Dao Men always emphasizes "high attention" in everything they do, but whether it attaches great importance to it, or whether the so-called emphasis is a high-profile one, is a very important judgment factor, which is whether the organization has been set up and whether the establishment has been implemented.
Zhao Ran's establishment of the Xiaojie Temple was obviously not a high-profile statement. It was truly a concrete manifestation of the great importance he attached to it. With the establishment of the Xiaojie Temple as a bridgehead, actions against the three departments, especially the Qionghe Department, began to suddenly become intensive.
Although most of the tribesmen have obeyed the call of the family leader and returned to the mountains to harvest in the autumn, there are hundreds of people and all kinds of tribesmen, and there are always a few tribesmen who have the initial awakening consciousness and are not willing to be slaves for the rest of their lives.
After hearing about the generous policies of the Taoist clan on the small streets, and secretly knowing through Baozhong that these policies were certain, they finally made up their minds and took advantage of the cover of darkness to escape from the mountains with their whole family.
Working for Baima Yuan earns twelve cents a day. Baima Yuan also lends money to buy pastures and houses, and promises to protect them. Who wouldn't want such a good thing?
As long as you muster up the courage to escape, you will no longer have to endure the inexplicable and unprovoked whips of the family master in the future. The woman you marry will not have to be sent to the family master’s bed on the eve of the wedding. You will be able to keep the cattle and sheep you have worked hard to raise and the crops you planted.
In the next part, the child you give birth to will not have to repeat your own painful journey...
At first there were two or three scattered households, then four or five households. By the end of September, nearly a hundred households had escaped from the mountains and were placed in newly established settlements by Baimayuan.
, and this escape trend is still accelerating!
The big and small heads of the Qionghe tribe quickly noticed the tribesmen's intention to escape, and specially organized manpower to block the roads going down the mountain. However, many times, the manpower blocking the roads often turned a blind eye and let them go.
The tribesmen descended the mountain, and sometimes they even joined the fleeing team themselves.
The situation is getting better and better, but the vigilance of Baimayuan and Xiaojie Temple is also getting higher and higher. Baimayuan began to increase its strength to Xiaojie Temple, and expanded the inspection of the square hall of Xiaojie Temple to fifteen people, headed by Baozhong.
, Zhang Wu, Jiang Zhuzi, and Iron Leg Long San are the backbone, they are all good players in the world.
In this year's autumn harvest, Hongyuan's grain output reached a new high. After the bumper harvest, Baimayuan Fangtang came forward to carry out intensive self-defense training in various villages.
Guan Er is very experienced in this area. After working hard for half a month, he organized dozens of villages that are close to the four major mountain systems. I won’t mention the effectiveness of the training for the moment, but at least he organized the villages.
In self-defense, if all these young men are pulled out, the number will reach more than 800.
The autumn harvest of the third part has also been completed, but the leaders no longer dare to take people down the mountain to work in exchange for money. There are only more than 200 people left in the road construction team on the southern line. These people have sneaked down the mountain and are on the White Horse Courtyard.
The tribesmen who had registered as slaves became fugitive slaves.
Of course, this team is growing continuously and slowly. Almost every day, tribesmen are escaping. Women, children, the elderly and the weak are cleaning up the house in their new home, discussing how much money to borrow with the charity fund managers, and the young and middle-aged people are coming to work on the construction site.
, in exchange for food to feed their families.
Zhang Wujin was in the temple registering a family of Qionghe tribe members who had just escaped. There were six people in this family, an old woman, two couples, and a three-year-old child.
Seeing their panic, Zhang Wujin didn't take it seriously. Almost all the tribesmen who escaped were not panic, so he comforted them with a few words, explained the treatment they would receive after naturalization, and then classified them into
The newly built Haizishan Shiqijia settlement.
But after the formalities were completed, Zhang Wujin discovered that the two men had a short knife tied inside their trousers, and the blood stains seeped out of the linen, making them extremely eye-catching.
Zhang Wujin could not let go of this suspicion and immediately questioned him. The family did not hide a few words, then knelt on the ground and kowtow vigorously, and the whole thing was settled. On their way out, they happened to encounter the leader of their family who blocked them.
So the leader was killed.
If someone died, this matter would definitely become a big deal. Zhang Wujin had the family taken to the back to temporarily guard them, and reported to the palace master Lin Yuwen, who quickly reported to Lu Miaozhu.
Lu Miaozhu didn't dare to be expert, so he also reported the matter to Baima Court. While waiting for Baima Court's reply, he notified various patrols to make everyone more vigilant.
Sure enough, in the evening, there was a commotion in the small street, and more than thirty young men from the Qionghe tribe, each armed with hunting bows, hunting forks, long knives, and nail sticks, rushed towards the small street.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Wu and Jiang Zhuzi, who were patrolling the street here, quickly blew their bamboo whistles to warn, and together with more than ten small street temple patrols who came after hearing the news, they stopped this group of tribesmen.
During the quarrel, the general situation became very clear. These people were here to arrest the fugitive members of the family who had just killed the man.
The leader of the team, Baozhong, was very familiar to him. His name was Zhuo Shan. He was very eager to him that day and gave him a lot of kickbacks. But now he looks like he has turned his back on him and is clamoring for Baozhong to hand over the murderer.
Baozhong said solemnly to the other side: "Zhuoshan, you are really brave. You know where this place is, but you still dare to gather people to cause trouble. Do you want to rebel?"
Zhuo Shan took two steps forward, his face full of anger: "A family of untouchables in my clan fled into the small street temple, and they killed my brother! It is only right to protect one's loyalty and pay for one's life with a murder. What are you doing to stop me? Do you think you are still here?
Are the party members in charge?"
Baozhong said solemnly: "What kind of party members are not party members? Here are only the people of the Ming Dynasty who are kind and loyal, and only the Taoist disciples who are kind and loyal! Arrest people when you say you want to arrest them? Where do you think this is? This is a small street, here are
The small street temple of Daomen is not a place for you to act wild! If you say that your brother was killed, then you should first report the case to the Taoist temple, write a complaint and wait for the White Horse Court to investigate the case. After the investigation, we will give you the result.
Bringing so many people here to shout and kill, do you really think that the White Horse Courtyard is made of mud?"
Zhuo Shan said angrily: "Why are you proposing to the White Horse Court? This is a family matter in my clan. The agreement reached by our three tribes of White Horse and the Ming Dynasty provides for tribal autonomy. The White Horse Court has no control over my family!"
At the mention of the autonomy of the three ministries, the evil fire that had been suppressed in Baozhong's heart for a long time burst out. It was precisely in pursuit of autonomy like the three ministries that the party members, under the leadership of Li Yansi, Zehun and Qiangxiong, endured hardships
Two and a half years, many people have been impoverished, and my mother almost fell ill. If he hadn't kept in mind Abbot Zhao's instructions when he first came here, he would have gone up and killed this little head of the Qionghe tribe who was getting more and more disgusted with him.
People!
At this moment, Baozhong was too lazy to talk to him, and just said: "I have no control over autonomy or not. This is a small street, a place under the direct control of Baimayuan, not your remote place in the mountains and ravines of Qionghe. You must dare to break in."
