013 Omen of prosperity

After Fang La and the others left the temple, Zhao Ji immediately turned his head and asked Qiao Feng: "Brother Qiao, you have fought with two of them in this line, what do you think of their martial arts?"

Qiao Feng pondered for a moment after hearing this, and then said: "Although the internal strength of the man who made the big knife is a little worse, the tiger's mouth is heavily cocooned, and the knife is certainly not weak. That Fang Lafang Sect Master, I only touched his palm once, I really can't figure out his depth, if you want to distinguish the winner from the loser, at least you have to make a hundred and ten moves. As for the monk and scholar, they have strong steps and long qi veins, and they should all be martial arts masters who cultivate both internally and externally. ”

Zhao Ji sighed after hearing this: "I can't imagine that their martial arts are so skillful, if they want to use those officials of Kaifeng Mansion, they will definitely not be arrested, and they will hurt people's lives in vain." It's a pity that I can only let them leave Bianliang first. ”

Qiao Feng's face changed after hearing this, but he opened his mouth but didn't make a sound, as if he had something on his mind. Seeing Qiao Feng like this, Zhao Ji smiled and said, "Brother Qiao, do you think they don't sin to death?"

Qiao Feng was silent for a moment before he spoke: "Although the big man surnamed Shi was vulgar and rude and offended Zhao Gongzi, he didn't have too vicious intentions. As for that Fang Sect Master's desire to ask for an explanation for his brothers, it is also a common habit in the rivers and lakes......"

Zhao Ji shook his head with a smile and said: "Although my self-cultivation is not as high as Cheng DΓΉ, I will not kill people because of this little thing." The reason for this idea is because of Namanichaeism. ”

"What's wrong with Manichaeism? I have also heard of this sect, and it is said that the people who join the sect are all brothers and help each other, and they help some poor people to fight against the local evil gentry and tycoons, so they are very popular in the territory of the two Zhejiang. And although these people are strong in martial arts, they have no name in the rivers and lakes, so it can be seen that they are not aggressive people. Although the big man surnamed Shi treated people badly, the scholar also said that he would punish him with canons, which shows that the canons are still very strict......"

When Zhao Ji heard this, he couldn't help frowning, and said in a condensed voice: "As far as you can see, Brother Qiao, this Manichaeism has a lot of momentum in Jiangnan?"

Qiao Feng pondered for a moment before nodding and said, "Yes, in the past few years, I have been to Jiangnan several times because of the affairs of the Gangzhong, and I have seen that many families believe in Manichaeism, and there are about one or two families of believers in ten households. ”

After a pause, he added: "Over the years, the new laws in the imperial court have been abolished, which has added a lot of burdens and troubles to the people. There is no shortage of local officials with despicable character who also take these opportunities to get up and down their hands, fish and meat in the township. Although Jiangnan has a reputation for being rich, the people are particularly harassed, so they are no better off than other places. This Manichaeism preached mutual help, so it attracted many people to believe, and in some places even a clan was a believer, as a way to fight against those who exploited the gentry and evil officials in the village. ”

Zhao Ji was silent after hearing this, he didn't doubt the phenomena Qiao Feng said. Since the Shenzong Dynasty appointed Wang Anshi to change the law, there have been disputes between the old and new parties in the court. Not to mention, a few years ago, the Empress Dowager of the Gao family, who was in power, appointed a group of old party courtiers to abolish all the new laws. However, with the death of the Empress Dowager Gao, the current official family began to govern in person, and the new party was once again used to restore the new laws one by one.

Zhao Ji does not have much in-depth research on history, nor does he have any experience in governing national affairs, but he has heard that if governing a large country is a small fresh, the government of the people is the most taboo to change the order of the day. Regardless of whether the new law is good or bad, the court ministers are in full swing, but the people are unbearable, and the vitality of the entire Great Song Dynasty has also been consumed in this dispute, and the party struggle is really misguided by the country!

Qiao Feng saw that Zhao Ji had been silent, and after thinking for a long time, he said again: "Although this Manichaeism has many followers, it does not have many evil traces. I once heard from our brothers in the beggars gang in Jiangnan that these Manichaeans were kind to people, and that some believers from wealthy families also did good deeds in building ditches and giving soup porridge during drought and flood years. Of course, there may be some conflicts with the government, and most of them are poor families who are really unbearable......"

Zhao Ji turned his head to Qiao Feng and smiled: "Listening to Brother Qiao, you talk about these good deeds of Manichaeism, I think of a person in the history books who can be compared with this Fang Sect Master. ”

"Oh, Zhao Gongzi, which one are you talking about?" Qiao Feng asked curiously, he said that so many good deeds and helplessness in Manichaeism were all things he had seen and heard, and he didn't add fuel to the fire, and the main purpose was not to let Zhao Ji bear the infamy of hurting the righteous man. Listening to Zhao Ji say that this Fang Lake can be compared with the big figures in history, I feel a little relieved. Although he is not a person who reads poetry and books, he feels that the characters who can leave a name in history must be extraordinary. When Zhao Ji said this, he should have given up the investigation.

Zhao Ji met Qiao Feng's gaze and said, "Zhang Jiao, the great sage and good teacher of the Han Dynasty. ”

Qiao Feng was stunned for a moment after hearing this, feeling that this name was somewhat familiar, and only after thinking carefully for a moment did he remember the story of the Three Kingdoms that he had heard told in the teahouse, he couldn't help but be shocked, and he kept silent at the moment, but his mind drifted to his beggars.

Zhao Ji saw that Qiao Feng's face was in danger, so he said: "Brother Qiao, you don't have to think about it, I evaluate Namanichaeism like this, it is because it is fundamentally different from the beggar gang. Although the beggar gang is far away from the rivers and lakes, they always pay attention to the ethics of the people of heaven and earth, and the morality of living in peace. However, Namanichaeism does not talk about this, and relies entirely on benevolence to win over the people to believe in their set of ideas, if they are immersed in prostitution for too long, over time, they will lack reverence for the worldly king's law, and this is the real source of chaos!"

When Qiao Feng heard this, his heart was slightly settled, and in a blink of an eye, he thought that the man named Shi Bao just now shouted that Zhao Guan's family couldn't control his head, and he couldn't help but deepen his understanding of Zhao Ji's words. At the same time, he was also secretly vigilant in his heart, and he must warn the gangs in Jiangnan not to approach these Manichaeans who have no king's law.

After talking to Qiao Feng, Zhao Ji's face sank, and he said to Liang Shicheng behind him: "Go and call the steward of this temple, I have something to interrogate them carefully!"

At the same time, Fang La led everyone to leave the Zoroastery and go to the street, and then went straight to the Watergate Wharf in the south of the city.

The big man Shi Bao said with some dissatisfaction: "Sect Master, are we really going to be threatened by that bastard boy to leave Bianliang City overnight? It's so demoralizing to leave in such a gloomy way!"

The scar-faced Baoguang monk also said in an urn voice: "Yes, what did that kid say about the 800,000 forbidden troops in Bianliang City, it seems that he can command those sergeants." If it weren't for the strong martial arts of the man next to him, I would have killed half of his life immediately, and look at him who dares to speak out!"

The Confucian student behind Fang La said faintly: "Don't gossip about the two of you, although that young man has no martial arts, his momentum is extraordinary, and he is not an ordinary person. The servant beside him had a white face and a feminine temperament, as if he was a eunuch, and the two guards also had the appearance of a soldier. If my guess is correct, we have not yet decided whether this young man should be a clan noble, or if he can really command the forbidden army to make it difficult for us. More things are better than less, in this Bianliang City, if you really provoke a dignitary, it will be a trouble for us to deal with. ”

Fang La nodded and said, "The Seven Buddhas have observed carefully, and there are many details that even I have never seen. I was amazed that the young man could pronounce my name. To be honest, I didn't want to capture him and ask what happened, but when I slapped that man, I actually fell behind. If it weren't for the fact that I secretly diverted some of his palm power with the Great Shifting Divine Skill, it would be difficult for me to maintain an equal situation with him. Of course, if I really give up my life, I will not be afraid of him. It's just that we came to Bianliang City to fight fiercely. That being the case, why not just avoid him. ”

Hearing this, the faces of the three people around Fang La all changed suddenly, and Shi Bao couldn't help but exclaim: "Sect Master, you have already practiced the Great Shifting Divine Skill to the third level, and it is difficult to match those long-famous grandmasters on the rivers and lakes. That man is only in his thirties, how can he practice such a strong internal skill!"

Fang La shook his head and said with a wry smile: "The world is so big, there are all kinds of strange people, Bianliang is the most prosperous place in the world, let's meet one here, it's not an uncommon thing." Besides, I usually focus on missionary work and take care of teaching affairs, and it is difficult for me to practice martial arts without distractions, so I don't expect martial arts to be invincible in the world. ”

Monk Baoguang muttered: "That man's martial arts are so strong, he shouldn't be an unknown person, since his surname is Qiao, could it be the North Qiao Peak that is rumored on the rivers and lakes?"

Before he finished speaking, the Confucian Fang Seven Buddha shook his head and said: "This is impossible, Qiao Feng is the leader of the beggar gang of the No. 1 gang in the rivers and lakes, and that young man is the clan lord of Bianliang City. There is no boundary between the two at all, how could Qiao Feng protect that young man closely! In my opinion, this person should be a master cultivated by the imperial court, didn't he say that the Kyoto Imperial Boxing Gym was abolished a few years ago? Now it seems that instead of being abolished, many great masters have been cultivated! Sect Master, in the future, we will have to be more restrained in our missionary work, and try to avoid confrontation with the government. If there is really such a group of masters going south, it will not be a good thing for our Mingjiao. ”

After Fang La heard this, his face couldn't help but be scolded, and after a moment of silence, he said: "This matter must be remembered, you must also pay attention in the future, especially Shi Bao, restrain your temperament, don't show off your martial arts in front of people, and compete with others!"

Being reprimanded by name, the big Han Shibao looked ashamed, and asked instead: "Yes, sect leader, how did you talk to the Persian monk?"

Speaking of this, Fang La's face turned slightly pale, and he said with a smile: "Although our Ming Sect has a different pattern, it is of the same origin as this Persian Zoroastrianism. I have benefited a lot from coming to Bianliang City to learn from the scriptures, and I have made up for many omissions in our teachings, and after I rush back to Qingxi, I will carefully sort them out and keep them in the teaching, and pass them on from generation to generation, which will be of great benefit to our Mingjiao inheritance!"

While talking, the group rushed to the dock to board the passenger ship, left Bianliang overnight, and headed south.
