981. Return to the Qing Dynasty (86) Ten Thousand Character Update
Return to the Qing Dynasty(86)
The Emperor went on a tour to the south, and not only brought out the Queen Mother and the Queen, but also all the princes. Those left behind in the capital were the Thirteenth Master, Prince Li, Prince Zhi, and the Fourteenth Master.
With these four people here, for the fourth master, it means that he can wander outside with peace of mind, and there is no need to worry at home.
Those who stay at home may feel that this is a heavy responsibility, but those who follow us out, who can really travel around?
The ninth master was transferred to support the seventh master, and the tenth master and the eighth master handled the daily affairs of the trip. As for safety issues, everything that could be seen was left in Hongwang's hands.
The eighth master hesitated to speak to Hongwang several times, and Hongwang just pretended not to see him. Now in this situation, the closer he is to a father and son, the more taboo he has to avoid.
The fleet did not move very fast. They would often stop along the coast to summon officials and accept the people's kneeling worship. Anyway, they walked like a Bodhisattva. They asked people to burn incense sticks and that was it.
Sometimes there are three stops a day.
Fourth Master always told Hongwang not to be nervous, but how could Hongwang not be nervous? He knew that something was going to happen, but he didn't know what would happen, so he became even more anxious.
Hong Zhou had some errands, but when Hong Wang kept staring at him like this, the hairs on his back stood up.
Why are you staring at me! What can I do? I'm not that stupid or that courageous.
Why don't you just keep an eye on the person you should keep an eye on?
As soon as their eyes met, they exploded in the air.
Hongwangxin said, how do you know I'm not staring? But I shouldn't be staring. I don't know what I'm busy with all day long. When the boat stops, there are always three or five eunuchs getting up and down.
You're so sneaky that you don't know what you're doing. These are all your orders. The one you should keep an eye on is that you're in the cabin twelve hours a day, ten hours a day.
In the remaining two hours, I was either playing cards with the Queen Mother, playing chess with my third brother, or sitting on the deck fishing alone, very leisurely.
Thinking of this, he looked away from Hong Zhou and aimed his gaze at the stern of the boat. Hong Li was holding a book in one hand and tea in the other. The fishing rod was hanging on the side, as if waiting for the stupid fish to take the bait.
have to.
Perhaps because the line of sight here was more direct, Hongli raised his head and glanced sideways, and smiled slightly. He raised his cup and gestured to Hongwang, as if to invite: Do you want to come over for a cup of tea?
The autumn sunshine hit his face, making him look like a handsome young man from a troubled world.
Hongwang looked away, only to feel that this guy was really dark-hearted and thick-skinned. Everyone knew that there was something wrong with him, but he just sat still. Sometimes he wanted to rush in and tell the emperor, no matter what, let's get rid of this first.
The loyal, unfilial and unhuman beasts were caught and talked about, but the words came to his lips several times, but they could not be said out. He had been with Long Live Master for a long time, and he also knew what this fourth uncle was like. He seemed cold-hearted.
The person in front of me is actually a fire inside. He is also the person who values the most affection.
If you were betrayed by your own son, you might feel uncomfortable. Now in this situation, what should I say? It can be said that I will not die until I reach the Yellow River.
While Lin Yutong was building blocks for several small children, he said to Fourth Master: "Hongwang is still young and a little out of control."
The fourth master glanced outside and then looked away. Now that he was competing with Lao Ba, he was actually quite upset himself. He couldn't help but think about how Lao Ba was secretly seeing the joke.
He whispered to Lin Yutong in a low voice. Lin Yutong laughed at him: "What's the matter? There are sons who are thieves, and there are daughters who are prostitutes. Who can say for sure what will happen in the future? One family may not be the same."
This is also true.
Seeing that he was silent, Lin Yutong changed the subject and asked, "Is there any news in the capital?"
The Fourth Master showed a somewhat sarcastic smile, and he had to say that he was not very smart as a thief.
Yu Jia had just left the capital, but the Toyotomi Tavern was closed, and a sign not accepting guests was posted on the door. However, Yun Gu, who had a very close connection with Twelve, really disappeared.
Lao Qi blamed himself for this incident and felt that it was a dereliction of duty to throw someone away like this.
But Ji Jiyungu didn't have this ability, so how could she dare to go to Beijing directly? She jumped up and down for such a long time, and the people working underneath were so confused that they couldn't catch this woman's tail.
But there is no rush. Hongli has already handed over his painting of Yangzhou under the mist and rain, and I hope he will show up in Yangzhou.
Yangzhou is the intersection of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal and the Yangtze River. From the capital, you can get on the boat and go south on the waterway to reach the prosperous city of Yangzhou.
Historically, due to its unique geographical location and superior natural environment, Yangzhou has experienced almost historical prosperity from the Han Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty, accompanied by the prosperity of culture.
When approaching Yangzhou, Fourth Master explained to Lin Yutong: "... Yangzhou had three economic heydays. The first time was in the middle of the Western Han Dynasty; the second time was from the Sui and Tang Dynasties to the Zhao and Song Dynasties; and the third time was during the Sui and Tang Dynasties to the Zhao and Song Dynasties.
During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, in general, the prosperity of Yangzhou city always coincided with the prosperity of the entire country. During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, from the Ming Dynasty to the present, Yangzhou had a high concentration of wealth and capital. It can be regarded as the area with the most concentrated capital in the entire China and even East Asia.
In the words of later generations, it is now the largest financial center there. In terms of its prosperity and role, it is similar to London and Hong Kong in later generations..."
Just listening to it makes people feel excited.
Lin Yutong approached Yangzhou with this mood all the way. When he arrived at the place, he abandoned the ship and landed ashore. Lin Yutong was somewhat disappointed. The emperor was traveling in his car, and the entire river was under martial law. No other ships could be seen at all. The shipping dock felt like
It's a complete shutdown.
This is definitely not the Fourth Master’s original intention, but it is certainly an unavoidable phenomenon.
Three warnings and four instructions said that you must not disturb the people, but in fact, no one dared to joke about it. This is not a problem of insufficient flattery, but that no one dares to take this risk with their wealth, life, and family.
Therefore, the Fourth Master looked calm and did not show anything. Speaking of consideration, the Fourth Master was considered a very considerate person towards his subjects.
She couldn't help but think of that weird TV series. She remembered that there was a paragraph where the singer Xia Yingying met Emperor Qianlong by chance because she went to the lake to sing songs late at night. Well, now that Lin Yutong was thinking about it, she felt that if someone hadn't deliberately put it in
, I really can’t imagine how they managed to travel calmly under heavy guards.
How should I put it? Maybe I was a little scared after being tormented by the White Lotus Sect during this period. No matter what I thought, it always had a hint of conspiracy.
The fourth master’s original plan was to go ashore without abandoning the ship. There was everything on the ship, and he could just keep all his work and rest on the ship. He would not go ashore and cause trouble to others. Before, there was no place like a palace for pick-up.
.
But now that the river is sealed, there is no other boat to even think about.
Then this is absolutely not possible on a ship. As a major artery for north-south transportation, a delay of one day will delay many things. For merchants, this loss is not small, and for the lower-level people who rely on this river for their meals,
This is simply a disaster. For example, the tracker, for example, does a day's work and earns one day's money. If there is no work, it means no money. Without money, the whole family will probably go hungry. More
There are those small merchants and hawkers, carrying baskets and bags, hawking on the dock. They are doing business with merchants. They rely on this to maintain a normal life for the family. You said that the docks are under martial law, and their business is not the same.
Who will do it.
Therefore, the officials below said that the most indispensable thing in Yangzhou is gardens. Which big businessman does not have a decent garden? They are all well organized and neatly tidied, and they are all looking forward to the emperor living in them.
Fourth Master did not hesitate and immediately agreed. The first thing after landing was to lift martial law and restore normal order.
As for where to live, listen to Lin Yutong.
Lin Yutong took the brochures sent one by one and ordered two families. Both of them were salt merchants. When Li Wei was in the salt administration, he mentioned these two families in a letter. Compared with other families, they were law-abiding.
Yes. She was the first one to dare to respond to Li Wei and open a salt farm on the island. As a reward, she ordered these two.
He, the fourth master, the queen mother and the princes lived in one house, and the clan members were settled in one place. As for the accompanying officials, it would be good to have a room. Of course, there must be a lot of people who are flattering, and one person can live in the same garden.
. But for them, they still have to be close to the fourth master. It is really best to have a room for rest next to the fourth master’s office.
Lin Yutong only needs to choose the place, but as for how to arrange it, that is not her thing to worry about.
After getting off the boat, we went directly to the dragon chariot. Along the way, there was no waving hands to greet the cheers of the people on both sides like what was shown on TV. Except at the dock, the government specially selected some local celebrities and gentry to make a show.
Besides, there are no ordinary people.
This is actually not much different from the greetings of leaders in later generations. Those who go there are all scheduled in advance. Even if others want to watch, they can only listen to the live broadcast across several roads. With good eyes,
What I saw was just carriages one after another. What I could brag about was just talking about the royal style, nothing more.
Lin Yutong felt sorry for the fourth master, "I might as well have gone out last time." He dressed lightly and hid his whereabouts, and could see whatever he wanted and how he wanted.
Fourth Master smiled: "Let's go out like this tomorrow?"
Really?
In fact, Fourth Master was not joking. He said he wanted to go out by himself, so he was really wearing a blue shirt and long robe and planned to go out incognito.
I haven’t seen much of this garden since I moved in. In fact, it’s always the same view. If it’s on the list of posts prepared for Fourth Master, then this yard naturally has many unique features. Ask someone to accompany the Queen Mother in the garden.
Look, he really took Lin Yutong out of the back door.
Hongwang was responsible for the safety of the garden. When the Fourth Master said he wanted to go out, Hongwang made all the arrangements so that no one was alarmed.
After the martial law was lifted in large areas, Yangzhou's market has indeed returned to prosperity.
Sit in a teahouse and listen to what the people have to say. The most popular in the past two days are the teahouses with storytellers. There are storytellers who can interpret things and tell them things that no one has seen.
It seems true. One said that the Fourth Master was eight feet tall, burly and handsome, and the other said that the Fourth Master was nine feet tall and had a long beard. Anyway, no matter what I heard, it didn’t sound like a real person.
It is the god enshrined in the temple.
After hearing the two stories, the two of them exited and walked around the street to take a look.
If it is not unusual to see foreigners in the capital, then it is even less unusual to see foreigners in Yangzhou. Wearing all kinds of dresses, blond, blue-eyed, or with different skin colors, speaking broken Chinese, they are seen on every street.
On the street, you can always meet one or two. The locals are not surprised, few people stare at them.
Seeing the confidence on the faces of those small businessmen and hawkers, they had no ambiguity in doing business with foreigners. Lin Yutong's eyes were a little complicated. Thinking of that once poor and weak country, when the people met foreigners, either
Either fearful or flattering. When walking on the road, when you see a foreigner, you have to give way first.
Nothing like this...so...so good!
Lin Yutong held the fourth master's hand tightly, and all these years of hard work were finally not in vain.
The fourth master patted Lin Yutong, put away the moisture in his eyes, turned his face and told Su Peisheng to stand at the door of a small restaurant, and pulled Lin Yutong over.
Su Peisheng laughed along with him: "Sir, even though this store is not big, it is still a time-honored one. Made with crab powder and lion's head, it is considered unique in Yangzhou."
Then go and try it.
There were four or five tables in the small hall, and they were all packed with people. There was only one empty table in the corner, which I guess was reserved by Su Peisheng.
The two of them went over to sit down. The fourth master gave Su Peisheng a look, and then he sat next to him. Before they came up, two more people came in. They looked around, and when they saw that there was no room left, they walked towards this table.
The shopkeeper is a middle-aged man with a mustache. He seems to be very familiar with these two customers. "It's you two shopkeepers. Why are you free today?"
"It's just like your family. I'm so scared." The fatter one among the two took over, and as he spoke, he was about to take a seat opposite the Fourth Master.
Su Peisheng quickly stopped him, "Who are these people? You dare to sit here."
Before Fourth Master could stop him, the white-faced and bearded man smiled, "It seems that the three of you are strangers and don't know the rules here." He pointed to several other tables, "Look at those, they are all here.
If you share a table, no other tables will be opened until one table is full. Everyone in Old Yangzhou knows this. This is an old rule in the store."
The shopkeeper nodded quickly, "Yes! This rule has been in place since my great-grandfather."
Fourth Master waved to Su Peisheng, smiled at the two guests and said, "Sit down. It's because we don't understand, please forgive me."
They are all people who hang out in the business world. No one has the eyesight to see them. When they see the clothes of these three people, they dare not be careless. Especially when there are women in the family, it seems that they are somewhat rude.
He quickly handed over his hands and apologized, and said many rude words.
Lin Yutong didn't care, "Sit down, it's convenient for everyone."
The two sat down and shouted to the shopkeeper: "Old rules!"
This is considered a la carte.
It's quite awkward to sit at the same table and not talk. There are few people doing business and they are not talkative, but they can talk to anyone in a few words.
When the tea arrived, the two of them took the initiative to pour tea for Fourth Master. Just as they were about to pour it for Lin Yutong, Su Peisheng snatched it away.
The Fourth Master was afraid of embarrassing the two of them, so he took the initiative to chat, "What are your last names?"
"My surname is Fang..." The fat black man said with a smile on his face, "He is the shopkeeper of the Jinxiu Silk Shop in front. This..." He pointed to the person next to him, "This is the second shopkeeper of Taihe Pawn Shop, his surname is Wang.
."
The fourth master exchanged greetings with others and said it was a pleasure to meet them. He only mentioned his surname as Jin and brought out the family's old housekeeper.
Before he could say anything, Shopkeeper Wang said, "I heard that he is from the capital. He must have taken the dry road."
Fourth Master nodded, "Yes! Come and see the fun."
The shopkeeper laughed: "Brother, I have never seen anything before the emperor. He rushed to our Yangzhou, but there is a good deal to be done?"
This question is not unusual. Many merchants in the capital will take advantage of this time to bring the good goods they have accumulated to Yangzhou, and they will definitely be able to sell them at a good price. There are countless people on the ground in Yangzhou looking around for good items.
There are so many noble people who have come back, and they all look very different. They don’t ask for any special care, it’s just a personal relationship. You said that they have already given gifts to each other, is it appropriate for us not to give them as gifts? You said that they have given this one as a gift, but is it appropriate not to give you that one?
?Many officials and the female relatives at home dare not go anywhere these days. They put on makeup every day and wait for the Queen Mother or Queen to summon them. You said you can't go empty-handed here, the gifts must be given, and they must be given to the princes and princesses.
Well. Not to mention the big officials from the capital who came with me, they all got their point.
But are these people so flattering? What good things have I never seen?
What are people's preferences? When giving gifts, you have to give them to people's hearts.
So the shrewd businessman searched for good products based on these travel lists, and followed the holy driver on the dry road all the way to Yangzhou. Once the goods were on the ground, they had no worries about sales. Just ask for the higher prices.
There is no second price.
Therefore, shopkeeper Fang felt that it was very natural for him to ask such a question.
Fourth Master nodded and said, "It's lucky that I got a good price."
The two complimented each other again, and the shopkeeper surnamed Wang also said: "If you have good things in the future, just ship them over. We will benefit from each other."
It's very interesting to win a business partner.
Shopkeeper Fang was beating the drums at the same time, but he didn't forget to turn around and urge: "Hurry up and order the food..."
As soon as he finished speaking, the shopkeeper came with his waiter. The waiter brought a few side dishes and a bottle of wine, "You guys eat and drink first, the dishes will be served soon..."
Shopkeeper Wang turned around and said, "Why is the food a little slow today?"
As soon as this person said this, someone from the other two tables also started shouting, "Really? What's wrong?"
The shopkeeper bowed repeatedly and said, "I'm sorry, everyone, the shop assistant was not awake, so I was delayed for a while on the way to buy..."
Someone answered: "That's right! It's true that everything will be better when the saint comes, and business will be better. But sometimes, it's really inconvenient to go out. Let's talk about my guy. I was stunned at the dock.
Three days…”
The other one laughed: "Come on. Speaking of it, it's much better now than it was in the days of the Holy Ancestor. At that time, you didn't even think about doing it for a month or two, and it was an honor if you delayed it. It's much better now.
After three days of pressing, your goods are not worn out. Why don’t you tell me that they have exempted you from taxes for three months? As a human being, you must know how to be satisfied.”
As soon as this was said, someone responded, "Don't say that your cloth is not wasted, it is my lost product, and the government over there has compensated me. After all, it is not a loss. This is not bad! What else can I do?
."
There was so much noise that the shopkeeper in the store was so frightened, "Everyone! Everyone! Let's not talk about state affairs! Don't talk about state affairs! How can we talk about the affairs of the Holy One? Trouble comes from mouth, and everyone eats food and drinks.
..." As he said that, he held his hands up again and again, as if asking for help.
Just as he was talking, a child who looked like a beggar came in from outside. He raised his hand and pieces of paper flew around.
The boy's face turned pale. He saw the customers scrambling to see what it was and waved his hands repeatedly, "Shopkeeper, it's not my fault."
The shopkeeper didn't have time to take care of him, so he almost knelt down to the customers in the store and said, "Everyone, please show your respect. You can't look at this thing. I'd better give it to you and ask someone to burn it down."
Lin Yutong glanced at the piece of paper snatched by Su Peisheng and placed in front of the Fourth Master. It said on it something like "On the Tenth Day in Yangzhou, the people will be poisoned, the Tatars will be destroyed, and the Han Dynasty will be returned to me." The seal is a lotus flower.
Before Lin Yutong had time to communicate with Fourth Master, there was a burst of laughter from the crowd over there.
Someone said: "Isn't this Our Lady of the White Lotus asking the shopkeeper to be her son-in-law? Why did she come to you?" You could see it from his position, but no one in the shop opposite was going to hand it out.
The person who knew about it said: "Then you don't know something. The ancestors of the shopkeeper's family probably suffered a lot of casualties."
The shopkeeper's face turned even paler, and he cupped his hands and said, "Everyone, please bear witness to me. I'm doing my business properly, but I don't have any other thoughts. As for talking about my ancestors, hey! How many years have passed?
!Yes! My grandfather was the only ancestor who died at that time... But what do you mean? There is no death when any dynasty changes. Yes! The death was miserable! Very miserable! But what happens after that?
Are you going to die for this?! It is said in the play that righteousness must come before personal relationships, right? What is righteousness? It means that the world is not in chaos and everything is peaceful. This is righteousness. What is personal relationships?
?This is the guy who writes these bullshit articles in an attempt to cause trouble. Under the guise of seeking revenge, don’t he want to stand out and be a leader? Let me add another selfish word, ancestors are important, very important! But what is more important are children and grandchildren.
Who would joke about the life and death of their children and grandchildren for the sake of their ancestors a hundred years ago? Isn't this crazy?"
As soon as these words came out, Shopkeeper Wang nodded and said, "What I said is true. Isn't it crazy to worry about the ancients if we don't care about today's peaceful life? I would rather be a peace dog than a person in troubled times. I have experienced troubled times.
If you suffer a loss, you must not remember this lesson."
Those sitting in the lobby talked about these things one by one. The voices were not loud, but the main meaning was that there was no need to mess around, it was serious to live a good life.
Lin Yutong's palms were sweating, and he relaxed now. It's not that people are forgetful, but that these people chose the wrong time. At this time, the Qing Dynasty had a strong national power and a healthy people. It was a rare era of peace and prosperity. I was willing to follow the trouble.
Most of them have had unhappy lives, or their ambitions have not been satisfied. But more ordinary people only think about how to live their lives. It's time for their sons to go to school, and it's time for their daughters to learn needlework.
Instead of taking risks and fooling around, it's better to think about how far away your son's education is, and how far away his daughter is from getting married.
This is just like when someone gives change and the two pieces have the symbol of "Fa|Lun|Gong" printed on them, and then write a few inflammatory remarks that can be said to be anti-social and anti-government.
Who is going to take it seriously? I scolded him for being sick. After he was full and full, he went to do what he was supposed to do. He didn’t even have to think twice.
As he was thinking about it, someone over there collected the papers and handed them to the shopkeeper, and advised, "Don't burn them, just give them to the government."
Someone there objected, "What if the government takes people indiscriminately?"
The man laughed and said, "Well, there are so many people sitting here. They know each other well but don't know their inner feelings. Who knows if there will be villains among them who will complain behind their backs. It's better to send them to the government. At least we can be honest..."
Lin Yutong saw the fourth master wink at Su Peisheng. Su Peisheng quietly got up and went to the back kitchen. He was probably going out to do something through the back door.
As a result, Su Peisheng hadn't come back yet. He heard the sound of gongs in the distance. It was noisy outside. The boy went out to take a look. When he came back, he came back with a smile on his face: "It's the government... posted a notice. It said it was to reassure everyone. This
It's just a little fuss, it has nothing to do with anything else..."
If the shopkeeper hadn't been holding on to the counter, he would have almost collapsed to the ground. Now he could find his voice easily, "Everyone's food is included in the meal today..."
He couldn't be happier.
Fourth Master whispered to Lin Yutong: "Li Wei is pretty good."
It was good to respond quickly and calm people's hearts quickly.
But I don’t know what the White Lotus Sect was thinking, and they made such a fuss without incident.
madness!
"Are you stupid?" In the private room of a teahouse, a woman holding a pipa and half-hiding her face asked in a murmur as she played House of Flying Daggers in her hand.
The man sitting opposite him had a smile on his face, looking at this woman with a bit of obsession in his eyes, "Of course she's not stupid. How can ordinary people understand Yun Gu's methods."
Half of this woman's face was covered by a veil, and only a pair of eyes were exposed. The mist made people feel like they were floating on the waves of March, and her heart was swaying. When she heard the compliment, her eyes curled up with laughter.
, her peach blossom eyes were slightly raised, and she was indescribably charming, "Then I have to work hard for you next! My Mr. Ming!"
The man known as Mr. Ming burst out laughing: "You are now my Lady White Lotus, and whatever you say will be yours."
"What? Aren't you afraid that your master will find out and skin you?" The sound of the pipa sounded like a loud sound, covering up the sharpness in Yun Gu's voice.
Mr. Ming stood up, stood behind the woman, and put his hands around her waist dishonestly, "In front of the master, it is impossible to see the light. If not in front of the master, it is still impossible to see the light. What I want, the master cannot give. And
You can give it!" As he spoke, his hands moved around the woman's body dishonestly.
Yun Gu struggled slightly, this idiot with a spermatozoon!
No one knows the name of Mr. Ming. Anyway, he is called Mr. Ming. In the past few years, he has been in the White Lotus Sect, helping to deal with some things. But his true identity is not from the White Lotus Sect.
The followers are the thorn in the side of Master Twelve under the White Lotus Sect.
This time I was almost trapped in the capital and couldn't get out. If it weren't for this person's help, I really wouldn't have been able to get out.
What does this man want?
Woman?
no!
A once humble slave could only kneel before his master. If one day, he was given a chance to know the beauty of rights, would he still be a slave willingly?
Men, no matter what kind of men they are, power and beauty are what they dream of.
Wake up and hold the power of the world, but drunkenly lie on the lap of a beautiful woman. That’s all!
He said that the leader of the White Lotus Sect offered him a seat, but he was not tempted. In his words, they were just a rabble.
This is true, but his master Twelve Masters is now a fallen phoenix, worse than a chicken. Is there a future for following such a person?
Instead of going back to be a slave, it would be better to live freely in the world.
"Your Twelfth Master is now half a prisoner. Even if you don't go back, what can he do to you?" She asked back.
This man was indeed silent. That's right, if he didn't go back, the master really couldn't do anything to him. But if he went back, the result would just be silence in that mansion for ten or twenty years, or even longer.
But how many decades does a person have? How many twenty years does he have?
Yun Gu chuckled, there is no one in this world who will never betray. If he refuses to betray, it's just that the bait given is not tempting enough.
She softly spit out another trump card, "... We have a very close relationship with the Caobang. With their help, even if we can't accomplish anything, we can still live a leisurely life... Besides... you don't know, right?
There are ships in Caobang that can go to sea, and we also have our sub-rudder on the sea. There are islands with spring-like weather all year round. Even if they are small, they are as big as ours. Compared with the emperors of other countries, they are actually no different.
You don’t want to live like this, you really want to go back and bury your master with him..."
There are only two roads in front of you, one is a dead end like a living dead, and the end of the other may be freedom and power. With these two roads in front of you, which one should you choose?
This is almost a multiple-choice question with no choice.
It's that simple to win this man over. These things may seem illusory, but the beauty is real.
As long as a smart woman can control a man, she can have everything she wants.
Yun Gu used to dismiss such words, but now she feels that there is some truth to them.
No, he escaped smoothly and followed him to Yangzhou City under the emperor's nose.
What happened today was her arrangement. Others might think it was stupid to do this, but she knew that apart from this method, there was really no other way to gather the members of the White Lotus Sect.
The stupid, bold and direct way is to let the members of the White Lotus Sect who have not yet been exposed know that the White Lotus Empress is still there.
There are many branches of the White Lotus Sect, and those arrested now are all those who are important figures in the sect. Of course, the court does not dare to arrest them on a large scale. There is no way to arrest them on a large scale. If this is really the case, Yangzhou will
Not to mention that nine out of ten rooms are empty, but half the cup must be involved.
Those at the lowest level cannot be called believers. In fact, it is more appropriate to call them believers.
He preaches doctrines to them, but never assigns them anything to do. Their worship of the White Lotus Empress is almost like worshiping Guanyin Bodhisattva.
Of course, there are also some middle- and lower-class believers mixed in here, and now they are just like bees without a king, scurrying around. She is actually not very familiar with Jiangnan's generation of branch leaders, let alone contact them.
, then it is almost impossible to accomplish. What can we do without this stupid method?
Today I am telling those believers, don’t worry, Empress Bailian is still here.
Naturally, there are hidden messages on the scattered leaflets. As long as a small boss can read them clearly.
This is the purpose of this operation. As for the talk of attacking from the east to the west, it is all deception. When there is a huge disparity in power, no matter how hard you try, it will be in vain. If you are surrounded from east to west, from north to south, you will be attacked from all directions.
It's a joke.
The sound of the pipa covered the whispers, as well as the men's breathing and the women's moans.
After the song was over, the man straightened his clothes, turned his face and asked, "Didn't you say you were in contact with the Caobang again? If you don't need it now, when will you wait?"
Yun Gu put the pipa aside, letting her hair hang loosely, and smiled coquettishly, "How do you know there's no contact? Don't worry! We'll be here soon."
Mr. Ming looked back at the woman, a trace of doubt flashing in his eyes.
At this point, is there really anyone willing to listen to the White Lotus Sect’s instructions?
What's the picture?
Yun Gu went over, sat on the man's lap, and poked his chest with her hands, "Whatever you want, they will naturally want what you want?"
Also using a honey trap against Caobang?
Mr. Ming raised his eyebrows, these women are really pervasive.
"There are not many tricks, just useful ones." Yun Gu stood up, her face became unusually serious, she straightened her messy hair, and there was a bit of coldness in her tone, "Since ancient times, how many people have used beauty traps? Fan Li used it.
In exchange for the beauty Xi Shi, Wang Yun gave the beauty Diao Chan as a gift. What’s the result?”
Before Mr. Ming could speak, laughter could be heard outside, "Who is looking down on women? Who dares to look down on women?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the door was pushed open. A burly man walked in, dressed in short kudzu, with a bit of roughness, and walked in unscrupulously.
Mr. Ming's expression changed, "May I ask who this is..."
"Why ask knowingly?" The man sat down on the chair with a flourish, "I am the one you are waiting for." As he spoke, he looked at Yun Gu with a bit of unscrupulous eyes, "Sister, this is
Come see me, why are you so secretive after seeing me?"
Yun Gu's expression remained unchanged, "May I ask what you call me?"
"What title is not a title?" He slapped his chest, "My name is Chen Da. If you want to discuss, just call me Brother Chen."
"Brother Chen." Yun Gu Yingying bowed, "I didn't expect Brother Chen to come so quickly!" She just didn't know how much the other party heard what she just said to Mr. Ming. Seeing how unscrupulous he was in this teahouse, I was afraid that
I must have accidentally ended up on someone else's territory.
She guessed this, but Chen Da, who was sitting there, chuckled and said, "Don't panic, girl, our Cao Gang still has some respect in Jiangnan. I heard that you are here, so we took care of you.
. Feel free to speak, don’t worry. As for the honey trap you mentioned... Hahaha..." He laughed again, "We are all rough people, floating in the river just to beg for a bite to eat.
I come from a poor background, so it would be best if I could find a wife to live with. If not, then the brothers are willing to accept this beauty trap. What do you say? It’s cool to be a ghost under the peony flower!"
As he said that, he glanced at Yun Gu's loose collar again and swallowed with a 'gudong' sound.
Mr. Ming was particularly displeased with this look, which was almost dripping with tears. It was too vulgar.
But Yun Gu smiled so hard, "Brother Chen is truly a man."
After being praised by the beauty, Chen laughed even more wildly. Yun Gu glanced at the door and then asked: "I didn't know that my godbrother, who left the password before, is here."
"Come on, come on!" Chen Da responded and called out the door, "Third son, come in."
Yun Gu looked out the door and saw a young boy walking in. He greeted Yun Gu with the etiquette of teaching, then stepped back and stood behind Chen Da.
There was a hint of satisfaction on Chen Da's face. Yun Gu's eyes flashed, and she felt that this young man named Sanzi was smart. If he was really a brother in the church, then it would undoubtedly be a wise decision to join the Cao Gang. And this Cao Gang
He chose the candidate very well. This Chen Da was vulgar, reckless and a bit arrogant. It was indeed easier to convince such a person. He didn't even have to think about it. He just showed a little weakness and he wanted to pounce.
Go to the front to show off his abilities.
But when they met him at this time, the third son respected Chen Da everywhere. For Chen Da, his self-esteem was satisfied. It was indeed the most appropriate thing to do to save face in front of women.
But is there such an outstanding rising star in the church?
She had never heard anyone talk about it.
It's not that she is suspicious, but that after all these years, she is the only one who has not been thrown into jail. The only thing she can do is to be cautious.
Therefore, with a smile on her face, she began to question the three sons, "May I ask how many sticks of incense were burned?"
This is a code word! A code word that only the recognized leader of the White Lotus Sect can understand.
A trace of confusion flashed in the third son's eyes, and then he shook his head, "So that my aunt will know that this disciple is not yet a disciple of the White Lotus Sect..."
Um?
What does this mean?
Yun Gu looked at this somewhat shy young man with a bit of confusion in her eyes, "I'm confused about this."
