Chapter 269: Our Lady of the White Lotus as a Concubine

The purpose of Hong Shixing's visit is also simple, and it is in Jia Cong's arms.

Yanzhou Mansion can be said to be rotten, since the government has experienced more than the department, almost the entire army has been wiped out, and they have all participated in corruption and dereliction of duty.

The dragon guards who accompanied him interrogated him for a while, and Liu Ke, who was angry, asked for the Son of Heaven Sword and wanted to go to the prison to slaughter this group of national thieves.

If it weren't for the persuasion of Jia Cong and Lu Xiaozu, it is estimated that all the officials of the Yanzhou Mansion would have to go to the Hades Palace to report.

Of course, Jia Cong and Lu Xiaozu are not interceding for this group of national thieves, the money and grain that disappeared from the treasury have not been found out yet, there must be people behind them, and the matter of the gangsters in Yanzhou may be related to the government officials, everything is inextricably linked.

Wouldn't it be too cheap for them to cut it like that.

Guilty of meritorious service or something, Jia Cong didn't consider giving this group of people a chance at all, of course, this also caused Lu Xiaozu to do the work of ten people almost alone in the past two days, if it wasn't for Guo Lindong to bring someone to help, it is estimated that he would have been tired and would have fallen down.

Although the Thousand Households of the Dragon Guards in Yanzhou also followed the people of the government office, the local information was quite complete.

Hong Shixing has been an official for 20 years, probably because he is in the countryside and cares about his reputation, and his official reputation and reputation are not bad.

The reason for the resignation is also a little subtle, and it seems to have offended the former Ziyang County Commander and the current Yanzhou Tongzhi Mu E.

And Mu E's father-in-law is now the political envoy of Shandong Chengxuan, who is the right to participate in politics.

Kong Renxun, the grandson of the Yansheng Gongfu, the cousin of the contemporary Yansheng Gong Kong Renxuan, is one of the few officials in the Confucian family.

The government and the county government of Ziyang County, where the government is located, have been imprisoned from the prefect down, and the same knowledge, general judgment, magistrate, county order, county magistrate, etc., have all been imprisoned.

The biggest problem in front of Liu Ke and others is no longer money and food, but a shortage of people, and there is a lot of shortage.

No one dared to say when they would receive a response, Liu Ke was impatient with these things, and handed them all over to Jia Cong and Lu Xiaozu, and he arranged troops every day and began the great cause of suppressing bandits.

"Don't hide it from the outside of the Hong staff, if the staff does not come today, the official will also go to the house of the staff in person. You should have heard about the government and the county government of Ziyang County, and the official is now in urgent need of manpower, and the fact that outsiders can come can be regarded as a great help to the official."

Jia Cong didn't go around the bend, and raised his hand to invite Hong Shixing to sit down.

A cup of tea calmed Hong Shixing's excitement a little, and he listened to Jia Cong continue: "The prince is busy with the suppression of bandits, and almost all the government affairs in the palace are pressed on the official and Lu Langzhong, and the official is worried that there is no manpower."

Hong Shixing immediately replied: "Your Excellency, but you have been sent, don't dare to disobey in the future, and please ask your Excellency to give orders."

has been a county magistrate in Yanzhou for more than 20 years, and his official reputation and reputation are good, which shows that Hong Shixing is a very capable person.

Jia Cong was in charge, and asked for several official certificates stamped with the Great Seal of Qincha from Liu Ke, and temporarily drafted the order of Ziyang County on behalf of Hong Shixing, responsible for all affairs of Ziyang County.

And Jia Cong didn't even let go of Hong Shixing's idle son at home, and heard that he was good at managing money, so he was transferred to Lu Xiaozu with a decree, and was given the title of counselor from the seventh grade.

The city gate pillar, with Hong Shixing as an example, the gentry of the city who were still watching were more or less moved.

For three days in a row, Jia Cong sat firmly in the mansion, and more than a dozen heads of families visited one after another.

Under the recommendation of Hong Shixing, coupled with the private investigation by the spies of the Long Guard, Jia Cong drew up the candidates for the temporary acting government office, the county government office, and the full Qin mission, and after reporting to Liu Ke, the appointment documents were sent to each family on the afternoon of the third day.

Finally, on the morning of the sixth day of Qincha's stationing in Yanzhou Mansion, the Yanzhou Mansion and Ziyang County Mansion, which had almost stopped, officially resumed operation.

Dangdangdang......

The bell rang loudly, and Jia Cong, who was buried in the case, raised his head suddenly.

The heavy snow that has been falling for several days has finally stopped, and I was originally scheduled to go outside the city to inspect the disaster relief this afternoon, and I didn't want the alarm bell to suddenly sound.

Jia Cong got up and pushed the door and walked out of the duty room, only to see a forbidden army captain walking in quickly.

"My lord, the scouts are ten miles north of the city

About 10,000 unidentified people and horses were found, and they were attacking the city!"

"Where is the prince now?"

Jia Cong's report from the lieutenant surprised Jia Cong, the north side of Yanzhou is Ningyang County, and Liu Ke just set off to Ningyang with his troops yesterday to suppress bandits.

Because the surrounding area of Fucheng was still stable, Ren Chengwei was ordered to divide his troops into two routes, and went to Qufu County in the east and Jining Prefecture in the east, and there were only 1,500 forbidden troops and 2,000 Ren Chengwei in Fucheng at present.

The lieutenant clenched his fists and replied, "The messenger just left this morning, and there is no news yet."

"Give an order to the Ren City Guard Battalion, and all the remaining men and horses who are transferred to the City Guard Battalion will enter the city. Then Guo Lindong was ordered to suspend the river control and let him take people to Jining Prefecture and not to get close to the Fucheng area. All the people outside the city entered the city, and the four gates were closed, and no one was allowed to enter the city without the order of the officer."

"Drumming Gathering!"

Knock knock knock......

The sound of drums shook the sky, and two quarters of an hour later, including the Qincha Xingyuan, the Yanzhou Mansion Ya, and the Ziyang County Yamen, gathered in the Yanzhou Mansion Yamen Hall.

After everyone sat down, Jia Cong took out the scout emergency report he had just received.

"You should have received the news that more than 10,000 bandits from the White Lotus Sect bypassed Qufu and came straight to Fucheng along Surabaya. According to the scouts' investigations, the bandits came prepared, not only in large numbers, but also with siege equipment......

Rumble!

The people in the hall immediately blew up, and most of the people in the city attacked everywhere to suppress the bandits, and the troops in the city were empty, which is a well-known thing.

At the moment, thousands of bandits with weapons attacked, and they were all a little inexplicably afraid.

The tragic situation of the Yan family can be seen in everyone's eyes, the group of White Lotus Sect bandits who shouted to help the people save the world did everything to burn, kill, rob and torture, it is said that the nine-year-old girl of the Yan family was stripped naked, and I don't know how many sins she suffered when she died.

The silt originated from the chaos of Qi, and the white lotus appeared in a prosperous world.

How great and righteous the slogan is, but in fact, the White Lotus Sect has long lost its original appearance, and it is simply burning, killing, robbing, and abusing the female cadre Yin.

The Yan family has a reputation for benevolence in Yanzhou and even in the whole of Shandong, and Yan Hui, the head of the Yan family, is a great Confucian in Shandong, who has been obsessed with teaching and educating people all his life, and there has been no evil son in the clan for decades.

The tenants of Yanzhou Mansion who want to rent the most are definitely the Yan family's land, because the Yan family's land only collects 30% of the rent.

In such a good family, the old house was burned, and all the nephews and nephews left behind by the family died, and even the nine-year-old girl was humiliated to death.

In order to protect the lord's family, the servants of the family and the tenants who rented the fields of the Yan family died and injured more than ten people.

Such a tragic situation made everyone present extremely frightened.

The Yan family is like this, let alone them. If it is really attacked by the White Lotus Sect into the city, it is estimated that one of the people here will be counted as one, and they will all have to be skinned and filled with grass.

Knock knock!

Jia Cong knocked on the table, and the lobby that was in an uproar finally fell silent.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the most important thing for us at the moment is to ensure that the city is not breached by bandits, and the prince and the army of Ren Chengwei will definitely rush back to rescue after receiving the news."

Hong Shixing is quite calm, and the city of Fucheng is strong, if he just sticks to it, he should be able to hold on. Of course, this depends on whether the grain and grass in the city are sufficient, and whether the people support the government's plan to defend the city.

He put forward his own views and stated that the Hong family was willing to send young and strong people to the city to help in the war.

Someone raised their heads, and the rest naturally understood that their group of people was the number one target of the White Lotus Sect's bandits, and they all expressed their stance that only Lord Yu Mao was looking forward.

There is plenty of food and grass in the city, and the only thing that is lacking now is the men and horses guarding the city. Jia Cong was not ambiguous, and directly ordered Hong Shixing, the order of Ziyang County, to recruit troops on the spot, and recruit young people in the city to supplement the shortage of troops defending the city.

At the same time, he ordered LĂź Xiaozu to collect grain from the city and implement a temporary rationing system. The gentry and wealthy merchants' families and guards were all recruited into the army, and a wartime curfew system was implemented in the city.

Then he ordered the scouts to set off in the four directions of southeast, south, and northwest, and informed the villages and towns along the way, near the city and into the city, and near the mountains and mountains to avoid the bandits......

In the middle of the chicken, flying and dog jumping, the bandits of the White Lotus Sect finally arrived outside the north gate of Yanzhou Mansion.

Jia Cong is dressed in silver armor and is on the left

Yanling knife, hanging the golden sword and gold medal on the right, his face was calm, and he stood in the Beicheng tower surrounded by his own soldiers.

Lu Xiaozu looked at the black and oppressive bandits under the city, opened the booklet he was carrying, looked at it, and said to Jia Cong, "My lord, look at this banner, it is Han Tong, the king of the White Lotus Sect in Tai'an Prefecture."

"King Ming, he also deserves the word King Ming? It's just a thief who tramples on the flesh and blood of the people!"

Jia Cong spat at the people under the banner of Mingzi under the city, this Han Tong is also a person who often enters the mansion, and the court's reward for him has accumulated to a high price of 50,000 taels of silver.

In the 49th year of Zhaowu, this person took advantage of the drought in Qingzhou to rebel, causing chaos in the entire Qingzhou Mansion, making the relief food of the imperial court unable to reach the hands of the people for a long time, causing tens of thousands of people in Qingzhou to starve to death outside the porridge shed.

Such a person actually took a boat to avoid the vast sea after the imperial army exterminated most of the bandits. And with him disappeared, there were nearly a million taels of silver in his arms.

In the previous life, a character like Emperor Hongwu could be called a clear character. As long as he Han Tong is like this, he is also worthy? Scold!

To say that the White Lotus Sect is so wonderful, Jia Cong is really disgusting.

In the previous dynasty, the White Lotus Sect took advantage of the uprising of the rebels in various places in the name of expelling the Tartars. Later, due to the great reduction of the strength of the faction's infighting, he was defeated by Taizu with a blow, and he hibernated for more than ten years, and was almost completely wiped out by Emperor Taizong.

During the Taiping Rejuvenation Period, Emperor Taizu made great efforts to crack down on the wealthy families, and the people lived a stable life for more than ten years, which can be regarded as the lowest period for the White Lotus Sect.

Until Emperor Taizong was seriously ill, the center was chaotic, and there were natural disasters, and the people were hungry, the White Lotus Sect once again raised the slogan of Juntian Anmin, which caused tens of millions of people in Shandong and Henan provinces to be displaced.

During the Zhaowu period, the Emperor Taishang's martial arts and martial arts made the family unwilling to take the lead, the country was strong and the people were rich, and the world was peaceful, and the White Lotus Sect shrank up again, until the center changed greatly, and the sons seized the heirs, and the White Lotus Sect emerged again......

It can be said that every time the White Lotus Sect rises up, it is a time when the people are not well fed and clothed.

If they really want to feed the people, it means that the officials and bandits have different positions, and Jia Cong will also respect them as good men.

But in fact, the teachings of the White Lotus Sect doomed this group of people to just take the opportunity to provoke contradictions between the government and the people, and fool the people into stepping on the flesh and blood of the people to fill their selfish desires.

When Taizu designated the White Lotus Sect as a cult, it was actually not that they had fought with the imperial court for the world.

But the White Lotus Sect is really evil, where is the evil?

The most terrifying thing is the doctrine of the White Lotus Sect: believe in the gods and Buddhas, and the gods and Buddhas can bless them with everything!

This strange doctrine caused the members of the White Lotus Sect to gather together to worship God and Buddha without production, which seriously affected the production order and stability of society.

And once they get sick, they don't advocate seeing a doctor, and they rely on the treatment of "lifeless old mothers", which is often a glass of water.

It was through this doctrine that the White Lotus Sect was soon able to gather many rogue ruffians, and even coaxed a large number of low-level people.

They coaxed not only the beliefs of the people, but also the small amount of money and even wives and daughters of the people at the bottom.

And then there's their purpose, it's even more messy. In other words, each sect has a different attitude towards the imperial court, some want to be recruited and submit to the imperial court, and they still have some conscience and know how to restrain themselves.

But more of them are just to collect money, frantically bewitching the people and rich businessmen to provide for them, and some want to subvert the imperial court, so they run around and contact forces, but they have no unified thinking, and they have no regular military force, they can only be a bubble in the water, and they will be broken when they poke.

Imagine, in the face of the regular army of the imperial court, can the people resist? So more often, they have been transformed into bargaining chips for the imperial court game and a tool for people with intentions to accumulate money.

For example, the Sanyang Sect spread widely in the inner court, and when the first prince suddenly raised troops to force the palace, there was a shadow of the Sanyang Sect, that is, the White Lotus Sect......

Far from it!

When the world is peaceful, the White Lotus Sect secretly stirs up wind and rain everywhere, and every time there is a natural disaster, the White Lotus Sect tries its best to cause man-made disasters.

In the eyes of the White Lotus Sect, the relief of the imperial court is to break their foundation and try every means to impact the officials

The government and the imperial court's disaster relief plan.

If it weren't for the White Lotus Sect's siege of the city, Jia Cong would probably have been inspecting the disaster relief in the porridge shed outside the city.

Pity the victims who are already suffering from cold and hunger, they will not even be able to eat hot porridge..

Sou!

"Third Master be careful!"

Airplanes! Syllable!

Jia Shiyi drew his knife and swung it, and a feathered arrow grazed Jia Cong's ear and pierced the pillar behind him.

The tail of the arrow was still buzzing, and the arrow was an inch deep into the column, which showed the great strength of the archer.

"Your Excellency, bring a letter to the arrow!"

The soldiers protected Jia Cong behind him, but Jia Cong pushed him away. He wears silver armor and silver helmets, and hangs the sword and sword so that the enemy and the soldiers and civilians in the city can clear it and see that Jia Cong of Rongguo Mansion is here!

Deterring the enemy and boosting the morale of the army and the people is the responsibility of the commander-in-chief of an army and the commander of a city.

Jia Cong took the strip of cloth carried by the feather arrow and looked at it, laughing.

"This official Rongguo bloodline, my ancestor Rongguogong, my father Rongguohou, surrender to the White Lotus Sect? What can the White Lotus Sect give to this official? Can you make that White Lotus Holy Mother go down to earth to be a concubine for this official?"

After a brief loss of consciousness, the soldiers at the head of the city burst into laughter.

Is this person from the White Lotus Sect really stupid? The general of my family (the commander) is the son of the dignified Rongguo Marquis, the Son of Heaven personally gave the royal cat, Jane's character in the emperor's heart, will he surrender to your White Lotus Sect bandits?

"Come on, bring refreshments to the official, today the official will sit on the head of the city, waiting for the White Lotus bandits to send their White Lotus Holy Mother to make tea for the official and pinch his shoulders!"

Jia Cong's golden sword horse sat down on the Taishi's chair and ordered, "Come and say the words of the official in unison. Tell the bandits under the city, Jia Cong of Rongguo Mansion, wait for Han Tong, the king of the White Lotus Sect, and send the White Lotus Mother to come down to be the concubine of the official!"

The guards quickly shouted towards the city: "My general said that he was waiting for Han Tong, the king of the White Lotus Sect, at the head of the city, and sent the White Lotus Holy Mother down to earth to be the concubine of my general!"
