Sun Yueling's heart was pounding, he didn't expect Xu Chengming's ambition to be so big, and he actually wanted to assassinate the court officials, which was simply madness. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Moreover, if Xu Chengming really rebelled and contacted the extravagant Chongming rebels in Yongning, then one of them was in the front and the other was in the rear, and under the combined efforts of the inside and outside, the whole SC would definitely be crumbling.

"Do you know who they were going to do? Also, when are they going to start a rebellion? ”

Zou Ruoyu sighed and said: "This subordinate is not clear, the subordinate official, the secret agent lurking in the White Lotus Sect, is only a peripheral personnel, not the core backbone, so the specific target of the assassination and the agreed date of the rebellion, the subordinate is difficult to know." ”

Sun Yueling said: "What else do you know?" ”

Zou Ruoyu said: "This spy of the lower official also said that Xu Chengming plans to convene all the core figures of the Southwest Branch of the White Lotus Sect to hold the White Lotus Holy Meeting in the near future to discuss the specific matters of raising troops. ”

Sun Yueling hurriedly asked, "Where and when will this so-called White Lotus Holy Gathering be held?" ”

Zou Ruoyu continued: "This is not clear, all the known information has been reported to the adults, and the rest of the things are not yet grasped by us. ”

Sun Yueling pondered, thought for a long time, and said, "You say, will this White Lotus Holy Meeting be held in Chengdu Mansion?" Xu Chengming, will he still be lurking in Chengdu City? ”

Zou Ruoyu's face was grim, and he nodded: "Very likely." Although Xu Chengming is cunning, he is also extremely conceited, from the fact that he dares to create a bloody case under our noses, we know that this person is bold, with my understanding of him, he will hold this White Lotus Holy Meeting in Chengdu Mansion nine times out of ten. After a pause, he sighed, "It's a pity that there are many people in Chengdu City, Han Yi is miscellaneous, and there are mobile people in various state capitals, so it is really not easy to find out this group of demons hidden in the vast sea of people." ”

How could Sun Yueling not know the difficulties in this, the reason why the White Lotus Sect has been able to lurk among the people for a long time without being completely eradicated has its own uniqueness. Among these demons, many of them are some peddlers, pawns, and frustrated scholars, so they have deep roots in the people, and they are not as easy to exterminate as other forces. Moreover, the White Lotus Sect has also formed a family-like monopoly, holding some power and resources in its hands, so it is not as easy to deal with as imagined.

For example, the SD branch of the White Lotus Sect smelled the incense, and opened a lot of Qinglou tea shops and workshops in Nanjing and BJ back then, and the Ming court was tossed enough by it, how many manpower was exhausted, and how many soldiers and horses were concentrated before it was completely extinguished.

Sun Yueling knew that the real White Lotus Sect in history was not as beautiful as they advertised, saying that everyone in the world is equal, many times, these are all disguises on the surface, but in private they are engaged in fighting for power, dominating territory, and greedy for money. As long as you join the church, you must obey the discipline of the brainwashing of the master, and there must be no disrespect; Disobedience or apostasy will inevitably result in bloody retribution.

Moreover, judging from the two bloody cases planned by Xu Chengming in Chengdu, these people are simply some cruel and ruthless executioners and inhumane terrorists. Therefore, Sun Yueling has long been indignant about this, even if he is not to help Zhu Xieyuan and the Ming government, he also wants to become famous as soon as possible and avenge the innocent dead people.

Sun Yueling racked his brains, pondered for a long time, and said to Zou Ruoyu: "In this case, I will immediately report this matter to Lord Zhu, and ask him to order all the yamen of the official government to strengthen their vigilance, and you must also take more precautions, especially to pay attention to strangers from various state capitals to see if you can find some clues." ”

"Yes, sir." Zou Ruoyu nodded in response, and then asked tentatively, "Do you want to put the whole of Chengdu under martial law to prevent demons from sneaking in?" ”

Sun Yueling frowned and said, "This...... I'm afraid that I will startle the snake, and I will make a decision with you after I meet Lord Zhu. ”

……

Chengdu West Intercity Club, the back hall of the Li family's house, Zishi.

The hall was brightly lit, and there were men with knives standing all around, among which stood a middle-aged man in brocade clothes, this person had a ruthless face and cold eyebrows, and on the pillar opposite him, there was an old man in a man's shirt, whose hands and feet were tied to death, and it was difficult to move at all.

The man in brocade shouted at the old man in a deep voice: "Li Siyi, you betrayed the sect and tried to secretly communicate with the government, do you know what kind of fate you will suffer?" ”

The old man named Li Siyi's face was distorted, and he shouted at the brocade-clothed man in front of him: "Xu Chengming, you tricked me into the sect, saying that as long as I concentrate on practicing and sincerely worship the Buddha, I can prolong my life and get rid of all kinds of diseases, but after I entered the sect, I donated all my family property and scattered all the gold and silver for the sect, but my illness is getting more and more serious, and there is no improvement at all, you are a complete liar." He coughed violently, and his face became even whiter and more terrifying in the golden light.

This middle-aged man dressed in brocade is none other than Xu Chengming, the head of the Southwest Sect of the White Lotus Sect, and he recently discovered that the disciple Li Siyi was trying to betray the sect and secretly communicate with the government, so he immediately led the master of the sect to hold it in time and correct the canon. He sneered and said, "Your condition is getting worse and worse, and that's because you are not sincere and have no heart for the Buddha. Now that you have betrayed the sect, you are trying to betray your brothers in the sect, and the head of the sect wants to punish you for your sins. ”

Li Siyi gasped heavily, and hissed: "Xu Chengming, you treacherous villain, when you persuaded me to join the religion that day, you were not a flattering face, and now you are pretending to be righteous. I only hate that the old man believed your lies and entrusted you with all the promises he had worked so hard to save. He coughed violently a few more times and continued, "Sooner or later, you will be slashed by a thousand knives, and you will not die well." ”

Xu Chengming was annoyed and angry, and shouted: "Put incense on the table, sacrifice the white lotus, and tear out his heart to orthodox rules." ”

The man next to him took the incense burner and put it on the table, lit the incense candle again, and handed it to Xu Chengming. Xu Chengming took the incense in his hand, looked at the sky three times reflexively, inserted the incense into the incense burner, and immediately someone handed the second pillar of incense.

A man with a knife on the side said in a deep voice: "As soon as you enter the sect, your parents are my parents, your brothers and sisters are my brothers and sisters, your wife and my sister-in-law, and your son and my nephew. Brothers in the church, one day into the church, no one for life, violators five thunders will be destroyed; The brothers in the sect will put loyalty and righteousness first, and they will die under ten thousand swords when they encounter half-heartedness and lack of strength; Brothers in the church, apostasy and gang, defected to the government, and died under ten thousand knives......"

Xu Chengming put on three incense sticks and shouted: "Enforce the canon!" ”

Before Li Siyi could scream, a man had already tightened his tongue with a rope, so that he could no longer speak. The sect members next to him rushed up, raised the steel knife in their hands and slashed at the old man.

Scarlet blood flowed all over the ground, and it looked terrifying in the light. Li Siyi's hands and feet were cut off, his limbs were also cut into seven or eight pieces, his head rolled aside, and his red heart and liver were dug out.

Xu Chengming spat at a pool of flesh and blood on the ground, and said to everyone: "Betraying the sect is the end." ”

A scholar-like man beside him with a delicate face and a tall figure whispered: "Fortunately, the head of the sect found out in time that this person intended to defect to the government and betray the sect, otherwise, my southwest church may be hit hard." ”

Xu Chengming turned his head and said to the scholar: "Hu Bo, this time it is thanks to you, if you hadn't tried a little trick and dragged this old guy, I'm afraid he didn't wait for me to come, he would have entered the governor's yamen and told the official mansion of the secret nest we were waiting for." You are the great hero of my teaching. ”

Hu Bo hurriedly said modestly: "The master is serious, and his subordinates are not acting according to your strategy." ”

Xu Chengming looked around at everyone and said: The major events of this sect will be held in the next few days, you all give me spiritual points, don't make any more trouble. ”

The crowd hurriedly complied.

Hu Bo cautiously asked: "Zhangjiao, my subordinates don't understand, why do you have to choose the land of the government to do it this time, this is a dangerous thing?" ”

Xu Chengming snorted lightly and said, "What, are you afraid?" ”

Hu Bo hurriedly said: "The subordinates don't dare, oh no, the subordinates are not afraid, the subordinates just don't understand, why should they press down on the patrol appointed by the imperial court, I am afraid it will anger the government......"

Xu Chengming sneered and reprimanded: "You are still a Jiangnan scribe who reads poetry and books, and you don't even have this courage and courage." After a pause, he continued, "Since we plan to raise an uprising this time, we naturally want to make the matter as big as possible, otherwise wouldn't it make King Liang underestimate us?" He dared to kill SC Governor Xu Keqiu back then, what do we have to kill a SC Inspector? ”

The king of Daliang in his mouth is the Yongning Xuanfu envoy who launched a rebellion in southern Sichuan. Since the rebellion launched in the first year of the Apocalypse, Yu Chongming killed dozens of Ming officials, invaded prefectures and counties, set up official positions such as prime minister and five mansions, and founded the country with the name "Daliang", calling himself the king of Daliang.

Under Xu Chengming's reprimand, Hu Bo just made promises and never dared to speak out again.

Xu Chengming turned his head and said to a knife-wielding man led by him: "Niu Protector, this time, you must not let go of mistakes, you have to do this matter neatly, take his head to see him." ”

Niu Protector said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, if this matter is not done properly, I will come to see you." ”

Xu Chengming nodded with satisfaction, and said slowly: "In a few days, it will be a moment of grand significance for my Southwest Church, from now on, the white lotus will appear, the prosperous era will come again, and the city will be full of golden armor." Brothers, give me a twelve-point spirit, whether my White Lotus Church can regain its strength or not depends on this battle! ”

Everyone agreed in unison, with their expressions excited.
