Chapter Seventy-Eight: Personally Investigate

Judging from everything in the White Lotus Sect in the past, as long as the people in the White Lotus Sect become active, then there will be a rebellion and uprising nine times out of ten.

If it was other heretical sects that were now preaching in Youyu County, then Zhou Chen's heart would not be too worried.

However, once these people who came to spread the faith were really the White Lotus Sect members who were active again, then the trouble represented by this would be a big problem.

If there was a rebellion under Zhou Chen's rule, no matter how prosperous he would be in establishing this northern Xinjiang mutual market, he would definitely be to blame.

Just when Zhou Chen was secretly pondering which sect was spreading the belief in the Childless Old Mother, Xu Yan, another Jinyi Guard, also stood up, thinking that everyone present had supplemented the information he knew.

"I think you should be all familiar with "Da Ming Law", right?!"

Looking at everyone in the hall, Xu Yan first raised an undoubted question, and then only heard him say in a heavy voice: "In the "Da Ming Law", burning incense to gather people and incite the people's hearts is enough to be punished with a hundred rods and exiled for three thousand miles.

According to the report of the Jinyi Guard's secret agents in the lower hundred households, wherever those occultists spread their beliefs, there will inevitably be a statue of the godless mother breaking through the ground not far away.

And the statue of the childless old mother is not directly from the ground overnight, but will grow a few inches taller every day.

It was with these visions that the mystical cultists spread the belief in the Childless Mother, and it was said that the Motherless Mother had received the belief of the people, so it was the result that little by little the ground was broken.

I didn't understand why the statue of the childless mother could grow a few inches taller every day.

However, in my heart, I can be sure that the statue of the godless mother who grows tall every day must be a trick made by those believers, specially used to deceive the people's hearts and beliefs.

Based on this alone, I think that these mystical cultists have violated the great law of inciting the people. ”

Hearing this, Tie Shaotang, who was sitting on the first chair on the left, suddenly frowned and didn't ask: "Since those disciples have violated the laws of the Ming Dynasty, can't they be arrested and imprisoned directly?" Why are you Jinyi Guards still so sad? ”

Hearing Tie Shaotang's words, many people present couldn't help but cast puzzled glances at Chen Yun and Xu Yan.

Chen Yun and Xu Yan shook their heads with a wry smile, but they didn't speak, but turned their heads to look at Zhou Chen.

Subsequently, the doubtful eyes of those people in the field also followed Zhou Chen's body.

Seeing such a scene, Zhou Chen couldn't help frowning, and he said indifferently with an expressionless face: "Evidence is also needed to arrest people.

This is not a person who catches one family and two families as before, many people have seen the vision of the statue of the godless old mother with their own eyes, and even began to believe in the so-called childless old mother because of this.

If there is no evidence to prove that those believers are really demagoguing the people, they will inevitably lose the people's hearts if they start to arrest people, and the prestige of the entire imperial court in Youyu County will be greatly weakened in the hearts of the people because of this.

If that time really comes, don't talk about the official himself, even all of you will probably be to blame. ”

After Zhou Chen's words fell, the expressions on the faces of everyone present were difficult to see.

Originally, they had already attached great importance to this matter, but they did not expect that this matter would be so harmful to themselves.

Although Zhou Chen didn't say it explicitly just now, they also knew very well in their hearts that if the hearts of the people in Youyu County and even Datong Mansion were really lost, they officials would definitely not be able to escape the hat of insufficient ability.

However, if these occultists are allowed to promote the so-called childless old mother, then in the end, when the belief of the childless old mother really spreads, they will definitely be punished by the imperial court for a serious crime.

"My lord, this is not a catch, and it is not a catch, so how should we deal with those who preach?"

As a member of the military, Tie Shaotang's temperament has always been very straightforward, and since he has a question in his heart, he naturally asked it on the spot.

Hearing Tie Shaotang's voice in his ears, Zhou Chen also didn't have any good ways to deal with it.

But in any case, Zhou Yan is the official of everyone present, if he shows an unconfident appearance, then where is the confidence in the hearts of the other people present?

Therefore, Zhou Chen's expression on the surface did not change at all, only to see him slowly stand up and say in a deep voice: "Go and change into civilian clothes, and follow the official to see the vision of the Buddha statue growing taller."

This official wants to take a good look at what these sects are doing! ”

In the previous time, Zhou Chen heard the report from the mouths of Chen Yun and Xu Yan.

He didn't actually see what was going on. So it's understandable that he doesn't have the slightest way to deal with it now.

After going to observe it in person, I wonder if I will find any clues and solve this matter once and for all.

After hearing Zhou Chen's command in their ears, everyone present naturally did not have any doubts.

These people went directly under the leadership of the county Cheng Su Tong and went to the county government back house to change into civilian clothes.

Although it was just some coarse linen clothes, it was just enough to hide their respective identities.

Zhou Chen is now planning to take them to see the so-called vision of the earth god in person, so as to find something wrong with it, so the more they can hide their identities, the more beneficial it will naturally be for them.

If a group of officials from Youyu County went to search with great fanfare, there was a good chance that they would be alarmed, and they would let those mysterious cultists destroy the methods they had arranged.

At that time, it is still a trivial matter to return without success, and if you really lose the face of the Youyu County Ya, you will have to receive the accountability of the government and the court.

So whether it's for secrecy or to be on the safe side.

It is best for Zhou Chen and the others to disguise themselves first, but then go to investigate the vision of the god statue as ordinary people, which is the safest way.
