Inside a mountain villa in Foshan, Guangzhou. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

The patriarchs of the Zhang, Wang, Li, and Hu families gathered together, and a hand full of jade and jade wrenches gently uncovered the lid of the white jade teacup, and the hot air rose up, and it was immediately brushed away.

"Is there any movement from the traitor?"

"Yes." Zhang Wenshan, the patriarch of Zhangjia Village, bowed his head respectfully, his eyes only dared to look at the fingers of the person who spoke, and he did not dare to cross in the slightest, "It is said that Li Chao, the leader of the traitors, personally came out of Guangzhou City and came to our side. ”

"Supposedly?"

"Because the news that came this time is too bizarre." Zhang Wenshan lowered his head even lower, "It is reported that Li Chao, the leader of the traitors, and the one named Xie Li rode in a black ghost car. ”

"Ghost cars?"

"Yes." Zhang Wenshan said helplessly: "Legend has it that when the car is moving, thick black smoke will come out of it, Wong Tai Sin said that inside the black smoke is the three souls and seven souls of people, and the traitor uses the three souls and seven spirits of people to create a fast ghost weapon." ”

After speaking, Zhang Wenshan added, "But I don't believe it." ”

"Why?"

"What virtues does Wong Tai Sin have, I don't know yet? If he had the ability, would he still be like that? Zhang Wenshan pursed his lips and disdained Huang Daxian in his mouth, that kind of thing, even if he deceived Shengdou Xiaomin, he was a person like the head of a clan, who was almost a refiner, and was a little stunned.

The man with jade and jade wrenches on his hands was an old man, about sixty or seventy years old, wearing silk and satin, and his hair was tied into a money rat braid.

"It's okay if you don't believe it." The old man picked up the teacup, glanced at Zhang Wenshan, then took it back, handed the teacup to his mouth, took a sip gently, and moistened his throat, "The important thing is that the villagers believe." ”

"Only if the villagers believe that they will unite to stop the thieves from building this railway, so that they cannot open to traffic, and pave the way for the children of the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty to assemble and attack Guangdong."

"Man, is a very magical creature, when he is alone, he is as timid as a mouse, and when he encounters things, he will be submissive, even if he is wronged and scolded in his heart, he will not say it, let alone take practical action."

"But if he is not alone, if there are many like-minded people together, they will become bold, even the one in the Jinluan Palace...... Ahem. The old man coughed twice, and the phrase 'pull off the horse' reached his mouth and swallowed it back, "In short, we must connect them together, so that they will have the courage to stop the rebels." ”

"If the thieves are appeased, they won't be able to build that railway." He didn't know what the railroad was for, but if the enemy valued it, he would destroy it, "If the traitors start to kill, they will lose the hearts of the people." ”

"Since ancient times, those who win the hearts of the people win the world, even if it is my Qing Dynasty, it is because of the destiny of heaven that they can enter the Central Plains, and if the traitors lose the hearts of the people, they will not have to worry."

"Zhang Wenshan, what Wong Tai Sin, he wants to feed him, let him encourage the villagers to oppose the railway, if necessary, you can scatter all the family wealth, as long as the court drives away the traitors, you are the first credit, and when the time comes, all the family wealth can be taken back."

"Yes." Zhang Wenshan bowed his head and responded, the money rat braid on the back of his head was warped, this is a fake braid, after the New Chinese Empire captured the county seat, everyone was asked to cut off the money rat braid, he cut it off in order to survive at that time, and this one was bought from other provinces with great effort, "Zhang Wenshan will definitely do his best." ”

"It's not about trying, it's about doing it." The old man said coldly, "If you do it well, the court will be rewarded, but if you don't do it well, the court will also be tortured." ”

"Yes, Wenshan will definitely do it."

"****." The old man's eyes sharpened in vain, "You people in Wangjia Village don't care much about opposing the construction of the railway, just a few people participate, this is a matter that His Majesty the Emperor is concerned about, has your Wangjia Village already betrayed the imperial court?" ”

"Nope." Zhi hurriedly lowered his head in fear, and he didn't dare to come out, "It's not that Min Zhi doesn't care, it's not that Min Zhi doesn't do his best, but the villagers of Wangjia Village are timid and don't dare to go against the traitors." ”

"Don't dare?"

The old man 'swayed' and put the teacup on the table, and the **** who lowered his head immediately lowered his head in fright, "Why don't you dare?" ”

"It's just a matter of rebelling against the yamen and making trouble, haven't you never done it? Where did your courage go in resisting taxes and forced labor? ”

"And you didn't tell them? When the railway is built, it will destroy the feng shui of your ancestors, make the ancestors of your Wangjia Village unpeaceful, and destroy the crops, pollute the earth, let the men die, and the women will not get pregnant. ”

Zhi didn't speak, his lowered face was full of confusion.

Destroying feng shui, disturbing the peace of ancestors, men dying, and women not getting pregnant, these curses are so vicious that they will be blessed.

But he didn't dare not say it, the one in front of him represented the Qing Dynasty, although the Qing Dynasty temporarily lost Guangdong Province, but with the power of the Qing Dynasty, these thieves could be exterminated immediately, and if he didn't listen to this old man, what if he settled accounts after the autumn?

"I ......."

"No need for 'me'." The old man stood up and paced on the black wooden board, "I didn't plan to ask you to say it, you can go to a very 'effective' goddess or a great immortal to say, remember, if you want to be 'effective', if he doesn't work, you have to make him become 'effective', do you understand?" ”

"Got it."

The goddess and the great immortal themselves have no identity, the reason why they can get the trust of the villagers is completely dependent on their own 'magic', the more 'magical' the goddess and the great immortal are trusted by the villagers, as for how they 'benefit', of course, they have to play some tricks.

The most common is the double reed, and then there are all kinds of charlatans and tricks.

"Li Zimo, you have done a good job of agitating the villagers, but I want you to continue to contact other villages, if one of them is oriented to the Great Qing, you will absorb him, but if someone is a rebel, find a way to get rid of him."

"Hu Yuanhua, you go to inquire about the whereabouts of the leader of the traitors, I don't want to know his every move, but I want to know where he goes every day, I must know this, you can't make any mistakes, if there is, I promise, your end will be miserable."

"Four, the time has come to serve me to the death, and my loyalty will not be forgotten by the Qing Dynasty."

After the four patriarchs left, the old man sneered, "Since ancient times, the countryside is the cornerstone of rule, the traitors occupy the county seat, but they do not occupy the countryside, this is the way to die, I Hong Yi'an will make it difficult for your decree to move an inch, and when the time is ripe, you will usher in my Eight Banners Army of the Qing Dynasty." ”
