Before the New Year, Lin Jue had another big thing to do. That was the opening of the Yingtianfu Grand Theater. According to the plan, the opening of the Yingtianfu Grand Theater was imminent. In late November, Zheng Nuanyu and
Qian Liuer has gone to Yingtianfu to rehearse the opening play in advance. Lin Bonian, who is responsible for the opening of Yingtianfu Theater, has already been stationed in Yingtian. Lin Jue had previously inquired about various matters such as the stage decoration of Yu's script, but on the ground
There was no time for inspection and acceptance.
After entering the twelfth lunar month, as the opening time of the Grand Theater approached, Lin Jue had to forcefully take a few days off under Fang Dunru's gloomy gaze to go to Yingtian Mansion to discuss the matter.
On the sixth day of the twelfth lunar month, Lin Jue set off from the capital to Yingtian Mansion. In addition to Lin Hu and several guards from the mansion, Bai Bing also went with him. Of course, Bai Bing went there in the name of the security captain of the Grand Theater. Here
The current task is to select suitable nursing staff for the soon-to-open Yingtianfu Grand Theater branch. There are already dozens of applicants waiting to be selected.
Of course, in addition to the apparent mission, it also has to be said that Lin Jue's selfishness was at work. Ever since the kiss in the ruined temple, the relationship between the two has become more subtle.
After Bai Yushuang left Lin Zhai and went to Funiu Mountain, the biggest obstacle between the two people was eliminated. Lin Jue was worried about the little princess before, and it was hard for Lin Jue to take any action. After the little princess made it clear before returning to Hangzhou,
Lin Jue no longer had any scruples.
In just a few days, the relationship between Lin Jue and Bai Bing has improved by leaps and bounds, and the relationship has entered the stage of being sweet and sweet. Although Bai Bing has a cold personality, he has not interacted with anyone for many years, giving people a feeling of being unapproachable.
. But in fact, Bai Bing is just a girl with a simple personality. She has never experienced emotional affairs. The first person she fell in love with was a master of love like Lin Jue. Naturally, she was fascinated by Lin Jue. So much so that Lin Jue fell in love with her.
She didn't know how to refuse her request, and apart from the last line of defense, the taboo of kissing and touching her breasts was broken within a few days.
It was precisely because of the inseparable love between the two that Lin Jue took Bai Bing to Yingtian Mansion. Of course, with a bodyguard like Bai Bing, a master of martial arts, safety was guaranteed. But that was not the case.
It's second.
During the two-day journey to Yingtian Mansion, without the pressure and eyes of Luwu Qianqian and others in the house, Lin Jue became even more unscrupulous. Finally, before arriving at Yingtian Mansion, he stayed at an inn in Ningling County, Lin Jue
Feeling that she had achieved her wish, Bai Bing took away the body she had treasured for eighteen years with half-hearted effort.
Lin Jue himself didn't know why he was so eager to get Bai Bing. His junior sister Fang Huanqiu had been in love with him for three years, but he didn't have any wrong thoughts about her. And this Bai Bing, since he met her
, there is an urgent desire. I don’t know what’s wrong with me. Maybe there is something in Bai Bing’s body that arouses his passion, or maybe he needs some fresh taste to arouse his ambition recently. In short,
, Lin Jue did just that, and had no regrets.
For Bai Bing, it was unbelievable that she had only known this man for a few months and entrusted her body and mind to him. You must know that for eighteen years, her master Bai Yushuang has instilled in her that men are unreliable.
Men are all ruthless people and should never be trusted. But nothing can resist the charm of Lin Jue. Eighteen years of indoctrination is not worth a few months of getting along with each other. Under Lin Jue's attack, the defense line
It collapsed at an extremely fast speed. I wonder what Bai Yushuang felt when she knew this.
In terms of martial arts, Lin Jue may not be able to break through Bai Bing's defense even if he uses all his strength. But in terms of emotional offensive, Bai Bing is not as good as Lin Jue. It has to be said that sometimes, in the world,
What happened is really indescribably wonderful.
In the afternoon of the ninth day of the twelfth lunar month, Lin Jue and his entourage arrived at Yingtian Mansion. Yingtian Mansion was named Songzhou at the beginning of the founding of the Zhou Dynasty, and was called Shangqiu in ancient times. The Book of Songs says: The divine bird of destiny descended and became Shang. In fact, it was the ancient Yan Bo
The story is that the Yan Bo clan was entrusted here, and the Yan Bo clan was called the God of Fire. The Yan Bo clan was buried here after his death, and his tomb was called Shangqiu. This is of course one theory. Another theory is that the place where Yingtian Mansion is located is
The hinterland of the Central Plains is where the north-south thoroughfare and the four directions meet. Therefore, merchants gathered here and business flourished, so it was called Shangqiu.
All in all, no matter which way you say it, Yingtian Mansion is not a small place. Especially since the founding of the Zhou Dynasty, Yingtian Mansion was almost designated as the capital due to its location in the hinterland of the Central Plains. If it were not for the removal of the threat from Xixia
, and if Yingtiandu is too close to the border of Liao Kingdom, it may really become the capital of the Zhou Dynasty.
It is precisely because of these origins that Yingtian City has become one of the best metropolises in the Central Plains. Among the big cities in the north, apart from Bianliang, the capital, and Luoyang, the eastern capital, it is Yingtian Mansion. Its city outline is dozens of miles away.
, there are as many as 600,000 people in the city alone. This scale is enough to rank among the top ten prosperous cities in the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Everything went smoothly. Lin Bonian was sitting here. Most of the previous things had been arranged properly. Lin Jue was also very satisfied with the script rehearsal. Until the premiere on the tenth day of the twelfth lunar month, everything
All perfect.
Due to time constraints, Lin Jue had to return to Beijing the next day. That night, Lin Jue and Bai Bing wanted to take a quick look at the market in Yingtianfu. The two of them wandered the streets with interest in the cold wind, and when they arrived at Xiaodong
When I entered the square, I was shocked by the scene in front of me.
In the freezing cold wind, there was a dense crowd of people standing in the Xiaodongmen Square. Everyone had black cloth belts wrapped around their heads and stood there holding oil lamps in their hands. More than a dozen people were covered in black robes, with only two eyes exposed.
The person stood on the high platform in front and was talking loudly.
Lin Jue and Bai Bing approached curiously. Suddenly, several people with black ribbons on their heads stared at Bai Bing and said, "You woman, why are you walking around in the middle of the night with your head and neck exposed? You are not chaste.
This is a crime, this is blasphemous. Go away, go away."
Lin Jue was confused by these nondescript and unclear words, and Bai Bing was also at a loss. How could Lin Jue give up after being spoken to in vain? He was about to argue with them. Someone behind him whispered: "
Brother, please leave quickly, these people are unreasonable to them, they are all members of the Qing Sect and are not to be trifled with."
Lin Jue was stunned and frowned: "Qing Sect? What kind of religion is that? I have never heard of it."
The man waved his hand and said: "Don't ask me, I don't know. It has only been around for more than a year. It is said that the leader of this sect is a great god who comes and is called the Holy Duke. He comes to save the suffering and teach all people. These sect members do not eat meat.
They only eat green vegetables, so they are called Qingjiao. They stipulate that women must cover their faces with black robes when going out, and men must tie their heads with black belts. Three times a day, they must kneel to the sky and recite oaths, making it mysterious. In short,
, not easy to mess with, not to be messed with.”
Lin Jue was speechless. In fact, these things are not uncommon. In this era, the technology is backward, the people are ignorant, and there are many things that pretend to be gods and ghosts. Just like the White Lotus Sect and Red Lotus Sect in real history, they are all used
The ignorance of the people has come up with some tricks. They are nothing more than deceiving the people and extorting money.
Lin Jue didn't want to cause trouble, so he and Bai Bing took a detour. In the cold wind, where the crowd was gathering, the voice of someone shouting loudly reached his ears clearly.
"Dear brothers and sisters, in today's world, the world is deteriorating, and people's hearts are not the same as before. Morality has been corrupted, and everyone is chasing after gifts and forgetting their righteousness. Women are not alone in the boudoir, but they walk around the market with their faces exposed and their teeth exposed, which completely destroys the moral integrity of women.
Men who do not abide by filial piety, righteousness and benevolence, forget justice when they see profit, betray their friends for glory, and do not know what shame is. If the world continues like this, it will be punished by God... I, the Holy Duke of the Qing Sect, have come to save all living beings in the world... Anyone who joins me
Qingjiao, all those who respect me, the Holy Duke, can be saved... You must start from yourself, restrain your own behavior, not eat meat, and purify the filth from your body. Restrain your women, and do not lose your maternal virtues...
...Only in this way can we be saved when the divine punishment comes. Some people may laugh at you, slander you, and slander our Qingjiao. The Holy Duke has said that you must not tolerate those who dare to slander our Qingjiao brothers and sisters. You must share the same hatred.
, even if you slaughter them like pigs and sheep. Not only are you doing nothing wrong by killing these people who slander our Qing Sect, you are actually warriors in our religion... Sheng Gong said, but you believe in Qing Sect and follow the teachings to respect Sheng Gong.
Those who die will enter the Yunxiao Heavenly Palace, and will be served by seventeen virgin fairies. Those who die for our religion will become holy envoys after death. There will be seventy-two virgins serving in the Yunxiao Heavenly Palace, and their souls will be immortal...those detractors, attack
If you die, you will fall into the devil's barrier and be bitten by evil spirits for eternity. You must pray devoutly for the Holy Lord every day. The Holy Lord will protect you from worries in this life and eternal life after death..."
Listening to the intermittent words blown by the wind, Lin Jue couldn't help laughing. This laugh attracted hundreds of angry looks.
Bai Bing hurriedly whispered: "Stop laughing, they seem to be angry."
Lin Jue nodded, pulled Bai Bing and trotted away, leaving Xiaodongmen Square and coming to an alley, whereupon he burst into laughter.
"What's going on in this world? Why are there so many crooked demons and evil ways? Damn it, there are seventy-two virgins to serve after death. If everyone believes in Qingjiao, how can there be so many virgins to share? And what about women?
"If you believe in religion, will you go to the Heavenly Palace after death and be served by seventy-two strong men? Then wouldn't this be against women's ethics? Women can't bear it, haha. What is this Qingjiao doing?" Lin Juexiao
Out of breath.
Bai Bing simply couldn't bear to listen and said angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about? Stop talking and why do you care about their business?"
Lin Jue shook his head and said: "It's not my fault. If this continues, there will be chaos. Only in troubled times will there be opportunities for these evil heretics to run rampant. I don't know what the prefect of Yingtian Mansion does. How can he allow such evil cults to be openly seen?
Is this spreading in the city? Is this crazy? Before I leave tomorrow, I’m going to pay my respects.”
Bai Bing looked at Lin Jue speechlessly and said, "I don't understand. I'm confused by what you said."
Lin Jue took her hand and said: "You don't have to understand, let's go back and have a rest. I'm disgusted tonight. If we don't go shopping anymore, we might as well go back and do the things we like. The spring night is worth every moment.
Daughter of gold, I brought you out here to be criticized. Am I crazy?"
Bai Bing blushed and whispered: "What crazy things are you talking about? I...I'm not happy."
Lin Jue burst out laughing.
…
Early the next morning, Lin Jue indeed went to Yingtianfu Yamen and handed over a name card to meet him. Lin Jue was by no means meddling in other people's affairs. Lin Jue felt that these things were actually related to the stability of society and must be stopped in the bud. Otherwise, Lin Jue felt that these things were related to the stability of society.
The more these cults spread like cancer, they will have extremely bad consequences and will be difficult to deal with. They not only harm the people, but also endanger the security of the country.
After handing over the name card, someone came to greet him soon. Lin Juelai came to Yingtian Mansion anonymously and did not identify himself. But in fact, he was a Beijing official and an official of the popular Ordinance Department, although he was only a sixth-grade official.
, but when it comes to the local level, local officials also have to take a high look.
"Oh, I thought it was a dream, but I didn't expect that the world-famous scholar Lang Lin actually came to my Yingtian Mansion. This is really unexpected. Why didn't Lin Zhuangyuan inform me earlier? I'm fine with you.
As a courtesy to the landlord." A fat official walked out quickly and shouted from a distance.
Lin Jue smiled hurriedly and stepped forward to salute: "You are the magistrate of Yingtian. Please forgive me for being rude, I don't know your honorary title yet."
"No, I, Qian Delu, am unknown. Mr. Lin is famous all over the world. I have great admiration for Mr. Lin's poetry. Please come into the back hall and sit down to talk."
"It turns out it's Lord Qian. I'm sorry for taking the liberty of coming to see you." Lin Jue said with a smile.
"I can't ask for it, I can't ask for it. Please, please." Qian Delu was smiling and extremely polite.
The two of them entered an exquisite flower hall in the back hall and sat down. Lin Jue turned around and looked around. Suddenly he saw a pair of words hanging above the incense table, and his heart suddenly dropped. The words contained only four words: "Holy Saint."
"The Duke is the greatest." Lin Jue suddenly remembered the Holy Duke of the Qing Sect whom those people mentioned last night.
Qian Delu had no idea about Lin Jue's expression. He asked someone to bring him tea and asked with a smile: "Lin Zhuangyuan, I have admired him for a long time. Today I finally got to see him. He is indeed as talented as the legend says.
He is chic and charming. It is truly a blessing for the country to have such a young talent come out of our great Zhou Dynasty."
Lin Jue came back to his senses and said with a smile: "Your Excellency, Lin is worthy of your praise."
Qian Delu chuckled and said, "It's not a compliment, it's the truth. Does Mr. Lin have any official business in coming to Yingtian Mansion this time? Seeing that Mr. Lin came incognito and didn't say hello beforehand, could it be that it's something that shouldn't be revealed to others?
If that’s the case, there’s no need to say it.”
Lin Jue smiled and said: "That's not true. I'm here purely for private matters, so it's not appropriate to come as an official."
"Oh? It turns out to be a private matter. But Mr. Lin came to see me today, but he didn't have any advice."
Lin Jue thought for a while and said: "Sir Qian, although I am here for private matters, as a court official, I can't help but pay attention to local reputation matters when I come down. I have been in Yingtian Mansion for two days and I have seen that the people in this city live in peace and business is prosperous.
, the public security is good, I am quite impressed. I think it is all due to Mr. Qian's management. I admire him very much."
"Hahaha, blah blah blah, I can't bear Mr. Lin's ridiculous praise. However... I am trusted by the emperor and the court to serve as the prefect of Yingtian Mansion, so I naturally dare not have the slightest bit of loyalty to the emperor.
I am lax. As an official, I naturally have to work diligently, love the people, and settle down. If there are some small political achievements, hahaha, they are the majesty of the Holy God and the shining of the Holy Ming. As an official, I only have a small fingernail.
It’s just an ordinary contribution.” Qian Delu raised his little fingernails and smiled.
Lin Jue chuckled and said: "Master Qian is very humble. However, Master Qian, the subordinates found some flaws in the governance of Yingtian Mansion. I was going to leave today, but before leaving, I decided to come and disturb you.
I just want to raise this matter with Mr. Qian. I don’t know if it’s rude or not?”
"Welcome, you are most welcome. As an official, I love to hear opinions. What's more, the opinions pointed out by Lin Zhuangyuan are even more precious. I welcome Lin Zhuangyuan to speak out, so that I can correct them.
." Although Qian Delu was surprised, he still smiled.
Lin Jue smiled and said: "Okay, then I won't talk nonsense. In fact, I only found out about what I want to say last night. Last night, my servant and I passed by Xiaodongmen Square and found that hundreds of people had gathered there.
Everyone, after asking, you will know which members of the Qing Sect are preaching there..."
Qian Delu suddenly changed his expression, frowned and said, "So this is what Master Lin was talking about."
Lin Juedao: "Yes, that's exactly what happened. I had nothing to do, so I checked around and found out that these believers are teaching some nonsense. This matter should not be taken lightly. These people openly gather together to preach.
And the scale is huge, I wonder if Mr. Qian knows about it?"
Qian Delu's voice turned cold and he said in a deep voice: "Mr. Lin, I have known about this for a long time, but I'm afraid you have some misunderstandings. These Qing Sect members are not some messy believers, but a group of positive people who are doing good. Lin
You should not make arbitrary comments without investigation."
Lin Jue frowned and said: "Master Qian, you should listen to what they are preaching. That is not teaching people to be good. I suspect they have ulterior motives to confuse the people. Master Qian is a scholar, and you should know that there have been many cults and sects throughout the ages.
He deceives people's hearts and takes advantage of the ignorance of the people to achieve his own goals. What's more, he will take advantage of the chaos in the country to rob. Mr. Qian must not take it lightly."
Qian Delu's face had become extremely ugly. He stood up slowly and said: "Master Lin, you are not sent by the imperial court for official business. You are only here for private matters. Don't worry about these matters. Although Lin Zhuangyuan is eight Dou high,
, but he may not be proficient in everything. For example, when it comes to managing government affairs, Lord Lin may not be better than me. Even if Lord Lin is more capable than me, this Yingtian Mansion is under my rule, but not under your rule, Lord Lin.
Mr. Lin feels dissatisfied, and either goes to get evidence to challenge me, or waits until you come to Yingtian Mansion to be the chief official one day before making irresponsible remarks. Although you are a Beijing official and very famous, you can't do this.
Don't count others. I am not talented, but I was born as a first-class Jinshi. I have served the court for twenty years and I am where I am today."
Lin Jue was a little confused as to why Qian Delu suddenly changed his attitude. This was a bit unexpected. But after thinking about it, he understood. After all, he would be unhappy if he suddenly came to point fingers at him due to his identity.
"Master Qian, please don't be angry. I definitely don't want to point fingers at Master Qian's official affairs. I just saw such a situation and thought that Master Qian didn't know, so I came to inform you. I have no other intention." Lin Jue said with a cupped hand.
"Master Lin, I am not angry. I just feel that Master Lin is a little nosy. How can I not be clear about the things under my administration? Then am I just a mediocre official? Do you know how much those Qingjiao followers have done for me?
Is there anything about the stability of Yingtian Mansion? There was a severe drought some time ago, and the people of Yingtian Mansion suffered disaster. The court's relief did not arrive, and the situation was about to be chaotic. It was the Qingjiao believers who stepped forward to help the people. They did not even eat meat.
, who only eats green vegetables. Aren’t such people kind-hearted? Why do you want to slander them so much? Mr. Lin, this world is full of diversity and there are all kinds of people. You must be tolerant and don’t beat people to death for casually drawing conclusions.
.As far as I know, the Qingjiao educates the people and provides relief to all directions. I am the one who respects and worships the people of Tianfu. This has also made great contributions to the local security and stability. You just said that I am the one who makes the people of Tianfu live in peace and merchants prosper.
That must be considered as a contribution to the Qingjiao." Qian Delu said eloquently.
Lin Jue felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't explain what was wrong. It seemed that the Qian Zhifu said that the Qingjiao was not what he thought? But yesterday he heard with his own ears that they were preaching. It was completely incitement and deception.
And it has a tendency to be violent. That's why I felt that there was something wrong with it. But the Qingjiao that Qian Delu mentioned had a different look. I don't know what happened.
Lin Jue was thinking. Suddenly, the clanging sound of a copper bell came from outside. Lin Jue was startled. He didn't expect that there were bells ringing in the back house of the prefect's Yamen. This was not in a temple.
But as soon as the bell rang, Qian Delu immediately stood up and said: "Master Lin, I still have some important matters to deal with. If Master Lin has nothing else to do, it's just about the Qingjiao, then I can't stay with you longer."
Sir. Since Mr. Lin is going back to Beijing, I wish Mr. Lin a safe journey."
Lin felt extremely embarrassed. This was almost the same as being kicked out by Qian Delu. Qian Delu didn't give himself any face, and he was completely different from the polite person before. There was even a hint of harshness on his face.
color.
Lin Jue couldn't stay any longer, so he had to say goodbye. The guards sent Lin Jue out. When he was walking on the corridor, Lin Jue accidentally turned around and saw Qian Delu kneeling inside through the gap of the flower hall door.
In front of the picture with the words "The Greatest Holy Gong", his head was arched to the ground, his buttocks raised high, and he knelt down devoutly.
In an instant, Lin Jue suddenly understood. Qian Delu himself was a member of the Qing Jiao, and this moment was his prayer time. In this way, Qian Delu's previous change of attitude and maintenance of the Qing Jiao were instantly
It has become extremely reasonable.
Walking on the street, Lin Jue saw many people kneeling and kowtowing on the streets, under big trees, in front of shops, and even in carriages, looking like ghosts and ghosts. This made Lin Jue suddenly feel an inexplicable feeling.
Fear. These people should all be Qingjiao believers, and they are all praying for the so-called Holy Duke. Although the number of people is not large, Lin Jue can feel that it is spreading like a cancerous tumor. Even
All the officials in the imperial court have been infiltrated by it.
This is definitely not a good sign, but at this moment, Lin Jue has no choice. Lin Jue plans to inform Mr. Fang and Yan Zhengsu about the matter after returning to the capital, and listen to their opinions. Maybe there will be some solution.
