Water Margin people

Chapter 248 Blackmailing Mingjiao
After the boat sailed for half a day, they encountered people from Mingjiao blocking the river with fishing boats.

"Guardian Deng, those people from Liangshan are here!"

Qian Zhenpeng pointed to the Liangshan fleet that was slowly approaching and said to Deng Yuanjue that he was originally the capital of Qingxi County, but because he admired Fang La, he joined Mingjiao and became the leader of Mingjiao altar, and now he is in charge of missionary affairs near Changzhou.

"The number of people is still quite a lot! When did so many people come to Jiangnan from Liangshan?"

Xu Ding said, there were dozens of ships coming, and the number of them should be around two hundred.

"Guardian Deng, I will lead someone to kill him and rescue the Holy Son!"

Jin Jie said, both of them are Qian Zhenpeng's assistants and the incense masters of Mingjiao.

"No, this gang of Liangshan thieves are coming aggressively. If they are provoked, they may kill the Holy Son."

Qian Zhenpeng spoke immediately.

"Then you can't really give one hundred thousand coins!"

Jin Jie looked at Qian Zhenpeng and said, Mingjiao only collects tens of thousands of guan in a year in Changzhou, and those people in Liangshan open their mouths with a hundred thousand guan, where did they get the money?
While they were arguing, a group of chariots and horses arrived, and the leader was holding a plain knife. It was another altar master of Mingjiao—Si Xingfang. Behind him were four generals, Xue Dounan, Huang Ai, Xu Bai, Miquan is the incense master of the Ming religion.

"What's going on? Why did the Holy Son fall into the hands of thieves?"

As soon as Si Xingfang came, he looked at the crowd and questioned, Fang Tian must be the holy son of Mingjiao, and he must not make a mistake. He was transferring money and food in Wuxi, and came here without stopping when he received the news.

"It is said that Sun Lei who met Liang Shanbo when he was going to invite Wan Chun over there, Sheng Zi and Li Tan Master were all captured by Liang Shan's people. The news came half a day ago that Liang Shan and those people said they wanted a ransom of [-] coins!"

Qian Zhenpeng said.

"Liang Shanbo is too deceitful! This is Jiangnan, these outsiders really don't know how to live or die, and we will kill them today!"

Si Xingfang was furious. How could anyone dare to be an enemy of the Ming Cult in Jiangnan?Now that the group of outsiders in Liangshanbo dare to kidnap the Holy Son of the Mingjiao and ask for a ransom, it is simply not giving them Mingjiao face.

"It turned out to be an acquaintance!"

Sun Lei looked at the Mingjiao people in front of him, and immediately saw Baoguang Tathagata Deng Yuanjue. This monk was too conspicuous, but today Deng Yuanjue was only wearing a taupe monk's robe, not the exaggerated purple robe.

"Boss Sun, where is my Holy Son of Mingjiao?"

Deng Yuanjue looked at Sun Lei and asked.

"Don't worry, it's fine!"

Sun Lei pointed to Fang Tianding and others who were tied up in the cabin behind him.

"Boss Sun, you are all people in the world, why don't you release my Mingjiao Shengzi first, let's sit down and talk about anything."

Deng Yuanjue breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Fang Tian was going to be fine.

"Grand Monk, you take this for granted. He is in my hands, so let me go if you say so?"

Sun Lei didn't expect Deng Yuanjue, who was "profound in Buddhism", to speak so shamelessly, but Fang Tianding was caught by his own ability, because he released him with a word?Deng Yuanjue is not a person with the ability to save face.

"Sun Lei, if you don't release the Holy Son today, you will all die!"

Si Xingfang was not prepared to speak properly. The people from Liang Shanbo went to the south of the Yangtze River to sweep up their Mingjiao Mingjiao's face. In his opinion, they had nothing to say, and they had to kill them all to promote the Mingjiao's majesty.

"Who are you?"

Sun Lei asked.

"The head of the Mingjiao altar, Xingfang!"

Si Xingfang replied.

"Oh, do you want me to chop off a few in front of you and use their heads to make a war letter?"

Sun Lei looked at Si Fangxing and asked.

Si Xingfang was furious, but he didn't dare to answer. If Fang Tianding was killed because of this, the leader Fang La would never let him off lightly.

"Amitabha, Leader Sun, Liangshan has no grievances or enmities with our Mingjiao. Why did we come to this point? Let's sit down and have a good talk, and turn the conflict into friendship."

Deng Yuanjue performed a Buddhist ceremony and continued to speak.

"Great monk, I originally thought the same way, but you Mingjiao made the first move, and I had to fight back. If it comes to this, it is your Mingjiao who is wrong!"

Sun Lei shook his head.

"Hmph, you trespassed into the south of the Yangtze River without permission and killed my Mingjiao people, how dare the villains sue first?"

Si Xingfang pointed at Sun Lei and scolded angrily.

"Does Jiangnan belong to you? Don't you think it's ridiculous to talk nonsense here without even daring to plant a flag?"

Sun Lei looked at Si Xingfang and said, this guy is obviously here to quarrel, Deng Yuanjue said good things, but this guy said harsh words, he wanted to play both hard and soft words.

The Mingjiao has not yet officially taken off. It has only tentatively attacked a county town, but it quickly retreated to the mountains, mainly operating in secret.

"Needless to say, one hundred thousand coins plus clearing the way, the people are yours!"

Sun Lei was too lazy to waste words with Si Fangxing, the longer it took, the worse it would be for them.

"Don't even think about it!"

Si Xingfang roared.

"Don't even think about it? I'll chop one up and show you right now! Let's see who's thinking about it."

Sun Lei made a gesture to go to the cabin to catch someone out.

"Fang Shengzi, it seems that some people in Mingjiao want you to die, so they won't give you money. It's just a hundred thousand guan. Don't tell me you, Mingjiao Shengzi, are not worth the price? , now I can only invite you out."

Sun Lei watched Fang Tianding helplessly spread his hands and said, Fang Tianding and others should have heard clearly what he said just now.

"Boss Sun, those people are subordinates, ignorant, don't take it to heart, I have an ID card here, if Chief Sun gives it to them, they will definitely give it [-] coins!"

When Fang Tianding heard that he was about to leave the cabin, he immediately opened his mouth and said.

"Say it earlier, Son, don't worry, everyone is a decent person, I know what to do."

Sun Lei took the ID badge with a smile, and patted Fang Tianding on the shoulder to show his friendliness.

Fang Tianding suddenly felt moved, he felt that Sun Lei was a good person and knew how to take care of his face, but those under him were extremely stupid and didn't know how to think about him as a holy son.

Sun Lei walked out of the cabin again with a smile, and this time he led people ashore directly.

"People don't want to come out to see you, saying that your status is too low. Let's see if this is worth a hundred thousand!"

Sun Lei threw Fang Tianding's identity token over. The token was surrounded by flame patterns, with a Ming character engraved on one side and a square character engraved on the other.Si Fangxing caught it, and his expression changed instantly.

"Holy Child Token!"

When Qian Zhenpeng saw the token, he immediately looked solemn. Seeing the token was like seeing a holy son. They, Dharma protectors, altar masters, and incense masters, must obey unconditionally.

"This?"

Si Xingfang and Qian Zhenpeng looked at Deng Yuanjue. Here, Deng Yuanjue has the highest status in the sect and is the Dharma protector.

"Since the Holy Son has an order, we can only execute it. Changzhou only has [-] Guan. How much is the transshipment fee for the altar master?"

Deng Yuanjue looked at Si Xingfang and asked, he was thinking about how to raise money, but the money from the surrounding state capitals could not be transported in a short time, and Si Xingfang was still passing by to transfer money and food.

"There are [-] guan, but these things are requested by the leader. Our army is short of weapons and food, and we are short of this money!"

Si Xingfang hesitated and said that his task was to transport the [-] coins back to Qingxi.

"Saving the Holy Son is important! The leader will understand."

Deng Yuanjue said with a headache, he is not good at these things, but they are the only people near Taihu Lake, and the think tanks in the church are all active near Hangzhou.

"I don't care about that. What I'm worried about is that if this matter spreads, it will tarnish the Ming Cult's reputation, and the leader will be furious!"

Si Xingfang said, money is still a trivial matter, what I fear most is that this matter will spread to Fang La's ears, and that is the most troublesome thing.
