Houmen's step-wife

Chapter 617: Scourge (1)
While the master and the disciples were talking, a disciple of the White Lotus Sect came in and reported: "Mother of the Buddha, the leader, the people from the imperial court have come, and now they have been controlled by the subordinates and others."

Lu Yuee and Lin Yuniang looked at each other, slightly surprised at their speed.

"How many of them came?" Lu Yuee asked.

"Mother Buddha, there are five people in total. Besides one official, there are also two eunuchs and two guards." The White Lotus disciple said again.

"He dared to break into the cottage by himself, he really has the guts!" Lu Yuee said with a chuckle.

After finishing speaking, she ordered: "Invite all the leaders to the meeting hall, let the sons line up, and welcome the angels well."

Now that the person has come, let's go back in despair after being frightened!
Wanting to recruit her is simply wishful thinking.

At this time, somewhere on the outer layer of the cottage, five people were surrounded by a group of rebels. The one in the middle was white and fat, and looked very round, with a pair of small eyes that would narrow into a slit when he smiled. He was only in his thirties, and he was wearing a blue official gown. Looking at the patch on his chest, he was a fifth-rank official. He was the minister who was sent to recruit security this time—Qian Guyi, a doctor of the Ministry of War.

In fact, he was just a sixth-rank chief before, and he was promoted exceptionally before he was sent to recruit for security. Seeing that his official rank is so low, we can know His Majesty's attitude towards the White Lotus Sect. Otherwise, he would have sent first and second-rank ministers to recruit security up.

Therefore, before Qian Guyi came, many people thought that he was sent by the emperor to send him to death. If the White Lotus Sect disagreed with the recruitment, they might really kill the ministers. This is a relatively dangerous job.

However, Qian Guyi was not unhappy at all, he was even very interested because it was just what His Majesty said to him before he came.

He knew that if he did this well, he would truly be in His Majesty's eyes, and his prosperity would be just around the corner.

Qian Guyi was not idle when he was surrounded, he didn't even feel any fear at all, he actually chatted with the rebels around him in a pleasant manner, regardless of the weapons in their hands.

The people surrounding them were obviously elite soldiers of the rebel army, with excellent weapons, and the armor on their bodies gleamed in the sun. It was obviously the style of the local guards of the imperial court, and they were snatched by them.

However, according to Qian Guyi's small eyes, only a small part of these rebels have armor to wear, and they can't exceed 01 if they are fully armed. The vast majority of the rebels are wearing ordinary clothes. Most of the weapons they use are machetes, spears, and even various agricultural tools such as beryllium copper and rotten iron. The difference with the imperial army is definitely not 30:[-].

Qian Guyi was very eloquent. At the beginning, when he chatted with people, the rebels ignored him, and he didn't care. He kept talking, for example, asking how old they were, where they were from, why they joined the rebel army, Who else is in the family?How are you treated here?
Even if others didn't answer, he would chatter endlessly, but it didn't make people feel annoying. Every time he scratched people's itch, people couldn't help talking.

In the end, someone finally couldn't bear to answer the conversation with him, and after that, it was amazing, the eighteen generations of ancestors were almost not asked.

As we talked, we talked about the disaster and the emperor.

Qian Guyi heard that many of them were forced by life and had no choice but to join the rebel army, and there was a look of pity on his face, and he said: "They are all poor people. But you are pitiful, and our sage is even more pitiful."

Qian Guyi's words caused a backlash from many people who had been brainwashed by Lu Yue'e, and asked in a bad tone: "We are so pitiful. The emperor eats delicacies from mountains and seas, and lives in a magnificent palace. What is so pitiful? How did he think about us?" Common people? If he really loves the people like a son, how can we still not have enough to eat and not to wear warm clothes?"

Qian Guyi shook his head and sighed: "You have wrongly blamed Your Majesty. Your Majesty has always been concerned about the situation of the people, so you can't sleep or eat at night because of this, just to let the people have enough food and clothing. The cost of..."

"Hmph, it's just a hypocrisy, who can be deceived?" One of the rebels said in a very dissatisfied tone. The Buddha's mother told them about the tricks of the court, so they would not be deceived!

Qian Guyi didn't get angry when he heard the words, instead he sighed softly and said, "If Your Majesty doesn't consider the common people, why bother to spend so much manpower and financial resources on water conservancy construction? Why send people to the west to collect good seeds? Why bother to spend A lot of money to buy food from Fanbangguo? Why open warehouses to help the people and reduce taxes?"

A series of rhetorical questions made everyone speechless and looked at each other in blank dismay.

But the brainwashing of the White Lotus Sect was not easily broken.

Someone sneered and said: "You are just talking nicely. If the emperor has done so much, why are we still starving? I only know that it is the Buddha's mother who gave us food and made us full."

Qian Guyi narrowed his small eyes, but didn't speak. Instead, he waved to a guy not far away who was eating roasted sweet potatoes, and shouted, "Come here, can I call you?"

After the sallow and thin guy who ate sweet potatoes came over, Qian Guyi asked with a smile, "Is this sweet potato delicious?"

That guy seemed to be a new member of the rebel army, with the natural awe of the people towards the officials on his face, he nodded cautiously and said, "It's delicious!"

"As long as it's delicious." Qian Guyi said with a smile, "Then do you know how these sweet potatoes come from?"

"Of course I know!" Another man in armor rolled his eyes and said, "Of course it was given by the Buddha Mother. Could it be that the emperor gave it to you? How ridiculous!"

Qian Guyi was not angry when he heard this, but the people who followed him were very angry. If Qian Guyi hadn't reached out to stop them, they probably couldn't help but go up to fight them desperately.

The smile on Qian Guyi's face remained unchanged, and he still said gently: "Then do you know where the sweet potatoes that the Buddha Mother gave you came from? Could it be that her old man conjured them out of thin air?"

These soldiers who have just become the rebel army can't help but feel a little speechless, but unfortunately, many of them really think so.

"The Buddha's mother has great supernatural powers and boundless magic power, so it was naturally created by the Buddha's mother." The person who refuted Qian Guyi just now said again.
