Qin Li looked towards Li Bo's palm, but saw that it was a small silver-white flower, slightly larger than a corn kernel. It sparkles in the midday sun and is very beautiful. Qin Li was curious for a while, pinched the small flower from Li Bo's hand, and looked carefully, the workmanship of the small flower was not fine, but the material was not gold or wood. Qin Li looked at it for a long time, and he didn't know what kind of material it was made of.

Qin Li asked in wonder, "Master Li, can you see anything from this little flower?" ”

At this time, Li Bo's eyes were straight, and he muttered, "This is a white lotus, made of special clay, extremely hard, and it is a token of the White Lotus Sect. ”

"White Lotus Sect?" Qin Li asked in surprise.

In later generations, Qin Li had heard of the White Lotus Sect when he watched movies and TV series. In Qin Li's heart, the White Lotus Sect had already been stereotyped, it was a cult.

Li Bo's face turned pale and nodded slightly. He pondered for a long time before slowly introducing himself to Qin Li.

It is said that the White Lotus Sect is a secret religious association that has been circulated among the people since the Tang Dynasty and the Song Dynasty. It originated from the Pure Land sect of Buddhism. During the Shaoxing period of the Southern Song Dynasty, Cizhao, a monk from Kunshan in Wu County, founded a new sect on the basis of the popular Pure Land Association, called the White Lotus Sect.

In the beginning, the White Lotus Sect advocated chanting the Buddha and keeping the precepts, stipulating that its followers should not kill, steal, commit adultery, lie or drink alcohol. Most of the White Lotus followers are "gathering at night", as long as they are willing to join the church, without any restrictions, regardless of wealth, surname, age, men, women and children can join, it is a "mixed men's and women" church.

The believers serve the "childless mother" and believe in the eight-character mantra of "vacuum hometown, childless mother".

Looking at it this way, when the White Lotus Sect began, it played a role in educating the people, and it was very just.

But later, the White Lotus Sect was used by people with ulterior motives and became a reactionary church. It was specially used to oppose the government, incite the people, and rebel against the court.

Li Bo said that during the years when Zhengde was the emperor, the White Lotus Sect was very stable, and he originally thought that they had died out, but he didn't expect to see the White Lotus left by the five evil men. This shows that the White Lotus Sect is still active and has infiltrated Jiangdu County.

Li Bo couldn't help but turn more and more pale as he spoke, obviously very afraid of the White Lotus Sect.

Qin Li was also surprised when he heard this, and secretly thought, I, Qin Li, crossed the Ming Dynasty just to have a beautiful wife and concubine, and to mix up the glory and wealth, and by the way, I would do my best to do something for the people. Why does it have something to do with the White Lotus Sect? Could it be that my opening of a county school hinders the White Lotus Sect?

After thinking about it, Qin Li couldn't understand it. Seeing that Li Bo was still trembling, he simply smiled indifferently and said, "Lord Li, I don't care about the White Lotus Sect or the Black Lotus Sect. Let's just run our county school well and serve the Ming court. As for the five thieves, they ran away, and Master Li didn't have to worry about it. ”

As he spoke, he gently patted Li Bo's shoulder, and his eyes were full of encouragement and comfort, as if Li Bo's leader was caring about his subordinates.

It's ridiculous to say, Qin Li's eyes really made Li Bo calm down quickly. At this time, he had already regarded Qin Li as a fairy-like figure. Yesterday evening, there was a big fire, but it suddenly rained. What does this mean? It shows that Qin Li has the help of immortals in the underworld.

Li Bo has Qin Li as the backbone, and his heart is becoming more and more steady. In the end, he was embarrassed to confess to Qin Li again, and then happily led the errand away.

As soon as Li Bo left, two messengers from Yangzhou Mansion arrived, and they came to pick up Qimeng.

Wang Yuanzheng, the superintendent of the imperial history, brought Qimeng to Yangzhou for inspection this time, and it has been a month. In the past month, Wang Yuanzheng has seen Qin Li's ability with his own eyes, and he is completely relieved of Qin Li. His investigation of Qin Li has also come to an end, and it is time to return to the capital to make a business.

Qimeng lived in the county school for a month, and her relationship with Lin Yan'er was one step closer. Especially for Qin Li, she is even more affectionate, but she still has a lot of things to do after all. Although I am very reluctant to Qin Li and his wife, there is no banquet in the world that will not be dispersed, and they still have to leave after all.

Although Qimeng and Qin Li have not confessed their hearts to this day, they are very clear in their hearts. Hearing that Qi Meng was leaving, Qin Li couldn't help but feel a little moist in his eyes.

He was originally a man of temperament, and it was this kind of affection and nature that made Qimeng even more attached to him.

If the two love for a long time, how can it be in the morning and twilight?

After all, Qimeng is a cheerful and cheerful person, and he glanced at Qin Li for the last time with affection, and suddenly asked, "Qin Li, is the dagger I gave you still there?" ”

Qin Li was stunned for a moment, hurriedly took out the delicate dagger from his arms, and said with a smile, "What Sister Qimeng gave me, how can I not know to cherish it?" I've always had it with me. ”

Seeing that the delicate dagger was actually taken out of Qin Li's arms, Qi Meng's pretty face suddenly blushed, and her heart couldn't tell the sweetness and joy. As if Qin Li had seen through his thoughts, he glanced at Qin Li and said coquettishly, "Hmph! You can be poor! Let's go! ”

After speaking, he turned around suddenly, and his beautiful eyes as clear as cutting water were already full of tears. Qi Meng took a step forward, never looking back, and followed the two messengers away in the sight of Qin Li and Lin Yan'er.

Qin Li was sullen, staring at Qimeng's graceful back, and secretly thought, I don't know when I will be able to see Sister Qimeng? Alas! I don't know when she will be like Yan'er, staying with me for a long time, never abandoning.

……

After Qimeng left, more than ten days passed in a blink of an eye. During this period of time, it was very stable, and there was no worse incident like the last fire in the county school, and it gradually got on the normal track.

In these days, Qin Li discovered a strange phenomenon, every day at noon, a young man with tattered clothes and fluffy hair appeared on time at the gate of the county school.

The boy was holding two buffaloes in one hand, and always holding a broken book in the other. The book was black, covered with sludge, and the pages were tattered and mutilated.

But every time Qin Li saw the young man, he was reading the broken book very seriously. The young man also looked inside the county school from time to time, and his bright eyes were full of envy.

Obviously, this is a teenager from a poor family, but he loves to read.

The admission to the county school requires a certain repair fee (tuition), and Qin Li concluded that he could not afford to pay the tuition fee.

In the future generations, there are charitable donations, poverty alleviation funds, youth hope projects, and compulsory education. Those who cannot afford to study because of family difficulties can still study in school with peace of mind.

It is said that although Qin Li is a gangster in the later life, eating, drinking and having fun, he is quite sympathetic. He is very sympathetic to those children from poor families, and Qin Li has donated to the Hope Project.

Seeing the hard-working young man, Qin Li was moved by pity and compassion for a while, so he walked up to the young man and asked with a concerned face, "Little brother, what is your name?" Do you really want to come to the county to study? ”

The young man probably already knew that Qin Li was the teacher of this county, and hurriedly responded, "My name is Yang Jisheng, and I really want to study, but our family can't afford to read!" ”

The voice is crisp, but there is a hint of helplessness.
