Chapter 1040 Bailian, Found, Hunted Down
Early in the morning, Liao Dongchang received the news that Xing Hebo was not feeling well and would not see anyone today.
"Lazy? That's right. It's not easy to come all the way from Beiping! Then let them know and let them come back tomorrow."
Liao Dongchang squeezed the concubine's body, then got up lazily.
"Order people to watch it, and inform Chen Yuan separately, saying that this Xinghe Bolai is not good! He said he was examining Zuo Wei, but why does this officer look like he is here to investigate the case? I don't know who it is If you get into trouble, let the guards below keep an eye on it, and if something is wrong, report it in time."
...
Accompanied by Tang Sai'er and his wife, Fang Xing quietly left the city early in the morning, and then headed all the way to the countryside.
Without the servants by his side, Fang Xing was a little uncomfortable, and laughed at himself that he already had more of the master's faults.
The servants have to watch in the city, otherwise Liao Dongchang will find out that there are few people.
Along the way, the fields were dry and hard, although there were no cracks, but Fang Xing looked up at the sky, feeling that the seedlings in the field were doomed.
There is a mountain not far away, and there is a village under the mountain.
Tang Sai'er said excitedly: "Uncle, I have relatives over there!"
Fang Xing nodded, and when he got down the mountain, half an hour had passed.
The small village is built along the mountain, and there are mostly earthen houses, most of which are dilapidated.
At the entrance of the village, there were more than a dozen ragged children playing. They said they were playing, but they were just sitting on the ground and drawing.
Fang Xing took a closer look and couldn't help but gasp.
These children are all skinny, and some have very large heads and dull eyes.
Seeing that Tang Sai'er brought strangers, these children didn't move. Fang Xing knew the reason: the adults told them not to move, otherwise they would starve quickly.
Tang Sai'er recognized one of the boys, asked relatives, and said that he went up the mountain to find food and was not at home.
Entering the village, Fang Xing was confused when he didn't see any adults, when he heard a voice similar to singing.
"Uncle, it's..."
Tang Sai'er stopped in a bit of embarrassment,
He wanted to take Fang Xing back with him.
But Fang Xing had already seen that a group of men, women and children, led by a man in Tsing Yi, was kneeling in front of a Buddha statue, singing along.
Fang Xing took a few steps back, turned around and left.
"What is this teaching?
Seeing Fang Xing's serious face, Tang Sai'er whispered, "Bai Lian."
Fang Xing's body shook, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Fortunately, it was discovered early, otherwise no one in this village would be spared, and they would all be exiled!"
Lin Sanben had a fierce look in his eyes, and when he heard this, he calmed down and said, "Uncle, can you get off the hook?"
Since the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, there has been the power of religion, so after Zhu Yuanzhang came to power, the White Lotus Sect became a taboo. Suppression, rebellion, and further suppression... has continued until now.
Fang Xing was already regretting not bringing his servants out, even if it was exposed, it was better than being in danger now.
Looking at Lin San's appearance, it is clear that he has the idea of silence. As for what to do if you kill an uncle, at worst, run away!
But Tang Sai'er, who was originally relatively sturdy, was a little weak.
"Don't listen to those people, turn around and throw away all the messy things in the village, and tell them not to go crazy, otherwise the world is so big, they can only be exiled to places like Cochin and Burma. "
Seeing the panic on Tang Sai'er's face, Fang Xing finally realized that this woman has not lost her husband or father, so naturally she is not desperate enough to rebel.
"Those religions are all deceiving people. The people above take advantage of the ignorance of the common people to spread the word. In the end, the unlucky ones are the common people. I know that the common people are poor if they believe in this, and they are afraid of starvation. But don't worry, there is no shortage of food in the court. , there are two granaries in the city of Qingzhou, and people who come to court will release the grain!"
Only then did Lin San breathe a sigh of relief, and the three of them also walked out of the village.
If the common people have enough food and clothing, as long as the government guides them effectively, and the science can be passed down, no teaching will be of any use!
"There are officers and soldiers!"
Tang Sai'er suddenly let out a low cry, Fang Xing looked up, and happened to meet the group of sergeants.
"Two small banners, shit!"
A strong sense of crisis immediately made Fang Xing react. He whispered: "Run to the right immediately. Be quick. If there is chaos in the city, you will go to my servant and go!"
Tang Sai'er asked, "Uncle, what about you?"
Fang Xing saw the joyful expressions on the faces of the two little flag officers, and said anxiously: "I am Xing Hebo, and I have killed more people than you have ever seen. Hurry up and don't drag me down!"
Tang Sai'er was still hesitating, but Lin San dragged her to the right without hesitation, and was very strategic. He didn't enter the village, which dissipated a lot of the murderous intent in Fang Xing's heart.
The two little flag officers were slowly approaching with people, and when they saw Lin San and his wife running to the right, they hesitated for a moment.
And Fang Xing took advantage of this moment and shouted: "I am Xing and Bo Fangxing, do you f**king want to die?"
No one would take the risk of killing an earl of the Ming Dynasty, and he was also the teacher of the grandson, unless he was determined to feel that he had committed the crime of killing all his family members.
But as soon as he finished speaking, Fang Xing saw the menacing look in those people's eyes, his heart felt cold, he turned around and ran to the left without hesitation.
"Catch up! If he doesn't die, we must die!"
run! Keep running!
Fang Xing was glad that he slept better last night, otherwise he would have been caught up and hacked to death within a short distance.
...
In a military camp more than three miles away, Xie Yifan sat on the main seat with a pale face, his hands on the table were trembling slightly.
And sitting next to him was a deputy Qianhu. This man had a fair face, a pointed chin, deep smile muscles under his cheekbones, and a sincere expression.
"My lord, the people of Qingzhou have been tough since ancient times. Xing Hebo went out of the city alone, and no one knew where he went. The guards of the city knew this, and so did the guards of Jubao Mountain. Maybe...he entered the mountain and was eaten by wild beasts. gone."
Xie Yifan looked at this person with dull eyes: "Lin Chun, I was dragged into the water by you last year, and since then I have embarked on this road of no return. I ask you, who is behind you?"
"Ha ha ha ha!"
The man smiled and said, "What are you thinking, my lord? There is no one behind the lower officials. The smuggling of Yingzhou and Korean women from the seaside is not done by ourselves?"
"Lin Chun!"
Xie Yifan's eyes became more active, and he suppressed his anger and said, "Where did we get the boat?"
Lin Chun bowed sincerely and said, "My lord, don't we have two ships?"
"That's transportation... That's all. It was your suggestion to withhold grain earlier, and the buyer you were looking for to sell grain. Lin Chun, who are you?"
Lin Chun sighed: "My lord, Fang Xing has probably gone by now. Why don't we light a few sticks of incense and wish him a blissful rebirth, which can be regarded as a meritorious deed."
Xie Yifan's body softened, and he looked lifeless, like a dog whose spine had been taken away.
"The imperial court will not give up! Your Highness will not give up, Your Majesty will not give up! Who can we bear? Ah! What the hell are you saying, who can we bear?"
Xie Yifan erupted suddenly, revealing his murderous aura.
"My lord is worrying too much."
Lin Chun sighed and said: "I heard that Xing Hebo has a deep prejudice against Confucianism. He took the opportunity of going to Qingzhou and planned to go to Qufu. Who knows halfway... Hey! If the country loses this pillar, I think all the scholars in the world will be sorry for it." regret."
"You! You really are shameless!"
The veins on Xie Yifan's neck bulged, and he pointed at Lin Chun to scold him, but it turned into a question in the end.
"Is this matter stable?"
Lin Chun still smiled and said: "Don't worry, my lord, the Confucius family is not a wooden statue in a temple, they will make a sound anyway! When the time comes, the world's literati... Ha ha!"
