Chapter 192: Soup Kitchen

Regarding Qiao Shenghu's identity, Zhou An naturally learned about it from the memories of other Pure Land Sect members.

After Zhou An and the others set off from Qianjing, it took them a full eight days to rush to Shangshui County in Liangzhou, which was naturally extremely slow, if they walked quickly, it would not be a problem for Zhou An to rush to northern Xinjiang in eight days.

You must know that at the beginning, the war report in northern Xinjiang was 800 miles urgent, and it only took five days to get from northern Xinjiang to Qianjing.

And the reason why Zhou An didn't leave quickly was because, along the way, he had already started to investigate, and integrated the local secret security forces to open up a line that could quickly transmit intelligence.

Before leaving Zhongzhou, Zhou An had already destroyed the two Pure Land Sect altars, and he used his soul knowledge technique to read the memories of many Pure Land Sect members, and the information obtained corroborated each other, forming an extremely large "information chain".

And the initial information he obtained about the Pure Land Sect came from the Pure Land Sect's Young Venerable Cao Jing, the Left Protector Geng Qiunian and others.

The main thing is Geng Qiunian, this guy has been acting in Zhongzhou all the year round, and he is a protector whose identity is higher than that of the helmsman and elder, and the more he knows, the more Zhou An knows.

The Pure Land Sect has set up several sub-rudders in Zhongzhou, and Zhou An is clear where the positions of these sub-rudders are.

It's just that Zhou An's main purpose of leaving Beijing this time is not to destroy the Pure Land Sect, and he doesn't have so much time to delay, so Zhou An has not touched the rudder-level Pure Land Sect stronghold, and there is no need.

And it's not good to do that, because if the rudder is suddenly eradicated, the Pure Land Sect will detect the problem and take precautions.

Zhou An didn't want them to notice, so it was enough to move the altar.

He went all the way north, because the local forces of the Pure Land Sect must be interconnected, Zhou An destroyed the first altar, he could know some of the situation of the other surrounding altars, so as to find the second target, destroy the second altar, and also know the surrounding altars, including the rudder, the incense lords and other related information, so that the third target could be established......

And so on!

Zhou An "killed" all the way to Liangzhou.

That's why it took him eight days to get here, otherwise, he would have led people to gallop on horseback, and he would have been able to enter Liangzhou in two days, and it wouldn't take eight days at all.

Now, he is going to use Qiao Shenghu's memories to obtain more information about the Pure Land Sect in Liangzhou.

Qiao Shenghu is the altar master of Shangshui County, and all the Pure Land churches in the entire Shangshui County, those hall masters and incense masters must listen to his orders, and his top boss is the helmsman of the Liangzhou branch of the Pure Land Sect, and he must also know the altar masters of other counties in Liangzhou.

In other words, as long as he reads Qiao Shenghu's memory, Zhou An will have a relatively complete and clear understanding of the Pure Land Sect's power in Liangzhou, and it is possible to track down Prince Ning.

Of course, the premise is that Prince Ning really takes the route of Liangzhou.

In Zhou An's personal opinion, Prince Ning must have to transit through Liangzhou.

……

Zhou An looked carefully at the topographical layout map of Qiaojiabao.

Qiaojiabao is very large, if you count the long-term workers, servants, and family members, there are a total of seven or eight hundred people living in Qiaojiabao.

The drawings surveyed and mapped by Deng Yu himself are very detailed and have various annotations.

In terms of Deng Yu's strength of the earth's demons, it is naturally not a problem to sneak in and out of Qiaojiabao secretly, it is difficult to say who the strongest person in Qiaojiabao is, but Qiao Shenghu himself is just a low-grade earth-shattering realm, and the altar master is also so powerful, even if he still has a earth-shattering realm under him, I am afraid there are only one or two.

These people are tied together, and they are not Deng Yu's opponents, and the gap is too big.

It is the same as the Earth Evil Realm, the first-class master and the super first-class master are naturally different, the top-grade Earth Evil Realm can be called super first-class, and Deng Yu, who is perfect in the Earth Hell, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the top master.

However, even so, Deng Yu went for more than two hours to draw the picture, mainly because Qiaojiabao was too big, and Deng Yu still needed to observe to determine where some important people lived.

Among the seven or eight hundred people in Qiaojiabao, there are not many people who are listed as must-kill by Zhou An, no more than thirty people, all of them are descendants of the Qiao family, and other people from close tribes, such as Qiao Shenghu's cousin and his entire family, it doesn't matter whether they are killed or not, even if they are already members of the Pure Land Sect.

Zhou An is not a soft-hearted person, he knows that cutting grass must be eradicated, but it is not to the point of "connecting the nine clans".

Of course, it is mainly because Zhou An has too few people.

Just like that, there are more than 20 people, although the average strength is extremely high, and it is not a problem to kill hundreds of them head-on, but things are not done like this, and they can't make too much movement, otherwise a few important people are likely to take advantage of the chaos to escape.

This can only be an assassination attempt against the main character!

*******

Afternoon.

Outside Qiaojiabao, there was a lot of people.

Thousands of people gathered outside the east gate of Qiaojiabao, all of them were yellow-skinned and thin, and they all looked like poor people who could not eat, only a few of them wore tattered leather robes, and most of them wore straw clothes to keep out the cold, shivering in the cold wind.

Fortunately, although Liangzhou belongs to the north, it belongs to the south in the north, and although it is cold in winter, it is not so cold.

If they were in northern Xinjiang, they would all be frozen to death if they were dressed like this.

Qiaojiabao is going to hold a soup soup meeting today, and these victims who can't eat are all here to wait for porridge. More and more people dragged their families to come, and after about an hour, the number of victims gathered outside Qiaojiabao exceeded 3,000.

Finally, the east gate of Qiaojiabao opened, and a huge wooden cart was slowly pushed and pulled out by a group of people, and on the wooden cart, there was a stone statue one zhang high, and the stone statue was carved with a kind eyebrow and a kind woman, wearing green clothes, holding a treasure vase.

This is the Statue of Our Lady.

Seeing that the statue of the god came out, the victims gathered outside Qiaojiabao fell down and bowed down in pieces, some of them bowed according to the crowd, and some of them were extremely pious, and even burst into tears.

There were also a few people who were far away, who seemed to be coming for the first time, and did not bow down, and immediately suffered insults and curses from some people around them.

The statue of Our Lady is erected.

The porridge shed was also erected, and huge wooden barrels were brought out, and inside were boiled gruel.

The soup soup hall begins.

The victims should first recite slogans with Qiao's family, sing praises to the Virgin, and express their gratitude to the statue of the Virgin, and then step forward in batches, bow to the statue of the Virgin three times and bow nine times, and then take the lit incense from the hands of the Qiao family to incense the statue of the Virgin, and finally go to the porridge shed to get a bowl of gruel.

This is not the first time that the Qiao family has held a soup kitchen.

Originally, the Qiao family did good, and there were no such twists and turns, when the old man of the Qiao family was alive, he also gave porridge, that is, when the year was bad, he directly asked someone to set up a shed to give porridge, and the poor came over, and they could drink a bowl.

But since Qiao Shenghu returned home, the rules have changed.

In the past few years, the Qiao family has held dozens of soup kitchens, each time the shortest is a day, and the longest lasts for a whole month.

It's scary!

To the southeast of Qiaojiabao, in a forest.

Zhou An and the others all stood on the branches, looking at the situation in Qiaojiabao from afar, and were speechless for a long time.

There was a sudden commotion from Qiaojiabao.

But a middle-aged man in Chinese clothes came out of Qiaojiabao, and many poor people who came to drink porridge ran over excitedly, and knelt on the ground from a long distance and kowtowed to the middle-aged man in Chinese clothes.

"Childe, he is Qiao Shenghu." Deng Yu's voice came.

"Hmm......" Zhou An responded in a nasal voice, still expressionless.

"Childe, you say...... After Qiao Shenghu's death, what will the locals say about him? On another branch on Zhou An's right, Pan Yuanyu couldn't help but ask in a low voice, in a strange tone.

"Praise, remembrance, heh......" Zhou An said and suddenly showed a sneer, glanced at Pan Yuanyu and asked, "Do you think that Qiao Shenghu should not die?" ”
