,000 athletes. ”

When Liu Futong said this, he seemed so impassioned, except for Du Zundao, who knew that he really wanted to at that time, his expression had not changed, and everyone else showed a fanatical expression on their faces.

However, Liu Futong didn't care about the expressions of the people in the hall, and after saying these impassioned words, Liu Futong showed a sad expression on his face and continued: "The great cause was about to succeed, but because of the betrayal of the traitors of the sect, the great cause of my holy religion fell short, and even the king of Ming was martyred. At that time, this Dharma Protector wanted to follow King Ming to death, but the great cause of my Holy Sect has not yet been accomplished, so how can I die as soon as I die. So I led the army to fight desperately out of the encirclement, and survived to this day, just to fulfill the last wish of King Ming, lead the tiger Ben, and reach the land of Youyan; Drive the Tartars and reopen the sky of the Emperor and Song Dynasty. ”

After listening to Liu Futong's "sincere" words, everyone in the hall was "moved", and Du Zundao said to Liu Fudao with red eyes: "Liu Protector is dedicated to my holy religion, which is really admirable." Then he raised his hand and swore to the sky: "I obey the Tao and swear to the sky, in this life and this life, I should not stand with the Yuanmeng court, and I will swear to complete the last wish of King Ming. ”

Seeing him like this, several other hall masters in the hall also made an oath in unison.

They don't know how the Ming King Han Shantong was defeated and died, let alone whether he has such a last wish, but they know how terrible this Liu Protector is, because those who don't know are all dead now.

After the hall masters finished swearing, Liu Futong couldn't help but smile, and then said to them with a smile; "Well, with righteous people like you who are dedicated to the public and loyal to my religion, I believe that we will be able to fulfill the last wish of the sect leader."

Then he waved his hand to let the people in the hall who had risen up and sworn to sit down, cleared his throat and said to everyone in the hall: "Although the uprising of my Holy Sect failed at the beginning of the month, it is a fact that the Tartar Imperial Court has run out, and this Dharma Protector and Du Hall Master have decided that at the beginning of next month, this Dharma Protector will lead all the backbone of our Holy Sect to revolt again. This time the Dharma Protector is fully prepared, and this uprising will be successful. But don't you know what your different opinions are? ”

Several other hall masters in the hall looked at Liu Futong's cold gaze, and with a chill behind them, they all replied in unison: "I will wait but rely on the orders of the Dharma Protector." ”

There is no reason why they will not agree, because those who do not agree are long dead.

I have to say that the White Lotus Sect's heritage is still very deep, although the White Lotus Sect leader Han Shantong died, but it was only the He Northern White Lotus Sect that was severely hit, and the He South White Lotus Sect actually did not suffer much loss.

If you add the subordinates of the hall masters, there are more than 3,000 White Lotus backbones under his Liu Futong's control, these more than 3,000 people are not a rabble, and the most important Liu Futong is not Han Shantong.

And the world is too chaotic now, although it has only been less than a month since the failure of the last uprising, but the degree of chaos is far more serious than a month ago, especially in areas like Yingzhou, where people are no longer afraid to go out in the middle of the night, because there are robbers and displaced people everywhere.

Therefore, it would not arouse much suspicion to gather the backbone believers of the White Lotus Sect at various times and let them disguise themselves as caravans and homeless people, and more importantly, who would have thought that the White Lotus Sect, which had already failed in its uprising, would revolt again a month later.

After seeing those hall masters leave in the rain, Liu Futong stood under the eaves in front of the lobby, looking at the sky full of dark clouds with his hands, a fine light flashed in his eyes from time to time, but he didn't know what he was thinking.

On the second day, the rain finally stopped, but the sky was still gloomy, and although it had been spring for a long time, there was still a biting chill when a gust of wind blew.

In addition, the roads in the countryside are now dirt roads, and when it rains, it is simply muddy and impossible to walk, so in the countryside, people generally stay at home in this kind of weather and rarely go out, but as we said before, there are always exceptions.

For example, today, in Yangshui Town, where Zhang Shihua used to do inspections, there were two men on the road north of the town.

This road is very difficult to walk, these two men walked on the road, in order to save effort, even took off the shoes on their feet, and pulled up their bottoms, but even so, these two men walked to a particularly muddy place, and still needed to rely on the wooden stick in their hands to maintain the balance of their bodies.

Because only these two men are on the road on the whole road, it seems that these two men are a little strange, if Zhang Shihua is still doing inspections in this town, then the archers patrolling the inspection department will definitely interrogate these two people carefully.

But Zhang Shihua is no longer the inspector of the Inspection Division, and the archers in the Inspection Division have also left with Zhang Shihua, so no one in Yangshui Town has noticed them, and it is estimated that even if they do, the people in the town will not care, so these two men entered the town very easily.

After entering the town, one of the two strangers took out a piece of paper from his bosom, which seemed to be a map, and the older man, looking at the paper, took it in his bosom again.

Then the older man continued to walk towards the town with another man, and the direction they went to was Li Ran's house in Yangshui Town.

When they arrived at Li Ran's house, the two men circled around the largest courtyard in the town, made some marks and left.

From beginning to end, these two men have always kept quiet, plus their movements are fast, and they have not been in the town for a long time, so no one in the entire Yangshui Town has noticed these two men who are acting strangely.

Another day passed, on the first day of the fifth month, and the dark clouds in the sky finally dispersed.

If we look at it from the perspective of future generations, today's temperature is suitable, and there are blue skies and white clouds, which is definitely a rare good weather.

However, the county Yin Feng Fule was not in the mood to enjoy the weather at all, because most of the officials in charge of tax collection in the county today were sick, including Zhang Liewen, the head of the household, and he Feng Fule knew very well why these people were sick, after all, as long as they had some conscience, they would not be willing to take on this tax collection work.

Although these servants are greedy, they are not greedy enough to force their villagers to death for a few small bucks, and as for the powerful families like the Zhang family, they cherish their feathers even more, and they naturally want to hide far away in this matter, after all, they don't want to be scolded by their own villagers as soon as they go out.

Besides, the people in Yingzhou have never been bullied. Since the establishment of the Great Yuan Dynasty, the common people in Yingzhou have not rebelled, like Deng Chongqi, it will happen every year, and they are really hated by this group of mud-legged people, it is really a troublesome thing, after all, "barefoot people are not afraid of wearing shoes." ”

So on this issue, the county's strong intentions are surprisingly unanimous, and even the Li family, who want to come and deal with the Zhang family, can hide in the matter of taxation, and pretend to be confused if they can't hide, after all, in this matter, they can hide behind and make a fortune, and the fool will stand in front of the infamy of the villagers in the county.

So no matter what Feng Fule says in the past two days, for this group of old fritters, it is also a deaf master who talks about Buddhism - there is no use for fart.

They're not stupid, they all have a score in their hearts. In their minds, you Feng Fule is the county Yin, you are a foreigner, so you naturally don't have to worry about this, after all, as long as your term of office is up, you will pat your ass and leave, but our ancestors have to live here, if you offend the villagers because of this matter, then we don't want to continue to stay here.

That's why the fool helped you.

But there are two sides to everything, although most of the errand soldiers are "sick" this time, but there are still a small number of people left, although the remaining group of guys is not a good thing, but it is better than no one is available, no, in the temporary recruitment of a group of ruffians or something, let them temporarily make up the number of this matter will be dealt with.

Anyway, no one used it before, and the county government used this method.

An hour later, Feng Fule looked through the window at the group of chaotic temporary workers in the county government compound, the disgust on his face was completely undisguised, and that disgust was definitely from his bones, so that Feng Fule was reluctant to take a second look after taking one look, so he turned to the master Liu Hua behind him and said: "Master Liu, arrange them quickly, and then let them go, this county government is about to become a vegetable market." After saying this, Feng Fule left without looking back.

And the master Liu Hua, looking at the chaotic crowd outside, also sighed in disgust, but who made him the master, so he still obeyed the order and went out to arrange affairs for the group of temporary workers outside.
