Chapter 301 Arrest
Half an hour later, Zhao Tang stood up from the chair with a strange expression on his face.

There may be many pious and honorable people in Mingjiao who are not afraid of death, but this woman in front of her is obviously not.

Confess everything, including the head of Mingjiao here, and the real purpose of coming to Tokyo.

The man who lives in this house is a flag envoy who belongs to Du Hongmian, one of the six members of Mingjiao.

But Du Hongmian, the rouge leopard, was entrusted by Fang Baihua to send people to sneak into Tokyo. On the one hand, he recruited believers to inquire about the court information, and on the other hand, he waited for an opportunity to capture the King of Song and Qi, Zhao Tong!
At this moment, not only did Zhao Tun look weird, but everyone in the house was also puzzled, not knowing what Fang Baihua was doing to capture King Qi.

If Su Shi and Yang Zhishi were present, he would know the score, but if others didn't know much about it, Zhao Tang would pretend he didn't know.

Fang Baihua has no position in the Ming Cult, but has formed a female soldier team outside the Ming Cult. They dance with guns and sticks every day, and practice martial arts. There are as many as a thousand women.

As for the envoy in charge of the flag here, she is also a woman, called You Siniang, she went out quietly through the back door before dawn today, Luo Jinsai had few people on hand, so she didn't notice.

As for where she went, the woman in front of her didn't know. Although she was You Siniang's personal bodyguard, You Siniang only ordered her to look after the house, and she didn't say the specific whereabouts.

Su Shi said at this time: "Will you go to the other two places?"

Knowing that he was talking about the two meeting places, Zhao Tong nodded and said: "It is possible, but we have never seen this person, even if we go there to do something, it is not easy to catch, but it is easy to be confused by her."

Turning around, Tan Zhen slapped the woman and shouted, "What are the characteristics of You Siniang?"

The woman had been punished a while ago, and now she has already tried everything, she immediately said that You Siniang had a mole on her eyebrows and a scar on the side of her face, and she usually lowered her hair deliberately to cover it.

Tan Zhen was afraid that she would miss it, so he found a pen and paper and asked her to draw a portrait, and then handed it to Zhao Tong.

Zhao Tong picked it up and looked at it again, and after showing it to everyone, he ordered Lu Junyi and Yan Qing to stay and wait. He and Tan Zhen took people to the two meeting places to check.

After going out and leaving, he took Zhang Xian, Shen Fei and the Scarlet Pioneers with him, while Tan Zhen led Xu Ning to another place.

The two meeting places were also secretly surrounded by the imperial guards, who were only allowed to enter but not to exit.

The place Zhao Tun went to was near the water gate in the northeast of the outer city, where most of the people living on the water lived, and there was a huge civilian area.

There were some small temples originally built in this civilian area, each dedicated to gods and Buddhas, but because people who make a living on the water mostly worship the dragon king and water god, so the other temples rarely offer incense, and many of them are in disrepair.

There is a temple in it, about the size of five or six ordinary people's houses. I didn't know which Bodhisattva was enshrined in it. Anyway, there is only half of the Buddha statue left, which has been abandoned for more than ten years.

At this moment, in the dilapidated hall of this temple, there are more than a hundred people sitting on the ground, listening to a man in front of him preaching scriptures.

This man was talking about Mingzun's Original Vow Sutra, his articulate words were not clear, but at any rate he was speaking in official language, and the people below could barely understand.

Behind the man, there was a woman sitting in her 30s, well-dressed, with a mole between her eyebrows and a fleshy face, holding a picture and looking at it carefully.

If Zhao Tun was beside him, he would definitely be able to recognize it. The painting is nothing but the scene around Prince Qi's mansion.

However, the Wangfu only drew a general outline, but the surrounding streets are clearly drawn, and even some shops are written with their names, so that anyone who is familiar with it can distinguish them at a glance.

The woman looked at the palace on the picture with a sad face at the moment, secretly slandering in her heart, such a fortified place, it is difficult to get close, how easy is it to capture King Qi?I really don't know what Miss Baihua is thinking, and what she is doing by arresting a court prince.

At this time, she couldn't figure it out when she thought about it left and right. She looked up and saw that the people listening to the scriptures below were yawning.

It turned out that the man's speech was not vivid, and most of the people here lived by asking for water. The first time they heard the teachings of Guangming, they felt fresh, but after a few times, they found that it had nothing to do with their daily livelihood, and they became a little slack.

The woman was even more worried. Originally, Mingjiao had no plan to come to Tokyo to preach. After all, it is okay to inquire about the court news at the foot of the emperor, but it is very dangerous to recruit disciples.

She is no better than other envoys in charge of the banner, but she knows some special things. Her immediate superior, Du Hongmian, and Mrs. Baihua are close friends in her boudoir.

Moreover, Lady Baihua formed a female soldier team, dancing with guns and clubs every day, and she also revealed some signs, otherwise, what are these female soldiers doing?
She knew in her heart that coming here to preach is actually an excuse, the purpose is to capture King Qi, Du Hongmian thought that recruiting some believers would help him capture, but now it looks like a dream.

What's more, the king of Qi has become the king of Qin. According to the rumors in the market, he seems to be more powerful. If such a person can't get it, that's all.

She was thinking here when she suddenly heard the sound of footsteps coming from outside, the sound was urgent and could be heard outside the walls, she couldn't help being startled.

Just as she was about to stand up and check, she heard a loud "bang" from the outer door that was originally blocked with a big stone, and it was knocked open, and then someone walked in.

Because it was near Mid-Autumn Festival and the moon was shining brightly in the sky, I could see clearly from inside the ruined hall that the people who entered were all burly men with unfriendly expressions and came straight forward.

Seeing this, the woman's expression changed drastically, and she stood up with a "teng", and the people in front of her didn't know what happened, so they couldn't help but turn their heads to look around.

This hall was originally a broken hall, with air leaks everywhere, without even a hall door, but people could see people pouring in from outside, but in an instant, the surrounding area of ​​the hall was blocked.

Afterwards, the crowd was divided, and a young gentleman walked out of it. Although it was cold in the autumn evening, this young gentleman held a gold-painted folding fan in his hand, looked into the hall and said, "Who is there?"

The woman panicked in her heart. Originally, this kind of preaching was nothing in Tokyo, but she knew that her Mingjiao was about to start a riot, so she couldn't help but feel guilty, turned around and backed away.

Zhao Tang had already caught her first glance, although the details of her face were still unclear, she had already concluded in her heart that this woman was most likely the envoy named You Siniang.

Because the housekeeper in the house confessed that they came this time with four people, two men and two women, the two men were escorts, You Siniang was in charge of the flag, and she was the personal bodyguard.

And the woman in the hall is sitting on it, and the person holding the book on the ground in front of her looks like a receptionist. This woman's status is higher than that of the receptionist, so it must be You Siniang.

When the woman heard what Zhao Tun said, she didn't dare to answer, so she wanted to escape from the back of the hall, but Zhao Tun came to the door and said: "The light is in the sky, the darkness falls to the ground, and it shines everywhere. Get home!"

"Ah!" After the woman heard this sentence, her feet sank suddenly, and her heart was full of doubts.

This is impossible, this is clearly...

Zhao Tun shouted in front of the door: "You flag bearer, where do you want to go!"

The woman trembled all over, what she just said was the slogan of the Messenger of Light, she didn't believe that she would meet the Messenger of Light in Kaifeng Mansion in Tokyo!
Within the Ming Cult, the leader is the largest and has the strongest martial arts skills. Below him are the four envoys of light, whose power is second only to the leader. As for martial arts, some envoys even go after the leader.

The envoys of light have a high status and are rarely seen by ordinary people. Even though she has been in the religion for a long time, she has only seen the true faces of two envoys of light, but she has never met the other two.

She didn't believe that the young man on the other side would be an envoy of light, maybe she heard the slogan from somewhere, or maybe she read some scriptures.

But pretending to be an envoy of light is a serious crime of blasphemy, and one must go to the platform of fire in the church!
She gritted her teeth and turned her head, trying to remember this man's appearance. If she could go out, she would definitely report to Sanren after she became Muslim, and he would be wanted by the whole world.

But just after she turned her head, she saw something in the young man's hand, like a token, she was stunned immediately, it was...

"Boldly envoy, if you offend the next one, you still don't know the crime!"

You Siniang heard a "buzz" in her head, and what she was holding in her hand turned out to be the token of the Envoy of Light. There was no mistake, that silver color, that pattern, and the majestic "right" character were the token of the Light Envoy. Right!

Her knees softened suddenly, and she knelt down on the ground with a "plop", her body trembling.

Within the Ming Cult, the ranking of the envoys of light is arranged in order of left and right, with the leader being the largest, followed by the left envoy of light, and the envoy of light on the right.

The Mingjiao of the Central Plains has no saints, and the saints of the Mingjiao of the Uyghur cannot be counted as members of the Mingjiao of the Central Plains, so the Guangming Youshi is the third person in the teaching.

And she is just a small envoy in charge of the banner, and she is not even qualified to talk to the envoy of light on weekdays.

You Siniang knelt on the ground, terrified in her heart, although she didn't know why the Bright Right Envoy appeared in Tokyo, but there was both a slogan and a badge, so there was no mistake.

Zhao Tun originally just showed the token with the intention of giving it a try, but he didn't expect that the other party really knew him, and judging from his posture, he seemed to be very afraid of the Envoy of Light.

He shook his head, and said to himself: "This is not good, we are all brothers and sisters, no matter how high or low, if you make a mistake, you will be punished, how can you just kneel, there is no integrity like this, Fang La has no way to teach. "

"My lord, this woman..." Shen Fei whispered.

"Tie it up." Zhao Tong said.

"Yes!" Shen Fei rushed forward with a group of teenagers from the Scarlet Pioneer Group, and tied You Siniang tightly.

The escort envoy next to him was frightened and stupid at this time, and the escort envoy was the lowest status among the envoys, he didn't require martial arts skills, only eloquence.

Although this envoy is not powerless, he really has no other skills. Seeing You Siniang kneeling, how can he tell what to do?

These incidents were ups and downs, and the people on the ground in the house didn't react at all, and they saw that the messenger in front of him was tied up like a zongzi.

Only then did the commoners start to panic, and many stood up and were about to run outside. Seeing this, Luo Jinshui shouted: "Sit down, sit down, the imperial army is doing business, don't panic."

The common people breathed a sigh of relief when they heard about the Forbidden Army. Although the Gyeonggi Forbidden Army has a bad reputation and is proficient in eating, drinking, whoring and gambling, they depend on them to maintain the law and order on the streets day and night, and they have never done anything that angers others.

Zhao Tang glanced at these common people, and expressed deep doubts about their belief in Mingjiao. The people on the side of the water gate in the east of the city all ate food on the river, and they usually worshiped the dragon king and water god. It is estimated that there are not many righteousness, and there is probably not much piety.

He thought for a while, it was useless to take over, it might as well be dismissed, after a moment of silence he said: "All go home, from now on we are not allowed to gather people to listen to scriptures, if we find out, we will all be arrested and sent to prison."

The common people don't care whether they can listen to the scriptures in the future, as long as they are allowed to go home, it only takes a moment for them to disperse like birds and beasts.

Then Zhao Tong escorted him back to the house near the Niujie Hotel. Not long after, Tan Zhen also arrested him, and another meeting place was also destroyed.

At present, all four members of Mingjiao in the city were arrested, and Zhao Tama interrogated You Siniang overnight, and only then did he know that there were actually more than four people who came to Tokyo this time, and Du Hongmian, one of the six great scattered people, actually also arrived, but they only stayed for one night. Leaving, even the woman who was interrogated before didn't know.

You Siniang was trembling, until now she still couldn't figure out Zhao Tun's other identities, but she was sure that Zhao Tun must be the right envoy of the light, so she answered every question, saying it was an interrogation, but in fact it was as easy as pouring beans.

Zhao Tang looked at her and asked, "Where did Du Hongmian go?"

You Siniang said: "I only know that I went to Shandong, but I don't know where and what happened."

Shandong?Zhao Tong squinted his eyes, the most likely way to go to Shandong is to go to Liangshan, this is a harbinger of Fang La's going to rise up, build momentum everywhere, and when the time comes to respond everywhere, the imperial court will lose sight of the other and mess things up.

However, Song Jiang wanted to recruit An to be an official. He was afraid that he would only make false promises, and might not make a promise.

He narrowed his eyes and said, "Du Hongmian went alone?"

You Siniang hesitated: "I don't know about this. In Tokyo, I walked alone. It's hard to say whether I will meet other people on the road."

Zhao Tong sneered: "What has Shenggong been up to lately?"

You Siniang was not surprised when she heard the words. Although Fang La is the leader of the Ming Cult, people in the sect generally call him Sheng Gong, and the other party is the right envoy of the Brightness, so calling him more confirms his identity.

She hurriedly said: "Youshi, I have a low position, but I haven't seen Shenggong for a long time, but I heard that I seem to be training soldiers on the mountain."

"Training?" Zhao Tun rubbed his chin: "When is Sheng Gong planning to start an incident?"

You Siniang was shocked when she heard the words, even though there was no one else in the room at the moment, she couldn't help saying in a low voice: "You envoy, this..."

Zhao Tang glanced at her: "I've been in the capital for a long time, although I don't know much about these things, but Fang Baihua built a female soldier team, and Shenggong is training soldiers again, so why not rebel?"

You Siniang hurriedly said: "This... I also heard that even the right envoys don't know the time, let alone me."

Zhao Tong sneered and asked a few more questions, seeing how rare it was, he said, "Put all of you in a prison and think about it for a few days. Tokyo is my territory, and Du Hongmian dared to intervene in it. It's really audacious."

You Siniang didn't doubt it when she heard the words: "It's all about punishment by the right envoy."

Zhao Tuo called someone in to take You Siniang away, then thought for a while, wondering if Du Hongmian would return to Tokyo, if he did, these people didn't have to be killed, they could be of use if they couldn't be... …
