Picked up a copy of Romance of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 218
Continuing to walk on the country road, Zhang Jiao said, "Let's take a rest at the inn for the time being and visit the old man tomorrow."

His disciples looked at each other, and one of them asked: "Master, this man was only the son of the emperor's housekeeper when he was young, not to mention he is old and weak now, why do we have to visit him many times?"

"Hahaha~~" Zhang Jiao suddenly laughed when he heard this, and didn't answer again. Although the disciples didn't get the answer, they still stayed by Zhang Jiao's side and stayed with him. The servants and servants also rushed to the post station. In Jiedu Pavilion, Uncle Liu's prestige was still very high. The post station officials arranged several rooms for these servants near Zhang Jiao.

So that they can fulfill Uncle Liu's orders.

After moving in with his disciples, Zhang Jiao sat alone in the dormitory, holding a roll of bamboo slips, and sighed helplessly. He studied Hebei Taiping Dao, and in essence, it has the same origin as Zhang Heng’s Huang Lao Dao, but, Different from Yizhou, Jizhou and Yanzhou are all the confidantes of the Han Dynasty. If Taipingdao wants to prosper, it must obtain the support of the imperial court.

Zhang Heng and the others are able to roam around Hanzhong County at will to preach, heal people and save lives, and spread faith everywhere. That is because they are originally local tyrants, they have the support of the local family, and they do not have the power of the government to intervene. Zhang Jiao They have worked much harder, and they don't even have the qualifications to travel to preach. In this era, if they want to go out, they need to pass the test. If they don't, they will be caught by the officials along the way!
Zhang Jiao also dissipated his family property and saved people everywhere. Only then did he gain the respect of the local people, and then he was qualified to preach everywhere, and he was recognized by the local officials. It is said that they are in order to maintain the safety of the canal that is about to be built. After they arrived, they quickly arrested hundreds of alchemists.

On the charge of slandering the emperor, he was directly brought into the Xiuyi Prison, and he still does not know whether he is alive or dead.

Under the full suppression of the imperial court, Zhang Jiao fell into a difficult situation, and his followers were dwindling day by day. When a disaster happened, the imperial court did its best to relieve the disaster, leaving him with no room for development, and even faced the possibility of being arrested by the embroidered clothes envoy. At this time, Zhang Jiao suddenly figured out the danger of being arrested. Instead of thinking about how to escape the court's arrest, it is better to join the court directly.

The alchemists of the great Han Dynasty served the imperial court and the emperor. There are countless alchemists. In almost every prosperous age, there will be faint shadows of alchemists. Some of these alchemists were killed, some escaped, and some died well. Zhang Jiao also had such expectations in his heart, and under such expectations, he came to Luoyang to meet the emperor, but he only had some prestige in a small area of ​​Hebei.

In Luoyang, he is nothing.

He asked several times, but the soldiers guarding the city gate did not even respond to the notification. He even contacted the eunuchs in the palace, because these eunuchs are more greedy for money. If he can use money to see the emperor, he is also willing, but He never imagined that none of the eunuchs in the palace would dare to accept bribes. He never imagined that he was not the only one who was afraid of the embroidered messenger.

With Zhang He staring at the side, these Huangmen dare not accept any bribes. Zhang He has obtained the true inheritance of Yang Qiu, and now the notoriety of tyranny is even comparable to Yang Qiu!

Zhang Jiao couldn't see Zhang Jiao several times, but in desperation, he finally came to Xiedu Pavilion. He knew that this old man could definitely help Zhang Jiao. Zai, he must be very loving. If he can get on this boat, his ambition to preach to the Quartet will be successful.

Quietly at night, outside the post station, several men in black quietly gathered together. Looking at each other, they slowly came to the house where Zhang Jiao was. They were obviously premeditated, and slowly pulled out the With the sharp sword at his waist, he started to move.

The next day, Zhang Jiao woke up early, and without disturbing the rest of his disciples, went outside, ate, and read the Taoist scriptures again.
Looking at him with a smile, he asked, "How was your rest yesterday?" Zhang Jiao thanked him gently, "Very well, thank you for your hospitality!" The old official smiled and began to tidy up the courtyard. Also got up to help.

However, they were rejected by the old officials. Zhang Jiao's disciples came to their senses one by one. However, when it was almost noon, there were still two people who hadn't left the house. This made the rest of Zhang Jiao's disciples a little angry. Zhang Bao, one of the disciples, got up and walked towards the two people's rooms. Zhang Jiao was not organized either, and after only a moment, they heard Zhang Bao's exclamation!

Several people got up immediately and ran over, Zhang Jiao followed behind them.

Zhang Bao stared at the room dumbfounded. As soon as the other people approached, they smelled the pungent smell of blood. After the door was opened, the smell of blood rushed out, almost knocking Zhang Baoxun out. Going in, looking over, the room was covered with a pool of blood, the blood had solidified and turned pitch black, and strangely, there were no corpses on the ground.

The room was empty, there was only a lot of blood, Zhang Jiao and many disciples hurried in and searched around, but there was no one in the room, Zhang Bao looked into the room in some horror, stood up, tremblingly said: "It was like this when I came in! They were killed! They were killed!" Zhang Jiao turned his head and said sternly, "Quickly report to the authorities!"

The disciples rushed out quickly. Zhang Jiao looked at the pool of blood, speechless for a long time. Yesterday, Zhang Jiao didn't sleep so soundly. The pool of blood was all over the ground, but he didn't hear any screams of fighting and screaming. When I got up, I couldn't help but make people feel a little scared, while the old post station official at the side was already trembling with fright, completely speechless.

After a while, a large number of soldiers rushed to the post station. This is the former residence of the emperor. There are many soldiers left behind, and they are relatively elite. Dozens of soldiers rushed here. After hearing the narration of Zhang Jiao and others After that, he immediately reported it to the county officials. For a while, the capital of Hejian Kingdom was shaken again. Two people were killed.
The county officials hadn't arrived yet, but Liu Bo, who was trembling, came here with the support of a dark domestic slave. Seeing this man, many soldiers also hurriedly saluted, not only because of his age, but also because of his age. Because of his identity, Uncle Liu walked in, ignored everyone's salutes, and quickly asked, "What happened here? Who was murdered?"

Zhang Jiao got up, and said in a lonely voice, "It's my disciples. The two disciples are missing, and there are only some bloodstains on the ground." He pointed to the room and said, Uncle Liu hurried into the room, looked around, and suddenly became angry. Everyone trembled, his face turned red, he gritted his teeth, and shouted viciously: "Bold madman, bold madman, how dare you commit a crime here!!"
