The past of Li Dashan

Yang Ruoqing turned on all the lights, and looked around again: "I came to this place more than ten years ago, and I came in with your brother-in-law."

"what?"

"Well," Yang Ruoqing nodded, walked a few steps casually in the huge stone room, sat down lazily on a stool made of stone next to her, patted the armrest of the stool with both hands, and said lightly with the taste of memories:

"Many years ago, there was a man named Li Dashan in Lijia Village. Hundreds of acres of fields, mountains, tea gardens, and peach orchards were all owned by Li Dashan... At that time, he was not only a great gentry in this area, but also famous far and wide."

"Later, because my father had a dispute with the long-term worker of Li Dashan's family, my father was beaten, and the butler of Li Dashan's family was arrogant. Your brother-in-law and I sneaked into the Li family's compound in order to vent our anger on my father... that day It just so happened that Li Dashan came in with his concubine, we wandered around in the backyard of the Li family, and found this secret room for the first time."

"Ah?" Liu Xueyun looked around with surprise on her face.

Apart from the stone bench under Yang Ruoqing, some smashed black stones scattered on the ground, and the overturned shrine covered with cobwebs, there was basically nothing else in the secret room.

Yang Ruoqing nodded, pointed to a few places in the stone room, and continued to tell Liu Xueyun what she discovered back then.

The biggest discovery is naturally the discovery of the secret that Li Dashan is a follower of the Black Lotus Sect.

On the surface, he is a great benevolent person, benefiting the village, digging reservoirs for Lijia Village, building roads and bridges, and opening a porridge shop to help the villagers in times of famine. Everyone loves him.

But in fact, in the secret room underground of his house, the bones of children who had been lost for no reason in the surrounding villages were everywhere.

"Hey, those black stones at your feet are the stone mill blood troughs that Tang Yazi and I smashed."

"There is also a large piece of the wall that was pried away, which was used to worship Maitreya Buddha,"

Maitreya Buddha is a god worshiped by the followers of the Black Lotus Sect. Liu Xueyun personally came into contact with this area while following Yang Ruoqing in the capital.

Even though he had never been with Yang Ruoqing before, he had heard about the Black Lotus Sect when he was still a small policeman in Changle County.

"The Black Lotus Sect is really harmful. It cares nothing about human life. It's an evil religion. It's abominable!" Liu Xueyun followed Yang Ruoqing's instructions, and wherever his eyes glanced, he seemed to be able to imagine the scene at that time.

"That's not counting. If you look at the stone slab above your head, do you see a lot of iron hooks?" Yang Ruoqing asked again.

Liu Xueyun raised her head, and at a glance she indeed saw sporadic iron hooks deeply embedded in the top of the stone wall.

But looking again, I feel that the layout of these iron hooks is a little different.

He couldn't help standing up straight, holding up the torch in his hand and looking over one by one.

"These iron hooks used to hang an iron cage on each hook. The iron cage was covered with a black cloth, and the boys under one year old were imprisoned inside, and the red cloth was used to imprison girls."

Then Yang Ruoqing's voice sounded, and she came to Liu Xueyun's side.

She raised her finger and pointed to those iron hooks: "Look, the positions of these iron hooks are carefully distributed, and when put together, they are in the shape of a blooming lotus flower."

Liu Xueyun frowned, looked at all this with hatred, and said through gritted teeth: "Everywhere is full of crime and blood!"

Yang Ruoqing shrugged: "Why don't you say that cults are harmful to people!"

"Sister, what happened next? Has Li Dashan been brought to justice?" Liu Xueyun asked.

That's not a good person, he can't even be called a human being, at best he's an evil ghost in human skin.

"What do you mean?" Yang Ruoqing pulled a strand of hair behind her ear, smiling slightly wryly.

"At that time, Li Dashan was indeed taken away by the officials, but in the end he was taken away by the accomplices of the Black Lotus Sect, because he has been collecting money for the Black Lotus Sect over the years, and he is not an ordinary believer in the Black Lotus Sect. To the 'official position'."

If it is an ordinary believer, it is estimated that they will be cannon fodder.

Because Li Dashan is an "insider", once it falls into the hands of the government, the dens and contacts in this area may be uprooted.

So the Black Lotus Sect sent forces to rob Li Dashan.

Hearing that she had been busy for a while, she was in vain, Liu Xueyun was so angry that she kicked the stone bench next to her away.

"No reason!"

It's a pity that he was only ten years old at that time, and he was also a child. Even if he risked his life now, he still couldn't let the tiger go back to the mountain.

"Don't be annoyed, things are going to be reversed." Yang Ruoqing glanced at Liu Xueyun, and said with a smile.

Liu Xueyun temporarily suppressed the overwhelming anger in her heart, looked at her, and eagerly waited for the follow-up.

"Li Dashan is unlucky to say the least. After escaping back to the headquarters of the Black Lotus Sect, it was a desperate effort. Once there was a mission to go back to the Niu Mountain area, and he volunteered to take the mission as a local. .”

"It was a coincidence that we met in the mountains. At that time, your brother-in-law was already serving in the southern military camp, and I also made friends with Brother Zuo from Huguang County,"

"Li Dashan threw himself into the trap, and he must have no good fruit to eat. Brother Zuo has a kind of medicine. Li Dashan has taken that medicine. He needs to ask us for the antidote every once in a while, otherwise he will die of poison. .”

"Since then, Li Dashan has been pitiful, and has become our internal response in the middle."

"This relationship lasted for three to five years. After the death of General Tiangong, turmoil occurred within the Black Lotus Sect. It seems that Li Dashan was also killed in the internal strife."

If he hadn't been killed, he wouldn't have come to ask for an antidote after so many years, and he would have died of poisoning early.

"If he dies, it will be cheap for him. It is kind of a villain like him to kill him with a knife, and he should let him taste that life is worse than death." Liu Xueyun still had an angry face.

As soon as the subject changed, he was a little worried: "Is it possible that he is not dead yet, but he just found an expert to prepare the antidote?"

"Your concern is understandable, but this outcome is absolutely impossible."

"Sister, why are you so sure?"

"Because the person who dispensed the medicine was Zuo Jun Mo Zuo, and Zuo Big Brother is not only a representative of a successful businessman in our Da Qi, but also a direct descendant of the Mo family."

"A direct descendant of the Mo family?" Liu Xueyun's eyes widened suddenly.

I have never eaten pork, but I have seen pigs run.

What kind of inheritance is the Mohist family? At the beginning, the Confucian family and the Han family were compared. It was a big family that stretched for several dynasties. It is said that the founder of the Mohist family could build a wooden horse that ran by itself and a glider that could fly in the sky.

It is also recorded in the book that in the Mohist flower hall, the beautiful maids serving tea and water to the guests are not flesh and blood, but made of leather, wood, and a series of complicated and profound mechanisms to make the 'maids' look like real ones.

"I believe it. Li Dashan should have died a long time ago." Liu Xueyun nodded vigorously, without any doubt in her heart.

Yang Ruoqing smiled relievedly, "So, Li Dashan must be dead, so here comes the question, why can the latrine of the chamber pot man's house lead to the secret room of Li Dashan's house?"
