my brother-in-law is the prince

Chapter 274

Zhu Di led the people and rushed to Qixia without stopping.

Qixia's several yamen, including the military camp of the Model Camp, are all in the Eastern District.

The libraries and schools are mainly located in the southern district, while the docks and markets are located in the western district.

As for the North District, it is the main residential area, where Zhang Anshi's new residence is located.

Here in the Eastern District, from Nanzhen Fusi to Model Camp, there are also the yamen that manage Qixia, and even the yamen of the prefect of Taiping Prefecture.

But now, it is tense here.

A large number of school captains began to gather. Although they didn't know what happened, they were all wearing brocade clothes and carrying knives.

In addition, a large number of horses have also been prepared, and even the salute immediately, someone has thoughtfully hung them on the saddle.

Three days of rations for each person, plus a considerable amount of travel money, everyone has a share.

The school captains who got together talked a lot, and then Zhang Anshi began to issue orders.

Following the orders one after another, although everyone didn't know what happened, after getting the order, they set off quickly and followed their hundreds of households on a fast pace.

In the model battalion, [-] veterans were led by Zhu Yong himself, and they had already boarded the ferry that had already been prepared, and the boatloads of people left with murderous intent.

The entire Eastern District was filled with a murderous aura.

The number of guard posts here has increased significantly.

Wait for Zhu Di's car to arrive.

Zhang Anshi, who received the news, hurried to greet him.

After welcoming Zhu Di, Zhang Anshi saluted and said, "I have seen Your Majesty."

See Zhang Anshi.

Almost everyone realized that this time...they might really be going to catch a thief, and it must be a big fish.

Because Zhang Anshi was wearing double armor.

So much so that when Zhang Anshi saluted, he couldn't even bend his waist down. He was like a puppet. When he moved his body, his whole body would make a clanging sound of metal friction.

Zhu Di said, "What kind of thief are you trying to catch?"

"Father Buddha and Mother Buddha."

"Have you found their trace?" Zhu Di stared at Zhang Anshi.

Zhang Anshi said: "They have already been arrested, and there are still many backbones, all of whom have been captured, a total of more than [-] people. It's just...they have a lot of followers, and I am afraid that someone will rob prisoners along the way. Therefore, we will send more Manpower, go and bring people back."

After Zhu Di heard this, he was very excited, and even his face that had been gloomy for many days suddenly eased up.

With his hands behind his back, he said excitedly, "How did you hold it?"

Zhang Anshi looked around vigilantly.

Zhu Di realized something, and immediately said: "No matter how I catch them, it's just these traitors. I must smash their corpses into thousands of pieces, smash their bones into ashes, and only then can I get rid of my hatred. People... When can I bring them back?"

Up to now, Zhu Di's anger still hasn't dissipated half of it.

"You can go back and forth within seven or eight days..." Zhang Anshi said: "The main thing is to prevent it from happening..."

Zhu Di nodded and said, "It's not wrong to be more cautious at this time. Zhang Qing has made a great contribution to this, and I must reward him heavily."

Zhang Anshi immediately burst into joy, and said cheerfully: "Your Majesty... what kind of credit is this minister? What's more, I'm already a duke of the state, and I have received such great love from my majesty. How dare I ask for any reward? Your majesty rewards me as much as you like." I got ten thousand taels of silver."

Zhu Di: "..."

Zhu Di's original intention was to reward him tens of thousands of taels of silver.

But... Zhang Anshi's tone... made the reward he originally planned to give a little bit hard to say, so he hesitated a bit.

Slowing down, he took a deep breath, and finally said: "Well, how can you give this little reward for such merits as you? Come on, tell me how it is arranged? I have made a plan, and here it is ...waiting for the thief to come to the capital."

Zhang Anshi felt that it was inappropriate for Zhu Di to stay here all this time, so he persuaded him: "Your Majesty, it will take several days to bring the bandit leader to the capital..."

After Zhu Di heard this, he said indifferently: "I hate these two thieves for digging up my ancestral grave, and I can't wait for a moment to kill them. Today, my royal family is here in person. If I don't see these two thieves, I will definitely Don't give up."

Saying that, without waiting for Zhang Anshi, the master, to agree, he walked into Nanzhen Fusi.

The accompanying ministers, you look at me, I look at you, and they all look at each other.

But Zhu Di's hatred is understandable.

Not to mention the emperor, even ordinary people, if their ancestral graves were dug up, they would have to go back and pick up a hatchet and die.

Zhang Anshi looked embarrassed, glanced at Wenwu behind him, and hurriedly chased after him: "Your Majesty, my minister's place... is relatively simple..."

Zhu Di ignored him, and went directly to the Fusi lobby in Nanzhen. After taking a seat at the head of the hall, he said, "Make tea for me."

He looked unwilling to talk to Zhang Anshi, his intention was obvious, and he planned to hang on here to death.

Zhu Di stopped looking at Zhang Anshi, and his eyes fell on the two of them.

He ordered Yang Rong and Hu Guang who came with him: "You two...you can go back to Wenyuan Pavilion to draft a ticket. If there is any important matter, come and report to me."

Hu Guang and Yang Rong saluted and said, "Observe the order."

In any case, the two were still greatly relieved, as long as His Majesty does not want to kill.

On the other side, Zhu Yong and others went all the way to Wuhu County in Taiping Prefecture.

He went directly to the Wuhu county government office.

They looked tired, and when they arrived at the county government, the local county magistrate Liu Zhen rushed out to greet them: "I have seen you generals."

Zhu Yong said anxiously: "Stop rambling, what about the thief?"

Liu Zhen turned pale with shock, and said in amazement: "What kind of thief?"

Zhu Yong said in a rough voice: "What are you talking about about a thief? You have already caught the thief and taught me to take it back."

Liu Zhen was dumbfounded, and after gathering his composure, he hurriedly welcomed Zhu Yong to the house, saluted first, and then said: "I didn't hear that, there...is there any thief here..."

Zhu Yong was furious immediately, glared at Liu Zhen, and said angrily, "What my brother said could be wrong, why, could it be that you have colluded with the thief and taken the thief away?"

"Really not." Liu Zhen stayed for a while, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, and said: "General, you don't even think about it, who is a lower official, a lower official is just a poor official, a mere seventh-rank official, half his life wasted, and most of his life wasted, I can't do anything, how can I have this ability, what kind of thief can I catch? Does the general look down on me too much?"

Zhu Yong: "..."

With Zhu Yong's IQ, he actually thinks what Liu Zhen said is reasonable. The person in front of him is a waste at first glance. No matter how you look at it, such a waste does not look like he can catch a thief.

Zhu Yong couldn't help feeling suspicious, and said, "Could it be that his mother made a mistake? That's not right, my elder brother said to come to this county government office."

Liu Zhendao: "I wonder if there are any other orders?"

Zhu Yong slapped his forehead: "That's right, there really is. He gave me a tip and said that I will talk about it after picking up the thief. But... isn't this because I didn't hand over the thief?"

Liu Zhendao: "Then it's better to take it out and have a look."

Zhu Yong shook his head: "No, the eldest brother ordered it, and you can only see it after handing it over to the thief."

"Isn't this a matter of urgency?"

Zhu Yong said very stubbornly: "I don't know what is urgent to follow the power. I only know that if you don't hand over the thief, you will die and you can't watch it."

Liu Zhen: "..."

There was a deathly silence in the house.

After a long silence, Liu Zhen said, "General, did Duke Wei say that you are not allowed to see it?"

Zhu Yong thought for a while and said, "The original words are indeed that you can't read them."

"Then, my servant... can I watch it?"

When Zhu Yong heard this, he immediately beamed with joy, and slapped Liu Zhen on the shoulder hard. With a slap, Liu Zhen immediately became shorter, and felt that his internal organs were shaking, and he almost vomited.He let out an "uh ah" and managed to catch his breath.

Zhu Yong said: "You look pretty damn smart, okay, then come and see."

After finishing speaking, he immediately took the kit and handed it to Liu Zhen.

After Liu Zhen looked at it carefully, he smiled and said: "The superior said that there are no thieves. Let's go back to Qixia."

"Really?" Zhu Yong looked suspicious: "So that's the case, big brother is really unpredictable."

Liu Zhendao: "General...you see."

Zhu Yong's complexion changed, and he suddenly looked sideways at Liu Zhen, and said, "Bold, you've discovered top military secrets, and you're plotting something wrong!"

Liu Zhenren was numb, his face turned pale, he hurriedly waved his hands and said: "No, no, the next official didn't..."

Zhu Yong glared at him angrily and said: "I still said no, this kit is top secret, and what is written in it is the strategy of the military and the country. You read it in full view, and now you still deny it? It seems...you are no longer You're an ordinary traitor! Someone, take this dog official down immediately."

Liu Zhen was frightened out of his wits, and said in his mouth: "If you want to commit a crime, there is nothing to worry about..."

Zhu Yong glanced at him, and then he didn't look at him again, and several guards who ordered him quickly tied up Liu Zhen.

Liu Zhen yelled: "General, General... I was wronged, I was wronged, you taught me."

Zhu Yong snorted coldly and said, "I told you to eat X, do you want to eat too?"

Liu Zhen suddenly stopped talking, his eyes were like dead fish, and suddenly lost his spirit.

Someone took a ball of cloth and directly blocked his mouth.

Immediately afterwards, someone dragged him out.

Zhu Yong sat in the hut, having fun, first took a sip of tea, then took out another kit, and said cheerfully: "Brother really knows things like a god, come here, someone must have peeked at the top-secret military situation, as expected... It's on track."

"Come on, go and call the county magistrate, the general wants to see him."

"Yes……"

………………

in the cave.

Someone hurried in, this person walked very fast, someone stopped him, he shouted anxiously: "Something has happened, something has happened, I want to see the two celestial beings."

The Taoist hesitated for a moment, then exchanged glances with the others.

One of the Taoists said: "Shangxian is removing demonic barriers for people. At this time, he hates being disturbed the most. Are you sure... do you want to interrupt?"

But the person in front of him still said: "The matter is important and needs to be reported immediately."

Daoist people know that something big may really happen.

So he said, "Wait here."

After a stick of incense, the Taoist left and returned, saying, "Follow me."

Immediately, this person led this person in, and walked all the way to a bright hall.

There are several statues of gods enshrined in this bright hall. Besides, the Buddha father and Buddha mother are already sitting cross-legged here.

The Buddha's father looked a bit haggard, while the Buddha's mother looked solemn.

The two stared at the person coming.

The man bowed down and said: "It's not good, over there in the capital...it is said that someone has captured the two immortals."

The Buddha mother was surprised when she heard this.

Then he said: "My second body is here, when did I become a prisoner? Heh... It's just a trick of those court dog officials to kill the good and pretend to be meritorious."

The man hurriedly said again: "No, no, there was a lot of commotion. It was the dog who dealt with it himself, sending out countless captains, and even the model dog battalion. Not only that, even the emperor himself went to Qixia to sit in town. Xiaodao After hearing the news, I thought that something happened to the Shangxian, so I rushed here, but I didn't expect the two Shangxians to be safe, so... this is..."

The Buddha's mother was even more disdainful: "That dog, it seems that it is nothing more than that, nine out of ten, it is to deceive the dog emperor, and wants to take credit for it! The immortal also said, where did he get so many so-called credits? It turns out that this is the case, it is really unreasonable for Zhu Ming not to perish."

Only the Buddha father kept silent. He frowned and mused.

Seeing that he didn't speak, the Buddha's mother glanced at him.

At this moment, the Buddha father suddenly said: "Not good!"

"what?"

"Don't underestimate that dog Zhang." The Buddha said: "This man is cruel and violent, but he doesn't have much ability. He will never be what he is today. This is the biggest eagle dog beside the Emperor Dog. How can he be underestimated?"

After a pause, the Buddha said again: "What he is doing is a poisonous plan, that is, he uses many Bailian priests in various states and capitals in the world. They don't know our identities. Most of them don't know us, so they pretend to be If you catch someone, you just need to find two people to replace them, and in front of the people of the world, punish these two people, this ignorant person will naturally think that you and I, the two immortals, have been killed by the court."

After hearing this, the Buddha's mother was shocked.

What they did was a secret operation.

On weekdays, Shenlong sees the head but does not see the tail, and it is for safety.

Then take people similar to Dharma protectors, go to various places to preach, and then appoint white lotus priests from all over the place to teach them to absorb the congregation.

By doing so, you can try your best to avoid hidden dangers and avoid arrest by the government.

On the other hand, it also maintains a sense of mystery in the minds of the congregation.

Otherwise, if people see you, they will only have two eyes and two ears, nothing strange, and it is inevitable that they will lose a lot of piety in their hearts.

Zhang Anshi obviously grasped this point. Once this move is successful, at least [-]% to [-]% of the congregation in the world will know that the two immortals are dead, and they don't have much magic power. ?

Once such cognitive confusion occurs, people's hearts will inevitably fluctuate, and the White Lotus Sect will be easily abolished, and half of its strength will be directly abolished.

There will even be some backbones who don't know what to do. After learning that the Buddha's father and Buddha's mother have been captured, they are panicked and may go directly to the court to save their lives.

Father Buddha said: "Yes, yes, it seems that we have met an opponent."

As he said that, he actually smiled, with another look of indifference.

The Buddha's mother raised her eyebrows and said: "It's up to now, you can laugh."

Father Buddha said: "I thought that the imperial court would cut the mess straight away, but I didn't expect that they are still cheating. It can be seen...they have not...completely lost their sanity, and still want to deal with this immortal."

Father Buddha actually became happy, and he immediately said disdainfully: "However...it is very easy to deal with them, what is it? To defeat their schemes, you just need to show your real body, and then...send people around to lobby for you. Yes. Even if someone wavers, as long as we act early, the harm can be minimized."

The Buddha's mother said with a bit of worry: "Revealed the real body... Will it..."

Father Buddha said: "Don't worry, the local county magistrate, his mother and wife are our disciples. He obeyed us and dared not refuse. The local inspection has already obtained our property. We After summoning the disciples here and setting up an altar, we immediately found a new place to hide, and by then... when the imperial court finds out about it later, we will have already left the building empty."

The Buddha's mother nodded, and then said: "It has to be like this."

But the Buddha thought for a while, and then said: "It's just... the method of opening the altar is just a countermeasure. Since they still want to make trouble, then... then I can't be blamed. I told Cui Yinghao in the palace to teach him to prepare too. Right. If the dog emperor doesn't kill him... then... I will kill him."

As he said that, the Buddha father said with a blunt expression: "Heh... Only when I tell the dog emperor again and again that if he doesn't kill people, his dragon chair will not be stable, is he willing to kill people, and if he doesn't kill people... how can we kill people?" succeed?"

The Buddha's mother said with some lingering concerns: "Those people in the palace...can you count on them?"

"You don't understand, the people in the palace are the most empty. They have no children, and they hope to entrust the afterlife the most. Back then, they bought them and tried their best to teach the teachings of our White Lotus Sect. It was originally hope that they could help find out some news. Or... ...Win them over, and ask them to take care of our White Lotus Sect in the future. Who would have thought that... this dog emperor would want to bite us to the death..."

Speaking of this, the Buddha father sighed, and then said: "I didn't come this far. This immortal will never take risks! We have planned for so many years, and it's hard to live such a good life. Who wants to hide from now on, Going against the court? It’s true that they won’t let us go.”

The Buddha's mother said: "In this case, when will the altar be opened?"

Father Buddha squinted his eyes, his eyes flashed brightly, and then said: "The sooner the better."

…………

The next day...

A large number of Taoists began to climb the mountain.

Most of these Taoists are the backbone of Taoists nearby.

Because time is tight and people's hearts are fluctuating, the time is directly chosen at the auspicious time of the next day.

As a result, there were not many Taoists who climbed the mountain, and they all came from the county or a few nearby counties overnight.

Everyone climbed the mountain non-stop.

After arriving at the Taoist temple, immediately...they bowed down one after another.

Hundreds of people remained silent.

Altars have already been set up here.

At this time, the Taoists didn't know what was going on in the capital, they only knew that the Buddha and the Buddha's mother were going to open the altar in person, and there were even many people who never expected that the Buddha and the Buddha's mother were in this county. Inexplicable.

In the Taoist temple, a person shouted loudly: "Father Buddha's decree: The capital is full of evil spirits, and there is a demon head named Zhang Anshi. This man... is the reincarnation of a snake spirit. Now he is killing innocent people indiscriminately. The demon is not far away. There is a saying that a trapped beast is still fighting, this demon is so bold, and now in the capital, he pretends to have captured the two immortals... Now the two immortals open the altar in person, and do it in public. All fellow Taoists will go down the mountain after seeing the beauty. Spread it widely, don't teach monsters to confuse the public."

All Taoist Bailian looked at each other in blank dismay, all pale in shock.

Immediately afterwards, a thick fog began to rise from the cave.

Everyone smelled the thick fog, and there was a fragrance, so they raised their heads one after another, and saw two people slowly coming out of the cave in the fog.

The Taoists were all excited, some were crying, some were trembling like convulsions.

Some people shouted: "Shangxian, Shangxian... I beg the Shangxian to relieve my crisis...",

More people kowtowed continuously, facing the direction of the two immortals, chanting scriptures.

The two immortals walked slowly to the altar.

Then he said: "Listen, in the 300 years of the country, there will be immortals. Now the king has no way, and the people suffer. This immortal reincarnated in the world is to teach you that everyone has food to eat and everyone has clothes to wear. No disasters and no diseases, teach you to be rich and honored..."

As he spoke, he took a mahogany sword, and said in his mouth: "What you are doing now is to kill the demons and eliminate the evil spirits. The evil spirits are making trouble in the south. I am going to take their heads from thousands of miles away."

Saying that, the mahogany sword stabbed towards the void.

But suddenly, a tree in the direction of Nanjing City was suddenly dripping with blood.

Everyone looked at the tree in amazement, and blood spread out from the gap in the tree.

All the Taoists exclaimed one after another, and worshiped this immortal method even more.

Father Buddha said again: "This immortal will kill another demon..."

Saying this, the mahogany sword was about to stab out again.

So everyone stared at the mahogany sword.

But at this time, someone suddenly said: "I will also punish you."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone felt strange.

But someone stood out from the crowd.

No... not one person, but dozens of people.

The first person is Chen Daowen.

Chen Daowen laughed out loud, and then threw out a dark object first.

The thing arced across the air.

But he rushed under the altar, the dozens of Taoist guardians of the two immortals guarding the altar.

boom……

A roar.

Immediately afterwards, gunpowder smoke rose.

Those dozens of Taoists who were close were instantly blasted to pieces.

The rest... are also staggering.

At the same time, dozens of people who followed also threw out their grenades.

Each grenade drew an elegant arc and flew towards the place where the opponent's hands were densest.

boom... boom...

There was a sound of thunder, like thunder.

Many stumps flew out, and the blood mist scattered in an instant.

The people nearby were mostly injured by the iron filings blown out of the grenade, and fell to the ground, wailing desperately.

The scene was suddenly chaotic.

At this time, Chen Daowen shouted loudly: "Take someone."

Chen Daowen took the lead and quickly took his bamboo stick from the ground.

This bamboo stick was originally used for mountain climbing, and everyone is not surprised.

But who knew, he twisted the head of the bamboo stick and pulled out a thin sword from the battle.

Then, others followed suit.

The crowd went straight to the altar.

On the altar, the Buddha's father and Buddha's mother had long been petrified by this sudden incident.

Father Buddha was the first to react, and shouted: "Wait... are you going to make trouble?"

Chen Daowen bullied him, pointed his sword at him, and cursed: "You are the one who caused the chaos!"

Father Buddha held a mahogany sword in his hand and said with a sneer, "Look at my immortal skills."

As he spoke, he began to chant sutras.

It was nothing more than a curse or something, as if he was afraid that Chen Daowen would not understand, he said: "You...do you know that after I read this sutra, I will teach you to become a beast for life after life, and teach you to have no children and grandchildren?"

Chen Daowen looked at him coldly without any fear, and said, "Take it!"

After he said that, he rushed forward.

The guards under the altar, as well as the rest of Taoist Bailian, although there were many people, suffered a lot of casualties from the very beginning, and many people were still at a loss. Even if there were occasional people who wanted to resist, how could they be so well-trained? Opponents of carefully selected elite captains?
Needless to say, all the captains held sharp knives and could stab people to death with a single sword, and the rest were terrified and trembling.

However, many people still shouted one after another: "Protect the Shangxian, protect the Shangxian..."

It's just that it's the same as chanting, which doesn't help at all.

Father Buddha's face turned pale with fright, and he turned to run away.

It's a pity that before he ran two steps, he was kicked from behind.

After all, these days, he has expelled too many 'demonic barriers' from people, and his body has suffered a lot.

Then, Chen Daowen stepped forward, picked him up like a chicken, spit on his face first, and then said: "Dog-like things, you still want to become a sperm?"

The Buddha's father shouted: "Lishi, if you spare me, I will make you a Dharma protector general, give you countless beauties, and reward you with countless fairy houses."

Chen Daowen slapped him directly in the face.

The Buddha father burst into tears, and said with an ouch, "You are finished, you are finished, I have millions of followers, and I will teach you never to be reborn."

On the other side, the Buddha mother was only sitting paralyzed on the altar, and was also captured.

Chen Daowen shouted loudly: "Come on, send out a signal to let other brothers kill you up the mountain!"

"Here."

After all, a firework was lit, and then flew into the sky with a bang.

Some Taoist Bailian who came back to their senses began to besiege Chen Daowen and others who held the Buddha's father and mother hostage on the altar.

Chen Daowen and the others concentrated their energy on fighting to the death with their swords raised, and occasionally...someone flew out a grenade.

But even so, there were still some Taoist Bailian who had fallen into madness and rushed towards him like crazy.

One of the captains was hit by a flying stone unexpectedly.

Then, with his head bleeding, he staggered, but still stood. Seeing the gap, all the Taoists rushed forward. Someone hit him on the head with a wooden stick. He raised his sword, shouted angrily, and stabbed him down. One person, the body also fell down.

His companions rushed over and dragged him out from among the Taoists.

At this moment...he was covered in blood, and someone shouted, trying to cheer him up.

He only opened his eyes tiredly, and then...weakly said: "You...you want to send him...back to Qixia...Duke Wei is waiting, the Guild of Wei will take care of my parents and family..."

But at this time, more and more Taoists were slowly coming back, and there were various voices from these people, and they continued to besiege.

Captains fell one by one.

But at this moment... suddenly... there was a piercing bamboo whistle sound.

At the foot of the mountain, someone shouted: "Kill."

Then there were shouts and killings from all directions.

The Taoists were shocked, with panic on their faces.
