Where there is oppression, there is resistance.

Even so, someone has to jump out and throw bricks.

Bai Yutian was so happy, and finally said that he moved the three sisters Cui Yingying, Ah Xing, and A Zhu to be the initiators of the rebellion against Biluo Lake.

After returning to the hall and sharing his good mood with the Wushan Dao people, he saw that the Wushan Dao people didn't know anything about the assassination of the Zhizhou Mansion last night, and while his smile was still undiminished, he explained the cause and effect of the incident clearly.

Although the people of Wushan Dao were a little surprised after hearing this, they were not worried, just because he had lived in Bianliang, Kyoto for many years, and he was no stranger to Lord Fan Zhongyan, and he knew that Lord Fan was not only not easy to kill, but also respected and loved the people in his heart, and most of the time he said what he said. And Bai Yutian is harmless to him Fan Zhongyan, he is still an old man, using the Huairou policy to appease the White Lotus Sect is better than suppressing it by force, there is no conflict of interest, there is no need to bully Bai Yutian with words, let alone a set in front of him and behind his back.

Bai Yutian saw that the Wushan Daoist had no objection to him escorting Lord Fan Zhongyan to Gyeongju, and the restless stone in his heart finally landed, and he was in a good mood, and talked to the Wushan Daoist about how to eliminate the martial saint Zhao Mingxiu.

The people of Wushan Dao have long been dissatisfied with Zhao Mingxiu's old horseman, and they always want to take off Zhao Mingxiu's Taoist mask, but because they can't find a helper who can compete with Biluo Lake, they have been holding back and waiting for the opportunity.

It is rare that Bai Yutian sees Zhao Mingxiu as an irreconcilable enemy, and he can be described as like-minded, so he also puts his heart into his heart and says nothing.

Bai Yutian felt that Zhao Mingxiu was like a poisonous snake hiding in the depths of the grass, and the lush artemisia grass helped him hide his whereabouts, as long as he stood still, it would be difficult for anyone to find out, let alone be eliminated. Inadvertently, I thought of the method of "striking the grass and startling the snake" and "knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger", and asked the opinions of the people of Wushan Dao.

The people of Wushan Dao thought about it carefully and felt that it was very good, not only to give support, but also to add a plan of "wanting to cover up".

Ah Xing and Ah Zhu were thinking about the safety of their master Dong Xiaowan, and they were worried and kept asking questions.

Although the people of Wushan Dao don't want to be in the company of children with low IQs, it is related to the White Lotus Sect, Ah Xing and Ah Zhu, as members of the White Lotus Sect, are still allies in name, and it is reasonable to know some things, so they made it clear that they "want to cover up".

Wanting to cover up is an idiom that comes from historical stories.

It is said that during the Spring and Autumn Period, Cui Zhu, the doctor of Qi State, married Tang Jiang, the wife of the late Tang Gong, a stunning beauty. Zhuang Gong, the monarch of Qi State, was lustful, and after learning about Tang Jiang's beauty, he couldn't extricate himself and dated Tang Jiang in private. Cui Shu was very angry when he learned about it, lied that he was sick, planted an ambush at home, and took the opportunity of Zhuang Gong's visit to kill Zhuang Gong and set up another monarch. The historian of Qi who was responsible for writing the history of the country was an upright man, and truthfully recorded that Cui Shu killed his monarch, and Cui Shu killed three historians in a row in order to cover up the crime of murder. When he reached the fourth historian, he was still not coerced by Cui Shu, adhered to his principles, and recorded truthfully. Cui Shu saw that killing people could not solve the matter, so he had to give up and leave it alone how the historians recorded his murder.

Cui Yingying said: "Isn't this just a story, how did it become your plan?" ”

Wushan Daoren said with a smile: "Thinking about Cui Zhu, killing the monarch is a fact, in order to cover up his crimes, he killed the historian one after another, not only failed to clear himself, but made his ugly behavior more exposed in front of others." The key to this plan of 'trying to cover up' is to find out his evil deeds to the perpetrators, and he will definitely try his best to get rid of those who know about his past evil deeds, so that there will be no proof of his death. If you want to cover up all the evil deeds, you have to kill all the people who participate in the evil, but killing one person adds to the evil. With more and more bad karma, there are more and more people to kill, and slowly move towards a vicious circle, the more you cover up, the more exposed, the more you want to do evil, and in the end it doesn't end, and the world knows it. ”

Cui Yingying suddenly became worried, and said, "In this way, wouldn't my mother be extremely dangerous? ”

Wushan Dao said: "What is extremely dangerous. If she is willing to abandon the darkness and turn to the light from now on, Zhao Mingxiu can't do anything to her, if she doesn't repent and continues to fight for the tiger, it is not a pity to die. ”

Cui Yingying said: "But ......"

Bai Yutian held Cui Yingying's hand and said, "Yingying, in front of right and wrong, there is nothing to do. Zhao Mingxiu is not dead, if your mother continues to be his accomplice to Zhao Mingxiu's evil, even if she is alive, it is equivalent to death. Besides, as long as the White Lotus Sect and Biluohu are in one or two sections, Zhao Mingxiu will be at a loss except for slandering your mother and slandering your White Lotus Sect, and your mother and the White Lotus Sect are covered by the Great Song Dynasty, and there is no danger. ”

Cui Yingying said: "Then what are you going to do?" ”

Bai Yutian said: "Letting the three of you walk with me is equivalent to scaring the snake, and letting Lord Fan Zhongyan meet your mother is equivalent to knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger, and we are kind enough to tell Zhao Mingxiu some of the evil things he has done, which is to cover up the plan." He, Zhao Mingxiu, will definitely try to cover up his past sins for the sake of Biluohu's future and his own good name, so as to fall into the trap of 'wanting to cover up' and can't extricate himself. When the time comes, people are not afraid of might, and they will be mighty. Eliminating him Zhao Mingxiu is just a matter of raising his hands. ”

Wushan Dao said: "Okay, the rules of the Jianghu martial arts can be rewritten from now on." ”

At this moment, Fu Xiaoyin walked in and said, "Bai Shaoxia, appease Master Fan and invite you to the Zhizhou Mansion for tea." ”

Wushan Daodao: "Didn't you drink tea last night, why did you drink tea again today?" ”

Fu Xiaoyin glanced at Cui Yingying's three sisters and sisters, and smiled without answering.

Bai Yutian hurriedly introduced the three of them: "This is my wife Cui Yingying, who went to the Zhizhou Mansion last night. It was Yingying's two junior sisters, Ah Xing and Ah Zhu, who had learned that Master Fan had the intention of treating the White Lotus Sect well, and they were very grateful, and they were willing to accompany me to escort Lord Fan to Gyeongju. ”

Fu Xiaoyin heard it, bowed slightly, and said politely: "I've seen my sister-in-law, I've seen Ah Xing and Ah Zhu." ”

Cui Yingying returned the salute with her two junior sisters: "I've seen the general." ”

Fu Xiaoyin smiled: "Don't dare to be, I'm just a sergeant now." ”

Ah Zhu said with a smile: "Today's sergeant, tomorrow's centurion, tomorrow's general." ”

Fu Xiaoyin bowed slightly and said, "Borrow Miss Azhu's auspicious words." ”

Azhu said politely: "Definitely." ”

Seeing that the atmosphere was harmonious, Bai Yutian asked, "Brother Xiaoyin, do you know why Lord Fan is looking for me?" ”

Fu Xiaoyin said: "General Chong Shiheng is here, and he learned that the Zhizhou Mansion made trouble with the assassins last night, and insisted that Lord Fan order the assassins to be arrested, and severely punish them to set an example." Master Fan knew that General Fan was kind-hearted, so he told you about your sword dance last night, and General Fan was very worried about the safety of Lord Fan on the road, so he wanted to see you. ”

Wushan Daoist said: "One is a person from the rivers and lakes, and the other is a general who leads troops to fight, and he is completely on the wrong path, so what is there to see." ”

Bai Yutian said: "Do you have other intentions, and it is inconvenient for you to say it?" ”

Fu Xiaoyin said with a smile: "General Di said, if you insist on asking, there is nothing to say." ”

Wushan Daodao: "Since this is the case, then you can say it happily." ”

Fu Xiaoyin said: "General Di said that among the few subordinates brought by General Chong today, there is a monk named Wang Guangxin, who is very skilled, and wants to test it with you to see if you are qualified to escort Master Fan to Gyeongju." ”

Bai Yutian said: "I escorted Master Fan to Gyeongju, what does it have to do with him, do you need to compete!" ”

Fu Xiaoyin said with a smile: "Big Brother Bai misunderstood, General Chong brought those people here, and he asked them to escort Master Fan to Gyeongju to take up his post. Lord Fan doesn't want to win people's love, so he doesn't appreciate it. General Chong was worried about Lord Fan's safety, so he thought of this method, because he wanted Lord Fan to accept those people and make them safe on the road. ”

Wushan Daodao: "Your General Di didn't speak?" He had seen Bai Yutian dance the sword last night. ”

Fu Xiaoyin said: "It's a matter of Lord Fan's safety, my general's dare to interject casually, and he can't say anything if he has something to say." ”

Bai Yutian smiled slightly, and said to the Wushan Daoist: "Dao Chief, the safety of the three of them depends on you." ”

Fu Xiaoyin said: "Brother Bai, you go, the mansion where General Di stays, no one dares to come to make a mistake without Master Fan speaking." ”

Bai Yutian got up, brushed Cui Yingying's hair, and said, "Stay well, don't think nonsense, wait for me to come back." ”

Wushan Daodao: "You just go." What was said just now is so clear, they still have to think nonsense, which can only show that the White Lotus Sect has really exhausted its qi, has become a rotten wood, and has no way to return to the sky. ”

Bai Yutian snorted, followed Fu Xiaoyin out of the pavilion, and walked towards the Zhizhou Mansion.

In the backyard of the Zhizhou Mansion, many people looked anxious, except for Fan Zhongyan, Di Qing, and Zhen Jinlian who came with a girl carrying tea, except for these four people.

The first brother, a general who was about fifty years old, bowed slightly to Zhen Jinlian, took the tea, and said, "General Di, didn't that kid surnamed Bai dare to come, right?" ”

Di Qing took the tea and replied with a smile: "General, the people that adults fancie, including you and me, which one of them is not advocating integrity and making orders like a mountain, when has there been that 'retreating from battle, disobeying orders, and talking nonsense'?" It's good to put a hundred hearts. ”

General Chong smiled slightly, and said: "General Di, you and I are both soldiers, obeying orders is a duty, and making a mountain is related to the life and death of subordinates, which is different, how can it be compared with people in the rivers and lakes." General Di's words were incorrect. ”

Di Qing glanced at a soldier beside General Chong, and said with a smile: "General Chong, I seem to have heard that this warrior next to you was a person from the rivers and lakes before, and today he can be described as loyal and brave to General Chong. It can be seen that the word 'loyalty and bravery' should not be distinguished from the source, only the heart. ”

General Chong smiled slightly, took a sip of tea, and was about to speak, when Bai Yutian followed behind a soldier and came quickly.

Di Qing got up and said politely to Fan Zhongyan: "My lord, Bai Shaoxia is here." ”

[The idiom "the initiator" is derived from "Mencius Liang Hui Wang" by later generations, "Zhong Ni said: 'The initiator, there is no aftermath?' It is also used for its image of a man. ".

In the era of Confucius, the aristocracy was buried with living people, and then with the decline of slavery and the rise of feudal society, the custom of using slaves for burial was gradually abolished.

Later, the figurines were invented to accompany the funeral, but the production of figurines not only consumes a lot of manpower, material resources, and financial resources, but also makes the figurines look like real people (Qin Shi Huang's terracotta warriors and horses are the best example). At that time, Confucius keenly felt that making figurines to accompany the funeral was not beneficial to the complete abolition of the concept of burial, and people in later generations would inevitably rekindle the old thoughts, fearing that not only would they be buried, but also people would be used again for burial. The question of worry.

Replacing human martyrdom with clay figurines that resemble people is the embodiment of human nature towards benevolence, and Confucius, who loves others, will not belittle them even if he does not praise them.

The author believes that the word initiator, even if it cannot appear as a positive word, can also appear as a neutral word. 】
