Fang Jinzhi was waiting for Cao Bin to respond when suddenly Jiang Ping surrounded them with several guards.
Jiang Ping held the dental plaque and said:
"Girl, I am an official from Kaifeng Prefecture. I have committed a crime against you. Please come with us."
When Fang Jinzhi heard this, he looked confused at first, and then he stood up to resist.
She thought her identity was exposed.
Pang Qiuxia quickly held down her arm and asked:
"Master Chao, we are honest people and have not committed any crimes. Have you admitted the wrong person?"
Jiang Ping pointed at Cao Bin and smiled:
"Forgive me, miss. This is a report made by Lord Cao himself, saying that this girl seduced him and harmed the morals of the capital."
Even though Fang Jinzhi had been prepared, he didn't expect to get such an answer.
Hearing this suddenly, his mind was filled with black threads:
"I......"
Will I seduce him?
If I hadn't gotten close to him for revenge, I would have killed him right away.
She never expected that Cao Bin would act so unconventionally...
Moreover, she has an extraordinary appearance, and she attracted the attention of diners even when she did not take off her veil.
At this time, everyone became quiet when they heard that people from Kaifeng Mansion were arresting her.
Seeing all the diners in the restaurant looking at him strangely, Fang Jinzhi wanted to find a crack in the floor and crawl in.
Pang Qiuxia was also quite speechless. She did not expect that Cao Bin would come like this, so she hurriedly said:
"Is this a misunderstanding by Mr. Cao?"
Jiang Ping immediately said:
"We just saw with our own eyes that this girl sent a message to Uncle Cao. It can be said that the evidence is conclusive. Please don't embarrass us."
Hearing this, everyone in the Ming Cult felt even more ashamed, wishing they could dig out three bedrooms with their toes.
Pang Qiuxia was afraid that the rest of her companions would rise up, so she quickly winked at them and said:
"Well, it's not a big crime. We'll go with you."
At this time, the emperor, Cao Bin and others had already left. When the diners saw Jiang Ping escorting the Ming Cult members away, they immediately looked at each other.
One of them hesitated and said:
"Is Lord Cao here just now? Didn't I say anything outrageous just now?"
Someone said:
"It's okay, it's okay, there are so many of us, who does he know who said it?"
The merchant from the south of the Yangtze River was crying and did not dare to speak. He spoke the most exaggeratedly and had the most special accent.
Cao Bin must have remembered him.
Thinking of this, he didn't dare to say anything, and he didn't care about business anymore. He planned to take a boat back to his hometown today.
However, as soon as he walked out of the restaurant, his vision went dark, and he felt countless iron fists and black feet falling on him.
Being "ding-dong" and beaten up.
After an unknown amount of time, he carefully took off the sack on his head. When he saw that there was no trace of the assailant around, he breathed a sigh of relief and a look of relief appeared on his face.
Although his nose was bruised and his face was swollen, and he was grimacing in pain, he was in a good mood and sighed:
"Master Cao Hou is really broad-minded..."
Since he was beaten, it means that the matter is over, and he can do business with peace of mind.
Cao Bin and others first escorted the emperor back to the palace, and then returned to Zhongjing Marquis Mansion.
At this time, Pang Qiuxia had been escorted out alone.
Cao Bin saw her kneeling in front of him, took a sip of tea, and said calmly:
"Tell me about your progress."
He released the Pang Wanchun brothers and sisters so that they would cause trouble for the Manichaeans so that they would not always be watching him.
This kind of charlatan is the most difficult to deal with. The sky is high and the emperor is far away. Once they hide, even if the court issues a wanted order, it will be very effective.
Now that Pang Qiuxia is so submissive, she should not be out of control.
Pang Qiuxia quickly said:
"The White Lotus comes to the world to save all living beings, and the Holy Master is blessed."
"I and my brother returned to Jiangnan and secretly preached in Manichaeism."
"Today, thousands of believers have secretly joined the White Lotus Society and obeyed my brother and me."
Then she showed some resentment:
"It's just that there are many fools under the command of Shenggong Fangla, who abandon the great righteousness and insist on small righteousness."
After hearing this, Cao Bin also understood the general situation in Manichaeism.
It seems that not all of the Manichaeans followed Fang La because of their religious beliefs, but because of his personal charm, and most of these people had some abilities.
"However, we have already influenced the Holy Maiden of Manichaeism. With her preaching in the religion in the future, the development of the White Lotus Society will be much smoother."
Hearing Pang Qiuxia's words, Cao Bin was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that they were still capable of instigating the other side's saint to rebel.
So he asked: "Is that the golden branch girl?"
Pang Qiuxia nodded and said:
"Fang Jinzhi is the daughter of Shenggong. We came to Beijing this time because Fang La heard that the imperial court suffered heavy losses and wanted to find out the truth."
When Cao Bin heard this, his heart moved and he asked:
"Fang La is going to rebel?"
Pang Qiuxia said:
"Shenggong has always had this plan, and recently he has been in close contact with the governor of Runzhou."
Cao Bin did not expect that Fang La's hand had already reached Runzhou, and he should have had a comprehensive plan.
Jiangning and Runzhou are important towns on the Yangtze River. If Manichaeism takes over Jiangnan, as long as they hold on to these two places, they can rule across the river from the imperial court.
If he really succeeds, it will be difficult for the court to eliminate him.
Moreover, all the elite members of the imperial court had been lost. At this moment, they really could not spare any extra troops to go to the south of the Yangtze River.
Among Cao Bin's official positions were Zhenjiang Jiedu Envoy, Runzhou Governor, and Run and Ming Prefecture Observer Envoys. If Fang La occupied them, he would be nothing more than an observer.
Pang Qiuxia continued:
"Before we set off, Fang La was exploring the properties of the Zhongjing Marquis in Jiangnan. I hope the Holy Master will be cautious."
Cao Bin was speechless when he heard this, but this was also what he expected.
He was rich and had a grudge against Fang La. If he started to cause trouble, the first thing he would do would be to sweep away his own property.
After learning the details, Cao Bin waved his hand and said:
"You should go back to the cell first and continue to hide."
Pang Qiuxia hesitated and said: "Holy Master, when can we establish the Kingdom of God on Earth?"
When Cao Bin heard this, he immediately became serious and said:
"The most important thing for me now is to accumulate strength and wait for the arrival of the 'Red Sun Tribulation'. Manichaeism is just the precursor of the great tribulation, and my confidence cannot be shaken."
Pang Qiuxia immediately said:
"Saint Master, don't worry, believers don't dare."
She was deceived and brainwashed by Cao Bin's fragmentary White Lotus teachings. She was not loyal to Cao Bin himself, so she had to add more information and said:
"In three days, I will tell you about the Three Yang Tribulation..."
When Pang Qiuxia heard this, she immediately became excited and said:
"The Saint admires the Holy Master very much and has always wanted to meet her in person to ask for his teachings and whether the Holy Master can personally influence her."
In her opinion, even if Fang Jinzhi had a grudge against Cao Bin, he would still be influenced by him.
But Cao Bin knew his own affairs. He was very lucky to be able to brainwash the Pang brothers and sisters, and he also used physical means.
If Fang Jinzhi knew that the so-called Holy Master was her aunt-killing enemy, why not withdraw immediately?
But this person is of great use, so I have to find a way...
