On this day, less than an hour after the opening of the Yangzhou City Gate, Lin Zhao's Yangzhou Salt Transportation Division Inspector Ding and the river camp garrison and Caobiao about thousands of people, under the leadership of the general, directly surrounded the 45 courtyards of the Wenxiang Sect in Yangzhou City.

This day happened to be the day of the gathering of the crowd, each courtyard should be composed of more than a hundred people, and the sect members of the courtyard were almost gathered, but they had no weapons in their hands, and no one had time to fan the flames, plus they were caught off guard, and none of them escaped.

Within this hour, the 45 courtyard Wenxiang Sect members, close to four or five thousand people, except for the leader and the backbone personnel who were controlled, the rest were captured and sturdy, all tied up with ropes and connected in strings, and all of them were driven out of the city, and dozens of salt dices were placed at each city gate, and these people were not allowed to enter the city.

Then the rest of the Yanding, Caobiao, and Heying garrisons, a total of three or four thousand people, were divided into hundreds of teams, each divided into districts, and under the leadership of Lin Zhao's cultivated subordinates, they checked the shops one by one.

All shops that are forced to burn incense to worship the "gods" because of the incense religion will throw away the incense burners and the "gods" that are respected, and hang up the "pure" plaque.

If they continue to burn incense to worship the "gods", once they are discovered, then the shop will be confiscated, and the people will be dragged to labor camp for half a year and driven out of Yangzhou.

If it weren't for the fear that these sectarians would make trouble, who would be willing to burn incense and pay protection money?

Even if there are really those pious guys, in the face of sharp knives and guns, there is not a single one who does not do it.

Most of the congregants who were driven out of Yangzhou City were congregations gathered from all over the city, but there were also many natives born and raised in Yangzhou, who were begging for a living in the city, and thought that they would cry and be whipped, but they did not expect that as long as they kowtowed a few times to the city gate outside the city, and quit the Wenxiang Sect in front of the public, they could return to the city.

This condition seemed to be very lenient, but it was a few slaps in the face of the Wenxiang Sect, so the die-hard members of the Wenxiang Sect were all pale in the face.

However, for the natives of Yangzhou, everyone is not desperate to believe in what "smelling incense teaching", not to mention that this sect is not a great religion that has been inherited for thousands of years.

The ordinary people who came and went, regardless of whether there were any Wenxiang Sect members in it, looked at the people of the Smelling Fragrance Sect at the city gate, kowtowing like pounding garlic, crying and saying that they had been blinded by lard and had withdrawn from the religion.

I also saw a cart of incense burners pulled out of the city, those porcelain pottery directly smashed, those copper and iron directly flattened, Ping Suli carefully and awe-inspiring to smell the incense and teach what incense to teach the head, looking frightened and angry, but did not dare to do anything, did not dare to say anything.

This scene fell in the eyes of everyone, and the status of the Smelling Fragrance Sect, which Ping Suri felt was mysterious and terrifying, plummeted in his heart, and quickly became a joke.

The weather is just right on this day, there is nothing major recently, the painting boat of Slender West Lake is excellent, and the laughter of Mingyufang never stops, so all the masters have a habit of being late.

But everyone got up early today.

Whether it was an official or a businessman, they were all woken up by their subordinates.

Such a big thing happened, and the subordinates of each family are also spiritual people, and they would rather disturb their master's sweet dreams than wake up.

Before Tang Boen had eaten breakfast, Chen Rong, the commander of Jiangdu County, hurried over in a sedan chair, seeing that the county official's clothes were also a little messy, and it seemed that he was also in a hurry, and his clothes were not dressed.

But he didn't panic much, just a little unbelievable and absent-minded, and almost stumbled as soon as he entered the door.

Bingbei Dao Tang Boen stared at him, and he didn't have time to invite Chen Rong to sit down, so he shouted loudly: "Everyone go out, you are not allowed to come in without orders, in addition, Li Benshan, go and invite General Hou, go quickly!"

Li Benshan was naturally Tang Boen's housekeeper, and when he heard this, he immediately bowed down and agreed, and left as if flying.

This Chen Rong didn't treat this house as an out-of-town, let alone sit down to eat with Uncle Tang, but walked back and forth in the house a few times, suddenly looked at Tang Boen, and said: "Lord Tang, you have to take care of this matter, you and I both know what the little rabbit cub of the Yanguan family is doing, if this thing goes big, it will be a shock!"

"How to manage, how to manage Tang, Wenxiangjiao said that he is a good citizen, and he lives more or less on private salt, and now Lin Ruhai has been promoted to the salt envoy of the capital to turn to the salt transport envoy, and has the right to govern and dispose of the salt affairs under his rule, this official is in charge of the people, and the official can do nothing, can he say anything wrong, Wan Gonggong, Tang Mou has already told you, let the smelling incense sect converge a little, converge a little, the silver of the two Huai has been a lot, and it is necessary to develop what incense burning in Yangzhou City, sooner or later a day will cause trouble, you still connivance and connivance, how about it, now being embarrassed by this Lin Zhao, what can you do, you have to take advantage of that bit of cheapness, see how you explain！！”

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Rong immediately stretched out his hand and pointed at Tang Boen, his hands trembled, and he said sharply: "Lord Tang, you can't say that, the profit money was sent to you, and I didn't see you charge a penny, then the Lin family is like this, our family is unlucky, can you still sit firmly in this position, Lord Tang?"

As soon as Chen Rong tore his face like this, Tang Boen's face darkened, and then he turned around and walked a few steps in the room, then turned around and said:

"What are you yelling about? I am a soldier, who can I control? I can't even control his two followers! The one who can control the civil affairs of Yangzhou is you, Lord Chen, the commander of Jiangdu County!"

Chen Rong saw that he couldn't bite the other party, so he suddenly lost his sense of proportion completely, and said in a sharp voice there:

"Master Tang, you and I will go up together to impeach this Lin Ruhai, and use the soldiers and horses in the city in vain, harassing the good people, causing the people to be frightened and uneasy, saying that Lin Ruhai connived at his son to raise soldiers and horses privately, with bad intentions......"

As he was talking, he heard someone outside shouting:

"Master Li is here!~~~~"

Tang Boen and Chen Rong glanced at each other, they were silent, Hou Guangliang, the general of Yangzhou Staff, walked into the house, ignored Tang Boen and Chen Rong's sight, went straight to the Taishi chair next to him and sat down, looked at Chen Rong and said: "Chen County Order, don't expect the general to send troops into the city, now the city is quiet, the street has quieted, as usual, there is no chaos, this situation, this will not be able to send troops into the city unless he wants to die!"

"What, there are no soldiers on the streets?"

"How fast did he move?"

Tang Boen and Chen Rong were both stunned and couldn't help but exclaim.

In fact, when Chen Rong came, the road was already peaceful, but Chen Xianling's mind was chaotic and he didn't pay attention to this at all.

"From the opening of the city gate to now, it has only been three hours, and the Lin family has already broken all the incense sticks of the Smelling Fragrance Sect with thousands of people in the city, and in addition to killing all the backbone elements of the brain, it is said that the leader of the Smelling Fragrance Sect wanted to capture the Lin family as a hostage, but he was captured in less than one meeting, such an incompetent person can actually organize a big sect, which is really sighing. ”

Tang Boen and Chen Rong glanced at each other, both a little confused, and Hou Guangliang stood up and said in a somewhat hoarse voice:

"The march is fast, the order is forbidden, the military law is strict, and none of the masters who come and go high on the rivers and lakes have escaped, what a miraculous power and what a means of control! This Lin family not only has a strong force, but also came to Yangzhou in just one year, and has trained such a strong army, I now doubt that the emperor sent Lin Ruhai to Yangzhou, whether it was to rectify the salt affairs or to train him in the army!"

"The emperor sent him to train the troops?"

Tang Boen and Chen Rong glanced at each other again, and couldn't help but tremble.

The two of them are not fools, and they have not pulled down every issue of the report, knowing that Emperor Xiaode has gradually gained a firm foothold, this Lin Ruhai is about to rise.

But taking people's money is like killing their parents, this hatred is too great, and several people can't swallow this breath.

"Take advantage of this season, even if you can't get involved with Lin Ruhai, you have to peel off a layer of skin from his son!"

Jiangdu County Ling Chen Rong said viciously.

"Then what are you going to do?" asked General Hou.

"Hmph! There are people above him Lin Ruhai, and we are not weak above, taking advantage of this season, it just so happens that the Metropolitan Procuratorate can make a move!" Chen Rong gritted his teeth and said.
