No. 166 Princely generals, rather have a kind
"Stone Man...... Stone Man ......"
Zhang San ignored it and dug down hard.
He remembered very well that three days ago, he had buried the stone man in this location with his own hands.
I also made a mark at the beginning, so it's impossible to remember wrong!
However, the fingers are all worn out, where is the stone man?
"Stop, I'll let you stop!"
The overseer thought that Zhang San had lost his mind, so he cautiously took two steps forward, but he didn't dare to get too close.
Zhang San's eyes were red, and he muttered, "Stone man...... The stone man has one eye, inciting the Yellow River to rebel against the world! β
This time, the overseer in front of him had a green face.
"It's the other way around, it's the other way around...... Come on, catch the thief! β
In the crowd, Zhang San's accomplices saw that the situation was not good, and they rushed up directly and rushed towards the officials who rushed to them.
"The tyranny of the imperial court, the officials are unkind, everyone goes up together and fights with them!"
"Mo Dao Shiren has one eye, instigating the Yellow River to rebel in the world, and the Shiren has come out, what are we waiting for?"
"Princes and generals, rather have a kind!"
In an instant, dozens of people rushed out of the crowd from all directions, and all kinds of slogans were shouted loudly, and the scene was about to get out of control.
These people have been lurking for at least more than a month, busy spreading rumors every day, but to no avail, and today's stone man is undoubtedly their last chance.
A commotion immediately ensued in the crowd, and the officials and overseers at the scene were immediately facing the enemy, for they were surrounded in the middle of the crowd, and in this situation, they could not escape at all.
However, the situation did not continue to deteriorate, and the people were more interested in watching the excitement.
In the scuffle, Zhang San pounced on a melon-eating crowd, grabbed his arm, and shouted: "I've been waiting for a long time, what are you waiting for, let's go together!" β
However, the man he had caught pulled his arm back with a look of disgust.
Zhang San shouted: "If you don't do it yet, when will you wait?" β
"I'm sick!"
The man took two steps back, kept a distance from Zhang San, and continued to watch the excitement.
At this time, there was a noisy sound outside, and everyone followed the voice, only to see a man dressed as a scholar riding a horse, followed by a group of officers and soldiers, rushing towards the river embankment.
This person is Belin, Zhu Qizhen left him in Huai'an Mansion to check the accounts, but he seemed to be more interested in counterinsurgency, and when he heard that there was movement here, he rushed over as soon as possible.
Zhang San looked at the indifferent people in front of him, and his heart was completely cold.
"You ...... Rebellion, what do you see! β
He yelled hysterically, but, the next second......
"Whew!"
A mouthful of thick phlegm on the face, hot, sticky......
"The big guy has food to eat every day, money to take, and rebellion, is there something wrong with you?"
"That's right, my old man has never heard of such a good errand when he lives to this age!"
"Whoever wants to rebel is really a bad brain."
Hearing the words of the people around him, Zhang San almost spurted out the old blood in one mouthful, and roared: "Will a little salary buy you?" You fools, fools...... Hahaha......"
The people around him saw him crying and laughing, and involuntarily took a few steps back, lest the madness of their minds would be infected.
Belin rushed to the scene and immediately commanded people to control all the troublemakers, but there were still hard-mouthed people who were still struggling.
"Don't think that it's over if you catch us, Mo Dao Shiren has one eye, now that Shiren has come out, the world has ......"
"You're blind!"
Before the man could finish speaking, he was called on the head by a big bidou from Belin.
"What about the stone man, open your dog's eyes wide, where is the stone man?"
"Stone Man, Stone Man ......"
This person looked around, but when he didn't see the stone man, he turned his eyes to Zhang San, and his face was full of doubts.
He was far away just now, and when he heard the movement from Zhang San's side, he thought that the stone man was born, but where was it......
Belin raised her hand and commanded, "Come, tie up all these troublemakers!" β
Immediately afterwards, all the officers and soldiers rushed up and tied up all the troublemakers.
"Ahem, everyone's listening!"
Belin cleared her throat and raised her voice, "These people are all thieves of the White Lotus Sect!" Three months ago, the assassins of the White Lotus Sect went to Beijing to assassinate the emperor, but failed, and they were thieves, and when they saw that the imperial court had spent a lot of manpower and material resources to build the river embankment, they came to deliberately sabotage it, because they did not want to see the imperial court successfully repair the river embankment. The embankment is repaired, everyone is living a good life, who are they going to rebel against? β
Hearing this, everyone began to discuss, thinking that it was a group of neurotics, who had nothing to do when they were full, but they didn't expect that they were so deliberate.
Most of the people who came to repair the embankment were from the local area.
The Yellow River burst its banks, their farmland was flooded, and they suffered heavy losses, and if it were not for the large-scale recruitment of workers by the imperial court, I am afraid that many people would have starved to death.
When they learned that these people had hit the embankment of the river, they immediately became angry and cursed.
Even some people couldn't hold it back, rushed forward and punched and kicked Zhang San and the others.
"My mother-in-law and doll have been drowned, and now the court is spending money to repair the river embankment, you who kill a thousand knives, you still have to do something, right, I'll let you do it, let you do it!"
"Calm down, calm down, big brother, please calm down!"
Belin hurriedly pulled the people away, his task was to prevent the people from being fanned, looking at the indignant appearance of everyone, he secretly said in his heart, don't cause any more trouble because of his words......
"I understand everyone's feelings, I must be eager to kill these thieves with my own hands, but the court has the laws of the court, they are guilty of rebellion, and they will never be spared, now I want to say another thing!"
Then the crowd quieted down, and they all looked at Belin, waiting for him to continue.
"These White Lotus Sect thieves have been lurking for a long time in order to provoke trouble, according to reliable information, there are far more than these people, and the rest are hidden around everyone, just imagine, do people often spread all kinds of rumors on weekdays?"
After Belin finished speaking, the crowd began to talk.
"When you say this, I really remember that there is a person named Wang, who comes over every three or five times, saying that the official is deducting food and oppressing the people, could it be that he is also a thief of the White Lotus Sect?"
"Yes, we also have a person here who is very suspicious, everyone is discussing Keju, just he says something inexplicable every day, everyone thought it was strange at the time, but now I think about it, this person must be a thief."
"I've seen ...... too"
Seeing that everyone was talking about me and not being excited, Belin smiled with satisfaction.
"This official announced, anyone who catches the White Lotus Sect thief will be rewarded with five taels of silver, and if he can provide reliable clues and assist the official to successfully arrest him, he will be rewarded with two taels of silver!"
Airplanes!
As soon as these words came out, the crowd suddenly exploded.
Catch a thief for five taels, and provide clues for two taels, this is silver!
Ordinary people may not be able to earn two taels of silver all year round, so you can imagine how crazy this reward is for everyone.
Immediately afterwards, the vigorous anti-thief operation began.
There was a green light in everyone's eyes, and it seemed that everyone looked like the anti-thieves of the White Lotus Sect......
Belin returned to the camp and took Zhang San and the others to a makeshift interrogation room.
"Tell me, who sent you?"
Zhang San sneered: "If you want to get words out of our mouths, let's dream!" β
Belin was not annoyed, and gave an order to bring another person in.
"Now let's play a game, the rules are very simple, choose one of the two."
Zhang San was puzzled: "What do you choose one of the two?" β
The corners of Belin's mouth rose slightly, and she said, "That is to say, of the two of you, only one of you can survive." Hear clearly, there is only one! β
Zhang San's face changed, and he said: "Those who do great things, bloodshed and sacrifice are inevitable, and we are fortunate to follow the Holy Sect Master, and we have no regrets in this life!" β
"Don't be in a hurry to shout, this ......"
As she spoke, Belin took out a copper coin from her body and asked, "Heads or tails?" β
"What...... What? β
Zhang San didn't react, and Belin had to repeat: "I ask you, positive or negative?" β
"Positive...... Correct...... Or ......"
Before he could finish speaking, Belin tossed the coin, pressed it against the table, and slowly removed her hand.
"It's the opposite, you don't have a chance!"
Zhang San was stunned, what does it mean that there is no chance?
Belin waved her hand behind her and said, "Pull it down, cut it!" β
"Yes!"
Two officers and soldiers stepped forward, grabbed Zhang San and walked out, Zhang San suddenly became anxious and shouted: "Why me? β
"Because you lost!"
"Why...... Don't let him guess? β
In desperation, Zhang San had no choice but to point the finger at his accomplices.
The man looked at Zhang San in surprise and said, "Third brother, there is a death on the left and right, there is no need for this, right?" β
"Fart!"
Zhang San said angrily: "Didn't he say that one of us can live, why are you the one who survived?" β
"I ...... How do I know! β
"No, you guess!"
"I ...... Guess what! β
Seeing this, Belin picked up the copper coin again and asked, "Positive or negative?" β
The man didn't include the lake, and said bluntly: "No! β
Belin didn't rush to open it, but said, "You have to think clearly, I have already opened it once." β
"Lao Tzu is here to rebel today, of course he chooses to rebel!"
"Very good, this official respects you as a man, and when you go on the road in a while, I will definitely give you a good time!"
After saying that, Belin slowly took her palm away......
Zhang Sanxin jumped to his throat, and said silently, Pure Land Bodhisattva bless, when I get out alive, I will definitely give you a golden body!
"Instead, you won!"
Poof!
Zhang Sanyi sat on the ground and muttered, "Why, why is this ......"
Belin smiled and said, "You have nothing to say this time, come on, pull it down and cut it!" β
"Don't, don't kill me, I say, I'll say anything!"
Zhang San suddenly changed his tough posture and knelt on the ground trembling.
However, no one listened to his plea for mercy, and the two officers and soldiers, one on the left and one on the right, carried him and walked out.
"I said everything, the person who instructed us is called Yang Xiong, he is the protector of the White Lotus Sect, he is in Huai'an, I can take you to arrest him!"
At this time, his accomplice couldn't help it anymore and scolded: "Zhang Laosan, look at your little bit of talent, the scar of killing your head is just the size of a bowl, what are you cowardly?" β
"I don't want to die, I don't want to die......"
"You go first, everyone will come later, and you will be with you on the Huangquan Road!"
"Don't, don't kill me, I'll say anything......"
Zhang San's heart-rending howl, only to feel that someone was pressed to the ground, and then, the sound of a steel knife coming out of the sheath sounded behind him.
And then...... He rolled his eyes and twitched over......
When he awoke, he found himself still in the interrogation room, drenched in water, as if he had just been doused with cold water.
It's cold......
Mengdi, he realized, he could feel the cold, was he not dead?
He reached out and touched his head and neck, still ......
Immediately afterwards, a person came to him, it was Belin, who had just interrogated him.
"Thank you, thank you, for sparing your life!"
"Don't be too happy!"
Belin's face became gloomy as she changed from the way she had just laughed.
"You are guilty of the crime of rebellion, this official can give you a chance, but it doesn't mean that he will let you go!"
"I ...... The little ones say everything, and the adults want to know something, just ask! β
Zhang San didn't know that he only hoped that the clues he provided were valuable and could reduce some of his guilt.
"Say everything you know, everything you know, but if there is half a word false, you will never have a chance again!"
"The little one understands, and the little one will never dare to deceive!"
Zhang San swallowed his saliva and began to tell the story of the incident.
After listening carefully, Belin asked, "What is Yang Xiong's identity in the White Lotus Sect?" β
"He is the protector of the Dharma, and he is also the most proud protΓ©gΓ© of the sect leader, and the first candidate to take over the position of the sect leader."
"What does your sect leader look like?"
"Back to the adult, the little one really doesn't know ......"
"Huh?"
Belin frowned, her face extremely unkind.
Zhang San hurriedly explained: "The adults are angry, the little ones really haven't seen the sect master, my sect is very hierarchical, and a little minion like us can see Yang Protector at most." β
Belin asked again, "How many of you are there?" β
"There are 300 people in the Huai'an branch, and the whole country ......," Zhang San thought for a while and said, "There are roughly more than 20,000 people." β
Belin asked, "Only 20,000 people?" β
Zhang San said truthfully: "The small ones are talking about the brothers in the church, not including the ordinary congregants, because the small ones don't know how many congregants there are. β
"You should know where your sect leader is, right?"
"The little ones only know that they are in Nanjing, and they really don't know if there are more."
Belin paced back and forth a few steps, and then said, "Take me to catch Yang Xiong immediately!" β
"Yes, yes, the little one leads the way for the adults!"
At that moment, Belin counted five hundred soldiers and horses and came to Lichun Courtyard overnight.
At this time, Lichun Courtyard is full of lights and is in business.
The old bustard saw that the visitor was not good, so he asked with a smile: "This lord, why did you come to drink flower wine and bring so many soldiers and horses?" β
Belin was not polite, and with a wave of his hand, Zhang San was brought forward.
The old bustard's face changed greatly, but he said forcibly: "What is the purpose of this move, my lord? β
"Still with garlic?"
Belin pushed her away and ordered, "Arrest someone!" β
"Hey, what are you doing, there's a guest inside......
Belin led people to rush in and searched carefully, except for many unclothed men and women, Yang Xiong's shadow was not found at all.
It seems that this person heard the wind and ran away.
"Seal up the Lichun Courtyard and bring everyone back!"
