At the junction of Runing and Nanyang, on a remote mountain, there is a temple. The host of the temple can also be said to be the surname of the big boss. He is the Archmage of the Holy Spirit Society. Therefore, the followers of the Holy Spirit Society call him Master Mou.

The origin of Master Mu is all myths and legends anyway, and it boils down to one point: this Master Mu is the son of the Buddha.

At this point, we should understand. The Holy Spirit Society is a branch of the White Lotus Sect, and Master Mu is the leader of this branch.

In fact, the teachings of the various branches of the White Lotus Sect have never deviated from their origins, that is, a person who claims to be the son of the Buddha first began to give some small favors to the common people and gain prestige. Then he began to cheat money and sex. Zuihou incited believers to rebel. And he himself will be the son of heaven. It makes people sigh: This Buddha is not as good as heaven after all.

It was now the fourth day of Wu Shigong's return to the fortress of Qianhusuo. And on this day, Master Mu also got the news that at the junction of Guide and Jining, one of the rudders of their Holy Spirit Society was washed by the official army. Therefore, Master Mu immediately summoned all the elders of the Holy Spirit Society and the helmsman to discuss the situation.

After hearing the news. The elders and helmsmen of the Order of the Holy Spirit immediately split into two factions.

One faction of opinions is that it was just a fortuitous event. It must have been that rudder who didn't have long eyes and provoked the officers and soldiers, so he was washed. At present, the Holy Spirit Society has not been exposed, otherwise, the officials and soldiers would have begun to purge the Holy Spirit Society in various places. So, the Holy Spirit will have to look at the situation.

On the other hand, the Holy Spirit will be in Guide, which has had two recent setbacks. In addition to the baptism of the rudder, a few days ago, several backbone members of the Holy Spirit Society who encouraged the people were beheaded by the officials and soldiers. And these two incidents were all done by a thousand households under Dewei. Therefore, it is not certain that the thousand households have already found some clues of the Holy Spirit Society. Therefore, a rebellion should arise immediately.

The argument reached zuihou, and the words of a cronie of Master Mu touched the heart of Master Mu. He said: "Whether the officers and soldiers find out or not, the time is now ripe for rebellion. Since the beginning of the year, not a single drop of rain has fallen, and this year there will be no harvest in many places. And now it has come to the time of green and yellow, and many people's homes have run out of food. ”

"Now, as long as the archmage ascends to the top and shouts, then the people are not allowed to follow the uprising? At that time, the archmage will be the emperor, and we are all the founding heroes. Eat fragrant and drink spicy food together, and live a good life. ”

The words of that cronie immediately touched Master Mu's heart. Grand Master Mu had long wanted to take off his robe and change into a dragon robe. Therefore, Master Mu immediately ordered: let these elders and helmsmen return to their own territory as soon as possible to prepare, and ten days later, they will rebel together.

Wu Shigong didn't know that because of his two mistakes, the Holy Spirit would be about to rebel. He was now receiving an inexplicable debt collector.

On this day, Wu Shigong received a report from Chang Meng, saying that several people claiming to be the yamen of the governor of Henan came to find Wu Shigong. Wu Shigong was puzzled by these visitors.

Although, Wu Shigong, the acting thousand households, is under the management of the governor of Henan. However, the official ranks of the two of them are too far apart. It's like the modern situation when a provincial governor suddenly sends someone to a county to find the head of the armed forces of the county.

Wu Shigong was confused and invited them in. The person in the lead introduced himself and said: His surname is Ling, and he is the master of the governor of Henan. I came to Wu Shigong for something important.

After letting everything retreat, Master Ling gave Wu Shigong a letter and an IOU of five thousand taels.

It turns out that this matter has to start from the beginning. Didn't Wu Shigong become a son-in-law at that time, and his father-in-law Xue Lian later solved three official positions for the Wu Mansion? In addition to the seventh brother Wu Shili, who is now working as a scribe in the Criminal Department, are there two other brothers who are going out to be officials? This letter was written by one of Wu Shigong's brothers. And that IOU is also what he owes.

Wu Shigong's brother is his fifth brother, named Wu Shiwen. Wu Shiwen saw that his brother chose to go to Jiangnan to be a county magistrate, and he pondered in his heart: although Jiangnan is rich, the county is the second-in-command in the county after all, and his local prestige is not great.

So, Wu Shiwen chose to go to Guizhou to make a county order. Wu Shigong thinks about it this way: The county magistrate in a poor place does not necessarily earn less than the county magistrate in a rich place. Besides, after making the county order, he will be the real soil emperor in this county.

In a word, Wu Shiwen wants material civilization and spiritual civilization, and both hands should be hard.

But at that time, there was a vacancy in the county order in Guizhou? On the one hand, of course, this is a poor area for the old and the young, and the Jinshi are reluctant to come to this place to be officials. On the other hand, there has just been a rebellion here, and the situation is rather chaotic.

However, Wu Shiwen is not worried about the unrest. Because in his mind, the rebellion of luxury has been quelled. For a period of time, it should be said that Guizhou is still quite safe.

But Wu Shiwen didn't expect that the rebellion of Lu'an had not subsided at all, but only ended temporarily. When Wu Shiwen first took office, the situation in Guizhou was quite stable. However, after more than a year of stability, the extravagant rebellion broke out again.

A few months ago, the Nahao'an rebels hit Wu Shiwen's county seat. Wu Shiwen has no determination to live and die with the city at all. Immediately abandon the city and flee. At this time, we can't take care of any material civilization and spiritual civilization, so let's save our lives first. So, Wu Shiwen ran to the city where he was in one go.

Fortunately, the city was strong and there were many defenders, and finally the Lu'an rebels were blocked. After the vacancy is settled, the mansion will settle accounts with Wu Shiwen.

Although it is no longer the early years of the Ming Dynasty, the officials who abandoned the city and fled were all beheaded and questioned. However, the charge is solid. It can be strictly enforced and Wu Shiwen killed, or Wu Shiwen can only be dismissed. It depends on Wu Shiwen's life.

In the final analysis, it depends on how much silver Wu Shiwen gave to that mansion. Of course, Wu Shiwen was very interested, and immediately negotiated the price with that mansion. However, Wu Shiwen fled in a hurry, and he didn't have so much silver around him. That Fuzun was also refreshing, and asked Wu Shigong to write an IOU of five thousand taels.

Nafuzun is not afraid of Wu Shiwen's account. Wu Shiwen can run away, but the Gongshun Hou Mansion can't run away.

However, that Fuzun did not want to go to the capital to ask for debts. On the one hand, there are no relatives and friends in the capital; On the other hand, there are many people in the capital, and Nafuzun doesn't want to let too many people know about this after all. So, he asked Wu Shiwen: Are there any relatives and friends who are officials in Henan? Because, Nafuzun's elder brother is the governor of Henan.

At this time, in order to save his life, Wu Shiwen could fish with a straw. He remembered that when he was reading the Di newspaper, he seemed to see his fourteenth brother Wu Shigong go to Henan to be the acting Qianhu, so he reported Wu Shigong's name.

The next, of course, was: Nafu Zun asked Wu Shiwen to write a letter to Wu Shigong, and sent the letter and the IOU to his brother as governor of Henan. The governor of Henan sent this Master Ling to Wu Shigong to ask for debts.

After understanding the whole process, Wu Shigong was dumbfounded, he didn't expect that he was sitting at home, and there were disasters coming to his door.

And the matter of the fifth brother Wu Shiwen, since he has come to Wu Shigong, Wu Shigong can't ignore it. Don't say that the governor of Henan is his head, his head...... Boss. Even if the fifth brother Wu Shiwen treats himself badly in the Wu Mansion, Wu Shigong can't not save the fifth brother Wu Shiwen when he sees death. After all, they are brothers, and blood is thicker than water.

It's better to pinch your nose and admit it. Wu Shigong took out five thousand taels of silver and handed it to that Master Ling. But in this way, the cash around Wu Shigong, except for the 1,000 taels of gold, is completely gone. As for the goods obtained from the robbers, Wu Shigong still wanted Yuan Xingshan to transport them to Jining and sell them at a good price.

But just when Wu Shigong was in such a bad mood, the Qi county order sent someone to ask Wu Shigong to go to the county government to discuss matters.

That Qi County Commander is not a person who does not do things. Seeing that the drought was so severe, he thought about asking the big families in the county to donate some food and set up a few porridge farms to relieve the victims.

After Wu Shigong arrived at the county office, as soon as he heard that it was this matter, his anger came up. These officials really think they are Tang monk meat, and everyone wants to take a bite. Besides, Wu Shigong had already donated 500 stone of grain when he was running a righteous warehouse. Therefore, Wu Shigong rejected Qi County's order.

Naqi County Ling was actually in a very bad mood at this time. I was about to be transferred, but I didn't expect to encounter such an unfortunate thing as a drought. And now, Wu Shigong, a 25,000 household, does not give himself face as a county magistrate.

So, both sides of the fire, quarreled on the spot in the county office. Anyway, Wu Shigong was a wild player, and Qi Xianling was an elegant player, and the two were evenly matched. zuihou, the two parted unhappily.
