Chapter 383: People's War
As the people gathered, Chen Xu stood on a makeshift platform, holding a cylinder rolled up in iron sheets. As he spoke, he brought the thinner end of the cylinder to his mouth, and the sound was transmitted far away, so that even the outermost people could hear it really.
Whether it's Ying Ying or Zhen Yuhuan, they are all curious.
"Fellow villagers, I'm Chen Xu." Chen Xu cleared his throat and said, "Please be quiet and listen to me." ”
"Today, I want to expose to you all kinds of evil deeds in Qiuxia Temple, find their daughters for those who have lost their daughters, and seek justice for them."
The reactions of the people were mixed, some wept bitterly, it was the parents of the family whose daughter was missing; There are those who shout and question, that is the believers who believe in Buddhism; The most is still lively, although there are many bloody people, but more of them are some people who are good at drilling, and they need enough bargaining chips to release the so-called blood.
"I know that everyone will find it incredible, even I think it is impossible, my mother taught me since I was a child to say that my family is compassionate, and that monks who meet the fate should give one or two, how can such a virtuous person do the shameless act of being a private prisoner and raping a woman? However, the evidence is ironclad, we can't believe it, you can ask the girl next to me, she escaped from the dungeon of Qiuxia Temple. ”
Zhen Yuhuan was in the spotlight, she only felt uneasy, thinking about Chen Xu's words, she gradually felt at ease, and told her what she had encountered and seen in the dungeon of Qiuxia Temple.
Such a delicate little lady with tears in her eyes accusing Qiuxia Temple of the crime is of course more convincing than Chen Xu, and the people are in an uproar, especially those bloody brave people, they almost exploded their lungs, and when will they stay if they don't come out at this time?
Chen Xu saw this qiē in his eyes, and he knew that the matter was half the battle. Waving at the onlookers, he added, "I'm a father, too." I can understand the torment in the hearts of those villagers who have lost their daughters, shouldn't we rescue the poor women who were imprisoned by Qiuxia Temple? If we ignore it, more girls will go missing around us in the future, shouldn't we completely destroy such a pornic hole? Shouldn't we bring those scum to justice? ”
Chen Xu's words were impassioned, and the crowd rang out from time to time to "save people" and "eliminate Qiuxia Temple", some of these people were eager to save people because of their lost daughters, and then there were real bloody people, and they had to draw their swords to help when they saw injustice, not to mention such a sin?
Yingying's master and servant stood beside Chen Xu, encouraged by his words at this moment. First, I feel that Xianggong's not burly figure is very majestic, and secondly, there is a kind of injustice accumulated in his chest to act for the heavens......
In the Qiuxia Temple, in the Reclining Buddha Hall, the red sandalwood fairy sat cross-legged at the entrance of the dungeon, eating spring by mistake. After pouring cold water in the middle of the night, such a hot and cold alternation almost drained all her strength, at the moment her face was pale and trembling, she was able to persist until now with the belief in saving people in her heart; Xiao Yi seemed to be leaning lazily against the door, but she was actually on guard. No disturbance in the temple could be hidden from her ears and eyes. Those thieves must be like ants on a hot pot now, right? Watching the sun rise as usual, Xiao Yi thought.
The monks below the abbot of Qiuxia Temple are indeed like ants on a hot pot, but it is not because of Chen Xu, since I heard the news that Chen Xu posted big-character posters and gathered ordinary people to make trouble. And they were completely relieved.
The so-called grasshopper can shake the tree, especially in this year of good weather. Most of the women imprisoned in Qiuxia Temple are orphans from other places who have no support, even if they are imprisoned by mistake. It's definitely a minority, what can a few families do? They never believed that these untouchables could shake the eight hundred monks and soldiers in the temple, Chen Xu was poor in donkey skills.
What really embarrassed them was the red sandalwood fairy.
I thought I could see a good show. I didn't expect the red sandalwood fairy to think of a way to pour cold water to detoxify, which is simply too uncaring for her body. There are also monks to the abbot to offer advice, the first to start for the strong, and then to suffer, this matter has to destroy the corpse, if it is handled properly, even if the hanging temple is traced, it is estimated that there is no reason; The big abbot didn't have the courage after all, God knows how many people knew the news of the fairy's arrival, and paper would never be able to contain the fire.
Seeing the "crumbling" appearance of the Rosewood Fairy, the great abbot suddenly thought of the word "drag", as long as the Rosewood Fairy fell ill, the son next to her would not worry at all. Speaking of this son, the monks of Qiuxia Temple have a lot of complaints, since they are admirers of fairies, how can they not volunteer to detoxify fairies? It's not as good as a beast. You should really learn from that damn Chen Xu to learn how to deal with the Qingtan fairy, get on the bus first and make up the ticket later, and when the child is born, the fairy can still kill the child and his father?
Of course, Xiao Yi knew the importance of the Rosewood Fairy, seeing that the fairy's complexion was becoming more and more terrifying, she suddenly walked to the side of Rosewood, and her right palm was imprinted on her vest without a trace, and the fairy suddenly felt a warm current into her body, and she was full of doubts at the same time, how could this Xiaoyi girl be proficient in her own mind? Thinking of the fact that she had lost to Xiao Yi, she knew herself but didn't know the other, and she suddenly felt that she didn't complain about losing.
****************************************
"Listen to me again," Chen Xu raised the tin horn in his hand again, "For the crimes of criminal groups, we have a reason to expose them, so that they can become street rats and never continue to do evil." I will now tell you what I know, and let you judge whether such a temple should continue to exist. ”
"The temple that is supposed to be merciful to the world, and the temple of Pudu sentient beings is actually open to loans, donkeys rolling, and profits, all the villagers are probably no strangers to this, right? I heard that I borrowed two taels of silver from Qiuxia Temple, and when it came time to repay the loan, I am afraid that the principal with interest would exceed five taels, this is not a loan, this is simply a blatant robbery of money. ”
"I've often heard people say that catching up is not a deal, so should we condone such an unfair deal?"
"Can't!"
Chen Xu's words touched the hearts of the people, more than half of the people responded enthusiastically to his words, and tens of thousands of people shouted in unison, and the momentum was spectacular.
"I understand your feelings very well," Chen Xu waited for the crowd to gradually quiet down, and he continued, "I can better understand the pain of those people who can't repay the loans, and they can't afford to pay back the money, so they have to use the land as collateral, just like that, the land passed down by the villagers for generations has become the private property of Qiuxia Temple, do you know how much land there is in Qiuxia Temple now?" A conservative estimate is 300,000 hectares, which is all the people's fat and people's anointing, can we let this kind of thing continue? ”
"Can't!"
This time, the people in the audience shouted in unison.
Chen Xu nodded with satisfaction, "Now that Qiuxia Temple has committed public anger, and now it is finally time to seek justice from them, what we have to do is to break into Qiuxia Temple, destroy those unreasonable IOUs, return the land that belongs to us, and rescue those poor women." ”
"Folks, let's act together!"
With Chen Xu's words, the enthusiasm of the people was completely ignited.
"Help!"
"Go and take back the land that belongs to us."
"Down with the ...... of Qiuxia Temple"
“…… The bald donkey! ”
……
Before Chen Xu jumped off the high platform, he said to Qi An, "Qi An, you send Mrs. and Miss Zhen home first." ”
Gao Yi never hesitated to Chen Xu's order, he nodded yes; Yingying was a little dissatisfied, she wanted to accompany her husband.
Chen Xu changed his usual easy-going attitude at the moment, and his tone was even a little stiff, "Go home!" ”
Seeing Chen Xu jumping off the high platform, although she was wronged, Ying Ying didn't dare to refute......
There was such a gathering at the street entrance of the government office, how could Lord Yin Meng of Jinling Mansion not hear the news? As for the beginning and end of Chen Xu's "grudge" with Qiuxia Temple, he is not very clear, but he has heard a little about Qiuxia Temple's usury and land annexation, since he knew that Chen Xu was going to take Qiuxia Temple to open the knife, he was even mentally prepared to be a pawn, and this matter was handled properly, which was definitely a strong stroke in his political performance book.
Of course, the fact that officials at all levels under the government had taken sick leave made him quite puzzled, and he even wondered if there was an epidemic of plague, otherwise how could he take sick leave at the same time?
Chen Xu posted big-character posters and called on the people to hold a rally, Meng Daren at first thought that Chen Daren was just going to denounce Qiuxia Temple, and he was a little disappointed, but when he learned the slogan of "fighting local tyrants and dividing the land", he realized that it was not good.
Encourage the people to smash and loot Qiuxia Temple, what is Lord Chen going to do? Is he tired of being crooked? Once this matter gets out of control, it will be tantamount to a rebellion, and he will not be able to escape the charge of dereliction of duty at that time.
Master Meng watched from afar as Chen Xu led the people to flock to Qiuxia Temple, he was so anxious that he scratched his ears and cheeks, the enthusiasm of the people had already been stirred, and he could not do anything even if he stopped it.
Life and death were at stake, and Master Meng was lucky to gather his subordinates, only to suddenly find that no one was available. Seeing Chen Xu and his people disappear from his sight, Master Meng sat down on the ground in a daze......
Lord Shi Tongshi, the garrison of Jinling, also paid close attention to the development of the situation, and when he heard that Chen Xu took the lead in the "rebellion", he was simply overjoyed, and he was so sleepy that someone immediately sent him a pillow to sleep. Lord Shi is afraid that the world will not be chaotic at the moment, and the bigger this matter is, the better, as long as this can put Chen Xu to death.
Shi Tong was worried that he wouldn't be able to make trouble, if this fire couldn't be burned, he wouldn't mind adding firewood to Chen Xu.
Shi Tong listened to the latest development of the situation, thought for a moment, and suddenly called his henchmen and told him to send some trusted subordinates to carry weapons to blend in with the demonstrators.
As long as he sees blood, things are not worried, and Chen Xu will not be able to say clearly even if he has a hundred mouths at that time. (To be continued......)
