"Stone man...Stone man..."

Zhang San ignored it and dug down hard.

He remembered clearly that three days ago, he personally buried the stone man at this location.

I marked it at the beginning, so I can’t remember it wrong!

However, my fingers are all worn out, where is the stone man?

"Stop, I tell you to stop!"

The supervisor thought that Zhang San was crazy, so he cautiously took two steps forward, but did not dare to get too close.

Zhang San's eyes were red and he murmured: "The stone man... The stone man's one eye can stir up rebellion in the Yellow River world!"

This time, the supervisor in front of him turned green.

"Rebellion, rebellion... Come on, catch the rebels!"

Among the crowd, Zhang San's accomplices saw that the situation was not good, so they swarmed up and rushed towards the officials who were arriving.

"The imperial court is tyrannical and officials are unkind. Let's all come together and fight them!"

"The stone man's one eye could stir up rebellion in the Yellow River. The stone man has been born. What are we waiting for?"

"Princes, generals and prime ministers would rather have the seed!"

In an instant, dozens of people from all directions rushed out of the crowd, shouting various slogans loudly, and the scene was about to get out of control.

These people have been lurking for at least more than a month, busy spreading rumors every day, but with no results. Today's Stone Man is undoubtedly their last chance.

A commotion immediately broke out among the crowd, and the officials and supervisors at the scene suddenly felt like they were facing a formidable enemy because they were surrounded by the crowd. In this situation, they could not escape at all.

However, the situation did not continue to deteriorate, and the people mostly looked at the excitement.

During the melee, Zhang San pounced on a melon-eating crowd, grabbed his arm, and shouted: "I've been waiting for a long time, what are you waiting for? Let's come together!"

However, the person he grabbed pulled back his arm forcefully, with a look of disgust on his face.

Zhang San shouted: "If you don't take action yet, when will you wait?"

"I'm sick!"

The man took two steps back, keeping a distance from Zhang San, and continued to watch the fun.

At this time, there was a loud noise outside, and everyone followed the sound, only to see a man dressed as a scholar riding a horse, followed by a group of officers and soldiers, rushing towards the river embankment.

This person was Beilin. Zhu Qizhen left him in Huai'an Mansion to check the accounts. However, he seemed to be more interested in counterinsurgency. When he heard there was movement here, he rushed over as soon as possible.

Zhang San looked at the indifferent people in front of him and felt completely cold.

"You...are rebelling, what are you looking at!"

He yelled hysterically, but the next second...

"Bah!"

A mouthful of thick phlegm hit my face, it was hot and sticky...

"You guys have food to eat and money to take every day, but you still rebel. Is there something wrong with you?"

"That's right, I have never heard of such a good job in my entire life!"

"Whoever wants to rebel is really out of his mind."

Hearing the words of the people around him, Zhang San almost spat out his blood and shouted: "Can I buy you off with just a little wages? You stupid people, stupid people... hahaha..."

The people around him saw him crying and laughing, and involuntarily took a few steps back, fearing that his madness would be contagious.

Beilin rushed to the scene and immediately ordered people to control all the troublemakers. However, there were still some stubborn ones who were still struggling.

"Don't think that if you catch us, everything will be over. The stone man has only one eye. Now that the stone man has come out, the world has..."

"You are blind!"

Before this person could finish speaking, Beilin shouted over his head.

"Where is the stone man? Open your eyes wide and take a look. Where is the stone man?"

"Stone man, stone man..."

The man looked around and didn't see the stone man, so he turned his attention to Zhang San, with confusion written all over his face.

He was leaning far away just now, and when he heard the noise coming from Zhang San's side, he thought the stone man was born, but where is it...

Beilin raised her hand and ordered: "Come here, tie up these thieves who are making trouble!"

Immediately afterwards, all the officers and soldiers swarmed forward and tied up all the troublemakers.

"Ahem, everyone, listen up!"

Beilin cleared her throat and raised her voice: "These people are all rebels of the White Lotus Sect! Three months ago, the assassins of the White Lotus Sect went to the capital to murder the emperor, but failed. They were determined to be evil and saw that the imperial court was spending a lot of manpower

They didn't have the resources to build the river embankment, so they came to deliberately destroy it because they didn't want to see the court successfully build the embankment. After the embankment was repaired and everyone lived a good life, who were they looking for to rebel?"

After hearing this, everyone started talking. They thought it was a group of lunatics who were too full to do anything, but they didn't expect that they were so deliberate.

Most of the people who came to build river embankments were from the local area.

The Yellow River burst its banks and their farmland was flooded, causing heavy losses. If the imperial court had not recruited workers on a large scale, many people would have starved to death.

When they learned that these people had decided to hit the river embankment, they immediately became angry and started yelling.

Some people even couldn't restrain themselves and rushed forward, punching and kicking Zhang San and others.

"My mother-in-law and baby were drowned. Now the court is providing money to build the river embankment. You people who have killed thousands of people are still going to cause trouble, right? I let you do it, let you do it!"

"Calm down, calm down, brother, please calm down!"

Bei Lin hurriedly pulled the person away. His mission was to prevent the people from being incited. Looking at the angry expressions of the people, he thought to himself, don't cause any more trouble because of what he said...

"I understand everyone's feelings. They must be eager to kill these rebels with their own hands. However, the imperial court has its own laws. They are guilty of treason and will never be lenient. Now I want to say another thing!

”

Everyone calmed down and looked at Beilin, waiting for him to continue.

"These rebels from the White Lotus Sect have been lurking for a long time in order to stir up trouble. According to reliable information, there are far more than these people. The rest are hidden around everyone. Just imagine, do people often spread various rumors on weekdays?"

After Beilin finished speaking, everyone started talking.

"When you said that, I really remembered that there was a man named Wang who came over every now and then, saying that officials were depriving people of food and oppressing the people. Could it be that he is also a traitor to the White Lotus Sect?"

"Yes, we have a very suspicious person here. Everyone talks about Cuju, and he says some incomprehensible things every day. At the time, everyone thought it was strange, but now that we think about it, this person must be a rebel."

"I've seen it too..."

Seeing everyone talking to each other and having such an exciting discussion, Beilin smiled with satisfaction.

"This officer announces that anyone who captures the White Lotus Sect rebels will be rewarded with five taels of silver. If he can provide reliable clues and assist the officer in the successful arrest, he will be rewarded with two taels of silver!"

Buzz!

As soon as this statement came out, the crowd immediately exploded.

It costs five taels to catch a rebel, and it costs another two taels to provide clues. That’s a lot of money!

Ordinary people may not earn even two taels of silver throughout the year. You can imagine how crazy this silver reward is to everyone.

Immediately afterwards, a vigorous operation to catch the rebels began.

Everyone's eyes glowed green, as if everyone looked like a traitor to the White Lotus Sect...

Bei Lin returned to the camp and took Zhang San and others to a temporary interrogation room.

"Tell me, who sent you here?"

Zhang San sneered and said: "If you want to get words out of us, just dream!"

Bei Lin was not annoyed and ordered to bring another person in.

"Now let's play a game. The rules are very simple. Choose one of the two."

Zhang San asked doubtfully: "What two choices?"

Beilin raised the corner of her mouth slightly and said: "That is to say, only one of you two can survive. Listen clearly, there is only one!"

Zhang San's expression changed and he said: "Those who do great things will inevitably shed blood and sacrifice. We are fortunate enough to follow the Holy Master and we will have no regrets in this life!"

"Don't shout in a hurry, it's like this..."

While talking, Beilin took out a copper coin from her body and asked: "Head or tail?"

"Wha...what?"

Zhang San didn't respond, so Beilin had to repeat: "Let me ask you, is it right or wrong?"

"That's right... that's right... or..."

Before he finished speaking, Beilin tossed the copper coin, pressed it on the table, and slowly removed her hand.
To be continued...
