Jinyi Night Walk

Chapter 179

"This family is over."

Xia Xun couldn't bear to look at the corpses gathered in the living room, so he walked out of the living room of Li's house and sighed a long time.

He also knew that what Niu Buye did was not all to vent his anger and revenge, but also to warn those congregants.No matter how hard the court arrests them, it is impossible to arrest all the religious bandits. As long as they can keep a few leaders and the organization does not fester from the inside, they will be able to survive and make a comeback.

From the day the White Lotus Sect was born, it has been linked to rebellion.It originated in the Northern Song Dynasty, and it has been rebellious since the Northern Song Dynasty. In the Song Dynasty, it rebelled against the Song Dynasty, in the Jin Dynasty it rebelled against the Jin Dynasty, in the Yuan Dynasty it rebelled against the Yuan Dynasty, in the Ming Dynasty it rebelled against the Ming Dynasty, and in the Qing Dynasty it rebelled against the Qing Dynasty. Whoever is in power it opposes.

If you look carefully, the period of its rebellion may not all be at the end of a dynasty, when class conflicts are sharply intensified, but it occurs in any dynasty and at any time.If you have to say that it is an uprising against the government and the people, an uprising against the decadent feudal rule, then it is putting gold on its face.

In fact, in many cases, the rebellion is only because of the leader of the church, the bishops, marshals, and shopkeepers of the incense altar. Once those leaders have gained more power and absorbed enough congregants, their ambitions will be reduced. When it starts to grow, it starts to think about becoming a king and hegemony, conquering the world, sitting in the world, and becoming an emperor, which is not to mention doing justice for the sky, eradicating violence and peace, or any righteous uprising.

Today, Xia Xun witnessed their atrocities with his own eyes, and he was enraged. Originally, he went back to Shandong this time under the guise of investigating the Shandong government and cracking down on the religious bandits. His real purpose was only one: to win the understanding of the Peng family and take back his lady.Now, he has changed his mind. He wants to catch Niu Buye first, and he must bring this vicious thief to justice.

"Meet you for the first time, meet you for the first time..."

He suddenly remembered what Li Wei said, and immediately there was a faint thread in his mind, fluttering there gently, trying to catch it but couldn't.He stood there blankly for a while, and suddenly caught something, and then he turned around in a hurry and walked into the hall...

The murder of the Li family spread throughout the city, and it immediately had two diametrically opposed effects.On the one hand, Niu Buye's brutal massacre made many ordinary people strongly resist them, and complained less about the disturbing behavior caused by the government's search and arrest process. Even some low-quality patrol officers took the opportunity to blackmail them. I don't bother to care about evil deeds, I just hope they can bring these murderers to justice as soon as possible.

On the other hand, for fear of being punished by religious regulations, there are fewer and fewer people in the church who voluntarily surrender and report to others. Originally, because of the government's pressure and vigorous publicity, the Shandong Procuratorate has posted a notice that those who surrendered will be exonerated. Many common people turned themselves in to the government, and there was an endless stream of people before the court.

But as soon as the Li family murder happened, the number of surrenders decreased sharply, and most of the teaching people kept silent and distrusted the government.As a result, it became much more difficult for the government to arrest the religious bandits and expand the results of the war.

Niu Buye's goal has been achieved. On the one hand, he avenges his slain brothers, kills Li Yuan's family, wins a good name for himself, and strengthens the determination of the already panic-stricken disciples of our sect. , At the same time, it also stabilized his basic congregation. Although those people are just ordinary people, if they are used well, they can give them tips, provide cover, provide food and money, and they can be like ducks in water among the people. Walk freely underneath.

The bloody case of the Li family has become a weather vane for the contest between the government and Niu Buye. If the case cannot be solved, the government will be the loser. People will fear the White Lotus Sect more than the imperial court. Giving up halfway will only fuel Niu Buye's arrogance. Although his teaching circle has been severely damaged, it is easy for him to make a comeback.

On the contrary, if the government can bring Niu Buye to justice, there will no longer be any market for the supernatural powers they boasted.

Mr. Cao, the envoy of the procuratorate, was really in a hurry. He visited the chief envoy Yadu and commanded the envoy to seek help from other second yamen. The guard of honor of Mr. Cao came and went in a hurry.

In the afternoon, Master Cao's guard of honor left the Chashiya again and walked south along the street, apparently heading for the Buzhengya.The horse sedan had just left the main street where the inspector's office was located, when several big men suddenly appeared on the roofs on both sides, and they stretched their bows and shot arrows at Mr. Cao's horse sedan. Jump off the roof and attack the carriage.Master Cao's guards immediately protected the carriage tightly and began to fight with them.

"The bandit is assassinating Mr. Cao, let's go!"

For a while, the people in the street ran away in panic, the big girl ia and her daughter-in-law screamed, the half-grown children cried loudly, the sellers set up stalls and piled up their stalls and left, and the buyers ran faster, and some paid and returned the goods. Didn’t take anything, some took things but didn’t pay, happy, yelling, all kinds of movements, some had no time to escape, they got under the stalls, ran into the shops on both sides, and the bustling street was empty for a while Ruye, leaving only a mess behind.

"The idea is tough, the wind is tight"

Seeing that they couldn't get close to the sedan chair, the few big men who were fighting face to face, one of them yelled, turned around and left.

"Let's go, see you at the old place"

The other burly man said a harsh word, then rubbed the soles of his feet with oil, and slipped away.

Both of them have foreign accents, one has an accent from Fujian and Zhejiang, and the other has an accent from Bashu.

"My lord, the assassin has escaped, how is your lord?"

The two guards scrambled to the front of the carriage and shouted, the sedan chair curtain was lifted, and Mr. Cao, who was wearing an official hat crookedly, came out tremblingly, his face was as white as a ghost, and a sharp arrow was stuck on his black gauze hat , also had a sharp arrow on his left arm, and roared furiously: "The idiot is a waste in broad daylight, and the world is bright, and people are killed in front of this official, all of them are waste!"

In the cellar of the Chen's Mountain Fruit Store, Ling Bupo excitedly reported to Niu Buye the assassination of Mr. Cao, the Inspector General, in a vivid and vivid way, even though he didn't see it with his own eyes, everything he knew was hearsay.When he said that Cao Qigen fled back to the inspector's office in despair, several believers burst out laughing.

After hearing this, Niu Buye was not as excited as his subordinates. He said calmly, "Isn't Cao Qigen not dead? Even if he is dead, so what? The court can send another inspector right away. Assassin Cao Qigen, besides making us even more desperate, what is the benefit?"

The laughter stopped, Niu Buye frowned slightly, and said suspiciously: "Not from us? With a foreign accent... Who would come to assassinate Cao Qigen?"

At the beginning, he thought he was a disciple of the sect who had lost contact with him, so he took the risk to assassinate Cao Qigen, but when he heard the accent from a foreign country, he could not help but commit a crime. , the White Lotus Sect in various places has even given other names, and Wuuaba seems to have nothing to do with it on the surface.

Although they still maintain a relatively unified incision and contact method, the disciples in the teaching will take care of each other as much as possible when they are outside, but this is a matter of mutual benefit, and they don't need to travel all over the world. This is exactly what they absorb the disciples It is a powerful means, and there are fellows to help wherever they go. This is a great mutual benefit for those ia people. Naturally, the religious circles in various places will give them as much help as possible, but it is limited to this.

Under the superficial harmony, there are actually many tricks of open and secret fighting in order to fight for territory and believers. The ordinary congregation is completely ignorant of this, but the high-level people know it well.Now that the imperial court is arresting members of the White Lotus Cult all over the world, and everyone is looking out for themselves, who would be willing to take the risk and come to Jinan to show him off?

Niu Buye was thinking about it, when someone said: "Brother, could it be one of our people who intentionally speaks some foreign dialect to confuse the public?"

Niu Buye shook his head and said, "Everyone will accuse us of this, so why pretend to be a stranger?"

One of his subordinates thought for a while and reminded: "Brother, could it be a Vajra Slave?"

Niu Buye said: "Him? It's not easy for him to escape here alone. How many brothers can he bring? Besides, what is his purpose of assassinating Cao Qigen?"

Speaking of this, Niu Buye's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly thought of a possibility.

When Wang Yiyuan saw him, he persuaded him to rebel. Now that Niu Buye has become a criminal wanted by the court, he doesn't mind raising a team to rebel, but his power base is mainly in Jinan City. Proselytizing can allow him to have greater power and wealth, and his life is much better than some leaders who developed in the countryside, but it is much more difficult to rebel.

This is the place under the direct jurisdiction of the government. No matter how big his fish is, it will be difficult to cause any trouble. Moreover, these urban people are not so easy to be confused. They are recruited into religion, and everyone calls them brothers. It is easy to form gangs and let them leave themselves. I am afraid that there are not many people who are willing to go with him if they leave their wives and children to kill their heads with him.

Wang Jingangnu was addicted to rebellion. He didn't want to put all his eggs in one basket. Although Wang Yiyuan's rhetoric was very powerful, he didn't want to take this road unless he had a dead end. Wang Yiyuan is forcing him to make a decision.If this is the case, will Wang Yiyuan, a rebel lunatic, do even crazier things?

The more Niu Buye thought about it, the more nervous he became. He thought for a moment, and then ordered: "Tell Lao Chen, get ready, let's change places tonight."

Several brothers stood up one after another, and someone asked: "Brother, why did you suddenly change places? What's wrong?"

Niu Buye said: "Don't be afraid of [-], just in case, if it really has something to do with Vajra Slave...we can't be implicated by this lunatic."

Someone asked: "Then should we continue to keep in touch with him?"

Niu Buye hesitated for a moment, and said: "Well, leave a eyeliner and keep in touch with him. This person...maybe useful." Rah! ~!
