Chapter 660: All three religions and nine streams are disciples

Bian Wu opened the window and pointed outside.

I looked out the window.

On the left is a high-rise building, in the middle is a small park, on the left is an earth-yellow wall, and inside the wall is a residential area.

I said, "I don't see anything special."

Bian Wu explained: "Didn't you see that khaki yellow wall?"

"I saw it."

"Where's the alley exit under the wall?"

"I saw it too."

"From the exit of that alley, you can go inside to the back door of the Tian Family Courtyard. If Mr. Cui wants to leave the Tian Family Courtyard, he must leave through the back door of the Tian Family Courtyard. He will inevitably pass by the entrance of this alley. I just need to stay here. I’m not afraid of him slipping away.”

When Xiaozhu heard this, her beautiful eyes widened: "Why did he definitely leave through the back door?"

Bian Wu replied: "In the old society, there was a rule in the Tian Family Courtyard. Except for the three categories of people, the prime minister, the eldest brother, and the old relatives and friends, they could go through the front door. Everyone else could only enter and exit through the back door."

I was speechless and said: "What are the conditions of this family? They are so awesome!"

Bian Wu chuckled: "A hundred years ago, they were really powerful! But now is the new society. It is impossible for generals and ministers to prey on them, and they will still deal with them if they commit crimes. But the Tian Family Courtyard is still very important to people in the world. Follow the old rules. Mr. Cui is a member of the world, so he naturally has to abide by these rules. I watched him enter through the back door."

Xiaozhu was extremely surprised and asked: "What kind of person does it take to carry the world for a hundred years?"

Bian Wu said: "Let's put it this way, it turns out that the boss of the Laoliang Gang is not qualified to enter through the front door."

I said, "Stop being so pretentious and tell me the situation."

After Bian Wu explained.

I roughly know the origin of Tian Family Courtyard.

how to say?

It's quite a bit like the old and the young in the world.

The three most powerful organizations during the Ming and Qing Dynasties were the Salt Society, Hongmen, and Caogang.

The Salt Society recommends that everyone read "The Salt Merchants of the Qing Dynasty".

Hongmen was established in the early Qing Dynasty and originated from the Tiandihui.When Emperor Kangxi annihilated Southern Shaolin in Fujian Province, five people from Southern Shaolin escaped, including Su Dezhong, Fang Dahong, Ma Chaoxing, Hu Deli, and Li Shikai (these five people were also the Five Ancestors of New Shaolin).They were taken in by Chen Jinnan, the famous chief rudder of the Tiandihui, who asked them to open a branch of the Tiandihui, which was Hongmen.

The Caogang was specialized in river transportation. Traffickers, gangsters, and strangers gathered together to control the transportation of materials on the river, forming an extremely powerful force. At one time, the force was so powerful that it could threaten the Manchu court. Three of them The ancestor-level figures are Weng, Qian and Pan (these three are all from Hongmen).

Emperor Yongzheng was very troubled by them. Later, he accepted the advice of Tian Wenjing, the governor of Henan Province, and adopted a conciliatory policy. He recognized the Cao Gang as legal and allowed them to open classes and recruit disciples and be responsible for transporting money and grain by water, but they could not fight against the imperial court.

History always likes to play tricks on people.

The Tiandihui, whose mission was to fight against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty, gave birth to Hongmen. Three brothers from Hongmen established the Caobang, and the Caobang was appeased and incorporated by the Manchu Qing court.

But it is conceivable.

At that time, Caobang's status in the world could be described as being followed by all kinds of people, with disciples of all three religions and nine streams.

It was not until around 27 (the [-]th year of Guangxu's reign) that the water transport stopped and this group of people was completely disbanded (but after the disbandment, a small number of people made a name for themselves in the capital during the Republic of China. The most famous among them were Huang Jinrong and three others. People, I won’t go into details here).

Let’s mainly talk about Tian Wenjing, the governor of Henan Province, who suggested to Emperor Yongzheng to appease the Cao Gang.

During the most glorious period of his official career, he served as governor of Henan Province and Shandong Province, and was awarded the title of Minister of the Ministry of War, which shows how talented he is.

Tian Wenjing is an upright official in "Yongzheng Dynasty", but in reality there is controversy, especially among the people of Henan Province, who would drown him if they spit on him. This is because as a governor, he hid the disaster and refused to report it, which led to the deaths of the victims that year. Quite a few.Regardless of historical merits and demerits.

He has a title: the best governor in the world.

This is not self-proclaimed.

It was granted by Emperor Yongzheng.

In ancient times, the world actually contained two concepts: temples and rivers and lakes.

There is a poem that goes, "If you live high in a temple, you worry about its people; if you live far away from the rivers and lakes, you worry about your king." That's what it means.

Tian Wenjing's official position was large enough and his status in the temple was high enough.

But what about Jianghu status?

Why is it that he, the governor of the northern provinces of Henan and Shandong, can completely solve the southern water transportation problem that even Yongzheng had a headache with just one sentence (from a responsibility perspective, this is not his business), and he can still maintain it. By the end of the Qing Dynasty, there was no threat to the court?
Historical records have recorded that when Tian Wenjing governed the local area, the laws were extremely strict, and there were almost no thieves, strongmen, or bandits in the jurisdiction.

This description is simply incredible!
Not to mention that it was a feudal society at that time, even in modern society, no matter how strict the laws were, there were still many lawless elements.

Master Yongzheng knows the world well.

The title he gave Tian Wenjing was not a random one.

Tian's other identity was that of a super gangster at the time.

If you are far away from the rivers and lakes, you will worry about your lord.

He took care of the Cao Gang, but in fact, he used his status as a boss to relieve Yongzheng's worries.

The Tian Family Courtyard in front of us was said to have been a powerful place in the world back then, and it could command the world from within.

Bian Wu said: "Through the vicissitudes of life, the Tian family compound has been renovated and changed hands several times, but it has always been under the control of the Tian family. It is not an exaggeration to call it the holy place of the old world. No...Brother Su, I see You look like you don’t believe me!”

I:"……"

Bian Wu turned to Xiaozhu again and asked, "Girl Zhu, do you believe me?"

Xiaozhu scratched his head: "Fifth brother, he died early in the morning!"

Bian Wu almost choked to death at Xiaozhu's words.

I said: "Lao Wu, it's the 21st century now. If we talk about organizations that are allied for profit, such as tomb robbing groups, Xiangliu's underground counterfeiting, and Laoliang Gang to keep warm, these may all exist. But what about the Tian family that orders the world to carry the helm? , whether you believe it or not, I don’t believe it anyway. Taking a step back, how many people are there in the Tian family and what do they do? Why haven’t I heard of any of them? "

Bian Wu replied: "They don't have many people now!"

I was speechless: "There's no one there, just say nothing."

Bian Wu said: "Just because there are few people in the Tian family does not mean that there are no connections!"

I asked, "What do you mean?"

Bian Wu explained: "The Tian family is a mysterious century-old family. Although their descendants have faded out of the world, there are three religions and nine streams in the world. A hundred years ago, almost all were controlled by the Tian family, and then they spread out. Anyone in the world will bully. It is a grave sin for a master to destroy his ancestors, and they worship the Tian family as if they were worshiping their ancestors! If the Tian family wants to deal with these grievances in the world, there is almost nothing that cannot be resolved!"

I interrupted Bian Wu: "Why do I sound a bit like Lao Jiumen in the novel? Just sum it up in one sentence."

Bian Wu held it in for a long time, rolled his eyes and said two words: "Niubi!"

I said, "I seem to have been completely led astray by you! Let's not forget about the Tian family... Did Mr. Cui go in alone, or did he go in with the little tiger girl Hu Xin?"

Bian Wu replied: "Alone!"
