Continuing walking on the country road, Zhang Jiao said: "Let's rest at the inn for the time being and visit the old man tomorrow."
His disciples looked at each other in astonishment, and one of them asked: "Master, this man was only the emperor's family minister when he was young. What's more, he is old and fatuous now, and his hearing and vision are unclear. Why do we have to visit him so many times?"
"Hahaha~~" Zhang Jiao suddenly laughed when he heard this and did not answer any more. Although the disciples did not get the answer, they stayed with Zhang Jiao and stayed with him. The disciples sent by Uncle Liu
The servants and servants also rushed to the inn. In Jiedu Pavilion, Uncle Liu's prestige was still very high. The inn officials arranged several rooms for these servants near Zhangjiao.
So that they can complete Uncle Liu's instructions.
After settling in with his disciples, Zhang Jiao sat alone in his dormitory, holding a scroll of bamboo slips and sighing helplessly. He studied under the Taiping Taoism in Hebei Province. In terms of fundamentals, they actually have the same origin as Zhang Heng's Huanglao Taoism. However,
Unlike Yizhou, Jizhou and Yanzhou were both close to the Han Dynasty. If Taiping Road wanted to prosper, it must obtain the support of the imperial court.
Zhang Heng and others can travel around Hanzhong County to preach at will, heal people and save lives, and spread their faith everywhere. This is because they are the local powerful people and have the support of local aristocratic families, and there is no interference from the government. Zhang Jiao
It is much harder for them, and they are not even qualified to travel and preach. In this era, if you want to go out, you need to check the transmission. If you don't have it, you will be caught by the officials along the way!
Zhang Jiao also dispersed his family property and rescued people everywhere. He gained the respect of the local people and was qualified to preach everywhere. He was recognized by the local officials. At this time, suddenly, the embroidered messengers from Jizhou and other places
There were more and more people. It was said that they were trying to maintain the safety of the canal that was about to be built. After they arrived, they quickly arrested hundreds of alchemists.
On the charge of defaming the emperor, he was taken directly to Xiuyi Prison, and he still doesn't know whether he is alive or dead.
Under the full suppression of the court, Zhang Jiao fell into a difficult situation. Moreover, his followers were decreasing day by day. When a disaster came, the court went all out to provide disaster relief, leaving him with no room for improvement. He even faced being arrested by the Embroidered Clothes Messenger.
At this time, Zhang Jiao suddenly figured out that instead of thinking about how to escape the court's arrest, it was better to join the court directly.
There were countless alchemists of the Han Dynasty who served the imperial court and served the emperor. In almost every prosperous age, the figures of alchemists would vaguely appear. Some of these alchemists were killed, some escaped, and some received a good death. Zhang
Jiao also had such expectations in his heart. With this expectation, he came to Luoyang and wanted to meet the emperor. However, he only had some reputation in a small area of Hebei.
In Luoyang, he is nothing.
He requested several times, but the soldiers guarding the city gate did not even respond. He even contacted the eunuchs in the palace, because these eunuchs were more greedy for money. If he could use money to see the emperor, he would be willing to do so, but
, he never expected that none of the eunuchs in the palace would dare to accept bribes. He did not expect that he was not the only one who was afraid of the embroidered messenger.
With Zhang He watching eagerly, these Huangmen dare not accept any bribes. Zhang He has obtained the true inheritance of Yang Qiu, and now his reputation for cruelty and cruelty is even comparable to that of Yang Qiu!
Zhang Jiao was not seen for several times, but in desperation, he finally came to Jiedu Pavilion. He knew that this old man could definitely help Zhang Jiao. Today, the emperor is a benevolent and righteous king, and for this family member who served him since childhood
Zai, he must also be loving. If he can get on this boat, his ambition to preach to the world will be successful.
At night, quietly, outside the inn, several men in black gathered quietly. They looked at each other and slowly came to the house where Zhang Jiao was. They obviously had premeditated plans and slowly pulled out
With the sharp sword at his waist, he started to move.
The next day, Zhang Jiao woke up early. Without disturbing the rest of his disciples, he walked outside the house, ate, and then took the Taoist scriptures and started reading.
Looking at him with a smile, he asked: "How was your rest yesterday?" Zhang Jiao thanked him gently: "Very good, thank you for the hospitality!" The old official smiled and began to tidy up the courtyard.
He also got up to help.
But they were rejected by the old official. Zhang Jiao's disciples woke up one by one. However, it was almost noon, but there were still two people who did not come out of the house. This made Zhang Jiao's other disciples a little angry, as well as Zhang Jiao's biological brother.
Zhang Bao, one of the disciples, got up and walked towards the house of the two people. Zhang Jiao did not organize himself. In just a moment, they heard Zhang Bao's exclamation!
Several people stood up immediately and ran over, with Zhang Jiao following behind them.
Zhang Bao stared at the room dumbfounded. As soon as the other people approached, they smelled the pungent smell of blood. After the door was opened, the smell of blood rushed out and almost made Zhang Bao faint. Zhang Jiao quickly squeezed in.
I went in and looked over. There was a pool of blood inside the house. The blood had solidified and turned pitch black. But the strange thing was that there were no bodies on the ground.
The room was empty, with only blood on the floor. Zhang Jiao and many disciples quickly went in and searched everywhere, but there was no one in the room. Zhang Bao looked at the room with some horror, stood up, and said tremblingly:
"That's what it was like when I came in! They were killed! They were killed!" Zhang Jiao turned his head and said sternly: "Go and report to the official immediately!"
The disciples rushed out quickly. Zhang Jiao looked at the pool of blood and was speechless for a long time. Yesterday, Zhang Jiao didn't sleep that well. There was a pool of blood on the ground here, but he didn't hear any sounds of fighting and howling. He thought.
It was a little scary to get up, but the old man at the post station beside him was already trembling with fear and completely speechless.
After a while, a large number of watchmen rushed to the post station. This was the former residence of the Emperor. There were many watchmen who stayed behind, and they were also relatively elite. Dozens of watchmen rushed here. After hearing the narrative of Zhang Jiao and others,
After that, he immediately reported it to the county officials. For a while, the capital of Hejian Kingdom was shaken again. Two people were killed. It was not a big deal, but if it happened in Jiedu Pavilion, it would be a big deal!
The county officials have not yet arrived, but the trembling Uncle Liu arrived here with the support of a dark-skinned domestic slave. When they saw this man, many of the guards also hurriedly saluted, not only because of his age, but also because of his age.
Because of his identity, Uncle Liu walked in and ignored everyone's salutes. He quickly asked: "What happened here? Who was murdered?"
Zhang Jiao stood up and said a little lonely: "They are my disciples. The two disciples are missing. There are only some blood stains on the ground..." He pointed to the house and said. Liu Bo quickly walked into the house and looked around.
His whole body trembled with anger and his face turned red. He gritted his teeth and yelled viciously: "Bold maniac, bold maniac, how dare you commit murder here!!"
