Wang Zhu'er was silent.

Xu He said gently: "That's because Uncle Zheng knows that following that Lei Jun is a dead end, even if you can escape to the sea, how many small islands on the sea can accommodate the more than 660,000 stove salt households in Lianghuai?" ”

"Even if there are islands that can accommodate them, how many islands have fresh water? Where do you get seeds, houses, food, medicines? ”

Wang Zhu'er blushed and said in a loud voice: "Leader Lei may not lose!" ”

Xu He sneered: "Last time, the guards almost threw him into the sea after only one guard, and in the end he escaped with a few people, only to be spared. If he dares to recruit you to join the stove and the imperial court loses an important source of salt tax, do you think the imperial court will fight with you? ”

"Isn't it the soldiers of Yangzhou Wei who will come at that time, as far south as Jinshan, north as Huai'an Wei, all the guards are dispatched together, plus the Caojiang Yushi Yamen and the coastal reserve army, do you think Lei Jun still has a chance to win?"

Wang Zhu'er was silent, and there was a tangle on his face.

Xu He sighed and released the final blow: "Also, do you know? The five provinces in the southeast are in turmoil, those Japanese robbers killed the people of our Great Wei, broke through the cities of our Great Wei, raped the women of our Great Wei, and robbed the money of the people of our Great Wei, which can be described as all evil! ”

Wang Zhu'er said in a sullen voice: "What are you talking about!" ”

Xu He said: "Then do you know that last time Lei Jun attacked and disturbed the Hailing Baoba Approval Institute, the officers and soldiers killed one of their bandits in the defense, and finally found out that the person was a widow!" ”

"What?" Wang Zhu'er looked at Xu He in shock, his face full of disbelief.

In his impression, Lei Jun is the kind of hero who kills the rich and helps the poor, although his hands are stained with the blood of corrupt officials and corrupt officials, sometimes it is inevitable that he will be stained with the blood of the people.

But after all, they were born poor, in order to help the poor kill all the bastards who rode on their heads.

Can......

But the person in front of him actually said that the other party colluded with the Japanese coars.

Who are the widows, they are the coastal cooks who know very well, Wang Zhu'er has a cousin who married into Jinshachang in Haimen County.

At the end of last year, Haimen County was attacked by the Japanese invaders, and most of the women in Jinsha Field were also taken captive, including Wang Zhu'er's cousin, whose whereabouts are still unknown.

He looked at Xu He stupidly, unable to figure out whether what he said was true or not.

Xu He said bitterly: "Brother Zhu'er, the one who killed the widow was Hu Baihu stationed in Rugao, I know him, besides, I have also seen the head of the widow with my own eyes, there will be no fake!" ”

Wang Zhu'er seemed to have a bone in his body taken away, and the whole person sat on the ground with his buttocks, muttering: "Leader Lei colluded with the Japanese Invaders, he actually colluded with the Japanese Invaders......"

Xu He picked him up from the ground, held his shoulders and said, "Brother Zhu'er, now there is a way, which can not only kill the bandits who collude with foreign thieves, but also protect the 660,000 salt households in the Lianghuai Salt Farm, it just depends on whether you are willing to tell the hiding place of the thief!" ”

Wang Zhu'er looked at Xu He in a daze, and said unconsciously: "Them, they are hiding in the Liang Battlement Yard!" ”

Xu He was shocked when he heard this: "What? Beam Battlement Yard? ”

The Liang Buttress Field is not far from Zhangcha, no wonder Wang Zhu'er has been clamoring to rebel, it seems that Lei Jun has long been hiding among the stoves, just waiting for Dongshan to rise again.

Thinking of this, he broke out in a cold sweat.

Hurriedly didn't go to the tea, and took Wang Zhu'er to the small courtyard when he just came.

As soon as they arrived at the small courtyard, Zhang Jingxian, Chen Yingzhao and others gathered together and were silent, obviously everyone was a little confused about the direction of action because of Xu He's arrival.

As soon as Xu He walked in, Zhang Jingxian was surprised: "So fast? ”

Xu He nodded and said, "On the way back, this pig brother told me that he heard that the initiator of this stove commotion, Lei Jun, was hiding in the Liangduan yard not far from here!" ”

"What?" Chen Yingzhao stood up in hesitation.

This is the first time Xu He has seen this young general lose his temper.

I saw that he immediately called his own soldiers and shone the torches close to the map.

Zhang Jingxian, a civil official who was not clear just now, immediately turned his face as white as paper, it turned out that Liang Duo was on the way to Hailing to make tea, because it was western, so the army went directly to the official road to extinguish the first to jump out to make trouble, thinking of killing chickens and monkeys.

Who knew that the real big fish would hide on their way here.

Chen Yingzhao said: "Is this true? ”

Xu He pushed Wang Zhu'er in front of the people.

Wang Zhu'er looked at everyone, there was still some reluctance on his face, and he said after a while: "I'm not sure if Lei Jun is in Liang Duo, but when I went to Liang Duo to listen to the Holy Maiden's sermon, I heard Liang Duo's brother say that Lei Jun was hiding in them!" ”

Zhang Jingxian waved his hand to interrupt Wang Zhu'er and said, "Wait, what did you just say about the Holy Maiden?" What saint? ”

Wang Zhu'er snorted: "This is the religion that our stove leaders believe in, called the White Lotus Sect!" According to the holy woman, recently Maitreya came down to earth and called on us to [become monks at home], not to shave our hair, not to wear monk's clothes, and to worship the three saints of Mitha! ”

Cold sweat broke out on Xu He's head: "Nima, why didn't you say it just now,!" ”

The White Lotus Sect is a kind of secret religious association that has been circulated among the people since the Tang and Song dynasties, it is said that it comes from the Pure Land Sect, and it is said that the ancestor of the Pure Land Sect, Shi Huiyuan of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, was in the Lushan Donglin Temple and Liu Zhimin and others formed the White Lotus Society to chant Buddha together.

During the Northern Song Dynasty, the Pure Land Buddha Association was popular, and it was mostly called the White Lotus Society or the Lotus Society. During the Shaoxing period of the Southern Song Dynasty, the monk Mao Ziyuan (legal name Cizhao) in Kunshan, Wu County (now Kunshan, Jiangsu), called the White Lotus Sect, that is, the White Lotus Sect.

At the beginning of the establishment of the White Lotus godson, it was officially refined, and Mao Ziyuan was also Liu Fangjiangzhou.

Since the Southern Song Dynasty, the government and orthodox monks have regarded the White Lotus Sect as a "demonic and evil party", but because the White Lotus Sect uses Buddha statues, graphics and metaphors to explain the height of the Buddha land, simplifying and unifying the popular rituals of chanting Buddha made by its predecessors, it has a very wide audience among the people.

Later, the doctrine and organizational form of the White Lotus Sect changed, and the followers gathered at night to make trouble, or armed rebellion against the imperial court, and when the Emperor Zhizheng arrived, the imperial court strictly ordered the White Lotus Sect to be banned, and the leaders of the White Lotus Sect were wanted.

Everyone didn't expect that a simple military action to suppress the rebellion of Zao Ding not only brought out the thief Lei Jun a while ago, but also the elusive White Lotus Sect Holy Maiden.

Xu Hexian was also at the bottom of his heart, and he asked Wang Zhu'er, "How many of you believe in the White Lotus Sect?" ”

Wang Zhu'er thought for a while and said, "No one believes it!" ”

Xu He frowned and said, "How is it possible?" ”

Wang Zhu'er seemed to be afraid that Xu He would not believe it, and said in a loud voice: "We have no one to preach, and the holy daughter of the White Lotus Sect only came to Liangduo a month ago. ”

Xu He breathed a sigh of relief and turned to Zhang Jingxian and said, "My lord, Lei Jun colluded with the White Lotus Sect, and seduced the officials and gentry of the two Huai Salt Farms to form a secret society, please lead the troops to suppress it!" ”

Zhang Jingxian looked at Chen Yingzhao.

Seeing that Chen Yingzhao's eyes drooped and he didn't make a statement, Zhang Jingxian secretly scolded [cunning] in his heart, but his face was calm: "Commander Chen, return to Liangduan, and arrest the thief named Lei Jun, as well as the demon girl of the White Lotus Sect!" ”

When Chen Yingzhao heard this, he immediately clasped his fists and said, "Obey!" ”
