Chapter 303: King Ning is also a sect member
Li Mao led the people to search for a long time, and only then did he find countless shivering merchants and people hiding there in the corners of the houses, so he asked loudly again in a loud voice, "Do any of you know where the main altar of the Manichaean church is?" The imperial court that stood up and led the way for General Ben will be rewarded with a bounty of ten taels! But his voice was like shouting into the air, and apart from the occasional panic, no one dared to stand up and speak up.
It wasn't until more than a dozen bad people outside Fanfang were a little frightened and ran in with sticks on their faces that the people inside seemed to calm down a little bit of panic. "My lord, my lord is them, they are the ones who cut down the messengers outside on the street......" Hearing the corroboration of the crowd, those unscrupulous people turned around and surrounded Li Mao and Cold-blooded. You...... Which guard are you, look...... Look at the clothes should be the brothers in the forbidden army, what's the matter? How dare you be a street brother under the blue sky and white sun, do you not know that the laws of the Tang Dynasty are strict? Put down your weapon and ......"
"Are you a bad person who maintains law and order in Fanfang? Came just in time, hurried to lead the way in front and led us to the main altar of Manichaeism, they bewitched the people of Chang'an, and they should be punished according to the law...... We are the Praetorian Guards responsible for the protection of the palace city in the 24 guards of the Tang Dynasty, and now we have enshrined the Holy Word to strangle the Manichaean bandits, and the innocent people must not participate in it, otherwise they will not be spared......" After Li Mao finished speaking, he tore off a waist card from his waist and threw it at the leading bad guy, but what surprised him was that the guy actually didn't even look at the token and retreated to the side of the people with a stick.
Then he turned around with his head held high and shouted loudly, "Big guy, listen, these people are not the guards of the imperial city, presumably the thieves stole the clothes of the guards and pretended, they obviously wanted to go to the Manichaean Church to rob the gold and silver property, don't be afraid that the Mani Saint will protect us, there are many of us, and dozens of them dare not do anything to us......"
"I'll go, are you kid also a follower of Manichaeism? So it seems that General Ben killed the opponent today, folks, don't listen to his nonsense, against the forbidden army to enforce the law, but to exterminate the nine clans, the nine clans know, uncle, aunt, uncle, aunt...... The seven aunts and eight aunts will all be killed! He deliberately pulled you into the confrontation at this moment, obviously to delay time and let that Mani saint escape, besides, if the Mani saint in his mouth is really so powerful, then why didn't he show up just now to protect their messenger! If the messenger is slain by us on the spot, how can you be protected by him......
Although Li Mao said hard, he could see the people and the Fanzu merchants coming out of the shop one after another, in fact, he gradually lost his confidence in his heart, after all, no matter how strong the thirty or so people were, I am afraid that they will not be able to withstand the siege of tens of thousands of people on this street, so after he said these words, he put his knife into the sheath and raised his finger to point at the leading bad person.
"Good boy, you are worthy of being a citizen of my Tang Dynasty, and your brain is quite good, but whether it is true or not, we will know it clearly after a while, and you kid will regret today's incident! Now the general is standing, you kid can't encourage the people to fight against the forbidden army, the big guy also saw it, we didn't force it in order not to hurt the innocent people, let's wait together, but you also have to help you take care of these bad people, don't let them run, if they run away, you will help the abusive brothers, and it is unclear when you get to the official yamen......"
As soon as Li Mao said this, the surrounding people and traders immediately turned around and fixed their eyes on a few bad people, and those bad people saw that the situation was unfavorable to them, and their faces immediately changed, and they put down their bodies and smiled very shyly at Li Mao, "This ...... This little general, laughing, laughing, I am the last deserter to patrol the street, where do I have the courage to help the Manichaean master, what does he look like, I have never seen it? It's just that I usually have some communication with Manichaean envoys, and you always know that we do drudgery, and sometimes we have to give some face everywhere...... You...... If you really serve the emperor, then the small ones will not dare to stop half a point, but there are a large number of people in this Manichaean altar, and you dozens of people rush in and kill them, I am afraid that there will be no return! Otherwise, we all collected our blades, and let the little one lead the way in front, maybe they will give a few thin noodles without having to do anything......"
"Oh! Your kid is very clever, and when he saw that the situation was not good, he started to do the wall grass, right, but what your kid said is also somewhat reasonable, if a few of you can lead us to find the main altar by making meritorious contributions, then let's go back to the Ming Sage is also a miracle, lead the way! The brothers are sheathed, but their eyes are wide open for Lao Tzu, and if anyone dares to play tricks and kill them on the spot, they will not show mercy......"
"!!" With a cold-blooded response, the thirty-five black guards immediately divided into two rows and sandwiched Li Mao in the middle, and the dozen or so bad people just now realized that the group of forbidden troops in front of them really didn't seem to be fake, but what made them wonder was that in the past, if the palace guards had action, they would casually pull out hundreds or thousands of people, but today these guys are not only murdering people on the street, but the number of people is really a little incomprehensible......
So the leading Liu San was also known as the bad guy who inquired about Chang'an, and took the opportunity to get into a relationship with Li Mao, almost "My lord, I don't know what you are doing on this trip today!" You guys are making a lot of noise, why did you kill someone in the middle of the city? After you kill people, pat your butts and leave, but you can embarrass us to death as the errand officials along the street, and several of our brothers are still looking at the corpses under the sun? Come on, brothers, this is the best betel nut in Chang'an City, let's chew a few pieces first...... To say that we don't dare to come in this workshop in normal times......"
Liu San chattered while handing the betel nut wrapped in yellow paper in his hand to Li Mao's eyes, it can be seen that Li Mao didn't mean to take it at all, so he turned around and handed it to the cold-blooded them, and was treated coldly again, Liu San didn't feel embarrassed, took out a piece and put it in his mouth, and continued to talk to himself. "Eh, you are all noble people, this little thing is not eye-catching, but it is really a treasure in our hands! It's a day when you don't chew a pack......"
"Eat less! Eating too much of this thing is not good for your teeth, what is your name, are you familiar with the things in Fanfang? In addition, when did the Manichaean Church become so arrogant and domineering, just now we have revealed the identity of the Praetorian Guard, and their law enforcement envoys still dare to disobey!! ”
"Shangcha, you are asking the right person, the big guys are called me Liu San, I don't know what happened on Chang'an Street, speaking of which Manichaeism suddenly became so powerful, how can I say that it started last year? It seems that since they added a new apologetic mage, this Manichaean school has become a little confusing, they used to just preach in Fanfang, and they were also quite low-key, and even often gave alms to those poor people, but since the second half of last year, they have changed their previous style and directly killed Fanfang to spread the teachings in other places, what light and freedom...... What sins in this life turn into happiness in the next life......"
The more Liu San said, the more evil it became, but Li Mao had already understood in his heart that this bad person who had been on the street for many years must be a complete old fritter, as for what he said, if half of it was true, I am afraid that he was a little overestimating him, but at the moment Li Mao really needs Liu San such an eight-faced delicate character to follow him, after all, he just killed people on the street and was also angry, and only after calming down a little at this moment did he know how deep the water of Manichaeism is.
Because just when their group of people gradually penetrated into the interior of Fanfang, some mysterious people wearing white scarves appeared in the surrounding alleys one after another, if it wasn't for the cold-blooded whispering to Li Mao, Li Mao didn't even notice it at all. "My lord, those people's hiding methods are quite clever, if they weren't for the early alertness of their subordinates, I'm afraid it would be difficult to find out, and now we're afraid that we've already startled the snake in the past, or ......."
"No, now they are not sure which side of us are the people, so I have reason to believe that they dare not fight with us, in addition, although the area of Fanfang is complex and the area is vast, but there are two north and south exits and it is expected that the building will be guarded, even if it goes out, it is difficult to hide traces in an instant, anyway, they don't want to go out of Chang'an City today, there is such a big murder case on the street, as long as Wangcai that kid is not stupid, he will seal the exits of the city gates first! Today I'm here to see which one of the deadly guys dares to play tricks at the foot of our imperial city......"
"My lord, they don't actually play any tricks, they do have some skills! Otherwise, how could there be so many believers to sacrifice...... I heard that the old mage is the god of light, any calamity and illness can be cured, even the leg disease of the old king Ning has been cured by them, otherwise how could they gather so many believers in such a short period of time...... A lot of people are really stupid, and the white flowers and silver are offered into buckets......"
"Who do you say ......" Li Mao heard the title of King Ning, and immediately the whole person was about to explode, Li Xian's leg was sick, he knew that he had a disease, and invited countless imperial doctors to see it, but it didn't get better, and later Li Mao could only think that Li Xian was because of the aging of the meridians on his legs and feet because he was old, so over time, he also let him cultivate in the house, in addition, after he imprisoned Li Longji that day, Li Xian also quarreled with him for this, and the father and son, who had been intimate for more than ten years, also had a lot of misunderstandings. -->
