"The real man is in charge of a Maitreya monk named Yile. Because he has two account books in his hand, which contain the accounts of officials at all levels who have received bribes from Naqiu over the years and the believers in the official palace, and Naqiu Changben is a believer in the development of Maitreya, so for convenience, he also has two books in his hand, and fortunately he can contact the informant in the yamen as soon as possible. Yile is precisely because there are believers and eyeliner in various yamen, so that in a big city like Baoding Mansion, the relief grain can still be transported away unknowingly, so that the people of Xinglong Grain Shop can evacuate in time, and Qiu Chuchang can be wiped out one step ahead of you. I didn't find Qiu Chuchang's account book, so I set fire to his house. But maybe it's not burned yet, you can keep looking for it. The incense hall of the Maitreya religion is in the Laishun Hutong in the west of the city! There's a chance you'll catch him now! Liu Pet said all the words in one breath.

"Maitreya has infiltrated the government! White Lotus Remnant! Hearing Liu Chong say this, not only Wang Jing and Xu Tai were shocked, but even Lu Hua, who was lamenting how Ye Guan had not been hacked to death, also changed his complexion.

The existence of the White Lotus Sect is a long time, since the Southern Song Dynasty and the Song Dynasty Gaozong, the monk Mao Ziyuan of Kunshan in Wu County founded a new sect on the basis of the popular Pure Land Association, called the White Lotus Sect, that is, the White Lotus Sect, which has left a strong mark in Chinese history.

To paraphrase a phrase often used in the college entrance examination: Since the White Lotus Sect, the religion of the Chinese land has taken on a new look.

Originally, the White Lotus Sect was run by lay people or monks who believed in Buddhism. However, due to the simplicity of the doctrine and the simplicity of practice, you can hang a pair of calligraphy and paintings of "White Lotus Morning Dynasty Confession" at home, and you can form an association to worship the Buddha at home, and you don't need to go to the temple to worship the Buddha and offer incense, so the development is very fast. In addition, the Mongols of the Yuan Dynasty believed in Buddhism, and anyone could become a monk or open a monastery, and the monks were still in the aristocratic class. Many people mixed into various religions, so the White Lotus Sect developed rapidly. In the last years of the Yuan Dynasty, the White Lotus Sect was gradually controlled by people with good intentions and became a tool used to resist the tyranny of the Yuan Dynasty.

Before Zhu Yuanzhang's career, most of the leaders of the rebel army relied on claiming to be the reincarnation of Maitreya to trick the world into participating in their ranks, including Han Shantong, the father of King Xiao Ming, Liu Futong, the leader of the rebel army, the prime minister and the Pingzhangshi of the same Zhongshu sect, and Xu Shouhui, who claimed to be the emperor of Tianwan Kingdom, who brought Chen Youliangti up. They all started by relying on the White Lotus Sect to develop followers. It can be said that without the gathering effect of the White Lotus Sect, the Mongols' qi in the Central Plains could still be mixed for more than ten years to several decades.

In the Qing Dynasty, there were even more sects that developed by relying on the White Lotus Sect. Many organizations that oppose the restoration of the Qing Dynasty are inseparable from the White Lotus Sect.

For example, the Boxer Rebellion, who thought he was invulnerable, the consistent Tao that was banned by this dynasty, the background music of Sun Wukong's appearance in Stephen Chow's "Journey to the West" and the opening song of "Huang Feihong's Boy Should Be Self-Improvement" are the "Overture of the Little Knife Society" composed by the composer of this dynasty after feeling the revolutionary plot of the Little Knife Society, and the red light of the Red Lantern in one of "Huang Feihong" who swore to kill all foreigners to protect their families and defend the country, and oppose the Qing Dynasty and destroy the foreign (one said to help the Qing Dynasty and destroy the foreign) and so on. These sects are all derived from the White Lotus Sect.

It can be said that the so-called White Lotus Sect is a broken frame, and anything can be loaded into it. The only goal of the White Lotus's existence is to overthrow the present and build a supposedly bright, equal, and oppression-free world (sound familiar?). ）。 After Zhu Yuanzhang started by relying on the White Lotus Sect, he immediately ordered to prohibit all White Lotus Sect activities. In the Ming Dynasty, the White Lotus Sect was banned by the Ming court.

"Big boss, let's go!" When the people in the yamen were stunned by Liu Chong's words, several people suddenly ran out of the street, throwing a kind of smoking iron ball, while disturbing the sight of the officers and soldiers.

"Don't let him run! Archery! Ye Guan woke up, this thing must be a smoke-fog bomb in the Ming Dynasty, and quickly commanded people to shoot arrows in the direction of Liu Pet, and when the smoke dissipated, Liu Pet was nowhere to be found.

"Check, some of them went to chase the bandit, and the other part of them went to Qiu Chuchang's house, that is, they dug Qiu Chuchang's mansion three feet into the ground for me, and they also had to dig out the account book! Send someone to Laishun Hutong again and copy that cult to me! Some people interrogated Li Xing to see if he was a remnant of the White Lotus! If he doesn't recruit him, he will torture me severely, such a corrupt official who cares about the life and death of the people deserves to be killed! Ye looked at the empty ground, his face was hideous, and he gritted his teeth and said.

……………………

"Big boss, it's okay!" In a private house not far from Baoding City, although it was a cold winter, Liu Pet, who was covered in blood, was shirtless and asked the doctor to give him medicine. Several people who looked like bandits next to him were gathering around him to ask about Liu Chong's injuries. Although Liu Pet escaped from Baoding City, he was still shot in the arm by the archers of the Yamen.

"It's fine, just a little bit of skin. It's just that this time Lao Tzu was pitted by that happy bald donkey! It's really fucking unwilling" Liu Pet washed his face with a towel, not caring about the arrow wound on his arm at all, but he was angry about the monk who gave him a condom.

"What's going on?" Several brothers only knew that their big boss was surrounded by officers and soldiers, but they didn't know why the big boss was exposed.

"Damn, I originally thought that I would go back to Bazhou to train the soldiers and horses after doing this, but I didn't expect to be seen by the bald donkey. Not only did he swallow all the goods we brought to him last time. He also deliberately let people take me to the streets to expose my identity, so that the people of the yamen could catch me, maybe the person who found my whereabouts was a believer of his Maitreya sect in the yamen, so that that person could use my head to use my head as a stepping stone for his Maitreya people! Liu Pet was not afraid of the cold outside, and took a bowl of cold water on the table. It seems that this is the only way to pour out the anger in his heart.

"That bald donkey is not afraid that we will give him a fish to die and break the net and reveal all their news to the yamen?" A guy on the side asked.

"Hey, Lao Tzu originally thought the same, but when I escaped from this Baoding City, I found that we didn't have any useful news about them at all. I only know one of their incense halls, and I only know that the person in charge of connecting with us is called Yile. I only know that Qiu is often a Maitreya person, but that Qiu has often been wiped out by me. The rest is left with no idea. We have fooled the demons of the White Lotus Sect from beginning to end! Liu Pet scolded, and then said depressedly.

"The big boss and the second boss brought news that he was doing well in the local area, and not only the poor people were brought over, but also the horse farmers were also attracted a lot. Sure enough, Mr. is not an ordinary person, relying on his slogan: robbing the rich and helping the poor and the world is in harmony, in recent years, more and more farmers and horse farmers can't stand the local harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and they have joined our team. Many dealers also have contact with us. Moreover, there are more and more practitioners and horses in our team, and the team has grown to more than 100 people! Another bandit said.

"It's still my second brother who is smarter, unlike my eldest brother, who has been fooled by this White Lotus Cult here for more than half a year but has gained nothing. Forget it, let's all go to my second brother's! If we are united, it will be easier to fight a family! Liu Pet sighed while making the decision to leave Baoding Mansion and go to Bazhou. At the same time, he also made a decision that he would never have any contact with these demons in the future.

"Report, my lord, then Li Xing can't stand the torture, he was bewitched by the White Lotus Sect when he was still the magistrate of Zhuozhou County three years ago, and joined the White Lotus Sect, and then relied on the credit given by the White Lotus Sect and the way he built up, and he achieved the prefect of Baoding along the way. And this time, the case of colluding with Qiu Chuchang, a subordinate official of the inspection envoy, to resell disaster relief grain was to help the White Lotus Sect obtain money, and Fan Wencang, the chief bookkeeper in the Baoding Yamen, and Chen Shun'er, the head of the Yamen, were both White Lotus Sectists. Li Xing said that he had recruited them all, and he hoped that the adults would say more good things in front of the cabinet and not harm his family. "A master in charge of criminal affairs hurried to report it as soon as he got the news.

"Send people to arrest them all, and at the same time raid their homes, and all relatives, including the neighborhood, control them, so as not to leak the news." Ye Guan listened to the words of the master's report, and only said this sentence.

"You want to kill me, and you have leaked the news many times, and even watched those victims starve to death outside the city for your own ambitions, and you still want the court to protect his family?" The matter involves a cult, whether he can protect his family or not, this is no longer what Ye Guan can do. And this is the Ming Dynasty of Zhulian, not the Celestial Dynasty of later generations. Let the family enjoy the blessings, and it will not work here to take the blame yourself.

"Lord Wang, you're here." While Ye Guan was talking, Wang Jing, the governor of Baoding, walked in quickly.

"Is there any useful news about Qiu Chuchang and that cult's incense hall?" Wang Jing asked as soon as he came in.

"Back to the two adults. In the mansion of Naqiu Chang, a ledger burned to the point of only a few pieces of paper was found, and the two adults were invited to look at it. "The Jinyi guard in charge of the search really found two account books in a collapsed dark compartment after digging three feet into the ground, but one of them has been completely burned, and the other book has only a few pieces of paper left, and only a few names are left in it.

"Thanks to Lord Ye and these experienced Jinyi Guards. You are outsiders, and you have nothing to do with the locals, so you can just find some loopholes that the old man can't get rid of. That's why so many silverfish hidden in the court can be found at once. Wang Jing twisted his beard with his hand and said to Ye Guan with a smile. Not to mention anything else, together with Ye Guan, he investigated the case of embezzlement of grain relief and the two cases of the cult mixing with the court officials, which was enough to make Wang Jingqing famous in history.

"This is also thanks to Lord Wang's unsparing support, if it weren't for Lord Wang's governor's token. Relying on more than 100 Jinyi guards in my district, it must be difficult to protect itself. Ye Guan was also quite grateful to this Governor Wang in his heart, if it weren't for him, he wouldn't have enough manpower, and he would really have to be played around by the people of the White Lotus Sect, and in the end he could only leave in disgrace.

"By the way, did you find anything in that cult's incense hall?" Ye Guan suddenly remembered that there was still a group of people who had gone to search the cult incense hall.

"Your Excellency......" The official in charge of the search stopped talking.

"Say whatever you want."
