Chapter 397: "Time is Running Out ....."
γConsistent Roadγ
It's not that Zheng Jirong has never heard of this name, as a national-level agent who has been organized and trained for adoption since he was a child, he knows better than many people about the major things that happen in this land.
And this Consistent Path is one of them.
Originated at the end of the Qing Dynasty, its teachings integrated part of the ideas of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, and mixed with some Western Christian culture, originally to overthrow the rule of the Qing Dynasty, was purged several times without success, and after the Republic of China, they began to develop rapidly, expanding their sphere of influence, including Shanghai Tang, they had seven general altars in the country, and at their peak had millions of believers in the country.
If only that were it, but after seeing that they had no hope of establishing their own power, they began to turn to a frenzied enrichment campaign.
All believers who join the consistent path must hand over more than five catties of white flour.
Before he could finish speaking, two believers suddenly jumped up from the ground and rushed towards him desperately.
"In my opinion, Tanaka Altar Master, it's better for you to stay in the sect these days, it's safer." One of the deputy altar masters, said in a slightly deep voice, "The Axe Gang is now the number one force in Shanghai, and since you have a grudge against that Zheng Jirong, who can predict that he won't poison you while you're out?" β
Immediately afterwards, Zheng Jirong raised his wrist and glanced at his watch coldly, "I'll only give you one minute, if you want to live, get out of here now"
They glanced at everyone present with fierce eyes, and then stood on both sides of the gate on both sides of the gate, like two door gods, to prevent anyone from taking the opportunity to escape.
Ding Li and he have been slaughtered, if the mayor dares not to know each other, then send him down together, so that their son-in-law can meet again on Huangquan Road!
At this time, the believers in the venue saw that their altar owners were all shot dead, and they were immediately frightened, and many people quickly got up and ran out in a panic.
With these fools outside, coupled with the protection of the Lord of the Shanghai Altar of the [Consistent Dao], if Zheng Jirong wants to kill him, unless he is willing to give up all his reputation and status.
Thinking of this, he breathed a sigh of relief and was about to pick up the tea cup on the side to rinse his mouth, however, at the moment when he lifted the tea lid, the door outside the house was suddenly kicked open, and the heavy wooden door slammed on the wall and made two extremely dull sounds.
Immediately afterwards, the two wonders, Da Du Peng and Tie Zhu, walked in side by side.
The corners of Zheng Jirong's mouth hooked up a grim smile, and he announced indifferently: "If you are still here in a minute, you will end up like them!" β
Jiro Tanaka, who was being nagged by Zheng Jirong, was wearing a white gauze dress at the moment, and after hearing the words of the old man next to him, he bowed slightly.
Second, it is an attempt to mentally paralyze the masses, and even propagates absurd claims such as "the arrival of the Dongying army is fate"!
In October 1950, the state directly dispatched troops to severely suppress the Consistent Way in various localities, arresting and trying the leaders of the Consistent Path, and more than 300 leaders and altar owners were arrested, and nearly 100 of them were sentenced to death.
After looting the common people, they also did the most notorious thing, that is, during the Anti-Japanese War, they colluded with the Dongying army and the puppet regime.
Seeing that he really dared to kill, Li Tanzhu said angrily: "Then do you know who our altar master is, Mr. Mayor is the altar master of our main altar!" You."
In enemy-occupied areas, the Consistent Dao began to spread rapidly because of its legalization, and their main task was twofold.
In this era, five catties of white flour is a lot of wealth, and many people eat sorghum rice or cornmeal, and they can't afford to eat white flour at all.
Seeing this scene, Jiro Tanaka trembled with fright, and the cup in his hand also fell to the ground due to a mistake, and fragments were splashed everywhere.
Zheng Jirong pondered for a moment, shook his head slightly, and then stood up from his chair, his tone firm and indifferent: "It's just some scum, what's there to be afraid of?" Gather people, bring guys, today Lao Tzu will eradicate this group of pests for the country! β
Zheng Jirong suddenly interrupted the old guy's words with a low snort, and then he glanced at the consistent Taoist people who were meditating around him with a scrutinizing gaze, most of these people were yellow and thin, and they looked malnourished.
After the two got out of the way, Zheng Jirong walked in with a cigar in his mouth and an indifferent expression, followed by dozens of menacing axe men armed with submachine guns.
At this moment, whether it is a wide courtyard or a solemn hall, it is crowded with ordinary people dressed in white cloth and slightly thin.
Zheng Jirong gently exhaled a puff of smoke and responded indifferently: "How many innocent people have died in a natural disaster or an earthquake, have you ever hated the sky and the earth?" Not to mention ......"
Nancheng, in a spacious courtyard.
These two old men are the idols they admire, and they have always been the two deputy altar masters in Shanghai.
It's just that Zheng Jirong was a little surprised that Dongying people hooked up with the consistent Dao so early, and the old devil in Tanaka even sat in the position of the deputy altar master.
However, there were still some recalcitrant believers who tried to rush forward to avenge Old Man Li, but the gang was quickly shot and fell in a pool of blood.
Seeing this, Lord Li Tan shouted loudly with indignation on his face: "This gentleman, do you know what you are doing? They are innocent people! β
Although their faces were sallow, their eyes flashed with a fiery light, staring at the two old men sitting on the high platform at the front of the hall talking in low voices.
Bang!
Zheng Jirong was too lazy to listen to this old thing's chatter, he raised his hand and shot him, hitting him in the center of the eyebrows, killing him on the spot.
But then, as if he had thought of something, he frowned and said: "It's just that Zheng Jirong is arrogant and domineering, and he even dares not to give face to Westerners." I'm afraid that he will be desperate to break into our altar at that time......"
"You"
Seeing this, Master Li Tan beside him couldn't help frowning, and said to the person who came, "This gentleman."
The old guy who was called Li Tan Master shook his head, raised his hand and pointed at the nearly 100 fanatical-eyed sect members below, "Even if it is the Heavenly King Lao Tzu, you have to pay attention to the right name when killing people." There are these loyal members standing in front of you, wanting to kill you, unless he wants to be wanted by the government and be a street rat for the rest of his life. And don't forget who we are. β
"Brother Rong."
At this moment, they were looking at themselves with the same eyes, as if they were searching for his intentions.
However, before they could reach Zheng Jirong, a rapid gunshot suddenly rang out, and in the next second, the two of them had been beaten into a sieve by bullets, blood splattered, and fell to the cold ground.
As soon as his words fell, the believers who had been sitting in silence instantly fell into a panic and began to riot, and their frightened eyes fell on the two deputy altar masters on the stage.
Their appearance made the originally quiet lobby instantly become tense.
Looking at the fanatical-eyed sectarians below, Tian Zhongzhong's worries suddenly dissipated a lot.
First, for the Dongying army to collect money and military supplies, the Tao often organized various plays, fooling the believers into paying various fees, such as merit fees, dedication fees, many of which were transferred to Dongying and the puppet army troops.
β.β
Zheng Jirong glanced at all this coldly, a cold smile tugged at the corner of his mouth, and he began to count down with his fingers: "Time is running out, ten...... Nine...... Eight...... One! β
He stared sharply at the two deputy altar masters on the stage, and sneered: "How many of those who are qualified to stay here in the main altar are innocent?" β
Du Dapeng looked at Zheng Jirong's gloomy face, and cautiously suggested, "Why don't I send someone to guard outside the main altar, once that old devil shows up, I will drive him to death, what do you think?" β
"Haha, Tanaka Altar Master is too worried!"
"Shut up!"
As his voice fell, the originally open door closed instantly.
Immediately afterwards, a dense burst of gunfire rang out in the courtyard, echoing throughout the street, making people palpitate.
