Chapter 123: Lu Xuan rebelled, and Qin Fu stole books
Qian Chong: ???
After hearing Lu Xuan's words, he was stupid.
Initiation?
What religion to teach?
Enter the Black Lotus Sect.
But the problem is that the Black Lotus Sect today is a rebel who rebels against the imperial court and rebels everywhere.
This sentence came out of the mouth of the dignified magistrate......
Doesn't that mean......
He's going to rebel!
Qian Chongren was a little confused, and subconsciously said:
"My lord, as the saying goes, the food of the king is the ...... of loyalty"
"Am I a thief or are you a thief?!"
Lu Xuan pressed his neck with the blade of the knife, and he didn't have a good airway.
Qian Chong: "......"
It seems to be the truth.
I've been in Qingxian City for a while.
With only a few guards by his side, he was careful every day, using Rabbit Alley as a stronghold, looking for believers, and secretly preaching.
Qian Chong asked himself.
In addition to gathering people every night to preach the teachings.
He didn't do any substantial rebellion or sabotage.
And today, Wu Zhixian came to his missionary den with a big grin and put a knife to his neck.
Say that Benzhi County is preparing to rebel, do you have any clue?
For a moment, Qian Chong felt that he was a law-abiding citizen, and Wu Dacai was a Black Lotus demon.
"If adults want to join the church, we are naturally welcome......"
Qian Chong settled down and gathered his thoughts.
"Then you say, if this county joins the Black Lotus Sect, what position can you get?"
Lu Xuan went straight to the point and asked for benefits.
"This, this ......"
Qian Chong hesitated, "As an adult, be a commander...... It's definitely no problem. ”
"A commander?"
Lu Xuan was dissatisfied.
"Adults don't know."
Qian Chong explained:
"In my sect, the leaders of the rebel army who can overthrow a county are all called commanders, and then they have to be at the state capital level."
It's just that a serious Dakang official took the initiative to join the Black Lotus Sect......
This kind of thing can't be said to be none, but it's really rare.
After all, surrender is such a thing, as long as the city is broken, even if they know that the crisis is not far away, normal people will choose to wait and see.
It was the first time Qian Chong had seen such an active thief.
Lu Xuan's face was cloudy, and when Qian Chong saw this, he hurriedly added:
"Of course, this is only the current level of the adult, if one day, the big thing has been accomplished, with the courage of the adult, it is no problem to be a feudal official."
Hearing this, Lu Xuan's face softened slightly, and he said:
"Are there any requirements to join your Black Lotus Sect?"
Qian Chong thought for a while:
"Sincerity is the only way to join our religion, and if you want to become a true believer, you need to go through some tests.
Three days before entering our religion, you need to abstain from alcohol, and you must not drink a drop of alcohol;
Thirty days before entering our religion, you must abstain from meat and not eat meat.
Three months before entering my religion, you must abstain from sexuality, and you can't do it for both men and women......"
"Why do you Black Lotus Sect have so many rules and precepts, and you don't want to be a monk."
Lu Xuan frowned.
"That's what my lord said."
Qian Chong hurriedly said:
"But these are all requirements for the people below, as an adult, to take refuge in my teaching, naturally it is sincere, and there is no need to abide by this kind of rule."
"That's pretty much it."
Lu Xuan nodded:
"But how dare you fight the idea of Qingxian City? You must know that the Blue Immortal City is controlled by the Blue Immortal Society, and they will not allow you to preach here. ”
"The Green Immortal, the Wild God."
Qian Chong shook his head, looking down on this snake god very much:
"A rural demon is worshiped as a god by ignorant civilians, how can it be compared to our Black Lotus Sect?
What's more, the Qingxian Society here will control the people and lawlessly, only know how to intimidate and oppress by force, and the people have long complained in their hearts.
Once this kind of resentment is ignited, it will turn into a raging fire and burn the Qingxian Society to the ground. ”
Hearing this, Lu Xuan was slightly surprised.
This Qian Chong seems to be mediocre, but he is very insightful about the situation in Qingxian City.
"Then according to Brother Qian's opinion, how should this fire be lit?"
Lu Xuan put the knife down:
"The Qingxian will rule the city by force, but they will not slack off.
There are 500 officers and soldiers guarding the city in the city, all of whom are elites, and their commanders are all members of the Qingxian Society.
In addition, the Blue Immortal Society also has private soldiers, specially trained, with more than 600 people.
This is not counting the servants and slaves of each family, and the young and strong men ......"
When Qian Chong heard this, he pondered for a moment:
"Dare to ask how many men and horses are under your command?"
"There are a total of 70 officials in the county, and 30 of them are from the three major families."
Lu Xuan was very calm.
In fact, these people should be the only ones who really work for the yamen.
According to the custom of the Dakang Yamen, each official would recruit a few helpers to act as assistants.
Normally speaking, there are still three or four hundred servants.
But Lu Xuan didn't plan to count these supernumeraries.
The gang of ruffians and hooligans is unreliable, and when the war starts, they can run faster than anyone else.
Second, the county government has been idle for many years, and all the big and small affairs have been handed over to the Qingxian Society, and the officials of the county government have nothing to do, and there is no help under their hands.
"Your Excellency, you're really ...... Independence from the world. ”
Qian Chong was silent for a long time, and held back such a sentence for a long time.
He finally understood that this Master Wu was currently a loner.
Nothing but the identity of the county magistrate.
[No wonder this person wants to take the initiative to join the ......]
Qian Chong's mind flowed, and he thought of the conflict between the county magistrate and the Gu family during this time.
"What, Brother Qian can't do anything?"
Lu Xuan picked up the knife on the table again.
"Adults are slow, adults are slow."
Qian Chong hurriedly stopped:
"Method...... Of course there is, and my Black Lotus Sect can produce five hundred people. ”
"Only five hundred?"
Lu Xuan looked at him.
"Five hundred is the kind that I teach the elite and can win in a fight with Dakang officers and soldiers.
These 500 will wait outside the city, and when the time is done, the adults will open the gates, and my brothers will rush in. ”
Qian Chong explained:
"As for the city, Qian can also pull out a group of disciples, these rich families have servants in their families, although they can't act as the main force, they can also block one or two against the people of the Qingxian Society."
Lu Xuan nodded slightly, and then heard Qian Chong say:
"As for how to encircle the people and use their power to overthrow the three major families...... It's up to Master Wu to do this. ”
"I'll take care of that."
Lu Xuan replied very simply.
"Lord Wu's entry into the religion is not small, and the right to transfer troops is not in my hands, and I ask your lordship to allow me to write a secret letter and contact my superiors."
Qian Chong pleaded.
"Yes."
Lu Xuan promised.
At Qian Chong's signal, his subordinates took a piece of paper printed with a special pattern and ground the ink.
Qian Chong thought about it for a while, put pen to paper, and wrote the secret letter in a cup of tea.
He wrote the secret letter in front of Lu Xuan, and handed the letter to Lu Xuan for review.
Lu Xuan thought about it, picked up the big seal beside him, and stamped a seal on it.
"Brother Qian is frank, and Wu will not be false."
He handed the letter with the official seal to Qian Chong:
"This is my sincerity."
The official seal can only be called by a city and county.
In Qian Chong's view, Wu Zhixian stamped this seal on paper, which was to give him the handle of rebellion.
It seems that this county magistrate of Qingxian City is determined to join the Black Lotus Sect.
Qian Chong thought so.
………………
Qingxian City County Ya.
"Your Excellency."
Lu Ping came to report, "Qin Fu...... Today and, and Bo Chang...... See, meet. ”
"I see."
Lu Xuan nodded, "Continue to monitor, don't be discovered by the two." ”
"Yes, sir."
Lu Ping was ordered to retreat.
"Li Ming."
Lu Xuan called.
"My lord, my subordinates are here."
"How's the soup kitchen going?"
Lu Xuan asked.
"All the best."
Li Ming replied, "There are a lot of victims who have received the porridge, but in just one hour, all the porridge that Ao Hao has given this morning has been completed." ”
"What is the physical condition of the victims in the west of the city?"
"Those who can escape to our Qingxian City alive are mostly in good health, and they are no different from ordinary people."
"Okay, continue to give porridge tomorrow, this money can still be afforded by the county."
"Yes."
………………
Another three days passed.
Lu Ping reports:
"Master, Qin Fu...... Didn't last night, didn't go home. ”
"It's not slow."
Lu Xuan was very satisfied, "There is no need to spy on her." ”
"Yes."
"Li Ming."
"The subordinates are here."
"Tomorrow will be a list, recruit strong men in the west of the city, this time set up a cauldron next to the porridge stall, and anyone who signs up can get meat."
Lu Xuan spoke:
Then he told them that after they joined the army, they would be able to eat meat every day and pay for it every month...... Remember to screen the applicant's body, don't if you are weak. ”
"Yes."
Li Ming received the order, hesitated for a moment and then said:
"My lord, we can give porridge or something every day, our county treasury can still support it for a while, but recruit militia and form a regiment to practice ......"
"You only have to recruit people, military spending...... Someone paid for us. ”
"Yes!"
………………
Two more days passed.
In the afternoon of this day, at dusk.
Inside the warehouse.
"Sister Qin, let's go back."
Gu Rong stretched and prepared to pack her things.
During this time, she went to work every day, managed paperwork in the county treasury, and gradually adapted to this life.
"Hmm...... You go back first. ”
Qin Fu blinked, "I...... I'm not going home tonight. ”
"Looking for your master Bo again?"
Gu Rong deliberately added an accent to "your home".
"Go, go, go."
Qin Fu slapped her twice with a smile, "What's your family, my family, adults, don't worry about children." ”
"Tut-tut, after this man is here, he will be separated from his sisters."
Gu Rong let out a long sigh, "After all, sisters can only warm you verbally, men ......"
"Alright, alright."
Qin Fu knew that she was going to open the meat tone again, so she hurriedly interrupted, "You hurry up and go back, there will be a curfew later." ”
"Sister Qin."
When Gu Rong heard this, her face straightened:
"Jokes are jokes, but the head of the Bo family is not someone who can be trusted......"
"Of course I do."
Qin Fu smiled slightly and untied a pendant from his neck.
The jade pendant has a warm texture and exquisite carving.
"The goods of the Leng Yu Pavilion are three hundred taels of silver."
Qin Fu shook the pendant, "He didn't move sincerely, and so did I...... Do you think my sister is stupid? ”
Only then did Gu Rong put her mind at ease:
"In that case, then I'll go back first, alas, I'm alone in the empty room at night......"
"Go, go, go."
Qin Fu pushed her back and said angrily:
"Let's go, don't delay my business."
After Gu Rong left.
The smile on Qin Fu's face gradually faded.
She looked around, lit the oil lamp, and closed the door to the storeroom.
She urged Gu Rong to leave quickly, she had her own plans.
Just this morning, Bo Chang gave her the pendant.
Then Bo Chang made a request to Qin Fu -
Help him find a file from five years ago.
It was only then that Qin Fufang understood why the other party took the initiative to approach him.
But she didn't hesitate for long.
Bo Chang approached her with a purpose, and she also did not deliver her sincerity.
Everyone takes what they need, just a dossier, and this business is very cost-effective.
Although taking out the file sealed by the county government has violated the law of Dakang.
But Qin Fu felt that there was no big problem.
The old case five years ago, no one cares about the file in the warehouse, and no one will care.
Qin Fu held an oil lamp and walked through the wooden frame.
During this time, she had mastered the method of sorting files.
And this morning, Bo Chang told Qin Fu the information about the dossier he was looking for.
Less than a stick of incense.
Qin Fu found what she wanted.
The dossier was placed in the middle of the wooden frame, and with Qin Fu's height, it was easy to pick up.
After checking it again, she wrapped the file in her clothes and quietly left the county office.
But she didn't know that in the alley outside the county office, there were two figures silently watching her.
………………
Bo House.
"Sure enough, sure enough......"
After Bo Chang finished reading the dossier sent by Qin Fu, his face was cloudy.
"My grandfather and my father were killed by Gu Yang's brute!"
He slammed the cup on the ground.
The cause of death of the old head of the Bo family written on the file was that he encountered thieves and bandits outside the city, and the entire convoy was wiped out.
But the few pieces of evidence found at the scene pointed the murderer at the Gu family.
The pages of the dossier were yellowed and incomplete, and the last pages were torn out and refilled.
Bo Chang knew in his heart that he must have dared not offend Gu Yang because of the previous magistrate, so he blamed the bandits for the incident and covered up the past.
The deaths of his father and grandfather have always been a shadow in Bo Chang's heart that is difficult to eliminate.
He always wanted to investigate the truth of the matter, but at that time, Bo Chang was just a young man, and he was not in charge of the Bo family, and he was powerless to investigate.
As the biggest vested interest after the assassination of the old head of the Bo family, Gu Yang has always been on Bo Chang's suspicion list.
Today, this "suspicion" is confirmed.
Bo Chang thought a lot in his heart, not only the revenge of killing his father, but also the future and future of the entire Bo family.
When the head of the Bo family passed away, the Bo family should have stepped forward as the acting president, but Gu Yang vetoed it.
With his style of doing things, when the day of the Qingxian Guild, Gu Yang probably would not return those five years to the Bo family.
Bo Chang was furious in his heart, but this anger did not last long.
He took a few deep breaths to calm himself.
Now that the Gu family is powerful, if they have a hard fight with Gu Yang and tear their faces, the entire Bo family will have to pay a great price.
Bo Chang knew he had to find an ally to work with.
Who to look for?
After thinking about it for a long time, Bo Chang finally made up his mind.
