Chapter 990 Huizhou Story (First update, please subscribe)
In Daming, there are churches, Sanqing Taoist temples, and monasteries, but there are no nunneries.

Why?

The reason for the extermination of Buddhism is the same as that of the Three Wus and one sect - to compete for manpower.

It is not certain whether Chinese descendants in Ming Dynasty are human mines.

But Chinese descent is definitely the most precious resource, the kind that is related to the lifeline of the country.Therefore, both men and women have their own responsibilities.

Men are labor force and women are productive forces.

Since Daming had more men than women since the days of the company, nunneries were restricted. However, this did not prevent women from Daming from entering and leaving the monastery as believers, burning incense and praying for their families.

As in the past, most of the people who come to the temple to worship the Buddha on weekdays are women. There are several women kneeling on the futon in front of the Buddha statue enshrined in the main hall. Pray for the amulet, which she gave to her husband.

After obtaining the amulet, she left the monastery and walked quietly on the street. When she arrived at the bus stop, she was the only Ming person among the people waiting on the platform, and most of the others were of European descent.

This phenomenon is very common in the Twelve Northern Provinces. After all, the Twelve Northern Provinces are the territory of the former Brazilian Empire and are newly occupied areas. The local population structure is still changing a little bit.

Rio de Janeiro in 1881 was still prosperous, but this city with a population of 50 was still dominated by European residents. Even after the Ming Dynasty occupied the city, it used various means to increase immigration here, but the Ming people The population is only 10 people.

Here, Chinese descendants are the minority.

While standing on the platform waiting for the bus, Otsuki turned his head and glanced at the bus stop sign, where the Chinese characters were painted over and changed into Portuguese.Most of the people around are also speaking in Portuguese.

"Ming country guy, get out..."

Although the writing on the bus stop sign will soon be removed, it is still there.

Resistance is everywhere, and for the past four years the people of Rio de Janeiro have resisted the Ming rule in their own way.

But on the other hand, they had to accept the rule of Ming Dynasty.

Now there is not a Portuguese newspaper here, there is not a Portuguese school, and of course even the bus drivers speak Chinese.

The moment the door opened, the driver of the bus yelled in Mandarin with a Henan accent.

"Passengers who get on the bus go back, go back a little..."

Similarly, the conductor also asks passengers where to get off in Chinese. Even the most stubborn people can only speak Chinese at this time.

Dayue, holding on to the armrest, listened to those people saying the place names in blunt Chinese, she just quietly looked at the city outside the car window.

What about this exotic city that was once the capital of the Brazilian Empire?But it was only the Huizhou of the empire. Why did we use "Huizhou"? The imperial court took the word "Hui" to mean "restraint and stability", and of course it also included the meaning of "stability".

This is of course a good expectation, but all of this has nothing to do with Da Yue. What is her only expectation?
Of course, the husband can return safely every day.

Her husband is a policeman who patrols the streets every day, and no one knows whether he will encounter resistance elements while handling the case.This is also the reason why she went to the temple to ask for a peace talisman, nothing more than to pray for the blessing of the Buddha.

"Today, he should get off work on time!"

Otsuki's hopes will eventually be shattered, and when she was expecting her husband to come home from get off work on time, several police cars were parked by a beach a few kilometers away.

Ma Rulong, who was standing by the car, took the last puff of his cigarette, and then threw the cigarette butt on the ground.Then he said to his partner.

"Ahu, help me buy a pack of cigarettes."

After all, he walked towards the sea.

Straight across the beach, after walking to the scene, the corpse came into his sight.

This is the body of a middle-aged man.The figure looks strong.There was some seaweed on the body, the back was down, the upper body was stranded on the beach, the arms were outstretched, and there was a very obvious gun hole in the back of the head. Obviously, the cause of his death was a bullet in the head.The body had apparently been washed from the sea.

"Who found the body?"

Without taking his eyes off the corpse, Ma Rulong asked the policeman next to him.

"Inspector Ma, these are some kids who play football here."

The patrolman answered truthfully.

Ma Rulong nodded.

"When did you find it?"

"An hour ago, Inspector. We were about to get off work, and the patrol came across the kids. We got here in five minutes, and then called the bureau."

"Okay, I know"

As Ma Rulong said, he took out a pencil from his pocket, opened the collar of the corpse, and observed it carefully for a while.

The patrolman standing beside asked curiously.

"Inspector, what are you looking at?"

"This person's clothes look neat. Most Latinos have the habit of doing laundry in the laundromat. They are used to embroidering their names on the collar tags..."

Ma Rulong explained that it sounded like he was teaching apprentices rather than investigating cases.

"Did you see it?"

"No, Inspector, what does it mean that he has no name on his collar?"

Smiling, Ma Rulong looked around and said.

"There are only two kinds of people who can't embroider their names. One is the poor, but he is obviously not. The other is the resistance elements. In order not to attract the attention of the secret police, the members of these resistance organizations have strict attire— — cannot wear clothes or hats with their own names embroidered on them.”

"Inspector, you mean, this guy is a resistance element, so how did he die?"

Staring at the corpse on the beach, Ma Rulong thought for a while and said.

"Maybe it was an internal execution, he should be a collaborator..."

Put the pen back into the pocket, Ma Rulong said.

"Contact the Security Bureau. If there is no accident, this guy should be their informant."

Ma Rulong knew this kind of informant. Some of them were cooperators motivated by money, and some were forced to cooperate after being arrested. However, no matter what the reason was for them to become informants, once their identities were revealed, they would definitely be executed.

Those resistance groups have never been soft-hearted people.

After leaving the beach, it was not until Ma Rulong came to the car that Ah Hu, who had been late, came over and complained.

"Inspector, I was delayed buying cigarettes just now. The grocery store owner talked nonsense. He said that his neighbor kept using the toilet every night. He couldn't sleep because of the noise. He wanted to complain to the neighbor. The police come to the door, that guy is really, what are we police? Even if we control the world, can we control other people's shit and fart?"

Ma Rulong, who was unwrapping a cigarette, listened to his partner's complaints. He was not interested in it at first, but just as he took out the cigarette, he asked as if he suddenly thought of something.

"Wait, you mean, does he use the toilet a lot at night?"
