Just as Xu Shu and Ma Heng were discussing going to Nanzhong for investigation, Fa Zheng brought new news.
Fa Zheng found out that some people from the God religion in the five directions were promoted by the people who promoted the sayings of ghosts and gods in Chengdu.
Strictly speaking, not all Taoist priests in the Five Directions God Cult, but the Qiao clan.
"Qiao family?" Xu Shu was a little surprised.
Fa Zheng nodded.
Although Fa Zheng was not responsible for these counter-espionage matters, he could not ignore some of the things that happened in the local area. So after paying attention, he found out what Xu Shu and Ma Heng were both negligent...
Xu Shu and Ma Heng looked at each other, then fell into thought.
Fazheng discovered a beautiful point.
Xu Shu and Ma Heng may not be unaware of what Fa Zheng said, but the Taoist priests of the God Cult in the Five Directions believe in gods, so isn’t it normal to say something like ghosts and gods in daily life?
If Taoists are not allowed to talk about ghosts and gods, what else can Taoists say? So when Xu Shu and Ma Heng received relevant reports, they naturally excluded these Taoists from the God Cult from the Five Directions.
This surprised Xu Shu a little.
Fa Zheng said in a deep voice: "The Taoist priests from the five directions say that ghosts and gods are seeking good deeds. However, people from Qiao, who are falsely known as ghosts and gods, seeking more money and bewitching the people, are actually evil."
"To sell talismans, you will not hesitate to harm innocent lives..." Fa Zheng said, and then sighed a little, "The name of the lord is to plunder the villagers. Qiao's family uses the Gods religion in the five directions to harm the people, and in order to make huge profits, he will not hesitate to kill innocent people..."
As Fa Zheng narrated, Xu Shu and Ma Heng's faces gradually became solemn...
No one was trying to die in the red line area at the beginning.
At the beginning, the people of the Qiao clan did not think about trying to commit suicide, but after continuous testing, their courage gradually became stronger. Just like local officials in the feudal dynasty, they were surcharged and fined. At the beginning, they just said that those who brought codonopsis would be fined, saying that codonopsis was a drug and was expensive, so how could the untouchables eat it at will? Then, seeing that there was no movement from the upper and lower parts, they couldn't think about the next step to include garlic on the list of confiscations. After all, garlic is also a drug.
The greed and wealth-making process of the Qiao clan people is also full of intimidation, bribery, blood, and cruelty...
But were the people from Qiao clan so bad at the beginning?
Not.
Xu Shu still remembered that in the past few years, the Qiao clan's evaluation was pretty good. He said that the Qiao clan worked hard to farm, and encouraged the people to be kind, and did a lot of things to pave roads and bridges. He was a model of good gentry in the countryside, but after just a few hours, it became like this now?
Of course, Xu Shu believed that Fa Zheng would not tell any lies on this matter, and must have found relevant conclusive evidence. Sure enough, Fa Zheng then took out a letter and recorded the relevant issues of Qiao in detail.
The reason why these problems were caused was nothing more than a hunter.
An ordinary old hunter.
…┐(?～?)┌…
A few days ago.
Inside Qiao Family Manor.
Qiao Minggang looked at the books sent by his subordinates and felt very happy.
The Qiao family has already transformed from the original scriptures heirloom.
Transformed to the family-borne teachings.
The five directions of God's religion is obviously better than the prophecies and divination techniques learned by Qiao before.
The art of prophecies and divination is a secret saying, which determines good and bad luck, and the latitude is the tributary of the meridian, and the meaning of the side.
Speaking of which, the ancestor of the prophecy should be King Wen of Zhou. As a fanatical divination enthusiast, he left the most famous prophecy, which was the result of divination for Tai Si's dream content: "After the great order of Shang to the Emperor and Heavenly God." Even in the Book of Songs, there is a "Voice of King Wen" saying, "When King Wen received the order, he had such martial arts; after attacking Chong, he built a town in Feng."
Prophecies and divination became a knife for King Zhou to stab the ancient wizard, and also provided a basis for legal rationality for his subsequent kingship and spiritual platform to become kings and build spiritual platforms in the future.
But sooner or later, King Wen of Zhou has to pay back the debt. King Xuan of Zhou has paid back the debt.
During the reign of King Xuan of Zhou, a child had a rumor saying that "The Zhou Dynasty was destroyed by placing the arc and the Zhou Dynasty" was the meaning of Bao Si...
The Western Zhou Dynasty seemed so absurd.
But in fact, everyone knows that history is just a little gummy dressed up.
So the prophecy is just like that. It depends on whether you want to wear a small skirt or a thong...
Now that the General of the Cavalry eliminated the prophecies and divination in the classical studies, the Qiao clan naturally did not have a good time, but they found a new path and then discovered that this new path was even better than the previous prophecies and divination studies!
Make more money!
Just like this time, no farmer dared to reject the "Blessing of God in the Five Directions" talisman they provided. There are naturally bargaining, but they are all within the allowable range.
Qiao Ming was very careful and did not force the farmers too hard.
This farmer knows that the leeks need to be cut one by one and pulled them out directly. Isn’t that killing the chicken to get the eggs?
"Blessed by God in the Five Directions" is just a talisman paper for ghost-drawing talismans. The cost is almost negligible. At most, it is just a little paper money and paint money. The seal carved in advance, with red ink on it and sticking the paper on it, will be a talisman that has been painted.
That's right, it's more troublesome to draw, or better print it.
After all, it may be possible to draw one more stroke or one less stroke, and it will be basically the same when printed. The magic power of "Guardian of God in the Five Directions" is naturally the same.
So this business, well, is not a business, it is a blessing, uh, it’s wrong, it’s a talisman, it’s so great!
This year's earnings, tsk...
Sure enough, it will be much easier to use after changing the name.
This is a benefit that I never dared to think about in the past. In the past, those troublemakers thought about stolen debts all day long, and the taxes collected by Zhuanghe were often insufficient. Some even had to arrears of official taxes, and they even said they were pitiful all day long, and they would show compassion and kindness at any time.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content behind! Not to mention the slightest compassion and kindness, most people don’t have it. Even if there is really, how many people can post it here and move there all day?
Now it's better, even the Taoist priest who went down to send the talismans were covered in oily faces.
However, Qiao Ming looked behind him, his face gradually became gloomy.
He put down the booklet in his hand, then frowned and thought about what he was thinking about.
In the hall, one of his close followers saw Qiao Ming's expression and moved quietly to the side. The followers knew that Qiao Ming was a little unhappy, and might be a sign of losing their temper. Naturally, they hurried away to avoid being affected by the fish.
"Call the cripple Zhang!" Qiao Ming ordered.
The lame man Zhang was a little lame. When he was young, he had a lame feeling for no reason. He always had a smile on his face, and he didn't speak anyone he saw, but he just smiled three times first.
The Han Dynasty did not have any system for the protection of disabled people. Although Lao Dai said at a very early stage, "The way of the great way is to be the public, to choose the virtuous and capable, to be faithful and harmonious. Old friends do not only have relatives, not only their sons but also their sons. The elderly have a life of life, strong have something to use, young people have good strengths, noble, widow, lonely, and aborted, all have something to support. Men have a share, women have a return. If goods hate them, they don't have to hide themselves; if they hate them, they don't have to do it for themselves..."
But in fact, let alone widows, widows, widows, orphans, even the simplest evils, are difficult to eradicate for thousands of years.
Therefore, the disabled people in the Han Dynasty must pay more if they want to survive.
The more the price the cripple Zhang paid is conscience.
He flattered Qiao and asked for a job to go to the countryside. He had to master the tricks of the job. The first thing was to do was to "take a ruthless move". The orphan and widowed mother knelt in front of her and begged, and she had to do it. The old, weak, sick and disabled were about to die, and they had to make up for the debt first, saying that one liter of rice would be one liter of rice, and a grain of rice would not do.
Secondly, you have to "be able to bear it". Farmers everywhere in the countryside collect taxes, and it is common to travel back and forth. Sometimes, if you can't catch up, you have to sleep in the wilderness in the open air. At this time, no one cares whether the lame person is given preferential treatment. If you can't catch up, no one will wait. You can only grit your teeth and hold your teeth hard.
Then, because he is a cripple, he has to do more than normal people. Otherwise, what does a noble man do to do a cripple? The dirty work is naturally his. Don’t care about the rules or irregularities. Anyway, only by doing what the noble man has assigned can he show his ability. So no matter what the work is, the cripple man Zhang rushes to do it, and he has to do it better and more in line with the noble man’s wishes...
Perhaps because of his disability, the lame Zhang had a particularly strong desire to climb up. Of course, due to physical reasons, he could not get any better position, and the so-called upward space almost does not exist. After all, in the traditional customs of the Han Dynasty, appearance was also an important measure for judging whether an official was responsible. Pang Tong had suffered losses in this regard, so the lame Zhang's small goal was to first treat the dog's legs well, be the first among them, and then seek the position of the manor manager, which was basically over.
Qiao Ming also thought that Crip Zhang was easier to use, so he called Crip Zhang.
Seeing Qiao Ming's expression unwillingness, the cripple man Zhang immediately said, "Master, do you have any instructions?"
Qiao Ming nodded, and then said, "Hungang Zhang Hunter still doesn't invite "God's protection"!"
Upon hearing this, the cripple Zhang already knew what was going on.
Recently, there are rumors on the market, such as gods and ghosts. In fact, most of them are released by the Qiao clan. Of course, some of them are brainless idle people following the limelight. Those brainless idle people are mostly for verbal pleasure, while the Qiao clan is for real gold, silver and copper.
Most farmers are illiterate, and the farthest way they are to go to the market after their birth, so they have no idea what the outside world is. As long as there are more people saying the same thing as farmers, these farmers will believe it, regardless of how outrageous it is.
But some people are different, such as Zhang Huheng from Hougang.
This Zhang Lazi family may have been running in the mountains, or were used to going to the county town to exchange prey for money and goods, so they did not believe the rumors spread by the Qiao clan, nor did they think there were any ghosts in the mountains. Even if there were any ghosts, Zhang Liehuo did not think that the ghost painting talisman "Guardian of God" sold by Qiao clan could resist it.
Therefore, Zhang Liehuo did not buy it. Well, according to the Qiao clan, it was "please" and there was no talisman to "protect God".
"This hunter Zhang is ignorant..." Qiao Ming sighed and said, "I asked someone to lower the price, but he still refused... This is really ignorant! Think about it, all the people in all villages are protected by God, but he doesn't have it here. Isn't this a loophole? If the ghosts in the mountains find flaws, wouldn't it harm the villagers?"
As for the protection and loopholes, it is basically nonsense. If there are ghosts, Qiao will run faster than anyone else.
The reason why Qiao Ming was dissatisfied is that if Zhang Hunter was allowed to not buy it, then if Zhang Hunter was safe and sound, it would be possible to drive more people not to buy the new "God's Protected" spell. How can this business be done in the future?
How can we continue to do it?
How to carry forward and last forever?
"God of the Five Directions, this is what the General of the Cavalry believes!" Qiao Mingyu said earnestly, "What do you want to do in this hunter? Don't invite the talismans that the General of the Cavalry believes in? What does this mean? This matter is very bad...
The cripple Zhang lowered his head and said, "Master, this matter... will be left to the subordinate!"
Qiao Ming glanced at the cripple and said, "Do you understand? What should I do?"
『Understand!』 The cripple smiled, 『Master, please don't worry...』
If you cut leeks, you can’t have any tough problems.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading!…(?▽?)/…
The Qiao clan was not so arrogant at the beginning.
Now, it is normal for the Qiao clan members to feel arrogant.
Because the General of the Cavalry "believes" in the Five God Cult, Qiao also "believes" in the Five God Cult, just like A=B, C=B, Qiao felt that he had the authority of the General of the Cavalry, at least it represented that the General of the Cavalry in the countryside to govern the shepherd the people. It was like shouting at every turn that I represent someone, but not only the beautiful girl, but not only the moon.
Zhang Liehuo still didn't realize that there was something wrong.
The reason why he did not buy any "God's protection" was very simple. He did not believe in any gods and ghosts. Whether it was the Gods of the Five Directions or other ghosts and gods, he did not believe in them. He only believed in his own hands.
Over the years, no ghost has helped him in his difficulties. When he was sick, no ghost has sent him stuttering food. He dragged his sick body up the mountain to hunt and finally survived.
Zhang Liehuo did not marry, let alone had children.
He knows the hardships of hunting and the tiring life, so why bother to find a wife to allow his children to continue this hardship and fatigue?
It was not that he had thought of going down the mountain to change his career, but he had been hunting for more than ten or twenty years, so he could only hunt.
Going down the mountain, learning from farmers to farm, or going to study again?
Zhang Liehuo also tried to join the army. But he was defeated and younger people rushed to go, but he could not compete.
Not all hunters are sharpshooters.
He himself is already in his early thirties, and his life has passed most of his life. When he cannot hunt, he will die on the mountain. Or he doesn’t even have to wait for old age. If he encounters tigers, leopards, jackals, etc. that day, he will close his eyes and kick his legs. He will die wherever he dies.
So Zhang Huowen was very open-minded.
If you can see it openly, you will become more and more unbeliever.
Zhang Liehuo killed a hare two days ago. He ate the meat and peeled the skin off. He also went to the Nanshi for money with the fur he had accumulated some time ago.
There are two restaurants in Nanshi, one is expensive and the other is even more expensive. Just like the two trees in front of Mr. Lu's door. Zhang Liehu naturally can't afford a big restaurant, but it's still OK to find a small restaurant to eat something good to reward yourself.
Nowadays, there are more venues in Chengdu with large stage modes, and restaurants are just aside, with only a few seats and benches. There are also more hot pick-up stalls. Eat a bowl of hot soup cakes and then shake your head and listen for a long time. This is also a small joy in life.
Zhang Liehuo ate a bowl of hot soup cakes, then went into the stage and found a seat to sit down.
Someone was singing a song on the stage, singing while beating the drums.
Zhang Liewo recognized that this was a new track called rap.
There were also such rappers before, who sang in addition to admonishing people to be good and religious stories, as well as various folk songs.
True and vulgar song.
The rappers talked and performed, and the people in the audience burst into laughter and noise from time to time, which was very lively.
Although the song does not blatantly describe the next three ways, it also vividly describes the matter. Not only is it full of voice and emotion, but the story is also full of branches and leaves. Some people quietly climb the wall and touch the boudoir in the middle of the night, hiding under the bed and waiting for anxiety. As for the various contents that are popular later, there are many varieties, which makes a group of listeners drool in their mouths.
Zhang Huowen laughed too.
Are you a little commoner?
The rap’s dongdong beat the drums, sang a song, then went down, and changed to a few juggling players to play. The big jar was slapped on the plate, and the cartilage kung fu swallowed swords, which attracted the audience’s praise again...
Zhang Liehuo was also devoted to seeing it, but he did not notice that someone was looking at him with bad eyes.
Zhang Crooker and a few people were staring at Zhang Huowen's back.
"Head, do you want to do something here?" asked a man next to Zhang Crook.
"Are you stupid?" Zhang Crooked in a low voice, "If you take action in the downtown area, if you are caught by the inspector, even if you don't deserve your life, you will have to work in the labor camp for the rest of your life!"
"Will you just not be caught?" the man said, "I hid a knife in my sleeve, walked over, stabbed it to death with one knife, and then drilled into the alley while it was in chaos. I don't believe who could find me?"
The cripple Zhang pondered for a moment, shook his head, and said, "What if I didn't stab myself to death in one go? Forget it, let's go first, just wait at his house..."
