Lin Jue frowned and said, "Then let me ask Servant Luo, in your mind, are you still a citizen of the Great Zhou Dynasty?"
Luo Wenyi said in a deep voice: "Of course we are the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty, but we are also believers of the Holy Gong and brothers and sisters of the Qing Sect. Luo knows what you are going to say. It is nothing more than saying that since we are the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty, we must abide by the laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
That’s right. But we are Qingjiao believers, so naturally we must abide by the teachings.”
Lin Jue nodded slowly and said: "I understand. But what do you want to do by surrounding us here today?"
Luo Wenyi lifted up his black robe and said in a deep voice: "It's very simple. If you arrest our people, you have to release them. If you kill our people, you have to pay with your life. Otherwise, our Qingjiao brothers and sisters will not agree. Don't you think so?"
"
Luo Wenyi turned around and raised his arms and shouted to the dark crowd of believers.
"Yes, let him go and pay with his life, otherwise we will never agree." The members of the Qing Sect shouted. Luo Wenyi waved his hand, and the members stopped shouting.
Lin Jue frowned and lowered his voice: "Luo Jiaopu, let me ask you, do your Qingjiao want to rebel today? If you want to rebel, then it is useless for me to say anything. I tell you the truth, if you
If there is a rebellion, I will immediately spread the news. The troops from the capital will arrive in a few days. I won’t bother you anymore and will directly deal with the rebellion. One by one, all the Qing Cultists will be killed. Do you think it’s just you?
Can people like the Qingjiao withstand the elite army of the capital's imperial guards?"
Luo Wenyi smiled and said: "Who are you scaring? Now that you are all surrounded by us, how can you still report to the capital?"
Lin Jue smiled and said: "Luo Jiaopu doesn't think that you have to rush out to deliver the letter. When I was in the capital, I learned that this place is dangerous. All the people in my yamen were detained by you. It shows how audacious you are. Can I have it?"
Preparations? I brought three pairs of carrier pigeons with me just to send messages to the capital. As long as I give an order, the capital will get the news here in half a day. The reason why I haven't done this yet is that I haven't figured out what you are doing yet.
What are you going to do? If it were just a siege out of anger, I, Lin, would not escalate the situation."
Luo Wenyi frowned and said nothing, but what the other party said was true. If the message was sent by carrier pigeon, the capital could get the news in half a day.
"If you do that, when the officers and soldiers come, all of you will be shattered to pieces. As long as I give an order, you will be torn to pieces." Luo Wenyi said coldly.
Lin Jue laughed and said: "I understand, so I didn't do that, and Master Luo wasn't too impulsive. This shows that we are all sensible. No one wants to cause a big disaster and lose his life.
You Qingjiao are preaching everywhere, and your leader Shenggong is afraid and does not want to become a thorn in the court's side. If you cause trouble here, you will immediately be regarded as a rebel by the court. In that case, it will be a matter of time before the Qingjiao is banned. Your Shenggong
I don’t want to see this either. After all, it took a lot of effort to create such a large sect. If it collapses overnight, all the hard work will be in vain.”
Lin Jue's words touched Luo Wenyi's heart. Not that what Lin Jue said was entirely right. As a close confidant of the Qingjiao, Luo Wenyi knew Sheng Gong's purpose. But at this moment, everything was not ready. Sheng Gong also said that the main purpose now is
Gather strength and be prepared. Once launched, it will be thunderous and unstoppable. Alarming the court to suppress it at this moment is indeed a major event that has ruined the Holy Duke. The Holy Duke will definitely not let himself go lightly.
"How about it? Let's talk about the conditions. I won't escalate the situation, and you can't go too far. As far as I know, your youth education has done a lot of good things, and I have no ill intentions towards you. If you hadn't been violent this time
Those who resisted our arrest of prisoners and detained our Yamen police officers would never be like this. I don’t understand the teachings of your Qingjiao religion, but if you want to put your teachings above the national law, you are making things difficult for us officials, so that we can’t
When laws and regulations come into conflict, conflicts are inevitable." Lin Jue saw his hesitation and whispered again.
Luo Wenyi said coldly: "At this point, what is there to talk about? We have let your people go, but you still want to mess with us. Not only that, but you also killed our brothers. How to settle this account?
Even if I am willing to let you go, these members of the congregation will not. Our Qingjiao promised to protect each of them, but now I am letting you go freely. How can I explain to them? You can talk to them if you want. Let the couple go.
Hand over the murderer and we will let the others go. This is fair, isn't it?"
Lin Jue spread his hands and said: "If you talk like this, then we can't talk anymore. If I can't catch the criminal and return to the capital, how should I answer when my boss asks me? Say I'm incompetent? All the people I brought here are from the capital.
Can I hide the murderer who killed you when I returned to the capital? Besides, what will happen if the people are handed over to you? Do you have to kill them to pay for it? How is that different from rebellion? Doesn't the imperial court have to send troops to encircle and suppress you?
You're going back and forth, so what are you talking about?"
Luo Wenyi shouted: "Are you still planning to let us stop here and let you leave in a big way? Do your dream. You killed our people, and can you just leave like this? How can I explain to the congregation?"
Lin Jue said seriously: "Servant Luo, first of all, we have no choice but to kill people. You yourself also understand that your people actually carry weapons and bows and arrows, which is tantamount to rebellion. In addition, there are many people and we are powerful.
We have to do it. Secondly, if we killed your people, didn't you also kill ours? Two of our government officials were shot dead by you, and two others were seriously injured. How will this account be settled? Get it
On the surface, if we kill your people, it is because you are gathering in riot, but if you kill our people, it is an attempt to rebel against the government, which is completely different in nature. I am also very sorry that such a thing happened, but if you hold on to
If you don’t let go of these things, there will be no end to the matter.”
Luo Wenyi frowned and said: "You mean, everyone is even?"
Lin Jue said: "Master Luo, we will comfort and comfort my brother who has died. I can also give you some silver to compensate for the burial of someone who died on your side. You must come forward to persuade this matter before it can be settled. Don't.
Tell me you don't even have this bit of prestige. Don't you, the Qing Sect, have a teaching that says that after death, people can enter the Yunxiao Temple to enjoy eternal bliss? You can tell them that these dead people have already entered the Yunxiao Temple to enjoy blessings.
In short, use your Qingjiao methods, if you can't even deal with these believers, I will look down on your Qingjiao."
Luo Wenyi said coldly: "Master Lin is very familiar with the teachings of our Qing Sect."
Lin Jue chuckled, took out the picture with the largest calligraphy of Shenggong and whispered in a low voice: "To be honest with Luo Cultivator, I am really interested in your Qingjiao, and I am carefully considering whether to join your Qingjiao.
Look at your formation, I will have someone to rely on if I join you. That's all. Just the fact that there are seventy-two virgins waiting after death makes me itchy. Maybe one day I will come to you and ask for help.
Join your sect."
Bai Bing rolled her eyes, knowing that her husband was fooling him, but he was not very happy either.
Luo Wenyi was doubtful. He was not a fool. But now the Holy Duke has given instructions to vigorously develop the church among the officials and the army. The role of these people is much greater than that of ordinary people in the countryside. This Lord Lin is an official in the capital.
If he can be developed to join the Qingjiao, it will be a great achievement. If the Qingjiao can penetrate into the capital and bloom everywhere, it will be of great benefit in the future.
"If Mr. Lin joins the Qing Sect, he will be named one of the Heavenly Dragon Protectors of our Qing Sect. I think Mr. Lin is a promising young man and will definitely show his talents in the Qing Sect." Luo Wenyi said.
Lin Jue smiled and said: "So, you can't make it too difficult for me. Today's misunderstanding can be regarded as a mutual understanding. In this way, you are responsible for convincing the people on your side, and I am responsible for convincing the people on my side. Let's talk about it.
Stop it. I'll take that couple to the capital for business. Don't say anything hard to explain. We are all sensible people, and sacrificing two ordinary believers is nothing. Could it be them, and it would ruin the overall situation?
?”
Luo Wenyi's thoughts flashed, and Lin Jue's words were actually very true. As a senior member of the Youth Sect, Luo Wenyi did not regard these members as treasures in his eyes. The reason why he made such a gesture today was to unite people's hearts. But
If he really ruined the overall situation for the sake of ordinary believers, he would never agree to it. The lives of these people are actually not valuable, and they can be completely ignored at critical moments.
"Master Lin, please don't lie to me. I, Luo Wenyi, hate others lying to me the most. You swear an oath, if we let you leave, you will not use this as an excuse to send troops here. We will still keep our peace.
River water. Otherwise, you can hide in the ends of the earth, and we can take your life. I, the Holy Duke of the Qing Sect, have ten heavenly dragons to protect me, and I have the power to penetrate the heavens and the earth. Killing a few people is not a problem." Luo Wenyi said solemnly.
Lin Jue chuckled and said: "Master Luo, don't worry, it's no big deal if I swear a poisonous oath. But in fact, you and I both know the oath. It's all nonsense. It's just to fool people. The key is to look at actions.
Do you know what this thing in my waist is? This is a firearm. You have also seen its power. If I were not sincere, I would have killed you long ago. Why are you talking so much here? And the person next to me
, is my wife, with great martial arts skills. Ten thousand troops take human heads from them like picking out objects from a bag. If I ordered her to capture you and take you as a hostage, we would naturally be able to escape. But I did not do that. These actions are mine.
Sincerity.”
Luo Wenyi sneered and said nothing.
Lin Jue said: "You don't believe it? Bing'er, show him your hand."
When Bai Bing heard this, he reached out and picked up two pebbles that had burst from the stone beasts and clasped them in his hands. His eyes searched for the target. His eyes fell on Luo Wenyi.
Lin Jue hurriedly said: "Don't hurt Jiaoshi Luo. There are two bold birds under the eaves. You shoot them down."
There are indeed two bold sparrows under the eaves. On such occasions, they dare to stay on the crossbar, curiously poking their heads to look at the bustling humans below.
Bai Bing looked at the two sparrows, but dropped the pebbles.
