The generals and guards who were standing around Dugu Yun couldn't help shouting like a nest exploding: "Dong Yun!" "General Dong Lang" "Are you crazy!" "Quickly put it down...". On the contrary, Dugu Yun himself seemed unmoved and sighed: "Dongyun, I never thought it would be you!"
Because the person who drew the sword and held Dugu Yun hostage was clearly a middle-aged general who looked to be of high status, wearing a scarlet mountain armor and a rolled-edge ruffled bag. However, except for the arm holding the sword, Most of the body has become obviously lignified, and there are also large blue mottled areas on the face.
"How many years have you followed me since my father and brother generation, why have you ended up in this situation?" Dugu Yun sighed with a slight disappointment: "Is it because I don't reward enough in daily life, or do I not give enough preferential treatment? Or is it because the rewards and punishments are uneven? It will give you a different thought of associating with monsters."
"Your Majesty will naturally treat me kindly and kindly. You will treat me as your nephew since the crowning ceremony, and you will not treat me harshly at all. I will always bear in mind my humiliation." The general named Dong Yun said in a low voice: "It's a pity that the weather has changed, and the world has changed. Despite the turmoil, you still stick to the rules and are unwilling to make a difference."
"Seeing that you have ambitions and talents, you can only travel to Huaiyang for many years, and you haven't heard of the center being used for a long time. Therefore, I can only use my own body to help you, at least to find a way out for you. , this person is willing to do a lot of work for me, and he has cured me of the pain I have suffered for many years."
"That's ridiculous!" However, Dugu Yun interrupted him without hesitation, even though a bloody line was cut on his neck: "Isn't this your selfish desire to cause trouble, why do you use me as your assistant? Who are you? At that time, we hooked up with Ma Jin, who was patrolling the cauldron, and how did he get involved with the monster?"
"I have spent most of my life in glory. I have been loyal and selfless to the court, and I can't tell anyone anything about it. Now I am in the position of the Governor's Palace, sitting in the center of wealth in the southeast. It is not your turn to replace a mere general. I am looking for a way out. Dong Dongyun, you are extremely disappointing."
"Don't do it yet!" The next moment, Dugu Yun shouted to the left and right: "Are you going to let me spend all my fame on this lowly person?" However, the generals Ben and the guards on the left and right drew their weapons reflexively, but they looked at each other and dared not act.
"Old man, you are really not afraid of death!" Dong Yun was angered and said: He wrapped his other hand that had turned into a branch around Dugu Yun's body and squeezed hard, "Then I will...". Then, he suddenly screamed, his arms were broken at the base, and they fell to the ground.
"Do you think I have nothing?" Jiang Tian's eyes moved as the stream of light strangled Dong Yun's legs and feet again. Just as he was about to jump out, he suddenly screamed and rolled to the ground. Two expert team members immediately rushed over and used lamp branches to nail the scattered limbs on the ground, which seemed to have grown out of silk jackets, to the floor.
Then, another expert team member tore off a piece of curtain and wrapped Dong Yun's torso, which had stopped bleeding, head and head. Together with the remains of several other mutated guests who were not yet dead, they were quickly wrapped into one with quick eyesight and hands. A cocoon; pulled behind the curtain with ease.
"Thank you Jiang Xian for your help!" Dugu Yun, who got rid of the hostage, returned to the crowd of personal guards, solemnly thanked Jiang Xian and said, "I didn't expect that this person is so rampant that he has already reached out to me. After I approached, I must have In the Governor's Mansion, there are also many comrades."
"Next, I dare to ask Jiang Xian what he wants to do! I have Qingbo and Jingning troops under my command, and the garrison warriors of the eighteen towns in Huaiyang, but please give me your orders;" When he said this, he was also full of evil spirit. , glanced at the guests in the hall: "But if it is involved, we will never tolerate it."
"The governor really understands the cause of justice." Jiang Tian followed suit and complimented: In fact, according to his original plan, even if there was no reason for Su Shaoyin's assassination at the banquet, Jiang Tian would still find another reason to take advantage of the opportunity. Screening of guests present; but now it's much easier.
According to the imperial system, the governor was in charge of the soldiers and horses, armor and weapons, city gods, town garrison, and grain supply of various states, and was the general judge of government affairs. Except for the Yanbian Governor's and Protector's Offices, which managed the vassals, vassals, and princes, there were only five governor's offices in inland and key areas; Yangzhou Governor's was one of them.
The seven prefectures of Yang, Chu, Chang, Run, He, Xuan, and She under the jurisdiction of the post almost span the Huaidong and West Zhejiang provinces from the north to the south of the Yangtze River, covering the best areas along the southeast coast and the Cao River; Among the five governors in Lu, he was second only to the Governor's Mansion in Guangzhou and received the title of fourth rank.
Although similar to the responsibilities of the Jiedushi of the previous generation, in fact, the responsibilities other than guarding and managing troops have been greatly weakened; therefore, although the rank is above the three divisions and four envoys, there is no direct subordinate or controlling relationship. For example, the Transportation Department is directly under the Third Department of Envoys, and the Chief Envoy is connected to the Shangshu Province.
The Governor's Office is under the jurisdiction of the Privy Council system; it only has the power of impeachment for the three ministers and four envoys of its own department; and it has the special expediency of suspending incompetent officials to await punishment during wartime. Despite this, if we can get the full assistance of the Governor of Yangzhou and the Governor of Yangzhou, we will undoubtedly achieve half the result with half the effort.
Thinking of this, Jiang Tian took another meaningful look. The young Yin Su Wenyan, who was temporarily ignored and still looked pale, said: "Next, I would like to ask the governor to send some more capable and reliable people to coordinate with my subordinates. Erlang, the squads in the city are now busy."
"This is my duty, and I must spare no effort..." Su Yanwen, who seemed to be still in shock, responded a little distractedly at this moment: However, he quickly came to his senses the next moment; it turned out that this river patrol censor/yaoyi Have you already sent people to act secretly to seek arrest?
At the same time, in the villas and gardens by the Slender West Lake outside Yangzhou City; in the corner of the former residence of Xie An, a famous minister of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and now the Pudu Convenient Courtyard of Xingyan Temple, the Huayan Sect's dojo; hundreds of believers gathered there , with a face full of piety and intoxication, listening to the sermon on the Dharma platform.
But what the monk on the altar said was another specious version of the "Maitreya's Original Vow Sutra": "At that time, Maitreya made a great sound, announcing to all the saints in the heavens in the ten directions: Listen carefully, all these sinful people, Kuang Since this calamity, even if I have no clear nature, I have created the ten evil deeds. The six dusts are everywhere, and the three deeds are lingering..."
In the back hall of the court, hundreds of people gathered together, waiting for another routine secret ceremony. They come from three religions and nine streams and have different statuses, but most of them are heads of incense societies and guilds from all over Huaiyang, and each has a village and a township of believers under them.
Therefore, it also represents the main grassroots leaders and key members of the newly emerged Dayun Sect in Huaiyang in the name of Pure Land Lotus Sect. Although the strength of each individual was quite meager, the energy they brought together to exchange information and help each other was considerable.
This is why the Dayun Sect emerged as a mere local prostitute without official recognition, and escaped many attacks. Instead, it was able to expand its influence and followers; it even took over the dove's nest like a bird, and many families fell into ruin. , the temple has declined, and it has been reborn.
It is also because the style of obscene worship in Huaiyang has been particularly strong since ancient times. Although it has been attacked by the government and the Buddhist and Taoist people have cut down mountains and destroyed temples, a strong legacy still remains. Therefore, one of the three weird things in Huaiyang, the gods and Buddhas all over the sky, is used to describe this grand occasion in local folk customs.
Historically, Yangzhou has been known as "the common people believe in ghosts and gods and love to worship prostitutes"; therefore, during festivals and auspicious days, various wandering gods and street fighting gods are omnipresent on the streets, which has become a major sight in Yangzhou city. By the Tianbao period, there were more than 400 temples and temples in Guangling City alone.
And this is the number registered with the government. There are countless other nunneries and temples where people practice their own practice. Although it has been repeatedly destroyed and banned by officials and knowledgeable people, it still maintains a considerable scale. The Dayun Sect is just a branch of the Pure Land Lotus Sect that emerged among them.
Although it was once popular at the bottom of the countryside, it has never attracted the attention of the government; because in addition to the official temples, there are also more competitors from the local prostitutes competing for incense. But this confrontational situation was broken after the celestial changes a few years ago.
Like the Dayun Sect, which was completely reborn in a short period of time, it also seemed to be riding on the wind with divine help; relying on strange manifestations from time to time, and using talismans, elixirs, and special rituals to cure illnesses. Various methods of preventing disasters and avoiding epidemics instantly defeated most obscene priests.
They even occupied, subdued, and annexed many small and medium-sized temples through secret substitution, and turned them into new strongholds for the Dayun Sect's preaching. Therefore, for new believers and old believers, the benefit of joining the religion is to help each other in weddings, funerals, illness and poverty, and they are not easily deceived by wealthy people and officials.
But for the backbone of the sect, the biggest attraction is the talisman water and magical pills given regularly by the middle and upper levels of the sect according to the evaluation of their respective merits, demerits, rewards and punishments; among them, the talisman water for mirror cabinet prayer and orbital rituals , but everyone has the same confidence, and the magic pill is a reward.
But compared to most local beliefs, the Fu Dan provided by the religion is truly miraculous. Drinking the Fu Dan can make people feel refreshed and make them less likely to get sick for a long time. And after swallowing the magic elixir in accordance with the rituals, it can even get rid of long-standing diseases and old problems.
This alone is enough to make those dignitaries who have never seen the temple's holy temple secretly seek for it; this is also the secret development of Dayun Sect in recent years, which has opened the door to convenience. However, the quality of magical elixirs also varies from level to level.
The good deeds accumulated by believers can only be obtained by using the lowest quality elixir, which can barely maintain its effectiveness for several months or half a year. The legendary top-grade elixir is enough to make people look radiant, rejuvenate, and even make them look completely different; it is a secret treasure controlled by the sect.
Even some wealthy families may not be able to obtain one even if they give up all their belongings. Only those who have sacrificed their lives for the sake of the expansion of the sect and made great meritorious deeds can receive special rewards. Therefore, the heads of society and meetings who gathered this time have been looking forward to it for a long time.
However, the news announced by the preaching master this time surprised everyone. Because evil and evil were rampant in the court, a killer who could be called "Tai Sui of the time" was sent to Jianghuai. In order to preserve the fire of the sect, he ordered all the halls, altars, and clubs in Jianghuai to go into hibernation.
And one of the inconspicuous club leaders couldn't help but feel a thump in his heart. Because, he was the postmaster of Zhu Yuji, a boat station on the water. At the same time, he was also personally instructed by Su Yanwen, the governor of Yangzhou, and had hidden spies and spies who had been sneaking into the Dayun Sect for several years.
