After Tenglongzhai was seized, the people scrambled to spread the news that Duan Fei deliberately spread, and in the streets and alleys, there were people talking about it, and passerby A said: "Have you heard? In the flower garden in the backyard of Tenglongzhai, there are people who have died of pox! ”

Passerby B said: "I know, it was the Juntianjiao who did it, they pretended to be a ghost and said that people could prevent acne by drinking fairy water, but in fact, they made people faint, and then planted human pox, everyone knows that human pox is very dangerous, Juntianjiao is really poisonous, and they don't say anything if they kill people, they just bury people." ”

Passerby A said: "Isn't it just a goof?" I heard from the government that the Juntian Sect is the White Lotus Sect, and it has always been banned. ”

Passerby B said: "White Lotus Sect? I thought it was Maitreya, but it's all the same cult, no wonder it's so bad. ”

Passer-by C said: "Don't talk nonsense, the words of the government may not be true." ”

Passerby A said loudly: "The notice of the government is very clear that there will be a rash on the body a few days after the pox, and even acne, my neighbor Lao Li was fooled to drink fairy water, and now he is still at home and dare not go out, because he has a big acne on his face, will he drink acne if he drinks fairy water?" The evidence is conclusive, and if this is the case, you still speak for the cult, could it be that you are also a cultist? Be careful, I'll report to the officer to arrest you! ”

Passerby C hurriedly shook his hand and said: "No, no, I'm just talking casually, don't get me wrong, I'm also the most annoyed by the White Lotus Sect, thirty years ago there was a distant relative in Guangdong who joined the White Lotus Sect, and actually came all the way to Shaanxi to persuade my father to join the Church, originally his family was good, I heard my father say that he donated all his family property to Maitreya Buddha, the result was all the way to begging, opened his mouth and asked my father to donate 50,000 taels of silver to join the religion, if he didn't follow, he cursed our whole family to die, my father said to report to the official to drive him away, The White Lotus Sect really can't be touched. ”

Before there was much movement, the situation developed rapidly as Duan Fei thought, and everyone quickly accepted the fact that the Juntian Sect was the White Lotus Sect, and was extremely contemptuous and hostile to the White Lotus Sect, which was diametrically opposed to what Duan Fei expected in his heart, originally he thought that the people would have strong resistance, and he also made a lot of back-hand arrangements, but he didn't expect that the White Lotus Sect and the Maitreya Sect had a very bad reputation in the hearts of the people, and those back-hands were not used at all.

In the 21st century, the film and television works and history books that Duan Fei watched portrayed the people of the White Lotus Sect and the Maitreya Sect as heroes and righteous men who resisted tyranny, but what is the truth?

The White Lotus Sect originated from the Pure Land Sect of Buddhism, also known as the White Lotus Sect or the White Lotus Society, because the doctrine is simple and easy to practice, so the development is very rapid, the White Lotus Sect has achieved great development in the Yuan Dynasty, and the organization and teachings of the White Lotus Sect have also changed greatly in the Yuan Dynasty, with many sects and lax precepts. Some sects changed to worship Maitreya Buddha and preached "Maitreya is born", and some believers gathered at night to disperse, gather people to make trouble, and occasionally rebelled against the rule of the Yuan court, and the White Lotus Sect and Maitreya Sect began to become synonymous with rebels.

At the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, famous rebel leaders such as Han Shantong, Liu Futong, Xu Shouhui, Zou Pusheng, etc. were all followers of the White Lotus Sect. However, the White Lotus Cult was not eliminated, after the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the White Lotus Cultists rebelled almost continuously, during the Hongwu and Yongle years, the White Lotus Cultists in Sichuan, Hubei, Jiangxi, Lu and other places repeatedly rebelled, and some also built the Emperor and were suppressed.

After the middle of the Ming Dynasty, there are many kinds of folk religions, including Jin Chan, Wuwei, Longhua, Wukong, Huanyuan, Yuandun, Hongyang, Maitreya, Jingkong, Dacheng, Sanyang, Mixed Source, Wenxiang, Luo Dao and so on, the official believes that these different sects are actually still the White Lotus Sect, as long as the clues are found, all are forbidden, and the folk also generally call them the White Lotus Sect, or Maitreya Sect.

In the early Ming Dynasty, the economy was underdeveloped, the people were poorer, the White Lotus Sect was relatively easy to develop its followers, and in the Zhengde Dynasty, the economy of the Ming Dynasty had prospered, and the people did not worry about food and clothing, and the direction and means of the White Lotus Sect's development of believers had changed. They also have no good impression of the White Lotus Sect, and under the joint intention of the government, scholars, and wealthy classes, the White Lotus Sect and all the sects derived from it have become demon cults and cults in the eyes of ordinary people, and they are often avoided, but there are many sects derived from the White Lotus Sect, and many people do not know that it is actually the White Lotus Sect when they join the sect, so there are so many people who are fooled.

In short, the reputation of the White Lotus Sect in the hearts of the people is really bad, from the popular novel "The Legend of the Three Suiping Demons" written by Luo Guanzhong, you can know that the White Lotus Sect in the hearts of the people is like a monster, Duan Fei hyped up the White Lotus Sect's killing of people, not only did it not arouse much resistance, but after the people spread it wantonly, the White Lotus Sect's behavior became even more exaggerated and terrifying, and the slightest question will be despised by everyone, and even arrested by the officials.

Duan Fei didn't expect it to go so smoothly, so he had time to study the skeleton dug up in the backyard of Tenglongzhai, after careful excavation and sifting, a piece of white jade longevity lock was also found at the scene, Wei Tian confirmed that it was the relic of his youngest son Wei Yuanlin, and fainted again on the spot, Duan Fei had to secretly congratulate himself that he only told her the truth when he asked about the same, otherwise with Wei Tian's mental condition, where could he still find out?

Duan Fei took the Wei family's file in his hand and read it twice, confirming that there was nothing missing, and then ordered: "Shi Bin, go and bring Wei Hua's here." ”

After a while, Wei Huashi was brought in, she hung her head a little apprehensively, knelt in front of Duan Fei, and said, "The people see the adults. ”

Duan Fei sneered: "Folk women? You are clearly a rebel wanted by the imperial court! Hua Zhenying, this official asks you, how many years have you been married into the Wei family? ”

Wei Hua's maiden name is Hua Zhenying, she replied: "My lord, although I have learned the amorous magic skills of the White Lotus Sect, I am not a disciple of the White Lotus Sect, I have been married into the Wei family for 16 years, and I have no contact with the White Lotus Sect, and the corpse in the flower garden was not buried by me. ”

Duan Fei said: "You are really hard-mouthed, those nonsense words are useless to this official, you kill the province, you have been married into the Wei family for sixteen years, which means that Wei Yuanqing and Wei Yuanlin brothers turned against each other and Wei Yuanlin disappeared, you know very well?" ”

Hua Zhenying said in a low voice: "Yes, the women know something. ”

Duan Fei didn't bother to correct her anymore and said, "Then tell me, why did Wei Yuanlin quarrel with his brother a few times before he disappeared?" ”

Hua Zhenying pursed her lips and said, "My lord, didn't my mother-in-law already say it?" One word, for the sake of money, the little uncle is about to get married, he doesn't know who he was confused by, clamoring to divide the family property, and I want my husband to teach him the ancestral art of making food, according to the rules of the Wei family, the son is not passed on to the daughter, the eldest son is not passed on to the child, he is not qualified to fight with my husband at all, my husband casually resisted him a few words and he has nothing to say, who will take this matter seriously? How do you know that he was actually killed and buried in the yard, and he is afraid of people when he thinks about it. ”

Duan Fei sneered: "It's strange if you're afraid, to be honest, the official suspects that it was you husband and wife who killed Wei Yuanlin and buried him in the flower garden, do you have anything to distinguish?" ”

Hua Zhenying said: "I am usually afraid of stepping on ants when I walk, how dare I kill someone? If you don't have evidence, don't wronged people. ”

Duan Fei smiled slightly and said, "This case is very old, and the official really has no conclusive evidence to prove that Wei Yuanlin was killed by you, but ...... Do you really think that the official is going to find out about it? The announcement has already been posted, you plotted to occupy the Wei family's property, first killed Wei Yuanlin, and then changed, and began to lure Wei Yuanqing to join the Demon Sect, and used Tenglong Zhai to collect intelligence......"

Hua Zhenying raised her head, the corners of her mouth showed a hint of contempt, and only after Duan Fei finished speaking did she sneer: "What is the trouble of wanting to add crimes? I didn't expect that Duan's reputation as a detective was obtained like this, which was really disappointing. ”

Duan Fei was not provoked by her, and replied with a smile: "This official only cares about the result, after your husband and wife are beheaded, go and argue with Lord Yama in the Netherworld Mansion, take her down, detain her alone, do not allow her to exchange news with others, and you can gag her mouth when necessary." ”

Hua Zhenying chuckled: "Lord Duan is also afraid that I will spread the news that you have indiscriminately framed people for crimes?" ”

Yang Sen and Guo Wei dragged Hua Zhenying out, and they didn't know how they did it, Hua Zhenying's laughter suddenly turned into a whining sound and quickly went away.

"My lord, don't you really need to investigate this case?" Jiang Jun asked in a low voice.

Duan Fei frowned tightly and said: "I want to investigate, but unfortunately it's really difficult, you have also seen it, she is completely clean, and there are no clues left on the skeleton, even if she is tortured, she may not be able to recruit, her husband is only afraid that he has already fled after hearing the news, and it is not easy to find out the truth." ”

Jiang Jun lowered his head when he heard this, and Hong Bang said: "In short, it's either her or her husband, maybe it's a conspiracy to murder someone, and the adults don't mean wronging them, they just cut things off, what's the use of finding out?" ”

Duan Fei shook his head and said: "It's better to find out if you can find out, don't say anything else, it's good to give yourself an explanation, but it's a pity that I came to relieve the disaster by order, and I don't have much time to have fun with her, tomorrow when the situation in Xi'an stabilizes, I will open the city and go to Fengxiang." ”

Jiang Jun said suddenly: "The person who reported to the adult may know the truth, my lord, that person shouldn't be Shangguan Jie, right?" ”

Duan Fei nodded and said with a smile: "You are very smart, that person is indeed not Shangguan Jie, Shangguan Jie actually has no ability, he is simply a decoration in the Xunfeng Hall of the Demon Sect, these secret things in the hall will not be told to him at all, I brought him out just to attack the status of the Demon Sect Leader in the Demon Sect, don't tell anyone about this matter." ”

Jiang Jun and Hong Bang nodded, and Duan Fei said leisurely: "The affairs of the Demon Sect can be dealt with together when we come back, there is nothing to do for the time being, everyone go back to rest, ask someone to prepare hot water for me, I want to take a bath and sleep, don't call me if it's okay." ”

Soon after, two Ma Fu subordinates brought a large wooden bucket, and after mixing water for Duan Fei, he retreated, Duan Fei bolted the door, avoided the screen, and began to fade his clothes, and said without raising his head: "Since you have already come, why don't you come down?" A piece of bubble to wipe my back. ”

There was a chuckle from the beam, Guan Xiaohan floated down, and said, "How do you know I'm here?" ”

Duan Fei casually picked up the towel placed next to the wooden barrel and handed it to Guan Xiaohan, saying, "There is a smell on the body of those who have cultivated the Demon Sect exercises, and I can smell it ten miles away. ”

Guan Xiaohan pursed his lips and said: "Don't brag about it, it's okay to deceive others, don't think you can deceive me, you don't know I'm coming, it's just that you want to see me, so you drove those boys away, and then tricked me out." ”

Duan Fei smiled: "You are so smart, why don't you help me think of a way to find out who killed Wei Yuanlin?" ”

Guan Xiaohan watched Duan Fei sit in the bucket, stunned for a moment, and then went to his back to pinch his shoulder, and said: "I can only pick up a knife and make a sword, and I am not good at investigating cases, you should figure out how to do this by yourself, alas, I really didn't expect you to guess the meaning of that note so quickly, I originally wanted to tell you later, watching you cut melons and vegetables and capture the branches of the Divine Sect one by one, I am really conflicted in my heart." ”

Duan Fei said: "What's the contradiction, I'm not catching one and killing the other, those who don't do evil will be released after a few days of education at most, and those damned people don't need to be pitiful for them, your note is so easy to understand, how can you not guess?" You've done me a great favor, and I'll give you a credit. ”

Guan Xiaohan sighed lightly: "I, the White Lotus Holy Maiden, really don't like it, I actually helped you, the Qin Mission, to arrest the disciples of the Divine Sect, and I don't want you to take any credit, if you return one person to me like last time, it will be clear." ”

Duan Fei was surprised: "Who?" Shangguan Jie? It's impossible, none of the people who were caught are worth saving at such a great price, didn't you originally plan to give Shao Jiayu to me? Why did you regret it in the end? ”

Guan Xiaohan said with a smile: "It's good for me to keep Shao Jiayu, you understand, I don't want Shangguan Jie's waste, you keep him for fun, the more embarrassing the better, it's better to make the sect leader so angry that he vomits blood to death, then it will save me a lot of trouble, I want that to be lost, it should be no problem, right?" ”

Duan Fei frowned and said, "Want her?" Are you here to ask for someone for Shao Jiayu? Is it one of the conditions for accepting the Xuantian Great Protector? ”

"Clever!" Guan Xiaohan praised it and said, "Shao Jiayu, that old pervert, is quite infatuated with that pretty nun, in order to entrap him, I have to come to beg you once." ”

Duan Fei shook his head and said, "No, I have already decided to break away from the Demon Sect, I promised to protect her, how can I send her back again?" You can find another way to entrap Shao Jiayu, since he is a pervert, there are so many women in the world who are willing to sell their bodies, don't worry about not finding one he likes. ”

Guan Xiaohan said dejectedly: "I also persuaded him, but he just didn't have a chance, and I couldn't help it." ”

Duan Fei frowned and said, "Although Wuyuan is good-looking and has a good temperament, but from the perspective of the four protectors of the Demon Sect, he shouldn't be so addicted, right?" Xiao Han, to be honest, what is the origin of that fate? So Shao Jiayu is reluctant to let go? ”
