In addition, Yan Hong also organized the repair of the city and the reorganization of the guards. Of course, he only needs to nod his head about these things, and he has people below him to see them. The real focus is still on the interrogation of the White Lotus cultists and the corrupt officials who have been taken down.

The interrogation of Wang Xuan was simple. Under the previous executions, his psychological defense line has been completely destroyed. In addition, after hearing that the tens of thousands of White Lotus Sect troops outside the city, along with the Mongolian iron cavalry, had been completely annihilated, Wang Xuan no longer had any spirit to dare to confront Yan Hong, so he honestly confessed everything he knew. The inside process also made Yan Hong sigh.

This Wang Xuan was originally an ordinary tenant and cultivated with peace of mind. Shandong martial arts prevailed, and he also learned some self-defense, but he was not very smart. Later, one night, he found a night walker lying outside his house, seriously injured. Wang Xuan took him in out of kindness, but the man ran out of oil and dried up, and he had no skills to return to heaven. Before his death, since Chen Nai was the left envoy of the White Lotus, Xiao Fotong, he left all kinds of tokens, as well as maps, etc., designated Wang Xuan as the next left envoy of the White Lotus, and taught him how to contact the people in the sect, and then died.

Shandong is one of the hardest-hit areas of the White Lotus Sect, and there are many religious believers among the people, and the local officials are too lazy to take care of it, which leads to its ability to take root and grow strongly. It's just that usually, the White Lotus disciples don't resist donations, they don't resist taxes, and they are happy to be at peace, but there are people burning incense and preaching, and they can't make much noise.

Wang Xuan grew up in this environment, and his resistance to the white lotus was not very strong, so he didn't realize the danger of Xiao Fotong's entrustment, but instead thought it was an opportunity to turn over. He was a poor ghost tenant, and suddenly became a pivotal boss in the White Lotus Sect. There was also a fortune that was said to be so great that he could not have imagined. Wait to dig it yourself. He could barely resist his knees. Kowtow to thank the childless mother for her great kindness.

It's just that the treasure was sealed in the deep mountains of Lunan and Zhibei back then, and it was not a small distance from the village where Wang Xuan lived. Although Wang Xuan is not smart, he is not stupid to go home, he knows that with his own financial resources and manpower, he is not able to dig up this batch of treasures, let alone transport them back.

Therefore, he followed Xiao Fotong's instructions before his death. The two elders of the White Lotus Sect, Liu Chengyin and Qi Yuanshan, were contacted. These two elders were already in a semi-secluded state, but when they heard that the main altar of the Holy Sect was attacked and almost completely destroyed, it was an unshirkable responsibility to come out at this time to inherit the incense and revive the world. first took him to transport the treasure out, and then killed his employer so that he would not be found out in the future.

To say that the White Lotus teaches these wealth. It is not an accumulation of one time and one place. Since Manichaeism was introduced to China, it was Mingjiao. The Mingjiao congregation lived a simple life. He was frugal in his use of money and enthusiastically donated, so the wealth in the church was considerable. In the Song Dynasty, Fangla revolted, swept the anointed land in the south of the Yangtze River, resisted donations and seized the treasury, and collected a huge amount of property, although a large part of it was robbed by officers and soldiers in the Gangyuan Cave, but there are still a lot of those that remain outside. At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the Ming Sect and the White Lotus Sect merged to cause an incident, and this part of the property played a great role in raising troops.

At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Sect was merged by the White Lotus Sect, and the treasure was in the hands of the White Lotus Sect. A group of wealthy businessmen represented by the Shen family in Jiangnan were persecuted by Zhu Yuanzhang, and their children secretly contacted the White Lotus Sect and offered the rich and rival gold treasures. In addition, after the ban on the sea, some maritime merchants and pirates also corresponded with the White Lotus Sect, so they accumulated this mountain of gold and silver, and the place of its burial was only known to a few high-level people in the sect, and there were less than ten people in a lifetime, so that Zhao Quan's family, because it was all low-level, although he knew that there was this treasure, he did not know the location. Now, this large amount of money has gone into Wang Xuan's treasury.

Later, these two elders taught Wang Xuanwu and gave him advice, so that he quickly became popular and became the living god of wealth in Shandong. Of course, the general IQ of the White Lotus Sect is not particularly high, and although the two elders are experienced in the rivers and lakes, the pattern in the general area is actually lacking, which is not to be seen.

For Wang Xuan, if he continues to live in peace like this, it will be a good ending for gold bricks falling from the sky. However, the White Lotus Sect was not born to be a peaceful existence, and only thought about rebellion all day long. Liu and Qi had contacts with the Mongols outside the Guan. Even if Wang Xuan wanted to be a rich man with this wealth by himself, how could the two elders tolerate him?

Under the coercion and temptation of the two elders, Wang Xuan had no choice but to get on the thief ship, use this batch of heavy treasures to transport up and down, make friends with the government, and rely on the listening organ to probe the secret and arrest people.

After these several fortunes, several officials in Jinan have been held in their hands, one hand is money, and the other is the handle. With both soft and hard, how many people can not be hit? Therefore, it is not surprising that there is a miasma of black smoke up and down Shandong. Of course, these officials didn't know Wang Xuan's roots, they just thought they wanted to get rich and make money, but they didn't expect that their ambition was to rebel.

Due to the fact that the White Lotus Sect headquarters was on the border with Kuten Khan in the northeast, the two Mongol soldiers of Bala and China, who had agreed to this rebellion, took advantage of an attack this spring to cover the sneaking of a group of men and horses into the country after Kuten Khan agreed to this rebellion. Wang Xuan and others responded, disguised them as a caravan, and smoothly entered Shandong to hide. Wang Xuan provided food and consumption for all the needs, just for the rebellion, but he didn't expect to be buried here.

After Wang Xuan finished explaining the past, he seemed to be relieved, and said with a sigh of relief: "It's finally over." I was originally a countryman, and all I wanted was my wife and children to heat the kang head, make a fortune, and live honestly, which was better than anything else. But I didn't expect that the pie in the sky was not so delicious. got this money, was forced to rebel by the two elders, and even the family got into it after the end, and I didn't know if it was right or wrong to save the Xiao Zuo envoy back then. ”

Yan Hong sneered: "Wang Xuan, you saved people back then and were beyond reproach. Before saving people, who knows who he is, naturally he can't see death without saving. As for greed for money, such a large sum of money is in front of you, if you don't want to be tempted, then there will be ghosts, and you want to take it if you change your official position. It's just that you shouldn't go all the way wrong. Since you have all raised treasures, you are the living God of Wealth in Shandong, and there are ways to deal with those two old immortals. No matter how high their martial arts are, you can't kill them with some poison? Or hire some people who want money and don't want to die, the so-called ants bite the elephant to death, and they are not afraid of killing them after all. But since you have chosen the wrong path and followed their desperate rebellion, who is to blame now? ”

After hearing this, Wang Xuan couldn't help but sigh and said: "You officials are still ruthless, I can't think of these tricks." But my lord, now the people of Shandong regard you as a bodhisattva who saves the suffering and saves the suffering, and the people's hearts are attached, doesn't Lord Yan have any ideas of his own? To tell the truth, now you want food and food, money and money, and people's hearts. As long as you raise your arms and shout, these people will definitely listen to you, and an army of 100,000 will be available immediately. Moreover, you have countless people living in Jinan this time, this prestige, I have gradually heard of it outside Shandong, and the dragon chair may not be your turn to sit. Aren't you tempted? In life, you are so willing to live like this for the rest of your life? The rivers and mountains of the Ming Dynasty, I think the rabbit's tail can't grow, don't you want to live the emperor's addiction? Besides, no matter how high and powerful your Yan family is, it is nothing more than a minister. Although I don't read much, I have also heard people say that the ministers accompany the king, the sheep and the tiger, and there is no good person for a thousand days, and there is no red flower for a hundred days, so don't you think about it for the future? ”

At this time, in this torture room, in addition to Yan Hong and Wang Xuan, only Liang Rufei, Si Zongqi, and Xi Tong are all henchmen. Wang Xuan actually said something to persuade Yan Hong to rebel, and everyone's faces changed. The facial features on Yan Hong's face also stiffened for a while. After staying for a while, he walked down from behind the case and came to Wang Xuan. Although Wang Xuan was also a strong man who knew some martial arts, and he was regarded as a third- or fourth-rate thug on the rivers and lakes, but at this time, the big tendons had been broken, and he was tortured by a lot of poison, like a wasted person, and he had no ability to resist at all. Yan Hong flew up violently, kicked Wang Xuan into a somersault, and scolded angrily:

"Okay, you White Lotus Demon Man, sure enough, the thief's heart is not dead, what crazy things do you want to say to this official at this time? To tell you the truth, now the Ming Dynasty is politically harmonious, and the people are determined. No matter who wants to rebel, it is to push millions of people into the sea of blood, and they will be punished by God! People with this kind of thief heart, even if they can be proud for a while, it is difficult to get away with it, and the white lotus is destined to be a joke! You and your two elders are in the end of today's situation because they can't see through this! After that, he punched Wang Xuan a few more times. That Wang Xuan had already been tortured to three points like a human and seven points like a ghost, and after eating his punches and kicks, he couldn't see any big changes.

Yan Hong was angry enough, ordered the voice to take the person down, sat down on the chair angrily, and said to the fourth general banner: "Everyone has heard the words of this guy." The White Lotus Demon is really hateful, and when he dies, he still wants to demagogue. If I am known, I will be in trouble again. ”

Liang Rufei and Xi Tong don't care about it, and the four general banners are now close to Yan Hongke. The feelings of living and dying together will be put aside for a moment, just to say that they have received many rewards from Yan Hong before and after, not to mention that there is a White Lotus Treasury in front of them, as well as the rewards after the Great Breaking White Lotus Sect. The four of them glanced at each other, and Shao An said: "The villain has always been responsible for recording the confession, and the words spoken by the prisoner are not bad. I only know that this guy opened his mouth to beg for mercy and begged the old man to forgive him for his capital crime, which is simply an idea that can only be had if he is crazy. The law of the court, how can a few words of begging for mercy be gracious? As for the rest, the little one didn't hear a word. ”

Wang Ting was bold, and said directly: "Don't worry, sir, we all know what to say and what not to say." If someone casually spreads some nonsense, it will only be one more nameless corpse on the mass grave, and it will never damage the prestige of the chief. (To be continued......)
