The fighting lasted for four days, and many people died, and the people around Luanzhou were also panicked and did not dare to go out these days. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

Four days later, the officers of the county government began to come out to fetch people, and they posted notices everywhere, saying that the two cults were fighting each other, in short, it meant dog eating dog. In addition, the cult in Luanzhou has been ambushed, and all the remaining people have been arrested, so that the people can go to the streets with peace of mind and no longer have to worry.

In the prison, Xia Hongsheng personally showed his face and released his own people in front of those Maitreya disciples.

"You've done a great job. After returning to Chang'an this time, the court will have a heavy reward. After Xia Hongsheng asked people to let those people go, he said: "You are righteous and Bo Yuntian, for the people of Luanzhou to get rid of this cult, I have thanked you on behalf of the people of Luanzhou." ”

"Grandpa doesn't have to be like this!" One of those people, who looked very old, came out and said with a smile: "Decades ago, Maitreya taught to do something, and I saw it with my own eyes. Although it is anti-Sui, but not a righteous army, bewitched a lot of people, chaos everywhere, many people ate the pills of Maitreya, and became the six relatives do not recognize the monster who kills people everywhere, as if they don't know the pain, cut off their hands and feet, and bite with their mouths, until the blood is exhausted, and there are many people who are bewitched. Other families teach people to be good and do good deeds, but just looking at it but advocating murder, you can see that it is not a very good thing. ”

"Uncle Chongshan, haven't you killed many people too?" Someone next to him teased.

"There is a way to kill the so-called, and the one killed by a certain family, dare to say that none of them are not innocent." The man puffed up his chest very proudly and said, "That Maitreya is different, killing everyone, lest the world be chaotic, it will not be a good thing." ”

On one side, everyone loosened their ties and spoke beside them, but on the other side, those people from the Maitreya Sect who were arrested were confused, and they didn't know why.

"You...... You are not the Red Lotus Sect! Finally understood: "You are from the imperial court!" ”

Xia Hongsheng turned his head and stared at the person who spoke: "Don't you recognize me?" Didn't you threaten Lin Ergou to come to me, didn't you go to Chang'an to greet me? Why don't I recognize me when I stand in front of you today? ”

Xia Hongsheng's eyes swept over the faces of the group of people, paused, and said, "I know, you are all minions." You were sent to Luanzhou because you were ordered to come and find the followers of the Red Lotus Sect and persuade them to join the Maitreya Sect. Or he pretends to be a Red Lotus Sect, making people think that Maitreya Sect is the Red Lotus Sect. You are just obeying the orders of others, and if anyone can explain where your leader is hiding, and is willing to cooperate with the imperial court to find a Maitreya stronghold in other places, I will release him and ensure his glory and wealth in this life. ”

After that, Xia Hongsheng continued to glance around, and saw that no one spoke, so he said: "Maitreya Sect is a cult strictly banned by the imperial court. Today, I will give you a chance, if you denounce the Maitreya Sect, you can be released on the spot, go out and return to your home, and be honest. Otherwise, it will be handed over to the judges, and this will be the end of what we just said. ”

Still no one spoke.

Xia Hongsheng turned around and left there.

Back at the county office, Xia Hongsheng asked Zhang County Commander to come over.

"These Maitreya disciples will be handed over to Zhang County. Zhang County's order can be written to inform the company, and the department will make a decision to deal with it. Xia Hongsheng said to Zhang County: "However, when dealing with these people, Zhang County's order must have multiple hearts, and deliberately let go of those who have lotus patterns tattooed on their wrists." ”

"Huh? Why let it go?! Zhang Xianling was surprised.

"The outer capital is the Red Lotus Sect and the Maitreya Sect fighting, I have to let the Maitreya Sect know that it is not the Red Lotus Sect that destroyed the Maitreya Sect in Luanzhou, but me." Xia Hongsheng said with a smile: "I have my own intentions, and Zhang Xian ordered to do it." ”

Zhang County has been an official for many years, so he naturally knows that he can't ask more. So he didn't ask much, but bowed and took the order.

"Alright, that's it. I have to go back, too. Xia Hongsheng said: "Zhang County's order, please pay more attention in the future, don't let these cults rekindle again." ”

"The subordinate obeys!" Zhang Xian Ling said: "Please rest assured, Young Master Xia, the lower officials will never let the cult in Luanzhou appear again!" ”

Xia Hongsheng nodded, didn't stay long, and soon left the county office.

Back home, Lin Ergou was teaching the boy named Xiao Bantou to make those things in the kitchen, while his woman was cleaning up things, the eldest baby was already sensible, helping his mother tidy up together, and the child was still young, catching ants under the old tree outside the door.

It would take a few days for Lin Ergou to hand over the things to the young man before he could leave.

The matter of Maitreya is temporarily over in Luanzhou. But outside of Luanzhou, it's just getting started.

After the events in Luanzhou, the people of the Maitreya Sect will definitely find Gongsun Hongyu again. This time, Gongsun Hongyu agreed to cooperate with the Maitreya Sect. Then, it was she who figured out the rudder of the Maitreya Sect in various places, and then reported it to the imperial court one by one to exterminate it.

In fact, Xia Hongsheng knew that the best way to eliminate the cult was not to crack down on it, not to exterminate it, but to enlighten the people's wisdom. The people have knowledge and are not ignorant, so naturally no one will be deceived and deceived. But how hard is that! Even in the later generations where Xia Hongsheng is located, there are still cults from time to time.

Historically, the emergence of these civil associations has its advantages. But now Datang is in a rising period of enlightenment, and it is changing for the better, and there can be no unstable factors.

Xia Hongsheng shook his head, and the number of pilot counties for compulsory education has reached dozens. But when it will be implemented throughout Datang is still unclear. There are too many constraints. It's not that there are no states and counties willing to become pilots, and it's not that there are no people who want to accept them, but there are too few people who can go to compulsory education. There is a serious shortage of teachers.

It was also time to open a separate specialized teachers' college in Jingyang Academy.

Popularizing education and opening up the wisdom of the people is the best way to fight against ignorant cults.

This matter is on the agenda.

A light breeze came, and Xia Hongsheng raised his head and looked up at the sky. Away from the hustle and bustle, it is also a very pleasant thing for a person to think leisurely - when he goes back to Chang'an, he is a minister, a parent, and a husband, but at this moment, he is himself.

There is a saying that middle-aged men are the loneliest, because when you look around, there are people who rely on him, but there is no one he can rely on.

At this moment, Xia Hongsheng suddenly felt such a faint sense of loneliness.

"What do you think again?" Seeing Xia Hong's rise to his senses, Li Fengxiao asked.

"It's a very comfortable thing to be alone for a moment like this, away from the hustle and bustle." Xia Hongsheng said to Li Feng: "Let's stay a few more days!" ”
