Dusk, quiet.
In a large mansion, Qu You splashed ink and wrote ten characters on rice paper: "Kill officials to welcome troubled times, and Maitreya will emerge in troubled times." He admired the writing style and nodded with satisfaction.
The two people came over, stretched the rice paper into a banner, and showed it to everyone.
Qu You looked solemn and said to everyone in the courtyard: "Everyone, although the Ming Dynasty has been established, Maitreya has not yet come out. Zhu Yuanzhang is a mass murderer. When he is in the world, the sky and the earth are dark, and the sun and the moon have no light."
"Zhu Yuanzhang is a villain, and so are his descendants! We should be devoted to the lotus, risk our lives, and use our loyalty and blood to bring about a great change in this world! For brothers, for sisters, for future generations, and for thousands of living beings , let us kill officials and rebel, start a chaotic world, and welcome Maitreya!"
"Open the troubled times and welcome Maitreya!"
Everyone shouted in lowered voices.
At this time, Qiu Dalai received the news and whispered a few words to Qu You. After hearing this, Qu You solemnly said: "Tell everyone this good news."
Qiu Da looked at the crowd and shouted: "We are waiting for the people stationed in the county government to send news that there are countless people in the county government who have fainted from hunger and died, and only a few are strong enough to stand."
"Haha, have you seen it? The court is ignorant and corrupt, and officials are rampant. Now, it is up to us to save the world and bring these dying people into my red sun! The sun and moon will shine forever, and the lotus will bloom to welcome the Buddha!"
"The sun and moon will always shine, and the lotus will bloom to welcome the Buddha!"
Everyone shouted, blood spurted out, and the sound spread out of the house.
"Now, I order Jiuyue to lead two hundred people to seal the city gates and control Dingyuan City. No one is allowed to leave or enter! Wu Yuan and Qiu Dalai came with one hundred and fifty people each, divided into two. Road, break through the county government gate!"
Qu You looked up at the sky. Dusk had passed and the sky was dark.
Light was born in darkness, now darkness has come, light is not far away.
"Do it!"
Qu You shouted loudly.
Everyone obeyed the order and rushed out one after another, running in different directions.
Dingyuan County Government.
Tang Buping hurriedly walked into the lobby and reported to Yu Xin: "Sir, there is something going on in the city."
Yu Xin narrowed his eyes and said slowly: "What should come will always come. Open the door and let them come in."
Tang Buping hesitated and said, "But sir, we don't have enough manpower. Once they enter the office, the situation may be difficult to control."
Yu Xin raised his hand and said, "Follow the order."
Seeing this, Tang Buping had no choice but to retreat.
Huang Zicheng looked at the empty tea bowl, shook his head helplessly, and said easily: "It seems that the other party's original intention is not to make money, but to kill people. Mr. Yu Ge, whether we can return to the capital alive depends on you. ”
"More than thirty years after the founding of the Ming Dynasty, there are still undercurrents surging under the bright sky. I don't know what kind of force this person is."
Jing Qing said with some worry.
"If we meet once, we'll know."
Yu Xin said slowly.
In the Yamen courtyard, Li Laosan and Li Jiu, like many others, were lying on the ground crookedly.
"Old squad leader, what do you think these officials think? They insist on making us lie down every day. My back can't bear it."
Li Jiu muttered.
Li Laosan turned his head, glanced at Li Jiu who was rubbing his nose, and whispered: "Don't you usually like to sleep, and now you are asked to get enough sleep, are you not happy?"
Li Jiu said depressedly: "I like to sleep with my mother-in-law in my arms, but my mother-in-law is no longer in the city a long time ago. How can I sleep with you in my arms?"
"Fuck you, if you dare to touch me, I'll chop off your hand."
Li Laosan kicked Li Jiu.
"Did you hear that?"
Li Jiu suddenly became serious.
There were shouts of killing in the distance, and the sounds were getting closer and closer.
Li Laosan took a deep breath and gritted his teeth and said, "Are these the people who are rushing to buy food and make us hungry? It seems that the officials are right. Some people want to starve us to death."
Li Jiu touched the bag hidden behind his waist.
Stick, hehehe said: "The officials are good to us, so we can't let them down. Old squad leader, you fought in the war back then, so what, can you still fight?"
Li Laosan rolled his eyes at Li Jiu and said disdainfully: "You bully me? Believe it or not, even if I beat you ten times, it won't be a big deal. I think back then, in the Yuan Dynasty army, I was one against three thousand heroes."
"Yes, eight thousand of you went to fight three thousand, but seven thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine were lost. You were left alone to fight three thousand, one against three thousand. I know very well...otherwise, where would you be?" There is a chance to become a Red Army player."
"My Healing Game"
Li Jiu exposed Li Laosan.
Li Laosan was just about to fight back when he heard a commotion at the yamen gate. Soon someone ran in holding torches, steel knives, long spears, and daggers. He glanced at the refugees on the ground who could not move, and shouted: "Seize the imperial court." Officials, start the troubled times and welcome Maitreya!"
"This slogan?"
Li Laosan frowned, as if he had heard it somewhere.
Wu Yuan and Qiu Dalai led people into the county government lobby. In the lobby, there was only a seated cabinet minister, Yu Xin, and a standing security bureau chief, Tang Buping.
After seeing their men surrounding the two of them, Wu Yuan and Qiu Dalai slowly walked over.
Yu Xin held the tea bowl, looked at Wu Yuan calmly, and asked: "The food I asked you to prepare is all ready, right?"
Wu Yuan signaled Qiu Dalai to take some people to the back hall to arrest people, then dropped his crutches and walked vigorously, saying: "The magnanimity of the important ministers in the cabinet is extraordinary. Under such circumstances, he can still drink tea leisurely."
Yu Xin spit out a leaf of tea and said with a smile: "Tea can calm the mind and help resolve problems. I wonder if Mr. Wu can drink tea every day?"
"Yu Xin, don't pretend to be calm here. I'm telling you, this Dingyuan City is in my hands. You are nothing more than a turtle in my jar. Life and death are in my hands!"
Wu Yuan threatened sternly.
Yu Xin shook his head and said: "A turtle in an urn? Haha, if Dingyuan City is an urn, you are also in the urn. If the county government is an urn, you are also in the urn. As for who is the bastard, I am not sure yet."
"There's no one in the back hall."
Qiu Dalai came over, glanced at Yu Xin, and said to Wu Yuan: "Let me kill him! Then go after other officials!"
Wu Yuan shook his head and said: "He is an important official of the imperial court. We need to tie him to a pillar and send him to hell with fire in front of the people! Tie him up!"
"Let's see who dares!"
Yu Xin stood up and slammed the tea bowl.
Everyone around looked at Yu Xin's momentum and couldn't help but take two steps back.
Having been in a high position for a long time, his power is also powerful.
Yu Xin looked at everyone coldly and said sternly: "Now that the people are suffering from the disaster, you don't want to release food to save the people, but you want to use the name of the disaster to plot a rebellion! I think you don't want to live anymore!"
"Haha, what we are rebelling against is Daming! What are you doing here? Tie me up!"
Everyone came forward.
Tang Buping, the governor of the town, was about to draw his sword, but was forced to use a knife and fork, so he shouted: "I am also a high official of the imperial court."
"Tie them together. As soon as the sky breaks, light lotus flowers to welcome the light!"
Wu Yuan's eyes were filled with joy and he quickly ordered.
When Qiu Dalai saw the two people being arrested, he couldn't help but relax. He stepped forward and kicked Yu Xin and Tang Buping in the feet, and said viciously: "You want to eat food, bah! You people who are evil in the world are not worthy of eating red sun things!" "
Tang Buping looked at Qiu Dalai coldly, as if he were looking at a dead person.
"Mr. Wu, Huang Zicheng, Jing Qing, Mao Taiheng and others are not here. What should we do next?"
After Qiu Dalai finished venting, he asked for instructions.
"Dingyuan City has been sealed, and they can't escape. Since the matter is a foregone conclusion, let's arrange for people to take out the food, let us save the world, and let these people become our brothers and sisters."
Wu Yuan had a smile on his face.
Things went more smoothly than expected. Whether it was Wu Lu or the officials, they didn't even have the strength or courage to resist.
The wind of this world is Maitreya's smile.
Qu You received Wu Yuan, Jiu You
According to the report, Dingyuan City was easily captured, and the county government showed no resistance. Everything went extremely smoothly.
Yu Xin was arrested, which was his biggest gain.
As for Huang Zicheng, Jing Qing and others, they must be hiding out of fear. As long as they gather this group of refugees and search from house to house, it will not be difficult to catch them out.
Now, the overall situation has been decided!
Qu You walked out of the courtyard with confidence. Under the guard of more than ten people, he arrived outside the county government office. He looked coldly at Yu Xin and Tang Buping who were tied to the pillars. There were piles of firewood beside the pillars.
"Old Yuge, long time no see."
Qu You said softly.
Yu Xin raised his head, looked at Qu You, his pupils condensed slightly, and said in surprise: "Mr. Gujin is actually you? Qu You, Qu Zongji!"
Qu You laughed, his smile full of joy.
Yu Xin struggled, looking at Qu You in white clothes and hat in front of him, gritting his teeth with hatred.
Ten years ago, Qu You was an assistant teacher at the Imperial College, but his writing style was too colorful and explicit, which caused a lot of trouble. In the end, he was beaten up and kicked out by Song Ne, the imperial minister.
Yu Xin met Qu You in the Imperial College. Although he hadn't seen him for many years, his appearance remained the same, and Yu Xin recognized him at a glance.
"Mr. Gujin? Haha, I don't deserve this title. Now you are a fish and I am a swordsman. I advise you, if you don't want to die, then abandon the darkness and surrender to the light and submit to me."
Qu You solicited.
Yu Xin burst out laughing and said: "Abandoning the dark and turning to the bright? I am already a member of the Ming Dynasty, why should I turn to the bright again? It's easy for you to burn me to death, but don't forget that I still have many guards in Dingyuan City!"
"They've run away."
Qu You looked at Yu Xin with disdain and said: "The soldiers of the Ming Dynasty were so vulnerable that they fled in droves at the slightest movement. Such a Ming Dynasty is unpopular. Only those of us who carry white lotus and worship Maitreya can do it." Truly enjoy the light and bathe in the light of the red sun.”
"White Lotus, Maitreya?! White Lotus Sect! You joined the White Lotus Sect!"
At this moment, Yu Xin finally understood who his opponent was.
He is not a certain person, but a sect!
So it all makes sense.
"You will never understand the happiness of Bailianchi. Since you don't obey me, then prepare your last words."
Qu You said coldly.
Yu Xin lowered his head dejectedly and said, "No wonder you can control Dingyuan City, but I don't understand. If you are not Gujin, then who is Gujin?"
"Haha, how can Mr. Gujin's name be heard by a little scoundrel like you? Yu Xin, just open your eyes and watch. When there is a ray of light in the sky, you will see the people standing behind me, becoming Hongyang’s power will kill you, and we will seize Chuzhou and fight to Nanjing!”
Qu You shouted with a crazy look on his face.
In the distance, White Lotus believers brought out bags of grain, set up a large pot and began to cook porridge. Someone rushed the refugees to stand up and line up, and then shouted loudly: "Become a White Lotus and become my brother. Watch and help each other. You will be full, warm and happy..." …”
Li Laosan and Li Jiu used the sticks as crutches and lined up in the queue.
Li Jiu whispered: "Old squad leader, they have sent the food. When will we..."
Li Laosan glared at Li Jiu and said, "You can settle the accounts after you've eaten. You can't even tell the order?"
"But if we eat it, won't we become members of the White Lotus Sect?"
Li Jiu asked worriedly.
"Bah, this can't be the disaster relief food in the granary. What does eating rice from the imperial court have to do with them?"
"But they gave it back to the white hats?"
"So many of us have died. Isn't it appropriate to wear a white hat and mourn?"
Li Laosan looked at the cauldron and his stomach growled.
Qu You looked at more and more refugees wearing white hats and holding porridge bowls in their hands. The smile on his face became stronger. He turned to Yu Xin and said: "Zhu Yuanzhang was originally a White Lotus believer, but he betrayed the doctrine and banned the White Lotus. This country, It’s not worthy of the word ‘ming’!”
