Forty-eight years of Qianlong

Chapter 211 Christians and Bandits ([-])
"A jug of wine, two people to drink. I am the younger brother, and you (you) are the elder brother. Who should drink, should drink!"

"A crab has eight legs, and two eyes that are as big as one mound! A pair of treasures, how are you brothers!"

"Such a big lump!"

"Samsung photos!"

"Such a big lump!"

"Small bench, straightened at both ends, no one loses and no one wins!"

There are two Eight Immortals tables in the flower hall.Zhao Xin and Chen Jishan led the people from Shouyuan Sect into the door, and the dozen or so water bandits who were eating meat, drinking, and throwing fists suddenly fell silent.They didn't expect that the group of Shouyuan Sect who were scolding just now would also follow.

A group of water bandits squinted at a group of believers, neither of them looked down on the other.But the rules on the road can't be broken, and you can't tear each other down when you meet.

Zhao Xin cupped his fists at a group of water bandits and said, "Heroes, this is Daoist Sun and his apprentices. Our place is small, and we don't usually have any guests. It's rare for everyone to show you face today. Please make it easy for everyone. Daoist Sun and the others sit in separate seats. One table. How can I be offended if I don’t greet you well!”

The second cabinet squinted at Zhao Xin and said, "Which one is it?"

"My surname is Zhao, and I'm a clean guest in Zhuangzi. Help Master Xu greet everyone, if there is anything wrong, please forgive me."

"If the master doesn't come, let this Qing, Qing guest entertain us, do you think it's appropriate?"

"I'm sorry, Zhuangzi just arrived for a batch of grain. Master Xu took the brother just now to count the grain."

As soon as Zhao Xin said this, he immediately attracted the greedy eyes of a group of people present.The second cabinet tentatively asked, "How much has it arrived?"

"Hehe, there are still a few hundred stones."

The second cabinet stood up suddenly, and said in his mouth, "Let's go and have a look too."

Zhao Xin persuaded with a smile: "The food is all in the warehouse, so I won't run away with long legs. Everyone eat and drink first. After a while, Master Xu will come back with your expensive man, and I will offer you a glass of wine."

The second cabinet wanted to ask again, but the water bandit beside him pulled him to sit down and said, "Second brother, the big cabinet will bring people to fetch food in the future, forgive them for not playing tricks! Good wine and good food are rare at this time !"

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Chen Jishan and Li Erkui lifted a screen to separate the two Eight Immortals tables.An action team member disguised as a servant brought the food over again.

Smelling the aroma of wine and meat coming from the other side of the screen, the people who accepted Yuanjiao were also greedy, swallowing their saliva uncontrollably.

Zhao Xin said to the middle-aged man who claimed to be Daoist Sun: "Is there any taboo for the Daoist to eat with his disciples?"

"This... don't eat meat, wine and meat are fine."

Zhao Xin nodded and said, "That's good. I'll arrange it right away. Please sit down for a while."

Not long after, Li Erkui, Chen Jishan and two other men dressed as servants came to the table with several trays of meat and bowls and chopsticks.Zhao Xin came back with a few bottles that were exactly the same as those drunk by the water bandits next door.The Taoist priest surnamed Sun saw the bottle in Zhao Xin's hand, and his eyes immediately widened.

What is the origin of this family?He actually used crystal glass bottles to bottle wine, and he looked like he didn't care.Originally, he just wanted to bring his apprentice here to cheat for food and drink, to scare the other party with the words in the treasure scroll, and to cheat some money, but he didn't expect the other party to be so extravagant!

"Everyone, please forgive me for the hasty preparations. Have two drinks first, and then there will be hot dishes."

Zhao Xin pretended to pour wine for a few people from Yuanjiao, walked around, and when he saw the pretty woman, he hesitated: "Does this noble woman also drink?"

Sun Daozhang said: "It's okay."

The woman blushed, put down the child in her arms and got up and said: "You don't have to be polite, sir, kill the little girl. I will do it myself." As she spoke, the little girl stood aside, showing a small head He stared at the meat dishes on the table.

After several people poured wine, Zhao Xin picked up the wine glass and said with a smile: "Today is destined to be able to make friends with all the immortal masters. I will do it first to respect!"

Sun Daochang looked at the clear wine in his hand, drank it with a smile, and then praised: "Good wine!"

He looked at Zhao Xin and asked, "Mr. Zhao, does this wine have a name? Where did it come from?"

Zhao Xindao: "Oh, this is produced in the extreme north. My master likes it to be clean and bought a lot from overseas. If Taoist likes it, please take a few more bottles with you after reading the yard's feng shui."

"Okay, okay!" Sun Daochang was very happy when he heard it, and nodded repeatedly.

At this time, several believers finished drinking and looked at the meat dishes on the table, salivating.Wanting to feast on it, but fearing that Zhao Xin would underestimate it, he carefully stuffed it into his mouth with chopsticks.

After drinking for three rounds, Zhao Xin asked: "If you dare to ask Chang Gao's name, I can go and report it to Master Xu."

Daoist Sun hesitated for a moment. Seeing that Zhao Xin was straightforward and courteous, he said, "Sun Guiyuan, the poor Daoist. His Daoist name is Qingfeng Zhenren."

Zhao Xin didn't know at the moment that this self-proclaimed Master Qingfeng Sun Guiyuan was the current leader of Shouyuan Sect.

In the 55th year of Kangxi, Zhang Jindou, a native of Shanxi's eldest son county, founded the "Longhuahui" based on the "Litianhouhuijing" left by his father, also known as "Wuweijiao".In the sixth year of Yongzheng, Zhang Jindou was discovered by the Qing court and was killed.Afterwards, the disciples began to preach to the surrounding provinces, and the second disciple Li Yanwen passed on to Zhang Ren.Zhang Ren changed the name of Shouyuanjiao to "Ronghuahui".

In the 21st year of Qianlong, Zhang Ren was arrested at the incident, and Xu Guotai, a believer, slipped through the net and escaped.Xu Guotai later changed the Ronghua Society taught by Zhang Ren to Yuanjiao, preached the Cross Sutra and the eight-character mantra, and spread "Ten sects have a way of teaching, ten people work together for one burden, ten people contract with Xijiang Moon, open a bow and shoot arrows. to Chang'an".

In the 39th year of Qianlong, Shouyuanjiao was cracked down by the government in Henan, and a group of key members including Xu Guotai were executed.The disciple Sun Guiyuan escaped by chance.After ten years of incognito, Sun Guiyuan lived more and more convulsively, and the poor couldn't live any longer. He recalled that the Shouyuan Sect could collect disciples to make money, so he spread the word of Zhan Zhenglin and others as disciples, and began to swindle money all the way.

Some "scholars" in later generations believed that the founders of ancient folk religions and their enthusiastic disseminators were "excellent" folk religionists and elite figures with outstanding religious talents.

Stop blaspheming the religious spirit!These people call him a great money grabber or something.

Historically, most founders and disseminators of folk religions belonged to the poor class living in extreme poverty, and some were even typical hooligans.These people's economic status is low, their own livelihood is difficult to guarantee, their social status is not high, and their moral character is difficult to compliment.

They are completely powerless to help others, let alone have the noble sentiment of "pursuing all sentient beings out of the sea of ​​suffering".Their so-called creed and preaching are not so much a religious pursuit as they are using people's religious beliefs to seek an effective way to improve their economic and social status.

Creating religions, preaching, collecting money, getting rid of poverty and becoming rich is their most primitive mentality.Throughout the ages, these people have always followed the same path (in modern times, these folk sects have changed, either they are not a certain master, or they are a certain lecturer; what's more, they have established a certain spiritual class.)
For example, Hu Zhang, the third generation leader of Shouyuan Sect (yes! She is a woman), once donated 120 taels of silver and donated a supervisor for his son.Liu Ruhan, the head of the Bagua Sect, spent money to donate to the magistrate of Shanxian County in Shandong, and he actually served as a county magistrate for more than ten years.

Of course, besides money, beauty is also a by-product of their preaching.

In history, Wu Sanniang, who joined Qingshui Sect as a teacher thanks to Wang Lun's healing, was named Wang Lun's righteous daughter, but she was actually Wang Lun's mistress; and Wang Lun's mistress was not the only one.

However, the leader of Hunyuan Sect once said openly to the believers: "I have achieved ambition, and everyone is good. Those who have money give alms, and those who have no money come from a family. It is always the same merit."

As for the White Lotus Sect uprising in the Qing Dynasty, it was mostly because the government discovered the secret money-gathering behavior, so they were forced to rebel, and they succeeded in attacking the government by luck!Then these congregants counted one by one, and they all dreamed of changing dynasties and becoming officials to make a fortune and beg a group of concubines.With this ambition, can it not fail?
Well, having said so much, the fifth generation leader of the Shouyuan Sect——Sun Guiyuan is not a fun thing either!
The medicine powder they gave outside Zhuangzi was just ginseng beard mixed with musk and other strong tonic medicines. After eating it, it seemed that the disease was cured, but in fact it was just a sign of recovery. Three days to die.

Zhao Xin sat quietly with the swindlers for a while, and then left the flower hall with the pretext of going to drink food.After leaving the flower hall and turning around the moon gate, Li Erkui came over with the dishes.

"Master."

"Erkui, bring a few more bottles of wine to those people in Luoma Lake!"

"Still taking it?!"

"Take it! Drink these bastards to death!"

Zhao Xin stood at the gate of the moon and thought for a while, and when he rolled his eyes, a bad idea popped up.

In the kitchen of Xikuanyuan, Chen Jishan's younger sister, Chen Erya, and Li Erkui's wife, Zhang Shi, are busy.Suddenly there were so many people to entertain, the two women were in a hurry.

Chen Erya was busy rolling out noodles and cutting noodles, when she heard someone coughing outside the door, and then heard her elder brother's voice: "My boss is here."

I only heard another man's voice saying: "Tell the kitchen to make two big pots of hot noodle soup quickly, can you do it?"

"I know how to do it." Chen Jishan turned his head and said through the window: "Erya, did you hear the boss's order?"

"I heard." Chen Erya's subordinates were quick, and after ten minutes, two large pots of hot noodle soup were ready. "Brother, the face is ready!"

Outside the door, Zhao Xin waited for Chen Jishan to come out with two large basins, and quickly beckoned him to put the basins on the lid of the water tank under the window sill.He took out a glass vial from his pocket, which was filled with white powder; after opening it, he poured more than half of the vial into two basins.I found another branch and stirred it together for a while, so I couldn't see it.

Xu Dayong and the others on the side looked terrified. They thought that Zhao Xin was poisoning, so they asked hesitantly, "My lord, what about you?"

Zhao Xin said: "Don't worry, you won't die if you eat it. This is a laxative."

Xu Dayong was a little confused, and only heard Zhao Xin say calmly: "You all get ready in a while, and clean up as soon as they come out. Try not to shoot, so as not to alarm the outside world."

"Hey."

In the flower hall, a group of water bandits were completely drunk.The strong vodka at 12 degrees, made this group of people drink too much.Several transparent glass bottles were regarded as treasures by the bandits, and they would not let go of them.There are seven or eight wine bottles for [-] people, and the distribution is uneven no matter how they are divided.

"Hey, Jiang Si, let Ye drink all this bottle of wine, let us have a taste too!"

"Don't you have it in your hands! Why do you want me!"

"That bottle is different from mine, I'll just take a look!"

"No! Ye, ye, ye, I can't pull it out, I can't pull it out!"

"Crack!" The second cabinet was also dizzy at this moment, he didn't expect the wine to smell and drink so vigorously.Cursing vaguely in his mouth: "Fuck you, shit!" At first, he still thought about the second bald boy who hadn't come, but after a burst of alcohol, he quickly forgot about it.

At another table across the screen, a young congregation took a sip of wine and whispered enviously: "Today is the right time to come! This family is really rich!"

A congregation next to him agreed: "That's right! It's been a long time since we've seen meat. Good guy! This table is full of meat and vegetables!"

While several people were talking, the pretty woman sitting next to Sun Guiyuan fed the child and said, "Godfather, this family is quite kind-hearted and has taken in so many hungry people, so let's not deceive them too much. "

Sun Guiyuan chuckled, and said disdainfully: "It's a woman's opinion! When I was in Funing, I heard people say that the master of this family made his fortune in the sea trade earlier. Bought thousands of acres of saline-alkali land. This kind of stuff is not for nothing, and we will go to Hubei after making the money. Now the whole of Henan and Shandong can't buy food with money, what is the world!"

Just as he was talking, he heard footsteps outside the door, turned his head and saw that it was Chen Jishan walking in quickly with a large pottery basin in one hand. "Everyone, Mr. Xu ordered us to pour hot noodles with vinegar! He just sent a message that the food is being put into storage, and he will come over to apologize to everyone when he is done."

"Hurry up! Hurry up!"

"Second cabinet, ye eat bowls of noodles."

The people at the two tables drank wine for a long time and stuffed their stomachs with meat. When they smelled the aroma of vinegar, they became hungry again.So each of them filled a bowl and began to eat with a sigh of relief.

The woman at the table of Shouyuanjiao served noodles for a few people, but she didn't serve it herself, and said: "I and Congniang can't eat anymore, brothers, please eat more."

After a quarter of an hour.
"Huh~! Why is my stomach uncomfortable?" a water bandit rubbed his stomach and muttered.

A few people around laughed and said, "Have you eaten too much meat, kid?"

The water bandit who was rubbing his belly couldn't sit still any longer, so he got up and walked outside.

"What?"

"The hut!"

Li Erkui outside the door pursed his lips, suppressed a smile, and pointed out the location of the latrine to the man.As a result, as soon as the guy stepped into the threshold of the Dongkua courtyard, a big stick "huh" hit him on the back of his neck!
When the water bandit fell down after eating shit, the two people next to him quickly stepped forward, gagged his mouth, tied him with a rope, and threw him into a nearby hut.

In the hut, the skinny bald man, who was tied up and gagged, opened his eyes and closed his eyes from the beating, watching this scene in horror!
