Volume 2 Qiantang Spring Tide Diagram Chapter 101 Interlude

As soon as he mentioned Mingjiao, Wang Xian remembered the sect leader of the melon Zhang, as well as the 'burn my body, the flame is blazing.' What is the joy of life, and why is it so painful to die? But soon he would remind himself, stop, stop, that was Master Jin's martial arts world.

But when he came to the Ming Dynasty, he realized that there was really a Ming religion in history, a sect with a great spirit of resistance, and after coming to China, it showed its restless face, and rebelled again and again from the Song Dynasty, which was naturally banned by the imperial courts of all dynasties, and turned from open to underground activities. In the last years of the Yuan Dynasty, the Ming Sect merged with its predecessor, the White Lotus Sect, an underground party.

At that time, most of the anti-Yuan rebels were under the banner of the two religions, with Han Lin'er, the leader of the sect, as the co-leader, and Zhu Yuanzhang, the Taizu of this dynasty, was also an armed force under his command. However, later on, their respective creations were different, and it became a situation where the lord was weak and the minister was strong. But when Zhu Yuanzhang built the capital of Nanjing and was preparing to open the country, he still sent someone to invite King Xiaoming to ascend to the pole, instead of directly calling himself a lonely widow.

Of course, on the way to Nanjing, King Xiao Ming happened to be drowned...... Zhu Yuanzhang became the emperor at this time. As a member of the Ming Sect, Lao Zhu knew very well the power of the secret sect, and gradually did not get along with the two religions after ascending to the pole, and later after his throne was stable, he adopted Li Shanchang's suggestion, and issued an edict to strictly prohibit the White Lotus Society and the Ming Sect, and the ban on the 'Left Path Evil Arts' was written into the "Great Ming Law", and since then the Ming Sect has been beaten into the cult and has become the object of the imperial court's strict defense.

The discovery of the Ming missionary report in Fuyang County was highly valued by the Yamen. In fact, in recent times, various states and counties have reported one after another, and there is ample evidence that the Mingjiao is taking advantage of the catastrophe to spread its activities on a large scale, and if it is not extinguished, it will inevitably cause a great disaster. It was Zhou Xin who reported to the imperial court on the one hand, and actively launched an arrest on the other.

Zhou Zhentai affirmed the plan reported by Fuyang County, and sent a thousand households to lead the troops to arrest him. In order not to startle the snakes, the officers and men disguised themselves as people who transported relief grain and grass and arrived in Fuyang County in the middle of the night......

Three days ago, a notice had been posted on the eight-character wall in front of the county yamen asking and beheading the demons of the cult. Early that morning, the county officials went to the embankment to clean the Dharma field and set up a platform. As soon as the hour passed, more than 100 people from Minzhuang, archers, military patrols, and soldiers from the Yamen of the Zhensi Yamen went out of the city and came to the court to guard the surroundings.

This dharma field is located on the bend of the river embankment, the river embankment was built a while ago, here is the most important thing, the thick river embankment as high as two zhang, like the arm bend of the giant, just hugging the execution ground in his arms.

The common people love to watch the excitement the most, in the peaceful years, the scenes of killing people are rare, and they also come in groups to see the excitement, before noon, the execution table is already pressed shoulder to shoulder, not to mention one or two thousand people? If it weren't for the official errand who was not allowed to go up the embankment, the embankment would definitely be full of people.

At this time, the prisoner had not yet arrived, but just looking at the empty execution table was enough for people to point fingers and discuss it.

"Listen to the explanation, the demons know all about witchcraft." The seventh brother who sold fish was curious: "If your head falls out, it can grow again." ”

"Nonsense." Zhu Dachang said disdainfully: "If the white knife goes in and the red knife comes out, it will be a death!" "He kills countless pigs all day long, and he never dares to believe in evil, otherwise the pressure will be too great.

"You're just talking nonsense, I've seen them perform invulnerability with my own eyes." The sixth uncle, who bought oranges, was convinced: "Those are all living immortals!" ”

"What if he dies?" Zhu Dachang glared.

"What if you don't die?" The sixth uncle also glared.

"It's better to take a gamble." Seventh Brother proposed,.

Listening to their discussions, a long-bearded man dressed as a scholar frowned imperceptibly, and the young man who looked like a scholar next to him muttered in a depressed voice: "A group of idiots, it's really not worth it for Li Xiang...... master."

The scholar glared at the scholar fiercely, and the scholar shrank his neck and closed his mouth, obviously afraid of him......

The scholar's gaze swept over the crowd, stopping for a moment on a group of Jianghu people who were selling medicine with sticks, then at a group of porters carrying burdens, and then at a group of beggars with dog-beating sticks, all of whom were his subordinates, but they didn't know him.

Seeing that all the people had arrived, he was a little relieved...... Yes, he came to rob the Dharma Field, although he knew that this was an extremely dangerous business, but he had to come here......

As soon as noon arrived, five prisoner vans, escorted by more than 200 officers and men, slowly drove to the execution ground. Also arriving at the same time was the supervisor and beheader, Wei Yuan, the magistrate of Fuyang.

Sitting down on the prison platform, Wei Yuan was a little nervous and said, "Will they really come?" ”

"If they don't come, they'll be finished." Wang Xian didn't wear a green shirt, but dressed as a long follower, standing behind Wei Zhixian, and whispered: "I can't even save my companions, but I'm embarrassed to save the world?" ”

"Will it hurt innocent people?" Wei Zhixian was a little worried.

"Probably not, but they are 'pitiful to my people and have many sorrows,' so how can they hurt the people?" Wang Xian shook his head and said.

"Alas, why do these cults always linger." Wei Zhixian sighed: "You can't live in peace." ”

"There are always restless people," Wang Xian said softly: "Besides, it is the soldiers of the Yamen who are responsible for arresting them, and the teacher just watches the play." ”

"Hmm." Wei Zhixian nodded and stopped talking. All he could hope for now was that everything would go well and that nothing would happen.

Not long after, the wardener of the torture room came to report: "It's three o'clock in the afternoon!" ”

Wei Zhixian nodded, but didn't say, 'Report the report!' Instead, he set his sights on the embankment.

I saw the sun shining on the embankment, reflecting a sparkling cold light. At some point, hundreds of archers, all of them kneeling on the embankment with bows and arrows. The cold glow was reflected by the heart guards on their bodies.

The sharp-eyed people whispered, and the crowd followed the voice, and there was a burst of panic.

"Everyone, don't be impatient!" Wei Zhixian stood up and said in a loud voice: "This official got a tip-off report that the demons of the Ming Sect have infiltrated among you, intending to rob the Dharma field and save the death row prisoner!" ”

The people who had just calmed down a little because of the appeasement of the county lord were even more panicked now.

"Now obey the orders of this official, no one is allowed to move, all squatting on the ground!" Wei Zhixian tore his throat and shouted: "If anyone moves, he will be punished as a demon, and he will be killed!" ”

Some people wanted to leave secretly, but they saw that officers and soldiers were coming down from the embankment in a steady stream, and they wanted to form an encirclement.

"Childe, what should we do?!" The scholar was in a hurry, "I'm going to be caught in the urn......"

"Don't panic!" The scholar let out a low snort, but his gaze was dim, obviously engaged in a fierce battle between heaven and man.

But some of the believers could not hold their breath, and the porters who carried the burden had already crowded to the periphery of the crowd, and then they ran away.

The officers and soldiers had not yet closed the siege, but they did not chase them, and watched them run out of the gap.

"Childe, let's hurry up, otherwise it's too late." The scholar urged again.

The scholar frowned, but remained silent. The scholar was so anxious that he stamped his feet, but he saw the porters running and standing on their feet.

It turned out that dozens of Yamen who were riding on horses were quick and blocked their way.

......The scholar sighed lightly and whispered to the scholar: "Don't act rashly, we are just here to visit the Fuchun River and watch the lively ...... along the way."

"And what about them?" The scholar was shocked.

"I can't care about that much." The scholar sighed and said: "If it is just the strong archers of the people in the county, we can come and go freely, but this is obviously an elite army that is accustomed to hunting and stealing, and no matter how high the martial arts are, it is not an opponent......

As he spoke, the group of Mingjiao disciples had already drawn their swords from their burdens and rushed towards the horses of the official mansion with a shout. Ma Kuai did not fight with them, but only dragged them back, and when the reinforcements came up, he overnumbered them and took down these disciples.

In the meantime, seeing that the encirclement was completed, Wei Zhixian ordered again: "Whoever points to it will come out, and those who don't point it are not allowed to get up, and those who don't follow are ruthless!" ”

There were Hu Zhutou and Zhang Mazi who caught a few people in their county, and they began to identify them one by one from afar: "Zhu Dachang!" "He Laoqi!" "Liu Liuzi!" "Chen Sanwu!" "Thursday Eleven!"

The old catchers for more than ten decades can really recognize these people.

Only five or six were called at a time, and those who were called by name got up and came out, walked out of more than ten zhang, and arrived in front of the official. Don't say it, tie it with hemp rope first, and then call the next group.

An hour later, the catchers were parched, and there were only two adults left in the field, which could not be named. Hu Zhutou pointed to a few of them and said, "You, you, you, you, you, come here!" ”

The five came over, the catchers were tied up, and Hu Zhutou pointed to the other five. And so on and so on, and the number of people in the field became smaller and smaller.

Hu Zhutou's tricks are very vicious, he picks the kind of points that are not Lianjiazi at first glance, and leaves some people with fierce faces, strong figures, or who seem to be Lianjiazi at the bottom.

Seeing that they were about to lose cover, the Yigan Ming Sect disciples were terrified, but the encirclement of the official army was getting smaller and thicker, making them completely lose the courage to resist.

In the end, the more than 2,000 people present were all taken by the officers and soldiers.

But it's not over yet, we have to single out the Mingjiao who are mixed with the people...... It is certain that there are cultists who have not been arrested, because the hunters were present and found dozens of blades of various colors that had been discarded......

So he interrogated the believers who had been arrested overnight and made them identify with them, but the Ming believers were all brainwashed, and they could not pry open their mouths with idle torture instruments.

When he was at a loss, Wang Xian came up with an idea and ordered the soap subordinates to take a big box and throw the Ming disciples tied into zongzi into it. Then let the soaps stuff their ears with cotton, and then each person took a copper spoon and a white porcelain bowl, put his hands into the box, and scraped the bowl with the spoon continuously.

The sound was so uncomfortable, creepy, and out-of-body that people outside the house couldn't help but cover their ears and hide away.

This method is so magical, before the tea is done, the noise stopped, and the soap Li came out to report that it had been recruited...... (To be continued)
