Chapter 710: Eradicate the Cult

readx; Letting go of Rui'er's own sister, Zhu Youzhen was no longer polite to the remaining White Lotus Sectists. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 Nearly 100 special combat team members rushed up, first drove all the pilgrims out of the Xiangji Temple, and then searched room by room, and finally searched dozens of fake monks, and rescued more than ten imprisoned women from the secret room.

At this time, Qi Meifeng and Li Zhenyan also helped Rui'er out of the secret passage, Rui'er, who had not seen the light of day for many days, turned even paler at the moment, and when she saw Zhu Youzhen, she kept crying and said: "Lord, Rui'er shouldn't hide it from you!" I..."

Zhu Youzhen didn't mean to blame Rui'er at all, and smiled warmly: "Okay, okay, as long as you're okay, your husband will rest assured." Let's go home right now, let Yulian show you, you can sleep well for a few more days, and talk about it later." ā€

The group then escorted this group of White Lotus Sectists and escorted Rui'er back to Qinwangzhuang. Zhu Youzhen hurriedly invited Bao Yulian, and while briefly introducing her to what happened, he asked her to call for Rui'er. At this time, Rui'er was unconscious.

Of course, Bao Yulian was also taken aback, and frowned after carefully passing the pulse of Rui'er: "Lord Wang, what Niangniang is taking is a poison, and this poison has already run throughout the body with qi and blood. Although it is not harmful to life, it can make people feel fatigued, mentally exhausted, and drowsy all day long. It's not difficult to cure the poison, it just takes time. In the case of spring and summer, it takes about a month; Autumn and winter are a bit longer, taking at least three months to recover. During this time, Yu Lian had to go through the acupuncture points for Niangniang's golden needle every day, and Niangniang must not have strenuous exercise during this period, nor should she be distracted. ā€

"Yu Lian, then it's hard for you!" Zhu Youzhen said gratefully.

After coming out of Rui'er's room, Zhu Youzhen immediately rushed to the prison, where Yan Zhengang was interrogating the fake monks. As soon as he entered the cell, there was no bloody and cruel scene as he imagined, Yan Zhengang had already finished several interrogations, and presented the signed confession to Zhu Youzhen for inspection.

Zhu Youzhen couldn't help but smile at Yan Zhengang and said, "I call you the 'Living Yama King', why didn't you use torture this time?" ā€

Yan Zhengang always looked like he was not smiling, and replied seriously: "Your Highness, the minister thinks that torture is only a means rather than an end, and if you can get a confession through other methods and find out the facts of the case, there is no need to use torture. The few White Lotus Sect disciples who were interrogated in front of them were all sloppy and soft, and they were recruited as soon as they asked, so the ministers could also retain some strength to try those recalcitrant criminals. ā€

Zhu Youzhen took a cursory look at those confessions, and saw that these White Lotus disciples were indeed headed by the Dharma Protector, and they arrested the original monks of Xiangji Temple and took them to other places, and they became fake monks here. In addition to embezzling incense money, he also coaxed and abducted more than a dozen women from good families and imprisoned them as sex slaves in the temple. But they don't know what else is the leader of the Dharma Protector.

Zhu Youzhen looked at it and said angrily: "It seems that this White Lotus Sect is really a cult!" The mere abuse of women is a capital offense. Yan Zhengang, don't be polite to them, you must interrogate them strictly, and it's best to even try out the matter of stealing the neighbor's eggs when he was a child! ā€

After coming out of prison, Zhu Youzhen immediately summoned Yan Ling to reconcile and win the matter, and said straight to the point: "The White Lotus Sect is a cult, and it imprisons Niangniang, if you want to be unfavorable to this king, you must strike hard." It stands to reason that this matter should be handled by the imperial court and the government, but it is said that the White Lotus Sect and the people in the official government have colluded extensively, and I am afraid that they will not be able to do anything, so this king has no choice but to act on his behalf! Let's take a look at what to do. ā€

These two generals came to the spirit, you discussed it word by word, and soon came up with a plan: in view of the fact that the White Lotus Sect is distributed in all prefectures and counties near Xi'an, although the den of Xiangji Temple has been knocked down, but for a while, other incense altars have not been able to get news, and they may still preach openly. Therefore, dozens of squads can be sent immediately, disguised as civilians to approach the incense altar, and then take down those backbone elements with lightning speed. As for those believers, most of them are ignorant and foolish people, and it doesn't make much sense to catch them or not. There is only the White Lotus Sect in Xi'an City, because Xi'an is still under martial law, unless there is another raid on the eunuch's mansion, it can only be patient for the time being.

Zhu Youzhen immediately clapped his head and said: "Without further ado, you act immediately, and you will arrest the person back tomorrow, and leave him alone in Xi'an City for the time being." Remember, if you can catch as much as you can, our prison in Qinwangzhuang is very empty now, and there is a shortage of coolies in the city! ā€

However, in one day, dozens of small teams triumphed one after another, capturing nearly a thousand White Lotus Sect disciples. Some of the "protectors" of the incense altar are just some ruffians and hooligans, and Qin Bing was scared to pee his pants as soon as he showed up, and it was effortless to arrest them; Some relied on some of their martial arts to resist arrest, but the Qin soldiers were also unceremonious, and they came up with a volley of birds. When those deceived believers saw that the Dharma protectors, who usually boasted of being "invulnerable," had been beaten into a sieve, this fact was more effective than any preaching, they immediately knelt down and begged for mercy again and again, promising that they would never believe in cults again.

After the people were arrested, Zhu Youzhen personally accompanied Yan Zhengang for interrogation, mainly to screen out the backbone elements and find out the internal organization of the White Lotus Sect. After a few days, he had already learned that the White Lotus Sect system was huge, and its members were all over the country. The supreme leader is the "Sect Master", also known as the "Venerable", who claims to be the reincarnation of Maitreya Buddha and has boundless power.

Second only to the "Venerable" is the "Madonna", but this "Madonna" rarely appears and has never been seen. Under the "Holy Mother", there are four "Holy Maidens", and Lei'er, the sister of Rui'er, is one of them.

These three identities are regarded as the "holy spirits" in the church, and all believers must worship them every day. The people who are actually responsible for the management in the church are called "King Kong", and all of them are masters of uneducated learning; Underneath the "Vajra" is the "Dharma Protector", that is, the leader of each incense altar. In the vicinity of Xi'an alone, there are dozens of incense altars, and the whole country does not know how many, and the number of congregants is not less than one million.

The "doctrine" of the White Lotus Sect is to preach that it is now the "last days", and only by worshipping Maitreya Buddha, the Buddha of the next life, can we avoid the curse of heaven. When the believers were deceived into believing it, they were asked to donate all their possessions for the drive of His Holiness. As for what the "Venerable" wants them to do, or even who this "Venerable" has and what he looks like, even these "Dharma Protectors" do not know. Because there are many people in the sect who are treacherous and evil-minded, situations similar to Xiangji Temple are very common, and the "Venerable" also let it go.

After a long day of trial, none of the most critical leaders were tried, and Zhu Youzhen couldn't help but be a little frustrated. It seems that this White Lotus Sect is tightly organized, and it will not be eliminated in a day, and the struggle against them will probably last for a long time.

One day, he had just read the thick dossier, rubbing his temples tiredly, Shi Biao hurriedly came in and reported: "Your Highness, Niangniang is awake and anxious to see you!" ā€
