On the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, Hao Ren felt that winter was always coming to an end, and a heavy snow blocked him in Ludezhou.

Dezhou was once the hinterland of the Great Yuan Hebei River, and now it is a border city between the Great Yuan and the Great Song Dynasty. Bored in the city, Hao Ren went to the Yellow River again. The banks were white, and soft snowflakes fell from the sky, so dense that Hao Ren felt that the Yellow River would be covered. However, the mixed Yellow River, which was several miles wide, continued to flow quietly, unmoved.

"Wanhu, when the Yellow River came from this side, it frightened us. Luckily, this was originally a river, and the water rushed from this side, but it only washed away the houses on the bank. The accompanying officer had nothing to say about the situation.

Although Hao Ren was silent, he actually listened very seriously. He still can't imagine how the Great Song Dynasty completed this project, allowing such a big river to change the course of a hundred years, or a river that is completely beneficial to the Great Song Dynasty. Hao Ren had to wonder if Taiwei Zhao of the Great Song Dynasty had some magical powers.

As he spoke, he saw several boats appear on the Yellow River. Hao Ren blinked, trying to determine if he was wrong. Looking left and right, he was sure it was indeed a ship. Pointing to the boat, Hao Ren asked, "There are still people crossing the river on a snowy day?" ”

The official couldn't help but have an embarrassed expression on his face. It is strange enough that the Yellow River suddenly drove to Texas, and it is even stranger for a 10,000-strong household to come to the Yellow River in Texas to watch the snow scene when he does not rest in the warm government office on a snowy day. Compared with these two things, it is not surprising that someone crosses the river in winter.

However, of course, the officials did not dare to criticize the problem of Wanhu, he could only look at those who were not long-sighted with indignation, and tried to explain: "Wanhu, originally the river here was only a dozen zhang. There's a bridge up there. The people on both sides of the strait are one family. ”

"Oh? I see! Hao Ren Wanhu was even more interested, he had indeed never seen this kind of thing of a relative becoming an enemy country in an instant. He asked, "Didn't Song Guo already send officials over there?" ”

The official simply told what he knew, "Two hundred miles away from here is Jinan, and now Jinan has been slaughtered and only the Han people remain." However, the Song State did not prevent the people on both sides from coming and going. ”

Hao Ren didn't say anything about this, he was silent for a moment and then pointed to the people on the boat and said, "Bring them here, I want to ask them something." ”

Seeing Hao Ren's firm attitude, the officials rode downstream with Hao Ren and them. Hao Ren realized that he was not the only one willing to go to the Yellow River at this time. In a place sheltered by a small dirt slope, there is a row of thatched huts, full of people, waiting for a ferry to cross the Yellow River.

I wanted to ask the people here about the situation, but Hao Ren Wanhu didn't do it. Even if there is an unexpected situation, as long as it is not to the extent of completely overturning the original plan, Hao Ren will stick to the old plan. However, Hao Ren asked, "Why are there two ferries?" ”

The official explained. The river carries the boat down, and from the point of view of physical strength, it is easier to send the fully loaded boat to the next ferry and then hold the empty boat upstream.

As he spoke, he arrived at the ferry. At this time, the ship had already docked, and Hao Ren brought the eight people on the boat with the guards. The guards and officials went up to surround them, forced them to search with weapons, and found several daggers and knives. Hao Ren didn't care much about this kind of short weapon, and it was surprising that he was completely unarmed when he traveled back and forth to the river.

Those people were brought to Hao Ren, and they all looked frightened, and they lowered their heads and didn't dare to say anything.

Hao Ren asked, "Where is your home?" ”

Seeing that no one was silent, the official became angry and drew his whip and gave everyone two blows. Now one of them spoke, "My family is from Liulitun." ”

Crackling and a few more strokes to the others, someone else answered where they lived nearby. However, three of them lowered their heads and didn't speak, and they were whipped a few times before they hummed and chirped the name of the place. However, when he heard their accents, they were not locals, and Hao Ren could hear that there was something in their tones.

After a closer look, Hao Ren felt that the guy at the head was a little familiar. And the guy in the lead also noticed Hao Ren's gaze, he suddenly raised his head generously, pulled out a big cross from the collar and held it tightly in his hand. After saluting, the man gave Hao Ren a bright smile, "Oh, dear Highness, may the Lord bless you." ”

Hao Ren couldn't help but smile. Compared with when he was in the capital, the clothes in front of him were no longer the robes of the Cross Sect, and there were no shiny things on his chest. But the high nose and deep eyes, the big tongue, the blue eyes, and the uninhibited smile. That's the one, yes. Hao Ren Wanhu had always wondered that this man always had the latest Song crosses on his body, but now he finally understood that this priest had come to do the smuggling business himself. I think the two next to him were his fellow Crucifixers.

Then, "Ah......" "Uh......" Hao Ren's guards made a sound. But seeing the blood splashing, the three Crucidian priests who were still smiling had already begun to commit murder. After taking down the four guards and two officials in an instant, the three of them each grabbed a weapon or two, and went straight to the ferry, which was about to leave the ferry.

Hao Ren's other guards either nervously protected Hao Ren or killed the five people who stayed in place. Hao Ren watched as the three murderous priests ran to the river, jumped into the boat, and forced the sailors to sail across the river with their weapons. A passage in the depths of my memory suddenly echoed.

“…… Freshly baked cloisonné enamel crosses, hot, Rinpoche cut the light. Look at this cross, the eight hearts and eight arrows ruby is transparent, self-grinding and polishing, with three eagle dog whistles on the mouth, and you press the ...... of the switchblade under the gem."

Hao Ren Wanhu once thought that this guy's shouting was a deception, but now he can finally be sure that the part about the switchblade is not an exaggeration.

The twentieth day of the first month. A series of public trials were held in most cases. At this time, the spring breeze and spring make the snow on the ground clean, and the dry and cold air of winter is filled with a moist feeling. On days like these, travel also becomes pleasant. When I saw the people of the brigade dressed in various sect costumes, their clothes in tatters, tied with ropes tied in large strings, and they were escorted down the street by officers and soldiers. When the people pointed and pointed, they became even happier.

Everyone had a sign on their back that said "Hustler XXX".

"Isn't that the demon monk of Wudaokou?"

"Demon monk? What did he do? ”

"High monk. Demon monks, liars. He said he could walk on fire, but he never demonstrated it. Later, he was arrested by the government! ”

……

"And that demon way! Also surnamed Gao! ”

"High Demon Dao, High Demon Monk. The Gao family is really outstanding. ”

……

"The Crucidian priest said every day that the end of the world was coming, and he believed in God's peace. Also caught. ”

"Isn't the white-robed one from the Ming Sect, why was he also arrested?"

"Mingjiao also says the end of the world."

"We have Mingjiao over there, and I asked a lot of people last year when they were making trouble about the end of the world, and they explained that they don't talk about the end of the world. They are saying that the world of light is going to destroy the world of darkness. ”

……

"And the ones of the True God. How were they also bound? ”

"Oh, the sign says that it is a big sin not to eat the cattle and sheep killed by the Mongols."

This large group of people walked the streets and alleys, and everywhere they went, there was a burst of controversy. When providing topics, there are people and children who can't help but pick up things and throw them away. These people could only endure it, but a few of them couldn't help but be ruthless at the people who threw things, and the officers and soldiers came up with a few whips to cover their heads, and when they landed, they knocked out their arrogance, and even made everyone laugh.

After three days of parade in the streets, the public trial began. Jingzhao Yin Lian Xixian accepted Hao Renwanhu's suggestion, and this public trial would not really deal with these people. It's just a humiliating way to let the people know what the end of the propaganda is like. So the whole trial was much more entertaining than deterrent.

"Monk Gao, did you draw this document?" The official asked loudly.

"Yes." Monk Gao replied angrily.

"It is written in the paperwork, you swear that in the second year of the Great Yuan Dynasty, the world will be over. As long as you receive your hand-copied scriptures, you will be safe and sound. But really? ”

Before the high monk could speak, the people below who were listening to the trial had already burst into laughter. Although more than 90% of them were frightened by various apocalyptic theories in the first year of the Great Yuan Dynasty, on the 23rd day of the first month of the third year of the Great Yuan Dynasty, they laughed at the doomsday dealers with joy and confidence. Some people in the audience even threw a few small pebbles at Monk Gao, so the atmosphere became more lively.

In fact, again, Monk Gao has no way to defend himself. And Kyungzhao Yoon Yeon Hee-heon had already ordered not to hurt their lives, and the trial was quickly concluded. The high monk was slapped in public for 20 years and sentenced to three days of shackles for public display.

Rinpoche, the demon monks, the demon Taoists, and the priests, all who sold the end of the world were taught a lesson, and their face was greatly damaged in public, and then they were slapped in public for twenty years, and they were sentenced to three days of shackles.

When it was Mingjiao's turn, the situation was a little different. The reason why the Mingjiao followers were arrested was that they openly declared through religion that the duel between good and evil would destroy the present world, which was ruled by darkness.

Although these people do not promote the end of the world, they create panic for profit. But when Da Yuan is in power, where will this kind of slander of Da Yuan be allowed. The punishment for these people was heavier, and each of them was given twenty lashes first.

The last one is the Cult of the True God. These people were severely punished by the order of the crown prince Zhenjin. Lian Xixian is naturally very attentive. The crimes of these people were not understood by the common people at first, and the Mongols did not promote their religion. Just tell the people that all the people who sell beef and mutton are the same. The beef and mutton killed by the Mongols can not be sold, but it cannot be said that it is not clean. And the reason why the true God teaches is that it talks nonsense. In Dayuan, it is sinful to talk nonsense!
