Chapter 42
Those Tianli believers who slipped through the net, heard the news that the leader was cut, also fled in a hurry, scattered like birds and beasts, hibernated in the mountains and remote areas, concealed their names, and waited for a comeback.

Because the incident of breaking into the palace was too absurd, many people were astonished, but also took it as a laughing stock and talked about it happily.Therefore, although three generations have passed, it is still familiar.

However, after the Tianli religion was suppressed, the surviving believers still secretly spread among the people, secretly using the "secret techniques" passed down from previous generations to do some activities to raise money and replenish funds.

Seeing the "teaching seal" branded on the soles of the gangsters' feet, all the people in the class had guessed their identities pretty well.

Fu Yin hated their heinous deeds long ago, but now that they are the remnants of the law of heaven, Fu Yin is even more unforgiving, gave them a slap in the face, and ordered several people to recruit them truthfully.

However, no matter whether it is a cruel party or harming artificial animals, it is a felony and capital punishment that deserves to be hacked into pieces and three families.For such a serious crime, the scar-faced man and others knew the pros and cons, even though they were tested for the "Tianli Seal" on the soles of their feet, they still endured it by themselves, determined not to commit it.

In troubled times, heavy codes should be used. For these extremely vicious people, violence should be controlled with violence, and the method of thunderbolt should be used to show the heart of the Bodhisattva.Fu Yin was relentless, and ordered the servants in the hall to serve him with severe torture.

The yamen servants got the order, so they picked up a few pairs of clamps, and prepared to use severe torture to pry the tongues of the prisoners.

The sticks are all cut from poplar wood, more than three feet long and five inches from the ground.It is run through with iron wires, with cowhide ropes in the middle, and is worn in three pairs.If you want to use it, put the stick on the ground, put the criminal's foot into it and fix it.After it is stabilized, fasten the rope, tighten the tie, and pull the two strands to cross.At this time, just by hitting hard with a big bar, the criminal's tibia will be fractured and his bones will be broken.Such a cruel punishment, even Da Luo Jinxian couldn't bear it, and he had to confess obediently.

All the yamen servants rolled up their arms and sleeves, and dragged the four criminals onto the sticks.When Lai Qing saw that he was going to be tortured, he was so frightened that he wanted to die.Before the yamen servant could beat him, he kowtowed like chicken smashed rice, begging for mercy repeatedly.

Where is the governor willing to answer?He shouted "Quiet", and ordered the left and right to execute the sentence quickly.

The yamen servants were impatient for a long time, and when they heard the order of the governor, they hurriedly gathered the ropes and ropes, and tied the sticks tightly around the criminals' ankles.

Before they could hit it with a big stick, the tortured criminals wailed and screamed, and all of them fainted from the pain.

"Splash!" Fu Yin was still unrelenting, and ordered someone to pour ice water on him to wake him up.

Several buckets of bone-piercing ice water went down, and the four criminals finally woke up.As soon as he opened his eyes, Lai Qing lay on the ground crying, bleeding from his forehead: "It's done...it's really done...don't pinch...this time it's really done..."

Fu Yin snorted coldly, and the yamen servants on both sides shouted in unison again.Lai Qing trembled for a long time before telling the whole story.

It's true that they are criminals.However, they have only been in the church for a short time, and Zhang Xingwu, the scar-faced man who was the first to join the church, was only three or two years old.Because of the case of "breaking into the palace" in Jiaqingnian, the surviving Tianli believers began to hide in Tibet and go into hiding.At one time, people in the world mistakenly thought that Tianli Sect was extinct.

In this year, the barbarians are frequently bullied and wars continue.The Tianli believers who have continued to the present have shown their heads one after another.Due to the lack of strict doctrines and rules, Tianli Sect has not changed much in essence despite several generations.The original intention of the leader is still to win over the believers in order to collect money.No matter who it is, as long as they can afford the "blessing money", they can join the teaching.Therefore, many rogues and rogue bandits who had nowhere to turn also joined Tianli Sect in order to seek asylum.These desperadoes are no better than those honest peasants. With their participation, although the mess was made, the fighting power of the Tianlijiao has really improved a lot.

As a result, the power of Tianli Sect secretly swelled up.Because of the hardships, the instructors have also learned to be smart, and they will never be right with the officials until they are full-fledged.What's more, every new year's day, the leaders of various places will also send people to the local yamen to manage.The officials not only received the benefits, but also were happy, and they were all willing to have no crimes in the river well.Therefore, even though some state officials and county magistrates knew that there were religious people under their rule, they didn't take it seriously.As long as they don't make trouble, they all turn a blind eye and close one eye, and ignore it.

Although Lijiao was at peace for a while that day, he was still ruthless.After a few days of bossing around, I wanted to taste the taste of being king again.A lesson from the past is a guide for the future.Afraid of failure, the leaders no longer act hastily, but accumulate slowly and secretly manage.

The seven criminals arrested in the court today belonged to some rogues, each of whom was fighting bravely and committing crimes.Those like Zhang Xingwu, Wang Jianglong, etc. are originally strong men who cut the diameter; while Lai Qing, Li Aniu and others are just thieves and thieves.Due to various reasons, these people got together and worshiped as brothers.Because they did a lot of evil in their hometown, they really couldn't get along, so they made an appointment to come to the capital to find a way out.Later, Zhang Xingwu was recommended by someone accidentally, and he first joined the Tianli Sect, and then dragged other people in.

After joining the religion, the referrer took their "blessing money" and stamped the "Tianli Seal" on the soles of their feet, becoming followers of Tianli Sect Xinna.It's just that they have just joined the religion, and they don't have access to such figures as the head teacher and sect master.Moreover, the referrer was also extremely mysterious, covering his head and face from beginning to end, never showing his true face to others.

Zhang Xingwu and the others were used to wandering around, so they naturally refused to accept control.Originally, I joined the Tianli Sect because I wanted to find a refugee, but after waiting and waiting, not only did I not see the rest of the believers, but I also couldn't taste the sweetness of joining the Sect.After a long time, several people couldn't hold back and went to the referrer to argue.

Seeing that they had some "skills", the referrer took them to a dry forest on the outskirts of Beijing.When they first entered the forest, Zhang Xingwu and others were all dazed.When the recommender saw this, he explained to them that this forest is no better than other places, that it was modified by their master Yixue of Tianli Sect according to Qimen Dunjia, and called it "Shadow Forest".In the entire Shadow Forest, there are eight gates: Rest, Life, Injury, Du, Scenery, Death, Shock, and Opening.If you don't know it, you wander into the forest randomly, and you can only see the overlapping shadows of the forest and the blinding trees.Man said that it is a human being, even the birds, sometimes they may get fainted and trapped to death inside, which is extremely dangerous.

After entering the forest, the referrer led the way and taught the seven people how to identify the location and find the way.The seven people were intimidated by this labyrinth-like shadow forest, and they all clicked their tongues secretly.

After staying in Yinglin, the referrer taught them some magic tricks to help them raise money.One of the techniques is the "making animals in wrappers".Lai Qing was originally a human trafficker, so he is very familiar with abducting ignorant children.

After a few children were abducted, the villains frantically built animals according to the evil method.After several tossings, they actually created a few for them.

Seeing that sorcery is useful, Zhang Xingwu and others completely believed in Tianli Sect.Seeing this, the referrer lost no time in revealing to them: He said that when everything was ready, the head teacher would raise troops and lead the people to break the Forbidden City, occupy the Golden Temple, withdraw from the dynasty and change the day.After the head teacher ascends to the Great Treasure, he will be granted the title of marquis and minister, and will be rewarded for meritorious deeds.As long as they contribute a lot to the teaching, they must be given seals and ribbons, and they will flourish.The amount of such contributions depends first on how much this "kindness money" has been given.

Although Zhang Xingwu and the others were reckless, seeing those officials flaunting their power, their hearts were naturally salivating.Seeing such an opportunity, they put all their efforts into using those "pig monkeys" who came from making animals to accumulate money, hoping that one day the land will be broken and the border will be sealed.

After listening to Lai Qing's confession, the Fu Yin became angrily: "You and other heinous people dare to conceive the title of Marquis and worship Prime Minister? Who is the recommender? Why don't you recruit them quickly!"

"The referrer..." Lai Qing said with a bitter face, "We don't know each other..."

"Bold!" Fu Yin scolded angrily, "How dare you cover up your accomplice? Since you have known each other before, why don't you recognize him? It's clearly nonsense, confusing the public! Come on! Call me again!"

"Don't fight, don't fight!" Hearing these words, Lai Qing was so frightened that the shit rolled, "My lord, let me... my lord, let me..."

"speak!"

Lai Qing hurriedly said: "Although our brothers have dealt with the referrer...but we have never seen his true face...that person comes and goes without a trace, always covered with a black cloth...I really don't recognize him what!"

"Oh?" Feng Shen heard this, and hurriedly interjected, "What about his accent? How tall is he?"

"His accent is southern..." Lai Qing thought for a while, and then said, "It looks like the area in the middle of Shu...he is not too tall...a little fat...Oh! That man's hands are full of hard calluses ...the hair is black and purple...even on the back of the hand!"

"Black and purple hard cocoon?" Feng Shen was taken aback for a moment, then glanced at the burly Lu Bantou, "Aren't you lying?"

"Officer," Lai Qing said dejectedly, "Since we have been cut into the hands of the official, we know that we will not survive. We only want to give you a good time...why lie again and invite severe punishment?"

Feng Shen nodded, thinking the same reason.So, he rummaged through the physical evidence he had brought, and found the wooden box that could shoot caltrops.

"Lai Qing," Feng Shen held up the wooden box, "do you know what this is?"

"This... this is a hidden weapon..." Lai Qing glanced at Zhang Xingwu, "It's called 'Poison Tribulus'..."

Feng Shen asked: "Then where did this 'poisonous terrestris' come from?"

"It was recommended to my eldest brother." Lai Qing wiped the sweat from his brow, "It is said to be extremely powerful, let us keep our self-defense..."

"Hmph!" Feng Shen sneered, "It seems that this referrer has a lot of background."

Hearing what Feng Shen said, Fu Yin was slightly taken aback: "Feng Jingji, do you know the origin of this hidden weapon?"

"Exactly," Feng Shen said, "my lord, a hidden weapon like 'poisonous thorns' is rare to see. It is only produced in one place in the whole world."

Fu Yin frowned: "But where?"

Feng Shen stared at the wooden box in his hand, and paused every word: "Chuandong Bishan, Tangjiabao!"
