Zhao Xiong's position was facing the river, and he heard the scholar shouting hurriedly:

"I am Zeng Disheng, a student who entered Beijing to take the exam...... "National Domain"!

Zhao Xiong heard "Zeng Disheng...... After a few moments of confusion, he stood up, walked a few steps to the outside of the bamboo shed, and saw a man walking briskly towards the dam where the cattle were killed.

While walking, he shouted: "Students, I inspected the canal along the way, this year's Shandong vision is obvious, and there is no doubt about the drought!"

The spread of drought is also a certainty!

If your land follows the old customs, slaughtering cattle and sacrificing to the river, in order to retreat the water when the water is flooded and abandon the method of building ponds and storing water, it will definitely add to drought! ”

The people on the river beach have lived in the Grand Canal for many years, and they have all tasted drought and floods.

Some people who have experienced drought and flood disasters look up and see this ghost weather, and when they think about it, they are frightened and talk about it.

The mage with the mask of gods and ghosts standing on the altar stopped the rosary in his hand, shrieked "hey", and then scolded sharply:

"What kind of demon dare to show evil words in my Hanzhuang!

Come!

Beat this demon ten feet away, don't get in the way of sacrificing to the gods! ”

So, a group of bareback villagers with red belts and black pants rushed out of the crowd, and then swarmed up and beat the readers.

The student Zeng Disheng was tall and may have practiced martial arts, but his two fists were invincible to his four palms, and his kung fu fell into disadvantage after a while.

Eventually, he was knocked down and pulled under the river embankment, where the villagers pushed him down in a puddle of mud.

Then they took a sip and turned back into the crowd.

Zhao Xiong looked at the group of fighting villagers at the door of the bamboo shed, and then looked at the mage on the stage, and frowned.

As the gate official of Hanzhuang Town, he hasn't said anything yet, this mage is acting on his behalf, it's really unreasonable!

Zeng Guofan struggled to get up in the mud puddle with blood on his face, and it was estimated that his legs were broken, and he couldn't get up no matter how he struggled.

Director Feng came out of the bamboo shed, looking at this scene, his gloomy face, this is a slap in the face of a scholar!

Zhao Xiong scolded fiercely in his heart when he saw the appearance of Master Feng, his own land, his mother's, when he saw that mage, it was not a good thing, but it was against the sky, and there was no king's law.

At that moment, he arched his hand to Director Feng and said, "The next official will come when he goes."

Zeng Guofan saw that someone was coming, and his hoarse voice roared even louder.

"Aoyama, stun him"!

didn't see what happened to Zuo Liangyu jumped into the mud pit, and when he arrived in front of Zeng Guofan, he slashed with his right palm, and Zeng Disheng was perverted and slowly fell down in surprise.

Immediately afterwards, Zuo Liangyu pinched Zeng Guofan's neck a few times, raised his head and said to Zhao Xiong: "Ensure that he won't wake up for an hour."

Liu Huan, the head of the gate, just arrived, and when he saw the scholar on the ground, he jumped down the pit and carried Zeng Guofan out with Zuo Liangyu.

Zhao Xiong said to Liu Huan: "This person is a scholar, don't miss his Sven, move to your village, and live well!"

He is not allowed to leave the village without my permission! ”

Then Zhao Xiong turned around and returned to the bamboo shed, his heart turned over the river and the sea, he had seen the portrait of Zeng Guofan in his previous life, and the person in front of him was somewhat similar.

In addition, he said that his name is Zeng Disheng, and he is basically hammered.

"This is meowing, if the estimate is good, this benevolent brother is the famous Zeng Guofan in history who shaved his head!"

Zhao Xiong returned to the shed, and at this time, the drums on the altar were loud again!

Firecrackers, exploded, gunpowder smoke filled, the mage just said "cut", the knife cut down, and the blood pillar suddenly soared to the sky!

The mage wearing the mask of gods and ghosts standing on the altar recites the Buddha's name in his mouth.

The man who killed the ox at the bottom threw the head of the ox into the canal.

In the river, the head of the ox rises and falls.

The mage wearing the mask of gods and ghosts on the altar, scanning the villagers of the ant gathering, suddenly knelt on the ground, kowtowed three times, suddenly pointed to the sky, and shouted and asked, "What year is this year?" ”

The people on the river beach shouted in unison: "Fifteen years of Yongping!" ”

The mage jerked out the wide sleeves of his robe, kowtowed three more times, and asked in a loud voice:

"No matter how heavy the rain falls this year, the canal will not be a disaster! No matter how big the drought is, there is still water in the river. ”

He pointed at the river with a finger of a magic stick about a meter wide with colorful feathers tied to it: "There are buffaloes drinking in the river!" ”

The head of the bull floating on the river is actually fixed in the center of the river, and it is very miraculously motionless.

Suddenly, the cheers of the common people on the shore and beach sounded like thunder, overwhelming!

The bamboo shed was erected on the river dam, and the officials inside were watching all this with relish.

Zhao Xiong couldn't figure it out, it was estimated that someone was diving in the river to operate the bull's head, it should be like this!

"There is definitely something wrong with the ups and downs of the bull's head and the kneeling of the cow!

TMD: This is a fucking cult!

It should definitely be cracked down!

Isn't it the Great Kang Dynasty that strictly forbids the church!

Why are officials also happy, it seems that it is not the same thing? ”

In fact, Zhao Xiong also knew little about the church of the Great Kang Dynasty, that is, he didn't understand it at all.

At the beginning of the Dakang Dynasty, like other dynasties, it strictly forbade folk religious belief and severely cracked down.

But the good times did not last long, and when Wu Sangui died, his successor had no experience and no energy to take care of it, which made the folk church resurrect.

In recent decades, there have been many cases of White Lotus cultists in Sichuan, Hubei, Jiangxi, Shandong and other places, and some have also established emperors, but they have all been suppressed.

The court of the Yongping Dynasty had no energy, and even less money, so it turned a blind eye.

So folk religion developed.

There are many names of the Grand Canal folk churches, including Jinchan, Wuwei, Longhua, Wukong, Huanyuan, Yuandun, Hongyang, Maitreya, Jingkong, Dacheng, Sanyang, Mixed Yuan, Wenxiang, Luodao and dozens of others.

They do not belong to each other, the doctrines and rituals are quite different, and the gods they believe in are extremely complex, including the Jade Emperor of the Heavenly Palace, the King of Hell of Hell, the sages of the world, etc., and the most worshipped is Maitreya Buddha.

The local magistrates looked down on these sects and did not regard them as rivals.

Some officials even wanted to be rated, and they even used their hands and feet in private, and the good one was beheaded.

But the wildfires can't be burned, and the spring breeze blows and grows again!

Zhao Xiong didn't know that there was a serious riot along the Grand Canal in the second year of Yongping, and the Wenxiang Sect also caused a small-scale riot in a section of the Grand Canal in Shandong, but at that time, he served as Jining Ting, and easily suppressed it.

In the past ten years, the whole country has been in turmoil, and the ignorant Dakang Dynasty court has blamed all these on the folk church, but there is nothing to be done!

The Closing Gate Festival is a big festival, so Zhao Xiong asked his subordinates to fight with the spirit of 12 points, especially so many people, and the problem of public security was not cheered up.

In the county, only the two rooms of the household house and the military room were specially assigned to coordinate, and more than 20 officials were also sent to maintain order.

Zhao Xiong took more than a dozen people outside to find a high position, and used a loudspeaker to direct the group of ordinary people watching the excitement.

Otherwise, when the time comes, it will be the crime of killing the head!
