374. The Manichaean Holy Religion is the way of heaven
Zhu Mian didn't even dare to live in his own mansion in Beijing, and avoided in the old mansion when Zhao Ji was still King Duan. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
Zhou Quan dared to burn his house, but he didn't dare to burn Zhao Ji's old house.
But he can hide from the monk, but he can't hide from the temple.
When Zhu Mian was in Beijing, many people gathered one after another on the side of Sun Lao Bridge in Suzhou, in front of Zhu Mian's house.
These people are not too old, they look like they are about twenty years old, they all look very capable, and many of them have cut their hair and are dressed as novices.
Since the last time Zhou Quan hit the door of the house, the Zhu family has been much more cautious, and even directly transferred the officers and soldiers stationed in Suzhou and stationed them at the Zhu family. The nearby houses were all emptied by him, and it can be said that the entire street belongs to theirs.
So as soon as these people appeared, they aroused vigilance.
At first, it was just vigilance, but when more and more people appeared, some people went to find officers and soldiers. The officer and soldier were stationed next to Zhu Mian's house, and he had been called by his family to drink as a slave for a long time.
"Everyone is obedient to orders, you come to drink and ask, we will give some face, just retreat, but you don't have to be too ...... We were ordered to do things, but one person got fifty yuan, if there are dead or injured, and you also bring a family pension, you have to work for Zhu Mian, how much money does Zhu Mian give you? ”
At this question, the group of young people who came showed fierce eyes, and some people said it directly. When the officers and men heard this, they immediately shrank back, and some even muttered that as long as they were given 50 yuan each, everyone would immediately defect.
After the officers and soldiers went back, they fooled Zhu Mian's family, after all, Zhu Mian himself was not in Suzhou, and there was no backbone in the family.
frightened the officers and soldiers back, and then the group of young men began to guard all the main roads leading to Zhu's mansion, only allowed to enter, not to leave.
Things are so big, and Suzhou is not too big a city, so it didn't take long for many people to gather outside Sun Laoqiao.
"What kind of play is this, someone dares to provoke the Zhu family!"
Someone in the crowd asked, and then immediately attracted a look of contempt: "You're new here, haven't you seen it a few years ago?" ”
"What?"
"At the beginning, someone knocked on the door of the Zhu family and took away the people who were held by the Zhu family, and the Zhu family didn't even catch a fart, although they led the troops to chase after them, they were also drunk back!"
Listening to the people who were familiar with this matter talked about the original incident vividly, and those who didn't know about it couldn't help but dance with their eyebrows, patting their thighs one by one and exclaiming with joy.
Zhu Mian has really tossed Jiangnan miserably over the years!
"Who is that person, could it be the official himself?"
"The official family is busy playing with girls in the harem, where is the leisure to take care of this, Zhu Mian has offended our Song Dynasty one of the best people, do you know the God of Wealth? offended him, so he sent someone from Xuzhou and smoked Zhu Mian faceless! ”
Everyone laughed heartily, and someone asked in a low voice: "What about the future, what about the future, with Zhu Mian's temperament, how can there be any reason not to retaliate?" ”
"Of course, revenge, the big raid in the second half of last year, do you remember, the officials and people in the southeast, the change of color when talking about it is his revenge."
"After dragging on for so many years, can it be considered revenge?"
"Because the living God of Wealth is more favored by the official family than him, at the end of last year, there were villains in Beijing who confused the court, Zhu Mian thought that he had an opportunity, so he began to take revenge, but the Living God of Wealth was not only fine, but was promoted to the title and became the Marquis of the East China Sea, so Zhu Mian sat on wax."
"No wonder, the living god of wealth is bound to take revenge...... Today is the living God of Wealth to take revenge? ”
At this time, everyone suddenly realized, and one by one thought that they had guessed the truth.
Fang La was one of those who guessed the truth, he happened to be operating in Suzhou during this time, and he had only recently made a connection, and he had passed through the door of one of Zhu Mian's golden belt chiefs, preparing to use Zhu Mian's power to expand the business of Manichaeism.
The woolen business was out of his sights now, and he now had a new deal in mind: silk.
With the development of the cotton textile industry, all kinds of new looms have sprung up, in addition to spinning cotton yarn, there are also reeling silk spinning silk. Not to mention, new technology and new machines represent huge market interests, and this concept has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Fang La was a tyrant for a while, and he noticed the role of looms in the cotton textile industry very early, and he did not dare to compete head-on with the Donghai Chamber of Commerce, so he thought of a roundabout strategy: to study new silk reeling machines and looms.
It really got him.
But then the raw material is a problem, especially when the silk is reeling, the workers have to work in boiling steam, and after a long time, their fingers will rot. Without the support of Zhu Mian, who controls half of the south of the Yangtze River, it is very difficult for him to have a stable source of silk and workers who do not make trouble.
"Zhou Quan's revenge this time is good, I think that after this incident, Zhu Mian will also have a deep understanding, knowing that the times have changed, relying on the favor of the official family is no longer enough to support his power, only wealth is the root of all power! When the time comes, I will work with him through the Golden Belt Chief, and it will be easier for him to agree. Looking at this scene from afar, Fang La smiled, feeling that he could finally take advantage of Zhou Quan.
It was almost noon, more than 1,000 people suddenly rushed to Zhu's house, these people carried all kinds of tools in their hands, and after arriving at his house, they first drove the Zhu family's guards together, and then began to tear down the wall.
They were very professional, hooking the rope to the wall, and then dozens of people worked together, and in an instant, a section of the wall was torn down. The Zhu family originally closed the door, and it was meaningless at this time. Immediately afterwards, these people rushed into Zhu's house and searched everywhere.
"What about the prefect, what about the errand soldiers, what about the officers and soldiers, where are all the dead?" Some people from the Zhu Mansion were still shouting, but they were immediately beaten with sticks and knocked over.
Looking at the excitement outside, I didn't know what was going on inside, but I saw that batch after batch of people in the Zhu Mansion were driven out, and then someone took a roster and questioned them one by one in this group of people. From time to time, they pointed to one of the people in the Zhu Mansion, and suddenly a strong man like a wolf and a tiger rushed over, pulled the person out, and tied him up directly.
The people who were tied up were all the gold and silver belt stewards of the Zhu Mansion, and Zhu Mian was arrogant, and the stewards in his house went out and divided their identities with gold and silver belts, and often instructed the local officials to be arrogant, as if they were bad. These people were tied up, naturally everyone was happy, but Fang La saw that the golden belt chief who walked through the door was also tied up, and he immediately panicked.
The first batch was the steward of these gold and silver belts, and the second group was some evil slaves, and in the blink of an eye, more than 100 people were tied up and thrown directly into the small boat under the Sun Lao Bridge. The cries of these wicked slaves in charge shook the sky, but none of them dared to resist, it seems that in the Zhu Mansion, this group of intruders has gained a foothold in prestige.
After the ship carried away these stewards and evil slaves, these intruders withdrew one after another, and there was obviously a process of counting the number of people, and after these things were completed, I saw that someone wrote two big characters in thick ink on the gate of Zhu's mansion that had not yet fallen.
As soon as he saw these two big words, Fang La's face changed greatly, and he was almost out of his mind: "Zhou Quan, where did I provoke you again!" ”
But it's the word "Mani"!
"Zhu Mian has brought disaster to the country and the people, we Manichaeism will do the way for heaven, go to its minions first, and then come to kill pigs after a while!" Some of those people shouted.
"Manichae Holy Sect, for the Heavenly Path, Manichaean Holy Religion, for the Heavenly Path!"
Nearly 2,000 people chanted in unison, and some threw down some signs, all of which were proof of Manichaeism. They shouted as they boarded the boat and left, and the crowd looked at each other and laughed one by one.
Such a child's play that the ghosts believed that they were Manichaeans.
But the gang wasn't trying to convince them that they were Manichaeans, they were just giving the magistrate a chance to give an account.
Otherwise, the magistrate reported that Zhou Quan sent someone to raid Zhu Mian's house and arrested more than 100 people.
Well, now that it is "Manichaeism" that has done this, and there are people with physical evidence, then the magistrate reports that there is a Manichaean rebellion on a certain day, a certain month, and a certain day, and forcibly robs the official eunuch's house, and the higher authorities only need to order the arrest of Manichaean bandits, anyway, arresting cults is a matter that the imperial court has always done, and of course Zhao Ji can also pretend to be foolish, and there is no need to make a trade-off between the two ministers.
It looks like child's play, but it is a clever hand, and the only one who is upside down is the Manichaean who is lying down and is also stabbed.
Oh, and the Manichaean leader Fang La.
He was originally watching the excitement on the periphery, but at this time he was so angry that he beat his chest, but after a moment of madness, he immediately turned around and left.
The cronies around him came up: "Holy Father, this matter can't be left like this!" ”
"Then what else can you do, why don't you go to a lawsuit with Zhou Quan and sue him for ruining the reputation of the Holy Sect?" Fang La, who was holding back his stomach, said angrily: "Idiot, idiot, idiot!" ”
In addition to anger, there was also fear in his heart.
Anzhi's move is not Zhou Quan's warning to him!
With the improvement of economic power, Fang La himself gradually became dissatisfied with being a rich man, at least, he hoped that he could have more power, and it was best to influence the decision-making of the imperial court.
Therefore, Manichaeism has strengthened its penetration into the southeast in the past two years, and this time it has befriended Zhu Mian, which is also one of the purposes.
Did some of his small actions be known to Zhou Quan, so while he was treating Zhu Mian, he beat himself by the way?
The more he thought about it, the more frightened Fang La felt, Zhou Quan seemed to be a sharp sword hanging over his head, no matter what he did, he seemed to be able to anticipate one step ahead and then restrict it.
After going back, the first thing he did was to purge the Holy Sect again, so that there would be no people sent by Zhou Quan under his command. In addition, the Holy Sect had to keep a low profile for the next half a year, and all the tentacles that stretched out were retracted.
Fang La was a little angry, his son was not angry, and he didn't get close to Zhou Quan when he was sent to Jeju for so long, let alone learn any skills, but he heard that he had a good relationship with the Jurchens and became the contact person of the Jurchens in Jeju.
Jurchen ......
Fang La's heart suddenly moved again. (To be continued.) )
