Chapter 290: Cowardly Tang Zhou

The three of them decided to revolt and began to discuss the uprising.

The first is to turn the believers into an army, and Zhang Jiao ordered the believers to be divided into 36 parties, including large and small parties. There were more than 10,000 people in Dafang, about 7,000 in Xiaofang, and 36 large and small commanders were set up to lead 36 parties, who secretly practiced every day, and even used the disciples to collect money, recruit troops, and prepare for the uprising.

In addition, Zhang Jiao himself spent his own essence and blood to mix cinnabar, and drew 5,000 talismans, called the Yellow Turban Lux Fu, using fanatical believers to create 5,000 Yellow Turban Lux Charms. Of these, 3,000 remained with him, and 300 were allocated to each of the two brothers, and the remaining 1,400 were rewarded as personal guards.

Everything was ready, Zhang Jiao led the crowd to worship the sky, consulted the "Taiping Technique", and got the time of the uprising as Jiazi Day in the year of Jiazi, and even put forward the slogan of "Cangtian is dead, Huangtian should stand, the year is in Jiazi, the world is auspicious", and called himself "General Tiangong", and ordered his subordinates to publicize and contact everywhere, just waiting for the Jiazi Day uprising in the year of Jiazi.

The whole process lasted for more than half a year, and by the first ten days of the uprising, the Taiping Road had reached its peak, and the extremes of things would be reversed. At the beginning, the believers in the Taiping Dao made mistakes, as long as they repented in front of the leader, they could be forgiven, which attracted many believers, but also made those victims unhappy, no way, the Taiping Dao was in full swing, and the victims dared to be angry and did not dare to speak.

Tang Zhou is such a person, his family life is difficult, and he is bullied by street bullies. On this day, the bearded bully came to Tang Zhou's house again and drove Tang Zhou out of the house.

Tang Zhou, who was standing at the door, heard his wife's cry for help and was helpless, so he finally chose to escape and quickly ran away without listening to the voice. Unconsciously, Tang Zhou came to the city gate, like a walking corpse, he saw a portrait by the city gate, and immediately felt very familiar, so he went up and looked carefully, this look does not matter, he found that the person on the portrait is actually a great sage and good teacher.

He would never be mistaken, because he and his neighbors had statues of the great sages and good teachers in their homes. He was puzzled by the fact that only portraits of criminals were hung at the city gates, so he asked the people around him. As a result, he asked several people, and they all left with fear on their faces, and in the end, he found a scholar, who was not a believer in the Taiping Dao, so he explained directly.

Only then did Tang Zhou know that the great sage and good teacher had become a prisoner, and now the imperial court offered a reward of 1,000 taels of gold to solicit clues. But so far no one has torn off the list.

Tang Zhou thought of his wife who was being insulted at home, and couldn't help but show anger, so he was about to reach out and tear off the list, but he was immediately held down by others and beaten.

The scholar noticed this scene, did not make a sound, and when the crowd dispersed, the scholar took Tang Zhou to his pharmacy to help Tang Zhou heal his injuries. While the bandages were being tied, the scholar sighed: "You kid is really not small, you dare to offend and betray the great sage and good teacher. ”

Tang Zhou was puzzled, "Since Mr. knows, why don't you expose it?"

The scholar smiled: "The Taiping Sect does not welcome scholars like us, and you believers reject us even more. As soon as I get near, you will disperse. Although I had the opportunity to contact Taishou, I didn't know anything about the situation, and it was useless to expose it. ”

Tang Zhou not only showed a decadent expression, "I don't know where the great sage and good teacher are. ”

The reader smiled, "You don't even know, so what do you believers do all day?" said as he finished his bandages and walked over to the counter to continue grabbing the medicine, seemingly not caring at all.

Tang Zhou sighed, "I didn't do anything, just that someone organized regular gatherings, and now we young people are gathered together from time to time to practice, and we are asked to pay more food." I don't know what they want so much food for?"

The reader paused, stunned for a moment. Seeing this, Tang Zhou asked, "What's wrong with Mr.?"

The scholar laughed, "It's nothing, it's just that I suddenly feel like you're acting like you're preparing to rebel." You must know that reporting Qin criminals has little effect, but if you report rebellion, the entire Taiping Road will be wiped out, and the whistleblower can even be added to the ranks. But where is there such a good thing, Taiping Dao is so popular with the people, how can it rebel. Hahaha, young man, don't take my words seriously, or tomorrow my pharmacy will be smashed by you believers. ”

Tang Zhou hurriedly shook his head, "I will never betray Mr., only Mr. in this world can afford me and help me heal my injuries." ”

The reader has already come, "It's good not to say anything." As he spoke, he handed out two packets of medicine, "You take this medicine back, twice a day, half a pack at a time, five bowls of water boiled into one bowl of water, and if you do less physical work, your injuries will heal soon." ”

Tang Zhou didn't reach out to pick it up, "Sir, I don't have any money." ”

The scholar reached out and patted Tang Zhou on the shoulder, "It's okay, you just take it." I see that you are very pleasing to the eye, it just so happens that I lack a guy here, if you don't dislike it, you can come over and help, and this medicine money should be regarded as an advance salary. ”

Of course, Tang Zhou is very willing, the boss in front of him has a good temper, and he works very decently in the pharmacy, and if he earns money in the future, he can escape from his home and be bullied by bullies. So he thanked him for his kindness, took the medicine, and limped out of the pharmacy.

When he came, the road was very close, but the way back was very long, and when Tang Zhou returned home, he happened to see the bearded bully walking out of his home satisfied, and he couldn't help but show anger. It's just that in the next second, he has changed to a flattering look, "Brother Ergou, are you going home?"

Only then did the bearded bully notice that the disabled person next to him was Tang Zhou, and couldn't help laughing: "Of course go home, you don't have any wine and meat here." As he spoke, he turned around, and at this moment, the fine broadsword behind his back was exposed.

When Tang Zhou saw the big knife, he suddenly remembered the words of the scholar, and couldn't help but wonder if it was really a rebellion. As soon as the idea appeared, Tang Zhou was startled, broke out in a cold sweat, and then ran into his small courtyard with a roll.

It's just that when he saw his disheveled and expressionless wife, he couldn't help but be angry and shouted at the sky.

The departing bearded bully didn't care when he heard the shout, he had been like this every time before, and it was a big deal to repent this time.

And Tang Zhou has already thrown away the herbs, "If you don't take revenge, you swear not to be a man." ”

His wife reacted and hurriedly ran over to persuade him, "Xiao Zhou, forget it, I don't want you to get hurt." ”

"Wife, it's absolutely no problem this time, I'm going to catch them all. ”

"Xiao Zhou, it's really not good, in a short time, the whole world will be theirs, and we won't be able to escape no matter what. ”

Tang Zhou couldn't help but widen his eyes, "What did you say?"

"Nope. Tang Zhou's wife didn't want to think about what had just happened at all.

Seeing this, Tang Zhou began to tell his experience today, and knelt down to beg his wife, and the wife told the matter.

At this time, Tang Zhou finally determined that Taiping Dao was preparing to rebel. He immediately asked his wife to clean up, while he himself sneaked quietly to Ergouzi's house.

The reason why Ergouzi is so arrogant and dares to sleep with the women in the village is because Ergouzi's eldest brother Gouzi is the first believer of Taiping Dao in the village and the manager of the believers in the entire village.

Tang Zhou came to Ergouzi's house and hid in severe pain, but fortunately, the two brothers Gouzi and Ergouzi were drunk and fell asleep, and he successfully obtained a letter and two special seals.

After returning home, Tang Zhou took his wife and left his small courtyard overnight. But when they arrived at the entrance of the village, they were stopped by the believers who were keeping vigil.

Seeing this, Tang Zhou was almost frightened, but fortunately, his wife offered the old hen at home with a smile, and pointed to a light on the horizon, "Two brothers, we husband and wife want to get up early to go to the grave for our parents, and please be accommodating." ”

The Night's Watch couldn't help but ask, "So what are you doing with your luggage?"

The wife immediately took out two pieces of flint, "Now that the yellow paper in the village has been taken away, we can only burn some clothes for the elderly." Look at it, it's just a few torn clothes. ”

And Tang Zhou finally reacted, stretched out his hand to wipe the sweat from the corners of his eyes, and cried: "Daddy, the child is not filial, and he can't honor you." ”

Among them, the night vigil believers were so sleepy that they couldn't help waving their hands when Tang Zhou shouted like this, "Let's go, let's go." Then he ordered his companion, "Little Fang, you go and help, be careful not to cause a fire." ”

The believer named Little Tooth couldn't help but be a little angry, "Hmph, just go." ”

In this way, Tang Zhou and his wife had no choice but to go to the cemetery accompanied by Xiao Li. They soon came to the cemetery and set fire to a piece of clothing.

Tang Zhou's wife put her clothes on the fire one by one, and saw that her dowry was about to be revealed, when a strange cry came from the grave not far away, and two flames floated in the air.

Seeing this ghost fire, Tang Zhou's wife was directly frightened into a coma, and the believer ran out of the cemetery with his little teeth crawling, shouting "Great sage and good teacher bless" as he ran. ”

Only Tang Zhou was left, he couldn't let go of his wife, and he couldn't carry his back because he was injured, so he could only pick up a wooden stick and block it in front of his unconscious wife, and shouted loudly: "Don't come here." ”

But the flames were still approaching, and when the distance was not far away, Tang Zhou found that it was two people each holding a lantern, and there was an acquaintance among them, who was the scholar, and the other was a child. This time, he was relieved and couldn't help asking, "Sir, why are you here?"

The scholar saw Tang Zhou clearly and smiled slightly, "Who should I be, it turned out to be you, of course I came here to pick ghosts and cut grass, this herb can only be found in the night cemetery." ”

The little boy smiled even more: "Sir, these two guys are really cowardly, they were scared unconscious, hehehe." ”

Tang Zhou couldn't help but show a shy smile, he thought that he was going to defect to this scholar, so he said, "It's just right, sir, I'm going to take my wife to you overnight." ”

The scholar nodded, "Okay, wake up your wife first." As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and pinched the middle of the person, and with a casual force, Tang Zhou's wife slowly woke up.

Half a day later, the four of them were already in the pharmacy, and Tang Zhou took out the letter and the two big seals and handed them to the reader. After reading the letter, the reader took out a piece of yellow paper and stamped it with a large seal, and after reading it, he showed a surprised gaze, "This group of people is really planning a rebellion, this is the physical evidence, and you are the human witness." ”

Just when the scholar was happy, the woman pulled Tang Zhou aside and muttered in a low voice, "Xiao Zhou, he won't rob us of the credit!"

The scholar had already laughed, "Of course not, you two are key witnesses, and I will never be able to grab this credit." Don't worry, I'll prepare a carriage and take you to report the thieves. With this credit, you don't have to worry about it in your life, and you can directly increase your official position. But don't come back here, or you may suffer misfortune. ”

Tang Zhou and his wife showed joy, but Tang Zhou still asked, "Sir, what about you?"

The scholar smiled slightly, "Do you think that if you can easily see me, I will value money." After that, I will continue to practice medicine. ”

Tang Zhou couldn't help but show admiration.
