The Little White Lotus Sect is one of the most influential cults in Pingjiang. There are more than 3,000 believers. These 3,000 believers are both male and female, but most of them are poor people, and they don’t even have rich families. This has an advantage. , that is, the people at the top of the sect actually don't receive much worship, and it's probably too much to eat, drink, and drink, but it's impossible to buy weapons and raise soldiers.
It takes a huge amount of money to raise soldiers, even if it raises a few hundred people, the amount of money and food consumed is not a small number.
After all, people who are willing to trade their lives for their futures will only enter if they see the benefits. Even if they arrest people in the military camp, if others want to run, they can always find an opportunity to run.
What I fear most is not to run, but to unite a group of soldiers, and instead put them in a dilemma.
Wu Changqing is very proud of the spring breeze recently. He used to be a county official, but he was transferred to Pingjiang and became the district head.
How can you be unhappy with such a joy as being promoted and making a fortune
Only now did he know what it was like to be flattered.
But the more he was flattered, the more serious he became. After all, he was an old man who had followed Lin Yuan since Gao You, and he knew Lin Yuan's temper better than others.
Nan Bodhisattva does have a bodhisattva heart, but this heart is only for the common people, not for officials like them.
He still remembered that Lin Yuan once said to them: "If you do well, I can give you the money and power. If you do not do well, cut off a head, there are countless heads that want to rush up, and you can always find it. The next suitable one."
At that time, these officials were terrified when they heard it below.
Nan Bodhisattva is not easy to control, not a weak monarch. On the contrary, he has the potential of a tyrant.
The biggest characteristic of tyrants is that they are one-of-a-kind, and their methods are cruel and vicious.
It's just that the tyrant's viciousness and cruelty are directed at the enemy and their officials.
Wu Changqing asked the servant to pour a cup of tea for the man in front of him, and asked with a smile, "Little White Lotus?"
The leader's surname is Bao, Bao Shisan. He changed his name after he became the leader. Bao Jianghe and Wu Changqing sighed in their hearts when they saw this person for the first time. It is very rare to see such a decent-looking person.
With a square face and wide forehead, big eyes and thick eyebrows, looking at a righteous body, it is no wonder that he can attract believers.
People at this time believed that a gentleman had the appearance of a gentleman, and a villain had the appearance of a villain.
Bao Jianghe is very generous. Even if he is not a generous person, he has been held on top for so long, even if the inside has not changed, the outside has a bit of meaning.
At least not showing timidity in front of Wu Changqing.
Bao Jianghe said: "If the adults can protect the villains, the villains will know everything and say everything."
Wu Changqing smiled: "Eat tea, eat tea."
The two just sat like this, Bao Jianghe sat unsteadily, as if a needle was pierced under his buttocks.
Seeing Bao Jianghe's appearance, Wu Changqing knew that it was time, so he said, "Now, this lord on his head has no room for sand. If you don't come, the Little White Lotus Sect will not be able to do anything."
Bao Jianghe took a breath, and he felt a threat, which made him shudder.
Wu Changqing added: "If there is, I may be able to keep you."
Bao Jianghe didn't dare to say it, because he was afraid that if he did, those people would do everything possible to kill him.
Wu Changqing also seemed to see his worries, and said softly, "If you submit your name, don't leave any way out. If you really leave, the two sides are not flattering, and the two sides are not people."
The cold sweat on Bao Jianghe's forehead fell, and after a while, he said with trembling hands: "The villain knows the identities and addresses of the leaders of the other families and their capable subordinates."
Wu Changqing: "That's right, virtuous brother, act decisively and be a wise man."
"Come here, send this virtuous brother to Governor Song's house. You can serve him well along the way. Don't slack off." Wu Changqing sent someone to send Bao Jianghe out. He knew that Lin Yuan valued Song Lian and could do it without any effort. It sells well, so why not sell it? He will not lose two or two meat.
He sold well, no matter how many points others scored, it was always him who took advantage.
Bao Jianghe was sent to Song Lian's mansion in such a confused way. Song Lian is a literati, gentle and courteous, and his behavior is bookish, but he will not make people feel that he is aloof. Bao Jianghe doesn't know what he is talking about. Wait for him. When he reacted, he realized that his bottom had fallen.
Then Bao Jianghe was locked in the yard. He knew that he probably would not be able to get out of the yard, but his sweetheart was also sent in. He had food and drink every day, he didn't have to work by himself, and was kept for nothing. , he is also content.

"Master Bao is missing!"
"I haven't seen anyone for a month."
"What happened?"
"Go to Zhang's Teahouse!"
"Then the leader of the Little White Lotus Sect is talking about his life in the teahouse!"
"This is such a rare thing that no one cares?"
"Then how do you know that the eldest man above Xu Shi has also discovered the benefits of the Little White Lotus Cult?"
People and congregants poured into Zhang's Teahouse. Many people couldn't squeeze in, so they could only watch from the window. People were crowded with each other. There was not such a big scene during Chinese New Year. The owner of Zhang's Teahouse was smiling so hard Now, Yahuozi is also exposed. After today is over, his Zhang's Teahouse is also well-known in Pingjiang!
Bao Jianghe is the first time he has seen such a big scene, and he has never been so nervous when facing believers in the past.
He remembered what Song Lian said to him last night.
"Young Master Bao doesn't want to be in the yard all the time. If you want to go out, you should share your worries for the adults."
He came here to share his worries.
Bao Jianghe swallowed.
"My surname is Bao, who was originally the leader of the Little White Lotus Sect."
The congregation cried, "Sect Master! Sect Master! We are here!"
Bao Jianghe looked at the congregation, and felt uneasy in his heart. The people who came here were all ordinary congregants. kill him.
It has come to this point, and there is no turning back.
"A few years ago, Bao Mou was just like everyone else. He was just a common man. His parents and brothers died early. He had enough food for one person and the whole family was not hungry. He lived as a porter for a living.
Bao Jianghe's mood finally calmed down. He remembered the old days. He was busy running around for a living. He used to feel bitter, but now that he thinks about it, it is not a hard life.
Life is also simple, even if I eat a meal of meat, I still feel satisfied.
"Later I heard that the White Lotus Sect in the north has a huge power and is living a life of a superior person, so my mind started to move slowly."
"In the name of the White Lotus Religion, I established a small White Lotus Religion. At that time, I just wanted to take in some believers, so that Bao could have a better life and save some money for marrying a daughter-in-law."
"For some reason, the number of believers became more and more, and the number of people who followed Bao became more and more, forcing them to Liangshan and had to move forward."
"The cronies around me also have their own thoughts. Since Han Shantong can proclaim himself king and Han Lin'er can become emperor, they think I can do it too. At that time, everyone can be an official and enjoy the glory and wealth."
When it came to this, the believers below were half insane.
"Sect Master! Someone must have forced the Sect Master to say so!"
"Master!"
"No more, no more!"
But Bao Jianghe was unmoved: "The congregation offered virgins and virgins, and I didn't stay with these people. The cronies took them away and put them in the room. It was the gods and Buddhas who took their children to live a good life."
…
"You beasts in human skins!" The woman was in her forties, with a yellow face and thin skin. She wore a commoner's clothes with a sad face. At first she just listened numbly, but then she yelled like crazy, "I know! I don't know anything. I know! I saw my son's bones! You just left him in the wild! I saw it when I went to pick wild vegetables! My son is only twelve years old! "
A non-believer next to her asked her, "Then why don't you tell others?"
"That is, the son died, and the mother didn't find justice for him?"
The woman was so thin that she lost her shape and her eyes bulged out. She said with trembling lips, "I told you, I told my family..."
Another person asked the man standing beside her: "It's not only her son, but also your son. You, a father, don't take your son's life seriously?"
The middle-aged man with hunched waist looked like an old man, his temples were white, and if he didn't mention his age, he looked like a sixty-year-old man, his lips trembled slightly, and he didn't dare to look up to meet people: "Who dares to say What? The people in our village are all followers of the Little White Lotus Sect. They all believe in the leader. Who would believe me? A scholar in the village said that the Little White Lotus Sect was just pretending to be a ghost, and it disappeared in the middle of the night. My family… My family is not even a scholar. …”
"I still have two daughters and three sons..." A tear fell from the man's eyes. "If one dies, the whole family can't go down to be with him."
People looked at the family with pity.
Some of the believers also shouted: "Where is my son?"
"Where is my daughter? I even prepared a dowry for my daughter!"
Bao Jianghe added: "Most of those who were born well are still in the yard of my cronies. Those who were not born well either died or were sold to the kiln."
Those young virgins thought they could live a good life if they were sent to the leader.
It was only when I went to know that it was a hell on earth.
Bao Jianghe: "Bao is wrong."
He looked at the tearful congregation, looked at the people who knew nothing, and slowly knelt down and knelt in front of the crowd.
He was just one of these people at first.
Since when have you stopped treating human life as human life
When did it begin to feel that it was right to give the childhood virgins offered by the congregation to their cronies
Bao Jianghe lowered his head.
After he dies, will he go to eighteen levels of hell
