As soon as the squad leader's words came out, not to mention Guisheng's heart skipped a beat, Sun Yuan's expression also changed suddenly. He hurriedly raised his foot and stubbed out half of the cigarette on the sole of his boot. He suddenly stood up and said, "Where is he?"
The squad leader said: "I saw that his clothes were quite shabby, so I put him in the concierge. It's warm there and someone is watching him."
"Let's go! I want to ask myself."
Guisheng stood up and said, "Platoon Leader Sun, I'll go and listen too."
Sun Yuan got what he asked for, and quickly smiled and complimented: "With Chief Shen taking action, those Xiao Xiaotian nets will not be able to escape!"
Four years ago, the Beihai Town Public Security Police Department and the Intelligence Bureau jointly conducted routine screening of half a million new immigrants from Zhili, Hubei and Sichuan. The purpose is to initially establish a family-based immigration file. Because there are so many people, it will take up to a year.
Unexpectedly, during this process, Duan Wenjing, a key member of the Zhili Bagua Cult who had been wanted for many years by the Qing government, was discovered. After interrogation, Duan Wenjing confessed that he had developed more than a dozen party members among the immigrants from Zhili, and also told the story of his participation in the Bagua Cult.
It was from that time that this private secret sect, which had the largest system and the most changes in the history of the Qing Dynasty, finally surfaced and became the focus of the Public Security Police Department and the Intelligence Bureau.
In the early winter of 1790, as the "Battle of Usoliya" came to an end, Beihai Town launched a large-scale anti-cult propaganda campaign. From the army to factories, from schools to residential communities, in addition to loudspeakers speaking every day, there were also weekly meetings to study and discuss, and it was not until the spring of the next year that it came to an end.
Sun Yuan had just finished recruit training at that time and was assigned to the Whale Town garrison camp. He was only happy for two days when the review began. Because he fled from Shangqiu, Henan, which is the secret base camp of the "Li Gua Sect", a branch of the Bagua Sect. He was interrogated by the political workers of the regiment for a whole day, which almost broke him.
At that time, many people in the Chuangzhong community did not understand this approach and thought it was making a mountain out of a molehill. Those people felt that the "civilian anti-Qing organizations" of this era could be won over and forced to change their ways through guidance or coercion. Even if it doesn't work, it's still good to use it as a chamber pot.
In order to reach a unified understanding among the time travel members and let everyone understand the dangers of the Bagua Sect and other White Lotus Sects, Zhao Xin took advantage of the time when everyone got together before going home for the Spring Festival and held a tea party to discuss the situation with detailed information and facts. Taught everyone a lesson.
When the time travelers saw the materials of Duan Wenjing's confession and listened to Zhao Xin's explanation, they realized that the Qing Dynasty in the 17th century already had a large-scale fraud group that was not inferior to modern times, and it was also a standard pyramid to pull people's heads. model. It’s just that the product they sell is called “faith”!
In the early years of Kangxi's reign, Liu Zuochen of Shanxian County, Shandong Province, took "Five Women's Preaching" as a treasure scroll, drew on the "teaching hierarchy" of Wenxiang Sect, and founded Shuoyuan Sect, the predecessor of Bagua Sect. Although the original name was not called Bagua Cult, the organizational structure came from the "Bagua Diagram", which means "nine palaces are built inside and the Bagua is built outside."
In addition to the chief leader who claims to be "the leader of the Nine Palaces of Zhongyuan", the eight sects of "Qian, Kan, Gen, Zhen, Xun, Li, Kun, and Dui" all have hexagram masters, and the family hereditary system is implemented. Under the palm hexagram, there are six lines, namely, the real person who opens the way, the real person who blocks the way, the general flowing water, the flowing water, the ignition, and the full official.
Once you reach the level of full official, you can open a monastery and accept disciples, and when you reach the official level, you can make independent calculations. When you become a real person, you have financial power, and you can also rule on all affairs within a certain region. You have the power of life and death, and you can be granted religious positions.
Under Quanshi, there are also teaching positions with different divisions of labor such as Chuanshi, Maishi, and Qiushi. If you want to upgrade, in addition to constantly donating money, you also need to look at "merit". The size of the "merit" depends on the number of apprentices recruited, that is, whoever has more disciples will have a higher level.
When Shuoyuanjiao was founded, there were only a few followers. The earliest hexagrams established at that time were Li Gua and Zhen Gua; the former was hereditary from the Gao family in Shangqiu, Henan, and the latter was hereditary from the Hou family in Jinxiang, Shandong. Later, there was a Wang family in Heze. , competing with the Hou family and taking charge together.
Later, Kan Gua, Gen Gua, Xun Gua, Qian Gua, and Dui Gua were established one after another, thus forming a huge sect extending from Zhili Dongming in the north, to Dingxiang in Shanxi in the west, to Heze in Shandong in the south, and to Qufu in the east. Underground network.
In the middle of Qianlong's reign, Shuoyuanjiao was renamed Qingshuijiao. For more than a hundred years, no one knew the inside story of the Bagua Sect. This huge "ancient fraud group" has been controlled by large and small hereditary missionary families. Each of their families was a big local landowner, with huge wealth and dozens of acres of land. Their servants, long-term workers, and tenants were all disciples, ranging from hundreds to thousands.
In the thirty-seventh year of Qianlong's reign, due to the exposure of Wang Zhong, the leader of the Zhen Gua Sect, the Liu family, which had inherited six generations of hereditary leaders, was discovered by the Qing court and almost wiped out.
In the 39th year of Qianlong's reign, the "Qingshui Rebellion" broke out in Shandong. Its leader Wang Lun came from the Heze Wang family in charge of the Zhen Gua Sect.
At that time, the direct descendants of the Liu family were either exiled or enslaved by armored men. The only one who slipped through the net hid in Xinjiang, so the most powerful Wang family of the Zhen Gua sect became the acting leader of the nine palaces and eight sects.
Those believers who participated in the rebellion called Wang Lun "Master Wang of Dongfang Zhen Palace" or "Master Houtian Wang". You must know that in the Bagua Sect, the only person who can be called "a certain master the day after tomorrow" is the leader.
As for the "Tianli Sect's attack on the Forbidden City" incident that occurred in the twelfth year of Jiaqing in another time and space, it was jointly planned by Lin Qing, who was in charge of Kan Gua Sect, Li Wencheng, the leader of Zhen Gua Sect, and Feng Keshan, the "Principal Master" of Li Gua. The reason why the leader of the Zhen Gua Sect has changed again is because the Heze Wang family and the Jinxiang Hou family have been exterminated by the Qing court.
In addition, there is the Gao family of the Li Gua sect, which has been passed down for two hundred years and has always been quite mysterious. During the Taiping Rebellion, the Gao family who was entrenched in Shangqiu finally couldn't bear the loneliness and ended up being lonely, and all their hall masters joined the Nian Army one after another. And the Gao family themselves even set up a flag in Jinlou Village in Shangqiu to proclaim themselves king. At that time, the Qing Dynasty's Nanyang Town Commander-in-Chief led a large army that could not attack for a long time. In the end, Seng Gelinqin had to take action and attacked continuously for more than two months before taking it. After the stronghold was broken, the entire Gao family was killed, and the Li Gua branch was cut off.
Finally, there is the "Yiguandao" who followed Chang Kaishen to the island of Taiwan. Its founding leader Wang Jueyi is a side descendant of the Wang family of the Zhengua Sect. The early Yiguandao was also called Momoyichujiao and Yiguandao, and the person they worshiped was Wusheng Laomu.
The reason why these guys started to rebel and kill officials every ten or twenty years was not to find a way for the poor people at the bottom, but to pretend to be gods for so long that they thought they had really become "gods". As a result, their ambitions grew. They were not satisfied with being just the leader of a cult, and they dreamed of becoming emperors one after another.
Zhao Xin finally told everyone that since the Qing Dynasty, any peasant movement in North China was inseparable from the influence of the Bagua Sect, which can be called the source of turmoil. Even the "Red Spear Society" in Shandong during the Republic of China was inseparable from the Bagua Cult.
Therefore, we cannot attach too much importance to such a secret sect that can bring disaster to Jin, Hebei, Lu, and Henan for three hundred years in another time and space!
Since then, Beihai Town has held an anti-cult publicity and study month every winter, and no one within the Chuangzhong has mentioned such things as recruitment or being a chamber pot.
Soon, Guisheng and Sun Yuan met the whistleblower in the duty room at the entrance of the Yicheng Office. This man's name is Fu Bao. He is thirty-two years old. He is short, black and lean. He is wearing a patched cotton robe that is old and dirty. On the square face that was chapped by the wind, there was a pair of small eyes like pepper beans, which kept spinning.
Sun Yuan did not sit down after entering the room. He looked Fu Bao up and down and asked in a rough voice: "Is your name Fu Bao?"
"That's exactly what the villain is."
The squad leader on the side reminded: "This is our platoon leader. This is Chief Shen, from the Guangning City Military Control Commission."
When Fu Bao heard this, he hurriedly dusted off his sleeves with both hands, followed by a quick flick, then bent his left leg forward and his right leg backward, put his left hand on his knee, leaned his head and upper body slightly forward, and said: "Little I would like to pay my respects to you two adults!"
"Definitely! I'm very safe!" Sun Yuan waved his hands with disgust, turned around and sat on the fire kang, and said: "Didn't you read the notices posted before? There will be no such rules in the future!"
"Yes! Isn't it strange that I want to give gifts to many people?" Fu Bao straightened up in a sullen voice.
"Tell me, where did you hear that the Bagua Cult is going to open a altar in Kaoshantun?"
"Sir, it's a friend I met in Guangning City before. That person's name is Yongtai, the one with the white flag."
According to what Fu Bao said, his mother fell ill in autumn. Her whole body ached so much that it was difficult to get off the ground. She even took more than ten medicines in a row but she was not getting better. When he was worried, Yongtai didn't know where he heard about this, and he actually came to Fubao's house yesterday carrying a bag of snacks. He said he was visiting the old lady, but as we were chatting, he mentioned that Kaoshantun was going to open a teaching monastery. As long as you kowtow to three cups of water and donate some money, you can teach a kind of mental method called "Bao Gong" and practice it on time every morning, afternoon and evening, which can cure all diseases.
"The villain has studied at the Free School in Guangning City for several years. He once heard an archery instructor talk about the annihilation of Wang Lun. Therefore, the villain guessed that it was a secret gathering of the Bagua Cult."
There were two main types of education for bannermen in the Shengjing area during the Qing Dynasty, one was official education and the other was free education. Due to the limited enrollment of the former, it was unable to meet the needs of the Eight Banners children in the Shengjing area. Therefore, a volunteer school was established during the Yongzheng period, mainly recruiting those from poor families who were unable to recruit teachers.
Sun Yuan was about to ask again when Guisheng, who was sitting across from the kang table, suddenly raised his hand to stop and asked, "What is the name of the archery instructor you mentioned?"
Fu Bao raised his eyes to look at Guisheng, then lowered his head and replied: "He is a Mongolian. His name is too difficult to pronounce, so I can't remember it clearly."
"At what age did you enter volunteer school?"
"Ten years old."
"Yes." Guisheng nodded slightly and continued to ask: "So before the Beihai Navy came, what was your position as an official in Luji Yamen?"
"The villain is just a vest."
"People who haven't studied can just be a vest. How come you, a volunteer student, are still a vest after all these years?"
"This is me." Fu Bao didn't expect that the young Lord Bei Haijun in front of him would actually ask this, and he didn't know how to answer for a moment.
At this time, Guisheng said unhurriedly: "You were able to study in a free school when you were young, so you must be a talented person. But now you are over thirty, and you are not even a knight riding school. How to explain? You taught more than twenty years ago Isn't it strange that you remember a few gossips about me, but you forgot the name of your teacher?"
"I have been running around in Guan Nei for many years, and I have also learned some fortune-telling skills from people. Fubao, I have been observing you from the time I entered the door to now. Your eyes are dull and lifeless, your eyes are wandering, your nose is short, and your mountain roots are Your sunken nose, wide and exposed nose, all these things indicate that you are a good gambler. Really or not?"
Fu Bao's expression changed drastically due to Guisheng's series of questions, and the corners of his mouth trembled visibly.
"boom!"
Sun Yuan slapped his hand on the kang table, glared at Fu Bao and threatened: "Grandma Xie! Tell me! What's going on! If you don't tell me, I will immediately have you taken to the field and shot! By then, your head will be beaten to pieces. Let your mother-in-law pay five cents for the bullets!"
Fu Bao was so frightened that he collapsed on the ground and cried for mercy: "I said, I said."
It's true that he dared to make a false guess, but this guy is also a bad gambler.
Didn't Sun Yuan say before that gambling has been booming in the Shengjing area in recent years, and many bannermen have lost everything because of the losses, and Fu Bao is no exception.
Five years ago, he was a member of the Sixth Grade Xiao Riding School of the Guangning City garrison. However, because he owed more than a thousand taels of silver to the casino, he collaborated with others to secretly resell Changbai Mountain ginseng. Because he was eager to repay his debts and was too greedy, he offended Song Chun, the then Shengjing general. As a result, he was found guilty and lost his official position, and became the lowest-level vest in Luji Yamen.
The man named Yongtai came to his house the day before yesterday not to visit his sick mother, but to collect gambling debts. The more than 20 acres of flag land allocated by Fu Bao were sold. After the Beihai navy came, they lost their jobs and had no money to pay back.
Yongtai saw that his house was bare and his mother was bedridden, so he knew that he could not squeeze out any money. After some deliberation, he was asked to attend the opening ceremony in Kaoshantun tonight, saying that as long as he joined the association, he would be one of his own, and the gambling debts would be easy to discuss. If you can help attract people to join the club, you can still get benefits.
Fu Bao had read a book and had been a sixth-grade official. He knew that opening an altar and joining a guild were forbidden by all dynasties. However, he didn't dare to say no at that time, so he had no choice but to agree, thinking that it would take one day to delay. As a result, after Yongtai left, he thought about it carefully and had other thoughts.
If he went to report to the Beihai Navy, and then the Beihai Navy arrested Yongtai and his creditors, wouldn't the gambling debt he owed be written off in one go? Maybe you can even get a reward.
Okay, after listening to Fu Bao's explanation, Sun Yuan's nose almost became angry. She thought that if it weren't for Chief Shen, she would have been fooled by this bastard.
Thinking of this, he looked at Guisheng with a little more admiration. No wonder he is a captain at such a young age, he has real abilities!
Guisheng asked again: "When will the altar open in the evening? Where will it be located? How many people will participate?"
Fu Bao said: "It is said to be Haizheng. Someone picked him up at the entrance of the village. The local villain really doesn't know. The number of people. Yongtai said there are more than forty people."
When Sun Yuan heard that there were more than forty people, he thought that this was going to be troublesome. There are about a hundred households in Kaoshan Village. If you want to catch them all, the entire village must be surrounded. In addition, someone must enter the village to search and arrest people. Based on this calculation, there will be at least one more company.
Although there were 200 armored soldiers from the Manqing Luji Yamen in Xiaoheishan Station, he really didn't dare to use them. What if there were accomplices inside?
Thinking of this, he looked at Guisheng and said, "Sir Shen, I only have one platoon of troops. Look."
Guisheng pondered for a moment and said: "I have a mission now and can't leave. In this way, I will write a letter and you and I will sign it together. You can arrange for two more people to ride on horseback and deliver it to Commander Zhou in Guangning. Thirty miles away , why are you here before dinner?"
Sun Yuan was overjoyed when he heard this.
